Chapter 33: I Really Am a Little Genius at Losing Money!

Su Yang had just checked his profile.

Feng Jianxing is fifty-eight years old and was once a weightlifter.

w̆̈̆̈k̆̈̆̈̆̈ă̈̆̈n̆̈̆̈.c̆̈̆̈ŏ̈̆̈m̆̈̆̈ Easy Reading

He hadn't achieved much in national competitions, but he did win a championship at a lower level!

However, that was a very long time ago.

Later, he served as a weightlifting coach for a while before resigning again.

He also worked as a fitness trainer in commercial gyms, but he frequently job-hopped.

Finally, he came to Jijian and stayed for five years!

Zhou Shunian thought for a moment and commented, "Feng Jianxing's ability is quite good, but his personality is rather straightforward and strict."

"Straightforward and strict?" Su Yang nodded. "That's not bad!"

Zhou Shunian reminded him, "But he sometimes offends the customers!"

"No problem!" Su Yang smiled. "I can have him train the coaches!"

Master-level strength training ability would likely be top-tier even on a national level.

Having him teach ordinary members felt like a waste of talent to Su Yang!

Zhou Shunian was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted. "That actually works. All the fitness trainers in our gym have been guided by him!"

"Isn't that perfect then?"

Not long after, Su Yang met Feng Jianxing.

Feng Jianxing's loyalty to him was 79, which meant he had a decent level of goodwill!

"Boss, you called for me?"

"Yes, Coach Feng. Are you interested in transferring to another gym?"

Feng Jianxing said with some hesitation, "Boss, I've grown accustomed to staying here!"

"I need you to help me train the fitness coaches. If you do well, I can raise your salary to twenty thousand. If your performance is excellent, thirty thousand is not out of the question!"

For master-level strength training ability, Su Yang felt that a monthly salary of twenty to thirty thousand was well worth it.

When male members come to the gym to work out, they usually prefer to try strength training to get stronger.

He felt it was necessary to further improve the strength training level of his own male fitness coaches!

Hearing Su Yang's offer, Feng Jianxing couldn't help but swallow hard. "This... isn't impossible!"

You have to understand, while staying at Jijian, even including the income from private lessons, he could only earn at most ten thousand plus per month.

Over ten thousand!

That was already considered one of the best at Jijian!

But Su Yang offered twenty or thirty thousand right off the bat; how could he refuse?

Most importantly, Xinghuo was very much to Feng Jianxing's taste.

Teaching fitness coaches was also much simpler than selling private lessons!

Su Yang smiled and said, "Then it's settled!"

"Mm!"

That afternoon, Su Yang arrived at the former Qiangli Fitness, now the Spark Fitness Gaoxin District Store.

The construction here was quite luxurious, with all kinds of fitness equipment available, and the fitness coaches were even younger.

However, the overall professional level of the fitness coaches lagged behind Jijian.

It also lagged behind Xinghuo!

It had to be improved!

As usual, Su Yang reiterated Xinghuo's customer-first service requirements, encouraged them as he always did, and gave them all a raise.

Gao Qiang stood up directly and clapped!

The other employees followed suit, and the room erupted in thunderous applause!

"Fantastic!"

"Thank you, Boss!"

The girl at the front desk shouted loudly, "Boss, I love you!"

"..."

These young people seemed very excited, and their loyalty soared rapidly.

The rate at which their loyalty increased was even faster than that of the original Xinghuo employees.

Even compared to the old employees of Jijian, whose business philosophy was more compatible, they were not far behind!

This left Su Yang slightly puzzled, but also greatly satisfied!

[Ding~ The loyalty of Tian Tian, Zhao Xiaoling, and Yu Liya of Spark Fitness (Gaoxin District) has increased to 90. You receive a reward of 130,000.]

One hundred and thirty thousand?

So soon there are employees with loyalty breaking 90?

Su Yang was even more satisfied!

He glanced at the three names: two young girls and one cleaning lady!

Well!

He was almost becoming a 'friend of the ladies'!

He checked Gao Qiang's loyalty again...

[Ding~ The loyalty of Gao Qiang, the store manager of Spark Fitness (Gaoxin District), has increased to 90. You receive 1 Strength attribute point.]

He fell silent!

The increase in Gao Qiang's loyalty was completely beyond his expectations.

He had always thought Gao Qiang was the type of employee who wouldn't be loyal to anyone.

The fact that he had been bribed to deal with his former boss was proof of that!

After taking over Qiangli, he had even thought about finding an excuse to fire Gao Qiang.

But that thought only flashed by for a moment!

Gao Qiang was, after all, a meritorious official who had helped him save over a million.

Su Yang didn't require everyone to be a die-hard loyalist with 90 loyalty!

After all, people change, and so does loyalty!

So, as long as Gao Qiang's loyalty to him was at a passing grade and he managed the High-tech Zone gym diligently, Su Yang wouldn't touch him!

As it turned out... Gao Qiang, the one Su Yang was most worried about, actually had the fastest loyalty increase!

Once in the gym's office, Su Yang casually asked Gao Qiang, "I feel like the employees here really seem to welcome me!"

Gao Qiang smiled awkwardly. "It might be because the previous boss was too strict with them!"

Su Yang suddenly understood. No wonder the loyalty increased so fast!

Xu Tianqi had been unpopular before, and now that Su Yang was here, these employees were all welcoming the 'liberating army'!

Su Yang thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any suggestions for our Xinghuo reforms?"

"I have no objections!" Gao Qiang straightened his back and said, "The boss is focusing on the long term. The reforms are beneficial and harmless. I completely agree!"

"Then proceed with the reforms according to Xinghuo's regulations!"

Gao Qiang immediately replied, "Boss, I've already prepared for it!"

"Good!"

"Also, regarding Xinghuo's challenge activities, you all need to participate!"

"No problem, Boss!" Gao Qiang guaranteed. "Our Gaoxin District Store will definitely go all out!"

Gao Qiang's mood at this moment was naturally incredibly excited!

Xu Tianqi was finally gone!

He had been longing for this day, and he had finally waited for Su Yang to arrive!

The current boss, Su Yang, came from a wealthy background, had a mild temperament, and was kind to others.

Yet his methods were very formidable, many levels higher than Xu Tianqi's.

Gao Qiang didn't dare harbor any other thoughts!

And Su Yang had also followed through on his original promise, giving him a high salary!

As long as the salary was sufficient, Gao Qiang would be a gun in the boss's hand!

Su Yang was very satisfied with Gao Qiang's attitude!

The little bit of prejudice he had against Gao Qiang had almost vanished into thin air!

Could that even be called betraying the former boss?

Clearly, it should be called leaving the darkness for the light!

After finishing the day's work, Su Yang returned to his office at the Xinghuo Qinglong Store.

Sitting in the office, Su Yang did a rough tally of the income from the three gyms:

Spark Fitness (Qinglong District Store) (1,800 square meters), currently has 29 (21+8) employees, estimated July payroll of 470,000.

Under his vigorous reforms, the income from private lessons sold by the fitness coaches had decreased by more than one-third, nearly half!

After subtracting the rent, Su Yang estimated that the Qinglong District Store would lose about 130,000 in July!

Su Yang remembered that when Zhang Liang handed the gym over to him, it was still barely profitable.

As a result, in the second month after he took over, it lost 130,000 directly!

Spark Fitness Beidajie Store (Jijian Fitness) (700 square meters), currently has 10 employees, estimated July payroll after the raise is 120,000.

However, Su Yang didn't mind; most of the July salary was still being paid by Gu Jianjun.

He only needed to pay the extra 50,000 from the raise!

But if he didn't increase promotional efforts, the Beidajie Store would definitely start losing money next month due to employee compensation... estimated at a loss of forty to fifty thousand per month!

Spark Fitness Gaoxin District Store (Qiangli Fitness) (2,000 square meters), currently has 25 employees, estimated July payroll after the raise is 510,000.

Mainly because their performance in July was poor, and the fitness coaches' commissions were not high.

Fortunately, 340,000 of the July salary was being paid by Xu Tianqi, so Su Yang only needed to cover about 170,000!

This store was already continuously losing money.

With Su Yang's management reforms, it would only lose more in the short term.

After looking at these figures, Su Yang couldn't help but mock himself:

I'm really a f*cking little genius at losing money!

But thinking about the happy side, even if there's a loss on paper, he himself was actually profitable!

After all, he was a man with a system; the salaries would be reimbursed!

From Xu Zhiping's Qinglong District Store, Su Yang could get back about 350,000.

From Gao Qiang's Gaoxin District Store, he personally should be able to get 340,000.

This 340,000 was like a friendly tip from Xu Tianqi, and the July loss also counted as Boss Xu's!

From Zhou Shunian's Beidajie Store, he personally could get 70,000.

That 70,000 also came from Gu Jianjun's friendly sponsorship.

However, the ten thousand plus profit in July also belonged to Boss Gu.

Overall, from the three gyms, Su Yang would be able to get 760,000 in early August!

It was slightly lower than what Su Yang had anticipated.

But it wasn't unacceptable.

Adding in his hotpot restaurant, he would have an income of over 800,000 in early August.

A monthly income of a million is not a dream!

He knew very well that after next month would be the peak period for the gyms' promotion!

Su Yang's goal was—break-even!

Besides that, the number of employees in his gyms had reached 64!

After waiting a while to do more hiring, plus the hotpot restaurant employees, he wouldn't be far from one hundred employees.
