487: Chapter 487 Why can't we let big capital lose money? For those traveling to Tibet!

"With your ability, combined with my capital and vision, it's not impossible for us to go head-to-head with Dapeng!" Su Yang said with a smile. "You were the one kicked out by Dapeng. What do you think of the internal management level of the Dapeng Group?"

Li Yuping said objectively, "Not great!"

Su Yang asked again, "What about their profitability?"

"Many are still operating at a loss!" Li Yuping thought for a moment and said, "Don't let their four-billion loss over three years fool you; all that capital was used to expand their scale and acquire pet hospitals."

"That's exactly it!" Su Yang said with a smile. "They are following that standard routine: crazy acquisitions, expanding scale, then going public to cash out, and using that money to continue expanding."

Li Yuping nodded.

Dapeng's rise follows the path of many domestic manufacturing and internet companies.

They don't consider profitability first; they use the domestic demographic dividend to expand their scale crazily, then obtain more funds by going public and raising money from the stock market.

"Can they really swallow up every pet hospital in the country?"

"Can they handle their tangled internal problems?"

"Can they really manage their reputation and provide good service?"

Su Yang's series of questions made Li Yuping think deeply.

Even though Dapeng seems very strong, they will never be able to buy out every pet hospital in the country.

Even now, their market share barely exceeds 10%. Naturally, the country can accommodate other pet hospitals!

As for the internal side of the Dapeng Group, because of their crazy acquisitions, the Dapeng Pet Hospitals are filled with various factions and brands. Sorting them out is truly not something that can be done in a short time!

As for their reputation... that's truly not great.

They are often caught and fined by regulatory departments, and occasionally scandals break out!

Li Yuping took a deep breath and said, "Boss, are you confident?"

"No, I'm not!" Su Yang said with a smile. "At least they are richer than me, but I think we should look up to the number one, and our goal should be to be number one!"

Hearing Su Yang's candid and sharp words, Li Yuping couldn't help but laugh.

This wasn't mockery, but a laugh filled with relief, appreciation, and excitement!

If Su Yang had said he was confident, he would definitely have thought Su Yang was too arrogant.

Did he have the right to appreciate Su Yang? Of course he did!

Bosses can choose employees, and employees can choose bosses. Capable people will always carefully choose their bosses!

"I think I have a certain talent for choosing shop locations!" Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "You know about my Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurant and Weimeijia, right?"

"I do!" Li Yuping nodded.

Before deciding to join Jufan Holdings, Li Yuping had researched some company information. It was only because he knew this company had strong financial resources that he was willing to submit his resume!

After all, he was a person with a certain status in the industry, so he was naturally willing to find a company with slightly stronger capital!

"My Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurant and Weimeijia are spread across four provinces, and not a single branch is operating at a loss!"

Hearing this, Li Yuping's eyes lit up: "Even Guodilao couldn't achieve that, right?"

"If they could do that, they wouldn't be closing stores!"

"I understand, Boss!"

At this moment, Li Yuping finally understood what Su Yang meant!

The location of a pet hospital is actually very important.

"In the early stages, I can invest 500 million. You should also learn from the Dapeng Group and acquire pet hospitals!" Su Yang gently patted his laptop and said, "Don't view Hillhouse or those internet and real estate capitals as too powerful; they aren't invincible, and their investments also lose money sometimes... Why can't we make them lose money? Right?"

"Right!" Li Yuping nodded heavily.

Su Yang's words ignited his fighting spirit. He also liked ambitious bosses!

If he could develop Shenmiao Pets to a scale that could rival the Dapeng Group, the expressions of those Dapeng Group executives who kicked him out would definitely be very ugly!

"I definitely can't outspend those big capitals, but within one billion, I can keep up with the spending for two years!" Su Yang began his habitual practice of painting a big picture and pumping up morale. "If you give me a little more time, three billion isn't impossible."

"If the Boss's eye for locations is really that good, we might not need to spend that much!"

Li Yuping wasn't afraid that Su Yang was lying to him; after all, that wouldn't benefit him!

However, he also realized that he might have underestimated the financial strength of Jufan Holdings!

"Hmm!" Su Yang nodded. "If you want to poach people, feel free to do so. As long as they have enough ability, you can poach them. I can accept a reasonable salary increase of 10-20%. Don't be afraid that I can't pay the wages, and don't be afraid of company losses... If you want to acquire, go ahead and do it, but all of this must pass through the Mergers and Acquisitions Department and my review."

"Okay, Boss!" Hearing Su Yang's words, Li Yuping felt full of confidence!

Is this what it feels like to follow capital? It's f*cking wonderful!

"Remember, while we are making money, we must also maintain a good reputation!" Su Yang's pet hospitals definitely had to make money, but it had to be at a reasonable market price!

"I understand, Boss!"

"I will have my secretary, Jiang Yuzhen, assist you. If you need anything, you can tell her!"

"Okay!"

"..."

After ending the call with Li Yuping, Su Yang contacted Jiang Yuzhen again, gave her a list, and asked her to assist Li Yuping in assembling the internal management team for the Shenmiao Pet Hospital chain.

Especially for the financial staff, he had personally drawn up a list! The vast majority of these financial staff were hired by him personally.

His financial staff were all very honest and reliable, with high moral standards. They certainly wouldn't get by in other companies, but it was no problem at Jufan Holdings.

After all, he didn't need his financial staff to cook the books, let alone go to jail. A loss is a loss! A profit is a profit! Pay taxes when taxes are due! He would not leave any flaws for himself in this regard!

After dealing with Li Yuping's matters, Su Yang resumed the work he hadn't finished yesterday.

"Where's Brother Su?" In the spacious cabin of the Navigator, Chen Li, Qin Shuang, and Yin Wenyu were playing Fight the Landlord.

Hao Yue was playing Honor of Kings, Jiang Yan was scrolling through short videos, and Tao Xue was looking out the window, somewhat aimlessly.

Looking at the English word "Defeat" on the screen, Hao Yue angrily threw down her phone: "Where's Brother Su?"

"In the bedroom!" Tao Xue said casually. "He said he needed to handle some company matters and told us not to disturb him for now."

"He's really working hard; I wanted him to carry me!" Hao Yue said helplessly. "I've already lost six games in a row today!"

Jiang Yan asked in surprise: "Is the Boss very good at Honor of Kings?"

"Of course he's good!" Hao Yue nodded seriously. "His rank isn't high, but his skills are very strong. He probably just doesn't have time to play usually."

"Oh!"

"Wanna play together?"

Jiang Yan said somewhat embarrassedly: "But I'm not very good!"

"It's fine, we're all noobs anyway!"

"Beep~" Just then, a faint car horn sound attracted Hao Yue's attention.

She glanced out the window and saw a young girl pushing a four-wheeled cart. The Navigator was really too huge, so she had to push her cart to the side of the road to let them pass!

Hao Yue asked curiously: "What is she doing? Is she going to Tibet alone?"

"Looks like she's livestreaming!" Tao Xue also leaned over to take a look and said, "Did you see the phone screen in front of her?"

Jiang Yan put down her phone, leaned over to take a look, and said: "Yes, she must be a streamer!"

Hao Yue asked confusedly: "Isn't it dangerous to go to Tibet alone?"
