A Chinese crane manufacturing company, Henan Mining Crane Co., Ltd, shocked its employees by handing out a staggering $11 million (Rs 3.6 billion) in yearly bonuses—literally in cash. Instead of traditional bank transfers or cheques, the company piled stacks of banknotes on a table and invited workers to grab as much as they could within 15 minutes.
A viral video shared by the company on social media showed a lavish year-end party where employees eagerly lined up for their turn to scoop up as much money as they could count. One particularly fast employee reportedly managed to secure 100,000 yuan—equivalent to over 3.88 million Pakistani rupees.
This isn’t the first time Henan Mining Crane Co. has made headlines for its extravagant bonuses. In 2023, the company also distributed hefty cash rewards during its annual dinner.

The jaw-dropping cash grab event sparked a frenzy online, with corporate workers worldwide dreaming of similar rewards.
- “This is the kind of paperwork I want, but my company had other plans,” joked one Instagram user.
- Another quipped, “Same as my company… but instead of money, they give tons of workload.”
- One hopeful employee humorously stated, “I’m sending this video to my company’s management!”
The viral spectacle has left many wondering—should more companies adopt this wild bonus distribution strategy?
