Currently, our dam has 35 section chiefs, and the total number of workers has reached 2,241. We expect the scale to expand further this year, and in coordination with the Land Department, we will extend the dam under the suspended layer. We still have many positions to fill."

"Chairman, that's about it from my end."

Zhou Yi said to him, "Old Yuan, the dam supports the majority of our company's employees and is an important basic industry for delivering talent to various departments. Your task is heavy, the pressure is great, but we can only rely on you."

Yuan Tong wasn't daunted at all: "Chairman, I need new assistants. My old subordinates, they work okay, but can't handle management production and accounting."

"Preferably someone with mechatronic life sciences background, to stabilize and optimize the process. With so many people now, management is much more difficult."

Zhou Yi expressed understanding: "Alright, I'll find you some help as soon as possible."

Next was Mushroom Forest.

Sun Chonglai, a Bone Man, slid his hand across the glass screen, then said, "Chairman, our Mushroom Forest's main output is still explosive mushrooms."

Since explosive mushrooms could be absorbed by Jade City to extract Light Seeds and remained a major secret, the Bone Man always kept a tight lip, just mentioning it in passing.

"The prospects for the improved Mushroom Houses from giant mushrooms are good, it's just that their pricing isn't clear yet. Duke Beidu is still developing channels everywhere, and actual profits should be seen next year."

Zhou Yi similarly spoke briefly: "The R&D of Mushroom Forest is of great significance, Old Sun, you need to put in extra effort, I'm waiting for your update."

"Chairman."

Sun Chonglai added, "I also request a mechatronic life scientist as an assistant. Because whether it's the Mushroom Laboratory or the management of the Mushroom Forest, I need a reliable helper right now. Those two kids from the White Smoke Mushroom have gone to the Scavenger Team, it's too slow for me to train new people here..."

"Okay, I'll recruit for you."

Next to speak was Xie Xun from the Scavenger Team.

It rapped its shell with a claw, speaking through a translator: "This year, the Scavenger Team is mainly exploring and refining the process of surveying and scavenging. After excavating cities from the era of Prehistoric Humans, we have accumulated a lot of experience, learned to make signs, and cooperated with Bubble Fish to haul heavy objects, also looking for powerful samurai crabs to join along the way."

"Thanks to the training provided by the Samurai Crab Apartments, the Scavenger Team has now expanded to 12 members, adding 3 Weapon Masters, and our manpower has become more ample."

"Next year, we will collaborate with Mr. Nemo, and with the trained Coal Shell Bugs and Drill Head Rats going out together, we hope for even better results than this year."

Xie Xun's speech, once halting and stumbling, has become steady and orderly—a significant improvement.

Its change is a microcosm of the Scavenger Team.

Zhou Yi said, "Scavenger Team is engaged in long-term surveys, there's much potential in the sea floor, no hurry, safety first."

"Yes, Chairman."

"And the hospital?"

Zhou Yi looked to the side.

Da Vinci was performing surgery, so Feng Ying joined the meeting in its place.

The female pharmacist looked at the screen on her controller and spoke softly, "Maria Hospital's total profit this year is just 302 Light Seeds. We don't make much money, I'm sorry to have held the company back."

She, however, had a pleased smile on her face.

"But we saved many patients' lives, and now we have enhancers from other places, Guangna Species, as well as mechatronic life sufferers coming to Maria Hospital for medical treatment, which is a recognition for us."

"We will continue to enhance our medical skills and experience, to provide a medical guarantee for the company."

This was expected by Zhou Yi.

Da Vinci, although a B-level Deputy Chief Physician, specializes in niche and obscure fields, primarily treating Bone Fish and Sheng Snakes.

It has no advantage in other areas, being able to provide medical logistics for the company is sufficient.

A good hospital also needs time to grow through diagnosis and treatment of patients.

Nemo, the leader of the Sand Rat Tribe, was concise: "Chairman, this year we mainly did three things."

"First, with the help of the samurai crabs, we completed the connection of the underground water pipes from the Northern Forest to the Mushroom Forest, allowing water to flow into the cultivation area and the Oasis."

"Second, following our migratory tradition, we discovered the distant relationship between the sea floor Coal Shell Bugs and sand rats."

"Third, we domesticated the Coal Shell Bugs, bred hybrid offspring of Drill Head Rats, and carried out initial training and instruction. Especially the Drill Head Rats, they are now ready to participate in the drilling at the Dead Sea floor, working well in conjunction with the Scavenger Team."

"Next year, we will continue to strive and aim to create tangible revenue for the company."

The last to speak was the company's current superstar.

Qian Su wore the purple-red wool hat given to her by Zhou Yi today, along with a white sweatshirt (naturally, found from the sea floor).

The Iron Head Girl looked vibrant: "Up to now, the Express Center has 30 Bone Fish deliverymen, 60 Sheng Snake navigators, and 44 human employees, with 24 stationed abroad, all being human employees."

"This year, the total number of small parcel delivery orders completed was 3,514, settling for 145,600 Light Seeds, contributing 98,392 Light Seeds to the company, and retaining 42,168 Light Seeds for ourselves."

"Actually, the Express Center could have taken on more orders. However, considering safety and sustainability, we gave up many opportunities to ensure that the couriers have enough rest, medical checkups, and adjustment time."

"Earlier, there was a half-month period where orders skyrocketed 17 times, which I found dangerously overloading, so I directly called a halt. The Express Center compensated for this with a loss fee, paying a tuition of sorts."

She swiped across the screen and continued, "Another part is the independent bulk commodity transportation in Building 7. Since its official operation in the past month and a half, there were 234 orders, generating 24,600 Light Seeds, with 17,220 contributed to the company."

"But as Building 7 is special and doesn't belong to Express Center members. The Express Center and Building 7 split the retained profit, each gaining 3,690 Light Seeds."

"This year, the Express Center contributed a total net profit of 115,612 Light Seeds to the company."

Qian Su confidently said, "Chairman, next year we will have more couriers, and Wasteland Express will continue to grow steadily. If there are no major environmental changes, I expect at least a doubling of revenue next year!"

Zhou Yi was very satisfied.

115,600 Light Seeds from express revenue, 140,000 from war compensation, Duke Beidu's mineral shares of 87,000, plus 60,000 from explosive mushrooms, 70,000 from the spring agreement with United City, and a total of 90,000 from Wise Mushroom's patent royalties...

All added up, Zhou Yi now holds 590,000 Light Seeds.

There's finally money in the company's accounts.

Zhou Yi made a decision on the spot: "Starting this year, 5% of the net profit earned for the company by each department will be transferred as a year-end bonus to your respective departments. It's up to you, the heads of these departments, to distribute it according to employee contribution."

"I hope everyone works harder to earn more year-end bonuses! Next year, let's be steady and aim higher!"

"Yes, Chairman!"

Everyone was beaming with joy.

Especially Qian Su, who smiled so much that her wig was about to fall off, so she quickly steadied her hat with both hands.

As a once ordinary worker, Zhou Yi knew very well.

Giving money directly is the most tangible reward.
