When Li Dong and the others moved, Lan Xingguo also saw them.
From a distance, without waiting for Li Dong to speak, Lan Xingguo laughed heartily and said, "Chairman, I, Lan Xingguo, am here to report!"
To be honest, those who could reach a certain position were not fools.
Li Dong and Lan Xingguo were classmates in the CEO's class, and they had a good relationship in private.
This time, when Li Dong invited Lan Xingguo to join Far Away, Lan Xingguo was just putting on airs in front of him, calling him "Dongzi" and "Li Dong" every time. In fact, it was not a big problem.
Li Dong's heart could be said to be small, but it could also be said to be big.
Regardless of age, experience, or knowledge, Lan Xingguo far surpassed Li Dong.
Plus, it was Li Dong who invited him, so Li Dong didn't think much of it.
But Lan Xingguo was also a smart person.
In the past, he was the boss of Sichuan Airlines. Although Li Dong was a shareholder of Sichuan Airlines, he was not his direct superior, so it didn't matter what he called him.
But now, since he came to Far Away, he had to be prepared to change his mindset.
Lan Xingguo had read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" before. How did Xu You die?
This old man was arrogant and always called Cao Cao by his nickname. In the end, he was killed by a knife.
Of course, it was just a novel. People like Cao Cao might not necessarily kill people because he lost face.
But Lan Xingguo understood one thing. It was a small gain, but a big loss.
Now that he called Li Dong by his name, it sounded arrogant, and people would look up to him and think he was awesome.
But was there any real benefit to him?
Right now, Li Dong didn't mind, but that was because he needed him. After a few years, when he got used to it, would Li Dong really not care?
According to his rank in Far Away, now that he was here, he would at most be the Vice President of Logistics and the CEO of Airlines.
In terms of rank, he was at least two ranks lower than Li Dong.
It was not worth it to leave behind future trouble for such a small matter.
Lan Xingguo's slightly teasing words expressed his respect for Li Dong and also raised his own status.
After all, not everyone could talk to Li Dong like that.
It was just a simple sentence, but it had a lot of meaning. Sometimes, the level of a manager was not only determined by their work, but also by their words.
The reason why Lan Xingguo was able to switch from military to business and gain the trust of the Chuan Shu government was because of the art of language.
"Brother Lan, I don't dare to accept a lowly soldier like you. You're a marshal that I begged my grandparents to hire." Li Dong joked.
In the end, Lan Xingguo also laughed and said, "I wouldn't dare. I'm just suited to be a vanguard. CEO Yuan is your marshal. Everyone says that there is no great general in Sichuan, Liao Hua can be the vanguard. This saying fits me perfectly. "
Everyone burst into laughter. Yuan Chengdao couldn't help but laugh and say, "CEO Lan, you're not talking about Sichuan, you're talking about Far Away. Looks like there aren't many people in Far Away who can enter your eyes?"
Lan Xingguo immediately begged for mercy. "Don't. Why are you all bullying this old man? This old man came to Pingchuan to recuperate for a few years. Aren't you making me offend people? CEO Yuan is not a good person. To think that I treated you to a few bottles of good wine in Sichuan. What a loss! "
"Hahaha …"
Everyone burst into laughter again.
Next, Li Dong introduced Lan Xingguo to a few key people in charge of the logistics side.
Qin Hai was still in Sichuan. Lan Xingguo knew him, so he didn't need to say much.
After getting to know each other, Li Dong smiled and said, "Brother Lan, Sister-in-law and Nephew Gu didn't come?"
Lan Xingguo smiled bitterly and said, "It's not appropriate for me to bring my family here. Why don't I wait for them to settle down first and come back next year? Besides, that kid of mine can't bear to leave his job in Beijing. I don't think it's because he can't bear to leave his job, but because he can't bear to leave his girlfriend. What a good-for-nothing! "
Everyone burst into laughter again. Yuan Chengdao looked at Li Dong and coughed lightly. "General Manager Li, CEO Lan's son is an incredible talent. If I hadn't asked around, I wouldn't have known that CEO Lan was hiding him. His son is now a researcher at Beijing Aviation Technology Research Institute. Far away, we lack such high-end talents, right? "
Li Dong wanted to say something but Lan Xingguo quickly interrupted him. "Assistant researcher, assistant. CEO Yuan, don't flatter me. He's still far from being a researcher."
Li Dong laughed and said, "It's all the same. It's just a matter of time. Like father, like son. This saying is true! I'm a dragon, and my nephew isn't an ordinary person either! Brother, this is where you're wrong. Nephew Gu is looking down on us Far away! I'll give him a call later. He'll come to Far away Airlines and keep the chief engineer position for him. Far away Airlines will do something big if we're going to do something big! "
"Don't. You're poking my backbone. If you really say that, I'll turn around and leave."
Lan Xingguo hurriedly said. Then he laughed and said, "I won't stop you if you say that again in ten years. You're still too young now. Also, I say, can you stop saying nephew? My son is older than you. When he finds out that I've acknowledged him as an uncle, he'll dig a hole in the ground. "
"Dig what hole? We're of the same generation. Nephew Gu is right. Let's go. It's not your style to talk about such a small matter."
"Fine. Whatever you say. I won't talk anymore."
"…"
Everyone laughed and chatted for a while. The atmosphere was good.
Lan Xingguo had been a leader for many years. He was good at dealing with people. After he finished talking with Li Dong, he didn't neglect the others and chatted with them one by one.
…
Li Dong didn't rush back to the company. He arranged a banquet for Lan Xingguo at noon to welcome him back.
In the afternoon, Li Dong wanted to show Lan Xingguo around personally. However, Lan Xingguo refused. He chatted well with the vice presidents of the logistics department and decided to go with them to the airline preparation team to see the situation.
Li Dong didn't insist and went back to the headquarters with Yuan Chengdao and the others.
When they arrived at the office, Yuan Chengdao took a deep breath and said, "It's harder than I thought to invite CEO Lan. The Sichuan government won't let him go no matter what. The director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission almost spat on my face. In the end, even Secretary Liu was alarmed. He scolded General Manager Li a lot when he knew that CEO Lan was going to leave Sichuan Airlines Far away. Only Sichuan Airlines is on the right track. Otherwise, CEO Lan won't be able to leave. "
Li Dong laughed and said, "Secretary Liu is still involved in this matter? Isn't this the provincial government's matter? If he is involved, he won't be afraid of being criticized. But it's good that it's successful. With CEO Lan here, the framework of our airline company is almost set up. I have already told you about the location. Let CEO Lan get used to it first. After the National Day, he will officially take up his post and settle the necessary things first. The sooner the better. Let the General Administration of Civil Aviation approve it as soon as possible. "
Yuan Chengdao thought for a while and said, "General Manager Li, the speed of building our own airport might not be fast. The fastest will be next year. I think if we really want to be fast, we can use SF Express's method. They didn't build their own airport but chose to rent other airports … "
Li Dong raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Their airport is rented?"
Yuan Chengdao was speechless. You don't even know about this, and you still want to build the first express airline in the country.
SF Express does not have a lot of capital now. It is not as rich as Far away.
Not only their airport, but their warehouse center, express delivery point, and freight center are 99% rented.
Even the planes used to build the airline are also rented. They do not have much money to squander.
If they rely on self-construction and purchase like Far away, SF Express would not be able to make ends meet and starve to death on the streets.
Li Dong's logistics strategy has not been completed yet, but he has already invested nearly 20 billion. Even if SF Express were to be sold, the total assets would be less than one-third of Far away Logistics.
If they do not rent, can they afford such a large investment?
Yuan Chengdao explained. Li Dong pondered for a while and said, "So, we can also get approval from the General Administration of Civil Aviation?"
"Of course, it is a little difficult. But SF Express has paved the way for us in advance. Now I heard that the General Administration of Civil Aviation has agreed to this plan.
We chose the right time and got a big bargain. We don't need to promote it ourselves.
"We can build our own airport and facilities while renting an airport base. After some modifications, we can officially raise the flag of Far away Airlines.
"The civilian airports are usually used now, and it is troublesome to negotiate.
"But I know that there are many unused military airports in East China, including Central China.
"Many of these military airports have been abandoned and are no longer used as military facilities.
"But if we take over and make some modifications, we can save a lot of time.
"Buying or renting is more time-saving than building our own airport.
"If it is suitable, we can buy it and remodel it as our own airport.
"In the military, CEO Lan and Secretary Qin can speak to them.
"It should not be difficult for us to help them deal with some of their abandoned airports."
At this moment, Lan Xingguo's strength can be seen.
He was a leader in the Air Force, and many military airports are related to the Air Force. Lan Xingguo can even speak to the land and air transportation system.
"People in the military often value this.
It is more troublesome to deal with them, and they might not give them face.
"But if Lan Xingguo goes to negotiate, it will be much easier than Far away Airlines. He might even be more useful than Qin Hanyuan.
"Although Old Qin is also in the military, it is limited to Jiangbei. The military in other places might not give him face.
"Of course, if Li Dong builds an airport in Jiangbei, it won't be so troublesome.
However, in Jiangbei, it wasn't exactly right to say that it was suitable or not.
Jiangbei's geographical location was still a bit to the east. Hubei Province and Henan Province were actually more suitable.
Especially Hubei, it is connected to Central China, East China, and Southwest China. It is not too far from the Northwest China.
"Geographically, it is in the center of Hua Xia and can connect to the whole country.
"Of course, it is not impossible to choose Jiangbei. It depends on the local policies and benefits. Sometimes, these things are enough to make up for the longer flight.
"Li Dong thought for a while and nodded." Okay, I don't have much of an opinion on this.
"Ask Chief Lan for his opinion. Also, tell Chief Qin that if it is suitable, we can choose a military airport.
"But military airports are usually located in remote areas. You must consider this carefully.
"We are mainly in charge of logistics and transportation. The most important thing is transportation.
"The local traffic must be smooth. If it is not possible, we can rent it for a period of time. We can also relocate after we finish building our own airport.
"From what you said, we might get the approval from the Civil Aviation Administration after the new year.
"Hang up the signboard first. It will be best if we can be ahead of SF Express. We are such a big company. It will be embarrassing if we fall behind others."
Yuan Chengdao laughed dryly. They had been preparing for many years. What's wrong with being ahead of you?
"What's there to be embarrassed about? It's just that Li Dong wants to be first.
"But if he can get it, it will be good for Far away Logistics.
Yuan Chengdao did not say anything. He nodded. "I will arrange it as soon as possible. Also, since Zhao Nanfang is back, I want him to be the chairman of the foundation. What do you think, General Manager Li?"
"Sure!"
Zhao Nanfang was the person-in-charge of Sichuan Foundation. For the past year, Sichuan had the most important tasks. Zhao Nanfang could be considered the most experienced leader in the foundation.
Li Dong did not have any objections to transferring him back to be the chairman.
Yuan Chengdao heaved a sigh of relief and said. "Also, regarding the Far away City project, I think Jiang Cenze, the Deputy CEO of Dong Yu Real Estate, is more suitable …"
Li Dong recalled Jiang Cenze's resume and thought for a while. "Fine. He will be the overall person-in-charge of the project. Also, Director Wang from the Engineering Management Center will be transferred over as his deputy."
Yuan Chengdao did not have any objections to Li Dong inserting people.
The two people he proposed were approved by Li Dong. This was already his biggest success.
If he did not even care about the deputy Li Dong, Yuan Chengdao would be worried instead.
After talking about these two people, Yuan Chengdao said again. "What do you think about CEO Lan?"
"The logistics company will be established as a group company. Qin Hai will be the chairman, Yang Chengwei will be the group's CEO, and Lan Xingguo will be the group's senior vice president. Of course, his main task is still the airline company. If the airline company is on the right track, it may be directly under the management of the group's headquarters. Tell him in advance. "
Yuan Chengdao suddenly understood that this was An Lan Xingguo's intention.
He was the head of Sichuan Airlines. Now that he had jumped ship, he became the third in command of a subsidiary group. No matter how he looked at it, it was a demotion.
However, if it was directly under the management of the group's headquarters, then there would be no problem. He only needed to report to the headquarters in the future.
Now, Faraway Supermarket had established a group company, Far away Logistics had also established a group company, and even Far away Technology had established a group company.
Yuan Chengdao thought for a moment and asked, "General Manager Li, does Dong Yu Real Estate need to establish a group company? Dong Yu now has its own property company, security company … It is not impossible to establish a group company … "
Li Dong smiled. "It is just a concept. In the legal sense, it is a limited liability company. Group is just a nice name. I know what you mean. You are afraid that Wu Shengnan will have other ideas. Alright, a group company it is. Dong Yu Group. Let her be happy. She is the chairman after all. Otherwise, she will feel that I am deliberately suppressing her when everyone else is the chairman. "
Yuan Chengdao was slightly embarrassed and explained in a low voice. "I didn't mean that. Actually …"
"Alright, I was just joking. Go do your work. I will look at the documents and go out later. You don't have to worry about me."
Yuan Chengdao saw this and did not say anything else. He got up and left the office.
In fact, he still wanted to talk about the group's board of directors. The four major subsidiaries had been upgraded. The group still directly controlled the Weibo company. In the future, it might directly control the airline company.
At this time, the group's board of directors would be upgraded.
The change from the board of directors to the board of directors was more in line with the current situation.
However, this matter was not the most urgent. In addition, the person in charge of Weibo had not been confirmed. The airline company had not been established yet. There was no harm in dragging it out.
In the future, when Li Dong went out, people could also call him the chairman of the board of directors.
