The eighth day of the first lunar month.
On the third floor of Dongping Supermarket.
The small conference room was packed with people. Qi Yunna, the manager of Nanping Supermarket, pulled Sun Tao aside and asked, "Director Sun, I heard that General Manager Li is going to give out the year-end bonus today?"
"Director Sun, can you tell us how much it is?" Guo Mingzhi, the manager of He Chuan Supermarket, answered with a smile.
Xie Hong, the manager of Qingyang Supermarket, glanced at the two of them and joked, "Even if you give out the year-end bonus, you won't get much with your performance."
Qi Yunna immediately ignored Sun Tao and retorted sarcastically, "Old Xie, don't talk nonsense! The conditions of Qingyang Supermarket are so good, and General Manager Li has given us the most resources. How dare you show off with your performance! "
"That's right!"
"If I were the manager of Qingyang Supermarket, my performance would definitely be better."
…
The other managers retorted one after another. Who asked Xie Hong to offend the public?
Xie Hong looked embarrassed. He rubbed his head and mumbled, "What's wrong with my performance? You guys might not even be as good as me."
Sun Tao saw that they were quarreling, but he still smiled and did not speak. He turned to Fang Hao and asked, "Manager Fang, are you feeling any pressure?"
Fang Hao, the newly appointed manager of Dongping Supermarket, said with some fear and trepidation, "Director Sun, to be honest, I'm under a lot of pressure."
Far away, everyone knew about the situation in Dongping Supermarket. That was where Li Dong started his business.
If he did well, he would be doing his duty. If he didn't, he would be incompetent.
Previously, Fang Hao was not happy with Yang Yun, thinking that she had stolen his position.
But after Yang Yun left and he became the manager as he wished, he felt an invisible pressure pressing down on him. In just half a month, he felt like he was being crushed.
Sun Tao patted his shoulder and encouraged him, "Do a good job. Since General Manager Li gave you this responsibility, it means that he thinks highly of you. Believe in yourself. General Manager Li and I have seen your performance in the past half a month. You have done a good job. "
Hearing this, Fang Hao hurriedly thanked him, and his furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
While everyone was chatting, Li Dong stepped into the conference room.
After looking around and seeing that almost everyone had arrived, Li Dong cupped his hands and said with a smile, "First, I wish everyone a happy new year. Thank you all for your hard work last year!"
"Not at all, not at all."
"General Manager Li, Happy New Year!"
"…"
Everyone responded at once, and Li Dong gestured for everyone to sit down.
When the conference room quieted down again, Li Dong continued, "I was too busy before the New Year, so I didn't have time to gather everyone together. Today is a belated annual meeting."
"I'll skip the small talk. I have a few things to say today. Of course, the bonus will definitely be counted as one of these things. "
As soon as Li Dong finished speaking, the meeting room burst into applause.
Seeing this, Sun Tao immediately smiled and said, "General Manager Li, now that you mention the bonus, everyone's spirits are different."
Li Dong also smiled. "If I didn't give the bonus at the end of last year, these guys might have secretly scolded me for being stingy."
"No, General Manager Li, don't slander us." Qi Yunna hurriedly interrupted with a smile.
Li Dong did not refute, but said with a smile, "Since Store Manager Qi said so, then Store Manager Qi's year-end bonus will not be given."
Qi Yunna suddenly became listless, which made everyone laugh.
After everyone had laughed, Li Dong continued, "Let's not be in a hurry to give the bonus. Anyway, it's not going anywhere. Let me first report the results of So Far Away last year. "
Everyone laughed for a while, then quieted down and listened attentively to Li Dong.
"The first store So Far Away, the Dongping branch, opened on August 1, 2004. As of February 8, 2005, which is New Year's Eve, it realized a total profit of 8.2 million."
As soon as Li Dong finished speaking, there was a burst of applause in the meeting room.
Everyone congratulated Fang Hao. Fang Hao blushed and stood up to thank him. Although the performance was not entirely due to his efforts, he was the current store manager, so it was naturally recorded under his name.
In half a year, the profit was more than eight million. The Dongping branch was worthy of being the first.
Then Li Dong said, "The Qingyang branch opened on December 8, and as of New Year's Eve, it made a profit of 3.25 million."
Everyone congratulated Xie Hong again. Although three million could not compare to Dongping, don't forget that it had only been opened for two months.
Li Dong did not interrupt. After everyone calmed down, he continued, "The Nanping branch made a profit of 2.82 million."
"The He Chuan branch … made a profit of 2.48 million."
"The Yanghe branch … made a profit of 2.3 million."
Li Dong finished talking about the branches in Qingyang in one breath and continued, "Finally, the Longhua branch. The Longhua branch opened the shortest time. It opened on January 24, and as of February 8, it made a profit of 2.6 million in half a month!"
"Clap, clap, clap!"
The applause in the meeting room was even more enthusiastic. A profit of 2.6 million in half a month was really beyond everyone's expectations.
Even with the peak at the end of the year, a profit of more than five million in a month was enough to shock everyone.
What made everyone even more excited was that they saw a bright future. With such a high ability to make money, So Far Away could be said to have a bright future.
Li Dong coughed a few times. After waiting for everyone to calm down, he smiled and said, "In other words, the total profit of the six stores last year was 21.65 million."
As if afraid that everyone was not surprised enough, Li Dong threw another bomb. "The six stores sold a total of 26 million shopping vouchers!"
"Boom!"
Everyone in the meeting room was really shocked this time.
Although shopping vouchers could not be counted as a profit, they could still be exchanged for cash reserves.
Faraway Supermarket had a cash revenue of nearly 50 million in half a year. This figure was enough to shock everyone.
To be honest, even a company that was ten times larger than Far Away's might not necessarily have 50 million in cash.
The retail industry had the most cash flow. For example, some IT industries, although the estimated value was ten times or even a hundred times higher than Far Away's, in fact, the cash they could actually come up with might not be as much as Far Away's.
Everyone was whispering to each other, and everyone's face was filled with a happy smile.
Seeing this, Li Dong added, "Last year's expenditure was also not small. Most of it was on renovations and rent, which cost about 20 million in total."
Everyone was mentally prepared for this. After all, the renovations and rent in Longhua alone were more than 10 million.
Even so, Far Away's remaining funds were sufficient.
Seeing that everyone was so excited, Li Dong was not in a hurry to speak.
When everyone was almost done venting, Li Dong turned his head and asked, "Director Liu, tell everyone, how much money do we still have in our accounts?"
Seeing that Li Dong was asking her, the newly appointed financial director, Liu Hongmei, stood up and said, "Excluding other expenses, we currently have 56.65 million in cash, of which 32.2 million is pledged."
After listening to Liu Hongmei, while everyone was still excited, Li Dong smiled bitterly and said, "So, excluding the money from the shopping vouchers and payment, I still lost 1.55 million last year?"
Everyone knew that Li Dong was joking, and they all laughed.
On the books, it seemed that Li Dong did indeed lose money, but in fact, he gained six more stores, a logistics company, and a house.
These alone were more than 20 million, which meant that Li Dong had a net income of more than 20 million in half a year.
For ordinary people, this was no less than an astronomical figure.
