611: Chapter 611 Xinyue Supermarket Chain and Xianglong Football Team!
"Is it you?"
Su Yang sized up the young Wang Yang, unable to help but recall his talents.
Two-star speed talent, two-star strength talent, three-star constitution talent, three-star shooting talent, four-star positioning talent; he could be considered gifted!
"Boss, I can train!"
Su Yang thought for a moment and asked, "Do you really like playing football?"
"I really do!" Wang Yang nodded very seriously. "Just give me a chance. If I can't make it, I won't blame anyone!"
"But your job..."
"It's fine, I'm still young!"
Su Yang nodded. "If I start a professional team, I will definitely give you a chance!"
Su Yang had chatted with Wang Yang before and knew a bit about his situation.
Wang Yang was from Rongcheng. He had just graduated this year from the computing major of a 985 university and was currently working at a state-owned enterprise.
He had enjoyed sports since he was a child, showing good talent early on. He was almost coaxed by his P.E. teacher to become a student athlete, but his parents had stopped him.
Because he came from a county town, he hadn't had any exposure to football.
It wasn't until college that he accidentally came into contact with football and fell in love with the sport.
In college, through hard work, he successfully defeated many student athletes and became an official member of the school football team.
During that time, he also led the school football team to participate in quite a few competitions, gaining a little bit of fame.
He had even gone to a professional football team for a trial once, but he was cut!
In Su Yang's view, Wang Yang had the talent to become a top-tier player; he just hadn't received the proper training.
However, he was now quite indifferent to such situations!
Wang Yang said happily, "Thank you, Boss!"
After Su Yang left, Zhang Yunzhong found Xie Yuxiang and said, "Old Xie, why did you persuade the Boss to go to other provinces to do football?"
"What the Boss said isn't unreasonable!" Xie Yuxiang said helplessly. "The competition for football in Rongcheng is too fierce; it's better to develop elsewhere."
"Sigh!"
Xie Yuxiang complained, "It's already great that the Boss agreed to do professional football; what more could you ask for?"
"Alright!"
Zhang Yunzhong admitted that Xie Yuxiang made sense.
By the weekend, Su Yang had received several congratulatory calls.
It turned out that Matong Station had announced to the outside world that they had purchased the full copyright of "only you in the whole world" from Linyi Film and Television for 150 million!
Although the news didn't trend on the hot search, it still attracted the attention of quite a few Weibo fan circles.
At the very least, Chen Tao and Tang Ximing's fans were happy!
Just at this time, Su Yang received a call from Yu Siying; Dou Lirong was willing to sell the company.
By Monday, Su Yang assigned Cheng Wenhuo the task of contacting Dou Lirong.
In the afternoon, Su Yang received another call from Tian Hanxiong. This time, Tian Hanxiong brought Su Yang good news: the local Xinyue Supermarket chain in Rongcheng had plans to sell!
Tian Hanxiong also gave Su Yang a detailed explanation of the approximate scale of Xinyue Supermarket.
Xinyue Supermarket was considered one of the larger-scale supermarkets in Rongcheng.
It currently had over 1,000 employees and over 100 stores.
It was involved in business areas such as supermarket chains, convenience store chains, e-commerce, logistics and distribution, and farmers' markets.
It owned 39 standard supermarkets, 32 convenience stores, 25 campus stores, and over 40 unmanned vending machines.
Standard supermarket, that is, a standard supermarket.
It usually refers to supermarkets with an area between 3,000-5,000 square meters, with about 5,000-8,000 types of products.
A standard supermarket is a type of supermarket. Compared with supermarkets of different scales such as hypermarkets, general supermarkets, and convenience stores, standard supermarkets are smaller in scale but can still provide a relatively comprehensive selection of products.
Upon hearing Tian Hanxiong's description, Su Yang couldn't help but feel better.
Compared to a five-star hotel, this supermarket chain satisfied him more!
Su Yang asked with a smile, "Can it be sold as a whole?"
"Yes!" Tian Hanxiong said in a low voice. "I asked their parent company, Chengshang Group, and they do indeed have the intention to sell!"
"About how much money will it take?"
"At least 300 million!" Tian Hanxiong thought for a moment and said, "It should exceed 300 million!"
"Hmm!"
"Does President Su have any capital pressure?"
"Yes, but not too much!"
"Uh..."
Su Yang asked in a low voice, "Don't you know I've earned another few tens of millions recently?"
Tian Hanxiong said silently, "I don't know..."
"Check the news, my subsidiary, Linyi Film and Television under Spark Entertainment Group!"
"Oh!"
"But I still need your help with this matter. If I lack money for the retail supermarket business in the future, if I need money, I will definitely prioritize seeking a loan from you!"
"That works too!"
"Old Tian, I'll treat you to a meal another day to thank you!"
"Is it the kind where I can bring my wife?"
"Of course you can. Don't think too badly of me; I'm a decent person too!"
Hanging up the phone, Su Yang's mood improved again. At least for a short time, he didn't have to worry about how to spend his money.
Moreover, the retail supermarket would definitely be helpful to his other subsidiaries; there was nothing wrong with doing this business!
Then he called Cheng Wenhuo and asked him to prepare to contact Tian Hanxiong!
As for why Cheng Wenhuo hadn't noticed Xinyue Supermarket, Su Yang didn't care.
Cheng Wenhuo and those employees in the Mergers and Acquisitions Department surely didn't have as up-to-date information as the bank!
"The Boss seems to be in a very good mood today!"
Yu Chengjun entered Su Yang's office. Seeing Su Yang happily spinning in his boss chair and humming a song, she knew he must be in a very good mood!
"Hmm!"
Su Yang nodded with a smile and then patted his thigh.
Yu Chengjun gently closed the office door and sat on Su Yang's lap.
Su Yang held her in his arms and asked, "How is Xie Yanlei doing?"
Su Yang acted like a righteous gentleman who wouldn't be tempted even while holding a beauty, which made Yu Chengjun a little disappointed. However, she still replied, "The doctor said the surgery was very successful!"
"Has his love and mutual aid agreement been signed?"
"It's signed!"
"You did well!"
"Is there a reward then?"
"I'll give it to you right now!"
"Give me what?"
Su Yang smiled and gently kissed her lips.
Yu Chengjun was slightly moved and soon began to interact with Su Yang!
Recently, although Su Yang and Yu Chengjun's relationship hadn't made any "substantial" progress.
But he had taken advantage of her just about everywhere he could!
She was still holding onto her bottom line and still wanted Su Yang to make promises like marriage, but Su Yang refused to budge.
Both sides had a bit of a tug-of-war vibe.
This feeling of tug-of-war was quite interesting and added a lot of color to Su Yang's life.
Xie Yuxiang's actions over there were also very fast. Before long, Su Yang knew the situation of Shancheng Tonglong, Cangcheng Xiongshi, and Xiang Province Xianglong.
Behind Shancheng Tonglong was a state-owned enterprise, preparing to advance to the Chinese Super League, and it needed a large amount of funds for signing new players!
Hearing that Jufan Holdings was interested in entering the football industry, Shancheng Tonglong was somewhat tempted.
Xie Yuxiang's meaning was that if Su Yang promised to provide enough capital, it should be possible to buy it.
The debts of this Chinese Super League team, Cangcheng Xiongshi, might have reached 200 million, including historical debts and unpaid wages.
If one considered next year's expenses, it might be necessary to prepare over 300 million in funds.
They were also quite enthusiastic towards Xie Yuxiang; it was definitely possible to negotiate!
The China League Two team, Xiang Province Xianglong, belonged to the small and cheap kind.
Buying it might not even cost a few million; the team had debts, but it might only be a few million.
And behind Xianglong Club, the parent company in Shenzhen also encountered problems, and the players were owed wages...
Xie Yuxiang also met with a leader surnamed Hu from the relevant department there. That leader was also quite enthusiastic when hearing that someone was willing to invest in football!
Su Yang thought for a moment and told Xie Yuxiang to talk to Xianglong.
If he ran a professional football club, he estimated it would be difficult to invest too much capital in the short term.
He definitely needed to put more capital into real industries like retail!
Running a professional football team was just a plan for the sports industry in the future!
After all, in the sports industry, there was only football and e-sports; he couldn't be expected to do billiards, right!
Xianglong was a bit small, but small could be cute. Supporting them with at most 10-20 million a year would be enough.
Su Yang could support them for years just by filming a TV series!
Moreover, the burden was small; Su Yang could do whatever he wanted, paint however he pleased, and make long-term plans slowly!
Isn't that interesting?
Of course, he still had to take the discounts and subsidies that he was entitled to!
As for Tonglong and Xiongshi, they carried the "expectations" of a city on their backs, and official forces would likely intervene, making it harder for him to manage.
But Xianglong! The other side didn't seem to have many choices!
Local companies probably weren't willing to invest; if they were, they would have acted long ago.
Since he was willing to invest in football, he should belong to the relatively stronger side, and it would be easier to negotiate.
Moreover, since Xianglong was established over ten years ago, it had only won the China League Two championship.
As long as the club achieved even a little bit of success, the fans should be satisfied; it should be the type that was easier to please!
