Chapter 860: Chapter 746 Annual Bonus (Please Subscribe!)
With the duet between Tang Qing and Liu "Uranus" completed,
the Annual Meeting was also drawing to a close.
Following a speech of ultimate praise by Zong Wen,
Tang Qing slowly stepped onto the stage.
The people below looked up at Tang Qing with eagerness in their eyes. If their admiration for Tang Qing previously stemmed from his capital and wealth, now they revered him for his artistic talent.
His rendition of "Chinese People" made them feel as though the original artist paled in comparison, a profound shock to the soul.
Such a boss,
simply made the female employees beneath him head over heels.
They cherished their current jobs even more, not asking for anything else, for working under such a person was a joy in itself.
"This Annual Meeting is drawing to a close. I want to say thank you to all the employees who are here today and those who couldn’t make it. Without your hard work and dedication, the company would not be where it is today. I once thought, what if..." Tang Qing effortlessly threw in the standard phrases, thanking everyone present.
This wasn’t gratuitous thanks, as each group of people or individual was linked to stories and a whole lot of other things, but it was precisely because of this that everyone felt the sincerity.
Clichés indeed win hearts.
Tang Qing had slowly come to truly understand this.
"Regarding everyone’s efforts, I see them, and I believe the Annual Bonuses I am providing will not disappoint anyone. The bonuses for employees from each company will be announced one after another starting from tomorrow. Now, I want to announce the Annual Bonuses for the CEOs of the companies and also distribute a few personal rewards."
Upon hearing this, the crowd below was re-energized.
There were personal rewards, certainly different from the company’s annual bonuses.
There was a pause.
With a smile, Tang Qing continued, "First, is Sheng Tang Group. As we have the most employees here, everyone is aware of Yang Kai’s capabilities and contributions, as am I. Therefore, I’ve decided to grant Manager Yang Kai an Annual Bonus of 3.6 million RMB and a Cadillac luxury passenger car."
"Oh..."
"Over three hundred million RMB."
"That’s a lot."
"Nonsense, the man is the Group CEO."
"..."
The crowd sighed in awe.
Yang Kai also got excited down below.
His efforts had paid off, and compared to last year’s bonus, this year’s was more than ten times greater. You should know, with Sheng Tang Group’s growth, his annual salary had also risen significantly—to two million RMB, decided by Tang Qing.
Together with the annual bonus and benefits,
it meant he had earned over six million RMB this year.
This was without the Group distributing profits. As the CEO, although he did not own shares, he was entitled to a management profit-sharing of one percent, similar to the other vice presidents.
Probably because there were no shareholder dividends this year, Tang Qing had increased the reward substantially.
Just as Yang Kai had thought, Tang Qing had indeed done this because there were no dividends for shareholders this year, and therefore, no management bonuses either, so he increased Yang Kai’s Annual Bonus.
Half a minute later,
waiting for the gymnasium to settle down,
Tang Qing did not call Yang Kai to come up and give a speech.
There wasn’t much to say.
Thanking back and forth was pointless; it was treated more like an announcement.
He went on, "The second one is Tianyan Group, which I established as my second company, and I think everyone is familiar with it because their services are connected to everyone here.
In the beginning, I only planned to use Tianyan for business consultancy services exclusive to my subsidiaries, but as we grew, Tianyan’s role changed and it became a limited external service provider.
Tianyan’s unique regulatory model has earned the high recognition and appreciation of all our clients. All employees of Tianyan have played an indispensable role in this. Given Tianyan’s special functions, there may have been possibilities of clashing with the interests of companies, departments, or individuals.
You have faced threats, intimidation, and even retaliation, but you have nonetheless persisted in your professional ethics, and I am gratified. To date, not a single case of collusion between Tianyan employees and regulated companies to harm corporate interests has occurred.
I hope the employees of Tianyan will always adhere to their responsibilities: creating value for customers, which is the core philosophy of Tianyan, and I hope you will keep it in heart. Here, I’ve decided to award President Dou Jiao of Tianyan Group an incentive of 1.5 million RMB, along with a Cadillac luxury passenger car."
"Clap, clap, clap..."
With Tianyan employees leading, applause rose again in the hall.
Dou Jiao was thrilled, not so much for the money—money was not something she cared about much—but for the affirmation that it represented. This year-end bonus was not a surprise to her as the profits of Tianyan were indeed not as high as Sheng Tang Group’s.
One and a half million,
was already quite a sum.
Tang Qing smiled and said, "The third person is Gao Ming, General Manager of Zhongyu Special Guard Security Company. Those here must be familiar with this company, as all security guards for my subsidiary companies come from there and we’ve had quite a long cooperation.
Furthermore, Zhongyu has expanded its operations overseas with help from some good friends—branches have opened in Myanmar, Thailand, and certain countries in Africa with our security employees present.
The number of employees working overseas has exceeded six hundred, roughly equal to those domestically. Next year, we expect another peak in growth, and this year, I’m awarding General Manager Gao Ming a bonus of precisely one million RMB and a high-end Chevrolet SUV."
