One super cool boss of a software company in Guangzhou’s Tianhe District, is letting his employees take time off whenever England is playing in the World Cup.
He has also spent 100,000 RMB on ‘sports lottery tickets’, betting that England will win the tournament-a pretty risky bet given England has only won once, and that was nearly 50 years ago- which he has given out among his employees.
Mr You also bought his staff England jerseys to wear during the games. He said that he hopes the staff can learn about team work from the games.
Despite all this, Mr You isn’t even a mega fan of English football- he just chose England as a substitute because China failed to qualify, yet again.
Let’s hope, for the sake of Mr You’s employees, that England doesn’t get knocked out in the first round.
