Chapter 516: The Best Lucky One
"Next, let's invite our generous and handsome boss, Mr. Charlie Li, to present awards to the outstanding employees of the previous year." Before the host finished speaking, there was thunderous applause at the scene.
Li Zitao stood up, waved his hands to the surroundings, and walked towards the stage confidently.
Taking the microphone from the host, Li Zitao looked around with firm and confident eyes, and the applause gradually disappeared.
When the scene became quiet, he raised the microphone and said loudly; "Thank you for your applause, but these applause should not be given to me, but to everyone standing behind me."
"I believe their efforts are obvious to all, but I also believe that in every company, our outstanding employees are not only them—"
"The Blue and White Chamber of Commerce is a huge machine. Each of you is an indispensable part of this machine. Even if it is just a small screw, if it disappears, the whole machine will malfunction—"
"I hope that in the new year, we can create new miracles. Next year, more people will stand on this stage. Thank you for your efforts, thank you."
The short and powerful speech made the audience applaud again, and Li Zitao distributed the rewards prepared by the company to everyone.
These rewards are not imaginary medals or the like, they are all real things.
Either a promotion appointment letter, a cash check, or a shopping voucher from Hualian, which is enough for a family of five to live for a whole year.
Li Zitao was famous for his generosity, and as his subordinates, the executives of the subsidiaries would not be vain when rewarding them.
Therefore, the employees of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce and its subsidiaries know that something good has happened when they hear the reward.
The kind of situation where the leader calls you to give a compliment and tell you 'do a good job and go back' has never happened so far.
When presenting awards to employees, the male employee was quite restrained, just grabbed his hand and kept saying "thank you." Not daring to make the slightest move.
With two arms hanging by his side, it was just like a rag doll being hugged. It took more than ten minutes to award the rewards to everyone.
"Phew, I thought it was easy." After returning to his seat and sitting down, Li Zitao looked at Little Mary on the left and Yanyan on the right, and sighed weakly.
On the contrary, the two continued to watch the performance with relish, not knowing at all how Li Zitao wanted to escape right now.
"The annual meeting is coming to an end, but before that there is an important event...a lottery draw." The host waved his hand vigorously, and the scene instantly shouted loudly.
"Our most respected, handsome and legendary chairman will personally sponsor us $200,000, and 5 lucky audience members will be drawn at the scene."
200,000 US dollars, five people, an average of 40,000 US dollars per person, the host was interrupted by cheers and screams at the scene as soon as he finished speaking.
While everyone was shouting, someone on the stage approached the host and whispered something in her ear.
"Please be quiet, everyone... just now there is another good news, President Lawrence has decided to personally sponsor this event with a $100,000 donation."
Wow——
There was another burst of loud cheers at the scene. The employees who had just informed the host ran onto the stage again, and another executive generously donated money.
After going back and forth several times, the funds in the final lottery round accumulated to $710,000.
The number of lucky draws has also changed from the initial 5 people to 30 people, 1 special prize winner with a bonus of 200,000 yuan, 3 first prize winners with a bonus of 50,000 yuan, 10 second prize winners with a bonus of 20,000 yuan, 16 third prize winners with a bonus of 1 Wan, this link suddenly became the highlight of today's annual meeting.
Everyone whispered to each other about the high-level big money. Those who thought they were lucky were eagerly waiting. Even Li Zitao became interested, wanting to see who would be the winner of the special prize.
"The lottery draw will start next. There are slips of paper with all seat numbers here. A total of 20 people will be drawn. Now...start."
On the stage, a half-person-high cardboard box was moved in front of the host,
I saw the host bent down and put his hand in through the round hole above, stirred in it, and took out the notes one by one.
The 16 lucky winners of the third prize appeared first, and under the envious gaze of the crowd, the lucky ones walked onto the stage and took away their checks.
Then came the second prize. When these 10 people came to the stage, the atmosphere became even more enthusiastic, with screams and cheers ringing out non-stop.
When the first prize appeared, every time a name was pronounced, the eyes of the audience turned to where he was, and it was truly the focus of everyone's attention.
"Next, is our luckiest guy today. I think he will be unlucky after today, because he will use up all his luck."
Hearing the host's words, everyone laughed loudly, and then became nervous again. Those who were drawn had no hope, but for others, the grand prize might appear in any of them.
When the host put his hand into the box, the audience was silent, and the sound of paper slips being stirred and people swallowing saliva nervously could be heard in silence.
swish.
The host suddenly pulled out his hand and raised it above his head. The note between his fingertips touched the hearts of countless people.
Li Zitao also sat up straight from the sofa, looking at the stage with great interest.
"Who could it be?" Everyone in the surrounding atmosphere felt nervous. Little Mary clenched her fists and whispered to herself.
Yanyan's expression was exactly the same as hers, except that her hands were gripping the sofa vigorously, and her body kept leaning forward, as if she wanted to rush to the stage to read the name for the host.
"The answer to the mystery is about to be revealed... the luckiest person today is... No. 107." The host squeezed the microphone tightly, putting all his suppressed emotions into this cry.
On the 107th, the young guy from Ace was stunned on the spot, and his mind went blank. He didn't jump up until the host shouted three times, and then jumped up in the same excited shout.
"Yes, it's me, it's me." The young man rushed all the way to the stage, tears flying from excitement when receiving the award.
For his performance, everyone didn't think it was exaggerated, but thought that such a performance was normal.
200,000 US dollars is enough for an ordinary family to live a stable life for a lifetime. If you are not excited about this, you must be a rich person yourself.
All the lucky ones showed up, the grand prize was settled, and no matter whether others were envious or jealous, the annual meeting ended in a lively atmosphere.
"It's time to go home." Stretching his waist, Li Zitao glanced at the crowded No. 107 on the stage, turned around and left the venue with a smile.
"Charlie, let's go together, I have something to tell you." Lawrence walked over quickly, put his hand on his shoulder and said with a smile: "The development of the Golden Arches in the Soviet Union is good. Do we want to-"
