Chapter 707 The Helmsman of the Overseas Market

In the Ark Company, Chairman Merrick didn't know what the situation was, this time Li Feng came to meet with him, and he hadn't passed the gas with him, but just said that there was something important to discuss with him.

The current Ark Company has moved to the building of the New Dream Group in the United States, occupying two floors and is the biggest support of the overseas branch.

It can be said that the establishment of the overseas branch of New Dream Group is mainly based on the platform built for it by Ark Company. Otherwise, the individual projects would not have been able to localize in the United States in such a short period of time.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Feng came to the Ark Company.

At this moment, the scale of the Ark Company has expanded several times, with a total of more than 160 employees, occupying a two-story office area, and in the huge office hall, the employees are busy, most of them are local employees in the United States, and some people from the investment department of New Dream Group.

"Mr. Li, welcome to you. Merrick personally greeted him at the door of the building.

"I've come to you this time to talk to you about something important. Li Feng shook hands with Merrick.

"Okay, let's go to the conference room. Merrick said.

On the elevator, the group came to the conference room of the Ark Company, and Li Feng asked his subordinates to leave first, leaving only Li Tianlong and Merrick.

"Mr. Merrick, I came to the American branch this time because the headquarters has made a major organizational restructuring, and I plan to manage the business of the American branch in a unified manner, establish a management team, and appoint a general manager to manage all the business of the branch, so as to change the pattern of the three business divisions operating independently in the past. For this setup, I'd love to hear from you. Li Feng didn't directly explain his intentions, and wanted to hear Merrick's thoughts on this new system first.

"I think this is a very good idea, originally three systems, each operating independently, now they are integrated into one system, which can be better guaranteed in terms of execution, and the synergy performance is greatly improved. In the current Internet industry, synergy is a very important aspect, and there is a strong complementarity between the various projects of the group, and now if it can be integrated into a set of management system, then this complementary performance can be better played. Merrick affirmed Li Feng's idea.

Li Feng nodded: "So it is very important to find a person at the helm, in the American market, I hope to find a native of the United States, which is very helpful for us to show the international image of the group, and can shorten the distance between us and American users." ”

"Mr. Li, do you already have a suitable candidate?" asked Merrick.

"Yes, you're the right person for me, Mr. Merrick. Li Feng smiled and said, "I hope to further deepen the relationship between us and the Ark Company, you are now the chairman of the Ark Company, and all kinds of daily affairs can be handled by the CEO, so that you can have more energy to take care of other things." I would like to appoint you as Vice President of New Dream Group, with full authority to manage the operations of the overseas branches, and I would like you to consider this suggestion. ”

Merrick was a little surprised by this decision, and he said, "I didn't expect you to be the right person for you? Thank you very much." I would like to think about this and discuss it with our shareholders and listen to their opinions. From my personal point of view, I am also very eager to try a new job, and the cooperation between New Dream Group and us has always been very harmonious, and the development speed of the group is also very fast, being the general manager of the branch is indeed a new and challenging job. ”

"Yes, Mr. Merrick, the business model of the Ark Company is fixed, and the main work in the future is scale expansion and fine management, which is not difficult for the company, and your deputies can do these things without even using your brains. The overseas business of New Dream Group is different, it involves all aspects, it is very difficult, it is very challenging, and it will also have a lot of room for your personal growth. Li Feng said, "If you become the vice president of New Dream Group and preside over the business of overseas branches, then in the market, the attention to you will also be on a higher level, you will not only be the person in charge of an entrepreneurial project, but the main leader of a large Internet company, I believe you will not miss this opportunity." ”

Judging from the current situation, even if Merrick is the chairman of the Ark Company, compared with the New Dream Group, the gap is very large, and the growth of the Ark Company is only in the scale, not in the business model.

But New Dream Group is different, with a wide variety of businesses, and each business model will derive new business opportunities, which can be said to be endlessly changing.

Li Feng is now giving him the position of vice president to preside over the work of overseas branches, which is equivalent to pushing him to the front desk all of a sudden, and his industry status can be improved by at least ten times.

So Merrick will never refuse this beautiful difference. As a young entrepreneur who has graduated from college for less than two years, his current achievements are quite remarkable, but compared to Li Feng, it is really a small thing.

If he can become the general manager of the American branch of New Dream Group, then in the Internet industry, Merrick can also be regarded as a figure, and it is no longer as simple as the so-called young entrepreneur.

"Merrick, this is a very rare opportunity, you should think about it. Our group will make efforts in the next overseas market, and the overall operating performance of the overseas market may exceed that of the domestic market in the near future. Li Tianlong said.

"I will definitely consider this proposal carefully and give you an answer tomorrow. Merrick said.

"Well, I look forward to working with you in more depth. Li Feng got up.

To make such a major decision, Merrick of course has to discuss it with his shareholders and his family.

Li Feng walked out of the Ark Company and came to the overseas project departments of the group branches to learn about the progress of each project on the spot.

At present, the business of New Dream Group in the American market has achieved initial results, at least the head office does not need to continue to invest money, and various overseas projects have a relatively stable cash flow, and it is not a problem to maintain basic business if it does not expand in a large area.

This also makes Li Feng feel very gratified, because most of the Internet projects are very money-burning, and the group's current cash flow is also very limited, which is not enough to maintain the huge expenditure on all fronts.
