The conversation between Li Dong and Chen Lang did not last long. They parted ways after an hour or so.
It was not even nine o 'clock when he got home. Li Dong was not in the mood to sleep. He thought about it and went into his study.
The study in Wan Yuan's house was built when the house was just renovated. In fact, Li Dong had not been here many times. There were only a few big books in the study for show.
Naturally, Li Dong did not enter the study to read. He was not in the mood to read during this period.
On the wall of the study, there was a detailed map of the country.
Li Dong stood in front of the map and looked at it carefully.
Halfway through, Li Dong picked up a pen and paper to write and draw. This lasted for more than an hour. When he heard footsteps outside the house, Li Dong rubbed his eyes and went out of the study.
…
Li Chengyuan and Cao Fang were also very busy during this period.
It was common for them to go home after ten o 'clock. Sometimes they came back at midnight. Li Dong tried to persuade them several times. The couple agreed verbally and returned to normal the next day.
After a few times, Li Dong stopped persuading them. However, every month, Li Dong would take the old couple to the hospital for a physical examination.
Although Li Chengyuan and Cao Fang were not willing, Li Dong insisted. He said that if they did not go to the hospital, they would go home to retire. The old couple could not persuade their son, so they had to maintain the habit of going to the hospital once a month.
Seeing Li Dong coming out of the study, Cao Fang quickly said, "The injury on your arm has not healed yet. Why don't you go to bed earlier?"
Li Dong shook his head and said, "It's nothing. It's just a small injury. I'm doing some research."
Then, Li Dong asked, "Mom, how's the renovation of the restaurant?"
"The renovation is over. They are cleaning the place these days. In a few days, it will be open for business in June. "
"Well, have you recruited all the people?"
Cao Fang said with satisfaction, "It's already been arranged. It's not that I want to say this, but it was the right decision to let Xiaomeng come to the restaurant to help. You don't know how capable Xiaomeng is …"
Cao Fang kept praising Lin Meng. Li Dong said perfunctorily, "It's good that you're satisfied. I'll send my cousin to help out at the restaurant later."
"Second Treasure?"
Cao Fang said suspiciously, "Isn't Er Bao doing well in the supermarket? Why did they suddenly let her come to the restaurant? Is it because Erbao didn't do a good job, and you're not satisfied? "
Li Dong waved his hand and said, "There's no such thing, but working as a cashier in a supermarket isn't a big deal either. It's been a long time, and I've been practicing. It's not bad to go to the restaurant and help you settle the accounts. You can also have someone to talk to. "
Cao Fang asked again, "What about Feng?"
"My cousin is doing a good job in the marketing department now. He won't go there and continue to work in the supermarket."
After saying this, Li Dong yawned. Seeing this, Cao Fang hesitated and finally nodded, "Then let Er Bao come over."
Li Dong nodded, said goodbye to the couple, and went straight into the room.
As soon as he left, Cao Fang frowned. She glanced at Li Chengyuan, who didn't speak, and whispered, "What do you think Dongzi means?"
Li Chengyuan yawned and said casually, "What do you mean? Didn't Dongzi say to let Er Bao talk to us? Besides, it's reassuring to have one of our own to take care of the accounts. "
"Didn't we agree to let Xiaomeng take care of the accounts …"
Halfway through, Cao Fang suddenly understood Li Dong's meaning.
Taking a deep look at the closed door of Li Dong's room, Cao Fang finally sighed softly and didn't say anything.
It was not wrong for her son to do this.
But Cao Fang still felt a little awkward. Her son had changed so much in the past two years that she almost couldn't recognize her son.
…
The next day.
Li Dong was a little tired these days. He got up late in the morning, and it was almost ten o 'clock when he arrived at the company.
As soon as he entered the company, Li Dong felt that the atmosphere was a little strange.
It was not that the atmosphere was bad, but it was a little strange. Everyone's eyes seemed to be full of ridicule.
Li Dong frowned and didn't say anything. He went straight to his office.
As soon as he walked to the door of the office, Liu Qi stood up and said, "General Manager Li, President Shen and President Sun just came to see you. Do you want to ask them to come now?"
Li Dong nodded and said, "Ask them to come, and call President Wang. By the way, is President Wang in the company? "
Wang Yue had been in charge of the company's external affairs. Far away, Wang Yue had been in charge of the development of the new stores in Nanhu and Mingcheng. Therefore, she was also the vice president with the highest probability of traveling.
Liu Qi heard this and immediately said, "President Wang is in the company. He just came back yesterday."
"Well, then ask the three of them to come."
After that, Li Dong was about to enter the door. Suddenly, he stopped and turned to ask Liu Qi, "Did something happen in the company this morning?"
"What happened?" Liu Qi was a little confused.
Li Dong raised his eyebrows and nodded without asking any more questions. He pushed the door open and entered his office.
When the office door was closed, Liu Qi quickly patted her chest and couldn't hide the smile on her face.
…
Shen Qian and the others arrived quickly. In less than three minutes, Li Dong heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
Then, Li Dong heard a few people talking with Liu Qi in a low voice. The office door was not closed tightly, so Li Dong faintly heard a few words.
With just a few words, Li Dong's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He was not in a hurry to lose his temper. After the three people entered the door, Li Dong fixed his eyes on Shen Qian.
At first, Shen Qian didn't care, but Li Dong had been staring at her for a few minutes without saying anything. Shen Qian suddenly couldn't bear it and said angrily, "General Manager Li, don't you know that staring at a lady like this is easy to cause misunderstandings?"
Li Dong said with a faint smile, "General Manager Li? Why are you still calling me General Manager Li? Wasn't it 'Li Diaosi' just now? "
"Pfft!"
The two ladies, Shen Qian and Wang Yue, really couldn't hold it in. They held their stomachs and trembled as they laughed.
Sun Tao was still fine. He suppressed the twitching of his face and laughed dryly, "General Manager Li, CEO Shen is just joking. We have something serious to discuss with you."
Li Dong said angrily, "Don't play dumb for her! I was wondering why everyone was looking at me strangely this morning. So, it was her who spread it, right? "
Shen Qian held her stomach and laughed. She cried out in injustice, "I didn't say it. It's all in the newspaper. Besides, I'm not the only one who calls you 'Li Diaosi'. My dad read the newspaper this morning and said that you are a rising example of 'Diaosi'. "
This time, it was Li Dong's turn to burst out laughing.
A rising example of 'Diaosi'?
Does Old Du even know what this word means? He's just spouting nonsense. So, he's now a fighter among 'Diaosi'?
He's the one who made trouble, so he can only take the blame.
Li Dong resisted the urge to curse. He took a deep breath and said, "Alright, this matter ends here. No further discussion is allowed."
After that, Li Dong deliberately looked at Shen Qian and warned her, "If you continue to call me that in the company, your position as Vice CEO will be over!"
Shen Qian mumbled, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Maybe the government will give you the honorary title of 'Diaosi'."
"Screw you!"
Li Dong couldn't hold it in anymore. He scolded, "Let's talk business now. If you talk nonsense again, you can leave!"
Shen Qian pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Li Dong let out a long sigh and asked Wang Yue, "CEO Wang, how is the construction of the new stores in Nanhu and Mingcheng?"
Wang Yue was also here to report on the construction progress. She immediately said, "There are 18 new stores in Nanhu. 14 of them have been completed, and the remaining four will be completed by the end of this month. There are 12 stores in Mingcheng, which is about the same progress as in Nanhu. The other two will need a few more days. I'm here to ask General Manager Li when the new stores will open for business. "
"How's the preliminary preparation going? Are all the employees ready? Are the purchase channels ready? Are there any problems with the warehouse? "
Li Dong asked a lot of questions, and Wang Yue answered them one by one.
Wang Yue was a practical person and meticulous in her work. It was the right decision to entrust her with the construction of the new stores in the two cities.
Wang Yue was very familiar with the data. She didn't hesitate and quickly reported the construction of the new stores in the two cities.
After hearing Wang Yue's report, Li Dong nodded and said, "If it's okay, let's prepare for the opening on June 1st."
Wang Yue nodded and then asked, "Collective opening?"
Li Dong thought for a while and asked, "Is there any pressure for a collective opening? Is there a shortage of staff? "
"There is a bit of pressure. After all, these two areas are newly developed areas. I'm afraid I can't manage all of them at once and it's easy to cause chaos."
"Then let's open some of them first. The ones in the city will be open, and the others will be open for a few days. All of them will be open before July."
Wang Yue heaved a sigh of relief and asked again, "General Manager Li, what about the city managers for these two areas?"
"City managers …"
Li Dong knocked on the table and asked Sun Tao, "General Manager Sun, what do you think?"
Sun Tao said immediately, "I think Qi Yunna can be transferred to Nanhu. Nanhu is the second largest economic city in Jiangbei. The others don't have experience. Qi Yunna not only has experience in managing Mound City, but she has also been the manager of many stores at the bottom level. She has a lot of experience and will be easier to manage. "
Speaking of Qi Yunna, Li Dong almost forgot about her.
After hearing Sun Tao's words, Li Dong asked, "What's Qi Yunna's position now?"
"Manager Qi is now the manager of the Changjiang Road store."
"So fast?"
Li Dong glanced at them and looked at them suspiciously.
The Changjiang Road store was one of the few second-level stores Far away. Li Dong knew that Qi Yunna had been the manager of a fourth-level store at the beginning of the year.
But it hadn't even been half a year, and Qi Yunna had jumped two levels. That was too fast.
Li Dong had to personally approve the candidate for the second-level store manager, but Li Dong couldn't remember if he approved it or not. He didn't know if it was because of these guys.
Seeing Li Dong's expression, Sun Tao said immediately, "Manager Qi had the best sales among the fourth-level stores in March. She was promoted to the third-level store manager position at the beginning of April. You know, General Manager Li, that in April, Manager Qi led the store to the third-level store sales championship. Because Manager Qi was previously the city manager, we let Manager Qi fill in for a few days since the Changjiang Road store's manager position was vacant. This happened a few days ago, when you were hospitalized, General Manager Li. There were many things to do at that time, and it wasn't an official promotion, so we didn't tell you. "
Li Dong nodded and didn't say anything. He thought for a while and said, "Isn't it a bit too fast to let her be the city manager of Nanhu City?"
"General Manager Li, that's not a problem. Manager Qi just didn't use the right people. In the past half a year, Manager Qi has been working hard and has been the sales champion of the same store for a few months. It's only natural for her to be promoted. Otherwise, in the store system, only the second-tier store managers had the right to do so. But they're not as experienced as Manager Qi. Plus, Nanhu is second only to Pingchuan. We can't be at ease letting these people go there. "
Sun Tao's words hit the nail on the head. At the current stage, it was not suitable for the second-level store managers to be transferred to Nanhu.
As for the first-level store manager, there was only one Far away, the one in the Longhua store.
However, Li Dong didn't think much of him. He even said in public that he wasn't capable enough. Naturally, he wouldn't promote him now.
After thinking about it, the most suitable candidate was still Qi Yunna.
Qi Yunna did well in Mound City. Her sales kept rising, and she broke several records Far away.
If it wasn't for the corruption in Mound City that affected Qi Yunna, Li Dong wouldn't have recruited him.
Thinking about this, Li Dong didn't argue. He nodded and said, "Then let Qi Yunna go to Nanhu!"
After all, it was his company. Making money was his main business. Li Dong didn't want to leave Qi Yunna because he pretended to be clear-headed. Far away would suffer losses if that happened.
If he found someone unfamiliar with the situation to be the city manager, Far away might suffer heavy losses every month.
After talking about the Nanhu city manager, Li Dong directly sent a manager from the headquarters to take over Mound City. Mound City's importance was second to Nanhu, and the competition there was much less than Nanhu.
Li Dong couldn't be bothered to transfer the second-level store managers, so he directly chose to send the manager.
Sun Tao and the others didn't have any objections, and the decision was passed quickly.
After talking about the new stores in the two cities, Sun Tao reported a few more things. He didn't talk about the small things, but there were two important things.
The first thing was to get in touch with Longhua Group. This wasn't difficult.
Previously, Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe were almost done with their discussion. Sun Tao just had to sign the contract and get the money.
It would take a few days for Longhua's initial payment of 750 million yuan to arrive, which was mainly used to pay for the remaining payment on the land.
As for the rest of the money, everyone would get their capital back first, then Wang Ming would get sixty million yuan, and Li Dong would get about forty million yuan.
The rest of the money would have to wait for a while, and they wouldn't get it until at least August.
This was what they had discussed before, and Li Dong didn't have any objections. After Sun Tao finished speaking, Li Dong changed the subject.
Then, Sun Tao talked about the second thing, which was the acquisition.
It wasn't the acquisition of Time, but the supermarkets in other small and medium-sized cities in Jiangbei, which had been Sun Tao's previous proposal.
Sun Tao had been busy with this during this time, and had also contacted a lot of supermarkets, including quite a few small and medium-sized ones who were interested in selling them.
Of course, not all supermarkets Far away would accept them.
At the very least, they had to have a certain scale and influence in the local area, and they had to be sound assets with a good reputation. Otherwise, Far away wouldn't be a big fat sheep in the eyes of others.
