At the mention of the Far away City project, Wu Shengnan suddenly perked up and immediately complained, "General Manager Li, you're too biased!
Every time there's a big project, the first thing you consider is retail.
Then logistics and Far away Technology. Only Dong Yu Real Estate has never been in the group's first consideration.
Several mergers and acquisitions were all blood transfusions by the real estate group.
The last acquisition of Carrefour was like that. This time, it took all of Dong Yu Real Estate's funds.
I heard that after the loan from CCB, you have to give priority to Gome's acquisition.
In this way, our Far Away City has become the biggest joke and Hua Xia's biggest unfinished project! "
As soon as Wu Shengnan finished speaking, on the retail side, because Sun Tao and Chen Lang were not there, Tan Haiying said calmly, "CEO Wu, what you said is biased. Let's not talk about anything else. In August, General Manager Li wanted to build a 100 billion Far Away City project. The group is desperately transfusing blood into Dong Yu Real Estate. In the past few years, Dong Yu Real Estate hasn't made much progress. Now it's hoarding tens of millions of square meters of land. Isn't it for the group's blood transfusion? "
"CEO Tan, it's not interesting to say that. Dong Yu Real Estate hasn't made much progress?
Not to mention the few communities developed in Pingchuan, Dong Yu Real Estate has earned tens of billions just from the transfer of land.
I'm not belittling the retail side. In the past few years, the group's center has been on the retail side.
The mergers and acquisitions and investments have cost at least 100 billion, right?
In the end, the investment is so big, but the return seems to be average. The only advantage is probably the cash flow advantage.
This is fine in the early stages, but in the later stages, the so-called cash flow advantage is insignificant. "
As Wu Shengnan retorted, Tan Haiying once again diverted the blame. "According to CEO Wu, Far Away's retail is dispensable. Then, there's no need for Far Away's logistics to exist, right?"
Qin Hai, who had never spoken much, saw the two of them diverting his attention. He looked up and did not say anything in the end.
It was really boring to argue with two women in front of so many subordinates.
Those who were of a lower level than the two couldn't interrupt, and those who were of a similar level couldn't be bothered to.
In the end, they looked at each other and then at Li Dong in unison.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Li Dong was speechless. "Don't look at me, just continue complaining. Today, I'm holding a celebration party. Those who don't know might think that it's a meeting to complain! "
As he spoke, Li Dong looked around. His expression turned serious as he slowly said, "Speaking of which, even if we count from the first Dong Ping shop until now, it hasn't even been five years.
At the end of May 2004, Far away, only Director Sun and I were there. That was when we got the business license.
It was only January 2009, four months away from the fifth anniversary.
This is based on the Dongping store. If we calculate according to the time when the group was established, we only established the Faraway Group in August 2006.
At that time, Far away Logistics had just been established, and Far away Technology was not called Far away Technology, but Far away Network. It had just been established not long ago.
When the group was established, many people who were present still remembered it vividly. After more than two years, I'm sure many people didn't forget what Far away was like back then.
The newly established Faraway Group had total assets of less than ten billion, and its influence was limited to Jiangbei.
But now!
Now, only two years have passed, and we have everything.
We have our own complete logistics system, a shopping mall system that covers Hua Xia, physical stores all over the country, and we are about to build a batch of top urban complexes in Hua Xia!
There will always be difficulties.
Because our foundation is not as good as others, and our time to settle is too short.
Because of this, we have to work hard to catch up, and we can't relax for even a moment. That's why we have to put in more effort to compete with those companies that have been established for ten or twenty years, or even older! "
Speaking up to this point, Li Dong drank a cup of tea and continued, "After saying so much, I want to tell everyone that difficulties can be overcome.
We didn't have this condition back then, but we still came, let alone now.
At last year's annual meeting, I seem to have mentioned six goals, right?
At that time, everyone must have laughed at me in their hearts, saying that our General Manager Li was too good at bragging.
First in the supermarket!
First in the shopping mall!
Invest in ten Far away cities, be in the top five in logistics, build a hundred billion group, and the last one was that I want to be the richest man!
"Now that a year has passed, do you all look back at it?
Which of the six goals did I not achieve?
Far away at that time, did you all think that there would be a situation like this?
At that time, not to mention the revenue of 200 billion, even 100 billion, everyone's heart was trembling, right?
At that time, did we have money in our hands?
No money!
To put it bluntly, although CEO Sun and I were nominal shareholders of Far away, we were actually poor. Except for the dividends in the first year, we hadn't received any dividends for many years.
However, was this important?
The poor had their own ways of living, and the rich had their own ways of living.
Holding a year-end summary meeting to talk about last year's glory and results, but you all are sincere. Why are you complaining at this time? Are you trying to force me?
If there are difficulties, solve them yourself. If you can't solve them, then report to the higher-ups to solve them. If it really comes to a critical moment, then come to me!
What a ruckus! Are you playing around? "
As soon as this was said, the large conference room instantly fell silent.
Wu Shengnan and Tan Haiying also did not dare to say anything. When Yuan Chengdao saw this, he smiled and said, "General Manager Li, CEO Wu and CEO Tan are just impatient. Let's continue the meeting."
Li Dong shook his head and sighed. "I'm not angry because of them. At this point, there are some things that I want to say a few more words about.
All these years, everyone has followed me, Li Dong. When something happens, they will only think of me, Li Dong.
This is a good thing. At least in everyone's eyes, I am a capable person who can solve any problem.
However, I can still manage a billion-dollar or ten-billion-dollar corporation by myself.
So far away, it has already reached the hundred-billion-dollar level and is even moving towards the trillion-dollar level. Can I, Li Dong, manage such a super corporation by myself?
Every time something happens, everyone thinks of me first and wants to complain to me. In fact, I am also willing to listen and solve it.
However, I am a human after all, not a god. It is impossible for me to take care of everyone and solve any problem.
According to my original intention for today's meeting, a few simple words about the results would be enough.
However, since it has come to this, I will say a few more words.
Next, the corporation should add three to five vice presidents. In the future, CEO Yuan and a few vice presidents will form the strategic executive committee.
The company's affairs will be handled by themselves, and the major matters will be decided by the executive committee.
The board of directors will convene once a month to discuss matters that the executive committee cannot decide. Does anyone have any objections? "
When Li Dong asked this, no one raised any objections.
So far away was such a big corporation, but there were only two vice presidents. This was not right.
Moreover, Wang Yue had gone to Gome, and Sun Tao was also wrapping things up in Beijing. The entire corporation only had Yuan Chengdao as the CEO. This was even more strange.
Adding three to five vice presidents was not considered a lot. Some companies were much smaller than So far away and had dozens of vice presidents.
The establishment of the executive committee also meant that Li Dong had once again delegated some of his authority to the CEO to make decisions.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could feel that since the second half of 2008, Li Dong had already started to gradually delegate his authority.
Yuan Chengdao, the previously inconspicuous CEO, was now wielding more and more authority.
Of course, the major matters could not be bypassed from Li Dong. However, these actions of Li Dong were enough to show one thing. He would no longer handle small and big matters at the same time.
The strategic execution was handed over to the CEO and vice presidents. In the future, Li Dong would probably be doing more strategic decisions.
Seeing that everyone had agreed, Li Dong continued, "As for the candidates for the vice presidents, my suggestion is to promote them from within as much as possible. Today, everyone here is level 7 and above management. If you have any ideas, you can wait for the corporation's document. As for the candidates for the Vice President positions, my general opinion is that they should compete for the positions. All management personnel above the 7th grade can apply. Of course, if you do not meet my requirements, we may bring in external talents. When that time comes, don't say that the corporation did not give you a chance! "
Many people were tempted when they heard this.
So far away was divided into 10 levels. Level 10 was Yuan Chengdao's position. Level 9 was for the vice presidents and the chairman of the subsidiary corporations.
Level 8 included the head of the headquarters' department and the vice presidents of subsidiary corporations.
Level 7 meant that the lowest level was the CEO of a subsidiary corporation.
However, even the level 8 management was far from the group's vice presidents. In terms of salary, the current two vice presidents were worth more than 10 million.
As for the level 8 management, it was usually worth millions. This difference was huge.
Once he was promoted this time, his salary alone would increase exponentially, not to mention everything else.
Although everyone was tempted, they knew that things were not that simple.
Not to mention the hundreds of people who were level 7 and above, even the external ones, once they knew that So far away had a vice president, there would be no lack of people recommending themselves.
So far away today was not the Far away of the past.
Its attraction to the elites was increasing day by day. Back then, there were people who did not care about So far away. Now, even the executives of the Fortune 500 companies would not be indifferent to the olive branch So far away.
Li Dong did not wait for everyone to digest this news. He continued, "These are all other matters. When the corporation's document comes, everyone can think about it.
Today, the main purpose is to talk about the 2009 development plan.
Of course, a plan is a plan. It is not the same as before.
There were many unexpected factors in the 2008 plan.
These are not important. The key is that everyone has a goal and a direction to work towards.
In the past five years, we were talking about money and scale.
This year, I will not talk about money or scale. At this time, it is meaningless to talk about these.
In 2009, our biggest task is to cultivate our internal energy. Everyone should understand this point.
So far away, there were too many mergers and acquisitions of retail companies. This caused our corporate culture to be messy. Everyone does not have a sense of belonging and identity. What we need to do next is to gather everyone together.
There will be no more people from Carrefour, no more people from Era, and no more people from Gome. There will only be people from So far away!
It is the same for logistics. We are building storage centers and delivery points everywhere. Many of the delivery points' employees might not be from So far away.
In 2009, logistics also needs to digest the results.
As for Dong Yu Real Estate, they have more than 10 million square meters of land. The development area is less than 10%. Dong Yu's goal is not to speculate on land. They still need to get down to business.
Lastly, So far away technology. Now that the era of the mobile internet is here, it is also our opportunity.
In the past, we were lagging behind others in the PC market. Now, there will be a change.
Don't think that our mall's performance is higher than Taobao's. However, everyone knows how much is higher and how much is due to our activities.
With such a small gap, it is not surprising that Taobao will surpass us in the mobile market.
"There is also PP and Tencent. In the past, we could not snatch away their users in the PC market.
But when it comes to the mobile market, it is hard to say.
In 2009, the goal of the other three companies is to cultivate internal energy. So far away technology is the opposite. They want to build external energy and be prepared for war … "
…
The meeting lasted for a long time.
Although Li Dong did not make any specific arrangements, this was the general direction.
Other than So far away technology, the other industries are consolidating their territory and will not expand in the short term.
So far away is not able to cope with the repeated mergers and acquisitions. In addition, they are unable to digest it and form a fighting force. It is time for them to slow down.
After the meeting ended, before Li Dong could leave, Liu Hong and Qin Hai stepped forward at the same time.
Qin Hai saw that Liu Hong was about to speak. He looked at Li Dong and pointed outside before leaving the meeting room.
Liu Hong did not mind. After Qin Hai left, he immediately said, "General Manager Li, are you busy now? If you have time, I would like to invite you to visit So far away technology. The Red Envelope System has been in development for half a year. The current smartphones and our database can handle less than 10 million calculations. It is almost Chinese New Year, and we would like to ask when the Red Envelope System will be released. "
When Li Dong heard that, he said, "Have you tested it?"
Liu Hong nodded and said, "We have tested it on the OL01 model, and the results are good. But we cannot do it too frequently, or else it will lag easily. This is not only related to our servers and the speed of our data processing. The key is the network layout of the operators. "
Li Dong looked at the time and said, "How about this? It is almost lunchtime now. I will go and take a look in the afternoon. As for when we will release it, we will talk about it after I finish looking through it. But it is already the 15th of the twelfth lunar month, and we should start promoting it. No matter what, we must officially release it before Chinese New Year. Since everyone has some money at the end of the year, help us promote Wan Toon. "
So far away's industries are using Wan Toon for payments. To promote the Red Envelope System, they will naturally promote Wan Toon. There is no difference between the two.
Liu Hong nodded and did not disturb Li Dong.
Li Dong looked at the time again and hurried out of the meeting room.
Qin Hai, who used to be known as his father-in-law, has been quiet recently.
In addition, there are rumors on the internet that Li Dong is getting married soon. Some things must be made clear.
