On February 7, Yu Hao, the founder and CEO of Dreame Technology, addressed external skepticism in a public post. He clarified that the tens of millions of yuan invested in the company's concert amount to just a single day's research and development (R&D) expenditure. Currently, Dreame employs around 20,000 personnel in R&D and management roles, with daily R&D investments reaching approximately 40 million yuan. Yu Hao also disclosed that he is in the process of reviewing year-end bonus plans for various business units. The company intends to allocate 18% of its net profit towards year-end bonuses, which will be distributed solely in cash, excluding regular welfare benefits. The most profitable department stands to receive bonuses equivalent to up to 11 months' salary, while outstanding individuals could be rewarded with bonuses of up to 20 months' salary. He expects the total year-end bonus pool to reach the billion-yuan threshold.
