Chapter 652 Sensibility and Rationality

Li Dong directly rejected the proposal to join.

It's not that he insists on going against Yuan Chengdao, but franchising has advantages and disadvantages.

On the whole, for large chain enterprises, franchising is actually not cost-effective.

Small and medium-sized enterprises choose to join, on the one hand, to expand their influence, and on the other hand, to make a fortune.

For them, the brand is still a bit far away.

However, big companies that really value brands don't like to be franchise stores.

On the one hand, supervision is very troublesome, and a mistake in supervision may bring great adverse effects to the enterprise; on the other hand, it is chaos.

Because of the different sizes of franchise stores, it is difficult to achieve unified planning.

When a large group operates a chain, sometimes it is not only the number of stores that matter, but also the overall planning and distribution of each store.

In the previous life, there were quite a few franchise stores in the supermarket industry, such as Suguo, RT-Mart, and Hualian.

But after doing it for a period of time, these companies discovered the disadvantages.

Soon, franchise stores in various places were withdrawn, and only a few convenience stores were allowed to join, and there were almost no franchise stores on a large scale.

Not just the supermarket industry, but other industries as well.

For example, SF Express in the express delivery industry expanded rapidly for a while, looking for people to join in everywhere, but in the end Wang Wei almost capsized because of this gutter.

If it hadn’t been for him to take over SF Express again later, cut through the mess quickly, and kicked out franchise stores from all over the world, it would be hard to say whether there would be SF Express later.

Now Yuan Chengdao wants to start the franchise mode in order to save money, but Li Dong will not agree casually.

Seeing Li Dong's direct refusal, Yuan Chengdao said unwillingly: "Mr. Li, there are actually many benefits to franchising stores. Some large foreign chain companies..."

Yuan Chengdao clattered a lot of benefits and gave many examples.

Li Dong didn't interrupt, and after he finished speaking, he said calmly: "A foreign country is a foreign country, and a domestic country is a domestic one. The market is different."

"There is no need to talk about joining,

I will not agree. "

Yuan Chengdao frowned, thought for a while and said, "Mr. Li, why don't you ask everyone's opinions?"

Now that the board of directors has been established, in Yuan Chengdao's view, Li Dong shouldn't be left alone at this time.

If Li Dong continues to be arbitrary, is it necessary to set up a board of directors?

Moreover, when Li Dong asked him to take over as the president, he also expressed his position that the power will be delegated.

Now that Li Dong directly rejected his proposal, Yuan Chengdao had no choice but to bring his idea to the board of directors.

Hearing what he said, Li Dong didn't get angry, and said with a light smile: "Then everyone can talk about their opinions and speak freely. If everyone agrees, I will consider it."

The others looked at each other in blank dismay, without any haste to speak out.

Seeing this, Li Dong smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, you know the supermarket best, so please tell me first."

Sun Tao coughed lightly, glanced at Yuan Chengdao, thought for a while and said: "Franchise stores have disadvantages and advantages. In fact, if Mr. Yuan said that the franchise policy is implemented in Jiangbei or Jiangsu, I actually agree. The difference between these two provinces In fact, we have a lot of self-operated stores. Appropriately joining some small stores as an extension of our business will help improve our overall competitiveness.

And because it is right under our noses, supervision is also convenient.

But in Hubei Province and Shancheng, to be honest, we have no influence there at all, let alone whether others are willing to join.

Even if we wanted to, we are beyond our reach.

Not to mention that supervision requires a lot of manpower, even if there is a problem, it is easy to fool it.

Even in the end, the other party is likely to turn against the customer and completely break away from our system. This is all possible.

Therefore, I think it is not suitable to implement the franchise policy in the mountain city of Hubei Province. "

After Sun Tao finished speaking, Li Dong looked at Qin Hai and said, "President Qin, what's your opinion?"

Qin Hai shook his head and said, "I don't know much about the supermarket business, so I won't express my opinion on this matter, but since Mr. Sun said so, I think it makes sense."

"Where's Mr. Shen?"

Shen Qian didn't raise her head, she said casually: "Of course not, I think Mr. Yuan should think about this matter again."

After asking three people in a row, Li Dong didn't continue to ask, but looked at Yuan Chengdao.

Yuan Chengdao's face was a bit uneasy. Seeing Li Dong looking over, he sighed softly and said, "Since everyone thinks so, then I'll think about it later. But Mr. Li, since we can't join, we can only expand ourselves. Do you want to delay the time and wait for us to stabilize the situation in the second half of the year?"

"Only the first half of the year, the second half will be late."

"But in the first half of the year, our side..."

Li Dong frowned and interrupted: "Mr. Yuan, this matter has been settled before, and it is meaningless to discuss it back and forth now. Since I said the first half of the year, there must be my reasons."

Yuan Chengdao let out a sigh of relief, and finally said nothing.

Then everyone discussed some other matters separately, Yuan Chengdao finally announced the end of the meeting, and everyone got up and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Li Dong was about to leave, Yuan Chengdao shouted, "Mr. Li, I still have something to tell you."

Li Dong stopped in his tracks, and when everyone else had left, Li Dong smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Yuan Chengdao took out a document from his folder and handed it to Li Dongdao: "Mr. Li, take a look first."

Li Dong took a look at it, then looked up at Yuan Chengdao, Yuan Chengdao nodded slightly to him without changing his face.

Li Dong didn't speak, and looked down at the document for a while.

This is a new plan for employee assessment. If it is just a simple employee assessment, Yuan Chengdao doesn't need to let Li Dong look at it.

But this plan involves not only ordinary employees and middle and low-level management, but even the top management of the group.

This high-level person refers to people like Shen Qian and Sun Tao, including Yuan Chengdao himself.

Of course, Li Dong was not included.

Yuan Chengdao would not be so foolish as to examine Li Dong, so could he still kick Li Dong out?

Li Dong looked at it for a while, focusing on the assessment plan of the executives.

After reading the document, half an hour has passed.

Li Dong was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but asked, "You made this?"

Yuan Chengdao shook his head and said: "This is a new plan made by the personnel side, but I added some suggestions, including the assessment of board members. As for the specific plan, I have consulted some well-known HR at home and abroad, including some of my seniors. senior sister.

At this stage, Yuanfang is in the stage of development and transformation, and the existing management system is very messy.

Human resources are duplicated and management is out of order.

These all need to be changed. The bottom employees need to change, and the company's top management must also change.

Especially the high-level ones, because we lacked manpower in the early stage, although many high-level executives are veterans of the company, they may gradually be unable to keep up.

It's not that we cross the river and tear down bridges, but a company is a company, and feelings are feelings.

Those who can go up and those who are mediocre go down. This is the pain that every enterprise must experience if it wants to grow.

In order to let capable talents see hope, in order to let them see the company's prospects and fairness, I think it is necessary to treat everyone equally.

It doesn't mean that they can enjoy the credit on the credit book when they made contributions to the company.

We will not miss them with the benefits and treatment they deserve, and we can even lower their assessment difficulty compared to the same period last year, but let them be completely free, I think this is absolutely not possible! "

Li Dong pondered for a moment and said: "I agree with this point. It's not what I want to see. But..."

Yuan Chengdao's face tightened. In fact, senior executives were not his main purpose.

Those who he really wants to supervise are the core personnel of the group, such as Shen Qian, Qin Hai, and Sun Tao...

Although these people are his subordinates in name, in fact Yuan Chengdao has no supervision over them.

Even if he thinks that some of their plans are inappropriate, some of their behaviors are bad, or some of them are wrong, it's okay to mention one thing, but whether to change it or not, it's not up to him to decide.

Just like Shen Qian, she is on the side of the mall and wants to implement some policies and organize some activities. She has so much autonomy that she doesn't need to consult Yuan Chengdao's opinions at all.

Even including the transfer of tens of millions of funds, the bosses of these subsidiaries can be completely independent, without the need for the group's consent.

In Yuan Chengdao's view, this is an existence that must not be tolerated!

It was right that Shen Qian was his junior sister, it was right that he joined the company because of Shen Qian, and it was even more right that Sun Tao recommended him.

But Yuan Chengdao didn't care about these things, he was just like what Shen Qian said, he had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

In Yuan Chengdao's eyes, a personal relationship is a personal relationship, and favors are favors. However, in public opinion, he is now the president of the group and the number one person in the group under Li Dong.

That being the case, the rest of the group should listen to him, including Shen Qian and the others.

Rather than what it is like now, several independent small kingdoms have formed within the group, completely out of his control.

Li Dong knocked on the table with some hesitation on his face.

In fact, Yuan Chengdao's starting point this time is indeed good and pertinent. It is reasonable to bring the subsidiary under the jurisdiction of the group headquarters.

However, due to various reasons in the early stage, the subsidiaries of Yuanfang Group were actually somewhat deformed.

Among the bosses who control the subsidiary, Qin Hai is his father-in-law, Sun Tao is his comrade-in-arms, and Shen Qian is his woman. Except for Wu Shengnan who has no deep relationship with him, the other three are very close.

At this time, the three of them are included in the assessment, how to assess?

Once they fail to meet the assessment standards, are they really going to be demoted or resigned as Yuan Chengdao said?

At that time, how should Li Dong deal with himself?

But if it is not included in the supervision, Yuan Chengdao, the president, can do very little, and it is not in line with Li Dong's original intention.

After heaving a sigh of relief, Li Dong thought about it before saying: "Why don't you go to the director level first, including the vice president level of the major subsidiaries. As for the vice president and general manager level of the subsidiaries, I will personally conduct the year-end assessment. Do you think it is okay?"

Li Dong's tone of discussion made Yuan Chengdao happy, pretending to hesitate, Yuan Chengdao hurriedly nodded and said: "Since Mr. Li said so, then I will change the plan later."

In fact, Yuan Chengdao was overjoyed to achieve this goal.

Li Dong's meaning is obvious. When the assessment reaches the director and vice president level of the subsidiary, he has actually handed over the group's personnel power to him.

Although people like Shen Qian are not under his control, what can a few people change?

If the subsidiary company messes around, Yuan Chengdao can completely replace these people until they are obedient.

At that time, even if Shen Qian and the others wanted to do anything, they had to get the approval of the headquarters.

Without the approval of the headquarters, the plan cannot be implemented at all, so what is the use.

Seeing Yuan Chengdao's happy smile, Li Dong lost his spirits.

In fact, he agreed with Yuan Chengdao's suggestion in his heart, and he even thought about it before.

But he is a bit bad, and sometimes he cares too much about other people's opinions and thoughts.

In fact, many of the veterans of those companies can't keep up with the rhythm now, but Li Dong has never said anything because of his old feelings.

However, one mistake can be recovered, and two mistakes can be recovered. If frequent mistakes are made, the company will be a little bit hurt.

Yuan Chengdao is a knife that Li Dong took out to hide his shame. The company has undergone major changes, and some people will definitely be out.

It doesn't matter if you deceive yourself or others.

In Li Dong's mind, these were not done by himself, but by Yuan Chengdao. Everyone should hate Yuan Chengdao if they want to hate them.

In fact, he knew in his heart that it made no difference whether he hated Yuan Chengdao or hated himself.

But the selfishness in his heart made Li Dong choose to play dumb.

After saying this, Li Dong waved his hand and said: "Then I'll go first. I won't come if there is no major event on the company's side recently. I need to deal with the association's affairs and the cooperation with Suning. You can watch it yourself on the company's side In addition, the assessment plan will be implemented from this year."

"I see!"

Yuan Chengdao nodded heavily, of course he understood what Li Dong meant.

If Li Dong doesn't come to the company recently, then he can do something drastic.

At that time, even if everyone wants to intercede with Li Dong, they will not be able to find Li Dong, and if they find Li Dong, they can also evade their ignorance, and there will be a step down.

...

After leaving the conference room, Shen Qian was waiting at the door.

Seeing him going out, Shen Qian said: "Come to my office, I have something to tell you."

Li Dong nodded and followed her into the office.

As soon as she entered, Shen Qian frowned and said, "Why did you agree to Zhang Mingduo taking over the supermarket?"

Li Dong found a place to sit down, took a breath and said, "I know what you mean, but since Yuan Chengdao has been made the president, he can't still hold on to the power. Since he wants to build his own team , then let him try.

Besides, even if Zhang Mingduo takes over, it won't have much impact.

In fact, the supermarket has been under my control all along. Sun Tao, Wang Yue, Qi Yunna, including some city managers and store managers, are all arranged by me.

If Yuan Chengdao and Zhang Mingduo can do well, then I'm happy for it.

If it is not done well, it will not have much impact on the supermarket. In this case, it does not make any difference whether you agree or not. "

After Shen Qian heard this, she thought for a while and said, "That's true, but Senior Brother Yuan has changed a lot since he became the president."

"Normally, Yuan Chengdao is actually more rational than you and me. This is what I value about him. Sometimes it's better to be rational."

Shen Qian thought about the meaning of his words, and finally nodded.

Indeed, as Li Dong said, she and Li Dong are both emotional people.

The growth of an enterprise from the initial stage cannot be separated from their sensibility.

But now, if you continue to be emotional, it's not suitable.

And Yuan Chengdao can just fill their rational part, which is probably the reason why Li Dong has repeatedly made concessions.

In the final analysis, everyone wants to make the company bigger.

The gains and losses of personal interests, sometimes there is no need to look too seriously.

Especially Li Dong, the Yuanfang Group is his own, and if the group can really become big and secure in the hands of Yuan Chengdao, he will benefit in the end.
