A young man from another world returned to his hometown.

Chapter 81 Ruthless Iron Hand, Chapter 9, Construction Accountant Tilanqiao

Lin Yan looked at the teacher in front of him, sighed, and nodded resignedly.

"Okay...okay, if I go back in the future."

"make a deal!"

The moment he uttered the word "deal," Mu Jiuzhang radiated excitement, completely unlike any teacher Lin Yan had ever known.

Mu Jiuzhang couldn't help but smile as he rubbed his hands together.

"Brother-in-law... no, Lin Yan, let's start working today."

"what?"

Lin Yan looked completely bewildered.

"today?"

"right."

Mu Jiuzhang had already taken out her phone and started typing, her speaking speed getting faster and faster.

"I took a look back and the situation in your village is like a makeshift operation. It doesn't even have the most basic equity structure. I have to redo the entire financial system of Tian Village for you and create a real conglomerate."

"...Teacher, isn't this in a bit of a rush?"

Lin Yan pleaded.

"I need this done quickly so I can go to my parents' house sooner."

"..."

Lin Yan suddenly had a bad feeling. He had turned back into the Mu Jiuzhang she knew. Once he got serious, he was the kind of person who would drive everyone like donkeys to a millstone.

I feel like my retirement life is over.

……

Mu Jiuzhang walked into the office building with a blank expression, startling Lin Jiayao.

"Ms. Mu...Ms. Mu, have you had breakfast? You're here so early..."

"Produce your bill."

"……what?"

"Bring out all the accounts, from the very first day."

Lin Jiayao was completely numb.

"Teacher Mu, these things are a mess..."

"If it's chaotic, get started quickly."

Mu Jiuzhang slammed his hand on the table.

"Lin Jiayao, I have a question for you. What is the registered capital of your current company?"

"Fifty million."

"Business scope, main entity?"

"Ah... two."

Mu Jiuzhang held his forehead.

"Lin Jiayao, what did you do before?"

"audit……"

"You actually registered an industry with an investment of several hundred million yuan as a directly controlled company, and crammed all the business into two separate entities?"

Lin Jiayao's face began to burn.

"I... I just thought I'd get it running first..."

"Don't say it now."

Mu Jiuzhang turned on his computer and pulled up an organizational chart.

"Listen carefully, from today onwards, this is called the Tamura Group."

……

Lin Jiayao stared at the organizational chart on the screen, completely stunned. The screen was densely packed with various shareholding structures.

"Chairman: Lin Yan; CEO: Lin Jiayao; CFO & Strategy Director: Mu Jiuzhang. Below are the Financial Shared Service Center, Supply Chain & Procurement Center, and General Administration & Human Resources Center."

Below that are the four major business divisions… Economics and Trade Division, Modern Agriculture and Processing Division, Education and Logistics Division, Special Engineering Support Division…”

Lin Jiayao was stunned when he read the last one.

"Special Engineering Support Department? Teacher Mu, what's that?"

Mu Jiuzhang remained unfazed.

"You don't need to worry about the security department."

This was a spot she had secretly reserved for Xier. In the future, if there were any special business involving another world, they would all go through this hidden department and not be reported. Lin Jiayao nodded without thinking much about it and swallowed.

"Mr. Mu... Mr. Mu, can our Tamura team support this architecture diagram?"

"We have to hold on even if we can't. If it really comes down to it, we'll go to the Tilanqiao Accounting Center to get supplies."

Mu Jiuzhang pushed up his glasses.

"Lin Jiayao, tell me, how much money does Tiancun have right now?"

"...I don't know exactly how much Lin Yan has. I've only seen the numbers on one card."

"..."

Mu Jiuzhang remained silent.

"You don't even know your company's cash flow?"

"Lin Yan can call me anytime and ask me to transfer money, and I will transfer the money..."

"Bang."

Mu Jiuzhang slammed his hand on the table.

"This is the financial black box I was talking about! Lin Jiayao, how did you do your audits before? You didn't even have basic cash ledgers?"

Lin Jiayao lowered his head, his face flushed red.

"I've always done audits for large companies before, this is my first time taking on a family business, especially one run by my younger brother..."

"Even calling him your own brother isn't allowed!"

Mu Jiuzhang was furious.

"Even your own father won't do! Finance is about rules, not personal relationships!"

"..."

Lin Jiayao felt like he was back in college, and he mustered up the courage to voice his opposition.

"Teacher Mu, I have an idea..."

"explain."

"We're in the countryside after all. Isn't your approach a bit too... too formal? It might not be suitable for our actual situation."

Lin Jiayao revised his wording.

"Look, most of the workers in our Tiancun village are uncles and relatives from the village, and they don't have a high level of education. If we make the process so complicated... For example, if a migrant worker from the village is a foreman on the construction site and wants to pick up a few bags of cement from the warehouse to work on the site, according to your process, he has to first submit a bill of lading with a project receipt, and then go through the system for approval..."

"right."

"Teacher Mu...they don't know how to use smartphones...so I think we should retain some flexibility. After all, rural areas are a society based on personal relationships. If we're too rigid, things won't work."

The more he talked, the more convinced he became of his point.

"Many things can be done with just a phone call, a few words, and a few cigarettes. It's much more efficient than going through formalities. You're from a big city, so you might not understand..."

"Lin Jiayao".

Mu Jiuzhang interrupted him.

"what?"

"I am very moved by your founder's idea, and I appreciate and support it, which is to distribute profits to every worker. However, in a market economy, irregular processes are absolutely unacceptable. You never know where corruption might occur."

Lin Jiayao's smile froze.

"You say that ordinary migrant workers don't know how to use smartphones, but what if someone is related to the cement seller, and the cement costs 80 yuan but he quotes 120 yuan? Can you find out? What if someone takes a few extra bags of cement from the warehouse and uses them at home?"

"..."

"You say that rural areas are a society based on personal relationships, and that it's too rigid to function properly. If we wait until Lin Yan has burned through all his money and the industry hasn't yet developed its own revenue streams or secured a place in the market, then this makeshift organization without any system will be the first to collapse, and you Lin family relatives will be among the first to suffer."

Mu Jiuzhang thought to himself, even if your lychees are magical products, no matter how delicious they are, it's useless. The market can't survive just by being good and cheap.

Lin Jiayao was speechless for a moment. He had worked as an auditor for so many years and had seen so many companies go bankrupt. How could he not know that Mu Jiuzhang was right? But he couldn't bring himself to do it because these were all his relatives and fellow villagers.

Mu Jiuzhang, however, did not have these emotional burdens.

"Then... what about elderly people who don't know how to use smartphones?"

"Hire young people."

Mu Jiuzhang was decisive and efficient.
