Cheng Hui's script had deviated because of this series of changes.
According to Cheng Hui's thinking, this was not the climax yet. It was just the beginning.
After he had taken Li Dong's woman, he would send a video to provoke Li Dong into a frenzy as usual. This was the result he wanted.
Although Li Dong was furious, he did not go crazy.
There were no loopholes in these few things. In addition, the person was not dead yet. It was difficult for him to do anything about it.
Cheng Hui, who was disappointed and a little scared, was ready to come to Beijing to see the situation.
Since Li Dong had already noticed it, it would be difficult to continue doing this.
Now, the best way was to let bygones be bygones.
Anyway, Li Dong did not lose anything. His loss was greater than Li Dong's. In Cheng Hui's opinion, it was not difficult to reconcile.
Even if they did not reconcile, Li Dong would not kill him over such a small matter, right?
Of course, thinking was just thinking. Cheng Hui also knew that Li Dong might not give him face. That guy was arrogant.
It would not be too late to discuss it with his boss. Even if he did not want to see his boss.
…
On Cheng Hui's side, Li Dong was not in a hurry for the time being.
He had just come out of the airport when his phone rang.
The call was from Liu Chuanzhi.
In the Hua Xia business world, Liu Chuanzhi was a big shot. He was more warm-hearted, or rather, he knew how to conduct himself.
He had joined almost all the business circles.
He had also prepared a lot of circles, whether it was the Entrepreneur Club, Hua Xia Alumni Association, Taishan Club …
Old Liu was one of the founders of these circles, big or small.
In terms of connections, there were not many people in the Hua Xia business world who could compare to this big shot.
Whether it was the giants in the traditional industry, the giants in the Internet industry, some giants in the state-owned enterprises, or even experts in the field, they all had a good relationship with Old Liu.
As one of the newly rising giants in the business world, with Liu Chuanzhi's personality, Li Dong naturally hoped to get in touch with him.
As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Chuanzhi laughed and said, "Dongzi, I heard that you have arrived in Beijing?"
Li Dong also laughed and said, "Boss Liu is really well-informed. I just got off the plane, and you called me. Don't tell me you installed a tracker on me?"
"Hahaha, do I still need to find out where you, Li Dong, are? As soon as you came to the capital, there was a huge commotion. Everyone was saying that Brother Pao had gone to the capital and told everyone to be careful. Tell me, how could I not know? "
Li Dong laughed and said helplessly, "Looks like I can't get rid of this bad reputation. Don't you feel guilty? You laugh at me all the time, but don't you know how to help me explain?"
"What's there to explain? It's pretty good. I don't have such a bad reputation even if I wanted it. Also, you brought this bad reputation upon yourself. A few days ago, my daughter went to talk to you about financing, but you just caught people you knew and set them up. After that, my daughter called me and cried. She said that all the major investment banks treated her as a sinner. Dongzi, she is also a family. You can't cheat my daughter like this, right? "
Li Dong immediately laughed and said, "Brother, don't wrongly accuse me. There is no such thing. When my niece left, she held my hand and thanked me profusely. Don't spread rumors, I was helping her … "
Li Dong made a few jokes. Liu Chuanzhi didn't come to denounce him, so they talked about something else. Then he said, "Are you free tonight? If you have time, let's get together. You are now rich and have almost forgotten us old guys. You didn't come to the club's meeting, and you didn't come to the class reunion dinner. Ma Yun said a lot of bad things about you. You are now the target of everyone's hatred. You will treat tonight, and I will help you find some allies. "
Li Dong looked at the time and said with a smile, "Okay, no problem. Brother, then you have to help me find some allies. Later, we will deal with Old Ma and the other bastards for spreading rumors about me. "
"That depends on who treats more. Whoever treats more, we will support them …"
Liu Chuanzhi said and laughed. There were people talking next to him. Obviously, he was not alone on the phone.
Li Dong didn't ask much. After chatting for a while, he set the time and address and hung up the phone.
Recently, he really didn't participate in these private activities. On the one hand, he was busy. On the other hand, most of the gatherings were in Jing City. During this time, he didn't come here. He was too lazy to come here.
When he left the airport, Qi Yunna was already waiting outside.
Nowadays, when Li Dong went out, it was no longer a matter of one or two cars.
Qi Yunna prepared a long motorcade, at least seven or eight cars.
Seeing Li Dong go out, Qi Yunna quickly greeted him and said with a smile, "General Manager Li, do you want to go to the branch office or to the hotel or somewhere else?"
Li Dong said as he got into the car, "Go to the hotel first. Also, make some arrangements. Tomorrow or the day after, I want to meet Du Juan. Also, help me make an appointment with Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. See if he can find time to talk to me. Finally, help me prepare some gifts … "
Qi Yunna said without batting an eyelid, "Tacky or elegant?"
At Li Dong's position, there were very few people who could get him to personally send gifts.
Since Li Dong said it, it was obviously not an ordinary person. She had to ask clearly to avoid any accidents.
Li Dong shook his head and said, "Personal gifts. Something simple will do. Prepare one for both men and women. You can ask Shen Qian about the specifics and see what she says."
Once this was said, Qi Yunna generally understood.
She did not ask more. She would know after communicating with Shen Qian.
The two talked for a while. Li Dong did not ask about business matters.
…
Just as Li Dong was on the way to the hotel.
Gome headquarters.
All the members of the board of directors had gathered, except for one person, the chairman of the board, Old Huang.
The meeting room was a little quiet.
After some time, someone said, "I'm afraid CEO Huang will not be able to continue leading the group in the short term. A country cannot be without a leader. A soldier cannot be without a general. Suning is coming in aggressively. Far away, they are like a tiger watching its prey. E-commerce companies like Jingdong are ready to take over our market. If this continues, we will really be besieged on all sides. The most important thing now is to stabilize the internal situation to prevent people from panicking. As CEO Huang is temporarily unable to perform his duties as the chairman of the board, I think it is necessary to hold a new election to lead us out of the current difficulties. "
As soon as this director finished speaking, someone immediately said, "That's right. We can't just sit and wait for death. At this moment, it is very important to appease people. There are wolves in front of us and tigers behind us. If we don't save ourselves now, it will be too late! "
"I agree too!"
"That's right. At this moment, we need to elect a new decision-maker who can lead us out of this difficult situation."
"…"
Everyone agreed. In an instant, more than half of the board members agreed to hold a new election.
Only a few people in the meeting room remained calm.
Du Juan did not say a word. Cheng Xiao, who was then the chairman of the group, also did not say a word.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that most of the directors who spoke earlier were the senior executives of Euphoria Steppes. There was no doubt who had instructed them to do so.
When Gome acquired Yongle, Yongle's management did not withdraw immediately.
Gome did not have the funds to carry out a full acquisition. Rather than an acquisition, it was more appropriate to call it a merger.
In the entire group, Euphoria was currently the second largest system.
Although the Huang family was the largest shareholder, they did not have the absolute leadership. At least, they did not have the absolute control.
Other than the senior executives of Euphoria, the executive directors of Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan Chase also agreed to hold a new election.
Euphoria, JP Morgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, and another new shareholder that joined last year, the Fukang Group, the total shareholding of these four companies was equal to that of the Huang family.
As for the other shares in the market, they naturally had no decision-making power at this time.
Other than the Huang family and some of the senior executives of Gome who did not say a word, the others agreed to change the chairman of the board.
After a while, someone looked at Du Juan and asked, "Chairman Du, what do you think?"
Du Juan looked around and focused on Cheng Xiao. Cheng Xiao was still calm and collected, nodding at her lightly.
Du Juan sighed softly. At this time, it was inevitable to change the chairman of the board. She could not change it.
If her husband could not come out, she could not hold on to the chairman's position and not let go.
However, these people suddenly raised an objection and decided to change the chairman so quickly. Obviously, their purpose was not just this.
Although she was also one of the executive directors and the Huang family was the largest shareholder, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that everyone wanted a capable, qualified, and charismatic leader to lead Gome out of its predicament.
Who was suitable?
Of course, it was the current chairman, Cheng Xiao!
He had rich leadership experience. Euphoria Home Appliances, which he led, was also one of the top domestic appliances giants.
With such a person around, would Du Juan even have a chance to become the chairman?
Although she was the spokesperson of the Huang family, there were rumors that she was not clean and might follow in Old Huang's footsteps.
Regardless of the reason, everyone could not support her.
She didn't want to be arrested right after they supported her to become the chairman of the board. If that happened, Gome would become the biggest joke.
Two of the top leaders were arrested in a row. It was an unimaginable blow to Gome.
Du Juan sighed softly in her heart and said without changing her expression, "Since everyone has decided, I have no objections. But isn't it too rushed now? It's already the last month of the year. Even if we change the chairman, we'll have to wait until after this year. What do you think? "
Old Huang had just been in office and it was almost the New Year.
At this time, it was not suitable for Old Huang to step down. Otherwise, it would not look good and Gome would seem to want Old Huang to leave as soon as possible.
As soon as Du Juan spoke, a few of Gome's elders also hurriedly said, "That's right. At least we have to inform Chairman Huang and get his approval before we can change the chairman."
After all, Old Huang had been in charge of Gome for many years and was quite prestigious.
The executive directors of JP Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley hesitated for a moment. They invested in Gome back then because of Old Huang.
In the past few years, Suning had risen strongly and Gome was gradually losing ground. But after all, the business was still growing and was still making money. The people from these organizations also believed in Old Huang.
It was necessary to leave some face for Old Huang.
Anyway, it was only a month away. Was there a need to rush for a few days?
After Gome's directors finished speaking, an executive director of Fukang said indifferently, "We have no objections to Chairman Zhou's suggestion.
But this matter cannot be delayed any longer.
The home appliances to the countryside policy is about to be released, and we are racing against time now.
We also need someone to take charge of the layout of the rural outlets and compete with Suning and the other e-commerce companies.
Also, Far away cannot be underestimated.
Everyone in the industry knows about Li Dong's ambition!
He wants to build his O2O nationwide plan and even wants to take over the online channels of some retail companies to cooperate with their O2O expansion.
I heard that many people are tempted.
Even some of our own people are secretly contacting Far away, wanting to hand over our company's online channels!
This is absolutely intolerable!
Once Chairman Huang is gone, some people do not care about the big picture and want to lead a wolf into the house. For their own interests, they will harm the interests of the entire company!
Gome does not belong to anyone. We all have the obligation to make Gome more stable and more promising.
Although our online channels are not good enough, we must not let Far away interfere. If not, there will be endless troubles! "
When Far away was mentioned, everyone's expression changed.
And everyone knew who this director was talking about who betrayed the company's interests.
Du Juan contacting Far away and even personally talking to Far away's Hua Bei President, Qi Yunna. This was not a big secret.
At their level, a lot of news could not be hidden from others.
This director of Fukang was obviously indirectly scolding the locust, using Far away to enter Gome to make everyone feel a sense of crisis.
The Huang family, in order to protect their own position, had gone crazy. They did not care about the lives of others and only cared about their control.
But did they not think about it, Far away was not a pushover.
If they let Far away in now, there will be big troubles in the future!
Although the current online channels were not that strong, this year's B2C + C2C market share had more than doubled compared to last year.
In 2007, these two e-commerce's total transaction volume was less than 100 billion.
But this year, almost a year had passed, and the total transaction volume had exceeded 200 billion and was approaching 300 billion!
This increase made all the physical retailers tremble with fear.
Also, they heard that Li Dong had arrived in Beijing and wanted to continue promoting his Internet + and other businesses. How could everyone not be worried?
Once he really completed the retail alliance, his O2O business would be promoted to the whole country.
Then, would these physical retail giants still have any room to resist?
Suning was also increasing their investment in O2O business. They did not want Far away to be left too far behind.
Nowadays, electrical appliances were a big part of online shopping, and most of the business was taken by home appliance retailers.
If Li Dong controlled Gome's online channels, it would be too dangerous.
When Fukang's director said this, the few executive directors who were hesitant also said. "That's true. Far away is like a hungry wolf that will swallow everything. Even Suning is not as aggressive as Far away. It is not feasible to cooperate with Far away. It is too dangerous! "
Everyone understood what he meant. Du Juan must not be promoted, including the Huang family's other directors!
Du Juan was more inclined to cooperate with Far away to resist Suning's attack and protect the Huang family's dominance.
To the Huang family, this was worth it.
But to the others, this was using the group's benefits in exchange for an ally, and it was the Huang family's ally. To them, this was not worth it.
Previously, Gome's senior members said to wait for Huang Guangyu to agree, and they even wanted to delay until the end of the year, or even until Chinese New Year … …
This was not impossible, but at this moment, the others were uneasy.
Now, Gome was still controlled by the Huang family.
Although Du Juan was not the chairman of the board, she was temporarily replacing Old Huang. If she made a decision during this period, even if the others could object, it would be troublesome, and they might even fall out with her.
Instead of that, it was better to let Du Juan give up as soon as possible.
A JP Morgan director thought for a moment and said. "Director Zhou, we can wait for CEO Huang's decision. But we cannot wait too long. We must confirm it before the end of the month. We are not unreasonable people, and we will announce it on New Year's Day. Before that, we will be in charge of the group as a representative. "
Director Zhou looked at Du Juan, and Du Juan looked at the others again. Seeing everyone's determined face, she knew she could not refuse anymore.
Now, JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley were not ready to fall out with each other.
Just Fukang and Perpetual Joy alone was not enough to shake the Huang family's position.
But once these two companies were forced to side with each other, it would be a big problem.
In order to rope in the two parties, Du Juan fell silent for a moment before nodding her head. "Sure. Director Huang will make a decision as soon as possible."
Everyone was relieved, and Fukang and Perpetual Joy's directors looked at Cheng Xiao.
Cheng Xiao nodded. "Let's leave it at that for now. But there are some things we need to prepare. The year-end sales will be the peak. Furthermore, the home appliances to the countryside policy will be released soon, and the competition will be fierce! Suning, Distance, e-commerce companies like Jingdong, and home appliance manufacturers like Haier will all treat us as their main targets! At this time, we should not waste too much time on small matters. "
Everyone understood what Cheng Xiao meant by small matters.
The chairman's matter was a small matter, and the upcoming competition was the most important.
If anything goes wrong, Gome might be doomed.
Hence, they had to resolve the small matters as soon as possible.
After a while, Cheng Xiao said, "Let's adjourn."
The crowd didn't say anything else and left one after another.
After Du Juan and the rest left, one of Perpetual Joy's senior executives whispered. "CEO Cheng, why did you stop? That woman won't be able to handle it. Morgan Stanley and Morgan are hesitating. "
Cheng Xiao shook his head. "Don't push them too hard. There's no need to fight to the death. Even if they want to fight to the death, they can't let it go. In a few more days, Du Juan won't be able to hold back and will continue to interact with Far away. But she doesn't understand that the more she interacts with Far away, the more they are afraid of her. Far away is ruthless, and Du Juan must be out of her mind. "
…
Just as he was talking about Du Juan.
Du Juan said coldly. "Gome is facing internal and external problems. Fukang and Cheng Xiao's people are eager to seize control of the company.
There are also many strong enemies outside, and Suning is our biggest opponent. Far away is only second to Suning.
I know this, but we can't fight them alone. If both parties attack us at the same time, we won't be able to hold them off.
As for how powerful the online channel was, that was a matter for the future.
Right now, the most important thing for us is our physical stores.
If we cooperate with Far away, we still have a chance to make a comeback. If we don't cooperate with Far away, they will attack us online and offline. That is the biggest crisis!
Cheng Xiaoguang knows that Far away is dangerous, but if we don't cooperate, isn't it dangerous?
Far away and Suning becoming enemies at the same time. That is the biggest danger! "
Du Juan was right. At this moment, it was better to turn enemies into friends and form alliances. It would be much better for them to do so than to be enemies with each other. It would be much better than the current situation.
As for the online channels, to be honest, there weren't many people interested in them.
Far away wanted it, and it wasn't impossible to give it to them.
At least, the current e-commerce market hadn't brought much impact to the physical market.
Instead of thinking about the future, it was better to think about the present.
If they couldn't get through this, there was no need to talk about the future.
The middle-aged man who spoke earlier, Chairman Zhou, said in a low voice. "Chairman Du, this situation isn't good for us. Once Cheng Xiao takes control of the company, with his selfishness, I'm afraid we will be surrounded by enemies. "
Du Juan nodded. Just as she was about to speak, her secretary hurried over and said in a low voice, "Chairman Du …"
Du Juan heard a few words, and her eyes lit up. She said in a deep voice, "I know!"
She had long heard of that man's name, but unfortunately, she didn't have the chance to meet him.
This time, regardless of whether they could reach an agreement or not, Du Juan wanted to hear how this guy, who was known as a legend, viewed the situation.
