Chapter 653: The First Bullet of the New Year
After discussing Yuan Chengdao with Shen Qian, Li Dong didn't talk about business anymore.
After chatting for a few words, Li Dong asked, "How's the renovation going on in the Provincial Party Committee compound?"
"It's almost done, let's spread the smell."
"Can you move in at the end of this month?"
Shen Qian asked strangely, "What are you in such a hurry for?"
Li Dong said casually: "Didn't you say before, I will change schools for Xiaoyu and Shitou. I will move in at the end of the month, and I just signed up for school."
Hearing Li Dong talk about these two girls, Shen Qian hesitated, thought for a while before saying: "Are you really going to keep these two girls by your side?"
Li Dong frowned and watched her silently.
Shen Qian said softly: "Don't look at me like that, I didn't mean that. But you are a young unmarried man, it's inconvenient to have two little girls by your side.
If you don’t have time to take care of it yourself, it’s not good to spread the word.
In fact, according to my idea, it might be better for them to find a wealthy family for the two girls.
Can you give them material needs, can you give them affection and affection?
Think about it for yourself, among other things, how many times have you visited them in the past six months?
Li Dong, it's a good thing to be kind sometimes, but if you make decisions on the spur of the moment, you will not only cause trouble for yourself, but may also hurt others. "
Li Dong frowned, and said after a while: "I'll talk about this later. Let's wait for two years. I'll cure Xiao Shitou's illness first. At that time, they will be older and more mature. Then ask them for their opinion."
As soon as Shen Qian heard this, she knew that this guy was perfunctory, waiting for two years?
After two years when everyone has feelings for each other, are you still willing to let others adopt these two children?
However, there are some things that can be just a few words, and Li Dong will complain if he continues to talk about them.
Shen Qian didn't mention this again, and picked up the previous topic: "If you're really in a hurry, you can move in at the end of the month. The decoration materials are all the best, and many of them are pure natural materials. That's about it. I'll help you with the schooling of the other two girls later, so you don't forget."
"OK,
Thank you very much. "
"Why are you being polite to me? By the way, what about you? Are you moving in too?"
Li Dong rubbed his chin and thought for a while before saying: "It depends on the situation. I will probably move in. My grandmother and uncle are here at home now, and my cousin has to get married in the future. There has been a lot of noise recently. It’s not enough to live in, I’ll pack some clothes and move in later.”
Shen Qian heard that he was also moving here, so she smiled and said, "Then let's take some time to buy some furniture and decorate it?"
"Let Chen Ke handle this matter. I still have a lot of things to do recently."
"There's no need for Chen Ke, you are busy with your work, let me buy it for you."
Li Dong glanced at her, saw that she was eager to try, and said with a smile: "You can do whatever you like, but you have to be busy next time, do you have time to do this?"
"no problem!"
"Then you can do whatever you want." Li Dong stood up and said, "I still have something to deal with here, so I won't chat for now, I'm in a hurry."
Seeing that Li Dong was about to leave, Shen Qian couldn't help but sullenly said, "To see Qin Yuhan?"
Li Dong said helplessly: "Why are your minds getting smaller and smaller? Yu Han accompanied Aunt Yang to pay New Year's greetings to Seventh Auntie and Eighth Aunt. No one is in Pingchuan, where can we meet?"
"I went to the Greenbelt to have a look. The association has to be listed on the 28th, and it's only a few days away. I have to discuss the agreement with Zhang Jindong that day, and I have to invite many important people. I don't feel relieved if I don't go to see it. "
When she heard that Li Dong was not going to see Qin Yuhan, Shen Qian immediately recovered her smile.
Then he smiled and said: "Then I will accompany you to the Greenland Building?"
To be listed on the association, there must be a place to work.
People like Xu Shengzhe are willing to provide office space for free, but Li Dong will not put the association under the noses of others just to save this little money.
Just after Dongyu acquired Greenland, some duplicated departments were abolished, and some Greenland employees were relocated to Yuanfang Building. Now Greenland still has several floors vacant.
Idle is also idle, and Li Dong is not going to rent it out, so he just uses it as an office for the association.
In this way, not only can I fully control the association, but outsiders will also feel that the association is of a regular level.
Shen Qian insisted on going, but Li Dong didn't stop her.
Now the company doesn't have many things to do, the supermarket and the real estate side have more things to do, the mall doesn't have too many things to do, and Shen Qian is not busy, so just go.
...
In the midst of busy work, the New Year's Eve has just passed.
After the eighth day of the new year, everyone who should go to work has gone to work, and the taste of the new year has gradually dissipated.
The time for Cao Feng's marriage was also fixed during the few days when Lin Meng's parents came to Pingchuan, and they got married on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
The reason why this day was chosen has something to do with Li Dong.
He was busy during this time, both Cao Feng and Lin Meng knew that when they got married, Li Dong might not have time to attend.
But Li Dong is the most capable figure in the Cao family. If he doesn't have time, then the wedding will lose more than half of its prestige.
Well, more than 90% of people only have such a wedding in their lifetime.
It's fine if there is no big guy like Li Dong in the family. Since there is, the relationship is not bad, Cao Feng and Lin Meng naturally want to have a good time.
Li Dong didn't care about the young couple's little thoughts. In fact, even if they were scheduled to get married on the sixth and eighth day of the new year, he would attend no matter how busy he was.
Cao Feng, his cousin, gave him a good impression. He had worked hard in the supermarket before, and he had never talked about his relationship with Li Dong.
Later, he and Wang Jie were asked to manage the stocks. Although Cao Feng didn't know anything, he didn't say anything. He often took time to study stocks by himself, and sometimes asked Tang Kuan and the others for advice.
After half a year, Li Dong, a layman who is now talking about stock trading terms, is confused.
Plus, he is still his cousin, so Li Dong will take care of him no matter what.
Of course, this is due to Cao Feng's hard work.
Otherwise, they would all learn from that guy Li Nanming, and Li Dong wouldn't bother to care about them.
Although he is not in Qingyang, for Li Dong now, as long as he wants to know something, it should not be too easy, and some people are willing to help him find out.
Ever since the fake brother-in-law happened last time, Li Dong asked people to check Li Nanming.
That guy was as good-for-nothing as ever, and took several projects in Qingyang under Li Dong's name.
Originally, if it was just like this, Li Dong didn't want to say anything, just borrow it for a name, as long as you don't cut corners to embarrass yourself.
Who knows, check again, good guy, Li Dong only had one thought at the time, this guy loves to die, and I will never take care of him in the future.
After Li Nanming took over the project, he didn't let his own engineering team do it, and turned around and contracted it to a third party!
And what did the group of people under his own hands do?
To do demolition!
To engage in demolition, in Li Dong's view, this is not much different from the black society.
Yuanfang owns a real estate company, how can he not know about it?
Yuanfang has never encountered a demolition project, and Li Dong is not prepared to do it himself, or hand it over to the government, or outsource it, anyway, he is not prepared to get involved in this business.
Zhu Honggui, who had an enmity with Li Dong at the beginning, was in this line of work. When others heard that he was in this line of work, they would first look down on him.
Li Nanming put aside his serious business and subcontracted the project to others, but went to do it himself. Li Dong has completely given up on him now.
Anyway, he said hello to Qingyang, Li Dong will not stand up for Li Nanming in the future, he is too lazy to care about that guy now.
Cao Feng's marriage was still a few days away, and the two old people were busy with work, so Li Dong didn't care too much.
Just when he was intensively preparing for the listing of the association, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, that is, on February 27th, a big event happened!
For others, or in other industries, many may not have noticed the news at all.
But for the retail industry, for many overlords in the chain industry, this news is absolutely shocking.
Walmart bought Trust-Mart!
Total capital involved billions of dollars!
This is known as the largest merger and acquisition case in the domestic retail industry, and it set off a storm in the retail industry before the first month.
...
On the afternoon of the 27th, Li Dong hurried back to the company.
As soon as she entered the company, Chen Ke said hurriedly, "Mr. Li, everyone is waiting for you in the conference room."
Li Dong nodded and walked straight to the conference room without saying a word.
In the conference room.
Several principal persons in charge of the supermarket were there, but many familiar figures of Li Dong were missing.
Qi Yunna went to the capital, and people like Sun Tao and Wang Yue went to other places to sit in town. Now the new vice president Zhang Mingduo is in charge of the supermarket.
The meeting was presided over by Zhang Mingduo. Zhang Mingduo is not too old, just in his early forties this year.
He is only average in length and not very tall, but one can feel his shrewdness when one stands there.
Zhang Mingduo with a shaved crew cut saw Li Dong enter the door, bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Li, you are here."
Li Dong nodded, found a seat in the front row and sat down, and asked straight: "What are you talking about?"
"It's about how it affects us."
"Go ahead, I'll just listen."
Seeing this, Zhang Mingduo was not polite, and continued: "In fact, you don't have to worry too much. Trust-Mart's business does not have much conflict with us. They have been operating the South China market before, and Yuanfang has no business in South China, so even if they want to expand, Bear the brunt of the major retail companies in South China.
And Wal-Mart just acquired Trust-Mart, and it will take some time to digest it. During this time, everyone should maintain a stable situation..."
Zhang Mingduo first talked about the harmless theory, and when everyone nodded in agreement, Zhang Mingduo smiled again: "Of course, we can't ignore it at all."
"Actually, Mr. Wang should be the one who has the headache now. Once Wal-Mart has stabilized the situation, it will definitely choose to enter the East China market when the South China market is saturated. On the East China side, Shanghai, Jiangsu and Zhejiang should be their main players. Target.
The Jiangsu and Zhejiang markets have just opened, and Trust-Mart will enter the market soon. It seems that Mr. Wang has to speed up the progress. Yuanfang Supermarket will give some resources to Mr. Wang in the next few months. Mr. Li, what do you think? "
Li Dong nodded and said: "This is what it should be, and Mr. Wang is also responsible for the expansion of other places. During this period of time, manpower and material resources are all tilted towards Jiangsu and Zhejiang as much as possible. In addition, the merger and acquisition of Haoyouduo is just the beginning, although it will affect us. It's not big, but don't let your guard down.
This is just the first wave of the year. Since 2004, the retail industry has been undergoing mergers, acquisitions and reorganizations, and it even reached a peak last year.
Wumart acquired Meilianmei and Xinhua Department Stores, Gome acquired Yongle, Best Buy acquired Five Star Appliances, Home Depot and Matt Good acquired some stores in Home World, and China Resources acquired many small and medium supermarkets in Jiangsu and Zhejiang...
Over the past year, major giant companies have been expanding.
On the other side, Times and Kelong were also acquired last year, and the retail industry has been undergoing a major reshuffle in recent years.
According to the news I received, China Resources will soon acquire the remaining stores in Jiashijie, and the retail giant will soon lose one more.
Trust-Mart has little to do with us, but for Home World, once we sign an agreement with Suning, it will be a big trouble.
Everyone cheer up this year, the battle has already begun from now on!
This year, the Yuanfang Supermarket has launched a full-scale attack. Whether it is a dragon or a worm depends on everyone!
Tomorrow the Jiangbei Association will be established, and Suning's director Zhang will come over in the evening, and we will negotiate overnight. If there are no accidents, the strategic cooperation between Yuanfang and Suning will be officially announced tomorrow.
You are now the backbone elites of the company, and your salary is calculated on an annual basis.
But are you satisfied with that?
Give me a little excitement. When Yuanfang completes the established strategic goals this year and sits here again next year, I hope that your annual salary will not be one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, but calculated in millions!
Opportunities are in front of you, whether you can seize them is up to you.
Just at the beginning of the new year, Wal-Mart gave us a good start. Today I am not here to pour cold water on you, but to remind you that the era of wind and cloud is here!
Everyone, work hard! "
Li Dong was full of passion, and a look of excitement gradually appeared on the faces of the others.
Has the great era begun?
This year Yuanfang went south to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, west to Sichuan and Sichuan, and north to Beijing and Tianjin. Once these grand strategies are completed, what will Yuanfang look like next year?
At that time, can the manager of a subsidiary company still satisfy them?
District presidents, branch managers, these positions are all waiting for them.
No matter how bad it is, it might be better to be a manager of a provincial capital city than it is now.
Once Yuanfang continues to open up the market, they will be the candidates for the next boss, which has unlimited prospects!
When Li Dong finished speaking, everyone quickly responded in unison.
Li Dong laughed for a while, got up and said: "Mr. Zhang, you continue the meeting, so I won't say more. In addition, you should take care of the matter in advance in the afternoon. In the evening, you will have Mr. Yuan accompany me to receive Mr. Zhang from Suning. Wal-Mart put a bomb, we have to follow suit tomorrow, so that everyone will forget about us!"
Hearing the words, Zhang Mingduo hurriedly said excitedly: "Dong Li, I'm available anytime."
"Okay, then I won't say more."
When Li Dong left the meeting room, Zhang Mingduo couldn't help but secretly squeezed his fists.
Mr. Yuan letting him take over the supermarket is indeed a great coup. In just a few days, he can immediately enter the core team of the group.
The strategic cooperation with Suning involves billions of dollars in capital operations, and I didn't expect to be able to participate in it now.
