Chapter 438: Routine Meeting! Gradually Investing in Research and Development!

After finishing his talk with Jiang Yan, Su Yang noticed Chen Li's reply.

Chen Li: "I've always wanted to go. Can I take time off?"

Su Yang: "Of course you can. I'll have Old Ji approve it! If you want to go, then come along, but there will be quite a few people this time!"

Chen Li: "Who else is going? Is it convenient?"

Su Yang: "A group of girls... it should be very convenient!"

Chen Li: "..."

Su Yang: "I couldn't help it; they were all clamoring to go!"

Chen Li: "Have they teamed up?"

Su Yang: "I don't think so! They just like hanging out together!"

Chen Li: "I don't believe you for a second!"

Su Yang: "So, are you coming or not?"

Chen Li: "Reserve a spot for me first, I'll think about it!"

Su Yang: "Alright!"

Chen Li put down her phone and lay on the sofa. The more she thought about it, the more she felt she should go!

Besides wanting to travel the Sichuan-Tibet Line, she also wanted to see Su Yang's other women.

At the very least, she needed to assess the situation!

Su Yang took a glance and saw that Yuan Sisi hadn't replied yet, so he ignored it for now.

At that moment, Qin Shuang ran over: "You're planning to go to Lhasa via Route 318?"

“Yes!” Su Yang asked curiously, “Want to go?”

“I've been to Lhasa and Daocheng, but I've never done a road trip on 318!”

“Then do you want to go?”

“But what about the child?”

Su Yang smiled and said, “Perhaps his maternal grandparents can look after him for a while!”

Besides, if his mom left, Anan might actually be even happier!

“I'll consider it!”

Qin Shuang also wanted to go out and have fun!

“Fine!”

Not long after, Su Yang received a reply from Huang Quan.

She also wanted to go... but she was still a bit hesitant, fearing the other women might be hard to get along with!

In short, it seemed they all wanted to go.

Afterward, Su Yang started chatting with Xu Jianbo.

It was decided that Menghai Travel would plan the route for Su Yang, provide guides, and contact reliable car rental companies.

Xu Jianbo told Su Yang that some car rental companies in Rongcheng were very unprofessional and often cheated customers!

Many customers would be careless and fail to notice scratches on the car.

When they returned the car, they would likely have their entire deposit deducted.

Some companies were even more outrageous.

For example, they might cause the rented car to break down halfway, and the repair shops along the way wouldn't be able to fix it.

Others would use GPS to send people to sabotage the car, making it impossible to guard against!

Su Yang needed to prepare his own security personnel.

Su Yang could certainly find reliable security personnel.

At the very least, he had a loyal and dependable security team at Jiuxiang Food!

But had the people in the Mergers and Acquisitions Department found a suitable security company?

He felt it was necessary to cultivate more manpower!

The weekend flew by. At Monday's routine meeting, Su Yang again emphasized the necessity of expansion for each company and required them to start routine recruitment of reserve talent, including R&D personnel.

He wanted talent from all over the country to submit their resumes.

Recruiting needed to be as "diligent" as a local company hiring salespeople!

Every day, the HR employees had to categorize the electronic resumes received the previous day and send them to his email.

This year, tens of millions of students were graduating from university, plus those who had resigned, were unemployed, delivering food, driving for Didi, working as security guards, or staying at home living off their parents...

It was impossible that there weren't some hidden gems among them!

Su Yang felt he couldn't let his upgraded Investigation Talent go to waste.

Since his current workload had significantly decreased and he had the time, he could certainly consider recruiting as many talented young employees as possible!

Even if there weren't enough job openings right now, he could first pick out a batch of useful three-star and four-star geniuses for focused training.

Only with more talent could the company develop better!

Even if this talent wasn't needed right now and the company couldn't train them yet...

He could create a talent archive and contact them when needed!

Perhaps it was his innate workhorse genes acting up; whenever things were too quiet for a while, Su Yang would feel anxious. He only felt at ease when he found something to do!

And as several companies continued to be profitable, Su Yang felt it was time to consider investing some funds into the R&D field.

He wasn't looking to make big moves in fields like semiconductors, biomedicine, or artificial intelligence.

After all, those high-tech things couldn't be played without hundreds, thousands, or even tens of trillions of yuan.

For instance, in the semiconductor field, the national investment in the first half of the year alone exceeded 500 billion!

Even if Su Yang sold all his companies, it wouldn't be enough to buy a few pieces of high-end equipment!

As long as his own companies could achieve some R&D results in related fields, he would be satisfied!

For example, the food processing fields involved by Jiuxiang Catering, Jiuxiang Food, and Fengyuan Ingredients.

There were directions like food processing and storage, food nutrition and safety, food quality and testing, food engineering and equipment, food microbiology and fermentation...

It was so damn complicated!

Su Yang could only stockpile talent first and then take it step by step according to the company's needs, accumulating patented technology and improving product quality!

Not all R&D had to be high-end.

Even ordinary workers could potentially improve production line processes!

Even slightly improving a product's taste or developing a few new flavors actually counted as R&D!

Many patents can also be somewhat superficial.

Even a design patent is still a patent!

Of course, Su Yang didn't think this was a big problem.

He was starting from scratch; a patent was still a patent!

He would put in as much effort as his ability allowed; Su Yang was in no rush!

Like the PhDs with a talent for psychological research recruited by Yanhu Vocational School.

Su Yang hadn't invested much money, yet they had already published two papers in journals.

Although the quality wasn't very high, Su Yang saw some results!

The general managers of the subsidiaries were gradually getting used to Su Yang's style and all expressed that they would execute according to the boss's requirements!

In addition, Su Yang followed his routine of urging the progress of the Fengyuan acquisition.

And he requested that Meijia Housekeeping consider recruiting high-end domestic service talent or consider acquiring high-end housekeeping companies to refine their business!

Even if they couldn't acquire a high-end housekeeping company right now, they had to make full research preparations!

Because the development speed was too fast, Meijia's current situation was very bloated.

They were doing almost exclusively mid-range local housekeeping services in Rongcheng.

Su Yang felt it was time for Meijia to consider gradually moving toward high-end housekeeping!

As for Jiuxiang Food, Su Yang felt it should also move toward group development, organizing and standardizing its various brands and factories.

Because he had to arrange jobs for the students of Yanhu Vocational School, he had to put more effort into Jiuxiang Food!

After the meeting, Su Yang called over Cheng Wenhuo, the manager of the Mergers and Acquisitions Department, and asked him about acquiring a security company.

Cheng Wenhuo stated that he had recently contacted three local private security companies, two of which were quite good in all aspects and were considered good acquisition targets!

Su Yang asked for information on the two local security companies and then directly pointed the way for Cheng Wenhuo: "I heard Shenying Security is quite good. Focus on talking with them. Money is not an issue!"

“Alright, Boss!”
