Some bosses can be a real pain in the neck; this boss in China has to be the best boss ever status, treating his entire staff of 6,400 workers to a four-day, all expenses paid French vacation adventure costing £24m. Who gets the title of Best Boss Ever? It’s Li Jinyuan, a billionaire and the owner of Tiens Group. The fabulous vacation adventure was created to celebrate the Tiens Group’s 20th anniversary.
The Tiens Group is a multinational conglomerate, which mostly works in the areas of logistics, properties, finances, biotechnology, tourism, education and business. Its headquarters are located in China in the port city of Tianjin. The Tiens Group was founded by Jinyuan in 1995. Jinyuan is recorded as the 24th richest person in China, with a net worth of about $1.2 billion.
Trains, Hotels, More Booked by Best Boss Ever
Jinyuan took care of his workers well by booking their exciting adventure vacation at 140 Paris hotels, as well as tours of places like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre museum, and a side trip to Cote d’Azur. It took 7,600 train tickets and nearly 5,000 rooms to get these workers to their dream vacations–all paid for by this best boss ever!
The trip required special arrangements with hotels and transportation services to complete this fabulous reward for the Tines Group staff. During the group’s trip to Paris, Jinyuan was welcomed by the French foreign affairs minister, Laurent Fabius.
Worker’s Holiday Included City of Nice, Setting a World Record
Besides Paris, they also saw Nice, where 147 buses took them all to a promenade area to stand together and spell out the phrase, “Tiens dream is Nice in the Cote d’Azur.” The Guinness World Records office recorded the human phrase as the longest ever of its kind. Besides that record, the group is the largest group of tourists to visit the country from a single organization. They also watched a special parade on the Nice promenade.
The next time someone complains about their boss, make them feel even better by telling them the story of the best boss ever, Li Jinyuan, founder and owner of the Chinese Tien’s Group. The boss who took 6,400 of his workers on an all-expenses paid holiday adventure to France. Like a boss.
