Chapter 124 Annual Meeting
Chapter 124 Annual Meeting
He paused for a moment, then added, "By the way, you should spread the word that we're going to give our employees a lot of great benefits at this year's Yangxin annual meeting!"
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you!" Chu Lan nodded helplessly.
"Anyway, if anything goes wrong, you'll take the blame!"
"Then I'll get to work first."
After Chu Lan finished speaking, she turned to leave.
"Okay, go ahead." Jiang Yang nodded.
After watching Chu Lan leave, he took out a stack of manuscript paper and a fountain pen from the drawer.
He unfolded the paper and began to write and draw on it.
The various annual meeting formats he had seen in later generations immediately came to mind.
A few hours later, the office door creaked open, and Chu Lan strode in.
"Jiang Yang, I've spread the word!"
She plopped down in the chair, her forehead still covered in fine beads of sweat.
"guess what?"
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Yang didn't even look up, continuing to flip through the documents in his hand.
"Hey! These bastards, they're all like wolves smelling meat!"
Chu Lan slapped his thigh, his tone filled with excitement.
"Everyone's surrounding me asking about this year's annual party, what good stuff we'll be getting!"
She paused, then added, "Based on my previous experience working in other factories, I ordered everything that needed to be ordered, such as sunflower seeds, peanuts, candy, and some daily necessities. I asked the supply and marketing cooperative to prepare them, and they will be delivered in a couple of days."
Jiang Yang then put down the documents in his hand, looked up at Chu Lan, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Manager Chu."
He handed over a stack of papers filled with writing: "This is the annual meeting plan I just came up with, take a look."
"What? You've already finished writing it?" Chu Lan's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.
"My dear boss Jiang, you're moving way too fast! I haven't even had a chance to sit down properly yet!"
She took the manuscript, glanced at it quickly, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
"Jiang Yang, how... how is your brain structured?" Chu Lan exclaimed in amazement.
"This...this involves a lottery, cash handouts, and gifts...your idea is just too...too..."
She stammered for a long time without getting to the bottom of it, so she slammed her hand on the table and exclaimed, "It's fucking amazing!"
Jiang Yang smiled and waved his hand: "Hey, what's the big deal? It's just a little trick to liven things up. Other companies will definitely learn to use it in the future."
Chu Lan looked down at the plan again, but her brows gradually furrowed.
"Jiang Yang, this plan is good, but the cost... isn't it a bit too high? I've roughly estimated that it will cost significantly more than the annual meetings that other factories used to hold!"
Jiang Yang nodded: "That's for sure. But think about it, which of our Yangxin employees isn't wholeheartedly devoted to us? They didn't leave when the factory was in its most difficult time. How much is that loyalty worth?"
"Besides, the money we spend is ultimately earned by them through hard work for the factory. Consider it a benefit for them, and a recognition of their efforts over the past year."
Chu Lan listened and nodded thoughtfully.
"Hey, if other factories thought like you, the employees would definitely work their hardest!" There wouldn't be any slackers or cheaters then.
She put the plan on the table and stood up: "Okay, Jiang Yang, let's do it your way! I'll go prepare it right away!"
After saying that, she hurriedly walked out.
Jiang Yang smiled slightly as he watched her departing figure.
Soon, news of the changes at Yangxin Enterprise Annual Meeting spread.
"Yang Xin's company year-end party really made quite a splash!"
"Absolutely! I heard there's a lucky draw, cash giveaways, and other gifts. Wow, that's quite a generous offer!"
"This Boss Jiang is really willing to spend a lot of money! I wonder what he's up to."
"Who cares? A fool wouldn't pass up a good deal! Yangxin's employees are in for a treat!"
……
In no time, news of Yangxin Enterprise's annual meeting spread throughout the streets and alleys.
The leaders of those established companies all craned their necks and stared wide-eyed, eager to see what new tricks this young upstart Jiang Yang could come up with.
Jiang Yang didn't care about the rumors circulating outside.
For him, news of his family was more important.
That day, he received a letter from his hometown.
In the letter, his parents inquired about his recent situation in detail, and their deep concern and longing for him were evident in every word.
"Yangzi, take good care of yourself while you're out there. Don't push yourself too hard; your health is the most important thing."
"Your mother and I are doing well, so you don't need to worry about us."
"I heard you're doing well over there, and you even opened a factory. Your mother and I are so proud of you!"
……
Jiang Yang's eyes welled up with tears as he read his parents' letter.
Tucked inside the letter was another letter from Li Wen.
Upon opening the letter, delicate handwriting leaped off the page, exuding the youthful energy unique to young girls.
"Brother Jiangyang, I study very hard! I study until very late every day!"
"My teacher said I've made great progress and have a very good chance of getting into Yenching University!"
"Once I pass the exam, I'll come to Yanjing to find you!"
……
Looking at Li Wen's letter, Jiang Yang couldn't help but smile.
This girl is still so energetic and driven.
Jiang Yang first wrote back to his parents to let them know he was safe and sound, and told them that he might not be able to go home early for the Chinese New Year this year because he had to prepare for the factory's annual meeting.
After the annual meeting ended, he immediately went home to spend the New Year with them.
Then, he wrote back to Li Wen.
"Li Wen, study hard, I believe you can get into Peking University!"
"Once you arrive in Yanjing, I will take care of all your living expenses. You just need to focus on your studies!"
……
After finishing the letter, Jiang Yang felt exceptionally relieved.
Judging by the days, he will soon be able to go home and see his family and friends.
Time flies, and before we know it, it's time for the final exams.
For students like Jiang Yang, who are considered "prodigals," exams are nothing more than a routine matter.
After dealing with the situation briefly, he devoted all his energy to preparing for the annual meeting.
The end of the semester is about two weeks before Chinese New Year's Eve, so it won't prevent other employees from going home for the holiday.
After the exam, everyone rushed to the annual meeting venue.
"Jiang Yang, everything is ready!" Chu Lan said, pointing to the mountain of supplies.
"But are you really going to do this? This is going to cost a fortune!"
"Manager Chu, don't worry!" Jiang Yang patted her shoulder and said with a smile.
"This little bit of stuff is nothing compared to our factory's annual revenue!"
