I can become stronger by paying salaries. I have one billion employees!

Chapter 171 Self-operated cafeteria, Orange C2 and Orange D1 designs completed (Seeking monthly votes)

At noon, Wang Zihao sent a message inviting Chen Yansen to lunch at the company cafeteria.

Two weeks ago, at Chen Yansen's instruction, Xu Xingxing rented half of the canteen from the park manager.

Orange Technology is a major taxpayer in the virtual city and is willing to spend money, so it naturally received the green light all the way when applying for fire protection, environmental protection, health certificates and food permits.

Three days ago, employees of Pinbei and Orange Technology were already eating meals from their own company cafeteria.

厨师是从酒店挖来的，早餐有3名厨师，午饭和晚餐有6名厨师，另有帮厨8人、打饭员7人、保洁3人、采购2人和食堂经理1名。

There are 30 people in total, and they have all signed labor contracts with Orange Technology.

Enjoy a housing allowance of 20% of your monthly salary, overtime pay is paid in accordance with labor law, social insurance and housing fund are paid, as well as commercial medical insurance, and there are also holiday bonuses, travel funds, meal allowances and other benefits.

With salaries 20% above market value and comprehensive benefits, the three cleaning ladies felt they had to mop the cafeteria floor a dozen times a day to feel they were getting their pay.

Chen Yansen and Wang Zihao walked into the cafeteria. The left side was deserted, while the right side had a long queue.

It's easy to see that the left side is the park's own canteen, and hardly anyone is willing to eat there.

"boss!"

"Brother Hao!"

The employees in line all greeted each other!

Chen Yansen nodded slightly, picked up his plate, and lined up behind the others.

"Boss, why don't you go first?" the young man in front suggested with a smile.

"No need. I remember you're from Nanjing. Do you like the food in the cafeteria?"

Chen Yansen waved his hand and asked with a smile.

"Boss, you remember me?" Chi Kai's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

Although he was in charge of food category operations at Pinduoduo, he only met Chen Yansen once on the day he joined the company and they never spoke to each other.

Pinduoduo has more than 20 other companies operating in the same category as him.

Therefore, Chi Kai was surprised to find that Chen Yansen could remember him, and even remember where he was from.

"As a boss, isn't it expected that you remember your employees' names? Keep up the good work. I heard that when you were at Yihaodian, you made the food category number one in the entire company. I hope you can do the same at Pinduoduo."

Chen Yansen patted Chi Kai on the shoulder and encouraged him with a smile.

"Okay, boss, I'll definitely try my best," Chi Kai said with a grin.

Chen Yansen smiled and said nothing more.

He had a deep impression of Chi Kai, not because of Chi Kai's outstanding performance, but because when Xiong Li did his background check, he found that Chi Kai's departure from Yihaodian was not exactly honorable.

Simply put, it means that the money was taken from the merchant and then discovered.

However, he had a wide network of connections and a good relationship with the boss, so he was ultimately spared and given a dignified way to be dismissed: he resigned voluntarily.

Of course, this was just the result of the background check. After Xiong Li brought this up during the second interview, Chi Kai claimed that he was taking the blame for his boss and that he had not actually received any kickbacks.

Faced with such controversial candidates, they usually give up.

However, Xiong Li believed that Chi Kai had outstanding business skills, so he reported it to Chen Yansen.

After glancing at the resume, Chen Yansen decided to hire Chi Kai.

People who are greedy for money tend to work harder and are more resourceful than ordinary people.

Moreover, the treatment that Pinduoduo gave Chi Kai was almost twice what he earned at Yihaodian.

If Chi Kai really dares to accept money privately, Chen Yansen has ways to deal with him.

He can use this as a target to attack other categories and attract investment, making use of what's already ineffective.

As Chen Yansen predicted, within just a few days of Chi Kai joining the company, he attracted more than 30 A-level brands and more than 100 B-level brands to join, demonstrating exceptional resources and negotiation skills.

"Are you going back to Chunshen on New Year's Day?" Wang Zihao suddenly asked.

"I'm not going back. If you do go back, please give my regards to Uncle Wang. Oh, and WineGod.net sent me two bottles of aged Maotai before, could you please give them to Uncle Wang for me?"

Chen Yansen said casually.

"Isn't this inappropriate? Let's leave it to Uncle Chen." Wang Zihao shook his head and declined.

"It's nothing. I already sent the wine back to Old Chen last time."

Chen Yansen said with a smile.

"Senior, you're here for dinner too!"

Just then, a clear and playful voice came from behind.

Chen Yansen turned around and saw Ge Hui, who had asked him for an autograph with an orange phone at the entrance of the startup park last time.

Beside Ge Hui was Jiang Ruoxuan, who politely greeted her, "Hello, boss."

"Is she a new employee in your department?"

Chen Yansen ignored Ge Hui and looked at Jiang Ruoxuan to ask.

"Ge Hui is a part-time employee in the customer service department, but she is also a freshman majoring in visual communication design, so she is my and Yun Cheng's junior."

Jiang Ruoxuan explained.

"Oh," Chen Yansen replied calmly.

Perhaps because of his high mental strength, he could easily notice Ge Hui's subtle actions.

Ge Hui tried to get close to him, but although she tried to hide it well, he saw through her at a glance.

After Ge Hui and Jiang Ruoxuan walked away, Wang Zihao asked curiously, "This junior is so petite, like a doll."

"She's small, but she's got a lot on her mind. Don't look at her anymore, this girl is a deep rabbit, you can't handle her."

Chen Yansen reminded in a low voice.

“Brother Sen, you don’t know me well. I’ve always liked big things,” Wang Zihao chuckled. “That’s good,” Chen Yansen replied.

Under his tutelage, Wang Zihao's work ability has improved by leaps and bounds, but he is still a complete novice when it comes to women.

"I'm tired of driving my 750. It's just gathering dust in the garage. Are you interested?"

After thinking for a moment, Chen Yansen asked.

"Brother Sen, that car is worth over 200 million. It would be heartbreaking if it got scratched or bumped." Wang Zihao's eyes lit up, clearly tempted, but also a little embarrassed.

Over the past year, he has earned quite a bit following Chen Yansen, with stock option compensation, salary, and bonuses, guaranteeing a minimum of over 200 million yuan.

"Stop arguing. I'll have Xu Xingxing bring you the keys this afternoon."

Chen Yansen did it on purpose.

No one knows better than him how many girls he can see being the most proactive while driving around the school and the city center in a car worth over 200 million.

"Thank you, godfather." Wang Zihao was very tactful.

There are a total of 7 food serving windows in the cafeteria, and the two of them got to wait in line after only chatting for a few minutes.

Chen Yansen's gaze swept from left to right, and he saw that chicken, duck, fish, meat, fruits, vegetables, drinks, desserts, ramen, and wontons were all available. No wonder he had hired 30 people.

With fewer people, we really can't keep up with the workload.

The food was served in small dishes, similar to those in a community canteen in Shanghai, steaming hot and fragrant.

"I'd like a serving of Sichuan-style chicken, a fish head with chopped chili peppers, a steamed egg, some greens, a bowl of rice, and a bowl of soup."

Chen Yansen said to the staff serving meals.

Wang Zihao ordered three dishes and a soup, carried the tray to the card reader, and with a 'beep', it only cost 7.8 yuan.

Chen Yansen's portion cost 9.4 yuan, which is basically the cost price.

The company provides a monthly meal allowance of 500 yuan, which is more than enough.

Anyway, the cafeteria is run by the company itself, not for profit, but just to ensure that employees eat and drink well.

Chen Yansen and Wang Zihao had just sat down and taken a couple of bites when Meng Jie came over.

Several mid-level managers from Pinduoduo and Orange Technology looked on with envy. They wanted to come too, but without their boss's permission, they dared not act rashly.

The three chatted as they ate, when Mengjie suddenly said, "Teacher Zhang is getting married on New Year's Day and invited me to be her bridesmaid. Are you two going back?"

"Is Teacher Zhang getting married? Who's the groom?"

Wang Zihao asked curiously, glancing at Chen Yansen, since Chen Yansen had previously said he wanted Zhang Li to be his stepmother.

"Our former history teacher, the tall and thin one."

Mengjie gestured with her hands and answered with a smile.

"Oh! Old Chen is such a disappointment! He didn't even care about Teacher Zhang's curvaceous figure, and now he's completely out of luck."

Chen Yansen sighed, looking disappointed and disappointed.

"Brother Sen, Meng Jun's mom is still single." Wang Zihao winked and teased with a smile.

"Huh!? Chen Yansen, do you have to be so outrageous? You actually want to introduce Teacher Zhang to Uncle Chen?"

Meng Jie could only smile wryly, grabbing Chen Yansen's arm and giggling incessantly.

This scene was witnessed by Song Yuncheng as she walked into the cafeteria. She forced a smile, but felt a pang of pain in her heart.

In terms of status, Meng Jie was always Chen Yansen's official girlfriend.

But I myself am someone who cannot be exposed to the light of day.

Chen Yansen's senses were extremely sharp. He raised his head and his gaze met Song Yuncheng's through the layers of people.

He gave a thumbs-up and tapped his lips.

Seeing this, Song Yuncheng blushed and couldn't help but laugh, cursing inwardly: "Scumbag."

"So, are you going back or not? Teacher Zhang specifically asked me to ask this." Seeing that the two of them were laughing and joking and not giving a direct answer, Meng Jie emphasized it again.

“Big Sister, I’ll definitely go back,” Wang Zihao replied with a smile.

"Orange Technology's new product development is at a critical stage, and I can't leave for the time being."

Chen Yansen made up an excuse on the spot.

There's only one reason why adults don't want to attend social events: they feel they're worthless.

Mengjie was slightly disappointed, but didn't say anything.

After the three finished lunch, Chen Yansen returned to his office, called Xu Xingxing over, and then gave her the keys to the BMW 750 to pass on to Wang Zihao.

Having nothing to do in the afternoon, Chen Yansen went to visit the R&D department of Orange Technology.

The hardware design for Orange C2 and Orange D1 has been completed.

The Shenzhen mobile phone factory plans to produce 500 engineering prototypes each, firstly for testing, and secondly for release to the market to collect user feedback.

The Orange C2 is a flagship model, equipped with a Snapdragon MSM8260 dual-core processor, a 4.7-inch AMOLED screen, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, supports 1080p full HD video playback and recording, and features a 1600-megapixel rear camera and a 500-megapixel front camera.

The system uses Aurora OS 1.3, which is optimized based on Android 4.0, and has a battery capacity of 2620 mAh, supporting fast charging.

The Orange D1 is positioned as a budget phone, featuring a MediaTek MT6573 processor, a 4.0-inch TFT screen, 512MB of RAM and 8GB of storage, a 500-megapixel rear camera, a 30-megapixel front camera, and an 1800mAh battery.

Chen Yansen has not yet made a final decision regarding the price.

With the successive launches of the Apple 4S, Meizu MX and Huawei U8860, the sales of Orange C1 are bound to be impacted.

In the fiercely competitive year of 2011, the lifespan of a mobile phone was typically only 8-12 months.

Orange C1 has been on the market for four months, and at most there are still four to five months left in its prime sales period.

Chen Yansen only stayed in the science park for a little over an hour in the afternoon before driving back to the virtual college.
