Chapter 797 Claim of 30 Million (Thanks to Brother Liu Zhongzhong for the Reward of 50,000)

Chen Lang's resignation had far greater consequences than Li Dong and the others had imagined.

As the current helm of China Resources Vanguard, Chen Lang has an extraordinary position in the domestic retail industry.

At the beginning of the year, China Resources acquired Home World, ranking first among domestic supermarket chains.

The head of the No. 1 Supermarket resigned, and it was not because of age or illness, which naturally aroused countless speculations.

Although Chen Lang is still in the process of handing over and has not left China Resources, many people have already guessed who will be next?

Bailian?

Carrefour?

Walmart?

RT-Mart?

These retail giants at home and abroad have all been subject to speculation. In addition to the supermarket chain industry, others such as Gome and Suning are also targets of suspicion.

Of course, some people have also thought about newly emerging supermarket chain companies such as Nuxin Yijia and Yuanfang, but everyone thinks it is unlikely.

After all, compared with China Resources, the stage of these companies is still a bit smaller, and they are too young and not stable enough.

Just when outside speculation continued, on the morning of the 8th, China Resources Enterprise issued an announcement.

The announcement officially confirmed the news of Chen Lang's resignation, but along with the confirmation of the resignation, Huarun also announced a piece of information that Chen Lang and Huarun had signed a non-compete agreement!

As soon as the news came out, those who had guessed that Chen Lang would seek refuge with several retail companies all fell silent.

Because if Chen Lang joins another retail company at this time, he will face huge compensation.

People in the industry can probably guess how much this compensation is. It's hard for them to imagine who will pay for Chen Lang?

...

As soon as the non-competition restrictions came out, the distant side soon received the news.

Provincial Party Committee Compound.

Li Dong had just finished talking with Chen Lang on the phone, and Chen Lang on the phone seemed a little tired.

He actually knew about the non-compete clause, after all, he signed it himself.

However, China Resources also had high-level executives who left and joined a rival company before, and China Resources did not pursue responsibility. Chen Lang subconsciously ignored this issue.

However, when the news that he might join another retail company came out, China Resources suddenly took out this killer trick.

According to the agreement, these executives are not allowed to engage in related business within two years, and China Resources will make partial compensation.

If there is a breach of contract, then naturally huge compensation is indispensable.

According to the agreement, the amount of compensation is 50 times the basic salary of the year before resignation.

Chen Lang was considered a high-level executive in China Resources before, and besides bonuses, his annual salary was not low, reaching 600,000 before tax.

According to 50 times the compensation amount, if he wants to join Yuanfang, he will have to face a huge claim of 30 million!

In 2007, what a concept of 30 million!

Li Dong offers an annual salary of tens of millions, even the CEO of a large central enterprise would throw himself into his arms, let alone 30 million.

At this time, 30 million can buy a big villa in Beijing and a residential building in Pingchuan.

For an employee, which company is willing to pay for this huge sum of money?

After hanging up the phone, Li Dong's complexion changed again and again.

30 million claims, what China Resources has done is really amazing.

Although non-compete clauses are commonly used in business circles, claims for compensation are rare.

Especially these days, everyone is you poach me, I poach you, if you claim compensation, others will also claim compensation, and in the end both sides will suffer.

And in this way, it also chilled many high-level officials.

Chen Lang has worked in China Resources for more than 20 years. It would be unreasonable to change his family at this time, but the other party's contribution to China Resources is not low.

From a legal point of view, China Resources' claim is beyond reproach.

But from a rational point of view, China Resources' huge claim is a bit unreasonable.

Li Dong exhaled and murmured: "30 million... 30 million..."

Chen Lang definitely couldn't get this money out, even if he could get it out, Chen Lang couldn't let Chen Lang get it.

Then do I have to pay for Chen Lang?

30 million is not a small amount. Don't look at the hundreds of millions and billions of investments in the distance, but that is the entire group.

Li Dong himself was actually willing to pay 30 million for Chen Lang.

But what does the board of directors think?

What do Yuanfang's existing executives think?

For a Chen Lang, it is not enough to pay tens of millions of annual salary, and now he has to bear 30 million in compensation. Can Chen Lang bring such a big return to Yuan Fang?

Chen Lang did a good job in China Resources before, but it doesn't mean that he will do a good job in a distant place.

The foundations of the two parties are different, and the models are also somewhat different. Is the money worth it?

After pondering for a moment, Li Dong made up his mind.

It's only 30 million. If Chen Lang can really lead Yuanfang Supermarket to a higher level, even if the profit margin rises by 1%, the money will be returned.

Moreover, the hype that was said in the early stage has shrunk when the money is really paid, and who will dare to seek refuge in a distant place in the future.

Isn't this the best time to buy a horse bone with a thousand pieces of gold!

After figuring this out, Li Dong called back to the company, and then went out.

...

Faraway Building.

When they heard that Li Dong was going to pay for Chen Lang, many people showed strange expressions.

This kind of emphasis is really extraordinary, everyone is willing to pay 30 million yuan in compensation, and everyone will inevitably feel a little sour.

Even Yuan Chengdao, who had been trying to lure Chen Lang over, couldn't help but feel a little tastey, and Yuan Chengdao remained rational and said, "Mr. Li, 30 million is too much."

"Of course, I'm not saying I'm against it, but according to the non-competition clause, Chen Lang hasn't received the compensation yet, so the claim amount of 50 times must be a lot too high.

When encountering such a situation, the industry generally chooses to file a lawsuit.

In the final result, even if you lose the lawsuit, you won’t pay so much compensation, and it’s probably the end.

So I think it's better to wait until Mr. Chen joins Yuanfang, and China Resources initiates a claim, and then the two parties will resolve the issue in court. "

When Yuan Chengdao said this, many people nodded in agreement.

If the compensation is tens of millions, everyone can barely accept it.

Although ten million is a lot, but Li Dong's reward to Chen Lang has reached tens of millions. At this time, spending an extra year's salary to win Chen Lang is not too much.

Li Dong was not in a hurry to speak, and thought for a moment before saying: "It seems that we are too petty, and we spent tens of millions of dollars, but we still can't get the desired result.

Now that he was about to bleed, he would make a majestic show, and a thousand troops were easy to win, but a general was hard to find. This is the time to let Mr. Chen return to his heart.

Let the elite talents across the country see how much we are seeking talents from afar!

There is no need to wait for Mr. Chen to join the job and issue an announcement saying that Yuanfang is willing to pay the money for Mr. Chen. I want everyone in the country to know that I, Li Dong, will not treat anyone badly!

You don't have to think too much, the 30 million is not only spent for Mr. Chen, but also for the distant future.

I believe that the effect of these 30 million is better than the original 200 million. "

At this time, everyone also realized that it was indeed the case. Yuan Fang was willing to stand up this time, which is really not something ordinary people can do.

Once this matter is over, Yuanfang's reputation will definitely increase.

It's not too bad to spend 30 million to achieve this effect.

Of course, this is relatively speaking, and only companies like Yuanfang that have just risen and have strong capital will do this.

If it were any other mature company with enough talent, how could they spend 30 million to pay for Chen Lang.

...

On the morning of September 8, China Resources announced the news of non-competition.

As soon as the news came out, all the flags and drums in the industry died down, and even the few retail companies that had just started planning to take action against Chen Lang also stopped.

Originally, when Chen Lang left, these companies were still planning to see if they could bring Chen Lang over.

But in the face of tens of millions of compensation, many people have to consider whether it is worth it.

Just when everyone felt sorry for Chen Lang, less than 3 hours later, Yuanfang Group issued an announcement!

As soon as the announcement came out, it immediately caused an uproar.

Yuanfang is willing to pay for Chen Lang. Yuanfang announced that Chen Lang has made great contributions to the domestic retail industry and has outstanding capabilities. If he does not continue to engage in the same industry, it will be a great loss for the development of the domestic retail industry.

For this reason, Yuanfang Group is willing to contribute 30 million yuan to compensate China Resources for the series of losses caused by Chen Lang's resignation.

In addition, Yuanfang Group sincerely invites Mr. Chen to join Yuanfang as the COO of the group.

Rock-shattering!

It's really earth-shattering!

Since the reform and opening up, such a high non-compete compensation has almost never been heard.

Also, Yuanfang's speed was too fast this time, and his shots were too majestic.

At this time, this matter can actually be discussed slowly. After all, Chen Lang has just left his job, and he probably didn't even get the non-compete compensation.

If you are willing to file a lawsuit at this moment, it is a question of whether the final restrictive clause will be established or not.

However, Yuanfang did not hesitate, and gave a strong counterattack when China Resources just showed a threatening posture.

Didn't you threaten non-competition?

Okay, I don't care, and I don't want to quarrel with you, I will pay it at once, and pay the compensation according to the compensation amount stipulated in your contract.

In this case, Chen Lang would never owe China Resources any more.

If the two sides fight against each other in the future, and China Resources still makes a fuss about this, then others will only scold China Resources for being shameless.

Originally, Chen Lang joined Yuanfang, and China Resources was his old employer. If Chen Lang took action against China Resources, he might be criticized as the seller.

However, once the compensation was paid this time, the friendship between the two parties was completely broken.

When Chen Lang targets China Resources again, no one will be able to tell the truth.

As soon as Li Dong's big hand came out, it immediately showed its benefits.

It was one thing to embarrass China Resources, and the other was to completely win over Chen Lang.

With the compensation of 30 million yuan, if Chen Lang didn't come to die for his confidant, he would probably be scolded badly.

And if Chen Lang resigns from afar in the future, probably no big company would dare to take him.

Even far away you can betray, what else can't be betrayed.

Although modern times are not as good as ancient times, this kind of blood still flows in our bones.

Naturally, everyone can understand this point, but if they understand it, they should pay 30 million yuan for Chen Lang, and no one would dare to do it.

There is too much money, 3 million is acceptable, but 30 million is really unbearable for various companies.

For a private enterprise like Yuanfang, Li Dong's words can make this kind of response as quickly as possible. Putting other enterprises aside, even the board of directors can't get past it.
