Chapter 135: Su Yang's Personal Charisma! Buying Fengyuan!

Having spent the shortest time by Su Yang's side, Jiang Yuzhen felt the aura of President Su most profoundly.

In Jiang Yuzhen's view, President Su was exactly like the leader-type figures described in books who possessed innate personal charisma.

He was always polite and courteous in his dealings with others.

Whether he was facing ordinary company staff or the cleaning ladies.

In President Su, she saw almost none of the high-and-mighty airs typical of bosses or rich second-generation heirs; instead, he was sometimes very down-to-earth.

When he smiled, it always made people feel a sense of closeness, like a breath of fresh spring air.

He spoke at a steady, unhurried pace, carrying a sense of stability, gentleness, and a power full of care.

It was very easy for him to gain the trust of others!

Whether it was the general manager or the vice president.

Whether it was department managers, minor leaders, or ordinary employees, they all were willing to believe in President Su.

They believed in President Su's promises.

They believed that the better the company developed, the more benefits they would receive.

Because they believed the boss would not mistreat them!

Even at Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurant, those ordinary servers with lower education levels were willing to believe in President Su!

Jiang Yuzhen even felt that those ordinary employees at the hotpot restaurants... seemed to trust President Su even more than the employees at the headquarters!

Ji Guoxiong was indeed conscientious and had contributed a lot to the company's development.

But Jiang Yuzhen believed that as long as Su Yang wanted to replace this general manager, the other employees would absolutely not oppose him!

Besides Nine Fragrance Hotpot, the employees of Spark Media also seemed to be aligning with the employees of Jiuxiang Catering, showing considerable support for President Su!

Whenever Su Yang arrived at Spark Media, the eyes of those people would follow his every move!

As for Spark Fitness, the employees there were a bit more normal, but they similarly trusted Su Yang.

The only remaining one was perhaps Jiuxiang Food, which was a bit more disorganized, and its cohesion wasn't as high!

However, Jiuxiang Food was President Su's new company after all, so it was normal for its cohesion to be a bit lower.

But in Jiang Yuzhen's eyes, this was a terrifyingly powerful ability.

He seemed able to unite people's hearts; those people all wanted him to succeed and were willing to push him forward!

She admitted that to win people over, President Su was truly willing to spend a lot of money.

But President Su didn't just know how to throw money around!

After seeing the working atmosphere and cohesion of Jiuxiang Catering, Jiang Yuzhen felt that her previous company was just trash.

That it could last until now without going bankrupt was simply a miracle!

After Jiang Yuzhen's reminder, when Ji Guoxiong looked at Su Yang again, a flash of realization crossed his eyes.

What Jiang Yuzhen felt, he naturally felt as well.

However, because he had been with the boss for a relatively long time and saw him almost every day.

He would subconsciously overlook the boss's special traits!

People with personal charisma were usually a minority among great figures...

But none of them were as young as their own boss!

“Fine!” Ji Guoxiong said helplessly, “I suppose the boss is just stronger at negotiating!”

Some people confess to a woman they like and are immediately rejected.

Others might just beckon to that woman, and she'd be willing to go to a hotel with them!

Ji Guoxiong's current feeling was probably like that... the feeling of the former.

Business is business, but it's also about negotiating business with people!

“Mr. Ji, don't take it to heart!” Su Yang consoled him with a smile. “If you had spent more time slowly talking with him, you probably could have convinced him too!”

“Mhm!”

Hearing Su Yang's consolation, Ji Guoxiong's mood improved significantly!

What Su Yang said was also the truth.

Liao Mingjun had only yielded after clearly sensing Su Yang's strength!

Furthermore, the competitive environment Fengyuan was in also made him feel powerless.

Of course, the Affinity Su Yang possessed, along with Liao Mingjun's recognition of Su Yang's ability, definitely played a role!

As for the 'approachable aura' Jiang Yuzhen mentioned.

Su Yang estimated it was the combined effect of his Affinity talent and high Charm value.

His current physical attributes were roughly:

14 spirit, 31 constitution, 24 Strength, 21 agility, 20 Charm.

spirit had only increased by one point with Chen Li's help; the rest he had improved slowly on his own!

His Charm was twice that of an average person, but the effect of a doubled Charm value shouldn't be that massive.

It was far from reaching the level of 'beguiling all living beings' found in myths and legends.

It probably wasn't even as good as a succubus from a Western fantasy novel.

Twice the Charm of an ordinary person only made his temperament better and more attractive.

In reality, there should be people like this, they were just relatively rare!

However, supplemented by his status and wealth, the attraction effect on the opposite sex might be amplified!

But when communicating with the same sex, the Affinity talent was more useful.

When Liao Mingjun returned to Fengyuan, he told He Chengyuan about Jiuxiang Catering's desire to acquire Fengyuan.

He Chengyuan was a subordinate of his father's and had been working with his father for a long time.

He was currently mainly in charge of the food processing plant!

He Chengyuan was also a supporter of Liao Mingjun within the company.

He Chengyuan asked tentatively, “Boss, what are your thoughts?”

“I want to sell the company!” Liao Mingjun sighed. “President Su is right; perhaps only in his hands can Fengyuan have better development.”

He Chengyuan said in a low voice, “But that's your father's life's work!”

“President Su promised me that he would acquire the company at a premium, won't change the company name, and won't easily lay off employees. I can also continue to serve as the company's vice president!” Liao Mingjun said in a low voice. “You know our company's profits; I'm afraid I'll go bankrupt one day... What's left in my family, doesn't Uncle He already know?”

He Chengyuan sighed helplessly, “Do you really believe what he says?”

“I do! He's a management genius; none of his twenty-plus hotpot restaurants are losing money. He's also very honest; Jiuxiang Catering has never defaulted on our payments!” Liao Mingjun said very seriously. “I've been in contact with their company's hotpot restaurants; President Su is also very good to his employees. He shouldn't mistreat everyone.”

Looking at Liao Mingjun's somewhat haggard face, He Chengyuan also felt that his boss was indeed under a lot of pressure.

Since Liao Mingjun took over Fengyuan, he truly hadn't had much of a good life.

As for Liao Mingjun's family assets, only one house remained!

He thought for a moment and sighed, “Alright then!”

The next day, Liao Mingjun came to Jiuxiang Catering and told Su Yang his decision!

Hearing Liao Mingjun's decision, Su Yang was in a quite good mood.

Su Yang suddenly asked, “Have you told your two partners about your plan to sell Fengyuan?”

“Not yet. They almost never come to the company anymore; they seem to be looking for buyers!” Liao Mingjun thought for a moment and said, “Only a trusted elder knows, but I asked him to keep it confidential for now.”

Su Yang suddenly suggested, “How about you buy out your two partners' shares cheaply first, and then we, Jiuxiang, buy them from you?”

“Let's not,” Liao Mingjun understood Su Yang's idea as soon as he heard it, but he still refused, “Let them make a little bit of profit.”

“Fine!”

Su Yang nodded.

Since Liao Mingjun was being so honest and kind, he couldn't say much more.

However, Jiuxiang Catering still needed to conduct a detailed valuation of Fengyuan.

The two shareholders of Fengyuan were also quite proactive upon hearing that Jiuxiang Catering wanted to acquire Fengyuan.

They currently just wanted to escape from the quagmire that was Fengyuan.

As for hiking up the price on the spot, they had thought about it.

But after some thought, they gave up on the idea.

Their Fengyuan did not possess any unique scarcity!

If they annoyed Jiuxiang Catering and they decided not to acquire them, their shares might not even have any buyers.

Given Fengyuan's performance, their shares wouldn't sell for much.

They had already tried.

As for selling to Liao Mingjun, that was even more out of the question.

Liao Mingjun only had this company left, and they were well aware of the company's liquid capital.

After Jiuxiang Catering's valuation, including that bit of liquid capital, Fengyuan was worth about 8.47 million.

It was a bit lower than the nine million valuation Liao Mingjun had mentioned.

The value mostly lay in the cold-chain transport trucks, forklifts, etc., as well as the factory equipment.

The cold storage and factory buildings were all rented!

Seeing the detailed valuation list provided by Jiuxiang Catering, Liao Mingjun also nodded.

He indicated that he could accept it.

Su Yang asked directly, “Nine million, how about it?”

Since he had said he would acquire it at a premium, it was impossible for Su Yang to go back on his word.

What he needed was a supply chain company that could be developed!

Liao Mingjun took a deep breath and said, “Deal!”

The other two Fengyuan shareholders also quickly nodded with smiles: “We have no objections either!”
