In the conference room.
After explaining the main direction, Li Dong continued, "Next, Haiying will lead the team to Shenzhen and strive to take over Paipai Network."
The so-called complete, the most important thing was naturally the merchants.
The key to a third-party platform was the number of merchants and products. As for the consumers, they could completely drain them.
Far away had a lot of experience in draining customers and had formed a set of familiar processes.
Tan Haiying responded. Li Dong said, "Mr. Cao, you go with them."
Cao Jinsheng nodded. He knew the reason why Li Dong wanted him to go.
Paypal's entry into Far Away Mall this time was not a small matter.
For e-commerce, the online system alone, payment products were the key.
Payment products involved funds and business data. Far Away Mall and Wanjia Network were connected to Paypal. This was one of the conditions that Li Dong and Ma Huateng reached in Shenzhen.
However, access was access. A payment product, even if it was connected to a platform, did not mean that it would definitely have traffic and customers.
Today's e-commerce platforms, if they had their own payment products, would default to their own payment products as the first choice.
If it really did not work, these e-commerce platforms would rather choose UnionPay than other third-party payment systems.
It was not a big problem for the business data to be controlled by UnionPay. However, once it was known by other companies, they could analyze a lot of things.
The company's business situation, customer information, even profit, as well as the sales of the platform's products, would be controlled and analyzed by them.
Companies naturally did not want such data to be leaked out.
Moreover, there was another problem, the settlement of funds.
There was no need to talk about third-party merchants. This settlement had little to do with Far Away. However, the settlement of funds for self-operated products was related to Far Away.
Payment products such as Alipay and Wanjia Network had a settlement cycle when they entered other platforms.
During this cycle, the funds would be deposited in other people's payment accounts.
It did not matter if the business was small. However, for Li Dong and the rest, tens of billions of funds were flowing into other people's companies. How could they really feel at ease?
Regardless of whether it was Tencent or Ali, no matter how well they did in the future, it was still the future.
It was not impossible for them to suddenly go bankrupt in this life.
Once such a situation occurred, it would be troublesome.
Li Dong asked Cao Jinsheng, the CEO of the Finance Department, to go there personally to fight for better conditions for Far away.
Last time, he and Ma Huateng had only talked about a general idea, and the specific implementation still needed to be discussed.
The Wealth Link was connected to the Far Away Mall. Actually, there was a huge difference in how the Wealth Link was connected.
After reminding the two of them, Li Dong finally said, "Everyone, let's discuss one last thing. I can't make a decision on this matter for now, so please help me consider it."
Everyone immediately perked up.
It was rare to see something that even Li Dong wasn't sure about.
Seeing that they were all focused, Li Dong slowly said, "Now that the group is getting bigger and bigger, we have been making some minor adjustments for the past few years. The real change was at the end of 2007. We did a large-scale adjustment, and the business was meticulously divided.
After that, including the establishment of the four major groups, it was just a general division, and there were no large-scale changes.
"This time, the business we opened up gradually increased, and the number of temporary departments also increased, resulting in staff redundancy and multiple management.
"The retail department can command e-commerce, the real estate department can command retail, and in the end, they all started to command logistics.
"In the end, some employees don't even know who they should listen to.
"Also, the chaos in the business also caused chaos in the accounts.
"The logistics group works for the shopping mall and retail, and everyone is on the same side, so it can be cheaper, can be free, can be free …
"In the end, we realized that the logistics group did not have any performance, and even suffered losses.
"Also, this way, the tax revenue also increased, and all sorts of situations happened in Far Away.
"In addition, we will be bringing in a group of collaborators soon, and these things have to be clear.
"Otherwise, if one of them says that the logistics group is free, and the other says that Far Away City will be counted as a retail group, what will happen in the end? "Who will bear this responsibility?
"So, I thought for a while and wanted to make a clear division.
"Those who need to set up subsidiaries will set up subsidiaries, and those who need to set up branch companies will set up branch companies.
"In addition, when it comes to running a business, you can't do it all at once.
"In the past, there was no other way, and doing it all at once could save costs.
"Now, if we do it all at once, it will be a complete mess later."
"Indeed," Yuan Chengdao nodded and said, "Actually, I sent you a report on the management of the group previously. I don't know if you have read it?"
Li Dong nodded and said, "I have read it. It is precisely because I read this report that I said I wanted to discuss it. "According to some of my previous ideas, I actually did not plan to make any large-scale changes. "But I have finished reading the document you brought, and I realized that there is still a need to make some clear divisions."
Knowing that Li Dong had read the document, Yuan Chengdao heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Then we can do a detailed analysis of the group's business, and make a clear division of the accounts.
"This is actually a lot of benefits for us. For some reasonable tax avoidance measures, we can take out clear materials to apply.
"Another thing is the problem of multiple management and staff redundancy.
"Previously, as the president of the retail region Far away, he could be in charge of logistics, real estate, warehousing, and the local e-commerce department.
"One person did the work of a few people, but in fact, he was still the regional president of the retail group.
"This is completely not in line with the business management rules.
"Otherwise, we can make clear the other party's position, the president of the main group region.
"Otherwise, we can make it clear that the other party only manages his own area. The regional president, there are retail region president, logistics region president, real estate region president …
"No matter what, we have to make clear the responsibilities and functions in place.
"In the end, there will be a situation where the responsibility is shifted and the management is chaotic."
Hearing his words, the group's human resources director, Song Jie, also nodded and said, "Director Yuan is right. The human resources aspect is indeed a problem. "All kinds of cross management gives us a headache too. "There is even a situation where the general manager of the retail branch does not know where he should go for the meeting. "Is it the logistics side? Or the retail side? Or the real estate group? Because he usually manages it! "
Everyone spoke one after another, but Chen Lang and the other people from the retail group did not say a word.
These people said that the management was chaotic and needed to be clearly divided, but in fact, they were still weakening the power of the retail group.
In the past, regional CEOs like Qi Yunna had unimaginable power.
In the North China region, Qi Yunna could command the entire Far away system, including its real estate, logistics, e-commerce, industrial, and many other business departments.
Far away, the four major sub-groups were said to be on equal footing, but in fact, the retail group had the highest status.
The few regional presidents were not any less powerful than Wu Shengnan and the others.
As for Chen Lang, Sun Tao, Wang Yue, these powerful people, they were in fact in the retail group.
Including the management like Tan Haiying, they could barely be considered in the retail system.
In this way, the group power formed by these people was very terrifying.
In addition, almost the entire group was serving the retail group, causing the other groups to be unable to make ends meet. Their debts were getting higher and higher, but their income was not increasing.
Take Dong Yu Real Estate for example. In order to build the Far away City plan, they had invested a lot.
In fact, in essence, this was to serve the retail group. In fact, the management authority of Far away City was also in the hands of the retail group.
To put it nicely, Dong Yu Real Estate was a developer, but in fact, it was a worker.
They spent money to build the city complex, and then handed the project over to the retail group.
A long time ago, such a battle had erupted in the distance.
At that time, Shen Qian was still here, and there was also an internal fight. Now that the group was getting bigger and bigger, the retail group's share was getting bigger and bigger, which had already made the others very dissatisfied.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that Li Dong and Yuan Chengdao talked about this, everyone immediately began to speak up enthusiastically, fighting for the greatest benefits for themselves.
For Li Dong to raise this point at this time, it was obvious that he knew that the smell of gunpowder inside was a little heavy.
In the past few days, he had actually not only received a document from Yuan Chengdao, but also Wu Shengnan, Liu Hong, and some others had also submitted documents to him.
It was because of this appeal that Li Dong chose to talk about this at this time.
At the end of 2007, Li Dong made a big adjustment, and the various departments and the embryonic forms of the various groups were actually formed at that time.
Now, more than a year had passed, but Far Away had expanded several times.
More than a year had passed, and other companies could still continue the old system, but Far Away could not.
If this problem was not solved, Far Away was likely to have a senior management war before it broke out externally.
…
After waiting for a while, Li Dong gently knocked on the table and said, "So, all of you think that it is necessary to reorganize?"
Yuan Chengdao said frankly, "I think it is very necessary."
Many people nodded, and many were silent.
"Then should we reorganize the four major sub-groups, or start from the entire group?"
"Reorganize!"
Yuan Chengdao did not even think about it and said, "Coincidentally, aren't you going to merge with Gome into the retail group? Far Away Mall was split again, and you said before that you intend to split the logistics part. This way, the entire system will be in chaos. Instead of fine-tuning, why don't we do a large-scale reorganization? "
Chen Lang from the retail group and Kong Xiangyu from the logistics group frowned and did not say anything.
Yuan Chengdao wanted to reduce their authority, and this was actually normal.
Retail and logistics had a lot of authority now, and Yuan Chengdao was about to set up the executive committee. At this time, he needed to establish his authority and make the executive committee live up to its name and not just look like an empty shell.
Yuan Chengdao also seized the opportunity. Li Dong wanted him to set up the executive committee, and the purpose was to centralize the management.
If the chairman of the sub-group had too much authority, it was not a good thing for the headquarters, and it was not a good thing for Li Dong to manage the entire group.
If they could limit their authority, Li Dong would also support it.
This had nothing to do with suppression. In fact, in other companies, they should have weakened their authority long ago.
It was just that Far Away had been developing too fast in the past few years, and to make it more convenient for them to carry out their tasks, they reduced the number of meetings, which resulted in the current situation.
Seeing that no one said anything, Li Dong said, "Then let's do a reorganization as a whole.
Currently, Far Away Retail has two major systems. One is the original department store system, and the other is the newly added Gome home appliances system.
The warehousing and distribution centers had been assigned to the logistics group a long time ago, and they are managed by the logistics group.
The other is the industrial sector. Far Away Industries was established in 2008, and it has not been well known, and the outside world does not know much about it.
This sector was previously included in the Far Away Retail Group, but it was separated later on.
This is because I do not want to put the supply and distribution channels together, as it will easily cause a series of problems.
This is the offline retail sector, and there is also Dong Yu Real Estate. Dong Yu Real Estate is not considered complicated now.
Far Away City is the main project, and the other is the property management company, construction company, and a limited number of residential real estate.
Of course, it also includes some fixed assets, such as the Far Away Building and Greenland Building.
As for the logistics sector, it includes logistics and express delivery. The express delivery side can also be divided into e-commerce express delivery and ordinary express delivery. There is also the Far Away Logistics Park, and Far Away Airlines.
Other than that, there is the large-scale warehousing center and the supermarket distribution center.
Finally, there is the internet industry.
Excluding Weibo and the shopping mall, we have previously set up seven business groups. The e-commerce business group has been canceled because the shopping mall was split up.
But the online media business group with Weibo is still there, and it mainly focuses on portals and browsers.
All in all, we have a lot of business.
Oh yes, we should also add the Distance Charitable Fund.
After looking through some of the documents, I have a preliminary plan. I will tell you, and you can listen to it. See if it will work. "
Everyone listened carefully. This is the last internal division of power and interests before the external war breaks out.
Based on Li Dong's character and the fact that frequent changes are not good for the group, there will not be any major changes in the next two to three years if they are unable to fight for the greatest benefits this time.
Some minor adjustments are still possible, but the overall structure should be fixed.
"I thought about it and finally decided to set up the Far Away Department Store, Far away Gome Home Appliances, Far away Industries, Far away Logistics, Far away Express, Far away Warehousing, Far away Airlines, Far away Commercial Real Estate, Far away Residential Real Estate, Far away Property, Far away Construction, Far away Weibo, Far away Finance, Far away E-Commerce, and Far away Communications.
In addition, Far away Headquarters Group will make some minor adjustments and set up a new Far away Holdings Limited.
Far away Holdings will still set up four sub-groups.
Department stores and home appliances will still belong to Far away Retail Group.
Logistics, express, warehousing, and aviation will belong to Far away Logistics Group.
Commercial Real Estate, Residential Real Estate, Property, and Construction will belong to Dongyu Real Estate.
Weibo, Finance, E-commerce, and Communications will belong to Far away Technology.
Other departments and businesses that have not set up independent subsidiaries will continue to maintain the current model according to their original ownership. "
After Li Dong finished, the others began to think about it.
At present, it seemed that there were no changes.
It was just that a few more subsidiaries were set up. In fact, the division of rights seemed to be the same as before, and it belonged to whoever was supposed to.
But in fact, there were still quite a few changes.
The establishment of a subsidiary meant that the sub-group could no longer be directly managed, but there was an additional process. This resulted in the decentralization of power, and the boss of the subsidiary had a lot of power.
As for the chairmen of the sub-group, their authority was weakened.
Also, Far away Airlines was directly transferred to the Logistics Group. It was unknown how Lan Xingguo would consider it.
Finally, the key was still the change in Faraway Group. Don't look at it as just a name, this was a change in quality.
From a limited company to a holding company, these were different concepts and natures.
Far away Limited Company became Far away Holdings, and the difference between the two was huge.
In fact, this was also a manifestation of a clear division of functions.
From then on, Far away Holdings could not directly intervene in the business of the sub-group as it was now.
There would be an additional process in the middle, which was actually a restriction on the headquarters.
Perhaps it was related to the establishment of the executive committee. Li Dong wanted to turn the headquarters into a decision-making and implementation agency, rather than the status of the actual operator.
The headquarters was only responsible for the formulation and implementation of the strategy, as well as guidance.
The actual management rights were delegated to the sub-group.
As for the rights of the subsidiary group, a part of it was divided among the subsidiary companies.
Overall, everyone actually had some losses, but it was not much, and it was shared among everyone.
As for the authority, it was reduced, and the authority of the people below would increase.
Of course, the supreme Li Dong's authority did not decrease, and instead, he got rid of some practical management problems.
In the future, he would need to deal with a lot less documents.
At this time, Far away even had to report the business of some subsidiaries to Li Dong.
But after the establishment of the holding group, after layers of advancement, there were fewer undecided matters in his hands.
Generally, large groups would change in this direction in the later stages, and it was not too sudden.
The head of a large group was not a real iron man. Li Dong was still young, and it was still okay now. If he continued like this, he would have endless documents to deal with even if he died from exhaustion.
Yuan Chengdao thought for a while, and finally asked curiously, "General Manager Li, what about Far away Industries?"
He had just distributed 14 subsidiaries, and there was still one that Li Dong did not mention.
Li Dong smiled and said, "Far away Industries is not fully controlled. I thought about it, in the future, we may change Far away Industries into Far away Investment Company, which will be used to control the companies that we have shares in but do not have absolute control over. Including the shares of the other retail companies, I will consider giving the shares to Far away Investment Company. "
Yuan Chengdao nodded and did not say anything.
It was necessary to set up an investment company.
If Li Dong did not take away OPPO's shares in the past, the investment company should be the controlling shareholder now. But there was no need to say this.
Generally, when a group was involved in many companies, they will set up an investment company to hold the controlling shares. This way, they can avoid some troubles and problems.
There were a total of 15 subsidiaries, 4 sub-groups, and hundreds of branch companies. This way, the hierarchy of Far away will be clear.
But Yuan Chengdao was not concerned about this now. What he was concerned about was how to arrange the personnel.
If he set up a few more subsidiaries, there will be changes in the positions.
What changes?
Who will be the top and who will be the bottom?
Or will the previous department head become the head of the subsidiaries?
Now, the boss of a subsidiary is Far away's third level, and it is also the core management level. The position of the boss of any subsidiary is not to be underestimated.
Especially the bosses of some larger subsidiaries, such as department stores, home appliances, Far away e-commerce, Far away finance. These few subsidiaries were considered giants.
As the boss of these subsidiaries, his position and authority will not be weaker than Dong Yu Real Estate and Logistics Group.
Even if these two subsidiaries have 4 subsidiaries, which is more than the other two sub-groups, it will not change the fact that they are weaker than the other two sub-groups.
Now, it all depends on whether Li Dong will make any big changes.
Yuan Chengdao didn't know what Li Dong was thinking. When Li Dong was around, the board of directors existed in name only. This was a fact.
If Li Dong wants to make a big change, the Board of Directors will not be able to stop him.
For a while, everyone waited quietly.
