Office.
Shen Qian was working with her head down. When she heard the door open, she did not even raise her head. "Why are you here today?"
"Look at what you're saying."
Li Dong laughed. "I'm a big boss. I'm here to see if my employees are slacking off. Do I need a reason?"
Shen Qian laughed. She raised her head and looked at him. "Now that you're done with your inspection, do you see how diligent I am? Your employees are so hardworking. Don't you have some benefits as a boss? "
Li Dong nodded. "Of course there are benefits."
"What? Don't tell me it's a warehouse full of carrots? "Shen Qian joked.
Li Dong chuckled. "Am I that stingy? We'll talk about the benefits later. There will be a board meeting the day after tomorrow. Remember to attend. I'll distribute your benefits then. "
Hearing Li Dong say this, Shen Qian was stunned. She said seriously, "Board meeting? Are you serious?"
Far Away's board members were different from other companies. Sun Tao, Qin Hai, and the others were all big shots.
Far Away almost never held a board meeting if there was nothing particularly important.
Once a board meeting was held, it meant that something big was about to happen.
Far Away's last board meeting was when they were facing a debt crisis. After that, whether it was the Beijing and Tianjin expansion plan or the Sino-American cooperation plan, these were all big things. But Li Dong did not hold a board meeting.
Now that there was suddenly a meeting, Shen Qian was naturally a little surprised.
Li Dong was not in a hurry to reply. He walked to the window and looked downstairs. "Why did you move down?"
"You're not in the company. I'm too lazy to go up and down. Let's not talk about this first. You haven't told me what the board meeting is for. "
"The environment downstairs is not very good. I'll get someone to plant some flowers and grass down there. It'll look more pleasing to the eye."
Shen Qian rolled her eyes. "I'm asking you a question. Why do you care about these chores?"
Li Dong smiled and said, "A good office environment is also a means to keep people. I'm afraid that you will run away, so I have to find a way to keep you here."
Shen Qian frowned when she heard this. After a while, she said, "Did you hear some bad news?"
Li Dong shook his head and found a chair to sit on. He paced around a few times before saying, "It's not that I heard the news. I'm just a little worried. Your family's Old Du is leaving. If you run away with him, what should I do? You're my strategist now, and I can't do without you, so I have to find a way to make you fall in love with me. "
Shen Qian rolled her eyes again and said snappily, "Boring! Far away, you can't leave me. What about you? "
Originally, she thought that Li Dong would definitely change the topic. Unexpectedly, Li Dong nodded and said, "I can't leave you either."
Shen Qian was stunned for a moment. She stepped forward and touched his forehead. After a while, she laughed and said, "Do you have a fever today?"
Li Dong let her touch his head and said with a smile, "I don't have a fever. I'm telling the truth. Although I'm a little tired of seeing you every day, I'm quite reluctant to see you leave. I thought about it and think it's better for you to stay … "
Shen Qian was angry and amused at the same time. This guy was always like this.
It was obviously good words, but when it came out of his mouth, she didn't know whether she should be angry or happy.
She knew his character and knew that it was not easy for him to say these words.
Gently rubbing his head, Shen Qian smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't listen to other people's nonsense. I won't leave. It's not easy to see you and Far away until now. I still want to see the scenery of Far away in the next ten years. In the next twenty years, you will be all-powerful in the business world. If I leave at this time, wouldn't it be a big loss? "
"That's good. I think I can sleep well tonight."
Li Dong laughed, closed his eyes, and stopped talking.
Shen Qian looked at him suspiciously. She thought for a moment and said, "Wan Tong …"
Li Dong waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about work. Chat with me."
Shen Qian said helplessly, "We can chat at any time. Wan Tong is about to go online. I have some questions …"
"Find Yuan Chengdao for this matter. Don't ask me. I said I don't want to talk about work. Sit with me. "
Seeing that Li Dong insisted, Shen Qian had to stop talking about work. She moved a chair and sat next to him.
The two of them did not talk much. Shen Qian was the one talking, and Li Dong was the one listening.
After some time, Shen Qian glanced at Li Dong. This guy was already snoring slightly. Obviously, he was really asleep.
Seeing this scene, Shen Qian couldn't help but laugh.
…
April 22nd, Far away held a board meeting.
Several board members were actually a bit puzzled. They didn't know why Li Dong wanted to have a meeting.
Since the establishment of the board of directors, the number of meetings was very few.
Usually, before a meeting, there would be a procedure. People roughly knew what the meeting was going to say. But this time, everyone was confused. They only knew that there was a meeting, but they didn't know what the meeting was about.
When Sun Tao and others entered the meeting room, Liu Qi was already there.
As the company's secretary and Li Dong's confidant, even Yuan Chengdao was very polite to Liu Qi.
Everyone chatted for a while. When they saw that Liu Hongmei and the chief consultant of the legal department were also there, Sun Tao and others were puzzled.
Liu Qi saw this and explained, "General Manager Li informed us. This time, CEO Liu and Consultant Chen will be attending the meeting."
Sun Tao and the others nodded, but they became even more suspicious in their hearts.
The directors of the legal department and finance department were attending the meeting. Could it be that what General Manager Li announced today had something to do with them?
Or was it related to money or the law? What was going to be said?
Although they were puzzled, no one asked questions at this time.
Everyone found their seats and sat down. They began to talk with each other.
Liu Qi sat at the back and watched them talk quietly.
It was said that bystanders see more clearly. At this moment, Liu Qi clearly saw something.
Including herself, there were a total of eight people present. Not to mention the two directors, among the six directors, other than the nominal director of the union and herself, the other four people seemed to be chatting happily, but in fact, they were clearly divided into two factions.
Needless to say, Shen Qian and Yuan Chengdao were seniors. Yuan Chengdao was also Shen Qian's friend.
Qin Hai and Sun Tao had a good personal relationship because of their relationship with Yang Yun.
This was personal. In terms of business, because Yuan Chengdao fired a large number of old employees, the relationship between Sun Tao and him had long become cold.
As for Qin Hai, he didn't get along well with Shen Qian. Although they didn't have any verbal conflicts, they almost didn't communicate with each other.
As for Yuan Chengdao and Qin Hai, although they didn't have any disputes, because of Sun Tao, they still didn't get along.
Of course, this was just what Liu Qi thought. In fact, they were all talking and laughing together. If one didn't look closely and analyze, others wouldn't notice it.
Just as Liu Qi's thoughts were running wild, the meeting room door opened.
Li Dong entered the room and smiled. "Sorry, sorry. I met Director Wu downstairs. He pulled me and didn't let me go. We talked for a few more minutes and wasted everyone's time."
Everyone quickly said that it was fine. Li Dong found his seat and sat down. He smiled. "Alright, let's not talk about small things. Let's start the meeting."
Everyone quieted down. Li Dong coughed lightly. "I have a few things to announce today. Everyone, listen to it or give some suggestions."
Yuan Chengdao asked, "General Manager Li, what's the main topic?"
Only Li Dong would do something like this without any prior notice or explanation of the topic of the meeting.
If it were another company, he would have been scolded by the directors.
Li Dong smiled. "It's just some miscellaneous matters. I was too lazy to make a proposal, so I didn't inform you. Please don't blame me."
Everyone was speechless!
What did he mean by that? Too lazy to make a proposal?
It's not like you don't have a secretary. There are so many people in the directors' office. This excuse is too lame.
But Far Away, since Li Dong said so, they could only listen.
"Ahem, then I'll say it. Let's talk about personnel first."
"Qi Yunna will officially be the General Manager of the Beijing and Tianjin branch. Zhang Mingduo will also be the General Manager of Faraway Supermarket's Jiangbei branch. Does anyone have any objections?"
Yuan Chengdao and the others shook their heads. Sun Tao wanted to say a few words, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.
"Another one is Wang Yue, Director Wang. Director Wang has just opened up the Jiangzhe market and is now in charge of the cooperation with China. He has made a lot of contributions this year. Next, entering Shancheng and Sichuan will probably still be managed by Director Wang. I'm afraid the position of CEO of Faraway Supermarket is not enough. I propose to promote Director Wang to the group's Vice President, in charge of external business. Does anyone have any objections? "
Everyone shook their heads again. Sun Tao said, "I think it's quite good. Director Wang's performance in Jiangzhe is obvious to all. I have no objections."
Yuan Chengdao also smiled and said, "Even if General Manager Li didn't say it, I would have mentioned it. I agree 100% with Director Wang's promotion. When Director Wang comes back, he has to treat everyone to a meal. "
Everyone smiled and nodded. Almost no one had anything to say about Wang Yue's promotion.
She was originally the Vice President of Far Away. Later, Sun Tao, Shen Qian, and the others were all promoted, but Wang Yue was demoted.
This was unfair. Wang Yue also tried her best to make a living. Now that almost a year had passed, she had made a lot of achievements.
At this time, she was promoted to Vice President. Sun Tao and the other old people would definitely not refuse, and neither would Yuan Chengdao.
Outsiders said that he was suppressing the senior members, but Yuan Chengdao actually didn't think so much. His thought was that the capable people would be promoted, and it had little to do with whether the senior members were senior members or not.
Wang Yue was not weak. Besides, after the promotion, she would be in charge of external affairs, which didn't affect him much. There was no need for him to be the bad guy.
Everyone had no objections, so the personnel issue was naturally passed.
After talking about the personnel issue, Li Dong continued, "Then let's talk about the distribution of the downstream industry. I had some feelings about this when I went to Hong Kong last time. Now, all the big supermarkets and big retail companies are building their own brands and controlling their own supply channels.
"Far Away is not doing very well in this aspect. There are too many constraints, and we can't control the cost.
"Like the cooperation with Tengxiang this time, if we have our own channels, the profits will not be so large.
"Of course, this is not something that can be solved overnight. After all, Far Away is developing too fast, and we don't have many resources in this area.
"But now we can make some preparations for the group. Although we are short of funds, we can pull some out from the cracks of our teeth and start with a small scale. There will be a day when we grow bigger.
"Compared to us not asking about it, I think it should be better. In the future, when our own channels are established and the cost is reduced, we will also have the capital to compete."
Hearing him say this, Sun Tao immediately said, "General Manager Li, I also have a deep feeling about this! The reason why we can't compete with Suguo on the Sunan side is that our cost is too high. Whether it is the supply or the price, we can't compare with the other party. We have no advantage in the price competition. Moreover, our profits are not as high as Suguo. If this continues, I am worried that we will be suppressed in the Sunan corner. Now that you have said this, I think we should do it big … "
After Sun Tao finished speaking, the others also expressed their opinions.
However, not all of them agreed. Yuan Chengdao only agreed with a part of it. As for Sun Tao's suggestion to do it big, Yuan Chengdao was very opposed.
Now, the layout of Faraway Supermarket's stores had not been completed. It was too fast to get involved in the downstream industry immediately.
It wasn't that Yuan Chengdao didn't want to do it, but in his opinion, it was best to delay it. It wouldn't be too late to do it next year.
Li Dong didn't care how they argued. It was enough as long as they reached a general consensus.
Next, Li Dong talked about the expansion of the mall, the expansion of logistics, the integration of the real estate company's resources …
After about an hour, Li Dong took a breath and said, "That's about it. Everyone should implement it as soon as possible. Time is money. Speed up the efficiency. President Yuan, our company's efficiency is a bit slow. Now that the assessment is over, you have to find a way to improve the soft power. "
Yuan Chengdao nodded quickly.
But after thinking for a while, Yuan Chengdao said, "General Manager Li, is there anything else to announce?"
Liu Hongmei and the consultant from the legal department had been here for a long time. They couldn't really invite these two to watch the show, right?
Li Dong smiled and said, "There is one last thing to announce."
Everyone perked up. Although Li Dong said a lot of things today, except for Wang Yue's promotion to Vice President, everyone felt that there was no need for a meeting at all.
After Li Dong and Yuan Chengdao discussed it, it could be carried out smoothly.
According to Li Dong's character, he usually wouldn't hold a meeting seriously.
"I had a brief chat with Director Liu and Consultant Chen. I feel that Far Away's equity structure is still too simple, and there are too few shareholders. Some aspects are not conducive to Far Away's development …"
Li Dong talked for a long time, and everyone was getting more and more confused.
In the end, Li Dong changed the topic and said with a smile, "Last year, President Shen Qian personally invested one billion in Far Away. Far Away's market value was not high at that time. I promised privately to transfer 20% of Faraway Group's equity. President Shen didn't mention it, but I can't break my promise … "
"General Manager Li!"
Before Li Dong finished, Shen Qian shouted in shock and quickly shook her head. "Let's talk about this in private, and …"
"No need to talk in private. Since I promised, I will do it."
As soon as Li Dong finished, Yuan Chengdao and Qin Hai also quickly said, "General Manager Li, why didn't we know about this? Financing one billion, this … "
Everyone was shocked to the extreme!
Transfer 20% of the group's equity?
What a joke!
This was not something that Li Dong could do as he pleased. It could affect a series of personnel and financial changes that would follow.
No wonder Li Dong specifically called for a board meeting.
Such a big matter, especially related to a serving director becoming a major shareholder of the company, had to be held at the board meeting.
Especially this one billion, they did not know about it at all.
Sun Tao was shocked for a while and did not continue to worry about the money. Instead, he said with a serious face, "General Manager Li, I don't think President Shen's identity is suitable to be a shareholder of Far Away. We can repay President Shen this money in other ways."
What a joke. Shen Qian was Du Anmin's daughter.
Controlling such a large amount of shares of Far Away, if it was spread out, it would be a big deal.
Li Dong smiled and said, "I know about this, but don't worry. I will arrange it. As long as you don't leak it to the public, it will not be a big problem."
"But …"
Several people wanted to say more, but Li Dong smiled and said, "That's it. I will settle the formalities as soon as possible. Today is to inform everyone and let everyone be mentally prepared."
"I don't agree!"
Seeing that Li Dong was about to make up his mind, Shen Qian frowned and stood up, saying, "I didn't know about this before, and I haven't prepared the shares yet. Wait for me to think it over first."
After saying that, Shen Qian looked at him and said with an ugly expression, "I'm not feeling well. I'll leave first."
After saying that, Shen Qian turned and left.
Li Dong stretched out his hand and thought for a while without saying anything. After she left, Li Dong saw that everyone was in deep thought and said with a smile, "Anyway, it's fine as long as everyone knows about this. The board of directors will make an official document as soon as possible. Consultant Chen, Director Liu, and Liu Qi, the three of you will handle it and settle it as soon as possible.
"Okay, that's all for today. Meeting dismissed."
Li Dong said that the meeting was dismissed, but no one moved.
Li Dong did not care about the others. He stood up and was about to leave.
At this time, Qin Hai could not stand it anymore and hurriedly followed.
