Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 643: Creating a shitty career

"You two idiots don't even know about options. I'm laughing so hard, hahahaha..."

Several colleagues sitting at the same table next to them heard the conversation between Jiang Chao and Sun Ming, and they immediately laughed and couldn't stop laughing.

"Smile, what's going on?"

Jiang Chao was very embarrassed and immediately lost his temper.

"Options, the company is planning to issue shares to our employees. How about saving bonuses and paying them out in installments? You two are really good at messing around!"

The colleague laughed and explained to them.

Hearing this, Jiang Chao became even more unhappy: "Issuing shares? How is that possible? We are just ordinary employees at the lowest level?"

In his opinion, this is not the case for most of the people here.

To put it nicely, he is called the store manager, but to put it badly, he is the bottom-level employees. They are not formal managers of the company, so how can they be given shares.

Not only did Jiang Chao not believe it, but even the well-informed Sun Ming didn't believe it either.

"That's right, how is that possible!"

As a worker, dividing shares is something that is unthinkable, let alone a large company like [Liu Po ​​Malatang] that is about to go public.

What is the difference between distributing shares to employees and giving money directly?

Not only Jiang Chao and Sun Ming couldn't believe it, but most people in the venue couldn't imagine it either. Although everyone already knew that the boss was very generous, the extent of his generosity was far beyond their understanding.

It’s only 2008, let alone ordinary catering companies, even those big Internet companies can’t do this.

Even the Big Three of BAT only issue options to middle-level and above-level managers with higher positions.

Giving options to grassroots employees will take at least ten or eight years for the venture capital circle to develop. Only when many excellent incentive methods become popular will large companies follow suit.

So at this moment in the country, Ma Liang's move can be said to be unique.

But as a boss, he naturally speaks concisely and to the point, and doesn't talk too much. No wonder the employees don't understand.

The task of explaining naturally fell on the CFO of [Xunwei Group].

At the invitation of the host, Deng Jingwen quickly stepped onto the stage. Seeing that the employees below were confused, she smiled and started to answer questions professionally.

"Good evening, colleagues!

I guess most people don’t understand this option plan very well. Let me explain it to you below.

The so-called option plan is a reward policy launched by the company for outstanding employees based on future development needs.

This reward is not cash or a one-time reward, but a certain amount of restricted equity, so that everyone can enjoy the dividends of the company's development in the long term.

Although its nature is similar to dry shares, it is distributed to everyone in installments according to the plan.

These equity shares will not only allow you to enjoy corresponding dividends every year, but even if you want to leave [Xunwei Group] in the future, the company will use the corresponding cash to buy back the equity you hold at hand according to the real-time price.

In other words, as long as the company develops better, not only will everyone enjoy more dividends every year, but the value of the equity held by you will also be greater.

So in essence, it is equivalent to the group company giving you an extra bonus every year. Even if someone wants to resign, there will be a large amount of severance compensation.

With this explanation, I believe everyone can understand it, right? "

Before she could finish her introduction, the stage was already in a state of panic, and the employees were all talking about it. Everyone was completely stunned by this explosive news.

When Ma Liang talked about it earlier, they didn't quite understand it, but after Deng Jingwen explained it, everyone understood what the option plan meant.

"I'll go. Is there such a good thing?"

"You can't be fooling us, right? This is the first time I've seen such a generous company after so many years of working."

"Who says it's not the case? They actually give us low-level employees shares, which is beyond our wildest dreams!"

But it was clearly announced in public by the big boss and the company's chief financial officer, and it didn't sound like a lie.

If it were true, wouldn't it be cool? "Jiang Chao, you didn't believe this or that before, now you're slapped in the face. What did I say? Our big boss is different.

Just one word, open! "

Sun Ming immediately became proud, and now he was full of confidence in the franchise business he just mentioned in the room.

Since the boss can even provide equity to employees, it is not a big deal to apply for preferential policies for franchise stores internally.

Jiang Chao couldn't control the excitement in his heart, and even started to stutter when he spoke.
"Ah... does this... mean that my salary will be greatly increased in the future?"

"Not only that, you will still be a shareholder of the company in the future. Although the shares may not be much, one day the bonus may be higher than the salary!"

The colleagues on the side also cheered, everyone is very excited now.

Because these employees who work on the front line of the store have naturally made outstanding achievements, they are invited to participate in the annual meeting.

This means that all colleagues here may receive option rewards.

Jiang Chao resisted the urge to shout loudly, gritted his teeth and praised: "The boss is so awesome, he is more classy than us Northeasterners, I admire him!"

"You tell me! The level of our big boss is something that ordinary people can't compare to.

Not to mention our previous philanthropic acts, few companies in the entire catering industry can compare with us in terms of employee salaries and benefits.

Not to mention that internal employees are free to join the franchise, allowing everyone to start their own businesses.

Where can I find such a good boss?

Even if we sacrifice our lives for him, we are willing to do so..." An older colleague next to him continued to boast.

The more you experience the beatings from society, the more you understand that many things are not taken for granted.

Not only do you know how to cherish, but you also know how to be grateful.

Not to mention that what Ma Liang, the boss, did was from the bottom of his heart. He was not trying to flatter his employees, nor was he just trying to do some frivolous things.

What he values ​​​​is the longer-term future.

When Sun Ming heard this, he also echoed: "That's right, such a good boss can't be found even with a lantern!
I was just thinking, if I work hard for another two years, I can get an internal franchise qualification and start my own business. "

"Sun Ming, are you stupid?" Jiang Chao immediately looked disdainful after hearing this, "The boss is so generous, but you still have a shitty business!"

Sun Ming was confused when he heard this: "What's wrong? I'm pursuing you a little bit, why don't you give it up?"

"Think about it, if our grassroots employees all have stock options, then the leaders at the top will get more shares.

With annual dividends and bonuses, it is possible to double your income. Isn’t this better than opening a store?

No matter how good our brand is, doing business is always uncertain. Although it is not necessary to lose money, it may not be possible to make more money by continuing to work for the boss.

Let's work hard and strive to climb up.

When you become a regional manager, why do you still need to open a store and start a business? Just paying dividends every year can make people laugh. "

Although Jiang Chao doesn't have any big pursuits, he is not lacking in cleverness.

He quickly grasped the core key, and also guessed that the incentive policy of the option plan must be that the greater the credit, the greater the reward.

When it comes to merit, who can be greater than the leaders above?

In this way, the higher the position, the more options you will receive. Such an attractive prospect made Jiang Chao full of energy in an instant, and he wished he could become the leader of the company immediately.

Sun Ming also reacted quickly and suddenly realized: "Uh, it seems to be true!"

Even lower-level employees like them have option rewards, not to mention the top leaders and even the group executives.

Even if you are just a regional manager in a city, your salary plus stock options and dividends may amount to more than ten or two hundred thousand a year.

If he could have this kind of income, he would start a chicken-feather business!
