Chapter 788 Meaningful

Birthdays are just a small episode in life.

From that day on, Shen Qian continued to go on business trips, Qin Yuhan was also busy with other things, and the two of them never had any contact.

And Li Dong himself was busy, so he couldn't care less about the fight between the two women at this time.

However, Hu Xiaorui's birthday present really "surprised" Li Dong.

The birthday gift was delivered to Yuanfang Building by Hu Xiaorui himself the next day.

When it was delivered, many people were dumbfounded.

Hu Xiaorui said at the time that the gift was a bit big, but Li Dong didn't pay much attention to it.

But when the gift arrived at the door, Li Dong finally knew what she meant by "big".

This gift is really unique!

Surprised, Li Dong didn't know whether to cry or laugh. The first moment he saw the gift, Li Dong had the urge to dig a hole into it.

This is a bronze statue, the statue is very tall, at least five meters.

Statues should be solid and heavy.

It cannot be lifted by manpower, and the crane drove directly into the distant park.

When the statue was erected in the center of the park, Li Dong wanted to hide and not go out.

But Hu Xiaorui's eyes were sharp, and he saw him from a long distance, and said excitedly: "Li Dong, come and take a look, do you like it?"

Li Dong walked over from the entrance of the building with a mournful face. Seeing the installation master correcting the position, Li Dong quickly shouted: "Stop, stop for a while!"

After calling for the installer to stop, Li Dong lowered his voice and complained endlessly: "Grandma, can you stop tricking me? I'm still alive, so why are you giving me a statue?"

This bronze statue is not carved by others, and it can be seen at a glance that it is Li Dong.

The workmanship of the statue is exquisite, not the crude one. It seems that Hu Xiaorui must have spent a lot of effort and money for this gift.

Of course, money is nothing to Hu Xiaorui, but this kind of statue can't be finished in a while, it seems that Hu Xiaorui has been prepared for a long time.

Can erecting statues be done casually?

Even if it was Li Dong's own territory, it would be a big trouble if this kind of thing spread.

Since ancient times, who can erect statues?

First, the dead.

Second, the generation with outstanding achievements.

Of course, there is a third person, such as Qin Hui, who has been passed down through the ages.

No matter how rich Li Dong is, he is still a businessman after all.

He didn't make any contribution to the change of the world. If he was a small local tyrant and a small upstart, the statue would be erected, and everyone would laugh and pass by.

No one will pay too much attention to a small local tyrant, and no one will care about these things with a shallow-sighted upstart.

But he is not, his current status is not up or down.

He is well-known in the business circle, and is also a legend in the eyes of ordinary people, but he has not reached the point of meritorious deeds.

At this time, he got a statue for himself in the distance, what is going on?

What I know is believed to be not what Li Dong himself meant, Hu Xiaorui is used to messing around, everyone can understand, just laugh it off.

But I don't know, I don't know how to scold Li Dong in my heart.

You are just a businessman, a nouveau riche, and you have the nerve to erect a statue for yourself, it is too shameless.

Even if the Yuanfang Group achieves the number one position in the country, it will not do any good to do such a thing.

With this time, he could do something wrong, so why set a target for himself.

Li Dong really wants to cry at this moment, can this little aunt stop such nonsense?

Hu Xiaorui pursed her lips and said unwillingly: "What's wrong with the statue? It's not a public place, it's just in your company. Also, many people have erected statues. Look at the statues in the wax museum, aren't they all? I'm just a little bigger."

"Grandma, can this be the same? It's not the same reason. It's not auspicious for a living person to erect a statue, so we should quickly withdraw it.

I take your wish, I really can't take this. "

Li Dong knew that it was difficult to reason with Hu Xiaorui, so he had to use other methods to dissuade him.

Upon hearing that it was unlucky, Hu Xiaorui hesitated a little, scratched his head and said, "Is that so? But the sculptor said it's okay,

As long as there is no incense and worship, it will not affect it. "

"He's fooling you. Otherwise, would you still buy from him?"

"It seems to be too."

Hu Xiaorui was a little disappointed, bit her lip after a while and said, "Forget it, but what about this statue?"

Li Dong joked: "Just find a place to store it, and I can use it when I'm finished."

"Nonsense!"

Hu Xiaorui snorted, thought for a while and said, "Forget it, I'll figure it out myself. But this time the gift is considered ruined, I'll make it up for you later, you must like it."

Li Dong was afraid that she would show something new, so he hurriedly said: "No, really no. I appreciate your kindness, and I have seen the gift, so let it be."

"no!"

Hu Xiaorui said unhappily: "I said I will definitely give it away, don't worry, I didn't understand it this time, I will give you a gift you like later, you will definitely like it!"

After leaving these words, Hu Xiaorui rushed to the installer and shouted: "Load the car, let's go back!"

After saying this, Hu Xiaorui got into her car, and said to Li Dong, "I will definitely give you a gift, you will definitely like it!"

Accompanied by the words, the sports car drove away from the spot with a buzz.

Li Dong didn't know what to say at this time, he stood there and waited for the masters to load the statue, then he shook his head and went back to the building.

Because of the statue, many people were attracted to it.

Yuan Chengdao and the others all went downstairs. When Li Dong came back, the others hurriedly dispersed.

Sun Tao couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. Li, why didn't you accept it just now? In fact, there is really a lack of a statue in the park. The taboo is just a folk rumor, and we don't care about it?

As a miracle creator, having a statue of you in the park should be very impressive. "

In the company, there are not many people who dare to joke with Li Dong, and only Sun Tao sometimes jokes.

Li Dong said in a bad mood: "Come on, if the statue is erected today, the people who scold me will be sent to the capital tomorrow. I have nothing to do when I'm free, so what's the point of inviting people to scold me?"

Sun Tao laughed again, but did not continue to tease Li Dong.

The two chatted while walking, and Sun Tao asked after walking for a while, "I heard from Mr. Wu that Mr. Li wants to move the supermarket to Longhua Plaza?"

"With this plan, what do you think?"

"I have no objection. The Yuanfang Building is indeed a bit crowded now. Longhua's place is quite good. It was a bit ruined before."

"Then make preparations in the near future, and we will prepare to move when Longhua Plaza is taken down."

"good."

Sun Tao responded, and said again: "By the way, there is one more thing I want to mention to you."

"explain."

"The Ninth Chain Industry Conference will be held soon, and the Chain Association sent us an invitation letter, hoping that you can attend in person.

There will be an awards ceremony at that time, among which the Outstanding Achievement Award should be shared with us. "

"Chain meeting?"

Li Dong muttered, this is not a trivial matter.

The chain industry conference covers a wide range and has great influence in the chain industry.

Seeing him pondering, Sun Tao continued: "In addition to the chain conference, there is also the top 100 chain retail CEO summit held at the same time. Do you want to let Mr. Yuan attend?"

"No, just go."

Li Dong said: "Now you are the president of Yuanfang Supermarket, and Yuan Chengdao is the president of the group. The business is different. As for me..."

Li Dong thought for a moment and said, "What time is it? Where is the place?"

"At the beginning of next month, the location will be in the capital."

"I'll take a look at that time. If I have time, I will go there. This year is also the time for us to show up. Yuanfang has now completed the layout of the East China region, and other places are also expanding rapidly. If we don't show up at this time, it will appear that we are timid. .”

"Okay, then we'll discuss it later."

After talking about this matter, Li Dong thought for a while before saying: "I have something to discuss with you, and you can give me your opinion."

Sun Tao nodded and didn't make a sound. Every time Li Dong said that, it almost meant that he had settled down. The reason why he asked people was mainly for ventilation.

"Jiangsu University started school in September, and I asked Dean Huang to invite Chen Lang to be the opening speaker."

Sun Tao kept walking, and followed the words: "Chen is always talented, I guess you want to poach him?"

"Well, I have an idea."

"I agree with this very much. The rapid development of China Resources in the past few years has nothing to do with Mr. Chen's leadership. Nowadays, Yuanfang Supermarket lacks a leader like Mr. Chen who has an overall view. I still admire Mr. Chen. Yes, China Resources has risen from the bottom and surpassed Bailian in a short period of time, which shows the strong ability of Mr. Chen."

Li Dong opened his mouth and said nothing, Sun Tao said to himself: "It just so happens that I'm going to attend the EMBA class of Aoki University soon, and there will definitely be some delays in the distance, so let Mr. Chen represent me for the time being."

"Brother Sun misunderstood."

Li Dong sighed softly, called Brother Sun, and continued: "That's not what I meant, and I didn't want Chen Lang to replace you. According to my idea, let Chen Lang be the chief operating officer of the group, mainly in charge Shanghai business.

However, a single expansion in Shanghai cannot just be done by recruiting him.

He is the general manager of China Resources Vanguard, so I still have to give him the salary he deserves when he is recruited. That's why I prepared the position of chief operating officer.

In addition, I am going to hand over Jiangsu and Zhejiang to him in the East China region. We have just started these two businesses.

Let me first see how capable he is. The reason why I ask your opinion is mainly because I am worried that Zhang Mingduo will be dissatisfied. "

Sun Tao was a little surprised when Li Dong said that Chen Lang would be the COO of the group.

However, Sun Tao quickly sobered up and said: "This is feasible. As for Mr. Zhang, I will find a way to appease him. East China is our business center. Mr. Zhang has been in contact with East China business not long ago, and now that Henan Province is expanding. Personally share the pressure for him, he should have no objection."

"That Zhang Mingduo is counting on you, and..."

Li Dong said something but didn't speak for a long time, Sun Tao couldn't help but stop, and asked strangely: "What else?"

"Also, after you go to EMBA, don't just focus on retail business, but also learn more about other aspects. Although supermarkets are expanding rapidly, they will stop sooner or later.

However, the group's business will not stop, especially how to combine online and offline, and how to complement each other in the distant industrial chain, all of which need to be pondered.

Don't always put yourself in the perspective of a supermarket supporter. The group is so big, it is good for you to know more about things.

You are young, not even 40 years old, and some people can do well when they enter the business world when they are your age.

Learning to recharge is a good thing. The other thing is that you have this condition now, and you must combine actual combat and theory.

As the initial helm of the group, when the conditions were so difficult, we have all come through, and there is no reason to be silent at this time.

That's all for now, go back and think more, sometimes don't think so much in your heart, I, Li Dong, don't even have the capacity for this. "

After saying this, Li Dong entered the elevator alone.

Sun Tao stood still thinking about the meaning of Li Dong's words?

Want to get in touch with other businesses of the group?

Could it be that……

Thinking of this, Sun Tao couldn't help but frown, and didn't know what it was like for a while.
