Chapter 127 The Richest Boss
The Chinese New Year is just ten days away and people are longing to return home, and the mainland bodyguards are no exception.

At the end of last year, Fang Hexuan held another annual meeting.

Since there are several more companies under its umbrella than the previous year, it is certainly impossible to force thousands of employees to get together to hold an event.

Therefore, Fang Hexuan only authorized each company to use a certain amount of annual meeting funds, including hotel banquet meal expenses and the purchase of New Year gifts.

This is just a benefit for the Gregorian New Year.

As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Fang Hexuan gave each employee (except management) an extra red envelope of HK$5000 in addition to the usual Spring Festival gift packages.

Please note that this is the red envelope given by the boss in addition to the year-end bonus. For this item alone, Fang Hexuan will have to pay tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

As for middle and senior management staff, their treatment is beyond compare.

Talents valued by Fang Hexuan, such as Jiang Guoyong and Huo Jianning, received year-end bonuses and red envelopes exceeding one million Hong Kong dollars.

According to statistics from Fang Hexuan's personal financial manager, the annual meeting and various benefits distributed during the Chinese New Year cost Fang Hexuan a total of 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars.

This can be said to be the most generous boss in Hong Kong at present. He does not have the "talk less and work more" attitude of a capitalist at all.

Such generosity towards employees naturally did not escape the eyes of the Hong Kong media.

Not to mention TVB and Rediffusion Television, even the Oriental Daily News, which is wholly owned by Fang Hexuan, couldn't help but flatter its boss.

After all, they actually received the bonus in real money.

Many newspapers followed up and interviewed employees from Fang Hexuan's companies.

The tracking results lead to the conclusion that Fang Hexuan is the richest man in Hong Kong and has retained the title of "Hong Kong's Good Boss" for two consecutive years.

His 11 mainland bodyguards are naturally his employees, so they also received generous salaries and bonuses before the Spring Festival.

This does not include the extra red envelopes given to them by Lu Qiaoling, the richest mother.

When Xu Guohua and 11 other people first came to Hong Kong, Fang Hexuan promised them that the minimum annual salary plus bonus would start at 30 Hong Kong dollars.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the salaries, bonuses and red envelopes they deserve have been paid to them in advance.

Fang Hexuan directly asked his financial manager to withdraw cash from the bank and handed a bag full of cash to the captain Xu Guohua.

Since they came here on September 9th last year, it has been exactly four months now, January 25th.

A total of 11 million Hong Kong dollars were paid to 240 people, of which 6 received 15 Hong Kong dollars each, which is the lowest level of compensation.

Among the remaining few people, three each received 3 Hong Kong dollars, which is considered a medium level.

Deputy captain Yan Hongsheng received 40 Hong Kong dollars, while captain Xu Guohua received 50 Hong Kong dollars.

After distributing the money to a few people, everyone was stunned and didn't dare to speak.

Finally, Zheng Erniu, the most aggressive man from Northeast China, couldn't help but ask:
"Captain Xu, did you make a mistake? We've only been working for four months, why are you giving us so much?"

"Take them all. Mr. Fang said that he and his family are very satisfied with our security work, so he decided to give us a raise."

"But, but this is too much. My goodness, the 20 Hong Kong dollars I took would be equivalent to or RMB. How can this be considered a concept? Even a millionaire is rare in my hometown now!"

"Besides, we have been living and eating at their place for the past few months. Jiang Ping just caught a cold last time and was taken to the hospital by Madam Lu. If it were in the mainland, they wouldn't take it seriously at all."

"Also, look at our suits and leather shoes. Oh, yes, there are also various daily necessities and sports shoes and sportswear. They were all bought by others. I always feel embarrassed."

"Stop talking nonsense. I would like to return it to Mr. Fang, but he said directly that there is no reason to take back the money that has been taken out."

Deputy Captain Yan Hongsheng interrupted and said seriously:

"Don't be so hypocritical. Before we came here, the organization had already made it clear to us that Mr. Fang is the richest man in Hong Kong. If he really wants to give us more money, we will take it. We will work harder and more carefully in the future to repay his generosity."

"Also, you can either go to the Bank of China to exchange your money into RMB and bring it back to the mainland, or remit it directly back home through the Hong Kong branch's account. Don't bring Hong Kong dollars back with you."

"Also, Captain Xu and I have discussed that since this is the first year, it is not convenient for everyone to go back home for the New Year." "Therefore, we can only arrange for four of the 11 people to go back, and the remaining seven will continue to work in two shifts."

"Jiang Ping and Yang Huijuan, you two cannot go back. The situation is special and we don't have enough manpower. Please understand."

"understand!"

After the meeting, Xu Guohua and Yan Hongsheng got together to talk about writing a work report.

At the end, Yan Hongsheng asked curiously:
"Lao Xu, how do you plan to spend the 50 yuan?"

"Hey, what else can I use it for? I don't have many people in my family, so it won't cost much. I guess I can save most of it."

"I plan to send all the remaining money to the families of the fallen comrades. I feel like I owed them the money because I'm still alive!"

"Yeah. I have the same idea as you."

"I originally thought I would die in that war, but I didn't expect that I would be the one who survived in the end!"

"Old Yan, don't think too much. We don't live for ourselves. We have a heavy burden on our shoulders!"

"Well, have you decided which four people to send back to visit their relatives during the New Year?"

"Just Li Qingmin, Fan Zegui, Cao Bin, and Zheng Erniu."

"Well, I agree. That's settled."

······
Fang Hexuan, the boss, was very considerate. He gave the 11 mainland bodyguards a day off.

Let them do some shopping in Hong Kong.

Of course, the two captains were very aware and still followed Mr. Fang, the richest man.

The other nine people took turns going out in batches to buy New Year's goods.

In fact, there was not much they could buy. After all, except for four of them, the others had to stay in Hong Kong.

These New Year goods can only be transported back to the mainland via China Resources Company’s freight trains and then delivered to homes by post.

There are thousands of kilometers of distance in between, and there are too many things, so some of them might be lost.

Therefore, shopping is secondary, and going out shopping together is their main concern.

Even though they have been in Hong Kong for more than 100 days, and even though they often travel around Hong Kong several times in their Mercedes-Benz,

But these eleven people have never really experienced the real customs and culture of Hong Kong.

The first four people who went out in the morning were the ones who were arranged to return to the mainland to celebrate the New Year.

A Mercedes-Benz is their only means of transportation for traveling around Hong Kong and shopping.

It was still Zheng Erniu, a big man from Northeast China, who spoke first:
"Hey, guys, how much money is in the red envelope that Madam Lu gave you?"

"2 million Hong Kong dollars!"

The other three answered almost in unison.

"Haha, me too, it seems everyone is the same!"

"Aniu, your brain is really not worthy of such a strong body. We know it without asking, but you just understand it now!"

"Get lost, you're the only smart one."

The few of them spent the whole morning in this kind of joking and chatting.
