What are the benefits of being a shareholder in the company?

In addition to the dignity of shareholder status, the substantive advantage of shareholder status is that it can control the company through shareholder voting rights and ensure the predictability of its own interests, but it is difficult for ordinary employees to participate in major decisions of the company.

To enjoy the company's long-term development benefits, in addition to enjoying the company's profits, the substantial benefit is to enjoy the huge appreciation brought by the equity premium. If ordinary employees contribute a lot, the bonus they can get may not be lower than the current profits of shareholders, or even higher than the profits of shareholders, but shareholders get the benefits of the company's equity appreciation, which ordinary employees simply can't enjoy.
