Chapter 775: Loser
Hearing Daofu's words, Zhang Xiaodong's face changed slightly.
He laughed dryly and said, "Dao...... Mr. Dolph, I don't understand what you mean. β
There was silence on the other side of the phone, and after a while, Daofu said, "Zhang, I regret and I am sorry to inform you that the board of directors has decided to abandon all of Wal-Mart's business in China. β
There was a muffled sound in Zhang Xiaodong's head, and he stood up excitedly.
βweishenmeοΌ weishenme to give up? Although we are experiencing a little bit of difficulty now, we can persevere. I've put too much effort into this, Mr. Michio, haven't you? It would be a shame to give up like this, and all our efforts would be in vain! β
Listening to Zhang Xiaodong's excited words, Daofu's voice was still flat, but there was a faint dissatisfaction in the blandness.
"Zhang, I'm sorry, I can't do anything, I have to think about the interests of the shareholders. I gave you plenty of support and time, but all you left me to see was a pile of rags. You've betrayed my trust, you've made me embarrassed on the board. β
"Mr. Dolph, you listen to me, you must listen to me. My jihua was perfect, yes, perfect! Now it's just a little bit of a problem, and after giving me a year, oh no, half a year, I swear I'll get better! We have preemptively occupied the third and fourth tier markets, although the current situation is not optimistic, but it is like the darkness before dawn, as long as we can survive our ......"
"Enough Zhang, I can't change the board's decision, and even if I give you time, they won't give you time. Prepare to go and talk to Sunday, maybe they will be interested in our store, and in two days the headquarters will send someone to help you negotiate with Sunday, and that's the decision of the board of directors. Michio interrupted Zhang Xiaodong again.
Zhang Xiaodong was slightly stunned, then gritted his teeth with an ugly face and said, "You...... What do you say? Do you want to sell our store in Huaxia to Sunday? β
"Yes."
"Damn! weishenme are they? Don't you know that we and Sunday are rivals and enemies? Zhang Xiaodong asked angrily.
The dormichi on the other side of the phone frowned slightly when he heard Zhang Xiaodong's words and said, "I think you should make one thing clear first, it's only you who have a grudge against Sunday and regard it as an enemy, not Wal-Mart!" Walmart and Sunday are rivals, but never enemies. β
After a pause, he continued: "To be honest, I don't want to sell the China business to Sunday because it would be a sign that we have lost to them. But unfortunately we have no other choice, during this time we have talked to many investment institutions with common sense, but none of them are willing to take over this mess. β
Zhang Xiaodong's face was pale, and he squeaked and squeaked as he clenched the microphone.
Walmart headquarters decided to sell its China business to Sunday? This is undoubtedly equivalent to bad news for Zhang Xiaodong!
What did he waste so much effort for? Isn't it just to defeat Sunday and let everyone know his Zhang Xiaodong's ability?
But now he's going to compromise on Sunday as a loser! This is no longer just as simple as shame, in his opinion, it is simply trampling on his dignity!
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Xiaodong said, "Mr. Daofu, if you have to do this, then you should send someone else, I'...... I can't face Sunday as a loser. β
Hearing Zhang Xiaodong's words, Daofu sighed lightly in his heart and shook his head, did he really look at the wrong person?
A guy who can't even admit defeat can really be a business wizard?
"Okay, I respect your choice, but you need to send a letter to Sunday in the name of Walmart Huaxia, and in two days our people will be there and they will be responsible for negotiating with Sunday."
Zhang Xiaodong gritted his teeth, he was unwilling, but he knew that he had no other choice at all.
Don't look at him as the president of Huaxia, he seems to be majestic, but to those shareholders of Wal-Mart headquarters, he is just a worker, at best a senior worker.
After calming down a little, he said, "I don't know how Mr. Michio is going to arrange for me?" If possible, I think it's better not to let me work at the headquarters, or let me go to other areas. β
The monk on the other side of the phone was silent, and after a while, he said, "I'm sorry Zhang, we don't have any arrangements for your future work." β
Zhang Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, then frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" β
"What I mean by that is that when you take over all the business in Huaxia on Sunday, your contract with Walmart will be terminated. You should know that we chose you just to hope that you could make a difference in Huaxia District, and now we have decided to give up Huaxia District, so you ......" Michio didn't finish speaking, but his meaning was already very clear.
Zhang Xiaodong listened to Daofu's words and knew that he was laid off, or that he was fired......
A monstrous anger arose, he thought that he had worked hard, since joining Wal-Mart he has always been from the company's point of view, to work hard, never asked for any self-interest.
Although he lost, he paid.
But now they want to sweep him away like garbage, which he can't tolerate!
"Mr. Astoria, I thought I needed to remind you that I had a three-year contract with Walmart! It's only been a little over a year now. He clenched his fists, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a calm tone as much as he could.
"I know Zhang, this time, in addition to the negotiators, there will be a team of financial and lawyer companies of the company, and they will review the business situation of Huaxia District for more than a year, and if there is no problem, we will pay you liquidated damages. Of course, this is not to say that you are not trusted, just necessary procedures, and I believe that you should not have done anything that violates professional ethics, right? β
Without waiting for Zhang Xiaodong to speak, Daofu said again: "Okay, I still have some things to do, zuihou thank you for your efforts this year, although the result is not good." With that, he hung up the phone.
Listen to the beep on the phone...... Honk...... Honk......
Zhang Xiaodong could no longer hold back the anger in his chest, he slammed the earpiece on the ground, and pounded the table with both hands.
"Damn! How could they do this to me?! How can this be?! I'm fucking paying so much for the company! In the end, they're going to fire me?! And you're going to send someone to censor me?! Fuck, these foreigners really don't have a good thing! "He was terrible.
Michio's words are already very clear, the staff of the headquarters will come to review the situation of Huaxia District for more than a year, and if there is nothing greasy in it, then pay him liquidated damages, if there is a problem, then don't think about liquidated damages.
To put it bluntly, people don't trust him at all, and this liquidated damages eighty percent can't be taken, although he has been doing his best for more than a year, but it is impossible to say that he has not filled his pockets, these can't stand the scrutiny at all!
