Chapter 57: "To Tenzhi Shareholders" (33)
An image post on Weibo went viral across all of China overnight: Four hundred million in personal income tax—hey, you, come take a look!
At the top of the article was a letter signed with a mosaic: "To ** Shareholders."
To all shareholder partners of **, after discussion among several major shareholders of **, it had been decided to set aside 2 billion as dividends. Today was the day of harvest for all shareholder partners—the first dividend payout from **. Along the way, all shareholder partners had witnessed the growth of **.
This was only **'s first dividend payout. All ** shareholder partners had received an explanation regarding tax deductions. Every shareholder partner's dividend income included a 20% personal income tax deduction. We did not know whether any shareholder partners might hold different views on this 20% tax deduction, but we had a few words we wanted to write to all our shareholder partners.
** would undoubtedly become a great company, but all of our greatness came from every single person at **. Each of our individual greatness came from this land that had raised us, educated us, and supported us. We had witnessed the rise of this land, and we would become the cornerstone of its rise.
But on this land, there were still more people like you and me who needed to be raised, educated, and supported. We had the obligation, the responsibility, and the ability to shoulder these burdens together with China.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. This would not merely be **'s slogan, but its spine and lifeblood.
Thank you to all shareholder partners for your support.
—** Technology Co., Ltd. / ** **, ****
