Chapter 168

Chapter 134 Then why did he say no when I asked him?

Liao Mingjun believes that Fengyuan's valuation should be around nine million.

He is willing to accept Jiuxiang's controlling stake. As long as Jiuxiang pays four million, he can give up 51% of the shares.

Of course, this valuation is just what Liao Mingjun said.

Whether it is worth so much, Ji Guoxiong must send someone to evaluate.

But Liao Mingjun is undoubtedly more sincere!

The two companies willing to accept Jiuxiang Catering's investment should have set their sights on Jiuxiang Hot Pot Restaurant.

The outside world may not know the development status of Jiuxiang Catering, but the company that supplies ingredients to Jiuxiang Catering should have a general understanding.

Su Yang frowned and asked, "Can it be bought directly?"

The approximate valuation of Fengyuan is just in the range that Su Yang can accept the most.

It is not easy for him to sell a more expensive company now!

And Fengyuan's food processing plant also makes him excited.

"I mentioned it to Liao Mingjun, but he refused!" Ji Guoxiong felt that he had underestimated his boss's desire for control. "Liao Mingjun is very ambitious. He hopes that after Jiuxiang becomes a shareholder, Fengyuan can still remain relatively independent, and he will still be in charge of the entire Fengyuan."

"That won't work!"

Su Yang shook his head.

Su Yang didn't mind having other shareholders in the company. He didn't have such a strong desire for control.

But he had to get the controlling rights and control of the company.

He liked to give employees a raise, which would naturally harm the interests of other shareholders.

Even if he was a major shareholder, it would easily cause dissatisfaction among other shareholders.

Just like Jiuxiang Catering.

If he followed the management methods of most restaurant chains on the market, he could lay off a quarter or even a third of his hot pot restaurant employees.

The salary of each hot pot restaurant employee could be reduced by one thousand or two thousand...

As long as he was ruthless enough, saving 20 million in labor costs a year would not be a problem!

How much can the company's shareholders get if the company increases its net profit by 20 million?

No one would complain about having too much money!

Therefore, even if there are shareholders who want to join, they must agree with Su Yang's "management philosophy"!

He doesn't want to have an unpleasant quarrel with shareholders!

He doesn't want to "explain" to all shareholders at every turn.

Su Yang thought for a while and asked, "What do you think of Liao Mingjun?"

"He is quite trustworthy, treats employees well, and has strict control over the quality of ingredients!" Ji Guoxiong thought for a while and commented, "He is still a little young now, but he should be able to make a difference in the future."

"Then I'll meet him!"

Su Yang felt that as long as the price was high enough, there was nothing in the world that was not for sale.

In terms of negotiation, he was definitely better than Ji Guoxiong.

And he also wanted to cut the Gordian knot, and this matter must be settled as soon as possible!

Since Fengyuan is willing to be controlled, it means that it is relatively weak.

Liao Mingjun's clinging to power gave Su Yang a feeling more like... a strong appearance but a weak heart.

"Okay!"

Hearing that Su Yang wanted to meet him, Liao Mingjun got excited when he received the notice.

He saw the crazy development of Jiuxiang Catering in recent months.

He thought this was a great opportunity for Fengyuan to rise!

Fengyuan had missed many opportunities, and he didn't want to miss this one.

So at 1:45 pm that day, he arrived at the headquarters of Jiuxiang Catering.

At 2 o'clock, he came to Su Yang's office under the leadership of his secretary Jiang Yuzhen.

When he first met Su Yang, Liao Mingjun was a little surprised.

Although he heard that the boss of Jiuxiang Catering was very young, he didn't expect him to be so young!

It seemed that he was even younger than him.

But he didn't hesitate for long, and took the initiative to reach out to Su Yang:

"Mr. Su, I really heard of your name for a long time!"

He really heard of Su Yang for a long time.

He really admired Su Yang for being able to develop more than 20 stores of Jiuxiang Catering in Rongcheng in a short period of time.

The business is still very prosperous!

As for Su Yang's ability and vision, he will never be able to match it in his life.

He has been in the catering business and almost lost all his father's family assets!

In fact, he didn't know that Su Yang also thought he was very young. Liao Mingjun was actually only 25 years old!

"Mr. Liao, please sit down!"

Su Yang smiled and shook hands with Liao Mingjun, which made Liao Mingjun feel like he was in the spring breeze!

The two sat on the sofa and chatted casually, and Liao Mingjun slowly relaxed.

They were all young people, all engaged in catering, so they had many common topics.

Liao Mingjun also took the initiative to ask Su Yang some questions, and Su Yang was able to answer them one by one.

Speaking of practical operation, Su Yang may not be proficient enough.

But when it comes to theory, this is his strong point!

Su Yang's first impression on Liao Mingjun was that he was young and handsome.

He felt very kind, and always felt that Su Yang was like an old friend of his.

In addition, he admired Su Yang very much, and the more they talked, the more harmonious the atmosphere became.

When it comes to the development of the company, Liao Mingjun couldn't help but complain to Su Yang.

Liao Mingjun's father, Liao Xiong, was born in an ordinary family, and later followed his relatives to do some wholesale vegetable business.

He spent almost all his childhood in the vegetable wholesale market in the northern part of Rongcheng.

Later, when Liao Xiong's business grew, he set up a company with two friends to directly supply ingredients to some hot pot restaurants in Rongcheng.

In the past few years, Liao Xiong felt that the profit from directly supplying ingredients was too low, so he wanted to process ingredients.

Directly process ingredients into semi-finished products and then provide them to hot pot restaurants or restaurants.

If possible, the company can also do research and development and directly provide finished food ingredients for restaurants.

However, at this critical moment, Liao Xiong fell ill due to fatigue in his early years.

It took almost a year for him to pass away, and Liao Mingjun took over his father's company.

He also agreed with his father's philosophy. He also believed that if Fengyuan wanted to move forward, it could not just be a simple food supplier!

If they did not change, they would be eliminated by other more powerful supply chain giants sooner or later!

But without Liao Xiong at this time, the other two partners of the company were unwilling to invest in building a factory.

They did not trust Liao Mingjun very much either, because Liao Mingjun lost a lot of money in the restaurant business.

They felt that following Liao Mingjun was too risky!

However, Liao Mingjun still won the support of most employees of the company. He withstood the pressure of the two partners, invested in building a food processing plant, and then looked for sales channels everywhere.

He is under great pressure now, and a group of people under him rely on him for food.

But the business cannot be expanded.

First, the market happened to be a little sluggish.

Second, the market competition is very fierce!

Most large chain restaurants have their own supply chain system.

Or simply a supply chain company controlled by itself.

It is difficult for them to intervene.

Those small-scale restaurant chains are more willing to cooperate with well-known local suppliers.

They can only lower their profits as much as possible and compete with low prices, and the profits are quite meager.
