After discussing Yuan Chengdao with Shen Qian, Li Dong didn't talk about business anymore.
After chatting for a while, Li Dong asked, "How's the renovation going at the provincial party committee compound?"
"It's almost done. Let's get some fresh air."
"Can we move in at the end of this month?"
Shen Qian curiously asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Li Dong casually said, "Didn't I say before that Xiaoyu and Shitou will change schools? They can move in at the end of the month and sign up for school. "
After hearing Li Dong mention the two girls, Shen Qian hesitated. She thought about it and said, "Are you really going to keep the two girls by your side?"
Li Dong frowned and looked at her without saying anything.
Shen Qian softly said, "Don't look at me like that. I didn't mean it that way. But you're a young, unmarried man. It's not convenient for you to keep two little girls by your side.
You don't have time to take care of them, and it won't be good if word gets out.
In fact, I think it's better for the two girls to find a rich family.
You can give them material needs, but can you give them feelings and family?
Think about it yourself. Let's not talk about other things. How many times have you visited them in the past six months?
Li Dong, sometimes it's good to be kind, but if you make decisions like this, not only will you cause trouble for yourself, but you might also hurt others. "
Li Dong frowned and said after a while, "We'll talk about this later. Let's wait for two years. I'll first cure Little Shitou's illness. At that time, they'll be older and more mature. I'll ask for their opinions. "
As soon as Shen Qian heard this, she knew that this guy was just brushing her off. Wait for two years?
Wait for two years and everyone has feelings for each other. Would he be willing to let others adopt these two children?
However, some things were fine with just a few words. If he continued, it would only make Li Dong complain.
Shen Qian didn't mention this again. She continued the previous topic, "If it's really urgent, we can move in at the end of the month. The materials used for the renovation were the best. Many of them were pure natural materials. It would only take a few days for them to smell good. I'll help you settle the other two girls' schooling in case you forget about it. "
"Alright, thank you very much."
"You don't have to be so polite with me. Right, what about you? Are you going to move in too? "
Li Dong rubbed his chin and thought for a while before saying, "It depends on the situation. They will probably move in. My grandmother and uncle are both at home now, and my cousin is going to get married soon. Recently, it's been very noisy with people coming and going, and there's not enough space. I'll pack some clothes and move in later. "
When Shen Qian heard that he was also moving in, she immediately smiled and said, "Then let's take some time to buy some furniture and decorate it?"
"Let Chen Ke handle this. I still have a lot of things to do."
"No need, Chen Ke. You go ahead with your work. I'll buy it for you."
Li Dong glanced at her and saw that she was eager to try. He laughed and said, "As long as you're happy. But you'll be busy here. Do you have time to do this?"
"No problem!"
"Then do as you please." Li Dong said as he stood up. "I still have something to deal with here. Let's talk later. I'm in a hurry."
Seeing that Li Dong was about to leave, Shen Qian couldn't help but say, "Are you going to see Qin Yuhan?"
Li Dong said helplessly, "Why are you becoming more and more narrow-minded? Yuhan accompanied Aunty Yang to pay New Year's greetings to the various aunties. She's not even in Pingchuan. Where can I go to meet her?"
"I'll go to the Greenland to have a look. The association's listing will be on the 28th. It's only a few days away. I still have to discuss the agreement with Zhang Jindong that day, and I have to invite a lot of important people. I won't be at ease if I don't go and see. "
When she heard that Li Dong was not going to see Qin Yuhan, Shen Qian immediately smiled.
Then she said with a smile, "Then I'll accompany you to the Greenland Building?"
The association had to have a place to work for them.
Hsu Shengzhe and the others were willing to provide the office for free, but Li Dong wouldn't put the association under other people's noses just to save some money.
After Dongyu acquired Greenland, they closed some of the redundant departments and moved some of the Greenland employees to the Far away Building. Now there were still a few empty floors in Greenland.
Since Li Dong didn't intend to rent it out, he could use it as an office for the association.
In this way, not only could he completely control the association, but outsiders would also feel that the association's level was high enough.
Shen Qian insisted on going, and Li Dong didn't stop her.
There weren't many things to do in the company now. The ones that were busy were the supermarket and real estate. There weren't many things to do in the shopping mall. Shen Qian wasn't busy, so she went.
…
In the midst of busyness, the New Year passed just like that.
After the eighth day of the New Year, everyone who should go to work had gone to work, and the festive atmosphere gradually dissipated.
Cao Feng's wedding date was also set a few days after Lin Meng's parents arrived at Pingchuan. They would be getting married on the sixteenth day of the first month.
The reason why they chose this day was because of Li Dong.
He had been busy during this period of time, and Cao Feng and Lin Meng knew that if they were to get married at this time, Li Dong might not have the time to attend.
But Li Dong was the most important person in the Cao family. If he didn't have the time, then the prestige of the wedding would be reduced by half.
90% of people only had one wedding in their lifetime.
It would be fine if their family didn't have a big shot like Li Dong. But since they did, and their relationship was not bad, Cao Feng and Lin Meng naturally wanted to be in the limelight.
Li Dong didn't care about the young couple's thoughts. In fact, even if the wedding was set on the sixth or eighth day of the first month, he would still attend no matter how busy he was.
He had a good impression of his cousin, Cao Feng. He had been working conscientiously in the supermarket, and had never talked about his relationship with Li Dong.
Later on, he and Wang Jie were asked to manage the stock market. Although Cao Feng knew nothing about it, he didn't object. He often took time to learn about the stock market by himself, and sometimes asked Tang Kuan and the rest for advice.
After half a year, Li Dong was dumbfounded by the stock market jargon that a layman could use.
Plus, Cao Feng was his cousin, so Li Dong would take care of him no matter what.
Of course, this was also because Cao Feng had worked hard enough.
Otherwise, he would have learned from Li Nanming. Li Dong couldn't be bothered to care about their life and death.
Although he wasn't in Qingyang, for the current Li Dong, as long as he wanted to know something, it was too easy. There were plenty of people who were willing to help him inquire about it.
Ever since the incident with the fake brother-in-law, Li Dong had gotten someone to investigate Li Nanming.
That guy was as useless as ever. He used Li Dong's name to take on a few projects in Qingyang.
Originally, if it was just like that, Li Dong didn't want to say anything. It was fine if he borrowed Li Dong's name, as long as he didn't cut corners and embarrass himself.
Who knew that when he investigated again, Li Dong only had one thought at that time. Whether this guy died or not, he wouldn't care about him in the future.
After Li Nanming took on the project, he didn't let his own engineering team do it, but contracted it to a third party!
What did those people under him do?
They went to do demolition work!
In Li Dong's opinion, doing demolition work was no different from gangsters.
Far away, he had a real estate company under his name. How could he not know?
So far away, he didn't encounter any demolition work. Even if he did, Li Dong didn't plan to do it himself. He would either hand it over to the government or outsource it. Anyway, he didn't plan to get involved in this industry.
Zhu Honggui, who had enmity with Li Dong in the past, was also in this industry. When others heard that he was in this industry, they would look down on him.
Li Nanming didn't do any proper business and subcontracted the project to someone else. Instead, he went to do this himself. Li Dong had completely given up on him.
Anyway, he had already informed Qingyang. In the future, if Li Nanming had any problems, Li Dong wouldn't stand up for him. He was too lazy to care about that guy's business now.
Because there were still a few days before Cao Feng's wedding, and the two families were busy, Li Dong didn't care much about it.
Just when he was busy preparing for the listing of the association, on the tenth day of the first month, which was February 27th, something big happened!
For others or in other industries, many people might not notice this news at all.
But for the dominators of the retail industry and the chain industry, this news was absolutely shocking.
Wal-Mart acquired Trust-Mart!
The total capital involved was one billion US dollars!
This was known as the largest acquisition in the domestic retail industry. Before the first month, it set off a storm in the retail industry.
…
On the afternoon of the 27th, Li Dong rushed back to the company.
As soon as he entered the company, Chen Ke said hurriedly, "General Manager Li, everyone is waiting for you in the conference room."
Li Dong nodded and went straight to the conference room without saying anything.
In the conference room.
The main people in charge of the supermarket were all there, but many people that Li Dong was familiar with were missing.
Qi Yunna went to Beijing. Sun Tao, Wang Yue, and others also went to other places to take charge. Now the new vice president of the supermarket, Zhang Mingduo, was in charge.
The meeting was chaired by Zhang Mingduo. Zhang Mingduo was not too old. He was just in his early forties.
His looks were average, and he wasn't very tall. However, just by standing there, one could feel that he was smart and capable.
Zhang Mingduo, who had a crew cut, saw Li Dong enter and bowed slightly. "General Manager Li, you're here."
Li Dong nodded, found a seat in the front row, and sat down. He asked directly, "Where were we?"
"We were talking about the impact of this matter on us."
"Go on, I'll just listen."
Zhang Mingduo saw this and did not bother to be polite. He continued, "Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Trust-Mart's business does not have much of a conflict with ours. Previously, they have been operating in the South China market. So far, they have no business in South China. So even if they want to expand, their first target will be the major retail companies in South China. Wal-Mart has just acquired Trust-Mart and needs some time to digest it. During this period, everyone should maintain a stable situation … "
Zhang Mingduo first said that it was not harmful. When everyone nodded in agreement, Zhang Mingduo smiled and said, "Of course, we can't just ignore it."
"In fact, CEO Wang should be the one having a headache now. Once Wal-Mart stabilizes the situation, when the South China market is saturated, they will definitely choose to enter the East China market. In East China, Shanghai and Jiangzhe should be their main targets. The Jiangzhe market has just opened up, and Trust-Mart is going to enter the market soon. It seems that we have to ask CEO Wang to speed up the process. Faraway Supermarket will give some resources to CEO Wang in the next few months. General Manager Li, what do you think? "
Li Dong nodded and said, "That's what we should do. Moreover, CEO Wang is also responsible for the expansion in other areas. During this period, try to tilt the manpower and resources to the Jiangzhe market. Also, Trust-Mart's acquisition is just the beginning. Although it will not affect us much, don't let your guard down.
This is just the first wave of acquisitions. Since 2004, the retail industry has been undergoing mergers and acquisitions. Last year, it reached a peak.
Wumart acquired Meilian and Xinhua Department Stores, Gome acquired Yongle, Best Buy acquired Five Star, Home Depot and Meitel acquired some Home World stores, and China Resources acquired many small and medium-sized supermarkets in Jiangzhe …
Last year, all the major companies were expanding.
Far away also acquired Times and Kelong last year. The retail industry has been reshuffling in recent years.
According to the information I received, China Resources will soon acquire the remaining Home World stores, and soon there will be one less retail giant.
Trust-Mart doesn't have much to do with us, but once we sign an agreement with Suning, it will be a big problem.
Everyone, keep your spirits up this year. The battle has already begun!
This year, Faraway Supermarket will launch an all-out attack. Whether it is a dragon or a worm, it is up to you!
Tomorrow, the Jiangbei Association will be established. In the evening, Suning's Chairman Zhang will rush over. We will negotiate overnight. If there are no accidents, tomorrow, the strategic cooperation between Far away and Suning will be officially announced.
You are now the backbone of the company, and your salary is calculated according to your annual salary.
But are you satisfied with this?
All of you, get excited. When Distance Entertainment achieves its strategic goals this year, next year when you're sitting here again, I hope that your annual salary won't be in the hundreds or hundreds of thousands, but in the millions!
The opportunity is in front of you. Whether you can seize it or not, it is up to you.
The New Year has just begun, and Wal-Mart has given us a good start. Today, I am not here to pour cold water on everyone, but to remind everyone that the era of the storm is coming!
Everyone, work hard! "
Li Dong was full of passion, and the others gradually had an excited look on their faces.
Has the great era begun?
Far away will move south to Zhejiang, west to Sichuan, and north to Beijing and Tianjin. Once these major strategies are completed, what will happen next year's Far Away?
At that time, can the manager of a subsidiary company still satisfy them?
Regional CEO, branch CEO, these positions are all waiting for them.
At the very least, being a provincial city manager might be better than what they are now.
Once Far away continues to expand the market, they will be the next CEO candidate. This is simply unlimited!
After Li Dong finished speaking, everyone quickly responded in unison.
Li Dong laughed for a while, then stood up and said, "Mr. Zhang, you continue the meeting. I won't say much. In addition, in the afternoon, you and CEO Yuan will accompany me to receive Suning's Chairman Zhang. Wal-Mart has set off a bomb. We have to set off a bomb tomorrow, in case everyone forgets about us! "
Zhang Mingduo heard this and quickly said excitedly, "Director Li, I can go anytime."
"Okay, then I won't say much."
After Li Dong left the meeting room, Zhang Mingduo secretly clenched his fists.
CEO Yuan letting him take over the supermarket was indeed a great move. In just a few days, he could immediately enter the core team of the group.
The strategic cooperation with Suning involved billions of funds. He did not expect to be able to participate in it now.
