At the same time.
East Garden.
Pingchuan, which had just cleared up two days ago, was once again drizzling.
After the winter solstice, the weather in Pingchuan became colder day by day.
Wang Jie, who had stayed in Shanghai for more than half a year, returned to Pingchuan with his family.
Since Li Dong's wedding, Wang Jie had not returned. When Li Le was born, Shanghai happened to be in the midst of planning. Other than a few phone calls to congratulate him, he did not return.
Now it was almost the end of the Gregorian calendar, and 2009 was about to end. Wang Jie and the others had returned to the headquarters to report.
Wang Jie's son had just turned three a few days ago. According to Pingchuan's calculations, in a few days, after the New Year, he would be five years old.
Looking at the little guy running around Little Shitou and calling him sister, sister, sister, Li Dong smiled and said with some emotion, "Time is really a butcher's knife. In the blink of an eye, the little guy has grown so big. The days when I was in school seem to have passed not long ago. But now, the child can already play with soy sauce. "
Although Wang Jie was still young, after a few years of experience, he had matured a lot. In order to maintain his deterrence, he had even grown a beard.
With a touch of doting in his eyes, he looked at his son. After waiting for Li Dong to finish speaking, Wang Jie smiled and said, "Indeed, when I didn't have children, I didn't feel that time passed quickly. But after having children and watching them grow up day by day, sometimes I feel that time passes very quickly. In the blink of an eye, I'm almost in my thirties. "
Wang Jie was one year older than Li Dong. After the New Year, he would be 27 years old.
This age was considered very young, but for the current enterprises, this age was considered mature.
Many founders of IT companies also started their businesses at this age.
So far away from 2007, it had been more than two years in the blink of an eye.
In the past two years, Wang Jie had been running around. From the beginning, he knew nothing and was young and inexperienced. Now, he had become a black-faced judge in the eyes of many senior management.
After Zhou Haidong left, Wang Jie started off as the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Supervision. Later, he was transferred to Gome and became the head of the Gome Supervision Branch. He continued to be the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Supervision.
Later on, Gome was integrated, and Wang Jie's position was transferred again, becoming the Minister of Supervision of the entire southern region.
In the Ministry of Supervision, Wang Jie was now the second in command.
Ever since the director of the Ministry of Supervision wasn't a member of the board of directors, the situation had stabilized. Even the current director of the Ministry of Supervision didn't necessarily have more power than Wang Jie.
As Li Dong walked along the corridor to the back garden, he said, "Far away has been on the right track for the past few years.
From the beginning, they were unorthodox. Now, they could be considered a regular army.
The Li Family started with me. If the Li Family has many talented people, then I hope to become a family business Far away.
Even if my future development is limited, it doesn't matter to me.
But you know the situation of the Li family. Not to mention my parents, my cousin is the closest blood relative to me in the Li family.
But that guy can eat, drink, and gamble, but it's a joke to ask him to run a business.
Because of this, Far away can only take the path of a professional manager. "
Wang Jie smiled and didn't reply. He didn't know what to say about this kind of family matters.
He also knew Li Dong's cousin. It was a good thing that he didn't cause trouble. Relying on him to help Li Dong was purely looking for trouble.
He didn't reply. Li Dong continued, "Although I'm taking the path of a professional manager, and most of the shares of Far Away are in my hands, there are still some restrictions that need to be made. Far Away now has a huge system. Sometimes, a single decision can have a huge impact. Professional managers have their own ideas, and I can't interfere in everything. If I really want to interfere, then what's the point of looking for a professional manager? But the necessary supervision is still needed. You should have received the news about Qi Yunna's transfer, right? "
Wang Jie nodded. They naturally received the news about this kind of high-level change.
"Qi Yunna is now the chairman of Dong Yu Group, but she won't stay in this position for long. Soon, Dong Yu will be broken up. Most of it will be merged into the retail group, and some will be merged into the logistics group. Some of the properties, including fixed assets such as the headquarters building, will be directly handed over to Far Away. The structure of Dong Yu Group will be abolished. Qi Yunna will then take over from Chen Lang and become the chairman of the retail group. "
Wang Jie wasn't too surprised. He laughed and said, "It's good that CEO Qi is taking over the retail group. Far Away, when it comes to experience and qualifications in the retail business, there aren't many people more experienced and qualified than CEO Qi. Even CEO Sun left this system in the later stages. Only CEO Qi has always been in this field. Far Away has been one of the veterans since the start of the few stores. Now that CEO Qi has taken over, the people under her will not have any thoughts. "
Li Dong nodded slightly. Qi Yunna was indeed experienced in the retail system Far Away.
Unlike Chen Lang and the other outsiders, when Far Away was still in Qingyang, Qi Yunna was in the management of Far Away Retail.
After that, there were ups and downs, but she had always been in this circle.
This was also one of the reasons why Li Dong let Qi Yunna take over from Chen Lang. If it was someone else, even if their position was higher than Qi Yunna, it would cause a lot of trouble and resistance if they took over the retail group.
As they spoke, the two of them had already walked to the back garden.
It was drizzling outside, and Li Dong didn't walk out of the corridor. The two of them randomly found a place to sit down.
Li Dong leaned on the railing and looked at Wang Jie. "There will be a personnel change at the end of this year or the beginning of next year.
Far Away can't always be overshadowed by me. Personal worship is very effective in the early and middle stages.
In the later stages, the operation of the company still depends on the corporate culture and management. We can't just rely on personal worship.
Therefore, after this change, the group will gradually walk out of my shadow and completely move towards normalization.
I've thought about it for a period of time. The current supervision department is still in place for the middle and lower levels.
But for the senior management, especially the board members, there is almost no supervision authority.
Far Away's board members have too much power.
Some of them are also in charge of the group, and even the CEO can't control them.
I can suppress them, but it doesn't mean others can.
Moreover, it's not immature to rely on personal suppression.
I've decided to set up the structure of the board of supervisors, forming a new organizational system with the shareholders' meeting, the board of directors, and the board of supervisors as the core.
The board of directors manages the company, and the board of supervisors supervises the board of directors. Both of them are responsible to the shareholders' meeting at the same time.
And the shareholders need to give the board of directors the greatest authority, allowing them to operate the company independently, forming a set of circular system … "
When he said this, Wang Jie already understood what he meant. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "You mean, let me enter the board of supervisors?"
Although the board of supervisors and the board of directors are on the same level in name, and even the board of supervisors can supervise the board of directors, including the chairman of the board of directors.
But in fact, the board of supervisors only has this right, and no other rights.
The existence of the board of supervisors is to prevent the board of directors from monopolizing power and even infringing on the rights and interests of the shareholders.
As for the specific operation of the company, they have no right to manage.
This is similar to the duties of the independent directors. Far away, there are no independent directors, and the current board of directors has no supervisory body. Only Li Dong is the sole decision-maker.
And the establishment of the board of supervisors is to put a layer of shackles on the board of directors.
Once you enter the board of supervisors, you can't continue to hold other senior management positions in the company.
Wang Jie will also have to step down from his current position as the deputy director of the Ministry of Supervision.
It might seem like a promotion, but in fact, his authority will be reduced.
Li Dong looked at him and said, "I have this thought. Of course, it's just a thought. There's no need to beat around the bush between us. If you don't agree, I won't force you. These few years, you have been honed. If you don't enter the board of supervisors, then you can be the director of the Ministry of Supervision. If you enter the board of supervisors, there is almost no room for promotion in the future. But the director of the Ministry of Supervision is different. Far away from the professional system, and there is still room for development in the future … "
Before he finished, Wang Jie laughed and said, "Don't. The director of the Ministry of Supervision is very difficult.
You know my personality. I'm actually not that competitive.
These few years, I have been running around. To put it bluntly, I'm not trying to be a leader. I just want to help you solve some small problems within my ability.
One moment, I'm in Beijing, the next moment, I'm in Shanghai. I'm running around all day, and I rarely come back to Pingchuan.
This is just the deputy. If I become the director, it will be even more troublesome. I have to patrol all over the country, and I will probably be on the road for half a year every year.
Xiaobao is in kindergarten now, and he will be in primary school soon.
The child is still young, and when he goes to school, I can't bring him everywhere. He has to settle down.
My task will be much easier after entering the board of supervisors. I like this kind of easy and dignified position the most.
Furthermore, entering the board of supervisors doesn't mean that I have to do it for the rest of my life.
When Xiaobao is older and I'm more mature, I can transfer to the management system Far away if I have the idea. My starting point will be higher than now.
Furthermore, I'm still young, and if I really become the director, I'm afraid I will be labeled with a big hat.
The board of supervisors is pretty good. It's noble, has status, and the salary is good. Director Yuan and the rest have to give me face when they see me, and I won't interfere with the actual operation of the company. No one will object to it.
To be honest, this position is quite suitable for me. "
Li Dong laughed and said, "You don't want to reconsider? Don't think that I'm testing you. What I say to others is set in stone, and there is no other choice. You're different. Your son is my son, and your wife … "
Wang Jie looked at him with a dark expression. Li Dong laughed and said, "I'm just joking, but I'm speaking the truth. It's true that the board of supervisors is noble, but its authority is much smaller. To put it more clearly, it's for me to control Yuan Chengdao and the rest. Actually, many people can take this position, and you don't have to do it. It's the same for you to take over the supervision department. "
Wang Jie waved his hand and said, "It's decided. I think it's pretty good.
I'm different from you. I'm just an ordinary person. I didn't even finish university.
I don't have that much ambition, nor do I have that much ability.
I know nothing about company management and strategic planning.
I've learned a little in the past few years, but you should know about the supervision department. They just need to check the accounts, look at the information, and deal with those who violate the rules.
I've never actually participated in the operation of a company, so I don't know anything about it.
Even if I become the CEO of Far away, what can I do?
The board of supervisors is pretty good. I can often interact with Director Yuan and the rest, and I can participate in some of the company's high-level meetings.
Learning like this for a few years will actually help me.
After a few years, when I feel that I'm up to the task, I can lose my position as the board of supervisors and have more room for growth. "
Li Dong could tell that Wang Jie was really thinking. He smiled and said, "Alright, it's settled then.
This way, you can settle down in Pingchuan and buy a house.
When we have more free time in the future, we can hang out and have a few drinks. It's not bad.
You're one of the few friends I have. Over the years, my friends have been dwindling.
In Pingchuan, there are only a few people I can chat with.
By the way, you don't have a house in Pingchuan, right?
You don't have to buy one. You're familiar with the villa in Billow Mountain Manor … "
Wang Jie hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That won't do. That villa is worth tens of millions now. Friendship aside, I won't accept it."
Li Dong laughed and said, "Don't flatter yourself. Do you think I'm giving it to you?
I'm giving it to my godson. I'm Li Dong's godson. Do you have a problem with me giving it to him?
I didn't spend much money when I bought it, and the East Garden is so close to Billow Mountain Manor. I can't live there anymore. It's a waste to leave it there.
Don't tell me you want me to sell it? I can't afford to lose that person.
You haven't saved much money these years. It's not shameful to bask in your son's light.
When Xiao Bao is an adult, the property will be transferred to him. If you're really embarrassed, you can pay the rent for your son later. "
Wang Jie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said helplessly, "It's really too expensive. To be honest, I've basked in your light too much these years …"
Li Dong waved his hand and interrupted, "Don't mention that. If you really feel bad, take Xiao Bao to my parents' place when you have time. My parents don't say it, but they still want to hold a grandson. But having a son and a daughter is not something that can be easily given birth to. My godson is also a son. My parents also like Xiao Bao very much. I'm very busy and don't have time to accompany them. You can take care of him here. "
Having said that, Wang Jie no longer refused. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let Ah Mei take Xiao Bao to accompany uncle and aunt when I have time. But you, when are you going to have another one? "
Li Dong smiled and said, "No hurry. This matter is not a matter of urgency."
"…"
The two chatted for a while. They didn't talk too much about business. After chatting for a while, they talked about the situation of some old classmates.
It's been almost six years since he graduated from high school. Li Dong has almost forgotten the appearance of those classmates.
When Wang Jie mentioned it, Li Dong had some vague impression.
When talking about high school classmates, it's natural to mention Yuan Xue.
Wang Jie already knew the current situation of Yuan Xue. He teased Li Dong with a few words. As a result, Li Dong's face didn't change. Wang Jie laughed for a while and no longer mentioned it.
Although Li Dong can't give Yuan Xue a marriage, in Wang Jie's view, perhaps such a result is the best result.
That cold and arrogant old class monitor, among Wang Jie's classmates, is the object of admiration of almost all the boys.
The goddess was abducted by another man. They were not convinced. But she was abducted by Li Dong. Wang Jie thought it was good.
