When he said this, the gang members present almost cried out in excitement. The monthly salary that Lu Tong gave was much, much more than they had imagined.
Judging from the income of the ordinary people in Chang Le Lane, it would be good if they could earn one tael of silver a month as a waiter or an honest worker. They could barely support their family.
As for the gang members, they were even worse off. Although some of them looked impressive, the gang members at the bottom were no different from those who did odd jobs. Some of them were even worse than others.
If they followed a good boss, they could get one or two taels. If they were a little worse off, they could not even get one tael.
In the Black Tiger Gang, even those direct disciples who followed Wang Shijie only received five taels of silver every month. Now, Lu Tong was actually giving them ten taels each. This made them wonder if they were dreaming.
"But…" Lu Tong saw that they were almost excited, so he changed the topic and said,"Since you took my silver, you have to abide by my rules!”
"As the saying goes, you have to do what you do. I'm afraid you've been taking advantage of the merchants in Chang Le Lane in the past, right? Not paying after eating, pulling up your pants after sleeping with a girl, I'm afraid you guys have done this many times, right?”
Lu Tong looked around. Many of the sect members present lowered their heads, not daring to meet Lu Tong's gaze.
They had indeed done this a lot. It should be said that there were even worse things. Some people even secretly deducted some of their monthly payment.
"If you did this in the past, I, Lu Tong, wouldn't say anything. But now, do you know what this means? You're not taking advantage of those merchants, you're poaching your own people!
One tenth of the dividends from every shop in Chang Le Lane is given to us. Your monthly money is also paid from there.
This month's monthly payment is ten taels. Next month, when Chang Le Lane's business is good, you can get eleven, twelve, or even fifteen taels.
You think that you're taking advantage of the merchants, but you're actually poaching everyone and taking advantage of yourself!”
Many of the sect members also reacted. They had taken advantage of the merchants in Chang Le Lane and in the end, it affected their profits. In the end, they were the ones who suffered losses because their monthly salary was also linked to the overall profits of Chang Le Lane.
"After taking the money, you have to follow the rules. Those who break the rules, don't blame me, Lu Tong, for being ruthless!”
Lu Tong returned to the main seat and sat down. He said in a deep voice,"Old Sun, read your name."
Sun Zhangpan nodded and took out a small notebook from behind him as if he was performing a magic trick. He began to read,"Liu Qiangdong, Liu San, Chen Xiaoming, Zhang Qiang, Yang Lin…"
More than 20 names were called out in one breath, and those who were called out all turned pale.
"Twenty strokes each in front of everyone. There's another person. I want everyone to deal with this person. This person wants to destroy everyone's common interests and sell information to others.”Lu Tong said.
Sun Zhangpan waved his hand, and the other confidants immediately brought their sticks over. Under Sun Zhangpan's command, they pressed Yang Lin out.
Lu Tong narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Lin." It's this person who told them our information and tried to destroy everyone's interests." Do you know that the monthly payment I gave everyone just now is actually the dividends from the merchants, and there is another income from the garment workshop. That is everyone's business. As long as you can do your best to maintain the garment workshop, you will receive at least ten taels of silver from the garment workshop every month. And there would only be more in the future. But now, someone was trying to destroy this. How should they punish him?”
Hearing Lu Tong's words, everyone was filled with righteous indignation and shouted,"Kill him!" Kill him!"
Yang Lin was so frightened that his knees went soft and he knelt on the ground with a thud. He begged," Boss Lu, please let me go. I know I was wrong. I won't do it again."”
Lu Tong smiled and muttered,"If that's the case, then I'll let you live." I'm a merciful person. It's too cruel to kill you. Then I'll break your legs. Does everyone think this punishment is fair?”
"Fair!"
"Boss Lu! Boss Lu!"
"Very good. I know that everyone is not stupid, but don't think of yourself as a smart person and show off your little cleverness in front of me!”
……
A group of people shouted loudly, and Yang Lin's heart-wrenching wails of pain came from outside the door.
For some reason, when Sun Zhangpan and the others heard Lu Tong's indifferent words, they felt a chill in their hearts.
After punishing Yang Lin, no matter how good their relationship was in the past, Boss Lu had seen it with his own eyes. They did not dare to go easy on him. Every time they hit him, they would hit him hard.
After twenty hits, the twenty over people could barely get up, their legs trembling.
"I'll let you remember what rules are with these twenty strokes today!" Lu Tong knocked on the table and said. Now I ask you, are you convinced? If you're not satisfied, you can take your monthly salary and leave now. I, Lu Tong, won't stop you.”
The 20 or so gang members who were beaten up shook their heads. With a monthly salary of 10 taels, whoever wanted to leave would be a fool!
"Alright, now come up one by one to get your monthly payment. The twenty brothers who were beaten up will each get an extra two taels as medicine.”
As soon as Lu Tong said this, the last bit of resentment in the hearts of the twenty over gang members who had been beaten up dissipated.
Not only did he not have any resentment, but he was also very touched. Rewards and punishments were fair. This was a good boss.
Lu Tong saw everyone's expressions. Wealth won people's hearts. These people could finally be used by him now. If someone came to destroy their lives now, they would probably fight with their lives.
Fresh flowers!
