Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 352 National Day Holiday
Before we knew it, September was almost over and the National Day holiday was approaching. As the last short holiday of 2015, Zhou Dongsheng could feel the restlessness filling the company.
This also made Zhou Dongsheng smile knowingly. Isn’t the joy and yearning for holidays the most simple and unpretentious needs of working people?
Zhou Dongsheng is not an unscrupulous and black-hearted capitalist. He even wants to give some benefits to all his hard-working colleagues.
After all, the success of Little People Media is due not only to myself but also to all my colleagues, right? (Funny)
So, at the end of September, Zhou Dongsheng called Xu Kaidao to his office.
Zhou Dongsheng is not one to engage in empty talk. He knows best that it is better to give a huge sum of money than to ask about someone's well-being.
After all, it is difficult to satisfy everyone, and the gifts you give may not suit everyone's taste. It is better to just give money directly.
"It has been almost a year since Xiaorenren Media was founded. Although it has been a short time, our company has also achieved a lot of good results. This is of course inseparable from your leadership, Old Xu, and the hard work of all employees..."
Zhou Dongsheng told the story slowly and Xu Kaidao, who was sitting opposite him, was beaming with joy. The feeling of having his efforts recognized made him feel very fulfilled, as if his efforts had not been in vain.
Xu Kaidao waved his hands repeatedly, "I dare not take credit for this, Boss. I am just implementing your wise decision. It can't really be called a contribution. I feel unworthy of it!"
"Since you said so, then let's cut your salary in half starting next month." Zhou Dongsheng joked lightly.
Xu Kaidao's smile froze, and he observed Zhou Dongsheng's expressions. Even though he saw the teasing smile on Zhou Dongsheng's face, he still couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"Okay, no more jokes. The National Day holiday is coming, and it also happens to be the company's first anniversary. I'm thinking of giving everyone some benefits. Let's raise all salaries by 10%. This month's bonus will be doubled and paid in advance so that everyone can spend a comfortable National Day holiday. What do you think?"
Although Zhou Dongsheng has only a vague understanding of company management and prefers to be a hands-off boss, there is no need to worry too much as long as Zhou Dongsheng holds the power of life and death over the company.
No matter how low the sense of presence is, as long as money is given, people will still support it.
"I think it's okay. The company currently has sufficient funds on its books. I will announce the boss's decision in a moment. I'm sure everyone will be very happy. After all, there are very few people as generous as the boss..."
Xu Kaidao was halfway through praising Zhou Dongsheng when his cell phone rang.
"Then go down and inform the employees." Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand to signal Xu Kaidao to go down, and Xu Kaidao also stopped talking decisively. It would not be too late to flatter next time.
I picked up the phone and saw that it was my mother calling.
"Hello, Dongsheng, the National Day holiday is coming soon, are you going home?" As soon as the phone was connected, the old mother's concerned voice rang out, revealing a hint of longing in her words.
Today, Zhou Dongsheng has achieved initial financial freedom, and he is never stingy in taking care of his elderly mother at home.
However, my old mother, who has been busy for most of her life, is suddenly unemployed and can't stay idle after all. Fortunately, she has many old sisters and relatives and friends in her hometown, so her retirement life is still enjoyable.
However, no matter how good and close outsiders are, they are not as close as family members, and we will miss them no less.
Although Zhou Dongsheng is now in his early twenties, he is no longer a reckless young man who does not understand the ways of the world.
"Mom, I'll be back in the evening. I was planning to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect that we were so in tune with each other and thought of the same thing in advance."
Zhou Dongsheng spoke eloquently and made his old mother smile with just a few words.
"You little rascal, save this skill for coaxing girls. It's useless to coax your mother. You'll be back in the evening, right? Then I have to buy some vegetables..." Ms. Liu Huaiying said naggingly.
"Okay, I miss my mom's cooking so much. In my opinion, the food in the five-star hotels outside is not as good as my mom's. If I wasn't afraid that you would be tired, I would open a restaurant for you no matter what..."
Knowing well his mother's duplicity, Zhou Dongsheng prescribed the right remedy to coax his mother into submission, then hung up the phone.
It has indeed been a long time since I went back to my hometown. The holiday is approaching and I have nothing to do, so I might as well go home.
After the holiday, I can fly to Shanghai to attend Huang Xiaoming’s century wedding. It’s such a happy decision.
Li Jiana was called over and the task of buying tickets to go home for the holidays was assigned to her. When she heard that she could go home with her boss to "meet his parents" again, Li Jiana smiled from the bottom of her heart and the dimples on her face became even deeper.
"Okay, boss, do you want to prepare a gift for Auntie?" Li Jiana said considerately.
"Emmm, you are really thoughtful. I'll leave it to you to arrange." Zhou Dongsheng smiled. It seemed that he did not understand the ways of the world so well. This idea had never appeared in Zhou Dongsheng's mind from beginning to end.
"Okay, boss. Leave it to me." Li Jiana smiled gently.
At this moment, cheers suddenly broke out outside, and could be heard clearly through the office door, "Long live the boss!" "Thank you, boss!" "The boss is so generous"...
Words like these were heard one after another. It was obvious that Xu Kaidao announced the decision to raise Zhou Dongsheng's salary and distribute benefits, which greatly won him a lot of people's hearts and made his employees' favorability +max!
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but sigh, what simple employees they are! He was just giving back to them a small part of the value they created. Was there any need to be so happy?
With such simple and lovely employees continuously creating profits for the company , what could Zhou Dongsheng have to worry about?
Zhou Dongsheng crossed his hands behind his head and lay leisurely in the boss chair. He gave his employees a holiday and also took a short vacation for himself.
Zhou Dongsheng has been very busy during the past six months. He has worked hard and sowed a lot of seeds. As the saying goes, there are no fields that can be plowed to death, only cows that can be worked to death.
For Zhou Dongsheng, there are too many opportunities to make money, but he can only drink from one, two, three, or four scoops of the Three Thousand Weak Waters. He would not be able to drink any more in a short while.
You have to digest it first.
…
The sun sets, and the afterglow of the sunset falls on the airport runway, coating the entire airport with a layer of orange glow.
Zhou Dongsheng took the lead, followed closely by Li Jiana pulling the suitcase, and walked out of the Yuedong Airport.
The online ride-hailing cars that were called in advance have already been waiting outside. With the injection of capital, the online ride-hailing industry has now entered the fast lane and is developing in full swing.
Not long ago, Didi received more than 3 billion US dollars in financing, with the support of a number of investors including Alibaba, Tencent and Ping An. It came in with great momentum and quickly occupied the online car-hailing market, and has already taken shape as an industry giant.
Although Zhou Dongsheng is also an investor and has long known the prospects of the online car-hailing industry, looking at this high-specification car, Zhou Dongsheng can only sigh.
It's too expensive, and my weak arms and legs can barely fill the gaps in my teeth.
We can no longer afford to invest in online ride-hailing services, but we can consider shared bicycles.
