Chapter 96: Carrot Motivation
Lin Jianyan didn't care about his dislike and said proudly, "How can it be the same? I earned this with my own ability. It means a lot different to what you gave me."
Qin Wu said lovingly, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more. Put your card away quickly. Let's go eat something. It's almost time to go back after we finish eating."
"good."
The banquet lasted until about two o'clock, and people left one after another. After Lin Jianyan returned, he went directly to the bank and transferred all the money in the card to his own card, and then he felt completely relieved.
On the 28th of the lunar month, the Chinese New Year atmosphere is at its strongest. Many shops on the street are closed, but some are still open to make money during the Chinese New Year.
The factory was officially closed today, so Lin Jianyan had to show up at the factory. When he arrived, the workers had already packed up, and the factory was cleaned very well.
A piece of open space was cleared nearby and a platform was built, with a pile of rice, flour, oil and meat piled up there. It seemed that they would be giving away gifts collectively later.
Liu Huawei was wearing a suit and adjusting the microphone on the stage. When he saw Lin Zhenyan coming, he walked over happily and said, "Boss, you are here. We have been waiting for you. Go up and say a few words. After you finish, we can give out gifts."
Lin Jianyan was somewhat helpless as he pushed her, "Why is it so grand?"
"The Chinese New Year comes only once a year, so let's have a good time with lots of fun."
He was pushed onto the stage by Liu Huawei. The employees below applauded enthusiastically and everyone looked at him eagerly. Lin Jianyan looked at the hundreds of eyes below and waved his hand with a smile, asking them to be quiet.
The crowd's applause gradually stopped as they listened to what Lin Jianyan said next.
Lin Jianyan held the microphone and said warmly, "I haven't prepared any speech, so I'll just say a few words."
"Everyone has worked hard in the past six months. This factory was opened in a hurry and could only set up a few production lines at the beginning. In the first month, due to the small number of people, everyone worked overtime until midnight to supply goods. Thanks to everyone's efforts during this period, our factory is finally on the right track."
"Here, Brother Hua and I would like to thank everyone for their hard work. It's Chinese New Year, and we don't have much to reward you with, so we have prepared some gifts and bonuses, and hope everyone has a good Chinese New Year."
After he finished speaking, the audience burst into enthusiastic applause. Many people's hands turned red from clapping, and some older people even had tears in their eyes.
They should be more grateful to Lin Zhenyan for giving them such a good job. Other factories no longer recruit people of their age, and only the screening conditions here are loose. If they work for another two years, they will be able to save some money after retirement and will not have to live a hard life.
Lin Jianyan stepped aside and let Liu Huawei continue to host.
Liu Huawei cleared his throat and said, "Okay, I don't have much to say. Just like what the boss said, if everyone works hard, the factory will be good, and everyone will be better. The welfare of the factory has been witnessed by everyone in recent times."
The workers below nodded one after another, with innocent smiles on their faces. During this period, the factory's performance has been getting better and better, and the welfare has also been rising. Everyone is very happy.
"We have prepared some New Year gifts and red envelopes for everyone. Please line up and divide into groups to receive your gifts." As soon as Liu Huawei finished speaking, the whole workshop became lively. Everyone was talking at once, and a joyful atmosphere filled the air.
Soon, everyone lined up and divided into small groups, moving in an orderly manner. Liu Haowei arranged for several employees to distribute gifts and red envelopes to everyone.
The red envelopes were easy to take, as you could just put them in your pocket and take them away. However, the rice, noodles, oil, and meat distributed only weighed a few pounds, but because there were so many types, they were too heavy to hold with both hands. Someone remembered that there were sacks for loading goods in the warehouse, and this solved the problem.
Everyone was holding their own sack, with a red envelope in their pocket, and their mouths were almost splitting with laughter.
After everyone had received their own gifts, Liu Huawei clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, "Did everyone receive it?"
Everyone shouted happily, "We got it!"
"Okay, let's move on to the next step." Liu Huawei waved his hand from behind, and several people came over carrying bicycles with big red flowers tied on the front of the bicycles.
Everyone was a little confused, what was this going to do?
After all the bikes were brought up, Liu Huawei said to the crowd, "These bikes were given out of my own pocket by my boss and I as rewards to two supervisors and old employees who have been with me for many years."
Everyone was shocked. They had never expected such a big deal. The old employees were also totally unprepared. They were stunned at first, and then they all looked at him and Lin Jianyan beside him in shock. After a brief moment of shock, everyone waved their hands and declined.
"No, no, no, Boss, Director Liu, this is too expensive."
"Yes, we have already received New Year gifts. We really can't accept such expensive gifts anymore."
"We can't accept it, we really can't accept it!"
Liu Huawei smiled and waved his hands to calm them down. "Listen to me, everyone knows that I was the former boss of this factory. It went bankrupt due to some internal reasons. If it weren't for Boss Lin's timely help, I might not be able to stand here."
"You have been with me for so many years, and you have contributed both the credit and the hard work. There are so many people in the factory, but you are the only ones who are willing to trust me and follow me, training new employees and managing the factory without giving up. I am really grateful."
Lin Jianyan also nodded, his voice gentle but firm, "Director Liu is right, this is a small token of our appreciation, please don't refuse, just accept it."
"You don't have to be jealous. They are veteran employees. You were taught by them. You must know how hard they work. As long as you work hard, you will definitely get such good benefits in the future."
Everyone was stunned at first, then they started cheering, and the loud cheers echoed throughout the factory.
If the new employees who started at the same time received this reward, they might feel dissatisfied, but since the award is given to these old employees, they will not have any dissatisfied emotions.
After all, these old employees are their mentors, and they have done their best to train them. They have also followed Director Liu for so many years, so they deserve some rewards.
The boss has said that this benefit will continue in the future, so they will not have any bad feelings. Their only thought now is to work hard, and in a few years when their qualifications are improved, they may also get a share of these rewards.
Lin Jianyan looked at them and nodded with satisfaction. If you want the horses to run faster, just hang a carrot in front of them, and then let them see others eating the carrot, then they will run forward with all their might, wanting to eat it too.
