578: Chapter 578 Su Yang's Confidence! Another 500 Million Yuan Investment!

Should I sell it or not?

Han Kun felt a bit hesitant!

To be honest, he had originally intended to buy the 12% stake from the textile group as well.

But the sudden appearance of Jiuxiang Food, which also offered a fairly good price, made him somewhat tempted.

"Mr. Su, to be honest, I have quite deep feelings for Tiancheng Cola!"

"How so?"

Su Yang put on a look as if he was all ears.

"When I was young, my mother worked at Tiancheng Cola. Back then, the thing I loved to drink most was Tiancheng Cola. My classmates were all very envious that I could often drink it!" Han Kun reminisced, "That is the taste of my childhood; I feel like I will never forget it in this lifetime!"

"Hmm!"

Su Yang nodded.

Han Kun looked at Su Yang and said, "Mr. Su, you understand what I mean, right?"

"I think, I should understand!" Su Yang nodded earnestly, then sighed with a look of relief, "In that case, our Jiuxiang Food will no longer insist... We can look for other targets!"

Han Kun was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected Su Yang to give up directly.

What do you understand?

You don't understand a damn thing!

He just wanted to drive up the price. Even if he didn't sell Tiancheng Cola, he was still willing to sell a portion of the shares at a high price!

"Mr. Su, what I mean is... we can talk some more!"

"Oh~ so that's what you meant, Mr. Han!"

Han Kun suddenly began to suspect whether this Mr. Su was also an old fox.

Not long after, the local official leaders finally arrived.

The leaders curiously asked Su Yang how Jiuxiang Food would develop Tiancheng Cola after the acquisition.

Having done his homework, Su Yang was naturally not timid. He briefly discussed Jiuxiang Food's plan, which was to first develop Tiancheng Cola into a sports drink!

Su Yang didn't hide this point at all; it would be impossible if Tiancheng Cola hadn't considered making a sports drink!

In the beverage market, there are only a few types, after all!

Besides this, Su Yang also elaborated in detail on the advantages of Jufan Holdings.

This included Spark Fitness, which had already expanded to the capital, Magic City, and Guangdong Province, and would continue to expand nationwide!

It included the Jiuxiang Hotpot Chain, which was spread across provinces like Guizhou, Sichuan, Shanxi, Hunan, and Hubei, and was still expanding rapidly.

It included the good relationships Jiuxiang Food had with distributors and supermarkets all over the country!

It included the powerful promotional and marketing capabilities of Spark Entertainment Group...

It included the retail industry they would layout in the future...

In any case, he was bragging... but bragging with a basis!

Su Yang appeared very confident, and the words he spoke were even more confident!

His own powerful charisma attribute, combined with the confidence of a successful person accumulated from successive successes, carried a powerful ability to infect emotions... It seemed as if victory was just tomorrow!

Even the leaders in the office listened with sparkling eyes, feeling that this energetic, confident young man was more reliable than Han Kun, and feeling that Tiancheng Cola was more likely to regain its vitality in this young man's hands!

Finally, Su Yang also stated that after acquiring Tiancheng Cola, he would continue to invest no less than 500 million in funds to strengthen Tiancheng Cola!

After listening to Su Yang's description, the leaders looked at Han Kun again.

Han Kun took a deep breath, feeling the pressure!

He indeed did not possess any of these advantages!

He did have a good relationship with hospitals... but hospitals couldn't sell beverages!

Most importantly, Su Yang promised to put 500 million into Tiancheng Cola.

That was very tempting!

Real money is a sign of sincerity!

Shancheng's manufacturing industry is developed, and a 500 million investment is not a huge amount, but don't look down on it!

It was 500 million, after all!

Once Jufan Holdings entered Shancheng, it was possible they would invest in other things as well.

Although Han Kun held over 80% of the shares in Tiancheng Cola, he still had to consider the attitude of the officials.

The brand Tiancheng Cola was different from other ordinary brands.

In the hearts of the older generation of local leaders, it still held a certain weight!

Yet, he held the Tiancheng Cola brand but hadn't achieved any decent results. Even the textile group didn't want to work with him anymore!

The textile group was a state-owned enterprise; once they withdrew, it would become difficult for Tiancheng Cola to get loans.

Just at this moment, Su Yang said in a low voice, "Mr. Han, I know you have deep feelings for Tiancheng Cola... How about this, we can cooperate!"

Han Kun pondered, "Cooperate?"

"Yes!" Su Yang said with a smile, "We will take the 12% stake from the textile group, and you sell another 60% of the shares to our Jiuxiang Food. Let's work together to make a fortune!"

Han Kun hesitated, "Do you have to hold the controlling stake?"

He was somewhat shaken, feeling that Jiuxiang Food was indeed more professional than him!

The channels of Jufan Holdings also had greater advantages than his!

"Of course!" Su Yang nodded affirmatively, "When it comes to food and beverages, our Jiuxiang Food is the professional one. If we don't hold the controlling stake and don't completely control Tiancheng Cola, it will be hard for us to stretch our hands and feet... just like if we were to enter the pharmaceutical industry, we wouldn't be as good as you, Mr. Han!"

Han Kun took a slight breath.

The other party was too overbearing, yet also very imposing and very confident!

It made him feel that he was getting old; at the very least, he wouldn't dare to say something like investing 500 million into Tiancheng Cola!

He thought for a moment, but still asked, "Can you let me go back and consider it?"

"Of course you can!"

Su Yang nodded with a smile.

After the meeting ended, Su Yang couldn't leave right away.

The local officials invited him to dinner and also invited him to visit the food industrial park in Shancheng.

They also spoke about some of Shancheng's geographical advantages!

Finally, they also asked Su Yang if he had any plans to invest in building a factory in Shancheng, and they would offer certain preferential treatment!

Su Yang naturally expressed that he was interested, but that he still had to go back and discuss it with the management team!

He actually quite liked Shancheng; at the very least, its geographical advantage of sitting on the Yangtze River was quite obvious.

Moreover, if he were to invest in building a factory, he would definitely prioritize larger, economically developed cities.

As for small cities and small places, how should one put it!

It is true that one can save quite a bit on labor costs, but the risks might be even greater.

Anyone who has run a factory knows that if you open a slightly larger company or factory in a small place or a small city, you might be watched by a large group of people.

Even if your relationship with the locals is quite good, what if that relationship goes away?

Once you dump tens of millions or hundreds of millions into building a factory, you can't just run away whenever you want.

That involves sunk costs.

Su Yang himself likes stability, likes a lively atmosphere, and likes to cluster together with other factories and companies.

If there are many businessmen from other places and enterprises from other places in the area, that would be even better!

If it were a place where only local businessmen were active, he would actually be worried instead...

Of course, some of these experiences were summarized by Su Yang himself, and many were warnings from predecessors!

Many of them were lessons learned through blood and tears and were taught to him!

Sitting on the road back to Rongcheng, Tan Yanghong asked in a low voice, "Boss, do you think we can succeed?"

"It should be possible!" Su Yang said with a smile, "Han Kun should want to cooperate!"

Tan Yanghong said with a smile, "Mr. Han's strength and connections are still quite strong; cooperation is actually not bad!"

"Hmm!"

Su Yang nodded.

He actually also needed connections and was not opposed to cooperating with other enterprises.

Han Kun has a net worth of ten billion, owns several pharmaceutical companies in his hands, and was able to secure this "national brand" of Tiancheng Cola, which in itself explains a certain issue.

If Han Kun chose to cooperate, Su Yang would definitely be able to accept it. Tiancheng Cola is not Jiuxiang Food, it is just a subsidiary under Jiuxiang Food. As long as he can hold the controlling stake, that's fine!

He is also willing to cooperate with people who have strength, technology, connections, and a certain bottom line.

At worst, he could dilute the shares in the other party's hands later!

Su Yang asked Tan Yanghong about the development of Jiuxiang Food again; overall, it was still quite good!

As for the acquisition of the pet food company, he wasn't in a hurry.

After all, the money in his hands already had a place to be used!
