It is not poverty but inequality that we should worry about. Under heavy rewards, there will surely be brave men. What is said must be done, and what is done must be fruitful. Since I said that following me means you will have meat to eat, I will certainly not treat you unfairly. The factory can afford this expense.
A thousand pieces of gold to buy a horse's bones, heavy gold to seek high talents. I can pay workers this much, and those who come with talent will at least double their pay.
Under Zhang Tianxing's arrangement, the workers at the cannery received their first year-end bonus. Many people learned for the first time that such a thing as a year-end bonus existed.
Bosses like Zhang Tianxing are rare. Handsome, good at making money, and generous. Such a boss is worth associating with!
Erzhu Zi, the representative of the cannery workers, stood at the door with a smile, his two thousand yuan in his pocket, filled with pride.
He just wanted to ask if there was anyone else who could get a year-end bonus of two thousand yuan for being a security guard. This was the recognition of his work and his efforts by young boss Zhang.
If you treat me as a national scholar, I will repay you with my life. Young boss Zhang, in this life and in the next, I, Erzhu, will follow young boss Zhang's lead. The spring for us security guards has arrived.
There were not a few people like Erzhu. They originally thought they were just working, but they never expected young boss Zhang to be so generous.
He had raised a group of bottom-level workers by several notches.
While some rejoiced, others lamented. The cannery was full of smiles, while other places were filled with cries of hardship.
"Old Zhang, I heard the cannery is giving out benefits and year-end bonuses again. Is their boss planning to run away?"
"Are you stupid? If the boss runs away, who will distribute the money to the workers? Our boss doesn't even give year-end bonuses, let alone holiday benefits."
"That's right. It makes me angry just thinking about it. In the first half of the year, I earned eighty yuan more than Erzhu. But now Erzhu earns eighty yuan more than me. Who can I reason with?"
"You've only calculated your salary, not the benefits and year-end bonus. I heard Erzhu's year-end bonus is a full two thousand yuan."
This two thousand yuan sparked envy among the crowd. Good heavens, they earned two thousand yuan in a few months, and they received it as a year-end bonus.
The key was that their monthly salary was still tens of yuan higher. It seemed the gap was widening.
Seeing their former companions doing so well, with money constantly flowing into their pockets, many felt the disparity when they looked at their own empty pockets.
It was only because at that time, one went south and the other went north. One joined the cannery as a security guard, and the other went to the factory to tighten screws.
Life is truly ironic. The same beginning, different endings.
"I'm so envious, I really can't understand why their benefits are so high?"
"Actually, I have insider information. Did you hear what happened the day before yesterday? They say over two hundred disabled people went to the cannery, to be arranged to work there. What do you think they will earn when these two hundred disabled people work at the cannery? So, I say, we shouldn't look at the present, we should look long-term."
"Brother, what you said makes a lot of sense. It's just that I can only look at how much I earn each month because I rely on my monthly salary to live."
"If you're envious of the cannery's treatment, then find a way to apply. That factory is always hiring. As the saying goes, nothing is impossible if you can think of it; it's not that the road is uneven, but that people are incompetent."
"Big brother, what you said makes sense, but I'm still envious of their salary. I don't want to do their job. I heard their work requirements are very strict, and they deduct money at every turn."
"Really? If that's the case, then this money isn't easy to earn."
"Even after being fined, they can still receive such a high salary, which is indeed tempting. After all, we come out to work hard just to earn more money, don't we?"
"I dare say this cannery won't last long. Once the disabled people start working, how will their salaries be calculated? Equal pay for equal work, or unequal pay for equal work? These are all issues. I'm not optimistic about the cannery."
...
Chen Zhilong was furious when he heard about the cannery's recent events. Well done, Zhang Tianxing. You wouldn't let me invest, and now you're giving out year-end bonuses. It seems you really want to die.
This is like saying you refuse a heavenly path and break into hell. I'll find someone to deal with your little cannery.
Forget it, I can't rely on the local authorities in Zhonghai City. It seems I have to handle this from a higher level.
This cannery has foreign trade business. This is easy to handle. Chen Zhilong immediately returned to Shengjing.
"Zhlong, you're back. How did the business negotiation go this time?" asked Chen's father.
"Don't even mention it. Your son was outmaneuvered there. They completely refused my conditions and wouldn't let us invest."
"Then forget it. We'll find another one. Anyway, we're all passive investors. We can just switch."
Chen Zhilong shook his head. "No, Dad. Think about it. They rejected us without any repercussions. If this continues, who will cooperate with us? We need to let people know that cooperating with us means we share the profits, and not cooperating means we go to hell."
Chen's father nodded. "Alright, you handle this. Be careful and don't get into trouble."
Chen Zhilong nodded. His father was becoming more timid with age. Those in business, do they have any spirit? Those with spirit never do business.
In the business world, everyone is shrewd. How can they make money without being shrewd?
Chen Zhilong has seen many businessmen. Few have backbone, but even those with backbone know what's important.
They know what to do and what not to do.
To make an enemy of a third-generation family like mine is the most unwise choice.
That Zhang Ji Canned Food seems to have products for export and deals in foreign exchange. Chen Zhilong thought for a moment and came up with a brilliant idea.
He could hit Zhang Tianxing hard and make him lose all his capital.
You say your Zhang Ji Canned Food has excellent quality? Then I'll find some small manufacturers to put your brand on and produce canned food.
When problems arise in the market, let's see how Zhang Tianxing explains it.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhilong burst into laughter.
There's no time to delay. We'll start after the new year. Within a month or two, I'll defeat Zhang Tianxing with his brand.
I don't believe it. If I ruin your reputation, how will you survive in the business world?
By then, you'll beg me to invest, and I, Chen Zhilong, won't even spare you a glance.
I will let everyone know what the consequence of rejecting me, Chen Zhilong, is.
Let alone the president of a small crayfish association, if I'm unhappy, I'll even have your crayfish association dissolved.
Only then did Chen Zhilong feel relieved. He had never met such a stubborn person.
Young man, you are still young. You should know the wisdom of the saying "harmony brings wealth."
From the moment you rejected me, Chen Zhilong, it was destined that your cannery would close down.
