155: Chapter 155: Wei Mei Jia Established! The Food Company Continues to Expand!

After hanging out at the bar until 10:30, Su Yang ignored Chang Yiting's slightly resentful gaze, sent the three girls off, bid farewell to Ou Xiaoning and the others, and then finally returned home.

The next day, he threw himself back into his work.

In the following days, with the help of Liao Mingjun, Ji Guoxiong rented a factory building near Fengyuan Ingredients and established "Weimeijia" Catering Management Company, which focused on Chinese-style fast food.

Naturally, the headquarters of Weimeijia was placed in Hyatt Plaza for ease of management.

[Remember this site's domain name: Taiwan Novel Network has many books, ƚ ɯ ƙ α ɳ . ƈ σ ɱ, read as you please]

Su Yang naturally placed Weimeijia under the name of Jiuxiang Catering, making it a subsidiary of Jiuxiang Catering and allowing it to enjoy the bonus buff of Jiuxiang Catering.

Su Yang also successively rented three relatively large storefronts near the food industrial park where Jiuxiang Food was located, near the MCN Industrial Park where Spark Media was located, and near Hyatt Plaza.

According to his Business Deduction, these three storefronts were quite good, mainly because there were many ordinary office workers and laborers!

After determining the renovation style, creating the store design blueprints, and discussing and deciding with Su Yang, Ji Guoxiong, and other vice presidents, the three storefronts began renovations.

With a group of experienced employees helping, everything progressed quite smoothly.

Su Yang's work at Jiuxiang Catering was mainly just selecting good storefronts and making strategic decisions!

Just after ending the live stream connection with the employees, Jiang Yuzhen knocked on Su Yang's office door:

"Boss, General Manager He from Jiayi Renovation wants to see you!"

"Where is he now?"

"He is in the reception area of Jiuxiang Catering."

"Let him come over!"

"Okay!"

Su Yang was a little puzzled as to why He Jinwei was looking for him.

Because of Dong Fang, Jiuxiang Catering and Jiayi Renovation had been cooperating quite happily recently.

Of course, after the establishment of Jiuxiang Catering, the renovation work for the hotpot restaurants was not just done in cooperation with Jiayi Renovation.

There were two other renovation companies as well.

But half of it was being done by Jiayi Renovation!

As soon as He Jinwei saw Su Yang, he was very enthusiastic: "General Manager Su, long time no see!"

"Indeed, long time no see!"

Su Yang shook hands with He Jinwei and asked.

The little secretary also poured a cup of tea for He Jinwei.

Su Yang asked with confusion: "General Manager He, is there anything you need? It couldn't be that the renovation payment hasn't arrived, right?"

Su Yang generally didn't ask about these matters.

"No! No!" He Jinwei shook his head repeatedly, "Your company's renovation payments are never delayed; they are always very punctual!"

"Then what did you come to me for..."

"General Manager Su, are you interested in Jiayi Renovation?"

Su Yang looked at He Jinwei with confusion: "General Manager He, what do you mean?"

"I mean, is General Manager Su interested in Yijia Renovation?" He Jinwei asked directly, "If General Manager Su is interested, I can sell the company to you!"

"I am quite unfamiliar with the construction industry."

All along, Su Yang hadn't been particularly interested in renovation or construction companies.

He felt that it was better to develop slowly with catering and food as the foundation.

"Oh!"

He Jinwei heard it; Su Yang was politely declining.

Looking at He Jinwei, who had some dark circles under his eyes, Su Yang couldn't help but ask:

"General Manager He, have you encountered any problems?"

After all, they were old acquaintances, so he still had to show some concern for him.

"Sigh!" He Jinwei let out a heavy sigh, "I've been thinking about retiring lately!"

Goodness!

He Jinwei shouldn't be even fifty, right!

Retiring already?

Su Yang asked with confusion: "Is business not good?"

"It's okay!" He Jinwei sat on the sofa and wiped his face with his hand, "It's just that I've been feeling a bit disheartened lately."

"How so?"

Su Yang sat down next to He Jinwei and asked softly.

Hearing Su Yang's concern, He Jinwei couldn't help but pour out his grievances to Su Yang:

"It's like this..."

The gist of the matter was that He Jinwei had taken on a "big" project two years ago.

Helping a real estate company renovate the public areas of several residential buildings.

For this, He Jinwei had even fronted over a million in material costs.

After the project was completed, he had never received the remaining two-million balance.

Not long ago, that real estate company finally remembered the matter of the balance...

Su Yang asked with a strange expression: "So, their meaning is that if you pay an additional one million in cash, they will offset the debt with a house worth three million?"

"Yes!"

"That's not too bad!" Su Yang couldn't help saying, "At least you can still get a house."

He Jinwei said with a bitter face: "General Manager Su, you don't know, that house isn't worth three million at all!"

"Then how much is it worth?"

"Less than two million!"

"Ahem!"

Su Yang couldn't help it... What a slick move!

"It can't even sell for the listed price of two million!" He Jinwei said with some anger, "Yet they said that house is worth three million and still want me to pay an extra million in cash!"

"Uh..."

"General Manager Su, do you think this is something a human would do?"

"Not a human!"

Su Yang decisively stood on He Jinwei's side.

He Jinwei vented his emotions and felt much better inside.

"Then what does General Manager He plan to do?"

He Jinwei scratched his scalp hard: "I guess I'll still take the house!"

"Are you willing to accept that?"

"What other choice is there?" He Jinwei said helplessly, "At least I can still get the house... If this drags on, I'm afraid that company will go bankrupt directly, and that would be trouble!"

Can't you just sue them?

But Su Yang didn't say this out loud.

If he could, He Jinwei would have done so long ago.

After all, two million was not a small amount to him!

After chatting with He Jinwei a bit more, Su Yang finally sent him off.

But Su Yang felt that He Jinwei really seemed to have a desire to retire.

Turning back, Su Yang saw that Jiang Yuzhen also seemed to be in a bad mood.

"What's wrong?"

Jiang Yuzhen: "I feel like General Manager He also has it tough!"

"You should just focus on doing your own work!" Su Yang said with a smile, "General Manager He at least has several houses in Rongcheng and over a million in savings, what do you have?"

"Uh..."

Jiang Yuzhen suddenly felt even worse!

"Boss, when do you think I'll be able to buy a house in Rongcheng?"

Having come to the big city, she didn't want to go back to the countryside.

"Housing prices in Rongcheng are relatively cheap among big cities. If we calculate it at two million, with your monthly salary of ten thousand, you would need seventeen years without eating or drinking... If you like a better house, it might take a little longer!" Su Yang patted Jiang Yuzhen on the shoulder and encouraged, "Secretary Jiang, keep it up!"

"Ah!"

Jiang Yuzhen felt like she was going to go crazy!

She knew the boss was teasing her, but she was still very emo!

Seeing that Jiang Yuzhen's little face was full of gloom, Su Yang felt much happier inside.

As expected, happiness can be transferred.

Taking the gloomy Jiang Yuzhen with him, Su Yang headed to the Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurant.

Recently, ordinary employees from two more hotpot restaurants could receive bonuses.

Su Yang was going to announce this good news to these employees.

He hoped these employees would be happy and explode some more gold coins for him!

If he could explode some special rewards, that would be even better.

By mid-March, Jiuxiang Food had successively annexed a potato chip factory, a biscuit factory, a spicy strip factory, and a factory producing frozen dumplings and tangyuan in the food industrial park.

The scale of these factories was not large, and even the factory buildings were rented.

It didn't cost much money, just over eight million, plus two million in debt!

Anyway, as long as he could buy the factories and equipment, he didn't care at all about the labor or anything else.

The only problem might be the issue of unsold inventory.

However, these factories' original sales channels were still there, and coupled with Jiuxiang Food's original sales channels, business would definitely get better gradually!

With jiuxiang beef snacks, dried fruits, preserved fruits, and other snacks, they had a good start.

The distributors, supermarkets, convenience stores, and snack chains that cooperated with Jiuxiang Food all had certain expectations for Jiuxiang Food's other snacks.

This should count as the initial brand effect!

As for online sales, Jiuxiang Food's reputation was also excellent.

It could somewhat drive the sales of other snack categories.

At least once they tried it, they should be able to taste the quality of the snacks!

Strictly speaking, such eager and quick development of a food company was bound to easily lead to problems.

But Su Yang was not worried!

He was willing to spend money, and the management personnel he recruited were all experienced.

And he was personally in charge.

With Business Deduction, there certainly wouldn't be any major trouble!

At this time, Su Yang was no longer urging Tan Yanghong to continue annexing other food factories.

In the following time, Jiuxiang Food needed to digest slowly.

In the future, the speed of merging other snack factories would also slow down.

After all, Jiuxiang Food's snack categories were already relatively complete.

There were some snack types that couldn't be supplemented, mostly due to raw material issues!

At least Su Yang was initially satisfied!

And being able to spend over eight million at once on Jiuxiang Food also made him happy!

He felt that the 100,000 annual salary increase for Tan Yanghong was quite valuable.

At least he didn't complain about hardship or fatigue now.

Every day, he was like an old ox, working silently without complaint!

With the remaining seven million, Su Yang transferred two million to the Jiuxiang Catering account.

He also transferred one million each to the accounts of Fengyuan Ingredients and Jiuxiang Food.

Finally, he transferred four million to the Spark Media account!

Jiuxiang Catering had just established "Weimeijia".

Whether it was renting factory buildings to build kitchens or renting storefronts for renovation, it was all company money.

But Jiuxiang Catering still had three hotpot restaurants outside the main urban area under renovation, so it was necessary to provide a little support!

The number of workers at Jiuxiang Food had surged again, and more management personnel needed to be recruited.

Su Yang definitely had to support it more, even if its account still had two million.

As for Spark Media, with more money, they could do more marketing, and they also had to spend money on traffic... supporting more contracted internet celebrities to get ahead, the salary pressure for those personnel was also quite high!

As for Spark Fitness, it was temporarily like a stepchild!

Seeing the few hundred thousand in his hand, Su Yang felt his whole body relax.

He felt that life wasn't so urgent anymore!

As expected, spending money lavishly can indeed relieve stress!

The speed at which Su Yang spent money was not even quite clear to the executives of the several companies.

Because they could only manage their own small patch of land.

The only one who was relatively clear about it was probably the little secretary, Jiang Yuzhen.

Once the money was transferred to the company accounts, Su Yang definitely had to notify the general managers of the four companies.

But now that he had a secretary, this work was naturally taken over by the secretary!
