Chapter 940: Chapter 752: Accumulating Votes for the Future

Constructing a pressure-free society, this news caused a great uproar, attracting close attention and discussion both inside and outside the business.

Nestor Corporation is a paragon of employee cooperative systems, especially in terms of income distribution. The company has never sought funds from investors, hence there is no need for shareholder dividends, focusing solely on improving the treatment of its internal members.

For example, take Akasumi Steel Company acquired by Nestor Corporation, where previously shareholders and investors had a monthly salary of 27 million, senior engineers had 20,000, workshop managers 6,000, and frontline workers less than 3,000.

After three years of merger implementation and numerous internal salary discussions and adjustments, the subsidiary currently has senior engineers earning a monthly salary of 60,000, workshop managers 30,000, and frontline workers 18,000.

Under the leadership of Nestor Corporation, all internal members’ salaries and benefits have greatly increased, far exceeding the past, effectively achieving free health services where regular employees could receive medical treatments previously only available to management, and they designed world-leading equipment and workplace safety standards to ensure employees are safe from danger, and every employee has channels to speak out and influence decisions.

Uniting ten million employees of the Northern Archipelago, ultimately creating such a special "giant enterprise" like Nestor Corporation.

As of this year in November, total revenue reached 300 trillion. Of all corporate expenses, 50% are used to improve employee salaries and benefits, ensuring the greatest possible security for the employees’ lives.

Joining Nestor Corporation and working for a lifetime, this has become the highest pursuit for most people of the Northern Archipelago.

Similarly, Nestor Corporation is also criticized.

Nestor Corporation monopolizes more than 70% of industries in the Northern Archipelago, like a large hand blocking all the sources, using them to nourish their internal employees, making Nestor’s people into essentially the "nouveau riche" class.

Xu Yang controls such a giant enterprise, constantly pondering...

Does this company belong to the corporate system or to the cause of societal progress?

In Nestor Corporation’s development, a clear internal and external division has emerged.

Inside the corporation, it is thriving, but ordinary people outside the corporation are still isolated from these benefits, Bubble being the most evident example.

If it goes on like this, the Northern Archipelago will eventually split into two societies: one is the internal employee welfare society of Nestor Corporation; the other is the bleak society outside the company, with no future prospects except to serve Nestor Corporation.

This structure is unbalanced and will inevitably lead to a new civil war.

How can we break the cycle?

Xu Yang’s approach is to build a pressure-free society, bridging the gap between the inside and outside, allowing the general public to also enjoy benefits appropriate for this era, making Nestor Corporation truly serve the common people.

If the people of Nestor Corporation agree, then just do it.

This strategic plan, which will impact the next 10 years, has been placed on the discussion agenda.

This is the most worthwhile public affair to discuss at the annual meeting and is so far the most eye-catching topic of Nestor Corporation.

Before the annual meeting, the news had already spread, with both supporters and opponents gaining considerable scales.

The interest remains high, with Nestor Corporation’s internal and external personnel paying extra attention to this topic because it will bring earth-shaking changes to the social structure of the Northern Archipelago!

Free housing, free food, and free transportation.

There is currently no more ambitious social reform proposal. Who knows what changes will occur in society with such benefits?

Will it relax life’s pressures, gain spiritual freedom, increase happiness and creativity? Or will people become lazier, leading to significant societal regression?

Either way, Nestor Corporation will incur huge expenses.

So this can’t be accomplished by a single command; it must be decided by a general vote at the annual meeting, involving all Nestor people.

According to the latest survey, of the 10.11 million employees of Nestor Corporation, 9.8 million have the intention to vote.

The vote will take place a month later, on New Year’s Day, January 1.

Before voting, members at all levels of Nestor Corporation express their positions adequately to ensure most members understand these perspectives.

Xu Yang flipped through some particularly hot content inside, each with several million likes.

"Stream saving: Everyone’s annual income drops by 10,000. But food, housing, and transit are free."

"Thank you, stream-saving hero!"

"According to the currently publicized economic model, the first phase project will consume 12 trillion funds, meaning a cut in internal benefits. I reject this obvious squeezing, hoping no more such wild strategies are proposed."

"Our Nestor Corporation has never been exclusive from its inception, other members of society should also receive social benefits."

"I don’t want to spend my money on people outside the company; I hope you don’t either."

"Another classic strategy of low return and high cost, showing that an incompetent management is the primary factor affecting the prosperity of Nestor Corporation."

"The purpose of establishing Nestor Corporation was to develop every member inside the organization, but now, we must sacrifice our benefits to meet the endless public service needs of the entire society; doesn’t this count as the greatest metamorphosis?"

"Being in a monopolistic position in the Northern Archipelago, we should share our monopoly benefits with others, instead of continuing to plunder from them."

"A company is still a company, no matter how beautifully it’s described."
