July 8th, Monday, Jufan Holdings office.

Jiang Yuzhen couldn't help but say upon seeing Su Yang, "Mr. Su, you seem to be in a very good mood today!"

"Not bad!"

Su Yang nodded with a smile and sat in his executive chair.

Yesterday, he spent the whole day playing with Huang Quan, and he was actually quite happy!

Those thrilling attractions were indeed great for relieving stress!

Su Yang asked casually, "Did you eat breakfast?"

"I did!"

Jiang Yuzhen nodded repeatedly.

She didn't dare come to work without breakfast now.

If she fainted again, her boss might give her a hard time!

He handled some matters for the parent company and then processed documents from the six subsidiaries.

Su Yang also received good news from Yi Jiangang in Shancheng.

He had reached an agreement with the owner of Shanyue Fitness, and they were now in the asset audit phase.

Acquiring that large gym shouldn't be a problem now!

If everything went smoothly, it should be finalized within a week!

Su Yang was quite pleased to receive this news.

Even if he didn't expect the gym to make much money.

But every additional store and twenty or thirty more employees counted as progress!

This would also be Spark Fitness's first stop in Shancheng!

Competition?

There wasn't much to compete for in the fitness industry at this stage; everyone operated within their own designated areas.

Capital wasn't willing to wade into these murky waters either!

Capitalists liked high technology, stories they could sell, and things they could list on the stock market to fleece the 'leeks'!

Therefore, as long as Su Yang entered Shancheng through acquisitions...

...he wouldn't have to worry about running into too much trouble.

Because unlike the highly competitive hotpot restaurants, it wouldn't affect the business of surrounding eateries.

There generally wouldn't be another large gym near a large gym!

He personally preferred the service industry as well.

It didn't require production costs or expensive equipment, and it needed a fair number of employees.

Labor costs accounted for a large proportion, which was very friendly to his cheat!

Like Jiuxiang Hotpot Chain and Weimeijia Chain under Jiuxiang Catering, and Spark Fitness—they were quite straightforward!

He just needed to copy and paste them everywhere. Even if he had to spend on marketing, it was only within a certain range.

Hongyu Law Firm was actually somewhat similar.

As long as those lawyers were working and making money, Su Yang couldn't lose his capital thanks to the system's salary and benefit rebates!

He could still make a little bit of profit here and there.

But Fengyuan and Jiuxiang Food were different.

This kind of food-oriented manufacturing and processing business...

If the goods couldn't be sold and rotted in the warehouse, he really could lose his capital!

Therefore, Jiuxiang Hotpot Chain was still undergoing internal reorganization this month.

Over at Spark Media, someone was sending funds to help them develop, so Su Yang could give more support to Spark Fitness!

If there were enough funds, Spark Fitness could expand into more cities and acquire more gyms.

This would also significantly increase the number of Spark Fitness employees.

At this stage, gym businesses in the country weren't doing well, which was exactly his opportunity!

"Mr. Yi, you can acquire a few more!" Thinking that today was payday, Su Yang said to Yi Jiangang over the phone, "Take a good look at other gyms in Shancheng."

"Alright!"

"Also, the head office will definitely give you full support for the reforms of the Shancheng gyms!" Su Yang said in a low voice, "Don't worry about financial pressure; I've got everything covered!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Hearing Su Yang's words, Yi Jiangang became happy again.

The boss's words gave him a great sense of security!

After finishing the call with Yi Jiangang, Su Yang checked in with Yu Siying to understand the situation.

It was basically that people were still being headhunted!

However, this didn't cause much of a stir in Su Yang's heart. Instead, Yu Siying had also conducted surveys and statistics on many professional behind-the-scenes teams and well-known influencers in the park.

In the afternoon, near the end of the workday, Su Yang finally heard the system notification:

[Ding~ You have received 1.85 million in salary and benefit rebates for Spark Fitness employees for June.]

[Ding~ You have received 11.05 million in salary and benefit rebates for Jiuxiang Catering employees for June.]

[Ding~ You have received 6.18 million in salary and benefit rebates for Spark Media employees for June.]

[Ding~ You have received 4.34 million in salary and benefit rebates for Jiuxiang Food employees for June.]

[Ding~ You have received 990,000 in salary and benefit rebates for Fengyuan Ingredients employees for June.]

[Ding~ You have received 1.21 million in salary and benefit rebates for Hongyu Law Firm employees for June.]

[Ding~ You have received 370,000 in salary and benefit rebates for Jufan Holdings headquarters employees for June.]

[Ding~ You have received a total of 25.99 million yuan in salary and benefit rebates for June.]

[Ding~ The loyalty of employees from Spark Fitness, Spark Media, Jiuxiang Catering, Jiuxiang Food, Fengyuan Ingredients, and Hongrong Law Firm, as well as Jufan Holdings employees Xu Ziqing, Bai Mengyun, and others, has increased to 90. You have received 530,000 in cash rewards and 1 Spirit Point.]

Seeing over twenty-six million enter his account, Su Yang was quite satisfied.

He remembered receiving 23.05 million last month.

An increase of over three million was within his acceptable range!

The reason the increase wasn't very large was mainly because the recruitment for Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurants had almost entered a stagnant period in June; the thirteen hotpot restaurants had been decided long ago!

In June, among his six companies, the ones that hired slightly more people were only Weimeijia under Jiuxiang Catering and Spark Media.

However, Weimeijia had relatively high requirements for store locations and accommodated fewer employees.

Spark Media had signed nearly a hundred more influencers, all of whom were getting a base salary of ten thousand!

Although more than ten had been headhunted away, there were still those who continued to receive salaries.

Other signed influencers had surpassed a million followers, but their salary increases weren't much.

After all, they weren't the type to suddenly explode in popularity!

Hongyu and Fengyuan had been hiring, but the numbers hadn't increased much.

Jiuxiang Food even held things back a bit, with the number of employees decreasing instead of increasing!

But Su Yang was still quite happy; at least the number of Jiuxiang Catering employees was close to one thousand four hundred.

Adding the 400 regular employees of Spark Media, over 400 employees of Jiuxiang Food, over 100 employees of Fengyuan Ingredients, 70 employees of Hongyu Law Firm, over 100 employees of Spark Fitness, and 30 employees of the parent company, the total number of employees for Jufan Holdings had surpassed two thousand five hundred!

Since becoming a boss, he felt that having two thousand five hundred regular employees was quite impressive.

Although the "on-paper" profit these 2,500 employees brought him might be far lower than the profit 2,500 employees would bring other bosses, he was very satisfied.

After all, he didn't live on profits alone!

Speaking of profits, he looked at his most inconspicuous Jiuxiang Healthy Catering under Jiuxiang Catering.

The profit margin of Jiuxiang Healthy Catering's nutritional meals was much higher than that of Nine Fragrance Hotpot and Weimeijia!

Unknowingly, this small company mainly focused on takeout had also accumulated a group of loyal customers, primarily gym members and female white-collar workers. The number of employees had exceeded twenty, most of whom were chefs.

After the funds arrived, seeing the twenty-seven million in hand, Su Yang transferred five million each to Fengyuan, Spark Media, Spark Fitness, and Jiuxiang Food through the parent company, leaving seven million as a reserve!

Fengyuan needed to continue developing; it would likely involve planting, breeding, and fisheries.

If it could develop into a domestic agricultural giant, that would be even better!

Due to the success of Nine Fragrance Hotpot and Weimeijia, Fengyuan's reputation as a supplier for two excellent brand chains was gradually spreading within the industry!

Spark Media also needed to develop. If everything went smoothly, it could gradually start filming short dramas.

It could even make a push into the entertainment industry.

When Spark Media reached that level, Su Yang's capital volume would be completely sufficient to invest in movies and TV series. He might even be able to chat about "luminous scripts" with female stars!

As long as the timeframe was kept within a year, his Business Deduction could still play a major role.

Conveniently, short dramas and low-budget movies and TV series probably wouldn't take too much time.

In this regard, as long as the funds were substantial enough, there were still many entertainment professionals willing to join!

Spark Fitness had better buy a few more gyms recently to make a name for itself in Shancheng!

Jiuxiang Food needed some working capital; it wouldn't need too much special attention in the future.

It could be allowed to grow naturally, and any spare cash could be used to increase the publicity budget.

Anyway, he could use 100% of Jiuxiang Food's profits for publicity and marketing.

He would be even more insane than those companies that used 80% of their profits for publicity!

As for dividends, he could only wrong the senior management of Jiuxiang Food for a while; he had given them raises anyway.

At worst, he could just issue some bonuses to make it up to them!

If they couldn't hold out... then forget it!

Looking at the over seven million in cash in his account, Su Yang found himself surprisingly indifferent.

Having more than enough cash had gradually cured his obsessive-compulsive disorder of having to spend all his money in the first half of the month!

He seemed to be experiencing a bit of the troubles that rich people have!
