143: Chapter 143 Su Yang, a favorite among high-end clients! A gathering of men!
After making an appointment with Ji Lanjun, Su Yang arrived at Yu Siying's office.
Read Taiwan novels on Taiwan Novel Network, read as you please.
He told her that, from now on, the company would not sign internet celebrity bloggers involved in high-risk outdoor activities.
This was the first time he had seen recommendations for bloggers who rode motorcycles or engaged in extreme sports.
Yu Siying naturally agreed to this request from Su Yang.
The company already had many promising talents now; they really wouldn't miss one or two.
What gave her a headache now was that the company's resources were somewhat insufficient to distribute; she felt bad for whoever missed out!
However, Yu Siying did not let Su Yang leave; instead, she brought up the matter of the one-million-yuan advertising fee for Jiuxiang Food.
Su Yang naturally knew about this matter.
He also supported Tan Yanghong's move to vigorously invest in online advertising!
Nowadays, no matter what business you do, you need to vigorously engage in marketing and promotion.
"Does good wine fear a deep alley?"
Relying on word-of-mouth to win?
That would require waiting a few years, or maybe a dozen years?
He didn't have that much time to wait!
Moreover, this one-million-yuan advertising fee was just a drop in the bucket for many large companies!
Of course, one of the main reasons he didn't feel bad about the money was that Spark Media was his own company.
By doing online advertising through Spark Media, he could not only strengthen Spark Media.
But also keep a portion of the money spent on advertising in his own pocket.
After chatting with Yu Siying for a while, Su Yang considered his work for the day finished.
On the way home, while being driven by Feng Hua, he briefly checked the current number of employees in his five companies.
Spark Fitness had a total of 160 employees.
25 people in the headquarters, and a total of 135 people in the six fitness chain stores.
Jiuxiang Catering had a total of 847 employees.
Among them, 113 were headquarters staff.
The various hot pot chain stores had 675 employees.
There were 46 employees still in training, and 13 in the branch company, Jiuxiang Healthy Catering.
Spark Media had a total of 202 employees.
Jiuxiang Food had 298 employees.
Fengyuan Ingredients had 87 employees.
In other words, Su Yang now had 1,594 employees!
Moreover, this number of employees would definitely continue to rise.
After all, Jiuxiang Catering, Jiuxiang Food, and Fengyuan Ingredients were all still expanding rapidly!
Seeing this number, Su Yang suddenly felt that having over 10,000 employees didn't seem so unattainable after all.
The next day, Su Yang received a call from Xu Zhiping, the Vice General Manager of Spark Fitness.
He said that the group of important customers at Spark Fitness hoped that he could join the Spark Fitness high-end client wechat group.
Spark Fitness catered to mid-to-high-end clients; among these clients, there were indeed some wealthy individuals with significant net worth.
They were roughly concentrated among those with a net worth between tens of millions and over a hundred million!
As for those with even higher net worth, they didn't need to come to a gym to exercise.
Important customers of Spark Fitness generally referred to those with a cumulative consumption of over 200,000, or a few premium clients who were extremely generous the moment they spent money.
Spark Fitness would gather them into a wechat group, occasionally post some promotional information, and organize some offline activities for them.
This was managing the gym's private domain traffic, and it was also convenient for them to discuss common interests and hobbies.
Those who liked making friends and wanted to exercise together could also meet each other offline!
To be honest, in the early stages of his career, these people were considered relatively easy to approach and were quite good connections.
Chen Li had once reminded him that he could seriously cultivate these connections to facilitate doing other businesses.
But Su Yang had never taken the initiative to interact with them.
At most, he would just say hello when he ran into them at the gym.
Because he knew very clearly that if one's strength wasn't sufficient, shamelessly trying to get close to others wouldn't earn their respect!
Plus, he didn't really like socializing to begin with, so he basically pushed these matters to the General Manager, Vice General Manager, and the managers of each branch store!
"Is it necessary?" Su Yang asked, frowning.
"Boss, you should meet them!" Xu Zhiping said helplessly. "They really hope to see you; they are all quite curious about you!"
Now, the important customers of Spark Fitness were naturally no longer limited to Qinglong District!
Many important customers of Spark Fitness had only heard of Su Yang's name. They had no opportunity to see him in person.
The less Su Yang took the initiative to see them, the more curious they became about him!
Having heard that Su Yang was a very capable second-generation rich kid, and that his business was thriving, they wanted to interact with Su Yang even more.
"Fine!" Su Yang said reluctantly.
Hearing Su Yang's reply, Xu Zhiping breathed a sigh of relief: "Then shall I add you to the group?"
"Sure!"
Not long after, Su Yang received an invitation. He clicked accept and entered the Spark Fitness high-end client group.
As soon as he entered the group, Xu Zhiping spoke in the group: "Our Boss Su has joined!"
"Welcome, Boss Su!"
"Boss Su is a rare guest!"
"Boss Su has finally come, tears in my eyes!"
"Throwing flowers!"
"In my lifetime, I've finally seen Boss Su join the group... Truly a joyous occasion!"
"I heard Boss Su is a very handsome guy!"
"Oh my! Boss Su, post a photo! Please post a photo!"
"Does Boss Su have eight-pack abs? Can you let us see them?"
"I want to see too! Drooling with envy.jpg."
"..."
Seeing this warm welcome and the slightly explicit requests, Su Yang felt a wave of helplessness.
He didn't expect that this group of "high-end" clients would have such low-end requests!
He took a look at the person asking to see the eight-pack abs... it was actually a man!
Fortunately, the one drooling was female!
Su Yang helplessly typed: "No need to post a photo. I have eight-pack abs, but I won't show them!"
He was, after all, the gym owner, and he had to slightly maintain his persona as someone who loves fitness.
Qinghubo: "I have a photo of Boss Su, let me show you all!"
Then, she sent a photo. The group immediately became lively again!
"So handsome!"
"Looks like he should be very strong!"
"Judging by my years of experience, Boss Su isn't bragging; he definitely has eight-pack abs!"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. Look closely at the folds of his clothes on his abdomen when he exercises; I definitely won't be mistaken!"
"..."
Su Yang glanced at the photo sent in the group; it must have been secretly taken at the Qinglong District gym. Fortunately, it only captured his profile!
He immediately felt a wave of helplessness. When was this?
Huangquan: "@Su Yang: Boss Su, ten private training sessions, can you let me see a photo of your abs?"
Su Yang: "@Huangquan: No!"
Ten private training sessions might be worth between three thousand and five thousand; this amount of money wasn't enough to make Su Yang sell his body.
At least if they offered three or five million, he might seriously consider it.
Huangquan: "@Su Yang: What about a hundred sessions? You only send it to me, I won't send it to anyone else!"
Qinghubo: "I want to see too!"
Su Yang: "@Huangquan: No!"
Huangquan: "@Su Yang: Stingy!"
Su Yang: "@Huangquan: This is a matter of principle."
Huangquan: "@Su Yang: Gift me one private training session, and I'll send you a photo of my abs!"
The group of people below started to jeer!
Su Yang: "@Huangquan: Better not!"
Huangquan: "@Su Yang: Boring!"
Wang Long: "@Su Yang: Boss Su, we have an activity this weekend, do you want to come and join us?"
Su Yang: "What activity?"
He knew Wang Long; he was a company boss, with a net worth of over a hundred million, and a long-time customer of the Qinglong District gym.
His company was in Hyatt Plaza, working in the same building as his two companies.
He often slacked off at work and ran to the gym to exercise.
In his own words, exercising helped with thinking and releasing stress.
Every time he was in a bad mood or had a block in his thinking, he liked to come to the gym to pump iron!
He even bought gym memberships for all his company's employees, encouraging them to exercise actively.
Su Yang noticed the private message Xu Zhiping sent him; this gathering was organized by Wang Long at his own expense.
Wang Long: "@Su Yang: It's at a nearby villa, everyone will fish, eat, and there are activities planned for the evening!"
Evening activities? Su Yang became slightly interested!
Qinghubo: "@Wang Long: If Boss Su is going, I'm going too!"
Wang Long: "@Qinghubo: I've already said, this is a men's gathering, women are not welcome!"
