The next day.
In the morning, Li Dong called for a high-level meeting.
During the meeting, Li Dong announced a few pieces of news, all of which were good news.
First, Far Away Mall's sales as of 12 am yesterday was released.
There were a total of 2,245 orders, and 1,620 orders were processed. The daily sales reached 162,000.
Second, Far Away had become a supported enterprise by the provincial government and the Ministry of Commerce. Li Dong also announced all kinds of support and preferential policies.
Everyone was beaming with joy. Obviously, they did not expect that supporting an enterprise would bring them so many benefits.
It was not that the provincial government did not do this in the past, but the support was not big. Take interest-free loans for example. In the past, it was usually a few million, and even tens of millions were rare.
This time, they were able to provide an interest-free loan of 50 million to Far Away. It was really beyond everyone's expectations.
After announcing these two pieces of good news, Li Dong announced a third piece of good news.
The new city of Su 'an was planned!
The new city was located in Anyuan County. The Heming Village area was indeed the city center of the new city. Li Dong's previous guess was not wrong.
This news was told to Li Dong by Hsu Shengzhe last night. Otherwise, Li Dong would not have received the news himself.
Last night, Li Dong was so excited that he could not sleep.
It was not enough to receive good news in the day. At night, he heard another piece of good news. The new city plan was out, which meant that Far Away's investment was profitable.
Far Away's 100 million was invested in the land that Hsu Shengzhe bought. The total cost was about 200 million.
Of course, the land was not paid in full. Half of the initial payment was paid. Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe were not in a hurry to pay the rest. They wanted to drag it out for a while and wait for the land to be sold.
After Li Dong finished his announcement, Sun Tao asked, "General Manager Li, what is the current valuation of this land?"
Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "I did not ask for the specifics, but Longhua's Hsu Shengzhe is an expert. It should not be difficult for him to double it."
Sun Tao laughed and said, "That means the land price is about 400 million?"
"Maybe more. Nearly 5,000 mu of land, and the new city is the hub of the four provinces. It should not be expensive to sell it for 100,000 yuan per mu, right? Even if it is 100,000 yuan per mu, we will have made a lot. "
Li Dong chuckled. With a hundred thousand yuan per mu, they would be able to earn at least two hundred million yuan.
This was the profit for Far Away. He was also earning a lot.
Li Dong had invested 50 million in the land in Heming Village. Heming Village was located in the city center, so the land price would definitely not be cheap.
Fifty million became two hundred million. Li Dong could also make a lot of money. Now, he was finally rich.
After the announcement of the three pieces of news, everyone was grinning from ear to ear.
So far away, although Li Dong and Sun Tao earned most of the money, the higher-ups also benefited a lot. Not to mention other things, the year-end bonus would definitely be a lot more.
Far away, with money, the speed of development would be faster. Far away, the faster the development, the higher the status of the higher-ups would naturally rise.
After the announcement, Li Dong saw Shen Qian staring at him and couldn't help but laugh.
Clapping his hands to attract everyone's attention, Li Dong continued, "One more thing. Director Shen Qian will be promoted to Deputy General Manager of the company, and she will be in charge of the E-Commerce Department. Everyone, please give her a round of applause!"
"Pa pa pa!"
Applause rang throughout the meeting room. No one was surprised. What was so strange about Shen Qian's promotion? It would be strange if she didn't.
Among the three pieces of good news announced today, two of them were related to Shen Qian.
Not to mention the Mall, with the support of the government's policies, if it weren't for Shen Qian, Far away might not have been able to take it.
With these two points, in addition to Shen Qian's background, it was normal for her to be promoted one level.
Moreover, everyone was happy about it. Shen Qian's background was actually a stabilizing force for Far away. The closer the relationship between Shen Qian and Far Away was, the more assured everyone would be, and the more confident they would be.
The applause lasted for a long time, and Shen Qian also made a few brief remarks about her promotion.
Then, Director Shen's address was changed to President Shen. In fact, everyone had been calling her President Shen before. With this promotion, Shen Qian actually got nothing other than an additional title.
However, Shen Qian didn't care. She was just happy. In the following meetings, the smile on her face never stopped.
After announcing the good news, Li Dong's face became slightly serious.
Everyone's smiles gradually faded. They had all heard about what happened yesterday. Li Dong had not said anything, and everyone knew that Li Dong would definitely make a move today.
Although the previous good news had diluted the tense atmosphere, now that Li Dong was serious, everyone could not help but feel nervous.
They were not afraid of anything else, but they were afraid that Li Dong would do a big purge. This was not the first time that Li Dong had done something like this.
So far away this year's development was considered stable, and there were not many changes in the senior management. Other than the E-Commerce Department, which was a newly established department, the other departments had gradually stabilized after the big change last year.
If they changed people now, it would not have much impact on Far Away, so everyone was a little nervous.
Li Dong did not look at everyone's expression and said seriously, "Everyone heard about what happened yesterday, right?"
Everyone nodded quickly.
Seeing this, Li Dong said, "On the first day of the Mall's launch, there was a problem with the warehouse, and the inventory was lost. Who is going to take responsibility for this? Fortunately, there was no problem in the end. If there was a problem, wouldn't the initial investment in the Mall be wasted? Tens of millions of investment, who is going to take the blame?! "
Everyone was silent, and Shen Qian's smile faded a little. She stood up and said, "General Manager Li, this is a mistake in the work of the E-Commerce Department. I should take responsibility."
Everyone saw that Shen Qian stood up to take the blame, and they could not help but feel relieved.
Shen Qian had just been promoted, and she was the company's hero. She also had a strong background. It was actually the most appropriate for her to stand up, and Li Dong would not punish her too much.
Sure enough, Li Dong waved his hand and said, "You have been watching the technical team. It is understandable that you did not pay attention to the warehouse. Of course, you still have to take responsibility. Three months' bonus will be deducted, and the year-end bonus will be halved. Do you have any objections? "
Shen Qian pursed her lips and nodded. "No objections."
Seeing this, Li Dong did not say anything more. He said to a senior manager on the left side of the conference table, "Director Song, I remember that the E-Commerce Department's warehouse is under the unified responsibility of the Commodity Management Department, right?"
The man called Director Song wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and quickly stood up. "General Manager Li, yes, it is under our unified responsibility."
Li Dong did not speak anymore.
Everyone understood what he meant. He was going to start with the Commodity Management Department.
Far away, the Commercial Management Department had a high status, and there were many things under its control, such as logistics, procurement, operation, warehouse …
These things were all under the responsibility of the Commercial Management Department. To be honest, apart from the few old CEOs, Director Song had the highest status in the company.
When Director Song saw Li Dong's expression, how could he not understand what he meant? But he was not reconciled!
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Director Song cried, "General Manager Li, although we are in charge of the warehouse in name, the Commercial Management Department is in charge of too many things. However, the Business Management Department was in charge of too many things. They had their own independent system for storage, and the storage of e-commerce stores and the storage of stores were not unified, which made it even more difficult to manage. We are responsible for too many things every month. You can ask the deputy directors, which one of them doesn't work until eight or nine o 'clock in the evening? General Manager Li, to boast, I, Song Ming, have not done anything wrong to the company! Which director here is busier and more tired than me? Since I took office, I have almost never had a holiday, and almost never returned home before 10 o 'clock in the evening. If you kick me aside because of this warehouse incident, I will not accept it! "
Song Ming also threw caution to the wind. There were too many people who wanted to see him fall, because he was the first director of the company, and his real power was even greater than Shen Qian and Wang Yue.
There were more than one or two people who wanted to be the director of the Commercial Management Department. Now that Li Dong seemed to have the intention to dismiss him, it was definitely a wall that was pushed down by everyone.
But Song Ming did not want to fall like this, nor did he want to fail like this.
The effort he put in was no less than the people in the room. Just because the inventory list was lost, and it was the warehouse department that was in charge of the e-commerce department that had a problem, the result was that he was going to be punished. How could he accept it?
Li Dong gently knocked on the table, and the sound echoed in the meeting room.
No one dared to speak for a moment. Song Ming felt that every time Li Dong knocked on the table, it was like knocking on the bottom of his heart. The sweat on his head increased, but Song Ming did not bother to wipe it off.
After about a minute or two, Li Dong spoke again, "The Commercial Management Department is indeed too big. Many departments have overlapping functions, and the management system is messy. This is my fault."
"I thought about it yesterday. In the future, the warehouse department will be independent and set up a separate department. What do you think?"
Shen Qian asked, "Is it the warehouse department of the e-commerce department and the warehouse department of the supermarket together?"
Li Dong shook his head and said, "It is only the warehouse department of the supermarket."
Shen Qian frowned, and the others also frowned. What was the point of this? It was even more complicated.
Li Dong did not wait for them to ask and continued, "The warehouse department of the e-commerce department, Far away express company, and the transportation department, these three departments will be divided together with the e-commerce department, and will be under the jurisdiction of the e-commerce department."
When Li Dong's voice fell, everyone somewhat understood the meaning.
Everyone's eyes were a little strange. Separate warehouse department, transportation department, and express company. These departments were combined, it was obvious that these departments were going to be separated.
Could it be that General Manager Li was going to separate the e-commerce department?
Sun Tao also thought of this and asked, "General Manager Li, do you want to set up a subsidiary company?"
Far away express company had always been under the jurisdiction of the logistics department. Now that Li Dong wanted to separate the express company and set up a separate subsidiary company, it was very obvious.
It was not good for others to ask, but Sun Tao had to ask.
Li Dong knocked on the table again. After a long time, he said, "I have some ideas for the time being, but it depends on the follow-up development. If the mall is running well, I am going to separate the e-commerce department."
Everyone heard this and didn't speak. Each had their own thoughts.
There were good and bad things about setting up a subsidiary company. They also needed time to digest it and see if the separation of the e-commerce department would affect them.
Everyone didn't speak, but Song Ming was a little anxious.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten about him. When Li Dong's idea of setting up a subsidiary company came out, no one paid attention to him.
Now that the warehouse department was separated, although the authority of the business management department had decreased, it was still the company's first department.
Li Dong had to make a decision on how to deal with him. Now that he didn't care about it, what was the meaning of this?
It wasn't that Li Dong had forgotten about him, but it was difficult to make a decision in his heart.
In fact, he was really prepared to take down Song Ming. It wasn't because he was affected by this incident, but because Song Ming's ability couldn't keep up with the pace.
Far away had been developing rapidly, and Song Ming had a lot of things to manage. Maybe because of his limited ability, Song Ming's management of the business management department was a little bad.
Previously, Li Dong wanted to take down Song Ming and let someone more capable take over.
But Song Ming's words made Li Dong not know whether to take him down or not. Song Ming was very diligent, very professional, and very hardworking. This was recognized by the company.
He previously said that he worked harder and more tiring than the directors present, and no one refuted this. When it came to overtime, probably no one in the company did more than him.
But the key was that hard work and diligence were good, if his ability couldn't keep up, it would be a big problem.
Li Dong thought for a long time and finally sighed. "Director Song, now I will give you two choices. First, continue to be the director of the business management department. Second, go to the warehouse department and be the director. Which position do you think you are suitable for?"
Song Ming opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything for a long time.
Was this a multiple-choice question?
No, this was a multiple-choice question with no choices!
He was originally the director of the business management department. Now that Li Dong was giving him a choice, and he had indeed made mismanagement mistakes in the past, how could he choose?
After a long time, Song Ming let out a long breath and said, "General Manager Li, I will go to the warehouse."
After saying this, Song Ming slumped weakly in his seat. He didn't know if he should be relieved of a heavy burden or blame the heavens for being unfair.
The business management department was indeed powerful, but he was really tired these days. He was really under too much pressure.
He wasn't lying. In the past year, he almost didn't take many days off because he was afraid that problems would arise.
He didn't expect that in the end, there would still be problems. It might be a good choice to retreat now.
Actually, the work in the warehouse department was much easier. Maybe his status had dropped a little, but now that it was a separate department, it was still the same as before, so it wasn't a demotion.
Of course, this was just Song Ming comforting himself. How could a boss looking after the warehouse be the same as a boss in charge of logistics and purchasing?
Seeing that Song Ming had made his decision, Li Dong thought for a while and said, "Director Song, raise your basic salary by one level in the future."
This was to comfort Song Ming. As for what Song Ming thought, Li Dong didn't care.
If he knew his place, it would be fine. After all, he was an old man in the company, and it was not bad to retire in the warehouse.
But if Song Ming was resentful, and if there were problems in the warehouse in the future, Li Dong would definitely not be lenient.
This time, Song Ming was responsible for the problems in the warehouse. Li Dong wasn't wronging him. Letting him retire in peace was already a good thing for him.
Song Ming was relieved to hear this. Raising his basic salary by one level was not a big deal, but the key was that it was separated from the other directors.
He was the first person in the company to enjoy this treatment, so it was different.
Song Ming also knew that with his ability, he would be in danger of being eliminated sooner or later. Now that he had this result, it was considered good.
Of course, it was definitely hard to accept it immediately. This needed time to heal.
