Shen Cong owned many properties, so naturally, he couldn't manage every matter personally.
Often, he only checked the ledgers once a month or once a quarter to inquire about the income.
If the profits were growing, he would not interfere further, but if there were losses or if profit margins were falling, he would investigate the reasons.
The shopkeeper was currently replying to Shen Cong, "Viscount, our inn has been rented out completely by the Persians, and lately, we've lost many customers who have all gone to Lucky Inn. I fear that if this continues for long, our Eastern Visitor Inn will be overshadowed by Lucky Inn!"
Leisurely flipping through the ledger, Shen Cong asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"
"We could also lower the prices of our accommodations like they do and offer carriages. It's not too difficult, and our inn's decor and quality are much better than Lucky Inn's. I believe that if we do this, they won't be able to keep up soon!"
