At the sports center.
As Li Dong took his seat and the host appeared, the venue gradually quietened down.
However, when the host appeared, many people began to cheer again.
This was different from previous years. Far away's annual party in the past would at most invite local hosts to host.
This year, there were as many as six hosts. Some of them were well-known entertainment hosts in the country. In addition to the professional hosts, there were also a few popular stars in 2008.
These currently popular celebrities were at the peak of their popularity at this moment.
As soon as they appeared, the entire venue was filled with screams.
Far away's employees were still fine. Although many of them were quite excited, they could still control themselves with the big boss around.
However, this year, half of them were family members.
Some of them even brought their families. Some young men and women, seeing their favorite stars appear, were almost excited to the point of rioting.
At this time, their fathers or mothers would reservedly say, "What's there to be excited about? They're all artists from East Star Entertainment. They're considered our colleagues. If you like them, I'll get an autograph for you later. "
As soon as this was said, many rebellious children instantly became obedient.
As for the parents, even if they knew that it was not easy to get an autograph, they were still in a good mood.
Look, this was Far away!
The stars that were praised to the skies by outsiders were just like them. Far away was also an ordinary member.
In the eyes of ordinary people, stars were unattainable. To be able to stand side by side with them was enough to make many people feel proud.
As for the commotion below the stage, these hosts were already used to it.
A few hosts, with great enthusiasm, began the opening remarks of Far away's annual party.
Far away's annual party was actually the sixth annual party held in 2009.
Since 2004, Far away would hold an annual party every year around the Spring Festival.
However, in 2004, it might not even be considered an annual party. A few branch managers and supervisors gathered together to discuss the bonus. That was considered an annual party.
It was not until 2005, when Far away gradually became bigger and bigger, that the annual party officially took shape.
And this year, it was also a milestone. Far away's fifth year!
Five years, in many cases, was a dividing point.
A company that had been established for five years was not considered new.
Even the government used five years as the standard. Five years was a cycle and five years was a big plan.
So far away, he had passed the first five years with remarkable achievements.
The hosts on the stage were talking about the five years So far away. Below the stage, the person in charge of this annual meeting, Liu Qi, bent down and quietly walked up to Li Dong. She said, "General Manager Li, later on, the opening speech, would you like to go up and say a few words?"
"Me?"
Li Dong asked in surprise, "Isn't CEO Sun going up to give a speech?"
Liu Qi said with a bitter face, "Director Sun suddenly became nervous. He said there were 100,000 viewers, and with the live broadcast, he was so nervous that he couldn't speak. Director Yuan was still entertaining the guests, so he didn't prepare anything. He was afraid that he might say something wrong and cause a negative impact. Only you can do this for me. "
Li Dong cursed inwardly and said speechlessly, "How dare you? There are only 100,000 people and you're already afraid? No matter what, he's still the vice president of the group. How can he be so useless! "
Liu Qi smiled bitterly and said, "General Manager Li, you really can't blame CEO Sun. To be honest, 100,000 people is nothing. I didn't think too much about it when I was below the stage.
But when I was preparing, I stood up on the stage and my legs turned to jelly.
It's too stressful to give a speech in such a large venue.
Our company doesn't have this kind of experience, so it's inevitable that we'll be nervous for the first time.
General Manager Li, for the sake of the company's image, please go up and say a few words.
Once you go up on stage, no one will care about what you say. "
Li Dong was helpless. He looked around and saw Sun Tao sweating nervously not far away. His face darkened and said, "This bastard, he's making a fool of himself!"
Liu Qi held back her laughter. There was nothing she could do about it.
This kind of occasion was indeed stressful. It was fine if there was no live broadcast, but he would be embarrassing himself in front of his own family.
But with a live broadcast, if he said something wrong, he would be embarrassing himself in front of the whole of Hua Xia.
Sun Tao was also terrified. If he said something wrong, he would not even have a chance to redeem himself. A recorded broadcast was fine, but a live broadcast was the most challenging.
Li Dong sighed and nodded. "Alright, I'll go up and speak later."
"Take a look at the speech. It's about the same as in previous years …"
Liu Qi stuffed a speech over. Li Dong threw it aside and said angrily, "No need. Do you think such a small matter can stump me?"
"You'd better take it with you. Just in case you forget your lines later …"
Li Dong glared at her. Are you looking down on me?
When did I, Brother Dong, fail?
At the Internet conference, I made everyone speechless. At the media conference, which reporter can stump me?
I've seen a lot of the country's politicians. Such a small matter is still a problem for me?
After being glared at by Li Dong, Liu Qi did not say anything else. She immediately said, "Then I'll go and arrange it. It'll be your turn later. Get ready first."
"Go."
After sending Liu Qi away, Li Dong looked at Chang Yuanshan and Wu Changguo and said with a chuckle, "Mr. Chang, Mr. Wu, I've embarrassed myself in front of you."
Although Chang Yuanshan had some personal grudges with Li Dong, he did not show it at this moment.
Hearing that, he said with a smile, "It's normal. I'm not afraid to say something to General Manager Li. I remember the first time I participated in such a conference, there were only about a hundred people. I was so nervous that I couldn't speak. After speaking on stage for a while, I completely forgot what I said when I went down. After a few times, I got used to it with experience. "
Just as he finished speaking, Wu Changguo said coldly, "This scale is the limit. Don't think about organizing a million-person conference. Even if you want to do it, don't come to Pingchuan. Pingchuan can't withstand such an impact. "
Clearly, Old Man Wu had heard what Li Dong said outside.
Don't look at how he and Li Dong had a good personal relationship. Outside, the old man had always treated him with a cold face. On the contrary, Chang Yuanshan gave people a closer feeling.
But Li Dong had long passed the time to look at faces. Hearing the old man's words, he immediately chuckled and said, "Mr. Wu, don't worry. I'm just saying. How can it really be a million-person annual conference? Just a hundred-thousand-person annual conference is already pressing me to the point that I can't breathe. "
"It's good that you know what you're doing."
After Old Man Wu said this, he no longer paid attention to Li Dong.
Don't look at how Li Dong was famous outside now. Everyone who saw him would give him some face. Wu Changguo could not be bothered to give him this face.
This kid, the more you gave him face, the more he could torment.
These few years, Jiangbei was not nervous about other things. But when it came to matters related to Li Dong, Jiangbei's government was very nervous.
He was really too good at tormenting!
And every time, it gave people the feeling of walking on a tightrope. Jiangbei's side was afraid that he would torment himself to death.
If that was really the case, then Jiangbei's losses would be huge.
Far away alone could pull in tens of billions of economic figures for Jiangbei every year. And this was just Far Away itself.
Adding on some additional industries and other links in the Far Away ecosystem, as well as the Far Away Logistics Park, a Faraway Group with its headquarters in Pingchuan could pull in hundreds of billions of economic figures for Jiangbei.
This kind of figures was comparable to a prefecture-level city.
And it was not an ordinary prefecture-level city. It was a prefecture-level city that was at the forefront.
Who would be willing to let go of such an organization?
If not for this, why would Qin Hanyuan and the rest always take the blame for him and support him?
Far Away's annual conference, Jiangbei's government was also paying attention to it. Far Away's annual conference brought to Pingchuan was comparable to Pingchuan's tens of millions of investment in advertising.
Nowadays, cities also needed popularity.
To pull in the tourism industry and the tertiary industry, they all needed popularity.
Therefore, Jiangbei's government also hoped that Far Away's annual conference could be successfully completed. That was why they sent two high-ranking officials to attend the conference. Otherwise, they could have just sent one person.
As they spoke, the emcee on the stage was notified and did not delay any further.
Yang Si, who was the closest to Li Dong, smiled and said, "Next, let us welcome the chairman of Faraway Group's board of directors, Mr. Li Dong, to give a speech for the fifth anniversary of Far Away's annual conference!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Li Dong also smiled and stood up. He turned around and bowed slightly before walking up the stage.
The applause did not stop until Li Dong stepped onto the stage. Only then did it gradually stop.
Taking the microphone from the staff member, Li Dong looked down the stage.
It would have been better if he did not look. Once he did, Li Dong's mind suddenly went blank.
Human heads, human heads everywhere, densely packed human heads.
Although Li Dong had seen a lot of the world and had participated in many conferences, he had never seen a scale of more than ten thousand people, a small number of people, a large number of hundreds, or even thousands.
One hundred thousand people, as Liu Qi said, was just a figure. Seeing so many people present, and thinking about how many people were watching the live broadcast …
At this time, even Li Dong's legs were a little weak.
Big entrepreneurs did not mean they were omnipotent.
Many times, big entrepreneurs' responses were not as good as some small celebrities.
Celebrities had already prepared for this and had done countless rehearsals in advance. Rashly letting people on such a stage would indeed make people feel at a loss.
Fortunately, Li Dong was not a rookie who just graduated from school. He took a light breath and then smiled. "Honestly, I didn't feel it when I was in the audience. But when I really stood on such a stage, I was a little nervous. "At this time, I have to say that I admire the artists who can bring us wonderful performances under the eyes of tens of thousands of people. "What I admire even more are the athletes who win glory for us on the international stage. "In the past, I didn't feel it deeply when I was in the audience. Now that I think about it, to be able to perform so well in such an occasion, these people's psychological qualities are not a problem for them to be the boss of a group."
Li Dong made a joke, and the audience immediately roared with laughter.
Yang Si, who was on the stage, immediately followed up with a smile. "General Manager Li, then after the annual meeting, can we apply for the position of General Manager Far away?"
Li Dong chuckled and said, "You're welcome anytime."
After a simple sentence, Li Dong did not say much about it. Yang Si also knew that such a topic was meaningless. It was enough to warm up the atmosphere and let Li Dong relax a little.
After finishing his opening remarks, Li Dong then resumed his serious expression and said, "Today, 100,000 people have gathered together. There are our employees, our employees' families, our business partners, government agencies, security personnel to maintain law and order, and celebrity artists who brought us wonderful performances …
"I'm very grateful to everyone for coming to attend the year-end meeting Far away, which is also our fifth anniversary meeting Far away!
It has been five years. The first five years of Far away is coming to an end.
Five years ago, Far away was really a place far away. No one knew what Far away was. Not many people knew that there was such an insignificant small enterprise.
Five years later, everything had changed!
Now, if I mention Far away again, I dare not say that everyone knows, but at least half of the people in Hua Xia know the existence of Far away and have heard the name Far Away!
And all of this, is it a miracle and value that I, Li Dong, personally created?
No!
All of this was brought to Far Away by all of you, to me, Li Dong.
So, at this moment, I am very grateful and thankful!
Thank everyone who has contributed to Far Away, be it our employees, our customers, including our opponents!
Without all of you, there would not be Far Away, and there would not be the limitless glory that I, Li Dong, have now!
And after thanking, it is sharing.
Yes, the theme of this year's annual meeting is actually sharing.
Share our success, share our happiness, share our everything!
We will use practical actions to tell everyone that Far Away does not belong to me, Li Dong, nor does it belong to our employees. Far Away belongs to the whole world!
Share, share everything. Rather than enjoying it alone, it is better to share it with everyone. Let everyone be happy. This is my, Li Dong's, original intention … "
Below the stage, the ordinary employees did not feel anything.
Some small and medium-sized enterprises also felt a little empty, while some big entrepreneurs were deep in thought.
When one stood in a different position, the things they considered and the way they looked at things would change.
Regardless of whether Li Dong was fake or not, the sharing that he mentioned was actually the path that big enterprises wanted to take in the end. It was the path that they were all taking.
The bigger the enterprise, the more they cared about these things.
On the other hand, small and medium-sized enterprises did not have so many considerations.
Just as everyone was deep in thought, Li Dong, who was on the stage, continued to say with a smile, "Since the theme of our annual meeting is sharing, then from this moment on, we will learn what it means to share!
Today, there are a total of 98745 people attending the annual meeting!
And among them, there are a total of 43208 family members of our employees.
Thank you, family members, for your silent contributions and support. It is all of you who have made Far Away!
When your loved ones, your children, and your parents are working hard Far Away, it is all of you who are supporting the whole family, so that our employees and colleagues can devote themselves to the enterprise without distractions.
"Coincidentally, today is Valentine's Day. Parents, lovers, and children are all our lovers and family.
Don't just think about your wife and husband. Valentine's Day also belongs to the whole family!
"Since we are talking about sharing, originally, when OPPO sponsored 10,000 OL cell phones, I initially thought of giving them to our employees as a reward.
But when I stood on the stage just now, I suddenly felt that there was no need to give them to you.
"All of you can just focus on your work. If we give you cell phones, your work efficiency might decrease.
"I thought about it and decided to give them to our family members.
"Far Away's ability is limited this time, and we can't give everyone one. For now, there is only a quota of 10,000 cell phones.
"Let's not play around, and we won't wait until the end. Now, once I get off the stage, we will immediately start giving away 10,000 cell phones!
"After you get the cell phones, everyone, there are still many surprises waiting for you tonight. What you need to do is to immediately change your SIM card and log into your PP account. There are still surprises waiting for you!
"Of course, family members who did not get the cell phones do not need to be discouraged.
"Tonight, since we have agreed to share our success and happiness, everyone will return with rewards!
Without further ado, everyone cheered and jumped for joy. The annual meeting is not a meeting.
"Eat, watch, and applaud. This is your mission tonight!"
After Li Dong finished speaking, he passed the topic to the emcee and turned to leave the stage.
Below the stage, there was a thunderous applause and cheers.
10,000 OL cell phones!
The OL cell phone had just been released not long ago, and it was still one of the few smartphones in the market. It was also the most famous model.
That's right, it was the most expensive one.
Currently, the other big manufacturers had not officially released smartphones, and some small manufacturers and counterfeit manufacturers had followed the trend.
Under the promotion of Far Away, OPPO had become one of the leading brands in the industry.
The annual meeting had just started, and there was already such a big surprise. Many people were excited.
Just these 10,000 cell phones alone were worth more than 20 million in the market, and it was close to 30 million.
Li Dong was indeed a rich and overbearing person!
It was the same whether they gave the cell phones to their family members or not. Furthermore, some people had brought more than one family member with them, so they had a higher chance of winning.
As for those employees who did not bring their family members with them, it was too late for regrets. If they had known this would happen, they would have brought one of their family members with them.
More than 2,000 yuan was equivalent to a month's salary for many people. Furthermore, they had given away 10,000 cell phones. How shameful.
…
Not only was the atmosphere lively, but some of the viewers watching the live broadcast were also envious.
Was this the annual meeting of a big company?
It had just started, and the stars were already gathering. The cell phones were not given out in a few units, but in the tens of thousands.
This was incomparable to many companies that gave out cell phones as a grand prize!
It was fine if they did not watch the live broadcast, but compared to their own companies, it was too shameful.
Many people were secretly thinking that since it was just the beginning of the new year, they could go to Far Away and see if there were any opportunities.
Far Away had not been established for long, and they were still recruiting on a large scale. There were still many opportunities.
And these people's thoughts were actually one of Li Dong's original intentions.
With the expansion of logistics and supermarkets, Far Away still needed a lot of manpower. Using the annual meeting as an opportunity, they might be able to recruit some talents to Far Away.
This was not any worse than advertising. In fact, it was even better. Moreover, the money was not wasted.
This was also one of the reasons why many companies would advertise their annual meetings on a large scale. It was to increase their popularity and become an advertisement.
…
Just as the others were getting excited, Ma Yun's face was full of black lines.
When Li Dong walked past him after getting off the stage, the first thing he said was, "It's almost your tenth anniversary, and the scale is smaller than Far Away. It's embarrassing. If I were you, I wouldn't do it to prevent people from scolding me."
Li Dong said it in a relaxed manner. After he finished speaking, he left with a happy face.
Ma Yun, on the other hand, had a headache. Although this guy was smug, what he said was the truth!
It was a tenth anniversary celebration. If it was not as good as Far Away's fifth anniversary celebration, then no matter how much they invested, it would not have the desired effect and would instead be a joke.
But who knew what other tricks Li Dong had up his sleeve? How much money did he invest? Could Ali afford it?
Ma Yun thought to himself, 'Why don't I just do it secretly?'
