As for the talent management system of Far Away, Li Dong had already considered it.
For a period of time, Li Dong actually wanted to develop Far Away in the direction of the family business.
But later, he found out that he was very wrong.
First of all, the Li family and the Cao family did not have such high-end talents. Far Away was not considered a traditional industry, and it was not feasible to rely on the people in the family.
Second, the people in the family were not necessarily more loyal than outsiders.
The Shen family and the Sun family were both living examples. Often, trouble arose from the walls.
Previously in Guangdong Province, Li Dong had also met the paper tycoon Zhang Ying. In the end, because of the family management problems, a series of shortcomings appeared.
And over at Dragon Lake, Wu Yajun's husband's family continued to send people there.
In the end, Wu Yajun was so annoyed that she even kicked her husband away.
With these living examples here, Li Dong naturally had to think more and weigh more.
In the end, Li Dong still decided not to be too focused on the family business.
Far Away, the current senior executives, except for Qin Hai and Li Dong who had some private connections, the other senior executives all relied on their ability to get there.
As for Qin Hai, his ability might not be considered outstanding, but he was conscientious, worked hard, and did not make any big mistakes. To be able to maintain the continuous expansion of Far Away's logistics, in fact, it had already exceeded Li Dong's expectations.
Even the elder, Sun Tao, was constantly improving himself.
If he could not keep up with the rhythm, he would still be eliminated.
And Shen Qian, also saw Li Dong's change, and took the initiative to withdraw from Far Away, this was also a kind of wisdom.
Li Dong had always said that the human heart was the most complicated.
This point was actually reflected incisively and vividly in him!
He hoped that he could obtain family affection, and also hoped that the people in the family could have a future, and have a way out.
But at the same time, he did not want to support too much, causing these people to only rely on themselves in the end, and become parasites.
However, this was often a false proposition. Without his support, with the connections and resources of the Li and Cao families, even if some people had the ability, it would be very difficult for them to rise.
Li Dong told Yao Bo that one had to rely on oneself, and external factors were not important.
But the reality was that in this day and age, if someone was willing to give you a hand, you could save decades of effort. With the same ability, the path you took in the end might be a height that others could not reach.
Therefore, he opened a gap for his family, but he didn't want this gap to become a door.
Li Dong would give more space and opportunities to those who could squeeze through this gap.
If he couldn't, it meant that he wasn't qualified.
Li Dong had actually given Yao Bo a chance.
Li Dong let Yao Bo choose his own bank, company, or start his own business. Once Yao Bo was successful, Li Dong would consider more things.
Of course, all of this was still in preparation.
…
After leaving the hotel, Li Dong couldn't go back with his parents because he still had to go to Beijing the next day.
Yao Bo and the rest obviously wouldn't leave today and stayed at Wanyuan's place for the night.
At the entrance of the hotel, Li Dong separated from the rest.
After he left, Yao Bo suddenly let out a long sigh of relief. Li Qing saw this and couldn't help but say, "Isn't it embarrassing?!"
Yao Bo smiled bitterly. "You should have told me before. You don't know, I was under a lot of pressure tonight … If I knew …"
Li Qing was speechless. "So what if I knew? It's actually quite good this way. If I really prepared in advance, some words might not be the truth, and who knows what will happen in the end. "
Yao Bo thought about it and felt that Li Qing was right.
If he really knew that he was going to meet Li Dong, he would have definitely prepared in advance. He might have even searched online to see what Li Dong liked.
But if he really did that, with Li Dong's experience and wisdom, he would definitely be able to see through it.
Once some words were empty, it might make Li Dong feel even more disgusted.
…
That night, Yao Bo couldn't sleep.
Li Qing also couldn't sleep.
Their affairs were actually trivial matters.
Du Juan, who was far away in Beijing, didn't sleep well. The detained Old Huang didn't sleep well. The directors and shareholders of Gome didn't sleep well.
Even Cheng Gang couldn't sleep well.
He knew where Cheng Hui was.
He had thought that Cheng Hui would continue to stay in Beijing to deal with him, or continue to plot something else.
But now, Cheng Gang knew that some people should not be judged by the old standards.
That afternoon, Cheng Gang received a message.
Cheng Hui's wife, his sister-in-law, had a heart attack at home. She died before she could be sent to the hospital.
A woman in her forties who had no history of heart disease died just like that.
Outsiders might not be surprised, but Cheng Gang knew that some things were not that simple.
His fourth brother was more ruthless than he thought.
Now, Cheng Hui was missing again.
If there were no surprises, he should have come to Beijing from Shanghai.
Cheng Gang could guess what he was thinking. If his wife died, he would probably be next.
He used to think that his fourth brother would find an opportunity to go abroad.
Now, it seemed that the Cheng family was not easy to deal with.
What he wanted to do to his fourth brother, he wanted to do to him even more.
Thinking of Cheng Hui, Cheng Gang couldn't help but think of Li Dong.
Compared to Cheng Hui, Cheng Gang was more afraid of Li Dong.
Killing with a borrowed knife!
Killing two birds with one stone!
But even though he knew all this, he had to compromise with Li Dong and couldn't get anything on him. That was what made him feel helpless.
If Li Dong used the video to threaten him and forcefully bought over Gome's shares without paying, then Cheng Gang would have the capital to threaten Li Dong.
But Li Dong didn't use this to threaten him, even though he knew that was what he was talking about!
He offered 1.5 billion. For the current Gome, this price was appropriate. It was in line with the market price. There was no robbery.
Moreover, there were some things that shouldn't be discussed openly.
For example, the deal between Fukang and Far away was between the two companies and had nothing to do with Cheng Gang.
Cheng Gang couldn't stand out and tell others that he had the final say in Fukang.
I sold it because Li Dong threatened me.
There was no evidence. If he stood out, he would only be attacked. There was no benefit.
What about Cheng Hui?
He also knew that Li Dong was using him, but he acquiesced.
From Cheng Hui's actions, the first person he wanted to kill was Cheng Gang, then his wife, and maybe his lovers …
In the end, if the conditions allowed, he probably wanted to kill Li Dong.
Cheng Gang thought about this. On one hand, he felt that Li Dong was afraid. On the other hand, he felt that he was too careless. In the end, he felt that it was all Cheng Hui's fault!
Even Cheng Gang himself felt that this kind of psychological bias was extremely complicated.
The real enemy should be Li Dong. Why did he blame Li Dong and why did Li Dong think of him?
…
December 16th.
Li Dong boarded the flight to Beijing.
On the plane, Li Dong met someone he didn't want to meet.
But regardless of whether he wanted to meet her or not, Li Dong still greeted her. "Auntie Sun, are you returning to Beijing?"
Sun Yuehua smiled. "Yes. What about you? Didn't you just come back? What's up? "
"It's about Gome."
Li Dong didn't mind talking about business to avoid the awkwardness.
When he mentioned Gome, the entire first-class cabin quietened down.
Sun Yuehua laughed. "Don't tell me your business secrets. I'm not interested."
Li Dong didn't mind. "It's not a secret. The media had already reported about it. I had also mentioned it the last time. This time, I have officially reached an agreement with Gome. That's all. "
Most of the people in the first-class cabin were businessmen from Jiang Bei and the capital.
Hearing Li Dong's words, someone asked, "General Manager Li, is Far away really going to take control of Gome?"
Li Dong laughed. "How is that possible? It's just a cooperation. It's not a controlling stake. Of course, if we work well together in the future, we may continue to work together. "
Everyone didn't care if they believed it or not. Since Li Dong said it, they took it seriously.
Another person asked, "General Manager Li, I heard that Far Away is going to implement a cashless offline payment system in Jiangbei. We're quite interested. But my company isn't in Jiangbei. Will it be inconvenient if we want to join?"
Li Dong quickly said, "That's not the case. The reason why we're implementing it in Jiangbei is because we're afraid that other regions won't accept it. Jiangbei is where our headquarters is. Far Away has built some foundations over the years, so it's easier to promote it. My idea is to implement it in Jiangbei first, then expand it to the whole country. But if you're interested, Far Away really hopes to work with all of you. We can't wait for you to take the initiative to help us open up the market. "
"General Manager Li …"
Since Li Dong was willing to answer, everyone was willing to communicate more with Li Dong.
Originally, the first-class cabin wasn't suitable for too much noise.
But at this time, no one minded, and no one raised any objections.
Even the government officials wanted to know more. All of them listened attentively, afraid that they would miss out on something.
Seeing this, Sun Yuehua sighed softly. People were afraid of comparison.
Compared to Li Dong, many young geniuses felt that they were inferior by just a little bit.
Zhuang Fan was considered one of the more outstanding ones among the younger generation. But compared to Li Dong, he was still weaker.
Hsu Shengzhe was also outstanding. Among the second generation, there was a high proportion of talents. These people were highly educated, and they had extraordinary foresight and knowledge from a young age.
However, when he compared him to Li Dong, he felt that he was still lacking.
It was about a two-hour flight from Pingchuan to Beijing.
And in these two hours, Li Dong had reached an agreement with six companies to promote Wantoon, negotiated a preliminary purchase agreement with three companies, and helped several companies to open up online channels …
The so-called help to open up online channels was actually for everyone's companies to enter Far Away Mall.
This was different from the traditional entry. In the past, when companies entered the mall, it was self-operated.
But now, when discussing the issue of cooperation with Far Away, it was no longer self-operated, but Far Away self-operated.
To put it nicely, these companies were Far Away's merchants, but in fact, they were suppliers.
Pricing, sales, logistics, after-sales … Far Away had taken over all of them.
This was actually no different from suppliers, and the profits might not be as good as suppliers.
But now, some small and medium-sized enterprises were unable to open up their own online channels and enter Far Away. No matter how much they earned, at least they were still earning, and every bit they could earn counted.
Li Dong's method of unifying the online channels was actually to make Far Away the only online channel, and the other companies would become part of the supply chain.
If it was in the past, everyone would definitely not do it.
But now, even Gome had compromised, and many companies had also started to compromise. Far Away Mall had also become the biggest brand in the online channel, and it was also the most trusted brand.
Even if one did not cooperate with Far Away, there would always be others who would cooperate with Far Away.
As time went on, others' business would be better than yours, and they would earn more than you, and no one would be satisfied.
Since they could not manage their own online channels, then they would just hand it over to Far Away to manage.
When the flight was about to arrive, everyone was also tired of talking. Sun Yuehua, who had not spoken much, suddenly said in a low voice, "Li Dong, one day, as intermediate suppliers, will we also be included in the scope of your elimination? When that time comes, you will control all the channels, and it will be the only channel. You can directly cooperate with the manufacturers, and as intermediate suppliers, there seems to be no need for us to exist anymore. "
When Li Dong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he chuckled and said, "There is still a value in our existence, and we can't do it with all the manufacturers.
Purchasing is also a very big problem.
You intermediate suppliers are actually a big part of saving manpower and resources for us.
I'm not saying that all of your living space will be taken away, but it will be appropriate to compress some space. The main thing is that the profits from one transfer are too big, and it causes us, the channel operators, to have no choice but to add the cost to the consumers.
If we want to increase our competitiveness, it is necessary to compress your profit margin.
Of course, quantity can make up for everything.
Aunt Sun should understand what I mean when I say this. "
Sun Yuehua looked at him and did not say anything. She naturally understood what Li Dong meant.
After thinking for a while, Sun Yuehua asked again, "Aren't you afraid of causing a commotion by telling me this now?"
Li Dong chuckled and said, "There's nothing to be afraid of. This is my purpose, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it, so there's no point in denying it.
Actually, I want to cut out all the intermediate suppliers, but I also understand that this will add too much trouble for us.
Just a purchasing channel alone is enough for us to expand for ten years.
In the end, the cost might even be higher than here. After all, there are specializations in some fields, and you guys can maximize the benefits in some fields, and you have a tacit understanding with the local enterprises and government.
If we rashly intervene, it might lead to a lot of unexpected changes.
Therefore, unless it's some manufacturers that come knocking on our door, we would rather cooperate with you. "
Sun Yuehua pondered and nodded, "You're actually right about this. Even if you purchase on your own now, the cost might not be lower than what we give you. Why hasn't Wal-Mart removed the intermediate suppliers yet? That's because they know that even if they do, they will still have to pay for it. Moreover, it will destroy the jobs of too many people, and the losses outweigh the gains. Actually, I've been worried that you've taken too big a step since you established the Global Sourcing Center. Actually, I don't really care about it, but the key is that Far Away might cut off its own supply chain, and in the end, there will be irreversible losses. "
With a smile on his face, Li Dong did not continue speaking.
Some things might not be easy to say now, but in the future, it might be different.
Sooner or later, he would have to get rid of the intermediate suppliers.
Even for enterprises like Gome, if it wasn't for their offline problems, there wouldn't be much value in just their online existence.
The brands that Gome sold all had direct distributors and Far Away partners.
Why did Li Dong value Gome so much?
Because Gome's key was to have a reasonable offline distribution, which was a great help in opening up the O2O market.
If Gome was purely doing online business, Li Dong might not be willing to spend so much effort to scheme against it.
What Sun Yuehua said meant that she was a little worried.
Far Away was getting bigger and bigger. Although they were still cooperating with them now, what about in the future?
Li Dong was very ambitious. He wanted to be the biggest distributor and the only online distributor …
If that happened, they would be in danger.
However, what Sun Yuehua said was right. Even if Li Dong could supply all the suppliers directly, he would not dare to do so in a short period of time.
If he really did that, he would destroy the jobs of countless people!
Far Away had already made countless enemies. If they destroyed other people's jobs and resisted together, the dream of Far Away's only distributor would be a castle in the air.
