Just saw that Pang Dong Lai supermarket directly distributed all 4 billion yuan in assets to employees based on their positions, with management and regular employees each accounting for 50%. The actual total amount was 3.793 billion yuan, covering 10,194 employees. Is this a top-tier "brilliant scheme"? The main distribution is in the form of equity, with dividends paid annually.

It was originally supposed to open at Zhengzhou East Station in May this year, but has been under construction. The local Zhengzhou construction project was meant to be leased to Pang Dong Lai—the idea was to get Pang Dong Lai, the most requested supermarket chain, to open a store in Zhengzhou, the provincial capital. The building was constructed nicely, but now they're facing a funding shortage and want Pang Dong Lai to front the money. They were short exactly 4 billion yuan—precisely Pang Dong Lai's profits accumulated over all these years. When old Yu heard this, he thought "WTF, this is clearly aimed at me," turned around and had Pang Dong Lai directly distribute all remaining cash to employees, then told the leadership "I don't have that much money."

Old Yu pulled off a masterful move—first announced his retirement, then announced distributing the 4 billion yuan to employees. Think carefully about this entire sequence of moves.
