405: Chapter 405: Guaranteeing a minimum return for a former high-quality client!

He never intended for all students to enter the factory; only those who performed well in school, had no disciplinary violations, and possessed no bad habits would be eligible.

Work at Jiuxiang Food would simply serve as a safety net for the students.

They had, after all, paid Su Yang no less than 20,000 yuan each year, providing him with a significant amount of cash flow. As former "premium" clients, Su Yang certainly felt inclined to offer them some preferential treatment.

If they could find jobs in their respective fields or opportunities with better prospects, there would be no need for them to stay at Jiuxiang Food as general laborers—the ceiling for general labor was indeed low.

However, Jiuxiang Food could serve as a stopover in their lives!

They could work at Jiuxiang Food while searching for other employment.

Or they could accumulate some savings, which would help alleviate their anxiety!

Su Yang did not mind if they resigned, and he would have the school make this clear to the students.

If they chose to stay, Su Yang would actually welcome them!

At the very least, in terms of quality, this batch of vocational students was generally superior to the older generation.

By training them from the moment they entered the factory, they could strictly adhere to the factory's production processes.

Furthermore, there were government subsidies for hiring fresh graduates.

Although he hadn't cared much for those subsidies in the past, he didn't mind picking up some extra benefits now!

After spending a pleasant evening with Tao Xue and Hao Yue, Su Yang rushed to Jiuxiang Food the next morning for an inspection and to chat with Tan Yanghong.

Tan Yanghong did not object to purchasing more equipment to expand production capacity.

In any case, production capacity could be estimated.

Even if they didn't need to produce that many snacks when the time came... at worst, they could stop the two-shift system and let the workers stick to a regular nine-to-five schedule. In any case, he knew the boss wouldn't mind!

He truly understood his boss's style of doing things!

As for Chizhu Wine Industry, Tan Yanghong would notify them by phone.

The wine company's account still had over ten million, and if that wasn't enough, they could apply to Jiuxiang Food.

Consequently, Su Yang transferred thirty million to Jiuxiang Food's account that very day!

In the afternoon, Yi Jiangang brought the Meteor Football Club's general manager, Xie Yuxiang, and head coach, Zhang Yunzhong, to report on their progress.

This time, Su Yang learned that the football club's training classes had already begun.

They had recently recruited over twenty children.

The football department had been developing quite well recently; as far as Su Yang knew, the number of paid members had already exceeded one thousand!

Many of those twenty-some children were directly the offspring of the club's original members...

Su Yang hadn't expected that the club could finish harvesting the previous generation and then move on to the next!

The club's executives were also very diligent and responsible, not giving Su Yang much to worry about!

Su Yang asked about their needs, and to his surprise... they had none!

After Su Yang pressed them repeatedly, Xie Yuxiang finally indicated that their only potential need was a football field.

The number of football fields in Rongcheng was relatively high.

The fields used by the club were all rented in advance by contacting the venues, with fees calculated by the hour.

However, if the club could have a relatively fixed, standard football field, it would be much more convenient to arrange matches for club members, and it would also make training the children much easier!

Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "If you find a suitable place in the city to build a football field, we can consider building a standard one. You should be the expert in this area!"

He currently had plenty of money, and if the price was right, he didn't mind building a football field.

Xie Yuxiang said happily, "Alright, Boss, I will keep an eye out!"

"If there is a club that owns a football field available for acquisition, you can also try to make contact!"

"Understood!"

On the 11th, Su Yang arrived at Yanhu Vocational School to check the construction progress of the teaching building.

Then, he inquired with the school management about the students' employment situation and the upcoming spring recruitment fair!

Su Yang hadn't expected that he would have to worry about the school's spring recruitment.

In the past, it was always the schools calling to invite their companies to participate!

However, employment for vocational students was generally easier than for regular undergraduates.

At the very least, most of them possessed marketable professional skills.

Students who were taught well by the school and studied with a modicum of seriousness could start working the moment they stepped out of school.

Their salary expectations were not as high as those of undergraduates, and they were relatively more stable!

Su Yang also informed Chen Qingzhou and the others about the situation at Jiuxiang Food, putting their minds a little more at ease!

Chen Qingzhou asked in a low voice, "Boss, how many people can Jiuxiang Food hire?"

Su Yang pondered for a moment: "Five hundred is definitely doable, and a thousand isn't impossible, though if we hire too many, the pressure on Jiuxiang Food will be quite high!"

If he hired too many, he would have to consider aggressive marketing, hiring spokespeople, and buying advertisements to digest the production capacity.

Song Xiang, Xu Zhuohui, Xu Yunxiao, Lv Guangting, and the others looked at each other in dismay.

This absorption capacity was simply too terrifying.

It was almost enough to take on all their graduates!

Chen Qingzhou asked again, "I remember the salary and benefits for general laborers at Jiuxiang Food are quite high, right?"

Su Yang briefly explained the compensation for general laborers, and Song Xiang couldn't help but remark, "I feel like the compensation package the Boss is offering is even better than what our school teachers used to get. This safety net is a bit too thick!"

Xu Zhuohui couldn't help but nod as well.

He did a quick mental calculation and concluded that the standard compensation for a general laborer at Jiuxiang Food was comparable to many jobs with a monthly salary of ten thousand yuan.

After all, it included five insurances and one housing fund, plus room and board.

Most importantly, it was an eight-hour workday, and it was double-off, damn it!

Even if they went to a first-tier city and managed to find a job with a monthly salary of ten thousand, the cost-performance ratio was nowhere near as good as Jiuxiang Food, because they wouldn't have much money left over!

Xu Zhuohui said in a low voice, "Boss, if the pressure on Jiuxiang Food is too high, I suggest waiting until July or August to tell the students, otherwise they might not go out to look for other jobs at all!"

He knew that Jiuxiang Food had been developing very well recently and had even made the news.

But he was genuinely worried that the boss would collapse Jiuxiang Food just to find jobs for the school's graduates.

Although he wasn't part of Jiuxiang Food, he still hoped that the boss's business would go smoothly!

Earn more, earn big, after all, this person was just a bit too conscientious!

"That is indeed the case. Boss, you should still consider the carrying capacity of Jiuxiang Food. Let's wait until July or August to consider the remaining students who haven't found work. In the beginning, it's better to just help them find jobs in their relevant fields as usual," Chen Qingzhou also advised, "And there is still a ceiling for general laborers."

"That works too! I will have the headquarters coordinate with you. The headquarters has some influence now, after all!" Su Yang nodded, "But you all need to work hard on your end as well!"

"No problem, Boss!"

"This is what we should do!"

"Exactly! Exactly!"

"..."

However, when Su Yang was about to leave Yanhu Vocational School, Chen Qingzhou still expressed his concerns regarding the school's working capital.

"How much is still missing?"

Su Yang asked directly.

Chen Qingzhou said helplessly, "It's not missing now; including the construction payments, we should be able to hold out until around July or August!"

"July or August? Isn't that still a long way off?" Su Yang could only say that vocational education was still too profitable, "When you need money, tell me two months in advance!"

"Alright, Boss!"

Seeing Su Yang so calm and composed, Chen Qingzhou felt relieved!
