One Yuan First Recharge: I'm Actually the Boss Behind a Fortune 500 Company

After dealing with the resignations of the three salespeople, Zhang Wei didn't delay and immediately instructed the administration to notify all employees that a meeting would be held in the conference room in ten minutes.

The news immediately sparked a flurry of discussion within the company.

"A meeting? What kind of meeting?"

"Is this the first formal meeting since the company changed its strategy?"

"I don't know, could it be that they're about to announce something big?"

"What big deal could it be? It's just selling accident-damaged cars..."

The employees whispered among themselves as they walked toward the meeting room in twos and threes.

The meeting room was small, and with more than a dozen people crammed inside, it felt somewhat crowded.

Wu Feng also arrived. He sat on one side of the conference table. When he saw Zhang Wei come in, he stood up and gestured for everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

The meeting room gradually quieted down.

Wu Feng cleared his throat and said:

"The main purpose of today's meeting is to announce a few things to everyone."

"First of all, starting today, I am officially stepping down from the company's day-to-day management."

Upon hearing this, the employees below looked at each other in surprise.

Wu Feng continued:

"Mr. Zhang Wei will be fully responsible for all matters of the company from now on."

"Zhang Wei is the person in charge sent by Xingyue Media, and he is also our company's new general manager."

He paused, then looked at Zhang Wei:

"Now, please welcome Mr. Zhang to speak to everyone."

After speaking, Wu Feng sat down.

Sparse applause rang out in the conference room.

It's clear that the employees are not quite used to this sudden change.

Zhang Wei walked to the front of the conference room and, without any pleasantries, began to speak:

"Everyone, my name is Zhang Wei, and I will be the person in charge of this company from now on."

His voice was loud and clear, and his eyes swept over everyone present.

"I know that everyone goes to work to earn money."

"That's why I don't talk to you about ideals or ambitions—those are all empty words."

Zhang Wei's tone was very direct:

"Going to work if you're not there to earn money is just being a scoundrel."

"So today at this meeting, I'll only talk about money, benefits, and what advantages everyone can get."

The atmosphere in the meeting room changed noticeably after those words were spoken.

The employees, who had been somewhat listless, suddenly brightened up.

Everyone likes an honest boss.

"First, there's the issue of wages."

Zhang Wei pulled a piece of paper from his pocket, on which was the data he had just compiled:

"I've looked into it; the base salary for sales positions in our company is currently three thousand yuan."

"Starting next month, the base salary for all sales staff will be increased by two thousand—to five thousand."

He paused, then added:

"Of course, there are KPI assessments. If an employee fails to meet the targets for two consecutive months, the company will consider dismissing them."

"I hope everyone understands this."

Upon hearing this, a low gasp of surprise rippled through the conference room.

"A base salary of five thousand?"

"Did I hear that right?"

"Three thousand was already considered good before, now it's five thousand?"

The salespeople looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.

For those of them selling used cars, their main income does come from commissions; the base salary is just a guarantee.

But when the amount increased from three thousand to five thousand, the protection was nearly doubled!

It's worth noting that in the provincial capital's used car industry, the base salary for sales is generally between two and three thousand yuan.

Five thousand?

I've never even heard of it!

Zhang Wei ignored everyone's reactions and continued:

"Except for sales positions, the base salary for all administrative and service positions will be increased by 1,500 yuan."

This statement was another bombshell.

The young female administrative and customer service staff sitting at the back of the conference room stared wide-eyed.

"My base salary is 2,800, so if I add 1,500, it'll be 4,300?"

A young girl whispered a question to her colleague next to her.

"Me too!"

"Oh my god, this...this is way too much!"

Another little girl covered her mouth, afraid that she would scream.

Looking at everyone's expressions, Zhang Wei felt very satisfied.

This is exactly the effect he wanted.

"Alright, does anyone have any questions about the salary adjustment?" Zhang Wei asked.

Silence fell over the meeting room.

Everyone was still in shock.

"No...no problem!" A young salesperson was the first to react and said loudly.

"Yes! No problem!"

"Mr. Zhang, this adjustment is fantastic!"

Other employees echoed this sentiment.

Who would have a problem? Is there a problem with paying more?

Only an idiot would have a problem!

Zhang Wei nodded and continued:

"The second thing is that, starting today, the company will officially pay social insurance and housing fund contributions for all employees."

"and--"

He paused deliberately, and seeing that everyone was listening intently, he continued:

"It's not paid according to the lowest standard on the market."

"It is paid in full according to the standards for civil servants."

"boom--"

The meeting room completely erupted!

If the increase in base salary was a pleasant surprise, then this five social insurances and one housing fund is truly astounding!

"Civil servant standards?"

"Did I hear that right, Mr. Zhang?"

A middle-aged administrative woman couldn't help but stand up, her voice trembling slightly:

"Mr. Zhang, you mean... we'll pay the highest possible rates for pension and medical insurance?"

Zhang Wei nodded affirmatively:

"Yes, it will be done entirely according to civil servant standards."

"The same applies to the housing provident fund; the company and the individual each contribute 12%."

The woman plopped back down in her chair and muttered:

"My God... I've worked in administration for over ten years, and I've changed companies seven or eight times, and I've never seen anything like this..."

Another veteran salesperson also said excitedly:

"Mr. Zhang, do you know what this means?"

"This means our pensions after retirement will be more than double that of ordinary company employees!"

"And then there's the medical insurance reimbursement rate, the housing provident fund loan limit..."

He became more and more agitated as he spoke:

"These benefits are even better than those of state-owned enterprises!"

The meeting room erupted in excitement.

Everyone understands what this "civil servant standard" means.

It's not as simple as just a few hundred dollars more per month.

That's real, lifelong protection!

Zhang Wei waited until everyone calmed down a bit before continuing:

"Third, the company provides each employee with a housing allowance and commuting allowance of 1,000 yuan per month."

"This 1,000 yuan will be directly deposited into your salary account without deducting taxes."

"In addition, the company provides two meals—lunch and dinner."

"We will hire a professional cook to ensure that everyone eats healthy and nutritious meals."

Even Wu Feng couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He knew that Xingyue Media offered good benefits, but he didn't expect them to be this good.

Housing subsidy?

Commute allowance?

Two meals included?

This treatment is absolutely top-notch in the provincial capital!

Fourth, work hours will be adjusted.

Zhang Wei glanced at his watch:

"We sell used cars, so there are fewer customers in the morning; there's no need to come too early."

"Therefore, starting tomorrow, the work hours will be adjusted to 10:30 AM."

"get off work ends at 5:30 PM."

There is a one-hour break at noon.

He paused, then emphasized:

"The company does not require overtime."

"After 5:30, you can leave whenever you want; no one will stop you."

"But if a customer comes to see the car and you want to earn more commission, you can voluntarily work overtime—the company won't object."

"In short, everything is voluntary."

After he finished speaking, another round of whispers broke out in the conference room.

"Work starts at 10:30 and ends at 5:30?"

"Can we take an hour off at noon?"

"This...this is so awesome!"

A young salesperson couldn't help but whisper to his colleague next to him:

"I used to work at another car dealership. I had to be there at eight in the morning and often stayed up until eight or nine at night."

"We also have to work shifts on Saturdays and Sundays..."

"My working hours are even easier now than when I was in college!"

His colleague nodded in agreement:

"The key is that overtime isn't mandatory!"

"My former boss was always talking about 'wolf culture,' forcing us to work overtime without paying it..."

"Now it's great, you can add if you want, or leave if you don't."

"That's what you call humane!"

Zhang Wei listened to the discussions below and understood the situation.

He knew that these benefits were gradually dispelling the employees' concerns.

"Alright, everyone, please be quiet."
