411: Chapter 411 I can make shareholders cry! And earn a small sponsorship fee!

"Of course I am!" Su Yang said with a smile.

If Zhang Linghui wanted to acquire shares in Jiuxiang Food, Su Yang would definitely hesitate.

But if it were Chizhu Wine Industry, that could be considered.

As long as he could retain controlling interest, Su Yang didn't mind cooperating with large companies.

Under his Fengyuan, the subsidiaries all had partnerships with others.

As long as he held control, he wasn't afraid of any shareholder causing trouble.

He was a business genius who could turn the notoriously profitable provincial higher vocational education sector into a loss-making one!

If he truly got ruthless, he could make minority shareholders question their lives and cry their eyes out in the bathroom.

However, he changed the subject: "But what can you offer me, Mr. Zhang? Let's be clear, I'm not short on funds. I've already promised the local authorities that I will invest another 300 million into Chizhu Wine Industry."

"Hmm!" Zhang Linghui frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then smiled. "You're right. There's no need to rush into a partnership. We can talk about it slowly."

He clearly didn't want to just be a minor shareholder, but with hundreds of millions in funds involved, Zhang Linghui had to consider it carefully.

He was currently in a state of retirement. Although his eldest son had taken over the group company, the group wasn't entirely the Zhang family's group!

He could scrape together over a hundred million, but what Su Yang wanted wasn't money.

Many resources could only be provided by group companies.

He had started out in the baijiu industry, so naturally, he would pay attention to the wine industry.

In recent years, the baijiu industry had cooled down, so he had to consider the group's diversification.

Although the domestic wine industry wasn't doing great and was being hit hard by imported wines, it was still worth considering for future positioning.

Most importantly, he wanted to invest in Su Yang as a person!

Yang Jingshan thought very highly of Su Yang, and he felt that Su Yang was a good person.

Especially when Su Yang asked him earlier what he could bring to the wine company—that showed the true spirit of a young man!

"Very well!" Su Yang said with a smile. "I am very happy to cooperate with you, Mr. Zhang!"

"Mr. Su, can I participate a little?" Yang Jingshan asked from the side with a smile.

"Of course you can!" Su Yang didn't refuse anyone; anyway, he had said he wasn't short on funds.

If Yang Jingshan wanted to buy in, he had to bring something substantial to the table.

Besides, Su Yang reckoned he didn't have much money anyway!

Zhang Linghui shifted the topic slightly: "I heard that you came to Luhu Group this time to solicit sponsorship, Little Su?"

"Our TV drama can provide advertising for Luhu Group!"

Su Yang briefly explained the situation regarding the crew of "only you in the whole world".

Zhang Linghui narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Are you sure it's not because you want to save on location filming fees?"

Su Yang laughed: "How could that be? Our crew has an 80 million investment and an A-list actress as the lead; we don't care about such small money!"

To tell the truth, he actually cared quite a bit!

If they rented locations from other high-end villa communities, they might not necessarily be willing to open up.

Even if they did open up, they would definitely want to be paid.

But by providing advertising for them, it was they who would pay him.

With back and forth, that could be a difference of several million.

Spending those millions on the TV drama production might just raise the quality by a small notch.

Of course, he was also taking the opportunity to expand his network, since everyone lived in the same community.

Su Yang didn't expect these connections to provide him with any help; it was just about getting familiar faces.

Perhaps there would be business cooperation in the future; even getting some advertising orders for Spark Media would be nice!

Many large companies spend hundreds of millions, even over a billion, on advertising and marketing every year.

Spark Media wasn't very big right now, so nibbling on the scraps was fine too!

Of course, if these big shots were ever short on cash flow and thought of him when selling off their assets, that would be even better!

Like Yanhu Education, for example!

Alright! Su Yang admitted he was a bit unscrupulous; it seemed like he wasn't wishing anyone well!

Zhang Linghui looked Su Yang over again and didn't find any flaws in him, so he took a sip of tea and said: "If the TV drama can be broadcast on satellite TV, how about giving you two million? The equestrian center, golf course, tennis courts, water amusement park... can all be opened to your crew. Property management will cooperate with you, but don't disturb other residents, and the group will have to see the filming results."

"That works!"

When Su Yang left, he was naturally satisfied.

He also met the property manager, Shao Yibin, so he could contact him when the crew came to film in the future.

Back at the villa, Su Yang notified Lin Yi!

When Lin Yi heard that Luhu Group was willing to cooperate with the crew's filming and even provided a sponsorship fee, she was extremely happy!

Lin Yi couldn't help but exclaim: "Mr. Su, you are truly amazing!"

A small film company like theirs wouldn't normally be able to get in touch with the behind-the-scenes bosses of such high-end luxury residences.

Moreover, this could save them quite a bit of money, and they could earn a little extra on top! Two million in advertising fees was almost enough to pay the company employees for two months!

Next, Su Yang stepped in once, taking Lin Yi to chat with the general manager of Luhu Group.

Of course, Linyi Film and Television still had to negotiate some details with Luhu Group.

However, both parties with decision-making power had reached an agreement in principle.

Two million wasn't a huge amount of money, so there wouldn't be any problems!

Su Yang also happened to contribute his own villa...

On the afternoon of the day before Fernando's wedding, Su Yang took Yu Chengjun, Tan Yanghong, and Zhang Yunzhong to go there.

Tan Yanghong was mainly there for official business, and Zhang Yunzhong was going to negotiate with Zuba's family.

Su Yang definitely wouldn't interfere in Zuba's affairs.

If Zuba was willing to go to Rongcheng to play football, then the matter of connecting with Zuba's family would definitely be handled by the club.

Arriving in Derong County, Su Yang and his group were received by Hu Shurong, the general manager of Chizhu Wine Industry, Vice General Manager Cai Feiping, and Fernando and his wife.

Su Yang gave Fernando a bottle of Moutai worth 12,000, and Fernando was extremely happy.

Fernando was holding his wedding tomorrow, so he was quite busy today.

However, he still took Zhang Yunzhong to Zuba's house that afternoon.

Su Yang's group was arranged to stay in a luxury suite at the county hotel.

The hotel's decor had distinct local ethnic characteristics and featured an Instagram-worthy viewing balcony.

On the protruding balcony, there was a platform large enough to fit a big bed.

The platform was covered with thick blankets and set with several pretty little pillows.

From here, one could overlook the distant mountains at sunset, including the majestic Gajin Snow Mountain.

After touring Su Yang's suite, Yu Chengjun refused to leave the viewing balcony.

Holding her phone, she kept taking photos of herself with the sunset and the snow-capped mountains in the background.

Su Yang called hotel service, and the staff said the weather was great tonight, so they could have dinner on the balcony while watching the stars.

Su Yang naturally agreed happily.

It seemed he hadn't seen the stars in a long time.

The weather in Rongcheng was beyond words!

In the evening, hearing that Zhang Yunzhong and Fernando were coming back, the starving Su Yang asked the waiter to set up dinner and start charcoal-grilling the lamb chops.

By the time the two sat down, the lamb chops were just grilled to perfection.

They were sizzling with oil and smelled enticing.

The waiter divided the lamb chops for everyone, and Yu Chengjun took the initiative to pour wine for Su Yang, Tan Yanghong, and the others.

"How did it go?"

Zhang Yunzhong couldn't help but sigh: "I told him that if his son made it in football, he could earn a lot of money—an annual salary of over a million was possible. Our club could train his son for free, transfer him to a private high school in Rongcheng, and even arrange a job for him. From then on, his son would belong to our club!"

"And then?"

Su Yang took a bite of lamb chop, and the others started eating too!

Tan Yanghong was also very hungry after the bumpy journey.

Zhang Yunzhong: "He still wanted money!"

Everyone except Su Yang stopped what they were doing.

Su Yang asked curiously: "How much?"

"He wanted 200,000!"

"Then forget it!"

Su Yang put down the lamb chop, gently swirled the wine brewed by Chizhu Winery in his hand, and took a sip.

The wine had a rich taste, rich tannins, moderate acidity, and a full body, with hints of black fruit, green pepper, and a subtle coffee and smoky flavor.

Emmmm... those were exactly the adjectives!

The taste of meat in his mouth neutralized the astringency of the wine, leaving a refreshing feeling.

At the same time, the aroma of the wine and the meat neutralized each other on his taste buds, achieving a complementary effect...

He sat on the thick, soft blanket on the hotel balcony.

Looking up at the starry sky, he felt relaxed and happy.

Su Yang's trusted aides all quieted down, not saying a word!

Yu Chengjun secretly glanced at Su Yang beside her.

She felt that his effortless demeanor at this moment was just too charming!
