Wasteland Development Diary.

Chapter 242 Year-End Bonus

On a cold and windy day, a golden owl flew to the door of 3101.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou. I am Feng Che, the ambassador of the Kingdom of Heaven to the Shuanghe region."

Zhou Yi recalled that the early explorer of the Wuhu viaduct was also a golden owl.

According to Kestrel Science, this family is called "Golden Owl". They are small in size, but they are a species of light that is both intelligent and brave, with strong eyesight and hearing, smart minds, and good combat power.

Zhou Yi said, "Please come in."

The owl walked lightly into the door.

It flapped its wings gently and jumped onto the back of a chair. "Mr. Zhou, I think you understand why I'm here. It's very difficult to withstand the pressure of the Governor in the War of Honor. Your wisdom and strength are admired by the Heaven. On behalf of His Majesty the Black Emperor of the Heaven, I sincerely and formally extend an invitation. I hope you can join the Heaven with the Development Alliance."

"Of course, we can negotiate the conditions. The new governor's position is already vacant."

Zhou Yi was prepared for this: "That's not necessary. The Development Alliance has no intention of being affiliated with any party. We just want to live a peaceful life, make money, and do some business, that's all."

Being a governor sounds impressive, but in reality one is still subject to the control of the Kingdom of Heaven, which is inconvenient in many ways.

"Mr. Zhou has a clear goal."

The owl blinked and said, "In that case, I will take this as my reward."

"Official business is over, now it's time for the personal part."

Its big eyes suddenly relaxed and became clear: "Mr. Zhou, will your company's Wasteland Express cover the Shuanghe area?"

"I often buy things in various mechanical and electrical cities, but the delivery is very slow. Due to official reasons, I have to stay in the embassy and cannot fly around, so I often have to wait for a long time. Sometimes the trucks are attacked, causing the next round of shipments to be rescheduled... Waiting is a painful thing."

“It would be great if Mr. Zhou opened a business in the Shuanghe area, so I could place orders in Coral Mouth and Recursion City.”

"The Shuanghe region has a great demand for this kind of thing, such as the Alchemist Association, the Craftsmen's Guild, the Orbital Knights, the Bounty Knights, and the Archery Academy."

Among these organizations, there is one Zhou Yi who is relatively unfamiliar.

He asked Hongshun in his mind and found out that the Archery Academy was the largest archery certification organization.

A good shooter has to hit the target shot by shot. It is an extremely expensive profession, and all kinds of new equipment are also the focus of their attention.

The main business of the Archery Academy is training, lecturing and testing new equipment, and all excellent archers will go there to hone their skills.

Zhou Yi looked at the owl in front of him: "Is this your personal idea, or is it what Lord Mieding meant?"

The other party smiled and said, "I am just stating the facts."

"However, as you said, Mr. Zhou, Governor Miedinggong also asked me to convey this message."

Zhou Yi nodded: "The company will discuss and consider this matter."

"That would be great."

"Then I'll take my leave," said the Owl. "Good-bye."

It walked to the door, flapped its wings, and disappeared in the wind.

Zhou Yi fell into deep thought.

He was not sure whether Mieding Gong really wanted to cooperate or whether he was doing this to stabilize the morale of the residents of Shuanghe area and show them that Shuanghe area might win in reality.

But we'll talk about these things next year.

……

Zhou Yi convened a company meeting with the heads of various departments.

The purpose of this meeting was to summarize and compile statistics on the revenue and development of each department of the company this year.

Zheng Tao was the first to say with a smile: "Our Ministry of Agriculture has weak profitability, so let's set an example to avoid too much pressure later."

He flipped open his enhanced controller and read the data on the glass screen: "The edible oil produced this year is basically used by the company itself, and more than half of the sweet potatoes are ground into powder and used as food reserves."

"The main purpose of the beans planted by the farm machinery brothers is to fix nitrogen. The beans produced are not much, and after the harvest in autumn, they are all used for oil extraction and used as food reserves."

“对外出售的农产品和加工食物上，红薯干净利润是1光种2金11铜，西瓜是盈利大头，净利润41光种2金3铜。”

"On the breeding platform side, because the fish fry are cultivated for breeding bone fish couriers, and shellfish are used as supporting food for the fish fry, there is no profit on the books."

"Winter wheat can only be harvested next summer. It is still in the growing season..."

Zheng Tao looked at Zhou Yi and said, "Chairman, the total revenue of the Ministry of Agriculture this year is 42 light seeds, 4 gold seeds, and 14 bronze seeds."

"In terms of development, first of all, with the professional capabilities of the agricultural machinery brothers, 2500 acres of land were successfully improved into high-quality arable land through crop rotation and summer fallow."

"Then there is our brother department, the Land Department led by Wu Yi, which has opened up 110 mu of suspended land on the Dead Sea. After the accumulation of seabed silt and natural drying, cattail and thorn grass are growing well in the pilot project. Next year, the Ministry of Agriculture will use this land to officially plant crops."

"That's the way it is."

Zhou Yi listened patiently and said, "Well done, thank you for the hard work of the Ministry of Agriculture."

"Agricultural development is difficult and costly, but we will continue to increase investment. The reason is simple. In this wasteland era, the most scarce thing is high-quality land. The direct reason for the end of the War of Honor is that we destroyed a large area of high-quality arable land in the Land of the Destroyer. I hope everyone will understand and clarify this point."

All the employees present said yes.

The second speaker was Yuan Tong.

He picked up the ceramic cup warmed by the flame cup and took a sip of hot water: "The first handover of light soot sand from the Light Soot Dam to the Energy Storage City has been completed. The total output is 41 tons of light soot sand, which is equivalent to a gross profit of 4100 light seeds. Excluding the 5% salary bonus for employees, tool costs, and natural losses, the net profit is 3894 light seeds."

"We currently have 35 section chiefs and a total of 2241 workers. This year we expect the scale to be further expanded. In conjunction with the Ministry of Land, we will extend the dam below the suspended layer, and we still have many jobs to be released."

"Chairman, this is basically it for me."

Zhou Yi said to him, "Old Yuan, the dam carries the most employees of the company and is also an important basic industry for supplying talents to various departments. You have a heavy task and great pressure, but we can only rely on you."

Yuan Tong was not afraid of any difficulties: "Chairman, I need new helpers here. My old subordinates can do the work well, but they can't manage production and handle accounts."

"It's best to have electromechanical personnel, so that the process can be stabilized and optimized. There are so many people now, and it's very difficult to manage them."

Zhou Yi expressed his understanding: "Okay, I'll find help for you as soon as possible." Next was the mushroom forest.

The bone man Sun Chonglai swiped his hand across the glass screen and said, "Chairman, the main output of our mushroom forest is still explosive mushrooms."

Because the fact that the explosive mushrooms can be absorbed by the Emerald City to extract light seeds is still an important secret, the Skeleton Man has always kept his mouth shut and only mentioned it in one sentence.

"The giant mushroom-modified mushroom house has a good development prospect, but the current pricing is still unclear. Beidugong is developing channels everywhere, and the official profit should be next year."

Zhou Yi also stopped at the point: "The research and development of the mushroom forest is of great significance. Old Sun, you have to take care of it. I'll wait for your news."

"Chairman."

Sun Chonglai added: "I also applied for a mechatronic life as my assistant. Because whether it is the mushroom laboratory or the management of the mushroom forest, I need a reliable helper right now. The two guys from Baiyan Mushroom went to the scavenging team, and I am too slow in training new people here..."

"Okay, I'll recruit someone."

The next person to speak was Xie Xun from the scavenging team.

It tapped its shell with its claws and spoke through the translator: "This year, the scavenging team is mainly exploring the process of exploration and scavenging. After excavating the cities of prehistoric humans, we have accumulated a lot of experience. We have learned how to make road signs, cooperate with bubble fish to carry heavy objects, and are also looking for powerful warrior crabs to join us."

"Thanks to the training room at the Samurai Crab Apartment, the scavenger team has now expanded to 12 members, with the addition of three weapon masters, so we have more manpower."

"Next year we will join forces with Mr. Nemo and go out with the trained coal beetles and drill rats, and hopefully we can achieve better results than this year."

Xie Xun has made great progress from speaking haltingly to speaking calmly and methodically.

Its changes are a microcosm of the scavenger team.

Zhou Yi said: "The scavenging team is doing long-term exploration. There is a lot to be done on the seabed. Don't be anxious. Safety comes first."

"Yes, Chairman."

"Where's the hospital?"

Zhou Yi looked to the side.

Da Vinci was performing surgery, so Feng Ying attended the meeting on his behalf.

The female pharmacist looked at her controller screen and said softly, "Maria Hospital's total profit this year is only 302 billion. We are not making much money. I am really sorry that we are holding the company back."

There was a happy smile on her face.

"But we have saved many patients' lives. Some enhancers, light nano species, and electromechanical life patients from other places have rushed to Mary Hospital for treatment. This is recognition of us."

"We will continue to improve our medical technology and experience to provide better medical support for the company."

This was within Zhou Yi's expectations.

Although Da Vinci is a B-level deputy chief physician, his expertise is too niche and specializes in the treatment of bone fish and viper.

I don’t have any advantages in other aspects, as long as I can provide medical logistics for the company.

A good hospital also needs time and the treatment of patients to accumulate and grow.

Nemo, the leader of the gerbil tribe, was brief and to the point: "Chairman, this year we have done three main things."

"The first is that with the help of the warrior crabs, we completed the connection of the north-south underground water pipeline from the northern forest to the mushroom forest, allowing water to flow into the cultivated areas and oases."

"The second is that in terms of migration traditions, we found that the seafloor coal worms and gerbils are distant relatives."

"The third is that we naturalized the coal shell beetles and bred the hybrid offspring, the drill rats, and carried out preliminary training and teaching. Especially the drill rats, they can already be put into drilling at the bottom of the Dead Sea and can cooperate well with the scavenging team."

"We will continue our efforts next year and strive to create tangible benefits for the company."

The last person to speak was the company's current hotshot.

Qiansu was wearing the purple wool hat Zhou Yi gave her today and a white sweatshirt (which of course she found at the bottom of the sea).

The iron-headed girl looked very energetic: "So far, the express delivery center has 30 bone fish couriers, 60 victory snake pilots, and 44 human employees, including 24 overseas employees, all of whom are human employees."

"This year, the total number of small-package delivery orders completed was 3514, 14 orders were settled, 560 orders were handed over to the company, and 98392 orders were collected by ourselves."

"In fact, the express delivery center could have received more orders. However, considering safety and sustainability, we gave up many opportunities while ensuring that the couriers had enough time for rest, physical examination and adjustment."

"There was a 17-fold increase in orders in half a month. Eventually, I realized that such overload was dangerous, so I stopped it. The express delivery center also compensated me for the loss, which was like paying a tuition fee."

She swiped the screen and continued, "The other part is the independent bulk commodity transportation of Building 7. Since the official operation, in the past month and a half, the total number of orders has been 234, generating revenue of 24600 light seeds, and 17220 light seeds have been handed over to the company."

"However, because Building 7 is special, it is not a member of the Express Center. The Express Center and Building 7 split the self-profit equally, that is, each received 3690 light seeds."

"This year, the total net profit contributed by the express delivery center to the company is 11 yuan."

Qian Su said confidently: "Chairman, we will have more couriers next year, and Wasteland Express will continue to grow steadily. If there is no major change in the environment, we expect the revenue to at least double next year!"

Zhou Yi was very satisfied.

11.5 in express delivery income, 14 in war compensation, 8.7 in share of Bedougong's mineral resources, plus 6 in explosive mushrooms, 7 in the spring agreement with United City, a total of 9 in share of the patent for the sage mushrooms...

All these things added up, Zhou Yi now holds 59 light seeds.

The company finally has money in its account.

Zhou Yi immediately made a decision: "Starting from this year, 5% of the net profit earned by each department for the company will be transferred to your departments as year-end bonuses. You, the responsible persons, will distribute it according to the employees' contribution."

“I hope everyone will work harder and earn more year-end bonuses! We will work steadily and steadily to reach a higher level next year!”

"Yes, Chairman!"

Everyone was smiling happily.

Especially Qiansu, her wig was about to fall off due to laughing, so she quickly held the hat steady with both hands.

As a former worker, Zhou Yi knows this very well.

Giving money directly is the most tangible reward.
