Chapter 876: Chapter 839: Fake Foreign Investment

The Duma election here was in full swing, while back in China, Wang Ye’s father had encountered a not-too-big, not-too-small problem.

Last year, the Flour Improver Factory had done quite well.

Before the New Year, the factory had even specially held a grand recognition ceremony to reward all outstanding workers.

The method of recognition was "simple and crude," which was to distribute bonuses on the spot, in cash!

At that time, the local Industrial and Commercial Bank actually dispatched an armored cash transport vehicle to bring the money, and the county police station sent over a dozen police officers to maintain order.

Because the amount of the bonus was indeed quite large, totaling a massive three million!

Perhaps in Wang Ye’s eyes, that amount of money was nothing, but that was a small county town in the Mainland!

In front of the Flour Improver Factory office building, which was essentially a concrete flat ground usually used for parking and such.

A temporary stage had now been erected, to serve as the platform for the ceremony.

And the several hundred workers from all over the factory gathered on this open space, without chairs, standing.

The conditions were relatively simple, but they could be overcome, especially since the recognition ceremony wouldn’t take very long.

Standing at the very front were the stars of today’s awards ceremony, the sales department staff.

More than thirty young people, each looking quite exhausted, some even disheveled, as they had just rushed back from business trips out of town.

Some, who lived in rural villages, hadn’t had the chance to go home yet.

However, after the ceremony ended, they would be going on vacation, returning home for the New Year with hefty wages and bonuses, which would be even better.

.........

Just as everyone was waiting for the ceremony to start, a line of cars streamed in, parking on the open space beside the platform.

The lead car was none other than the factory Boss’s Audi A6.

The car following was a Santana 2000, which by the license plate seemed to belong to a county leader.

Behind it were two police cars, and an armored cash transport vehicle!

Accompanied by the "bang bang bang" sounds of car doors opening and closing, everyone got out of their vehicles.

Wang Ye’s father and the County Magistrate stepped out of their cars, courteously ascending the platform.

A few Public Security Police Officers also, in uniform, stood solemnly around the platform, vigilantly watching every movement in the area.

At first, the factory workers were a bit confused; it was just an awards ceremony, and even with the presence of the County Magistrate, there seemed no need to dispatch so many officers.

Could it be due to the county’s poor security in recent years, fearing someone might cause trouble?

But soon, everyone understood why the police officers had come.

Because the back of the cash transport vehicle opened up, and two cash handlers carried a box up onto the platform.

With a gesture from Wang Ye’s father, the box was opened, revealing the money which was laid out on a table.

Stacks of banknotes on the platform’s table dazzled the factory workers below, many of whom couldn’t stop swallowing saliva...

Because there was too much!

It looked to be around two to three million...

Wang Ye’s father personally presided over the awards ceremony, avoiding the usual official rhetoric and getting straight to the point.

He succinctly expressed his gratitude for everyone’s hard work over the past year, and with the factory achieving great sales performance, it was time to fulfill the promised reward policy.

Of course, the biggest chunk of the bonus went to the sales department.

Dozens of salespeople had worked incredibly hard throughout the year.

Most of them were on business trips out of town almost all year round!

They rarely came back, and when they did, it was to reconcile accounts with the factory, file for reimbursements, report on performance, and after a few days of rest, they would set off again.

It was thanks to the efforts of these salespeople that the Flour Improver Factory’s revenue in 2003 reached nearly eighty million!

Not only was this the largest enterprise in the whole county, but it was also ranked among the top three "large enterprises" in the whole area!

"Two million of the bonus belongs to the sales department, which will be distributed according to the annual sales ranking of all salespeople.

There will be five first prizes, with each winner receiving a bonus of one hundred thousand!

Ten second prizes, with each winner receiving a bonus of fifty thousand!

Twenty-third prizes, with each winner receiving a bonus of thirty thousand!

Then, there’s one special prize for the employee who performed the best and generated the most profit for the factory, who will receive a huge prize of four hundred thousand!"

As the words fell, a huge uproar erupted from the crowd below.

This was four hundred thousand!

In one of the most backward and poorest county towns in the Mainland!

It’s no exaggeration to say that with this much money, you could buy a detached villa with a large yard in the best part of the county town, the "Wealthy area," near where Wang Ye lived, and there might even be some left over...

Now, it’s just a year-end bonus for a salesperson.

So many people at the factory had never seen so much money, nor such a generous factory.

No wonder they were shocked.

Once they came to their senses, everyone began to speculate who the lucky person was who would get this super prize of four hundred thousand!

While others were guessing, the sales department staff already had a good idea.

Their gazes unanimously turned toward a somewhat rustic-looking young man.

This young man named Wang Yanhua had a face flushed red with excitement, continuously rubbing his hands.

His chest rose and fell rapidly, clearly overwhelmed with emotion.

The sales department naturally had an internal sales ranking, and Wang Yanhua had been firmly occupying the top spot since the second half of last year and had never been dethroned!

As expected, Wang Ye’s father announced from the platform in a loud voice, "The special prize winner for sales, Wang Yanhua! Come on up to the stage."
