579: Chapter 579 The Establishment of Starlight Ground Promotion! A Powerful Push! Han Kun's Concessions!

After Su Yang sent Tan Yanghong back to Jiuxiang Food, Yu Chengjun asked Su Yang curiously: "Boss, are you really confident in making a success of Tiancheng Cola?"

Yu Chengjun had followed Su Yang for the entire trip, but she was completely inconspicuous.

She just acted like a fly on the wall, eating and drinking with Su Yang and Tan Yanghong, and even received some souvenirs before leaving!

Su Yang asked with a smile: "Do you think it's possible for me to succeed?"

Yu Chengjun glanced at the rearview mirror: "When we were in the conference room, I felt that you would definitely succeed!"

Recalling Su Yang's confident and spirited manner as he faced those leaders and Han Kun in the conference room, that powerful ability to infect others with emotion made her want to roll up her sleeves and work with Su Yang!

"And now?"

"Now I still have confidence in you... 80% confidence!"

Su Yang said with satisfaction: "That's already very high!"

He also felt that his performance this time was good.

Compared to the top businessmen in the country who are good at bluffing, there might still be a gap.

But it should definitely be at the top level of the industry.

Truly skilled top businessmen are those who can swindle hundreds of millions, billions, or tens of billions from investors into their own pockets.

"Then, does Boss have confidence in yourself?" Yu Chengjun asked curiously, "That company loses millions, even tens of millions every year; that's not a small amount."

"Even if it loses tens of millions every year, it's not a problem for me!" Su Yang said with a smile, "As for building this brand, I am quite confident. If three hundred million doesn't work, then five hundred million; if five hundred million doesn't work, then a billion... I will succeed eventually!"

"..."

Yu Chengjun felt her brain go a bit numb!

She felt that when her boss talked about throwing hundreds of millions in funds around, it was as easy as eating and drinking.

Just after returning to the Rongcheng headquarters, Jiang Yuzhen told Su Yang that the four team leaders of Meijia Housekeeping had arrived.

Su Yang asked Jiang Yuzhen to have them come to his office.

Just after sitting down, Su Yang saw these four team leaders.

Ever since Meijia Housekeeping was established, Meijia had set up a ground promotion team.

This ground promotion team started by helping Meijia Housekeeping with publicity, and later undertook ground promotion businesses for companies like Spark Fitness, Jiuxiang Food, Hongyu Law Firm, Menghai Travel, and so on.

Of course, the treatment Su Yang gave the ground promotion employees was definitely good.

A basic monthly salary of four thousand, plus social security and performance commissions.

Capable ground promotion employees could easily earn over ten thousand per month.

Similarly, this profession has a low threshold but is also a high-turnover industry.

Many employees couldn't persist for long!

Su Yang didn't really mind this.

If they weren't suitable, they could leave; changing careers early was actually quite good!

Su Yang had once promised the team leaders and supervisors of Meijia Housekeeping that when a ground promotion company was established in the future, he would prioritize promoting these leaders to the company's management. Now, it was time to fulfill that promise.

Now that Su Yang had more and more companies and businesses, and the ground promotion team had absorbed quite a few talents, it was already necessary to set up his own ground promotion company!

Of course, three of these four team leaders were "new" faces.

Several other leaders had either poor performance, falsified data, liked to squeeze out newcomers, or for other reasons... had been eliminated before the company was even established!

The remaining four were all seasoned ground promotion experts who were quite capable, had bottom lines, and were good at leading teams.

"Sit!"

Su Yang pointed to the sofa opposite him.

"Okay, Boss!"

The four team leaders sat on the sofa properly. After the secretary poured them water, Su Yang chatted with them about setting up the ground promotion company.

He had already ordered people to register the ground promotion company a few days ago.

Even the office location had been rented; it would be in the same office as Mingxuan GG!

He had even let a headhunting firm find a general manager for the ground promotion company.

It wouldn't be too bad coordinating with Xiao Min and the others!

"Xiao Min, you will be the deputy general manager of the ground promotion company, with an annual salary of four hundred thousand to start, plus a 3% performance dividend. The rest will depend directly on your results," Su Yang said to the forty-year-old team leader who had the longest tenure, the best talent, the most outstanding ability, and the best performance in Meijia Housekeeping. "If the ground promotion company expands in scale, I will consider increasing your salary!"

"Okay, Boss!"

Xiao Min nodded with a smile.

He knew his own abilities very well; being able to serve as deputy general manager and get an annual salary of four hundred thousand was already very satisfying.

He actually didn't have experience serving as a high-level executive in a company.

If he were actually asked to be the general manager, he would be a bit worried instead!

The other three team leaders had no objections to this; it could be considered what everyone expected.

Some of them had even received guidance from Xiao Min!

Next, Su Yang arranged management positions for the other three team leaders, which was a happy situation for everyone.

Two days later, Xingmang Ground Promotion was officially established. Su Yang transferred a loyal and capable finance person into Xingmang Ground Promotion to serve as deputy general manager in charge of finance.

He also supplemented the middle and lower-level management and general staff, which helped set up the structure for the ground promotion company.

At this time, the general manager of the ground promotion company, Fang Yukai, also came to report.

Fang Yukai had originally served as deputy general manager at a well-known ground promotion company in Shancheng, and could be considered an old hand in the industry.

Before the internet era fully took off, he had helped companies like Wahaha with ground promotion, and had also done ground promotion for Huagong Education, Taobao, Meituan, and Douyin, which was how he was promoted to the position of deputy general manager.

At this stage, his career path hit a bottleneck!

After Su Yang extended an olive branch to him, Fang Yukai hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

Jufan Holdings looked powerful and wealthy. Whether it was Spark Entertainment, Jiuxiang Catering, or Jiuxiang Food, they were all well-known companies in the country, with much stronger capital than his original ground promotion company!

And Su Yang was young, promising, aggressive, and full of ambition for the ground promotion company, speaking right away about wanting to develop the company's business nationwide...

Plus the annual salary of seven hundred thousand and 5% equity dividend promised by Su Yang, Fang Yukai, who had a career-oriented mindset, directly pledged his allegiance!

Of course, after Fang Yukai arrived at Xingmang, he also brought his own team.

Su Yang reviewed them slightly and agreed!

Soon, the management of Xingmang Ground Promotion was finalized, and the headquarters staff stabilized.

And all the original ground promotion employees of Meijia Housekeeping also took the opportunity to join Xingmang Ground Promotion.

Because Su Yang placed Xingmang Ground Promotion under Mingxuan GG, Xingmang Ground Promotion became a subsidiary of Mingxuan GG!

[Ding~ Detected that you own a ground promotion company. This ground promotion company is a subsidiary of Mingxuan GG and can share the special buff of Mingxuan GG, but will no longer receive achievement rewards... Merge?]

"Merge!"

Su Yang had the intention of merging when he put the ground promotion company under Mingxuan GG.

Because these two companies were naturally complementary in resources and had the same function!

[Ding~ Detected that the number of employees under your Mingxuan GG has exceeded one hundred. You have obtained an achievement reward: 3 Charisma points, and all buffs of Mingxuan GG have been upgraded.]

[Ding~ Your Mingxuan GG (Xingmang Ground Promotion) has obtained a special buff: Publicity and promotion effect increased by +50%, ability to communicate with customers +30%!]

Seeing this buff, Su Yang was quite satisfied.

It is difficult for an Advertising Company to break the scale of one hundred people.

But if you add the ground promotion company, it would be easier to scale up!

Just recently, Jiuxiang Food needed to place television advertisements.

And after the ground promotion company gained the buff bonus, its publicity and promotion capabilities would have a qualitative leap!

After losing more than three hundred ground promotion employees, the total number of employees in Meijia Housekeeping still remained over one thousand.

Of course, even if Meijia Housekeeping fell below the one-thousand-employee scale, the system would not deduct his various achievement rewards and body attribute points, it would only weaken its special buff!

It's just that when breaking the one-thousand-employee scale again in the future, there would be no special achievement rewards.

The special buff would also be restored to the one-thousand-employee scale.

Subsequently, Su Yang convened Wang Haolin, Fang Yukai, Xiao Min, and a group of other Mingxuan GG and Xingmang Ground Promotion executives, and held a meeting together.

Su Yang slightly emphasized the importance of ground promotion to the group company.

Then he stated that he would initially invest twenty million in funds to let Xingmang Ground Promotion follow in the footsteps of Meijia Housekeeping, Hongyu Law Firm, and Menghai Travel to expand outward.

As long as the results were good, he would invest no less than five hundred million in the later stages!

Hearing Su Yang's words, Fang Yukai felt very excited.

Is this what a big company is like?

Talking about five hundred million so casually, really not treating money as money!

He felt that his career had hope of reaching a peak at Jufan Holdings.

Su Yang was also very gratified to see the group of executives at Xingmang Ground Promotion so excited.

Because of the golden finger attribute, doing ground promotion was completely sending him money!

The biggest cost of ground promotion is still labor costs.

Besides that, it might be publicity materials.

What he feared the least happened to be labor costs!

And for publicity materials, Mingxuan GG could be completely responsible.

As for taking on businesses from other companies, Mingxuan GG was also professional.

When the ground promotion team was at Meijia, Mingxuan GG had already taken on quite a few businesses for them!

Finally, Su Yang asked Xingmang Ground Promotion to organize its internal affairs first, and then send key personnel to Xiang Province to cooperate with the business promotion of Meijia Housekeeping.

Not long after Su Yang handled the matters of Xingmang Ground Promotion, he received replies from Shancheng Textile Group and Han Kun.

Shancheng Textile Group had already discussed it with Han Kun. The Textile Group was willing to sell the 12% stake it held to Su Yang, and Han Kun was also willing to sell 55% of the shares, at a valuation of 200 million.

By securing the 55% stake in Han Kun's hands, plus the 12% stake from the Textile Group, Jiuxiang Food could get 67% of the shares of Tiancheng Cola, fully grasping the controlling interest, which Su Yang could accept!

During this period, besides being busy with company matters, Su Yang had also been maintaining communication with Shancheng.

Han Kun did not reject Jufan Holdings and Jiuxiang Food, and was also interested in cooperation.

Su Yang's words in the office back then had moved him!

If possible, who would want the company in their hands to lose money?

No matter how you look at it, Su Yang had more advantages than him and was more likely to lead Tiancheng Cola to a revival!

But at first, he was only willing to sell 40% of the shares, letting Jiuxiang Food take the 12% stake from the Textile Group, and controlling it with 52% of the shares!

However, under Su Yang's insistence, and as Jiuxiang Food began to look for other small beverage brands to acquire, Shancheng was a bit unable to sit still, and eventually, Han Kun gradually made concessions in the negotiations.

The reason was very realistic. Now Jufan Holdings was developing rapidly and had quite a reputation in both Rongcheng and Shancheng.

Compared to Han Kun, the official side in Shancheng was more willing to trust Su Yang.

More willing to trust Jiuxiang Food, which was in an upward phase and already had the potential to become a leader in the snack industry.

Moreover, no one was willing to take over the 12% stake held by the Textile Group until now.

Only Su Yang was willing to acquire it at a premium.

The one who most wanted to facilitate this transaction was actually the Textile Group, which was an official enterprise!

Su Yang had used Business Deduction and knew that if Jiuxiang Food hadn't intervened, Han Kun would have eventually taken over the 12% stake from the Textile Group.

That is to say, when he said he had feelings for Tiancheng Cola, it shouldn't have been entirely false.

He should still have had certain expectations for Tiancheng Cola!

If Jiuxiang Food had first bought the 12% stake of Tiancheng Cola in the hands of the Textile Group, it might have similarly competed with Han Kun.

But even if Jiuxiang Food had finally won, after acquiring the 12% stake of Tiancheng Cola at a premium, it would still have to face Han Kun, the major shareholder who controlled the remaining 88% of the shares.

And Tiancheng Cola would have become a true private enterprise, and even the officials would not have been able to interfere too much!

At that time, if Jiuxiang Food had negotiated with Han Kun to control Tiancheng Cola again, it would have been skinned alive.

Therefore, the current outcome was exactly what Su Yang wanted to see!

Not only did he not worsen his relationship with Han Kun, but he also grasped the initiative!
