At the airport.
In addition to Shen Qian, Sun Tao, Qi Yunna, and a group of people also came.
Li Dong came to Capital. Whether it was for personal or business reasons, since he knew that the boss was coming, he definitely had to come to the airport to pick him up.
Shen Qian did not greet Li Dong. When she saw Li Chengyuan, his wife, and Tian Xiaoyu, she directly passed Li Dong and went to talk to the elderly and children.
Li Dong smiled and did not care. As he walked, he chatted with Sun Tao, "How's the situation at Gome?"
Sun Tao nodded and said, "It's still stable. The transition this time can be considered a smooth one. The Huang family did not create too many obstacles for us. Of course, the changes are too big. Even if the Huang family did not deliberately cause trouble for us, they will still turn a blind eye to some things. Some of the middle and upper echelons are more emotional. If the Huang family comes forward to comfort them, the effect may be better. But … "
Sun Tao shook his head. The Huang family did not cause trouble for them. How could there be so many good things in life if they came forward to comfort them?
Li Dong smiled and said, "This is very normal. Although the Huang family gave up on Gome for various reasons, they were still forced to give it up.
But in the end, they were still forced to give it up.
It's not possible to expect them to comfort people.
How about this, I probably don't have time today and tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, we will hold a management meeting backstage.
Starting from the various branch managers, those who can come will come in person. Those who can't come will have a video conference.
Although it's not good to make a big fuss at the end of the year.
But those who are not tactful and do not welcome us in Far away, get out of here as soon as possible.
If they don't give us a good New Year, we might as well not let them have a good New Year.
When it's time to punish the chicken to warn the monkey, we still have to cut the Gordian knot.
Also, take over the three big areas of finance, human resources, and channels quickly. Don't let some people think that the opportunity has come and do something at this time. We can't catch them. "
Sun Tao nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Got it. One more thing. Should the welfare in Gome be the same as in Far away?"
There were thousands of stores in Gome, and the number of employees was not small either. If the salespeople were included, it would be a large corporation with more than 100,000 people.
Far away's salary was considered high in the industry. Of course, it wasn't high by much.
On one hand, it was to reduce expenses, and on the other hand, it was to avoid the hostility of the entire industry.
So far away, the average wage was still about 5% higher than Gome's.
Far away, the average salary of employees at the bottom of the country was about 1500 per month.
Of course, the statistics bureau's report is not like this. According to the government, the average salary is 2500 RMB per month.
In fact, for retail companies, most of the employees were at the bottom level. At this time, 1,500 per person was not considered low. In fact, it was considered high. This was the average salary of employees across the country.
In some places, the salary was just over a thousand yuan.
In a year, the salary of 100,000 people was close to 2 billion. In fact, with social security and the like, it was even higher. The salary of the middle and upper management was not low either.
A company with 100,000 employees would spend at least 2.5 billion on salaries and benefits.
If it was raised by 5%, it would be over 100 million.
This was a big deal, so Sun Tao had to ask Li Dong.
When Carrefour was acquired, it was given the same treatment.
Li Dong thought for a moment, and said after a while, "The lowest level can be compared to Far away. These employees don't have a strong sense of belonging to the company, and they work for whoever pays them.
I won't touch the middle and upper management for now. Before I see enough performance, I won't use money to pave the way.
This acquisition of Gome cost a lot of money. I don't want the current Gome.
All these years, Gome's situation has not been good, and the key lies in the management.
The employees at the bottom have to listen to the management.
If one store manager can't do it, the entire store might have problems. If the store manager doesn't take responsibility, how can the ordinary employees take responsibility?
So, I have to take another look.
If necessary, I will implement a large-scale shift system!
Far Away's store manager and Gome's store manager will take turns. I want to see if it's a problem with the people, or with the company's system.
Gome needs a lot of new blood, and some of the benefits are not announced yet.
If you want to get good benefits, you have to show me your results. Otherwise, don't even think about it! "
Sun Tao said worriedly, "Will this force a large number of people to leave?"
Li Dong laughed and said, "Gome's benefits have been in place for so many years, and there have been no problems. If I continue to use it, they won't be able to take it? If they really can't take it, then get lost. At most, Gome will be paralyzed for a period of time. I can bear this loss! Take this opportunity to carry out a big reform, and maybe we can get a new lease of life. "
Sun Tao heard him say this and did not say anything else.
Qi Yunna, who was at the side, said, "Director Li, actually, I feel that the benefits and benefits are actually secondary.
At the current stage, Gome's employees are probably not thinking about this.
Most people actually want stability.
At this time, it's not difficult to calm people's hearts. I think changing the contract is enough.
In the past, the middle and upper management signed with Gome.
This time, we will renew the contract in the name of Far Away. This way, I think most people will feel at ease.
Even if some people are dissatisfied, it won't affect the overall situation. "
Li Dong looked at Sun Tao and said, "What do you think?"
Sun Tao thought for a while and said, "This is a solution, but if we change the contract before we have a clear understanding of the situation, then next …"
"First, we will renew a portion of the contracts. Pick the stores with good performance and regions. The middle and upper management of these places will be prioritized.
Regardless of whether they have problems, if they can produce results at this time, some small problems can be temporarily ignored.
As for the others, we will wait.
Oh right, the middle and upper management who change the Far Away contract can enjoy the benefits of Far Away. This also needs to be added.
Roping in the majority of people and eliminating a small number of people. This is my goal.
A company with more than 100,000 people has thousands of management staff. It's impossible to kick all of them away. That would really be a mess. The turnover rate has to be controlled below 10%.
All in all, during this period, all of you have to be more attentive.
If you can appease them, then appease them. If you can't appease them, don't be too anxious for the time being. During the company's transition period, there will be all kinds of problems.
When we took over Carrefour, there were a lot of problems. After half a year, it's much more stable now.
People are forgetful. Old Huang is not their parents. After half a year, who will remember that their big boss has changed? "
Sun Tao laughed, but Qi Yunna smiled and said, "Others will forget, but the people Far Away will not. No one will forget you, General Manager Li."
Li Dong shook his head and said, "I won't accept this flattery.
Now, this is what you think. After a few years, I will gradually fade away. When that time comes, I'm afraid not many people will remember me, Li Dong.
This is very normal. I don't expect everyone to remember me for a lifetime.
Far Away has hundreds of thousands of employees. It's impossible to expect everyone to be grateful to me.
They provide labor, and I provide money. This is an equivalent exchange.
As long as I can afford to pay them, they will continue to serve me.
If I can't pay them, they will turn around and leave. That's right. "
Qi Yunna wanted to say more, but Li Dong smiled and waved his hand. "Alright, let's not dwell on this topic. Yunna, you can't represent everyone.
Also, you don't have to worry about Gome's matter.
I asked you to go last time, but you didn't go. Now, you put aside Faraway Supermarket's matter to worry about Gome's side. If Far Away's performance drops, see how I will settle the score with you!
Don't get left behind by Chen Ying in Shanghai.
In 2008, Shanghai's revenue was 8.9 billion, almost reaching 9 billion.
Not to mention North China, just Beijing's revenue is not as much as Shanghai's. The difference between the two stores is not big, but how much is Beijing's total revenue?
The entire North China region's revenue is less than 15 billion.
Of course, there are various factors that affect it … "
When Li Dong said this, Sun Tao felt wronged for Qi Yunna.
After listening for a while, Sun Tao did not know whether to laugh or cry. "General Manager Li, the last time you came to Beijing, you gave CEO Qi a task of 10 billion in North China. Now, CEO Qi has exceeded the quota. It's not appropriate for you to blame her for this. The situation in Shanghai is different. There are more hypermarkets. In addition, Carrefour's headquarters is there, and we already have a foundation there. To be able to get 9 billion in performance, although CEO Chen's contribution cannot go unnoticed, CEO Qi's contribution cannot be denied. "
Li Dong glanced at him. After a while, he said, "I'm just saying. Brother Sun, let me remind you that Yunna is a married woman. Don't have any ideas about her!"
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Sun Tao almost choked to death. Qi Yunna blushed and said helplessly, "General Manager Li, let's talk business."
Li Dong laughed. "Let's talk business. I just want to remind CEO Sun. You're almost 40 years old, and you're still single. What are you trying to do? Find a wife and get married early. You don't even have a family. You're not mature at all … "
Sun Tao was speechless. Now that you're getting married, you're looking down on me?
After Li Dong said a few words, Sun Tao coughed lightly. "That, don't worry about this. Who knows, I might get married sooner than you."
Li Dong was stunned. Then, he said with a face full of surprise, "You've found a partner?"
Sun Tao laughed. "It's a secret. You'll know when the time comes."
"Alright, I won't ask anymore. If you really want to find a partner, do it early. If you don't have the time, I'll give you a long vacation. You've been running around with me for five years. In the blink of an eye, you've become an old leftover man. I don't feel good about it. Back then, Wang Yue didn't like you. I couldn't do anything about it. Otherwise, you should have gotten married … "
"General Manager Li!"
Sun Tao's face was full of black lines. He couldn't help but remind him. Qi Yunna was still there, and there were staff beside her!
Was it really good for you to gossip about the two vice presidents of the group?
Li Dong suddenly laughed. Qi Yunna and the others held back their laughter and didn't interrupt.
At this time, Li Dong turned his head and said, "Dad, Mom, let's go to the hotel first. In the evening, we'll ask Uncle Du and Auntie Shen out for dinner. Of course, we can go to Qianqian's house. But the atmosphere there is a bit serious. I'm afraid you won't be used to it … "
Before Li Dong finished speaking, Li Chengyuan hurriedly said, "We can go to the hotel for dinner, but we have to go to Secretary Du's place first. At about 5: 30 in the afternoon, let's go over and chat for a while before going to eat. "
Li Dong was stunned for a moment. It was so precise, right down to the time. So particular?
However, his father was obviously prepared. Li Dong didn't say anything else. He nodded and said, "Alright, Qianqian, ask Uncle Du and Auntie Shen … Is it convenient at that time?"
Shen Qian smiled and said, "My parents are at home today, so I can go anytime."
"That's good."
Li Dong didn't ask again. He got into the car with the old man and the child.
Seeing that Sun Tao and Qi Yunna were still there, Li Dong stuck his head out and said, "Go and do your own things. Just leave the car and driver for me. I won't be going to the company for the next two days. As for Gome, Brother Sun, you and Wang Yue can handle it. If there are any problems that can't be solved, give me a call. The management meeting the day after tomorrow has been decided. Inform Bai Su of the time. I will go and attend it. "
Sun Tao nodded and said with a smile, "General Manager Li, go and do your own things. Your important matters are more important than the company's matters. I wish you and CEO Shen the best in advance."
They chatted for a while more before Li Dong's car slowly left.
After they left, Qi Yunna sighed and said, "In the blink of an eye, General Manager Li is also going to get married. Thinking back, it's still fresh in my mind. At that time, General Manager Li was still a high school student. "
Far away, when the branch was first opened, Li Dong had just graduated from high school. It was fine to say that he was a high school student.
Qi Yunna sighed, but Sun Tao shook his head and said, "His high school student is not accurate. I haven't seen him go to school for more than a few days.
Some people can't be judged by their age.
It's not an exaggeration to say that he's born with knowledge.
When I was 18, I was timid when I went to the county capital. I didn't even dare to speak when I saw people.
When he was 18, he started looking for headhunters to poach people. He wandered alone in the provincial capital. I can't compare.
Sometimes, I feel that I'm even more childish than him. My age should be reversed. "
Qi Yunna couldn't help but laugh and said, "CEO Sun, don't belittle yourself. Everyone in the company knows that you are the most stable person in our company."
"I can be stable, but that's because I was forced to," Sun Tao said helplessly, "In the beginning, you didn't know that I was more anxious than General Manager Li. He was much more stable than me. But who knew that not long after, he would be more anxious than me. At that time, I couldn't be stable. I was always on tenterhooks. I almost couldn't sleep, afraid that one day, the company would be destroyed by him. But later, when the company became bigger and bigger, I realized that although he looked anxious, his heart was stable. But on my side, I was afraid of being tortured by him. Even if I'm not stable, I have to be stable. "
Qi Yunna couldn't help but laugh. The two of them chatted for a while before going their separate ways.
…
At the same time.
In the car.
Li Dong smiled and said, "I didn't expect Brother Sun to be in a relationship without saying a word. He's even prepared to get married. In the blink of an eye, five years have passed. Five years. So much has changed."
When Shen Qian heard that, she chuckled and said, "That's normal. Big Brother Sun isn't young anymore. If he hadn't been too busy Far away these few years, I'm afraid he would have gotten married long ago."
As the two of them spoke, Cao Fang, who was at the side, said with a vigilant look, "Don't learn from him. If you want to get married, do it early. Your dad and I have already chosen the date. We're just waiting to discuss it with Qianqian's parents. "
Li Chengyuan nodded and said, "Yes, it should be done early. Your mom and I know that Sun Tao from just now. We've met his parents. They're almost seventy years old, but they don't even have a grandson. We feel bitterly disappointed just looking at them. Dongzi, you and Qianqian mustn't learn from him. "
At that moment, Sun Tao suddenly became a heinous negative example. Li Dong and Shen Qian looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
