484: Chapter 484 My photography skills are professional! Guodi Lao (a hot pot restaurant chain) intends to acquire me!

Sitting in the car, Su Yang fiddled with his Leica camera casually.

Chen Li asked with some curiosity: "You also know how to take photos?"

The events of last night still made her feel a bit uncomfortable.

But since it had already happened, she didn't care anymore... Sigh!

Su Yang said smugly: "My photography is professional!"

"Bragging!"

Chen Li had traveled with Su Yang before, so how could she not know about Su Yang's skills?

It could only be said that they looked a bit better than what an average person could take, but it probably couldn't be called professional.

Su Yang laughed: "When we get to the scenic spot, I can take a few photos for you!"

"Fine!"

Seeing that everyone else had gone off to play, Su Yang took out his phone and found the wechat message Yuan Sisi had sent him at eight last night.

Yuan Sisi: "I suddenly want to go!"

Looking at the wechat message from last night, Su Yang replied casually: "We have already set off..."

Yuan Sisi: "You're not taking me?"

Su Yang: "I didn't see your message last night!"

He definitely saw it last night, but he just felt that not bringing Yuan Sisi would greatly reduce the difficulty of this trip.

After all, the grudges between her and Tao Xue were quite troublesome to deal with.

If she were to come and the two sides got into a conflict...

What would he do if Tao Xue went on strike and stopped helping him?

Arriving at Luding at noon, Su Yang visited the Luding Bridge with them, experiencing a bit of revolutionary baptism.

As for the scenery, it was best not to expect too much.

However, Su Yang still took group photos for them; they looked just like a tour group now!

It's just that they were too youthful and beautiful, their looks were too high, and they were too eye-catching!

Su Yang was wearing sunglasses, a shirt, and jeans, with a camera hanging on his chest, so he didn't look that conspicuous.

"Isn't it stuffy wearing a mask?"

Seeing Jiang Yan quickly put on her mask after taking photos, Su Yang couldn't help asking.

"Not stuffy!"

As she spoke, Jiang Yan playfully opened her mouth, and the mask immediately tore a large gap, revealing her little pink tongue, which made Su Yang laugh!

Seeing that the weather was nice today, with the sun hanging in the sky.

By the afternoon, the convoy drove towards Niubei Mountain.

The convoy stopped at the entrance of the scenic area, and the local homestay owner came to welcome them enthusiastically.

Su Yang left the driver and three security guards to guard the convoy, then took the others to ride the sightseeing bus, following the homestay owner up to Niubei Mountain.

When they arrived at the campsite on the mountain, many heard Hao Yue's exclamation!

The other girls also took out their phones and started taking pictures frantically.

The weather was very nice today; one could see clouds rolling in the distance, and further away, the majestic King of Shu Mountains, Mount Gongga, stood among them, bringing an extremely powerful spiritual impact!

"Brother Su, let's stay here tonight!"

Tao Xue pointed to a campsite on the open ground and said.

This was a very good viewing platform.

The homestay owner nearby was beaming with joy; this group was large, and they didn't look like they were short of money!

"That works!"

Qin Shuang looked at the sea of clouds in the distance and laughed: "We can stay together, that might save a bit!"

Seeing such scenery put her in a very good mood!

"You can form your own groups!" Su Yang laughed, "Two people to a room, that's safer!"

"Okay!"

Hearing Su Yang's words, Tao Xue grabbed Chen Li's arm: "Sister Chen Li, let's stay together tonight!"

"Uh..."

Seeing the enthusiastic Tao Xue, Chen Li wanted to refuse, but couldn't say it outright!

At this time, the tour guide Deng Zhihan chatted with the homestay owner for a few words, then came to Su Yang's side and said: "Boss, there is a sunrise tomorrow morning, and the homestay owner will send someone to take us up!"

"Okay!" Su Yang nodded and shouted aloud, "Everyone, feel free to do as you please, we need to get up early tomorrow morning to watch the sunrise!"

"Okay, Brother Su!"

"Brother Su, take a picture for me!"

Earlier in Luding, Jiang Yan had already discovered that Su Yang was very professional at taking photos.

It felt like he was completely on par with the professional photographers at Spark Media!

Skill levels are divided into Beginner, Ordinary, Proficient, Mastery, Grandmaster, and Legendary.

Su Yang's Proficient-level photography skills had already surpassed many professional photographers.

"I want one too!"

"I want to take photos too!"

"..."

A group of girls started making a fuss, all wanting Su Yang to take their photos!

Su Yang didn't know what to do with them, so he could only say: "Alright, alright, I'll take photos for all of you!"

He had to treat everyone equally, otherwise, he might easily crash and burn!

After serving this group of women, Su Yang picked a campsite facing Mount Gongga and lay down on a chair, not wanting to move.

Next to him was a tea table, along with tea and pastries brought over by the homestay owner.

Not long after, Jiang Yan also moved a reclining chair and lay down with him!

"Do you like it?"

"I like it quieter!"

"Where is Yin Wenyu?"

"She went to take photos with Hao Yue and Qin Shuang!"

"You don't like taking photos?"

"The few photos the boss took for me are beautiful enough!"

"..."

Just at this moment, Su Yang received a call from Ji Guoxiong.

"Boss!"

"Is something the matter?"

"Sorry to disturb your vacation..."

"Don't mention it; if there is something important, you can disturb me at any time!" Su Yang was in a very good mood at this moment, "I'm just taking a vacation, not ignoring the company!"

"Yeah! Guodilao called me and said they wanted to acquire Nine Fragrance Hotpot!"

Su Yang was a bit curious: "How much are they offering?"

"700 million!"

"700 million, they still have quite a good eye!"

Su Yang felt that this offer was slightly sincere, at least more sincere than many investment institutions!

These investment institutions were all acting like misers now, without any of the passion they had when investing in the internet back in the day.

After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "What do you think?"

Ji Guoxiong: "We definitely cannot agree; after all, Nine Fragrance Hotpot and Guodilao are competitors, and they are now considered foreign capital. Back when the two cola giants entered the country, they also acquired a batch of our beverage brands, and the result is that they are all ruined now!"

Su Yang knew what Ji Guoxiong meant.

Although Guodilao started within the province, and the boss is considered half a fellow townsman of Su Yang.

But he has immigrated to Singapore and has even been the richest man in Singapore.

Calling it foreign capital doesn't seem like an exaggeration!

Ji Guoxiong continued: "I think they just sensed our threat; after all, some of our stores have already formed a competitive relationship with them!"

"Hmm!"

"Boss, our Nine Fragrance Hotpot can definitely become the next Guodilao, there is no need to agree... Besides, you are not short of money!"

"That goes without saying, reject them!"

Of course, Su Yang couldn't sell the company; he was just curious about the outside world's valuation of the Jiuxiang Hotpot Chain.

In the past, investors valued Nine Fragrance Hotpot at a few tens of millions, and only a year has passed, but the valuation has reached 700 million; Su Yang still felt a great sense of accomplishment.

"Okay, Boss!"

"Remember to hype it up, just say that Guodilao sensed a crisis and wanted to eliminate our Jiuxiang Hotpot Chain as a threat... However, we definitely can't say this explicitly; it has to come out through other channels!" Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "Jiuxiang Catering should just say we decline the acquisition, thank the other party for their recognition, and by the way, flatter Guodilao's status as a giant. Be neither humble nor arrogant, be polite. Discuss it with the Guan Gong Company side, team up with Spark Entertainment Group, ride their wave of traffic, and increase our popularity!"

This should count as an endorsement from an industry giant; the current Nine Fragrance Hotpot indeed needs fame.

Su Yang's Jiuxiang Catering didn't pay much attention to marketing because location, taste, and price are the foundation of the catering business, and he didn't need many franchisees!

But if the marketing is done well and the popularity is high, it can indeed take the hotpot business to the next level!

Guodilao's marketing ability is very strong, and their traffic and popularity online are very high, so Su Yang will just ride a wave of their traffic and popularity!

Moreover, this kind of marketing costs very little, so it's very cost-effective!

"I understand!"

Ji Guoxiong took a deep breath, and in his heart, he couldn't help but admire his boss!

In such a short time, he had thought of using Guodilao's acquisition attempt to market his own brand.

At least in terms of marketing, he was still not as good as his boss!
