I listened to your advice and finally became a male god.

Chapter 359 Annual Meeting
In the week before the Chinese New Year, all the major industries under Zhang Yang began to prepare for their annual meetings.

It's not just his company. In fact, for all companies on the market, this period is the annual meeting week, when annual meetings are held in large numbers.

The banquet halls of the Four Seasons Hotel were completely full, and it was difficult to reserve a hall. The halls were fully booked until the end of the first month of the lunar year.

Zhang Yang is unable to appear at all annual meetings at the same time to wish all employees a happy new year, so he naturally recorded a New Year greeting video in advance and prepared to play it at each industry annual meeting.

In the conference room, Zhang Yang was dressed in a suit and looked very handsome. At this moment, he was facing the camera and saying something like wishing all employees a happy new year and happiness to their families.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, perfect."

The photographer nearby said in surprise.

Zhang Yang nodded, and without checking the effect, he asked him to go back and do some editing. Then the video would be distributed and played at various annual meetings.

Ding!
In view of the approaching annual meeting, the system has allocated 100 million yuan in special funds for the annual meeting, which will be used for all annual meeting expenses of all industries under the host.

Yo ho.

Zhang Yang blinked.

The well-informed system father came again, and he actually waved his hand and gave him 100 million yuan of special funds for the annual meeting. Now, this 100 million yuan of funds is used for a special purpose, which is enough to hold the annual meetings of all the major industries under his control with full pomp and circumstance.

The layout of the annual meeting, the specifications of the banquet, the dishes, and even the wine used must naturally be of high quality.

But these are secondary. Zhang Yang believes that an important role of the annual meeting is to motivate employees. After all, at the end of a year, who doesn’t want to go home and celebrate the New Year happily in a lively atmosphere?
Therefore, instead of wasting the 100 million yuan of funds, it would be better to turn them into prizes and turn them into tangible benefits for the employees.

Therefore, don’t be stingy with the annual meeting prizes.

Zhang Yang especially criticized some companies that did not have the strength but still insisted on coming up with a bunch of substandard prizes, which in the end made those who won the prizes unhappy, and those who did not win even more unhappy. It was really unnecessary.

Therefore, it is necessary to treat everyone equally.

Expensive prizes should be of high quality and should be outstanding. Try to get all the high-end digital products and high-end skin care products.

Mid-range prizes are mainly household appliances or small kitchen appliances, such as sweeping robots, cordless vacuum cleaners, air purifiers, etc. They must be high-end brands and no inferior brands are allowed.

For lower prices, it is better to directly convert them into cash red envelopes instead of giving out useless prizes that are not presentable, popular, and insincere.

Anyway, there is only one principle, which is to ensure that everyone has a share.

He would hold it in a grand and spectacular manner to let all the employees under his industries know one thing: there would be no other boss as generous and magnanimous as he is.

Later, Zhang Yang notified everyone regarding matters related to the annual meeting.

All major industries have begun to make intensive preparations.

·
The annual meeting held at Yinghai Four Seasons Hotel was the only annual meeting at which Zhang Yang appeared.

Before the annual meeting started, the whole hotel was bustling with activity.

The hall of the annual meeting was decorated in an extremely grand and beautiful way, but these were not the main points. The main point was the prize wall that had been set up in advance on the stage.

The hotel staff had already started talking excitedly in low voices.

Especially the female employees.

Because there were so many things that interested the female employees in that huge prize wall.

"Oh my god, there are Estee Lauder, Helena Rubinstein, and La Mer in there... The most expensive one is tens of thousands per set. Is our boss so generous?"

"I don't have any hope for something too expensive, but I'd love to get a Dyson vacuum cleaner. My family is planning to buy one."

The male employees were also very excited.

"There are DJI drones... and a whole wall of Huawei products."

"I just want that handheld game console. If any of you win it, I'm willing to exchange it with you. I'll give it to my son as a prize for his final exam."

Everyone was very happy and kept talking in low voices, unable to conceal their excitement.

By the evening, the annual meeting was about to begin.

In the huge hall, hotel employees came in one after another. Of course, property employees from Xingcheng Tiandi Commercial Street, which is also Zhang Yang's business in Yinghai, as well as farm employees in the suburbs also joined in.

Only then did they realize that Yinghai’s landmark building, the Four Seasons Hotel, known as Yinghai’s ceiling hotel, was actually also owned by their own boss.

There were dozens of tables set up in the entire hall, and hundreds of people gathered together at this moment.

Everyone was sitting at the table, looking at the Wuliangye and Changyu Aifeibao red wine on the table from time to time. While whispering to each other, they couldn't help but take out their mobile phones to take pictures of the annual meeting and show off.

Is it something to brag about? Of course.

Whether it was the layout of the cocktail party, the content of the prize wall, or the wine used on each table, they all refreshed their cognition.

They finally realized that the new boss, Mr. Zhang, was truly generous and magnanimous.

Later, everyone arrived.

On the stage, employees from the Four Seasons Hotel came on stage to host the annual meeting.

Most of the employees at the Four Seasons Hotel are young, beautiful, and well-presented men and women who graduated from tourism departments. Naturally, there are many of them who can host an annual meeting with ease.

First table in the front row.

Zhang Yang sat at the chief seat, surrounded by the hotel's GM and directors of various departments.

"Next, our Four Seasons Hotel's chairman, Mr. Zhang Yang, will give a speech at our annual meeting." On the annual meeting stage, a new female employee who just graduated from the Tourism College last year was looking at her with eager eyes as tonight's female host.

Zhang Yang then stood up from the table and walked onto the stage amid applause from the audience.

The eyes of the whole audience were focused on the stage, focusing on that tall, handsome and elegant figure.

Especially the female employees, all of them had sparkling eyes, looking at the figure on the stage like little fans. In their eyes, their boss was much more handsome than those big stars.

They don't chase stars at all, they only chase their bosses.

The opening speech at the annual meeting was naturally very simple, consisting of nothing more than nice words. Zhang Yang also understood the psychology of his employees very well, so he kept it brief and finished in a few minutes.

When he put down the microphone, the people below had not yet reacted.

But after a brief moment of silence...the applause broke out, almost deafening.

The applause was sincere and informal, and came from the heart, as could be seen from the way some male employees were so excited that their palms were almost red from clapping.

·
The whole evening was filled with singing and dancing on the stage.

Zhang Yang sat in the audience, appreciating the various forms of life with great interest, and occasionally responding to the toasts from the managers.

In addition to the management, there were also some brave female employees who came up to toast him, intending to show off in front of him and showcase themselves, hoping to leave a good impression on him.

Zhang Yang knew it very well, but he didn't mind it.

Because this is how the world works, and opportunities are always reserved for certain people.

"Mr. Zhang, I offer you a glass." A hotel employee with a rosy face and a young lady-like appearance held up a glass and bent slightly beside Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang subconsciously picked up the glass and took a look.

This female employee seems a little unfamiliar.

"Mr. Zhang, this is Chen Peipei from the sales department. She just joined our hotel last month." The head of the marketing department quickly introduced her. "Chen Peipei just came last month and got a big order for our hotel."

"Oh?" Zhang Yang became interested.

He has always favored those employees who can bring real value to him, but at this moment, his attitude immediately changed.

He raised his glass and clinked it with Chen Peipei.

Unexpectedly, Chen Peipei raised her glass, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp. The way she drank really gave her the aura of a top-selling celebrity.

"You can drink a lot." Zhang Yang smiled and nodded. "Keep it up. I'll keep an eye on you."

Suddenly, a hint of excitement flashed in Chen Peipei's eyes, and she patted her chest and made promises.

Coincidentally.

I don’t know if I talked to Zhang Yang and got any help from him.

In the subsequent lottery session, Chen Peipei's luck was surprisingly good. She won the grand prize right away, a Helena suit worth nearly ten thousand yuan.

At the dinner table, there was a burst of compliments, and everyone said that it was because Zhang Yang had blessed Chen Peipei that Chen Peipei had such good luck.

Zhang Yang smiled but said nothing.

How should I put it? No wonder everyone likes to be flattered. Even though I know that the words are deliberately spoken to please them, it still makes me feel comfortable when I hear them.

In a normal annual meeting, the program is interspersed with raffles.

It can be said that there are endless surprises.

From the initial grand prize, to the various big-brand electrical appliances that followed, as well as the various small red envelopes starting from one hundred yuan that were distributed like raindrops, we strive to ensure that everyone has a share and everyone has a smile on their face.

The whole hall was filled with laughter.

Zhang Yang knew that this was not just the case here. The annual meetings of his other industries would probably be like this this week.

Spend 100 million yuan to increase everyone's sense of belonging to the company.

The employees are happy, and Zhang Yang is happy too. Anyway, he doesn’t have to pay for it himself, as the system pays for it.

In such a happy and peaceful atmosphere, Zhang Yang walked out of the hotel lobby.

Along the way, all kinds of laughter and joy could be heard in every hall, and in the hotel lobby, elements of the Spring Festival decoration were everywhere.

Outside the Four Seasons Hotel, Zhang Yang stood under his own building, looking at the night sky and then at the street in front of him.

There seem to be more and more people on the streets of Yinghai. With the Spring Festival approaching, the tide of returning home has already begun, adding more popularity to Yinghai, a city with a large outflow of population.

Standing at this moment when the old year is about to end and the new year is about to begin, Zhang Yang's mood is filled with joy and relaxation.

"what?"

There was a slight chill on my face.

Zhang Yang looked up and saw snowflakes falling against the backdrop of the night lights.

"It's snowing!" Several children in the distance cheered and jumped on the spot, looking up at the sky to greet the increasingly large snowflakes.

"It's true." Zhang Yang smiled to himself, and took out his cell phone to take a picture of the scene.

By the way, I posted it on WeChat Moments.

The content of the circle of friends is very simple, which is just a photo of snow and a caption saying "Auspicious snow means a good harvest."

If it happened to an ordinary person, no one would pay attention to such an ordinary circle of friends.

But at this moment, his circle of friends had just been posted.

In the blink of an eye, there were likes and comments.

·
On the eve of New Year's Eve, Zhang Yang made a special trip back to the old house to prepare a new rural villa for his grandparents.

It's a bit of a stretch to call this house a villa. After all, it's only about a hundred square meters in size. But it has a large usable area and the actual living experience is more than that. Of course, for Zhang Yang, he chose this place only because it is close to the old house, there is a community vegetable market and a community hospital, and there are many elderly people of the same age around it, so they have a common language.

Of course the old house also needs to be renovated. It is the root of the Zhang family and it can never be abandoned.

After everything was settled, Zhang Yang was about to tell the old man.

Unexpectedly, the call from there came first.

"Zhang Yang, guess who's here." The old man laughed heartily.

"Who?" Zhang Yang blinked, and many people flashed through his mind.

The people who could make a special trip to visit the old man and have some connections with me, could it be... the old man's brothers?

The old man has eight brothers. The old man settled down in Yinghai. As for the other brothers, they had already gone all over the world and started their own families in various places.

Therefore, Zhang Yang had little contact with them in his lifetime.

The only time we had some interactions was when I was studying in Hong Kong City. I visited my fifth uncle's cousin's house who had settled in the local area many times. We would go there for dinner from time to time on weekends. But after graduation, we were in two different places, so we gradually had no interactions.

I still remember that my cousin was doing very well. When he went to college, his elder sister Zhang Yuying had just graduated and I heard that she was arranged for a very good job.

While I was thinking, it seemed like the person on the other end of the phone was different.

"Zhang Yang..." A hearty laugh sounded familiar. "Do you still remember me?"

Who else could this voice be but my cousin Zhang Junwei?
"Uncle?" Zhang Yang smiled. "Long time no see."

"It's been a few years. I heard from your grandfather that you were nearby?" Zhang Junwei said with a smile. "Your sister Yuying mentioned you just now. I wonder how you are doing now?"

"It's still just two eyes and one mouth." Zhang Yang said with a smile, "Uncle, I'll be there right now."

Although Zhang Junwei is his cousin, he always calls him uncle, which is simple and clear.

As expected, he guessed it right, it turned out to be his cousin's family.

Before hanging up the phone, he vaguely heard a female voice laughing and telling him to come over quickly. It should be his cousin's sister, Zhang Yuying.

Putting down his phone, Zhang Yang briefly recalled the time when he was studying in Hong Kong.

At that time, every weekend, my uncle would enthusiastically call him and invite him over for dinner. His sister Zhang Yuying was also very enthusiastic. She always liked to tease him and would occasionally take him out for dinner and shopping, saying that she would introduce him to a girlfriend.

A few years in college, a few years after graduation, so many years have passed in a flash.

It seems that his distant sister has never been married? Judging from her age, she is almost 30, right?
