After Hu Xiaorui left the office, Yang Si and the others stopped talking about family with Li Dong.
After chatting for a while, Yang Si began to ask about long-distance planning.
"Mr. Li, based on the current situation, Far away's offline retail industry should have entered a bottleneck period.
According to the speculations of the outside world, Far away has two paths to take.
First, the real estate industry.
At the end of 2008, the government began to implement policies to stimulate the market economy in Hua Xia.
Some experts and industry insiders generally believe that the golden age of the real estate industry has arrived. Far away's Dongyu Real Estate has not been famous for the past few years, but it is not weak in the commercial real estate industry.
Will your focus be on the real estate industry next?
Or, judging from your recent behavior, Far away will be more focused on the internet industry? "
Li Dong heard this and laughed. "The offline retail industry has reached a bottleneck period?
I don't quite agree with this.
On the contrary, in my opinion, the offline retail industry is currently in a booming period.
Far away's retail market is still very small. Not to mention the world, not to mention Hua Xia, even the East China retail market can't be leveraged.
As I said before, compared to the entire social consumer market in Hua Xia, Far away's market size is almost negligible.
Therefore, the bottleneck period does not exist at all.
Next, Far away will continue to increase its investment in the offline retail industry.
And to put it in a self-deprecating way, in the offline department stores and offline home appliances industry, Far away can't be said to be the absolute number one in Hua Xia.
Bailian, China Resources, Suning, although these companies' overall strength is not as strong as Far away, in a single area, they are not necessarily weaker than Far away.
Take Bailian for example, after integrating the group's resources, in fact, in the department stores industry, their market share is actually not lower than ours.
Similarly, the same is true for Suning.
Of course, this is before. The reason why these companies can't be compared to Far away is because their development potential is insufficient.
In layman's terms, they don't have enough potential.
The reason why I'm saying all this is not to belittle anyone or any company. I just want to say that Far away, there is still a lot of potential that can be tapped.
Especially in the offline sector, we not only have to compete with domestic companies, but also with foreign companies.
In 2008, Wal-Mart's sales were close to 400 billion USD, close to 3 trillion RMB!
So far away, it was only a fraction of the other party's size, not even one-tenth of its size. Offline, it wasn't even one-twentieth of its size.
Therefore, we still have a long way to go.
In the next few years, our focus will still be on this. In other words, our focus has never changed.
The reason why we gave the outside world the illusion that we would shift our center of gravity … "
Li Dong paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "That's because So far away, it's fine if you don't do it, but once you do it, you're aiming to be the strongest! Regardless of whether it is the Internet industry, logistics, or commercial real estate, we are not deliberately increasing our investments and doing whatever we want. Often, when we're not careful, our businesses grow big. When we look back, we're actually in the top ten, top five, and even first place! Sometimes, we don't even realize it ourselves. It can only be said to be an unexpected harvest. "
Yang Si laughed dryly, and Zhao Liying was embarrassed.
In short, to sum up Li Dong's words, "I only said one thing, everyone else is trash!"
He just did it casually, unintentionally developed it, and casually managed it. When he turned around, hehe, it became big!
As for you guys being afraid, it's not because he's too strong, but because you guys are too weak.
Yang Si didn't know if her conclusion was right, but in any case, the meaning of Li Dong's words sounded like this to her.
Yang Si felt tired again. This was probably the most difficult personal interview she had ever done.
When the show aired later, would those big shots think that this was rehearsed long ago? That she deliberately asked these questions and had already matched the answers with Li Dong?
She couldn't deal with Li Dong, couldn't she deal with East Star, but she could deal with Yang Si?
Should she go back and get the post-production team to censor her?
Yang Si thought absent-mindedly, but when she was distracted, Zhao Liying asked, "General Manager Li, in your opinion, domestic companies are not competitive?"
Yang Si's face darkened. This girl, isn't she trying to stir up trouble?
She could ask others, but even if other tycoons thought so, they wouldn't say it out loud.
But if she asked Li Dong, she might not know what to say later.
But when she heard Li Dong's answer, Yang Si was relieved.
"Not necessarily. Domestic enterprises have their own advantages, and foreign enterprises have their own advantages. Hua Xia companies are still very competitive. You should have seen in the past few years that Hua Xia companies are gradually going out of the country and have a certain influence around the world. But … "
Yang Si felt that the first part of the sentence was quite good. She finally flattered others.
But when she heard the word "but", Yang Si's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
"However, Hua Xia's economic system has not been established for a long time, and it hasn't been on the right track for too long.
It is already very rare to be able to catch up with the development speed of foreign countries in such a short period of time.
From this point of view, the entire Hua Xia companies, including Hua Xia's economic system, have strong core competitiveness.
But time is a shortcoming. We are still one step behind others. The gap of a hundred years is not so easy to catch up.
Now it can be said that compared to the world's top economies, we have caught up with 99 years, and we are only one step away.
But this last step is still very difficult to cross for the time being. Therefore, it is not entirely wrong to say that domestic companies are not competitive. At least for now, some large international groups are more threatening.
Of course, this is for the future Far away.
At present, our main competitor is still Hua Xia's companies.
And although foreign capital will cause us more pressure, this pressure is not absolute.
Take Weibo for example. Weibo was born out of Facebook and Twitter. I have always admitted this, and there is nothing to hide.
But now, it is not an exaggeration to say that the student has surpassed the master.
In the Hua Xia market, we are the absolute number one, and no other platform can compare.
In the international market, in Asia, our market share is higher than the other two.
In the European and American market, except for the United States, our market share and the number of users in other regions are not less than them.
From this, it can be seen that nothing is absolute. The key still lies in the company itself.
For Far away, the real enemy is actually only itself, and the real opponent is only itself.
Other companies, whether state-owned or foreign, are just a scenery on our way forward. In my opinion, surpassing them is not inevitable, but it is a very logical thing. "
This boast was too much. Yang Si and Zhao Liying completely did not know what to ask!
Faraway Group, even if it reached a scale of 300 billion USD, it was less than 50 billion USD.
However, at this time, Li Dong was more arrogant than a 500 billion USD consortium.
Is it really okay to boast like this?
Yang Si glanced at the camera and smiled bitterly. "General Manager Li, how about we stop the interview for a while?"
Li Dong was surprised. "What's wrong?"
"It's …" Yang Si was a little distressed. After a while, she found an excuse. "I'm a little thirsty, and didn't you say that it should be more interesting? It's a bit boring to always stay in the office for interviews. How about we have a cup of tea and go to Far away's office later? We can talk while we walk. "
Li Dong smiled and said, "Okay. Also, if you have something to say next time, just say it.
Do you think what I said is a bit empty?
In fact, it's not boasting. It's just the truth.
In unfamiliar fields, Far away naturally wouldn't say this. In some high-end fields, Far away wouldn't dare to say this.
But Far away is familiar with the field. Since I dare to say it, it means that it's not pure nonsense.
Maybe you think that the first five years are already Far Away's peak.
However, the truth is the opposite. The first five years are just the stage of laying the foundation. In this stage, Far Away is actually still following the trend and walking step by step.
Far Away's real explosive period, in my opinion, should be in the future.
Standing on the shoulders of some giants, gathering the strength and thinking of these giants, walking at the forefront of the world, in my opinion, is very normal. "
"Giants?"
Yang Si frowned slightly. Is this a metaphor or referring to someone?
She didn't ask. In order to liven up the atmosphere, Zhao Liying smiled and asked, "General Manager Li, the giants you are talking about, are you talking about yourself?"
As Li Dong got up and walked to the reception area, he smiled and said, "How should I put it? I am a collection of giants."
This sentence was a bit complicated. Li Dong could be saying that he was stronger than everyone. The so-called giants were just a part of him.
Of course, it could also have other meanings.
But at this time, Zhao Liying didn't ask. This was not the point.
They sat down in the reception area, and Bai Su entered the door with tea.
Yang Si took a sip and said, "Mr. Li, I heard that you adopted two little girls before …"
Li Dong waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this."
As soon as this was said, Yang Si immediately changed the topic and said, "Mr. Li, can I ask you a few more sharp topics?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "Just ask."
"Faraway Group is now the number one private company. Even among all the enterprises in Hua Xia, it ranks very high.
But until now, Faraway is almost still controlled by you.
This is a rare thing in enterprises, especially large groups.
Far away's equity structure has long been discussed by the outside world.
What do you think about this personally?
Also, have your executives not fought for this for themselves? "
Li Dong pondered for a moment and thought about it before saying, "Actually, someone asked me this question before, just a few days ago.
Regarding the issue of equity structure, in fact, many companies have faced various difficulties.
Far away, of course, there was a period of confusion. The executives and employees were confused. They didn't know who they were fighting for and lacked a sense of belonging.
In fact, I personally controlled Far away. It doesn't mean that I, Li Dong, can't tolerate others and can't bear to give benefits to others.
Far away has not been established for a long time. It has only been five years.
In my opinion, five years is not the time yet. At this time, I don't feel that I am behind the times.
Therefore, I need absolute obedience and absolute efficiency.
Once I lose my shares, it might cause some unnecessary trouble.
Of course, some people will say that this is a sign of lack of confidence. As long as you make the right decisions, you don't need to worry about these even if you lose your shares.
Someone even used Huawei's Mr. Ren as an example.
But in fact, this is rare. Do you all really know about Huawei's internal situation?
Most of the time, if the founders lose their shares, they might be kicked out of the company.
Even if they are not kicked out, they will have to step aside.
There are too many examples like this!
Let me give you a few examples. Where are the founders of the previous number one e-commerce site, eBay?
Before Baidu got listed, there was a lot of competition for the shares.
Ali is also facing the competition for the shares now.
Gome's position as the number one home appliance chain is in danger because of the internal competition.
Where are Sina's founders now?
Are their decisions always wrong?
When the founders are not old, when our minds are still clear, when we are not muddle-headed, and when the company's performance is still rising.
At this time, the company needs a high degree of centralization to be efficient.
So far away, how are we going to show our strength?
Although many people can hear me and know what I am talking about in front of the media, I still want to say that we are more efficient!
I can report a 10 billion RMB merger within three days!
What about the other companies?
First, it will be the department meeting, followed by the company meeting, the board of directors meeting, the shareholders meeting, and maybe the supervisors meeting …
When all the meetings ended and the documents were passed down, 6 months had passed!
I said that I will privatize Gome, and it took less than a month!
Ali said that he will privatize Ali Technology, and Ma Yun had said last year that he will stop the market this year. But the privatization is still far away.
They will not be able to complete the privatization without at least 6 months.
It will take at least a year for them to complete the privatization!
Is it because Ma Yun can't do it?
Or is there something wrong with Ma Yun's decision?
None of them!
It's because the shareholders have different opinions and cannot make a decision quickly.
Ali is not an exception. There are many similar cases, and you all can find out.
So, in the early stages, during the rapid development, I will not take the risk of being rejected and losing my shares.
Of course, this is for now.
In fact, as time passes, as the company grows, I am starting to feel powerless.
At this time, I can consider letting our senior executives and employees hold a part of the shares to fight for their own careers.
But we have to take it step by step, and the shares cannot be distributed easily.
To put it bluntly, I, Li Dong, am not an idiot. If you can't bring me so much value, why should I share the shares with you?
Weibo has already given out a part of the shares. It's not options, but real shares.
I like to be direct. Why did I choose to share the shares of Weibo?
It's not because Weibo is going to be listed. The listing is secondary. The key is that Weibo has brought me unexpected value and wealth.
That's why I am sharing these.
It's the same at any time. If you bring me value, I will bring you value.
If you can't do it, then unless you are my parents' family, there won't be such a good thing waiting for you. "
After Li Dong finished speaking, he smiled and said, "Some employees in the distance might be dissatisfied if they heard these words.
But it doesn't matter. I believe you will understand sooner or later.
I, Li Dong, rarely treat others harshly, unless I really hate them.
During the annual meeting, I said that I want to create more tycoons, meaningful tycoons, and not tycoons who just eat and wait for death.
These will be gradually realized in the next few years.
Whether you are one of them or not, the key is still up to you. "
Yang Si nodded slightly and did not ask further. Instead, she smiled and said, "Mr. Li, if you don't mind, can you take us to have a look? Actually, we were all very curious about the office environment and atmosphere inside Distance. Although I am a contracted artist of East Star and have been to Far away a few times, I have never had the chance to see the real side of Far away. "
"Of course, no problem."
Li Dong got up and said, "At present, several sub-groups Far away have separated their offices. Far away's offline retail is currently divided into two major parts. The first one is the department store business, which is currently headquartered in Pingchuan Far away Square. The second one is the home appliance business, which is mainly Gome. We have begun to prepare to move the headquarters of Gome to Shanghai to face greater challenges. Dongyu Real Estate is located in the former Greenland Building. To be honest, the office environment Far away is very good. Although there were some difficulties in the early stage, now the office environment should be first-class in the industry. "
"…"
While they were talking, they had already gone downstairs.
Far away Weibo was downstairs.
Wang Xin received the news and was already waiting at the elevator.
Seeing Li Dong coming out, Wang Xin immediately said, "General Manager Li."
Li Dong nodded and introduced him to Yang Si, "This is Wang Xin, COO of Far away Weibo. Of course, he may also be the future CEO. Let's see him later.
General Manager Wang is quite capable. He created the campus intranet and fanno.
Of course, this is not to praise him. I just want to say that as you have seen, Far away does not stick to one pattern.
Whether it is a company founder or a high-end elite, Far away can find a suitable position for you.
If you are capable enough, it is not impossible to replace my position, so I take this opportunity to say a few words.
If you are confident and have real ability, then come to Far away!
Far away's senior management, on average, is less than 35 years old.
Today you are sweeping the road, but it does not mean that you will continue to sweep the road tomorrow. Even if you sweep, you will sweep the road Far away. Maybe one day you will rise to the sky and become rich directly. "
Li Dong's words made everyone laugh. Advertisements are everywhere. Is it appropriate to say this at this time?
But really, maybe it can attract some elites to join Far away.
Accompanied by Wang Xin, everyone went into the Weibo company to have a look.
When they saw Li Dong, everyone said hello.
Zhao Liying couldn't help but say, "General Manager Li, Far away's hierarchy seems to be very strict. But at present, some enterprises are implementing equal management in the outside world. Do you think it is necessary to change the management system Far away? "
"No rules, no standards!"
Li Dong said with a light smile, "The so-called equality is just a gimmick.
Which enterprise has implemented equal management, you tell me.
I let the security guard see the boss, call him by his name, and loudly scold him. You can ask the boss, is he angry?
When the superior gives the task, the subordinates say that I don't want to do it, and you do it yourself. You ask them if they want to do it or not?
Of course, the current so-called equality is just to give employees some right to speak on the scene.
As for how much right to speak, benevolent people see benevolence and wise people see wisdom.
Far away here, it has only been five years, and the management system has not yet reached the time to change.
At this time, it is nonsense to quarrel and ask for power and the right to speak. Openly refuting the superior's opinion is even more unforgivable.
In private, you can suggest, you can refute, you can put forward reasons, this is all right.
However, in public, you refute a word, I refute a word, where is the efficiency to speak of?
I would rather implement a wrong policy than see that because of too many opinions, it can't be implemented for several years. This is why Far away can go to the present. "
"Then if the decision is really wrong …"
"Then go on with the mistake, I can lose money, lose money, I will find the person in charge of this matter, because his decision is wrong. But before the mistake occurs, he is the absolute leader, and there is no need to refute before there is a real mistake! "
As soon as these words came out, not only Yang Si and Zhao Liying felt incredible, but even Wang Xin felt a little emotional.
Perhaps, this is one of the reasons why Far away has a high combat effectiveness.
Do it first!
Whether it is wrong or not, before there is a mistake, then you are right, and wrong is also right!
As for really causing a major loss, that is also your responsibility. Since you have done it, you have to bear it.
Far away's division of responsibility is very clear, so some leaders are actually very cautious before making suggestions.
Because if you make a mistake, you have no chance to shirk it to your subordinates.
…
Walking and stopping, it is also time for dinner.
Li Dong did not go anywhere else, but took everyone into the canteen.
As soon as they entered the canteen, Li Dong said, "Give me some good food, and bring us the best."
Li Dong, who said that he would complain about being poor before, now asked the waiter to pick the best dishes.
At this time, Hu Xiaorui, who had just come over, asked curiously, "Why are you so generous today? I thought you were going to eat steamed buns. "
Li Dong curled his lips and said, "What do you know? If this is in my house, I will definitely eat steamed buns. This is the company's canteen, of course, we have to eat good food to show others our food treatment. By the way, our canteen is free. Later, you have to explain more in the narration. Also, the good food I eat, don't say that only level 7 and above can enjoy it, just say that it is free for everyone. Bai Su … "
Bai Su quickly said, "General Manager Li, what's wrong?"
"Go outside and call a few cleaning aunties to come in and eat together. Open another table, and the food standard will be according to me. By the way, film it here. Just a glimpse is enough, no special explanation."
Everyone was suddenly speechless. Is it necessary to fake it?
Everyone was a little dumbfounded. In order to attract more people to join Far away, Big Boss Li really did not care about his face.
