Lenovo CEO Gives His $3 Million USD Bonus to 10,000 Employees

It will come as no surprise to anyone who follows the technology world that CEOs at major corporations make a ton of money. Often their bonuses are even more than their yearly income. The CEO of Lenovo, Yang Yuanqing, recently received a fat bonus of $3 million. Rather than stuffing that big bonus away in his own bank account, Yang Yuanqing gave it away.

The CEO took the $3 million bonus and distributed it among 10,000 junior level employees. Among the employees to receive a piece of the pie were receptionists, production line workers, and assistants. Each of those 10,000 employees received a bonus of 2000 yuan, which works out to about $314 USD.

Lenovo had its best fiscal year ever, which ended in March. Lenovo saw a 73% increase in net profit compared to the previous year and Yang had previously said that it was a “record-setting year for Lenovo.”

Bikinis, Texas 78624

The sleepy Hill Country town of Bankersmith will soon be bursting at… well, at something, if Doug Guller has his way.

Guller, the owner of the Austin-based “breastaurant” chain Bikinis Sports Bar and Grill, just bought the central Texas hamlet, and is fixin’ to rename the town Bikinis, Texas.

Guller has plans to create a “a world class destination” for tourists in the town of Bikinis, he said in a statement on the chain’s website.

Or, as the Dallas Observer’s Eric Nicholson calls it, “a getaway for frisky, middle-aged men who have apparently never heard of a strip club.”

The nearly-abandoned town, formerly a railroad stop that hit its peak population of 50 residents in the 1920s, had a whopping ten people “the last time anybody checked,” according to the Houston Press.

Bankersmith is located about 10 miles from Fredericksburg, and was purchased through Craigslist.

“I am thrilled to expand the Bikinis brand to include town ownership,” Guller said in the press release. “There can’t be a better way to put Bikinis on the map… Literally.”
