After chatting with Sun Tao for a while, Li Dong's tone was not too harsh. However, when the two left, their expressions were obviously different from before.
Outside the hotel.
Wang Yue whispered, "CEO Yuan has been in charge of the headquarters these days. He is organized, efficient, and has done a good job in all aspects. After the establishment of the executive committee, a lot of big things have been done. In less than three months, almost all the tasks assigned by General Manager Li have been successfully achieved. I think … "
Wang Yue did not finish her sentence.
It was no secret that Li Dong wanted to retire early and enjoy life.
In fact, in some executive meetings, Li Dong had revealed these thoughts.
Far away had entered its sixth year. In six years, Li Dong could actually give it a try.
It was not impossible to retreat to the second line and watch for a year or two to smoothly complete the transition.
Once Li Dong left, who would be in charge of such a large group? How could no one be tempted?
Far Away, which claimed to be a trillion-dollar group, was almost a small country.
Today, Far Away's employees had begun to move towards 300,000 or even 400,000 people, and its business was spread all over the world.
The influence of the group was growing. Once they became the second generation leader of Far Away after Li Dong, their social status would be far from comparable.
If Sun Tao was not tempted, he would not have come to the South.
If Yuan Chengdao was not tempted, he would have left long ago when his power was extremely compressed.
Was Wang Yue not tempted?
If she was not tempted, she would not have given up her position as the group's director and was still running around for Gome's affairs.
Those who were qualified to take over the position were all working hard and fighting for it.
In Faraway Group, the truly qualified and qualified candidates for the succession were now a few members of the board.
However, Liu Qi had no chance. Kong Xiangyu of the logistics group had just been promoted, and there should be no hope.
Among the others, Yuan Chengdao, Sun Tao, Wang Yue, Chen Lang, Liu Hong, and Wu Shengnan, the order of these names represented the probability of being promoted.
In fact, Yuan Chengdao had a higher chance than Sun Tao.
Even though Yuan Chengdao didn't seem to be famous in recent years and hadn't made any big movements, no one dared to ignore him.
When Li Dong charged and conquered the world, Yuan Chengdao sat in the rear and stabilized the Faraway Group. In this regard, he was not any weaker than Li Dong.
For a company that had been established for more than five years to be able to rapidly expand to this point, it was not enough to simply rely on charging ahead.
How could Li Dong not know that Yuan Chengdao could stabilize the situation from the rear?
If Li Dong didn't know, he wouldn't have set up an executive committee and delegated power.
A few years ago, Li Dong was very unhappy with Yuan Chengdao.
If the other party wasn't introduced by Shen Qian, Li Dong might have fired Yuan Chengdao long ago.
But now, Li Dong almost didn't mention this. It could be seen that when Yuan Chengdao settled down, his ability was at least recognized by Li Dong.
However, the greater the hope of Yuan Chengdao, the smaller the hope of Sun Tao.
In other words, Wang Yue's hope was getting smaller and smaller.
Therefore, in Wang Yue's view, she actually didn't want to see a situation where one company was dominant. If one company was dominant, then the others had almost no chance.
The two of them were equal, and the third party had a chance to rise.
Li Dong probably wouldn't leave the decision-making team immediately. At least, he had to wait until some things were settled before he would step down.
If the battle for the Internet could end this year, there would be another big battle in the industry next year. At that time, it would probably be the time for Li Dong to let go.
This wasn't a long time. Before that, Li Dong would definitely choose a successor.
Therefore, no matter who wanted to go up, they had to make visible results within one or two years.
Wang Yue didn't finish her words, but Sun Tao had a plan in his mind.
Standing at the door for a while, Sun Tao said in a deep voice, "I still need your help in the South. In fact, in my opinion, not only do we need to integrate the resources of department stores and home appliances, these are not enough!
Faraway Group is a whole!
Home appliances, department stores, shopping malls, logistics, including some production companies we control, as well as publicity and promotion channels, together, we are invincible Faraway Group!
General Manager Li's goal was very clear. He wanted to become a unique retail company, both online and offline.
The goal was almost achieved online, but offline, it was a long way off.
Only by defeating several giant companies in the South, could the goal be achieved offline.
Therefore, in fact, whether it is the Tencent War, Ali, or other industries, it is not our main goal.
In the eyes of others, it was a battle of life and death. In fact, in the eyes of General Manager Li, these were all chess pieces that were randomly placed to perfect the layout.
In the end, the goal is still targeted at retail.
Therefore, whoever can win the South market, thereby opening the door to the international market, will be the biggest hero Faraway! "
Sun Tao wasn't stupid. He had already seen through some things.
Faraway seemed to have a lot of goals now. Logistics, the Internet, real estate …
But in fact, in the past six years, the goal Faraway had not changed!
Retail, or new retail, was the core of Faraway.
Everything else was in service of this core.
The expansion and diversification of the industry was also carried out with the new retail as the core.
PP and other related industries were just communication software created to solve the communication problem between customers and shopping malls.
Where the core of Faraway was, outsiders were still a little confused. But Sun Tao, who entered Faraway from the beginning, had never been confused.
So far, the offline market in the South was also the hardest bone to chew.
If companies like Ali and Tencent were given another five years, it would be more difficult to deal with them.
At that time, these Internet giants had diversified their industry layout. They were involved in online and offline activities, both physical and virtual economies.
But now, the situation was completely different.
Tencent's current layout was still relatively simple. With other businesses being suppressed Far away, the other party's main business was still instant messaging, the instant messaging on the PC side.
It was the same for Ali.
The Internet payment business was occupied, the online shopping business was squeezed, and the B2B business was affected by the global economy. At the moment, it was not doing too well.
At that time, Ali and Tencent were actually not as strong as Baidu.
Baidu had really achieved a monopoly in the search engine business. Ali and Tencent, on the other hand, could not do this because of the existence of Far away. At most, they could only compete with each other on an equal footing.
Internet companies could not be unique and could not be a monopoly, so their deterrence was not too great.
On the contrary, in the offline area, in Sun Tao's opinion, it was more difficult to deal with.
China Resources, Bailian, Suning, Wal-Mart, Gaoxin … any of these companies was currently not weaker than Ali and Tencent, or even stronger.
Far away wanted to unify the offline area, which was the biggest difficulty.
And the South was the focus of the offline area.
He was sent to Shanghai by Li Dong to oversee the South at this time, which was enough to show Li Dong's trust and attention to him.
But the more trust and attention, the more rigorous the test.
If he did not do well this time, forget about competing for the position of chairman, he might not even be able to keep his current position as the vice president.
At that time, Li Dong's joke would probably be true, and he would retire with him and enjoy life.
But Sun Tao and Li Dong were different. Li Dong was already standing at the peak, and the world was worshipping him. He had already enjoyed the feeling of being at the peak.
Especially after he unified the retail market in Hua Xia, people would remember the legend of Li Dong for decades or even a hundred years.
He retired because he was the only one who wanted to be defeated, and there were no more goals to surpass.
Could Sun Tao compare to Li Dong?
He was only 40 years old, and a man at this age had not completely lost his career.
Therefore, Sun Tao still wanted to take a gamble!
And in the South, and even in the entire group, it was also crucial to get Wang Yue's support.
Now, the other directors were in charge of their own things, and the people who really had the right to speak in the entire group were not Li Dong, but Yuan Chengdao, Sun Tao, and the last person was Wang Yue.
Although she was in Gome now, it would not take long for her to return.
Because of this, Sun Tao naturally hoped to get Wang Yue's support.
Wang Yue glanced at him, and after a while, she said with a faint smile, "If you had this determination back then, we might really be a couple."
Sun Tao's cheeks twitched, and he said in a muffled voice, "The premise is that you are willing to be the woman behind my back, and you will not be willing, so we are destined not to be together."
This was a common problem of men, or rather, the social environment was like this.
When men were ambitious and career-minded, their other half was almost always a housewife.
Even if they were not, when a man's career started, they had to be!
Did the wives of Internet giants like Ma Yun and Ma Huateng start off as housewives?
No!
When they first started their businesses, their wives contributed a lot, and some even played a crucial role in the early stages.
But in the later stages, these women automatically retired.
It was the same for the big shots in the industry.
Take Old Huang for example. Before he fell, Du Juan actually did not participate much in the management of the company.
Later, she reappeared, but that was because Old Huang fell.
In the early stages of Li Dong, Shen Qian was the same, but after Li Dong rose and gained a firm foothold, Shen Qian automatically retired. This was also the wisdom of women.
For women, when a man was ambitious, and his ambition was realized, he should not have too much ambition.
That was why Sun Tao said that he and Wang Yue were destined not to be together.
Even if Sun Tao did not have ambition, a strong woman was not his first choice. Successful men rarely chose a strong woman as their other half.
…
The conversation between Sun Tao and Wang Yue was actually a portrayal of Li Dong and Qin Yuhan.
Qin Yuhan did not necessarily want to be a strong woman, but there was a kind of unwillingness in her bones.
When her other half had average achievements, Qin Yuhan might not necessarily have any ideas. In fact, she could also accept an ordinary life.
But when her other half went further and higher, the unwillingness in her bones would make Qin Yuhan feel that she was not worthy of the other party, so she also hoped to go further and higher.
Maybe in her opinion, this would make her more worthy of the other party.
But the reality was that this was not the scene that men wanted to see.
Just like Li Dong, his career was already very big. At this time, what he desired more was actually a kind of companionship, a kind of confiding, a warm haven.
He hoped that when he was tired, tired, tired … there would be someone by his side to listen to him nagging, to listen to him vent his dissatisfaction, and to listen to him complain.
When his clothes were wrinkled, this woman could help him gently smooth them.
When he went out, this woman could say, "Be careful on the road."
When he went home, this woman could say, "Dinner is ready, let's eat."
All of this, it was not that Qin Yuhan could not do it, but perhaps Li Dong did not give her the time, did not give her the opportunity.
Time could change a person.
However, in the time of change, when he met another woman who met all his requirements, some things naturally changed.
…
In the restaurant.
When Qin Yuhan saw Li Dong staring at her, she couldn't help but touch her cheek and said with a smile, "What's wrong, is there something on your face?"
"No."
Li Dong shook his head and said softly, "You have the style of a strong woman, and you are becoming more and more capable."
Qin Yuhan chuckled and said, "I'm not that good. I remember when I opened the dessert house, you said the same thing. Now, I'm a little curious, in your heart, do you hate this kind of change? "
"Not really."
Li Dong shook his head again, and then said with a smile, "I admire and admire strong women.
Far away, including some strong women in the business world, I admire and admire them very much.
It is not easy for a woman to make a career.
Not to mention that they have to give more than men, sometimes it is difficult to get the recognition of society.
When a woman's career is big, it is inevitable that there will be some rumors. Who did this woman rely on? Did this woman rely on someone? Did this woman have an affair with someone?
But no matter who she relied on, or who she had an affair with, it is all about ability!
A woman without ability won't be able to rise even if she relies on God.
Therefore, I admire these women because they have a strong heart, stronger than men. Perhaps, when faced with setbacks, they can face them more bravely. "
When Li Dong said this, Qin Yuhan raised her head to look at him and said, "It's only admiration and appreciation, but it lacks love, right?"
Li Dong laughed and said, "You can't love everyone. Loving someone will not be affected by these external factors. These external factors don't affect love or not. "
Qin Yuhan also said with a smile, "That's true. These external factors only affect life. Loving someone doesn't mean that you have to be with him, and love is not the same as marriage. Love and marriage are actually two different things. Marriage is life, but love is not. My understanding is not wrong, right? "
Li Dong did not reply and buried his head in his meal.
Qin Yuhan sneered and said, "If I didn't know, I would think that you haven't eaten for many days. Is it that delicious?
You have always been like this.
Up to this day, I have already gotten over it and let it go, but you still can't let it go.
You look strong on the outside, but you are weak on the inside. Outsiders don't understand you at all.
You have times of failure. When you fail, you don't care, but it doesn't mean that you are strong on the inside. That is just what you lose because of failure, and it is not what you value.
I think you can accept the failure of your career.
A long time ago, I realized that your pursuit of career does not seem to be a pursuit of dreams.
How should I put it? Perhaps it is not appropriate, but I still think of a word: game.
This feeling is actually very sudden. Far away has achieved what it is today. Outsiders think that you have given so much for Far Away because you have a strong career and ambition.
Far Away is also where your dreams lie.
But to me, it is more like a game.
This feeling came so suddenly that many times I even suspected that I was mistaken.
But this feeling was just that strong.
Actually, in my eyes, you have never been the kind of man who has a strong pursuit of career. On the contrary, you should like a simple life with some ups and downs.
I used to think that I understood you, but when your career became bigger and bigger, until now, I realized that I did not seem to understand you at all.
Li Dong, sometimes, time can really change everything, don't you think? "
"Maybe."
Li Dong wiped his mouth and said with a light smile, "Maybe it is not because of time. In a person's life, there will always be some unexpected things. Of course, this is not the main point. The main point is that I am full. Can you accompany me for a walk? "
"It is my honor. As long as Mr. Richest Man is not afraid of being photographed by the media and people looking for trouble."
Qin Yuhan smiled mischievously. Such a smile had not appeared on her face for a long time.
Staring at her for a while, Li Dong said after a while, "Smile more. Don't change yourself because of me. Be your true self. If one day, you really feel that I have restricted your freedom, you can tell me. Of course, it is hard to say whether I will listen to you. "
Rolling her eyes at him, Qin Yuhan said sourly, "Don't use words to cover up the weakness in your heart. If I want to leave, I will naturally leave. If it really comes to that moment, I am afraid that you, with your weak heart, can only look at my back with tears in your eyes. Do you really think that a few words of threat can cover up your fear and weakness? You're the type of person I'm talking about. "
Sighing, Li Dong got up and said, "Let's go. I don't want to bicker with you. It has been many years, and I have defeated many people, but I don't think I have taken advantage of you. Women, it is not good to be too eloquent. "
Qin Yuhan picked up her handbag and stood up. As she walked, she said with a smile, "Because I've hit your weak spot. Ever since you were scared half to death by a bamboo snake, I knew that you're not a strong man from beginning to end."
Li Dong's face was a little dark, but he did not reply and quickly walked out.
Behind him, Qin Yuhan let out a burst of sweet-sounding laughter.
