Beijing.
Du Anmin looked at the computer in front of him and did not say a word.
Shen Xuehua frowned and stared at Li Dong on the computer screen.
Du Anmin's personal phone was also ringing non-stop.
Someone was anxious!
An investment of 5 billion RMB might not be considered a lot to Beijing, but was it not important if it was not a lot?
This was an investment of 5 billion!
This was an industry that involved tens of billions of capital!
Far Away Department Store had close to 10,000 employees and tens of thousands of people in the industry chain.
This time, it was the department store industry. What about the next time?
Express delivery?
Gome?
Or was he going to cut off the internet industry?
Far Away had no problems in other parts of the country, but something happened in Beijing. This made the Beijing government embarrassed.
The phone was still ringing. Shen Xuehua frowned and said, "You're not picking up?"
Du Anmin sighed and said, "What do you want to say?"
Shen Xuehua was speechless. That's right. What do I want to say?
After a moment of silence, Shen Xuehua sighed and said, "Pick up. Don't let others think that you are the one who ordered it. Also, is there no way to salvage the situation? This is not a good thing for everyone. "
"Who knows."
Du Anmin shook his head. Whether it was a good thing or a bad thing depended on one's perspective.
Far Away's withdrawal from Beijing was a lose-lose situation for both sides. Of course, Far Away's loss was greater.
But Beijing's investment environment would definitely be questioned this time.
Hua Xia's top private enterprise could no longer survive in Beijing. What did this mean?
Even if Li Dong said it was for the sake of Far Away's reputation and customers, it was just to fool the ordinary people.
But that was only to fool ordinary people. Did they really think that entrepreneurs were fools?
Even Li Dong did not dare to continue investing in Beijing. Would they dare to?
How could a business be perfect?
There was no such thing as perfection in anything, let alone a business.
Far Away could leave. A few more did not seem to be a big deal.
Was there such a possibility?
Du Anmin didn't say anything else. He picked up the phone and answered it.
After listening for a while, Du Anmin said in a deep voice, "Got it. We'll start the guild tomorrow morning and inform the others."
"…"
After hanging up the phone, Du Anmin got up and said, "I'm going to the study. You should sleep early."
"Can you still sleep?" Shen Xuehua sighed again. She got up and said, "I'll pack up and go to Jiangbei tomorrow. By the way, are you really not going to persuade Li Dong? "
Du Anmin pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, I still hope that he can continue to stay, but he has his own considerations and will not listen to us."
Shen Xuehua was speechless. This was the truth.
If it had been anyone else, with his father-in-law's background, they would have done whatever he said.
However, Li Dong was no ordinary person. He was an internationally renowned entrepreneur.
In front of Du Anmin, he would maintain his respect, but he would not be completely without a mind of his own and completely obedient.
Shen Xuehua did not know how many times she had sighed today. She said weakly, "I'll go and talk to him. Far Away has suffered a great loss this way. You won't feel good either. Let's use this opportunity to let people know. Then, we'll pull Faraway back. Next time, something like this won't happen. "
Du Anmin did not say anything. He nodded and went into the study.
…
At the same time.
There was a lot of discussion everywhere. The Internet was also heated.
Shanghai.
The chief official of Shanghai was in a meeting. As the economic center of Hua Xia, this metropolis with tens of millions of people had endless work every day.
When the secretary whispered a few words in his ear, the chief official was suddenly overjoyed.
As the chief economic officer of the economic center of Hua Xia, he had long reached the point where he did not show his emotions.
However, this time, he was really happy.
As soon as the secretary finished speaking, the chief official smiled and said, "Just now at the annual meeting of Faraway Group, Li Dong announced the indefinite closure of Beijing's Far Away Department Store industry.
The other party's withdrawal from Beijing's market was almost a foregone conclusion!
The withdrawal of Beijing also meant that the industrial center of Far Away began to move south, and Shanghai was the first choice for Far Away!
Last time, Li Dong came to Shanghai to talk about the relocation of Gome's headquarters.
Now that Gome had merged into Far Away Retail Group, it was now Gome. Next, it was likely to be the entire retail group, or even Faraway Group.
Hua Xia was the number one private enterprise, number one in retail, top three in IT, top ten in logistics …
For such a group to be located in Shanghai, it was an extremely important direction!
If Faraway Group's headquarters were to be located in Shanghai, a conservative estimate would bring more than 300 billion in industrial value added.
Mr. Chen, I'll have to trouble you to personally make this trip.
Tomorrow, you will go to Pingchuan and personally talk to Li Dong. You must make sure this matter is implemented!
Far Away has not been listed yet. Once it is listed, it will create more value.
Far Away is located in Shanghai, and we will no longer be in the predicament of having no large IT companies.
In the entire retail market, Shanghai will also occupy half of Hua Xia's market, forming a new industrial cluster … "
The chief official was in a good mood, or perhaps he was overly happy.
Even in Shanghai, there were not many companies with annual revenue of hundreds of billions of RMB.
Although not all of them were relocated this time, once Far Away felt the enthusiasm and preferential policies of Shanghai, it was not impossible for the entire group to be relocated.
Also, in the past, although Shanghai was known as the economic center of Hua Xia and a high-end industrial cluster, there was an awkward situation in Shanghai.
However, there was an awkward situation in Shanghai. None of the internet giants had settled in Shanghai.
In the past, Shanda was considered as an Internet giant, but Shanda was gradually declining.
Tencent in Shenzhen, Ali in Lin 'an, Baidu and Sina in Beijing, Far Away in Pingchuan …
None of these top Internet giants were located in Shanghai!
Sometimes, the Shanghai Municipal Government was in an awkward position.
It was not that they had not invited some giants to enter Shanghai, but the other party had been operating in the local area for many years. In addition, the local government's preferential policies were very strict. In order to protect these companies, the Municipal Government tried their best to rope them in.
They had held several meetings, but all of them were fruitless.
This time, there was hope!
Far Away chose to withdraw from Beijing, and Pingchuan had its limitations. For example, IDC's data center industry cluster was difficult to achieve in Jiangbei.
This was related to hardware and local infrastructure. Unless Far Away was willing to continue to invest in the Internet infrastructure.
Otherwise, Jiangbei would not be a good choice for the cluster.
This time, they could bring in Gome. The next time, it would be Far Away Retail. The next time, it would be the entire Faraway Group!
The entry of a Faraway Group could lead to changes in the entire business world.
When that time comes, the gains for Shanghai would be too great.
For this kind of gain, it was not too much to ask his deputy to look for Li Dong personally.
If it was not for the fact that he did not want to embarrass the people in Beijing, he would have gone himself.
Sometimes, these people valued their reputation very much. Sometimes, they could take it and let it go.
To be able to reach this step, they would not be unable to make this kind of decision.
The deputy, who was in his fifties, heard this and smiled. "Okay, then I will go there early tomorrow morning. But if I go, Mr. Qin and the rest will be nervous. "
"Don't worry about them. Qin Hanyuan got a bargain. Far Away's rise is not as big as Jiangbei's. Also, in Jiangbei, Far Away could not get any more development. Far Away would have been out of the country by now if they had settled in Shanghai three years ago. This time, you don't have to worry about the Jiangbei government. Of course, try to keep a low profile. Far Away had just announced their withdrawal from Beijing. It is not good to make a big move. "
"I understand."
"Good. If you can't make decisions on the spot, keep in touch by phone at any time. On my side, try to meet Far Away's requirements. Far Away's introduction is very likely to be our biggest achievement in the first quarter … "
…
That night, it was not only Shanghai that began to move.
In the coastal areas, some first-tier cities also began to take action.
Everyone had foresight.
Far Away had evacuated from the core of the north. Moving their center of gravity to the south was an inevitable choice.
In the south, Shanghai was not the only choice.
Southern Fujian, Guangdong Province, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions all had hope.
At least compared to Jiangbei, their economy was much more developed. What Jiangbei could give, they could also give, or even more.
Forget about the real estate group. Far Away had both labor- intensive industries and high-end IT industries. This kind of enterprise was the most welcomed by the local government.
It solved the unemployment problem and could also upgrade the overall industry. Who would not want to bring in such a golden phoenix?
As early as before, many places had been eyeing Far Away.
However, Jiangbei's side was tightly guarded. Far Away had not wavered, and it was difficult for other places to move.
Now, Far Away had obviously opened a gap.
At this time, the probability of success would greatly increase.
…
The outside world was taking action.
At the scene, Li Dong's words shocked and made it difficult for everyone to accept.
Some of the employees who came from the Capital area to attend the annual meeting were stunned.
Just a moment ago, they were still cheering passionately.
The next moment, they could become people Far Away.
How could they accept this?!
Even Qi Yunna's eyes were red at this time. Capital was the place where she had put the most effort.
Since the beginning of 2007, she had gone to Capital.
A whole two years. Compared to Far Away, which had only been established for five years, it was a very, very long time.
Whether it was Wang Yue, Sun Tao, or Yuan Chengdao, none of them had been away for as long as her.
Capital was the industry system that she had built bit by bit. In these two years, she knew that she was not knowledgeable, experienced, or qualified.
In order not to disappoint Li Dong, in order not to let the group lose money.
In the 700 days, except for one time when she was very sick and rested for three days, she had not taken a day off.
Every day, she would arrive at the company at 7 in the morning and would not leave before 10 at night.
This kind of sacrifice and hard work had made Capital Department Store what it was today.
She was constantly recharging herself. When she got home, she would read all kinds of business and management books before resting late at night.
In her opinion, all these efforts were worth it.
However, at this moment, even though she had known about this before, at that time, Li Dong had not completely confirmed it. She was not as upset as she was now.
At this time, Qi Yunna suddenly wanted to cry.
The 5 billion investment in Capital Department Store had been denied just like that?
Two years of hard work in exchange for an indefinite suspension of business?
Did the young man in front of her understand how desperate and painful these few simple words had made her feel?
Qi Yunna's eyes were red. She tried hard not to let the tears fall.
At this time, she still had to turn around and comfort those employees with a smile. She choked with sobs, but with a smile on her face, she said, "Everyone, calm down. Believe in General Manager Li, believe in the company. When has General Manager Li ever let us down? He has no other choice. As long as we work hard and persevere, all difficulties will pass. I will also accompany everyone until the distant land returns to its former glory! "
Following her words, Li Dong, who was on the stage, said in a low voice, "I originally did not want to mention this topic at this happy moment today.
However, as a business, you cannot just say good things!
We have said good things for five years. Today, it is like pouring cold water on everyone.
However, all my family and friends, if you trust me, Li Dong, then put away your sadness and anger.
In Capital, Far away will not fall like this!
And I, Li Dong, will not give up on anyone!
Never abandon, never give up. This is my, Li Dong's, promise!
The annual meeting ends here today. Capital will not be my, Li Dong's, Waterloo! "
After saying this, Li Dong bowed deeply and walked down the stage with heavy steps.
The few hosts had never experienced such a scene before. For a moment, they were speechless.
The annual meeting, which had been going smoothly, Far Away's annual meeting, which could not have been better, was suddenly thrown into chaos by Li Dong's news.
At this moment, many people had a terrible headache. Meeting this person was really too difficult.
