383: Chapter 383 Wine! Red Pearl Wine!

Su Yang quickly dispatched Liu Fei, the deputy manager of the company's newly established Mergers and Acquisitions Department, to lead a team and assist Yu Siying with the acquisition of Linyi Film and Television.

Liu Fei was a talent who had emerged during the recent series of acquisition activities at Jufan Holdings, and his loyalty to the company had reached 80.

He originally worked under Liu Xueqin in the Finance Department before being transferred by Su Yang to the Mergers and Acquisitions Department to serve as deputy manager.

Besides that, many people who frequently participated in the headquarters' acquisition work and demonstrated certain capabilities were promoted by Su Yang.

As for the manager position of the Mergers and Acquisitions Department, it was still in the recruitment phase.

Meanwhile, Yi Jiangang also spread word in the fitness circle that the headquarters would continue to heavily invest in Spark Fitness, and that Spark Fitness intended to acquire more fitness chains to expand its business scale.

For a time, many struggling fitness chains across the country turned their attention to Spark Fitness, a fitness chain brand that was small but had an excellent reputation and was expanding very rapidly.

On the third day after Lin Yi made up her mind to sell herself to Jufan Holdings, Hu Bin arrived at Spark Fitness. Upon opening the Spark Fitness software, he received a small survey that popped up on the Spark Fitness app.

This had gradually become a habit for him.

Every time he exercised, he would open the app, record the calories he burned, and then share it to the community to compete for the weekly, monthly, and yearly workout rankings among friends.

He had added quite a few fellow members as friends at this gym, all of whom loved fitness.

There were also a few young ladies... or rather, young aunts, with very good figures!

He liked this app; the interface was clean, the operation was simple, and there were no ads.

He could set workout reminders and goals, and it could record everything from hiking and walking to cycling!

Just as he subconsciously wanted to close the survey form that had suddenly popped up, he noticed that it was a survey regarding the establishment of a football club.

A football club?

He did have a colleague who was indeed a football fan and would stay up late to watch the European Cup and the World Cup, but he wasn't!

His knowledge of football was limited to jokes about the national team's inability to shoot for ninety minutes, "diplomatic football," the "sea cucumber team," and the cycle of losing to various opponents. He also knew that criticizing the Football Association was politically correct.

He also knew a few world-class football stars with very high profiles!

However, he was not averse to football; on the contrary, he was somewhat interested.

Occasionally, when he saw people playing football on the pitch, he also had the thought of going up and kicking a few times.

But he had no foundation, didn't know those playing football, and was certainly no social butterfly, so he didn't dare to proactively go up and start a conversation.

But if Spark Fitness were to establish a football club, he would be somewhat interested.

He still had great faith in the capabilities of Spark Fitness!

He calmed down and began to carefully read the survey form.

Then he realized that among the member clients of Spark Fitness, many hoped that Spark Fitness could establish a football club to organize everyone to play football together or arrange matches with other amateur teams.

After receiving feedback from customers, the senior management of Spark Fitness decided to survey how many member clients wanted to play football to assess the possibility of operating a football club.

Not bad!

This was truly the style of Spark Fitness; they were quite thoughtful towards their customers!

So he began to fill out the survey form, from age to gender, from whether he was interested in playing football, to how many matches he wanted to play per week, to how much membership fee he was willing to pay for the club each month, and whether he was willing to accept training from professional coaches, etc...

If one selected "No" for "Do you want to play football?", the survey ended there.

As for how much to pay each month, he thought for a moment and chose "100"; it couldn't be any more than that!

In the "Other suggestions" section, he added: "I like badminton, can you start a badminton club?"

Finally, he clicked submit!

Looking up, he saw several other clients at the gym also filling out the survey form.

At the same time, Meng Xiaobing called over his male assistant and said: "Have all the employees in the company who are members of Spark Fitness fill out support for forming a football club on the Spark Fitness app!"

"Alright, boss!"

"When the time comes, we can go play football together, and we won't have to worry about being unable to form a team or finding opponents!"

"Alright!"

The young male assistant nodded with a smile.

He and Meng Xiaobing had actually met on the football pitch!

Meng Xiaobing thought for a moment and then called Wang Long.

Upon hearing this, Wang Long expressed his willingness to help rally his employees; there were actually people in his company who liked football as well.

"However, why don't you form a football club yourself?"

"Spark Fitness is more professional!" Meng Xiaobing said with a smile, "And forming a football team is quite mentally draining... Mixing hobbies with business isn't necessarily a good thing."

"That makes sense!"

"Sorry to bother you, Wang Long!"

"It's just a small matter!" Wang Long said with a chuckle, "I might as well play a little!"

"That would naturally be welcome!"

"But I've never learned it before!"

"No worries, a formal club has professional football coaches; you'll learn it in no time!"

"..."

Su Yang stood on a small hill at Yanhu Vocational School, watching a truck transport various building materials to a temporary material storage area.

Liu Jianda stood beside Su Yang; besides him, there was also Xu Xiangyang, the General Manager of Dongcheng Real Estate, the project manager Wei Xiong, and the principal Chen Qingzhou.

Liu Jianda said with a smile: "Chairman Su, all the workers will be on-site very soon; there will definitely be no delays!"

Last time Liu Jianda helped Yang Jingshan sell the villa, he had actually received a kickback of 500,000 from Yang Jingshan.

Initially, he didn't want to accept it, but Yang Jingshan insisted on giving it to him and even said he would owe him a favor.

This put Liu Jianda in a very good mood!

A favor from Yang Jingshan was definitely worth much more than one million!

Therefore, when the project started this time and Liu Jianda heard that Su Yang had come to the school, he put down his work and found the General Manager of Dongcheng Real Estate to come over for a visit together.

Su Yang emphasized: "You must also ensure quality!"

Liu Jianda said with a smile: "That's definitely not a problem; we will use the money where it matters most!"

"If the teaching building and the playground are built well, I'll come to you again for future business!" Su Yang said with a smile, "And don't worry about the money; I'm not short of money!"

"No problem, Chairman Su!"

Ever since Su Yang bought Luhu Villa, Liu Jianda had begun to look up to Su Yang.

Nothing else... he who has money is the boss!

"General Manager Xu, Chairman Su is friends with our group company's Chairman Jin and Chairman Yang Jingshan, so you need to take this project seriously!"

Xu Xiangyang said solemnly: "No problem, Director Liu!"

Although Xu Xiangyang was the General Manager of Dongcheng Real Estate and could be considered a high-ranking official within the group, he still had to show respect to the group company's Chief Financial Officer, not to mention the Chairman!

After Liu Jianda and Xu Xiangyang left, Su Yang chatted with Chen Qingzhou and asked him to have the security guards keep a close eye on the workers at the construction site.

Especially the girls' dormitory... after all, there were precedents for this!

Chen Qingzhou nodded, indicating that he would take it seriously.

Just as Spark Media was negotiating with Lin Yi, good news also came from Jiuxiang Food.

Tan Yanghong had reached a preliminary acquisition agreement with the chizhu Winery in Derong County, Ganzhou.
