Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

On the evening of Future Technology Group's annual meeting, the entire venue was filled with excitement, especially for those employees who were lucky enough to win prizes in the lucky draw.

Lin Hai, a recent undergraduate graduate who joined the company last July, became one of the luckiest people tonight.

When the host called out his table number, he jumped up excitedly - he actually won a Motorola V3C mobile phone worth three thousand yuan!

For Lin Hai, this mobile phone was a godsend.

Normally, he would not be willing to spend so much money to buy such an expensive mobile phone.

Looking back, the company’s benefits have always been very generous: 600 yuan shopping cards were given out during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, and 1,000 yuan shopping cards were given out during the Spring Festival.

Today, in addition to this unexpected mobile phone, he also received a year-end bonus equivalent to two months' salary like other colleagues.

Those colleagues who perform well will get more year-end bonus.

Lin Hai feels very proud of the company's series of welfare benefits.

Tonight, several classmates from the graduating class were enthusiastically discussing their respective companies' year-end bonuses in their groups.

At first, Lin Hai was a little embarrassed to share, but after being asked by his classmates, he finally replied:

"A year-end bonus of two months' salary, plus a 1,000 yuan shopping card.

Oh, and I was lucky enough to win a Motorola V3C." After sending the message, he also attached a photo of the shiny new phone.

Lin Hai's reply immediately caused a wave of envy in the group. Everyone said that Lin Hai's company values ​​​​employees and the boss is generous.

Chen Hao exclaimed, "Oh my God, Lin Hai, your company is so generous!"

Li Xiaofeng regretted it very much: "If I had known that Future Technology Group was so good, I should have submitted my resume during the campus recruitment.

Our company said that new graduates who have not worked for six months will not receive a year-end bonus, and only received a hundred yuan holiday allowance, which is less than what regular employees receive.

It's so annoying and so disheartening. Aren't fresh graduates employees?"

Chen Hao echoed this, saying, "It's the same in our company. New graduates don't get year-end bonuses. We're a state-owned enterprise, and we have to have a one-year internship. That's way too long. We're training every day, and we learn all sorts of useless stuff."

Li Xiaofeng: "Lin Hai, is your company still hiring? I'm thinking of switching jobs there."

Lin Hai replied: “We are recruiting, but this year’s campus recruitment plan is more stringent.

I heard that this year they enrolled 10 doctoral students, 30 master's students and 160 undergraduate students.

Most undergraduates come from key universities, which are much harder to get into than last year. Masters and doctoral students are all graduates from prestigious universities, many of whom are top students from Sun Yat-sen University and South China University of Technology.

Li Xiaofeng sighed: "That's amazing! The threshold is getting higher and higher. It's really hard to get into your company now. Lin Hai, you are so lucky."

Lin Hai replied modestly: "I am indeed very lucky. If I had graduated a year later, I might not have had the opportunity to join this company."

Lin Hai received a lot of envy in the group, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.

Looking back, his grades were actually just above average in the class, and there were many students who were better than him.

However, he found a better job than those classmates with better grades.

This made him sigh that sometimes choices are indeed more important than simple efforts.

However, Lin Hai also knew that this did not mean that his future would be better than that of all his classmates.

After all, the future is full of variables and no one can predict it.

The workplace is like a marathon; true success requires long-term effort and persistence.

……

The next afternoon,

Hao Qiang, Han Qingying and Wu Hai set off for home in a Rolls-Royce Phantom, driven by the company's bodyguard and driver.

Another driver accompanied Han Qingying in her Porsche Cayenne for her use during the Spring Festival.

As Hao Qiang's status and position have improved, he needs a driver to help him travel during this year's Spring Festival, as he still has a lot of official business to handle during the holiday.

The two bodyguards are destined to spend the Spring Festival at Hao Qiang's home this year, and can only take turns going home to celebrate the New Year next year.

The convoy was huge, with a Cayenne in the lead and a Rolls-Royce Phantom following closely behind, heading towards Hao Qiang's hometown in Guangxi Province. Passers-by on the road cast curious and envious glances at them.

Wu Hai sat in the passenger seat, while Han Qingying and Hao Qiang leaned comfortably in the back seat.

"Brother Qiang, your car is so comfortable and stable, much better than your Cayenne." Wu Hai exclaimed excitedly, feeling the unique riding experience.

This is the third year that Wu Hai has gone home with Hao Qiang to celebrate the New Year. The experience is different every year, and he has witnessed the rapid development of Hao Qiang's company.

Brother Qiang's career is booming. It's quite interesting that he brings home a luxury car of a different brand every year.

Hao Qiang smiled calmly: "You get what you pay for. There are indeed some differences."

Wu Hai continued, "Every year I go home for the Lunar New Year in a different car. This year it's a Rolls-Royce Phantom, and I wonder what it will be next year."

Hao Qiang fell into deep thought. If the company had its own car brand in the future, he would naturally choose a car under his own company brand.

But the feeling of accomplishment from riding in a car of your own company’s brand must be even more special.

On the morning of the third day,

A Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly drove into Fuqiang Road, the main road of Hualong Village.

Hao Qiang was somewhat curious about the changes in his hometown. He lowered the car window slightly and looked carefully at the scenery outside.

The wide one-way dual carriageway is lined with lush green belts on both sides and in the middle.

Outside the green belt are vegetable greenhouse bases, each of which is equipped with a fully automatic irrigation system.

Villagers no longer need to laboriously fetch water from the pond and water their vegetables with plastic spoons as they did before.

Noticing that his boss was admiring the countryside, the driver considerately slowed down the car.

"Boss, your hometown is so beautiful." The driver exclaimed sincerely.

Hao Qiang smiled and said, "It can be done if you have money, but it does cost a lot. The road construction alone cost several million, not to mention the investment in the thousands of acres of vegetable greenhouses, which cost tens of millions of yuan."

"Yes, fortunately we have your support, boss." The driver agreed.

“In fact, money is just a small matter. The most important thing is whether we can change the villagers’ mindset.

As long as the villagers' mindsets change for the better, the village will gradually get better even without my financial support," Hao Qiang said thoughtfully.

"That makes sense."

"You know, our village used to be dirty and messy, maybe even worse than your hometown."

"Boss, our village is very poor. All the capable people have moved to the city to settle down and are unwilling to come back."

"It's human nature, and we can't blame others. It's really not easy to change the entire environment."

The driver fell silent after hearing this and concentrated on driving the vehicle.

Along the way, the villagers saw this unfamiliar luxury car and looked at it curiously.

When they recognized Hao Qiang in the car, they all greeted him enthusiastically in Hakka: "The big boss is back!"

After a while, the Rolls-Royce Phantom drove past the big banyan tree in the village.

Hao Qiang noticed that there were only a few old people sitting idly under the tree.

In the past, villagers liked to gather under the big banyan tree to chat, play cards and mahjong, and talk about the lottery. But now they are busy growing vegetables or running electric motorcycle stores in other places and have no time for these things.

Not far from the big banyan tree, there is a spacious parking lot covering more than ten acres.

At this time, two large trucks were parked there, and several villagers were busy weighing and loading fresh vegetables.

Hao Qiang has realized that Hualong Village has undergone earth-shaking changes from infrastructure to villagers' lifestyles.
