Li Dong stayed in Sunan for a few days.
He inspected more than 20 stores and interviewed dozens of management.
Sunan invested 10 billion. According to the investment ratio, the annual revenue should reach at least 13 billion. With the current profit level, the funds could flow back within 10 years.
In fact, according to the current market, the revenue should be higher.
It might not be 20 billion, but it should still be 15 billion.
In the second half of 2007, Suguo was hit hard by Far away and then integrated by China Resources. Under such circumstances, Suguo's revenue in 2007 was still 20 billion.
Sunan's business did not occupy all of Suguo's, but it still occupied half.
In a full year, Suguo's annual performance in Sunan was at least 10 billion.
Far away had integrated many resources and its own investment. It was definitely stronger than the previous Suguo and almost monopolized the entire Sunan department store retail.
However, under such circumstances, the performance did not increase.
In the first half of the year, Sunan's revenue was only 6.4 billion. This was also the reason why Li Dong chose Sunan to inspect first.
On the 28th, Li Dong convened a meeting with several executives.
At the beginning of the meeting, Li Dong said, "This year, Sunan's quota is 15 billion, and the net profit is no less than 1 billion!
This is the goal I set for you. I only look at the general direction and don't care about the specific implementation.
Far away has been established for a short time and lacks people. Don't think that you can do whatever you want.
To tell you the truth, Far away is not short of people now!
The capable go up and the mediocre go down. This is an inevitable law.
The investment in Beijing and Tianjin was only 3 billion. Even with Carrefour's investment in Beijing and Tianjin, it was only around 5 billion.
Qi Yunna in Beijing and Tianjin, how much did she achieve in the first half of the year?
Far away alone had 2 billion revenue in Beijing and Tianjin, and Carrefour was also close to 2 billion. At this growth rate, Beijing and Tianjin's revenue might reach 10 billion.
And Beijing and Tianjin's investment was only half of Sunan's!
There was also a large number of competitors!
Wumart, Wal-Mart, and Gaoxin were all in Beijing and Tianjin, and China Resources Resources was also targeting the North China market.
If they can reach 10 billion in revenue, don't tell me that it's because of the Olympic Games. It must be because of the Olympic Games, but it's not as big as you think.
I've set a target of 15 billion for all of you. It's not a big target, but if you really work hard, you'll definitely be able to reach it.
If you can't even complete this, by the end of the year, the Hua Dong CEO and Sunan CEO will resign on their own. I'm the one who said this. If anyone has any objections, feel free to look for me! "
In the conference room, Zhang Mingduo, Zhao Honggang, and the others looked pale.
He had long known that Li Dong would fly into a rage, and the result was as he had expected.
Far away, this kind of thing rarely happened.
Far away had been developing rapidly over the past few years, and their performance was actually better than expected. The headquarters had set a target of five billion, and in the end, everyone was likely to achieve ten billion.
Under such circumstances, setting a fixed quota would dispel everyone's enthusiasm.
Unexpectedly, the entire Sunan province enjoyed this kind of treatment.
Even if there had been such a thing in the past, it was only for specific regions, cities, or entire provinces. It had never happened before.
They had only achieved the target of six billion in the first half of the year. Although the second half of the year was the peak season, could they really achieve nine billion?
The executives of Sunan and Hua Dong were not confident at all.
Li Dong ignored them. After setting the target, he continued. "Also, the audit team has some preliminary results. One shop at Confucius Temple in Jinling, two shops at Zhongshan Road in Wuxi, one shop at Zhongnan Road in Tongzhou … …
There are a total of seven shops, and the accounts cannot be verified.
To Sunan, there are hundreds of shops. Seven might not seem like a lot, but they are all in the bustling business district. You all know how big the impact is!
I don't know if any of you are involved in this, but I don't care. Whether it's right or wrong, the truth will be found out.
The difference in the accounts this time is not a small amount. Eight million!
I think this amount is enough for some people to go to jail and repent.
There will be people to follow up on how to deal with this matter and how to pursue legal responsibility. You all are on your own!
You all dare to do this under the nose of Jiangbei. What else do you all not dare to do?!
The Ministry of Supervision had investigated again and again, and the local inspection team had also made repeated inspections. Yet, some people still did not give up. Seems like I am too kind.
If one province is like this, what about the whole country?
Just the amount that was found is eight million. What about the rest?
Tens of millions is not a lot to me. But what should be yours is yours. Don't touch what should not be yours!
So far away, I have given out hundreds of millions of bonuses. Among you, many of you even get dividends, and your annual salary is in the millions. Weigh the gains and losses yourself. "
Zhang Mingduo waited for Li Dong to finish and lowered his head. "General Manager Li, this is my responsibility … …"
"That's right!"
Li Dong said mercilessly. "You are indeed responsible. That's why I am giving you all a chance. Complete my target at the end of the year. As long as there are no other major mistakes, I will let bygones be bygones. If you can't complete it, don't think that I am joking. Resign. This is the only outcome! "
Zhang Mingduo's face was slightly red. After a while, he nodded. "General Manager Li, I understand."
"Ok. Let's not talk about this first, Zhao Honggang."
The President of the Sunan branch, Zhao Honggang, quickly stood up. When he stood up, he nearly tripped over his chair.
At this time, no one laughed at him. Everyone was a little uneasy.
It was not as easy as outsiders thought it was to achieve what he had achieved in Faraway.
Everyone here was young, and they had an annual salary of hundreds of thousands to millions. Far away was short of manpower in the past few years. That's why they had this opportunity.
Now that they had left Far away and went to another company, would they still have their current status?
Needless to say, everyone knew that the possibility was not high.
If they were really forced to resign, not only would they lose face, their reputation in the industry would also be tarnished.
Zhao Honggang stood up and quickly said. "General Manager Li, Sunan guarantees to complete the task you gave us!"
Li Dong smiled. "That's for the best. As the head of the Sunan region, Mr Zhang has a responsibility, but you have a bigger responsibility. If you complete the task, your year-end bonus will be cancelled, and your other responsibilities will be waived. If you can't complete the task, not only will you lose your year-end bonus, you will also have to submit your resignation letter! "
"General Manager Li … I … I understand."
Zhao Honggang replied. His face was extremely pale.
The year-end bonus was the biggest source of benefits for Far away's executives.
It was easy to get hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.
But year-end bonus was not necessary. Unless there was a clear stipulation in the contract, you can give it or not.
Therefore, even if Li Dong said to cancel it, Zhao Honggang had nothing to say. Even if he was not satisfied, what could he do?
Sue Li Dong?
Stop joking. Far away's legal team was not to be trifled with. After a few years of litigation, the possibility of losing was very high.
His current task was to ensure that he could complete the task and at least retain his position.
With his position, he could earn back the money in the future. Even if there was no year-end bonus, his salary was not low. It might even be higher than if he changed jobs.
Li Dong said a few more words and finally waved his hand. "Meeting adjourned. The audit team will leave some people here to continue the investigation. I will leave tomorrow. Finally, I hope that everyone will encourage themselves. Don't regret it for the rest of your life because of a wrong decision!"
Everyone quickly responded. Everyone's face was heavy.
15 billion was not a small target.
If they could not complete it, they would only hold the CEOs accountable. But everyone knew that this matter would not be so simple.
In order to complete the target, Zhang Mingduo, Zhao Honggang, and the others would definitely put in a lot of effort.
They might even have to leave in advance.
…
After everyone left, Li Dong could not help but rub his temples.
As the company grew, there were all kinds of messy things.
The Ministry of Supervision, the inspection team, all these organizations existed and were also patrolling. But some things could not be stopped.
Just like the corrupt officials, they were cut again and again, and there was no way to completely eradicate them.
In fact, there was not much difference between a big company and a small country.
Deception was not only a matter of the government.
However, the business world would not be too drastic. If the matter was found out and it was not too serious, a refund or resignation was the punishment.
If it was really handed over to the judiciary, it would be more serious.
As he was rubbing his temples, Bai Su entered and said, "General Manager Li, CEO Qi just called."
Speaking of Qi Yunna, Li Dong smiled. "What did CEO Qi say?"
Qi Yunna did not disappoint him. After being promoted to the CEO of the North China region, her business was doing well.
Compared to East China, the headquarters Far away was personally overseen by Li Dong. In addition to the group's CEO, the supermarket's chairman, and a series of executives personally supervised. North China was completely under Qi Yunna's control.
But now, there were endless problems in East China. On the contrary, there were not many problems in North China.
Maybe it had something to do with the fierce competition. Only when there were more competitors could everyone work together.
Unlike the Sunan side, there were almost no competitors. Many people were slacking off.
Without external troubles, there was naturally internal strife.
The factions in the Sunan side were also more complicated. Changke Lung, Times, Yongle, Suguo, and Far away's own faction. With so many factions, it would be strange not to fight.
In Jingjin, there were no mergers and acquisitions. It was completely developed step by step.
The internal strife was not serious. There were strong enemies outside, so they were more united than other places. Naturally, the business was better.
Bai Su smiled. "CEO Qi said that she hopes that after you inspect Lu Province, you can go directly to Jingjin. After all, Jingjin is very close to Lu Province. It will be a waste of time if you go to Jiangzhe and Jiangxi provinces. Also, CEO Qi said that she hopes to invite you to the Olympics. She has already bought the tickets. "
Li Dong laughed. "Qi Yunna is quite confident."
If she was not confident that she could not find any problems, she would not dare to invite Li Dong to the Olympics.
Looking at the current Sunan, would Zhao Honggang and the others dare to invite Li Dong out to have fun?
Now everyone wanted to stay far away from him. Who would dare to show up at this time?
Hearing this, Li Dong knocked on the table. After a while, he said, "Well, after visiting Lu Province, we will go to Jingjin. As for whether to watch the Olympics or not, we will talk about it when the time comes. "
"Okay, then I will call CEO Qi back."
Bai Su smiled. She was in a good mood.
Far away, there were many female generals, but many of them were difficult to get close to. For example, people like Shen Qian and Wang Yue usually only nodded to greet them when they met.
However, Qi Yunna was different. She had climbed up step by step from the bottom and had a relatively low attitude.
When she met Bai Su and the others, she spoke very softly. From time to time, she would bring them some gifts and specialties. Li Dong would not say anything if he knew.
Just based on these, Li Dong's three secretaries had a good relationship with Qi Yunna.
…
Just as Li Dong finished inspecting the Sunan and turned to Lu Province.
Jiang City, E Province.
It took Liu Qing nearly a week to find his way from Shancheng to Jiang City.
It would take less than a day to travel 800 kilometers by plane or train.
However, it took him a full week to get here. Thinking of this, Liu Qing became even more resentful.
Now, he was like a rat on the street. He did not even dare to show his face.
Fortunately, Jiang City was thousands of miles away from Sichuan and Sichuan. The tracking of him here gradually eased.
In fact, if it was an ordinary prison break, the tracking would not be so strict.
The point was that he killed the prison guard and took his gun.
Those who wanted him dead were probably worried that he would take revenge on them. That was why they were tracking him so strictly.
Pressing the cap on his head, Liu Qing wandered on the street.
It was not August yet. It was a hot time. There were many people wearing sunhats on the street, but no one noticed him.
Liu Qing pressed the pistol on his waist and pretended to be calm. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he looked up at the shopping mall not far away.
Jiang City Square was the largest shopping mall in Jiang City.
Since Faraway Group entered E Province, they opened a large shopping mall here to compete with Wushang Group for the market.
If Li Dong came to E Province, he would most likely come here.
Thinking about it from another perspective, would he not come to the most competitive shopping mall to inspect his business?
Would he not look at the largest shopping mall in the area?
Of course not!
Therefore, as long as Li Dong came, Jiang City Square was a place he must go.
There were many people in Jiang City Square. Not to mention Li Dong, even if the provincial party committee came, they would not be able to clear the place.
As long as he waited here, he would most likely see Li Dong.
Liu Qing looked around, looking for the best hiding spot nearby.
He decided that from today on, he would wait nearby. He didn't need to stay in a hotel. He would find a recliner to sleep at night to prevent himself from being exposed.
He didn't care about his life anyway, so why would he care about these things?
Pressing the cap again, Liu Qing's face showed a hint of ferocity. Li Dong, I'm waiting for you!
In the largest city of Jiang City, the most prosperous place, the richest man was killed on the street. Tsk tsk, it was exciting to think about it.
With such a chance in life, it was not a loss to die!
…
Lu Province, Quan City.
Li Dong frowned slightly and whispered, "You mean, Liu Qing ran away?"
Tan Yong nodded and replied, "I just received news from Shu Province, so I suggest canceling the trip to Shu Province and Shan City. Safety first."
"We must go to Shan City!"
Li Dong frowned and said, "There are too many things to do in Shan City. Canceling the trip will have a huge impact."
"But …"
Tan Yong wanted to say a few words, but he was stopped by Li Dong.
Tan Yong sighed in his heart and had to strengthen the defense. At this time, they didn't expect that Liu Qing had already broken through the encirclement and ran to Jiang City thousands of miles away to wait for them.
