Boss in China sees employee arrive shivering in cold, gifts 2 staffers BMWs

In a surprising display of appreciation for her employees' hard work, a restaurant owner in China, Ma Yanli, gifted two of her staff members new BMWs. The gesture took place on September 24, following Ma's observation of her employees braving the cold to commute to work on electric scooters. Li Jie, a long-serving employee, had arrived at work covered in sweat, with her ears purple and hands stiff from the biting wind.

This prompted Ma to consider the comfort she enjoyed in her own car and led her to ponder why her employees couldn't have the same benefit. The idea of purchasing cars for her employees developed during the previous winter and culminated in a visit to a BMW dealership on the day of the surprise. Each BMW was valued at approximately Rs 43 lakh, and Ma covered the full cost herself.

Li Jie received a white BMW, registered in her name, while Liu Yingying was given a grey one. Both employees expressed their delight at the unexpected gifts, with Li Jie stating, "I am so thrilled! I dared not think about this before." Ma believes that her business's success is fundamentally linked to her employees' hard work and that they should also benefit from her achievements.
