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

Chapter 207 Total sales amounted to 50.7 billion. Lei Yijun: Didn't you say you weren't making mobile phones?
"Grand Prize! Congratulations to employee numbers 97, 261, and 519! Please come up to the stage to receive your prizes!"

Wang Teng stood on the stage of the Sky Garden banquet hall and announced loudly.

"Wow! Mr. Ye, you're incredibly lucky today! Congratulations!"

"Wenwen, you've won the lottery!"

"Brother Bin, you have to treat me to dinner tomorrow!"

As soon as the list of winners for the grand prize was announced, cheers erupted from the crowd.

Chen Yansen glanced at Ye Qiuping, surprised that this woman was quite lucky. There were only three spots available, and out of more than 700 employees, she was chosen.

The second person to win the 200,000 yuan prize was Zhou Yuwen from the customer service department of Orange Technology. She was a freshman majoring in journalism in the 2011 class of the School of Literature and Communication, and her face was flushed with excitement.

It's worth noting that the total tuition and living expenses for four years of the virtual college would not exceed 80,000 yuan.

In other words, this girl easily earned four years' worth of tuition and fees tonight, and with the remaining money, she can buy a car worth over 100,000 yuan.

The third winner was Wu Jiabin, the event operator from the e-commerce department. He was also overjoyed and walked onto the stage with Ye Qiuping and Zhou Yuting.

Wang Teng, carrying a bundle of cash—twenty stacks in total—smiled and handed it to Ye Qiuping.

He then turned around, picked up two bundles of cash, and stuffed them into the hands of Zhou Yuwen and Wu Jiabin respectively.

Ye Qiuping maintained a perfectly measured smile throughout. To her, 200,000 yuan was a lot, but it was only two and a half months' salary.

Zhou Yuwen and Wu Jiabin, standing to the side, had completely lost control of their facial expressions, grinning foolishly the whole time, their minds spinning, feeling like they were dreaming.

"After the New Year, we'll talk to the park management and rent out Building 9 next door as well."

Chen Yansen turned his head and gave instructions to He Shuang, the administrative manager.

Today, Orange Technology's headquarters has more than 700 employees. Building No. 8 is just a small to medium-sized office building, and as the number of employees increases, the workstations are becoming more and more crowded.

Building No. 9 has 1600 square meters per floor and a floor height of 4.4 meters. It has 8 floors and can accommodate more than 2000 people working at the same time, which is enough to support Orange Technology's expansion needs in 2012.

“Okay, boss.” He Shuang nodded in response.

Chen Yansen glanced at the time, greeted Gao Weilin, Yan Peng, Zhang Cong, Zhou Ze and others, and then left the banquet hall with Meng Jie, entered the elevator, and headed straight for the guest rooms on the eighth floor.

Mr. Chen didn't even think about going back to the virtual college that night. He slept until noon the next day, just in time to attend the Pinbei annual meeting.

the other side.

Clutching the car keys Chen Yansen had given her, Song Yuncheng sat alone on the library stairs, staring blankly at the road across from the school.

The scene of my first meeting with Chen Yansen involuntarily floated into my mind. It was raining heavily that day, and I was wearing a raincoat and dragging my suitcase toward the East Gate.

When Chen Yansen drove over the puddle, he got splashed with mud and water.

If you weren't so good-looking, I would have smashed a brick in your face.

Thinking of this, Song Yuncheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

She knew in her heart that if she hadn't met Chen Yansen, she would probably still be working part-time at the library and cafeteria, eating only free seaweed and egg soup with rice every day to save money.

The other party pulled her out of the mire and promoted her from a clueless newbie in the workplace to the position of Director of Major Client Investment Promotion. This is why Song Yuncheng likes to call Chen Yansen her master.

Master, you've taught me to be so capable, aren't you afraid that one day I'll leave you?

Song Yuncheng sighed and muttered softly.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Song Yuncheng came back to her senses. She suddenly stood up and walked towards the dormitory.

at the same time.

Guanlan Building, No. 28 Xueyuan Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou.

Cheng Weixing sat in a chair, holding a test device, trying out the Kuaidi Dache 1.0 version. There were no drivers or customers at the moment, so the simulation could only be conducted in a virtual environment.

"Mr. Cheng, the performance and compatibility tests have passed, but there are still some security vulnerabilities. I suggest implementing a dual verification mode that obtains both the IMEI and UUID numbers to prevent black market operators from using virtual machines and fake registered accounts to obtain new customer subsidies."

Xu Jianming sat opposite Cheng Weixing and said with a stern face.

According to the original R&D schedule, Kuaidi Dache was supposed to be available on app stores before the Spring Festival. However, when Cheng Weixing sent the technical documents to Chen Yansen for review, they were rejected shortly afterward.

"The security situation is riddled with problems. Once targeted by black market organizations, 50 yuan can be stolen from every 100 yuan of marketing expenses for Kuaidi Dache."

Chen Yansen commented without any reservations.

Cheng Weixing then realized that he had been so focused on developing the user and driver registration and login system, as well as basic functions such as location tracking, ride-hailing, order acceptance, payment, and ratings, that he had forgotten about the most critical modules such as user privacy protection and data transmission encryption.

After being reminded by his boss, Cheng Weixing immediately established an anti-cheating team and a data security center, requiring team members to be more knowledgeable about various cheating methods than black market organizations.

The ride-hailing service, striving for speed, will avoid making basic mistakes after its launch.

If a user is found to have modified their GPS location information, posted fake travel itineraries, or registered a large number of new accounts, the account will be immediately frozen and handed over to the inspection station for processing.

"Sharpening your axe won't delay your work; our previous version was indeed too rough."

Cheng Weixing chuckled self-deprecatingly, secretly rejoicing.

"Mr. Cheng, I'll go back to work then," Xu Jianming said with a dry laugh as he stood up.

"It's almost 22 p.m., let everyone go home and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Cheng Weixing glanced at the sky outside the window. The nearby buildings were pitch black, and the streets were deserted. He then urged them on.

"Mr. Cheng, I understand."

Xu Jianming responded and left the conference room with his laptop.

To save costs, the R&D team of Kuaidi Dache originally worked in a residential building, but after receiving funding from Senlian Capital, they immediately upgraded their operations and moved to a bright and clean office building.

Everyone's salary and benefits have also been adjusted, including a housing allowance of 20% of their monthly salary, meal allowance, transportation allowance, and quarterly bonus, as well as overtime pay paid in strict accordance with labor laws.

As a result, the development of Kuaidi Dache (a ride-hailing service) progressed by leaps and bounds, and Cheng Weixing was urging his employees to leave work every day.

Otherwise, these programmers would definitely stay up until the early hours of the morning.

……

……

The next morning, Chen Yansen slowly opened his eyes. He had traveled to Shanghai, Luzhou, Shenzhen, and Xucheng, attending four annual meetings in one go, but he felt no fatigue whatsoever.

His exceptional physical and mental strength allowed him to overcome most of his negative states.

Chen Yansen threw back the covers and sat down on the sofa.

Turn on your computer and log in to the data backend.

Orange Technology's two new products have been online for six days, with a total of 357 million units sold. Among them, Orange D1 sold 256 million units and Orange C2 sold 101 million units, with a total sales revenue of 50.7 billion yuan.

However, during this period, sales of the Orange C1 began to decline sharply, with total sales of only 27.3 units over six days.

Compared to Xiaomi, Meizu, and OPPO, this number is still far beyond their reach, but the decline is already evident.

After all, the price difference between the standard version of the Orange C1 and the Orange C2 is only 700 yuan. Users who are more demanding in terms of mobile phone performance and photo quality will naturally prefer to buy the Orange C2 with higher configuration.

Just then, the phone on the bedside table suddenly vibrated.

Mengjie was quickly awakened by the noise. She poked her head out from under the covers, looking sleepy.

When I picked it up, I found it was a call from Meng Zhenguo.

In an instant, all sleepiness vanished.

She gestured for Chen Yansen to be quiet, then pressed the answer button: "Dad, I'm not awake yet."

"When are you coming back? Grandpa and Grandma miss you."

Meng Zhenguo sat in his living room and asked with a smile.

Before going to work in the morning, he thought of his daughter and couldn't help but make a phone call.

"I should be home by tomorrow afternoon. You don't need to pick me up. Yes, Wang Zihao, Chen Yansen, and I will drive back together."

Mengjie replied.

Upon hearing the name Chen Yansen, Meng Zhenguo's smile froze, and he felt a mix of emotions.

In terms of emotional intelligence, experience, eloquence, and earning power, Chen Yansen is undoubtedly the best candidate for son-in-law.

But in Meng Zhenguo's view, his daughter had no control over him at all.

"Have all your roommates left? It sounds quite quiet to me," Meng Zhenguo asked again.

"Yes, the virtual college has been on holiday for two weeks. That guy Chen Yansen has been forcing me to do profit and loss statements and cash flow statements every day. If it weren't for the company's annual meeting yesterday, I would have had to work overtime."

Meng Jie lied without batting an eye, and then began to complain about how Chen Yansen exploited her.

The finance department had already prepared these reports, but Chen Yansen insisted that she do them again, claiming it was to cultivate her independent financial analysis skills.

“That kid is pretty bad. Have him come over for the New Year, and I’ll teach him a lesson for you.”

Meng Zhenguo deliberately put on a stern face and said.

From his daughter's few words, he could tell that Mengjie had learned something real at Orange Technology.

"Dad, I was just kidding. Actually, Chen Yansen is very good to me."

Hearing her father's serious tone, Mengjie thought she had overacted and quickly explained.

Meng Zhenguo smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly. Judging from his daughter's attitude, she could happily count the money if Chen Yansen sold her off one day.

He thought for a moment, then added with concern, "Keep a close eye on him. This kid has neither money nor looks to his name. You have to keep a close eye on him, lest he be snatched away by other girls. I can't bear to see you sad and upset."

“Dad, you don’t understand. He’s different from other boys.” Meng Jie didn’t listen to her father at all and instead spoke up for Chen Yansen.

Meng Zhenguo clutched his chest, taking a while to recover. He finally said, "It's fine for you two to date, your father and mother don't object, but some things shouldn't be done too early, understand?"

Meng Jie blushed upon hearing this, looked up, and met Chen Yansen's mischievous grin. She hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll hang up now, I'm going to be late for work."

After saying that, Meng Jie hung up the phone before Meng Zhenguo could react.

"Tsk tsk, it turns out that Class Monitor Meng is such a good liar."

Chen Yansen joked with a smile.

"It's all because of you!" Meng Jie rolled her eyes at him, then jumped up and clung to Chen Yansen's arms, asking softly, "So, if you meet a pretty girl, will you be kidnapped?"

"of course not."

Chen Yansen carried her toward the bathtub, speaking with certainty.

In his mind, he added: Usually, pretty girls are the ones I steal away, like you.

at this time.

Xiaomi's headquarters in Beijing is also busy preparing for its annual meeting.

After Xiaomi phones were launched on Pinduoduo, JD.com, Taobao, and Suning.com, the company leveraged all channels and finally achieved total sales of 200 million units.

Lei Yijun was in high spirits. Sitting in his office, looking at the business reports, he was filled with confidence.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-!"

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" Lei Yijun stopped smiling and called out loudly.

Li Wanqiang pushed open the door and walked in. Before he even sat down, he began to report: "President Lei, I just received news that 360 and Haier are preparing to jointly develop a smartphone to compete with Xiaomi and Orange phones."

"Is Zhou Hongyi also going to make mobile phones?"

Lei Yijun was slightly taken aback, then realized what he meant and muttered to himself, "Didn't you say you weren't going to make phones?"

"Strictly speaking, this phone is just a Haier product, and 360 is responsible for its promotion and sales."

Li Wanqiang continued.

This approach is quite common among the three major telecom operators, but it's the first time it's been seen among internet companies.

To put it bluntly, it's a special edition model!
