The end of one year marks the beginning of a new year, and also marks the launch of year-end bonuses by various companies on Hong Kong Island.
At the same time, Carrefour Supermarket and Wellcome Supermarket were also completely crowded. Logistics personnel from various companies also began to support Carrefour Supermarket to ensure smooth shopping for citizens.
Kowloon, Kowloon Walled City.
"Lao Hu, Lao Zhao, Lao Qian, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year. Why are you so evil?"
Lao Wang laughed and teased a few people.
"There's nothing we can do. It's very hot and sunny over there on Holy Egg Island. No matter who goes there, they'll almost become black if they stay there for three months."
Lao Hu said helplessly.
"What's going on over there now? How's the progress of the project?"
"The progress of the project is quite fast. I mainly have to thank the Kingdom of Java, which provided 300,000 troops to participate in the construction of Holy Egg Island. It must be said that Javanese cows directly sent 300,000 people to solve the problem of Holy Egg Island.
Dandao’s big trouble…”
Lao Qian said with a smile.
"The country of Java is really awesome. The army actually sent the army there in an organized manner. They are crazy about making money. How are the wages there?"
Lao Wang asked.
"It's not bad. The salary adds up to more than 80 dollars a month, and it also takes care of food and housing. The work is actually not very tiring, and the most important thing is that there is basically no money spent there. At most
I just spent a dozen dollars to buy some cigarettes and alcohol.
And the food is also very good, including all kinds of prawns, sea fish, squid, etc. I can eat endless seafood every day, but vegetables are relatively scarce, so I can only eat vegetables twice a week.
Moreover, Java is rich in fruits, so we use fruits instead of vegetables to supplement vitamins..."
Lao Zhao said with a smile.
"That's really good. Except for the Jade Emperor Group's factory in Hong Kong, which has good food, other factories in Hong Kong only have food. As for fruits, don't even think about it."
Lao Yang at the next table was very envious. The food and drink on Holy Egg Island were so good, and the food and accommodation were free. Thinking of the factory where he was now working, he was filled with tears. Without comparison, there would be no harm.
"You guys are now regular workers at Jade Emperor Infrastructure. What are you going to hand out during the Chinese New Year this year? There are quite a lot of things being handed out every year here on Hong Kong Island."
Lao Ma asked curiously.
"The company gave me 100 Hong Kong dollars as holiday allowance, and also gave me a 300 Hong Kong dollar shopping card for Carrefour supermarket. As for the rice, noodles, oil and so on, you all know about it."
"Well, this is equivalent to a one-time payment of 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is almost four months of my salary. Is Jade Emperor Infrastructure still recruiting people? I want to work at Jade Emperor Infrastructure!"
Lao Yang asked enviously.
"We are not recruiting for the time being. Currently, there are more than 400,000 workers on Saint Egg Island. There are also engineering teams from Johor, Singapore, and Luzon. There are enough short-term workers!"
"e=(′o｀*))) Alas..."

Wong Tai Sin District, Diamond Hill.
"Dehua, bring me a dozen beers and let your dad cook some signature dishes."
Zhao Jiaqiang walked into Liu Ji and said loudly.
"Okay, Uncle Gu, wait a moment, he'll be there soon."
Andy Lau shouted and ran to the kitchen.
"We haven't gotten together for almost a year. We must drink well today, and no one is allowed to go back sober."
After several people sat down, Zhao Tong said.
"Hey, I said you guys have moved out of the housing estate and everyone has become prosperous. Unfortunately, I'm still the same."
Qu Ang said enviously.
"We are so prosperous, but we are just drivers, sailors, construction workers and the like!"
Gao Changjun looked at Qu Ang and said.
"The benefits from the Jade Emperor Group are better. I work at Global Shipping Lines. At the end of this year, I only received one month's salary and a 100 Hong Kong dollar shopping card. The other thing is some rice and oil."
Li Zikang said depressedly.
"Just be content. You know, I work at Cheung Kong Industries. Guess what we got during the Chinese New Year?"
Ren Fa said with a smile.
"What did you give out during the New Year? With Li Chaoren's stingy character, it would be great if I could give you a bag of rice and a pot of oil."
Zhao Jiaqiang said with full contempt for Li Chaoren.
"Awesome, I basically guessed it right. Cheung Kong Industrial gave away 10 Hong Kong dollars, 5 kilograms of rice and 2 liters of oil during the Chinese New Year. Li Chaoren is indeed the stingiest boss in Hong Kong Island, much stingier than Uncle Liu."
Ren Fa said contemptuously.
"Compared with Li Chaoren, Uncle Liu is even more generous. Our Jade Emperor Infrastructure is better. Not only did we get an extra month's salary but also a 200 shopping card during the Chinese New Year, another 50 kilograms of rice, 10 liters of oil, and seafood. We also distributed some fruits, candies and the like.”
Zhao Tong said proudly.
“My place at Jade Emperor Logistics is better than that at Jade Emperor Infrastructure. I was paid two months’ salary during the Chinese New Year, and also received a lot of other new year goods and the like.
But he is not as good as Brother Jia Qiang, a seaman who goes to sea for transportation. He has high wages and good benefits. He has traveled to many countries with freighters and bought a house in Kowloon early. He is simply a winner in life."
Hu Youpeng said enviously.
"The life of a sailor is not as good as you think. I am traveling on the Europa route, and I will pass through dangerous waters. There are many pirates there, and I occasionally fight with pirates. One time I even had to splint my gun."
Zhao Jiaqiang said with emotion, lamenting that although he went on the deck, he did not fire.
"Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao, how many things did you give out during the New Year?"
Andy Lau came over and asked curiously.
"I was paid three months' salary this time. Carrefour's shopping card was worth 500 dollars, and there were many other things. But the shopping card is mainly used in Europa, so that it is convenient for us to live in Europa. Used."
"Uncle Zhao, what is your current salary?"
"I'm the deputy captain now, and I also have to work part-time as a security guard, which is a bit higher."
"How much salary can I get?"
Andy Lau asked with curiosity in his eyes.
"Well, it's probably more than 3,000 Hong Kong dollars. I've been a seaman longer than your old man. It's normal for my salary to be a little higher."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhao Jiaqiang joked.
"That's natural. When I was a sailor, your Uncle Zhao became the first mate. He is also a top-notch presence in Diamond Mountain."
Liu Li also walked over and said aloud.
"Well, we were almost the same back then and are no longer on the same level. I should have learned to sail with you back then, but now I have entered Li Chaoren's plastic flower factory. What a mistake that I will regret for eternity!"
Ren Fa said with great envy.
…
"Tingjie, why did you buy another TV set?"
Zhuang's mother complained as she looked at Zhuang Tingjie who came in holding a TV.
"Tingjie, you have only graduated two years ago and you need to save money to marry a wife. How can you spend money randomly?"
The old lady also complained to her grandson.
"Grandma, grandma, this TV is a benefit provided by our company. It didn't cost a penny, and there are a lot of things downstairs. I have to run several times in a while."
Zhuang Tingjie said with a smile.
"Tingjie, what did your company release this year?"
Father Zhuang asked.
"This year during the Chinese New Year, the company paid us four months' salary, a shopping card of HKD 1,000, and a lot of fruits, seafood, rice, oil, etc., which is enough for our family to eat for a long time."
"Why did you make so much money this year? Aren't you just a small person in charge of Jade Emperor Infrastructure? Does Zhang Sheng have too much money and no place to spend it?"
Zhuang's mother asked curiously.
"Grandma, you are such a small person in charge! When we were building the port and tunnel in Tin Shui Wai, I was in charge of more than 1,000 people. I was a middle-level manager."
Zhuang Tingjie said helplessly. As expected, in the eyes of his mother, he was still with his child.
"Yes, yes, yes! In our family, Jie is a middle-level manager. He will also become a high-level manager in the future. When the time comes, he will make a fortune and buy a villa."
The old lady said with a smile.
"By the way, grandma, grandma, and daddy, I will be transferred to work on Holy Egg Island after the year. I will still be doing engineering management. I may not be able to come back a few times a year."
"How come you travel so far? And it takes so long to come back? How much is the salary on Holy Egg Island?"
Zhuang's mother asked worriedly.
"My salary will be more than 500 dollars when I get there. If you include subsidies, it will be close to 800 dollars."
Zhuang Tingjie said proudly.
"Then the salary is equivalent to doubling, it is much higher than your father's salary."
Zhuang's mother said in shock.
…
Kowloon, Tsim Sha Tsui, Peninsula Hotel.
"Today we finally have our old classmate Hu Xueli, the beautiful lady, here. Everyone welcomes her with applause."
Li Changqing said with a smile.
"Okay, stop teasing me. How old am I? How old is my son? I am a beautiful woman. You are too old and immoral."
Hu Xueli said with a helpless smile.
"Old classmate, I heard that you have moved to the wealthy area of Repulse Bay."
Zhou Huijun said enviously.
"I bought a house there last year and moved there in the middle of the year."
Hu Xueli said with a smile.
"Shirley, how much did it cost to buy the house over in Repulse Bay?"
A female classmate asked aloud.
"The total cost was a little over three million. The house prices have risen too much in the past few years, so I gritted my teeth and bought a house."
Hu Shirley said with emotion.
"House prices have indeed risen dramatically in the past two years, but you are now the president of CFC Catering Company. This money seems a lot, but it is not a small thing for you. Please reveal to me the New Year benefits this year so that we can feel it too.
Let’s take a look at the wealth of the Jade Emperor Group.”
Li Changqing said.
"Actually, it's nothing. The group just gave me some money and a car. It's not worth mentioning. Let's have dinner quickly."
Hu Xueli didn't directly say how much she had made. She was really afraid of hurting these old classmates. Although these old classmates were all doing well, they were really far different from her.
"Shirley, just tell me how much you're sending and how much stimulation I can withstand."
Someone said to Hu Shirley with a smile.
"Well, this...well, this year I gave out a year-end bonus of 200,000 yuan and a Bentley car."
Seeing everyone's curious eyes, Hu Xueli hesitated for a while, and finally reluctantly told her about this year's bonus.
"Is it the Dao Le or the British Pound you're paying for the 200,000?"
Someone asked
"What do you think!"
Hu Shirley said with a smile.
Everyone immediately felt that the food at the Peninsula Hotel was no longer delicious. Whether it was a knife or a pound, it was a huge amount, higher than the annual salary of many of them!
…
"Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng, Zhang Sheng!"
More than 60,000 employees of the Jade Emperor Group at the Jade Emperor Hung Hom Stadium shouted loudly for their boss. This year was the first time the annual meeting was officially held. Last year, only a small number of people came.
The employees of various companies on site were very excited and it was really lively.
Many tourists outside the stadium were stunned when they heard the shouts. They were envious of the majestic Hung Hom Stadium in front of them and wished they could become employees of the Jade Emperor Group and enter the scene to watch.
"First of all, let me give the warmest applause to welcome Zhang Zhonghua to the stage to speak."
Huang Zhan, Ye Liyi, and Zhen Ni were very excited when they saw the Jade Emperor Group employees present. The only bad thing was that the gymnasium seemed a bit small. Only half of the employees from Hong Kong Island and employee representatives from various countries were present, and there were many more.
People are working at their jobs.
They wished that Zhang Zhonghua could build a large stadium that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.
Although a few people sighed, they still had to let the process go on without talking nonsense, playing tricks, etc. and get to the point.
Zhang Zhonghua also hurriedly walked onto the stage. He looked at the employees in the audience and was very happy. The gymnasium held plays and concerts for several days, and finally it was time for the annual meeting.
Although this year's annual meeting is much better than last year's impromptu annual meeting, the preparations are still relatively hasty, but it is the first time, and it is already very good to be able to do it like this.
"Hello everyone, I'm here to wish you a happy birthday in advance. I won't say too much nonsense. I will send a song "We Are The World" to you and all the employees around the world who are in front of the TV or at work."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yes, Zhang Zhonghua directly broadcast the global live broadcast of this annual meeting, but it can only be seen on a TV equipped with a proprietary receiver of the Jade Emperor Group. This also makes
CFC Carrefour and convenience stores everywhere are crowded with people.
The song that Zhang Zhonghua is singing now was designated by Zhang Zhonghua as the song of the Jade Emperor Group. As for why he chose an English song instead of a Xia Wen song?
Not only the employees of Yuhuang Group come from all over the world, but now the number of employees in English-speaking areas is rising rapidly. As a multinational group, it is inevitable to choose a song with a more popular language as its representative.
Regarding which song to choose, Zhang Zhonghua thought for a long time and felt that no song was more suitable than "We Are The World". However, he made simple modifications to the lyrics to make this song more suitable.
“There is a time when we heed a certain call,
When the world must e together as one,
There are people dying,
Oh it's time to lend a hand to life,
The greatest gift of all,
We can't go on pretending day by day,
That someone somewhere will soon make a change,
We are all a part of God's great big family,
And the truth you know love is all we need.
We are the world,
We are the children.
We are the ones who make a brighter day…”
More than 30,000 people sang together at the scene, which directly set off the atmosphere of the annual meeting. Of course, some employees with poor English also joined in and waved and hummed to the rhythm. The atmosphere in the entire stadium reached its peak in an instant.
