Chapter 142: There Is Nothing That Can't Be Solved by a Set of Houses

Regardless of whether they are willing to admit it or not, the year-end bonuses and dividends of domestic and overseas large companies are mainly distributed to major shareholders, boards of directors, and managers. Even if it is hundreds of millions or billions of US dollars, they don't have soft hands when distributing them. But for the staff below, being able to get a few months' salary as a bonus is already not bad.

Like the Chrysanthemum Factory, which distributes equity and dividends to all staff, it is ultimately a minority. Looking at domestic and foreign countries, only a few companies like the Chrysanthemum Factory and Jin Shidun are willing to give staff real money rewards.

Even if Dongling Gao Ke doesn't disperse equity like the Chrysanthemum Factory and Jin Shidun, it will still give the bonuses and dividends that should be given. At the very least, it cannot give all the dividends to directors and executives while ignoring front-line production personnel!

Hearing Li Dongling's words, Ren Yuefeng and Hu Zi's expressions moved a bit, but they didn't say it out loud. Both of them had seen how companies in Pengcheng and Hong Kong played.

For the distribution of staff wages, they all have to hire a large group of professional accountants, formulating them based on the minimum wage, plus the overtime pay earned by assessment and long-term overtime. It looks like the salary is not low, but a staff member is on the assembly line for more than ten hours a day, and their hands cannot stop for a moment. When wages are distributed, they also wish to put the money in the bank on the last day of the month to earn more interest for the boss.

Li Dongling's style is completely different from those company bosses. Of course, this may also be because the company attributes are different.

Dongling Gao Ke is now an out-and-out high-tech company. High-tech companies in this era are truly high-profit companies, with profits generally above 20%. The profits of several of Dongling Gao Ke's products, such as the Silver Mink mouse, electronic pet machine, and Shenzhou phone, exceeded 60% at their highest when they were first launched.

Even if the profit has declined now, like Coolpad and Simon Appliances, even if the profit is "not high," it is relative to Dongling Gao Ke's other products. The profit of these two products is also maintained above 21%, which allows Dongling Gao Ke to have money to distribute bonuses to staff.

Companies that can be mentioned in the same breath as Dongling Gao Ke's profits are only those health supplement companies. After all, that thing really has no cost. But although the profits of health supplement companies are high, most of the money is spent on advertising and hiring promotion personnel. Once advertising and ground promotion are stopped, it will immediately stop selling, and in the end, they can only constantly spend money on advertising.

As for the rest of the companies that hold the banner of tech companies but are actually hanging sheep heads and selling dog meat, the profits they can earn are really just a bit of labor costs. Like OEM production of mobile phones for a certain fruit machine, the OEM fee is only 1.8% of the mobile phone cost, less than 5 US dollars. One can imagine how much money is left for the staff.

"This year, Dongling Gao Ke will distribute year-end bonuses to management and technical personnel. Supervisors and technical personnel will be distributed half a year's salary as a year-end bonus!"

"As for the main technical talent and executives at the manager level and above..."

Hearing this, Hu Zi, Zhang Ao, Chen Tao, and others all pricked up their ears. When Hu Zi signed the employment contract before, the annual salary signed was tens of thousands of yuan. At that time, an annual salary of tens of thousands of yuan was already a high salary in Pingyang. But for the current scale of Dongling Gao Ke, this salary was simply a cabbage price for the position of financial general manager.

"These personnel can receive a bonus of 300,000 RMB this year. In addition, they can choose to receive a car or a Pingyang villa, or housing in the Hanxi provincial capital, Shanghai, Yangcheng, etc.!"

Li Dongling said, "After the year, after Feiyan Technology's products go online for sale, we will conduct the first Feiyan equity reward for supervisors at the manager level and above!"

Hu Zi, Chen Tao, and others couldn't help but show smiles when they heard this. An annual bonus of 300,000 is already quite high among domestic professional managers. This is cash distributed, plus housing in Yanjing, Shanghai, and other places. Calculated, the bonuses these department managers can get this year are already close to 600,000 to 700,000.

If Pingyang's villa can only be considered average in the future, then if you wait for the later generations, just a house in Yanjing or Shanghai will be worth more than ten million.

And next year's Feiyan Technology equity is even more of a highlight. If they can get Feiyan Technology's equity and wait for Feiyan Technology to go public, they might even directly achieve financial freedom!

The executives and technical talent who can get large bonuses are mainly Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zi, Zhang Ao, Chen Tao, Gao Peng, Li Dongshan, Gao Zhiyuan, and Ni Guangnan, Zhou Shi, Wang Xia, Zhang Shiying, and others from Dongxin Semiconductor. These people are the most core personnel of Dongling Gao Ke and certainly need to be wooed at a cost. The entire Dongling Gao Ke's technical R&D, decision-making, and management also need to rely on them.

As for the technical department personnel, as well as the administrative, personnel, financial, and other departments at Dongling Gao Ke headquarters, it is also helpless that office staff get more bonuses than front-line production personnel. There is no absolute fairness in this world. Reading and technology are ultimately useful. Dongling Gao Ke's operation needs to rely on them, so they must be given rewards.

"There is one more thing," logistics deputy manager Gao Peng asked Li Dongling, "Should we start the construction of the staff building?!"

The staff building was a big pie drawn by Li Dongling at last year's annual meeting. But at that time, how many people did Dongling Gao Ke have? Even if you counted them all, it was only a little over a hundred people. Even if they were all arranged in new housing, there would be no problem.

But this year, it is completely different. Dongling Gao Ke's expansion speed is really too fast. If the staff building project continues, it is not a problem that can be solved by one staff building.

"Starting next year, purchase land and build staff residential areas for Dongling Gao Ke staff according to the specifications and facilities of modern commercial residential areas!"

Li Dongling paused and said, "These staff residences are open for purchase qualification to Dongling Gao Ke staff. Supervisors and technical personnel only need to pay 30% of the down payment, and the remaining housing loans can be coordinated and solved by Dongling Gao Ke with the bank. As for the housing price, it only needs to be consistent with the construction cost!"

Providing staff housing is actually a means to woo people and improve belonging and cohesion, mainly to woo supervisors and technical talent, so that they don't easily jump ship.

For the commercial housing that has just emerged in the country, if Dongling Gao Ke builds staff housing according to the modern style and design of his past life, including independent bathrooms, kitchens, balconies, and then installing flush toilets, water heaters, etc., then staff housing, placed in this era, definitely belongs to a big killer, which can keep more people in Dongling Gao Ke and will also become an important means to recruit talent!

Since it is to be built, Li Dongling naturally cannot be slow, "Not only in Pingyang, we must purchase land, but also in Yanjing, Shanghai, Pengcheng, Yangcheng, Hangzhou, and other places, Dongling Gao Ke must also reserve land to prepare for Dongling Gao Ke's future offices in the local area and for R&D personnel to build staff housing!"

The land in Yanjing and other places is not cheap now, but in the future, it is almost a cabbage price. Mainly purchase land near the main urban area. Even if you don't do anything, the value can increase more than a hundred times in the future. In case of special circumstances, if you sell the land, the income can exceed the income of a large group of companies. In his past life, companies like Yahoo, Sony, and Sohu all relied on selling land and headquarters buildings to tide over the difficulties when their performance was not good!

In the future, Dongling Gao Ke will establish branches and R&D centers in Yanjing and other places. If you build houses and schools on these lands and help solve housing, household registration, and children's enrollment problems, relying on that set of houses, not to mention the country, even most Chinese or Chinese-American geniuses in the global scope will have the opportunity to be recruited!

"Purchase so much land?!"

Hu Zi, who had speculated in land in Yazhou and lost money and ran back, was full of worry when he heard Li Dongling's words. He had stumbled on land speculation and was afraid that Li Dongling would go to his head and repeat his mistakes.

Li Dongling saw Hu Zi's worry, "Dongling Gao Ke will not enter the real estate industry, but it needs to hoard some land, whether it is to prepare for establishing company headquarters, office buildings, or staff housing, etc. If you don't reserve land now, you will likely have to pay a greater price in the future!"

Hearing that Li Dongling was not going to enter the real estate industry rashly, Hu Zi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although purchasing so much land costs a lot of money, Dongling Gao Ke's account now has a large amount of cash flow, especially the foreign exchange earned. Now it is impossible to spend a large amount of foreign exchange, but it is no problem to exchange it for RMB for domestic consumption.

As for Yanjing, Shanghai, and other regions, they absolutely welcome Dongling Gao Ke to build office buildings and residences. The higher the building and the more residences built, the happier the local area will be, because it can drive local income, attract more companies to come, and let more people enter office buildings and factories to work. Now is an era where the more and higher the building, the better the local economy, which will last for decades.

After the meeting, the news that Dongling Gao Ke would distribute year-end bonuses this year quickly spread. In the office, a burst of cheers quickly rang out.

From the headquarters office building to the technical department building next door, and then to the Dongling Gao Ke Electronic Industrial Park, a burst of cheers rang out one after another.

Not only because of the distribution of year-end bonuses, but also because of the appearance of the staff building, which made many Dongling Gao Ke staff cheer and even began to look forward to it, not knowing if they could become the first batch of staff to get housing qualifications.

"I heard that the staff building is to be built like the residential buildings in Hong Kong films, with independent kitchens, bathrooms with flush toilets, and water heaters, so you can take a hot bath. Manager Tao, I don't know if it's true or not?!"

During the break at the Pingyang Dongling Gao Ke Electronic Industrial Park, many people gathered around production supervisor Tao Zhiliang, asking him about the news of the staff building.
