Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 579 Be Prepared to Be Knife-ed

After Lily left, Sister Zhang walked over to the bald man, carefully sat down, and frowned, somewhat puzzled: "Boss, it's getting harder and harder for everyone to make money these days, so why are you raising the table fees? Aren't you afraid that all the customers will go to other places?"

The bald man sneered, "People who are still out having fun even with the economy in such a difficult time right now are obviously not short of money, and it's a necessity for them. Since it's a necessity, they won't be sensitive to prices. Anyway, low prices won't attract non-essential consumers, so why not raise prices to make up for our losses?"

Sister Zhang pursed her lips and pondered for a long time, trying to make her presence known: "Boss, could it be because the crackdown on oranges has been more intense in recent years? The more intense the crackdown, the higher the commission, which is in line with the laws of market economy."

"Pah, you jinx!"

The bald man slammed the blowtorch igniter onto the coffee table, startling Sister Zhang so much that she trembled and hurriedly apologized.

After all, she was a woman who had been with him for many years.

Seeing that the other party was quite frightened, the bald man softened his tone: "You don't understand. The lower the tips in our place, the faster the girls leave. So we raise the table fees to retain and attract more girls. Those seasoned perverts, if their quality isn't up to par, no matter how many special services they offer, they won't stay."

Giving her a way out, Sister Zhang nestled into the bald man's arms, poking his big belly with her little finger: "Boss, you're right, I'll listen to you. By the way, how was my performance just now?"

The bald man rolled over and pinned her down, but his mind was filled with memories of his conversation with Lily.

Sister Zhang is getting old, and her thinking is indeed not keeping up with the younger generation.

Or, how about we promote that woman named Lily to the position of general manager?

"Very good, I'm very satisfied. Please keep up the good work!"

“Disgusting~~”

After their lovemaking, Sister Zhang, while straightening the rumpled hem of her cheongsam, casually asked, "Boss, didn't you always oppose including young ladies in our company's management, saying you were afraid it would affect our normal operations? Why are you now interested in the commission for these escorts?"

The bald man, naked except for his briefs, sat on the sofa, picked up the cigar he had smoked halfway through but then extinguished, and lit it again with a blowtorch.

The bald man said helplessly, "I used to be scared by that Chen Shu from Zhongshan Institute. There are so many KTVs in Dongzhou that offer escort services, but he just hangs around our shop whenever he has free time. I recently heard that he went to become a leader in the SWAT team. No wonder there hasn't been any activity in the shop for so long. This is normal! I figured I might as well make some money here."

After getting dressed, Sister Zhang took the cigarettes and gun from the bald man and said ingratiatingly, "Boss, why don't you just take a cut of the girls' earnings from selling their bodies? In the past, this was international practice, and they wouldn't refuse."

The bald man leaned back, staring at the colorful ceiling, and said with lingering fear, "No, Old Li's words make a lot of sense. We shouldn't touch this money. Give it all to them! All we need are for them to lead the customers in for drinks. If they get caught being escorts, we can just pay a fine. But if we get involved in prostitution, we'll end up in jail if we get caught. It's not worth it."

A_PARTY's marketing strategy involves using the girls' illicit activities to increase customer traffic, thereby indirectly increasing the company's revenue from private rooms and drinks.

"Paid companionship" mainly refers to the act of exchanging payment for "emotional support" and "accompaniment" in exchange for services such as "emotional support" and "travel." In commercial entertainment venues, providing paid companionship services such as drinking and singing for profit is illegal.

However, it is still an administrative penalty. The county-level public security department will confiscate the illegal gains and illicit property, and order the business to suspend operations for 3 to 6 months. In serious cases, the original issuing authority will revoke the entertainment business license, and impose a fine of 1 to 2 yuan on the directly responsible supervisors and other directly responsible personnel. "Organizing the sale of silver" is a criminal offense, punishable by imprisonment, with a minimum sentence of five years.

Sister Zhang accidentally pressed down with her right hand, and the igniter on the spray gun went out.

She pressed the button several times, and the flame finally reignited from the muzzle. She said with a heavy heart, "Boss, if you put Lily in Old Li's manager position, what will happen to Old Li? He's an old man who's been with you since he was a kid, helping you build your empire."

The bald man said menacingly, "Old Li learned a lot during his 'advanced training' in the cage last time, which taught us a valuable lesson and brought back a lot of experience. He's a meritorious contributor to the company. Now that we've decided to make another killing, we can't let him cross us. Lily, that little girl has been acting up and causing trouble for us a lot of orders recently."

"Once Lily has settled into her managerial role and her appetite has grown from our commissions, I'll promote her to general manager to oversee the company's overall operations."

"What! She's even giving her my general manager?!"

Sister Zhang was completely dumbfounded, thinking that the man she had been with for so many years was about to abandon her.

"You, after all this time, you still don't understand! You and Lao Li are both heroes! Heroes, understand?" The bald man pointed at Sister Zhang with his finger, exasperated, and then suddenly thought of the young and quick-witted Lily.

Although Sister Zhang still didn't quite understand the boss's plan, she could tell that the other party had no intention of abandoning her.

So she snuggled up to the boss and playfully pounded his thigh.

Baldy, pleased with his plan, waved his hand and concluded, "Then the three of us will all retreat behind the scenes, only keeping an eye on the finances, and washing our hands of everything else. Hey, 'don't care, don't know, don't know,' Old Li's three no's principle makes a lot of sense."

Sister Zhang stopped what she was doing and asked doubtfully, "Boss, I think Wang Lili is alright too. She's much more uninhibited and greedy when it comes to this stuff than Lily. She also seems a bit silly. Why don't you promote her?"

The bald man stroked his chin dismissively: "Hmph, that country bumpkin. Things are different now. It's not like you can just have a daring madam with young ladies to bring in customers. You have to be professional! Lily graduated from the music department of the provincial normal school, a proper prestigious university, not like those who can't even get into some shady college."

"Boss, when I first saw her resume, I also found it strange. Why would a graduate from a prestigious university come to us? She could do many other things that would be better for her!"

Sister Zhang continued massaging the boss's thighs. Although the incident had happened a long time ago, she still couldn't hide her surprise.

Lily, who just left, sported a trendy retro afro hairstyle, shimmering eyeliner, and an extremely tight-fitting cheongsam with an extreme slit. She really didn't seem to fit the image of a "prestigious university student."

"With the economy so bad right now, what business outside can make as much money as ours? I didn't want to get involved in this business before, so I just let her bring a group of female students to work in the company to make a living, since some customers are after this stuff."

"She's practically delivered herself to our doorstep, so why not take advantage of it? Besides, money isn't something you can just earn so easily. If she wants to make this money, she should be prepared to get ripped off!"

"Jie Jie Jie."
