The following morning at 9 a.m., Wanqi Company held its first meeting of all middle and senior management personnel in the new year.

A message, no less significant than a minor earthquake, was announced at the meeting:

Lin Dong, who had been the chairman's assistant for less than half a month, was officially appointed as the general manager of Wanqi Trading Company.

Chairman Wan Qingshan, who originally served as general manager, relinquished his position and handed over full control of the company's business to Lin Dong.

...

The news immediately shattered the worldviews of more than 300 people in the company.

Who exactly is this Lin Dong? How did he get promoted so quickly?

Others struggle for years or even ten years to become department managers, but you, a newcomer to the company, have become second only to one person and above hundreds of others in less than half a month?

Isn't that faster than taking a rocket?

Is there no justice left? Is there no law left?

The vast majority of the company's employees were shocked and puzzled by this appointment decision; only three people welcomed it:

Two of them are naturally Wan Qingshan and Fan Gui.

The other one, of course, is the chubby Ma Baorong.

Even after the meeting ended, this guy was still completely bewildered, his mind filled with disbelief:

What does that mean? I accidentally polished a pair of shoes, and they all turned out perfectly?

The feeling of happiness came so suddenly that whatever Lin Dong said at the meeting seemed incredibly fantastical, no matter how he interpreted it.

The first thing General Manager Lin announced after taking office was to vigorously expand the charger business unit.

The existing three business departments will be expanded tenfold after the new year.

In addition, a brand planning department, a store expansion department, a marketing and promotion department, and a public relations department were newly established.

This series of elaborate maneuvers left Wanqi's middle and senior management completely bewildered.

It wasn't until Lin Dong spent a full 40 minutes giving this group a forward-thinking lesson on China's future economic analysis that things changed.

With the advantage of being a time traveler, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to fool a bunch of small fry who are half businessmen and half martial arts practitioners?

Wanqi's strategic goals for the next 10 years are:

With home appliance retail as its core business, the company is seizing opportunities in the north, expanding nationwide, and striving to become the largest home appliance retailer in China within two years.

In the next 10 to 15 years, two major sectors in China will be booming: real estate and electrical appliances.

The next 20 years will be the era of the internet, new energy, and high-tech chips.

Therefore, Lin Dong's highly forward-thinking strategy, though perhaps incomprehensible to many, is undoubtedly correct and ahead of its time.

In its previous life, Wanqi Group collapsed during a crackdown on smuggling. Therefore, it is necessary to change the overall business direction as soon as possible and withdraw from the electronics smuggling business.

Taking advantage of the fact that Huang Guangyu's Guoli Electric Appliances had not yet become a major player, they seized the opportunity as quickly as possible and rapidly established a nationwide home appliance chain market.

The "Wanqi Electric Appliances" brand, named by Lin Dong at the meeting, will surely become the most well-known home appliance retail chain brand in China in the future.

...

After the morning meeting, Lin Dong returned to his spacious general manager's office, where Xiao Lin, the company's newly assigned female secretary, handed him the keys to an Audi 100.

Although it's a company car, at least I have a means of transportation now, which will make getting around much more convenient.

At lunchtime, Wan Qingshan drove his black Mercedes-Benz with a tiger-head grille and left the company.

Lin Dong also made an excuse to slip out and secretly followed in his car.

Today, he must find out where Lao Wan has hidden his gold.

Lin Dong is very realistic. No matter how brilliant Wanqi's future is, it can't compare to the 100 million yuan in cash that he is about to receive.

...

Twenty-one-year-old Sun Jialu sat in a corner of the Marriott Villa sales office, silently shedding tears.

Just now, she received a call from her mother at the sales office. Her father, who is only 46 years old, has been diagnosed with uremia at the hospital.

Kidney transplantation is impractical. Not to mention the exorbitant surgery costs, the long wait for a kidney donor could kill a person.

Currently, the initial examinations and treatments, along with at least one hemodialysis session per week, have left the already impoverished family destitute.

Sun Jialu had only been working for a little over two months. After deducting rent and daily expenses, she had very little left from her salary and bonuses for the past two months.

She instructed her mother not to let her younger brother, who was studying at a university in Chongqing, know about this for the time being.

The collapse of the father, the pillar of the family, is a devastating blow to an ordinary family like Sun Jialu's.

"Xiao Lu, what are you doing hiding here? Quick, the manager is looking for you. That Boss Xiao is here again, probably targeting you."

Colleague Zhu Haiyan quickly walked over and, seeing the tear stains on Sun Jialu's face, said with concern:

"Xiaolu, are you alright? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

"I'm fine, thank you Haiyan."

Sun Jialu wiped away her tears, stood up and walked towards the manager's office. She was about to face two people she disliked again, but for the sake of life and money, she could only force a smile each time.

...

Lin Dong followed Wan Qingshan's Mercedes-Benz from a distance, and after half an hour, they finally arrived at the outskirts of the North District.

This is a newly developed villa area. On a hillside about 100 meters high, there are more than 100 European-style villas, nestled among the green trees on the hillside.

Below the hillside villa complex lies a large, shimmering artificial lake, whose stunning scenery cannot be concealed even in the cold winter.

This is the most famous upscale villa area in the North District: Marriott Villa.

Lin Dong watched as Wan Qingshan's car passed through the gate of the mountain resort and drove straight into the villa area.

Judging from the security guard's reaction at the gate, Mr. Wan must be a familiar face; he's probably a property owner in the resort.

Security personnel in upscale residential communities must memorize all residents' information and greet them politely when they enter or leave.
