Bai Zirui saw everyone looking at him with eager eyes. He picked up a chopstick and tapped the bowl, and said slowly: "Then, should I give out this year-end bonus or not? I thought about it again and again, thought about it again and again, and considered it.

Again, study...".

An impatient employee interrupted him and said, "Mr. Bai, please stop being so pretentious. Will the year-end bonus you mentioned be paid or not?"

Bai Zirui knocked the bowl heavily and said loudly: "Okay! After careful consideration and research, I hereby decide to go to the finance department to collect the year-end bonus after everyone's dinner is over, okay?"

Employees from the two companies suddenly burst into warm applause, their hands turned red, and they shouted loudly: "Okay!"

"Long live Mr. Bai!"

Bai Zirui quickly pressed his hands down and said with a smile: "My brothers and sisters, please don't shout nonsense. Do you want me to come in and have free meals for a few days during this Chinese New Year?"

The employees burst out laughing when they heard his humorous words. After everyone laughed, Bai Zirui said with a flash of his hand: "Okay, I won't say much else. Let's eat, eat well! Drink well! But be sure to

Keep your head clear! Don’t wait until after the dinner party to put your year-end bonus into other people’s pockets, or your wife will make you kneel on the washboard when you go back.”

All the employees were amused by his wit and humor and laughed heartily. Then the year-end dinner began in a lively atmosphere. First, every employee came to the main table and toasted to Bai Zirui and He Yuzhu. They each responded to the employees' toasts.

Take a sip every time.

After the toast, everyone was basically an acquaintance of the educated youth, so they gathered together in small groups and chatted about their youthful days as educated youth. When they talked about something happy, they cheered together and exchanged drinks.

The dinner ended two hours later. Bai Zirui arranged for the financial personnel of the two companies to distribute year-end bonuses to everyone on the spot. An employee's year-end bonus is three months' salary. For managers, he personally distributes year-end bonuses, which can range up to 50,000.

As little as 10,000.

Chen Yuejin, Wang Weijun, and Sun Wenhao from the catering company all received year-end bonuses of 10,000 yuan. Sun Lijian and Meng Xiaoxing from the trading company received year-end bonuses of 50,000 yuan and 30,000 yuan respectively. Other educated youths who sold things with them last year

They also became managers of shopping malls, and most of their year-end bonuses were 10,000 yuan, directly turning them into households worth 10,000 yuan.

In 1980, RMB with a face value of 100 yuan was issued, and the year-end bonuses were directly packaged in yellow envelopes with different thicknesses, unlike the previous two years when the maximum face value was 10 yuan in a thick stack.

When giving year-end bonuses to each manager, Bai Zirui specifically told them to keep a low profile, otherwise they would cause unnecessary trouble. After all, there were not many households worth ten thousand yuan at this time.

When giving the year-end bonus to Meng Xiaoxing, she opened the envelope in front of Bai Zirui and counted the year-end bonus of 30,000 yuan. She immediately shouted excitedly: "Brother Zirui, you are so generous. If I didn't like it,

Brother Wuzi will definitely snatch you over."

Bai Zirui said with a mixture of laughter and laughter: "You girl is always neither old nor young. You have worked hard for a year. Come home and celebrate the New Year!"

Meng Xiaoxing carefully collected the money and left happily. After Bai Zirui distributed year-end bonuses to the managers and employees of the two companies, he carefully calculated that his income for the year had reached 10 million yuan, plus the previous

With 3 million yuan saved, his net worth has reached 12 million yuan, which was absolutely rare in the 1980s.

With so much money, he had to plan his development route carefully. He didn't want to end up like the Eight Kings of Wenzhou. After paying out the year-end bonus, he officially took a vacation until the end of the new year. Work started on February 10, 1981, the sixth day of the first lunar month.

It’s the Spring Festival again. After the Little New Year, as the calendar goes by, the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer. The Spring Festival is the most solemn and unique traditional festival among Chinese people. The streets and lanes are decorated with lights and colorful lights, and even the air is filled with joy.

Happy news. Every household is busy purchasing various New Year goods and carrying bags home. They are very busy.

On the night of New Year's Eve, the flavor of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger, and every household is setting off firecrackers. The fireworks are put into the sky, colorful and in different shapes, some are like fairy flowers, and some are like flowers blooming in the garden.

, and some look like naive pigs...

During the Spring Festival of 1981, Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen's family came to the He family's ancestral house to spend the festival together, and had a New Year's Eve dinner together to watch the New Year's Eve.

Cai Quanwu asked Bai Zirui: "The country's policies are not stable now, so you have to be careful."

Bai Zirui said with a smile: "Uncle, please don't worry! I have already made plans for next year."

Before we knew it, the New Year's bell rang in 1981. The past year waved goodbye to us, and a brand new year greeted us. From the first day of the new year, every household began to pay New Year greetings to each other, send blessings, and everyone wore festive clothes.

dressed up, with a happy smile on her face.

The happiest people during the Chinese New Year are of course the children. A well-mannered boy will secretly buy some firecrackers with his New Year's money and put them in his pocket. From time to time, he will take them out and make them pop. Even if they get scolding looks, they don't care, because during the Chinese New Year,

Even if there are deviant behaviors, children will not be beaten or scolded.

After the New Year, Bai Zirui took Xu Jingli to his uncle's house to pay New Year greetings. As soon as he arrived at his uncle's house, his aunt Chen Shuyu affectionately pulled Xu Jingli aside and whispered.

Uncle Ye Lingzhi said to Bai Zirui seriously: "Zirui, last year you opened more than 10 restaurants, fast food restaurants, and shops at the same time, causing a sensation in half of the capital and attracting thousands of people to the streets!

Even if you place your catering company and trading company in the canteen of Yenching University and the purchasing office of our Environmental Sanitation Bureau, don’t think everything will be fine, but you should also pay attention to the impact.”

Bai Zirui said respectfully: "Thank you uncle for reminding me, so I am going to maintain the status quo this year, and I have also made some plans. Sister Jingli and I are going to study abroad in Xiangjiang. It is a land that has been divisible in our country since ancient times. Although it is necessary to

When applying for passports and other procedures, it is still our territory and you have not left the country.

Firstly, I can avoid the limelight temporarily, and secondly, Xiangjiang is a capitalist society with free business development, so I can flex my muscles and come back to invest after domestic policies stabilize."

Ye Lingzhi nodded in agreement and said: "You have considered it very comprehensively. If you need uncle's help, just ask and I will do my best to help you."

Bai Zirui said gratefully: "Thank you, uncle!"

After Bai Zirui paid New Year's greetings to his uncle Ye Lingzhi, the next day he started gathering with various educated youth and classmates to expand his network, until the two companies started work on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

Bai Zirui came to the catering company early and gathered the employees of the trading company for a meeting. He took the microphone and said loudly: "Happy New Year, family! The new year opens new hopes, and the new beginning carries new dreams.

At this end of the year, Chang Xing can gather with his family and think about the future!

Now please allow me to express my gratitude! First of all, thank you to us, the colleagues of the company, for sharing the joys and sorrows with the company last year! I would also like to thank all the family members for your personal support and dedication! ...Finally, I wish all of you who have supported us

Happy New Year to my new friends, as well as to all the staff of the company and their families, may everything go well, may everything go smoothly, and may the whole family be happy!”
