Chapter 1019: Work and Life

Wanting wages is just the market situation.

Wanting dividend rights, only the minimum living guarantee; dividends depend entirely on the hotel's profitability.

No wonder their service is so good; it's directly tied to their income.

They have many hotels that are chains; many employees don't get dividends, save money to open branches, thus they can obtain the branch's capital shares.

Envious, envious……

Then how do they accumulate capital for R&D?

Only when the boss earns more does he have the motivation to push technological progress.

Upstairs idiot, why need a boss? The company can also promote R&D through a reasonable dividend mechanism.

He probably doesn't understand the development direction of many of our Daxia enterprises.

Don't blame him; he's young and hasn't seen much of the world.

I'm from Daxia; let me say this: most employees, after meeting their own living needs, don't have huge desires for money.

They'd rather let money create greater benefits for the company.

Everyone should have heard of the research model of Tequ Daxue, right?

Their wages aren't low; in fact, they're quite high.

But most people, instead, put money back into research through donations or sponsorship.

Most Daxia collective-share enterprises are like that; they reduce dividends and reinvest.

Let the majority of the company's generated benefits be reinvested into major company matters.

The company's development is the result of joint effort by all its members.

Of course there are selfish people, but they don't cause much damage.

On one hand, lacking solid reasons, these people will be put on a distrust list, lowering their contribution.

On the other hand, reinvestment gradually increases each person's weight; those who don't reinvest see their own weight continually reduced.

The final result is that this person will gradually be marginalized, making it hard to join the company's major affairs.

Natural dividend rights will also quickly drop, leaving only the minimum living guarantee.

In the live broadcast room, Daxia people constantly popularize Daxia's unique way to Yingjiang people.

They've developed for decades, long forming their own complete ecosystem.

Yingjiang people never knew these; those folks would never let them know that on the other side of Lanxing there's a country called Daxia, which has another way of life.

"Cut it, why don't I know? We Yingjiang should also be like this."

"The media misled me."

"We also want this."

…………

Catherine's head feels a bit numb.

He knows it, though: "Those who imitate me are mediocre; those who learn from me die." What does that mean?

Yingjiang basically lacks Daxia's soil; rashly learning it will likely fail.

You should know they've been playing this set for decades.

Besides, are you workers willing? Is the boss willing? Is the union willing?

Do you have such quality?

Are you sure you won't drain the boss dry and then leave?

This isn't just a simple distribution problem; it's a whole ecosystem issue.

If trouble really breaks out, Yingjiang's capital will likely flee en masse.

Not making money, the risk is still high; who would want to do this?

She had to step forward.

"Alright everyone, don't speculate wildly; Daxia has its good points, we have ours."

"National environments differ; we can't just follow others blindly."

"If you don't believe us, let's ask Manager Fang."

"Manager Fang, what's your own work schedule like?"

"Can you ensure an eight-hour workday?"

Fang Huaiyu gave an embarrassed laugh.

"Miss Mai'er, you know, everyone here is an owner."

"So we don't have set working hours."

"Today's workload is light; finish up and you can leave; we don't limit work hours."

"Today's workload is heavy; we might work late."

"Of course we also have limits; if continuous work exceeds 11 hours, we'll add staff."

"In the early stages of entrepreneurship, there's no way around it; efficiency is crucial."

"We'll keep reducing this time going forward, eventually reaching eight hours."

In the live broadcast room, foreigners suddenly became much clearer, but many laborers don't care, because they need to work several jobs, far exceeding eight hours.

Catherine, to make her family more aware, continued asking.

"Does doing it this way count as violating regulations?"

Fang Huaiyu countered.

"Everyone is a company shareholder, everyone is an owner; if the owner agrees, who can control it?"

"We can't just let money sit idle, can we?"

If we don't compete, we're just giving our rivals an opportunity, which is very bad for our company.

Catherine had a lot to say, but couldn't get a word out.

I feel he's talking nonsense, but I can't think of a rebuttal.

Sure enough, he's the ultimate overachiever.

The worker beside him spoke up again.

Don't worry too much about us—our family supports us doing this.

He pointed in a direction.

Sometimes my wife and kids come over to keep me company while I work overtime.

That's the employee lounge—it has everything, even more fully equipped than home.

The kids have a small playground; moms can watch TV, nap, or go upstairs for a massage, foot bath, cupping therapy, or cook, drink tea, sing and dance.

Here they don't even have to do housework—a cleaning company sends someone every day to tidy up.

They often linger here and refuse to leave, so we have to usher them out.

This is just over the top.

The whole family supports your overtime work.

When family members come over, they don't want to leave—have they started treating the company like home?

Fang Huaiyu was also at a loss for whether to laugh or cry.

The company is basically a big hotel—everyone wants to come and hang out.

His wife is pretty much the same—mainly because home is too quiet, while here it's lively and crowded.

The men here are struggling to get ahead, while a bunch of women are just playing around.

This is hilarious, but it's not an isolated case—more and more companies in Daxia are like this.

There's no way to balance life and work, so many people either turn their home into a workplace or turn the company into a home.

There are also quite a few women who bring their kids to work; sometimes her husband goes to her side, sometimes she brings the kids to his side.

Sometimes they can go a month without going home.

For this reason, Daxia's office buildings and various parks have been redesigned and renovated.

This is Daxia, Miss Mai'er—no need to be surprised.

If you're interested, you can also check out the living area.

However, most people are at work right now, so there aren't many around.

Just a few women and some children.

If you want to see the hustle and bustle, you'll have to wait until after work.

At that time, when they get off work, they'll come over here.
