605: Chapter 605 puts pressure on the executives again! Of course they have to donate!

Guo Xueqin established the Jufan Love Mutual Aid Fund with great speed. At the Monday staff meeting, Su Yang notified the executives of each subsidiary about the establishment of the Jufan Love Mutual Aid Fund.

Upon hearing that Su Yang had not set a donation target, that it was not a mandatory donation, and that he only requested that every employee be notified and those who wished to donate should write an application, the executives felt slightly relieved.

They understood Su Yang; if he said it wasn't mandatory, then it certainly wouldn't be mandatory!

If it were a company-mandated donation, they would truly feel the pressure!

It wasn't a matter of how much money was involved, but a matter of the employees' morale.

"However, I still want to emphasize one thing!" Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "In the future, those employees who donate will have priority in receiving help from the Jufan Love Mutual Aid Fund."

All the executives nodded, feeling that this was fair!

After listening to the work reports from the various companies and roughly understanding their progress, Su Yang began to apply pressure on the executives.

Su Yang looked at Yi Jiangang, and Yi Jiangang quickly said, "Boss, several fitness chains have contacted us recently. I will report them to you after the meeting... I have also found a few manufacturers that make protein powder!"

"Good!"

Su Yang nodded in satisfaction. Yi Jiangang had already planned ahead; he was a good subordinate!

Subsequently, he looked at Tan Yanghong, and Tan Yanghong also quickly said, "Boss, I have identified three small companies that make pet food. Can I report them to you after the meeting?"

"Sure!"

This was indeed a task Su Yang had given Tan Yanghong before, and Tan Yanghong had not forgotten it.

He then looked at Yu Siying, and Yu Siying also said in a low voice, "Boss, I recently met someone who runs an idol management company. I think that boss has some talent, but lacks capital. Should we delve deeper into the entertainment industry?"

Su Yang frowned slightly. "That's not impossible!"

The Spark Entertainment Group was indeed lacking in the idol management sector.

Moreover, Linyi Film and Television really needed this kind of professional talent; they needed someone to manage fans.

Linyi Film and Television's capabilities had always been biased toward film production, rather than the idol economy!

Knowing how to monetize celebrities and how to fleece fans was indeed a skill!

Furthermore, Su Yang had always wanted to spin off the artiste management company from Spark Entertainment.

Yu Siying smiled and asked, "Then should I arrange for her to meet with you, Boss?"

Su Yang nodded. "Sure!"

Then, his gaze swept over the executives of the other subsidiaries, and finally, he fixed his gaze on Cheng Wenhuo.

Cheng Wenhuo said helplessly, "Boss, I have contacted several chain supermarkets recently, and we are still in talks!"

"Fine!"

Seeing that everyone had taken the tasks he had mentioned to heart, Su Yang felt a bit better.

After the meeting, Su Yang chatted with Yi Jiangang and Cheng Wenhuo in his office. From among several fitness chains, Su Yang selected the Xiang Province Qiangji Fitness chain!

This fitness chain had no large commercial gyms, five medium-sized commercial gyms, and the rest were twenty-seven small gyms, distributed across Xiang Province and Hubei Province.

Judging from the results of the Business Deduction, this gym chain also had the best financial situation among the many gyms looking to sell, belonging to the steady operation type.

The losses were not severe, and it could barely break even each month.

It just so happened that Su Yang's Jiuxiang Catering had also expanded into those two provinces, so Su Yang decided to have the company prioritize acquiring this one!

"Old Cheng, make this one a priority to acquire!" Su Yang said, narrowing his eyes. "When I was on a business trip to Xiang Province, I inspected this fitness chain, and I felt it was quite good!"

Cheng Wenhuo nodded repeatedly. "Understood, Boss!"

Yi Jiangang, who was sitting next to him, looked full of admiration.

He hadn't expected that when the boss was on a business trip in Xiang Province, he hadn't forgotten to inspect the local gyms!

He had thought the boss was just playing while on his business trip!

Su Yang asked again, "What about the protein powder factory?"

Yi Jiangang said in a low voice, "Should I organize the information and give it to you this afternoon, Boss?"

Su Yang nodded. "Sure!"

Su Yang asked Cheng Wenhuo about the supermarkets again and discovered that the two chain supermarkets Cheng Wenhuo had contacted were not very cost-effective; they were either too expensive or their overall operations were poor, so he told him to keep looking!

After Yi Jiangang left, Tan Yanghong entered Su Yang's office.

Tan Yanghong did provide Su Yang with relatively detailed information on three local pet food companies.

These three pet food companies were all small businesses; the largest only had twenty employees!

Rather than calling them companies, it would be better to call them small workshops.

Under normal circumstances, Su Yang certainly wouldn't have any interest in these small companies and small workshops.

But now that he was getting into pet medical care, the pet food industry was a supplement!

These three pet food companies, like others in the pet food business, had no physical stores.

They were almost exclusively focused on e-commerce business.

As for the business of these three pet food companies, it was naturally not very good.

Two were losing money, and only one was barely profitable!

Su Yang hesitated for a moment, thought about his overly wealthy wallet, and then said, "Take a look and see if there are any larger pet food companies!"

For some reason, he felt a bit disdainful when he saw these small companies now!

He needed some big companies to spend the money he had on hand!

Tan Yanghong asked in a low voice, "How big does the boss want them to be?"

"At least tens of millions!"

Tan Yanghong said helplessly, "Boss, you don't even have that many pet hospitals!"

"They will expand in the future!"

"Fine, I'll keep looking!"

"Mm!" Su Yang nodded. "At least tens of millions; hundreds of millions would be fine too!"

The pet food market was still quite large; the annual revenue of the leading domestic pet food company was nearly five billion.

Moreover, this was a track that was still growing, and at least it looked much better than the catering industry!

The competition was also far less intense than in the catering industry; Jiuxiang Food could definitely consider getting a slice of the pie!

"Understood, but if it's a company worth hundreds of millions, a full acquisition will probably be difficult!"

"Don't worry, I'm mentally prepared!"

Tan Yanghong clearly felt that the boss's appetite had grown.

In the past, when he acquired or annexed small companies worth millions, the boss would be quite satisfied.

That wouldn't do now; it had to be at least tens of millions to satisfy the boss's appetite!

Alright! The main thing was that he didn't value the protein powder industry very much.

In the Jiuxiang Catering office, after Ji Guoxiong returned to the company, he had his secretary post about the establishment of the Jufan Love Mutual Aid Fund and the donations in the group chat.

Jiuxiang Catering also specified that this donation was on a voluntary basis, but employees who donated would receive priority assistance from the Mutual Aid Fund in the event of a crisis!

The principle adopted by the headquarters was that for every dollar an employee donated, the company would donate the same amount.

If employees were willing to donate 10 yuan per month, they should download the file from the group files, sign it, and submit it to the Finance Department.

Besides this, the secretary was also notifying the managers of each province and region, telling them to execute according to the headquarters' orders!

In the Finance Department, Zhang Yan, who was Chen Li's confidante, saw the news and asked Chen Li in a low voice, "Sister Li, should we donate?"

Chen Li smiled. "Does that even need to be asked?"

She tapped her finger, the printer clattered, and a donation application form was printed out immediately.

Zhang Yan said with a smile, "Then print one for me too!"
