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

Chapter 184 24073 Flames of Humanity, Little Ma's Decision (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The next morning, a ray of cool light shone through the glass window and fell on the living room floor of 0418.

Outside the window, everything was covered in white, and the sycamore trees downstairs were dressed in silver.

The first snow of winter in Xucheng came earlier than in Chun Shen's hometown. The cold wind howled, swirling the snowflakes into the distance.

Chen Yansen sat on the sofa, wearing only a short-sleeved T-shirt, yet he felt no cold at all.

Pinbei achieved a cumulative sales volume of 72.6 billion yuan in 44 days after its launch. After the Double Twelve promotion, its daily active users once surged to 2500 million, but as e-commerce was about to enter the off-season, it gradually dropped to around 2200 million.

Daily sales fluctuate between 2.4 million and 2.6 million, with transaction commissions, advertising and marketing service revenue accounting for approximately 8.5% of total sales.

In short, Pinbei earned a total of 6.17 million yuan in the past month and a half.

Orange Technology's profitability can't even come close to Pinbei's.

But in Chen Yansen's mind, ten Pinduoduos couldn't compare to Orange Technology. After all, Orange Technology provided more than 6000 job positions for the Orange mobile phone factory, contributing more than 4000 humanitarian contributions every month.

At 8:05, the "Spirit Points" on the panel began to increase rapidly.

In just a few seconds, the value in the Humanitarian Flame column skyrocketed from 43 to 24073.

Last month, employees of Orange and Pinbei Technology received quarterly bonuses, with their salary increases significantly.

Orange Technology has 673 employees, with human resource costs of 4239 million yuan and an average salary of nearly 6.3 yuan per person.
Pinbei Technology has 382 employees, with human resource costs of 1299 million yuan, and an average salary of just over 3.4 yuan per person.
Yunsu Express has 17829 employees, with labor costs of 13906 million yuan, and an average salary of about 7800 yuan per person.
Kuai Pao has 157 employees, with labor costs of 105 million yuan and an average salary of about 6700 yuan per person.
The Orange Mobile Phone factory has 6311 employees, with labor costs of 4481 million yuan and an average wage of about 7100 yuan per person.

Orange Technology has only one-tenth the number of employees of Orange Mobile Phone Factory, but the two have very similar labor costs.

Orange Technology's employees are mainly R&D engineers, whose base salary is already over 11 yuan. With the addition of quarterly bonuses, the average salary per person has easily doubled since November.

"synthesis!"

Chen Yansen concentrated his mind and combined the 24073 threads of humanitarianism into 240 threads of divineism.

After completing the operation, he pondered for a moment and added 10 strands of divine fire to his physique.

This was the first time he had strengthened his physique after breaking through to level 10.

Golden mist, as thick as a hair, appeared out of thin air and then entered the space between the eyebrows. It was completely different from the cold touch of the human torch. After entering the brain, this golden mist attached itself to the nerves and blood.

Immediately afterwards, as if a violent chemical reaction had occurred, the blood that had been infused with the golden mist galloped wildly through his body like a runaway horse.

After a few breaths, all the abnormalities completely disappeared.

Chen Yansen got up, walked to the full-length mirror, and carefully observed that apart from the abundant strength and light steps, there were not many obvious changes.

He's still 1.86 meters tall!
But his weight increased from 98 kilograms to 98.1 kilograms!

"It seems my guess was right. As my physique gradually improves, the density of my flesh, bones and muscles also increases. Although my body shape hasn't changed, my weight has definitely increased."

Chen Yansen pondered secretly.

If the remaining 230 strands of divine fire were all added to one's physique, one's weight would likely exceed 100 kilograms, or even 110 kilograms.

If I raise my physique score to 100, my weight will probably exceed 400 pounds!
Isn't this a monster?
Before finding a solution, Chen Yansen decided to focus all the remaining spiritual resources on the spiritual path.

"add a bit!"

Chen Yansen gave a low shout, and a golden mist the thickness of a thumb entered his mind, giving him a comfortable feeling like soaking in a hot spring. Under the stimulation of unknown energy, the cells in his neurons and glial cells grew and transformed rapidly.

When he opened his eyes again, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Yansen could perceive the general outline of objects within a ten-meter radius, even through thick floorboards and brick walls.

The range appears to have increased slightly compared to last time, but it is almost imperceptible.

Previously, the images I perceived in my mind were just simple sketches, but now they have a few more lines, and I can barely distinguish between men and women.

Teacher Wang, who lives next door, is taking a shower in the bathroom at this moment.

The image of her figure appeared in my mind, writhing under the showerhead.

"It hangs so low? But it's quite big."

Chen Yansen commented with a smile.

This rudimentary version of divine sense is truly rudimentary!

More than 20,000 sparks of humanitarianism were thrown in, adding only a few lines, without even a splash.

Chen Yansen brought up the system panel and squinted as he thought.

At the current rate of stat allocation, it will take at least three months for the Spirit stat to break through 20.

It will take three more years to break through 100!
The expansion speed of KuaiRun, Orange Mobile Phone Factory, and YunSu Express needs to be accelerated.

When Liu Zhiping called last time, he deliberately steered the conversation towards food delivery, trying to drag Tencent into the mess.

It would be difficult for him alone to warm up the track in advance, but with the addition of the penguin, the speed can be greatly improved.

at the same time.

The first day of the new year.

At Tencent headquarters, Liu Zhiping sat opposite Ma Wenteng, sipping a cup of black tea.

Ma Wenteng held a research report, his brow furrowed as he carefully flipped through it. "Grubhub has 1000 daily orders and $10 million in monthly revenue in the United States; Just Eat has 8 daily orders and £900 million in monthly revenue in the UK; Delivery Hero in Germany is a relatively new company, and its order and revenue data are unknown."

"Martin, do you think this project is reliable?"

Ma Wenteng put down the documents, picked up a cup of hot tea, moistened his throat, and asked.

"I think the prospects are quite promising. The working hours of private enterprises in China, as well as the cooking methods of Chinese cuisine, mean that more than 90% of white-collar workers have a strong natural demand for the food delivery market. Not every company has its own employee canteen."

Liu Zhiping put down his teacup and replied with a smile.

Especially in the internet industry, the 996 work schedule is commonplace, and very few office workers have the mood to buy groceries and cook after get off work.

"So we're not going to do group buying then?" Ma Wenteng felt aggrieved.

After a year of intense competition among group-buying websites, Groupon.com was eliminated, and QQ Group Buying fell out of the top five in the market.

He doesn't understand!

How did Lashou, Wowo, Meituan, and Nuomi, despite having less traffic and capital than Tencent, manage to suppress QQ Group Buying?

"Naturally, we should do both at the same time. Since we can't see which model has more potential, we should invest in both tracks at the same time."

Liu Zhiping picked up the teapot, refilled Ma Wenteng's teacup, poured himself a cup, and then replied slowly.

Tencent made two investments in Chen Yansen and neither of them resulted in a loss.

The first investment in FoxTao yielded 20 billion yuan in cash.

The second investment in Pinduoduo resulted in almost matching JD.com's years of hard work in less than two months.

Although Chen Yansen has not yet launched the Series A financing, DST, Hillhouse Capital, Sequoia Capital and Tiger Global have all valued Pinbei at more than 50 billion US dollars.

In short, in just one and a half months, Chen Yansen confirmed Pinbei's inflated valuation of 20 billion US dollars and increased it by 1.5 times.

Even investment banking moguls jokingly call Chen Yansen the God of Wealth, and they're not wrong.

DST spent $13.5 billion, plus supply chain resources from Qualcomm, Microsoft, and Sony, as well as technology patent licenses, to persuade Chen Yansen to acquire a 15% stake in Orange Technology.

Ma Wenteng had also considered investing in Orange Technology, but Tencent lacked resources and connections in the mobile phone industry. As soon as Liu Zhiping made a tentative move, Chen Yansen rejected him.

According to a rough estimate by iResearch, Orange Mobile's shipments ranked fourth in the domestic market in 2011.

In less than six months, it surpassed mobile phone manufacturers such as Coolpad, Lenovo, OPPO and ZTE.

The soaring valuation has made DST's investment a classic case in the industry.

“Then let’s leave it to Chen Feng. He and Chen Yansen are old acquaintances. Since Chen Yansen took the initiative to speak last time, it means that he plans to bring in Tencent Capital.”

Ma Wenteng immediately made a decision.

“Okay, I’ll arrange it.” Liu Zhiping nodded slightly and readily agreed.

the other side.

Lin Chenfeng, who was still on vacation, received a call from his boss.

"Chopsticks delivery? Takeout? Okay, boss, I understand."

After listening to Liu Zhiping's instructions, Lin Chenfeng politely hung up the phone.

He knew that Tencent Ventures had previously evaluated Ele.me and concluded that the initial investment was too high and the profit cycle was too long, so they abandoned the investment.

Only a few months later, the boss's attitude changed.

However, Lin Chenfeng knew that the person in charge of Kuai Pao was Chen Yansen, who was definitely different from Ele.me.

With that in mind, he asked someone to contact Kang Guodong in advance to arrange a visit after the holiday.

The big boss has spoken, and Kuaipao will definitely be invested in. The only remaining issue is the price.

On New Year's Day, Kang Guodong, who was busy with the "Chopsticks Run Invites You to Drink the First Milk Tea of ​​the New Year" event, suddenly received a call from Tencent Venture Capital.

"Okay, no problem, I'll contact you later."

Kang Guodong agreed without hesitation.

Kuaipao had just started operating, and its monthly operating expenses reached more than 400 million yuan. The 3000 million yuan that Chen Yansen gave it probably wouldn't last more than three months once the number of new customers increased.

"Brother Dong, whose phone is it?" Pei Yi asked curiously.

He stood to the side, only hearing a few indistinct words, such as 'penguin' and 'investment'.

"Tencent Ventures said they wanted to invest in Chopsticks and run away."

Kang Guodong didn't think much of it and answered truthfully.

“That’s good.” Pei Yi’s eyes darted around, and he immediately thought of what Chen Yansen had said. It was possible that this was also one of the other party’s tactics.

"I've arranged to meet them on January 4th. You'll be in charge then."

After thinking about it, Kang Guodong felt that it would be more appropriate for Pei Yi to handle it.

Last time when we were trying to get investment from Chen Yansen in the virtual city, it was thanks to Lao Pei that we were able to successfully secure the funding.

"Let's report to President Chen first, after all, he's the real boss of Kuaipao," Pei Yi sighed and whispered a reminder.

He thought to himself: Dong Ge is good at programming and would be a good friend, but he's just not suitable to be the CEO of Kuaipao.

"Yes, yes, Lao Pei is so thoughtful," Kang Guodong replied with a smile.

"Okay, I'll get back to work. I need to keep an eye on the orders. If there's a surge in orders, we'll have to adjust the number of part-time riders."

Pei Yi nodded and said.

Kang Guodong didn't say anything, turned around and walked towards the technology department, intending to continue optimizing Kuaipao's intelligent delivery system.
