As 2009 was coming to an end, the executives Far Away returned to Pingchuan.
A few years ago, nothing much could be seen. But this year, as the executives returned to the headquarters, Pingchuan seemed to be bustling.
Far Away's system was huge.
It had close to 500,000 employees and hundreds of branches.
Even if only two or three people came from each branch, there would be more than a thousand people.
In fact, it was far more than that.
Which branch CEO didn't have a chauffeur, a secretary, and a few deputies who also returned to the headquarters.
This year, it was also the first time Far Away held a management meeting on New Year's Day.
In the past, these people would only return to the headquarters during the annual meeting. This year, they were asked to return to the headquarters in advance.
The key was that this year's expansion was too fast. Not to mention Li Dong, even Yuan Chengdao and the others might not be able to recognize all the CEOs of the branch companies.
Some of the companies that were acquired had rapid personnel changes. Most of the time, they didn't even have time to inspect them before their deputies took over.
Taking advantage of the fact that Far Away didn't have any other plans, they gathered these people to Pingchuan to do a scope inspection.
…
Pingchuan was bustling. Li Dong also started to get busy.
These days, Li Dong kept meeting with some of the management from other places.
Especially some of the foreign companies that had just been incorporated into the system. There weren't many changes to their management. Li Dong met with almost every single one of them.
Every time he met someone, Li Dong would make some notes.
Yuan Chengdao and the others knew that Li Dong was probably preparing for the personnel changes that were coming.
Far Away's structure was going to change a lot, especially with Dong Yu about to be shut down. The structure of a corporation was being shut down, and the personnel changes were even greater.
At this time, how to maintain the stability of the corporation and satisfy the majority was also a test for Li Dong.
…
Busy all the way until the day before New Year's Day, the last day of 2009, Li Dong barely managed to get to know the management of the various places.
After finishing his work, Li Dong and Yuan Chengdao, who had also just finished meeting a group of people, took the time to meet.
Although the two of them were both in the company, they had their own things to do and were very busy, so they didn't see each other often.
Instead of talking in the office, Li Dong and Yuan Chengdao went to the private room on the second floor of the cafeteria.
As soon as they sat down, Li Dong went straight to the point and said, "Wu Shengnan has resigned, and Qi Yunna has taken over. The board of directors is currently short one person. We should hold a board meeting as soon as possible and let Qi Yunna fill in as a replacement."
Yuan Chengdao had no objections to this. It was bound to happen.
When the dishes were served, Li Dong continued to eat as he continued, "Also, Dong Yu is going to be merged this time, so there will be one less company under it. I'm going to upgrade Tencent …"
Yuan Chengdao frowned slightly and said, "Actually, there's no need to touch Tencent. Now that Tencent is a listed company, it's very independent.
Even Far away Technology doesn't have much management authority over Tencent. Tencent's share capital is also controlled by Far away Holdings.
It's said to be a subsidiary of Far away Technology, but in fact, it's not.
Once a company is listed, it's actually like this. Except for the holding company, the groups under it don't have much management authority.
It's the same for Weibo. Nowadays, it's more responsible to the group headquarters.
So whether it's upgraded or downgraded, the effect is the same.
Although Tencent and Weibo's management team are also Far away, the salary they get is actually more decided by themselves.
Now that we have to change and upgrade, it will increase our expenses.
Since it's been upgraded, should we change the salary?
Tencent has a lot of people. After this, we'll have to spend hundreds of millions more every year. "
Li Dong pondered for a moment and nodded. "That's true. The independence of a listed company is high to begin with. Whether it's changed or not doesn't affect much. The key is still in the holding company. I want to make some minor adjustments to the board of directors … "
Li Dong said a few simple words, but Yuan Chengdao was a little dazed.
Since when did Li Dong ask for other people's opinions on the changes to the board of directors?
It's normal for Li Dong to ask him about the changes to the board of directors.
However, the board of directors is almost all decided by Li Dong. Now, Li Dong is actually asking for his opinion!
Yuan Chengdao's eyes moved. This is a very good sign!
When Yuan Chengdao came back to his senses, he heard Li Dong say, "Far away, there are many vice-presidents. However, there are only three people in the board of directors.
Director Sun, Director Wang, and Director Liu.
Previously, Director Sun and Director Wang were in the South. They were mainly in charge of the retail group. At that time, the retail group wanted to expand. They were in charge together to suppress other voices.
Now that the retail group is almost integrated, there's no need to waste manpower.
Far away's current system is huge, and the responsibilities can no longer be vague.
I thought about it for a while. Far away Holdings will add an executive vice president, three senior vice presidents, and the president. The five people will form the strategy committee of Far away Holdings.
The other vice presidents, some department directors, and the group's CEO will form the executive committee.
The board of directors will coordinate, and the board of supervisors will be responsible for supervision … "
Strategy committee, executive committee, board of directors, board of supervisors, shareholders' meeting …
These institutions together form the management structure of Faraway Group.
This is also the system that a large group should have. In the past, when Li Dong was there, all decisions were made by Li Dong. There was no need to set up the strategy committee, and there was no need to set up the board of supervisors.
But now, Li Dong is making changes to the group, and it tends to be a positive change.
Yuan Chengdao has no reason to object, and he will not object. This is a good thing.
When Li Dong finished, Yuan Chengdao asked, "Then the specific personnel adjustments …"
"Sun Tao will be the executive vice president, and Wang Yue, Chen Lang, and Liu Hongmei will be the senior vice presidents. They will enter the board of directors at the same time. In addition, I have been holding the position of the group's CEO. Far away doesn't have a CEO, and your power as the CEO has been weakened a lot. This time, I will step down as CEO, and you will take over the position of the group's CEO. "
In a large group, the chairman is the first person, followed by the CEO, and then the CEO.
Yuan Chengdao did not hold the position of CEO before. In fact, when Li Dong was in the company, there was not much difference whether he held the position or not.
In addition, the country's CEO and CEO are mixed up, so not many people paid attention.
In fact, the CEO who did not hold the position of CEO did not have as much power as imagined. Some CEO can't even enter the board of directors.
Yuan Chengdao's face showed a touch of joy. He did not conceal it, and there was no need to conceal it.
At this time, if he was still indifferent, then perhaps Li Dong would think that he was too scary.
Li Dong glanced at him and did not care about this. He continued, "Of course, this adjustment will have to wait until after the merger of Dongyu. In addition, Liu Hongmei will continue to be in charge of the finance. Chen Lang will be in charge of the retail group and the logistics group. Wang Yue will be in charge of Far away technology, Far away investment, and other businesses … "
There was no need to mention Sun Tao. As the executive vice president, he had the authority to intervene in all the businesses under the group.
The senior vice president was specifically in charge of some of the businesses under the group. In this way, Chen Lang's position was relatively higher.
As for Wang Yue, she also had more authority.
Liu Hongmei did not make any changes, but the finance was a very important part of the group's business, and its position was also very important.
In addition to Yuan Chengdao, these five people formed the new management structure of the group.
As for the chairman of the board of directors, most of the time, he was not in charge of the specific business matters.
In this way, the board of directors still had 11 members, and there were no changes. However, there were some changes in the specific authority and position.
Yuan Chengdao pondered for a moment. This time, almost everyone benefited.
He got the position of CEO, and Sun Tao was clearly the number two, excluding Li Dong.
Wang Yue was previously only in charge of Gome, but now, she could be in charge of Far away technology. One must know that Far away technology was now in charge of Tencent and Weibo, and her authority had also increased greatly.
It was the same for Chen Lang, and he even had the authority to supervise the logistics group.
If one were to talk about losses, the only one who had some losses was Li Dong, and his authority was further delegated.
In reality, Li Dong did not care about it, as this was his original goal.
After weighing it for a moment, Yuan Chengdao knew that this was a situation that everyone was happy with. He did not say anything else, and immediately asked, "Then what are the arrangements for the board of supervisors?"
"Far away does not need to have too many board members, limited to five. According to the regulations, the proportion of the board of supervisors' staff representatives should not be less than one-third, so the staff will elect two board members to enter the board of supervisors. As for the other three, the deputy director of the supervision department, Wang Jie, will step down from his position as deputy director and enter the board of supervisors as the chairman … "
"Chairman of the board of supervisors?"
Yuan Chengdao slightly frowned and said, "General Manager Li, I am not against your decision, but isn't Minister Wang … too young?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "The board of supervisors is not in charge of the specific operations, so it does not matter much. Wang Jie was once the deputy director of the supervision department, and relatively speaking, he knows more about the company. Moreover, Far Away is a young enterprise, and Wang Jie is one year older than me. "
Since Li Dong had already said so, and the board of supervisors existed to supervise the board of directors, it would be somewhat inappropriate to object.
Yuan Chengdao nodded, and it was a sign that he agreed with Li Dong's decision.
"I have decided to hire the other two board members from outside. One is the retired Jiangzhou University Principal Chen, and the other is the retired former chief prosecutor of the Provincial Procuratorate, Chief Prosecutor Zhang … "
It was normal for the board of supervisors of enterprises to hire these external personnel.
This included the independent directors of some groups, and they would often hire some famous and influential people to take up the position.
Of course, the premise for the personnel of government agencies was that they were retired or resigned.
The position of the Procuratorate was high, but the actual power was limited. Moreover, they were retired personnel, so it was not a big problem for them to take up the post of supervisor of the board of supervisors.
Moreover, for a group like Far Away, the higher-ups were eager to have more supervision. Li Dong had mentioned it before, and the other party had given an affirmative answer very quickly.
Yuan Chengdao also nodded when he heard that. Jiangzhou University was Li Dong's alma mater, and it was also a key university. In recent years, they had also had a series of cooperation with Far Away.
At this time, having the retired Jiangzhou University Principal as the supervisor would only be beneficial to the group.
A key university's network was also very deep.
Take Chen Lang for example, he graduated from Jiangzhou University.
When the Jiangzhou University Principal came, even Chen Lang had to show some respect. This way, it would have a greater deterrent effect on the board of directors.
There was no need to mention the other one. More importantly, he represented the will of Jiangbei and the higher-ups.
This kind of board of supervisors would have a stronger supervisory ability.
Yuan Chengdao could not help but look at Li Dong. Although this boss was young, he was unusually shrewd when it came to planning.
With just a few simple steps, he had firmly taken control of the Faraway Lands.
If anyone thought that they could do whatever they wanted after Li Dong left, they would not be far from being finished.
Besides, the chairman of the board of supervisors was Li Dong's classmate. Obviously, he was also someone that Li Dong trusted a lot. In addition, Qi Yunna in the board of directors, Liu Hongmei, who controlled the retail group, and Li Dong, who was in charge of the finance, had almost blind trust in Li Dong.
Together, the strength of these people could not be underestimated.
The two of them continued to discuss the specific matters for a while. Li Dong mainly talked about the transfer of the higher-ups.
As for the transfer of positions under the board of directors, Li Dong did not mention a word about it.
Yuan Chengdao understood that this was Li Dong delegating power to him and the few vice-presidents to make adjustments.
As the CEO of a group, if he did not have his own direct subordinates, then the group would not be able to run smoothly, let alone control it.
Li Dong himself only needed to be in charge of them at this level.
…
Soon, it was New Year's Day.
2009 had officially ended, and the new year had officially arrived.
On January 1, 2010, Far away held a management meeting with thousands of people.
At the meeting, other than words of encouragement and encouragement, Far away did not talk about anything else, including personnel issues. Even if there was a transfer, it would not be now.
However, at the meeting, the CEO of Faraway Group, Yuan Chengdao, announced a set of data to the public.
After the group's overnight statistics, as of the early morning of December 31, 2009.
Far away's total revenue for the whole year of 2009, including the companies that were acquired, had exceeded the trillion mark!
Far away's revenue was a little short of breaking the trillion mark. However, after acquiring Gao Xin, and the business in the mall had been rising these days, it finally broke the trillion mark on the last day!
1,00,652 million. This was the revenue of Far away and the acquired companies for the whole year.
As for the C2C business of Wan Jia and Taobao, the annual transaction volume had also reached 250 billion.
As soon as the data was announced, the meeting was in an uproar.
Everyone began to whisper to each other.
One trillion!
The revenue had exceeded the trillion mark. Far away had achieved this in six years. It was simply unbelievable.
This was the fourth company in Hua Xia with revenue exceeding one trillion after petroleum, petrochemical, and State Grid!
Even ICBC's annual revenue was only about 500 billion at the moment.
…
The news of Far away's revenue exceeding one trillion spread quickly.
When the outside world heard the news, it was also in an uproar.
It was already one trillion?
Far away's revenue was only a little over 200 billion last year. In 2009, there was such a huge increase.
Even knowing that Far away had acquired a series of companies, it still caused an unimaginable shock.
Acquiring companies was also the strength of Far away.
Revenue did not necessarily represent the strength of a company. However, if a company's revenue was not high, there was no need to talk about profits.
In particular, the world's top 500 only looked at revenue.
At this moment, countless people began to check the statistics of the world's top 500 in 2009. They wanted to know how far Far away would climb in the list of the world's top 500 in the near future!
