Far Away's announcement had an impact that could not be passed in a short time.
At this moment, the senior managers in China had a deep understanding of what it meant to cherish talent.
Although money was not omnipotent, sometimes it was the biggest standard to measure something.
Far Away had done his best for a professional manager.
Even if he was still very young, everyone had to admit that he was at the helm of such an enterprise.
…
Shenzhen.
Huarun Vanguard headquarters.
At this moment, Chen Lang had yet to finish handing over his work. If one were to say who had the greatest impact on this incident, it would be him and no one else.
There were two things that exceeded his expectations about the resignation.
First, he did not expect Huarun Vanguard headquarters to make an announcement so soon.
He had not finished handing over his work yet. It was too urgent for them to make an announcement at this time. It was as if they could not wait for him to leave.
Second, Far Away's response.
To be honest, he did not expect Far Away to do this. He had even given up on the idea of going to Far Away.
However, that junior of his had shocked the world the moment he made a move.
He did not bargain or discuss with him. Far Away had not even started working yet. Far Away offered to compensate him 30 million yuan. How could an ordinary person do that?
It would be a lie to say that he was not touched.
Chen Lang was reluctant to leave Huarun Vanguard. He felt that he owed him.
However, Chen Lang did not feel that way now.
He had been working for Huarun Vanguard for 20 years. He did not dare to say that he had made great achievements, but the profits he had made for Huarun Vanguard could not be described in just a few words.
He was not the first executive to leave Huarun Vanguard.
As the saying goes, water flows to the bottom. He had been working hard for 20 years, so it was normal for him to change jobs at the age of 40.
Even if Huarun Vanguard filed a non-compete claim after he started working Far Away, he could accept it.
However, Huarun Vanguard threatened him with non-compete before he left Huarun Vanguard. It was too disappointing.
Chen Lang's expression changed for a while in the office.
After a long time, he made a call.
Chen Lang said tiredly, "Mr. Wang, I'm sorry."
There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone. After a while, Wang Ming said, "You don't have to apologize. This time, the company was in such a rush that even I didn't expect it. "
"Far away, do your best. I just hope …"
Mr. Wang really wanted to say that he hoped they wouldn't become rivals in the future, but the possibility was really not high.
As the number one supermarket chain, it was the target that all supermarket chains wanted to surpass.
Far away, Li Dong was full of ambition. How could he not have such thoughts?
Far away, now that Chen Lang had joined the team, there would probably be a huge battle in the future if there was another powerful general Far away.
The market was only so big. Far away, if they wanted to expand, they would naturally have to seize the market of others.
Both parties had made large-scale investments in the Hua Dong region. Now that their strengths were almost the same, the Hua Dong region's retail market would inevitably be chaotic.
The two of them were momentarily speechless. Director Wang was Chen Lang's guide.
He could not become the general manager of the Wan family without the support of CEO Wang.
But at this moment, neither of them knew what to say.
After a while, Chen Lang sighed and said, "Mr. Wang, I hope to complete the handover as soon as possible. Now that the company has announced my resignation, I will only be a laughing stock if I stay. I want to officially leave the company at the end of the month. "
"I will try my best to arrange it. After leaving the company, you …"
"I will go to Jiangbei."
"That's right. Jiangbei Li Dong is indeed … indeed extraordinary. Xiao Chen, although I don't want to say this, I still wish you a bright future."
"Thank you, Director Wang."
"…"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Lang was a little dazed for a moment.
Was he leaving?
Leaving the company where he had worked for 20 years to welcome a new future. At this moment, even if he had made up his mind, he was still a little hesitant.
…
Jinling.
Suguo headquarters.
Ma Jialiang did not show any joy when he heard the news that Chen Lang was about to leave Huarun Resources.
It was true that he had a disagreement with Chen Lang, and everyone knew that he did not get along with Chen Lang.
He even looked down on Chen Lang's acquisition strategy. Many people in the company also knew about this.
But the difference in opinion did not mean that he really looked down on Chen Lang and really thought that Chen Lang was incapable.
Strictly speaking, he was the one who lost to Chen Lang.
Back then, Chen Lang had acquired Suguo from him and made himself part of Huarun Resources.
In the past few years, he had not been able to get along with Chen Lang. He probably had a kind of resentment towards Chen Lang.
But now, Chen Lang was leaving.
It was not scary that he was leaving. What was scary was that his next home was Far Away.
Far Away was his biggest competitor in Sunan.
Previously, both sides had worked together to get rid of foreign companies, small and medium-sized local retail companies, and all outsiders.
But this still could not cover up the fact that both sides were the biggest competitors.
Previously, Sun Tao was more than enough to defend but not enough to expand.
Now, Zhang Mingduo, who had taken over Huadong, was temporarily busy with expansion and did not have the strength to compete with Su Guo.
But this situation would soon change. Once Chen Lang joined Far Away, Ma Jialiang had a feeling that his target was set on Huarun Resources.
Previously, Su Guo and Huarun Resources were one company in name, but in reality, they were fighting separately.
But from this moment on, Su Guo was the biggest representative of Huarun Resources in Huarun.
If Chen Lang started a war, Su Guo would definitely be the first to bear the brunt.
Thinking of this, Ma Jialiang's eyes revealed a hint of fierceness. Since that was the case, then he would make the first move!
While Chen Lang had not left Huarun Resources, he would exhaust Huarun Resources.
"Everyone!"
Ma Jialiang glanced at the executives in front of him and said slowly, "From today onwards, our opponent is Far Away!"
"Vice-president Zhang!"
"Chairman, please speak."
"Immediately arrange for someone to conduct market research. The main target is Far Away Time's prices, product types, and store distribution … Ever since we expelled foreign companies, we have not made a move for a long time. Previously, because of some misgivings, we allowed Huarun to expand. Now that we have a tiger in our bosom, if we do not make a move, we will lose our nest. Everyone says that I am a wolf, then this time, Far Away will try our wolf pack tactics! "
Although Ma Jialiang's tone was calm, the others' hearts tightened. It seemed that this time, they were really going to make a big move.
"Old Liu, after Vice-president Zhang finishes the market research, you immediately formulate an attack plan. This time, let's see whether our pack of wolves is stronger, or this tiger cub is stronger."
"Chairman, are we mainly targeting the Sunan region or the entire East China region?" Vice-president Liu quickly asked.
Ma Jialiang did not hesitate and said, "First, focus on the Sunan region and break through their line of defense. Far Away, which has not been established for long, is likely to be defeated on all fronts. Moreover, if we make a move here, can companies like Bailian, RT-Mart, and Wumart hold back? As long as they see an opportunity, these people can't wait to kick out Li Dong, the disruptor. We are all doing regional operations, but he is ambitious and wants to be the national hegemon. It has only been established for three years, and he wants to run before he has learned how to walk. He is too ambitious and provokes bloody battles everywhere. The market does not need such a disruptor, do you understand? "
Everyone hurriedly nodded.
Ma Jialiang was not wrong on this point. At present, there was really no national retail hegemon in the country.
Everyone implemented the model of "national development, regional leadership, multi-format coordination." For example, Suguo's main business was in Sunan, Wumart's main business was in Beijing, Agriculture, Industry and Commerce's main business was in Shanghai, and New First Beauty's main business was in Guangdong Province …
Be strong in the region, and then start to expand nationwide. This was the common development of major companies.
Far away, although Jiangbei was doing well, because of the short period of time, the foundation was not strong, and the foundation was not that solid.
Wanting to compete for the national market at this time was too ambitious, and this was one of the reasons why many people were not optimistic about it.
…
Far away's announcement was released, and all parties began to react.
Although Faraway Supermarket had set up the framework previously, because the business was not coordinated, the resources could not be integrated, and the competitiveness was not strong.
At this time, Far away looked strong, but in fact, the core competitiveness was still not strong enough.
However, once Chen Lang joined them, the effect would definitely be different.
A professional manager did not seem to have much effect.
But Chen Lang had been in charge of Huarun Vanguard for five years. Whether it was his tactics, experience, or the big picture, he was top-notch.
At this time, he and Li Dong worked together, and the effect was definitely better than the two of them fighting alone.
As long as there was sufficient financial support, with the ability of both parties, they would be able to quickly stabilize the situation, gain a foothold, and unite the Faraway Supermarket.
In this situation, how could everyone be indifferent?
When the major retail groups made a move, Li Dong was the first to know.
Especially on Su Guo's side, Li Dong knew the other party's strategy and goal as soon as possible.
Far away had not been in vain for the past few years. Not to mention Far away's own channels, there was also Suning in Jinling.
Although the retail of home appliances and department stores had competition, the competition was not too big. At this time, Zhang Jindong was also willing to provide some information and help to Li Dong.
As soon as they received the news, Far away quickly responded.
These days, the competitiveness of supermarkets mainly relied on a few aspects: source channels, logistics system, management system …
These were the main factors in controlling costs. As long as the costs were controlled, the next thing everyone competed for was service and brand.
Far away believed that service and brand were not worse than Su Guo.
However, other channels, Far away was slightly weaker.
If they wanted to win the battle with Su Guo, the cost must be controlled. Otherwise, Far away was likely to be dragged down, and outsiders would see their weakness.
…
On September 9th, Li Dong made an appointment with Tengxiang Group's CEO, Sun Yuee.
Far away's largest supplier in terms of source channels was Tengxiang Group.
However, because the stores in Beijing and Tianjin had not yet been opened, the two parties had only reached an agreement and had not officially entered into cooperation.
Originally, Li Dong did not want to hand over the supply channels in other places to Tengxiang. After all, there would be too much trouble in the future. Tengxiang controlled Far away's lifeline.
However, at this time, Li Dong had to choose to compromise.
At least for now, he and Tengxiang Group still had common interests, and the two sides should not have differences in a short period of time.
When their own channels were established, he would not be controlled by others.
All of this needed time, and time was Li Dong's biggest enemy.
Li Dong and Sun Yuee talked for the whole morning, and finally, the two sides reached an agreement. Tengxiang became Faraway Group's largest supplier in Hua Dong.
The amount involved in this agreement was close to ten billion.
Tengxiang Group gave a great concession, which suddenly reduced the cost of Faraway Supermarket by several points.
Although the cost had dropped, Li Dong could not bring himself to be happy.
All the channels in Hua Dong and North China were controlled by Tengxiang. It seemed that he had taken advantage, but in fact, Faraway Supermarket was pushed to the crater.
Once something happened to Tengxiang Group, Far away would lose its largest channel, and the consequences could not be explained in a few words.
…
With the agreement reached with Tengxiang, Li Dong made another move and cut Far away's logistics system.
Back when Distance Group was established, Distance Logistics had taken control of the mall's logistics system and the supermarket's logistics system.
This was indeed easy to manage, but it also caused a lot of trouble.
The mall was fine, but there was an additional transfer procedure for the supermarket.
The distribution center was controlled by the logistics company, and the supermarket completely lost its autonomy. In addition, the supermarket's operating costs also increased a lot.
Although they were all enterprises of the same group, the profit of the logistics company did not mean that the supermarket would also be profitable.
This was also something Li Dong did not consider at the beginning. Now, in order to suppress the supermarket's costs, Li Dong had to adjust again and put the distribution center, which originally belonged to Faraway Supermarket, under the management of the supermarket.
Far away's actions continued, and the atmosphere in the retail industry suddenly became tense.
Everyone understood that a war was about to break out.
Especially the Sunan side, it was likely to become the main battlefield.
Once Far away showed signs of weakness, the retail giants would definitely attack and completely divide the Far away retail market.
Vice versa, once Su Guo retreated, Far away would be defeated, and the consequences would be even more serious.
Dividing Far away would not be as beneficial as dividing Huarun Group.
The first in the industry would not only bear the reputation and benefits, but also the risk.
In this case, even the headquarters of Huarun Group could not remain indifferent. Even Chen Lang, who was in the middle of the handover, was kicked out in advance.
When Far away and Su Guo were about to fight, Huarun Group still kept Chen Lang. It was no different from courting death.
…
September 15th.
Chen Lang rushed back to Jiangbei. At this time, he could not care too much.
The war between Far away and Huarun Group was about to break out. Since he decided to stay in Far away, how could he not care about it?
Although he did not know the foundation of Far away, Chen Lang was aware that Far away was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
If it was not so, why would Li Dong act like he was facing a formidable enemy?
In the past few times when Li Dong provoked the major retail giants, he did not show any signs of weakness. This time, although Li Dong was still the same, people could still notice something different.
The most obvious point was that Tengxiang had taken over the supply channels in the East China region.
For retail companies, supply channels were the most important. Li Dong handed over the East China and North China channels. It was not in line with his character.
