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

Chapter 209 Get things done without spending a penny!
After finishing lunch, Chen Yansen asked Xiao Li to take Old Chen home first.

He then took the elevator and entered a small banquet hall on the eighth floor.

At this moment, there were four people sitting in the room.

The leader was a middle-aged man with half-gray hair and beard, who looked to be in his forties or nearing fifty. He was wearing a black jacket and holding a teacup in his hand.

Beside him was a bespectacled man in his early thirties, wearing an indigo suit, sitting on only half of his buttocks in the chair, chatting with the middle-aged man.

The last two were young men, standing ramrod straight. They stood behind the two men and immediately became alert when they saw Chen Yansen walk in.

"Not much energy, but quite a large spectrum."

Chen Yansen's gaze swept quickly over the group, and he couldn't help but mutter a complaint to himself.

"Mr. Chen, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Tang Lixin, the person in charge of our county's central administration."

The bespectacled man quickly stood up and stood between Chen Yansen and Tang Lixin, introducing them with a smile.

Chen Yansen nodded slightly, stood still, and extended his right hand.

Upon seeing this, Tang Lixin thought for a moment, then stood up, took two steps forward, grasped Chen Yansen's hand, and said with a smile, "Mr. Chen, please forgive my intrusion."

Before Chen Yansen entered, he and his secretary had been waiting for more than an hour.

It's impossible not to be angry.

Normally, if an entrepreneur in the county wants to see someone, they would eagerly come to his door.

If it were Chen Yansen, he would have simply said that he wanted to have dinner with his father.

Tang Lixin was furious. He thought he would only have to wait for ten minutes at most, but he didn't expect the other party to make him wait for nearly two hours.

But he dared not retaliate!
As Chen Yansen's reputation in the business world grew, Tang Lixin naturally set his sights on him.

For a billionaire like Chen Yansen, even a small amount of money he could easily squeeze out and invest in a few projects at Chun Shen could become a significant asset for his career advancement.

Two weeks ago, the other party even got in touch with Meng Yuanzhi and snatched shares from state-owned assets, becoming the third largest shareholder of BOE.

Tang Lixin originally thought that no matter how talented Chen Yansen was, he was just a twenty-year-old young man, and he could get him to obediently hand over his money with just a few words.

To Tang Lixin's surprise, Chen Yansen had been standing at the door, extending his hand and waiting for him to come over and greet him, acting like a superior.

From this alone, he understood: Chen Yansen was definitely not someone to be trifled with!
"Mr. Tang, please sit down. Whatever the matter, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Chen Yansen took the initiative, speaking casually, clearly not taking Tang Lixin's identity to heart.

After all, he was just the head of a small county town; there are dozens of people like him in Huian Province.

He can give you face, or he can not.

Given his current wealth and status, he could simply ignore Tang Lixin.

"I heard that Mr. Chen plans to build a 100,000-square-meter mobile phone production base in Luzhou?"

Tang Lixin thought for a moment and then asked, "What's on the subject?"

"You're half right. Orange Technology does indeed plan to build a mobile phone branch factory in Luzhou, but the factory building is already there; it was originally the site of Hefei Steel Plant No. 3..."

Chen Yansen raised an eyebrow and deliberately revealed the reason, emphasizing that the factory building was personally approved by Meng Yuanzhi.

The implication is self-evident.

Tang Lixin carefully observed Chen Yansen's expression and demeanor, and combined this with his own understanding of this type of investment promotion work, and knew that Chen Yansen was not lying.

At the same time, I was secretly glad that I hadn't lost my temper and had chosen to swallow my anger.

He knew very well how attractive an entrepreneur like Chen Yansen, with a net worth of tens of billions and a willingness to invest in the real manufacturing industry, was to someone like Meng Yuanzhi.

“Mr. Chen, you are a native of this area, so you should be familiar with the situation in Chun Shen. Apart from the service industry, there are very few factories that can provide jobs with social security contributions…”

Tang Lixin spoke slowly, his words carefully chosen and tactful.

"The supporting facilities around Chun Shen are too poor and do not meet the conditions for building a factory."

Chen Yansen waved his hand, directly interrupting Tang Lixin.

Having lived two lives, he knows the saying "where there's shallow water, there are many turtles." That's why most entrepreneurs prefer to go to Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.

Because these places follow rules.

Although he had Meng Yuanzhi's private number saved on his phone, Chen Yansen knew in his heart that it was just an exchange of interests between them, and every time he contacted Meng Yuanzhi, he would have to pay a price.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Once he agrees to Tang Lixin's request to invest in and build a factory in Chunshen, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause in the future.

There are countless similar cases. Although Chen Yansen is not afraid, he finds it troublesome and there is no need to waste his energy and connections on it.

Upon hearing Chen Yansen's reply, Tang Lixin felt a pang of disappointment; the other party was far more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

Chen Yansen glanced at Tang Lixin and thought to himself: This guy is quite composed.

Since he agreed to meet Tang Lixin, it was certainly not to reject him.

“We can change the way we cooperate. Chunshen is a major agricultural county with abundant agricultural and sideline products and high output. We have no shortage of grain and oil food factories. In addition, we have specialties such as crisp pears, tofu, silver fish, salted chicken and salted duck.”

"If Mr. Tang can take the lead in guiding these companies to develop online channels, I can allocate some traffic resources on Pinduoduo Mall to products from Chunshen."

Chen Yansen smiled faintly and revealed his thoughts.

In this way, he would have to turn the tables and take the initiative by controlling local businesses in Chunshen, thereby increasing his influence.

Tang Lixin frowned. He knew about Pinduoduo and understood its general operating model, but in 2012, most factory owners still had an offline distribution mindset and had no concept of "going online" or "doing e-commerce".

Moreover, compared to investing in and building factories, this model is slower to produce results, less likely to yield significant achievements, and less likely to secure resources.

"Mr. Tang, do you know how much sales revenue Guangdong fruits can generate each month on Pinduoduo?"

Chen Yansen shook his head, seeing through Tang Lixin's thoughts at a glance, and then asked again.

"Fruit is a product that is difficult to transport and has a lot of losses, so at most it costs a few hundred thousand a day."

Tang Lixin pondered for a moment and answered based on his past experience.

"Starting at 2000 million a day!" Chen Yansen said calmly, looking at Tang Lixin. 2000 million?
Wouldn't that be 6 million a month?

Tang Lixin looked surprised and somewhat incredulous.

“The Bagongshan crisp pears and Anong peaches from Chunshen could certainly replicate this successful model. Take the crisp pears for example, fruit vendors only pay 0.6-0.8 yuan per kilogram for them. If they are sold online, the price can easily double.”

Chen Yansen painted a rosy picture for Tang Lixin, then talked about mallard ducks and white geese, and said that Yunsu Express would increase cold chain delivery after the New Year.

Local farmers can sell their products all over the country with the help of Pinduoduo and Yunsu Express.

Tang Lixin's attitude also changed from initial indifference to increasing importance.

"Mr. Tang, what do you think?" Chen Yansen asked with a smile.

Tang Lixin felt that Chen Yansen's words made perfect sense, and every word he said made him feel a strong sense of trust.

“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. On behalf of everyone in Chun Shen, I would like to express my gratitude to Mr. Chen.”

Tang Lixin looked excited, and at this point, he actually stood up and bowed.

"Mr. Tang, you're too kind." Chen Yansen pulled Tang Lixin down to sit.

He secretly marveled: This mental value of 14.78 is indeed useful; even a worldly and experienced shrewd person like Tang Lixin has fallen into his hands.

Generally speaking, no matter how eloquent or narrating Chen Yansen is, it is difficult to change Tang Lixin's preconceived notions.

But through the power of his will, he managed to do it.

After Tang Lixin sat down again, he immediately said to his secretary, "Siyuan, go back and immediately compile information on companies that meet the requirements, such as primary products like chickens, ducks, fish, geese, and fruits. Find factories with online operation capabilities as soon as possible, and then give the list to Mr. Chen."

"Okay, boss."

As Tang Lixin's assistant, Zhao Siyuan knew his boss's temperament well. The fact that he could say this in front of Chen Yansen showed that he approved of the project and was willing to support it.

"Mr. Chen, I heard that your father opened a bookstore near the entrance of Chun Shen No. 2 Middle School?"

After receiving a satisfactory result, Tang Lixin then talked about Chen Yansen's personal affairs.

Chen Yansen nodded slightly, understanding Tang Lixin's meaning.

"To be honest, the county plans to move all the schools and hospitals in the city to the outskirts and vigorously develop the tourism industry. Chun Shen No. 2 Middle School will definitely have to be moved out. Siyuan, keep an eye out and pick out a few good shops for Mr. Chen near the school."

Sure enough, Tang Lixin immediately began to reciprocate.

He wouldn't care about a few shops, and he knew Chen Yansen wouldn't care either.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Tang." Chen Yansen readily agreed.

As for asking Tang Lixin to provide security services for Chen Guobin, Chen Yansen didn't mention it at all.

If his plan can be realized, it can increase agricultural and industrial output by at least 30-50 billion yuan a year, and tens of thousands of people will have to rely on hard work to make a living in the future.

Not to mention Tang Lixin, even these locals treat Chen Guobin like their own father.

All Chen Yansen contributed was a small amount of traffic resources from Pinbei Mall, which also boosted the platform's performance.

Not only did they not spend a single penny, but they also managed to make Tang Lixin extremely grateful when he left.

Chen Yansen walked out of the hotel lobby, got into the car, and then instructed Xiao Li to drive into the city.

"Boss, Chen Yansen is a very shrewd and calculating man. He doesn't seem like a twenty-year-old at all," Zhao Siyuan said in a low voice.

“Which young man in his twenties could achieve what he has? This kid is very slippery, he won’t spend a penny, and he’s very wary.”

Tang Lixin sighed.

"Then, will the plan to put agricultural products online, which we just mentioned, still be implemented?" Zhao Siyuan asked again, somewhat unsure of Tang Lixin's thoughts.

"Of course we should promote it! Did you think I was just agreeing? Those fruit farmers in Xiyue can earn millions a year. Our Bagongshan pears and peaches are also quite good. As long as Chen Yansen is willing to help, are we afraid we won't be able to sell them?"

Tang Lixin smiled and asked in return.

In any case, at least they gave us a chance.

That evening, Zhao Siyuan, using Tang Lixin's name, gathered together large-scale livestock farmers, fruit growers, grain and oil company owners, and local specialty distributors around Chun Shen to announce the Pinduoduo entry plan after the New Year.

"Open an online store? We've never done that before, is it even possible?"

"I've heard of Pinbei. The boss seems to be a local from Chunshen. Secretary Zhao, could you introduce us?"

"Our company's main products are rice and cooking oil. Can we sell these online?"

After hearing Zhao Siyuan's description, the meeting room erupted in chaos, with familiar bosses spontaneously starting to discuss it.

At this moment, Tang Lixin walked in, and everyone immediately shut up.

"The county has reached an agreement with Mr. Chen of Pinbei Technology. As long as it is a factory or company in Chun Shen, it will receive additional traffic exposure after joining Pinbei. It doesn't matter if you don't understand operations, we will just hire people who do."

Tang Lixin spoke eloquently.

After returning from the hotel, he crammed on information about e-commerce and Pinduoduo, and only then did he realize that Chen Yansen had not misled him.

at the same time.

Chen Yansen got out of the car, carrying two gift bags. He had just turned into a small alley on Qipan Street when he bumped into a young girl.

Her short, fluffy hair hung down to her shoulders, a beauty mark was faintly visible under her eye, her fair face had a rosy blush, and she was wearing a red down jacket.

This color might look tacky on someone else.

But when she wore it, it was like a blooming flame, bright and beautiful, brimming with endless youthful energy.

Compared to their last meeting, the girl had clearly grown a few centimeters taller, reaching only Chen Yansen's chin when she stood in front of him.

"Is there a gift for me in here?" The girl stopped and looked Chen Yansen up and down, then asked with a smile.

"You have a fart, do you want it or not?"

Chen Yansen raised the corners of his mouth slightly and asked with a wicked smile.
