Chapter 350 Accounting Process
The old lady has been bedridden for years due to health reasons and is almost isolated from the outside world. Most of her knowledge of external things comes from what her daughter-in-law Liu Ruoyi says.
However, Liu Ruoyi did not report every detail to the old lady. For example, she would not take the initiative to mention the newly opened shops on the main street of Liuzhou City, so as not to arouse the old lady's interest. However, she was unable to visit the scene due to her mobility problems, which would make the old lady sad. Because of this, the old lady was unaware of the matter of Lulutong.
Liu Ruoyi was the head of the prefectural government, and she not only had to manage the public property in the government, but also had to take care of the business of the shop she brought as a dowry. Over time, she became familiar with all kinds of shops in Liuzhou City.
Especially for shops like Lulutong that are doing a booming business and are quite innovative, they have become the focus of her attention and the object of her in-depth understanding. Therefore, when the old lady just finished asking questions, Liu Ruoyi was able to quickly provide relevant information about Lulutong.
"Mom, Lulutong is a new store that was opened in recent months, but it is similar to the post station. This store focuses on undertaking various transportation businesses. Whether it is cargo, letters or personnel escort, it is all within the business scope of Lulutong. Compared with traditional post stations, it is not only more convenient and faster, but also can guarantee safety."
"I heard that wherever Lulutong's convoy passes, even the bandits have to retreat. Now they have set up branches in several surrounding states. Many merchants have come here to seek cooperation. My daughter-in-law's tea shop has also cooperated with Lulutong. During this period, the transportation of tea is handled by Lulutong's people."
The old lady was immediately excited when she heard this: "Oh? There is actually such a strange shop. I have never heard of it before."
"My daughter-in-law had no idea about this at first. This store seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. In just two years, it has flourished like mushrooms after rain. To achieve such success, the backing must be very powerful."
"But my daughter-in-law can't understand why Lu Lu Tong, who has such a strong background, still needs the help of the great doctor to come forward in person to protect him?"
The old lady thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the divine doctor thinks yellow and white things are vulgar and doesn't want to accept our thank-you gift, but he's afraid that we might misunderstand, so he made this request. The divine doctor also said that if you need to find him, you can go to the manager of Lulutong. It can be seen that the two have a close relationship. It's not a bad thing to make friends with him. Later, you can ask Heshan to come over and I'll talk to him in person."
"it is good."
Lin Chuyi and Ping'an appeared near the gate of the prefectural mansion with their packages, and met the eyes of the steward Zhang Quan who had been waiting there for a long time.
When Zhang Quan saw the two of them appear from afar, a bright smile immediately broke out on his face. He quickly stepped forward to greet them and even personally led them to the main gate of the prefectural mansion.
As soon as I walked out of the mansion, what caught my eye were two strong and handsome horses that were firmly restrained by the groom and standing obediently in place.
There were two heavy packages hanging on the back of each horse. Judging from their appearance, the contents of the packages were most likely necessities such as spare clothes, dry food and water bags.
Zhang Quan first made a "please" gesture to Lin Chuyi and Ping'an, and then led them straight towards the two horses.
While walking down the stairs, Zhang Quan did not forget to explain in detail the origins of the two horses to Lin Chuyi and the others.
It turned out that just now, Liu Ruoyi learned that Lin Chuyi and his companions were about to leave the prefect's mansion, so she specifically asked her servants to prepare the horses in advance when she went out to receive the thank-you gift, and to pack all the food and clothing needed for the journey and send them to the outside of the mansion to wait for their orders.
Lin Chuyi was a little amused and helpless. No wonder Liu Ruoyi was so easy to talk to just now. She stopped when she was asked to. Wasn't she worried that they didn't want the horses?
Lin Chuyi used her perspective function to carefully check every item in the package. As expected, everything in the bag was necessary for travel: clothes, dry food, water bags, etc.
Presumably, Liu Ruoyi did not expect that they would refuse the five thousand taels of silver notes and a box of precious pearls that the old lady had carefully prepared, so there was no gold or silver jewelry in the bag.
Lin Chuyi was quite satisfied with the result. You know, the price of the horses was indeed high, but for the huge prefectural government, it was nothing, and it could not be compared with the thank-you gift generously given by the old lady.
Even if they accepted these horses, it would not bring them any burden. Moreover, at this moment they were in urgent need of a formal means of transportation so that they could return to Lanzhou smoothly.
After thinking it over this way, Liu Ruoyi's arrangement really helped them a lot and saved them a lot of trouble.
After some consideration, Lin Chuyi decided to accept this parting gift. She asked Zhang Quan to convey her gratitude to the governor's wife, and then she and Ping An each selected a good horse of their choice, and skillfully climbed onto the horse's back and sat firmly on it.
When the groom saw that they were seated firmly, he handed the reins and whip to them, then made way. Lin Chuyi and the other man held the reins tightly, waved the whips, and rode towards the city gate.
Having wasted so much time in Liuzhou City, they would miss returning home for the New Year if they didn't hurry up to complete the rest of their planned tasks. So the two of them did not delay any longer and headed straight for Lanzhou after leaving the city gate of Liuzhou City.
Although Lin Chu was not in Lanzhou City, she had been in contact with Qian Lai and was very familiar with the development trends of various brands.
In addition to Lulutong, a number of brands such as Qilixiang, Jiangxinfang, Yipinguo, Wanjuanshu, Piaomiaoge, and Yiyaotang have also begun to gradually enter other state capitals.
It’s just that each brand has a different brand concept, market positioning, and choice of state capitals to enter, so their overall development speed is not as fast as Lulutong.
In terms of operations, they have begun to downplay the connections between each other so that people are not reminded of the relationship between these brands.
Nowadays, outsiders only know that Qilixiang, Jiangxinfang and Yipinguo have the same owner, but no one knows or would have thought that the owner behind the seven most profitable chain stores of different categories in Lanzhou is the same person.
The accounting time for Lin Chuyi's industries, whether it is the major factories or the branches and stores, is fixed in May and November every year.
The accounts reviewed in May are from November last year to April this year, and the accounts reviewed in November are from May to October this year.
This way of accounting will not affect the normal operation of the store business, but will also leave each store with enough time for accounting and submission, and it is not easy to make mistakes.
After the store managers have completed the accounting and verified that they are correct, they will hand over the verified money and account books to the general managers of their respective brands, that is, Lin Miao, Lin Wu and other Lin Chuyi's confidants.
After Lin Miao and his colleagues receive the money and account books, they will conduct a third check to confirm that there are no errors or omissions. They will then commend and reward those store managers who have outstanding overall performance among those who come to submit their accounts.
Suggestions for improvement will be made to those who are at the bottom of the overall scores, and a note will be made for them. If they are at the bottom of the performance assessment for three consecutive times, their qualifications as store managers will be revoked.
After the reward and punishment process is completed, each store manager can set off to return to the store they manage to continue their management work. Afterwards, Lin Wu and his colleagues will summarize the contents of the account books they received and draw up a general ledger. They will make two copies, one for filing and one for Qian Laiye, who will pass it to Lin Chuyi for review.
The process is the same at Qian Laiye's side. According to the time, the auditing work of various brands should have been completed by now.
Lin Chuyi was not worried about Lin Wu and the others. What she was worried about was Qian Laiye. Qian Laiye was in charge of too many and too diverse industries. With the external development of the industries, his workload would only increase day by day. Lin Chuyi was always worried that if this continued, Qian Laiye would not be able to handle it.
