Chinese billionaire gives France vacation to 6,400 workers
Could you imagine an American exec doing this for his employees? No I can't either.
NICE, France — The billionaire chief executive of the Chinese conglomerate Tiens has given 6,400 of his best salespeople a vacation that started in Paris and ended with a parade on France's Cote d'Azur.
CEO Li Jinyuan said he was celebrating the company's 20th anniversary by rewarding his staff and aimed for the world record in spelling out a phrase in human bodies.
As their vacation wound down, the employees on Friday massed on the coastal promenade in Nice and, dressed in identical sky blue hats and T-shirts, spelled out the words "Tiens' dream is Nice in the Cote d'Azur."
Jinyuan was greeted by France's foreign affairs minister, Laurent Fabius, mid-week in Paris.
French media estimated the trip's cost at 13-20 million euros ($14.5-$22.3 million).
