In the backstage lounge of the auditorium.
"President Chen!"
Chen Lang was chatting with a vice principal. When he heard someone calling him, he couldn't help but turn his head.
When he saw the face under the hat, Chen Lang's expression changed again.
At this time, Chen Lang's first thought was: Speak of the devil!
He just finished talking about Li Dong, and he turned around and met him in person. This was too much of a coincidence!
Of course, the word coincidence disappeared in his mind. Soon, Chen Lang realized that this was not a coincidence.
How could there be such a coincidence in the world? Besides, Li Dong was not an idle person. There were many things to do in the Faraway Group. How could he have the time to wander around?
Li Dong came to find him.
Chen Lang quickly thought of this. After figuring this out, Chen Lang smiled and greeted, "General Manager Li, what a coincidence!"
As they spoke, the two of them shook hands.
After shaking hands with Chen Lang, Li Dong smiled and greeted the vice principal next to him, "Principal Wang, hello."
"Hello …"
The vice principal was still a little confused at this time. Li Dong?
Why is Li Dong here?
Who invited him?
Why didn't anyone mention it before?
The opening ceremony was coming to an end, and he didn't see Li Dong appear. Why did he suddenly appear now?
Although he was confused, the vice principal quickly calmed down and said, "General Manager Li, why didn't you inform me in advance that you are coming?"
At this time, how could he not know that Li Dong came by himself in private?
If he was really invited by the school, there was no reason for him, the vice principal, to not know about it.
Li Dong smiled and said, "Principal Wang, I heard that President Chen came over, so I came to visit my senior. Senior Chen has been commanding recently, and he beat me up so badly that I have to run away. I came to find him to complain. "
When this came out, the vice principal's heart skipped a beat.
Chen Lang didn't care. He smiled and said, "General Manager Li, are you being sarcastic? When did I bully you? As for you, the Sunan side is a bit wrong. "
The reason why Chen Lang said Sunan was because he was indeed a little angry.
Originally, he and Ma Jialiang had some differences. When he first bought Su Guo, because he was anxious for quick results, some things were not done properly.
Over the past few years, Su Guo gradually felt that she was too big to handle.
Especially when Ma Jialiang was in office, he was even more headstrong and often prevaricated with Huarun Real Estate.
It was better a few years ago. At least on the surface, Ma Jialiang was still obedient.
But from this year onwards, Ma Jialiang had repeatedly resisted the group's opinions and dealt with them negatively.
In this situation, Chen Lang naturally paid more attention to it. In the end, he discovered that it was Far away who was causing trouble.
Faraway Group secretly tried to rope in Ma Jialiang. In terms of strategy, Faraway adopted the strategy of besieging Huarun Vanguard and holding Su Guo's hand.
Huarun Vanguard was the leader in the retail industry under Huarun Group. After repeated setbacks, its prestige suddenly declined a lot.
As for Su Guo, because of her cooperation with Far away, her performance had increased by a lot.
The master was weak, and the servants were strong. In this situation, it was easy to cause the subordinates to rebel.
Ma Jialiang was originally dissatisfied with Huarun Real Estate's acquisition of Su Guo. Moreover, he was also a veteran retail boss. Chen Lang was younger than him, and he did not show that he was stronger than him in terms of business.
These old people could be said to be stubborn or conservative.
In short, they obeyed the strong and looked down on the weak.
What Chen Lang was best at was not specific business management, but the overall business layout, as well as his vicious vision for mergers and acquisitions.
However, in Ma Jialiang's view, these were somewhat unprofessional. The amateurs commanded the experts, and the differences between the two sides naturally grew.
Because of this, Chen Lang already had a bad headache.
Now that he saw Li Dong, Chen Lang's headache became even more. This guy was young, but he was very sinister.
Seeing that the two people's conversation was a little tense, Principal Wang hurriedly smiled and interrupted, "General Manager Li came at the right time. The principal just said that it was a pity that General Manager Li did not come this year, and the students were a little disappointed. General Manager Li, what do you think about meeting and talking to the new students? "
Hearing this, Li Dong did not argue with Chen Lang anymore. He smiled and said, "Principal Wang, just call me by my name. I'm still a real Jiangzhou University student. As for talking to the juniors, I won't embarrass myself in front of Senior Brother Chen today. Next time, if there's a chance next time, I also want to talk to everyone. "
Principal Wang also expected Li Dong's refusal. If he really came for the opening ceremony, he would not come at this time, let alone go backstage.
Looking at Li Dong's posture, Principal Wang knew that he was looking for Chen Lang.
Principal Wang was not a fool, nor was he an insensible person. Seeing that the two of them had something to say, he smiled and said, "That's a bit of a pity. How about this, you guys talk first, I'll go find the principal. How about having lunch together?"
Hearing this, Chen Lang politely refused, "Principal Wang, there's no need for lunch. I still have something to deal with in the afternoon, let's get together when there's a chance. When the principal and Old Huang arrive, I'll say a few words and leave. "
Li Dong also said, "Principal Wang, there's no need to be so polite with us. We're all family, there's always time for lunch."
Li Dong's "family" immediately made Principal Wang beam with joy. He chuckled and said, "Alright, you guys chat first. I'll go see if the principal and Dean Huang are done. Xiao Fang, take care of Professor Chen and Li Dong, I'll be right back. "
Fang Qingfei, who came out of nowhere, quickly responded. After Principal Wang left, Fang Qingfei said, "Professor Chen, Li Dong, I'll go make a cup of tea for you. If you need anything, just call me."
Seeing that she left, Li Dong and Chen Lang both smiled and sat down.
As soon as they sat down, Li Dong did not go straight to the topic. Instead, he asked in confusion, "When did Mr. Chen become a professor at the university?"
Chen Lang smiled and said, "It's just an honor. Old Huang invited me at the beginning of the year, and I also want to communicate with young people, so I agreed."
"In that case, I'll have to change the way I address you in the future. I can't call you Senior Brother anymore, but Teacher Chen."
"Hahaha …"
Chen Lang immediately burst into laughter. What Li Dong said was not wrong.
Li Dong was still a student of Jiangzhou University, the kind that had not graduated yet, while he was an honorary professor of the university, so it was not wrong for Li Dong to call him Mr. Chen.
After laughing for a while, Chen Lang regained his composure and said, "General Manager Li must have something to say to Jiangzhou University today. Now it's just the two of us, General Manager Li, just say it."
The two of them changed from Senior Brother to Junior Brother to General Manager Li and Mr. Chen. As the way they addressed each other changed, so did their positions.
When it came to relationships, they were brothers.
When it came to business, one of them was the CEO of Faraway Group, and the other was the CEO of Huarun Vanguard.
When he addressed General Manager Li, he was telling Li Dong, "Let's cut to the chase. If you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Seeing that he was so direct, Li Dong did not stand on ceremony anymore. He said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, have you ever thought about changing your working environment?"
As soon as he said that, Chen Lang suddenly came to his senses.
Li Dong wanted to recruit him!
After knowing Li Dong's purpose, Chen Lang could not help but frown. After a while, he said, "Thank you, General Manager Li, for your kindness, but I don't want to do that for now. I've been working in Huarun Vanguard since I graduated in 1986. It's been twenty years since then, and Huarun Vanguard is my other home. Now I have to leave my hometown … "
Chen Lang shook his head as he spoke. Obviously, he refused Li Dong's recruitment.
This was also within Li Dong's expectations. If Chen Lang agreed as soon as he opened his mouth, it would be strange.
Although Li Dong said that Far away was not weaker than Huarun Vanguard, in fact, the gap between the two was obvious.
Whether it was the retail industry or the overall aspect.
In the retail aspect, Huarun Vanguard was not just Huarun Vanguard. It included many products, including Suguo, Snow, Yibao …
This was only in the retail aspect. Huarun Vanguard had a lot of industrial chains. It even had several listed companies. It was involved in energy industries such as electricity and gas, and it was very big.
In comparison, the gap between Faraway Group and Huarun Vanguard was obvious.
According to the current market value, Huarun Vanguard's assets exceeded 200 billion, and this number was still rising. It was even rising much faster than Faraway Group.
Although Chen Lang currently had differences with Ma Jialiang, Ma Jialiang was only an outsider after all.
If there were no accidents, he would be the winner in the end.
Chen Lang was confident that he would be promoted within three years after suppressing Ma Jialiang and reorganizing Hua Rui Wan.
It had been nearly five years since he became the CEO of Huarun Vanguard in 2003. During these five years, Huarun Vanguard had undergone tremendous changes.
Although the Su Guo was too big to be sold, buying the Su Guo was indeed a great achievement that could not be erased.
After thinking about it, Chen Lang felt that there was no need for him to change sides.
He believed that he would have a better future if he continued to work at Huarun Resources. Far away?
Far away, what could he do?
He was clear about the personnel structure of Faraway Group. It was almost Li Dong's word. At this time, he was more restricted in Far away than Huarun Real Estate.
Therefore, it was better to stay. At least he was right about one thing. He had worked in Huarun Resources for 20 years and had made outstanding achievements. Far away was ten times better than starting from scratch.
Far away, it was not as powerful as Huarun China. It was not as influential as Huarun China.
Chen Lang did not think that Li Dong had the conditions to move him.
Li Dong was not in a hurry. He waited for Chen Lang to finish and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, don't be in a hurry to refuse. How about listening to my conditions?"
Chen Lang raised his eyebrows and smiled reluctantly, "Then, General Manager Li, please say it."
"Mr. Chen is now the CEO of Huarun Vanguard. Huarun Vanguard is just a subsidiary of Huarun Ventures. Huarun Ventures is a subsidiary of Huarun Group.
To make an inappropriate analogy, it is like three generations. Huarun Vanguard is just a grandson in the Huarun Group.
I said that you have a bright future. Mr. Chen must think that you will be the final winner in the battle with General Manager Ma.
Even if you win this time, how many years do you think you will be the director of Huarun Ventures? General Manager? Chairman?
Three years? Five years? Or ten years?
Let's take the middle value. Five years. Mr. Chen should be almost 50 years old in five years.
Becoming the chairman of Huarun Ventures at the age of 50 should be considered fast among the central enterprises. Also, he must have great achievements.
At this time, Mr. Chen should be at the top of the second echelon of Huarun Ventures. Above him was the headquarters of Huarun Ventures.
According to the conduct of a central enterprise, it was not easy to go one step higher. Even if Mr. Chen was the director of the headquarters, he wanted to be the general manager, vice chairman, chairman …
How many years would it take?
Ten years?
Even if Mr. Chen had outstanding achievements in ten years, he might not be able to control Huarun Ventures. Because it was a central enterprise, it did not mean that one's contributions and achievements would be able to get the corresponding position.
At that time, Mr. Chen would be almost at the age of retirement.
What did you get when you are old?
What did you get?
… "
Chen Lang was calm at first, but in the end, he could not help but show a sense of loss.
In fact, Li Dong was right about one thing. A central enterprise was a central enterprise.
It did not mean that one's performance was good, and the position would be yours.
Especially for a large state-owned enterprise like Huarun Ventures, the previous chairman was rarely promoted from within the group. Most of them were sent abroad.
However, Chen Lang did not think about this before. His current goal was to start a business in Huarun Ventures.
But after hearing what Li Dong said, even if he knew that this guy was deliberately luring him, Chen Lang could not help but sigh.
As Li Dong spoke, he paid attention to the changes in Chen Lang's expression. Seeing the strange look in Chen Lang's eyes, Li Dong was slightly relieved. I was afraid that you would be indifferent.
In fact, Chen Lang's ability was absolutely first-class, and he was not only in the retail industry.
In his previous life, Chen Lang served as the chairman of Huachuang in 12 years. At that time, he was not even fifty years old.
But at this time, Chen Lang probably did not think that this day would come so soon. Li Dong naturally did not mind exaggerating.
After talking about Huarun Ventures, Li Dong talked about Huarun Ventures Far away.
"As for Faraway Group, it is indeed not comparable to Huarun Ventures now. I do not deny this.
But the background of the two sides is different. When Huarun Ventures was founded, my father was not even born.
If we look at it from the root, Huarun Ventures has a history of nearly 70 years. Far away?
It was established at the end of 2004, and it has been less than three years since then.
In three years, Far away has achieved a total assets of more than 20 billion yuan. The industries involved include retail, logistics, e-commerce, real estate …
And in these three years, what has changed in Huarun Ventures?
It is still developing step by step, and it is still relying on the old foundation. Take Huarun Ventures for example. Compared to three years ago, the scale is indeed a lot bigger, but that is because of the previous foundation.
In addition, after the acquisition of Su Guo, Huarun Ventures is indeed a lot stronger, but in fact, you are not under each other. In these three years, I have created a Faraway Supermarket out of thin air.
Without the support of any external capital, I said that Faraway Supermarket is better than Huarun Ventures in the past three years. Does President Chen think it is bad? "
Chen Lang shook his head and said, "I do not deny this. Far away has indeed developed faster than Huarun Ventures in the past three years. But it is also because of this that Far away has a lot of shortcomings. There is a lack of a complete downstream industry chain, unstable channels, and a weak foundation. Risks and opportunities are equal. You are developing so fast now. Once you encounter a crisis, Huarun Ventures can safely pass through, but Far away will fall apart. Channels, brands, industrial chains, personnel, including capital, Far away has a lot of shortcomings … "
Chen Lang listed the shortcomings of Faraway Group one by one. Li Dong listened carefully and did not interrupt.
