As a company established for only a few years, Kuigu...

457. Chapter 439: So many people wish me a happy new year? (Happy May Day)

Even the director has made arrangements...

The fact that they agreed to film a TV series without the female lead is enough to show how huge the influence of Kuiguang Group is.

If it were any other company, unless a certain actor was exposed in a major scandal and was banned from the entire network, and had to consider AI face-changing technology or other post-production methods to repair it, almost no one would agree to shoot a TV series that is short of people from the beginning.

But as long as the name is changed to Kuiguang Group, everything will be fine.

"Okay, if you encounter any unsolvable difficulties along the way, tell me immediately and the company will open a priority channel for new projects."

"Okay, Mr. Yang."

“…”

In the next few days, Mr. Yang kept track of his time and walked back and forth on the sets of the two movies, "The Boys 2" and "The Wandering Blue Planet 2".

The filming progressed very smoothly and both directors were in good health, so they did not give Mr. Yang any opportunity to cause trouble.

Ever since Guo Fan was nearly forcibly sent to the ICU due to a minor scratch during his first filming, people from all walks of life in the entertainment industry have become wary of Mr. Yang's tricks.

First, try not to hurt yourself; second, even if you get hurt accidentally, you must not let Mr. Yang know.

If it were to be discovered accidentally, something terrible would happen.

This is an unspoken rule in the entire entertainment industry.

After browsing for several days, Mr. Yang, who had gained nothing, took a look at the various devices he had already purchased and were undergoing emergency adaptation.

Installed in these devices is the "Luo Ruying" that has been hyped up by netizens in recent times.

So Mr. Yang started to find faults crazily, adding a little here and a little there, trying to make something perfect out of nothing on the technical level. In the end, he managed to increase the budget a lot, which gave him a way out.

At that time, the relevant person in charge looked at Mr. Yang's schedule and the additional funds, and gave a very considerate suggestion: "Mr. Yang, after all, we are still in a relatively new field in terms of technology. There are some bottlenecks that need some time to break through."

After purchasing hardware and software without obstacles, this so-called bottleneck will soon be broken through and it won’t take much time at all.

As long as you wait a little, a lot of expenses won't be necessary.

Unfortunately, this person in charge understands technology and costs, but obviously does not understand Kuiguang Group and Yang Ruoqian.

Mr. Yang said dissatisfiedly at the time: "If we are stuck, we should find out the reasons ourselves instead of just delaying! Look at Louis XVI, why didn't he get stuck?"

"Increase the budget. Kuiguang Group is not the kind of company that would compromise because of a little difficulty!"

After these speeches, the entire project team was convinced by Mr. Yang's determination and example, and finally accepted the budget increase.

After a whole week of struggling, Mr. Yang, who was unable to deal with other projects, sighed, opened the system and began to search for illegal projects.

“Is it illegal to use public funds to give Spring Festival red envelopes to employees?”

[Querying...]

[Query completed. With the current size of Kuiguang Group, as long as the average bonus for employees does not exceed 200, public funds can be used.]

"good!"

Since the system upgrade, the company has grown larger and larger, and the various restrictions that were previously in place have been relaxed a lot.

For example, there are fewer and fewer restrictions on charitable funds, and more and more guaranteed salaries are allowed to be paid to oneself.

Mr. Yang is now a high-income earner with a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan.

After reading the simple summary, Yang Ruoqian nodded and summarized it into one sentence: "I will be going home for the holiday in two days... Another year has passed, and my company has not gone bankrupt, but is thriving. It's such a failure."

Now the Kuiguang Group has to pin its hopes for the entire quarter on a bunch of empty air. It has to be said that this is a complete failure.

It is really sad that the entire company has carefully selected four-digit employees, but not a single one of them is capable of making great use of their talents.

After sighing, Yang Ruoqian took out his cell phone and prepared to finish his work.

He opened the executive group and added at all members.

Qi Mu (Chief Assistant Secretary): "Boss Yang, what do you want me to do?"

Chang Zhiqing (Operation Director): “Always on call~”

Lin Cao, Shao Yiqi and other senior executives also sent messages in the group, saying they were on standby at any time.

Seeing that most people had arrived, Yang Ruoqian typed casually, "I have some important things to do at home. From today until the end of the Spring Festival holiday, I will not be in the company. If you have any problems, please solve them by yourselves. If you encounter any difficulties, find a solution yourself. If you can't think of a solution, wait until you get back from the holiday. Don't disturb me during this period."

The secretary was the first to express her opinion when she saw the news: "Mr. Yang, many things in the company need you to decide personally. The Spring Festival holiday is long. Are you sure that if these things cannot be resolved, they will be shelved directly? This may affect the normal operation of the project."

Yang Ruoqian answered straightforwardly: "Sure... If a project cannot function properly without me for a few days, it means that the project was not functioning properly in the first place, so just put it aside."

Since the boss has said so, the employees naturally won't have any objections.

For the sake of the group, Mr. Yang worked hard every day, providing his inspiration to employees without taking any credit. What's wrong with taking two days off in advance? Even if Mr. Yang is a business genius that has not been seen in many years, a person's inspiration always has a limit, and a person's energy will always come to an end.

Take more rest, and perhaps you will be able to generate more inspiration in the next quarter, which will bring more room for the company's upward development.

"Then I would like to wish Mr. Yang a happy new year~"

"It's really time to take a couple more days off. I feel like you're the most tired person in the company."

Yang Ruoqian often violated company rules, and illegal overtime work was no longer a secret among senior executives.

This spirit of requiring employees not to work overtime while caring deeply about the company's affairs has truly touched many people.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Yang~"

"Have you bought the ticket back home, Mr. Yang?"

“…”

Yang Ruoqian didn't respond to these polite words, and said directly: "Come to the office later and give you New Year's red envelopes! For those who are not in Jinhai City, I will send them to you via WeChat."

Holding the money in his hand for even a minute made him uneasy, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

There was no silence in the group for even a second: "Mr. Yang is so generous!"

"Fuck!"

"Boss Yang, to be honest, you've already given out enough benefits. You're really wasting money like this."

"To be honest, I haven't moved all the New Year goods that Mr. Yang sent me yet. You are too polite to give me a red envelope now."

As senior executives of Kuiguang Group, their salaries are very high. At this moment, they were not being polite to Yang Ruoqian, but were expressing their feelings from the bottom of their hearts.

Yang Ruoqian chuckled and continued to send messages: "Don't be happy too soon, it's not much for you, only 200 per person... This red envelope is mainly for the welfare of grassroots employees."

Benefits provided to grassroots employees...

Those who can become senior executives in the group can think flexibly.

"Boss Yang, are you going to give a red envelope to everyone in the company?"

In fact, if you do the math, it's only a few hundred thousand dollars, which doesn't constitute any degree of burden for the current group.

Given Mr. Yang’s magnanimity, it is not surprising that he made this decision.

Yang Ruoqian corrected: "It's not for everyone in the company, but for everyone who works for the industries related to Kuiguang Group. They can get a red envelope."

If it is only the "Kuiguang Group" in a narrow sense, the employees of the surrounding restaurants are not included.

The cleaners who clean the restaurant, the busy waiters, the staff in charge of logistics in the entertainment department... and so on, actually do not completely belong to the narrow concept of "Kuiguang Group".

Even the Shelter Company, which is 51% owned by the group, should not be included in the core of the group.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Because this is just a company controlled by the group and cannot be truly regarded as the group itself - the company has its own independent board of directors, various independent senior decisions, and even its personnel and finances are independent of the group. In any case, the two should not be regarded as a merged whole.

But according to Yang Ruoqian's idea, all employees, including the shelter company and chain restaurants opened in various places, can receive this red envelope during the Chinese New Year! This is incredible!

The group company headquarters has about a thousand employees, but if the surrounding industries are included, the number is at least ten times.

Mr. Yang actually planned to give red envelopes to all of these people? !

Amidst the shock, a message suddenly popped up in the executive group.

Cai Meng (President of the Shelter Company): "Here! Mr. Yang, do you have anything to ask for?"

Since relying on the big tree of Kuiguang Group, the Shelter Company's days have been getting better and better.

Their "Sharknado" broke away from the original bad copycat movies and received a lot of negative reviews online. After watching it over and over again, the audiences gave it extremely low ratings.

In Sharknado 3, they were so famous that they even invited a famous director to play a cameo as a cannon fodder! The old man had a big smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was enjoying it.

This has brought huge popularity and traffic to the shelter company.

A group that gives them money, good reputation, and does not interfere with management at all is simply the blessing they have earned in eight lifetimes.

More importantly, in the entertainment industry, the Shelter Company has truly become a retreat for many frustrated people to maintain their last bit of decency and dignity.

Among many unknown actors, screenwriters and even directors, his reputation can almost be said to be at its peak.

If the Shelter Company once had the potential to become a "shelter", now they have become a "shelter" in the entertainment industry in every sense.

It is precisely because of this retreat that many artists who originally had to compromise due to various objective factors now have the courage to risk it all and try to pursue their dreams.

Even if you fail, you won't starve to death.

In the minds of many people, the dream is the Kuiguang Group, and the retreat is the shelter company controlled by the Kuiguang Group. It has to be said that this is also a kind of humor.

Of course, even though today is different from the past, the Shelter Company has not slacked off.

Recently Cai Meng is preparing for "Sharknado 4" - the scenes of this bad movie range from a village, to a city, to a region, to a country, and now they have finally set their sights on the world.

It was the last busy period before the end of the year and he didn’t have much free time to look at his phone, so it took him a while to see all the messages in the group.

Since Cai Meng usually stays quiet, there is basically no news in this group, and everyone forgets for a moment that the president of the shelter company has also been pulled in.

After taking a quick look at the chat history, Cai Menghu was shocked: "Ah? Mr. Yang, this is too much! It's really not necessary. Have you seen our financial report this year? It's very good. We don't need such subsidies."

Yang Ruoqian immediately objected, "You don't need anything. The money is not much. Just for good luck. You don't need this or that. Just take what the group gives you. By the way, pay attention to the number of people when distributing the red envelopes."

After all, it is not the core business of the group, and the management is only at the board level. Focusing on supervision and preventing someone from taking a salary without doing any work and enriching themselves is also the top priority.

Cai Meng certainly understood, and he immediately vowed: "Boss Yang, I guarantee that every employee will get your benefits, no one will get less, and no one will get more, don't worry!"

"Okay, that's it. A new year, a new beginning. I'm leaving now. You guys get busy."

After saying that, Mr. Yang exited WeChat, turned off his computer, locked the door of the president’s office, walked happily into the elevator, and came to the underground parking lot.

Chang Zhiqing had already lit the engine and was waiting for him in the car.

"We are so in sync." Yang Ruoqian opened the car door and joked with a smile.

Chang Zhiqing was a little proud: "Of course not."

"We didn't go back last year, so we have to go back this year." Yang Ruoqian said casually, "If we don't take a few days off in advance, I'm afraid we won't even be able to get into the airport."

The flight had already been booked, and the two people who had a private jet did not have to worry about buying tickets. However, you can imagine how congested the road to the airport would be.

"Yeah... I'm most afraid of crowds of people." Chang Zhiqing nodded in agreement and stepped on the accelerator, "Hurry back and pack your things and get ready to go to the airport."

“…”

A few hours later, the two returned to their hometown.

Although my hometown is not as prosperous as Jinhai City, it is not bad overall and is considered the backbone of a second-tier city.

Chang Zhiqing picked up her luggage and asked, "Should we go to your house first or mine?"

"Let's go to my house first..."

Just as they were about to get on the car they had booked in advance, both of their cell phones started ringing at the same time.

Yang Ruoqian took a look and said with a smile, "I came to pay New Year's greetings. How about you?"

"Le, exactly the same." Chang Zhiqing smiled happily, "It really proves the saying that even if you are rich, you still have distant relatives."

"I don't care. I can only name two of these relatives... and I don't want so many of my aunts and uncles to join the company."

Chang Zhiqing also clicked "Read All" and nodded: "I agree. Just thinking about that scene is terrifying!"
