The next day.
Early in the morning.
Ma Yun left the house early.
However, Tang Qing did not accompany her. Yesterday was the opening ceremony and the main forum, which everyone had to attend. But for the next few days, there were various sub-forums, and participants could selectively attend based on the topics.
Therefore.
Tang Qing checked the schedule of the sub-forums. Most of them were unrelated to his business, and some topics were quite boring. He could only pick one to attend each day, and today’s agenda started in the afternoon.
"What shall we do in the morning?"
"Watch TV."
"Can you find an even more ’homebody’ project?"
"Lie down and watch TV."
"..."
Ten minutes later.
In the living room.
Ge Feng was watching the projection with great interest.
Indeed, it was all snow outside, so it’s better to watch TV in the villa. And speaking of which, this TV series is quite interesting. The Legend of Martial Arts? There must be a main story as well. Hmm, when I have time, I’ll watch it all at once.
...
For the next few days.
Staying at home.
Working.
Listening to speeches.
Attending banquets.
Tang Qing repeated these few similar activities every day, meeting different people. Sometimes, without putting in some effort, you wouldn’t know your own social limits. Tang Qing tried, and he then became famous.
A few days.
Proactively or passively.
Tang Qing nearly met all the big shots attending the conference, and collected a large stack of business cards.
He felt a bit of regret.
In the future, he probably couldn’t pretend not to recognize them; otherwise, it would hurt their feelings.
Forget it.
Knowing more people is always better than fewer. Many of them expressed a desire to support Tianyan’s business. Whether true or not, it still counted as drawing some business for the company.
...
"The five-day World Economic Forum Annual Meeting concluded on January 27th in Davos, Switzerland, with participants once again calling for unified action from countries to face the challenges posed by climate change."
"..."
"The precarious state of the United States economy became a focal point for all parties. Although there was disagreement among participants on whether the US economy was heading toward a recession, a consensus had been reached that a slowdown was under way."
"..."
"Given the United States’ position in the world, its economic slowdown cast a shadow over the global economic growth outlook."
"..."
"Participants generally believed that the global economy would slow down this year, but not to the extent of a recession. Emerging economies like Huaxia and India are still expected to perform well."
"..."
January 27th.
Afternoon.
In the midst of worries, the 37th Davos Forum closed.
There was clamor.
There were arguments.
There were heated debates.
But there were no agreements reached. However, at the very least, it was positive. When people come together to think and reflect on global issues, there will always be some effect.
Davos Airport.
Tang Qing sent off the Huaxia delegation.
He would also board a plane to return home tonight. Why not leave now? This was the arrangement by the organizing committee. Although Davos Airport is large, the runways are limited, and the number of airplanes waiting for takeoff exceeded two hundred eighty.
And this.
Was just on the ground.
Looking up, there were private jets continuously arriving to pick up their own bosses, circling and waiting for their turn to land. Since they had come by train, their plane was in Zurich; they would still have to wait for it to arrive.
...
Back to the villa.
"Boss Tang."
"Boss Tang."
"..."
The six people who were sitting on the sofa stood up hastily. It was Kuang Mao and the other Comet Group journalists. After their exclusive interview yesterday morning, Tang Qing had said they could follow him and take the private jet home.
And there they were.
Just checked out of the room.
Came here with the equipment on my back.
Have to say.
Our chairman really knows how to live it up. Others can only stay in Presidential Suites, but our own Boss has a standalone Villa to stay in, facing Lake Davos; so extravagant. And also, this tea is really delicious.
"Relax a bit, just do what you need to do. We’ll leave in an hour and a half." Tang Qing said with a smile.
"Okay, Director Tang."
Kuang Mao quickly nodded his head.
He only breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Tang Qing go upstairs.
"The chairman is so handsome."
The only girl among the six, and another female journalist, had stars in her eyes.
"Get to work. Hurry up with the drafts."
Kuang Mao glared at her. Your child is already three years old and you’re still moonstruck. Luckily the kid has grown up, otherwise she would definitely bring back a ton of milk powder, and the rest of us would have to act as ’porters’.
"Oh."
She uttered an ’oh’.
And sat back down on the sofa.
Started compiling.
In less than half an hour.
The draft of the closing ceremony was ready and sent back to the domestic headquarters, to be reviewed by the chief editor before being posted. Following that, she opened another document— "Personal Annual Work Summary Report".
She had already written over a hundred pages, verbose and detailed.
Once she finishes writing about Davos, it would basically be completed. Today is already the 20th of the last month of the lunar year, and the company demands submission the day after tomorrow. After submission, their group could start their vacation.
The weekend.
Annual leave.
Plus the statutory holidays of the Spring Festival.
A full twenty days.
She’s been saving up for this by not taking any days off for half a year.
The thought of a twenty-day holiday, including twelve days with pay, along with the impending annual bonus, made her type even faster. It’s equivalent to four months of wages, enough to cover the expenses of Chinese New Year.
Only.
When she thinks of the annual bonuses at other companies under Tang Qing.
She feels a bit gloomy.
Working for the same company, it’s clear that Comet Entertainment can’t possibly have the same annual bonus as them. And for Qingyuan Technology, their sales data from last year was off the charts, with rumors of their annual bonuses typically exceeding one hundred thousand.
Although not yet distributed.
The payroll backend allows viewing.
So it was leaked. Besides Qingyuan Technology, the most enviable is Tianyan. Their annual bonuses are also very substantial; there are heaps of people getting over a hundred thousand, and managers start at a million.
But.
She also admits it.
Their income is linked to the profits they create.
Making money.
The boss naturally gets a bigger share.
Although they work hard.
But as journalists, besides ensuring the timeliness of the platform’s news, they can’t really generate much economic profit, so from a management perspective, if you treat everyone equally, why would others keep striving?
...
Upstairs.
"Another Chinese New Year’s coming up, I really don’t like it," Ge Feng muttered.
"What’s wrong?"
"Not getting any New Year’s money, and I have to dole it out instead, it’s not fun."
"..."
Tang Qing wanted to kick Ge Feng. You’re almost in your thirties and you still want New Year’s money, have you no shame.
"By the way, Tang Qing, the news reported that you’re going to give out over a billion RMB in annual bonuses this year, is that true?" Ge Feng recalled the news he saw when Tang Qing was seeing off the delegation.
"Fake."
Tang Qing shook his head.
"I thought so..."
Before Ge Feng could finish, Tang Qing added: "At least two billion."
"..."
"Two billion?" Zeng Rou exclaimed in shock, that’s not even half of her entire assets.
Lin Jiaxue also looked over. Two billion, how is that possible.
"Can’t be, how could it be so much?" Ge Feng was somewhat disbelieving.
Tang Qing spread his hands.
"Haven’t you ever calculated how many companies I have under my flag? One billion is just from Qingyuan Technology, Comet Group, and Tianyan Group. The other companies add up to another ten billion or so."
