463: Chapter 463 Signing Ceremony! Tan Yanghong and Hu Shurong, Neglected!

Chapter 463: Signing Ceremony! Tan Yanghong and Hu Shurong Left in the Cold!

Not only did both parties hold an official signing ceremony, but they also invited various media outlets to hold a press conference.

After Tan Yanghong, General Manager of Jiuxiang Food, Hu Shurong, General Manager of Chizhu Wine Industry, and Wu Liang, Vice President of Longjiu Group, signed the agreement, countless media reporters began interviewing Wu Liang, Tan Yanghong, and Hu Shurong!

The media's primary target was still Wu Liang!

Although Longjiu Group was not listed, it was still a well-known domestic liquor enterprise.

Its valuation was over a hundred billion yuan, or perhaps even exceeding 150 billion yuan.

It had considerable influence and maintained good relations with various media outlets!

Wu Liang generously stated that Longjiu Group was strategically positioning itself in the wine industry, entering into strategic partnerships with high-quality domestic wine enterprises to seek more profit growth.

When a reporter asked why Longjiu Group chose Chizhu Wine Industry, Wu Liang showered Chizhu Wine Industry with praise.

He claimed that Chizhu Wine Industry was one of the finest wine enterprises in the province.

He believed that Chizhu Wine Industry possessed extremely outstanding technical talent and reserves, and Derong County was the province's premier wine grape-growing region.

Having deeply cultivated the local region for over a decade, Chizhu Wine Industry had cultivated premium wine grapes based on the unique local highland climate conditions. Combining Chinese and Western winemaking techniques, they ultimately crafted wines with a unique Chinese flavor, earning unanimous praise from Longjiu Group!

In addition, Wu Liang also connected the investment in Chizhu Wine Industry with helping local employment, stating that they were responding to the official call to actively promote local industrial development...

Of course, these were all just platitudes!

Su Yang sat nearby wearing his staff ID, watching Tan Yanghong and Hu Shurong at the press conference... He couldn't help but feel they looked a bit lonely and slightly awkward!

Just like unknown, 18th-tier minor stars sitting on the side at a movie press conference!

There was no helping it; who told Wu Liang to have a higher status?

Compared to Longjiu Group, neither Chizhu Wine Industry nor Jiuxiang Food could hold a candle to them.

Or rather, even the current Jufan Holdings was a bit insignificant in front of Longjiu Group!

However, Wu Liang did not forget to look after Tan Yanghong and Hu Shurong. He quickly shifted the topic to Jiuxiang Food, praising their professionalism in the snack sector and commending Hu Shurong's contributions to the domestic wine industry, expressing that Longjiu Group was delighted to cooperate with outstanding local enterprises!

Only then did the reporters begin to direct their questions toward Tan Yanghong and Hu Shurong.

Tan Yanghong did not forget that today's protagonist should be Chizhu Wine Industry, so he expressed his support for them. Meanwhile, Hu Shurong stated that he would work hard to brew the finest wines to satisfy consumers, and so on...

Once the press conference ended, Su Yang greeted Wu Liang, then smilingly wrapped his arms around Tan Yanghong and Hu Shurong's shoulders, whispering, "Work hard, and strive to be the protagonists of the press conference when facing giant conglomerates like Longjiu Group in the future!"

Su Yang then looked at Hu Shurong and whispered, "Strive to build a great career and make Chenyu Group regret their past choice... And I will support you with everything I have!"

Seeing the confident and warm smile on Su Yang's face, both Tan Yanghong and Hu Shurong couldn't help but nod heavily.

The silent understanding between men needed no words!

It was a bit chuunibyou, but these two middle-aged men, Tan Yanghong and Hu Shurong, found it strangely gratifying!

Encouraged by their boss, the slight disappointment in their hearts quickly vanished.

It was replaced by a firm determination, a vow to carve out a great career!

"Has the boss always been like this?"

Walking behind Su Yang, Hu Shurong asked Tan Yanghong in a low voice.

Tan Yanghong asked in confusion, "Like what?"

"It's a bit hard to put into words..."

Tan Yanghong smiled and said, "Do you feel like he's very reliable?"

Hu Shurong just smiled, not knowing what else to say.

He indeed was very reliable!

He still remembered the expressions on the faces of Longjiu Group's executives when they came to Chizhu Wine Industry and saw the employees' salaries and benefits.

Especially when they saw the salaries and benefits of those few French technicians, the domestic winemakers, and even the cleaning lady...

At that time, Su Yang had directly stated that these salaries and benefits must remain as they were, and that he was the one in control of the company.

If the company's profits improved in the future, he would even give the employees a raise!

"If you don't like it, you don't have to buy shares. It's a gambling agreement anyway, so don't fuss over so much..."

When he got off work that evening, he heard some male employees chatting in the dormitory, saying: The boss was incredibly cool back then!

As for the bonuses the boss had promised, those were also retained.

After the press conference, Su Yang took Yu Chengjun, Tan Yanghong, and Hu Shurong to have a meal with Zhang Zhiyuan and Wu Liang. At the dining table, they began to discuss how to help chizhu open up more sales channels, how to carry out publicity, and other matters.

The final outcome of the discussion was that Spark Entertainment Group would help Chizhu Wine Industry with online promotion and customer acquisition.

Longjiu Group would help Chizhu Wine Industry establish and open up offline sales channels, as well as secure more official support and preferential policies...

Meanwhile, Chizhu Wine Industry's brand needed to be further optimized, with a focus on mid-to-low-end products, producing more wine tailored to the tastes of Chinese consumers, and hiring more staff!

Most of the 120 million yuan Chizhu Wine Industry obtained would be spent on marketing advertisements and expanding sales channels.

Of this, Su Yang's Spark Media should be able to get a share!

Su Yang could tell that Zhang Zhiyuan cared quite a bit about Chizhu Wine Industry.

This pleased Su Yang; this was exactly the kind of partner he needed.

No wonder Chizhu Wine Industry's sales could skyrocket after cooperating with Longjiu Group!

Soon, however, Su Yang found out why Zhang Zhiyuan cared so much about Chizhu Wine Industry.

Half-drunk, Zhang Zhiyuan grabbed Su Yang's arm and asked, "Brother, do you have confidence in Chizhu Wine Industry?"

"Of course!" Su Yang nodded confidently. "Otherwise, why would I do it?"

He struggled slightly but couldn't pull his arm back...

"Your ability is definitely above mine. Even my dad says you're very strong, and he rarely misjudges people!" Zhang Zhiyuan said with a smile. "I also want to achieve something in the wine industry. Together, we are a powerhouse alliance!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

You make a lot of sense!

"For a long time, I've wanted to make something of myself..."

Having said this, Zhang Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh and fell silent.

Wu Liang, beside him, patted his shoulder, seemingly understanding Zhang Zhiyuan very well.

Zhang Zhiyuan raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's keep drinking!"

"Alright!"

"..."

After sending off Zhang Zhiyuan and the others, their group also left.

Sitting beside Su Yang, Yu Chengjun asked curiously, "Boss, since the wine brewed by Chizhu Wine Industry tastes so good, why do we still need to cooperate with Longjiu Group?"

"Do you think a product will sell just because it's good?"

"We can sell it online!" Yu Chengjun said, puzzled. "Aren't we very good at that?"

"Too slow!" Su Yang shook his head. "The overall environment for wine is not good right now. There are all kinds of internal pressures and competition, plus the impact of imported foreign wines. Most wine companies are losing money, including listed ones. Even if we become the top domestic leader, we'd make at most 300 million in profit a year. We'd be better off focusing on selling snacks and doing hot pot!"

"Is 300 million in profit not a lot?"

"Moutai's annual profit is 74.7 billion. Even if wine reaches the top, it's not even a fraction of their pocket change!"

"Uh..."

"It would take us a very long time just to reach 300 million in annual profit!" Su Yang said in a low voice. "It's better to cooperate with Longjiu Group. It not only reduces a lot of trouble but also saves a lot of time and capital costs, and they have shown enough sincerity... You can never make all the money in the world!"

"As expected, the boss has a grander vision!"
