Chapter 161 Half Year Award

The New Year’s vacation was short and often passed before one could feel anything. Everything started to return to normal working conditions again. Even if one hadn’t fully adapted yet, one had to work.

Masayoshi Kishimoto was sitting in his president’s office with a newspaper in his hand, after all, there was a report about the New Year’s concert on there.

Even though it was a tabloid, it had an audience. In addition to the newspaper in his hand, there were a number of other reports about the New Year’s concert on his desk.

Oda Hidetora walked in and stopped across from him. She first put some documents that needed the president’s signature and private seal in front of the other party, and then asked with a rare smile, “President, the entire second half of last year has already passed.”

Masayoshi Kishimoto casually placed the newspaper in his hand on the surface of his desk. He understood the meaning of her words and said, “I know, it’s time to pay out your half-yearly awards for the second half of the year.”

Oda Fei Tori’s head nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and her smile didn’t change as she said, “Everyone has been waiting for it for a long time.”

Masayoshi Kishimoto crossed his fingers and placed his elbows and knees on the desktop, and said with a slight smile, “According to your opinion, it is more appropriate to give out half-yearly awards for a few months.”

In his heart, of course, Ota Feiqiao was thinking that the more the better. However, since he had asked himself this, then he had to answer properly.

Using the company’s current actual business situation, Ota Fei Bird reasoned, “Our company’s economic benefits in the second half of last year far exceeded those of the first half of the year.

One of the main profit returns or from the president’s foresight and skillful people bold, from shorting the ruble, long the U.S. dollar is a huge profit. All the credit for this lies with the president, we dare not share the credit.

Early years, the president invested in South Korea’s NCsoft network game company, also began to see the return of high profits of a good momentum.

The online game “Paradise” launched by NCsoft online game company has an eye-catching performance in the market, which can be said to be a standout.

In addition to this, our main investment direction for the second half of the year was in real estate in the three Gangnam districts of Seoul, South Korea. As a result, the Hard Gold Construction Co., Ltd. prepared by Katsuhei Yamaguchi will be officially listed for business by the end of the month.

The location of this office was also finalized by the president himself, so that they will be located in the same place as Miyazaki Ryui’s office in Seoul.

Our headquarter, Hard Gold Capital Corporation, has also begun preparations for a name change and reorganization of its functions.

Kiyoshi Kobayashi’s office in San Francisco, U.S.A., has also begun its daily work. He is not only in charge of investment matters there, but also serves as the head of the business division of the headquarters. To be fair, he was the hardest worker in the company.

We have acquired 10% of the common stock of HORIPRO. We are also in the process of negotiating with Kyoko Fukada as the future face of the Hard Gold Group.

We are just doing some auxiliary related daily work of the company. I hope, merely hope that the president will be able to send us a year-end bonus for the second half of last year that is no less than the first half of the year.”

After Justice Kishimoto finished listening to her brief work report on the second half of last year’s work of the company, he casually asked, “How much exactly?”

“The first half of last year saw three months’ worth of half-end bonuses paid out. President, you said yourself that the second half of the year would pay out more than the first half.” Naturally, Oda Feiqiao could not be the main channel to make a final decision.

Masayoshi Kishimoto’s body collapsed backward, leaning his back against the back of the chair, crossing his arms over his chest and feigning a look of forgetfulness, he said, “Did I say something like that?”

“Yes. At first, I wasn’t the only one who heard it, the entire company heard it.” Oda Feijao said seriously.

Masayoshi Kishimoto erected five fingers of his left palm, and then one index finger of his right hand. The meaning couldn’t be more obvious 5+1=6.

“Thank you, President for the six-month six-month award.” Oda Feiqiao had already started to be overjoyed, after all, the six-month half-yearly prize for the second half of the year was a full double-dozen times more than the six-monthly prize for the first half of the year.

“What’s your hurry? A half-yearly prize of six months’ basic salary makes you this happy?” Justice Kishimoto laughed and said.

Oda Feiqiao’s eyes that were looking at him were stomping all over, truly as if they were cow’s eyes. She couldn’t believe there would be more.

“Double, pay you all twelve months of half-yearly awards.” Masayoshi Kishimoto hammered out.

“Really really thank you so much, President. I’ve never seen someone as handsome, flowery, and loving as you, treating your employees like your first love.” Ota Hidetora said a bit incoherently while deeply bowing ninety degrees at him.

“In the past, when Miyazaki Ryui was around, you were always saying that he was kissing my ass. Today, how come you’ve learned to start kissing my ass as well?” Masayoshi Kishimoto teased.

Oda Feiqiao was a little out of his element with excitement, and said wryly, “I’m not like Miyazaki Ryui.”

“Twelve months of half-yearly awards is able to excite you like this. If I were to give you a hundred and twenty months of half-yearly prizes, wouldn’t it make you faint with excitement?” Masayoshi Kishimoto wasn’t speaking in an unfounded manner.

Oda Fei Tori tried to calm down his current excitement, and cut back to the topic, “The half-yearly bonus for regular members is twelve months of basic salary.

Is it true that a person like Yamaguchi Katsuhei, who hasn’t worked for half a year, also receives twelve months of basic salary as a half-year bonus? As for those unofficial members, are they not?”

“The principle of fairness definitely applies. Those who joined the company in the second half of the year will be paid according to the number of months they have worked. If the members are able to be regularized in the second half of the year, the full half-yearly bonus will be paid out according to the official members.

As for unofficial members, as long as they are not temporary workers from dispatch companies, the half-yearly bonus will be reduced by half, i.e., six months. It’s not easy for those who come from dispatch companies to work for us, so the half-yearly bonus is one-fourth for three months.

I’m going to give Kiyoshi Kobayashi an extra six months. Do you have any comments or opinions?” Masayoshi Kishimoto laid out the specific details of the half-yearly prize distribution and said.

“No comments or opinions at all.” Oda Feiqi was heartily convinced that Kobayashi Kiyoshi was getting an additional six months of half-yearly awards; after all, he was juggling two jobs, almost doing the workload of two people.

“Then you will tell the company’s finance that what I have said is as it is.” Justice Kishimoto calmly said.

Oda Fidgety was as joyful as a little magpie. She couldn’t stop saying “yes”. Shortly after she turned around and just walked out of the president’s office, everyone outside knew.

The cheers of “Long live the president” were once again loud. Especially the people from the dispatch company shouted the loudest in joy, after all, it was something they had never encountered before. Even Masayoshi Kishimoto, who was sitting inside the office, could hear it clearly.
