354.
In the United States, in the headquarters building of Wal-Mart.
Zhang Xiaowu sat on the sofa with a straight face, although he looked impermanent, but he was really nervous in his heart, because he was about to meet Mr. Dolph, the president of Wal-Mart.
Zhang Xiaodong has been a long-time admirer of this important figure in the global business world, and he never thought that he Zhang Xiaodong would have the opportunity to meet Mr. Michio, but now that all this has become a reality, it seems a bit of a dream for him.
'Click......'
The office door was pushed open, and Mr. Michio, who was in his sixties, walked in, accompanied by his secretary and Will, the president of Walmart Asia.
Zhang Xiaodong hurriedly put down the coffee cup and stood up, while Daofu smiled at him very kindly and stretched out his hand and said, "Welcome, Zhang." ”
"Hello Mr. Michio, it's an honor to meet you, you've always been my idol." Zhang Xiaodong stretched out his hand and shook it with Daofu with some restraint.
Michio smiled and said, "Really? I'm so honored. ”
Pointing to the couch, Michio continued, "Please be seated." ”
Zhang Xiaodong nodded, and after Daofu sat down, he sat back in his place and looked at Daofu eagerly.
"You're a genius, Zhang. I deeply regret the unequal treatment you received in your previous company, but that is a thing of the past. Joining Walmart will be the smartest choice for you, and there is no room for you to make the most of your talents. ”
"A compliment from Mr. Michio Xiexie." Zhang Xiaodong said a little shyly, but it was difficult to hide the excitement between his eyebrows, and he was afraid that he would tremble with excitement if he could get such a high evaluation from Mr. Michio.
"Okay, I guess we should talk about your work next. You are a native of Huaxia and have personally created the most successful department store in China. Huaxia is your home field, you have an incomparable advantage, I am ready to let you be in charge of Wal-Mart's development work in Huaxia, what do you think? ”
Zhang Xiaodong actually knew his position for a long time, which was one of the conditions given by Walmart to woo him at the beginning, and now it is just formalizing all this.
"Mr. Astorf, it's an honor that Walmart values me so much. I am willing to accept the new job you have given me, and I am confident that I can do well. Zhang Xiaodong said confidently to Daofu.
Zhang Xiaodong is very familiar with the supermarket industry in China, and he has accumulated a lot of contacts during the time he has worked for Sunday. Although he knew very well that he was just a puppet placed by Mo Shaokun and Qin Qin in the foreground, others didn't know! In the eyes of many people, Zhang Xiaodong is the father of Huaxia supermarket, and he has a strong appeal in Huaxia's supermarket industry!
"What do you think of Walmart's development in China?" Daofu leaned on the sofa and asked, The speed of development of the Sunday Department Store even Michio was quite shocked, and Zhang Xiaodong must be a talent at this point. But anyway, he still has to take the test for Zhang Xiaodong, after all, only what he sees with his own eyes is real.
Zhang Xiaodong was slightly silent, and after a while, he raised his head and said: "At present, Sunday is the dominant company in the Huaxia supermarket industry, and it is difficult to beat Sunday. The only way to curb their growth and accelerate our expansion is to have any hope of winning. ”
"Oh? So how do you curb the pace of development on Sunday? As far as I know, Sunday has a good relationship with the Chinese government, and with the strong support of the government, it may be difficult to contain it. Daofu looked at Zhang Xiaodong with interest.
Zhang Xiaodong chuckled and said, "I think Mr. Daofu may have forgotten that I am one of the founders of Sunday, and I witnessed and even created the glory of Sunday with my own eyes, and I may be one of the people who know Sunday best on this shijie." ”
Daofu looked at Zhang Xiaodong with slightly squinted eyes, although Zhang Xiaodong didn't say it explicitly, he understood that Zhang Xiaodong must have mastered Sunday's shortcomings. As for why Zhang Xiaodong refused to say it explicitly, this is normal, and now that people haven't gotten the slightest benefit, they naturally won't blow up their hole cards. He's probably worried that Walmart will kick him away after the hole cards are revealed, and he won't be needed anymore, right? Hehe, what a smart man.
Thinking of this, Michio didn't continue to ask anything. So far, Zhang Xiaodong's performance has satisfied him, and he glanced at the secretary next to him, who took out a document from his briefcase and put it on the table.
"This is the contract we have prepared for you, Mr. Zhang can take a look, if there is no problem, just sign your name and you will become the president of Walmart China."
Zhang Xiaodong picked up the contract and looked at it, a faint smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth, the annual salary of five million US dollars is not higher than the salary of Sunday, or even slightly worse, after all, with the development of Sunday, the dividend of five percent will only increase.
But this is not what Zhang Xiaodong is concerned about, he is not short of money now, what he wants now is just a chance to prove himself! Moreover, it is clearly written in the contract that as long as he can meet the development goals set by the company, then he will also receive a large additional bonus.
In Zhang Xiaodong's view, Wal-Mart has given him a goal that occupies 15% of the market share of Huaxia's supermarket industry within one year, and makes Wal-Mart the most influential supermarket brand in Huaxia within three years!
Now Zhang Xiaodong is in a time of inflated self-confidence, he is familiar with the operation of Huaxia's supermarket industry, and more importantly, he knows Wal-Mart's biggest competitor in Huaxia, Sunday Department Store, so he believes that these goals are not difficult for him.
After reading it carefully, Zhang Xiaodong raised his head and said, "Mr. Dolph, there is nothing wrong with the contract, but I still want to add a little more." ”
"Oh? What are your requests to make? Michio shrugged.
"I need absolute decision-making power in Huaxia without going against the company's interests, and I don't want anyone to dictate my jihua and what I'm doing, which will make it difficult for me." Zhang Xiaodong stared at Daofu and said seriously, he left because he was dissatisfied that he had no right to speak on Sunday, and he didn't want to be constrained by other people after coming to Walmart and couldn't completely follow his own ideas.
Michio didn't speak, but Will on the side frowned slightly, as if he was a little unhappy. He is the president of Asia, Zhang Xiaodong's request is clearly to separate the Huaxia region from the scope of the Asian region, you must know that the Huaxia region is the top priority of Wal-Mart's future development, and it will also become a new growth point for Wal-Mart for a long time in the future, how can he let Zhang Xiaodong share such a big piece of cake alone?
"Zhang, I think this concern of yours is completely unnecessary, as long as your decision is correct, I believe that no one will interfere." Will Road.
Zhang Xiaodong glanced at Will and said with a smile: "What if my jihua is wrong in your eyes, but he is actually right, then what should I do?" ”
"This ...... I don't think that's going to happen. Will was dumbfounded, but he still said strongly.
"Mr. Will, nothing is impossible on this shijie."
The Daofu on the side didn't speak, and his eyes kept staring at Zhang Xiaodong, as if he was considering whether this person was trustworthy.
After a long time, he spoke: "Okay, Zhang, I can give you absolute rights, you only need to be responsible to me and the board of directors for the affairs of Wal-Mart Huaxia in the next three years, and I promise that no one else will interfere in the affairs of Huaxia." ”
In the end, Michio decided to take a gamble, the big cake of Huaxia was too tempting, but due to the strong rise of Sunday, Walmart has lost the most haode opportunity. If they still want to make a difference in Huaxia, then this young man in front of them is their only hope.
Zhang Xiaodong showed a smile on his face when he heard this, but Will on the other side had a slightly gloomy face, originally Zhang Xiaodong should have been his subordinate, but now he has become a figure on an equal footing with him, which is really unpleasant.
