Chapter 434: Group President Candidate

In the era of mergers and acquisitions, it is not a task that can be completed in three or two days.

Before Yuanfang completely takes over Times Times, Times will continue to be run by the previous management.

In the early stage, Li Dong will send some high-level executives to the era, and after the complete takeover, these high-level executives will either go or stay.

Of course, this is relative to other mergers and acquisitions.

On the Times side, Li Dong has already made up his mind that at least 90% of the management will be dismissed, and at least half of the middle and lower management will be dismissed.

It was a difficult decision, but Li Dong chose to do it in the end.

When Li Dong and Sun Tao mentioned it, Sun Tao's face was heavy.

After smoking two cigarettes in a row, Sun Tao said a little tiredly: "Mr. Li, is it too much action? 90% of the management has left, and the era is almost empty. This is too detrimental to the future development of the era. Slow down." how about slow?

Waiting for a year or two to gradually remove these people is much safer than doing it in one step. "

"Severe illness requires strong medicine! Don't think that the current era is still profitable, but if this continues, the era will have to withdraw from the stage of history.

You know better than me how the competition in the retail industry has been in the past two years. Who is not making drastic reforms and development, and who is not running forward desperately.

But the times, have been living on their laurels!

How many years have passed, and how many new era stores have been added, you know better than me.

Times currently has a total of 37 hypermarkets and 8 supermarkets. Last year, Times actually only added three hypermarkets and two supermarkets. This year, there are even fewer hypermarkets. Only two hypermarkets have opened up to now!

You said, how can I keep such a management team? "

After Sun Tao listened to it, it took him a long time to sigh heavily: "Then I will listen to you, but how should the Times arrange it?"

"If I let you come to Sunan, what's your opinion?"

Seeing that Sun Tao was a little surprised, Li Dong added: "Say it straight, whether you want it or not, or if you have any problems, you can say it. There is no need to be so estranged between you and me."

Sun Tao hesitated for a moment and asked, "If I come to Sunan, what will the company do next?"

Li Dong knew he was talking about personnel issues.

However, Li Dong has not fully considered this point yet, so he thought for a while before saying, "Have you heard about my plan to form a group?"

"Well, I heard that, what you mean is to set up a new management organization with Yuanfang Supermarket, Yuanfang Mall, Dongyu Real Estate, and Times Supermarket as the four major subsidiaries?"

"No, I've changed my mind."

Sun Tao showed doubts and asked, "Then Mr. Li..."

"Four subsidiaries are still four subsidiaries, but Yuanfang Supermarket and Times Supermarket merged, and I plan to pull out a logistics company alone."

"Logistics company?"

Sun Tao frowned even more, Li Dong always thought about what to do, he was really under a lot of pressure.

The supermarket was not ready yet, and then he started to build a shopping mall. Before the shopping mall was ready, he started to build a real estate business. As a result, these three things were not cleared up, and he was going to do logistics again.

Although logistics and supermarkets are closely related, there are still differences between supermarket logistics and specialized logistics.

Before Li Dong set up multiple express delivery points in Pingchuan, Sun Tao thought that Li Dong might have an idea, but he didn't expect it to come true now.

The establishment of a specialized logistics company clearly means that we must vigorously develop the logistics industry, and even have the same status as supermarkets.

Sun Tao thought for a while, and finally said softly: "Mr. Li, you can decide for yourself. I want to be in charge of the supermarket in the future, can I?"

Li Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "Specially in charge of supermarkets? Do you know the difference between the general manager of a group and the general manager of a subsidiary?"

If Li Dong establishes a group company, Sun Tao will be the general manager of the group.

Nothing else, just because he is one of the founders of Yuanfang.

Moreover, Sun Tao still holds shares in a distant place. The general manager is not Sun Tao. I am afraid that many people are not convinced.

However, Sun Tao now says that he wants to manage the supermarket, so he can be a vice president at most, and the group president must be in charge of all affairs.

Sun Tao nodded, handed Li Dong a cigarette, and lit another one himself.

After taking a few puffs, Sun Tao said: "Mr. Li, I know your benevolence and righteousness. You have always taken care of me, but I know exactly what kind of background I am. As for supermarkets, I have been in business for so many years. , but I have been trying to keep up with the pace of the distance, and I am still somewhat sure.

But now the distance involves real estate, shopping malls, logistics...

At this time, you let me manage the group. To be honest, my legs are weak. I am afraid that I will become bald after working for a year or so. The pressure is too great. "

After speaking, Sun Tao joked again: "Besides, I'm not married yet, so you have to give me some time, right? You can't really let me be a bachelor for the rest of my life."

Li Dong suddenly laughed.

After taking a puff of cigarette, Li Dong said again: "Is it really decided?"

"Um."

"No regrets?"

"This..." Sun Tao smiled wryly, "Maybe, but I don't regret it now. You have to be self-aware."

Li Dong pondered for a while, and Sun Tao's sudden decision disrupted his deployment somewhat.

Before, he planned to make Sun Tao the president, Shen Qian to be in charge of the mall, and Wang Yue to be in charge of the supermarket...

But now that Sun Tao has put down the pick, the personnel aspect has changed a lot.

After thinking for a while, Li Dong said, "Then who do you think is suitable to be the general manager of Yuanfang at this stage?"

"It's hard for me to say this, but to put it bluntly, there is still no such person in the distance."

With the newly established group, the new acquisition era, and the newly established logistics company, the company will definitely be in chaos in the early stage.

At this time, the general manager must be stable and have an overall view. It is best not to come from a distant place in the department, let alone have any selfishness.

People from the four subsidiaries, no matter which system they come from, will definitely be biased.

But in the distance, it is the time when everything is waiting to be done. At this time, a little selfishness may cause big troubles.

That's why Sun Tao said that there is no such person in the distance.

Li Dong thought for a while, and said with a headache, "Since you know, why are you still picking?"

To be honest, Sun Tao may not be capable enough, but Li Dong can still trust him.

The two started from humble beginnings. In the past two years, Li Dong dared to fight hard, but Sun Tao has always been doing the work of maintaining the company's stability.

When the company changes into a group, stability is what it needs at the beginning, and Li Dong is also optimistic that Sun Tao can do well, even if there is a slight flaw, Li Dong can accept it.

But now that Sun Tao quits, Li Dong can't force him.

After taking a long breath, Li Dong said again: "Then do you have a suitable candidate in your mind?"

"have!"

Sun Tao's answer was somewhat beyond Li Dong's expectations.

Seeing Li Dong looking over, Sun Tao smiled and said, "I really have a suitable candidate, it depends on whether you dare to use it or not."

"who?"

"Yuan Chengdao!"

Li Dong suspected that he heard it wrong, and repeated: "Who?"

"Yuan Chengdao!"

This time Li Dong was sure that he heard correctly, but soon Li Dong said angrily: "What an international joke! Yuan Chengdao, he is an expert negotiator, you said he is suitable to be the president of Yuanfang, President Sun, Big Brother Sun, you Is it because I don't have a wife to comfort me, so I fell in love with him lonely!"

Sun Tao's face was full of black lines, and he said speechlessly, "What are you talking about, I'm serious."

"Really, what is it, what makes him suitable to be the president of the distant place, can you tell me?"

"First, Yuan Chengdao is not only a negotiator, he is also an elite in the management department. You may not know that Yuan Chengdao served as the COO of a multinational group before, and then served as the CMO of a foreign company, and O ...

That is to say, he has been chief operating officer, chief marketing officer, chief negotiator...

Those few companies are not small companies. Yuan Chengdao has achieved this step, which shows that his abilities are multi-faceted. "

Li Dong touched his chin and said, "What else is going on?"

No wonder Shen Qian admired Yuan Chengdao very much. If this is true, it shows that Yuan Chengdao is really not weak.

After all, he was only in his early thirties, and having such a rich resume shows that he is really strong.

Li Dong thought for a while and said, "What else?"

"Secondly, I have spent more than a month with Yuan Chengdao this time, and I have some understanding of his character. This person is open-minded, impartial, and calm. He is also very suitable for controlling the Yuanfang Group, which was relatively chaotic in the early stage."

"Third, after this negotiation, Yuan Chengdao has a certain sense of belonging to the distant place, which is very important."

"fourth……"

"Okay, don't talk about it, they are all advantages, so there are no disadvantages?"

"Yes!" Sun Tao nodded and said, "Yuan Chengdao naturally has shortcomings, and there are many. The most obvious point is that he is too arrogant, and he is not suitable to be someone else's subordinate."

"Then you still say he is suitable!"

"Mr. Li, after listening to me, although Yuan Chengdao is very arrogant, but this is also rewarding. Do you think he can be proud in front of you?"

Li Dong couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Are you flattering me? Who said this guy can't be proud? When we first met, didn't you see that?"

"It was at the beginning, and now is now. At the beginning, it was because he didn't know you, Mr. Li. Now he has a certain understanding of the distance, and you have seen it this time. Is Yuan Chengdao still acting the same as before?"

"That's true."

Li Dong nodded, this is the truth, this time Li Dong came, Yuan Chengdao has indeed changed a lot.

At the very least, he at least maintained due respect for Li Dong.

Of course, these alone are not enough to make Li Dong tempted. Li Dong hesitated for a moment and said: "Let me think about it again. You can send me his detailed information later."

In fact, Li Dong did not mention another reason, that is, Yuan Chengdao was introduced by Shen Qian.

Wu Shengnan from Dongyu Real Estate, Yuan Chengdao, president of the group, Shen Qian from Faraway Mall...

Even if Li Dong maintained 1000% trust in Shen Qian, he would not dare to do such nonsense. Shen Qian is Shen Qian, and that is just her.

Don't forget, behind Shen Qian is the Shen's Group, a big group in the capital, and Du Anmin, a big official in the officialdom.

If the people in the distance become Shen Qian's side, even if Shen Qian is not in the mood, there is no guarantee that others will be.

This is just one point, the other point is that the influence is not good.

Originally, Li Dong and Du Anmin were rumored unclearly by outsiders. If even the president of the group became Du Anmin's daughter's senior, then Yuanfang would be labeled in the future. This is not what Li Dong wanted.

There is support behind it, but too much political involvement is not what a large group should do.

In fact, the most important thing Li Dong should do now is to keep a distance from Du Anmin, not to cross the river and tear down the bridge, but to do this for the benefit of both parties.

Excessive involvement of officials in business and excessive involvement of businessmen in politics are not the right path.

There was no way to do it before, but now that Li Dong has gained a firm foothold, it's time to get rid of Du Anmin's influence.

Of course, this did not happen overnight.

At the very least, with Shen Qian around, it was almost impossible for Li Dong to break away from Du Anmin completely.

Fortunately, Li Dong knew what the future of Du Anmin would be. He was promoted, not demoted, otherwise Li Dong would not have dared to do so.

Thinking of this, Li Dong also had a headache.

Since Yuan Chengdao is not suitable, who should I turn to?

Also, in addition to the president, how should other subsidiaries be arranged?

Also, where will the gap in personnel be filled?

It was too troublesome and there were too many things. Li Dong felt dizzy when he thought about it, and even began to ponder in his heart whether to postpone it.

At present, the timing of establishing a group seems to be a bit early, and things just happened to come together.

It might be more appropriate to delay it by two years.

But when he thought about what he was going to do next, if he didn't finish integrating the resources at hand, Li Dong really didn't have the confidence, he was in a dilemma!
