621: Chapter 621 The Person Who Influences Fate! December Salary Returned! 3.4 Billion Yuan!

Chapter 621: The Person Who Influences Destiny! December Salary Refund! 400 Million in Funds!

They knew very well that the big boss was the one who held the power over their future and destiny!

But precisely because they knew it too well, they were all dissatisfied with their performance just now.

They hadn't been prepared at all and were caught completely off guard!

"Acting?" Yao Yujia gently bumped her head against the dance studio wall. Feeling the pain, she murmured, "But after practicing dance for so many years... I'm a bit unwilling to give up!"

"And what if you're unwilling?" Li Yijia whispered. "I'm almost twenty, and I still have to rely on my family to support me..."

Yao Yujia suddenly looked at Diao Xueying, who hadn't spoken yet: "Xueying, what do you think?"

Back at the company, her relationship with Diao Xueying hadn't been very good; they were competitors, and neither would submit to the other!

However, after going to South Korea, their relationship quickly grew closer. They became inseparable, huddling together for warmth in a foreign land.

After staying in South Korea for a few months, failing to debut, and returning to the country with no hope in sight, they had constantly comforted and encouraged each other.

If Diao Xueying chose to give up, she didn't know if she could keep going herself.

Although Diao Xueying seemed aloof, she was actually quite attentive and kind. She sang well, though she was a bit sensitive, slightly pessimistic, and occasionally acted crazy.

Li Yijia and another person, Du Xiaoyu, were both trained by Lirong Media.

They had participated in the final season of Youth With You and Produce Camp respectively, but both had flopped silently. They hadn't even managed to get many shots, and they returned as nobodies!

Diao Xueying tilted her head and looked at Yao Yujia: "If I'm not an idol... I don't even know what else I can do!"

Du Xiaoyu said in a low voice: "Sister Xueying is so pretty and can sing and dance, she would definitely make money doing live streaming!"

Diao Xueying looked at Du Xiaoyu expressionlessly, making Du Xiaoyu feel a bit guilty: "I don't want to do live streaming..."

Yao Yujia said optimistically: "But looking at the big picture, with Lirong Media being acquired, our opportunities have increased!"

"Yes, yes, yes, opportunities have increased, and Spark Entertainment is still very strong!"

Su Yang naturally didn't know that the contracted artists of the former Lirong Media were discussing him. After exchanging words with Dou Lirong, he took Guo Xueqin, Cheng Wenhuo, and Tian Hanxiong to have a meal with the person in charge of the Huashang Group in Rongcheng, as well as the executives of Xinyue Supermarket, which served as a simple way to get to know each other.

Now, both sides had reached a preliminary acquisition agreement!

Huashang Group was not a local Rongcheng enterprise and had always kept a low profile domestically.

They did even more diverse businesses than Su Yang; as long as it could make money, they did it!

It wasn't limited to retail supermarkets; they also did things like real estate and finance.

This time, selling off Xinyue Supermarket was also an attempt to obtain some liquid capital to reduce the pressure of corporate debt.

Originally, the Xinyue Supermarket chain was not their first choice for selling off assets; it was Tian Hanxiong who had encouraged it.

He said he could find a big buyer with abundant cash flow who would pay very readily...

Su Yang seemed to be chatting casually with these people, but through various leading questions, he had roughly figured out their bottom line and the true situation of Xinyue Supermarket!

They certainly wouldn't reveal anything with their mouths, but their internal thoughts were inevitable.

Soon, the date arrived at January 7th, the day for paying salaries.

"Ding~ In December, you received a total of Spark Entertainment Group (6711), Spark Fitness (2451), Jiuxiang Catering (5053), Jiuxiang Food (33.41 million), Fengyuan Ingredients (17.79 million), Hongyu Law Firm (4.69 million), Meijia Housekeeping (12.13 million), Yulong Technology (1.46 million), Yanhu Education (9.11 million), Menghai Travel (222), Shangxin Psychology (920,000), Shenmiao Pets (2.86 million), Shenying Security (7.05 million), Yuanshi Private Equity (106), Sihua Clothing (5.27 million), Jufan Holdings (9.41 million). The total employee salary and benefit refund is 495.3 billion."

"Ding~ The loyalty of employees like Huo Maili and Feng Qianhao from companies including Spark Fitness and Jiuxiang Food has increased to 90. You have received a cash reward of 2.56 million, 2 strength points, 1 constitution point, 3 agility points, and 1 spirit point."

"Ding~ The loyalty of Spark Fitness employees has reached 90. You have received Bodybuilding Training Skill +1."

"Ding~ The loyalty of Jiuxiang Food employee Ren Yutao has reached 90. You have received Warehouse Management Knowledge +1."

"Ding~ The loyalty of Yanhu Education employee Chen Yihan has reached 90. You have received Pipa Playing Skill +1."

"Ding~ The loyalty of Jufan Holdings employee Chen Xiaorong has reached 90. You have received a Personal IQ Boost Card for Chen Xiaorong's Dream x1."

"Ding~ The loyalty of Fengyuan Ingredients employee Liu Zhiyuan has reached 90. You have received a 3 million 'Lying Flat' Fund Card for Liu Zhiyuan's Dream."

A continuous stream of knowledge and skills poured into Su Yang's mind. After half a minute, once he recovered, he first turned his attention to this special reward.

"Ding~ Personal IQ Boost Card for Chen Xiaorong's Dream: After use, it can make a person slightly smarter."

"Note: Chen Xiaorong always feels that she is a bit slow and does everything somewhat slowly. Especially compared to the graduates from prestigious universities who recently joined Jufan Holdings, she feels a bit inferior."

Su Yang recalled the information about the woman named Chen Xiaorong.

Chen Xiaorong was one of the earliest employees of Jufan Holdings and was already married with children.

She had previously worked in administration at Jiuxiang Catering, but later, when Jufan Holdings was founded, it needed a group of employees to do odd jobs.

Su Yang saw that her loyalty was relatively high and she worked quite diligently, so he transferred her to headquarters!

Her work was indeed relatively slow, but it was also quite careful, and Su Yang felt it was decent enough.

The work she did didn't require a very high level of education anyway!

As for her not being able to compare to the young people who had recently joined the headquarters, that was perfectly normal.

The Jufan Holdings headquarters now had requirements for academic qualifications, and many were personally recruited by Su Yang!

They were all backup talents who were excellent in both talent and academic qualifications!

So... a card that only he could see suddenly appeared in Su Yang's hand, and then the card instantly turned into light spots and merged into his body.

It didn't seem like he felt anything. Could it be that he was already very smart?

Su Yang didn't think too much about it and looked at Liu Zhiyuan's 3 million 'Lying Flat' funds...

This employee's dream was to save up three million to retire. He was likely an employee of a subsidiary under Fengyuan Ingredients. This time, through Fengyuan Ingredients, Su Yang had discussed with the shareholders of other subsidiaries and helped them secure a year-end bonus!

However, is 3 million really enough to 'lie flat'?

Su Yang decided to accept these three million with a smile; having too many savings was not conducive to the struggle of young people!

He looked again at the nearly 500 million in salary and benefit refunds this month and didn't find it strange.

Not to mention the year-end bonuses, Jiuxiang Catering also took out 20 million for dividends, allowing headquarters employees to receive an average of over 10,000 each.

Of course, this was just an average; the management definitely received more!

But it was also Su Yang's attitude!

Jiuxiang Catering taking out 20 million was already the limit, as they still had to consider liquid operating funds, such as opening stores, operations, and promotion.

Then there was Spark Media in Rongcheng, which took out 40 million for dividends. Every ordinary employee of Spark Media in Rongcheng could also receive an average of nearly 10,000 more.

Of course, this was also just an average; the actual amount received might be around 7,000.

But Su Yang couldn't divide it equally; otherwise, who would want to be a manager? The management had indeed contributed a lot to the company!

If some incompetent leaders came along, even if they were standing at the forefront of the industry, they could still run the company into the ground!

Combined with the year-end bonus, the salary of ordinary Spark Media employees had definitely more than tripled, which was quite good!

Then there was Heili Film and Television. When distributing dividends, Su Yang gave an extra 4 million in bonuses to the management and employees who didn't receive dividends. Each person could receive an average of about 20,000, which should be enough for a prosperous year!

He couldn't take too much of the funds in the Heili Film and Television account; a lot of money still needed to be used for advertising investment!

Linyi Film and Television also made money, but he only gave the employees extra bonuses.

The tens of millions in funds in Linyi Film and Television were actually not much and would soon be invested into projects.

As for other companies, there wasn't much money in their accounts in the short term, so there were no dividends at all.

After all, he, the boss, hadn't taken any money himself, so it was already good enough to have a year-end bonus.

Many companies these days, let alone year-end bonuses, were doing well just by not laying off staff or cutting salaries!

Moreover, their salary and benefits were not low, consistently maintaining a first-class to top-tier level in the region.

There was also relatively less overtime!

Finally, there was the dividend income from Jufan Holdings.

Jufan Holdings had recouped nearly 60 million in funds through this dividend distribution from Spark Media and Jiuxiang Catering!

Su Yang had finally seen some money coming back, which was not easy!

Of course, Su Yang did not intend to withdraw the money; if he withdrew the money himself, he would have to pay taxes.

Unlike dividends or bonuses, where employees could help him 'pay on his behalf' the personal income tax!

So it was better to leave it in the headquarters' account and look for opportunities to invest it.

Or help subsidiaries that needed development!

When Su Yang paid salaries last month, he had over 300 million in funds on hand.

Not long ago, he spent over 50 million to invest in TV commercials for Jiuxiang Food, injected the promised 50+ million into Tiancheng Cola to complete the capital increase, and invested over 10 million into Meijia Housekeeping, leaving him with over 190 million on hand.

With this salary refund, plus the reward for employees reaching 90 loyalty, he obtained another 150+ million in funds, so the cash on hand slowly accumulated to over 340 million!

Looking at the 60 million in funds of Jufan Holdings, plus the funds scattered in the accounts of companies like Spark Media, Jiuxiang Catering, Fengyuan Ingredients, and Yanhu Education... he felt that this money was clearly increasing the more he spent it!

He took a look at the enterprise management panel, and the loyalty of the employees had improved overall again!

Adding 2 strength points, 1 constitution point, 3 agility points, and 1 spirit point to his physical attributes, Su Yang stretched his muscles and bones a little, then walked out of the office.

Arriving at Guo Xueqin's office, Su Yang saw Guo Xueqin staring at the screen with a smile on her lips.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

He knocked on the door. Guo Xueqin looked up, saw Su Yang, stood up, and smiled: "Boss, is there anything?"

"Sit down!"

Su Yang sat on the sofa opposite her: "How much money does our Charity Mutual Aid Fund have?"

"The account has over a million!" Guo Xueqin clicked on the computer, glanced at the screen, and said: "1.21 million. Employees donated nearly 270,000, the company put up a corresponding amount, and the rest is personal donations!"

"Are the employees enthusiastic about donating?"

"Most of them donated!"

"Print out the list of personal donations and show it to me tomorrow!"

"Mm, okay!"
