Chapter 961: Chapter 388 The Mystery of Income_2 Chapter 961: Chapter 388 The Mystery of Income_2 It was upon this foundation that everyone noticed a reality: Business on Dream Island was booming, and the number of businesspeople commuting to and from the island was so large that it represented a huge potential market, including the international flights to Dream Island. As long as an airline obtained flight permissions, it could make huge profits from these commuters.

Currently, there was only one way to commute to and from Dream Island: by taking Dream Transportation's sea cruise ships. However, the speed of sea cruise ships was too slow, taking at least six days for a round trip from Shanghai to Dream Island. This travel time was too inefficient for those precious-time businesspeople.

It was precisely for this objective reality that people were optimistic about Dream Island's air routes. Once the air routes officially opened, Dream Island would see a surge of passengers in a short time. Fortunately, the Dream Airport had finally been completed, and after the Spring Festival, when Dream Airlines received the large airplanes from the Airbus Company, Dream Airport could officially start its operations. By then, commuting to and from Dream Island would become very convenient, and only then would Dream Island truly integrate into the world.

As for now, Dream Airport had only completed its first phase of construction, but a vast amount of space for expansion had already been reserved next to the airport. As the air traffic to Dream Island increased, Dream Airport would inevitably become crowded. At that point, Dream Island could quickly expand onto the adjoining empty land to ensure the smooth operation of Dream Airport.

Ten days before the Lunar New Year, Dream Island went on holiday. To ensure that the employees working on Dream Island could return to China in time, Lu Pingping dispatched a fleet of cruise ships for transportation, striving to transport all workers on Dream Island back to domestic China, ensuring they could make it home to reunite with their families.

Over the past year, Dream Island had developed rapidly, not only completing the construction tasks for Dream Island but also gaining a significant economic return. Therefore, Yan Fei was in a good mood and, with the Spring Festival approaching, he generously handed out a hefty bonus to his employees.

The majority of Dream Island's staff were recruited from within China since at the very beginning, Dream Island was desolate with harsh conditions and year-round separation from families. As a result, those willing to work on Dream Island generally received higher pay.

Even the ordinary construction workers from Dream Construction Company, as long as they completed their assigned tasks, could achieve an annual net income of 300,000 RMB. As for the top scientific talents in the laboratories, their highest incomes reached as much as 10 million RMB.

Because of varying contributions to Dream Island, there was a huge disparity in income among different jobs. However, after comprehensive calculations, the average annual income of employees on Dream Island over the past year had reached more than 400,000 RMB. Converted into US Dollars, that was nearly 60,000 US Dollars, ranking fifth on the world income leaderboard, even surpassing the average annual income of workers in The United States of America, which was only 360,000 RMB last year.

Dream Island's welfare policies were excellent; not only did they resolve employees' housing issues, but they also provided meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for free, along with uniforms for replacement. Hence, working on Dream Island left little room for employees to spend money, except for private gatherings and snacks. So, their annual incomes were essentially their net incomes. If a family had just one member working on Dream Island, that person could support the entire family with their earnings. If a couple both worked on Dream Island, then their household would be considered affluent.

Just on staff salaries alone, Dream Island's annual expenditures surpassed 200 billion RMB. If additional costs such as various insurances and provident funds for these workers were included, Dream Island's personnel costs were at least 280 billion RMB per year. And employee perks were negligible on top of these vast personnel costs.

If it weren't for Dream Island's chief housekeeper Lu Pingping's excellent management and Dream products' frightening ability to attract money, the wages alone could have completely dragged down Dream Island. However, although Dream Island paid generous wages and salaries, the workers' incomes were all earned through their hard work.

Knowing the hard work put in by these people, Yan Fei issued another generous bonus as they were about to leave Dream Island to return to their hometowns for the Spring Festival. Upon receiving their bonuses, everyone was grinning from ear to ear. The amount inside the bonus envelopes was intimately related to each individual's contributions, with the smallest at 60,000 RMB, and the largest even reaching 2 million RMB. In total, the bonuses reached nearly 30 billion RMB.

Yan Fei was so generous with ordinary workers, so for Dream Island senior members like Lu Pingping, Yang Qi, and Wen Rou, he was even less likely to be stingy. Although he never made public the income standards for senior management personnel, some analysts speculated, taking Lu Pingping as an example, that her annual income could be as much as 100 billion RMB, making her a rightful working empress. However, neither Yan Fei nor Lu Pingping ever made any statement on this, so the incomes of these individuals remained an unsolved mystery.
