Chapter 290 Celebrating the Spring Festival

Year-end bonuses have existed in our country for a long time. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, as soon as the twelfth lunar month arrived, the emperor began to issue year-end bonuses to civil and military officials.

"Han Guan Yi" records that one item of "La gift" is as follows: general, three princes each receive 200,000 yuan, 200 kilograms of beef, 200 dendrobium of japonica rice, special Jin, 150,000 marquis, 100,000 ministers, 50,000 school captains, and 3 ministers.

Ten thousand, 20,000 each for servants, generals, and officials, 7,000 each for thousand shi, six hundred shi, 3,000 for Hu Ben Lang and Yu Lin Lang.

It is said that the monthly salary of Sangong and General was only 17,500 yuan at that time. This year-end bonus was equivalent to a year's salary.

In Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory in management, year-end bonuses can be used as motivating factors to make employees work harder.

Herzberg believes that a company's environment is good and there are snacks and fruits, which are all health factors and can only soothe employees' dissatisfaction. Only motivating factors such as work achievements and year-end bonuses can motivate employees to work harder.

Moreover, only annual rewards such as year-end bonuses have enough scarcity to generate sufficient incentives.

Bai Zhirui concluded by saying: "The payment of year-end bonuses can give employees a greater sense of belonging to my company and encourage them to perform better for the company."

Lou Xiao'e said: "Zi Rui, your company not only has so many days off during the Spring Festival, but also gives out year-end bonuses. After the news spreads, won't it put our companies on the fire? Especially those British-funded foreign companies, they will definitely hate you.

Teeth itchy.

Don’t we have to be in line with your company next year, otherwise employees will jump to your company and we can’t even recruit employees, so how can the company continue to operate?”

January 24, 1982, New Year's Eve. Everyone started busy early in the morning, pasting Spring Festival couplets, pasting door gods, decals, sweeping dust, worshiping ancestors, and happily eating the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.

The most important part of the New Year's Eve dinner is the dumplings, which are made with shrimps, three delicacies, and pork and green onions. How can you live without dumplings during the New Year? Some customs don't just throw them away.

Bai Zirui said: "There will be a fireworks show at Victoria Bay tonight. Let's go over there early after dinner to watch it."

He Xiao clapped her hands and said happily: "Okay!...Okay! In the past, my grandpa and grandma accompanied me and my mother to watch the fireworks show. This year, my father finally accompanied me."

He Yuzhu touched his head and said lovingly: "Son, don't worry! Dad will accompany you to watch the fireworks every year from now on."

Lou Xiao'e said: "I bought a yacht, let's watch it on the Victoria Sea."

After the New Year's Eve dinner, everyone took a car to the port and boarded the yacht through the VIP channel. Sailing towards the distance, looking at the brightly lit Victoria Harbor, the sea breeze blew in our faces from time to time.

There were already many yachts on the sea, and many people came to Victoria Harbor on fishing boats. The sea was very lively, and everyone was patiently waiting for the fireworks show to start.

"Chirp...pop!" The fireworks show began.

He Xiao pointed to the fireworks exploding in the sky and said enthusiastically: "Mom, look at the fireworks, they are so beautiful!"

Fireworks bloom in the sky, lighting up the beautiful Victoria Harbor, like a peacock spreading its tail, a goddess scattering flowers, or colorful flower umbrellas, reflecting beautiful patterns on the sea.

Countless fireworks rushed into the sky, blooming like a hundred flowers blooming with beautiful petals. Countless fireworks used their petals to bring the atmosphere of Victoria Harbor to a climax. Colorful fireworks were reflected on the sea, and citizens on both sides of the strait

They all shouted excitedly.

Xu Jingli said in admiration: "It's really spectacular. I have never seen such a spectacular scene in the capital."

"Boom, boom, boom..."

A large number of fireworks poured down from the sky, forming a red and golden waterfall extending towards the opposite side, with the momentum of "flying down three thousand feet".

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, happy new year! Happy new year!"

Earth-shattering shouts came from both sides of Victoria Harbor, and countless citizens began to congratulate each other on the arrival of the New Year.

On the first day of the new year, everyone gets up early. The new year is full of hope. After eating a delicious meal of dumplings, we go out and drive to Kowloon. On the first day of the new year, we go to Wong Tai Sin Temple to offer incense, which symbolizes the new year.

Have a good start.

It is estimated that a lot of people were queuing up for Touzhuang Xiang last night. Xiangjiang pays more attention to Feng Shui than in China, especially the wealthy tycoons in Xiangjiang pay even more attention to Feng Shui.

Wong Tai Sin Temple, also known as Sik Sik Yuen, was built in 1945. It is one of the famous scenic spots in Kowloon, Hong Kong, and one of the most famous temples in Hong Kong. It enjoys a prestigious reputation and is well known by everyone. It is popular every year during the Lunar New Year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, citizens compete for the first incense stick.

According to legend, Wong Tai Sin, also known as Red Pine Fairy, is widely known for his practice of medicine to help the world. It is said that Wong Tai Sin enshrined in the temple is able to respond to all requests, and his signatures are very effective.

Chinese people in Southeast Asia believe in Mazu the most. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, the incense is even more prosperous. Some sailors who go to sea also go to the Mazu temple to pray for peace.

There was a traffic jam all the way, and it was already eleven o'clock when Bai Zirui and others arrived at Wong Tai Sin Temple. They were not here to offer incense, they were just to see people. Seeing the people queuing up to offer incense, they felt very stressed.

People lined up to enter, bought flowers and water as tributes, entered the temple, took 9 incense sticks and donated 5 mosquitoes, burned incense, kowtowed and prayed, and then walked out of the temple.

We ate some snacks at the temple fair and walked around for more than an hour. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon when everyone returned to Chunxi Jingyuan, and they were exhausted.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Bai Zirui and Xu Jingli, along with Lou Xiao'e and He Yuzhu, went to Lou's house to pay New Year's greetings. They stayed at home from the third to the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to formulate the New Year's development plans for the two companies.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the two companies started work, and they went to work on the first day of the new year. Bai Zirui got up early, carrying nearly 2,000 stuffed into a big schoolbag. He had prepared red envelopes for the start of work years ago, and rushed to the Causeway Bay store by car to start work.

To make a profit means to have good fortune.

"Lishi" is also called "good things", which means good fortune and good luck. In Guangdong Province and Hong Kong, there is a custom of "distributing Lishi" and "making fun of Lishi" during the Chinese New Year.

Everyone from billionaires to ordinary people will give out bonuses. The bonuses are the same for every employee regardless of their size. They are not linked to performance and do not change the nature of the bonuses.

The boss distributes start-of-work packets to his subordinates, just like having New Year's Eve dinner with them. It can create a feeling of a big family, increase employees' sense of belonging to the company, and make the relationship between employees and the company closer.

Starting work symbolizes good intentions, so the profit itself does not need to be "big". The purpose of giving out red packets during the New Year is to spend money happily. When you give out red packets, you must see smiling faces. This packet of red packets is

It was like finding a piece of joy, and both parties were in high spirits.

During the New Year, in addition to giving out red chips to employees, you should also give red chips to waiters when you go to restaurants, elders should give red chips to children, and give red chips to unmarried friends.

Bai Zirui said to the receptionist Fang Miaoxia awkwardly in half-baked Cantonese: "Forty thousand yuan, beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes."

Fang Miaoxia smiled and said in Mandarin: "Boss, you are so handsome that you have had pig hair."

Bai Zirui laughed loudly and said: "Okay! I won't pretend anymore. I wish everyone a happy New Year, good luck, and good health. Come... come and make money."

People laugh when the New Year comes, and flowers bloom to welcome the spring. The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and drives away worries and worries. The photos of colorful fireworks are as good as heaven on earth. The New Year welcomes a new atmosphere, and I wish all my book friends a happy New Year!
