In the car.
Li Dong was reflecting on himself.
Yes, he was responsible for what had happened, a very big responsibility.
Since last year, he had been pursuing the maximum revenue. As for the profit, it was okay for him to lower it appropriately.
Maybe at the beginning, these people did not think about making money or anything else.
They only wanted to improve their performance and maybe even go further.
But later, when they realized that no one seemed to notice or care about this fraud, some people became bolder.
The performance increased, but the profit continued to decline, which meant that more goods were being processed.
Was it really just for the sake of performance?
No one was stupid. Who wouldn't be tempted to watch others make money?
Besides, those who wanted to take over the Far away business would feel embarrassed if they did not do something about it.
After thinking it through, Li Dong sighed and called Zhou Haidong. The moment the call went through, he said, "Go check the number and data of the unsalable goods processed in Gan Province. Then look at the other places and we should have some clues. "
Zhou Haidong was shocked. General Manager Li had found the direction so quickly!
And he and his team had not figured it out yet. They could only check the suppliers.
Not daring to ask more, Zhou Haidong hurriedly answered.
…
August 11th, the third day after Li Dong came to Gan Province.
In the branch meeting room.
Li Dong arrived early and so did the others. But since Li Dong did not say anything, no one dared to say anything.
After a long time, Li Dong said slowly, "Is everyone here?"
"The managers and management are all here," Wang Yuzhang hurriedly answered.
He was a little nervous that Li Dong had not said anything.
Fortunately, Li Dong finally said something.
"Chen Ke."
Chen Ke hurriedly got up and said, "General Manager Li, I'm here."
"Sit down!"
Li Dong pressed his hand and smiled. "Don't be so reserved. I don't eat you. You are my secretary, don't you know me?"
The others looked at each other. What did the chairman mean by saying that?
Was he trying to say that Chen Ke was his most trusted person or did he have other motives?
But Li Dong was too far away from them, so they did not know what he was trying to say.
Although they were puzzled, they valued Chen Ke even more.
In fact, Chen Ke didn't quite understand, but she could roughly guess something because she knew more than the others present.
After she sat down, Li Dong continued, "From now on, you will be the acting general manager of Gan Province."
"What?"
"Acting general manager?"
"Where is Wang?"
"…"
The people below cried out in alarm. Clearly, they did not expect such a situation to occur.
Even Wang Yuzhang was baffled at this moment.
Yesterday, Li Dong praised him. Why did he suddenly let Chen Ke be the acting general manager?
Acting general manager, Wang.
Just as Wang Yuzhang was feeling nervous, Li Dong smiled and said, "Yuzhang, you've done well this past year. Come with me to the headquarters later. We'll talk about the specific appointment later. In a few days, there might be some major personnel changes in the supermarket. "
The others felt the same. They looked at Wang Yuzhang with envy and flattery.
The others did the same. When they looked at Wang Yuzhang, they couldn't help but feel envious and fawning.
The general manager was going to be promoted.
Although being the general manager of Gan Province gave him a lot of power, his position was not high in the system Far Away.
Above the general manager of the provincial branch was the regional manager.
Above the regional manager was the supermarket board of directors.
Above the board of directors was the headquarters.
In short, even if he was a department manager of Faraway Supermarket, he would not lose out to the general manager of the provincial branch.
Li Dong had transferred Wang Yuzhang away in a big way. Obviously, a department manager would not be satisfied.
Everyone guessed that the regional manager or the deputy manager of the supermarket?
Both positions were possible. Some time ago, General Manager Li was not very satisfied with Zhang Mingduo, the general manager of Hua Dong.
Now that Wang Yuzhang had gone one step further, even if he was not the regional manager, he could be the deputy manager of Hua Dong.
Everyone discussed in low voices. Chen Ke, who was sitting next to Wang Yuzhang, said with a smile, "Congratulations, General Manager Wang."
Wang Yuzhang smiled but said humbly, "General Manager Li has not decided yet. I should be the one congratulating you. You will be the general manager of Gan Province in the future. Amazing."
Although Wang Yuzhang was laughing, he was a little worried in his heart. This was too fast.
He had not handed over the position yet. He had to settle some things first.
Thinking of this, Wang Yuzhang said to Li Dong, "Chairman, when are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow."
"Then … should I hand over the position to General Manager Chen? After all …"
"No need."
Li Dong shook his head and looked at Chen Ke. "Polish her. I want to see if you can still control the situation without General Manager Wang's help. General Manager Wang's report was full of praises for you. I didn't believe it. Whether it was gold or not, he would know after refining it with fire. Chen Ke, don't disappoint me. "
Chen Ke said seriously, "Don't worry, General Manager Li. I will do my best."
Li Dong nodded and looked at the others with a smile. "You must help Chen Ke in the future. She is still young and doesn't know much.
I know that some people don't dare to speak the truth because she is my secretary.
But she was promoted by you, so you must be responsible for your words and actions.
This year, Gan Province's performance, profits, and the stability of the situation will all depend on you.
If there are any problems, Chen Ke will take the primary responsibility and you will also have to take the secondary responsibility.
You've praised her so much in the previous reports that I'm embarrassed. I'd like to see if Gan Province is faking it or if it's true. "
The other people's faces were a little red. This matter was really messed up!
Was Chen Ke capable?
She was. She had been with Li Dong for a few years and had great foresight. She knew the general direction of the company.
On this basis, she had a good strategic vision.
But when it came to the implementation, it was hard to say.
In the past, she was Li Dong's secretary. Of course, everyone had to flatter her to give Li Dong face.
But now that Wang Yuzhang was gone, Chen Ke was in charge of taking over.
If she was too ambitious and her performance fell, or some other problems arose, she would be finished.
Chen Ke was Li Dong's secretary after all.
They would be finished!
The managers of the various departments did not know whether to laugh or cry. Were they shooting themselves in the foot?
Although they thought so, they did not dare to say it out loud. Someone immediately said, "Don't worry, Chairman. We believe that General Manager Chen can lead us to do better …"
Before he could finish, someone coughed and interrupted him.
The person who spoke also realized that it was inappropriate. Wang Yuzhang had not left yet. If he said that he could do better, wouldn't he be implying that Wang Yuzhang was not doing well?
If Wang Yuzhang became the CEO of Huadong District or was promoted, he would make things difficult for him in the future.
For a moment, the others did not dare to say anything.
Li Dong did not care that they did not say anything. He continued, "This year, the performance of Gan Province should reach five billion yuan, and the net profit should be above 8%. This is the goal you should strive for this year. If you complete it, Chen Ke can be the agent. If you can't complete it, what I said before still counts. "
What did Li Dong say before?
He said that if Chen Ke did not make any progress in the next six months, she would go back to be the administrative manager of the branch company.
Others might not know about it, but Chen Ke did.
Chen Ke's heart skipped a beat when she heard Li Dong's words. It was a joke before, but it was not a joke now.
If she did not do well, she would only have half a year to live as the CEO of the branch company.
After a few simple words, Li Dong did not say anything more. He waved to the others and said, "You guys go ahead with your work. Yu Zhang, go and do the handover. One day is enough. Tomorrow, let's go to Jiangzhe to take a look. Let's see how others do it.
Wang Yuzhang nodded hurriedly.
Chen Ke was about to leave when Li Dong said, "Chen Ke, stay."
Chen Ke sat down and waited for Li Dong's instructions.
After the others left, Li Dong leaned back in his chair and said tiredly, "Do you know why I asked you to be the agent of Gan Province's General Manager?"
Chen Ke immediately said, "I know. General Manager Li, you want me to control the situation in Gan Province, so that it will not be in chaos when something happens."
"You're not that stupid."
Chen Ke smiled awkwardly. Am I really that stupid?
In fact, when Li Dong said that Wang Yuzhang would be transferred away, she had already understood.
He must have found the evidence, but it was not the right time to deal with Wang Yuzhang now, in case there would be chaos in Gan Province.
It was the same in the business world.
He would be transferred away first to weaken his influence, and then he would be dealt with. That way, the company could be stabilized.
Otherwise, Li Dong might be able to intimidate others by taking Wang Yuzhang away on the spot, but if the top leader of Gan Province was taken away, there might be problems.
After some time, Chen Ke would be able to control the situation, and there wouldn't be much trouble.
This was also the reason why Li Dong kept mentioning that Chen Ke was his secretary. He wanted everyone to pay more attention to her and understand that she represented Li Dong and Far away.
If it were someone else, they might not be able to control the situation because Wang Yuzhang had done a good job.
His performance had increased by a lot, and he treated people well.
Unless someone like Sun Tao, Chen Lang, or Wang Yue came to take charge, even Zhang Mingduo might not be able to control the situation.
Chen Ke understood what he meant, and Li Dong did not say much. "There should be someone else involved other than Wang Yuzhang. This time, I want to get rid of all these parasites! It'll be easier for you to deal with things now that you're the General Manager. Don't be in a hurry to get rid of these people and weaken Wang Yuzhang's influence. We'll take action when his influence in Gan Province is no longer enough. "
Chen Ke said seriously, "Got it."
"Okay, that's it. You can ask Old Zhou for the details. I won't say much."
"Okay, General Manager Li. Rest well. I won't let you down."
Li Dong waved his hand. Everyone told him that they wouldn't let him down.
But in the end, many people let him down.
In the past few years, the old people had left in batches. Incompetence was only a part of it. Many people couldn't control their own hands.
As the company grew, they handled more money and held more power. Li Dong was not surprised that some people were wavering.
But Li Dong felt that it wasn't appropriate for the senior management to reach out.
He had always treated the senior management well, better than other companies of the same level.
Wang Yuzhang had a bright future ahead of him. If he could complete the task and do well, he would still have room for improvement.
But for these small profits, he was wavering.
Did he have 5 million yuan?
According to Li Dong's analysis and Zhou Haidong's report, he shouldn't have.
After all, he was short of 10 million yuan. It wasn't his own money. He still had to share it with the partners and some people in the company.
Two or three million yuan would be the most he could get.
The annual salary and bonus of the president of a provincial branch company was at least a million yuan. Some people couldn't get it because of poor performance.
Money that could be earned in two or three years. If he had to take it now, Li Dong would be disappointed.
Sighing, Li Dong didn't think too much about it. He would use Wang Yuzhang as a sacrifice.
When he returned to the headquarters, he would hold a senior management meeting and execute Wang Yuzhang. This should be enough to shock a lot of people.
…
Back at the hotel.
Tan Yong had arrived. Wang Cheng and the rest were with him.
Li Dong invited them in and asked about Old Li.
Tan Yong heard Li Dong's question and smiled. "General Manager Li, you don't know how interesting the old man is. When he went back, he was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He looked like a different person. He even bought a new car and hired a chauffeur … "
"Hired a chauffeur?" Li Dong couldn't help laughing.
Tan Yong nodded. "He also told us not to spill the beans. He had been working abroad for the past 20 years. He couldn't come back in the past, but now he's back to find his roots. He sold his overseas business, and now he's back in wealth … "
Li Dong smiled. "Uncle Li's acting is good. I think he can do it. How did his children react?"
"What else? A rich father suddenly came back. His children aren't rich either. They're all adults. Besides, they're blood relatives. Even if they were unhappy before, they should be gone now. Unfortunately, the old man's wife passed away a few years ago. "
Li Dong sighed. "That's why it's most important to cherish what's in front of you. If the old man really went back, his wife wouldn't have despised him even though his leg was broken. Of course, now that he can reunite with his family in his old age and enjoy the affection of his children, it's considered a success. "
Li Dong said a few words and didn't ask further. Old Li was quite smart. Now that he had money, he wouldn't be miserable in his old age.
In the past, it didn't matter. Now, he might even marry a new wife in the near future.
After cursing in his heart for a while, Li Dong returned to the topic at hand. "I called you here this time because I have a few things to discuss with you."
"Discuss?"
The few of them looked puzzled. Li Dong's words weren't light.
They were just bodyguards and chauffeurs. Did the boss need to discuss with them?
Although they thought so, they didn't ask.
Tan Yong had been with Li Dong the longest. Wang Cheng and the rest had been with Li Dong for a long time.
The few of them trusted Li Dong and weren't afraid that Li Dong would cheat them.
Tan Yong had helped Li Dong do some dirty work back then. Look at him now. He was doing so well.
Wang Cheng and the rest wished they could be like him. Unfortunately, they didn't have the chance in the past.
