Reborn since 1993

Chapter 401: It all depends on the support of peers
Cheers first rang out at the Dongling Hi-Tech headquarters, then spread to the entire Changqing Road, and then cheers were heard in many places in Pingyang City. These places were occupied by Dongling Hi-Tech office staff, and then an even louder cheer was heard in the Dongling Hi-Tech Industrial Park.

In this era when the Internet was not yet popular, Dongling Hi-Tech's speed in distributing year-end bonuses was spreading at an alarming rate. By this time, most of Pingyang basically knew that Dongling Hi-Tech was going to distribute year-end bonuses, and the starting amount for the year-end bonuses was four months' salary!
When hearing the news, local Pingyang residents, whether they were employees of state-owned factories or people from private companies, couldn't help but feel envious.

They all expected Dongling Hi-Tech to distribute year-end bonuses. Last year, Dongling Hi-Tech distributed year-end bonuses. However, this year, four months' salary was used as year-end bonuses, which is equivalent to 16 months' salary for the whole year, which still exceeded the expectations of countless people.

Not to mention the staff working in offices at Dongling Hi-Tech's headquarters, let's just take the front-line operators at Dongling Hi-Tech Industrial Park. Because the sales of several Xiaolingtong products have skyrocketed this year, the basic salary, overtime pay, overproduction bonuses, and subsidies of the front-line staff add up to an average monthly salary of about 850 yuan. The salary for four months is more than yuan!

Now, for many families in China, the annual income of urban families is about 4,000 to 5,000 yuan, while for rural families, the income is much lower. The year-end bonus of Dongling Hi-Tech is equivalent to nearly half a year's income for some local families.

But Dongling Hi-Tech is very special. It can offer such high bonuses because its products are highly profitable. If it were in the traditional industry, Dongling Hi-Tech would certainly not be able to offer so many bonuses to ordinary employees.

Not only at the Dongling Hi-Tech headquarters, but also at Dongxin Semiconductor and Oriental Optoelectronics in the provincial capital, Tianya Company in Yanjing, Dongling Hi-Tech Industrial Park in Yangcheng, and Dongling Hi-Tech production base in Shanghai, have posted year-end bonus announcements one after another.

Dongling Hi-Tech's generous year-end bonus soon spread in the domestic technology industry. Different companies in the technology industry had mixed opinions on Dongling Hi-Tech's practice of giving bonuses to ordinary employees.

Some people envy Dongling Hi-Tech, but some also have complaints. Because with Dongling Hi-Tech's actions, a voice has emerged in the technology and electronics industry that companies that give out year-end bonuses are good companies, which has made many companies dissatisfied.

Especially some assembly companies, they actually buy parts from abroad, assemble them after returning, put a brand on them and sell them, making a profit from the difference. They even think that they make too little and wish they could pay less wages, not to mention paying their employees more.

There are even voices saying that Dongling Hi-Tech is destroying the market and putting on a show. Dongling Hi-Tech offers higher salaries than other companies for the same factory workers, and gives out various gifts during festivals. Now they are offering year-end bonuses. Doesn't this just make them look evil? !

The industry's attitude towards Dongling Hi-Tech is unclear, but after this wave of year-end bonuses, the status of Dongling Hi-Tech and other companies in the minds of job seekers began to become very different.

Dongling Hi-Tech had its reputation before, but in the minds of many Chinese people, there was still a gap between it and foreign companies. However, it could not withstand the comparison with its peers. After this incident, the treatment of Dongling Hi-Tech and foreign companies, especially for ordinary employees, was comparable or even better.

By the time the recruitment season begins next year, the number of people who want to join Dongling Hi-Tech will probably be several times more than before!
If this continues for a long time, a siphon phenomenon will be formed in the domestic technology industry. People looking for jobs will give priority to Dongling Hi-Tech and some large foreign companies, and then consider other companies. More and more talents will enter Dongling Hi-Tech.

Tonight, the entire Pingyang city area, including restaurants, bathhouses, karaoke bars, video halls, and the recently popped up arcade halls and discos, were almost all full. These places were almost completely occupied by Dongling Hi-Tech employees.

……

"Mr. Song is back!"

"Manager Song!"

Song Yajun rode a motorcycle that was given to him as a prize by Dongling Hi-Tech last year. When he returned to Dongfang Jiayuan community, many acquaintances came to greet him.

Song Yajun, who used to be a workhorse at Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1, has now become the technical director of Dongling Hi-Tech Industrial Park and one of the supervisors of the industrial park. All the workshop technicians in Dongling Hi-Tech Industrial Park are under his management.

The smooth production of Dongling Hi-Tech's products, the normal operation of the production lines, the improvement of production capacity and the yield rate are all inseparable from Song Yajun. Since Li Dongling recruited him to Dongling Hi-Tech, Song Yajun has made great contributions.

As Dongfang Jiayuan is a residential community for Dongling Hi-Tech employees, Song Yajun naturally had a share in the first batch of houses.

Now, Oriental Jiayuan has delivered two phases and is still under expansion. In addition to the staff of Dongling Hi-Tech, there are also personnel from Pingyang Municipal Government. Now Oriental Jiayuan is actually the best residential community in Pingyang.

To be honest, after joining Dongling Hi-Tech for a few years, Song Yajun's life now has changed a lot compared to when he was a hard worker in Xicheng Wireless Factory No. 1 for more than ten years.

"Congratulations to Mr. Song. He has won the Outstanding Staff Award of the department again this year. He may even win the Outstanding Staff Award of our industrial park this year!"

After entering Dongfang Jiayuan, someone who was familiar with Song Yajun greeted him.

The reason why Song Yajun won the Outstanding Staff Award of the Technology Department of Dongling Hi-Tech Industrial Park this year was not because of his position as a supervisor, but because of his hard work.

He is familiar with the production lines of Dongling Hi-Tech Industrial Park. Even if the equipment is imported from abroad, he is the fastest to master the technology. Compared with younger technicians, he has to work harder.

He even proposed a number of technical improvement plans, especially this year, he also came up with two patents for mobile phone production lines. No one can find fault with this award.
Hearing this, Song Yajun smiled and waved his hand, "It's hard to say. There are many talented people in our factory. Lao Tao from the production department has made great contributions this year. If he hadn't led his team to produce so many PHS phones, we wouldn't even get our year-end bonuses!"

"Mr. Song, at the end of last year, I gave you a motorcycle as a prize. What will you get this year?" "It won't be a car, will it?!"

The people who gathered nearby asked Song Yajun with curiosity in their voices. Although they all knew that even if a car was given out, it probably wouldn't be their turn, they still couldn't help but feel curious.

"I don't know about that. It's not up to us to decide what prizes to give out and who to give them to!"

"I have to go back first. My wife and children are waiting for me!"

When he heard the car, Song Yajun's eyes moved, then he picked up the roasted lamb leg, braised meat, drinks, etc. in his hands and rushed home.

On the way, Song Yajun recalled the rumor he heard today from Duan Youli, the general manager of Dongling Hi-Tech Industrial Park, that the logistics department had indeed purchased a batch of cars as this year's grand prizes, and three of the cars were given to the industrial park. Song Yajun didn't know who would get these three cars, but who wouldn't have some thoughts in mind when facing this prize?

……

Also in Dongfang Jiayuan, just around the same time as Song Yajun, Tao Zhiliang, whom Song Yajun mentioned, also returned to the house in Dongfang Jiayuan with bags of things.

Tao Zhiliang's wife Zhu Jing had already prepared a large table of food. Seeing the pile of things in his hands, she couldn't help but ask, "Why did you buy so many things today?"

The current situation of the Tao family is completely different from before. As the head of the production department of Dongling Hi-Tech Industrial Park, his salary has already entered the ranks of Dongling Hi-Tech's senior management. Now, if bonuses and the like are not counted, his annual salary is more than 40,000 yuan. For Tao Zhiliang, this was something he could never have imagined before.

"This girl is going to take the college entrance examination next year. She can use all these things!"

When talking about the little cotton-padded jacket, Tao Zhiliang's face unconsciously showed a happy expression, but when he turned around and saw a pair of people staring at him eagerly, Tao Zhiliang's face turned bad again. Looking at his own bastard, Tao Zhiliang asked unhappily, "What are you looking at!"

"No, Dad, this is mine. I'm going to high school next year!" Tao Zhiliang's son stretched out his hand to him eagerly.

Tao Zhiliang glanced at the bastard in his home with a bad temper, but still took out a few gifts and gave them to him, "Pay attention in the future. If you can catch up with your sister in the exam results, the motorcycle at home will be yours in the future.

As long as you can pass the exam, I will give you whatever you want even if I sell everything I have!"

"Then I won't count on it. You should just keep it and ride it by yourself!"

Tao Zhiliang's son was looking through those things and said to Tao Zhiliang casually. After he finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck. When he looked up, he saw Tao Zhiliang looking at him murderously, and his hand reached straight for the belt around his waist.

When Tao Zhiliang's son saw this, he let out a strange cry and ran into the room. Tao Zhiliang was so angry that he stamped his feet and said, "You bastard..."

Zhu Jing hurriedly grabbed Tao Zhiliang, avoiding a huge commotion. It was not until dinner time when Tao Zhiliang saw his little girl coming back from evening study that he calmed down and kept picking up food for her.

"Dad, I really can't eat anymore!"

Seeing Xiao Mian'ao speak, Tao Zhiliang stopped and put a big chicken leg into Xiao Mian'ao's bowl.

"After the Chinese New Year, I will take the college entrance examination next year. Have you thought about which university you want to go to?"

Tao Zhiliang took a sip of wine, then asked his little girl, "Tao Zhiliang's daughter is doing very well in the local school. In addition, Pingyang's finances have improved in recent years, and the government has increased its investment in education, so the education level has begun to improve."

According to Tao Zhiliang's daughter's several municipal mock exams, she couldn't say for sure whether she could get into a prestigious university, but she had a great chance of getting into a university in Hanxi Province, so Tao Zhiliang asked.

"With my current grades, if I can get in, I want to go to Pingyang University!" Tao Zhiliang's daughter said in a clear tone, obviously after careful consideration.

"What?"

But when Tao Zhiliang heard this, he was a little dumbfounded.
