348: Chapter 348 With a boss like this, I could stick with him my whole life!

[Ding~ You now own a psychological counseling company, and you have your first employee. You have received an achievement reward: 1 spirit point, the spirit Soothing talent, and your psychological counseling company will receive a permanent buff.]

[1. Communication ability improvement, 2. Psychological analysis ability improvement, 3. Affinity improvement, 4. Learning ability improvement, 5. Psychotherapy effect improvement...]

After reviewing these special buffs, Su Yang did not overthink it and directly chose Psychotherapy Effect Improvement.

[Ding~ Your psychological counseling company has received a 15% increase in psychotherapy effectiveness.]

[spirit Soothing (Talent): Provides a certain bonus effect when comforting others.]

[Note: Personal charm, personal affinity, mutual trust, and other factors can also provide strong bonus effects to spirit Soothing.]

Su Yang glanced at this talent but didn't pay much attention to it.

[Ding~ The number of employees in your Shangxin Psychological Counseling Company has exceeded ten. You have received an achievement reward: 2 spirit points, the spirit Healing talent, and your psychological counseling company will receive a permanent buff.]

[1. Communication ability improvement, 2. Psychological analysis ability improvement, 3. Affinity improvement, 4. Learning ability improvement, 5. Professional ethics improvement...]

Once Shangxin Psychological Counseling Company was established, it already had over ten full-time employees.

Among them were administrative staff, as well as the psychological counselors Su Yang had recruited.

There were also several talented, high-achieving students who intended to enter the psychological counseling industry.

Su Yang pondered for a moment and directly chose Affinity Improvement.

The others could be acquired through acquired training, but affinity is something hard to grasp!

[Ding~ Your psychological counseling company has received a 30% increase in psychotherapy effectiveness and a 15% increase in affinity.]

[spirit Healing (Talent): You possess a talent for soothing people's hearts. When you comfort others, you receive a strong bonus effect, and all psychological trauma will be alleviated to a certain extent.]

[Note: Personal charm, personal affinity, mutual trust, and other factors can also provide strong bonus effects to spirit Soothing.]

"This actually seems quite interesting!"

Su Yang nodded as he looked at this special spirit talent.

Although this talent wasn't very useful, it was at least quite interesting.

Finally, Su Yang added the 3 newly acquired spirit points to his attribute panel.

Nowadays, Su Yang's basic physical attribute panel was already quite magnificent.

[spirit]: 33

[constitution]: 42

[Strength]: 48

[agility]: 23

[Charm]: 29

Su Yang's spirit attribute, which had once been his weakest, had quickly caught up after he successively acquired Hongyu Law Firm, Yulong Technology, and Yanhu Education.

Now, the one lagging behind was agility!

To be honest, seeing these exaggerated physical attributes, Su Yang felt a bit helpless.

If he were placed in ancient times, after training, he would surely become a peerless warrior charging into battle!

But since he lived in a country with excellent public security, these abnormal physical attributes had no place to be used... He could only exert them on women, which was truly using a butcher's knife to slaughter a chicken!

After Shangxin Psychological Counseling Company was established, Su Yang transferred ten million into the subsidiary's account.

Next, Lu Chengjun only needed to recall his former subordinates and accept the talents Su Yang had recruited, and the psychological counseling company could open for business.

On Monday, Jufan Holdings held another meeting for subsidiary heads!

Su Yang first introduced Lu Chengjun to everyone, then briefly listened to the development situation of each company.

Talks over at Fengyuan were going smoothly; the acquisition of Chang'an Yuanda Ming Food Ingredients should be completed within this month.

Meijia Housekeeping and Hongyu Law Firm were in similar situations; their acquisition work in Shancheng was progressing smoothly.

It should be wrapped up this month!

Housekeeping companies and law firms generally didn't have much in the way of fixed assets, and the prices weren't high, making them slightly easier to acquire.

Spark Fitness had acquired one large gym, one medium-sized gym, and two small gyms in Lin City.

Added to that were three large gyms, one medium-sized gym, and five small gyms in Rongcheng.

And one large gym, two medium-sized gyms, and seven small gyms in Shancheng...

Spark Fitness already owned twenty-three gyms and had also set up offices in Lin City and Shancheng, which was a quite good pace of development.

Recently, Spark Fitness planned to conduct internal restructuring of the acquired gyms.

Over at Jiuxiang Catering, all twenty-three Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurant locations were open, and Su Yang didn't plan to continue opening hotpot restaurants in Shancheng for the time being.

The location for the fourteenth branch of Weimeijia had been confirmed, which was probably reaching the limit.

This wasn't the limit of market capacity, but the limit of Jiuxiang Catering.

If Xu Zhu and the others were willing to participate, Su Yang could probably open a few more.

In Lin City, seven hotpot restaurant locations had been confirmed, and most were under renovation.

Weimeijia was also investing in building a central kitchen.

As for Jiuxiang Food, negotiations with Chuanhe Edible Oil Company and Shuxiang Doubanjiang Factory were going smoothly.

Tan Yanghong had communicated with the bosses of both companies in advance.

As long as the price was right, they would definitely sell.

Finally, there was Spark Media.

Yu Siying had already identified several management talents and teams within the company.

They would set off for the North and Modu this month.

Modu was fine; the more difficult part might be the North.

However, Spark Media had enough patience to develop slowly.

Moreover, Spark Media wasn't without a foundation in the North.

Back when they signed Ji Lanjun, Spark Media had already set up an office in the North!

Although this office only had two or three people, it was specifically configured for Ji Lanjun.

Ji Lanjun had been developing very well recently.

Due to her unique niche and the promotion of relatively positive traditional ancient martial arts culture, she was already a well-known internet celebrity locally and was frequently invited by local officials and enterprises to attend tourism promotions and ribbon-cutting events.

Once the Spark Media management team arrived and integrated things slightly, they could recruit some local talent and establish a branch company.

Most of the team members sent to the North by Spark Media were also Northerners.

Actually, quite a few Northerners had moved south for development, and when Su Yang was vigorously expanding Spark Media's staff, he had also attracted some employees from the North.

Su Yang didn't intend to blow up the Northern branch too large in one go; developing slowly was fine.

Mainly, he had previously found some potential internet celebrities in the North.

However, they weren't very willing to come to Rongcheng to develop and just wanted to stay in their hometowns.

Because of this, Su Yang had lost quite a few talents!

"Boss, is our rule of giving a 500 bonus for every internet celebrity with a million followers at Spark Media becoming a bit outdated?" Yu Siying reminded him again. "Our company now has over a thousand employees, and the number of employees is still increasing!"

"Hmm!"

Su Yang nodded, signaling Yu Siying to continue.

"Every time a million-follower internet celebrity appears, we pay out over 500,000 in bonuses, but it might take us a year or a year and a half to earn over 500,000 from one million-follower internet celebrity... Not to mention other training and promotion expenses!"

"What do you think?"

Competition among internet celebrities was currently extremely fierce; it wasn't as profitable as before.

Strictly speaking, this bonus setup was indeed unreasonable.

It was mainly because Su Yang had the Business Deduction cheat, which was why he dared to do this!

"The appearance of every million-follower internet celebrity is indeed due to the contribution of every employee in the company. I know the boss wants to emphasize the importance of every employee, but this has indeed become a burden on the company. Most internet celebrities can only earn money for a few years, and our company's base salary and performance pay are already the best in Rongcheng!" Yu Siying thought for a moment and said, "I think the team bonus should remain unchanged, with team members still getting 10,000, but the bonus for other employees should be cut from 500 to 100. This is a more appropriate number."

Su Yang frowned and thought for a moment. "Do you think the employees can accept it?"

Yu Siying's proposal was reasonable and well-founded, without any major issues!

Yu Siying: "As long as it's explained clearly, they should be able to accept it!"

Su Yang rubbed his chin, thinking of those employees at Spark Media. After a long while, he said, "Let's just cancel the bonuses!"

Yu Siying looked at her boss in surprise, not expecting him to cancel the bonuses directly!

She had originally intended to cut it to 100, planning to let the boss bargain.

After all, she knew the boss was always very good to his employees!

"This is indeed becoming unreasonable. If the number of employees reaches 3,000, then according to the rules, every time a million-follower internet celebrity appears, we have to pay out 1.5 million in bonuses at once!" Su Yang said helplessly. "1.5 million. If we encounter a million-follower creator who mainly focuses on Bilibili, they might not even earn that much money for the company in three years."

"That's true!"

Yu Siying nodded.

Since the drastic reduction in creative incentives, many creators and streamers on Bilibili had turned to Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and other platforms.

In terms of commercial value, Bilibili had always lagged behind Douyin and Xiaohongshu.

But some creators had unique styles that were hard to adapt to other platforms.

Spark Media operated across all platforms and couldn't abandon this one.

"How about this! We can't let the employees lose out too much either!" Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "Let's have the employees participate in profit sharing instead! From now on, we will settle once at the end of every year. After paying the year-end bonuses, we will distribute a portion of the profits as bonuses."

"Ah?"

Yu Siying stared blankly at Su Yang.

The other senior executives present also looked at Su Yang with some surprise.

Ji Guoxiong, however, was calm and collected, not finding it strange at all!

Su Yang smiled at Yu Siying. "Is there a problem?"

"No... No problem!"

Yu Siying was wondering why the boss was so quick to cut employee bonuses, as it didn't fit his persona... So that was where he was waiting for her!

Su Yang considered it and continued, "Starting from next year, we will settle the dividends once a year. After setting aside funds for operations, development, and risk management, we will take 19% of the remainder to distribute as bonuses to all company employees. Department managers will get 0.5% each, and you general managers and deputy general managers will get an additional 5%, 3%, and 3% in dividends according to your equity proportions. Then our headquarters will also participate in the dividends!"

"No problem!"

Yu Siying naturally had no problem with that. Anyway, the profit sharing the boss gave to employees came out of his own pocket.

Su Yang glanced at Ji Guoxiong. "Jiuxiang Catering should do the same, but the profit I share with your Spark Media employees will be less, since Spark Media has higher profits and I have other companies that need to develop!"

Yu Siying smiled. "You're already very generous to give 19% of the profits to everyone, Boss!"

"You are the ones managing the companies, and it's the employees who are working hard. I haven't put in much effort!"

Su Yang was telling the truth. Apart from the time he dealt with the poaching crisis, he rarely went to Spark Media.

He also almost never participated in the daily management of Spark Media!

The work he did most regarding Spark Media every day was probably spending ten minutes reviewing the internet celebrities recommended by Spark Media...

Yu Siying said sincerely, "What are you talking about? You are the pillar of our company, Boss!"

She knew very well that in terms of strategy and vision, her boss was absolutely monstrous!

In the eyes of Yu Siying and many employees, Spark Media's ability to develop so well was 90% due to Su Yang's vision!

Although Su Yang didn't participate in specific business management, she felt great!

"That's it then!" Su Yang interrupted Yu Siying and continued, "Come up with a detailed distribution plan. Below department managers, distribute according to job rank. Don't make the gaps between levels too large, and for the same level, distribute according to the company's performance indicators. Those who work hard and have strong abilities should get more. More work, more pay—that's the rule. We can't have everyone eating from the same pot!"

"Alright!"

"As for you senior executives, in addition to the profit sharing, I will consider giving you more from my own side as appropriate!"

Yu Siying was overjoyed. "Thank you, Boss!"

Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "Also, help me explain the bonus matter to the employees!"

"If they know they can also get dividends and bonuses, they will definitely understand!"

Yu Siying just wanted to say that since the boss had already done this much, was an explanation even needed?

Those who were unwilling could just resign, and she wouldn't stop them!

With a boss like this, she, Yu Siying, could stay loyal for a lifetime!
