The morning meeting stated the glory of last year and the strategic development goals for this year.
The afternoon meeting was about personnel adjustments that attracted everyone's attention. Those adjusters knew it well. They had received conversations with Li Yuhang or the group president/general manager a few days ago and asked for their opinions.
At the beginning of the meeting, Li Yuhang did not talk nonsense like he did in the morning, and went directly to the main topic. Dong Haiyan announced some personnel adjustments of the company.
"Su Wenbin, the general manager of the East China region of Jianan Supermarket Group, has been appointed as the vice president of the Jianan Supermarket Group and continues to serve as the general manager of the East China region, responsible for the affairs of the Jianan Supermarket Group in the East China region."
Su Wenbin was very excited about this promotion. He was the general manager of the market development department at the beginning, and Xiao Yunkai was the one who took over later.
Now Xiao Yunkai is already the executive vice president, and he is only the general manager of the group's East China region, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
Now he is finally the vice president. Although his status is not comparable to that of Xiao Yunkai, he will not become a joke to the group.
Moreover, he believed that the Jianan Department could not have the current industry and would definitely continue to expand in the future. When he had the opportunity to be transferred out and control a group on his own, his position in the Jianan Department would once again suppress Xiao Yunkai.
"I am very grateful to Mr. Li and the group for their trust in me. In the new year, I will definitely do a good job in the group's expansion in East China and make Jianan Supermarket one of the major retail companies in the retail market in East China."
After Su Wenbin finished speaking, Li Yuhang said with a smile: "President Su's achievements in East China last year are obvious to all, and this promotion to vice president of the group is the best recognition of his ability.
We are a young company, and we are all very young. The average age of the senior executives present is only in their twenties, and several senior executives, including me, are under 20.
As young icons, our company is full of vitality and fighting spirit. There is no hierarchy here based on seniority. As long as everyone has the ability, higher positions are always open to you."
As soon as Li Yuhang stopped speaking, the conference hall immediately burst into warm applause. The reason why most of the elites present chose to join the Jianan Department was because they did not want to enter a unit based on seniority, and they did not want to waste time in the office serving tea, reading newspapers and drinking tea.
Entering the Canaan system also realized their original ideal. The Canaan system expanded again and again, allowing these capable elites to quickly rise to high positions. They were thankful for the decision they made more than once.
After the venue became quiet, Dong Haiyan continued: "General Manager Xu Tingwei of Jianan Supermarket Group was transferred to Lingjiang Electrical Appliance Chain Company as the company's vice president to assist President Zheng Hongmao in the company's market development work."
Many senior executives present looked at Xu Tingwei, who was sitting in the back row, with envy in their eyes.
Many senior executives know about this person. When he held the position above Gan Shaohui, the general manager of IKEA convenience stores, at the first store of Jianan Supermarket, Li Yuhang was the store manager, and this is the deputy store manager. What he actually did was
Store manager's duties.
Times have changed and Jianan Supermarket has expanded rapidly. This person, who has been serving as the store manager of the Shunbei store and concurrently as the regional general manager of Guocheng City, has been promoted time and time again, but his position has never changed.
Similar to Su Wenbin, the general manager of the group's East China region generally has a 10-level management structure, while Su Wenbin presides over his affairs at level 12.
The regional general manager of a prefecture-level city like Guocheng only has a six-level structure, while Xu Tingwei is now as high as level 10 in Jianan Supermarket Group.
This time, he soared to the top, and was directly appointed as the vice president of Lingjiang Electrical Appliances Chain Company, becoming a level 13 manager, one level higher than Gan Shaohui, general manager of IKEA convenience stores.
The senior management present knew very well that Xu Tingwei had followed Li Yuhang since the start of the Jianan Supermarket Group and was deeply valued by Li Yuhang. The fact that he was sent to Lingjiang Electrical Appliance Chain Company this time meant far more than just work.
Zheng Hongmao behaved relatively calmly. Li Yuhang also communicated with him a few days ago. He had no objection to Xu Tingwei coming to the company to assist him in his work.
He knew that Li Yuhang attached great importance to the development of Lingjiang Electrical Appliance Chain Company. At first, Li Yuhang was prepared to take charge of the group himself. However, after considering some problems, Li Yuhang asked him to come and lead the company.
Now that the Lingjiang Electrical Appliance Chain Company is developing rapidly, Li Yuhang will definitely not let this company become a one-spoken company, let alone let this company escape his control, so he hired Xu Tingwei.
Later, Dong Haiyan also announced her position, resigning as the general manager of the administrative department of Jianan Agricultural Products Group and taking up the position of assistant office director of Li Yuhang.
In addition, Li Yuxin, director of the Review Office, Yao Yunfei, director of the Confidentiality Office, Tao Chengbo, director of the Legal Affairs Office, and Li Yuhang, director of the Intelligence and Governance Office, temporarily serve concurrently.
These directors currently hold thirteen-level positions, which are equivalent to vice presidents of major groups and are higher than some general managers in twelve-level structures.
In addition, Yang Tengyuan was transferred to the deputy general manager of IKEA convenience store to assist Gan Shaohui in his work.
Gan Jiaming will no longer concurrently serve as the general manager of the logistics department of Jianan Supermarket Group, and will be replaced by Lin Haolong.
As for the original positions of Dong Haiyan, Yao Yunfei and others, they were all taken over by deputies, which also reduced the gap period for the company's management.
Li Yuhang's adjustment this time is not large. Firstly, the major companies are expanding too fast and everyone lacks management. Secondly, he does not want cholera to occur in the management of major companies. Even if Xu Tingwei and Yang Tengyuan are transferred, both of them have rich experience.
For retail businesses, it’s not a big problem to go to another one.
The main adjustment this time is for management at level 10 and above. As for management at level 10 or above, each company has to accept its own fate and does not need to report it to Li Yuhang.
At the dinner that day, in addition to Li Yuhang and Li Chengze's family, the people who were promoted today became the focus of everyone's attention, especially Xu Tingwei, Yao Yunfei, Tao Chengbo and others.
There were also many high-level officials who toasted to Li Yuhang, but Li Yuhang controlled himself very well and kept it to himself and didn't drink much.
What makes Li Yuhang happy is that in this era, the domestic media are basically official. For a meeting like today, with the city's top officials saying hello, he is not worried that the news will spread.
Because of Li Yuhang's scruples, the annual meeting proposed by some senior executives was aborted. At least in the past few years, Li Yuhang will not hold any corporate annual meetings with great fanfare, and he will not let all his companies hold annual meetings together.
When private enterprises start to hold annual meetings in the future, he will let major companies hold their own annual meetings. At that time, he will only attend the annual meeting of Jianan Supermarket Group.
It is said that it is easier to conquer a country than to defend it. The same applies to business. How to defend one's assets has always been a question that Li Yuhang is thinking about.
He doesn't want to end up like Mou Qizhong, Huang Yuyu, Yi Mingshan and others in the future. He doesn't want the company he founded to be owned by others one day, and he doesn't want to abdicate early, and even the management rights of his properties don't belong to him.
In Li Yuhang's view, it is natural for children to inherit their father's business. He will never allow his children to be unable to take charge of their own business in the future.
