Chapter 228 Staff Meeting
Gu Shun actually proposed to look at the auction house's account books, which caught Zheng Ji off guard.
Let’s not mention whether Manager Gu can understand it. Other managers have never asked for this thing when they took over the auction house.
The accountant in charge of property left a long time ago. No one has kept the accounts in the entire auction house in recent months, and the business is in decline. They rely on the sale of items accumulated in the warehouse for many years.
The money on the entire auction house's books should have been cleaned up and divided up.
There is also a list of recommended personnel that Gu Shun wants. The new official takes three fires, and Gu Shun's first fire will burn on personnel matters. If his people are replaced, wouldn't it be a decisive loss?
Seeing that they could enjoy the peace of mind with the Gu family immediately, they would never be replaced at this time.
Gu Shun shook his head with a funny heart. He wanted to give the manager a chance, but after all, he was an old employee who had been in charge of the auction house for so long. He would manage the auction house during the business transition period. There was no problem.
Unfortunately, he lost one of the most basic potential, that is loyalty.
Loyalty and honesty are the qualities that Gu Shun values the most. No matter how outstanding your abilities or your martial arts are, if you lose these two qualities, no matter how big the Gu family is, no matter how many people you need, there will be no place for him.
Seeing Zhuangji standing there, he was reluctant to act.
The experience of accompanying Gu Shun said impatiently: "What's wrong? Manager Zhuang, the shopkeeper Gu asked you to collect the account book, why didn't you hurry up?"
The experience is specialized in the government's administration, so I can definitely understand these financial books. If I take it out now and have so many missing, I will be in charge of it.
Zhuang Ji changed his mind and was thinking about the reasons.
At this time, Zhuang Ji's apprentice saw the master's embarrassment and immediately stepped forward to rescue him and said, "Master, hasn't our accountant returned to his hometown if you have something to do? The account book was taken away by him, so we don't have the nearest account book here."
"Yes, yes, yes, look at my memory. The accountant has indeed returned to his hometown."
After a strange experience, he asked: "What are the accounts bookings for going back to his hometown? "
"He, he heard that his mother at home suddenly passed away and was in a hurry to leave, so he accidentally pretended to leave the account book while packing up his things."
"Have you never looked for such an important thing? How do you remember your monthly income and expenditure and how do you pay taxes?"
"We also want to find it, but we don't know where the accountant's house is. This countryside is so big, where can we go to find it. However, I keep all the accounts for the past few months in my mind. If I write it out, I can make it out at any time."
Gu Shun nodded sneered, "Since that's the case, it's all for you. Then thank the manager of the village to write down the accounts and write me a list of promotions with outstanding abilities and reliable character.
I will go to the pawn shop next door first, and the two families will get together for a meeting later. I have important things to announce."
Looking at Gu Shun's cold smile, as if he had seen through everything, Zhuang Ji's heart shivered, and he had the illusion that he had seen through him.
Zhuang Ji didn't notice a few drops of cold sweat oozed out of his forehead and said, "As for orders, I will make the bill immediately and get a list for Manager Gu."
After saying that, Gu Shun let the experience take him to the pawnshop next to the auction house.
The situation of pawnshops is even more serious than that of auction houses. A large amount of money is embezzled, but the pawnshop business is much better than that of auction houses. After all, ordinary residents in Jiangnan City will always come to pawn shops to pawn something if they urgently use money.
However, over the years, pawnshops have formed many bad debts, and this situation has become even worse after the Zhang family took over.
The Zhang family used the convenience to convert a large amount of junk plundered from the Zhu family into cash, almost emptied the pawnshop's reserves, so the current cash flow of pawnshops is almost exhausted.
After checking the situation of the two stores, Gu Shun already knew it.
It can be said that these two auction houses and pawn shops are genuine and precious, and perhaps selling these two pieces of land is more valuable than the current pawn shops and pawn shops.
However, Gu Shun has long been used to this situation. Isn’t it just turning decay into magic? This is his professional strength.
After coming out of the pawn shop, Gu Shun asked the experience to go back first, and went out for a walk, borrowed several accountants from his mother's business bank, and counted the assets and accounts of the two companies.
Since the auction house lied that the account book was lost, Gu Shun directly asked the account to check the value of the items contained in the warehouse, as well as all the precious metals and coins, and after depreciating all assets, Gu Shun can also have a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of the operating conditions of the two stores.
In the evening, Gu Shun invited all the employees of the auction house and the pawnshop to the second floor of the auction house.
This place is usually an auction venue, with the largest rooms and many seats, which just allows everyone in the two stores to sit and be suitable for a plenary meeting.
The auction house and pawnshop staff all calmed down from their initial ecstasy and were full of tension and expectation for the meeting that their new shopkeeper was going to hold.
After everyone sat down, Gu Shun walked in from outside. He held the data roughly counted by the accountant. The detailed asset data would take at least one week of investigation and could not be found today.
However, even this brief asset inventory data is shocking enough.
Manager Zhuang of Yuantong Auction House and Manager Qu of Junze Pawnshop both looked at Gu Shun with great anxiety, and his palms were sweating all over his palms.
At this moment, there was a table in the entire square auction hall, and Gu Shun and the two managers sat on both sides of the table. Gu Shun was one-on-two, and his aura was not weak at all, and he even faintly suppressed one of the two.
Behind the two managers are all the friends from the two stores. Except for those who are on vacation and fishing, almost everyone who can come has come.
As soon as Gu Shun sat down, everyone stood up and bowed to Gu Shun and said, "Hello, Shopkeeper Gu."
He waved his hand and signaled everyone to sit down. He said directly without any nonsense: "I believe you already know that I have bought the Yuantong Auction House and Junze Pawnshop.
From now on, the two stores have been officially merged into one, named Yuantong Paixing, collectively known as Yuantong, and the original business remains unchanged."
Upon hearing this news, the employees behind them were all smiling. They were able to integrate the power of pawn shops and auction houses and achieve strong alliances. Gu Shun did things that many people dare not do, and it was something that could only be done with real wealth and prosperity.
Manager Zhuang and Manager Qu, who were sitting opposite Gu Shun, were worried.
Once the two stores merge, it means that the management agency will also be reorganized. After the reorganization, there is only one person left in Yuantong Management.
It also means that one of them will be demoted or even kicked out of Yuantong, which is something they don’t want to see.
Gu Shun glared at the two of them and asked with a slightest question: "You two seem to have something to worry about. I wonder if the two managers agree to this arrangement."
"I support all arrangements for Manager Gu."
"I firmly agree with the arrangements of Manager Gu."
"That's good, but before the two formal mergers, there are still many problems left over from auction houses and pawn shops, especially financial issues, that have been left over from years."
As he said that, Gu Shun slapped the accounting data of the two stores sorted out from the account on the table and pushed them in front of them.
Manager Zhuang and Manager Qu both picked up their accounts and looked at them uneasy. The more they looked, the worse their faces became.
Chapter completed!
