Chapter 563: Underwear Direction! Acquiring the Auckland Fitness Chain!

Su Yang felt that his class monitor's character and abilities were quite decent!

Taiwan Novel Network is super useful and comprehensive.

Since it was Saturday, he had his driver take him back to the villa.

On the way back, he opened QQ on his phone and checked the university class group in the "Group Assistant," only to see a dense stream of messages!

The last message was sent by Jiang Pingyuan.

He asked the members who attended the reunion to send a message in the group saying they arrived home safely.

Scrolling up further, there were photos of the sumptuous dinner and the wine.

Many classmates who hadn't attended the reunion cried out in regret!

In fact, Su Yang had already been quite frugal; it wasn't particularly high-end.

Then there were the photos taken at the school.

Many people in the group lamented that the school hadn't changed much three years after graduation.

Then there were group photos of the classmates with their counselor Teacher Ran and Teacher Zhang Ziyan.

Someone even took a video of all the classmates in their old classroom, singing "Try" under the lead of Teacher Zhang Ziyan!

Su Yang knew in his heart that Teacher Ran had definitely put a lot of effort into this.

By the time he returned to the villa, some classmates had already posted in the group saying they were home.

Su Yang thought for a moment and replied with three words, "Arrived home," under Teacher Ran's message of "Arrived at the dormitory."

Monday arrived quickly. After the routine meeting, Su Yang received two pieces of good news!

One was that the deal for the Beijing Auckland Fitness Chain had been finalized and was ready for signing.

The other was that Li Heyang had found a good client in the United States for Sihua Clothing.

The other party wanted to import a batch of yoga pants produced by Sihua; the first order was only worth two hundred thousand dollars.

Li Heyang stated that if the client was satisfied with this order, there might be follow-up orders.

However, Sihua Clothing did not have import-export qualifications, so he had to go through an agent!

"Well done!"

Su Yang smiled and praised Li Heyang.

"It's mainly because the company's products are excellent... the factory employees at Sihua Clothing are very outstanding. I feel they are very meticulous, and the clothes they make are very comfortable to wear," Li Heyang said somewhat helplessly. "I feel it's a bit of a waste for Sihua to do OEM work for others."

"Mhm!"

Su Yang certainly knew this; Sihua Clothing's own technology wasn't bad.

With the special buffs added to comfort, it would be strange if they weren't comfortable to wear.

It was clear that Li Heyang had experienced it seriously.

As for the OEM work, once Sihua Clothing's sales rose enough to support the company, it would be stopped!

"Boss, I think given the employees' benefits and Sihua's technology, whether it's women's wear or sports brands, we aren't fully utilizing our advantages!"

"So, what are your thoughts?"

"We are more suited for close-fitting wear!" Li Heyang smiled. "Like yoga pants, or... an underwear brand!"

Su Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.

Li Heyang's suggestion was completely sound; this would indeed maximize Sihua's advantages!

"Starting an underwear brand can still be profitable!"

Su Yang thought for a moment and nodded. "Sure, it can be considered. Tell me how much capital you need!"

He was relatively well-off this month!

If it really didn't work out, he could just give smaller raises and provide the employees' underwear as a benefit.

"Alright, Boss!"

Li Heyang couldn't help but smile; working with a wealthy boss was just so comfortable!

Su Yang suddenly asked, "How have Sihua's sales been lately?"

Li Heyang smiled. "With the help of Spark Media, Sihua is selling quite well online!"

This also made him quite happy.

When using influencers for live-stream sales, besides the influencers taking a fee, the MCN Company behind them would also take a cut.

However, Spark Media gave Sihua a discounted price.

The online marketing costs were much lower than when he had his own company...

He already suspected that his former marketing department employees had taken kickbacks... and quite a lot of them!

When his previous clothing factory was doing online promotion, they must have been scammed out of a lot of money!

Damn it!

Su Yang looked at Cheng Wenhuo, thought for a moment, and said, "Old Cheng, keep an eye out for a foreign trade company; we should need one!"

There was no reason for him not to do import-export business.

Although his main business was still in the service industry, laying the groundwork early would definitely not be a mistake!

Now Chizhu Wine Industry and Sihua Clothing were both getting involved in exports, and Jiuxiang Food should need it too!

"Alright, Boss!"

Cheng Wenhuo nodded.

He knew that the boss wouldn't let him stay idle.

Jufan Holdings was always racing on the path of expansion!

Check it one by one!

"Old Tan, over at Jiuxiang Food, keep an eye out for pet food and beverage production companies!" Su Yang reminded. "Ideally sports drinks... not tasteless mineral water, I like sweet things!"

Tan Yanghong nodded. "I understand, Boss. I'm already looking!"

"That's good!" Su Yang nodded. "Have Manager Cheng coordinate with you when the time comes."

"Alright!"

Su Yang was already planning to open a pet hospital, so pet food was essential.

Jiuxiang Food's advantage would always be in the flavor!

Mineral water and purified water couldn't leverage Jiuxiang Food's greatest strength.

"Manager Li, your Sihua can also consider the direction of pet clothing... tell me if you need capital, but don't start too big. Be prepared; a small workshop is also fine. Discuss it with Manager Li from Shenmiao!"

Li Heyang and Li Yuping both nodded. "Alright, Boss!"

The next afternoon, Su Yang took Jiang Yuzhen, Cheng Wenhuo, and other employees onto a plane to Beijing.

In Beijing, Yi Jiangang, along with employees from Spark Fitness and the Mergers and Acquisitions Department, were already waiting for them.

After Su Yang arrived, he had a meal with the shareholders of Beijing Auckland.

These shareholders were also curious about when Su Yang would expand his catering business to Beijing!

Unknowingly, Jiuxiang Hotpot Chain, one of the main brands under Su Yang's Jiuxiang Catering, had already gained some fame nationwide.

Two minor shareholders of Auckland expressed that they wanted to franchise with the Jiuxiang Hotpot Chain!

Su Yang informed them that Jiuxiang Hotpot Chain was not open for franchising, but they could accept equity investment in branch stores.

Faced with Jiuxiang Catering's harsh and excessive requirements for investment, the two minor shareholders were still very interested.

They weren't business novices; they could sense the confidence of Su Yang and Jiuxiang Catering!

In this world, the higher the threshold and the stricter the requirements, the easier it was to make money!

If farming could make big money, farmers would have no land left to farm.

If praying to Buddha were useful, you wouldn't even be able to squeeze through the temple gates.

Seeing how sincere they were, Su Yang had an in-depth chat with them!

The next day, Yi Jiangang signed the acquisition agreement with the Beijing Auckland Fitness Chain. Spark Fitness acquired Auckland Fitness's twelve stores for 26.21 million yuan, while also taking on approximately 5 million yuan in bank loans and guaranteeing the existing service qualifications of Auckland Fitness's original members!

Su Yang was quite satisfied with this price. Auckland Fitness's financial situation and the operation of its stores were even better than those of the Willance Fitness chain in Shanghai.

Because the Auckland Fitness Chain was located in Beijing, it hadn't been managed as aggressively as Willance!

After signing the acquisition contract, Su Yang and Yi Jiangang called a meeting with the former Auckland executives and the managers of the twelve stores!

Su Yang announced that he would give all employees a thousand-yuan raise and asked the store managers to announce the news and stabilize the staff!

Then, he made adjustments to Auckland's upper management!

Su Yang appointed Xie Yi as the acting general manager of the Beijing Auckland Fitness Chain.

Once the Auckland Fitness Chain was officially renamed, he would serve as the general manager of the Beijing subsidiary of Spark Fitness!
