Chapter 119: A Real Man Must Be Ruthless to Himself!

In the beginning, Jiang Yan could still maintain her queenly demeanor and decent combat effectiveness.

However, she only lasted for a mere half an hour!

Su Yang only let her go once Jiang Yan surrendered.

He didn't want to push her too hard; after all, Jiang Yan was also making money for him.

But it had to be said, twin tails were really quite nice!

Soon, November came to an end.

For Taiwanese novels, come to the super reliable site.

Entering December, Jiang Yan's momentum remained very strong.

With just three videos, her follower count directly surpassed seven hundred thousand.

All the employees of Spark Media began to admire Su Yang's keen eye.

Anyone could see that Jiang Yan's follower count reaching a million was just around the corner!

Spark Media was about to welcome its second signed influencer with over a million followers!

If considering those personally cultivated by the company, Jiang Yan would be the first!

Dai Jiaying's followers had surpassed a million long ago, but she wasn't considered part of the company's core lineage.

The contract she signed with the company was also relatively loose, with a higher commission share!

As for the rumors about Jiang Yan having a fling with the boss, they gradually dissipated.

This was because the boss hardly had any contact with Jiang Yan at the company.

Moreover, they all admitted that the boss's eye was correct; he likely saw Jiang Yan's potential!

Of course, they didn't know that their boss usually went directly to Jiang Yan's apartment.

Every time she released a cosplay video, he would definitely go to provide 'guidance'!

Su Yang then instructed Yu Siying to continue recruiting employees.

After all, Xinghuo now had over fourteen influencers with the potential for a million followers.

Plus the influencers and talents Yu Siying had scouted herself.

Under Su Yang's request, Yu Siying was still very strict about signing people.

But the number of influencers signed by the company had also surpassed seventy!

However, most of the influencers Yu Siying signed weren't considered company employees.

Because they didn't receive a fixed salary from the company; most were part-timers!

To avoid wasting the good talents he personally signed, and to provide services for the part-time influencers signed with the company, Su Yang felt there was absolutely no problem in hiring more employees!

And given Yu Siying's recruitment speed, it likely wouldn't be very fast anyway.

Over at Jiuxiang Food, Tan Yanghong had reached agreements with another snack chain and a supermarket, clearing out most of the snack inventory.

Combined with the gradually heating up online sales performance, Su Yang found that after deducting the 500,000 advertising fee given to Spark Media, and including the payments not yet returned by the supermarkets, Jiuxiang Food Company didn't lose much in November.

As for the 500,000 advertising fee, Su Yang felt it was quite worth it.

Without advertising, promotion, or paying e-commerce platforms, it was very difficult to get online sales going.

After all, competition among online shops nowadays was also very fierce!

The overall profit for beef snacks was quite good, with retail gross profit margins reaching about 30% to 40%.

When distributors took goods from their food company, they definitely had to give a discount.

But the food company still made a profit!

In the following days, Su Yang's life was generally quite pleasant, and his work was very regular.

In his personal life, he mainly spent time with Tao Xue and Chen Li.

Occasionally, he looked after Qin Shuang when she came over to visit, and then went to 'guide' Jiang Yan.

Soon, it was the seventh, the day Su Yang looked forward to most every month!

[Ding~ You have received 1.87 million in salary and welfare rebates for Spark Fitness employees for November.]

[Ding~ You have received 3.85 million in salary and welfare rebates for Jiuxiang Catering employees for November.]

[Ding~ You have received 1.19 million in salary and welfare rebates for Spark Media employees for November.]

[Ding~ You have received 740,000 in salary and welfare rebates for Jiuxiang Food for November.]

[Ding~ Loyalty of employees Huang Xiao, Gan Rong, Jian Deming, and others from Spark Fitness, Spark Media, Jiuxiang Catering, and Jiuxiang Food has increased to 90. You receive 430,000 in cash rewards, 1 agility point, and 1 strength point.]

Seeing the 8.08 million cash increase in his bank card.

Su Yang couldn't help but pump his fist hard.

It broke eight million!

Was ten million still far off?

The one with the fastest total salary growth this month was still Jiuxiang Catering!

In addition to adding four new hot pot restaurants, he also gave profit bonuses to the employees of several hot pot restaurants!

There were also the hot pot restaurant employees still in training, which accounted for another seventy-plus people.

Jiuxiang Catering was not only opening stores like crazy but also recruiting people like crazy!

Assigning more staff to each hot pot restaurant and giving employees profit bonuses indeed lowered Jiuxiang Catering's profits, but the money returned to him was even more.

Then there was Jiuxiang Food, which saw an overall increase of over 500,000 in salaries.

This was mainly because he had expanded recruitment.

Other than that, Spark Media had also hired many people, and Spark Fitness had acquired two more gyms!

Looking at the 8.76 million in his bank card, Su Yang felt very satisfied.

A few months ago, he was just a corporate slave with 40,000 in savings, without even the thought of buying a house in Rongcheng.

But now, wouldn't it be easy to buy a house with 8.76 million?

Buy a house?

Buy my foot!

He definitely had to continue investing in business!

Without thinking much, Su Yang first transferred three million to Spark Media's company account.

Last month he had transferred two million to Spark Media, and those two million hadn't been completely spent, as Spark Media was constantly taking on new business.

But because of the full support for Jiang Yan and not cutting off resources for other influencers, the financial pressure was still quite high.

Moreover, this was something Su Yang had promised Yu Siying!

To have Yu Siying constantly recruit people, one had to be willing to invest.

Su Yang then transferred two million to Jiuxiang Catering to support its continued expansion.

With the remaining three million plus, Su Yang unexpectedly didn't know how to spend it for a moment.

He considered the situations of Spark Fitness and Jiuxiang Food, and ultimately decided to develop Jiuxiang Food first.

Jiuxiang Food still had over a million in its company account, but it was more convenient for expansion!

Should he make some other snacks to enrich the snack categories?

Su Yang didn't make a decision immediately; he decided to consult Tan Yanghong's opinion first.

Holding onto three million plus as emergency funds wasn't bad either!

Gong Zihao was delighted to receive his salary this month.

Last month his performance was very good; his followers grew to over six hundred thousand, and he received a salary of over fifty thousand.

Although the company was now mainly promoting Jiang Yan, they hadn't forgotten about them!

This included not only the commission from live streaming but also a portion from advertising promotion business.

Spark Media's commission take was relatively high, higher than ordinary guilds; otherwise, he could have received even more!

But Gong Zihao didn't care at all!

If it weren't for the company and the boss, he would probably still be squatting at a construction site guarding materials.

Earning a monthly salary of two thousand, without even social security!

But now, he could get over fifty thousand in a month.

Besides, the company had also spent a lot of money to help promote him!

Without much hesitation, the first thing Gong Zihao did upon receiving his salary was to send three thousand yuan to his mother.

He had sent more last month.

But his mother told him not to send too much and to save money for himself to buy a house and get a wife!

Gong Zihao had told his mother about the boss, and his mother told him to listen to the boss.

Don't spend money recklessly!

Thinking of the boss's words, his mother's instructions, and what Teacher Li and Brother Duan had said, he hardened his heart and bought a 40,000 yuan three-year fixed-term deposit on the bank app.

A real man must be ruthless to himself!

Although he felt a bit of a sting, seeing the remaining ten thousand yuan, he finally felt much better!

Ten thousand yuan was enough for him to spend!

Just after Gong Zihao finished saving the money, he saw a message in the wechat group.

It seemed to be @ing him!

Cheng Feng: "@Gong Zihao: Has your company paid salaries yet?"

Gong Zihao replied: "Paid!"

This group was full of people doing live streaming, and the members were all streamers from nearby MCN companies.

A female streamer in the company had added him to it.

However, Gong Zihao didn't like this group very much.
