After seeing "Red Boots" Franka off, Lumian returned to the café with Louis and Sakota, and took the seat where Baron Brinel usually sat.
René, the manager of the Breeze Ballroom, was waiting there.
He is in his forties, with a thin face. I don't know if it's because of overwork, or because he was born this way. His light yellow hairline has receded like a Loenian.
This one is led by Gardner, the leader of the Savoyard Party. The manager directly assigned by Martin, but he still respects Lumian quite a bit, and he smiled flatteringly and said: Mr. Charles, would you like to know about the situation of the ballroom?
"Okay!" Lu Anmi reached out and took the stack of reports that Rene handed over, and carefully looked through it. Standing behind him, Luis and Sakota once again had the feeling that they didn't know the leader. He was a young boy from the countryside who could understand such complicated financial statements. The two of them would only feel dizzy , want to sleep; this is able to play and educated? Louis looked away from the stack of reports with "supernatural effects".
René took the opportunity to make an introduction to help the new boss to better understand the operation of the Breeze Ballroom, "On non-weekends, our daily income is between 1200 and 1800 Filkin, and on weekends, this figure can reach up to 5000 Felkin, normally 4000..."
Last year's total income was 645,425 Felkin and 37 Cope. Judging from the current trend this year, there is a certain increase, but not too much. This requires 12 thugs, 4 bartenders, 6 waiters, 3 Chefs, 6 helpers, 3 handymen, 3 dishwashing women, 4 cleaners, 1 head waiter, 3 financial staff, 3 wine and food purchasers, and 1 driver.
Their average annual salary is 100 filkin, and we also provide free lunch and dinner, which totals 5300 filkin.
"As a manager, my annual salary plus bonus at the end of the year is about 7,000 Filkin."
According to our agreement with "Red Boots", we will provide each dancer with a basic salary of 1 Filkin per day. After they reach a deal with a customer, we will draw 3%. The deal is usually in the room on the second floor above the ballroom. If you want to go out, you need to pay the fee in advance to the thugs at the door or the head waiter...
Wine, champagne, beer, brandy, rum, absinthe and other alcoholic beverages and soft drinks of different flavors, ice cubes, and various ingredients cost about 120,000 Filkin per year. We bought this house, no We need to pay extra rent, plus the cost of raising horses, site maintenance, gas, water, singers and bands, and other expenses. Our annual cost is about 230,000 Filkin.
"Of the remaining 410,000 Filkins, the boss took away 200,000 Filkins. It is also necessary to have a good relationship with the officers of the Police Headquarters. Mr. Xia, you have about 110,000 Filkins at your disposal. This includes your personal expenses, replenishment of guns and ammunition, rewards for your subordinates, compensation for the victims and the injured..."
"It's a pity that none of these people in the market area earn too much, otherwise we would have made more money on alcoholic beverages..."
Of course, Lumian also has to give rewards to his subordinates from time to time, and reserve a pension and ammunition expenses for possible conflicts, but he doesn't need to live too well, he doesn't need to hire servants, and he doesn't need to hold banquets. Rounding off, he is roughly equivalent to a minister. The only problem is that the ministers do not only have apparent income.
The annual salary of a coolie is about 700 Filkin, a maid living in the employer's house is about 480 Filkin, and a construction worker's annual salary is only 1,000 Filkin. Then, those skilled workers only earn 2,500 Filkin a year, and the salary of a senior engineer The income is between 10,000 and 20,000 Filkin per year.
Sure enough, the shortcuts to making money are all written in the code...
No wonder Brinel is reluctant to part with this ballroom... Lumian remembered what his sister said, as long as he saves some money, and takes good care of his subordinates and prevents them from rushing forward, the money left over each year is enough to buy Sequence 6 potions Recipe to the corresponding material.
After René finished speaking, Lumian nodded and asked, "Why give the dancers a basic salary? He's not reluctant, but just curious." "Our Savoyard dancers are all under the control of Red Boots. She requires us to pay the basic salary, and can't Forcing those dancers to pick up jobs, they earn as little as they want, and starve to death if they want to die."
René explained: "In addition to the dancers under Red Boots, there are also girls who are controlled by people in the loan business. These were previously managed by Baron Brinel, and there was no conflict. How should we coordinate now?"
One thought after another flashed through Lumian's mind, and finally he felt that "Red Boots" Franka and her sister Aurora were a bit similar in some respects. Is this because they belonged to the same hidden organization? But if it was Aurora, she would definitely not handle it like this. She would organize those dancers to rebel, and she would try to establish an underground school to teach them knowledge and find a new way out for them... If it were me, what would I do...
After pondering for a moment, Lumian raised his head and said to René, Louis and the others: "Let's do this for now, don't make any changes." "René, during this time, help me deal with the police officers. position, and then have a good chat with them.”
Charlie just ate a baguette with ale, when he saw Charles appearing at the door, he happily asked, "Where have you been these two days? You didn't go to the bar to drink."
Lumian didn't answer and asked instead: "There is a job opportunity, do you want to consider it?"
Lumian smiled and said: "How about going to the Breeze Ballroom to be a waiter? You don't need to join the Savoy Party, you should have 70 Filkins a month, and the tips are yours, but you should also know that these people in the market area will not give Tip, unless you turn into a woman and want to sleep with them."
"Well, there are also some female guests who will ask the waiter to do that kind of thing. You have experience in this area, so I don't need to say more."
"Breeze Ballroom?" Charlie opened his eyes wide. "Have you gained the trust of Baron Brinel?" You can arrange someone to be a waiter in the Breeze Ballroom, and you don't need to join the Savoy Party?
Lumian smiled, "I don't need Baron Brinel's consent, the Breeze Ballroom is mine now."
"Huh?" Charlie doubted his hearing.
Lumian smiled and explained: "I killed Hammer Aite, and the boss of the Savoy Party handed over the Breeze Ballroom to me."
"Well, Charlie suddenly realized it, and then blurted out in shock, you killed Hammer Aite too?" Lumian nodded: "Don't tell others about this, I'm afraid the police will cause trouble."
Charlie was speechless for a moment, and after a few seconds he murmured, "Should those Stingers go to a nearby church to pray and see if they can change their luck? Since you came to the market area, their leader Just dying one by one, I can't even imagine how they feel now."
"Good idea" Lumian praised.
If the leader of the Stinger Gang really dared to pray at the church of "Eternal Sun" or "God of Steam and Machinery", then the gang would cease to exist, of course, Louis. Before Lund visited again, Lumian didn't want them to do such a stupid thing.
Charlie thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'm going to the Breeze Ballroom in the afternoon, who should I talk to?" Haha, I rarely go to the ballroom because I don't have money, so now I can go all day.
"Ask for the manager, René, and tell me that you are a tenant of the "Golden Rooster Hotel"." Lumian simply replied, and turned his gaze to the side, where there were two cleaning ladies cleaning, one of whom looked fifty-five at first glance. She is in her early years, but if you look closely, you will think that she is only in her forties. She originally had flaxen hair, but she wore a bright golden wig, eye shadow and powder, which covered her fine wrinkles, but Nothing could change her haggardness.
"This is?" Lumian asked Charlie.
Charlie tutted and explained: You don't know yet? Our miserly landlady has changed his personality, and instead of just having it cleaned once a week, he chooses to hire two cleaning ladies who work all morning. "Tell me, tell me, isn't this a great miracle? It's only a little bit worse than my transshipment!"
Lumian, who had just read the financial statements of the Breeze Ballroom, flashed a cleaning lady's salary of 70 to 80 Filkin per month in his mind.
But it was busy from morning to night. Those who only worked for half a day were at most 45 Filkin, and two cleaning ladies who only worked for half a day would not exceed 100 Filkin a month. 18 Filkins a time, and Mr. Eve promised me to increase it to twice a week, that is to say, 150 Filkins a month. How is this not stingy? It's a bargain! "Lumian sneered, he doubted that if it wasn't for one cleaning lady who would not be able to clean up the entire hotel in half a day, no one would take such a job, and Mr. Eve would definitely not hire two.
"Really?" Charlie scratched his hair, his calculation ability couldn't keep up with Lumian's words at all.
When the two cleaning ladies turned into the room with no tenants and patted the bedbugs there, Lumian pointed in that direction with his chin: Why is there a person wearing a wig and eye shadow? What kind of cleaning lady looks like this?
Charlie pressed his voice and said: "I asked, her name is Elodie, and she said that she used to be a theater actress, and she used to dress herself like this, and she still does that now."
No one knows if what she said is true. When I was a waiter at the White Swan Hotel, I heard from the kitchen helpers that many prostitutes were old and disliked, so they could only work as dishwashing girls and cleaning girls.
Lumian recalled Elodie's appearance, and felt that she should have been pretty good when she was young. As for whether she used to be a theater actress or a street girl, it had nothing to do with her status as a cleaning lady. Saying goodbye to Charlie, Lumian went to the restaurant on the first floor to eat something casually, and then took a public carriage to the Boulevard area. He was going to tell Mr. K that your mission was completed!
