414: Chapter 414 Acquisition of a Model Agency! Progress on Other Acquisition Projects! Playing Mahjong!
"We cannot rely solely on imported oak barrels!" Su Yang said again. "We need to try to brew wine with a local Chinese flavor. If we keep using French imported oak barrels, it will just be a replica of French wine!"
Fernando nodded: "Boss, we can try using some local oak barrels!"
Subsequently, Su Yang discussed a series of changes, emphasizing a playful and unconventional approach!
He even planned to draw water from the snowy mountains, aiming for brewing with pure highland snow water!
By the end, Fernando was getting a bit frantic: "Boss, this seems a bit too reckless!"
"Fernando, this is called experimentation!" Su Yang said very patiently. "You can find the change that produces the best flavor among these, and then continuously make improvements. Isn't winemaking a process of constant exploration, experimentation, and innovation?"
"Uh..."
"If you are obsessed with traditional French techniques, why don't you go back to France? If you brew French-style wine in China, can you really become a master of a generation?"
Fernando was stunned for a moment, then said: "The boss is indeed making sense!"
"Experiment more, innovate more. Do not be trapped by foreign technology, and do not be constrained by traditional techniques!" Su Yang looked at all the winemakers present and said with a smile. "Also, don't worry about temporary gains or losses. As long as you are experimenting, exploring, and innovating... even failure is beneficial experience. Before we go bankrupt, I will always support everyone!"
The group of winemakers wanted to laugh, but couldn't. Regardless, the way they looked at Su Yang became much more affectionate.
Because they felt that Su Yang, this boss, was very sincere and also valued them!
"Also, in a while, I might invest in renovating the winery. I will hire a feng shui master to check the feng shui, and you all should also invite high monks from Longrong Temple to consecrate our winery!"
The group of executives looked at each other, not expecting the boss to believe in this.
"Boss, are you religious?" Fernando asked in surprise.
Su Yang cleared his throat and said: "I can believe in a little bit of everything!"
When he entered temples or Taoist shrines, he would occasionally burn incense!
"..."
"Anyway, everyone keep up the good work. Once the business of Chizhu Wine Industry gets better, I will give everyone more bonuses!"
"Thank you, Boss!"
"Also, Hu Shurong, you can take advantage of this expansion of the vineyards to recruit more locals as permanent employees!" Su Yang thought for a moment and instructed. "Get the diligent ones, preferably with a certain level of education."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Camille, who hadn't spoken much, suddenly spoke up. "We indeed need some employees with higher education levels, preferably long-term employees. Many local employees lack sufficient cultural knowledge; they only follow our requirements but don't know why they need to do so... It's not refined enough. Moreover, many temporarily hired employees are a bit clumsy, and some are a bit rough with the grapes... But because they are temporary employees, it's not convenient for us to manage and train them."
Hu Shurong worried: "Will the expenses be a bit high this way?"
"It's fine, I have money. Let's just follow Camille's requirements!" Su Yang said with a smile. "I will also take the opportunity to ask if anyone in Rongcheng is willing to come over to grow grapes."
This group of technicians' attitude of striving for excellence made Su Yang quite satisfied!
The next morning, Su Yang brought people back to Rongcheng.
Anyway, he had already finished the preliminary groundwork here in Derong.
In the future, there will be many reasons why the wine brewed will taste better!
Upon returning to Rongcheng, Yu Siying reported to Su Yang that she had taken a liking to several modeling agencies.
Su Yang used Business Deduction a little bit, found a random reason, and picked two modeling agencies for Yu Siying that had a clean background, good brand resources, and could continue operations after the boss left!
Then, not long after, Su Yang received good news.
Spark Fitness had already started acquisition negotiations with Weimingda Fitness Chain!
Weimingda Fitness Chain was still relatively high quality. Even though the fitness industry was in a winter, its losses were not very serious, and it hadn't been selling gym memberships indiscriminately!
However, Weimingda's parent company, Weimingda Group, was still quite well-known locally.
This company mainly engaged in chain catering, clothing production, hotels, chain fitness, and real estate businesses.
Recently, several of Weimingda Group's main businesses were losing money, so they had the idea of selling assets!
Weimingda Gym was exactly one of the assets they wanted to sell off.
Just at this time, Spark Fitness appeared, so they approached Spark Fitness to see if Spark Fitness could take it over!
They could indeed "drain the pond to catch all the fish" regarding the users of Weimingda Fitness Chain!
However, they had a large family business and were almost rooted locally... It wasn't easy to run away!
The reason Weimingda Fitness Chain could have so many customers was also because they believed in the strength of the parent group company.
As long as Spark Fitness could swallow up Weimingda, it could almost be said that the customers would double.
Moreover, the economic environments in Yangcheng and Shencheng were relatively good, and there were more wealthy, high-quality customers!
Fengyuan Ingredients General Manager Qian Xiaochang, with the assistance of the Mergers and Acquisitions Department, also reached a preliminary acquisition intention with Changsha Xingsheng Ingredients, and both sides were now quite sincere.
On Saturday, Su Yang was napping on the sofa in Luhu Villa. The weather was still quite cold, and in his leisure time, he liked to cover himself with a blanket and lie on the sofa.
Not long after, he felt some soft object slowly pressing against him, pressing him so hard he could barely breathe!
Opening his eyes, he saw Hao Yue smiling at him.
This girl had pressed herself directly onto him!
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Su, we are a bit bored!"
"You can go horseback riding! Or go play tennis?"
"It's chilly, I don't really want to go out!"
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Let's play mahjong!"
"Forget it!"
Su Yang had no interest in playing mahjong.
"Brother Su, the two of us can't do it, we're just missing you!"
At this moment, Tao Xue also came over to beg Su Yang.
Su Yang decisively passed the buck: "Ask the nanny to play with you!"
Tao Xue asked back: "Should the nanny win against us? Or lose to us?"
Su Yang thought for a moment and found that the nanny was indeed not suitable to participate.
"Let's watch TV!"
"Brother Su, don't you know other women? Call one over!" Tao Xue said casually. "The three of us can barely play!"
"Are you sure?"
Tao Xue buried her head in Su Yang's chest and said frantically: "I'm just feeling bored!"
Su Yang thought for a moment and then dialed Qin Shuang's phone.
Among the other women he knew, Qin Shuang should be the most tolerant!
Moreover, she also liked to play mahjong in her spare time.
The phone was connected quickly, and Su Yang asked directly: "Sister Qin Shuang, are you free?"
"What's the matter?"
"Come to the villa to play mahjong!"
"Who are you playing with?"
"Other girls I know!"
Over the phone, after a slight silence, Qin Shuang asked in a low voice: "They won't talk nonsense, will they?"
"They won't!"
Qin Shuang hesitated for a moment and said: "Alright then! Anyway, playing with anyone is just playing!"
"Yeah!!"
But she was a bit hesitant again: "Are those girls easy to get along with? Are you sure they won't fight?"
Qin Shuang was a decent person, and she didn't want to get involved in any... conflict!
Su Yang glanced at Tao Xue and Hao Yue and said with a smile: "They are all easy to get along with... If they really start a fight, I will help you spank them!"
