Recently, the listed company Absen released the "Announcement on Resolutions of the First Meeting of the Sixth Board of Directors". One of the announcements about the election of chairman has attracted widespread attention. According to the announcement, when the chairman was elected at this meeting, Ding Yanhui, the company’s founder and long-term chairman, was re-elected with 8 votes in favor and 1 vote against. And the only dissenting vote actually came from him. He bluntly wrote in his reasons for voting:"Not satisfied with the salary for the chairman position."
Judging from Absen’s 2024 annual report data, Ding Yanhui’s total pre-tax compensation from the company last year was as high as4.3556 millionYuan, which includes the principal and income of the employee stock ownership plan of RMB 1.7399 million. Compared with his annual salary of 2.8845 million yuan in 2023, the salary increase in one year is approximately 51%.
In response to this "unusual" objection, some bloggers joked that "the chairman has been wronged"; some netizens directly said, "4.35 million is not enough?"; another netizen said, "I cried with laughter."
According to Absen’s official website, the company was founded in 2001. It currently not only has its Shenzhen headquarters and Absen Dongjiang Intelligent Manufacturing Center, but also has 19 domestic and overseas companies in the United States, Germany, Japan, Dubai, Russia, Mexico, Brazil, Hong Kong, China and other places.
Its main business is extensive, focusing on advertising display, stage display, commercial display, data visualization display, conference display, creative display and consumer-grade display.
