Chapter 277: Dividends
Jiahe’s in-service dividend plan was formulated at the beginning of the year.
Dividends involve three parts: the company's middle and senior management, core backbones, and grassroots.
The dividend amount is determined by the position.
Only the right to dividends.
The incentive period is tentatively set at one year.
The condition for dividend distribution is that the company achieves its expected profit target.
When setting goals, the boss also specifically emphasized: "Don't set the tone too high, increase the number of grassroots positions, etc."
Everyone also knows that this year's goals will definitely be exceeded and huge profits will be made.
But there is also a lot of reinvestment expenditure.
In particular, the company has recently invested a lot of money in Jiahe Grain and Oil, as well as several saline-alkali land and desert transformation projects.
There are also a series of expansion missions...
None of us have a clear idea of how much money the boss is willing to give out as dividends.
How much is distributed depends entirely on the boss's decision.
Only then did I feel relieved.
20 to 30 billion yuan!
If we average it across the entire group, that would be more than 20,000 yuan per person.
Most other agricultural, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery enterprises do not even earn this much in annual salary, and this is only part of Jiahe’s salary structure.
As for senior management positions, the compensation received through dividends can also reflect their own value.
The applause in the conference room lasted for a long time!
Everyone's face was flushed, and they looked excitedly at the young boss sitting at the top.
Guo Yang waved his hand, and waited until everyone calmed down before saying, "Agricultural service is a job that requires long-term persistence. The on-the-job dividend plan will help stabilize and expand Jiahe's customer base."
"The company will continue to implement this plan this year and consider sticking to it for a long time."
Judging from the results this year, Jiahe’s customer satisfaction is very high, whether it is seeds or agricultural machinery.
This has caused many companies to follow suit, but Jiahe has the first-mover advantage and its service system is already mature.
There is also a gap in treatment between the company and other companies, and the psychological endurance of employees when facing farmers is completely different.
Under the guarantee of profitability, the rest are destined to follow suit.
……
The popularity of Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry and Tianhe Seed Industry on the Internet remains unabated, and many people are preparing to step into saline-alkali land improvement with the dream of getting rich.
But Xu Xiaoxue came to Jiuquan from the capital.
Heavy snow fell from the sky and condensed into frost on the branches.
It is in this inconspicuous northwestern Gobi city that lurks the giant of China's agricultural and animal husbandry industry.
From the moment you enter the industrial park, you will see factories built next to each other, with seed companies and food companies popping up one after another.
Domestic and foreign.
But everything is shrouded in a white world, with frost and snow in the north and thousands of miles of ice.
Until she arrived at Jiahe's door.
Walking into the gate, the ordinary factory building, but because of the embellishment of colors, it forms a colorful landscape.
Green, yellow, red, gold, blue, plants of various colors made her eyes widen in disbelief.
"Brother Chao, we can also take some pictures in this garden."
"Isn't Jiahe an agricultural company?" Photographer Ye Chao was also amazed by the bright colors in the snow.
"Tianhe seems to be in the flower seed business as well. Maybe this is also Tianhe's seed!"
Xu Xiaoxue had already squatted down, carefully looking at a small bunch of gradient blue and purple flowers, which were fresh and elegant.
This flower is so beautiful.
At this time, Li Yan from Jiahe's administrative personnel department came out and said with a smile: "Reporter Xu, welcome to Jiahe."
"Hello."
Xu Xiaoxue stood up and shook hands with him, then asked, "This garden was just built, right?"
Li Yan said: "Yes, the boss asked me to do it. The plants are all from our flower nursery."
"Oh, Tianhe has a flower nursery!" Xu Xiaoxue felt that Jiahe had changed a lot in the past two years. "The flowers are so beautiful!"
Li Yan smiled and said, "This flower is called 'Bounce Eyes'. I'll bring you a few bulbs when I leave."
"Bounce off the eyes?" Xu Xiaoxue blinked. She seemed to be completely attracted just now.
"The boss gave it the name."
"What is this?" Xu Xiaoxue asked curiously about the other plants.
“Golden Flame Spiraea.”
"Deutzia frostii...Yarrow spathulata...Chimera chinensis...This one seems to be called Viburnum. There are several species of Viburnum in the garden..."
Seeing Xu Xiaoxue attracted by the flowers, Ye Chao couldn't help coughing.
Xu Xiaoxue also came back to her senses, "Manager Li, we have an appointment with Mr. Qu for an interview."
Li Yan said, "Boss Qu is still in a meeting. He asked me to walk around with you first. He will come after the meeting is over."
"Oh."
Xu Xiaoxue raised her eyebrows, "How long will the meeting last?"
"It has been running since yesterday and should be finished this afternoon," said Li Yan.
Xu Xiaoxue thought for a moment and said, "Then let's go to the factory first!"
From Tianhe to Muhe, and then to Hexi Dairy, Xu Xiaoxue was becoming more and more surprised. Jiahe had changed so much.
……
Meeting time is boring.
Especially the brain has to keep working at a high intensity. Fortunately, after two days, the meeting finally ended.
Guo Yang also achieved his desired goal.
All the work has been completed and at the same time a new journey has begun.
The only imperfect thing is that Yu Honghai and Yu Xiaochuan will not be able to come back this year. The situation in the Middle East is relatively smooth, but the situation in Africa is more complicated.
Guo Yang thought that he might not be able to have much free time this year, so his ice fishing plan would probably be canceled.
Everyone was packing up the documents. At this time, Xie Shijie stood up and said loudly:
"Everyone will go directly to the Gobi Desert in a while. We have already arranged roasted camels and roasted whole lambs."
"Hahahaha...Boss Xie, you did a great job."
Gao De smiled and said, "I have never eaten roasted camel meat before. I have to thank Mr. Xie and Mr. Bao very much this time."
Bao Xinyu said: "This is the authentic Urad Gobi red camel, the taste is absolutely first-class!"
Guo Yang smiled and said loudly: "Then go over earlier. Guan Cheng, take the drone with you. We will go for a test flight first."
"I've asked the engineers to go over and prepare."
"Then follow along."
Guo Yang put away the notebook and put it back in the office, then asked Luo Xiu to drive to the door and wait for him, and prepared to set off.
During this period, many people were already making phone calls to arrange some urgent matters assigned at the meeting.
Some good news was also announced.
When Guo Yang walked to the door, he unexpectedly saw Xu Xiaoxue and other two.
Xu Xiaoxue, who was wearing a white down jacket, also saw Guo Yang. Her eyes lit up and she trotted over.
"Boss Guo, can I spare half an hour of your time to ask you some questions?"
Guo Yang shook his head and said, "Sorry, I have something else to do and I have to go out soon. Qu Yang is also done with his work and he is free."
"A few minutes is ok?"
"Next time, next time. I really don't have time today." Guo Yang smiled and got in after Luo Xiu drove the car over.
Xu Xiaoxue couldn't help but pout.
Several figures walked out of the office building one after another. She recognized some of them, such as Ji Zhuowen, Xie Shijie, etc., but there was no sign of Qu Yang.
She could only walk into the office building to look for it.
The staff in the office seemed very excited, and from time to time people gathered together to talk and discuss.
"Wow... the boss just announced at the meeting that this year the group will spend 20-30 billion yuan on dividends from the in-service profit sharing plan."
“What a generous boss!”
"I calculated that I can get more than 20,000 yuan. Although it is not as much as those sales staff, the dividend is higher than my husband's annual salary."
"Some of Tianhe's sales offices distribute dividends based on profit ratios, and most offices can get 200,000 or 300,000 yuan."
"Hiss...then at least each person can get more than 30,000!"
"There must be more than that..."
Hearing this news, Xu Xiaoxue was shocked. Two or three billion in dividends? Is this true?
Aren’t all domestic companies capitalists who only know how to exploit the demographic dividend and the bosses giving dividends to employees? Are there any bosses so generous?
Besides, Golden Harvest is a private company!
When she wanted to go up and ask, the staff saw the stranger and the photographer behind them and started to get busy again or talk about other things.
"There will be a company dinner later. We will grill camels in the Gobi Desert. Remember to take pictures and post them on QQ."
"Let your friends envy you..."
Xu Xiaoxue paused, thinking that this topic was probably made up on the spot, and then hurried to Qu Yang's office.
And then,
The news that the boss had decided to distribute generous dividends began to spread quickly within Golden Harvest.
In the work groups of some subsidiaries and offices, people were asking about the authenticity of the information.
There was no doubt that the response was affirmative.
In an instant, all the groups were in an uproar, and words such as "thank you boss" and "boss is generous" quickly filled the screen.
In a village in Xinjiang Province.
Two figures were leaning against the front of the car.
It snowed and the road was very slippery. Even with anti-skid chains installed, the pickup truck didn't dare to move forward.
"Brother Yang, the car can't be driven."
The man called Brother Yang took out two cigarettes, lit them, then took out his cell phone to check the time.
"Let's go. If we hurry, we can get there before dark. We can stay at the farmer's house for one night and come back tomorrow morning after we have repaired the machinery."
"Alas, this is the only way. I didn't expect this to happen before the New Year."
"No way."
Brother Yang saw that there were unread messages on QQ, but it was difficult to operate with gloves on, and it took him a while to click it.
When I saw the message interface that was flooding the screen, I was a little confused. I took a look and after I found out the whole story, my heart suddenly started pounding.
Brother Yang said loudly: "The group has decided to distribute dividends, 20 to 30 billion yuan!"
"Really?"
"President Pu has already confirmed it in the group!"
"That's great."
The two men were feeling upset in the snow, their faces flushed, their hands holding the cigarettes trembling from time to time, and they were silently calculating in their hearts.
The orders they placed for after-sales service, the number of field trips, and customer satisfaction all met the dividend requirements, and they also brought back a lot of sales orders.
Dividend money should be indispensable.
"Get your tools and get going."
Two figures, one deep and one shallow, disappeared in the snow.
Some graduates who had just joined Jiahe were also overwhelmed by the overwhelming wealth.
"This year's hard work and anger were not in vain."
"What's the point of being angry? If I meet that old man now, I can argue with him for half a month. I must explain the technology and product features to him clearly."
"No, I have to find a way to show off to my grandchildren, otherwise I will feel so uncomfortable."
"Don't show off. Go to the market now. Some farmers have started to prepare seeds. Go to more towns and sell more seeds. It's better than anything else."
"Damn, last time that old man insisted that the Japanese's evergreen pepper seeds were better, so I had to give him the correct one this year..."
All of a sudden.
Jiahe’s seed production, seed sales, technical services, agricultural machinery after-sales service, fresh milk distribution, planting bases... all burst out with high enthusiasm.
Jiahe's presence can be seen in the streets and alleys, fields and villages, mountains and valleys, and riverbanks.
……
In the Gobi Desert between Jiuquan and Jiayuguan, the cold wind blows from time to time, and it is a bit cold.
Kenaf and sea buckthorn have also lost their former beauty. When we arrived at the Gobi Desert project department, in addition to the board houses, many temporary felt tents were also built.
In the open space, the most eye-catching thing is a mud kiln made of loess, about 2 meters high, with a crane parked next to it.
The heat emitted by the mud kiln makes the surrounding area warmer.
Guo Yang teased, "Is this the place where they roast camels? They've even got a crane installed. Great, Mr. Xie."
Xie Shijie laughed and said, "There's no other way. A 700-jin red camel is really big."
Guo Yang looked around again. There were roasted whole lamb, beef, potatoes, fruits and vegetables, onions... all the ingredients were there, definitely enough to eat.
After confirming that there was no problem, Guo Yang, Guan Cheng and Pu Fei went to the sea buckthorn forest, where two men were already waiting with a drone.
Guan Cheng introduced it.
One of them is Mo Congwei, chief designer of Fengkai’s agricultural drone and an outstanding graduate of Harbin Institute of Technology.
The other person turned out to be Wang Tao from DJI, which surprised Guo Yang.
However, at this time, Wang Tao was still a newly graduated student, and the DJI team had just started research and development of drones.
If there hadn’t been Fengkai’s investment, we would probably still be designing helicopter controllers, and it would be another 5 to 6 years before we could produce our first product that would amaze the world.
This can be seen from the two drones on the scene. The large one is a plant protection drone, and the small one is an aerial photography drone.
They are all a little weird, especially the drone, which looks more like a helicopter.
It's far from the product I imagined.
Guo Yang said: "Tell me about it and let me try it."
Several people were a little surprised.
Guan Cheng said, "Boss, why don't we let Cong Wei and Wang Tao come?"
Guo Yang smiled, thinking that he was being underestimated. After all, he had used drones in his previous life. Only after experiencing it could he understand the difference more clearly.
"It's okay, just tell me briefly."
Guan Cheng had no choice but to arrange: "Cong Wei, teach the boss how to use it, and explain it in detail."
Pu Fei and Wang Tao were watching from the side. During the meeting, the boss had already appointed a new vice president of finance and proposed that two teams develop simultaneously.
But it can be seen that there is still some grudge between the two.
Guo Yang just smiled and didn't say much. Things are hard to be perfect. Then he learned about the situation of Jiahe's first generation of drones.
As he expected, the technical content of Fengkai's self-developed agricultural drone is obviously much higher.
Born out of the current industry benchmark: Yamaha crop protection drone.
载药量15kg、滞空时间20分钟,起飞重量35kg,喷洒效率每秒3~6米,大约每天300~500亩。
In Guo Yang's eyes, this parameter already makes it a relatively mature commercial agricultural drone.
However, Pu Fei previously believed that aerial survey and flight control were not yet mature.
Guo Yang tried to control the drone to fly. There were many buttons and semi-automatic flight control, which was a bit complicated.
It moved back and forth, left, right, up and down, and then the spraying system was turned on. It was very stable in this aspect.
All in all, it is absolutely qualified as a first-generation product.
Guo Yang glanced at Mo Congwei out of the corner of his eye. The young chief designer seemed very calm.
Not far away, Qu Yang and Xu Xiaoxue also rushed over, and photographer Ye Chao also recorded this test flight.
Some of Jiahe's employees who rushed over were also watching and talking on the side.
But the person who was most excited in the whole audience was Wang Tao, as it was the first time for him to see Fengkai's agricultural drone flying.
Its technological content was beyond his imagination. Why did Fengkai want to acquire DJI so much?
After a while, the drone returned.
Guo Yang said: "There are indeed some problems with the flight control, but it is definitely suitable for commercial use. What is the problem with the aerial survey?"
Pu Fei glanced at Guan Cheng and said:
"It's not very good at identifying obstacles. There are too many electric wires and poles in scattered fields in the south, and in the north, we need to use heavy-duty ones, which are too expensive."
Guo Yang asked: "How much is this machine priced at?"
"At 25 yuan, the price of a take-off weight of 110kg must be over 100 million yuan to have a certain profit margin."
Guo Yang raised his eyebrows. He had to admit that the cost was too high.
But this is a current hardware limitation.
The country does not provide relevant subsidies, and even now it has not been determined which department will be responsible for the plant protection drones.
After a moment's silence, Guo Yang said, "First, produce a batch for internal use within the group, train aerial sprayers, and research supporting pesticides. Only practice can lead to progress."
Lu Hanbin, who was listening nearby, came over and said, "The sand sea needs it. Spraying the Haloxylon ammodendron forest and small-scale aerial seeding can both be used."
"Look, here comes the use." Guo Yang said with a smile: "We can even consider using unmanned aircraft to transport the grass grid."
Lu Hanbin's eyes lit up.
Guo Yang squatted in front of the drone, looking like a helicopter.
In fact, Guo Yang was a little disappointed. DJI was not as powerful as he had imagined.
Maybe it's too early.
Wang Tao, who was wearing glasses, also came up and explained to Guo Yang with a neither humble nor arrogant attitude.
Guo Yang did not treat them differently and tested the machine with the same seriousness, and also found some highlights: the automatic hovering technology was better, and the controller was simple and easy to use.
"It's OK, but it's not light and convenient enough. The accessories such as the gimbal, camera, and remote control are too bulky."
Guo Yang recalled the drones of later generations and pondered: "Why can't we integrate these good technologies together?"
Wang Tao just felt like a flash of inspiration.
Yup!
If these technologies can be integrated together, the product will only be lighter and more convenient.
Guo Yang added: "Also, I think we can start designing multi-axis controllers. Multi-axis aerial photography is the future."
Wang Tao was stunned for a moment and said, "Although multi-axis aerial photography is smaller, the shooting is unstable and the quality is unsatisfactory."
“What if action cameras go high definition?”
Mo Congwei and Wang Tao both fell into deep thought. Nowadays, drones in professional fields are basically helicopter controllers.
The advantage of a multi-axis controller is that it is lightweight, but it is unstable and easily shakes, resulting in poor shooting quality.
But if we develop and design an enhanced gimbal system, and add a high-definition camera lens, an excellent micro aerial photography drone will be created.
Guo Yang smiled and said, "Each of us has some advantages. We might as well learn from each other."
Mo Congwei and Wang Tao looked at each other with a look of mutual admiration. Only through cooperation can there be a win-win situation!
More and more people gathered in the Gobi Desert.
Some people stayed by the warm mud kiln, but more people came over.
Lu Hanbin, Xie Shijie, Bi Qiang and other younger people also came forward to try to operate the drone.
But it took several attempts to successfully get the drone into the sky, and it almost crashed several times.
As for the agricultural drone, after Mo Congwei taught it twice, no one dared to touch it.
"Leave a battery and take a photo with everyone later."
Guo Yang shouted twice loudly, and the group of people stopped.
Xie Shijie said with emotion: "Boss, your learning ability is too exaggerated. This is your first time, how come you can fly so smoothly?"
Cai Bin said: "The boss can use tractors, harvesters, and stilt cranes, so it's normal that he can learn drones much faster."
"What does that matter?"
"This thing is not difficult. You will be able to do it after flying a few times." Cai Bin also thought about it. The aerial plant protection service is most likely assigned to Donghe Agricultural Machinery.
At this time, shouts were heard from the mud kiln.
"The roast camel is out of the oven."
"Let's go and have some food."
Guo Yang took the lead and only then did he feel his body had been frozen stiff.
On the way, Xu Xiaoxue came over and asked, "Boss Guo, is this agricultural drone also a product developed by Jiahe?"
"Yes, it will be commercially available soon. Reporter Xu can also help us promote it more." Guo Yang quickened his pace.
Xu Xiaoxue smiled and followed closely, "Besides spraying pesticides, can it be used for sowing?"
Guo Yang smiled and said, "Yes, you can sow grass, wheat, or direct seed rice in rice fields."
“Isn’t rice planted by transplanting rice seedlings?”
"Direct seeding is also possible. It is more efficient but requires slightly higher technical skills." Guo Yang also realized that the direct seeding model for rice is not yet popular.
Xu Xiaoxue just felt that the man in front of her knew a lot about agriculture.
Not many steps.
But it's getting colder.
It wasn't until we got to the mud kiln that we felt warm.
At this moment, many people also noticed the long black down jackets worn by Yu Qin and others.
It looks warm.
Xie Shijie even tried it on purpose, and immediately didn't want to take it off.
Several chefs opened the mud kiln and a crane slowly lifted the roasted camel up.
A fragrance spread.
There was cheering at the scene.
"Wow……"
"Happy New Year!"
"Boss, make a fortune!"
"Boss, I want to eat seafood with beer."
Guo Yang knew it was Xie Shijie just by hearing the voice. He looked and saw, as expected, a woman standing intimately next to him.
It should be his wife.
No wonder so excited.
Guo Yang said: "Seafood and beer will be available by the end of this year. If you are not afraid of gout, just make as much as you can."
Xie Shijie's wife also grabbed his clothes and said with a smile: "Boss Guo, this guy is just a bad mouth. I will teach him a lesson."
"You're not pinching his flesh, so it shouldn't hurt!"
"Hahaha……"
"The couple just come here to show their affection."
Xu Xiaoxue watched the camera capture this harmonious and warm scene, and felt deeply moved. Jiahe is truly a unique company.
The crowd entered the wooden houses and felt tents one after another.
The fruits and vegetables have been prepared, and camel meat, roast lamb, roast potatoes, etc. have also been torn and sent in one after another.
Eat meat and drink wine.
Camel meat is yellow on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and delicious;
The mutton is not greasy or smelly;
The baked potatoes from Dingxi have no seasoning and no special taste, just a slight sweetness and a very light fragrance.
Suddenly, a scene flashed through my mind: I once roasted potatoes with my friends over a fire in the mountains.
Guo Yang drank another cup with everyone. The yellow wine brewed from new rice from the Loess Plateau had a mellow and smooth taste when warmed, which dispelled the coldness in the body.
The cold wind was howling in the Gobi Desert, but laughter and joy could be heard from the temporary yurt.
The dividends, delicious food and the joy brought by the New Year made the scene full of joy.
Some people sang and some danced around the fire pot.
When the show ended in the evening, Xu Xiaoxue, with a blushing face, came over again and asked, "Boss Guo, what is your dream?"
Guo Yang just felt that this woman was sick!
Do you think you are Wang Feng?
After three rounds of drinks, he was a little tipsy, but not drunk. Seeing Xu Xiaoxue chasing him, he simply made it clear.
"I can accept your interview, but many things must be kept confidential."
"no problem."
"Whether there is a problem or not is not up to you to decide. I will first communicate with the Ministry of Agriculture and the State Grain Administration."
Xu Xiaoxue was stunned.
Shouldn’t we look for the leader of Seed Industry Weekly?
