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

Chapter 205 South and North! Let's test Zhang Xuhao's ability to withstand pressure!
While Liangzai Dong was delivering packages, Chen Yansen was also delivering takeout in Luzhou.

The cold winter wind, like a knife, relentlessly poured into the gaps in the collar.

Kou Zhen and Xia Xiangyu wore long faces, wishing they could zip up their windbreakers behind their heads. They secretly lamented: This job is inhuman; they felt like they were about to collapse after just one delivery.

Pei Yi and Kang Guodong were alright; when Kuaipao was first established, they both worked as delivery drivers in the university town for a while.

The four of them rode electric scooters, following behind Chen Yansen.

"Next order: Lao Dongmen beef fried rice, 3.7 kilometers away, price 5.2 yuan."

Chen Yansen glanced at the phone on the stand and wrote down the order information and navigation route.

Directly in front of him, several staff members from Kuaipao's marketing department were holding cameras and video cameras, constantly adjusting the shooting angle.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Kou Zhen couldn't help but shiver. But when he saw the camera panning over, he quickly put on a serious expression.

As the head of the rider department, Xia Xiangyu was not only complaining, but also wondering if it was unfair to place the entire 29-minute delivery time requirement on the riders.

Why can't Kang Guodong's technical department plan delivery routes more rationally? Why can't order allocation and rider scheduling be based on the principle of proximity?

At this moment, Xia Xiangyu felt the same way. Even though Kang Guodong was one of the shareholders of Kuaipao, he couldn't help but have a lot of complaints.

I'm planning to cause trouble for the tech department as soon as I get back!
After all, the delivery riders in the rider department are, to put it bluntly, also formal employees of Kuaipao, and they have signed labor contracts with the same company as those people sitting in the office at headquarters.

The only difference is the level of income.

Chen Yansen weaved through the streets and alleys, and soon found the sign for the Old East Gate Beef Fried Rice shop.

Good guy!
This shop is located right next to the toilet. A middle-aged man with thinning hair, wearing an apron covered in oil stains, is frantically tossing a wok.

Besides Chen Yansen, there were two other Kuaipao delivery riders sitting on their electric scooters, waiting for the restaurant to serve the food.

Clearly, this Lao Dongmen beef fried rice restaurant is doing quite well on the platform.

At this moment, Pei Yi and his group also caught up on electric scooters.

"President Pei? President Kang?"

"Damn! Boss Kou and Boss Xia are also here!"

The two deliverymen immediately recognized the group and jumped off their electric scooters, greeting them with big smiles.

"How many orders did you deliver today?" Chen Yansen asked.

"Hey? Bro, are you new here? You look familiar, but I've never seen you at the station before?"

The older delivery rider stared at Chen Yansen for a moment, then asked with a puzzled look.

"This is Mr. Chen Yansen, the big boss of Kuai Pao," Xia Xiangyu introduced calmly from the side.

Big boss Chen Yansen?
That billionaire?

The two deliverymen looked at each other in disbelief. If Xia Xiangyu hadn't said those words, they would never have believed it.

The young man in front of you, wearing a helmet and a work uniform, is actually a billionaire boss.

The deliveryman, taken aback by Chen Yansen's question, quickly recovered and replied with a smile, "Boss, I delivered a total of 39 orders today, earning 218 yuan."

While the unit price of Kuaipao (a ride-hailing service) may seem low, with a base salary ranging from 1500 to 2000 yuan per month, almost all full-time riders can earn more than 7000 yuan per month.

"It's only 3 PM, how many orders can we complete in a day!"

Chen Yansen said with a smile.

"Boss, Brother Li is the top seller at our site. He never has fewer than 80 orders a day."

Another rider mustered his courage and said.

"Then you're better than me. I've only delivered two orders." Chen Yansen joked with a smile.

"The boss is someone who makes a lot of money. I can only work my butt off, how can I compare to you?"

Li Zhou smiled shyly and rubbed his hands awkwardly.

"Whether it's a single-player game or not doesn't matter. Making money is important, but you also need to take care of your health. Did you attend the year-end party tonight?"

Chen Yansen first asked a question out of concern, then inquired further.

The annual meeting of Kuaipao was held at a four-star hotel in Luyang District. Due to the special nature of the food delivery industry, only 30% of the riders could attend.

The remaining riders have to continue delivering orders to keep the project running smoothly.

However, regardless of whether you attend the company's annual meeting or not, you can participate in a lucky draw and receive a year-end bonus ranging from 3000 to 10000 yuan.

"Boss, I...I didn't sign up." Li Zhou scratched his head and chuckled.

Attending the annual meeting might mean enjoying a big meal, but it also means earning about 200 yuan less in sales that evening.

Li Zhou refused to waste time making money!

Chen Yansen remained silent, not pressing the matter, and then turned his gaze to Kou Zhen, asking, "Have you discovered any problems?"

Kou Zhen was slightly taken aback. He looked back and forth between the rider and the merchant for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat. He honestly said, "The hygiene of this store is a bit problematic."

"Guodong, add a real-life photo module to the store information as soon as possible, including the store sign, kitchen and dining area. This task will be handled by the ground sales BD team."

Seeing that Kou Zhen had noticed the problem, Chen Yansen gave Kang Guodong some instructions.

Since this store is able to join the Kuaipao platform, it must have a complete business license and food hygiene permit.

He won't proactively suggest banning these kinds of shops, but he must show users the most authentic side of the merchants and give users the power of choice.

"Boss, I'll start making changes tomorrow. For businesses like Lao Dongmen Fried Rice, I'll raise the vetting requirements accordingly to ensure quality for our customers."

As the head of the investment promotion department, Kou Zhen was naturally the one who had to step in and resolve this problem.

"The review department acts as the second line of defense. It not only needs to check the completeness of the materials, but also needs to distinguish the authenticity of the pictures uploaded by the sales representatives. The penalty mechanism must be well set up."

Chen Yansen nodded slightly and pulled Pei Yi and Kou Zhen aside to speak.

"Orders numbered 78, 79, and 80 from Kuaipao have all been packed! Come and pick them up!"

The owner of the Old East Gate Fried Rice shop called out to the group.

Chen Yansen smiled and shook his head, checked the information, picked up 80 orders, put them in the delivery box, said goodbye to Li Zhou and the other person, and then quickly left.

Pei Yi and the other three quickly followed.

"Brother Li, I think you're a bit silly. The big boss personally asked you if you were going to the annual meeting, and you actually said no!"

Another deliveryman cursed, exasperated.

In his view, if he were to be noticed by General Manager Chen, there might be a chance for promotion and a raise.

"Are you out of your mind? I'm just a delivery driver, I don't have any skills. Do you think the big boss will make me a manager? If you want to make money, work hard!"

Li Zhou patted his colleague on the shoulder and laughed at him for daydreaming.

"Hehe, what if the boss has a brain fart?"

The young deliveryman grinned and laughed loudly. "I think you've lost your mind. If Boss Xia hears this, you'll lose your job."

Li Zhou glared at the other person.

In Luzhou, jobs like Kuai Pao (a type of mobile phone delivery service) are hard to find. General workers at TCL, Haier washing machines, and Gree only earn 4000-5000 yuan a month even if they work themselves to the bone, and their jobs don't offer the same freedom as Kuai Pao's.

the other side.

When Chen Yansen delivered the meal to the customer, he couldn't help but remind him, "Don't order from this place too often in the future; they're not very hygienic."

"Huh?! Really? I eat there all the time. Oh, you're obviously from out of town. Lao Dongmen Beef Fried Rice is indeed next to the public toilet, but there's a wall separating it, right? Their fried rice is incredibly fragrant and delicious!"

The customer was taken aback at first, then waved his hand and smiled nonchalantly.

Chen Yansen chuckled to himself, realizing he had been deluding himself.

He was initially worried that customers would be deceived, but it turns out they were regular customers and acted like long-time customers.

Pei Yi and the others, standing behind him, couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

After delivering this order, Chen Yansen picked up another order for Kawanka milk tea, with the delivery address in the nearby software park.

The customer was a young woman who was holding an Orange C2 mobile phone when she came out to pick up her food.

"Chopsticks Delivery wishes you a pleasant meal!"

After reciting the standard script, Chen Yansen prepared to leave.

Wait a minute! You look kind of familiar!

The girl looked at him suspiciously, but after a few seconds, her face suddenly lit up with joy, and she asked with a smile, "You're Chen Yansen from Orange Technology, right?"

Chen Yansen rubbed his forehead and smiled wryly. He was wearing a helmet, yet people still recognized him.

"Wait a minute, why are you delivering food?" the girl asked again.

"Kuaipao app is also a product of our company. Thank you for your support of Orange Technology and Kuaipao."

Chen Yansen smiled slightly and said his thanks.

"Mr. Chen, may I take a picture with you?" the girl asked in a sweet voice, pulling on Chen Yansen's arm.

"of course can."

Chen Yansen agreed readily.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

The girl kept pressing the shutter button. She said she would only take one picture, but she pressed the shutter button dozens of times in one go.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I'll be using KuaiGua for delivery every day from now on. By the way, my dad is also a fan of yours. Could I record a video so you can say hello to him?"

After the girl finished taking the photos, she immediately made a new request.

"This is not okay!"

Chen Yansen said with a straight face, and before the girl could react, he added, "Unless you buy another Orange phone to support me."

The girl frowned, looking troubled: "But my parents both use Orange phones."

"I was just kidding, give me your phone."

Chen Yansen said with a smile.

Then, he took the girl's phone and recorded a short message of blessing for her father.

The girl took the phone and ran into the building, satisfied.

Chen Yansen glanced at the time; it was almost 4:30. He then called Pei Yi and the others to head towards the hotel.

The girl returned to her workstation and immediately posted the photos she had just taken on Weibo, tagging Chen Yansen's Weibo account.

"Is this Chen Yansen? What does 'chopsticks running' mean?"

"I know that Kuaipao is a local food delivery platform in Luzhou!"

A billionaire delivering takeout?

In the comments section, some people sarcastically said that Chen Yansen was putting on a show, while others praised him for being down-to-earth.

Suddenly, someone uploaded a photo of Liu Qiangdong delivering packages in Yanjing in the comments section.

"Damn! Who's imitating whom?"

"I think Liu Qiangdong is imitating Chen Yansen. Yesterday, the news that Chen Yansen was drinking with a Yunsu Express courier went viral, and today Liu Qiangdong went to deliver a package. What a coincidence!"

"Dong Ge is really down-to-earth, this is definitely not a staged photo. The Dong Express package I received at the company this afternoon was delivered by General Manager Liu!"

Soon, a netizen from Yanjing appeared in the comments section.

An hour later, news of two e-commerce giants, one delivering food and the other delivering packages, both became trending topics.

Suning's Zhang Jindong snorted coldly, secretly cursing Liu Qiangdong for being such a showman.

"No way! How is he so good at marketing?"

Zhang Xuhao, who was far away in Shanghai, was furious when he saw the photo of Chen Yansen wearing a food delivery worker's uniform.

Last week, he sent Ele.me's business and financial data to Ali, but it has been under review. He was extremely anxious, fearing that Kuaishou would take over Shanghai.

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and dialed Ji Gang's number directly.

"Mr. Ji, has Ele.me's financing application been approved?"

Zhang Xuhao got straight to the point.

"The process has reached Mr. Ma, but I'm not sure when it will be approved. Mr. Zhang, please wait a little longer."

Ji Gang didn't try to fool him. Originally, all Cai Xin needed to do was nod, but for some reason, Ma Liyun personally intervened in the investment case, thus extending the review period.

Is this guy trying to fool me?

Zhang Xuhao is now full of suspicion towards Ji Gang. There is no reason why a financing deal of 5000 million yuan would go through the process to Ma Liyun. Given Cai Xin's rank, he definitely has the authority to make the decision.

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Ji. Actually, I was just asking."

Zhang Xuhao laughed it off, saying one thing but meaning another.

Ji Gang smiled and then hung up the phone. In Cai's words, Ele.me's model had some potential and was worth investing in, but they needed to test Zhang Xuhao's ability to withstand pressure.

If the other party fails to withstand the pressure, Ahri's 5000 million yuan might be used to acquire a larger equity stake.

Just as Chen Yansen was raising his glass and clinking glasses with the deliverymen of Kuai Pao, Liu Qiangdong was also sitting in a food stall in Yanjing, with his arms around several Dongguan Express deliverymen, calling them brothers one after another.
