Chapter 1601: Everything in Motion

"Look at how capable you are," Zhou Andong said with disdain. "Don't forget, you hold management shares; you can only trade them after five years. If you quit now, the company will reclaim those shares."

Gu Bing said stubbornly, "What if I don't want the shares?"

"Director Gu is tough," Zhou Andong said, raising his thumb in a teasing manner, then looked at Zhou Anbei: "You followed us here, are you also planning to donate?"

"Yes!" Zhou Anbei said. "Our 365 Furniture will also donate two million."

"Good!" Zhou Andong nodded. "The company's donation goal is met; next is the individual level. After you go back, mobilize all employees to donate."

"However, you must remember, donations are entirely voluntary. We encourage those who donate more, and we welcome those who donate less. Even if it's just a dime, don't look down on it. You must absolutely not assign quotas. Do you understand?"

When speaking about this issue, Zhou Andong's expression was very serious, which made those below him also increase their level of importance.

"Understood!" everyone replied.

"I'll state my position first," Wu Huilin said. "In my personal name, I donate twenty thousand yuan."

"I'll donate twenty thousand too." Gu Bing followed closely in his wife's footsteps.

Immediately after, Man Hongshan, Qian Zhen, Du Chunlai, and Gu Qing also stated their positions, each donating twenty thousand.

Liu Qingjun said, "I'll donate ten thousand."

Liu Qingjun had no shares, and this ten thousand was his salary for a month and a half, which had only been raised in October of last year.

"Jin Dun Security's profitability isn't that high." Yao Jun had been silent, but only then did he state his position: "So the company will donate five hundred thousand, and I will personally donate twenty thousand."

Everyone understood this; Jin Dun Security's labor costs were too high, and the business they took was limited to Jiangzhou alone. Being able to donate five hundred thousand was already quite good.

Next were the department heads, each donating five thousand.

Deputy heads donated two thousand, and department managers donated one thousand.

Finally, it was Zhou Anbei: "Cao Yi and I will donate fifty thousand together."

Zhou Andong didn't say how much he would donate, but everyone knew it certainly wouldn't be a small amount.

"Everyone go back and get moving immediately, especially the logistics department."

Zhou Andong looked at Du Deguang: "Arrange vehicles immediately, load all supplies, and then wait for orders."

Then, he said to Wu Huilin: "Also, the Group Charity Foundation needs to arrange for a few capable people to follow along."

Zhou Andong clapped his hands: "Meeting adjourned!"

In less than an hour, the entire Yugong Group was in motion.

What people didn't expect was that the employees' enthusiasm for donating was very high.

The lowest was three or five yuan, and the highest was actually two hundred, and the number of people was quite large.

Additionally, because the Finance Department was busy, Director Liu Wenli and Minister Xu Baowei didn't come to participate.

But both of them donated separately; Liu Wenli donated ten thousand, after all, she was a high-level executive of the group.

As for Xu Baowei, he donated two thousand, not much and not little, following the general trend.

……………………

Chunhui Construction Company, located on Central Avenue, behind the Department Store building at the high-end residential project site, inside a drafty makeshift room.

Zhou Andong's eldest aunt's husband Li Xianghui and old aunt's husband Duan Chunsheng were surrounding a standing stove eating hot pot.

The stove fire was burning bright red, with a basin on top, and meat slices and vegetables were rolling inside.

The two of them had nothing to do at home, so they ran to the construction site to take a look.

The weather was quite cold, so they got some firewood, put the basin on the stove, and started eating hot pot in this makeshift office.

"Eating hot pot in this weather is too refreshing."

Li Xianghui put a chopstick of meat slices into his mouth, getting sesame paste all over his mouth.

"At this time last year, the weather had already warmed up a bit, but this year it's actually still this cold. I estimate that starting work this year will be later than last year."

After finishing, Duan Chunsheng picked up a bottle of Very Cola from the side and took a sip.

"I still prefer the barbecue that Dongzi makes."

Thinking of the barbecue Zhou Andong made, Li Xianghui also nodded: "Indeed, barbecue is better than hot pot."

Duan Chunsheng said: "Tomorrow let's go find Dongzi and have him get us some barbecue equipment. When we have time, we can barbecue here ourselves."

"Creak!"

The office's broken door was pulled open from the outside, the thick cotton door curtain was lifted, and Yin Jisheng walked in with a gust of cold wind.

Seeing Li Xianghui and Duan Chunsheng eating hot pot, he immediately started laughing.

"Eldest aunt's husband, old aunt's husband, you two really know how to enjoy yourselves."

Li Xianghui asked strangely: "Why are you here?"

Yin Jisheng found a bowl and chopsticks, took a stool, and sat over.

"I went to your house, didn't see you, so I knew you were at the construction site."

Because they usually ate at the construction site, there was no shortage of bowls and chopsticks.

Li Xianghui asked: "Something up?"

"Big thing." Yin Jisheng first picked up a chopstick of meat and put it in his mouth: "The Ali region has had a serious snow disaster. The Chairman just held a meeting and organized donations.

As soon as I heard, this is a big deal. Even if the Chairman didn't notify us, we can't pretend we don't know. We must do something for the country and the disaster-stricken area."

Li Xianghui listened and nodded: "How is everyone donating? Is there any specific way?"

Yin Jisheng was scalded and winced. After swallowing the stuff in his mouth, he said.

"There's no specific way. The group's donation is the group's, and the subsidiaries below, like Xurishang, are donating separately. There are also individual donations. Now the entire group is in motion."

Duan Chunsheng said: "How much did the enterprise donate, and how much did individuals donate?"

"Xurishang and Jiang Xiaobai are the same as the group, both donated five million." Yin Jisheng said what he heard: "Every director donated twenty thousand, department heads five thousand, deputy heads two thousand, and department managers one thousand."

Duan Chunsheng looked at Li Xianghui, his brother-in-law: "Money definitely has to be donated, but how much?"

Li Xianghui pondered for a moment: "Our construction company is controlled by Yuxi Real Estate. The parent company has already donated, so there's no need for us to donate."

Duan Chunsheng said hesitantly: "The group donated, didn't subsidiaries like Xurishang and Jiang Xiaobai also donate?"

"It's different." Li Xianghui shook his head: "The group donated in the name of the Charity Foundation, while Chunhui is controlled by Yuxi.

If we donate in the name of Chunhui Construction Company, it's equivalent to the parent company donating twice, so it's better for us to donate in our personal names."

"I think so too." Yin Jisheng nodded: "However, individual donations can't be too little."

"How much is not too little?" Duan Chunsheng looked at Yin Jisheng: "You give a number."

Yin Jisheng looked at Li Xianghui again: "Eldest aunt's husband, what do you think?"

Li Xianghui said helplessly: "This is a big deal, let's discuss it."

"Discuss what." Yin Jisheng waved his hand: "Of the three of us, you're the oldest, so what you say goes. Whatever you say to donate, that's what we donate."

Li Xianghui put down his bowl and chopsticks, picked up a roll of toilet paper from the side, tore off a piece, and wiped his mouth.

"I think one hundred thousand is just right, but one hundred and fifty thousand is also fine."

"Then let's make it one hundred and fifty thousand." Duan Chunhui looked at Yin Jisheng: "What do you think?"

"Fine!" Yin Jisheng made the final decision.

Winery!

Zhou Andong strolled around the factory area to check the donation situation, and after returning to the office and sitting down, he received a call from Zhang Shenghui. ===== CHAPTER 1602 =====
