The feeling of rebirth is hard to restrain

Williams took Adrian and Andy to the store to deal with things. Anyway, one sheep is herding, and two sheep are also herding...

It wasn't Adrian's first visit to a family-owned store, everyone in the store knew him and saluted him and Andy respectfully.

"Master, this is the account book. This year we have..." The person in charge of the store greeted him carefully, and told about the situation in the store this year, including the difficulties this year.

Now there are more and more products in the college. Many people love to buy cheap and practical products for convenience. Old-fashioned products are becoming less and less popular. For example, oil lamps and oils have only sold a few catties this month. You can sell a lot in a month!

It's just that the master is a staunch conservative, and he refuses to cooperate with the academics, so the person in charge looks anxious at the declining business volume, fearing that he will be replaced by accident... How many people under him treat him well? The position is eyeing, so he is under pressure!

Williams nodded and beckoned Adrian to come over: "Do you have any questions about this account book?"

Adrian was stunned, pointing to his nose: "Me?"

"Um."

The person in charge was also stunned, he secretly glanced at the second young master, and had doubts in his heart: Could it be that the master is going to hand over this shop to the second young master?

Adrian took the account book, and when he opened it, he was almost dazzled by the symbols and numbers.

Andy looked at him sympathetically.

"Andy, read this book." Williams pointed to it.

"...Do I want it too?" Andy blinked, he shouldn't have to learn to read the ledger, right?

"Hmm." Williams turned to chat with the person in charge, "Nothing special happened in the store recently, right?"

The person in charge hesitated for a moment, and frowned slightly: "...not counting..."

"How are Carlo and Hongsheng getting along?" Williams called directly.

"...They are still running in." The person in charge lowered his head: "But I have already told them."

"Personal grievances don't affect work. I don't want to see arguing in front of customers like last time." Williams said.

"Yes, young master." The person in charge bowed and said, "I will restrain them well."

"Carol doesn't need to worry too much, Mr. Hong, please persuade him." Williams waved his hand: "Go out, I will check the account."

"Yes." The person in charge hastily withdrew.

Williams walked over and asked casually, "How? Do you still understand?"

"What the hell is this? I can't understand it at all!" Adrian said with a pile of smoke on his head, "What are these talking about..."

"I forgot to teach you. These are the symbols they remember. This one means selling, this one means buying, and this..." Williams flipped through them one by one.

"Ah! I can't remember!" Adrian wailed.

"It's more difficult to understand than my drawing..." Andy's eyes were full of stars, and he lay on the chair, rubbing his forehead in distress: "I get a headache when I look at the numbers."

Williams ignored them and kept saying, "You have to calculate the balance between expenses and income, and carefully check what they bought and whether the price was right..."

"Wait, how do I know if the price is right?" Adrian interrupted him.

"At the beginning, find someone to check first, and the market price is about the same. After that, you will know how much you bought something. If it exceeds, you have to ask the person in charge to explain why it is so expensive. Sometimes it may be It is a change in materials, sometimes it may be a shortage of a certain material, or the original factory closed down and found a new factory, you will know if you do too much.” Williams said.

"...I'm the boss, so I have to take care of so many things." Adrian was depressed.

"If you can be a steward, how many people have an account in mind? If you see that you are easy to bully, you will be more lenient. If you become tough, they will be cowardly. You can be tougher in the first few years, and you can be sympathetic in the next few days. Let them If you feel that you value them, this is the later stage, now you prepare the early stage, and tell me if there are any problems after reading it.” Williams said.

"...what if it's okay?" Adrian asked.

"It means that the other party has done a good job, but you have to be careful, some of them make false accounts to deceive you, transfer the quota from the previous year to the next year, or eat some sold things as consumables, so you have to Smart, if you see some numbers that are not right, you should question them and have someone check the accounts." Williams said.

"Which ones? Just tell me!" Adrian said.

"There are too many signs, try it first, if you can't find it, I'll help you find it later." Williams hoped that Adrian would not put everything on others, but try to deal with it himself.

"And you know this store must have..." Adrian muttered.

"There must be one here," Williams said flatly.

This store was cleaned up by him, and the manager got a little greedy, so he let it go because there weren't many more, and he didn't replace the manager, but the small problems continued. Williams planted an eyeliner in the store and knew something.

"..." Adrian buried his head in the account book depressedly. After looking at it for a while, he felt that the number was clear and he did a good job... It's just that the business volume was a little less, but he heard that all the products sold in the store were traditional ones. Things are not very pleasing now, and his father refuses to cater to new ideas, so the store's income and expenditure are not balanced.

Andy rested his chin on the table, and his eyes almost met.

"Ah... so annoying, can't it be simpler?" Adrian scratched his head, "I... I can't figure it out..."

"There's a piece of paper next to it, you can use it to take notes." Williams flipped through a page of the ledger, and made notes on the paper that only he could understand.

Adrian looked at the white paper next to him, he refused to write! !

"Brother... I don't need it~~" Andy said with a drawn out voice.

"No, you want to too." Williams sat quietly and unmoved.

Andy put his face on the table in frustration...

He's okay with painting, but asking him to read numbers...it's the same as reading a book from heaven.

No matter how he calculates, he is wrong!

Seeing the lifeless appearance of both of them, Williams said in order to 'motivate' their initiative, "Those who haven't finished watching the whole thing after two hours will deduct their pocket money this month."

"...!!!" Adrian and Andy.

"How can this be?! I read very slowly!" Adrian protested.

"That's right! It's the first time we look at the account books, so we should be slower!" Andy echoed.

"The objection is invalid, two hours is too much for you." Williams said with his head down.

"..." The two stared at their brother.

Williams didn't seem to notice it, and still looked at the account book in his hand calmly.

Adrian and Andy glanced at each other, and could only look at the ledger dejectedly.

Two hours later, Adrian first dropped the ledger: "There is no problem at all!! I have checked all the numbers! Very good! It is very neat and clear!"

Williams also put down the ledger, took his one, then turned a few pages, and pointed to one of the places: "Why have so many things been thrown away this month, are they all defective?"

"...Throw it away if there is a defect...Isn't it right? Everything is written to make it clear what's wrong..." Adrian said in a daze.

"Look here, right on both sides." Williams flipped forward a few pages: "Many of them were bought a few months ago, so they broke so quickly?"

"Hmm... maybe consumables..." Adrian said stiffly.

"It may be that something happened in the store that caused so many things to be thrown away, or the manager conspired with the factory to not order the quantity he said, and the rest of the quantity was filled with scrap products from the factory. So a few months It's going to be thrown away," Williams said.

"No...you can't?" Adrian thought it was inconceivable that someone would deliberately order a smaller quantity and then buy a defective product?Don't they find it troublesome?

"And here..." Williams casually read a few pages, and found two or three questions. He taught Adrian seriously, including the methods and experiences he had encountered in his previous life.

Adrian felt that his eyes had been opened, if he had changed it, he wouldn't have to bother for such a small amount of money... he was just greedy for a few silver dollars!

"A few silver dollars at a time can save a gold coin a few times, and their monthly salary is only one gold coin, so they are naturally attracted." Williams said.In fact, this is already considered cowardly, and he has dealt with a few exaggerated ones.

Adrian of the second generation doesn't understand the idea of ​​the lower classes desperately fighting for a silver dollar. He is generous and can spend a few gold coins a day.

Andy understood a little bit. He went to Haishi with Williams, and met many low-level people there... Some people may not earn a silver dollar a day. If there is a chance for them to steal a few silver dollars, they may not Can withstand the temptation of the heart.

But many things were not said by his brother, and he might not have thought of them so deeply...

"Understood? It's up to you how you want to deal with this situation. You can deduct the account books first and ask someone to check the accounts of the factory and the management in private, or you can directly make trouble, but if you are not fully sure, it is easy for them to bypass you. If you can be in charge, you can speak well, and you may not find his sophistry." Williams taught him.

"...Oh..." Adrian still looked dazed.

He felt that it was really difficult to manage the store, but luckily his father handed over most of the property to his brother...

Let him take care of it and not die!

"Then what am I doing now?" Adrian asked his brother, "I want to check but there is no one..."

Williams thought for a while: "Starting today, I will assign some people to you, and you will teach them well in the future, and teach them to be your right-hand man."

"...It's coming again..." Adrian wailed and rolled his face on the table: "Can it be simpler?"

"It's never easy when it comes to money," Williams said.

Andy shrank his shoulders, reducing his sense of existence.

The author has something to say:

I went out to play all day yesterday, so tired! !
