On January 28, Gree Electric Appliances held the "Gree 2024 Global Dream Ceremony" in Zhuhai, and Dong Mingzhu, chairman and president of the company, announced at the scene that Gree's profit in 2023 will be about 29 billion, and an additional 200 million will be used to give employees year-end bonuses. This news sparked heated discussions among netizens, some praised Dong Mingzhu for being "really atmospheric", and some ridiculed that it was just "a bowl of noodles" for money.
Dong Mingzhu said at the party that it is necessary to let employees work with dignity and altruistic thinking is conducive to the development of the enterprise, so it is necessary to treat everyone well. She also emphasized that Gree Electric has its own mission and responsibility, not a simple factory, let alone a factory for profit. In 2023, Gree Electric's performance has reached a record high, and its total operating income is expected to be between 205 billion yuan and 210 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 78% to 104%；Net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company is expected to be between 27 billion yuan and 29.3 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 65% to 156%。
Dong Mingzhu said that Gree Electric's performance hit a new high last year and strives to double in the next five years. In 2023, Gree Electric will pay 17.6 billion yuan in taxes, and hopes to pay more than 20 billion yuan in taxes to the country in 2024. Dong Mingzhu's words are undoubtedly an encouragement and encouragement to the employees and dealers of Gree Electric Appliances, as well as a feedback and contribution to the society. The more 200 million year-end bonuses, although it is only a fraction of the scale and profits of Gree Electric Appliances, reflects Dong Mingzhu's humanistic care and corporate feelings.
However, Dong Mingzhu's move was not recognized and appreciated by all netizens, but attracted ridicule and doubts from some people. Someone calculated an account and said that Gree Electric had a total of 7 employees by the end of 202220,000 people, if estimated according to the number of people, the total of 200 million yuan, the per capita increase is about 2,777 yuan. Some people directly said that this is equivalent to giving each employee "a bowl of noodles" money, which is really not much.
The remarks of these netizens are undoubtedly a kind of disrespect and incomprehension of Dong Mingzhu. Because Dong Mingzhu's 200 million year-end bonus is not all the year-end bonuses of Gree Electric Appliances, but is increased on the basis of the original year-end bonus. In addition to the year-end bonus, the employees of Gree Electric also enjoy other benefits and treatments, such as room division, stock division, training, promotion, etc.
Therefore, Dong Mingzhu's 200 million year-end bonus is not a kind of charity or show-off, but an affirmation and respect for the employees of Gree Electric Appliances, and a contribution and responsibility to the society. Netizens should use a rational and objective attitude to look at Dong Mingzhu's move, instead of ridiculing Dong Mingzhu's "true atmosphere" with a jealous and prejudiced eye.
