Just as Ma Xingsheng was leading Li Dong and the others upstairs for a meeting.
Upstairs, in the CEO's office.
He Ming was on the phone with someone.
He Ming, who was usually arrogant and virtuous, was now flushed and sweating profusely.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed very angry and kept scolding him. If there was someone standing next to He Ming, they would definitely hear the scolding.
"He Ming, do you think that you can do whatever you want in the company?
Or do you think that the entrepreneurs in the business world are idiots?
Who gave you the right to change the originally formulated plan and policy!
Do you know how much we've paid in order for you to successfully take control of the Hundred Alliance?
Are you an idiot?
Or do you think that you are stronger than CEO Ning?
… "
Even the words of an idiot came out. It was obvious that the person on the other end was angry.
As a hundred billion retail group, Bailian had always been the leader in the department store industry. Even if it had weakened in the past two years, not everyone could be a soldier out of nowhere.
And He Ming being able to take over Bailian and even suppress Ma Xingsheng was naturally inseparable from the operation of others.
In fact, He Ming's arrival was a bit strange.
Ma Xingsheng had just come from Shanghai SASAC in the first half of the year. Logically speaking, the chairman was a soldier who came from nowhere, and the CEO was more suitable to be promoted locally.
But the result was surprising. Shanghai SASAC intervened again, and the CEO of Bailian chose to come from the SASAC system.
Two people from SASAC came at once, and they were obviously not on the same side. Shanghai SASAC slapped its own face, and this wasn't something an ordinary person could do.
In order to operate all this and even want to take charge of Bailian through He Ming, the person behind He Ming paid a big price.
Originally, everything was going well. The person behind He Ming took action one after another, paid a big price, and took over Agriculture and Industry and Commerce and Yonghui.
For this, the other party could be said to have paid a lot.
But it was all worth it. Bailian had taken over Agriculture and Industry and Commerce and Yonghui, and had become the largest retailer in Hua Xia, even surpassing Gome, Suning, and Far away.
And the other party had a trump card. At the critical moment, they could even control more than half of Hua Xia's retail system.
Letting He Ming get in touch with Intai and Taobao was also the plan that the person behind He Ming came up with after the collaboration of his entire team and some of the top entrepreneurs in the industry.
But after all, He Ming was the CEO of Bailian, not the other party.
The plan was naturally handed over to He Ming to implement. Who knew that after taking over the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce and Yonghui, He Ming felt that everything was too simple.
It was so simple that he didn't need anyone's advice at all.
Before he came, he was repeatedly reminded that Far Away couldn't be underestimated. Whether he could control more than half of Hua Xia's retail system, Far Away was his biggest opponent and enemy.
At first, He Ming was a little wary.
But after a few times, whether it was taking over the Ministry of Agriculture, Industry and Commerce or Yonghui, it was all smooth sailing. Far away, there was no response at all.
This made He Ming relax, and he no longer had any misgivings.
When He Ming was talking with Shen Guojun yesterday, it wasn't that He Ming didn't want to talk. He just felt that Yin Tai's status wasn't that high, so he wanted to play around a little.
The reason for this feeling was mainly because Yintai couldn't even compare to Yonghui.
People like He Ming, who had moved from the political world to the business world, preferred to look at some data.
Not to mention this year's data, last year, Yonghui was at least in the top 50 in the retail industry, but Yintai didn't. This made He Ming feel that Yintai was just so-so.
He could even take over Yonghui so easily, let alone Yintai.
Putting on airs and playing around for a while was the habit of people like them.
In addition, Shen Guojun and he had a "very pleasant conversation" yesterday, which made He Ming feel that it wasn't a big problem to put on airs. If he really took over Yintai in the future, it would also be convenient for him to manage.
But who knew that after just one day, the person behind him found out.
What made He Ming even more aggrieved and depressed was that the other party didn't even ask. Once the phone was connected, he was reprimanded, reprimanded continuously.
This made He Ming, who had been a little smug recently, feel even more depressed and annoyed.
But he also understood that he was just a lackey in front of the other party. He could only endure being reprimanded.
While the reprimand was still going on over the phone, someone knocked on the office door.
He Ming hesitated for a moment, but still interrupted, "Director Cheng, I have someone here …"
The person on the other side of the phone vented his anger, and probably knew that it was about time. Hearing that, he snorted, "He Ming, you're on your own! In addition, I heard that Li Dong came to the Bailian Association for an inspection today, but you actually avoided it and gave it all to Ma Xingsheng. How stupid! If this goes on … "
The person didn't say anything more, but ended with a cold snort and directly hung up the phone.
He Ming's face looked a little ugly. Seeing that the knocking on the door was still going on, he immediately said angrily, "Come in!"
When the door opened and saw that it was the staff around Ma Xingsheng, He Ming was even more angry and said, "I'm not deaf yet. Do you need to knock several times?"
The staff was stunned for a moment, then his face stiffened, and he said dryly, "Director He, I … I …"
He Ming exhaled, frowned and interrupted, "Okay, pay attention next time. If there's anything, say it quickly."
Seeing that, the staff didn't dare to say more, and quickly said, "General Manager Li, Director Shen, and General Manager Ma came together downstairs. The chairman asked me to tell you …"
"Who?"
He Ming raised his eyebrows and said, "Li Dong and Shen Guojun are all here? Who else came? "
"Ali's General Manager Ma."
"Ma Yun …"
He Ming frowned, then waved his hand and said, "I got it. You go first, I'll be there in a while."
The staff didn't say much and hurriedly trotted away. When he left, he forgot to close the door in his hurry.
This made He Ming even more annoyed. A company was a company, and there was no clear distinction between superiors and inferiors.
If it was in the system, this kind of person could never climb up in his lifetime.
Cursing in his heart, He Ming didn't continue to think about it. After thinking for a while, He Ming picked up his teacup and walked to the reception room.
When he left the office and walked to the reception room upstairs, the two staff who just passed by couldn't help but whisper, "Director He went to a meeting again?"
"Probably, I heard that Li Dong came."
"Director He is good at everything. After he came to our company, he did a lot of big things and helped us vent our anger. But every time I see Director He holding a big porcelain jar, it feels a little strange. "The staff who spoke previously couldn't help but laugh.
The other person hurriedly said, "Lower your voice, you're finished if you're heard …"
Seeing that his companion was nervous, the person who spoke previously pouted and mumbled, "What are you afraid of? It's not like you can't find a job. I thought it was an iron rice bowl."
Although Bailian was a state-owned enterprise, the ordinary employees of state-owned enterprises weren't much different from the employees of other enterprises.
In terms of salary, the salary was lower, and only the benefits were slightly better.
But in this day and age, many private enterprises had benefits that weren't worse than state-owned enterprises. They weren't civil servants who had a guaranteed income. They valued it a little, but they weren't afraid to the point of losing their jobs.
Muttering was just muttering. Recently, Bailian's market had risen, and the staff who spoke didn't want to lose their jobs over such a small matter.
The two didn't talk about He Ming anymore, but they were still a little amused. He Ming and Ma Xingsheng both came from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission.
Ma Xingsheng was older and had more experience, but after Ma Xingsheng entered Bailian, he put down his arrogance.
On the other hand, He Ming was much younger and hadn't been in the system as long as Ma Xingsheng. Instead, he was more arrogant and liked to put on airs.
If He Ming hadn't come and swept away the decline of Bailian, there might have been people who couldn't stand his behavior.
…
In the reception room.
Ma Xingsheng smiled and said, "Although I'm old, I'm also learning how to shop online. The young people in my family are also using online shopping. General Manager Li and General Manager Ma are both leaders in the field of e-commerce. For Hua Xia's retail industry … "
Ma Xingsheng praised the two a little, but he didn't treat Shen Guojun badly. In fact, in the eyes of many people, especially the older generation of businessmen, Shen Guojun's status was even higher than Ma Yun's.
In the past two years, although e-commerce had shown signs of rising.
But in the overall environment, e-commerce's impact on the traditional retail industry wasn't that big.
To be honest, the real reason why Ma Yun was known to the public was because of Li Dong.
If not for Li Dong, the current Ma Yun wasn't that famous.
And Li Dong was really famous. In addition, he and Ma Yun had a few confrontations, a bet with Ma Yun, and the limelight with Ma Yun at the Internet Conference, which made Ma Yun's reputation rise day by day.
Change wasn't something that could be done overnight. Before e-commerce's impact on the traditional retail industry, Ma Xingsheng didn't pay as much attention to Ma Yun as he imagined.
A few polite words were considered to be a form of support. Ma Xingsheng had been in the industry for so many years, so he naturally understood that it was meaningless to offend people for no reason.
Ma Xingsheng thought so, but it didn't mean that everyone thought so.
Just as they were chatting, there was a knock on the door of the reception room.
Following that, He Ming pushed the door open and entered with a teacup. When he saw everyone, He Ming smiled and said, "General Manager Li, CEO Shen, I'm sorry for the delay!"
After saying that, He Ming smiled and said to Ma Yun and Ma Xingsheng, "General Manager Ma, Chairman, I had something urgent to deal with just now, so I'm sorry for being late!"
From the greeting, it could be seen that in He Ming's heart, Li Dong and Shen Guojun were more important than the other two.
Ma Yun was in the Internet business. In He Ming's eyes, Taobao was just a third-party platform. In fact, he didn't have much interaction with him, so he didn't need to pay much attention to it.
If it wasn't for the person behind him saying that he could try to cooperate with Ali, He Ming really wouldn't have thought about it.
This was also the current thinking of most state-owned enterprises. Stability was the main priority. These new industries, they would wait until they saw the effects before deciding whether or not to introduce them.
Right now, the effects weren't too obvious.
So far away was an exception. The other retail groups didn't have outstanding results in the e-commerce industry, and instead, they spent a lot of resources and energy.
It was natural that He Ming didn't pay much attention to it.
Of course, He Ming wasn't stupid. Although his focus was different, he didn't really ignore it and still greeted him.
Once He Ming arrived, everyone's eyes focused on him.
Li Dong and Ma Yun had previously guessed that Bailian's several big moves came from this young CEO who had just arrived.
Both of them had just chatted with Ma Xingsheng for a while and roughly confirmed that it wasn't Ma Xingsheng who brought about the changes.
Now that He Ming showed up, both of them were naturally interested.
As for the difference in He Ming's greeting, everyone didn't pay much attention to it. Ma Yun didn't have such thoughts at all, so naturally, he didn't think too much about it.
As for Li Dong, he usually dealt with people in the business world, so he didn't beat around the bush and wouldn't be bothered by such small issues.
In the room, Ma Xingsheng was probably the only one who noticed this. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, but he didn't show it.
Ma Xingsheng smiled as he stood up and introduced He Ming to everyone.
After both parties greeted each other, Li Dong laughed and teased, "CEO He, you guys didn't do justice to Yonghui this time. You even hid it from me. It's a legitimate acquisition, but you made it sound like a war of secrecy. When I found out that you guys acquired Yonghui, I was shocked. "
Ma Xingsheng was about to change the topic, but he didn't move as fast as He Ming.
Before he could speak, He Ming laughed and said, "Excuse me, excuse me! Yonghui's matter isn't worth mentioning, the scale is just average, and the route is simple. We were just doing it along the way … "
Before he finished speaking, Li Dong and Ma Yun looked at each other, slightly surprised.
It wasn't that He Ming was being modest. Yonghui had been acquired by Bailian, and Yonghui was Zhang Xuansong's favorite.
It wasn't a problem for He Ming to flatter him, but now he seemed humble, but he was stepping on Yonghui. If Zhang Xuansong found out, it wouldn't be a good thing.
Even if it was just for show, he probably wouldn't be happy if others said that his son was ugly.
Li Dong didn't mean to sow discord when he said that. He just wanted to open up the topic and test him.
In the end, He Ming's reaction was somewhat unexpected. After a few words, he couldn't help but speak in a bureaucratic tone.
The corners of Li Dong's mouth curled up slightly. When He Ming finished speaking, he smiled again and said, "CEO He, you're being modest. Under your leadership, Bailian's recent results have been outstanding …"
Li Dong's words really carried a hint of provocation. After all, the boss of Bailian was not He Ming.
Unexpectedly, He Ming was probably used to ignoring Ma Xingsheng.
After Li Dong said a few words, although he had underestimated Li Dong before, He Ming also knew that Li Dong's reputation in the business world wasn't ordinary.
After being flattered by Li Dong with a few words, He Ming immediately felt good from head to toe. Although he said "not worth mentioning", his face was full of smiles and he became even more polite to Li Dong.
Seeing this scene, he looked at Ma Xingsheng who didn't say a word at the side.
Li Dong suddenly laughed. In the beginning, he really felt that He Ming wasn't simple.
When he talked to Shen Qian previously, he guessed that the work of Bailian should be done by an amazing person around 40 years old. He might have some connections in both the political and business worlds and was very receptive to new things.
He didn't reject the Internet system and had some far-sighted taste.
When he first saw He Ming's resume, Li Dong even praised himself. He really had good foresight and guessed everything correctly.
But when he really saw He Ming, Li Dong immediately laughed at himself. 'I really f * cking made myself proud.'
If this guy said that Bailian's work was done by him and he even suppressed Ma Xingsheng to the point that he couldn't lift his head, Li Dong wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.
Unless He Ming could really pretend and pretend to the point that even Li Dong doubted himself, then he would be considered ruthless.
But Li Dong felt that the possibility was very low. Some people could be roughly seen through the moment they opened their mouths.
In the past few years, he had come into contact with many people. He had interacted with all kinds of people.
Whether it was high level or low level, Li Dong didn't dare to say a few words and understood the other party completely.
But in general, he could still see a person's personality.
He Ming was obviously not the person he guessed.
With this, Li Dong suddenly lost much interest in him.
And Ma Yun didn't even say anything. If Li Dong could see it, he could obviously see it too.
Coupled with what Shen Guojun said, Ma Yun already had a rough judgment.
Bailian was still the same Bailian, the same old stuff.
At least in the eyes of the two, Ma Xingsheng and He Ming didn't have the courage and ability to sweep away the shortcomings of the past and let this giant retail ship set sail again.
And the two of them were the chairman and CEO of Bailian. Since it wasn't them, it was obviously someone else.
Who could still influence them within the Bailian?
Li Dong guessed that the change probably didn't come from the inside, but from the outside.
And who would have such an impact on the Bailian and who had the ability to influence it? Li Dong had a rough judgment in his heart.
Since he knew that the change didn't come from the inside, Li Dong wasn't very interested in investigating the Bailian.
It was still the same. There was nothing much to see. He would understand it later.
Immediately, the few of them exchanged pleasantries for a while. Li Dong fired a few empty shots and didn't even stay for lunch, patting his butt and leaving.
