Chen Lang said a lot. At this time, he did not mind analyzing the gap between the two sides with Li Dong.
Everyone could see these things. It was not a secret.
In the end, Chen Lang smiled and said, "In addition, General Manager Li said that I have shackles in Huarun Real Estate. Is there no shackles Far away?"
"In comparison, I feel that Huarun Real Estate is more fair.
Far away, the board of directors is useless. It is completely General Manager Li's words.
If I really go Far away and have a disagreement with General Manager Li, who will I listen to?
I don't need to try to know this. General Manager Li, don't you think so?
Since I'm going to be an executor, why should I give up what's near and seek what's far away? Why should I choose what's far away?
Well, even if General Manager Li promised me more autonomy, I still want to ask. Far away, how many years does General Manager Li think I can get to where I am now? "
Now that he was the CEO of Huarun Real Estate, he might be able to control the entire retail industry soon.
Far away?
Far away, unless he was the CEO of the group, Chen Lang did not think that there was any position that could match his current position.
But was there such a possibility?
Li Dong did not care if Chen Lang asked casually or deliberately. He was afraid that Chen Lang would not ask. After Chen Lang finished speaking, Li Dong said, "What about the group's COO?"
Chen Lang raised his eyebrows. Li Dong was indeed sincere.
Now, in the Faraway Group, the first in the organizational structure was naturally Li Dong.
The second was the CEO, Yuan Chengdao.
Next were Sun Tao, Wang Yue, and the others.
Far away did not have the position of COO. To make an analogy, the CEO was the mayor. He was only responsible for the corporate culture and the overall direction of the company.
The COO was the executive deputy mayor. Apart from Li Dong, he was the second-in-command of the group.
This position could be said to be the peak.
However, after thinking about it, Chen Lang still shook his head and said, "I'm indebted to General Manager Li's kindness. This condition is indeed somewhat unexpected. But to be honest, I don't care about the position. Even if I'm the group's COO, I don't think I can interfere with the direction of the group. The CEOs of these companies, such as Distance Shopping Center and Dongyu Real Estate, are all directors of Distance Shopping Center. I've also interacted with CEO Sun a few times. At the end of the day, I really can't think of any role a COO can play. "
"That's true."
Li Dong smiled and did not deny this question.
After a moment of silence, Li Dong continued, "Let's not talk about this for now. We'll talk about this later. Since I'm looking for CEO Chen, I definitely won't waste your talent. Speaking of opportunities, which one do you think is better, Far away or Huarun Resources? Every day, I do things that aren't challenging and move forward step by step … "
"Ahem …"
Chen Lang laughed and said, "General Manager Li, I'm not a greenhorn anymore. These ideals, challenges, and hot-bloodedness have passed that stage for me."
At this time, Li Dong also had some headaches. This guy was quite difficult to deal with.
Obviously, it was useless to just talk about empty talk.
Chen Lang was obviously a realist who valued practicality more. No matter how much vision Li Dong talked about, it would be difficult to move him.
Gritting his teeth, Li Dong was originally not in a hurry to talk about the salary. After all, he felt that it was a bit vulgar to talk about this since he had just arrived.
But sometimes, vulgar things could move people. At this point, he had no choice but to talk about it.
Li Dong exhaled and said in a deep voice, "Pardon me for asking, CEO Chen. How much income do you get from Huarun Resources every year, including annual salary and dividends?"
Chen Lang glanced at him and understood what he meant. After thinking for a moment, he said, "About 2 million."
As a state-owned enterprise, this treatment couldn't be more generous in 2007.
This was also because Chen Lang had done a good job, and the annual benefits and dividends were higher. Otherwise, his fixed salary might not even be as much as a Director Far away.
"2 million. It's higher than what I imagined. It seems that CEO Chen has done a good job, and this has moved my determination to poach CEO Chen. I won't beat around the bush. If CEO Chen is willing to come to Far away, I'll give you a fixed salary of 5 million, plus performance bonuses! My requirements aren't high, and the performance evaluation standards aren't high either. I believe that CEO Chen can definitely complete it. As long as you can meet the performance requirements, I don't think it's difficult for you to get an annual salary of 10 million. "
"10 million!"
Chen Lang couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart. To be honest, how many people in this world didn't love money?
Regardless of entrepreneurs or people in the industry, it was a bit far-fetched to talk about ideals. Benefits were the common pursuit.
If your enterprise was losing money every year, would you still continue to do it?
If your enterprise didn't pay you every month, would you still be willing to work hard for your ideals?
Ideals were just an accessory. What really moved people was the issue of benefits.
An annual salary of 10 million. At this time, let alone Chen Lang, even the chairman of Huarun Real Estate didn't have such a high income.
Huarun Real Estate was a central enterprise. No matter how good your performance was, it didn't mean that you had the ability. It was because you had the support of the country.
In addition, the higher-ups could be considered as people in the system, and it was impossible to give such a high salary. Unless you went through the gray channel, the income might not be low.
Li Dong offered an annual salary of 10 million. One year was equivalent to five years of his salary, which was five times more. This kind of courage wasn't something an ordinary person could do.
But …
Although Chen Lang didn't show any expression on his face, he was struggling in his heart.
Seeing this, Li Dong increased the bargaining chip again. "To us, money is sometimes just a number. Money is just an accessory. Let me say one more thing. Within three years, Far away's system will definitely be reformed.
In the future, Far away's retail and internet industries will be independent. It won't be under the control of the headquarters like it is now.
This is my personal opinion. Maybe it won't take that long.
If Mr. Chen is willing to join Far away, I can promise that Faraway Supermarket, Times, Kelong, and the downstream industries we are building will become a single entity.
At that time, Mr. Chen can become the chairman of the subsidiary group and join the headquarters' board of directors. The retail group will be handed over to Mr. Chen!
Unless there is an emergency, the headquarters will not interfere with the retail group's affairs … "
Li Dong's words suddenly caused a storm!
This was Li Dong's plan?
How ambitious was this guy?!
Setting up a group business group was not something that could be casually said. It was not something that could be done with a good reputation.
Without a certain level of strength and a complete related industry chain, doing this was just asking to be humiliated.
Since Li Dong said this, he naturally had this plan and goal.
Separating the retail and internet industries to form a separate group was almost impossible for a group with less than 100 billion.
The other meaning of Li Dong was obvious. The current Far away was far from his ultimate goal. 100 billion was just the beginning.
If he joined Far away, he would take over the entire subsidiary group in the future. It was almost equivalent to the current chairman of Huarun Venture under Huarun.
Chen Lang began to struggle in his heart. Power and money, Li Dong had given them all. Should he consider changing sides?
Li Dong did not stop talking. He said unhurriedly, "If these are not enough to move Mr. Chen, how about becoming a shareholder of Far away? A genuine shareholder. Of course, now is not the time.
In Huarun Venture, you probably won't have this opportunity until the day you retire.
As for the difference between private enterprises and central enterprises, Mr. Chen should understand it better than me.
Outsiders say that I, Li Dong, am independent. If Mr. Chen also thinks so, then pretend that I did not say this.
I alone am enough to set up a 10 billion group. But to set up a 100 billion group or a trillion group, it is not something that I can do alone.
I need a group of comrades, a group of comrades who can fight to the end.
Now Mr. Chen is only in his early forties. I think it will not be a problem to fight for 20 years.
Why can I keep Mr. Chen for 20 years?
As long as Mr. Chen can bring value to me and Far away, what I said today will definitely become a reality. "
Chen Lang's mouth was dry. 100 billion, trillion …
This junior of his was really ambitious. It was so ambitious that Chen Lang felt ashamed of his inferiority.
However, Chen Lang still raised a point. "General Manager Li, what is the basis for these words?"
"Based on the fact that I am Li Dong!"
Li Dong did not seem to be joking at all. He said sternly, "Based on the fact that I started from scratch in three years and set up Far away on a scale of 10 billion!
Based on the fact that I have never made a mistake until now!
If this is not enough, how about adding Mr. Chen?
Other than Mr. Chen, Far away has a group of like-minded comrades. We are still young. Far away is also young. Everything is possible in the future.
Although it is a little empty to talk about ideals, we must have ideals.
If we can't do it in three years, then we will do it in ten years. If we can't do it in ten years, then we will do it in twenty years … "
Chen Lang swallowed his saliva and struggled fiercely in his heart.
After a long time, Chen Lang said with a dry mouth, "Then let me say, what if, what if the first thing I do when I enter Far Away is not in line with General Manager Li's philosophy?"
"That depends on what it is."
"I know that Faraway Supermarket has always been taking the civilian route, but my ideal is to be a boutique supermarket. From the day I was transferred to the General Manager of the Wan family, I have been preparing for this.
In the past few years, I have established Ole, but this road is not easy to walk. There are already people in the group who have objections.
But I feel that this road must be taken. In the next ten or even twenty years, the core competitiveness of the company will be the boutique supermarket.
And General Manager Li, I know your goal. You want to be the second Aldi. This is also the path that most domestic retail companies are taking.
But everyone is doing it, it does not necessarily mean that it is right. Now that the e-commerce market is expanding, in my opinion, the low-end market and the civilian market will be impacted by the e-commerce market one day.
Only high-end and the best user experience could withstand this kind of impact.
Whether it is Taobao or Far Away Mall, I have used them all and paid attention to your business model and consumer trends. It is mainly low-end, and it is difficult for this online model to bring this kind of experience.
And with the development of the domestic and international economy, I do not think the main factor in the future consumption trend is price.
Of course, I am not sure how long this time will be, but I still want to try.
And all this is contrary to General Manager Li's philosophy … "
At this time, Chen Lang did not notice that Li Dong's eyes were shining as he looked at him.
Sure enough, he did not choose the wrong person!
Indeed, the boutique supermarket was a great way to withstand the impact of e-commerce. At this time, the concept of boutique supermarket was not popular in China.
Huarun's Ole and the future Blt and V + were leading boutique supermarkets in China. Because Huarun was the first to step into this field, later on, major domestic retail groups began to enter.
Yonghui's Bravo Y., RT-Mart's RHLavia, Hualian's BHG …
Why did these retail companies flock to boutique?
Boutique supermarkets actually did not have high profits, and it was difficult to manage. Logically speaking, it was not worth the investment.
But sometimes, people did not look at profits.
To achieve the leading position in the country, people looked more at the future development space.
Under the impact of e-commerce, the civilian retail industry continued to be impacted. The e-commerce system, which eliminated many procedures, was not worse than physical stores in terms of price and products. The price advantage was even greater.
Coupled with the convenience and speed, traditional industries suffered heavy losses.
It was also because of this that traditional companies began to transform. At this moment, Huarun Vanguard was actually on the path of transformation.
At this time, before the impact of e-commerce, Chen Lang actually thought of this. Needless to say, this guy was indeed quite capable.
In the next ten years, this extreme customer experience model might not be very popular. After all, it did not have an advantage in terms of price.
However, this type of boutique was not aimed at ordinary customers.
As the young people gradually grew up, and as the economy became richer, this model would gradually show its advantages.
As Li Dong thought about it, he was a little distracted.
Chen Lang, who was next to him, was a little disappointed, and his voice gradually lowered.
This was also one of the reasons why he did not consider Far Away. At least in Huarun Vanguard, there were people who supported him. Even if it was only a small number of people, it was enough.
Huarun Vanguard was not a one-man show. As long as people supported him, he could continue to do business.
Even if the scale was small, it was fine. He could just take it slow. The first few years were all explorations, and this kind of exploration required capital support.
Far Away was a private enterprise, and it was right to maximize profits. Li Dong hoped to become the second Aldi, this was also right.
However, this way, the two sides had differences.
If there were differences before they even started working, it would be difficult to cooperate in the future. At this time, the temptation of tens of millions of annual salary also gradually dissipated.
When Chen Lang's voice completely disappeared, Li Dong woke up. Seeing that Chen Lang's expression returned to normal, Li Dong knew what he was thinking.
With a smile, Li Dong said, "If I support you to continue, will you be willing to come Far Away?"
"You support?"
Chen Lang was a little doubtful, but Li Dong did not care. He nodded and said, "Actually, you and I have similar thoughts on this. However, you also know that Far Away has only just started. We have not even completed the layout for the civilian market, let alone the premium market.
According to my original plan, I will consider this problem at least ten years later.
However, since you mentioned this, I can give you a promise. If you are willing to do it, Far Away will support you.
The initial investment may not be large. After all, we are not rich enough, but this project will continue.
When we have the capital and confidence, we can become bigger and stronger. This is not a big picture, I am very serious.
If you are willing to believe me, how about you try it yourself? "
At this time, the balance in Chen Lang's heart finally swayed. Did Li Dong think so too?
Was he really willing to support him?
He had money and power. If he could even realize his dreams, it sounded quite good.
Moreover, Li Dong was full of sincerity. He personally invited him. Even if he refused again and again, Li Dong did not give up. Instead, he increased the price again and again. This kind of treatment was indeed not something ordinary people could bear.
Chen Lang was silent for a long time. After a long time, he sighed and said, "General Manager Li, I have to say that I am a little tempted. However, it is difficult for me to make a decision so quickly. Far Away from Huarun Resources will not only affect me. My superiors, subordinates, friends, and family. I need to consider all these. General Manager Li, can you give me some time? "
With a smile on his face, Li Dong nodded and said, "Of course. Senior Brother, you can go back and think about it. You can also discuss it with your family. If Senior Brother really comes Far Away, it will be a good story. Far Away rose in Jiangbei. Senior Brother, you are also from Jiangbei. Moreover, we are alumni of the same university and the same major. You are in charge of Huarun Resources, and I am in charge of Far Away. Now that we are working together, I believe that we will be invincible in the industry! "
Chen Lang glanced at him and couldn't help but smile. He jokingly said, "According to what you said, isn't it better to bring Tian Wanbao here from Far Away?"
Li Dong was happy when he heard this. Speaking of which, it was true.
Tian Wanbao was the former CEO of New First Excellence. For New First Excellence to be able to reach this point, it was not unrelated to Tian Wanbao.
Unfortunately, New First Excellence was even more opaque than Far Away. Tian Wanbao, who had made great contributions, was kicked out of New First Excellence last year. This was probably the beginning of New First Excellence's decline.
Among the major supermarket chains in the department store industry, three of them were actually from Jiangbei. Speaking of which, it was quite a coincidence.
However, in terms of strength, there was still a gap between Tian Wanbao and Chen Lang. Tian Wanbao's path was similar to Li Dong's, but in terms of the overall situation, he was still not as good as Chen Lang.
What Li Dong wanted now was to find someone who could manage Faraway Supermarket alone, and he didn't have to worry about it. Of course, it was better to find Chen Lang than Tian Wanbao.
These thoughts flashed in his mind. Li Dong also smiled and said, "Who knows, there might be a chance in the future. Of course, the premise is that Senior Brother is willing to come and help."
Chen Lang laughed. After a while, he said seriously, "Whether or not I come, I will give you an answer as soon as possible. If I come, then our next target will be Huarun Resources! If I don't come … "
Chen Lang paused for a while before saying seriously, "Then my next target is you!"
Today, after a simple conversation, Chen Lang felt the pressure from Li Dong.
This was a guy with ambition, ability, and courage.
With him around, the supermarket chain market in the future would definitely not be quiet. This kind of person was also very dangerous, because they generally did not follow the market rules.
Being targeted by Li Dong, it was very likely that they would hurt others and themselves. Even if they killed Li Dong in the end, Huarun Resources was very likely to fall out of the first echelon.
And now, this guy had clearly set his target on Huarun Resources.
When Li Dong heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I can only hope that Senior Brother can come. Otherwise, I'm afraid that Senior Brother won't be able to handle it."
"Hahaha …"
Chen Lang laughed again. Sometimes, it was really interesting to chat with Li Dong.
