Chinese internet company Zhangmen Technology rewarded its employees with Tesla cars for year-end bonuses, reports Shanghai-based online media outlet The Paper.
Brother of
leading entertainment company Shanda Interactive Entertainment founder and CEO
Chen Tianqiao, Chen Danian, became CEO of Zhangmen, a subsidiary of Shanda that
focuses on mobile internet software and hardware development.
Zhangmen
turned profitable with a smartphone app named WiFi Omnipotent Key after
reported losses of 100 million yuan (US$16 million) at the beginning of 2014.
The Android-based app allows users to find WiFi hot spots near them and has
active users of more than 500 million and 230 million monthly active users.
There has
been speculation online that 36 out of around 50 employees received Tesla Model
S cars for year-end bonuses. Chen Danian said more than 36 employees received
cars as a reward for their hard work for the company. Talent is what is most
needed in the Shanghai industry, as there is no dearth of money or ideas, Chen
said.
