Chapter 275: Don't let Li Superman run
After the meeting from the Xiangjiang headquarters, Luo Jun returned to the mainland branch in Pengcheng.
He was accompanied by a man sent by headquarters. This is to do the handover and take over his position.
Walking in the company's office area, the employees all stood up and watched Luo Jun walk into his office.
Everyone was silent, no one said anything, because everyone didn't know what to say.
The announcement of Watsons Group has been issued, and the people in Pengcheng Company obviously know about Luo Jun's resignation.
Although everyone knows that he is innocent, who has what to do, everyone is just a wage earner. So I can only express sympathy, and nothing else can help anything.
"Boss, why did the headquarters treat you like this! There are so many shops in the mainland, aren't they all opened by you with your brothers one by one, now it's okay, it's not our turn to do good things, and if something happens, you will be blamed by the boss!" Luo Jun's assistant Xiao Lu said angrily, not caring at all that the people from the headquarters were next to him.
Luo Jun hurriedly stopped him: "Xiao Lu, don't talk nonsense, the matter is in our area, and no one else is to blame for this." ”
"Boss, you're just too kind, and you can't bear to be bullied like this. ”
Luo Jun smiled bitterly and shook his head, Xiao Lu is still young, and when he reaches his age, he will understand these truths.
What else can I do if I can't bear to swallow my anger, so that everyone breaks up in anger and takes the blame on their own, and the group will make up for it in compensation. And what is going on this time, people in the industry understand it, and it will not affect their future job hunting.
If you really want to tear your face, not to mention whether you can get the compensation, and then apply for a job in the future, which company dares to ask for yourself.
To be an executive, you must not only be capable, but also be able to stand up and take responsibility for the company at critical moments.
So Xiao Lu didn't understand that he had no other choice but to do it this time.
He comforted Xiao Lu a few words, and began to do the work handover with the people sent by the group headquarters. After working hard for the past few years, I just took this opportunity to take a good rest for a while, his Luo Jun's ability is obvious to all in the circle, are you still worried that you can't find your next home?
Maybe this time he can get a blessing in disguise and find a better job, Watson's practice of squeezing suppliers and employees, he can't stand it for a long time.
……
Liu Wenjuan played a little trick this time, making those people in Watson's headquarters anxious, and even the general manager of the mainland region resigned.
She was also a little reluctant in her heart, obviously she wanted to do things with Huo Hao, the senior executives of the headquarters, but it ended up hurting the pond fish.
However, Liu Wenjuan didn't care about thinking about this, she was worried about what to do in the future.
No matter how happy the online is, it has also had some impact on Watson's stores, but after all, it has little impact. It is obviously impossible for them to change the practice that has been going on for years.
Then you still have to face a choice now, give in or resist!
The resistance was very simple, directly ignoring Huo's request, and pretending that it had not happened. But obviously, there will be a lot of trouble in the future, and it is estimated that Huo Hao will card himself in store sales.
If he gives in, the headquarters will probably doubt his ability, and Liu Wenjuan knows how strong Wang Dong's character is.
She estimated that if she dared to say that she would let the company's headquarters help Watsons do the OEM, Wang Ye would fire herself on the spot.
Therefore, Liu Wenjuan had no choice, so she could only resist and not respond to Huo, he said that the deadline was one week, so he pretended to be confused. In the end, if there is really no way, then tear your face and think of another way.
Liu Wenjuan gritted her teeth, thinking that if she really couldn't do it, she would not be able to run one country at a time, all of Asia, and it was not just Watsons a cosmetics chain store.
There are also many regional chains that are not that large, but they are actually okay.
In that case, it will be more troublesome to manage, and many things such as supply and reconciliation of various channels will require a large number of people to do the work.
……
Just when Liu Wenjuan waited anxiously for a week, she was surprised to find that there was no movement at the headquarters of Watsons Group, and Huo Hao did not contact her again.
What's the matter, could it be that Huo Hao forgot about this? Liu Wenjuan thought in surprise.
What she didn't know was that at this time, Meigou had already joined forces with Temasek to acquire several core businesses of Watsons Group.
Where can Huo Hao still take care of the trouble of finding Liu Wenjuan, he is too busy to take care of himself now.
"Third Uncle...... Oh, Mr. Huo, after these three businesses are acquired, what will be left of Watsons Group? Moreover, where will I go then?" Huo Hao sat in Huo Jianning's office with a sad face.
"Wait, see if the new boss stays with you, if not, Watsons Group still has a lot of business left, and you can't be idle. Huo Jianning said nonchalantly.
As he said, the Watsons Group is actually very diverse, not only making cosmetics and distilled water, but also red wine, food courts, baby products, pharmacies, etc.
Although he said this, Huo Hao was still unhappy, the market value of Watsons Group was as high as more than 20 billion US dollars, but now it is equivalent to directly cutting it in half. He, the number one person in the group, will of course feel lost.
However, he also considered that it would be impossible for him to switch jobs to Meigou or Temasek. Let's not say whether the other party is willing to want themselves, let's just say that after jumping over, no one will take care of them on their heads, so how can they mix.
How good it is to stay in Watsons Group, there is no pressure at work, and there is a third uncle to take care of it, so life is not too comfortable.
……
On July 12, Hutchison suddenly issued an announcement, announcing that the three businesses of its Watsons Group, "personal care chain", "Watsons Distilled Water" and "ParknSHOP Supermarket", had been sold to Meigou and Temasek for US$8 billion.
As soon as the news came out, the whole Xiangjiang was a sensation.
In the past two years, when the rumors of Li Chaoren's "separation from Asia and entry into Europe" were in full swing, he vigorously sold off his industries in the mainland and Hong Kong, but bought a large amount of assets in Europe, especially Great Britain.
It can even be said that more than half of Europe's water, electricity, natural gas, and communications, half of these basic businesses, have been acquired by Li Chaoren.
Now even the core branch of Hutchison Industrial, the main business of Watsons, has been sold out, and the price is not high, it can be seen that Lao Li really wants to run.
For a while, public opinion was overwhelming, and some media openly published newspapers declaring "Don't let Li Superman run"!
This article has a great impact, and even many national media have published it, in which it details how much wealth Li Chaoren has made in the mainland in recent years by relying on the preferential policies given by the state to do real estate business.
As we all know, doing real estate business, especially in first-tier cities, without policy support, there is basically no need to think about it.
As a result, Li Chaoren enjoyed these preferential policies in the mainland and earned astronomical wealth, but now he has withdrawn and transferred all his assets to Europe.
According to incomplete statistics, Li Chaoren's investment in Europe has reached more than 300 billion!
……
Because this acquisition is the first acquisition after the listing of Meigou Online, and it is related to Li Chaoren, of course, it has attracted a lot of media attention.
Some media reporters went to interview Wang Ye and what he thought about Li Chaoren's sale of assets.
This issue is a bit sensitive, but Wang Ye doesn't want to fall into the trap, and he doesn't want to please anyone, he just said his opinion.
"Li Chaoren is just a businessman, don't put too many ideal things such as family and country feelings on him. Although these seem noble, glorious, and correct, the world's expectations of him are probably too high, and he cannot do it. ”
"Again, this acquisition is just a business, and there is no need to over-interpret it. It can only be said that it happened that Meigou needed the sales channel of Watsons chain stores, and Hutchison felt that the price was more appropriate, so he sold it. ”
Wang Ye's attitude is very fair, the media used to "mythologize" Li Chaoren, and now they are "demonizing" him, in fact, there is no need.
Throughout Li Chaoman's life, he was just a "mercenary" standard businessman. As for charity, in addition to the people of Chaoshan in his hometown, who has seen the school hospital he donated or something?
But this is also beyond reproach, others earn money by their ability, and they can spend it as they want, and you can't rely on moral kidnapping to make others have to be.
Just like Wang Ye, he also does charity, but his current donation object is only his hometown. In the future, when he is richer, he may consider other places, but that should be his own will, rather than being forced by others to do charity.
However, the development of the situation was a little out of control, and Li Chaoren could only come forward and send an open letter to defend himself.
"Don't measure me by those empty morals, I'm more like your neighbor old man"
I'm a businessman, and I hope people don't put any hats on me, whether it's tall or short, I don't want to have any.
Because I am not a moralist, an educator, not a conspirator, not a politician, I am just a businessman.
Knowing this, it's easy for you to read my self-justification. A lot of times, I choose because I don't have a better choice, not because I want to make such a difficult choice.
I conclude by saying that I am a businessman and a philanthropist, but by no means a politician, educator, etc.
I participated in the construction of Shantou University, the Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University, and the housing project in Chaozhou, which amounted to 15 billion Hong Kong dollars, and most of them were spent in Greater China. It's all pure donations, and there's no benefit to be gained. That's what I'm most proud of.
I hope that you will not deify me or demonize me, but I am just like your current colleague and like the old man of your neighborhood.
I have made mistakes just as much as they do, and I am as kind and loving as they are. I have borne my mistakes, but I have also gained my glory, and I am responsible for my life, and so are each and every one of you.
Don't give me too much praise, and there is no need to splash me with a lot of dirty water, although I don't care about my own feelings, but I care about your burning of your own soul and the fragile public opinion environment that poisons the Chinese people.
Part of my business may not be in China, but my heart has always been here, and my roots are still here.
I am from Chaoshan, Xiangjiang, Chinese, and Canadian, and ultimately we are all residents of the global village.
I love my hometown, I love my homeland, I love my homeland, I love the earth we live together, my love is sincere and deep, just like you.
