Chapter 279 Thunder
Time flies and it is the new year.

The factory-wide meeting was held in the factory square, where all the people in the factory, whether they were workshop workers or other people in the factory, gathered.

Because there are more and more people in the factory, already thousands of people, it is most appropriate to hold the meeting in the square.

"Comrades, friends, fellow factory workers, today is the day of our factory's annual meeting. Why was it chosen today?"

"The main reason is that the Chinese New Year is coming soon. We didn't prepare any New Year's goods for everyone this year. Do you know why?"

"Because, I prepared this for everyone today!"

At the end of his speech, Yang Zhenyu directly removed the red cloth on the table. In an instant, neatly stacked money appeared in front of everyone.

You have to know that the hundred-yuan bill had not yet appeared in those days, and the largest denomination was ten yuan. On the long table, all the ten-yuan bills were neatly stacked.

"I'm a straightforward person. I don't know any big principles or blueprints. I just like to take out cash and share it with everyone."

"it is good!"

Before Yang Zhenyu finished speaking, the workers in the audience cheered loudly.

Then there was thunderous applause, and everyone was clapping sincerely.

After all, there is so much money on the stage, if everyone shares it, everyone will get a lot.

"Okay, everyone be quiet. Next, go to the factory office next door to sign according to your department, and then come over with the slip to collect your money."

"Let me make it clear first, you are not allowed to collect this thing on behalf of others. If you didn't come today, you can only envy everyone else."

When Yang Zhenyu saw the situation in the audience, he immediately decided to distribute the money first.

The workers were the first to receive their wages. Led by the workshop director, they went to the finance department to sign and then took the slips to the stage.

"Meng Guihua, you've been in the factory for one year and three months, so you get a year-end bonus of 300. Take it and get yourself something nice for the New Year." Yang Zhenyu took a look at the note, then counted out 300 and put it in Zhang San's hand.

"Thank you, Director. Thank you, Director!" Meng Guihua thanked excitedly.

It was impossible not to be excited. This amount of money was two months' salary for him. This was also the reason why the salary at Chuyang Factory was higher than that at the state-owned factory.

"Don't thank me. As long as you work hard and our factory continues to perform well, you will get bonuses every year."

Each worker received his or her own bonus, which is basically equivalent to an extra 20 yuan in salary every month since joining the factory.

However, when all this money is paid out at once, the amount is very considerable, and the shortest time spent in the factory is three months.

These days, all factories with decent performance will have bonuses, it’s just a matter of how much. However, Chuyang Factory is the first to give out so much at once.

Seeing stacks of banknotes being distributed to the workers, the invited reporters were extremely surprised, and several of them hurriedly pressed the shutter.

"Comrades, now that everyone has received their bonuses, please take your seats and we are ready to move on to the next step. What is that step?"

"That's right, let's get started. After this meal, we'll officially have a holiday. Everyone can go home and have a good New Year. We'll create more success next year."

"it is good!"

As soon as Yang Zhenyu finished speaking, the audience burst into warm cheers and thunderous applause.

Everyone was very tired after working all year round. They didn't have the energy to listen to speeches at this time. It would be better to start the meal directly. Next, Yang Zhenyu personally took Fu Yuanfei and Qu Qingrong to toast the workers one by one.

Although the wine is mixed with water, you will still get drunk if you drink too much, especially when there are more than a hundred tables to be served.

"Director Yang, can we interview you?" the reporter asked carefully.

Originally, this interview was not within the scope of the invitation, but the scene just now did shock these reporters.

"Sure, let's fill our stomachs first, fellow reporters, and then we'll go to the office for an interview, okay?" Yang Zhenyu said cheerfully.

"Thank you, Director Yang, you are really different." The reporter said happily.

After Yang Zhenyu toasted, he took his people back to the office. If they stayed here, many workers would feel uncomfortable, so they just left.

"Dear reporters, the factory director has asked us to bring back some local specialties for you." The person from the factory office said as he distributed Walkmans to the reporters.

"This, this is inappropriate, right?" The reporters were all confused.

Originally, they were planning to go on a short business trip, have a meal, and take a break, but they didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain.

"There's nothing inappropriate. These are all produced by our factory. During quality inspection, some were found to have defects. It would be a pity to throw them away, so we distribute them to the workers from time to time." said the person in the factory office.

"Thank you, Director Yang."

The reporters are not stupid. There is no such thing as failing quality inspection. It's just a matter of changing the name.

"Director Yang is really generous. I've seen this tape recorder before. It costs more than 70 yuan at the supply and marketing cooperative. Many children buy it to listen to English. Moreover, if you use headphones, it won't disturb others."

"That's right, this guy is really generous. It's just a report, but he actually gave me such a good thing."

However, what these reporters don’t know is that this is nothing to Yang Zhenyu, but if it makes these reporters happy, their reports will be more positive.

Therefore, Yang Zhenyu believes that it is very cost-effective to do so.

After the reporters had eaten and drunk their fill, they were led by the factory office staff to Yang Zhenyu's office.

"Director Yang, can we start the interview now?" the reporter asked.

"Okay." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"We see that your office is full of books. Have you read all of these books?" the reporter asked.

"Mostly, I have read some scientific works here, such as magazines like Science and Nature, and the works of great men here. As for some miscellaneous novels over there, I have read them relatively less." Yang Zhenyu said, pointing to the bookshelf on the wall.

"So, you don't like novels or anything like that?" the reporter asked.

"That's not the case. It's mainly because I don't have time. I spend most of my time reading academic books. After all, I still have to take classes at Beijing University of Technology, so I must be good at academics." Yang Zhenyu shrugged.

"You must be joking. We all know that you are one of the best experts in the field of amateur science in the country. Moreover, before coming here, we also got some information saying that most of the amateur science manufacturers in the country are using the technology you have." The reporter said with a smile.

Of course, this conversation will definitely not be broadcast or published in the newspaper. After all, it is just a casual chat during the interview.
