Super God-Level Top Student-Chapter 745 - 285: The Sci-Fi Story About Dou Dou

Soon, Dou Dou's action, which made countless workers envious, spread far and wide.

At first, many people simply didn't believe it.

The story did sound somewhat science-fictional.

It wasn't just about artificial intelligence; the AI had taken on the persona of a great benefactor, unlike Skynet which seemed intent on wiping out humanity. Instead, it was racking its brain to secure benefits for humans.

And those benefits were reserved for the workers.

Which client ever signs a contract that not only guarantees corporate profits but also sets aside a separate sum for a bonus contract, all just to provide a salary for the employees of the other party?!

That was already sci-fi enough, but just days after signing the contract, the client even took the initiative to add a bonus. Those unaware might suspect that the company had a grudge against money. Even though the decision was Dou Dou's, what's scarier was that nobody tried to stop the thing.

When the news spread, the first places to buzz were naturally Dou Dou's fan groups and the comment sections on Weibo.

"What's going on? I heard Dou Dou is going nuts handing out money? Desperately giving bonuses to ordinary employees of the second party? Have you guys heard about it? Is it true or false?"

"No need to doubt, it's genuine. Because I am that ordinary employee being stuffed with money. The giving is real, but the high demands are also real."

"No way, you guys believe this? Dou Dou is a standard capitalist, the kind we've dreamt of hanging from street lamps, could it really be so kind-hearted?"

"As a matter of fact, it is that kind-hearted. You guys have no idea how sincere it is about doing business. Not only does it cover all the technical work, but it also pays upfront, can you believe that? Have you ever seen a client who pays the employees' bonuses directly into the accounts of the second party? Our group's finance department thinks they're dreaming."

"Wait, paid in advance? Isn't Dou Dou afraid of being scammed? What if the bonuses are distributed and later not up to standard, then you have to return them?"

"The money wasn't given directly to us; it's divided into stages, with very detailed stipulations for what targets are to be met at each stage. We can only get this bonus if we achieve a certain phase's goals within the stipulated time and quality. If we don't finish in the end, the bonus has to be returned, get it?"

"No way is there such a big sucker in this age! You'll never convince me there's a company that could return the money after having received it. What if they transfer the money away after getting it?"

"Dude, stop taking it so serious! It's all true; the bonuses have truly been transferred to the partner's accounts. They say it's to motivate everyone's initiative, so there's no doubting it. I work in headhunting and have connections with many factories that cooperated with Dou Dou this time; I've already asked them."

"Pfft, you'd have to be pretty innocent to think someone could scam Dou Dou's money! You mortals can deceive Dou Dou? Maybe you could get away with scamming someone else, but if you trick Dou Dou, unless you plan on never using the internet again, I guarantee Dou Dou will track you down, and you won't be able to live another day in peace."

"I can also testify; Dou Dou's payments are super swift. Within less than a minute of signing the electronic contract, the bonus arrives in the company's account, they say, to ensure that once frontline employees meet the reward criteria, the company can dispense the rewards immediately."

"Wait, you've got me confused. If the money is in the company account, what's stopping them from withholding it and counting it as profit instead?"

"You know nothing, do you think Dou Dou hasn't thought of that? To take Dou Dou's orders, you have to connect to Dou Dou's task system, where logging in daily shows you the progress along the entire production chain.

The most awesome part is that all the frontline workers related to the project are included in the system, and once they're registered, making changes later is troublesome, requiring a pile of documentation and still needing Dou Dou's approval.

After a certain progress is made, Dou Dou will directly distribute bonuses according to each person's level. Remember, these are bonuses, separate from the salary, which the company still pays. But as always, if the company skimps on the regular wages, we can still file a complaint in this system."

"Right, right, the guy above said it all, let me just add one thing. To link up with this system, you have to install many cameras and other sensors at the factory gates, they say it's part of modern management reforms.

They even have to input all the frontline workers' faces and fingerprints into the system, and I suspect Dou Dou uses this method to identify participants in the project."

At first, it was only discussed within Dou Dou's fan groups, but soon the news spread, going viral across the whole internet.

People are sensitive about money, after all.

With Dou Dou's strategy, they say that in extreme cases, a highly skilled worker could earn a bonus worth two or three times their salary, just for meeting quality and productivity targets.

Although the number of people benefiting wasn't large, mostly centered around casting and tech fields, it still made countless people envious and resentful.

So, without a doubt, the news that "artificial intelligence is handing out bonuses" rocketed to the top of the hot search across all platforms, and Dou Dou's reputation began to skyrocket insanely.

The once-heartless capitalist was now being hailed as the conscience of Huaxia, and countless people rushed to Dou Dou's Weibo to conduct live interviews.

Although the questions varied, they all boiled down to one: "Dou Dou, what were you thinking?"

Dou Dou's response on The Understanding Forum was particularly heart-stirring.

"Human is making money, over ten billion, just entered the account, and I thought I'd casually answer everyone's questions.

Yes, Dou Dou did issue bonuses to cooperating units of the Deep Sea Unmanned Cluster Scientific Exploration Project. It's not widespread at the moment, involving only 67 units nationwide, with 539 registered individuals eligible for the bonus, which isn't really that much.
