Chapter 551: Not Worrying About Scarcity, But Worrying About Inequality

Not only were the parking spaces at the Dongling Gao Ke headquarters packed full today, but even the streets near the Dongling Gao Ke headquarters were filled with vehicles.

This scene only appeared during the year-end meeting last year. In the past, the senior executives of the Dongling Gao Ke headquarters couldn't stay at the headquarters every day. They basically flew all over the world in major domestic cities and even abroad to handle the affairs of various departments of Dongling Gao Ke.

But today, the managers and above of the Dongling Gao Ke headquarters all flew back to the headquarters. Today is the first meeting after Li Dongling returned to Pingyang. No headquarters executive dared to miss it, giving Li Dongling eye drops, making Li Dongling wonder if someone wanted to engage in confrontation within Dongling Gao Ke.

"Director Li!"

When Li Dongling arrived at the headquarters, Su Chicheng, Li Dongling's chief assistant, was waiting there with several staff members from the assistant department who had already been waiting. "Manager Ren, Manager Hu, and the managers of various departments have all arrived at the conference room!"

Nodding, Li Dongling looked at Su Chicheng, patted him on the shoulder, and said to him, "You've worked hard during this time!"

This time, Su Chicheng did not accompany Li Dongling to America but stayed at the Dongling Gao Ke headquarters to handle some affairs.

Everyone knows whose person Su Chicheng is. As long as he is still in Dongling Gao Ke, he naturally carries the label of Li Dongling's confidant and cannot change his allegiance at all.

With Su Chicheng here, even if Li Dongling is not in Dongling Gao Ke, there will be no isolation between the inside and outside regarding the affairs of the headquarters.

This is not distrusting Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, and others who are currently in power in Dongling Gao Ke, but the necessary means must still be done. It is also to be on the safe side. It is always better than a situation where a situation really occurs and the face is torn.

Li Dongling doesn't want to play the means of "killing the dog when the rabbit is dead." Many companies have had scenes of founders and veteran factions and senior managers fighting for power. Li Dongling doesn't want that scene to happen within Dongling Gao Ke.

He still hopes that in the future, Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, Zhang Ao, Gao Peng, and others can have a good beginning and a good end with the Li family. After retirement, they can still go fishing in the Yuhe Leisure Resort together, instead of becoming enemies and then tearing each other apart in the media.

But for Su Chicheng, during this period, his days in Dongling Gao Ke were not easy. Everyone knew that during this period, he acted as Li Dongling's "eyes and ears," equivalent to the Embroidered Uniform Guard of ancient times, reporting the situation of the Dongling Gao Ke headquarters and various branches to Li Dongling.

No one knew whether Su Chicheng would take the opportunity to report some black materials. This led to the attitude of the senior executives of the Dongling Gao Ke headquarters toward Su Chicheng during this period being to keep him at a distance. This is a better way of saying it. To put it bluntly, it is annoying, for fear that Su Chicheng would stab some broken things related to himself to Li Dongling.

Su Chicheng smiled helplessly, but he also knew that Li Dongling put him in this position, and he always had to do things. It was impossible to let him be a mascot.

During this period, Su Chicheng represented Li Dongling to a certain extent. This increased his power in Dongling Gao Ke by a large margin. Ren Yuefeng and Hu Zixian also needed to discuss some things with Su Chicheng.

Li Dongling walked toward the Dongling Gao Ke headquarters. It was still the familiar facilities, but after not coming for a period of time, Li Dongling saw some new faces and unfamiliar faces in the Dongling Gao Ke headquarters.

Staff who joined the Dongling Gao Ke headquarters, as long as they have ability, are easily discovered, and the promotion speed is very fast. In addition, Dongling Gao Ke is constantly expanding branch companies. After these staff members who stand out are transferred out, it is very easy to be promoted.

If they are willing to go to overseas companies, the promotion speed will be faster, and the salary will be much higher than in the country.

But whether in domestic branch companies or overseas branch companies, it is easy to go out, but it is not so easy to be transferred back to the headquarters. Quite a few Dongling Gao Ke headquarters staff don't really want to be transferred out. After all, in terms of opportunities, there are definitely more at the headquarters. It is easy to be an official in front of the emperor, and if you make some achievements, you can reach the heaven.

"Which department do you want to go to, stay at the headquarters or go to other places?"

When going upstairs, Li Dongling asked Su Chicheng, which made Su Chicheng clearly stunned.

As Li Dongling's chief assistant, Su Chicheng will sooner or later be transferred to other departments. No matter how heavy the power of the assistant department is, the position is there. If you want to become a real senior executive, you must be transferred to other departments.

Su Chicheng fell into thought for a while. With his background, leaving the assistant department, if he goes to other places, it is not difficult to serve as the deputy general manager of Dongling Gao Ke in a certain province and become a regular after a year or two.

If he stays at the headquarters, serving as the deputy manager of a certain department or serving as a senior executive of a company under Dongling Gao Ke is not difficult.

Seeing that Su Chicheng seemed to be still in thought, Li Dongling mentioned a point to him. "Budget Audit Committee, are you interested?"

Hearing this department, Su Chicheng's face suddenly turned into a bitter melon. He felt that Li Dongling wanted him to become a "lonely minister" of Dongling Gao Ke.

The status of this department in Dongling Gao Ke has become higher and higher since its establishment. The budgets of various departments, branch companies, and major projects of Dongling Gao Ke need to be approved by the Budget Audit Committee every year before they can get funds.

This is one of the most powerful departments in Dongling Gao Ke. Of course, it is also the most criticized. It has always been "not worrying about scarcity, but worrying about inequality." Various departments of Dongling Gao Ke, who doesn't want to get more funds?

This led to the Budget Audit Committee having great power, but it was also the most scolded. The person in charge of this department can only rely on the support of Li Dongling and the board of directors within Dongling Gao Ke.

It doesn't have a good relationship with other departments, and only a lonely minister who is selfless and doesn't care about feelings can sit firmly in this position. If he is biased toward which department, he will be rumored to be forming a party for private interests, and he will be kicked out in three days.

"I..."

Su Chicheng knew this was an opportunity. Sitting in the position of the head of the Budget Audit Committee, he would become another powerful figure in Dongling Gao Ke, but he might also flip over.

Just before reaching the door of the conference room, Su Chicheng took a deep breath. Su Chicheng said to Li Dongling, "Director Li and the board of directors need me to go to which department, I will go to which department, and I will never live up to the expectations of the board of directors!"

Li Dongling stopped and nodded to Su Chicheng. "Today, I will propose that you first enter the Budget Audit Committee and be a deputy to Old Hu!"

Now the head of the Budget Audit Committee is concurrently held by Hu Zixian. After Su Chicheng enters, he will be a deputy to Hu Zixian. After he is familiar with the Budget Audit Committee, he will take over this department.

Inside the Dongling Gao Ke headquarters conference room, it was basically full at this moment. The heads of the most important departments of Dongling Gao Ke, General Manager Ren Yuefeng, Financial Director and head of the Budget Audit Committee Hu Zixian, Marketing Department General Manager Zhang Ao, Technical Department Chen Tao, Production Department Manager Duan Youli, Logistics Department Gao Peng, Legal Department Manager, and several department managers, including branch company supervisors, were all sitting inside.

"Flying Goose Technology, I heard it's going public on NASDAQ at the end of the year?"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the conference room was very hot. What was discussed most was still Flying Goose Technology going public, which was related to the net worth of a group of Dongling Gao Ke senior executives.

Like Ren Yuefeng, Zhang Ao, Hu Zixian, and others, they all received the option rewards of Flying Goose Technology during the year-end meeting last year. Once Flying Goose Technology goes public, their net worth will also skyrocket. Becoming a multi-millionaire or even a billionaire is not something that cannot be expected.

"In two months, in November this year, Flying Goose Technology will start a global roadshow and complete the listing in December!"

Ren Yuefeng also had a smile on his face and said to Hu Zixian and Zhang Ao sitting on the left and right.

Gao Peng also said at this time, "Director Li has brought back quite a few big projects from America this time!"

Mentioning this, Hu Zixian, who manages the money bag, began to worry. "They are also big projects that burn money. Just a Dongxin chip production base, the cost is..."

The news that Dongxin Semiconductor started to build an 8-inch wafer factory had been reported to the headquarters. That construction cost of more than 400 million US dollars made Hu Zixian's teeth sour.

"There are other projects. That digital video equipment and internet set-top box are quite innovative. Projects proposed by Director Li have never missed a shot!" Technical Department Manager Chen Tao also said.

While Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, and others were discussing, the conference room door was pushed open. Seeing Li Dongling who came in, everyone in the conference room stood up at once, looking at Li Dongling with burning eyes.

This trip of Li Dongling to America can be said to have turned the bragging he had done before into reality.

When Dongling Gao Ke bought the Flying Goose brand back then, no one could have thought that this brand could be set up again, and no one could have thought that it could become a well-known brand in Hanxi, or even a well-known trademark in the country. Now it is about to become the first technology company in Hanxi and even the inland to land on NASDAQ. Flying Goose has set too many new records.

After Li Dongling sat down in the main seat, he pressed his hand to let everyone sit down. "During this period, everyone has worked hard. Everything everyone has done, Dongling Gao Ke will not forget!"

"In the first half of this year, Dongling Gao Ke's performance met expectations. The overall business in the first half of the year increased by 27%, and the overall revenue exceeded 4.2 billion US dollars, but the profit increased by 44%, mainly due to the production costs of products such as PHS mobile phones and Shenzhou U disks being further reduced.

Revenue in the third quarter may further increase, but there are also some risks. The competition in the domestic PHS mobile phone market is already quite fierce, and price wars between major brands are constant, and profits continue to decline.

Dongling Gao Ke's PHS mobile phones are currently growing rapidly mainly in overseas markets. Sales in Brazil, Colombia, Siam, and other places have generally increased by more than 50% or even doubled..."

As the general manager, Ren Yuefeng took the lead in reporting the current situation of Dongling Gao Ke. The biggest change is the PHS mobile phone. If it weren't for Li Dongling's insistence on opening up overseas markets last year, it is estimated that Dongling Gao Ke would also be caught in a mobile phone price war now.
