Chapter 21 Sun Tao

In the previous life, Li Dong did not do business by himself, and only when he actually did business would he know how difficult it was.

The decoration of the shopping mall has already started. Yang Ding finally offered 1.1 million yuan. Li Dong thought about it and agreed.

But if you want to open a large supermarket, it is useless to decorate it, the application and approval of various qualification certificates, industrial and commercial registration, purchase channels, employee recruitment, personnel management...

Li Dong is going crazy after this big deal. It's not just money that can solve it.

Li Dong was dizzy just by applying for a certificate, business license, organization code certificate, tax registration certificate, health license, food circulation license, tobacco retail business license...

When he saw the series of applications for qualification certificates, Li Dong completely gave up the thought of doing it himself.

If it goes on like this, people will not say that they are tired and crazy. Anyway, don't think about the college entrance examination.

Yang Ding said that the decoration can be completed in two months, and it should be open for business in early August after the smell is dissipated.

But Li Dong has nothing now, and it is unrealistic to expect him to play a big supermarket by himself.

Without too much hesitation, Li Dong now just wants to find a professional manager to help him handle everything. It is best to go to those large supermarket chains to dig a few managements over.

Of course, it is not so easy to poach people. It is not only a matter of money, but a wise management without development prospects will not change jobs at will.

Li Dong is now in Pingchuan. If he wants to find a suitable management, he can only hope to come to such a big city as the provincial capital.

...

Lightweight Cafe.

Li Dong made an appointment with the headhunting consultant he contacted earlier.

The woman sitting opposite Li Dong was in her thirties, dressed in standard business attire, and was introducing something to Li Dong with a stack of documents in her hand.

"Wu Qibo, male, 48 years old, Deputy Manager of Logistics Department of China Resources Vanguard Pingchuan Branch..."

"Liu Yuan, male, 44 years old, deputy manager of the Purchasing Department of RT-Mart Pingchuan Branch..."

"Sun Tao, male, 34 years old, Deputy General Manager of Carrefour Pingchuan Branch..."

"and many more!"

Li Dong interrupted the other party's words, and said in surprise: "Miss Yang, is this Sun Tao the vice president of the Pingchuan branch?"

Yang Qing understood what Li Dong meant and explained: "Yes, we also contacted with the attitude of trying it out. I didn't expect Manager Sun to be very interested after listening to it and wanted to talk to you."

Li Dong grinned, without any surprises, but doubted: "He is the vice president of the provincial capital of a world-renowned store, and he is willing to jump to a private supermarket in a county-level city to become the boss. Did I hear it wrong or you said it wrong? ?"

Others, Li Dong, can understand. He is a little older, and he is only the vice president of the department. The future development space is also limited. The price offered by Li Dong is not low, and it is not surprising that he is interested.

But Sun Tao is only in his thirties, and now he has become the vice president of Carrefour Pingchuan. Not to mention too much, it should not be difficult to become the CEO of a certain area in a few years.

Such a person would be interested in the general manager of a supermarket in a county?

Li Dong couldn't understand it, and said bluntly: "It's okay to meet, but Miss Yang still focuses on a few other people. My family is small and I can't invite a great god."

Even if such a person is here, what is the appropriate annual salary?

Li Dong didn't dare to think that he wouldn't become a part-time worker for others, that's not what he wanted.

To be honest, he has made a lot of fuss. He is not a chain business now, he has only one facade, and he does not need such high-end talents.

Yang Qing nodded to show that she understood. In fact, she was not optimistic about Li Dong, but she was not easy to stop people wanting to meet and talk.

"Then Mr. Li will meet Sun Tao first?"

"Okay, you can call him. If you have time in the afternoon, we will meet. The others will wait until I finish meeting Sun Tao."

"Okay, I'll help you get in touch right away!" Yang Qing said simply,

He started calling Sun Tao on the spot.

Li Dong listened silently, and a few minutes later, Yang Qing said, "Mr. Li, he agreed to wait for you at Nanhu Teahouse at 3 o'clock in the afternoon!"

...

Nanhu Teahouse, Li Dong visited many times in his previous life when he met customers.

Very smoothly, I saw Sun Tao in casual clothes. He looked younger than his actual age, at most thirty years old.

Sun Tao's first impression of Li Dong is very good, with a gentle and elegant temperament, not like a businessman, but somewhat like some university lecturers.

Seeing Li Dong, even though Li Dong looked very young at first glance, Sun Tao didn't lose his temper, got up and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Li, please take a seat."

"Mr. Sun, you can also sit down." Li Dong nodded and sat down, straight to the point: "I don't know what President Sun wants to talk to me about?"

Sun Tao smiled and understood: "Mr. Li, don't misunderstand, I know that Mr. Li must have doubts, and I will explain to Mr. Li next."

"All ears!"

Li Dong didn't say much, and he didn't have anything to say.

If Sun Tao is really willing to come, the salary is not too outrageous, and Li Dong is not happy to invite such a talent.

As for the experience and professionalism, is there any real ability for a foreign-funded enterprise like Carrefour to get to this point?

"Since President Li is willing to listen to me, that's fine, I'll only say three points..."

"First, I am from Dongping, and my parents have always been in Dongping."

Li Dong nodded, expressing his approval of this reason.

Being close to home to take care of his parents is the reason, but it is definitely not the main reason. Otherwise, with Sun Tao's income, he could have received his parents from Pingchuan for support.

"Secondly, the general manager of Carrefour Pingchuan is fifty-two years old this year, and he plans to continue to retire in Pingchuan. Some senior leaders in East China are a little dissatisfied with me..."

Li Dong understands what he means. The boss is occupying the position and will not leave. If he wants to be transferred to the leader, he does not agree. There is no room for improvement.

This is indeed very important, but it is not enough to convince Li Dong.

Li Dong asked: "Tesco, Wal-Mart, RT-Mart... These are all well-known stores at home and abroad. I'm not belittling myself. I ask myself, I don't have the ability to compare with them, why would you like me?"

"Li is always a sensible person, so I won't hide it."

Sun Tao sat up straight and said solemnly, "Originally, I was interested in the market in county-level cities. I want to take advantage of the fact that the hypermarkets have not yet entered the market, and I want to start my own business to seize the market. This coincides with President Li."

Li Dong nodded, there are many people who can understand this, but few take action.

One is the lack of capital, and the other is uncertainty about the future. Not everyone is confident that they will be able to compete with those hypermarkets.

"The next thing I want to say is the most important point. If it were three months ago, I would have chosen to start my own business instead of working for others."

"However, something unexpected happened in my home three months ago. All my savings were exhausted, and even Pingchuan's house was mortgaged."

"And I also borrowed 800,000 yuan from a friend. I have the confidence that I can pay it off quickly. But I have no funds to open a supermarket by myself. After a few years, those hypermarkets will definitely settle in small cities. When I die, I'm afraid I won't be able to use it anymore."

After Sun Tao said these words, his face was a little lost, but it was quickly replaced by confidence.

Li Dong looked at the confident man in front of him and had to sigh with emotion. He was a talent, but unfortunately he didn't have room to play.

This year, he is penniless and owed 800,000 foreign debts, yet he is still so calm and confident, convinced that he has the strength to earn 800,000 soon, which is impossible for ordinary people.

And Sun Tao's vision is also very good. If there is no accident, he will open a supermarket by himself. With so many years of experience and level, it is not impossible for him to become a multi-billionaire in a few years.

But it is a pity that he has no capital now, and he will wait a few years for the rise of hypermarkets. As he said, there will be no living space for creating independent small brands.

"President Sun is very honest, but..." Li Dong shrugged and said helplessly, "It's a pity that I can't invite President Sun."

"why?"

Sun Tao couldn't believe it, he really had the will, and he was 100% confident that Li Dong would not refuse.

But Li Dong refused. To be honest, he thought that he was willing to be submissive. Why did Li Dong look down on him?

Li Dong smiled at the man who was a little rude, took a sip of tea and said, "To be honest, Mr. Sun is very good, and being excellent makes me a little worried."

"Let me tell you, what I need is a professional manager, not an ambitious entrepreneurial dreamer. Why should I trust a supermarket with millions of assets to a manager who wants to leave at any time? ?"

"What I need is steady and steady, and I don't need to have a strong pioneering spirit."

"If my supermarket is not on the right track, and you want to leave because of other opportunities, then I will have a lot of trouble."

"And I..." Li Dong pointed to himself and smiled: "What I'm most afraid of is trouble, I like to do it once and for all."

Sun Tao finally understood why Li Dong refused. He wanted to say something, but couldn't say anything.

Said he was willing to work for Li Dong all his life?

Just kidding, if he really has this heart, he might as well just stay in Carrefour.

Why did he change jobs, isn't it just because there is no room for advancement, plus he is unwilling to be let go!

"Thank you Mr. Li for listening to me!" Sun Tao understood that today's conversation was almost over, and got up to leave.

Li Dong tapped the table lightly, hesitant in his heart, and after a while he said, "Mr. Sun, I have a suggestion, do you want to hear it?"

Sun Tao's eyes brightened, he sat down again and said, "Mr. Li, please speak!"

"To be honest, I'm a little unwilling to miss a talent like Mr. Sun. I'll give you a plan, you can think about it..."

"I can hire Mr. Sun in the form of dividends. In the first three years, Mr. Sun can get 10% of the net profit. If Mr. Sun can do it for three years, these dividends can become fixed shares. A gentleman is also a boss, and it is no different from starting a business by yourself.”

Sun Tao narrowed his eyes, lowered his head and started to think.
