Zhang Tianxing glanced at it and said directly to Wu Shengnan, "Tomorrow, have finance prepare some cash. We'll distribute the year-end bonuses and prizes!"
"Little Boss Zhang, I heard that a company in Zhonghai City distributed cash as year-end bonuses not long ago. Are you planning to follow their example, or is that also your company?" Wu Shengnan was a little curious. Year-end bonuses are rarely given out these days, and she didn't expect Zhang Tianxing to be the first to introduce it here.
Zhang Tianxing looked up at the sky, "That's a secret. If you don't want it, then we won't give it out, saving money!"
Hearing this, Wu Shengnan smiled and punched Zhang Tianxing, "Giving money must be accepted! Little Boss Zhang, how much year-end bonus are you planning to give me?"
"Manager Wu, you name a number. If it's reasonable, I'll satisfy you!" Zhang Tianxing said with a hearty laugh. Money is a trivial matter; as long as it can make money, it's worth spending more on capable subordinates like her.
You pay talented people high salaries because they can create greater value for you. Zhang Tianxing understood this simple equation.
"Is that so? I want fifty thousand for my year-end bonus." Wu Shengnan didn't expect Zhang Tianxing to let her name her price, so she boldly stated a high number, fifty thousand for the year-end bonus. Let's see if he'll pay it.
Frankly speaking, Wu Shengnan's contributions to the cannery were undeniable. However, she was still unsure and wanted to test Zhang Tianxing. The boss wasn't around, and the factory was full of relatives of the higher-ups, making it a place with too many trivial matters.
She was curious to see if Zhang Tianxing would agree to fifty thousand yuan. This was not a small sum, but Wu Shengnan believed she created value far exceeding fifty thousand yuan.
Zhang Tianxing stood still, looking directly at Wu Shengnan, and remained silent.
Wu Shengnan thought to herself, this Zhang Tianxing is still reluctant to part with fifty thousand yuan. Men are all indecisive. If this is the case, she might have to question whether she should continue working here next year.
Just as Wu Shengnan was silently feeling disheartened, Zhang Tianxing suddenly said, "Look at your meager aspirations. I asked you to name a price, and you thought for so long before spitting out fifty thousand."
Hearing Zhang Tianxing's tone, Wu Shengnan gritted her teeth, "Fifty thousand yuan, did I ask for too little or too much? Just say it directly, fifty thousand yuan, will you pay it or not!"
Hearing Wu Shengnan's exasperated voice, Zhang Tianxing chuckled, "Manager Wu gets angry too? Anger harms your health, and we have important work tomorrow." Zhang Tianxing wanted to say more, but seeing Wu Shengnan on the verge of exploding, he quickly said, "Yes, of course, you will get it, you must get it. Not only fifty thousand, but I'll add another fifty thousand, making it one hundred thousand for you!"
Upon hearing the figure of one hundred thousand, Wu Shengnan was stunned. Had she reached an annual salary of one hundred thousand?
Or was Zhang Tianxing playing a trick on her? With this thought, Wu Shengnan said seriously, "Little Boss Zhang, is this hundred thousand real? Is it because my abilities are worth one hundred thousand? Or is it for other reasons?"
Wu Shengnan's emotions at this moment were indescribable, a mixture of excitement and fear, lest Zhang Tianxing utter the words "I was just kidding."
Zhang Tianxing nodded, "It's real, truer than gold. You have the ability, but there are conditions for giving you the money."
Alright, capitalists always calculate their expenses and won't give money away easily, Wu Shengnan thought resentfully.
"What are the conditions? Tell me, I'm listening."
"This hundred thousand yuan is your bonus. It's because before I returned, you expanded the scale of the cannery and completed a series of procedures, which saved me a lot of trouble. Also, in terms of sales, you didn't disappoint me. You maintained foreign clients and established the reputation of our Zhang Ji Canned Goods in the domestic market. Well done, I am satisfied with your work and hope for even better results next year."
Wu Shengnan nodded heavily. A person is willing to die for someone who appreciates them. Zhang Tianxing has gone to such lengths for her, which is incredibly kind. In this era, those earning a hundred thousand a year are high-level management.
She never expected to receive a hundred thousand as a year-end bonus from such a cannery, and this was for only half a year's work.
Zhang Tianxing, you are such a generous boss, you are a person worth befriending. I will prove myself at work. You can rest assured and go back to school. The cannery matters will be handled by me and my second uncle.
How many more secrets does this handsome man have? He had scared her earlier, thinking Zhang Tianxing was a real miser. Who knew that even a miser could be generous sometimes.
Wu Shengnan calculated in her mind whether the factory had enough cash on hand. Fortunately, they had received a lot of payments recently; otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to afford the year-end bonuses.
After a few words with Wu Shengnan, Zhang Tianxing directly found Liang Cheng.
"Second Uncle, I have something to tell you. Don't get angry."
Liang Cheng smiled and looked at Zhang Tianxing, "Speak, Tianxing, what could I possibly be angry about?"
"Second Uncle, it's like this, I've decided to give year-end bonuses to the employees of the cannery."
"Giving year-end bonuses is a good thing. Besides, the cannery is doing so well now, it's only right to give out some money." Liang Cheng was very happy to hear this news. Liang Cheng always believed that great people are not petty.
Now that Zhang Tianxing's business has grown, he shouldn't be stingy, or people will laugh at him.
Zhang Tianxing said nothing after hearing Liang Cheng's words, only staring at him.
Wait, why is Zhang Tianxing staring at me? He's not thinking of withholding my year-end bonus, is he? That wouldn't be appropriate.
"Tianxing, you're not thinking of withholding my year-end bonus, are you?" Liang Cheng was a little displeased. He had been busy lately. It wouldn't matter if he didn't get paid, but he was afraid his wife would not be easy to deal with.
Seeing his second uncle's displeased expression, Zhang Tianxing smiled.
"What are you saying? Of course, you'll get yours, and it won't be a small amount. However, it will be a bit less than Wu Shengnan's. She gets one hundred thousand, and you get eighty thousand. Your wife will get twenty thousand." If I don't give you money, you won't say anything, but my mother won't let me off. I really don't dare not to give you your money; the Empress Dowager will definitely have her say.
Upon hearing this figure, Liang Cheng was startled. Good heavens, if this is the case, how much will the cannery pay out in year-end bonuses?
Also, isn't this money a bit too much? Eighty thousand yuan is enough for him to earn for several years. He never expected that after working with his nephew for half a year, he would experience so many things and earn money he never dared to imagine before.
"Tianxing, our factory's wages are already much higher than other factories. If you give year-end bonuses like this, I feel it might be a bit too much. Other factories have never given year-end bonuses, and after the Chinese New Year, there are so many disabled people who need to be hired and will cost money." Liang Cheng thought for a moment and advised.
Money is a good thing, and earning money is not easy these days. The cannery's success this year can be attributed to favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious human relations. Liang Cheng was not sure if they could achieve the same results next year.
This year-end bonus can be given, but perhaps a little less? This was Liang Cheng's thought. The cannery's wages were already high, and with over a hundred disabled people to be hired after the Chinese New Year, the burden would be heavy.
If the cannery's performance remains the same, it would be fine, but Liang Cheng was worried about a downturn in the market. He recalled that when Zhang Tianxing attended the international trade fair, didn't one cannery owner fall into desperation?
After hearing Liang Cheng's words, Zhang Tianxing smiled, "Second Uncle, don't worry, I have everything planned. You forgot, we still have the crayfish ponds. They need people too. We can transfer people from the factory then."
In Zhang Tianxing's view, his second uncle considered things comprehensively. However, Zhang Tianxing understood one thing: the sales of crayfish would skyrocket next year, coupled with the cannery's business.
Let alone one hundred and sixty-six people, even five times that number, Zhang Tianxing was confident he could accommodate them. It's just that what's needed now is to get rich quietly, not to flaunt it.
