Chapter 627 The Great Tide is Coming.
The invitational tournament went very smoothly, and there were no unexpected problems from the start to the end.
The only drawback was that Bai Yu did not attend the closing ceremony. His absence, as one of the initiators, made the competition slightly less perfect.
But that's understandable, given how incredibly popular Bai Yu is, and how enthusiastic the students at Ocean University are about him.
From any perspective, Bai Yu's decision not to attend the closing ceremony is actually a good outcome.
Of course, although Bai Yu did not attend the closing ceremony in person, he still watched the entire last day's live broadcast on his level 0 account.
If it weren't for the numerous comments he sent in other people's live streams, his level zero account would have been mistaken for a fake account.
Actually, you can't blame Bai Yu for this. It's because he never spends money on Douyin using his own account. Since he doesn't spend money, his level is naturally zero.
If someone hadn't clicked on his profile and seen the 9999+ message, who would believe this was the account of the number one person on the entire internet?
After watching the live stream, the invitational tournament came to an end, and the day was drawing to a close. Bai Yu could finally go home.
As time goes by, 2023 is coming to an end, and their company's annual meeting is about to begin.
Their company's annual party is not only something their employees look forward to, but also a program that fans and netizens across the internet eagerly anticipate.
Indeed, many netizens viewed Bai Yu's company's annual meeting as a program, and it was a program that was quite popular among young people.
There was no way around it; Bai Yu's company's annual meeting gave them just too much. It wasn't just the year-end bonus the company gave to its employees; it also provided a lot of emotional value.
This emotional value was not only given to the employees of Yuxue Shipping Company, but also conveyed to the entire online audience through live streaming and videos.
Especially for employees of companies with poor benefits and treatment, seeing the annual meeting of Yuxue Shipping Company gave them a reason to criticize the company and complain about the boss.
If those guys can use this video to get together and complain about their company and their boss, they're guaranteed to feel great all day. That's how they build up their emotional value.
Then Bai Yu's company employees were happy, and netizens across the internet were happy to criticize him, but the company owners were not happy.
Whenever Bai Yu's company holds its annual meeting, they are bound to be greeted by their own employees. The worse the company's policies and the worse the benefits, the more vicious the greetings will be, with the most vicious ones even going so far as to insult their ancestors for eighteen generations.
Bai Yu and the others were actually quite worried about where to go for the annual party this year.
The year-end bonuses prepared for the employees have already been prepared. They specifically contacted the president of China Merchants Bank, and gave him two weeks' notice, asking him to prepare a mountain of money.
You read that right, a mountain of money has been prepared, a mountain of money made up of RMB.
Unfortunately, their company's number of employees increased again this year, and the company's profits also rose significantly.
Although their company no longer has a tax exemption policy this year, it's perfectly normal to make money and pay taxes. Even if taxes are paid, employees' bonuses shouldn't be deducted.
They have the money ready, but they haven't decided where to go yet; they still need to think about it carefully.
Fortunately, the Lunar New Year is relatively late this year, in February, so they have enough time to consider it.
As the time came to January 20th, which was the 10th day of the twelfth lunar month.
That day, Bai Yu had just returned home from the company with Li Xue and Bai Yue when they heard the TV broadcasting the weather forecast, which happened to be about tides.
Just then, Bai Yue strode into the living room, went to the TV, picked up the remote, and prepared to change the channel.
Rather than listening to the weather forecast, Bai Yue prefers to watch seasonal news, especially news about live-streaming e-commerce.
"Wait a minute, Yueyue, don't change the channel yet. Listen to this first. I think I heard that there's going to be a big tide in a couple of days. Let's see when the big tide is."
Bai Yu stopped Bai Yue from changing the channel.
"Brother, you're so concerned about the tides, are you planning to go beachcombing?"
"Hmm, high tides are perfect for beachcombing, I think. We're currently looking for a suitable place to hold our annual meeting, so perhaps we could...?"
Bai Yu then shared his thoughts with Bai Yue and Li Xue.
Actually, his idea came very suddenly; it only came to him after he heard the words "Great Tide." He had never thought about it before.
Bai Yu's idea was to turn this year's annual meeting into a beachcombing activity, taking all the company's employees out to go beachcombing.
Of course, the employees can't just go beachcombing on their own. They can hide some prizes or something near the beach, and whoever finds them can keep them.
After a day of fun, everyone was tired and hungry, so we went back to the hotel to eat and receive our year-end bonuses.
"Brother, it has to be you! Your idea is really great. It allows us to take the employees out for fun, let them earn some extra money, have food and drinks after the fun, and finally receive a generous year-end bonus!"
Wow, bro, you've got everything covered – food, drinks, entertainment, and more! A complete one-stop service delivered right to your door!
"Of course! Don't you know who your brother is? This little thing is no problem for me!"
Hearing Bai Yue's praise, Bai Yu's face also showed a smug expression. Regardless of whether Bai Yue was flattering him or not, he was quite happy anyway.
Even Li Xue, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement and said:
"Yes, Brother Xiaobai's idea is indeed good. Tomorrow, after we get to the company, we'll have HR do a statistical analysis. If there are no problems, we'll proceed with the annual meeting according to Brother Xiaobai's idea."
Okay, the company's CEO has given the approval, so the matter is basically settled.
As for whether Bai Yu's idea will be approved.
There's no need to think twice; it's definitely going to pass.
Their company is a seafood fishing and selling company. Sanya is a coastal tourist city, and none of their employees haven't been to the beach.
Anyone who has ever gone beachcombing, regardless of the outcome, can experience the joy of it, and will definitely want to go again if given the chance.
Therefore, the pass rate tomorrow will definitely be very high, and very few people will raise objections.
Besides, even if some people don't want to go, then those people can simply not go, and let those who do want to go go together.
The night passed in the blink of an eye, and the next day arrived quickly.
This day was no different from any other. He got up at around 7 a.m., even though Bai Yu didn't have anything to do.
After breakfast, he went to the company with Li Xue and the others, and then went to the post-production department to ask them to make a small link and send it to the company group.
Instead of having HR collect the statistics one by one, it would be better to have the staff in the post-production department create a link and then collect the statistics online.
This will greatly improve work efficiency and ensure that no one is overlooked.
Because every employee in their company has an employee number, even Bai Yu herself has one, and online statistics require entering this employee number.
The survey was completed during the morning rush hour, and the final conclusion was that 90% of the respondents agreed.
There's nothing more to say then; beachcombing is a must, and Bai Yu has even already decided on the location.
That's in this small fishing village.
Bai Yu's family lives in a small fishing village in an inner bay. The coastline here is quite long, and the best part of the coastline is right in front of their small fishing village.
This time, the place they were going to go beachcombing was not in front of the small fishing village, but on both sides of the village, in places that are not usually suitable for beachcombing.
It's okay if it's not suitable for beachcombing at other times, but it's still possible to do so during high tide.
After all, during spring tides, the water level recedes significantly, exposing many areas that are not normally exposed.
In this way, these places can naturally be used for beachcombing, and the harvest in these areas is generally very good.
Since not many people usually come here to go beachcombing, the resources here are naturally much better.
As for the time for beachcombing, it has been set for January 25th, four days from now.
After this annual meeting, in just a few days, their company will be able to give everyone a holiday so that they can happily go home for the New Year.
What's the most important thing about going home for Chinese New Year? It's bringing plenty of loose change so everyone can have a prosperous year.
After reviewing the statistical report, Bai Yu then took a look at the company's financial statements.
Actually, Bai Yu couldn't quite understand these reports, especially since they contained various starting points, gross profit margins, expenses, and tax payments.
With so many revenue and expenditure items and all sorts of numbers piled up, Bai Yu was really having a headache looking at them.
Therefore, Bai Yu always only looks at the last page of these reports; he only looks at the final answer.
As Bai Yu turned to the last page, a summary of income and expenses came into view.
Last year, their live-streaming company generated 60.2 billion yuan in sales, of which their company took a 6.2 billion yuan cut. In addition, their company received 456 million yuan in live-streaming tipping revenue. This is just their company's total annual revenue.
One live streaming company alone has generated over six billion yuan in revenue, which is an astonishing figure.
Of course, revenue does not equal profit; after that come various expenses.
Then there are various expenses, including product sampling inspections, employee salaries, various expenses that need to be reimbursed, and various taxes that need to be paid.
All these things added up to half of the total income, leaving more than three billion yuan that could be used at will.
Seeing that there was an additional platform, but the final income wasn't much higher, Bai Yu shook his head after seeing it.
There's nothing we can do about it. The taxes they paid this year were really high. The taxes paid by their company alone were equivalent to the taxes paid by many companies in Sanya.
That's why Bai Yu can criticize whomever he wants in Sanya, and as long as he's in the right, no one can do anything about it.
However, live-streaming e-commerce is indeed very profitable; the profit margin is enormous. Bai Yu and her team pay taxes according to the standard rates, yet they still earn so much.
I can't even imagine how much money those individuals or companies that evade taxes can make in a year.
