Chapter 261 World Championship Champion?
At this time, Chen Jiandao said: "Dong Zhao, Mr. Lin, Goldman Sachs recently contacted us and said that it is willing to help us list in the United States."
"Goldman Sachs? What's your opinion?" Zhao Dong asked.
"We can consider cooperation, which can speed up the listing process in the United States." Chen Jian said with a smile.
"Mr. Chen, do you think that all company executives, including those who have just joined the company, are eligible to participate in equity incentives?"
Zhao Dong suddenly asked.
Chen Jian thought for a moment and looked at Zhao Dong's face, but couldn't see anything.
Zhao Dong's words sent a signal that he did not agree with his opinion.
He knew very well the reason why the company had developed so well since its establishment one year ago: Zhao Dong's influence.
According to his own understanding, the company currently does not need equity incentives at all.
But he had to push this matter forward, because if he didn't push it, he would even lose the support of all senior executives.
Equity incentives are too tempting for executives. It means giving them money. Once implemented, they will have more say in the company. Therefore, as soon as it was proposed, within ten days, almost all executives Everyone expressed support, how could he dare to go against everyone's will and go it alone?
"Mr. Chen, please inform me that there will be a meeting in one hour and all senior executives in Beijing will attend." After talking for a while, Zhao Dong asked Chen Jian to leave.
"Aiweier, do you think Chen Jian's push to go public in the United States is motivated by publicity or selfishness? Or is he influenced by others?" Zhao Dong asked.
Lindsay blinked and shook her head in confusion.
She is very smart, but she is too young and has too little experience, so she still cannot see clearly into people's hearts.
"well!"
Chen Jian left Zhao Dong's office, feeling a little uneasy and wondering what Zhao Dong would do.
An hour later, the meeting was held, with a total of eleven executives attending.
From the beginning of the meeting, the atmosphere was tense and dull.
It was the first time for many senior executives to see Zhao Dong in person, but their expressions did not seem to be the normal attitude of employees when they saw their boss.
Because they know very well that in today's domestic environment, if they follow the equity incentives offered internationally, they are riding on the boss's head and taking money from his pocket.
Zhao Dacheng also participated in the meeting as a director and the company's security director. He didn't know what his brother would do today, so he felt a little nervous.
These days, he has contacted all the senior executives, and everyone supports listing in the United States. As a small boss, he has been isolated in the company and has become a minority. He is frustrated and angry, waiting for his brother to come back to clean up the situation.
"Snatch..."
Zhao Dong knocked on the table twice. After everyone looked over, he said, "Is anyone opposed to the listing?"
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything.
"Is anyone opposed to the equity incentive system?" Zhao Dong asked again.
Still no one spoke.
After taking a closer look at everyone, Zhao Dong fell silent.
Judging from the attitudes of these people, he couldn't imagine that once it was listed in the United States, who would be willing to listen to his words in the company, and they would definitely be ignored.
He was now certain that there must be someone behind some of these people.
"Let's dismiss the meeting first."
After confirming everyone's attitude in person, there was nothing to talk about. Zhao Dong waved his hand and motioned for everyone to leave first.
"Old Wang, what do you think he will do?"
"How to do it? He dares to fire all of us? Is the company going to stop operating?"
"Maybe a few will be opened to scare the monkeys."
"We have agreed that if he fires any one of us, we will all resign. Don't be traitors. This involves the interests of all our executives. We must hold on."
After the executives left, they immediately gathered together to analyze Zhao Dong's attitude.
Huang Zhiwen looked at these colleagues and suddenly said: "You guys talk first, I have something urgent over there, let's deal with it first."
"Do you think Huang Zhiwen will betray us?"
"No way, he has never been against us."
"What's the point of opposing it alone? As long as we persist, the boss will definitely give in. Anyway, the boss will benefit the most from going public in the United States. He can cash out a large amount, and we can make a small amount of money."
After Huang Zhiwen left, a group of executives started talking.
"Brother, these are just a bunch of wolf cubs. What are you going to do?" Zhao Dacheng asked hurriedly after the executives left.
"It's all fired." Zhao Dong said coldly.
"What should the company do?" Zhao Dacheng asked anxiously.
"What can we do? If the middle-level backbone doesn't move, and if it gets a little busy at most, can it still go bankrupt?" Zhao Dong said with a smile.
"That's true." Zhao Dacheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Husband, the backbone of the middle-level staff are all their subordinates. If the top executives are fired, the middle-level management will probably be in chaos," Lindsay reminded.
"Don't worry, just win over the differences. If you fire the top managers, promote some of them from the middle-level. If there are middle-level managers who make trouble, fire some more and promote some of their subordinates. It's just interests. People are selfish. Don't Think of the relationship between these executives and their subordinates as good." Zhao Dong said with a smile.
The three of them were discussing things when Huang Zhiwen suddenly came up to them.
"Minister Huang, why didn't you stay with them and confess to me?" Zhao Dong asked in surprise.
Huang Zhiwen just told him that some executives encouraged him to support Feilong Sports' listing in the United States, and if it succeeded, they would support him as the company's vice president.
"Director Zhao, the company's competition in North America is very fierce. I'm sure that Nike and Adidas are behind this incident. I have suffered losses in the United States and I don't trust them." Huang Zhiwen said.
Zhao Dong smiled. He didn't care what Huang Zhiwen's reasons were, as long as he stood by his side.
Huang Zhiwen is the director of the sales department at the company's headquarters and is in charge of all sales. Currently, the company's sales are the main job, and other technical departments are just getting started. Even if all departments are laid off, it doesn't matter. Reconstruction is easy.
"Can your men control it?" he asked.
"No problem, I personally recruited the sales department."
Huang Zhiwen perked up. From Zhao Dong's words, he could tell that Zhao Dong was likely to take action against those people. His choice was indeed the right one.
He never wanted to stand with those executives, because in his opinion, those executives had no chance of winning and were just blinded by benefits.
"Can Chen Jian be trusted?" Zhao Dong suddenly asked.
Huang Zhiwen was startled, thought for a while and said: "I think Mr. Chen is just helpless. If he does not support the senior executives, his orders will not leave the general manager's office, and all senior executives will obey him and disobey him.
Moreover, he manages all affairs of the company. This kind of status and power is not even given to him by Nike and Adidas. There is no motive to betray Director Zhao at all. "
"Okay, I understand." Zhao Dong smiled.
If he didn't take the opportunity to kick Chen Jian, Huang Zhiwen could still be used.
After Huang Zhiwen left, Zhao Dong said: "Chen Jian still needs to be replaced. This person's position is not firm enough. We control 100% of the equity, but he actually chose to stand with the senior executives in order to secure his position as general manager. This is extremely Stupid choices."
"When?" Lindsay asked.
"Right now." Zhao Dong smiled.
"Now?" Zhao Dacheng was surprised.
"I have already identified a group of people before I come back. Brother, you don't have to worry about the company getting into trouble." Zhao Dong said with a smile.
"It turns out you are well prepared, but I am still worried." Zhao Dacheng breathed a sigh of relief.
"You know that the company has problems, how can you prepare? In this world, there are not many things, but there are still enough people. There are many people to replace these senior executives, and they are not irreplaceable talents. Ordinary managers That’s all, do you really think you are a treasure?” Zhao Dong smiled.
Next, Feilong Sports, which had been established just one year ago, underwent a major purge of senior management.
Zhao Dong first killed the chicken to scare the monkeys, fired a senior executive, and then triggered the resignation of all senior executives. Then, there was no more, he decisively approved all resignation reports.
"boss?"
Seeing Zhao Dong doing this, Chen Jian was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and didn't know what to do.
"Chen Jian, you have the ability, but you have no position. I can't keep you. But I will give you a face. You can submit your resignation letter yourself and leave with dignity. Don't let me fire you." Zhao Dong said.
"Ming, I understand, thank you boss."
Chen Jian left Feilong Sports in frustration.
"Mr. Huang, from now on, you will be promoted to the general manager of the company and the sales department will be handed over. What do you think?" Zhao Dong said to Huang Zhiwen.
"Thank you, boss. I will hand it over to the sales department immediately." Huang Zhiwen said in surprise.
"OK."
Zhao Dong smiled and said: "Your ability is pretty good, not weaker than Chen Jian, but a little radical. You are good at listening and speaking, and you dare to take risks.
But we are not an Internet company, nor is it a new field, so you have to control your own pace and have a more prudent management style. "
"I know, boss." Huang Zhiwen smiled.
Zhao Dong thought for a while and then said: "It's not that I don't want to engage in equity incentive systems like foreign ones, but do you think those management teams are qualified?
The technology is mine, the funds are mine, and the company develops based on my influence. If you just develop step by step, you will never get extra rewards from me. Of course, I can promise that if you have good development, you will not have no chance.
For example, it can develop shoes for other sports, especially football shoes, from Silver Devil's thousands of patented technologies, or it can open up the European market and develop the company into a giant in this industry, etc. "
"Boss, we will work hard." Huang Zhiwen nodded heavily.
Zhao Dong added: "There is one more thing. You said it yourself. There are people behind this matter. In addition to senior executives, our middle-level managers may also have been infiltrated by others. There is also the R&D department. You go and find out. Clean it again.”
"Okay, boss, I'll start processing it right away." Huang Zhiwen said.
After settling Feilong Sports, Zhao Dong and Lindsay went to Julong Venture Capital.
The situation here is not as complicated as Feilong Sports. This area is still blank in China. It is all done by foreign capital through Hong Kong channels. Julong Venture Capital has developed well and is the leader in this industry in China. Investment projects are automatically delivered to your door. There are so many.
What happened at the Feilong Sports headquarters was immediately reflected in the United States. Adidas, Nike, and Reebok, several major brand companies, all received the news.
"The plan failed again. Feilong was really courageous and fired all the executives directly." Nike President Philip Nike shook his head and sighed.
He bought a total of three Feilong Sports executives, plus some middle-level backbones and a few technical staff, adding up to nearly 20 people. However, this purge made all the money he spent in vain.
He figured Adidas and Reebok had the same plan, and now they all failed.
Before that, another of his plans also failed before the playoffs started.
Fortunately, the plan was too secretive and was not exposed, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.
On June 29, Zhao Dong came to Dongcheng Training Base, which is the original Dongcheng Club.
Now this place no longer has a fitness club for ordinary people, but has been transformed into a national team training base, and it is the most popular strength training base for the national team.
Only strength training is done here, including physical rehabilitation training. The technology and equipment are the highest in the country and world-class.
However, the place is too small and there are few trainers. Each event can only be trained in turns. The trainers will make plans and then train here for a few days before training on their own.
Because this has become the most popular training base for the national team, many reporters stay here all year round. As soon as Zhao Dong arrived, he was immediately surrounded by reporters.
"Feilong, the men's basketball roster has not been announced yet, will you play in this World Championship?"
"Of course we have to play. The NBA is a personal professional honor, and the World Championships is a national honor. How could we not play?"
"The roster of the US team has not been released yet. Feilong, do you understand the situation?"
"The NBA is likely to be suspended. NBA players are having a headache about this matter, so it is difficult to produce the list of the US team."
After answering a few questions, he was allowed in.
"Wow, Zhao Dong, superstar, I finally see you!"
"Hello, Brother Dong."
As soon as Zhao Dong entered, he met many athletes from the national team, including those from the gymnastics team and the diving team, and they all greeted him.
"Is it your turn for your project today?" Zhao Dong asked with a smile.
After chatting with Xiong Ni and Li Xiaopeng, he went to the men's basketball team.
The men's basketball team doesn't have to rotate and can come every day, which is a huge advantage. Zhao Dong heard that other sports have problems with the men's basketball team.
When he arrived at the men's basketball team, there were all acquaintances, and Liu Yumin came here specially to wait for him today.
In this World Championships, the men's basketball head coach is Jiang Xiquan, and the tentative members are Zhao Dong, Da Zhi, Bart, Li Xiaoyong, Guo Shiqiang, Sun Jun, Zhang Jinsong, Hu Weidong, Zheng Wu, Liu Yudong, Li Nan, and Gong Xiaobing.
However, the list has not yet been announced, and the big list has not been finalized. Liu Yumin said that he would wait until Zhao Dong comes back.
The specific meaning is that Liu Yumin wants to ask about Dayao's situation to see if he can be recruited.
"Zhao Dong."
Hu Weidong and Zhao Dong came back together. They went home and came to report yesterday.
"Brother Dong."
Da Zhi just came back yesterday and came to report today.
"Eh."
Zhao Dong nodded and greeted the others: "Director Liu, Director Jiang..."
"Is the contract signed?"
After greeting him, Zhao Dong turned around and asked about Da Zhi's situation.
"Signed, 3+1, team option, the total amount is close to 4 million." Da Zhi said with a smile.
Zhao Dong nodded. It was good to be able to get such a contract at the end of the first round. The Bulls did not treat Da Da badly in this regard.
Next, he discussed Dayao's affairs with Liu Yumin and Jiang Xiquan.
Zhao Dongdao: "Before talking about Dayao, let's talk about Hu Weidong. Brother Hu played for a season and hundreds of games. The intensity is not comparable to the domestic leagues. The physical consumption is very high. He can match the CBA for several seasons. My suggestion Yes, he plays in key games. Like warm-up matches, non-key games in the group stage, there is no need for him."
There are still quite a lot of talents in the current national team, and there is no shortage of people. Liu Yumin and Jiang Xiquan both agreed.
"As for Dayao, he can come in now with his current strength, but I don't think it's the best time. We have no shortage of people inside now, how about letting him come in at the next Olympics? By then he will definitely be able to reach the level of a professional player. And it’s a top-notch NBA insider." Zhao Dong suggested.
"That's okay. With you, Bart, Da Zhi, Gong Xiaobing, and Liu Yudong this year, there is indeed no shortage of people on the inside." Jiang Xinsong said.
Liu Yumin smiled and said: "Zhao Dong, I heard from Da Zhi and Xiao Hu, do you think we should do something this year?"
Zhao Dong laughed and said with a smile: "I was talking about this when we were chatting. What I meant was that the NBA might be suspended this time..."
"Stop?" Liu Yumin asked doubtfully.
Zhao Dong explained: "The labor negotiations have not reached a conclusion yet and are stuck there. If the solution cannot be resolved before the trading window opens on July 1st, it will be officially suspended.
By then, all NBA stars may refuse to play in the World Championships, and the U.S. team can only rely on college students and some people who play in Europe to form the national team, which is not a dream team.
If we do a good job, it is possible to get a sign. "
"Top three?" Liu Yumin and Jiang Xinquan's hearts jumped.
The Chinese women's basketball team is okay, runner-up in the 1992 Olympics and runner-up in the 1994 World Championships, but the best thing about the men's basketball team is eighth. If you want to be in the top three and break into the group stage, you have to survive at least two rounds of knockout rounds.
At this time, Zhao Dong said another sentence, which made the two of them open their mouths.
Zhao Dong smiled and said: "If you play well, it is possible to directly compete for the championship. It is not impossible."
"Is it possible?" Liu Yumin asked blankly.
If she really wins the World Championships, even if she doesn't have a dream team and the gold content is not enough, a champion is a champion. With this championship, she can be the only one in basketball without the constraints of the academy.
