Chapter 375: The First Wave of Expansion and Mergers(1/2)
Originally, Li Dong was planning to take Li Lan out for a walk in the afternoon.
However, as soon as the car drove halfway, Chen Qian called Li Dong.
The acquisition of Jiaxinglong has been decided. The person in charge of going to Pingshan to discuss the matter has just arrived at the company and is now asking Li Dong to report the situation.
When Li Dong heard that it was an important matter, he had no intention of going to play. He talked to Li Lan and took Li Lan to the company.
This is Li Lan's first time to come to Pingchuan, and her first time to take Li Dong's Maybach, and also her first time to join Li Dong's company.
She used to hear that her cousin was very capable, but Li Lan's concept was actually very vague.
But when he saw that such a large company belongs to Li Dong and so many people in the company had to listen to his cousin, Li Lan truly realized that his cousin was very capable.
The little girl looked at Li Dong with admiration, especially when she saw everyone shouting respectfully, Li Lan even more admired her.
Li Dong ignored the little girl's thoughts and took Li Lan into the office and said, "You can play by yourself, you can go out and play. Don't go downstairs. I'll talk about something, don't run around, do you know?"
Li Lan nodded obediently.
Li Dong didn't say much when he saw this. Li Lan was still very obedient and there was no need to give him many instructions.
After explaining to Li Lan, Li Dong said to the assistant who was a substitute outside the door: "Let Director Zhang come to me."
The assistant in the substitute responded quickly and then made a phone call in a hurry.
Li Dong frowned slightly. Last time he said he would hire a secretary, but at that time he thought it would be okay if he didn't have a secretary.
But now it seems that it is impossible not to recruit people. If you expect these people from the Executive Department to do things, just forget about small things. If you miss a big thing, you will not be angry to death.
But now it’s better to just do it. Although the recruitment announcement has been released and the personnel affairs side is stepping up the interview, it will take a few days. Only people from the administrative department can be used in the past few days.
Li Dong waited in the office for a while, and the director of the marketing department who went to Pingshan to discuss the acquisition hurriedly walked in.
Seeing that there was a little girl in Li Dong's office, Director Zhang took a look and didn't ask much. He picked up the folder and started reporting the situation to Li Dong.
The acquisitions of the three small and medium-sized markets were negotiated by the marketing department director. Sun Tao had already negotiated almost the same in the early stage, but the price was stuck in the end.
Now Li Dong is asking for decisive action, and Director Zhang also wants to cut the mess quickly. He has reached an agreement with Jiaxinglong after just three days in Pingshan.
"Jiaxinglong has a total of six stores and a hypermarket, which dominates the retail industry in Pingshan. When Kelong merged, he also talked to Jiaxinglong about the merger and acquisition, but the other party refused. This time, President Sun took a lot of effort to negotiate with the other party. Before, President Sun put the price at 270,000 yuan, and Jiaxinglong kept asking for the price at 00,000 yuan, so he had never reached an agreement.
This time, because Mr. Li said you could raise the price appropriately, I went to Pingshan and talked with the person in charge of Jiaxinglong several times, and finally talked about the price to 2.85 million..."
After Director Zhang finished reporting, Li Dong nodded and said, "2850,000 yuan is still within the scope of tolerance. Has the contract been signed?"
"I haven't signed yet. This time I'm going to report to you. Since you agree, I will go back to Pingshan in the afternoon and the contract can be signed tomorrow."
"Well, you have worked hard during this period. If you persist for a while, you will be replenishing people in the distance, and someone will soon help you share the pressure."
Director Zhang laughed and didn't answer the conversation. Even though he was busy, the senior executives in the distance didn't feel that it was hard.
The main reason is that the power is much greater than before. Just like this time, it involves investment of tens of millions of yuan, and he will talk about it before.
But this time, there was insufficient staff in the distance and he went there. In fact, he still had a lot of autonomy. When talking about acquisition, the matter of dozens or millions of dollars was actually his open mouth.
This feeling is wonderful. Apart from being a little tired, the sense of control is really cool.
Li Dong didn't continue to say anything, and then asked, "How are the other two companies doing?"
"It's too soon. The size of the two of them is not as large as that of Jiaxinglong. The reason I dragged it before was to see the situation in Jiaxinglong. Now that Jiaxinglong has been negotiated, the two of them will soon compromise. I am going to offer a price of 180,000 yuan on Happy Department Store, and I am going to offer a price of 160,000 yuan on five-star chain. I believe it should be not difficult to get it done. Mr. Li thinks this price is acceptable?"
Li Dong thought for a while and said, "Yes, handle the acquisitions of these companies as soon as possible. Also, once the contract is signed, let the financial and management personnel from far away settle in several other companies, seal the accounts and funds, and deal with the matter of changing cards as soon as possible..."
After saying that, Li Dong remembered that this matter was not his responsibility, and said, "Forget it, just keep in mind the negotiations, I will arrange for someone to take over other matters."
"Okay, Mr. Li, then I'll leave first?"
"Go!"
Li Dong nodded and shouted to the substitute assistant outside the door: "Let President Shen and Director Liu of Finance come here. By the way, let Deputy Director Jiang of the Commerce Administration come here."
"knew!"
The substitute assistant responded and started to make a phone call in a hurry.
Because Li Dong would have to arrange to accept Jiaxinglong's affairs later, Li Dong might have to talk for a long time. He was afraid that Li Lan would be anxious, so Li Dong looked at Li Lan with his chin beside him and said, "If you are bored, I'll ask the driver to take you out for fun, or take you to the restaurant."
Li Lan shook her head and whispered: "Brother, can I just stay here?"
"Of course, but aren't you bored?"
Li Lan showed two dimples on her face and said with a smile: "I'm not bored. I feel very handsome when I watch my brother talk about things."
As he said that, he learned Li Dong's movements, waved his hand and pinched his throat, "Okay, that's it, you can go down!"
Seeing this, Li Dong couldn't help but smile and rubbed her head again.
After a while, Shen Qian and the others also entered the door. Li Lan consciously walked to the reception area and sat down without disturbing Li Dong again.
Shen Qian asked, and knew it was Li Dong's cousin, so she nodded to Li Lan and did not communicate too much.
In the afternoon, Li Dong mainly discussed the merger with them.
The acquisition of Jiaxinglong is just a start. Next, accept and integrate the other party’s store with the distant place is the key part.
Lower-level employees do not need to be replaced now, but the companies acquired by the senior management will definitely change them.
If you don’t say you’re kicking them all away, most people will definitely step down.
This requires filling in the remote area, because it is not a self-built store in the remote area, and it requires more manpower.
All six stores have to send people to accept it, which will stabilize the morale of the army. In addition, there is also a hypermarket, which also requires professionals to accept it and financial review.
These alone are enough for Li Dong to drink a pot. Without a team of 20 people, it is difficult to accept Jia Xinglong as quickly as possible.
This is the first one. Although the next two companies are smaller than Jiaxinglong, they cannot be short of their staff. Three cities, at least fifty people are needed to be used in the distance.
Li Dong and Shen Qian and the others talked for three hours before they arranged everything.
After talking, Chen Qian said with a tired look on her face: "Mr. Li, now she is only accepting three small enterprises, and our staff is already short of people. Now she has barely taken over the three cities, but what should I do with the times? The times are not smaller than ours, and with the change of ownership, the morale of the army is unstable, and the stability is a big problem."
"I know."
Li Dong nodded first, and then said: "The times cannot panic, and slowly transition. There is actually no shortage of grassroots personnel. What I am considering is the key to who will take charge of the general manager at that time."
The times are far away in southern Jiangsu, and Li Dong will definitely not be in charge.
It is okay to be in charge temporarily, but Times City is not a temporary matter. I am afraid that this transition period will not be possible without a year or two.
Naturally, Li Dong can't stay for so long, and Sun Tao, Chen Qian and the others can't do it either.
Jiangbei is also quite busy. As soon as Sun Tao and Chen Qian leave, the company becomes even busier. Li Dong is really afraid that he will not be able to do it.
The times are particularly important and large in scale. Without an elite management or even an elite team, how could Li Dong feel at ease?
As soon as Li Dong said, Chen Qian also reacted and said, "Then do you mean to recruit people again, senior management?"
"It depends on the situation. Some senior executives in the era can still be used, but we also need a general manager here. You can't go there. If it really doesn't work, I'll let General Sun go there for a year or two."
Jiangbei is much more stable than Southern Jiangsu. After Sun Tao left, it is still okay to hire another vice president to support him.
At present, it seems that Sun Tao is the most suitable for Nansun. Wang Yue is not good. Wang Yue is an expansionary talent. The time has been acquired, and what is needed is to be smooth and excessive. Sun Tao is more suitable than Wang Yue.
Chen Qian nodded when she heard this and said a little gloating: "Mr. Sun is not bad in the past, so you don't have to be suppressed by you. Maybe he is still happy."
Li Dong rolled his eyes and said, "Go to you, am I that kind of person? Don't talk about these useless things. Go back and talk to Song Jie, hurry up, what is their Human Resources Department doing? It's been so long, and a job fair has not been completed yet? It's June, and the graduation recruitment will begin soon. Should I really wait for someone to get a diploma before recruiting!"
"It's almost done, don't rush it too quickly. Now everyone is working hard and looking for personnel. Are you not in a hurry to think Song Jie?"
"Okay, then that's how it comes first."
Li Dong said and added: "By the way, you can arrange the acquisition of Jiaxinglong and notify the media to let them report it. As soon as the contract is signed tomorrow, the media will start reporting, so that everyone can see the strength of the distance and divert their attention."
Chen Qian understood what he meant and nodded, "No problem. I know that we are acquiring local companies, and others will not think of us getting involved in the matter of Southern Jiangsu."
"That's good."
The two discussed a few more words next, and finally Chen Qian yawned out of the office.
Li Dong was very tired, but fortunately, he was almost done and he would be idle for a few days next.
Just as I was thinking of taking Li Lan out for fun tonight, I was thinking of taking Li Lan out for fun in the next few days, Li Dong's cell phone rang.
As soon as he saw the call number, Li Dong immediately patted his head!
I almost forgot about the big thing after a rest.
The phone call was called by Wang Jie, and the guy is going to get married the day after tomorrow.
Last time Wang Jie went to Pingchuan to send invitations to Li Dong, and Li Dong also said that if he was fine, he would go over to help in advance. Who knew that he would almost forget this after getting busy.
Fortunately, I remembered it now, otherwise I wouldn't go when Wang Jie got married, so I'm afraid that that guy would hate him to death.
After answering the phone, Wang Jie's voice came from the other side of the phone. Wang Jie asked, "Dongzi, are you busy tomorrow?"
"Aren't you getting married the day after tomorrow?" Li Dong asked immediately.
"Nonsense, of course, it's about getting married the day after tomorrow. But if you are not busy, come here early, have to drink a warm-up tomorrow, and set up a new house. Another thing I forgot to tell you last time, I lack a best man, can you help me?"
"I'll go! We're getting married soon. You guy said you didn't find a best man?" Li Dong rolled his eyes. Wang Jie was really heartbroken.
Wang Jie said depressedly: "Nonsense, of course I've looked for it. The other party is my cousin. But that bastard doesn't know who said that he has been the best man three times and he has to be a bachelor in the future. This guy has been a two-time man before. This time he changed his mind temporarily and was unwilling to do so. I can't force him."
Li Dong couldn't help laughing, and then said, "Okay, let's talk about this tomorrow. If there is nothing particularly important tomorrow, I will rush back to Dongping first. The best man is not the best man. I have to think about who told you, the first guy, to not look for me."
