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

Chapter 232 6.6 Employees, Mental Power! 2600 Billion in Pre-sales for the Whole Year!
On the first day of March, the sky was overcast with thick, leaden clouds and a light drizzle fell.

Chen Yansen put down his book, "Analytical Mechanics," glanced out the window, let out a heavy sigh, and then activated the system panel.

With the rapid development of Yunsu Express, Orange Technology, Pinbei, and Kuaipao, the number of its employees has also increased. As of February 29, the total number of employees contributing to the company's humanitarian cause has reached 66,000.

Among them, Yunsu Express and Orange Mobile Phone Factory account for the majority, reaching as high as 89.8%.

Orange Technology has 1137 employees and labor costs of 3638 million yuan.
Pinbei Technology has 985 employees, with labor costs of 2068 million yuan;
Orange Pay has 311 employees, with labor costs of 590 million yuan;
Yunsu Express has 43192 employees, with labor costs of 34553 million yuan;
Kuaipao has 3739 employees and labor costs of 3103 million yuan.
Orange Mobile Phone Factory has 16034 employees, with labor costs of 13949 million yuan;
Kuaidi Dache has 563 employees, with labor costs of 788 million yuan.

Once Gao Weilin completes the acquisition of Gaode Maps and Quanfeng Express, he can add at least several thousand more humanitarian torches every month.

Adding the remaining 43 strands from February, the Humanity Flame number on the panel is now 58732, enough to synthesize 587 Divine Flames.

Based on the current growth trend, his mental strength may break through 100 in less than half a year, at which point he will most likely gain a brand new talent ability.

Given Chen Yansen's wealth and status, he may not need these talents, but he absolutely cannot be without them.

In fact, the development of patents such as speech recognition tools, Aurora OS 1.4 operating system, camera algorithms, power management system, heat dissipation technology, mobile phone structural design and circuit layout all rely on the talent of "photographic memory".

Otherwise, relying solely on the R&D department, it would probably take three to six months to complete each technology patent.

"Synthesize! Add some!"

Chen Yansen focused his mind.

A vast golden mist appeared out of nowhere, instantly entering his brow and strengthening his brain and spirit within a few breaths.

Soon, Chen Yansen keenly noticed that the coverage area of ​​his divine sense had increased; it was originally only a little over ten meters, but now it was about twelve meters.

The surrounding buildings, furniture, and the outlines of each person's body have gained a lot of detailed lines again. Although they still look like simple line drawings, the names on the book covers can now be seen clearly. The text is mostly in size 4 or 5 font, but under Chen Yansen's perception, it is all blurred into a mess, and he cannot tell what the words are at all.

Chen Yansen thought for a moment and realized that if the expressive power of divine sense were simply converted, it would be equivalent to the world perceived by a person who cannot see any color and has 500 degrees of myopia, after taking off their glasses.

The only difference is that he can 'see' further; the surrounding area of ​​over 100 square meters is all within his perception range.

The Spirit stat increased from 18.96 to 24.83!

As if sensing something was amiss, Chen Yansen instinctively pushed open the doors and windows, only to see that the fine raindrops had formed an almost imperceptible arc in the air a dozen meters above the ground.

This change is too subtle.

If it weren't for his extraordinary eyesight and observation skills, Chen Yansen would have had no chance of discovering it either.

Is this because the mental power is too strong, thus interfering with reality?
He subconsciously closed his eyes, and under the perception of his divine sense, even the countless dust particles in the air seemed to encounter a strong wind, being 'blown' further and further away.

Chen Yansen was startled and immediately felt that things were a bit troublesome. If his mental strength broke through 100 or 1000, wouldn't he unconsciously push away all objects within a radius of tens of meters?

At that time, unless he hides in a sparsely populated mountain, everyone will be able to notice the abnormality in him.

No, we need to find a solution as soon as possible!

Chen Yansen thought secretly.

His brain worked at lightning speed. Based on his previous knowledge, he singled out any method that had any basis, whether from a scientific or metaphysical perspective.

In summary, there are only three directions: consumption, inhibition, or control.

The first approach is to view the spirit as a form of energy, and by consuming a portion of it, one can weaken one's influence on the people and things around them.

But Chen Yansen knew in his heart that his physical and mental values ​​were fixed and there was no such thing as depletion.

The second approach is much easier. Diazepam, lorazepam, phenobarbital, and haloperidol can all suppress a person's mental state, but these are all used to treat mental illnesses.

Chen Yansen worried that even with his 10.1 physique, taking too much medicine would drive him insane.

Or find a substance that can absorb or interfere with his mental power, but that would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

The third approach has two approaches. From a scientific perspective, there is a method of mental coiling, where one imagines their mental energy as a thread, winding it around a fixed object. From a metaphysical perspective, it involves creating a mental object in the mind and pouring mental energy onto it to achieve the effect of mental introspection.

After sorting out his thoughts, Chen Yansen pulled a toothpick from a jar on the coffee table and held it in his hand.

He stared intently at the toothpick, imagining an invisible force winding around it.

One lap, two laps, three laps, four laps...

As Chen Yansen silently counted to five, he vaguely felt an extremely weak force pulling on the toothpick.

effective!
Chen Yansen was delighted and continued to maintain a high level of concentration. When he wrapped the rope for the thirtieth time, the pulling force gradually became stronger.

On the hundredth lap, the toothpick began to shake violently.

Chen Yansen tried to let go, and the toothpick floated in mid-air, as if it were being held up by an invisible hand.

A dozen seconds later, Chen Yansen finally felt mentally exhausted. Picking up the toothpick was more tiring than doing hundreds of squats with a 1000-kilogram barbell.

Let's test your perception again!
Chen Yansen extended his 'divine sense' and was pleasantly surprised to find that the rain outside the window was indeed less affected.

Then, he picked up the toothpick again and held it for sixty seconds straight.

The effect was obvious, but Chen Yansen quickly realized that it was counterproductive. In less than two minutes, he was exhausted.

The side effects of intervening in reality are gone, but what's the point of living if he's left exhausted and confined to his room every day?
Fuck!
This damn system deserves a way to control it!

Damn it, they kill people but don't bury them!

Chen Yansen couldn't help but complain a few times, sighed helplessly, picked up his last hope, and let his mind wander.

What are you visualizing?

cell phone?

refrigerator?

Tai Chi diagram?
Chen Yansen chuckled, shook his head, and then closed his eyes. The simple sketch in his mind lingered, like an instinct.

He could only force himself to concentrate, imagining a black hole above his head, swallowing up all matter and light sources, including mental energy.

But after pondering it for a long time, nothing changed.

Chen Yansen had a flash of inspiration and imagined his mental energy as a black hole, forcefully devouring everything around it. The moment this thought arose, the simple outline of the drawing within his spiritual sense's range, as if encountering a vacuum cleaner, instantly disappeared into the black hole.

My brain was completely black, with only a deep, swirling black hole remaining.

Become!

Chen Yansen was overjoyed!
He suddenly opened his eyes and glanced around. To his surprise, he spotted an ant trying to crawl into the living room through the crack in the door.

You should know that ever since he awakened his 'biological suppression' instinct, 0418 has been so inactive that not even a single grub dares to crawl in, let alone an ant.

Chen Yansen glanced at the time; only half an hour had passed.

He pushed open the door, went downstairs, and left the teachers' apartment.

I got into the driver's seat of the Ghost and drove towards the science park.

The students of the School of Continuing Education on Xuelin Road were already used to this. This Rolls-Royce, which cost eight million yuan, drove past them like a used Changan car, without attracting anyone's attention.

Arriving at the conference room in Building 8 at exactly nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Yansen didn't even miss the morning meeting.

Soon after, the heads of various departments walked in one after another.

Xiong Li from the HR department suddenly looked up and secretly sized up Chen Yansen. She felt that the boss was a little different today. His usual intimidating aura was gone, and he seemed to have become more easygoing.

"Hu Yun, report the data for February."

Once everyone had arrived, Chen Yansen gave instructions to Hu Yun.

A fleeting look of envy crossed Zhang Yifeng's eyes. Hu Yun had been appointed as the director of the data department by his boss in February, but the position of director of the merchant operations department that he had been longing for remained undecided.

"Okay, boss. Pinduoduo currently has a total of 2.7 million registered users, 4100 million daily active users, an average daily order volume of 830 million in February, a daily sales volume of 7.6 million yuan, and an average order value of 91.6 yuan, which is 13.7% higher than in January."

Food, home furnishings, and women's apparel form the first tier of categories; maternity and baby products, underwear, men's apparel, and digital home appliances form the second tier; and beauty products, automotive products, bags and accessories, and footwear form the third tier.

Hu Yun turned on his computer, set up screen mirroring, and opened a PowerPoint presentation to begin his report.

Chen Yansen nodded in satisfaction. From the perspective of sales data, Pinbei's business volume was almost on par with JD.com, but there was still a huge gap with Taobao.

Taobao C-store and Yaomao Mall have daily sales of at least 25 billion, or even 30 billion.

He turned to Zhang Yifeng and asked, "What is the current status of merchants joining Pinbei?"

"Boss, including white-label factories in the production areas and fruit vendors in the vegetable and fruit production areas, there are a total of 9720 companies. Among them, C-level brands account for 47%, B-level brands account for 31%, A-level brands account for 19%, and S-level brands account for 3%. B-level brands have the highest output share, and S-level brands have the lowest."

When Zhang Yifeng saw his name called by the boss, he quickly answered.

S-level brands offer weak discounts, so their sales are naturally not very good; B-level brands have high production capacity and little brand premium, so they can offer the maximum discounts. In terms of sales ability, they can't even beat A-level brands.

“If I remember correctly, Yifeng was one of the first veteran employees of FoxTao, and his performance ranking in the business development team has never fallen out of the top three,” Chen Yansen said.

"It seems so." Zhang Yifeng's heart skipped a beat, and he grinned as he spoke.

"Being the Merchant Operations Director at Pinbei is much harder than achieving sales targets. You've been training as the Recruitment Team Leader for a year and a half. I believe in your abilities, so don't let me down."

Chen Yansen patted Zhang Yifeng on the shoulder.

"Boss, don't worry, I will definitely make the operations department number one in the industry." Zhang Yifeng was overjoyed. After half a year of hard work, the position of operations director finally fell to him.

"Number one in the industry? You'd better beat Taobao first!"

Chen Yansen jokingly said, then added, "Brands, products, and data metrics are certainly important, but you also need to be well-informed about market trends and competitors' activities. Go out and visit more places, communicate more with merchants in industrial zones, and think more about how to utilize platform resources to create more success stories."

“Okay, boss, I understand,” Zhang Yifeng quickly replied.

Chen Yansen smiled faintly and then turned his gaze to Wang Zihao.

"The overall increase in new customers in February was 8713 million, averaging 300 million per day. Internal referrals accounted for 44%, QQ and WeChat primary traffic sources accounted for 19%, external channel advertising accounted for 28%, and organic traffic accounted for 9%. Total advertising spending last month was 1.7 million..."

Wang Zihao reported in an orderly manner.

Chen Yansen glanced at the visualized data charts on the big screen. It was clear that the user acquisition work of the advertising team was becoming increasingly difficult, and the CPA price was also getting higher and higher.

After all, there are less than 600 million internet users in China. If you exclude those who don't like online shopping, Pinduoduo's 270 million registered users are not far from its traffic limit.

If you want to maintain your user acquisition speed, you need to extend your user acquisition channels to fifth-tier cities and below or rural markets.

"Zhuang Rui, we need to pay more attention to user retention and activation. Compared with last year, the cost of acquiring new users has obviously increased by 30%. Traffic will only become more and more expensive, so it is more important to retain users."

Chen Yansen looked at Zhuang Rui and said.

"I've discussed this with Zihao. After the 10th, we'll be sending out 'old customer reactivation' bonuses ranging from 5 to 10 yuan to inactive users," Zhuang Rui replied.

Zhuang Rui then discussed the product optimization direction for March, which mainly involves using additional subsidies to recall registered users who have not placed an order and users who have not placed an order within 15 days.

After he finished his report, the heads of the major account development department, technology department, customer department, and human resources department also gave their work summaries.

Pinbei's rise has exceeded everyone's expectations.

Based on sales figures for January and February, Pinduoduo's annual sales will reach over 2600 billion yuan, accounting for almost 25% of Ali's market share.

Before the meeting ended, Chen Yansen instructed the operations and marketing departments to work together to prepare for Pinduoduo's 618 promotion.

at the same time.

Suning announced that it will hold an appliance shopping festival on April 18, offering the lowest prices across the entire internet.

Liu Qiangdong immediately responded on Weibo: JD.com's home appliance prices are definitely lower than Suning's.

Suddenly, these two e-commerce platforms, whose product categories are digital home appliances, once again launched a price war.

Despite knowing the time was tight, Liu Qiangdong still convened a meeting overnight with purchasing and sales managers from East China, North China, and South China to compete with Suning for traffic on April 418th.

Seeing this, Chen Yansen immediately realized how wise his previous decision was: using Pinduoduo's traffic to attract Suning and JD.com to join, thus avoiding direct competition.

The next morning, Gao Weilin rushed back from Yanjing. After a week of negotiations, he and his team finally finalized the acquisition price and process for Quanfeng Express.
