As the end of the year drew near, Shengxuan Group held a ’small’ annual meeting.
Though it was called ’small,’ the number of invited employees still exceeded ten thousand.
And that was after Qi Sheng had the heads of each subsidiary limit the number of attendees, selecting only employees with outstanding performance.
Otherwise, given the sheer size of Shengxuan Group...
...even the largest stadium in Chengdu might not have been able to hold everyone.
Banyan Tree Group, Universal Entertainment, Pop Mart, Spicy King, Zhuangyu Catering, Shengxuan Decoration, and Shengxuan Property.
As for Prada, Qi Sheng held a controlling stake remotely through a shell company under his name, so it wasn’t listed as a Shengxuan Group subsidiary.
Until he saw them all listed out, even Qi Sheng was taken aback by just how many companies he owned.
Spicy King, in particular, was a labor-intensive restaurant company.
It now had over 245 locations nationwide.
On average, each location employed no fewer than 200 staff members.
Spicy King alone accounted for a workforce of 50,000 people.
Government officials at all levels frequently came to visit and offer praise.
Frankly, the situation was a bit awkward.
Chengdu, the provincial capital, still didn’t have a single company with a market capitalization over a hundred billion.
The two major liquor giants in all of Sichuan Province with hundred-billion-plus market caps...
...Luzhou Lao Jiao and Wuliangye, were both pillar industries for their respective prefecture-level cities.
With Spicy King’s valuation skyrocketing and its IPO guaranteed to break the hundred-billion mark...
...the local officials couldn’t just sit back and watch. They began making frequent visits for inspections and symposiums.
They practically threw all sorts of tax incentives at the company, terrified that Spicy King would relocate.
Yuan Li, for her part, didn’t hesitate to accept. After all, they had earned these incentives.
And it wasn’t as if other municipal governments weren’t offering even more generous terms than Chengdu.
Hangzhou, for instance, had sent numerous invitations to Yuan Li.
Shengxuan Group’s annual meeting was a high-profile affair.
After a lengthy selection process, the Chengdu Performing Arts Center was ultimately chosen as the venue for Shengxuan Group’s annual meeting.
The venue was the perfect size, with a capacity of 12,000 people.
It wasn’t as if they were gathering every single employee from the entire group, after all.
A venue of this size was already incredibly extravagant.
Every employee invited to the annual meeting got a taste of just how rich and powerful the corporation was.
The group had directly chartered multiple planes from Jixiang Airlines to fly employees in for the event.
Given Qi Sheng’s relationship with Wang Han, a small favor like this was no problem at all.
Besides, it was a chance for Jixiang Airlines to make a tidy profit on the side.
As the Young Master of Jixiang Airlines, Wang Han had also come to join the festivities, bringing Fu Songyang and their friends along.
The entire annual meeting was being live-streamed on Bilibili.
Even employees who couldn’t attend could simply search for the official channel on Bilibili and watch the entire celebration live.
With its founder, Xu Yi, helping to coordinate, Bilibili had also sent a large team to set up the streaming equipment.
