Nike Inc. Erects $2.2M Statue Outside Chinese Factory

Dongguan- Nike Inc. unveiled a bronze statue of Nike, the Greek goddess outside of their factory located in the Guangdong province of China last week.

The effigy was created as a symbol of the company’s winning products and successful sales over the years. Manager’s also hoped it would beautify the otherwise drab factory while sending a message of joy to the factory workers.

“This statue is to show our appreciation to the hard workers of Dong-dong...uh, China, who maintain a steady work pace despite low-tech assembly machines and minimal breaks” Nike CEO Mark Parker said.

The overworked and underpaid employees posed beside the statue for a photo in the afternoon and everyone took part in the evening potluck with mouth-watering dishes that included lima beans, tofu, and tofu with salt.

When asked to share her feelings about the magnanimous statue, factory worker Su Ki Jimming said, “I make 3 dollar day.”
