Chapter 124 Paying Money
When the employees saw that they were really going to give out money, their eyes widened in disbelief.
Li Baiwan took the microphone on stage and sang praises to several outstanding employees one by one for their achievements. Zheng Yali held the money and waited for Liu Shengli to hand out the amounts to each employee before taking photos with them.
The people below were so jealous that they were almost drooling. After the money was distributed and the group photos were taken, the applause and cheers in the yard rose one after another, one wave higher than the other, and lasted for a long time before it died down.
"These people have become rich. This is almost equivalent to a month's salary!" said Worker No. 1.
"That's right, we didn't get this good thing!" Worker No. 3 echoed.
"Who knows? There are still a few stacks of money that haven't been distributed!" Worker No. 2 pointed to the undistributed money on the table in front.
There are indeed still a few stacks of money that have not been distributed.
Li Baiwan waited until all the noise died down before continuing, "As you can see, I still have a few stacks of money that I haven't distributed yet. Let me ask you again, do you want this money?"
This time his voice was quite normal, not as excited as before. But the reaction of the people below changed. They were all enchanted by the stack of hundred-dollar bills, and they shouted loudly: "We want it, send it quickly, the factory manager is so generous."
Li Baiwan raised his hand, and the crowd immediately fell silent. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the factory director's next words. They secretly wondered if their names would be called next.
But after waiting for a long time, the factory director still didn't pay the money.
He said: "Everyone knows that this money is a good thing, everyone wants it, and I like it too!"
Everyone below laughed “Hehe”.
He continued, "But as the saying goes, a gentleman loves money but earns it in a proper way. Our money didn't just come from the wind. If we want it, we have to earn it with our own ability. Only what we earn is real. Don't you agree?"
“…”
“…”
No one wanted to hear this, they just wanted to wait for the money, so there was no reaction after he asked.
He didn't care and continued: "Of course, I know everyone is wondering: who will get the money?"
He patted the pile of money under his hand and said, "As long as you can think this way, it's right. As long as you think, there will be more in the future."
These words sounded like empty promises, and everyone started gossiping. Some of the braver ones even picked up their stools and were about to leave.
Several people from the security room blocked the way and didn't let anyone go.
Li Baiwan continued, "Next, I'm going to talk about where this money is going to go. Everyone, listen carefully. Whether you can get it depends on how strong your will is!"
He took down the microphone, walked to the front of the red carpet, and said in a deep voice: "I think everyone heard a while ago that our factory was going to lay off employees. But then I thought, it's not easy for everyone to come to this factory, and they have worked hard for a year. I can't just ask everyone to go back and starve.
So, after much deliberation, I've decided to take out my own private money today to show everyone my determination. As long as this factory exists, as long as you all work hard, as long as I, Li Baiwan, have a bite to eat, everyone else will have a bite to eat!
This sentence was passionate and powerful, and the people below immediately applauded.
Li Baiwan waited for a moment to calm down before continuing, "So, starting today, the factory will set up a special award. The amount of this award will be decided by everyone. If you make 100,000 yuan a month, we'll give you 10,000 yuan. If you make 500,000 yuan a month, we'll give you 100,000 yuan. This money will be used for one purpose, nothing else."
He paused for a moment, watching everyone's eyes widen and their ears prick up, before saying, "We'll reward the exemplary representatives of each department every month."
"Okay!" Someone suddenly shouted from the audience! Everyone turned around and saw a young man. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he immediately lowered his head.
Li Baiwan took a look at the young man and immediately said: "This young man is very motivated! Listen, young man, if you can get the best performance in the department next month, this stack of money will be yours!" He picked up a thick stack of money and waved it at the young man.
The young man immediately responded, "Oh my god, Director, I'll come get it next month!"
Everyone in the room burst into laughter when he said this. Li Baiwan raised his hand and said sternly, "Don't laugh! What are you laughing at? Listen up! For the next month, I don't care how you all work. I just want one thing: increase production and sales. By the end of next month, I want to see representatives from each department come forward and receive even bigger bonuses than today."
"Okay" "Okay" Now everyone below is boiling with excitement!
Li Baiwan raised his voice and said, "Each department elects a representative every month. If you want to get this money, you must be fully motivated, roll up your sleeves and work hard! As long as you dare to think and can do it, this money is yours!"
"Good, good, good!" The audience erupted in louder shouts and thunderous applause. Some people in the back row stood up. Security rushed over to maintain order.
After the noise subsided, Li Baiwan continued, "Of course, there are rewards and punishments. If anyone tries to fool me, I won't be polite. Work hard! Eat meat! Slack off! Get out of here as soon as possible! We're going to select this model representative, and every month we'll also select a representative who ranks last. Anyone whose performance doesn't meet the standard will be eliminated. As for where this standard is, it's not up to me to set it, but your average performance."
He was excited at first but then became depressed. He was now hanging his head.
Li Baiwan said again: "Don't be afraid, as long as you are determined, our goals are the same, and our steps are the same, just keep your eyes on this."
He patted the pile of money and said, "This is the goal! Don't get it wrong!"
He said this with great confidence, and everyone below looked up at him again.
He turned his head and glanced at Zheng Yali, who immediately took out a stack of red envelopes from a small bag on the side.
He turned to face the crowd and said, "We just had the Lunar New Year, and I hope this year will be a prosperous one. Today is a good start, so I'll give everyone a red envelope as a token of my appreciation. Next month, you can come here and get the big one based on your ability, okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause broke out from the audience, accompanied by shouts of "good, good".
"The factory director is so generous..." the young men below shouted loudly.
Li Baiwan nodded and said, "Look here, next month, I'll wait for you to pick it up!"
"good!"
"Mmmmm!"
Everyone was excited, looking at the hundred-dollar bills, imagining that they would be able to stand on it next month, receive a bonus higher than their salary, and go back to brag to others.
Li Baiwan saw that the atmosphere was almost right, so he asked
Zheng Yali, Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Xiaomei handed out red envelopes one by one, and everyone became excited again. They all bowed to Li Baiwan, unable to hide their gratitude.
"It seems that this year will be a year of success. Let's work hard!" said Worker No. 1.
"It's not about working harder, it's about working myself to death! As long as I don't die, I'm going to take this pile of money home to show my wife! So she won't say I'm incompetent all day long!" Worker No. 2 had a determined look in his eyes as if he wanted to join the party.
"I told you this is a good thing, but you didn't believe me. The factory director is such a good person. Just for him, I have to work hard!" said Worker No. 3.
Worker No. 4 took the red envelope, sat aside in silence, but his eyes never left the pile of money on the table.
When it was handed to Tian Xin, Zhang Yuan handed her an honorary certificate and a red envelope, saying, "This is from Zhang Shuai. The factory director asked you to give it to him!" She took out another envelope and said, "This is his bonus, 2,200 yuan. Please count it."
"No, I'll pass it on to him," Tian Xin took the envelope and certificate and nodded, "Thank you!"
Zhang Yuan looked at her with complicated eyes and said, "Sister, when you are free, come and sit down and talk to me!"
"Ah?" Tian Xin laughed and said, "Haven't I been running around enough these days?"
Zhang Yuan smiled, turned around and went back to work!
After Li Baiwan finished speaking, he sat aside and drank some water, and several section chiefs began to speak in turn.
Tian Xin opened the certificate of honor in her hand, looked at the two words "Zhang Shuai" on it, and said with a smile: You are very good!
