A restaurant owner in China’s Henan province, Ma Yanli, gifts two employees brand-new BMW cars valued at about 300,000 yuan (around Rs 43 lakh) each. The cars are given as a reward after Ma says she saw workers struggling with long commutes on electric scooters during harsh weather.
Reports describe the gesture as a response to daily conditions faced by staff, with the employees reportedly surprised when the cars were presented. Ma is said to have arranged for the vehicles in advance and then had the workers collect them together on September 24. Outlets also note that the story draws widespread attention online, highlighting employee welfare and workplace recognition.
While all accounts agree on the core facts—Ma Yanli, the Henan restaurant, and BMW gifts to employees due to commute hardships—details vary slightly in wording, such as whether the cars are characterized as awards for “top performers” or “dedicated employees,” and the emphasis placed on the employees’ winter driving challenges.
