Yang Yun left, but she didn't leave quietly.
When she walked out of the Far Away Building, many people came to see her off.
Sun Tao, who was far away in Sunan, rushed back. Qi Yunna, who was busy taking over human resources, also appeared. Xie Hong, who was demoted a few days ago, also appeared …
In addition to these people, there was also Liu Qi.
She came to see off Yang Yun on behalf of Li Dong. Li Dong himself didn't appear, and he didn't want to appear.
Yang Yun's resignation attracted a lot of attention.
It wasn't until this moment that many new employees knew that there was such a big shot hidden in Faraway Group.
Sun Tao came back from thousands of miles away. General Manager Li personally came to persuade her to stay. This was a great honor and face.
Many people felt that it was a pity, especially those in the logistics company. They regretted it so much that their intestines turned green.
In fact, many people previously thought that the reason why Yang Yun could serve as the financial manager of the logistics company was because of Qin Hai.
But it wasn't until now that everyone understood that she didn't rely on Qin Hai, nor Qin Yuhan, who outsiders didn't know.
The reason why Yang Yun could serve as the financial manager was that she had the qualifications and qualifications.
She was one of the founders of Far Away. She fought together with Sun Tao and Li Dong. Many people didn't understand that the reason why Qin Hai could serve as the general manager of the subsidiary was actually a compensation from Li Dong to Yang Yun.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh. If they knew this, they would have been more attentive.
If they could let Yang Yun say a few words, maybe it could attract the attention of General Manager Li and CEO Sun.
Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now.
…
After sending off Yang Yun, Sun Tao entered Li Dong's office.
Seeing Li Dong standing by the window and staring out, he whispered, "Why didn't you send her off?"
Li Dong smiled faintly and said, "No need, it's not like we won't see each other again. She's my future mother-in-law. I can even go to her house for dinner every day. "
Sun Tao's earlier sadness immediately vanished. He could not help laughing as he said, "That's right. I was being unreasonable. Remember to call me over next time. Thinking back to the time when the three of us ate boxed lunches together, the days passed too quickly."
"Don't think about the past. We can think about it when we're old. Right now, we're looking at the future."
Li Dong stubbed out his cigarette and sat down. "How's the situation?"
"It's okay. Su Guo didn't make a move, and the other two companies also withdrew. Huarun and Bailian's encirclement won't affect much. If he really forced me into a corner, he would close all the shops in the other provinces. That would also help me make up my mind. "
Li Dong understood what he meant. He frowned slightly and said, "Close all the shops in other cities?"
"I have this thought."
"Why?"
"Era's shops are too scattered. They can't form a cluster effect in other provinces. Both the expenditure and the cost have increased significantly. I calculated. The shops in the other provinces didn't even contribute 20% to this era, but they took up half of the resources. Far away is unable to expand at present. Maybe it's more cost-effective to close them down. "
"No!"
Li Dong flatly refused. "We can't close them down. We have to continue even if it's a loss! Far away's strength will be completely exposed to others once we close them. At the same time, outsiders will see our weakness. We are strong. Even if we look strong on the outside but weak on the inside, others won't dare to make a move on us. But if we expose our weakness, hungry wolves will eat us alive! "
Sun Tao nodded and said, "I've considered this point, so I'm just thinking about it. But if Huarun and Huarun really push us too far, closing them down may be the only way out. Su Guo hasn't made a move yet. If Su Guo makes a move, I'll be ready to implement it. What do you think? "
"We'll talk about it later. Don't think about it now. These shops in other provinces are not useless. At least when we have the funds to expand, these shops will be our bridgehead and vanguard. When we took over Era, we valued these shops. If we give up now, the loss will be too great. I won't give up unless it's a last resort. "
Hearing Li Dong's words, Sun Tao thought about it and didn't refute.
It was too early to discuss whether to close them down or not.
Far away couldn't support them at that time, and they had to close them down.
Far away had expanded too fast in the past two years. The battle line was too long, and the funds and manpower couldn't keep up. Sun Tao wanted to slow down.
But Li Dong didn't agree, and he couldn't do anything about it.
And Sun Tao still had some worries in his heart. The drawbacks of the battle line being too long were now slowly manifesting.
First of all, there were many management loopholes.
Nowadays, there were more than one or two retail companies that were expanding across the country. But very few of them were expanding as fast as Far away. Also, the drawbacks of these companies were manifesting.
They were different from Carrefour, Wal-Mart, and other foreign companies that were expanding across the country. These foreign stores had decades of management experience and accumulation.
Their standardized management was enough to support the national distribution. Far away had only been established for two years, and it seemed a little rash to start a large-scale expansion now.
This was also the reason why Li Dong set up the Ministry of Supervision. There were loopholes in the management system, and Li Dong had to spend a lot of manpower and resources to plug these loopholes.
Zhou Haidong had transferred a large number of elites under him, and these people were now conducting a large-scale inspection in Jiangbei.
Why?
It was because of the management problems. Otherwise, these elites could bring more value to Far away.
This was the first point. The second point was the problem of management, the problem of the management personnel.
Sun Tao didn't want to talk about this problem, but he was really helpless in his heart.
Li Dong was still too conservative. Right now, the power of Far Away was completely in Li Dong's hands. Far Away's success or failure depended entirely on Li Dong.
Moreover, the senior management personnel that he used were all related. Whether it was Qin Hai, Shen Qian, or Sun Tao himself, it was enough to show Li Dong's selfishness.
The group hadn't added new blood for a long time. If this went on, Sun Tao was very worried that it would have an impact on the current management personnel.
Once the current management personnel were lost, it would be a bolt from the blue.
Although this hidden worry hadn't erupted yet, it would happen sooner or later. Now, Sun Tao really wanted to talk to Li Dong about the reform.
But when the words reached his mouth, Sun Tao held them back.
In addition to the above two points, the third thing that Sun Tao was worried about was the problem of the capital chain.
Because Li Dong's expansion speed was too fast, Far Away's capital chain could be broken at any time.
Faraway Group, which was valued at seven billion, currently had more than half of its debt. According to the actual market value and debt, it was a 100% debt ratio.
This was a very scary thing. If there was a problem with the capital chain, Far Away's bankruptcy and restructuring would be in front of them.
Just as Sun Tao was deep in thought, Li Dong was also deep in thought.
The problem that Sun Tao considered, Li Dong naturally also considered.
In fact, he understood his current state better than Sun Tao. It seemed to be flourishing, but in fact, it was full of hidden dangers.
If there was really a comparison, Li Dong thought of a company that was very similar to Far Away.
That was Shenzhen's New Yijia!
New Yijia's development path was very similar to Far Away's. It even entered the top 20 supermarket chains in the past two years, and its annual turnover was as high as ten billion.
Similarly, New Yijia was also rapidly expanding and began to take the national route.
The current New Yijia seemed to be thriving and vigorous, and it had even been inspected by national leaders.
But Li Dong knew that when he was reborn, New Yijia was already insolvent and facing bankruptcy and restructuring. Suppliers and distributors from all over the country collectively surrounded the government to ask for their debts.
A well-known large retail company in the country, a private benchmark company that had been praised by the provincial government and the State Council, ended up in such a miserable state. It had to be said that it was a great wake-up call for Li Dong.
This time, while Sun Tao was back, Li Dong also decided to change.
Especially after Yang Yun left, it seemed to wake Li Dong up. His current state had to change.
If this continued, Far Away was likely to be the next New Yijia.
Even if Li Dong was there, he might not be able to reverse the situation.
Li Dong, who was wholeheartedly preparing to build a commercial aircraft carrier, naturally didn't want to see such an outcome. He didn't want to exit the business world in the most dire state.
The two were silent for a while, and Li Dong broke the silence. "I want to hire a team of professional managers to manage Far Away, and sort out the loopholes in Far Away's management system. What do you think?"
Sun Tao slightly frowned and said, "It's doable, but such a high-level team is hard to find. This is the first point, the second … "
"What's the second point?"
Seeing that Sun Tao didn't say anything, Li Dong asked.
Sun Tao took a breath and said softly, "Second, whether it's a professional manager or an existing senior executive, there's not much difference. What I really want to say is that we lack an incentive plan."
"Hmm?"
"Equity incentive!"
Sun Tao bit the bullet and said, "In a modern enterprise, equity incentive is the most effective and direct way to tie senior executives and employees to the enterprise's chariot. Far Away's salary is high, and the treatment is good, but the ones who can stay are the low-level employees. The real senior executives don't have much sense of belonging. If other enterprises can offer slightly better conditions, the possibility of senior executives jumping ship is as high as 90%. General Manager Li, equity incentive may be the best way to solve the current predicament Far Away is in! "
"Equity incentive …"
Li Dong's pupils shrank. Seeing this, Sun Tao said, "In fact, this is good for both General Manager Li and the company. Equity incentive will stabilize the employees' emotions and strengthen their sense of belonging. Also, it will be easier to attract outstanding talents from outside and increase the company's talent pool. Also, equity incentive will not dilute General Manager Li's shares. This is just a corporate dividend right … "
"I know."
Li Dong waved his hand and interrupted, "I know what you're talking about, but equity incentives aren't as simple as four words. This requires a complete plan and system. In addition, I also need to consider other things. Giving people dividends is not a guarantee to retain talents. I have to think about it. "
"General Manager Li …"
Sun Tao wanted to say more, but Li Dong pressed his hand and said, "Don't think that I'm really stubborn. I'm not rejecting your proposal, but I really need to think about it."
Sun Tao listened to Li Dong and glanced at him. Seeing him frowning and deep in thought, Sun Tao didn't say anything in the end.
Equity incentive. In fact, this was not Sun Tao's demand.
It was the collective demand of Faraway Group's senior executives. Li Dong had delayed implementing it. In fact, Far Away's senior executives were a little impetuous.
Like a barrel of dynamite, Sun Tao was worried that if this continued, it might really blow up Far Away.
In fact, when the group was established, that was the best time to implement it. Unfortunately, Li Dong didn't mention it, and others couldn't take the initiative to say it.
Now that it had been delayed until now, Li Dong still didn't show any signs of this. Sun Tao couldn't help but be anxious.
Not only was he anxious, but others were also anxious.
In the long run, who would have the mood to continue working?
The office was silent again. Li Dong was thinking about things, and so was Sun Tao.
It wasn't until Chen Ke entered the door that the silent atmosphere was broken.
After greeting Li Dong and Sun Tao, Chen Ke whispered, "General Manager Li, the preview invitation for Jin Ding Jewelry has been sent. Tomorrow is the preview of the auction. Are you going?"
"Preview …" Li Dong thought about it and shook his head. "I won't go to the preview. I'm going to the auction this time mainly to boost Ji Lanxin's popularity. It doesn't matter if I go or not."
Sun Tao heard the two talking about the auction and felt that the atmosphere was a little heavy. He changed the topic. "What auction?"
"Ji Lanxin is organizing a top jewelry auction and wants to break into the top jewelry market. Isn't Jin Ding currently working with us? Ji Lanxin invited me to support her, and I agreed. "
Sun Tao laughed when he heard it. "General Manager Ji is quite bold. If it weren't for Sunan being busy, I would like to go and have a look."
"If you want to go, it's not a problem to stay for a few days. The auction starts the night after tomorrow. It won't delay it for two or three days."
"Forget it. Times can't do without people at the moment. If it weren't for Manager Yang's resignation, I wouldn't have come back this time. Let's wait for the future. I'll join in the fun when I'm free. "
The two talked for a while, and Sun Tao was ready to rush back to Sunan.
Li Dong sent him downstairs. When they got in the car, Li Dong asked, "How's Yuan Chengdao doing now?"
"Pretty good. He contributed a lot to Times being able to stabilize so quickly."
Li Dong nodded.
Sun Tao thought for a moment and said, "Since you're going to find a professional manager, it means that you've thought it through. In that case, Yuan Chengdao may be a suitable candidate."
"Him?"
Li Dong frowned slightly. Sun Tao looked around, thought for a moment, and said, "I know what you're worried about, but a professional manager, no matter how good he is, is just a working emperor. When the day comes and you feel that he's not suitable, you can let him go at any time. "
"You dare to say that."
Li Dong laughed and nodded. "Okay, I'll think about it. Also, tell him that if he wants to sit in this position, he has to show me what he's capable of. Didn't you say equity incentives? Tell him to put down what he's doing and come up with a plan for me. If I feel that it's feasible, maybe this is the opportunity for him to sit in this position. What do you think? "
Sun Tao chuckled. "I'll pass it on. That's all I can help. Whether Yuan Chengdao is suitable or not depends on him."
With that, Sun Tao waved his hand, and the black car quickly disappeared in front of Li Dong.
