The chairman of the board was decided.
Next was the nomination of the CEO.
Under Du Juan's signal, Secretary Dong, who was hosting the meeting, announced Du Juan's name.
The atmosphere in the meeting room was a little tense. Everyone was hesitating.
Du Juan was the person in charge of the Huang family in Gome.
She was the biggest shareholder!
It should not be a problem for her to be the CEO. It should not be a problem for the major shareholder to be the CEO.
However, it was hard to say for now.
Du Juan's identity was an advantage, but it was also a limitation.
If the rumors were true, that she was not clean, what should they do if something happened to her?
Du Juan did not say anything. The others did not say anything. The meeting room suddenly became quiet.
Du Juan's face darkened. She did not say anything.
Li Dong waited for a few seconds before he slowly said, "I don't have much of an opinion on Mr. Du being the CEO."
"Phew!"
There was a gasp in the meeting room. Then, everyone else agreed.
Du Juan's face looked a little better, but she was not happy.
As the major shareholder, she felt a little useless.
Before the host said anything, Li Dong continued, "I nominate Ms. Wang Yue as the Executive Vice CEO. She will assist Chairman Cheng and Ms. Du in managing Gome. Ms. Wang Yue is very experienced. I think she is qualified to be the Executive Vice CEO. "
"I agree!"
The representative from Damo was the first to speak.
The spokesperson of JP Morgan Chase followed closely behind and expressed his agreement.
On Fu Kang's side, after waiting for a moment, he slowly spoke.
These were the institutions that had followed Li Dong. No one was surprised.
But then, the person in charge of CRMC, who had been silent all day, suddenly said slowly, "We agree."
In an instant, the situation had been decided!
Except for Du Juan, who did not say anything, all of the shareholders who were at the top of the list agreed!
As Euphoria didn't belong to Cheng Xiao alone, they weren't ranked highly and weren't considered major shareholders.
The real major shareholders were these few institutions. Including Li Dong, there were five institutions that held 38% of the shares.
As for the other investment banks with smaller shares, they all followed Li Dong's lead. In addition, Shen Xuehua and Yanagawa also followed Li Dong's lead. In an instant, the number of shareholders who agreed to the proposal exceeded 51%.
Li Dong did not make things difficult for them regarding the chairman and president of the board of directors. At this time, if Du Juan and Cheng Xiao objected, it would create discord.
The two looked at each other. After a while, Du Juan nodded and said, "I also agree."
Cheng Xiao said solemnly, "I agree!"
At this point, the situation was settled, and Wang Yue became the third person on the board of directors.
When the Vice President in charge of human resources was nominated, Li Dong gently knocked on the table. Fukang's people quickly understood Li Dong's intention and said, "I feel that something is wrong. Director Wu Minjie had many years of experience in the HR field and had made great achievements. I suggest that Director Wu Minjie be in charge of the Human Resources Center and the Administrative Center. This way, Gome can be of greater help. "
Fukang gave up the financial power and the home appliance business to focus on human resources.
This was out of Du Juan and the rest's expectation.
Or, it was out of their expectation from the beginning to the end.
Financial power, human resources, and home appliance business. Du Juan and the rest did not have any objections since Fukang insisted.
The proposal was quickly approved.
The last executive director was in charge of the home appliance business.
The Vice President in charge of finance could not enter the board of directors, which made Du Juan feel a little regretful. In fact, if Li Dong and Fukang did not nominate candidates, according to the original plan, they should have at least one more executive director.
This way, her people could enter the board of directors.
Next, it was time to reorganize the nomination committee and remuneration committee.
Since the board of directors had already decided, it was easy to decide on the candidates.
Wang Yue was a part-time member of both committees, and the other non-executive director was also a part-time member of the nomination committee. No one objected.
The other minor shareholders could only watch. It was useless even if they nominated.
After two hours, the matter was completely settled.
Li Dong stretched his body and smiled. "The reorganization of the board of directors and the decision-making committee is over. Our next task is to resume trading.
Of course, it's not impossible to resume trading later. The key is that we can rely on ourselves.
January is coming, and it will be the implementation of the home appliance to the countryside policy.
We are already one step behind others, and we cannot be any slower.
In the past few years, everyone was fighting for the city market and neglected the rural home appliance market.
Now, Hua Xia's economy is developing rapidly, and the farmers' lives are getting better. Their demand for home appliances has increased. Color TV, refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines had become the new big four.
According to the 2007 census, the rural population is more than 600 million, which is similar to the city's population.
As for the cities, after so many years of development, the market is not saturated, but it is no longer a new continent.
In the past few years, we were busy with the cities, and we neglected the rural market.
Now, the government has introduced a new policy, and the subsidy is as high as 13%. The four big products I mentioned are all within the subsidy range.
This is a new opportunity for our home appliance industry. Whether we can turn the situation around depends on this.
Now, Suning and other major manufacturers are doing the same. Haier, Gree, Midea, TCL, and other home appliance manufacturers are trying to get rid of our distribution channels and do it themselves.
Once they take over the rural market, our business will definitely be suppressed.
Therefore, let's put aside other trivial matters. The board of directors has been established, and the next step is to focus on this matter.
As for the cities, Far Away will cooperate with Gome, and we will mainly focus on the online distribution channels. The expansion can be delayed.
Everyone, what do you think? "
Cheng Xiao thought for a moment and said, "This is a must. In addition, we need to calm the public opinion and appease the suppliers. After CEO Huang left, the public opinion is very unfavorable to us, and it has caused a serious negative impact on the group's brand. The suppliers are not very stable, especially … Far Away and Suning have started to cooperate in Yu Province, and there are signs of a large number of defaults on the suppliers' side. What I mean is, can Far Away and Suning for now … "
Cheng Xiao looked at Li Dong, and Li Dong smiled and said, "Well, I'm afraid it won't end for the time being.
I can't bear the responsibility of changing orders all the time.
You also know that we weren't a family at that time, and I had no choice. Now, we can only wait.
But don't worry, the few of us can work together, and it's not that we have to target Gome.
In the market, there are not only a few home appliance companies.
After Best Buy acquired Five Star, in the home appliance industry, Suning took the first place after taking over Dazhong. Gome took over Sanlian and is now behind Suning, taking second place.
Best Buy joined forces with Five Star, taking third place.
The remaining few are Grand Trio, Dixintong, and Shengxing. Shengxing is weak now, and it's hard to say how long it can live.
What I mean is that the few of us can first work together to destroy Best Buy and Grand Trio.
As for the battle with Suning, we can leave it for last.
After all, rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, right? "
Cheng Xiao frowned slightly and did not say anything. At this point, it was useless for him to say anything.
Seeing this, Li Dong continued, "As for the suppliers, it's easy to solve. Even if I don't say anything, General Manager Cheng and General Manager Du can handle it. Gome has been established for so many years, it shouldn't be unable to settle such a small matter, right? "
Du Juan said solemnly, "Rest assured, General Manager Li, we will handle it as soon as possible."
"That's good. I also hope to have a good New Year. It's going to be 2009 soon, and the sooner it's settled, the better. Who knows, we might even be able to have a happy New Year. "
Li Dong smiled and stood up. "Then let's call it a day for the time being. As for the press conference, arrange it as you see fit. This afternoon or tomorrow is fine. Since we've cooperated and the board of directors has been reorganized, it's time to give everyone an explanation. "
Du Juan nodded. "Tomorrow, then. We have more time tomorrow."
"Alright."
Li Dong nodded and greeted the other shareholders, and everyone left the conference room.
As for Wang Yue and the others, they stayed behind.
The board of directors had just been reorganized, and they still had a lot of things to do.
…
Downstairs at Gome.
Liu Chuanzhi smiled. "Dongzi, I feel that the atmosphere is not quite right today. You let Wang Yue join Gome just for the position of Executive Vice President?"
Li Dong laughed and said, "Does Brother Liu have any other suggestions? I let Wang Yue come because Gome's online and offline operations are very important to the layout Far away, and I want to prevent any mistakes. When things are sorted out here, Wang Yue will naturally go back. "
Liu Chuanzhi looked at him deeply. After a while, he said, "Recently, an organization contacted me, hoping that the Association will sell its shares in Gome. Do you know about it?"
"There's such a thing?"
Li Dong was slightly surprised, and then he smiled. "It seems that my name, Li Dong, is quite valuable. Brother, don't sell it. It will be a loss. Although you don't have many shares, with me here, the shares may double in the future. The opportunity to make a lot of money is right in front of you. "
Liu Chuanzhi smiled and lowered his voice. "I'm serious. Don't talk nonsense with me. Your people?"
"Brother, what are you saying …"
Li Dong sighed. After a while, he said, "Of course, I won't stop you if you want to sell it. Anyway, I don't care about your shares."
"You!"
Liu Chuanzhi was not angry, but shocked. After a while, he said, "What do you want to do?"
Li Dong laughed. "I don't want to do anything. I'm a little worried about 8%. It's too little.
My ideal situation is to hold about 20% of the shares.
This way, I can attack and defend at will, and I will be more at ease to cooperate with Gome.
Otherwise, what if they kick me out in the later stages when the situation stabilizes?
I've forcefully taken away their online channel. No one will feel comfortable about it.
They might not be able to do anything now, but when they have a way and stabilize, will they still listen to me? "
Liu Chuanzhi thought for a while and said, "20% is not easy. Since you're telling me now, is there any other move? Among the major shareholders, some of them have sided with you? "
Li Dong laughed, attracting the attention of many shareholders who had just come down.
Liu Chuanzhi was speechless. "Just talk. Why are you laughing so loudly? Aren't you afraid of bird shit falling from the sky?"
Li Dong's laughter came to an abrupt stop. After a while, he said dryly, "Brother, you've learned to make sarcastic remarks?"
"I learned it from you. It's not a cold joke. It's meant to disgust you."
Liu Chuanzhi joked and said, "Looks like I'm right. Li Dong, your ambition has been exposed so quickly. Aren't you afraid that others will guard against you in the future?"
Li Dong knew he was talking about the Huang family. He laughed and said, "I don't have any other thoughts. 20% is actually within the safety line. What's there to worry about? If it were me, I wouldn't be worried at all. "
Liu Chuanzhi was speechless when he heard this.
After a while, Liu Chuanzhi said, "I don't have a lot of shares here. It's just 1%. If you want it, I can transfer it to you. Money is not a problem. You just have to advertise for us online. Also, we want to take back the mobile phone business. You have a lot of ideas. Help me think of some ideas to see how we can snatch the market. A little-known OPPO cell phone. Now, the second model of the cell phone had not even hit the market yet, but it was already so expensive that countless people were queuing up to buy it. If we knew this would happen, we wouldn't have to sell our mobile phone business. "
At the beginning of 2008, the Association's mobile phone business was not doing well, and they sold their mobile phone business.
Of course, they sold it to their own companies.
They took over a few companies, and the biggest company was controlled by the Association Holdings, but it was separated from the Association Group.
The Association Holdings is the holding company of the Association Group, and it separated the PC and mobile phone businesses into two subsidiaries.
It will be more troublesome to take it back.
At that time, Liu Chuanzhi did not expect Li Dong to know how to make mobile phones.
The most popular mobile phone this year is not Apple. Apple is popular overseas and has not entered China yet.
The one that was really popular was OPPO. Right now, advertisements were flying everywhere. Coupled with the continuous promotion from Distance, OPPO was almost becoming the spokesperson of domestic mobile phones.
Even Huawei is not as popular as OPPO.
Li Dong laughed. "Brother, I don't know how to make mobile phones. It's just marketing.
My focus is on the software and not the terminal.
The terminal is only valuable if the software is good.
If not, no matter how good your mobile phone is, it can only make calls and send text messages.
I will be happy to see the Association take back the mobile phone business, and you can help me to promote the software. Don't work with Old Ma. That guy is not reliable, and he plagiarizes my work.
The other thing is the shares. Since Big Brother is so polite, I will accept it.
Also, I'm afraid that there will be some twists and turns in Gome. Big Brother, you have to help me raise the profile. "
Yanagawa Zhi nodded. He knew what the twists and turns were.
No matter which major shareholder sided with Li Dong, Du Juan's voice will not be weak when it comes to the board of directors' resolutions.
Of course, if there are many people in favor, Du Juan will suppress her dissatisfaction. This is Li Dong's intention.
Liu Chuanzhi does not have a lot of shares, but his reputation in the industry is not weaker than Li Dong. If he supports Li Dong, the others will have to consider what to do.
But this will offend some people. Liu Chuanzhi thought for a while and said, "Dongzi, you should be careful now. Don't let others say that you are adding insult to injury."
If Old Huang is involved, Li Dong can bully others, and some people will be disgusted.
Li Dong naturally knew this. The smile on his face disappeared, and after a while, he said, "Sympathizing with the weak is the unanimous opinion of everyone. But since they are the weak, they should be prepared for the law of the jungle. If I, Li Dong, end up in this situation, it is normal, and I can't blame anyone. But I do not want to end up like this, so I need to strengthen myself. Brother, you will understand. "
Liu Chuanzhi sighed, nodded, and said nothing.
When the car arrived, Liu Chuanzhi said as he got in, "I forgot to tell you something. Liu Qin is back. Send the car you promised to my house. My eldest niece has been shouting for so long, don't be stingy. It's embarrassing. "
Li Dong's mouth twitched, and he said helplessly, "You really want it?"
"Of course. Why not?"
Old Liu said, and could not be bothered with him. He got in the car and left.
Just as Liu Chuanzhi left, Shen Xuehua walked over and said, "Want to eat at my place?"
Li Dong chuckled. "Auntie, I won't trouble you. I'll just get something to eat."
Shen Xuehua glanced at him, and said calmly, "I'm not the one cooking. What's the trouble?"
Li Dong was stunned for a moment, and he smiled bitterly. "That's true. But let's forget about it for the next two days. I still have something to do, so I won't trouble Uncle Du."
Shen Xuehua had already guessed it, and now that she heard Li Dong's words, she did not force him. She only reminded, "Do what you can. You can be considered successful in the business world now. If it's too troublesome, it's better to give up early. "
Li Dong smiled. "The opportunity is right in front of you. I can't bear to let it go if I don't grab it. Don't worry, I'll act according to the situation. "
"Okay, I'll be leaving first."
Shen Xuehua did not say anything else, and she also got in the car and left.
When everyone left, Li Dong got in the car, and Sun Tao followed. "Is it appropriate to hold a press conference tomorrow and submit the decision tomorrow?"
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. We'll take action after the press conference. Do you want to go against me in court right after the press conference? If you can seize the opportunity, don't let it go. It won't be easy to get them up first, and then get them down. When the time comes, they have to pinch their noses and accept it. Otherwise, their losses will be even greater. "
The reason why Li Dong kept mentioning the press conference was to put Gome in a difficult position.
The news spread, and the whole world knew that they were working together.
At this time, Du Juan suddenly went back on her words, and it would be a huge blow to Gome. When the time came, the trouble would be bigger than now.
In short, Li Dong had them in the bag.
This time, even Sun Tao could not bear it, and he said, "General Manager Li, I always feel that it's too much of a bully."
Li Dong glared at him and scolded, "Soft-hearted!
At this point, every step is important. Will I choose to give up just because the other party is a woman?
It's difficult for them, but it's also difficult for us!
We're all treading on thin ice, and whoever takes the wrong step will die!
Now that they've taken the wrong step, don't blame me for bullying them!
In the future, if I take the wrong step, no one will sympathize with me!
Put away your unreliable thoughts. Now that Wang Yue is gone, your task is more important. Don't talk to me about these useless things! "
Sun Tao sighed softly, nodded, and said no more.
