In March 2007, Li Dong had a lot of personal and business matters.
Not to mention his personal life, there were also a lot of things in the group.
The cooperation with Suning officially kicked off. From the beginning of March, Suning sent people to contact Qi Yunna. Now the two sides were selecting sites in the Beijing-Tianjin area.
Zhang Jindong and Li Dong's intentions were very clear. Fast, fast, fast!
Since they had made up their minds to fight, the two were not indecisive people. They quickly reached a decision to set up the early stage quickly.
Faraway Group's plans were not only in Beijing-Tianjin.
Including the previous cooperation in Lu Province, Jiangzhe Province, Gan Province, and Hubei Province, they were all on Faraway Group's agenda.
This was just the supermarket. In terms of logistics and shopping malls, the group gradually accelerated the pace of expansion.
In addition to the real estate company consolidating the results, three of the four pillar industries Far Away Group were rapidly expanding.
When it came to expansion, it was inseparable from the word money.
At the end of last year, Faraway Group's total debt was as high as 6 billion, and 4 billion of the debt was due in March.
With so many debts due at once, whether it was Yuan Chengdao or other people in the group, they were always surrounded by a sense of urgency.
Just at this time, Yuan Chengdao began a bold reform and assessment.
Originally, Li Dong's suggestion to him was to start the assessment this year. He meant that the past could be ignored, and everyone would start from scratch.
In the end, it was unknown whether Yuan Chengdao misunderstood his meaning, or Yuan Chengdao's own obsessive-compulsive disorder was acting up.
This guy had just implemented the assessment system, and he began to pursue the system. He adopted a year-end assessment for the senior executives of the group!
The year-end naturally referred to the results of the 2006 KPI assessment.
Not only for individuals, but also for the performance of the entire department. Yuan Chengdao adopted more severe punishment measures. Joint liability!
In other words, if the overall performance of the department was not up to standard, even if some of the senior executives passed the assessment, they would also be jointly liable. This liability extended to the head of the department.
Such a large-scale assessment and punishment suddenly caused panic within the group.
On March 12th, Yuan Chengdao waved his hand and two directors of the group were forced to resign.
On the 13th of March, Yuan Chengdao made another vicious move, and three senior managers from the headquarters were taken down.
On March 14th, four or five department heads could not withstand the pressure and took the initiative to resign.
March 15th …
In just one week, the number of middle and senior managers who were forced or took the initiative to resign exceeded ten!
For a time, the Faraway Group was shrouded by dark clouds.
…
Blessings never come in pairs, but misfortunes never come alone.
Just as Yuan Chengdao was making bold and decisive reforms, the dark clouds had yet to disperse, and the storm came!
Faraway Group was in a crisis of capital chain rupture!
Liu Ke and Chang Qiqi's long-awaited revenge finally came. In just one day, the Faraway Group instantly dominated the Internet and newspapers.
Faraway Group, which claimed to have tens of billions of assets, was actually insolvent.
That was what everyone saw.
A tabloid even analyzed the financial status of Faraway Group in detail.
In 2006, Faraway expanded rapidly and invested up to tens of billions of funds. At the beginning of 2007, Faraway Group expanded again.
On New Year's Day, Faraway acquired Greenland, followed by Far Away acquiring Pengfei and Beichuan Real Estate. Just these three mergers and acquisitions, in the outside world's estimation, Far Away invested at least 5 billion.
Just after this wave of mergers and acquisitions, Far Away began to cooperate with Suning, with an investment of more than 2 billion.
In addition, Far Away's contact with Zhongbai was also exposed, and Far Away's plan to enter the Central China market was completely exposed.
In addition, Far Away established a charity fund, as well as a large-scale employee welfare plan, all of which added up to another 10 billion.
In two years, an investment of up to 20 billion.
Faraway Group's profits, the supermarket business only exceeded 1 billion. As for the real estate company, it was subconsciously ignored.
Twenty times the income and expenditure ratio, where did Far Away get so much money?
Far Away was insolvent, how long could it last?
Far Away expanded crazily, could it continue to be like its founder, Li Dong?
One by one, shocking question marks pushed Faraway Group to the teeth of the storm.
…
March 17th.
Faraway Group held a group meeting.
Li Dong arrived at the conference room early and sat in his seat in a daze without saying a word.
When Yuan Chengdao and many other senior executives were seated, the meeting officially began.
Liu Qi, who presided over the meeting, had just finished speaking when Sun Tao, who rushed back from Sunan, said, "President Yuan, I have a few questions to ask you!"
Yuan Chengdao said with a serious face, "President Sun, please speak."
Sun Tao was slightly emotional, "In one week, one in ten senior executives Far Away will be gone. Did we agree on this? Your so-called assessment, where did the standards come from? The three directors and three managers who left are all old people who joined in 2004. Far Away, is it appropriate for President Yuan to cut them all off? Killing the chicken to warn the monkey is not the way to play! Your so-called assessment, in my opinion, is to eliminate dissidents. President Yuan, I need you to give me an explanation, an explanation to everyone! Far Away is everyone's Far Away, not just your Far Away! "
Sun Tao was the first to speak. In fact, everyone had already expected it.
The executives that Yuan Chengdao removed this time were mostly Sun Tao's people.
It might not be appropriate to say that they were Sun Tao's people. In fact, it should be said that the old people who joined in 2004 and 2005 were all considered as Sun Tao's people.
When Li Dong was still in school, except for the financial power, almost all the human resources and other rights were handed over to Sun Tao.
Far Away did not have such a high reputation in the early days of the company.
Far Away's executives were almost all roped in by Sun Tao. Some of them were his friends, some were his old colleagues.
Later on, although Li Dong reorganized and adjusted part of the company, there were still many who rose to high positions in the past two years.
Now that Yuan Chengdao directly targeted this group of people, in everyone's opinion, this was destroying Sun Tao's foundation.
Of course, everyone knew that Sun Tao was making things difficult, but no one expected him to be so blunt. He even said that he wanted to exclude dissidents. It was obvious that Sun Tao was extremely angry at this time.
After Sun Tao finished speaking, Yuan Chengdao sorted out his thoughts and said slowly, "President Sun, don't be impatient. Let me finish speaking. If you still feel that it is not suitable, then we can discuss again. The assessment standards you mentioned are not the standards that I, Yuan Chengdao, personally set, but the general assessment standards of every company.
On this point, I have sought the opinions of many famous HR people in the country and abroad, and I have also reported to General Manager Li.
Also, as you said, I am targeting the old employees. I cannot accept this.
What you see does not represent the truth. Actually, everyone knows why the old employees in 2004 became the first batch of candidates to be reorganized.
I'm not afraid to say something offensive, those who joined in 2005 and 2006 are all elites with high academic qualifications.
Far away from the initial stage, most of them do not have high academic qualifications and are not capable enough.
I did not overthrow everyone. Sometimes, academic qualifications are just a stepping stone. The key is still to rely on one's own hard work!
Like President Qi and Director Hu, who joined in 2004, they are also veterans and even important management personnel of the company. Did I target them?
Everything I did was not because of personal grudges. I dare to pat my chest and say that the reason why they left was because they did not work hard enough and were not conscientious enough!
President Sun can see the assessment results himself. Far away, being one step slower is mediocre, being two steps slower is dereliction of duty, but being three or four steps slower is a crime!
If the company wants to go on the right track, pain is necessary! "
Yuan Chengdao's words seemed to stab Sun Tao. Sun Tao flew into a rage and said, "What a good 'labor pain is necessary'!"
"These people have worked hard even if they didn't make any contributions. Do you know how much they have suffered for us to reach where we are now?"
"You didn't even give them a chance. You denied them everything with just a word of pain!"
"Don't talk about others, just talk about Supervisor Mr. Zhang Tao in the Quality Inspection Department. Do you know? In 2005, in order to win the Tongshan market, Supervisor Mr. Zhang worked hard in Tongshan for more than three months. He wore out five or six pairs of leather shoes. I saw all of this with my own eyes!
When you forced Zhang Tao to resign, what did you say?
You said that he was old and muddled, and you denied all his credit!
Could it be that the Distance Group no longer had any humanity left? I'm not naive. I just want to say that rigid rules and so-called KPI data really represent everything.
At least, I dare to say that you, Yuan Chengdao, do not have the loyalty and enthusiasm of people like us to the group!
If they are not capable enough, they can learn, they can be punished, or even demoted. However, you directly forced them to resign. What are you trying to do?
Yuan Chengdao, you don't have to use those principles to pressure me. I know these things better than you.
Is this what it means to walk on the right track? "
Sun Tao, who had always been considered an honest person, was furious today. He even said the words "the birds are gone", which suddenly made everyone's face change.
Even Yuan Chengdao couldn't stand it at this time. These words were too serious.
It was fine for Sun Tao to scold him. In terms of qualifications, he couldn't compare to Sun Tao. In terms of credit, he couldn't compare to Sun Tao.
In fact, it was Sun Tao's recommendation that allowed him to be promoted.
However, the latter sentence of Sun Tao wasn't directed at him. Those who could sit in the conference room for a meeting were all senior executives of the group. Who was a fool?
One of the founders of the company, the oldest veteran, was now firing at Li Dong.
Originally, the meeting was to solve the problem of capital chain rupture. However, no one expected that because of Sun Tao's attack, it instantly became a showdown between the two founders.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Li Dong. They wanted to see how Li Dong felt at this moment.
Li Dong wasn't as angry as everyone thought, and he didn't lose his temper.
Compared to others, he could understand Sun Tao's mood at the moment.
Along the way, it was impossible to say that the original group of veterans didn't have any feelings at all.
Even Li Dong had feelings for them, let alone Sun Tao.
Although Sun Tao was usually taciturn, in fact, he was more emotional than Li Dong.
It could be seen from the way he pulled people in. He didn't care about Li Dong's taboo. At the beginning of the company, he pulled in a group of old friends and colleagues. On the one hand, it was because he was nostalgic, and on the other hand, it was because he wanted to share wealth with everyone.
As a result, the group was established, and the original sharing of wealth seemed to be able to be realized.
At this time, Sun Tao was actually satisfied. He was so satisfied that he didn't even have any desire or ambition.
However, when Yuan Chengdao killed this group of people, Sun Tao finally got angry and finally exploded.
I retreated again and again. Is this how you treat me?
I gave up the position of the group's CEO, gave up the power to control the entire supermarket system, and guarded the Sunan alone. In the end, is this how you hurt me?
One sentence of the group's needs, one sentence of labor pain, and you can erase all the credit of these old people?
Sun Tao wasn't reconciled. It could even be said that he felt betrayed.
Not only by Yuan Chengdao's betrayal, but also by Li Dong's betrayal.
Others didn't understand his thoughts, but how could Li Dong not understand?
Li Dong understood!
But he just acquiesced to this result, acquiesced to everything that Yuan Chengdao did.
At this moment, Sun Tao had no choice but to fight back.
Even if it was like a moth flying into a flame, Sun Tao didn't want to die in silence. His enthusiasm and loyalty shouldn't be betrayed and abandoned like this.
