Chapter 427: Acquiring Weimingda Fitness! Su Yang and Xu Tianfu Exchange Catering Insights!

Weimingda's gym operations in Yangcheng were slightly better than in the inland, but only marginally so!

The economy here was indeed developed and there were many wealthy people, but the rent costs were also very high.

However, Su Yang didn't care; he could definitely hold out!

He wasn't worried about a lack of business either; Weimingda only had fifteen gyms between Yangcheng and Shenzhen.

In Shenzhen alone, there were over two thousand gyms.

With the operational foundation Weimingda had built previously, even if businesses were to go under, his would definitely be the last to close!

After Su Yang finished touring and seeing the night view of the famous 'Big Cockroach Tower' online, he returned to the Weimingda Hotel to see Gao Qiang and nearly thirty people behind him coming to greet him:

“Boss, Secretary Yu, long time no see!”

“Hello, Boss!”

“Hello, Boss!”

“...”

The group of people greeting Su Yang caused customers entering and leaving the hotel to glance over slightly!

This group had a strong presence, and several of them had bulging muscles.

The one leading them didn't look like a good person either!

“Hello, everyone!” Su Yang looked at the crowd and smiled. “Have you all had dinner?”

Gao Qiang smiled and said, “As per your instructions, Boss, we've all eaten!”

Yu Chengjun stood obediently behind Su Yang.

She still had an impression of Gao Qiang; he was one of the boss's confidants at Spark Fitness!

Seeing that the group looked a bit tired, Su Yang said, “Everyone, go back to your rooms and rest. We'll have a small meeting tomorrow. Gao Qiang, you stay!”

“Okay, Boss!”

After the group dispersed to their hotel rooms, Su Yang looked at Gao Qiang's still-burly physique and said:

“Not bad, your muscle mass hasn't decreased!”

Gao Qiang said proudly, “I've been working out hard!”

“It's just that your hair seems to be getting a bit thin!”

Gao Qiation rubbed his hair awkwardly. “I'll shave it all off some other day!”

“Keep it for a while longer,” Su Yang shook his head and said. “Shaving it all off would scare the young girls!”

“Fine, for the boss, I'm willing to keep my hair!”

That sounded a bit off!

Yu Chengjun stood to the side, pursing her lips to hide a smile.

Su Yang then found a place to sit with Gao Qiang. “This time, the gyms on Weimingda's side might need your guidance. You'll need to put in more effort!”

Gao Qiang's ability was quite good, he was trustworthy, and he was ambitious!

Gao Qiang said with full vigor, “No problem, I'm willing to go through fire and water for you, Boss!”

Su Yang nodded. “Of course, your salary will be increased!”

Gao Qiang said with a grin, “Boss, talking about money is too vulgar!”

Su Yang asked seriously, “Then would you be willing to do things for me without a salary?”

Gao Qiang was stuck.

Seeing his expression, Su Yang then laughed. “I'm just joking with you!”

The next morning, Su Yang held a small meeting in the conference room provided by the hotel with Yi Jiangang, Gao Qiang, and the Spark Fitness employees who had rushed over from Rongcheng.

Most of the employees transferred from Rongcheng and Shancheng this time were relatively young.

They had very high loyalty and also firmly believed in Spark Fitness's business philosophy!

Coupled with the pay raises and subsidies Su Yang promised, they all seemed very motivated!

That afternoon, Yi Jiangang officially signed the acquisition agreement with Xu Tianfu, the Chairman and General Manager of Weimingda Group.

As for Su Yang, he stood to the side and did not attend the ceremony.

Xu Tianfu had informed him beforehand that local media would be invited to the signing ceremony.

Su Yang stated that he wanted to keep a low profile, and Xu Tianfu expressed his understanding.

Some businessmen liked to appear in front of the media, but some preferred to stay low-key.

In the end, Spark Fitness acquired Weimingda Fitness Company under Weimingda Group for thirty million. The contract also emphasized that Spark Fitness would provide follow-up services for the original members of Weimingda Fitness!

In fact, even if Xu Tianfu hadn't invited the local media, Su Yang would have!

Spark Fitness still needed publicity!

After the signing ceremony, the local media also interviewed Yi Jiangang.

The well-prepared Yi Jiangang gave a lot of praise to Guangdong Province and Shenzhen, appearing very polite!

Of course, praising Guangdong and Shenzhen was perfectly fine.

The economy here was strong, and the business environment was excellent!

Anyway, the local reporters felt quite good listening to it.

Afterward, Yi Jiangang didn't forget to promote the corporate culture of Xinghuo Fitness.

Finally, Spark Fitness didn't forget to give the reporters a generous travel allowance, as they had come from quite a distance after all.

They also included promotional materials brought by Spark Media; if the reporters found it hard to write their stories, they could just copy them. Spark Media certainly wouldn't mind!

Perhaps feeling happy after shedding Weimingda Fitness, Xu Tianfu invited Su Yang, Yi Jiangang, Gao Qiang, and the former General Manager of Weimingda Fitness, Dong Ziwei, to dinner that evening.

After the meal and drinks, Xu Tianfu took the initiative to chat with Su Yang: “I heard that President Su's Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurant is doing very well?”

While Su Yang was learning about Weimingda Group, Weimingda Group was also gradually finding out about the background of Jufan Holdings.

The more he investigated, the more Xu Tianfu felt that Su Yang was not a simple person!

After all, he was also involved in the catering and fitness industries, and he knew how difficult these two industries were right now.

Su Yang asked with a smile, “Doesn't President Xu run a Cantonese cuisine chain? Are you also interested in hotpot restaurants?”

“Mainly, I want to learn from you. We're both in the catering business, so let's exchange some ideas!”

Xu Tianfu didn't hide anything; he was a very pragmatic person!

He was quite willing to seek advice from those who could achieve results and had talent.

Su Yang thought for a moment and said, “I presume President Xu has also looked into our Jiuxiang Hotpot chain?”

“I have indeed!”

“The service and taste of our Jiuxiang Hotpot are both top-tier!”

“Mm.”

Xu Tianfu nodded.

His friends in Rongcheng and Shancheng all said the same thing!

“Regarding service, we mainly focus on enhancing the happiness of our employees!” Su Yang said solemnly. “If the employees are unhappy or irritable, how can they possibly face customers with a smile and provide the best service, right?”

“Right!”

The reasoning was sound; Xu Tianfu understood!

“Then what is the treatment like for your ordinary servers?”

“The salary for servers in the main urban area of Rongcheng is around seven thousand. In peak season, it can reach eight thousand or even higher. We provide social security and include room and board!”

Xu Tianfu took a deep breath and said, “How does that feel higher than the salary of Guodilao servers in Shenzhen?”

Su Yang explained, “Consumption in Rongcheng is quite high, and everyone loves eating hotpot!”

“Then how many days off a month? Four days?”

“Hotpot restaurant employees take turns resting from Monday to Friday. They generally don't take days off on Saturdays, Sundays, or public holidays!”

“Huh?” Xu Tianfu looked at Su Yang in surprise. “Are you sure?”

“Of course, everyone knows about it!”

Yi Jiangang nodded beside him. “The ordinary servers at Jiuxiang Hotpot indeed have this treatment!”

Gao Qiang also hurriedly said, “I can testify to that. It's true. The girls at Jiuxiang Hotpot are especially enthusiastic!”

Su Yang glanced at Gao Qiang. Gao Qiang immediately shrank his neck and hurriedly lowered his head to drink tea.

Xu Tianfu asked in disbelief, “Two days off a week? How did you manage that?”

“It's simple: hire more employees!” Su Yang smiled proudly. “With more employees, can't they have more time off?”
