"Then who do you think it is?"
Li Dong asked again. Seeing Yuan Chengdao's clueless attitude, Li Dong said calmly. "This kind of thing will not happen without the higher-ups.
And it's not just any higher-ups. I'm talking about the higher-ups who are level 10 and above.
Such a large-scale series of actions involving the three major groups, I think ordinary people cannot do it.
At least, without connections, they will not be able to contact the higher-ups of other groups.
The people involved should still be reputable in the group.
Everyone believes in him and believes that he can bring more benefits to everyone. Moreover, he will not be punished after the incident.
There should not be many people who dare to make such a promise to everyone, or should I say, make everyone feel that he can do it.
You?
You said you are not. I believe that unless you are preparing to resign, it will not be you.
Other than you, who else is in the board of directors?
It's impossible for Liu Qi. Tan Tao is the Chairman of the Union. Logically speaking, he should be the one to do this kind of thing for the welfare of the employees. But in fact, Tan Tao does not have that much prestige, so it's impossible.
Kong Xiangyu had just taken over, and it's already good enough that he can manage the logistics group.
The rest are Liu Hong, Liu Hongmei, Sun Tao, Wang Yue, Wu Shengnan, Chen Lang, and me.
There are only so many level 12 and 13 higher-ups, and these people have the most power and influence in the group.
Chen Lang?
Unlikely. Far away Retail has not been in charge for too long. I'm afraid he can't wait for the retail group to be as stable as a mountain.
Unless he is a commercial spy for Huarun Resources. Pretend I did not say this. The probability of this is negligible.
Liu Hongmei just entered the board of directors, but she has been the financial director for a long time. She still has power and connections. She can create such a scale with her connections.
Most importantly, there are no benefits.
So what if she succeeds? Can she go one step further and replace you or me?
Wu Shengnan … "
Speaking of Wu Shengnan, Li Dong paused for a while and said calmly. "It's certain that she is unhappy with me. It doesn't matter. I don't expect everyone to like me.
But I don't believe that she is the one who made the connections.
Firstly, Dong Yu Real Estate was weak to begin with. Even if she managed to form a connection, she and Dong Yu would not be able to benefit from it.
In addition, she and Shen Qian had a good personal relationship. If she was really found out, Shen Qian would not spare her.
Secondly, to put it bluntly, her presence Far away was not strong, and the probability of success was not high.
There was also Liu Hong. Actually, the possibility was not high either. Far away Technology's two subsidiaries were going to be listed. He was so busy that he did not have the time to deal with these matters.
Sun Tao and Wang Yue were the only ones who had a chance.
After all, the timing of this incident was when the 10 billion was used.
Originally, this sum of money was prepared for the expansion of the retail business, but now that the money was gone, all the preparatory work had been in vain. Would the two of them feel particularly disappointed, particularly angry, and particularly angry?
Tell me, between the two of them, who is involved, or both of them? "
Yuan Chengdao looked embarrassed. After a while, he said, "I don't think it's them …"
"That's you?"
"General Manager Li …"
Yuan Chengdao said helplessly, "Since it has already happened, no matter who it is, since it can cause a sensation, it means that there are indeed some problems with our policies.
Blindly high-pressure policies, blindly crazy expansion, these are all the reasons for the outbreak of this incident.
As for the person who connected the dots, this can only play the role of a guide, not a decisive role.
Since that's the case, there is no need to keep pursuing this matter.
This time, it's actually an opportunity to resolve our old ailments.
We have accumulated a lot of old problems in the early stage. This time, we should not blindly be tough, but use both the carrot and the stick.
Of course, I am not rejecting your plan. What I mean is, first, we should use the high-pressure policy to suppress the matter. At this time, we have eliminated some of the employees who are extremely hostile to us.
Next, we can implement our incentive plan.
Therefore, the incentive plan must be out quickly. Within three days of suppressing the matter, we must release a new plan.
Using the carrot and the stick together is the fundamental solution. Otherwise, if we only use the stick and blindly use high pressure, more problems will accumulate in the future. "
Li Dong did not continue to be tough. He nodded and said, "That's why you should be prepared. It's best if the incident with No. 1 does not happen. If it happens, suppress it immediately!
Unless the ordinary employees go overboard, they will not be held accountable.
As for the managers who are level 4 and above, as long as they participate, they will be given demerits and their rewards will be deducted. If it's serious, they will be fired!
Once we get rid of these leaders, the rest will not be a problem.
As for those who participate, I think there will not be many. After all, before the Tencent 100 million shares are issued, these managers know that they will be the biggest beneficiaries!
At this time, only those who are not confident and feel that they will not get many benefits will step forward.
Since these people are not confident, it means that their results are not good. It's good to get rid of them, and we don't have to evaluate and screen them ourselves.
This is also an opportunity for us to eliminate the sand.
At the final juncture where Faraway Lands was about to rise and bring everyone rewards, everyone was making a choice. I chose them, and they chose me.
In the end, who would stay and who would be the ultimate winner, it all depended on this time.
In addition, Far away's biggest problem is still the problem of funds and expansion.
Now, everyone has the time to let their imaginations run wild. Isn't it because our offline stores have not expanded much?
Fine, we will satisfy them!
Next, we will organize a negotiation team to go to Xiangjiang to negotiate with Hehuang to acquire their Baijia!
Also, we will organize a few teams to go to Suning, Five-Star, oh, and Gao Xin to discuss the acquisition … "
Yuan Chengdao was confused. He could understand the first part. Acquiring Baijia and opening up the Xiangjiang market was still necessary.
But what the hell is Suning and Five-Star?
Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Who the hell is Gao Xin!
Gao Xin Retail is a retail group jointly established by Hua Xia's RT-Mart and Auchan. Everyone knows about RT-Mart. Auchan is also the second largest retail group in France, only inferior to Carrefour.
Not only is it the second largest in France, but it is also one of the top large retail groups in the world.
When the world's top 100 retail list was released, Far Away's performance in 2008 was not as good as in 2009, so it was ranked at the bottom of the list.
Auchan, on the other hand, was ranked 13th on the world's top 100 retail list with 58 billion US dollars.
Li Dong actually asked Far Away to organize a team to discuss the acquisition with Gao Xin …
Yuan Chengdao was completely speechless. What is going on?
Gao Xin is doing quite well in Hua Xia. Far Away is now the number one retail company in Hua Xia, followed by the three giants, Suning, Bailian, and Huarun.
After that, it is Gao Xin and Wal-Mart.
After that, there are Shang, Wumart, Alliance of Merchants … Although these retail companies are known as the top retail giants, they are limited to a small area and have not expanded to the whole country.
In other words, the current Hua Xia is competing with the six retail giants.
Far Away is also the only company that is doing both. They are doing department stores and home appliances, and they are doing a lot of them. They have their own focus on the other areas.
Gao Xin is able to enter the top 6, and its performance is quite good. It also has the backing of capital and is in a better position than Gome. How can it be sold?
Gao Xin is not Carrefour, so they are not in any danger. But when Li Dong suddenly mentioned negotiating with Gao Xin, Yuan Chengdao was naturally dumbfounded.
Seeing Yuan Chengdao's blank face, Li Dong smiled faintly. "It's nothing. It's just a smokescreen.
Although we all know about the acquisition of Baijia, outsiders don't know about it.
So, in order to prevent them from causing trouble for us, I spent more money and organized some teams to go to Hua Xia to negotiate. This way, others will be confused for a while.
Also, everyone says that I, Li Dong, have been quiet. Even those Far Away can't sit still.
Then I will stir up some trouble!
This time, I will exaggerate the situation. I will say that I want to integrate the Hua Xia retail market and acquire a few large retail giants.
Gao Xin, Wal-Mart, Suning … … are all part of my plan!
Anyway, they will not sell, and we will not buy. We are just negotiating. What's there to be afraid of?
If they really want to sell, I will sell everything I have to raise money to buy them back. That's even better.
That's why we only need to pay the price of organizing a team, and we will get free publicity.
Didn't you say that we are not doing anything?
Let's show them just how strong we are!
Other than a few state-owned enterprises, I want you to negotiate and acquire all Hua Xia companies.
This time, I want to see who still thinks that I have given up on Far Away's retail business!
With both sides attacking, I don't believe that we can't settle down. "
"Once Baijia agrees to the acquisition, the funding problem … …"
"I'll call Old Li. I'll definitely give him the money. Before they carry out their plan, my money will be in my account. But not now. Let's give them some time first. If not, I will wait for Weibo and Tencent to get listed, and I will use my shares as collateral. That should be the time for the acquisition. Far Away Retail might not have the money, but Far Away Holdings has it. I, Li Dong, have it! "
Hearing Li Dong's words, Yuan Chengdao felt more relaxed. With internal suppression and external attacks, and the promotion of welfare policies, as long as the methods are not too harsh, this incident should be resolved.
Just as Yuan Chengdao was thinking about this, Li Dong suddenly said. "I don't care who organized this. I am too lazy to think about it.
This is also a clean up before we expand. It's pretty good.
But not thinking about it doesn't mean it did not happen.
I don't care who it is because we had just touched the board of directors, and it's not convenient to do anything.
But for those below level 12, I don't care if they are wronged or have poor performance. Just pick a group of them and make an example out of them!
I am also annoyed that these people are getting paid for doing nothing. Don't blame me for being ruthless! "
Hearing that, Yuan Chengdao really couldn't stand it anymore. He said innocently, "Manager Li, what do you mean by being wronged? Am I that kind of person?
When you say such things, can you consider my feelings?
As the CEO of Far Away, everything I do is for the benefit of the company.
From what you said, you sound like I only know how to fight for power and wronged people.
All these years, I had just fired a group of old people. At that time, I was willing to be the scapegoat.
But that is not because of fighting. You are saying that we are fighting, and this is not the truth!
How about this? Why don't you tell me who you don't like to fire, and I will take the blame? "
Yuan Chengdao wanted to vomit blood. Li Dong's words made it sound like he had been eliminating dissidents.
It was fine for others to think this way, but it was not good for Li Dong to think the same way.
Li Dong laughed. "You are not that kind of person, and neither am I.
Anyway, there are definitely people involved in this. There is no doubt about that.
If we have something on them, we will release them. This should not be a problem, right?
We will take back their shares and incentives to save us some expenses.
"A few years ago, we poached people everywhere, regardless of good or bad. We poached all kinds of people.
"Now, we are not lacking people, but we are lacking true elites. These people are not capable, and it does not matter if they leave or not.
"But after poaching people, if we suddenly ask them to leave and say that they are not capable enough, isn't that like slapping our own faces?
"It is good to use this opportunity to clean up a group of people.
"This time, after we clean up a group, Far Away will be much quieter, and it will be quiet for a long time. In addition to our expansion plan, Far Away will not have any problems in the next one or two years.
"After one or two years, if there are any more problems, I will not target them. The board of directors will undergo another major operation!
"Don't blame me for not telling you in advance. If you want power, I can give it to you.
"The premise is still the same premise. You can only take it if I give it to you.
"If I don't give it to you, then bear with it. If you can't hold it in anymore, tell me that you want to find a better job. I will not stop you, and we can even part on good terms. I will give you an explanation.
"That's all I have to say. Pass this message to the rest of the board of directors.
"This time, I will not investigate further, but there are some things I know. If there is a next time, don't blame me, Li Dong, for getting rid of the donkey after it has outlived its usefulness!"
Yuan Chengdao's face turned serious. He did not say anything and slowly nodded.
…
That night, Li Dong returned home very late.
Yuan Chengdao passed on Li Dong's message that night.
As for what the rest of the board of directors thought, it was not within Yuan Chengdao's consideration.
He only knew that Far Away was going to make a big move again.
Acquiring Top 100 wasn't a small matter.
The key wasn't Top 100, but the information that Li Dong wanted him to collect.
This time, Li Dong had set up so many negotiation teams. It might not be for naught. First, he had to do some preparatory work and observe the negotiation team's ability and standard.
Perhaps, soon, these negotiation teams would be able to be of use.
Then, he thought about the proposal that Li Dong asked them to prepare at the Association. Yuan Chengdao vaguely had some ideas.
But where would the money come from?
Where would the people be?
The profits might not reach the requirements either.
Was it really necessary just to increase the revenue?
Or, as Li Dong had said, he only wanted a platform to prove himself. As for wealth, it was not within his consideration.
But was there any meaning to this short-term prosperity?
At this moment, Yuan Chengdao was at a loss. He suddenly realized that these people did not understand Li Dong at all.
What did Li Dong want, what did he want to achieve?
In the past, he thought it was wealth.
But ever since Li Dong ascended to the position of the richest man in China, his pursuit of wealth seemed to have disappeared. Now, he rarely talked about these things.
After wealth, what did Li Dong pursue?
Since ancient times, fame and wealth were always together. Could it be that Li Dong was pursuing a greater fame, even if it was just a temporary rise in fame?
Yuan Chengdao thought for a long time, but he could not really understand Li Dong's thoughts.
That night, Yuan Chengdao did not sleep. He was slightly at a loss about his future.
