503: Chapter 503 Catching the Traffic! June: Students of Yanhu Vocational School Graduate!

Chapter 503: Catch the Traffic! Yanhu Vocational School Students Graduate in June!

"If your shop hasn't opened yet, then forget it!"

"We're opening! Of course we're opening!" Lin Yiming said with a smile, "We have no reason to turn away customers!"

The girl looked at the empty hotpot restaurant and asked softly, "The servers probably haven't come to work yet, right?"

Lin Yiming quickly replied, "It's fine, I can be the server!"

Inside a homestay filled with local flair in Litang, Su Yang held a video conference.

The participants were mainly senior executives from Jiuxiang Catering, Spark Entertainment, and Fengyuan Ingredients.

"I'm sure everyone has seen the recent trending searches for Nine Fragrance Hotpot. Spark Entertainment did an excellent job. Besides President Yu and President Cheng, I also saw the planning capabilities of Xingli PR!"

"We wouldn't dare take all the credit!" Yu Siying sat on the sofa with a relaxed smile on her face. "It's because the boss and Mr. Ji built a solid foundation for Nine Fragrance Hotpot, and the boss was also guiding us on the promotional front!"

Kang Xuyan and the others also nodded; they had already discussed this yesterday.

The boss truly was a marketing genius!

His grasp of trending topics was incredibly sharp, as if he naturally knew what netizens liked to see!

"Alright, enough of that!"

Su Yang smiled, not paying much mind to Yu Siying's compliments.

He wouldn't tell these subordinates that he truly could control the probability of the company going viral!

Because whenever any of his companies trended, it would be shown through a deduction.

Although the information shown by Business Deduction was very brief, a company trending on a national scale was a major event in the eyes of the Business Deduction and would definitely be marked!

Whether it was for good or bad!

"Old Ji, because the traffic is so high, the Jiuxiang Hotpot Chain will surely face a great test in the coming period. You must instruct the branch employees to serve every customer diligently and ensure nothing goes wrong... Not only will our competitors be watching us, but those self-media bloggers will also be watching!" Su Yang emphasized to Ji Guoxiong, "Don't waste this hard-earned popularity; you must catch this wave of traffic steadily!"

"I understand!"

Ji Guoxiong nodded with a serious expression.

He knew very well that as long as they caught this wave of traffic steadily, it would be the beginning of Nine Fragrance Hotpot's transformation.

"Tell every server in the branches that they'll only be busy for about a month. After a month, as the hype dies down, their workload will decrease!" Su Yang thought for a moment and added, "As long as they don't make mistakes, give each of them an extra thousand-yuan bonus this month!"

"Understood!"

Ji Guoxiong nodded earnestly.

He was well aware of how generous the boss was to his employees!

So, he didn't say anything more!

"Old Qian, your side at Fengyuan must fully cooperate with the hotpot restaurants!" Su Yang said, looking at Qian Xiaochang, "You must keep a close eye on the ingredients. The interests of Nine Fragrance Hotpot are aligned with yours!"

"I understand!" Qian Xiaochang also nodded seriously. "I will also send people to inspect the various branch companies to absolutely guarantee the quality and safety of the ingredients!"

"Good!" Su Yang saw how serious both of them looked and smiled. "Everyone, don't be so serious. Let's talk about something happy. Once we pass this test, business for the Jiuxiang Hotpot Chain and Fengyuan will definitely get even better. When the time comes, everyone can share in the year-end dividends, and I'll give everyone a big red envelope!"

Hearing this, the serious expressions on the faces of Ji Guoxiong, Qian Xiaochang, and the other vice presidents of Jiuxiang and Fengyuan finally broke!

Yu Siying looked at the expressions of Ji Guoxiong and Qian Xiaochang with a smile on her face.

Spark Entertainment Group's promotional and marketing business had been increasing lately, with many companies sending money their way!

Thinking about the second promotional plan scheduled for mid-month and the third one at the end of the month... she felt even happier.

This June, Spark Entertainment was bound to shine brilliantly in the domestic marketing industry!

After the meeting ended, Su Yang casually clicked on the trending searches regarding Nine Fragrance Hotpot.

When he saw netizens commenting that Nine Fragrance Hotpot was far inferior to Donglai Supermarket, he smiled with relief!

This was roughly the effect he wanted to achieve!

Nine Fragrance Hotpot did need traffic and brand recognition.

But for now, it didn't need the truly 'overwhelming' traffic that Donglai Supermarket had!

Being constantly used by people to attack other companies wasn't actually that great.

As long as people knew that Nine Fragrance Hotpot was better than its peers and was a company that treated its employees well... that was enough.

Once Nine Fragrance Hotpot established a firm foothold nationwide and became a true giant like Guodilao,

he could then consider giving the employees even more benefits.

Moreover, although Nine Fragrance Hotpot's business seemed very good right now, because of the large number of employees, their work intensity wasn't actually that high!

If he increased their work intensity a bit, this amount of staff could actually implement an eight-hour workday...

He opened the electronic map on his laptop and used his skill to once again deduce the site selections for many shops marked with black dots... and then he couldn't help but smile!

Sure enough, some locations that weren't suitable for opening shops before were now suitable.

Even the projected turnover had increased!

This was the benefit of being a well-known enterprise!

Just then, Su Yang received a call from Jiang Yuzhen.

"Xiao Jiang, what's up?"

"I miss you a little!"

"..."

Su Yang didn't know how to respond to that.

However, Jiang Yuzhen was usually quite reserved and introverted.

If she said she missed him a little, it meant she missed him a lot.

"Boss, when are you coming back?"

"Next month, probably!"

"Okay." Jiang Yuzhen fell silent for a moment. "Li Yuping, the general manager of Shenmiao Pets, has already completed the onboarding process. The company office is ready, and I've transferred some finance personnel over according to the list."

"That's good!"

"When will you arrive in Lhasa?"

"Why?"

"Can I take some leave to come see you?"

"Of course you can!"

"Okay!"

Not long after, Su Yang heard the system notification sound:

[Ding~ Your Shenmiao Pets employees have exceeded ten people. You have gained achievement rewards: 2 constitution points, Intermediate Animal Affinity (Talent), and the pet hospitals under your name can receive a permanent buff.]

[1. Enhanced diagnostic accuracy for veterinarians, 2. Enhanced communication skills, 3. Increased employee compassion, 4. Enhanced promotional effects, 5. Veterinarian training efficiency...]

Su Yang hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose the enhanced diagnostic accuracy for veterinarians.

It could only be said that he still had a bit of a conscience!

[Ding~ Your Shenmiao Pet Hospital has gained buffs: Pet cooperation +30%, Veterinarian diagnostic accuracy +15%.]

In reality, there was a shortage of veterinarians domestically, but Su Yang knew that with his company's expansion speed, there probably wouldn't be much time to train veterinarians. He would still have to rely mainly on recruitment and headhunting!

After adding the two constitution points to himself, he received a call from Li Yuping shortly after.

After chatting for a bit, Su Yang told him that two more vice presidents would be joining Shenmiao Pet Hospital soon. Li Yuping asked briefly about the backgrounds of the two new colleagues and then said he understood.

One of these vice presidents was transferred from another of Su Yang's companies.

They were capable and loyal to Jufan Holdings.

The other was a professional in the pet hospital industry, the experienced type.

Through Su Yang's repeated Business Deduction screening and combination, these three working together would be relatively excellent!

To be honest, finding an excellent and reliable professional manager was still very difficult.

Some professional managers,

their degrees and resumes were beautiful, practically perfect, and they were extremely self-confident!

They could talk a big game, leaving Su Yang momentarily stunned.

It was as if as long as they were appointed general manager, the company could charge out of the Milky Way and open branches across the entire universe!

But with one inspection, Su Yang would find that their best skill was still bragging!

With one Business Deduction, they would turn the company into a complete mess!

They might even transfer company assets into their own pockets...

What made Su Yang relatively at ease was that the executives he selected were all quite reliable.

They might have various flaws, but at least they were capable and wouldn't act recklessly.

After wandering around Litang under the lead of a guide, Su Yang and his group bought many local souvenirs.

The girls loved shopping, though it was mostly for small trinkets.

When they encountered handmade Buddha statues, sculptures, or Thangkas, they didn't dare buy them.

After all, the prices were a bit expensive!

Moreover, most of the sculptures of Buddhas, Vajras, and Heavenly Kings, as well as the Thangkas, didn't quite fit their aesthetic.

They just looked on curiously!

The girls also changed into local folk costumes and took many beautiful photos.

Unknowingly, Su Yang's RV became filled with various Tibetan decorations... looking more and more like a mobile homestay.

After the Jiuxiang Hotpot Chain became famous, especially after Ji Guoxiong accepted the live-streamed interview, employee loyalty at Jiuxiang Catering was rising overall.

Similarly, the number of resumes submitted to Jiuxiang Catering exploded in a short time.

The other subsidiaries under Jufan Holdings also saw a significant increase in resumes received...

Every time Su Yang reviewed these resumes, he was full of enthusiasm!

Every time he unearthed a talent, he would be quite happy!

After playing for a day on the Maoya Prairie, Su Yang also received the employee recruitment report from Jian Wei in Xiang Province.

This time, Jian Wei had recruited over two hundred employees in the initial stage in Xiang Province.

These employees weren't just for the hotpot restaurants; they might also be assigned to Weimeijia!

Su Yang's requirements for servers weren't high; as long as their moral standards weren't too low, they could generally pass the final review.

The rest was just medical checkups, training, and so on!

Once the hotpot restaurant renovations were finished, they could almost start working immediately.

Su Yang also took a quick look; there were more female employees than male, but not by much.

Most of the male servers were young men.

The age range of the female employees was also quite even, from eighteen to thirty-five.

The number of male employees at Nine Fragrance Hotpot had been rising lately. Hiring them, besides the fact that they were hardworking, was also to make it easier for female employees to take maternity leave.

If they only hired young women, they might all take maternity leave during the same period!

If a hotpot restaurant encountered such a situation, it would be quite troublesome... should they hire new employees or not?

As long as female employees were willing to work at the hotpot restaurant long-term, Su Yang could certainly accept them taking maternity leave!

Just don't deceive him!

At the same time, Su Yang began to pay attention to Yanhu Vocational School, Jiuxiang Food, and Chizhu Wine Industry.

By the end of June, the third-year students at Yanhu Vocational School would be graduating!
