241: Chapter 241 Taking Control of Baihai! Can We Get a Loan of Several Hundred Million?

Chapter 241: Controlling Baihai! Can I Borrow Several Hundred Million?

Just two days after settling terms with Shang Guibing, Su Yang received news.

The employees from Shangsi and Yihe whom he had listed were all willing to join Spark Media.

They would join Xinghuo one after another over the next month.

Su Yang was naturally quite satisfied with this!

If it weren't for the fact that Shangsi and Yihe didn't have any good influencer prospects, he would have wanted to poach them too!

Most of the people in their companies were just manufactured beauties doing live streams; he didn't have much interest in them.

Good news also came from Shancheng. Xiang Changxing had completed the preliminary work for the equity investment in Baihai Ingredients, and both parties were ready to sign the agreement.

Su Yang also set off for Shancheng and purchased 71% of the shares in Baihai Ingredients for 10.5 million yuan.

From then on, the over two hundred employees of Baihai Ingredients were considered his!

After signing the contract, even though Su Yang didn't particularly like socializing, he still had a meal with the other shareholders of Baihai Ingredients.

He drank a bit of alcohol and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Although he didn't like drinking, thanks to his superhuman physical fitness, his alcohol tolerance was quite staggering!

However, he still exercised restraint.

Afterward, these shareholders took Su Yang, Fengyuan General Manager Qian Xiaochang, Deputy General Manager Xiang Changxing, Jiuxiang Catering's Guo Fang, and Weimeijia Deputy General Manager Dai Danian to several more dinner parties!

Nothing unexpected happened during this time, but Su Yang felt a bit bored.

The people at the dinner parties were either middle-aged or old men; aside from business matters, he had very few common topics with them.

There were young, beautiful girls accompanying them, but being cautious by nature, he didn't make a move.

In the business world, it's better to be cautious.

Even though he had Business Deduction, it only covered events within one year.

But what about after that?

In the CEO's office of Shangsi Media, the boss, Huang Zhenping, looked at five resignation letters with some displeasure.

"Aren't there a bit too many people resigning this month?"

Every month, Shangsi Media had employees resigning, but most of them were new employees.

This was the first time five veteran employees had resigned all at once!

The General Manager said in a low voice, "They're just ordinary employees!"

The five employees leaving this time were indeed veterans.

However, they were all just grassroots staff and weren't considered important figures!

"Did you try to persuade them to stay?"

"I did, but they were all determined to leave!" The General Manager thought for a moment and said, "There must be a company poaching our people... Wei Chenhua has always been single, but I know Cui Yang and Jiang Longjun well; they have families and mortgages. They definitely wouldn't dare leave without a next job lined up!"

"Did you ask which company it is?"

"They didn't say!"

"The others don't matter, but can you get Wei Chenhua to stay?"

Huang Zhenping wasn't a fool. Replacements could be found for the others resigning this time, but he still cared quite a bit about Wei Chenhua!

"I've tried!"

"Call him in here!" Huang Zhenping said with a cold face, "I'll talk to him!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Before long, Wei Chenhua arrived at the boss's office.

However, even though Huang Zhenping raised his base salary from five thousand to eight thousand—one thousand more than Spark Media—Wei Chenhua remained unmoved.

Wei Chenhua's attitude made Huang Zhenping a bit furious: "Wei Chenhua, you'd better think this through. I still have some influence in Rongcheng!"

"I know."

Wei Chenhua said indifferently.

In his early years, Huang Zhenping ran KTVs and bars, and he knew a lot of people!

After hearing that live streaming was a quick way to make money, he pulled a group of pretty girls from KTVs and bars to start web streaming, gradually developing from a simple guild into an MCN, which was considered a minor success.

But Wei Chenhua was already mentally prepared; was Spark Media really that bad?

Through Huo Yunjiang's introduction, he roughly knew that the parent company behind Spark Media was Jufan Holdings.

Jufan Holdings sounded relatively obscure, but it happened to be a conglomerate spanning multiple fields like catering, food, media, and fitness!

He had been out in society until the age of thirty; how could he not know the power of such a conglomerate?

If Huang Zhenping were truly respectable or had any solid connections, he wouldn't be operating in the gray industry!

Seeing Wei Chenhua's attitude, Huang Zhenping knew the company Wei Chenhua was jumping to definitely wasn't bad: "Is it Spark Media?"

Recently, the only company he had crossed paths with was Spark Media.

Seeing Wei Chenhua fall silent, Huang Zhenping knew he had guessed correctly.

Huang Zhenping roared, "You really think the company can't survive without you? Get out!"

"..."

As soon as Su Yang returned to Rongcheng, Huang Quan impatiently found him and asked him out to play.

Naturally, he accepted.

After all, he had been quite busy lately and indeed hadn't spent much time with Huang Quan.

As for the others, he could just accompany them in the evening!

Moreover, the place Huang Quan invited Su Yang to was very interesting: a large indoor ski resort in Rongcheng.

In the scorching summer, what could be cooler than a ski resort?

He had always heard about Rongcheng's indoor ski resort before but had never personally come to play.

As a southerner, he had a natural yearning for heavy snow and the great sea!

It was also Huang Quan's first time.

She had heard her roommates talk about the ski resort but had never had the chance to come before.

Arriving at the ski resort and putting on thick down jackets, Huang Quan took Su Yang to play on the slides and ice bumper cars with the others.

Then, the two of them rented skiing equipment and began learning to ski under a coach's instruction!

Su Yang studied very seriously; he decided he must go to a northern ski resort to play when he had time.

Relying on his extremely powerful physical talent and long-term consistent exercise,

Su Yang soon learned the ropes, and even the ski coach praised his talent!

Huang Quan also had some talent; holding Su Yang's hand, she could manage to slide along!

Gliding down the snow track hand-in-hand, both felt it was fresh and exciting.

Just then, Huang Quan's foot tripped, dragging Su Yang down to fall on top of her.

The two stared at each other, and Huang Quan just looked at Su Yang and laughed.

Fortunately, the snow track was designed for beginners, and they didn't slide very far while lying down.

In the evening, Su Yang dropped Huang Quan off at the entrance of her neighborhood.

After a kiss, Huang Quan felt extremely reluctant to part.

"How about... you come up to my place for a bit?"

"Maybe I shouldn't?"

Su Yang was still a bit apprehensive about meeting family members; after all, he wasn't exactly a good man!

Huang Quan whispered, "My mom is away on a business trip!"

"What about your dad?"

"They're divorced!"

"Alright!"

Huang Quan hadn't mentioned this situation to him before.

Su Yang patted Huang Quan's small head and said, "Go on back."

Huang Quan looked at Su Yang, then turned and walked toward the neighborhood gate.

She hadn't expected Su Yang to refuse her request and couldn't help but puff out her cheeks.

Then she somewhat gloomily blew at her bangs.

Was it because she wasn't charming enough?

Su Yang got into the car and said to the driver, "Go to Chen Li's place."

"Yes, Boss!"

It wasn't that Huang Quan wasn't charming enough, but that Su Yang already had arrangements and couldn't dally here for too long.

He had also made an appointment with Chen Li in advance!

Moreover, his feelings for Huang Quan were somewhat complicated.

This girl seemed a bit too pure, making him a bit embarrassed to make a move.

He wasn't in a hurry and intended to give Huang Quan a little more time.

After helping Chen Li vent her stress, Su Yang began stroking the beautiful Persian cat she kept.

He liked cats, but he didn't keep them!

Stroking someone else's cat was just fine.

No need to worry about anything oneself, just pure enjoyment!

"Sister Li!"

"Mm!"

Chen Li, lying on the bed, replied lazily.

Su Yang asked, "Do you know anyone in banking?"

"Of course I know a few. Why?"

"I want to take out a loan."

"A loan?"

Chen Li repeated the phrase, slowly focusing her somewhat scattered spirit.

"Do you have collateral?"

"No!"

Su Yang did have a property worth three million yuan.

But if he was only going to borrow less than three million, he might as well not borrow at all!

Previously, he didn't take loans because his companies had been operating for too short a time.

He wasn't afraid of debt; he could definitely repay that bit of interest easily!

If the debt was large enough, the bank would even have to help him...

"How much do you want to borrow?"

"Can I borrow several hundred million?"

"Several hundred million?" Chen Li couldn't help but raise her voice, "Are you dreaming?"

"What's with that tone? Believe it or not, I'll give you several hundred million right now?"

Su Yang made a move as if to climb on top of her.

"Ugh... no more! No more!" Chen Li quickly blocked Su Yang and hurriedly changed the subject, "Your company has only been established for a year at most. Without collateral, you'd be lucky to borrow ten million. A few banks might let you borrow thirty million, but that would also be very troublesome... Are you in a hurry?"

"I'm not in a hurry, I was just asking casually!"
