Chapter 230 Dongfang Yasong Company Annual Meeting 2
The annual meeting of Dongfang Yasong Company was held in the form of a banquet at a hotel near the company.
When Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing arrived at the hotel, everyone else was already there. Li Su let Shen Yao and Lan Qin go in and take their seats first, while he waited for Shen Wancheng at the hotel entrance.
In fact, Li Su could have delegated the task of greeting guests to his general manager's assistant, since the assistant was the actual manager of the company. However, Li Su insisted on greeting guests himself. He did not feel that this was contrary to his status as general manager, nor did he think that such behavior was too obsequious.
Li Su always remembered that everything he had now was thanks to Shen Wancheng's appreciation. Although he was in charge of managing Dongfang Yasong, every important decision that led to the company's success was made by Shen Wancheng. Li Su never had any thought of taking credit for it.
When Li Su saw Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing's car arrive, he immediately went to greet them, and his assistant also opened the car door for Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing before the hotel staff could.
"Chairman Shen, Mr. Gu, good afternoon."
"There was a bit of traffic on the way, so I'm late. Why are you still waiting outside to greet me? You're too kind."
"It's all what I should do."
Li Su walked beside Shen Wancheng, and the three of them went inside together.
At the same time, Li Su was also telling Shen Wancheng about the annual meeting.
"As per Chairman Shen's request, all 80 employees of the company will attend our annual meeting. This is also the first large-scale dinner gathering in our company."
Shen Wancheng nodded, "This little thing is no problem for you."
Oriental Elegance has a market value of 10 billion yuan, but only 80 employees, which is indeed quite few.
It's because Shen Wancheng makes luxury goods, which don't require mass production. This means there are fewer ordinary employees in the production process, thus reducing the number of jobs available.
However, because there are not many employees, the benefits distributed among each employee are also better.
After Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing arrived, the company's annual meeting officially began.
The host of the annual meeting was the head of the human resources department recruited by Li Su. She was a generous and cheerful woman who spoke confidently and without any stage fright. It was clear that she had hosting experience.
"Dear colleagues, welcome to our company's first annual meeting. Although the company has only been established for two months, we have already achieved nearly 300 million in revenue. This is an impressive achievement for any company. Now, would you all like to join me in praising ourselves? Aren't we amazing?"
"Cattle!"
Except for a few employees who were embarrassed and just covered their mouths to laugh, most people shouted in unison.
"Cattle!"
Will we achieve even greater success in the new year?
"meeting!"
Shen Wancheng hadn't expected this segment to be part of the opening, and she asked Li Su with a smile.
"Who came up with this idea?"
Li Su was unsure of Shen Wancheng's attitude, wondering if Shen Wancheng would think that such a shout was too vulgar, so he explained.
"Huang Jiajia came up with the script herself, but I suggested the key points of the content. I told her to start by emphasizing the company's performance over the past two months and then motivate the employees."
Shen Wancheng smiled and said, "Then she did a great job."
Generally speaking, simply praising a high-performing employee's sense of pride is limited. However, if the company also brings tangible benefits to the employee's performance, then such praise will be much more effective.
Sure enough, after introducing the company's shareholders and senior management, including Shen Wancheng, Shen Yao, and Li Su, who had come tonight, Huang Jiajia made the announcement.
"This year, the company has prepared a generous year-end bonus for everyone!"
Huang Jiajia paused briefly at this point, and a cheer immediately erupted from the audience.
"Not only that, we've also prepared a lucky draw with prizes including pagers, home appliances, and even a Shanghai-brand sedan and a Beijing Jeep. In addition, there's a 'thousand-square-foot mansion'!"
During the lucky draw, Shen Wancheng gave Li Su a budget of HK$500,000. In some areas of Hong Kong Island where housing prices are cheaper, a so-called "thousand-square-foot mansion" actually costs only HK$200,000 to HK$300,000, but it sounds like the company is very wealthy.
Indeed, after Huang Jiajia announced the prizes, the cheers from the audience lingered for a long time.
Huang Jiajia let the cheering of these people for a minute before continuing.
"Before the lucky draw, let's invite the company's general manager, Mr. Li, to give the opening speech for the annual meeting."
After Li Su took the stage, Shen Yao, who was next to Shen Yao, suddenly whispered to Shen Wancheng.
"Sis, aren't you the head of the company? Why did Li Su go on stage to speak first?"
Shen Yao had only a vague understanding of the job system in modern companies; she was simply curious.
Actually, Shen Yao was right. It would be more reasonable for Shen Wancheng to give a speech first at this point, but Li Su is the world manager of the company's daily affairs, so it wouldn't be a problem for him to go on stage first.
The main reason for this is that Shen Wancheng doesn't care much about it.
But after Li Su took the stage to speak, Shen Wancheng understood why Li Su had spoken before her.
Li Su took the stage and spoke.
"Dongfang Yasong has been established for less than 100 days. I have been fortunate to witness and experience its birth and growth. In this process, the person I am most grateful to and fortunate to have met is our company's chairman, Ms. Shen Wancheng."
"Many people may not know that before Oriental Song was registered and established, I was just an ordinary employee working at a horse farm. I am very fortunate that Chairman Shen was able to discover my strengths and appreciate me under such circumstances."
"I will always remember that afternoon when Chairman Shen found me..."
"Chairwoman Shen's vision and talent are among the best I have ever met. The reason I am standing here today is entirely because of Chairwoman Shen. I believe that Chairwoman Shen will become the most successful woman in Hong Kong's business circle. I also believe that she will lead Dongfang Yasong to become one of the top companies in Hong Kong. Furthermore, I believe that everyone here can realize their potential here as long as they keep up with the company's pace!"
Li Su's long speech was mostly praising Shen Wancheng, and he praised her sincerely, without making anyone feel that he was flattering her.
Those who listened to him couldn't help but be curious about Shen Wancheng. Could a woman have such vision and intelligence, and be so outstanding?
In this atmosphere, Li Su skipped over the host and spoke loudly at the end of his speech.
"Next, please welcome the chairman of our company, Dongfang Yasong, the true leader, to the stage to speak."
As soon as Li Su finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted below, and everyone's eyes turned to Shen Wancheng.
Shen Wancheng smiled at everyone and gracefully went on stage.
