Chapter 176: Preparing the Holding Company! Online Promotion for the Law Firm!

When Su Yang saw that his younger cousin's birthday was the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, he silently closed the document.

During the May Day holiday, as the big boss, Su Yang visited several of his companies and over a dozen stores to cheer up his employees and gain some of their favor in the process.

Once the May Day Golden Week passed, Su Yang began preparing to establish a holding company.

He currently owned six companies under his name, including Xinghuo Health, Jiuxiang Catering, Jiuxiang Food, Spark Media, Fengyuan Ingredients, and Hongyu Law Firm.

Several of these companies were already collaborating, and his future industries would certainly expand beyond these.

Having a holding company would make it easier to coordinate cooperation between the companies, fully utilize resources, save costs, improve efficiency, and facilitate diversified development.

Furthermore, using a holding company would make capital utilization more convenient!

For example, Spark Fitness currently had over a million in its account. If Su Yang wanted to take that money out and invest it into Jiuxiang Food, he would need to pay taxes.

But with a holding company, if both Spark Fitness and Jiuxiang Food were subsidiaries under the holding company, then transferring funds from the Spark Fitness account to Jiuxiang Catering would be tax-free.

Of course, Su Yang didn't really care about the tax money.

It was just that once a company reaches a certain level, if you don't do this... people will suspect you aren't professional enough!

Reasonable tax avoidance is also officially permitted.

Years ago, officials even personally stepped in to teach companies how to reasonably avoid taxes.

On May 6th, Tan Jiaxin called Su Yang.

She said Zhu Zixuan was getting married on May 13th and wanted to invite Su Yang to attend.

Su Yang certainly knew Zhu Zixuan.

She was an old employee from his first hotpot restaurant, and her loyalty had long since reached 90.

This wasn't the first time he had been invited to an employee's wedding.

Su Yang asked curiously, "Why not get married during May Day?"

"She said the hotpot restaurant is too busy during May Day," Tan Jiaxin said with a smile. "Actually, she wanted to invite you a long time ago, but she was a bit afraid... she agonized over it for a while!"

"Alright!" Su Yang thought for a moment and asked, "What's the location?"

"Right here in Rongcheng!" Tan Jiaxin said. "Do you want her to talk to you? She's right next to me!"

"Sure!"

Soon, Su Yang heard Zhu Zixuan's voice.

Su Yang chatted with Zhu Zixuan for a bit, but when it came to whether he would attend, he couldn't directly agree.

"I can't say for sure right now. Send me the location, and I'll see then!" Su Yang joked, "But even if I can't make it, the gift money will be there."

After hanging up the phone with Tan Jiaxin, Su Yang asked Jiang Yuzhen to prepare a red envelope for him.

Jiang Yuzhen knew Su Yang's habits. Knowing it was for a wedding, she tucked three hundred yuan into the wedding red envelope.

This was practically an explicit rule in Su Yang's other companies, except for Hongyu Law Firm.

Internal employees could only give two hundred yuan as a gift; even the general managers weren't qualified to give three hundred... only Su Yang, the big boss, could give three hundred.

If you wanted to give more, that was fine too.

As long as it didn't involve bribery, the company wouldn't actually investigate.

However, after Su Yang's rule came out, it was quite popular among the younger employees.

It was implemented fairly well among the youth.

Mainly, Su Yang felt that it was just a wedding—did they really expect to strike it rich?

Young employees didn't have much money in their pockets; wouldn't it be better for them to save a bit more to buy his snacks?

In a while, he would also start revising the company regulations of Hongyu Law Firm!

Just as Jiang Yuzhen finished preparing the gift money, Su Yang received a system notification.

His employee count at Fengyuan Ingredients had finally surpassed one hundred!

It was likely that Qian Xiaochang, the general manager of Fengyuan Ingredients, was feeling the pressure.

After all, Weimeijia's business was booming, Jiuxiang Catering was expanding into Shancheng, and Jiuxiang Food's snack sales were getting better and better. Combined with a little pressure from Su Yang, he was forced to speed up development.

If he couldn't keep up with the pace of the hotpot restaurants, Weimeijia, and Jiuxiang Food...

Su Yang would be looking for trouble with him!

Recently, Qian Xiaochang hadn't been idle either.

In addition to working hard to expand the market, he was also laying out the industrial layout in rural areas.

[Ding! Your employee count at Fengyuan Ingredients has surpassed one hundred. You have received an achievement reward: 3 Strength Points.]

[Ding! Your Fengyuan Ingredients has gained a buff: -50% Ingredient Contamination, +30% Ingredient Freshness!]

Seeing this special buff, Su Yang was quite satisfied!

In addition to ensuring food safety as much as possible, it also saved the company a lot of money.

After the 6th passed, it was Su Yang's favorite day: the 7th of every month!

[Ding! You have received a rebate of 1.82 million yuan for Spark Fitness employee wages and benefits for April.]

[Ding! You have received a rebate of 8.29 million yuan for Jiuxiang Catering employee wages and benefits for April.]

[Ding! You have received a rebate of 4.07 million yuan for Spark Media employee wages and benefits for April.]

[Ding! You have received a rebate of 3.58 million yuan for Jiuxiang Food employee wages and benefits for April.]

[Ding! You have received a rebate of 0.82 million yuan for Fengyuan Ingredients employee wages and benefits for April.]

[Ding! You have received a rebate of 0.91 million yuan for Hongyu Law Firm employee wages and benefits for April.]

[Ding! The loyalty of employees Shao Funing, Chen Weiwei, Zhou Shuhai, and others from Spark Fitness, Spark Media, Jiuxiang Catering, Jiuxiang Food, Fengyuan Ingredients, and Hongyu Law Firm has increased to 90. You have received a cash reward of 450,000 yuan and 1 Strength Point.]

Thus, Su Yang's account increased by another 19.94 million yuan!

And the funds in Su Yang's hands officially surpassed twenty million.

Twenty million—that was a truly unimaginable figure in the past.

But for the current Su Yang, it was just so-so.

In April, the increase in employees for Spark Fitness, Spark Media, and Jiuxiang Food was relatively small.

Spark Media and Jiuxiang Food were still in the process of integrating their employees; it wasn't suitable to continue racing ahead!

As for Fengyuan Ingredients, one could only say its development speed still needed improvement.

The law firm had indeed been hiring recently, but the speed wasn't fast enough either.

Liu Fengshan was somewhat similar to Yu Siying; both were managers with high requirements for employees!

However, a portion of those lawyers had quite high salaries!

This made Su Yang quite satisfied!

He had acquired the law firm at a high premium, but he wouldn't need eight years to break even; nine months would just about do it.

Only Su Yang's Jiuxiang Catering was as impressive as ever; its employee count had surpassed a thousand and was still racing ahead.

However, recently Jiuxiang Catering was also starting to lose its momentum.

Management training for talent was struggling to keep up.

Jiuxiang Catering lacked experienced hotpot and fast-food restaurant managers!

Su Yang's hotpot restaurants were all directly operated stores, not franchises.

The management difficulty and burden were far higher than those of franchise stores!

Ji Guoxiong's idea was that once Jiuxiang gained a firm foothold in Shancheng, they would need to stabilize for a bit.

Let Jiuxiang Catering lie low for a while to strengthen employee training and assessment, and bolster their reserve of backup talent.

Su Yang was still considering it, but he knew Ji Guoxiong's words made sense.

Racing too fast in the early stages often led to problems later on.

Su Yang's expansion model wasn't much different from big capital's frantic land-grabbing expansion; eventually, it would just leave a mess behind!

It was just that Su Yang had a cheat system that could guarantee the stores' profitability.

He was also willing to give employees decent pay and benefits, so they were relatively easy to manage.

Human greed is indeed endless; after a salary increase, they might lose that sense of excitement after a while, but they would be afraid of losing this job!

Compared to other catering chains, the treatment of Jiuxiang Catering's store employees was still top-tier!

Although there were still some annoying matters, seeing the twenty million in cash piled up in his account, Su Yang quickly forgot his worries.

What can relieve worries?

Only money!

On the 8th, Su Yang arrived at Hongyu Law Firm.

Ever since he acquired the firm and gave the employees a raise, Su Yang had gone off on vacation.

The time he spent at the firm was extremely minimal.

The firm's affairs were mainly left to Liu Fengshan to handle.

The matter of the corporate legal counsel needed to be implemented, and Liu Fengshan had also handed a recommendation list to Su Yang.

In addition, Su Yang prepared to have Hongyu Law Firm conduct legal promotion within his other companies.

This would help the firm's lawyers expand their client base.

There was a group of high-quality clients within his companies.

Even those ordinary employees wouldn't be looked down upon by the firm's young lawyers!

After all, where there are cases, there is income!

As for whether Su Yang would be sued by his employees... he wasn't very worried about that.

First of all, there weren't many issues with his companies; the benefits were quite good, and he tried his best to avoid making employees work overtime.

Occasional overtime was considered normal and came with overtime pay.

Also, some industries were hard to define in terms of overtime.

Like this bunch of lawyers—if a client found them at night, would they go or not...

But compared to his peers, Su Yang was already far ahead!

Secondly, even if the firm didn't promote it, did he really think young people didn't know the law?

That was definitely nonsense; nowadays, what couldn't be found online? There were even lawyer consultation platforms.

And on all the major short video platforms, there were lawyers present!

Finally, even if he were sued, it would definitely just be some minor issue.

Su Yang would just treat it as supporting the law firm's development and training the legal team.

Of course, the company would also try its best to improve, treating it as checking for and filling gaps.

Liu Fengshan was also quite interested when he heard Su Yang's suggestion.

Hongyu followed a corporate system, which required the company to help lawyers expand their client base and find cases.

Then, Liu Fengshan also mentioned Spark Media.

"Boss, your Spark Media seems to be doing very well. Can you have them help us do some promotion?"

Liu Fengshan looked at Su Yang with some anticipation.

Su Yang nodded in approval and said, "You have a good eye!"

He hadn't expected that before he could even bring it up, Liu Fengshan would have his eyes on Spark Media!

Liu Fengshan said helplessly, "It's not that we haven't had the firm's young lawyers make short videos on Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and Bilibili before, but the results were always unsatisfactory!"

The law firm not only needed to expand its offline client source by sending lawyers to participate in community activities, legal popularization consultations, legal aid, legal services, and various levels of official legal consultation activities... it also needed to conduct online promotion.

Hongyu Law Firm had not only sent young lawyers to make short videos.

They had also joined legal consultation platforms and even placed online advertisements!

However, because they were limited by capital and weren't professional enough, the online promotion effect was quite average.
