Far Away Building.
Li Dong scolded, "Are you still human? Asking me for money at this time, where is your conscience? Last time, you said that the 3 billion was to support me, and I could return the money at any time. No one else said anything, only you. I'm in such a difficult situation now, and I've even given you the shares of Far Away Retail. I'm not letting you down, right? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to sleep well at night if you ask me for money? "
Hsu Shengzhe: "…"
"Don't talk nonsense. I don't have money. If it really doesn't work, I'll mortgage Far Away Plaza to you. I'll give you the rent every year and slowly repay the debt. Of course, if you really want it, you're heartless. I'm just saying. Don't take it. "
"…"
Hsu Shengzhe cursed a few times on the other end of the line, then hung up.
Those who owed money now were the bosses. If he lent money to Li Dong next time, he would be really stupid!
…
Li Dong hung up the phone and said calmly, "Old Yuan, you don't have to come downstairs to pick me up next time. What's the matter? Is there nothing else in the company?"
Yuan Chengdao's face was a little stiff. He had not recovered from Li Dong's words just now.
Hsu Shengzhe should be stomping his feet and cursing now that he was in debt.
Yuan Chengdao calmed himself down and exhaled, then replied, "General Manager Li, I happen to have something to discuss with you. I knew you were back, so I couldn't wait."
"What's so urgent?"
Li Dong looked around as he walked, then said, "What's the matter? Is everyone still on holiday?"
"There are more things to do this year, so the official holiday is tomorrow. But everyone is volunteering. Those who stayed to work overtime were all given subsidies."
Yuan Chengdao replied, then changed the topic. "You weren't around these few days, and Chief Chen and the rest are back. Chief Chen and Chief Tan have looked for me a few times. They have some ideas, and it's not easy for me to handle it. They want to ask for your opinion."
"Chen Lang is back. Has the buyback been settled?"
Yuan Chengdao was helpless. I'm talking about serious matters. Can you stop interrupting me?
However, since Li Dong asked, Yuan Chengdao could only say, "The buyback has been completed."
Li Dong nodded and said, "That's good. Right, what did they say?"
Yuan Chengdao hastily said, "President Chen and President Tan suggested that we relocate the retail group's headquarters!"
Li Dong stopped in his tracks and turned around. "What?"
Yuan Chengdao explained, "Far away Retail is getting bigger and bigger, especially after the acquisition of Gome. Once Gome enters the Far away Retail system, the scale of Far Away Retail will be huge!
If we continue to stay in Jiangbei, it will be detrimental to our development.
What Chief Chen meant was that it was best for them to move now.
There were three choices: Shanghai, Beijing, and Xiangjiang.
"If Far Away Retail is going to be listed in Xiangjiang, it's best to move to Xiangjiang now. It will be very helpful for us to be listed in the future.
"There are also many benefits to moving to Beijing.
On one hand, we can continue to increase our influence, and on the other hand, it will be easier to integrate with Gome.
It's the same in Shanghai. Carrefour's headquarters is in Shanghai, and so is Euphoria's. Moving here can also help us speed up the integration of Carrefour and Euphoria.
As for Jiangbei, it's still too restrictive … "
Li Dong frowned and said, "Why did you suddenly have this idea to move now?"
Yuan Chengdao said helplessly, "President Chen and President Tan have no choice. If their headquarters are to stay in Jiangbei, their control over the entire retail system will gradually decline. There are some things that can't be reacted faster in Jiangbei. In fact, they are more inclined to move to Shanghai. This way, it will be very helpful for the plan to go south. In addition, we can also build a faster response mechanism if we are in the same place as Bailian. Now, our biggest competitor in department stores is Bailian … "
"But Suning is still in Jinling, and they are not a match for us?"
Li Dong shook his head and said, "We can't move now. Even if we want to move, it's not now.
Jiangbei is the base that we have established. Shanghai and Beijing are other people's territories.
If we go there and something happens, the government will not help us.
At this time, we still need the strong support of the government, and we can't get away from it.
If we go to Shanghai and Beijing, will it be better than now?
Also, we can't go to Beijing. If we go there, I'll be waiting to be besieged. Not only can Mayor Du not help us, but he also has to help others.
This matter will be put aside for now. "
Yuan Chengdao wanted to say something, but he finally nodded.
In fact, according to him, it was already the right time to move.
No matter which of the three places they went, it was better than Jiangbei.
Besides, it was not the group's headquarters that was moving, but the retail group's headquarters.
But Li Dong was not willing, and there was nothing he could do.
…
When Dong Xuebing reached the office, the others came to report.
Li Dong chatted for a while, and when almost everyone arrived, he asked, "Have you decided on the date of the annual meeting?"
Yuan Chengdao said casually, "February 14th."
Li Dong glanced at him and said after a while, "Your idea?"
Yuan Chengdao was puzzled. What's wrong?
It's just the date of the annual meeting, and as a CEO, I don't have this right?
Just when he was puzzled, Li Dong laughed and said, "CEO Yuan, you have been single for a long time, and it seems that you are jealous. You don't even want to celebrate Valentine's Day. But forget it. If it's decided, then so be it. You should find a woman, and you won't set the date on February 14th in the future. "
Yuan Chengdao was dumbfounded. Is that what I meant?
I just think that day is suitable. How did it become jealousy?
But then again, if Li Dong did not mention it, he would not have realized this problem. No wonder many people looked at him strangely when the date was set.
Yuan Chengdao did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said helplessly, "Why don't we change the date?"
"There's no need. Let's do it on that day. But we can add a new rule. We can bring our family members to attend. To be honest, everyone has worked hard for several years, and it's not easy. So far, we have such glory now, and the family members of the employees have contributed a lot. They will also get half of the military medals. "
After Li Dong finished speaking, Wu Shengnan added, "General Manager Li, if that's the case, the scale of this annual meeting will be too big! Previously, you said that everyone who can come will come. Including Gome's side, I'm afraid there will be more than 50,000 people participating this time! Including their family members, the number of people who will come may exceed 100,000 in the end! "
Yuan Chengdao also said, "With such a big scale, there's no place to hold it. And there are so many people … "
Li Dong smiled and said, "The Pingchuan Sports Center should be fine, right?
I remember last year, didn't we hold a large-scale concert for 50,000 people?
The main stadium can easily accommodate 50,000 people. Including the ancillary buildings and the periphery, it should be possible to accommodate 100,000 people.
This time, I've said that we want to hold a big one.
So far, 2008 was a year where we soared. How can we not create an atmosphere for it?
So far, we'll broadcast it live. This time, we'll let outsiders watch our annual meeting. We'll be able to scare them to death. "
Everyone looked at each other. After a while, someone said, "An annual meeting of this scale is not easy to prepare …"
"That's your task. Inform the Pingchuan government that I'm here to help them generate revenue. Do them a favor. I'll send them a silk banner later."
Everyone did not know whether to laugh or cry. Was this a matter of the silk banner?
An annual meeting of 100,000 people? Just the security work alone would be enough to annoy the Pingchuan government to death.
Far away, such a large-scale annual meeting would cost a lot of money.
The company's funds were already stretched to begin with, but Li Dong insisted on holding such a large-scale event. Did he really think that it was free?
They had no choice but to meet a boss who cared about his reputation.
Just as everyone was feeling helpless, Li Dong said, "This time, invite more people from the business world, especially those in the retail industry. Let's celebrate together."
Yuan Chengdao and the rest frowned and looked at Li Dong. What's wrong? Are you trying to stir up trouble?
Li Dong saw them looking at him and said angrily, "What are you looking at me for? Let's build a foundation for the retail alliance and intimidate them. Let them know that if they don't agree, I'll drown them with the spit of 100,000 people!"
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Everyone could not help but cough. Only you can do this.
It's hard to say whether it will intimidate them or not. So far away organizing an annual meeting of 100,000 people might really have some effect.
Furthermore, even without this purpose, annual meetings were also a way to win over the hearts of the people and strengthen the cohesion of the company.
This year, Gome and Carrefour had just entered the industry. The hearts of the people were not very stable.
At this time, holding a large-scale annual meeting might be more effective than the usual publicity.
The pride of the company was also the easiest to show at this time.
Yuan Chengdao thought for a while and nodded. "Then I'll get people to prepare immediately. There's not much time left. We have to prepare as soon as possible."
Li Dong nodded and said, "Everyone has worked hard this year. It's almost the Lunar New Year, and it's not easy for all of you. General Manager Yuan and I will be responsible for the company's shift this year. He is a bachelor and does not need to accompany his wife. As for me, Shen Qian is not around, and I don't have anything to do. All of you have families to take care of. Go back tomorrow and celebrate the Lunar New Year. "
Yuan Chengdao laughed. "General Manager Li, are you discriminating against a bachelor like me? Isn't General Manager Sun also single? Why do you only want to catch me?"
"Old Man Sun is in a relationship and is getting married soon. How can I do such an inhumane thing? Wang Yue can't make it back. If not, I will catch her too. Don't talk nonsense. It's just the two of us. You come tomorrow and the day after. I'll come on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. After that, we'll each have two days. We'll officially start work. "
Faraway Group could not rest even during the Lunar New Year.
Especially in the area of the Internet, they had to operate even during the Lunar New Year. They could not do without people.
Without someone in charge, it was easy for something to go wrong.
Yuan Chengdao smiled and said, "Don't. I'll come on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. You can spend the Lunar New Year with Uncle and Auntie. I don't have much to do here anyway."
As the two were talking, Wu Shengnan smiled and said, "Don't be sexist. Count me in."
As soon as this was said, Li Dong suddenly reacted and said in surprise, "I almost forgot. You are also single. Speaking of which, you are not young anymore. Why are you still single?"
"…"
Everyone in the office was holding back their laughter. It was almost the Lunar New Year, and everyone's mood was a lot more relaxed.
Normally, even if Li Dong liked to joke, he was still very serious at work.
Although Li Dong was young, in the eyes of the group's senior management, Li Dong's deterrence was absolutely terrifying.
So far this year, everyone, including Li Dong, was in a good mood. Everyone wanted to take advantage of the Lunar New Year to relax and relieve their stress.
After chatting for a while, they set the shift time. Li Dong looked at the time and said, "That's it then.
I'll be on duty on New Year's Eve, so I can't go anywhere else. I'll visit the headquarters and Pingchuan Convenience Store.
When you go back, keep your phones turned on and have a good Lunar New Year.
I wish everyone a happy Lunar New Year in advance. In addition, CEO Yuan and Shengnan will strive to be single next year. If that doesn't work, they can make do and spend the days together.
I'm not worried about the group now. I'm worried about your personal affairs.
I'm really worried about a group of old leftover men and women.
The group's board of directors was shocked when they counted.
Previously, Brother Sun, Liu Hong, Old Yuan, Shengnan, Liu Qi, me, and Shen Qian. Tsk tsk, more than half of them are single.
Now, only you, Shengnan, and Wang Yue are left. Work harder. Otherwise, we'll catch you next year. "
Everyone laughed again. Yuan Chengdao and Wu Shengnan looked helpless and did not take it seriously.
Although the two of them were single, the possibility of them getting together was not high.
Just like Sun Tao and Wang Yue, as the group's top executives, from the group's perspective, it was not suitable for them to get together.
If they really got together, it would be a huge obstacle to their future.
After chatting for a while, everyone dispersed.
Li Dong also packed up and prepared to go home.
At the end of the year, he did not have much mood to work. In addition, the important matters were almost settled, so it was more appropriate for him to go back and rest early.
However, before he could go out, Yuan Chengdao turned back and thought for a while before saying, "General Manager Li, about the logistics group …"
Qin Hai did not attend today's work report.
Most of the group's executives knew that Qin Hai was about to leave. No one was surprised that he did not attend.
However, the logistics group was not a small matter. Although Yuan Chengdao did not want to mention it, he could not help but mention it.
Li Dong stopped in his tracks, and his expression changed. After a while, he said, "CEO Qin knows more about logistics. Did CEO Qin mention to you who will take over? "
Yuan Chengdao shook his head and said, "I did ask, but you know CEO Qin's personality. He is a man of few words. He said that since he was leaving, he would not recommend a candidate, in case …"
Without needing him to continue, Li Dong knew what he meant.
Since Qin Hai wanted to leave, then he should leave in a straightforward manner and leave without any worries.
In addition to some other factors, he also did not want to recommend a candidate, in case he continued to affect the logistics group's stance.
Li Dong understood Qin Hai's choice. He sighed softly and said, "How about this, let's put this matter aside first. CEO Qin should be in Pingchuan now, right?"
"Yes, he went to inspect the logistics park …"
"Then I'll go take a look tonight and ask for his opinion."
When Li Dong said this, he was a little conflicted and hesitant.
He knew that Qin Yuhan was back. With her bodyguards following her, he would definitely know.
He did not know if going to the Qin family at this time was for Qin Hai or for Qin Yuhan.
However, Li Dong still wanted to go take a look. No matter what, some things had to be faced.
As for whether he would be beaten out by Yang Yun, Li Dong still had doubts. The possibility was still very high, and it was best to take some precautions at night.
Yuan Chengdao could not understand Li Dong's thoughts.
However, looking at his valiant and heroic attitude, Yuan Chengdao could not help but secretly shake his head.
This boss of his was top-notch in all aspects.
It was the matters of the heart that made people sigh. Indeed, even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman.
It seemed like he had to take care of himself in the future, in case he walked the same path as Li Dong.
