"Before I started my own business, I actually worked for several years and understand the hardships of being an employee.
So, after achieving so success in my entrepreneurship, I have been emphasizing with the managent team: no 996, no overti. We must not only give employees high salaries but also ensure they have ti to rest, spend with their families, and cultivate their interests and hobbies.
However, over these years, everything went so smoothly for that I forgot the road I initially traveled.
Today, after a thorough investigation, I realized that.
The overti practices I strictly forbade have now begun to spread again in the companies under my na.
This makes very guilty and deeply painful.
It’s a betrayal to my employees and also to myself.
Therefore, starting today, the company will strictly implent the eight-hour work system. Any employee who arrives more than twenty minutes early before nine in the morning will be severely criticized.
After five in the afternoon, any departnt with employees still working in the office will see their supervisors and leaders penalized.
In the company building, after five o’clock, water and electricity will be cut off, and staying in the office for any reason or by any thod is strictly prohibited.
At the sa ti, to prevent so employees from losing overti inco and having reduced monthly salaries after banning overti,
The company will adjust all employees’ salaries. The monthly salary after banning overti must not be lower than the monthly salary when overti was allowed."
When Chen Yiyang announced this decision in front of the whole company,
whether truly or not, applause filled the room anyway.
The world has suffered overti for long enough.
They always say consumption is not picking up, it’s not picking up.
The reason consumption is not picking up is simple, too much overti.
The real driver of consumption is not food, clothing, housing, and transportation, but various interests and hobbies.
Whether it’s gaming or various sports activities.
Once it becos a trend, it can support a lot of people.
The most typical example is soccer.
Only eleven people are playing on the field, but off the field, the staff, trainers, and equipnt manufacturers and all other related industries are the real drivers of consumption.
Even the most cost-effective entertainnt for the elderly: square dancing, supports a bunch of dance leaders, audio equipnt manufacturers, and clothing rchants.
The elderly, who are usually stingy about a few pennies for groceries, spend freely when it cos to buying audio systems and hiring dance leaders.
All of this requires sufficient personal ti to achieve.
Not to ntion that AI is rapidly developing now, and many jobs are starting to be replaced.
Having two people share one job in turns will be the trend of the future.
In response, Chen Yiyang officially proposed a no-overti movent to align with the policies from above.
The main force of the dostic internet naturally consists of ordinary workers.
When the trending topic purchased by Chen Yiyang, ’Yiyang Automobile announces the launch of no-overti movent,’ appeared,
it imdiately sparked heated discussions among netizens.
However, the main point of discussion seed to be off track, with everyone asking what Yiyang Automobile is and if it’s a foreign enterprise.
Uh...
Although Yiyang Automobile is sowhat famous in the field of new energy vehicles, it’s mainly known to the netizens through Biya Mansion.
Even erging forces like Xiaopeng and Weilai are unknown to those not following new energy vehicles’ news closely.
Let alone Yiyang Automobile.
Fortunately, Chen Yiyang still holds a few well-known identities.
One as the boss of a livestream rchandise, gaming, and film company, and another as an investor in deepseek.
Under Chen Yiyang’s call, his invested companies also started to announce bans on overti one after another.
This indeed created a trend that appeared to be forming of a no-overti movent.
However, in reality, livestream rchandise companies, gaming companies, and film companies hardly do overti.
When busy, they are busy, and during idle tis, they can stare at their toes.
And deepseek, engaged in ntal work, never really did overti anyway.
Thus, the no-overti movent created by Chen Yiyang, which involved spending a great sum on trending topics, began losing steam after a few days with hardly any discussion.
The truth is, the companies under Chen Yiyang don’t have the public perception of being sector-defining giant corporations.
When these few companies ca forward claiming no overti, people assud it was rely the conscience of certain bosses or just a promotional stunt.
However, things quickly took a turn for the better.
After Chen Yiyang proposed the no-overti movent, the drone-manufacturing Da Jiang Company promptly announced joining the no-overti movent, strictly banning overti for employees.
Soon after, an employee of Da Jiang posted online about forgetting to take a bag after work, and when they went back to the company, HR sent them away.
The participation of Da Jiang thoroughly popularized the no-overti movent proposed by Chen Yiyang.
Chen Yiyang also quickly instructed a release stating that a factory supervisor at Yiyang Automobile was demoted for allowing employees to work an extra hour.
A few days later, the ho appliance giant, idi, announced a ban on overti, and their unique asures included prohibiting the use of PowerPoint for internal communication and banning performative overti after work, as well as reducing WeChat groups.
Subsequently, another manufacturing giant, Haier, announced a mandatory double weekend policy, forbidding employees from coming to the office on Saturdays.
With various large companies successively announcing their policies, the no-overti movent initiated by Chen Yiyang finally ford a trend.
Yiyang Automobile, as the initiator of this no-overti movent, was thus firmly rembered online.
"Still, it’s impressive that you, little brother, have managed to start such an impressive no-overti campaign that saves as much as Tencent’s 78 billion,"
Wu Changxun, who ca to sign a contract with Chen Yiyang, gave him a thumbs up.
Tengxu responded to the call from above with real gold and silver.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yiyang just bought so trending topics and initiated a no-overti movent, creating a bigger sensation than Tengxu.
"I just got the ball rolling," Chen Yiyang said to Wu Changxun. "If a giant company like Tengxu joined the no-overti movent, I can guarantee that the credit would surely go to Tengxu."
"Well, let’s just forget it, the internal resistance at Tengxu is too great," Wu Changxun chuckled, brushing off Chen Yiyang’s suggestion.
The internal complexity at Tengxu is unimaginable for a small company.
Anyone in managent daring to propose no overti would be the first to take the fall if company profits subsequently declined.
Of course, compared to Ali and their 996 culture, Tengxu is sowhat better; they may have late working hours, but double weekends are still ensured.
Ali hasn’t made any moves, and naturally, Tengxu won’t either.
After signing the equity transfer agreent with Tengxu, Wu Changxun reminded Chen Yiyang, "Hurry up with the matter in France."
"Don’t worry, just a few phone calls," Chen Yiyang replied lightheartedly.
He is only signing an intention agreent with Tencent now. If things don’t work out in France, he doesn’t have to worry about giving the equity back.
But he had already talked to Schaefer about this, and Schaefer indicated that the matter wasn’t difficult and had already begun operations.
