The wealthy entrepreneur: I want to support millions of employees!.

Chapter 491: Sky City! Altitude Sickness! Jiuxiang Hotpot is Not for Sale!

"Of course you can!"

Chen Qingzhou knew the difficulties faced by Jiuxiang Food, and the factory did not recruit people casually.

With so many new employees at once, Jiuxiang Food’s production capacity has increased dramatically, and there will definitely be a lot of pressure on sales.

Otherwise, why would factories like labor dispatch?

Hire them when they are needed and lay them off when they are no longer needed.

Very convenient and flexible!

"Put it on the middle of this month!" Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "You should have a good discussion with the PR and advertising companies of Jiuxiang Food and Spark Entertainment, and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Spark Entertainment Group has a lot of marketing tasks recently, and Chizhu Winery can only schedule them until the end of the month.

"Good boss!"

“Have the school’s majors been adjusted?”

"It should be passed in the next few days. It says there are no problems!"

"That's fine!" Su Yang asked again, "What about the funds? Is there any problem with the funds?"

"If I pay the construction company on time, there won't be much money left in my account after next month's salary is paid!"

"Pay the money on time. I'll have the head office transfer the money to you next month. Don't worry!"

"Good boss!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Yang chatted with Tan Yanghong, the general manager of Jiuxiang Food.

In order to facilitate the enrollment of Yanhu Vocational School, the plan was advanced so that he and Yanhu Vocational School could make preparations.

Not long after hanging up the phone, Su Yang received a promotional plan jointly developed by Jiuxiang Catering and Xinghuo Entertainment Group.

After reading it carefully and recommending it using business deduction, I found that after implementing this promotional plan, the performance of all Jiuxiang Hotpot branches will collectively surge significantly in a short period of time.

Although the performance will decline afterwards, the decline will not be too large and many customers will still be retained.

This is enough!

This is also the effect of popularity. Otherwise, why would the company advertise so hard?
Are you worried about having too much money?
With its fame, the hotpot restaurant can attract a wave of traffic wherever it opens, saving a lot of advertising costs.

There will also be less trouble encountered locally!
After all, as a well-known company, it still has to consider the impact in many areas.

We didn’t do much online marketing in the past because of limited funds and the lack of strength of Xinghuo Media.

Jiuxiang Hotpot can make good profits thanks to its location, taste and service.

Su Yang needs to spend money on expanding the scale, so he can only tighten his belt and reduce marketing expenses!

Now he has more money, and Spark Entertainment Group has become a well-established system.

He replied to Ji Guoxiong and Yu Siying in the WeChat group: "It can be executed!"

Yu Siying: "Got it, boss!"

Ji Guoxiong: “Received!”

Kang Xuyan: “Received!”

Wang Haolin: “Received!”

Cheng Jinhua: “Received!”

"..."

After adding six physical points, Su Yang took a look at the beautiful scenery on the grassland and felt refreshed.

At this time, Tao Xue came to him and said coquettishly: "Brother Su, I want to sing a love song with you too!"

"Okay!"

At night, the group admired the starry sky over the grassland and then returned to the hotel.

On the afternoon of the same day, the official self-media in Rongcheng and a few foreign media disclosed a piece of news - Guodi Lao, a well-known domestic hot pot giant, intends to spend 30 billion to acquire the Jiuxiang hot pot chain!
Most of these media just gave a passing mention to Guodi Lao.

After all, this hotpot giant is already extremely well-known in China, almost to the point of being a household name. The purpose of bringing in the hotpot bottom is to attract traffic. Who can blame it for its high traffic?
This company is good at marketing, and even its waiters are often on the hot searches. Who wouldn’t want to take advantage of it?
However, almost all of these media outlets provide detailed introductions to the Jiuxiang Hotpot restaurant chain.

The local media in Rongcheng are praising Jiuxiang Hotpot, saying that Jiuxiang Hotpot has conquered the discerning appetites of the people in Rongcheng and Shancheng with its top-notch deliciousness and high-quality service. In a short period of time, branches have been opened in four provinces and it has officially entered Hunan Province!

At a time when the overall catering industry is declining, Jiuxiang Hotpot has gone against the current and demonstrated its strong competitiveness, and is expected to become the next catering giant worth hundreds of billions of yuan!

The fact that Guodi Lao Group offered 3 billion to acquire the Jiuxiang Hotpot chain, which was established less than two years ago, just proves this point!
By the way, the local media also praised the local business environment and introduced the Jiuxiang Hotpot chain’s sister companies, Weimeijia and Jiuxiang Healthy Catering.

In addition to introducing the Jiuxiang Hotpot chain, various foreign media or financial media also analyzed the reasons why Guodi Lao acquired the Jiuxiang Hotpot chain!
After all, these two businesses are in complete conflict, and conspiracy theories emerged.

Maybe Guodi Lao feels threatened by the expansion of the Jiuxiang hotpot chain...

Guodi Lao wants to eliminate the threat of Jiuxiang Hotpot!
After these media disclosed the information, many other self-media accounts began to forward it. With the growing influence of Xinghuo Entertainment, Su Yang's financial resources, and Guodi Lao's influence, this news quickly became a hot search on several platforms.

Many people have noticed the name of the Jiuxiang Hotpot chain!
Jiuyue: "Three billion! So damn rich! Is this Jiuxiang hotpot delicious?"

Liu Yue Fei Hua: "Let me put it this way! Guo Di Lao's headquarters is still in Rongcheng, but Jiu Xiang Hotpot has overwhelmed Guo Di Lao in Rongcheng. How can it not be delicious?"

Gao Shan Yi Shui: "No wonder Hotpot Di Lao wants to acquire Jiuxiang Hotpot!"

Renjian Fugui: "I can testify to this, Jiuxiang Hotpot is really delicious, better than Guodi Lao. It's hard to comment on the service, they are different styles, each has its own merits!" Nunchaku Yong: "It seems that we don't have Jiuxiang Hotpot in Hangzhou!"

Favorite of 2017: "This is a newly emerged hotpot chain, and it may not have opened in Hangzhou yet!"

City Toke: "I like hot pot. When will it open in Shanghai so I can try it?"

"..."

The next day, at the Rongcheng Guodi Lao headquarters, Lei Weiming, CEO of Guodi Lao Group, saw the information compiled by his secretary, and then took a look at the news that was at the end of the hot searches, his face looked quite gloomy.

The secretary was a little angry and said, "Boss Lei, Jiuxiang Catering is using our fame to hype itself up!"

"Of course I know that!" Lei Weiming squinted his eyes and whispered, "I didn't expect that I still underestimated Ji Guoxiong. I thought he was not good at marketing!"

Lei Mingwei had heard of Ji Guoxiong's name before, but only knew that he was strong in catering management and supply chain.

But it doesn’t matter if it’s strong or not. He doesn’t care. There shouldn’t be too many talents in the domestic catering industry!
Jiuxiang Hotpot restaurants are almost all directly operated stores. They do not need to recruit franchisees, and their online marketing revenue is not high, which led to his illusion.

"It may be that Spark Entertainment Group has made a move!" The secretary thought for a moment and said, "This is also an entertainment company under Jufan Holdings. It is very strong in self-media and has recently entered the film and television industry."

"Ok!"

"Boss Lei, what should we do now? Should we just deny it?"

Lei Weiming shook his head: "We sent the vice president over there. There are cameras everywhere now, and many people in the circle know about it... There's no guarantee that the guy has recordings in his office!"

"Then what do we do?"

"Wait, let me see what Ji Guoxiong has to say first!"

Lei Weiming directly dialed Ji Guoxiong's number.

Seeing Lei Mingwei making a call, Ji Guoxiong took a sip of tea leisurely before answering the phone:

"Boss Lei, why would a busy man like you call me?"

Lei Weiming got straight to the point and said, "Boss Ji, you are not genuine at all!"

Ji Guoxiong pretended to be confused and asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Lei?"

Lei Weiming: "It's those reports on the Internet, don't say you didn't see them!"

Ji Guoxiong suddenly realized, "So that's what happened! I saw it, and I'm investigating the company now. I want to see who leaked our company's confidential information... Don't worry, Mr. Lei, I will definitely give you an explanation!"

Lei Weiming: “…”

Ji Guoxiong: "Many media outlets wanted to interview me early this morning. I'm ready to hold a press conference to dispel the rumors!"

Lei Weiming was surprised and asked, "Are you really going to dispel the rumor?"

Ji Guoxiong said righteously: "The price you offered was clearly 700 million, but the media reported it as 3 billion. Of course our company has to dispel the rumor!"

Lei Weiming was already cursing in his heart!
After hanging up the phone, Lei Weiming took a deep breath and tried hard not to get angry!
"Boss Lei, what should we do now?" the secretary asked in a low voice. "Many media outlets are reporting that we are afraid that the Jiuxiang Hotpot chain will threaten us!"

"Just let it go!"

"May I?"

"We can only deal with it calmly!" Lei Weiming quickly calmed down. "If we quarrel with Jiuxiang Catering, they will be the ones who benefit. They are eager for us to do so... The marketing team behind Ji Guoxiong should be strong!"

"All right!"

Su Yang was in a good mood when he saw the trending searches for Guodi Lao and Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurant early in the morning.

However, they still started to visit Tagong Temple, one of the famous temples of Sakya sect of Tibetan Buddhism on Tagong grassland under the guidance of the tour guide.

The temple houses Tibetan reliefs, colored sculptures, murals, butter products, and a forest of ancient pagodas of various shapes.

After admiring the temple, the group started heading towards the Sky City of Gediram.

"Gediram" is a transliteration from Tibetan, which means "the mountain god relied on by many goddesses" and has the reputation of "the city in the sky".

The Gediram Sky City Observation Deck is located in the air at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, from which you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful snow-capped mountains in western Sichuan, including the Gongga Snow Mountain, Yala Snow Mountain, and Qingrao Snow Mountain.

However, in Gediram, Liu Kai, a security guard transferred from Jiuxiang Food, developed a severe altitude sickness. At the suggestion of Dr. Chen, Su Yang sent someone to send him to Kangding Hospital.

In addition to Liu Kai, Jiang Yan and Chen Li also experienced altitude sickness, but it was not very severe.

They also insisted on staying!
Su Yang thought about it and decided to respect their opinions and ensure that the car was equipped with oxygen production equipment.

Oxygen cylinders are also sold everywhere here!
There are relatively well-developed tourist attractions along the way, with relatively complete medical resources for treating altitude sickness.

The occurrence of altitude sickness was completely within Su Yang and the tour guide's expectations.

However, since everyone drove in, it will give the body a gradual adaptation process.

After asking Dr. Chen to keep a close eye on everyone's conditions, the group rushed to Mugecuo to soak in the hot springs.

At this time, Ji Guoxiong of Jiuxiang Catering also officially held a press conference to confirm to everyone the authenticity of the news that Guodi Lao intended to acquire the Jiuxiang hotpot chain.

However, Guodi Lao’s offer was not 3 billion, but 700 million!

But Ji Guoxiong also said that the Jiuxiang Hotpot chain is not for sale.

Even if the price at the bottom of the pot is 10 billion, they won’t sell it!
He always believes that the development potential of Jiuxiang Hotpot is no less than that of Guodi Lao!
