On November 18th, Far Away and Huarun Group reached an agreement.
The two sides held a joint press conference in Sunan.
Naturally, the press conference would not say that Huarun Group admitted defeat. Both sides said that they had reached a strategic alliance.
As for how the alliance was going to be, different people had different opinions.
Anyway, from the public news, it was Su Guo who admitted defeat, and they did not see what Far Away had done.
In the announcement, Su Guo transferred the hundred stores outside the Jinling area, and the Ma Qun Distribution Center.
With these two points, it could be seen that Su Guo had almost given up on the Sunan market.
But these were not the focus of everyone's attention. After all, everyone could guess the result when Su Guo closed the first store.
The real point was that the two sides also reached an agreement. Next, the two sides would continue to cooperate in the Hua Dong region.
Just like the cooperation between Far Away and Su Guo, they cleared the other supermarket chains in the Sunan area.
This time, it was Far Away and Huarun Group. The two sides reached an agreement that the two sides would form a strategic alliance in the Hua Dong region.
Far Away and Huarun Group were not weak in the Hua Dong region.
Especially after Far Away took over the Sunan market, they occupied about 70% of the Sunan market. In addition, they were entrenched in Jiangbei. Their strength even faintly surpassed that of Huarun Group.
And Huarun Group had invested a lot in Hua Dong over the years.
Coupled with the integration of Su Guo's forces in other cities, the strength of Huarun Group was not damaged. Instead, it soared.
Both were retail giants in the Hua Dong region. Now that they had joined forces, everyone suddenly understood that the other companies were in trouble.
Previously, Bailian, Wal-Mart, Lotte, Carrefour, Wumart …
These retail groups had entered Hua Dong, wanting to take advantage of the war between the two to expand their business.
Who would have thought that the war would end so quickly? Before they could gain a foothold, the war between the two was over.
More importantly, the two sides reached an agreement to get rid of the others first.
Just like in the Sunan, they would get rid of the others, and then the two would fight for the victory. Or they could simply share the entire retail market.
Hua Dong was so big, and one company might not be able to take it all.
Once the news came out, the Hundred Alliance and the others all sighed to the heavens. What a pity!
In everyone's opinion, the Battle of the Sunan would last at least until next year. Far away, it suddenly broke out and defeated Su Guo in a short period of time, which suddenly put them in a dilemma.
Originally, everyone was looking forward to the two clans continuing to fight in other areas.
However, Huarun Resources and Far away were not stupid. They chose to join hands immediately after the fight.
If the two joined forces, they would be invincible in the Hua Dong region. If the newcomers didn't want to suffer heavy losses, it would be best for them to obediently withdraw.
…
On November 19th, Chen Lang rushed back to Jiangbei.
Other than Chen Lang, the others like Sun Tao and Zhang Mingduo had also rushed back.
When they met downstairs, everyone greeted each other with smiles on their faces.
Far away, after defeating Su Guo, not only did his reputation soar, but his strength had also increased by a large margin.
In addition to the Su Guo store and Ma Qun distribution center, they also expanded a lot of supply channels.
These supply channels were also one of the reasons why Far away won this time. They were all provided by the supply and marketing cooperative for Far away. Qin Hanyuan contributed a lot.
If it wasn't for cutting off 30% of Su Guo's supply channels, making it impossible for Su Guo to continue in a short period of time, Far away wouldn't have won so easily.
Moreover, the expansion of the supply channels also made Li Dong slightly relieved.
Previously, their largest supply channel was Tengxiang Group. Li Dong didn't want to have a monopoly.
Now that they had taken over part of the supply and marketing cooperative's supply channels, although Far away had signed an agreement with Tengxiang, it was only for Sunan, Jiangbei, and Jingjin. They didn't sign contracts for other places.
With other channels, Far away's degree of restriction was also reduced.
As everyone was chatting, Zhang Mingduo asked Sun Tao, "Director Sun, is the chairman mainly talking about Sunan in today's meeting?"
Sun Tao shook his head and said, "There are other things, but it has nothing to do with us. It's mainly about the mall."
Hearing Sun Tao say this, everyone didn't continue asking.
The mall had nothing to do with them. Most of the people present were from the supermarket system.
As they spoke, they arrived at the conference room.
As expected, not only were the people from the mall here, but the people from the real estate and logistics departments were also here.
Unlike before, Faraway Group's rapid development had increased the number of senior executives.
Especially after the 200 million cash payment and Chen Lang's 30 million compensation incident, it had attracted a group of elites to join Far away.
There were more than 150 people above the manager level of the four subsidiaries, including the director of the headquarters.
Other than those who were on business, almost everyone was here today.
The huge conference room was packed, but it was also clearly divided.
The four subsidiaries sat together, and the headquarters sat together. At a glance, it could be seen that they were divided into five squares.
When Chen Lang and the others saw this, they also walked to their positions. Compared to the people from the subsidiary companies, they, as the executives, were not so clear.
Like Chen Lang, other than the supermarket side, he could also intervene in the logistics side.
Sun Tao was about the same. There were also Shen Qian, Qin Hai, and the others. They were all directors of the company, and logically speaking, they could manage the group's affairs.
Everyone sat down and chatted for a while. Soon, Li Dong entered the conference room accompanied by Liu Qi and Chen Ke.
"Hello, chairman!"
The greetings were very loud. Li Dong couldn't help but look down. When he saw the dense crowd, Li Dong was speechless.
To be honest, he didn't expect the company to have so many managers and above.
In the previous meeting, he said that managers and above should participate, and Chen Ke was a little troubled. At that time, Li Dong didn't think much about it. Now, it seemed that he was negligent.
If he knew this earlier, he wouldn't have let so many people attend the meeting. It would be troublesome if there were too many people.
But since they were here, Li Dong didn't have the intention to chase them away. After everyone finished greeting, Li Dong pressed his hand and said, "Sit down and talk."
"Although I don't meet some people often, since they can sit here, they are the mainstays of the group."
"This time, everyone knows about the Sunan incident. Faraway Supermarket defeated Su Guo, and the supermarket side will definitely achieve explosive growth. This time, Chen Lang, President Chen, Sun Tao, President Sun, Zhang Mingduo, Mr. Zhang … These people have contributed a lot to the Sunan victory. Everyone, give us a round of applause to thank these bosses for their contributions to the development of the group! "
"Clap clap clap!"
The applause was very warm. Sun Tao and the others quickly got up and bowed to express their gratitude.
Li Dong only briefly mentioned the Sunan incident. If it was only about the Sunan incident, he wouldn't have called so many people for the meeting.
After talking about the Sunan situation, Li Dong coughed lightly and said, "Next, I will mainly talk about the company's structure. As the group gets bigger and bigger, there are more and more employees. The existing organizational structure can no longer meet our development needs. I discussed with President Yuan and the board of directors and made the following adjustments …"
With Li Dong's unhurried words, everyone listened carefully.
Even the board of directors listened carefully. Although they knew the news in advance, everyone wanted to prevent Li Dong from making some changes in private.
It was not as if such a thing had never happened before. Sometimes, Li Dong would change his mind on a whim.
In general, the supermarket part didn't change too much.
However, there were still some changes. First, Faraway Supermarket set up a board of directors.
The chairman was Sun Tao, and Chen Lang was the vice-chairman. Others such as Zhang Mingduo, Chen Heming, and Qi Yunna all joined the board of directors.
These people were the presidents of various regions, but there was one exception.
Wang Yue didn't serve on the supermarket board of directors. She was still the vice president of the group and the regional president.
This was a little interesting. Those who could enter the meeting were not fools.
Wang Yue was now in charge of the development of the southwest region. Her main business was the supermarket. Of course, it also included the logistics industry.
Since she didn't enter the supermarket board of directors and still held the position of the vice president of the group, it meant that the next step was likely to be transferred back to the headquarters and officially assume the position of vice president.
However, the southwest region had not yet stabilized. No one knew when Wang Yue would be transferred back, so no one thought too much about it.
The real big change was in the mall.
In the mall, Li Dong completely separated the business.
At this time, Li Dong didn't set up any subsidiaries or branches. He used the business group system used by the major Internet groups in the future.
He divided Far Away Mall into seven major business groups: interactive entertainment business group, social network business group, online media business group, technical engineering business group, e-commerce business group, mobile internet business group, and financial development business group.
Among them, Weibo was divided into online media, PP was divided into social network business group, Wantoon was divided into financial business group, and the mall was naturally the e-commerce business group.
The others like the games section and music section were divided into the interactive entertainment business group. The distribution platform developed by Wang Junyu was divided into the mobile internet business group.
The data center that was being built, the laboratory that was currently owned, and the small data center that was previously built were all divided into the technical engineering group.
This time, everyone was dumbfounded.
Seven major business groups. How many positions would be empty?
This was not the main point. Everyone felt that there were too many business groups. For example, Wantoon and the distribution platform. Everyone felt that they could be merged into other departments.
Now that they were divided into so many pieces, it sounded quite domineering, but in fact, there was nothing.
After announcing the division of business, Li Dong announced again, "From today onwards, Shen Qian will be the chairman of Far Away Network Co., Ltd. Liu Hong will be the vice-chairman. In addition, Shen Qian will be the president of the e-commerce business group, and Liu Hong will be the president of the online media business group. Zhao Ting will be the president of the social media business group … "
Zhao Ting, who was in the audience, was instantly excited.
Speaking of Zhao Ting, he was actually an experienced employee. He came with Liu Hong Far Away previously.
Back then, there were two PhD students in Liu Hong's team. Other than Liu Hong, the other was Zhao Ting.
However, as Liu Hong rose higher and higher, he was more of a homebody than Liu Hong. He was not very active, so he was not well-known in the mall system.
"Cao Jinsheng will be the president of the financial development business group!"
A middle-aged man sitting next to Zhao Ting was also happy. Cao Jinsheng was a senior executive that was poached from the banking system Far Away. He was previously in charge of the Wantoon business.
Previously, the Far Away Mall system was chaotic, and the Wantoon business was merged into Far Away Mall. As the person in charge of the Wantoon business, his actual position was not even as high as the manager of the subsidiary.
This time, he was able to become the president of the business group in one fell swoop.
"Wang Junyu will be the president of the mobile internet business group!"
"Boom!"
The audience was suddenly in chaos. Wang Junyu?
That young brat who just graduated!
Although Wang Junyu led the development of the distribution platform, everyone did not take it seriously. They did not expect this guy to rise to the top in one step.
Previously, Zhao Ting and Cao Jinsheng were still acceptable. They were both veterans of Far Away Mall.
Moreover, before Cao Jinsheng came to Far Away, he was a senior executive in the banking system. Zhao Ting was also a PhD graduate and could be considered as an entrepreneur in the mall.
What was Wang Junyu?
Although this mobile business group did not have anything else and only had a distribution platform business, it was still on the same level as other businesses.
It was on the same level as Far Away Mall and PP. Wang Junyu actually became the president. This was too unreliable.
Wang Junyu, who was sitting in the last row of the mall system, had his mouth wide open. He could attend the meeting because Li Dong and Shen Qian both valued him.
Otherwise, he would not even be qualified to attend the meeting. Who would have thought that when the meeting started today, he would rise to the top in one step?
According to Li Dong's division, other than the chairman, Shen Qian, and the vice-chairman, Liu Hong, the rest of the seven major business groups' presidents were on the same level. He went from a small soldier to a senior executive in the internet system.
Thinking about it, he had been in Far Away Mall for less than a year. It should be around 10 months. This was too fast.
Even Wang Junyu felt that it was fast, let alone the others.
Li Dong ignored them and continued to announce, "Bai Feng will be the president of the interactive entertainment business group, and Zhang He will be the president of the technical engineering business group."
Liu Hong and Shen Qian each took charge of one of the seven major business groups.
Shen Qian was in charge of the mall, and Liu Hong was in charge of Weibo.
Speaking of Weibo, Liu Hong was the one who created it. He was familiar with this business, and Li Dong made the best use of him by handing it over to him.
Currently, the largest mall was personally managed by Shen Qian.
When she resigned, it would be handed over to the next chairman. In Li Dong's eyes, the next most suitable chairman would naturally be Shao Yibo.
This way, everyone would be able to play their role.
This would prevent these people from not knowing what they should do and miss a good opportunity.
Of course, it was not enough to just define the organizational structure. The next development opportunity and future development direction had to be determined.
With a goal, everyone naturally knew what they should do.
After dividing the mall, Li Dong made some slight adjustments to the logistics system and real estate.
After resolving the organizational structure, Li Dong coughed lightly and interrupted everyone's discussion. He continued, "Also, Far Away Park doesn't have enough space. It's inconvenient for everyone to squeeze together. Before the end of the year, Faraway Supermarket will move to Far Away Plaza. Dongyu Real Estate will move to Greenland Building. At present, the logistics company and the internet company will temporarily stay there. We'll talk about it in the future when there are more people. Everyone, make your preparations. Don't mess up when you move. "
Many people already knew about the relocation. When Li Dong announced it, it did not cause too much chaos.
After the announcement, the meeting was almost over.
There were too many people, and Li Dong could not be bothered to talk to them. He gathered a few directors and some new leaders to the office for a small meeting.
