I was taken aback when I saw the accounts. The few bookshelves were filled with account books. “Does every woman in your family manage these?” I asked.
Zachary chuckled and replied, “Not quite. Only the head missus oversees these. They are public records that belong to the entire family, with some pertaining to our small family. I’ll gradually explain our small family’s businesses to you as you become more familiar with everything.”
Serenity said, “I thought you were in charge of all the profitable ventures…”
“I oversee the larger businesses, while you handle the smaller ones,” he clarified.
Serenity was left speechless. “There are so many account books, yet you refer to them as small businesses?”
“They are small in comparison to what York Corporation manages. If the shops are self-operated, they might only earn a few hundred thousand dollars a year, at most reaching over a million. Those that aren’t self-operated are rented out, bringing in monthly rents of about $8,000 to $10,000, totaling roughly $100,000 annually.”
“Chain stores earn a bit more, but they pale in comparison to York Corporation. These small businesses are yours to manage. The income will primarily cover internal expenses, so consider it your allowance as my wife.”
The notion of an allowance was surprising.
While the earnings from each store may not seem significant to Zachary, the York family owned numerous stores. As Serenity pointed out, the many account books on the few large shelves indicated substantial amounts of money.
The rent collected each month alone represented a sum that many ordinary people could not hope to earn in a lifetime.
