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

Chapter 294 53 units per second! Kuaipao's front-end warehouses are making a splash, with imitators flocking to follow suit!
The new Orange phone officially went on sale at 6 PM on August 18th.

The Orange C3 and Green Orange D1S are available for purchase simultaneously on Orange Mall's official website, Pinduoduo's 10 Billion Subsidy program, Taobao, Suning, Gome, Yi Xun, and other channels.

Within an hour of its launch, the total sales of the Orange D1S across the entire network exceeded 13.1 units, while the Orange C3 sold 5.2 units. Its market performance was no weaker than that of the Orange C2 and Orange D1, and even significantly stronger.

"The Chinese smartphone market is in turmoil: the king of mid-range phones in terms of cost-effectiveness—the Orange C3!"

"Not a single one that can compete? The Qingcheng D1S sells 36 units per second, a killer phone for under 1000 yuan!"

"Shanxing is in dire straits, while domestic mobile phone brands are rising strongly!"

The homepages of news websites such as Toutiao, Weibo, Sohu, Tencent, Sina, and NetEase are filled with praise for Orange Technology.

The sales of Orange C3 and Green Orange D1S in the first hour once again proved that Orange Technology's success was by no means accidental, and it has become a leader among domestic mobile phones.

In terms of shipments, Orange Phone is far ahead, surpassing Lenovo, Apple, Huawei and ZTE, and is only one step away from the top spot held by Shanxing.

I don't know which netizen posted this online: "Chinese people using Chinese machines, we can't let Samsung be too arrogant!"

It instantly ignited everyone's passion for buying the device!
"With the same configuration, Shanxing Galaxy series dares to sell for 4000 or 5000 yuan. Those bastards are making money off us and then cursing us behind our backs, calling us Chinese and 'noodles with soybean paste'!"

"Can't you all have some backbone? From now on, we'll use Orange phones!"

“Supporting Orange Technology is to inject momentum into my country’s scientific and technological research and development. Every Orange phone sold can generate 75 yuan in revenue for our compatriots in Shenzhen’s mobile phone factories.”

Netizens shared their opinions in the comments section, and related searches quickly rose to the top of the trending topics, attracting a large number of casual viewers.

In the second hour after its launch, the total sales of the Qingcheng D1S reached 27.6 units across the entire network, while the Orange C3 sold 10.9 units.

This scene left the competitors dumbfounded.

"You can market like this?" Yu Chendong, Lei Yijun, and the others were shocked, but they secretly started to make their own calculations.

the other side.

Chen Yansen had just returned to the science park when he plopped down on the sofa, took out his phone to check the latest news, and prepared to find out the market feedback on the new orange product.

When he saw the entry "Chinese people only buy Chinese-made machines", he was slightly taken aback and subconsciously clicked on it.

"Has Orange Technology also benefited from the dividends?"

After a quick glance, Chen Yansen understood the whole story, then chuckled and dialed Ye Qiuping's number: "Come over here."

He wanted to confirm whether this promotional strategy came from the brand department!
"Hmph! What a hypocrite." Ye Qiuping put down the phone, smiled faintly, picked up a document, and walked leisurely towards her office.

……

……

Longhua Middle Road, Shanghai.

Sitting in his bright and clean office, Zhang Peng noticed that his supervisor wasn't at his desk, so he quietly took out his phone and started slacking off.

I was thinking of ordering a milk tea and fried chicken, but I discovered a takeout shop nearby called 'Orange Smart Living Hall'.

Orange Intelligence?

What is the relationship between Orange Technology and Orange Technology?
Out of curiosity, Zhang Peng clicked in without hesitation. The store only had four categories: new product launches, Orange phones, audio-visual products, and exclusive accessories.

手机商品包含了橙子C1、橙子C2、橙子D2、橙子C3和青橙D1S，影音视听分区有莫斯智能音箱、橙子蓝牙耳机，专属配件里有橙子移动电源、手机壳、数据线、贴膜等产品。

Looking at the store information again, it turned out to be the official flagship store of Orange Technology.

"If I list it on a food delivery platform, will it arrive in 29 minutes?"

Zhang Peng looked at the iPhone 4 in his hand, a prize he won two years ago when he participated in FoxTao's "0 Yuan Bargain" event.

Although this phone can still be used for another two years, faced with the new model with a large screen, high memory and AI voice interaction engine, he still silently added a 32GB version of the Orange C3 to his shopping cart and reluctantly completed the payment and order.

After using a 5 yuan coupon, the final price is 3194 yuan!
With his computer science degree from Shanghai University of Science and Technology, he was able to find a job with a monthly salary of 12,000 yuan after graduation. However, living in Shanghai is not easy. After deducting social insurance and housing fund contributions, he was left with only 9840 yuan. After deducting expenses such as rent, food, and transportation, he could not even save 4000 yuan a month.

Therefore, he felt particularly bad about spending 3194 yuan. If the product performance was not as good as expected and not as amazing as Wang Teng had boasted at the press conference, he would definitely turn from a fan to a hater and chase after Chen Yansen on Weibo to curse him every day.

"Xiao Zhang, the fund team has a small request for a web page plugin. I'm assigning you to follow up on it. Do a good job, and I'll give you a raise at the end of the year."

Just as Zhang Peng was slacking off, his supervisor slowly walked over, assigning him tasks while promising him a rosy picture of success.

"Okay, Sister Ling."

Zhang Peng nodded in agreement quickly, while discreetly putting away his phone.

Apple's salary level is not high compared to that of big internet companies; they rely entirely on year-end bonuses to have a good year.

The amount of the year-end bonus is in the hands of Sister Ling, who is right in front of us.

Zhang Peng is very clear-headed. He prioritizes his boss's instructions over slacking off. Keeping the boss happy is far more important than doing his job well.

In the melting pot of Shanghai, Zhang Peng learned the workplace skills of 'managing upwards' early on: doing more is not as good as talking more, and talking more is not as good as talking well.

"Go ahead, the product and business colleagues are in conference room B05," Chen Fengling waved her hand and instructed with a smile.

In her eyes, Zhang Peng was young, tall, handsome, smart, sweet-talking, and had a high and straight nose. Unfortunately, Ping An did not allow office romances.

Otherwise, she really wanted to win over Zhang Peng.

Young and beautiful new employees are always seen as easy targets by their bosses, sometimes regardless of gender.

Half an hour later, Zhang Peng, who had just finished his meeting, suddenly remembered that he hadn't picked up his takeout. He quickly took out his phone, and the Kuaipao APP showed that the order status had been completed and the delivery rider had put the phone in the takeout locker on the first floor of the company.

KuaiPao's delivery timeliness remains as punctual as ever.

Without a second thought, Zhang Peng took the elevator to the lobby on the first floor, found the corresponding delivery locker number, entered the pickup code, and immediately received a brand new Orange C3.

The outermost packaging was a corrugated cardboard box, inside which was the Orange C3 phone itself. When he opened it all, his eyes lit up.

The actual Orange C3 is far more stunning than the photos and videos. It has an ultra-thin body, a super large display screen, and a super comfortable grip. The box includes a charger, data cable, instruction manual, and warranty card.

Zhang Peng took his phone and returned to his workstation.

Press and hold the power button, and a brightly colored, rounded orange logo appears. The boot speed is extremely fast, taking no more than five seconds. This is Zhang Peng's first time using the Aurora OS system. He was originally worried that he would have trouble adapting to switching from iOS to Android, but the application ecosystem and gesture operation of the Aurora OS system are designed to be simple and easy to understand, and he got started quickly.

"Bought a new phone? Oh, the latest Orange C3!" Chen Fengling quietly approached and said with a smile.

Zhang Peng was startled, but seeing that Sister Ling's face did not show any displeasure because he was slacking off, he boldly said, "Sister Ling, why don't you give it a try? I heard that the Orange C3 camera comes with built-in algorithm imaging technology."

As he spoke, he handed over his phone.

A secret joy welled up in Chen Fengling's heart. Smelling Zhang Peng's scent, for some reason, she actually took the phone, turned on the camera, and took a picture from above, revealing a glimpse of snow-white skin at his neckline.

To be fair, the Orange C3's 500-megapixel front camera, combined with algorithmic imaging technology, produces quite good image quality.

Chen Fengling stared at herself on the screen, her face slightly flushed, her eyebrows and eyes delicate and fair, looking like a recent college graduate, even though she had clearly graduated seven or eight years ago.

Next, she tried out the rear camera's photo and video recording functions. For women, no matter how old they are, the photo quality is the most important thing about a mobile phone.

"Wasn't the Orange C3 just released? You already bought it?" Ten minutes later, Chen Fengling returned the phone and asked casually.

She was clearly interested in the Orange C3; a woman in her thirties like her desperately needed a smartphone that could clearly show her beauty.

Even though she knew in her heart that the person in the photo looked slightly different from her, she chose to ignore it.

'The Orange C3 is truly a wonderful product; it perfectly preserves my beauty,' Chen Fengling thought to herself.

"Sister Ling, Orange Technology has opened a delivery store on KuaiRun. If you want to change your phone, you can receive it in half an hour," Zhang Peng replied quickly.

"Okay, I got it. Get back to work. Oh, by the way, I forgot to delete the photos in the album. Remember to delete them, or your girlfriend might get jealous."

Chen Fengling smiled slightly, gave a few words of advice, and then walked towards her workstation.

"Sister Ling, I don't have a girlfriend," Zhang Peng replied with a simple smile.

Chen Fengling's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself: There is nothing better!
Zhang Peng opened the photo album, and the first picture was a selfie of Chen Fengling. At thirty years old, she was mature and confident, with a charming smile.

Sister Ling's figure seems to be top-notch.

Zhang Peng swallowed hard, then secretly glanced at Chen Fengling. Seeing her looking down at the documents, he slowly began to appreciate them.

at the same time.

In cities like Luzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Beijing, Changshan, Tianjin, and Tangcheng, as long as they are within the coverage area of ​​Kuai Pao Delivery, customers can receive Orange C3 or Green Orange D1S within 29 minutes.

After 8 p.m., test videos of Orange's new mobile phone appeared on platforms such as Weibo, Youku, and Toutiao.

“I used my internship salary to buy my mom a Qingcheng D1S. My mom scolded me fiercely, but her face was full of smiles.”

"Waaaaah—My mom is the same way, and I'm teaching her how to use Orange C3."

Why did you receive the phone so quickly?

"Order via Kuaipao, and it will be delivered within half an hour!" commented a netizen from Yanjing.

"Damn it, we don't have any chopsticks here, and we've been tricked by Master Jing again," a netizen from western Guangdong said through gritted teeth.

“I came from the state and received the Qingcheng D1S at 4:30 pm.”

"Located in Nanjing, the KuaiPao delivery riders are awesome!"

"@Kuaipao CEO Pei Yi, when are you coming to Shenzhen? Orange Mobile's factory is in Shenzhen, but Shenzhen users always have to wait until the next day to receive their goods."

As more netizens discussed the topic, the keyword "Orange Phone delivered in half an hour" quickly appeared on the trending searches.

"Central warehouses and forward warehouses, turning e-commerce into a food delivery model? It's useless. It's only suitable for certain product categories. Isn't setting up so many forward warehouses just a waste of manpower and financial resources?"

Upon hearing this news, Ma Liyun, who was far away in Hangzhou, reacted with the same disdain as before.

Compared to the speed of express delivery and logistics in Europe and the United States, the delivery speed in China is not slow. There is no need to spend a lot of money to build thousands of forward warehouses across the country in order to shorten the delivery time.

What he didn't know was that Kuaipao's front-end warehouse was located within Yunsu's terminal site, and the two could share infrastructure, making the cost much lower than Ma Liyun had imagined.

Liu Qiangdong, sitting in his office in Yanjing, pondered to himself whether he could reduce the delivery time of JD Logistics to one day or even half a day if he built forward warehouses around fulfillment warehouses, transit warehouses, and storage warehouses.

I think it should be fine!
Liu Qiangdong was excited, but then he thought about it again and realized that the cost was too high. The crisis in Dongguan had not yet passed, and if he continued to make a fuss, he might scare away overseas investment institutions.

After all, Zhao Yingchun had reminded him that OTPP invested in JD.com in order to reap the benefits of its IPO and make up for the shortfall in pension funds.

"Hey! I can start by conducting pilot programs in Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and other places. I can focus on just a few niche categories. The cost of trial and error is low, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

After frowning and thinking it over carefully, they decided to 'copy' Kuai Pao's delivery model.

JD.com's after-sales service not only needs to be good, but the speed of express delivery also needs to be fast.

To Liu Qiangdong's surprise, he was not the first plagiarist; someone else was faster.

In Jinqiao, Shanghai, a delivery rider from Dingdong Community, dressed in clean and tidy work clothes, rides an electric scooter, packing vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, ducks, flowers, and other products according to the customer's order information, and then delivers them to the customer's doorstep.

Liang Changlin spent four months, with the help of YaYa.com's technical team, and finally incubated the Dingdong Community project.

Currently, there is only one station in Jinqiao, and its business scope can cover more than 20 nearby residential communities.

The business mainly focuses on neighborhood social networking, life delivery and home services, including: second-hand trading, housekeeping, laundry, flower delivery, cleaning and home appliance repair.

Once the project was launched, it attracted 3000 registered users and received more than 400 orders per day in just two weeks, which shows that the product has market growth potential.

Liang Changlin was overjoyed and has been frequently meeting with investors recently, hoping to obtain more development funds to expand the model nationwide.

Upon learning of Dingdong Community's existence, Pei Yi immediately became vigilant.

Although Dingdong Community has not yet entered the food delivery market, once its coverage area expands, it may well erode Kuaipao's market share.

Have to prevent!

After a moment's thought, Pei Yi dialed Chen Yansen's mobile phone number.
