Lin Feng glanced at everyone in the room.
"I know you all have quite a few projects on your hands."
"But don’t worry. I’ll only be taking this liquid capital for three days."
’Three days?’
In fact, everyone at the company knew that when Lin Feng took charge personally, it meant he was going to play the stock market.
The fact that Lin Feng set a three-day timeline meant that this time, he was only planning to be in the market for three days!
For most people, three days wasn’t enough time to even make a ripple in the stock market.
For a moment, the others had no idea what Lin Feng was planning to do in just three days.
Still, three days wasn’t a long time.
In fact, it was a very short period. The various departments and project teams would only need to keep a small amount of liquid capital on hand.
It was only three days, after all. They could manage their cash flow.
When it came to timing, they had complete faith in Lin Feng.
If Lin Feng said it would be three days, then the money would definitely be back in three days.
One benefit of their increased loyalty was that they generally believed whatever Lin Feng said.
The company’s staff was fairly united.
"In that case, our financial investment group only needs to keep ten million in liquid capital for the next three days."
"The rest, nearly one hundred million in liquid capital, can be handed over to President Lin."
The head of the financial investment project was the first to speak after a moment of consideration.
The other department heads and managers quickly did the math.
One by one, they called out their figures.
Huizi stood to the side, taking notes.
When the funds from the other project groups were added to those from the financial investment group, the total came to a solid four hundred million.
It was close to the figure Huizi had previously seen on the finance ledgers.
Lin Feng was quite satisfied with this amount of liquid capital. "Alright, I’ll take this money now."
Everyone else assumed the meeting was over, but they saw that Lin Feng made no move to leave.
"The company did well last month. I’ve reviewed the reports from each of your departments."
Lin Feng said after a brief pause.
’In Lin Feng’s opinion, a company could only grow if it had a healthy internal competitive environment.’
This was especially true for an investment firm, where performance and numbers were everything.
No one could escape it.
The fact that Lin Feng had already reviewed last month’s profit and loss statement for every single project came as a surprise to some of the project heads.
At the same time, it also made them a little anxious.
They didn’t know what Lin Feng was planning to do next.
"Now, each department is to set its goals for next month based on its current situation."
"Report them to Huizi. If you exceed your targets next month, I’ll have a reward for you."
’Lin Feng was a master of using incentive systems.’
’After all, if you want the horse to run, you have to give it grass to eat.’
After exchanging glances, the project heads and managers began to mull over what kind of targets would be appropriate.
Just then, Lin Feng slowly added, "The first project team to exceed its target will receive a bonus of one hundred thousand. A hundred thousand *for every single person* on the team!"
The moment he announced the figure, the project heads were stunned, their eyes widening in disbelief.
’Isn’t this kind of direct cash bonus usually reserved for the year-end bonus?’
’How could Boss Lin be this generous after only one month!’
"You need to set your targets based on the specific circumstances of your projects. Anyone caught trying to game the system or slacking off will be fired immediately."
Huizi added coolly, glancing at the project heads.
Perhaps from spending so much time with Lin Feng, Huizi had also developed an imposing aura of her own.
Soon enough, the relevant targets were set and handed to Huizi.
Huizi gave the documents a quick scan and saw that no one had tried to sandbag their goals.
"Remember this: in my company, the capable rise quickly."
"If you’re just here to coast and wait for death, then I’m afraid you can’t stay at this company."
Lin Feng said with a smile.
"If you can consistently exceed your monthly targets, or if your projects perform well, there will be plenty more rewards like this."
The carrot and the stick.
Lin Feng had mastered this technique.
The bonus of a hundred thousand per person was already enough to make everyone green with envy.
They hadn’t expected Lin Feng to then say that if their monthly completion rates were high, there would always be some form of bonus.
This instantly ignited the motivation of every employee in the company, from top to bottom.
As expected, an incentive-based system created a much better atmosphere than a punishment-based one.
Now that he had the money and the company’s morale was high...
...Lin Feng’s attention naturally turned to the few recent graduates he had given money to for practice.
Yang Qiniang, Cao Ming, and Jiang Chao had already recorded their performance over the past two days in detail.
Lin Feng flipped through the report.
Naturally, some of them demonstrated rather unique insights.
Meanwhile, another group had already lost more than half of their principal in just these first few days.
’It seems that theoretical knowledge isn’t enough to conquer the stock market.’
As these few graduate interns were getting off work, Lin Feng’s meeting was just ending.
They saw that all the minor heads and managers from the meeting were smiling.
The interns exchanged confused glances, wondering what could have made their superiors so happy.
"I can’t believe President Lin is just handing out cash this time!"
"I wasn’t even planning to compete for it, but that much money is pretty tempting."
The group walked past the interns, still chatting among themselves.
After most of them had gone, the interns had pieced together the general picture.
’As long as a team exceeds its target, everyone on it gets a hundred-thousand cash bonus?’
When the interns figured this out, their faces were all masks of pure shock.
The interns had never imagined Lin Feng could be so generous.
Just for exceeding a designated target, they could receive a bonus of one hundred thousand per person.
And it wasn’t just for the team; every single person in that project group would receive it.
The interns exchanged glances, and each one saw a fiery determination in the others’ eyes.
If they had initially come here drawn by the company’s reputation...
...then after experiencing the company’s internal culture over the last few days, every single one of them was now determined to fight tooth and nail to stay.
For these interns, their investing experiences in the stock market over the past few days had already shattered the theories they learned in the classroom.
Most of the interns assumed their final evaluation would be based solely on their investment returns.
Little did they know that from their very first trade, everything was being recorded as part of their performance review.
