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

Chapter 319 Little Ma: Good things should be copied! Ma Liyun: He copied me, so I can't copy him?
Xucheng, Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park, Office Building No. 7.

"As of September 28, Orange Pay had a cumulative registered user base of 140 million, daily active users of 17.2 million, and an average daily payment transaction volume of 940 million yuan. The number of merchant QR code applications reached 73,000. The growth in payment transaction volume mainly came from Pinduoduo Mall, Kuaidi Dache, Yunsu Express, and Orange Mall..."

In a meeting room by the window, Zhang Yinjia spoke slowly.

"continue."

Chen Yansen waved his hand calmly.

"On September 21, the payment failure rate in East China increased by 2.9%. An investigation revealed that this was caused by a local network failure, which led to a regional increase in server load, resulting in payment request queues and a decrease in the success rate."

In response, the technical department has implemented an asynchronous retry mechanism. If a payment request temporarily fails due to network issues, the system will automatically resubmit it, thereby increasing the probability of successful payment.

Jiang Leiming from the technical department was the second to report. After synchronizing the development plan for October, he proactively mentioned the system incident a week earlier and presented an effective solution.

"Thinking further, QR code payments will also encounter similar bugs, so we need to launch an offline payment function to ensure the user experience."

Chen Yansen nodded slightly, then offered a reminder.

"Offline payment? In the case of being offline..." Jiang Leiming looked puzzled, not understanding his boss's technical strategy for a moment.

"When a user opens the Orange Pay payment code page while connected to the internet, multiple sets of dynamic payment codes are pre-generated, encrypted, and stored in the local cache. When there is no network or the signal is weak, the unused payment code is directly called, allowing the user to complete the payment process."

Chen Yansen explained slowly.

This problem was given to Jiang Leiming. With his abilities, he could probably figure out a solution in two or three days, but Chen Yansen felt there was no need to waste time.

Instead, we should offer our ideas and let Jiang Leiming execute them.

"Okay, boss, I understand what to do." Jiang Leiming's eyes lit up and he quickly replied.

Although the boss is technically savvy and they can't slack off, programming experts like Chen Yansen can save the technical department months of trouble by occasionally mentioning system fault tolerance design.

No wonder Daniel Povey from Orange Technology's AI Labs is always running to his boss's office. Ostensibly, he's there to work, but actually, he's there to learn.

A month ago, a video clip of Daniel referring to Chen Yansen as his godfather at a press conference went viral for a while.

No one believed Chen Yansen's computer skills at all. They just thought that Daniel, the foreigner, was a socially savvy man who shamelessly helped Chen Yansen establish the persona of a "research genius" in order to curry favor with his boss.

"Old Zhou, how far has the Yu'ebao project progressed?"

Chen Yansen looked at Zhou Mingxuan and asked.

"We have confirmed the cooperation model, business rules and technical integration plan with Tianfu Fund. Only the profit distribution method has not yet been finalized. I met with General Manager Jiang yesterday and it is expected to be launched after the National Day holiday."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingxuan immediately replied.

"The user front-end interface, the fund management back-end system, and the transaction interface with the fund company have all been completed," Jiang Leiming added.

"Have the operations team write an SOP to train customer service staff first, so they can quickly grasp the product features, business processes, and key customer service points of Yu'ebao. In addition, the marketing department's promotion and publicity work should also be carried out simultaneously."

Chen Yansen responded without raising any objections, but offered a few more reminders regarding the preparations before the launch.

Zhang Yinjia, Zhou Mingxuan, and Jiang Leiming immediately nodded and hurriedly wrote down everything their boss said.

"That's all for today, happy holiday," Chen Yansen said with a faint smile, standing up.

"Thank you, boss," Zhang Yinjia and the others replied with smiles.

In 2012, the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day were combined, resulting in an eight-day holiday with one day off in between.

Because the banks are closed for the holiday tomorrow, my Q3 performance bonus, September salary, and overtime pay arrived in my account two hours ago.

At this moment, the faces of the employees of Orange Technology, Orange Pay, Pinbei Mall, and Today Technology were all beaming with smiles.

Clearly, the prize money for Q3 is substantial!
Back in his office, Chen Yansen sat on the sofa and brought up the system panel.

Cloudspeed, KuaiRun, and Orange Mobile have become the most important sources of humanitarian aid, while Pinbei, Orange Technology, and Gaode Map also generate a considerable amount of humanitarian aid each month.

In September, the Humanity Flame reached 210149 strands, enough to synthesize 2101 Divine Flames. After resolving his weight concerns, Chen Yansen decided to first strengthen his physique to 100.

"Synthesis, add some!"

With a thought, a golden mist, as thick as a wrist, appeared out of thin air, radiating a terrifying and intimidating energy.

and many more!

It seems a bit thick!

Chen Yansen had just mentally complained when, a thick, overwhelming fog suddenly filled his forehead.

The scattered golden spots of light flowed through the blood to the limbs and bones, and the muscles, bones and flesh greedily absorbed the golden energy source, with their density, hardness and strength all quietly increasing.

A few breaths later, everything returned to calm.

The physique stat increased from 10.15 to 31.16!

This enhancement is comprehensive and holistic, encompassing strength, agility, endurance, vision, sense of smell, hearing, and the ability to control these abilities.

The sudden increase in strength will not cause things like crushing cups or shattering floors.

Chen Yansen let out a long sigh of relief, lifted his shirt to check, and found that his muscles had increased, with sharp angles and clear lines, but it was not visible at all when he was wearing a shirt.

Try weighing yourself!
Thinking of this, Chen Yansen reached out and beckoned, and the body fat scale next to the bookshelf immediately flew to his feet.

118 kg!

It was originally 97.3 kilograms, but it increased by more than 20 kilograms in one go.

Judging from my physique, I weigh at most 80 kilograms; the rest of my weight is in density.

Then, Chen Yansen used his mental power to wrap his arms around his waist twice, and weighed himself again. His weight immediately dropped by two kilograms, becoming 116 kilograms.

A dozen seconds later, with the help of his mental energy, his weight returned to 97 kilograms. But Chen Yansen then wrapped the rope five more times, keeping his weight at 87 kilograms.

In this way, nothing seems out of the ordinary.

As for strength?

Chen Yansen felt that his strength had increased several times over, but he couldn't measure it precisely. When his physical strength was at 10 points, he could lift a car half a meter high with one hand. Now it was 31.16, and he could probably throw the car off.

The gym at the east gate of the Void Academy could not measure his strength limit. After a little thought, he came up with a technical solution: using an industrial-grade hydraulic force measuring machine and a dynamic force sensor, he could manually assemble a heavy-duty force measuring instrument.

After clarifying his thoughts, Chen Yansen made a list of equipment and sent it to Zuo Hongyu of Orange Mobile, asking him to be in charge of the procurement.

In addition, his hearing, sense of smell and vision have also improved significantly, and all kinds of rustling sounds and strange smells have instantly flooded into his nasal cavity and ears.

With a thought, Chen Yansen used his mental power to weave a 'filter' that isolated the smells and sounds within a five-meter radius.

Otherwise, with his extraordinary hearing and sense of smell, it would inevitably affect his normal life.

Upon receiving the message, Zuo Hongyu glanced at the equipment list and, though curious, didn't delve into it. He simply followed his boss's instructions without questioning their purpose.

This is what smart people do!
Since joining Orange Mobile Phone Factory, Zuo Hongyu's status in the Shenzhen industry has undergone a dramatic change. Even his former boss, the owner of Big Pineapple, has to respectfully address him as "General Manager Zuo" when they meet.

As the factory's purchasing director, he routinely deals with international suppliers such as Qualcomm, MediaTek, EEWorld, Desay, and Sony. His power is no less than that of the founder of a second-tier mobile phone manufacturer.

After all, brand managers like Little Chili, Big Pineapple, and Bird Mobile can't get the supply prices that Zuo Hongyu negotiated with top suppliers.

at the same time.

OrangePay's offline promotional activities have caught the attention of Tencent.

Shenzhen, Tencent headquarters building.

"Orange Pay's scan and QR code payment functions are good. I think WeChat should learn from them and combine instant messaging software with financial products," a Tencent director said bluntly, spreading his hands.

Of course, "borrowing" is just a polite way of saying it; to put it bluntly, it's plagiarism.

"Actually, regarding QR code payment software, Zhifubao launched its first payment prototype as early as April last year, and upgraded to QR code payment three months later. So, there's no question of imitation. Chen Yansen copied Zhifubao."

Another Penguin board member joked with a smile.

That being said, Orange Pay's ability to connect offline and online business channels through its scan function was still refreshing and impressive to them.

In other words, Zhifubao pioneered QR code payments but failed to find the right direction for development, while Orange Payment has shown everyone a clear path.

"Financial Connect can leverage WeChat's traffic advantage to expand its business and bring substantial financial benefits to the group. Since it's going to implement payment and collection functions, there must be a balance design. The funds accumulated in each WeChat account can not only increase the account value of users, but also improve user stickiness and retention. I have no objection!"

After looking around and taking in everyone's expressions, Liu Zhiping then scrutinized Ma Wenteng's facial expression before speaking.

"I..." Zhang Xiaolong opened his mouth, about to say something.

"WeChat has reached 2.6 million users, with a penetration rate of 72.2%. It would be a waste of resources to rely solely on advertising revenue for profit. Martin, I agree with your opinion."

Ma Wenteng adjusted his glasses, interrupting Zhang Xiaolong's speech, and said slowly and deliberately.

Interactive operations such as merchant payment collection, credit card repayment, and money transfer can bring a huge amount of user accumulation to Penguin.

Even if Zhang Xiaolong disagrees, it won't affect Ma Wenteng's decision.

"I think we can restart the WeChat Pay plan that was previously shelved!" Liu Zhiping announced solemnly.

"Jim, talk to Xiaolong and come up with a product development plan first."

Ma Wenteng bypassed Zhang Xiaolong and addressed Lai Zhiming, the general manager of Caijingtong.

“OK.” Lai Zhiming readily agreed; he saw things more clearly than Zhang Xiaolong.

The decision was made jointly by Ma Wenteng, Liu Zhiping, and many directors. What could they do if they disagreed?

"Okay, Pony, I understand." Zhang Xiaolong took a deep breath, forced a smile, and reluctantly agreed.

In his vision, instant messaging software should not add too many commercial modules. The product should maintain sufficient purity and core functionality in order to create a national-level social software.

But Ma Wenteng doesn't think so!

But he also understood that Tencent is a listed internet company with a complex and dispersed shareholding structure, and Pony was under pressure to generate profits.

The product he wanted to make couldn't find a place to thrive, not even on Tencent or in the whole of China.

Because most internet company owners, once they acquire users, will use advertising, transaction fees, microloans, or financial derivatives to make a profit.

“Pinbei, Kuaipao, and Kuaidi Dache occupy three primary traffic entrances on WeChat and QQ. In my opinion, Senlian Capital should pay Tencent an advertising fee. Even if it only charges one percent, it would still generate more than 30 billion yuan in revenue per year.”

At that moment, a director suddenly spoke up.

"Take the money? Go ask Chen Yansen for it?" Ma Wenteng's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing in them, and he asked with a playful expression.

"I," the director chuckled dryly, and stammered.

"Idiot!" Liu Zhiping cursed inwardly upon seeing this.

Compared to its annual revenue of 30 billion yuan, the real profits come from Tencent's investments in Pinduoduo, Kuaidi Dache, and Kuaidi Dache projects.

If it weren't for him and Ma Wenteng overcoming all opposition and exchanging traffic resources for investment opportunities, how could Tencent have gotten Pinbei's Series B funding?
Do Goldman Sachs, Huake Capital, and Huaxin Capital not have money?
Ma Wenteng snorted coldly and said calmly, "Meeting adjourned!"

Although he doesn't hold the largest stake in Tencent, he still maintains firm control through the VIE (Variable Interest Entity) structure.

At the board meetings, although there were occasional troublemakers, he usually managed to silence them.

the other side.

The headquarters of Ali in Hangzhou, Peach Blossom Island office.

Ma Liyun's lips curled down as he flipped through Orange Payment's investigation report. He never expected that Zhifubao's QR code payment tool would be moved offline by the other party.

"Enabling merchant payment functionality is a great idea! Zhifubao can follow suit."

After a while, Ma Liyun put down the documents in his hand and said to Lu Zhaoxi.

"There are policy risks. If we don't contact the higher-ups, the QR code payment is essentially helping merchants hide their revenue."

Lu Zhaoxi reminded him softly.

"Let's do it first, get the model working, and attract users! By the time the policies are released, it'll be too late."

Ma Liyun said dismissively.

At worst, they'll be ordered to stop and rectify the situation!

"What about Chen Yansen?" Lu Zhaoxi asked again.

“He copied my Cainiao materials and QR code payment function, and I copied his offline promotion strategy, so let’s call it even.”

Ma Liyun's smile was smug, and she felt a great sense of satisfaction at winning back the game.

……

……

Shanghai, Pudong International Airport.

Chen Yansen sat in the VIP waiting area, scrolling through the news with his head down.

Song Yuncheng, standing to the side, was carrying a backpack, holding Chen Yansen's backpack in her arms, and holding her ID card, Schengen visa, and plane ticket in her hands. She had a sullen face and was looking at the other person with a huff.

Chen Yansen didn't treat her like an outsider, but he also didn't treat her like a human being!
