Li Dong's words, "Money is not a problem," were said in an extremely open and generous manner.
But not long after he said that, someone came to slap him in the face.
Liu Hongmei, the CFO, did not come to Li Dong's office often. But every time she came, it was not good news. It was either overspending or lacking money.
It was the same this time. Li Dong was mentally prepared when Liu Hongmei came.
But when Liu Hongmei finished speaking, Li Dong was still a little stunned.
After a long while, Li Dong said with a strange expression, "Why didn't I know about this?"
Liu Hongmei looked up at him and said expressionlessly, "You didn't ask about this, so we naturally can't mention it to you."
Li Dong coughed and said, "Why didn't Director Sun say it himself?"
"I think he was embarrassed to say it. After all, Far away is short of money now." Liu Hongmei adjusted her glasses and added, "What's more, without your signature, the money can't be distributed."
Li Dong thought for a while and seemed to have never heard of this.
Thinking of this, Li Dong's expression became even more strange. He asked, "Did you ask, or did Director Sun ask you to ask?"
"It's me. Director Sun usually doesn't ask about the finance. And this matter involves himself, so he won't mention it. General Manager Li, the reason why I came to you is also for the sake of financial fairness. Don't think too much about it. "
"I didn't think too much about it."
Li Dong was speechless. He shook his head and said, "You know, I don't care much about these things. You should have told me earlier."
Liu Hongmei chuckled and did not reply. What should she say about this?
If it wasn't for the fact that the company was going to be on holiday soon and Li Dong did not mention this matter, she was not prepared to get involved.
The matter was actually very simple.
Sun Tao, the new billionaire from last night, Far away's shareholder, had been so poor recently that he almost had to wear his pants.
Back then, he and Li Dong had agreed that the general manager would not receive a salary, only an annual bonus.
Although Far Away had made a lot of money last year, it had to invest in the new store. At the end of the year, there was no income on the books.
So last year, Sun Tao had almost zero income.
The only time he received a dividend was during the first month of the opening of the Dongping branch. That month, Sun Tao received 86,000 yuan, which was also the only time he received any money.
In the second year, 2005, So far, they had been spending for the whole year.
As of the end of December, So far, the profit was about 180 million, but the expenditure was more than three times that. Naturally, the book was also in negative assets.
Li Dong had never cared about these things. When he was short of money, he would transfer it directly from the company. He had never thought much about Sun Tao.
In his opinion, Sun Tao should not be short of money.
Even if the company had investments, it should not be a problem for Sun Tao to spend tens of millions of yuan.
However, Li Dong had neglected one thing. Without his permission, who would dare to withdraw money from the company?
Sun Tao did not have a fixed salary. He only had a bonus, but the bonus was usually paid once a year. Last year was out of the question, but this year, it was the end of the year. Without Li Dong's permission, no one dared to mention it.
Sun Tao wanted to mention it, but Old Sun was too embarrassed to mention it to Li Dong.
Since he himself did not mention it, and he was the general manager, it was even more difficult for others to mention it.
All in all, since the establishment of the company So far Away, as a billionaire, Sun Tao's total income was 86,000 yuan.
Sun Tao had said before that he owed a friend 800,000 yuan. He had mortgaged his house in Pingchuan, and he also owed the bank some money.
86,000 yuan was not even enough to pay the bank, let alone his friend.
Moreover, he had to eat and drink in Pingchuan. Although the company reimbursed Sun Tao a portion of his expenses every month, as the general manager, Sun Tao had to spend a lot in private to maintain his appearance.
Just a few suits cost him tens of thousands, and his pockets were empty now.
This was the reason why Li Dong felt weird when he heard Liu Hongmei's words. A general manager could not even be compared to a manager? His life was too pitiful.
But this matter cannot be blamed on Li Dong. After all, he did not have any experience in this.
Naturally, Li Dong had never thought about this matter. Who asked Sun Tao to not tell him about it? Furthermore, there were many things in the company, so it would be weird if Li Dong remembered it.
Shaking his head, Li Dong laughed and said, "How about this? You can transfer two million to General Manager Sun first. At least you can pay off your debt. As a general manager, he still owes money, and it will be embarrassing if this news spreads. Those who don't know might think that I am being harsh on him. "
Liu Hongmei smiled. "It's also my fault for not mentioning this to you."
"Forget it. Let's not talk about this first. I will pay CEO Sun another salary in the future. Every month … Fifty thousand a month. That should be enough. "
50,000 yuan a month was not a small amount, but it was not a lot for a general manager.
However, Sun Tao had shares, so the money was extra. It should be enough.
Why did Li Dong not pay before? At that time, he was not familiar with Sun Tao. Who knew what he was capable of?
If he did not do well and made a loss, then Sun Tao should not even think about getting a single cent. This was normal.
Now, there was no need for it. Even the shares had been given, and the salary was still lacking.
Liu Hongmei responded. Li Dong waved his hand. "Go do your work first. Call CEO Sun over …"
"Forget it. I will go to his office."
Li Dong changed his mind halfway through his words. He got up and walked to Sun Tao's office.
…
As soon as Sun Tao dismissed the HR director, Li Dong entered the door.
Li Dong did not say anything when he entered the door. He walked around the office and looked at Sun Tao from head to toe. He smiled. "Brother Sun, I have prepared the share transfer agreement. Sign it later and go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to register. Don't forget."
Sun Tao nodded. This was what they agreed on last night.
What needed to be said had been said yesterday. There was no need to be polite today.
After finishing this matter, Li Dong asked curiously, "Brother Sun, I have a question."
"Go ahead."
"I say, you have been single for so long. Is it because you have no money in your pocket?"
Sun Tao looked bitter. He knew what Li Dong meant. He said embarrassedly, "It's okay. I don't have to worry about food and drink. My friend also knows that I am short of money recently, so I am not in a hurry. But this time, if you didn't say it, I was going to mention it to you. Poverty stunts ambition. If I don't return the money, I will be ashamed. "
"You can't blame me. You are probably the kind of person who wants to save face and suffer." Li Dong joked and said, "I will ask CEO Hongmei to handle the money. I will give you two million first. If it is not enough, we will talk about it."
"You also know that the company has a lot of expenses this year, so the dividend can't be paid in full …"
Before Li Dong finished speaking, Sun Tao hurriedly said, "I know the company's account. Two million is more than enough. One million is almost enough. To be honest, since the company was established, even you have not spent much money. How can I ask for money? "
This was also the reason why Sun Tao had been embarrassed to talk about money.
As the boss, Li Dong did not spend more than two million in the past year, except for official business.
The car was an official business, so the money could not be counted as Li Dong's expenses. He did not spend much money on other things. He only bought a house in Pingchuan.
In addition, he spent some money on Wang Jia's matter and transferred some money to Qin Yuhan. Other than that, Li Dong had almost no expenses.
As for the establishment of scholarships and donations, although Li Dong had his own selfish motives, it should be counted as the company's expenses. It could not be counted as Li Dong's.
Even the big boss was so thrifty. Of course, Sun Tao was even more thrifty.
Moreover, the dividend was not paid for investment. Money begets money. Sun Tao did not blame Li Dong.
If it was not for the fact that he was really tight on money, Sun Tao would not have bothered to mention it.
Li Dong smiled and did not say anything else. After they were done talking about official business, Li Dong looked at his phone and said, "It's almost time. I have to pick Yuhan up when she comes back later. Come to my office. We'll finish the agreement in the morning."
Sun Tao nodded and tidied up. He stood up and said, "Yuhan is only back now?"
He was very close to Yang Yun, so naturally, he knew about Qin Yuhan.
Li Dong shook his head and said, "She can't stay idle, so she opened a dessert shop in Capital City. She has been dragging it out until now."
Sun Tao said in amusement, "Both of you can't stay idle. It's fine if it's you, but isn't Yuhan in school? Opening a shop will affect her studies. I think it's better to persuade her to earn money anytime. "
"That's right."
Li Dong sighed. However, it was useless for him to persuade her. It was better to let Qin Yuhan hit the wall herself.
That girl had a stubborn temper. Don't be fooled by her ladylike demeanor. In fact, she was a stubborn person.
Sun Tao did not try to persuade her after hearing Li Dong's tone.
After being busy for the whole morning, Li Dong and Sun Tao went to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to make some changes. They then drove to the airport.
…
It was close to the end of the year, and the usually quiet airport became busy.
Li Dong waited for more than 20 minutes before Qin Yuhan walked over from afar with a smile on her face.
Li Dong hugged her and took the suitcase. He then asked, "What did you bring? Why is it so heavy? "
"Some specialties from Capital City. I'll give you half of it later. Bring it back for uncle and auntie to try."
Qin Yuhan asked as she walked, "When are you going back to Dongping?"
Today was the 24th of the twelfth lunar month. It was New Year's Eve on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month this year. There were five days left.
Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "In another two days. I'll go back on the 26th or 27th."
After that, Li Dong asked, "Didn't you say you would go to Dongping with me yesterday? You didn't forget, right? "
Qin Yuhan blushed and said shyly, "Forget it. You didn't tell uncle and auntie about this, right? I won't go this year. I'll visit uncle and auntie next time when I have time."
Yesterday, she had said those words out of impulse.
Now that she thought about it, Qin Yuhan regretted it.
She had no status now. How could she go to Dongping with Li Dong?
Moreover, she was still in school this year. She had not even graduated from her second year of university. If she went to the Li family so early, she might be looked down upon by them.
Li Dong smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? It's not like my parents don't know you. They even said they would find time to bring you back to visit them. I think this year is just right."
As he spoke, Li Dong opened the trunk and stuffed the suitcase inside.
After getting in the car, Qin Yuhan said, "Let me think about it. I'll tell you later."
Li Dong did not try to persuade her and drove to the Qin family's house.
