Chapter 104: The Glass Shards Incident! Tao Xue Looking for a Job!

"You should be paying anyway. Who told you to be the boss?" Dai Jiaying teased. "Even if the boss pays, it's just moving money from the left hand to the right... If it were free, it's us workers who would be losing out."

Su Yang said in surprise, "You're a worker?"

Dai Jiaying argued, "How am I not a worker?"

Su Yang placated her, "Alright, alright, you're a worker!"

Dai Jiaying took another piece of beef jerky from the snack bag, popped it into her mouth, and mumbled:

"But since the beef jerky produced by the boss's company is so delicious, I'll suggest to President Yu that she gives you a discount."

Su Yang complained, "Do I really need you to suggest it to President Yu? Can't I suggest it myself?"

Dai Jiaying couldn't help but laugh!

Su Yang still placed great importance on Dai Jiaying's promotion.

Dai Jiaying still had the most followers in the company.

Although Gong Zihao had potential, it hadn't yet translated into actual strength.

As a beauty blogger, most of Dai Jiaying's followers were female. This demographic has strong purchasing power, and women generally like snacks more than men.

So, paying Dai Jiaying for promotion was very cost-effective!

Su Yang found Yu Siying and talked to her about the cooperation between the company and Jiuxiang Snacks.

She had known for a long time that Su Yang had started a food company.

Spark Media had actually signed quite a few internet celebrities and influencers now.

These people were spread across major platforms like Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and Bilibili, and their follower counts were generally not large.

Having them advertise for Jiuxiang Food wouldn't actually cost much.

It was mainly to broaden the brand awareness of Jiuxiang!

Many brands nowadays also prefer mid-tier influencers.

Mostly because top-tier influencers charge too much and aren't cost-effective.

Yu Siying was also very willing to do advertising and promotion for Jiuxiang Food.

For an MCN Company, those who come to spend money on advertisements are the brand-side financial backers!

These influencers signed with Xinghuo hoped the company would promote them and also help them land advertising deals to make money.

A competent MCN Company must not only be able to incubate influencers but also bring advertising revenue to its signed talent, just like a celebrity talent agency!

Yu Siying asked curiously, "How much does Jiuxiang Food plan to invest in advertising fees?"

"Maybe a few million in the early stages!" Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible to spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions later on!"

"Ah?" Yu Siying looked at Su Yang blankly. "That much?"

Even though Yu Siying was someone who had seen the world,

she was still shocked by the advertising fees Su Yang mentioned.

"Yes!"

Su Yang nodded seriously.

For any brand, marketing expenses cannot be skimped on, especially for a new brand!

It's true that good wine needs no bush.

But to make one's own "wine fragrance" spread across the country, it would take too long.

He couldn't wait!

And looking at brands both at home and abroad, which one doesn't do advertising and marketing?

Wasn't this exactly why he founded the MCN Company in the first place?

He might not be able to keep the profits from offline advertising, as many forces had monopolized them.

But he still wanted to keep the profits from online advertising as much as possible.

Spark Media certainly couldn't handle a hundred-million-yuan advertising order right now.

But Jiuxiang Snacks couldn't produce a hundred million yuan in advertising fees right now either.

They could definitely grow together!

After chatting with Yu Siying for a while, Su Yang went to the newly opened hotpot restaurant under Jiuxiang Catering to give a speech to the employees; it had become a habit!

At the very least, he had to let the employees know who their boss was!

At the very least, he had to let the employees understand that their boss didn't just paint a pie for them.

This pie could actually be fed into their mouths.

While he was at it, he would harvest another wave of loyalty!

Arriving at the entrance, he saw the "Nine Fragrance Hotpot" sign.

Su Yang knew that Ji Guoxiong had already settled the matter of renaming the hotpot restaurant!

"Beef" hotpot was previously used to highlight a specialty, but now it was too limiting.

The headquarters had already developed more hotpot dishes.

So the "Jiuxiang Beef Hotpot" sign was no longer suitable.

Su Yang casually used Business Deduction and was soon stunned.

[First month... The hotpot restaurant makes a profit of 50,000 yuan.]

[Second month: Three men, including Yue Yuda, Wang Wei, and Zhou Xiongbing, swallow glass shards before entering the restaurant to extort 5,000 yuan from the hotpot restaurant, damaging its reputation...]

This...

Su Yang rubbed his chin; he hadn't expected such a nuisance.

He was certain that when he decided to open the shop here last time, this hadn't happened in the Business Deduction; otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have forgotten!

So, he was invisibly changing the course of the future.

Su Yang wasn't surprised by this.

After all, his Business Deduction skill only produced rough lines of text descriptions.

It wasn't a fully immersive movie-like playback!

When he knew the company's future, he would more or less change its course through his decisions; it was unavoidable.

But the general trend certainly couldn't be changed!

Because of this, Su Yang would perform a deduction on his several companies every day.

Just for fear of encountering some unexpected accident.

He tried performing a deduction on Jiuxiang Catering again and found that the Glass Shards Incident did not appear next month, so this event only affected this specific hotpot restaurant and not the entire company!

As he walked, he thought about how to solve this matter.

These three were likely habitual offenders; they might have even extorted other businesses before.

Should he just call the police when they arrived?

To be honest, he felt that solving the problem this way was a bit too wasteful!

Entering the hotpot restaurant, he saw all the employees.

Su Yang quickly set aside the thoughts in his head, and a very approachable smile appeared on his face.

He had practiced this smile repeatedly in front of a mirror.

He looked just like a kind, young big boss!

The moment they saw his smile, many female employees in the hotpot restaurant couldn't help but let out soft cries of admiration.

After Su Yang finished his speech, he left with over 100,000 yuan in cash.

Having roughly finished his work for the day, Su Yang had just gotten into his car when he received a call from Tao Xue.

"Honey, do you have time?"

"What's wrong?"

"I'm about to get off work. Can you come pick me up?" Tao Xue said softly. "There are two male coaches who seem to be interested in me. I told them I have a boyfriend, but they don't believe me... it's a bit annoying!"

"You found a job?"

Su Yang said with a slight hint of surprise.

"A small gym near my house. I'm still working as a Yoga Instructor, my old profession!" Tao Xue said with a smile. "The salary is a bit low, but I just wanted to find something to do."

"Why look for a job?"

Tao Xue said coquettishly, "I'm bored to death. Whenever I'm idle, I think of you, I miss you so much... I just wanted to find something to do to distract myself, otherwise I'd die of distress!"

Hearing this, the corners of Su Yang's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Tao Xue's sweet talk really came in waves!

Tao Xue continued over the phone, "But don't worry, honey, I only teach female students. I tell all those stinky men to get lost!"

"Send me your location. I'll head over in a bit."

"I'll be waiting for you!"

Su Yang said to the driver, Feng Ye, "Feng Ye, go to a nearby flower shop first!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Feng Ye checked the map on his phone and started the car.
