Company lets employees take ‘as much cash as they can count’, lays out ₹70 crore on table. Watch viral video
A video shared on Instagram shows employees of a Chinese company counting cash kept on a table. They received the money they gathered as their yearly bonus.
Some companies go above and beyond to reward their employees with jaw-dropping bonuses. Among them is this company from China that organised a party and decided to arrange a competition to determine which employee would get what amount. The management of a crane company laid S$11 million in cash on a table and asked the employees to “take as much cash as they want” within 15 minutes.

A video of the event by Henan Mining Crane Co., Ltd, shared on Chinese social media sites Douyin and Weibo, was also posted on Instagram. The video opens to show a huge table filled with money. The employees then start counting the cash to take home their bonuses.

One of the videos shared on the platforms also had a caption, “Henan company is giving out millions for its year-end bonus. Employees can bring home as much cash as they can count.”
Take a look at the video that has surprised people:
Social media reacts:

In 2023, the company distributed a large amount of money among employees during an annual dinner.
