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

Chapter 320 Li Yunzhu: Wash your feet less, don't go up to the second floor, buy a house sooner! A service station that doesn't do its job properly!

"He didn't take Mengjie on the business trip to Norway, but he took me instead, which means that Chen Yansen likes me more."

Thinking of this, Song Yuncheng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a hint of joy, and he sat alone in the chair, grinning foolishly.

As for the business trip to Norway?
That's just nonsense to fool kids!
She won't believe it!
"What are you thinking about? If you didn't know better, you'd think you went to Sichuan to learn face-changing, looking all sad one minute and laughing so hard your eyes are practically closed the next."

Chen Yansen put away his phone and asked with a smile.

"Can't I think about happy things?" Song Yuncheng smiled faintly, but she was being stubborn.

"Are the materials for Spotify's visit ready?" Chen Yansen asked casually.

His trip to Norway was indeed 99% for fun, with the remaining 1% dedicated to negotiating music copyright cooperation for short videos with Spotify.

Spotify has over 2000 million active users worldwide, with paid subscribers accounting for about 25%. It has a significant influence in Europe and the United States, and the audio resources used by Alexa smart speakers come from Spotify.

The headquarters of this music service platform is located in Stockholm, Sweden!
That's right, it's not in Norway.

This shows just how perfunctory Mr. Chen's reasons for going on business trips really were.

“I don’t know much about music licensing methods in Europe and America, so I asked Wang Teng for some information. I’m not sure if it will meet your usage requirements.”

Song Yuncheng confessed truthfully.

"It's okay, just send it to my email first," Chen Yansen waved his hand dismissively.

"Okay, sure." As soon as Song Yuncheng started talking about work, she immediately returned to her normal state.

"First fly to Copenhagen, then transfer to Oslo. Norway is such a damn remote place."

Chen Yansen leaned back in his chair and couldn't help but complain.

"I checked online, and this season is perfect for seeing the aurora borealis." Song Yuncheng pursed her lips, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"There are many things to do. The aurora is just one of them. Skiing, hunting, and going out to sea are also very interesting."

Chen Yansen added slowly and deliberately.

In his past life, he had taken many girlfriends to this place. Although the scenery was the same, the girl sleeping next to him was different each time, and the experience was different each time.

Some are tight, some are elastic, some are short; each has its own merits.

"You talk as if you've actually been there," Song Yuncheng chuckled, asking casually.

Chen Yansen smiled faintly and said nothing.

It wasn't until 10:30 p.m. that the boarding announcement came over the loudspeaker. The two of them walked through the fast lane and entered the cabin via the jet bridge.

For a flight that would take more than ten hours, Chen Yansen wouldn't compromise his comfort and booked a first-class ticket.

Looking out the window, the vast airport runway was completely dark, with only rows of navigation lights still lit.

Twenty minutes later, the plane slowly taxied, then lifted off, and then flew into the stratosphere.

……

……

The next morning, Chen Yansen slowly opened his eyes; he was still on the plane.

Song Yuncheng, who was standing to the side, blinked her eyes, but before he could speak, she fell asleep again.

Chen Yansen turned on the Airbus TV in front of him, put on his headphones, and randomly selected a movie to pass the time.

at the same time.

More than sixty after-sales service personnel from the Orange Mobile Phone factory set off from Shenzhen, pushing suitcases, heading towards Nanjing, Shanghai, Beijing, and Hangzhou.

On October 1st, Orange Technology will open its first batch of offline directly-operated stores in provincial capitals in North China, East China, and South China.

Firstly, it provides a comprehensive showcase of Orange mobile phones, Moss smart speakers, Bluetooth headsets, power banks, and mobile phone accessories, offering users a trial experience and enhancing their confidence in making purchasing decisions.
Secondly, as a supplement to online sales channels, it meets users' immediate purchasing needs, especially for middle-aged and elderly users who are not familiar with online shopping or consumers who need to inspect goods in person.
Despite the rapid growth of the e-commerce industry in 2012, offline sales of smartphones still accounted for more than half of the total.

Thirdly, it allows for close communication with users, collection of product usage feedback and market demands, and feedback to product research and development and improvement directions;
Finally, we provide users with services such as mobile phone repair, screen protector application, and system upgrades to address after-sales pain points and enhance brand trust.

Previously, when Orange Phone users encountered product problems, they would send their phones back to the Shenzhen repair center. Although Orange Technology covered the shipping costs, this process was too time-consuming for some users who had high time requirements.

"Brother Zhu, come to Jinling to see me when you have time. I'll treat you to a foot massage, the kind that goes up to the second floor."

"Get out of here! You're so young, why aren't you studying hard? Wouldn't it be better to save your money and buy a house back home?"

In the waiting hall, Li Yunzhu angrily cursed at his colleague.

He is eighteen years old this year and has worked at the Orange Mobile Phone Factory for more than a year. For the first half of the year, he was screwing screws on the production line. Later, the workshop supervisor saw that he was young and quick-witted, so he sent him to the after-sales department to learn mobile phone repair.

In the words of his supervisor, "You're not even twenty years old yet. Do you really want to spend your whole life hitting the ground? The company has given you an opportunity, so you have to seize it!"

Li Yunzhu was initially reluctant to change jobs, since during his training period, he only had a fixed income of 4,000 yuan a month, which was incomparable to his previous pre-tax income of 7,000 to 8,000 yuan a month.

Three months later, however, Li Yunzhu's thoughts changed, and he felt grateful to the workshop supervisor who had "guided" him.

After receiving an excellent graduation certificate from the after-sales department, the company set his base salary at 6,000 yuan, plus commission and performance bonuses, making it easy for him to earn over 10,000 yuan a month.

It may seem like I only earned an extra two or three thousand yuan, but my work environment has changed, and I no longer have to work overtime every day. My previous high income was all earned through 120 to 140 hours of overtime each month.

"Houses are too expensive, foot massages are much cheaper," my colleague chuckled.

"Alright, I need to board my flight now. Come find me in Shanghai later, and I'll treat you to pan-fried buns."

Upon hearing the broadcast, Li Yunzhu immediately stood up, making a move to leave. Before departing, he generously responded.

"Pan-fried buns? Brother Zhu, could you be any more generous?" The colleague curled his lip, speechless.

"Can I be like you? I have two younger sisters in school. If I don't save money, how will I have enough to live on?"

Li Yunzhu grabbed his luggage, waved, and strode toward the boarding gate.

"Brother Zhu, how about I become your brother-in-law and help you share some of the burden?" a colleague called out to Li Yunzhu's retreating figure. Hearing this, Li Yunzhu turned around and uttered a single word. Because they had been apart for so long, it was impossible to hear clearly, but from the shape of his lips, it was unmistakably the word 'get lost'!

My colleague grinned and waved back.

Among their group of repair trainees, he and Li Yunzhu had the lowest educational backgrounds; the others were all college or university graduates. Where there are people, there is a social hierarchy, and where there is a social hierarchy, there is a hierarchy of contempt.

Fortunately, they were both very ambitious. Low education level does not mean low ability. They were both good at hands-on work, had keen observation skills, and were patient and meticulous, so they made rapid progress.

In the past three or four months, thanks to his superb repair skills, he has become one of the top performers in the large after-sales department.

Otherwise, how could I have become one of the first maintenance engineers at a directly operated store?

It all depends on my own abilities!

……

……

Hundreds of kilometers away in Shanghai, on Jinling Road Pedestrian Street.

A brand-new, technologically advanced Orange Smart Experience Center, spanning over 200 square meters, is being prepared in an orderly manner.

工作人员把橙子C1、橙子C2、橙子C3、橙子D1和青橙D1S的样品机，逐一摆放在展台上，剩下的产品还有莫斯智能音箱、蓝牙耳机、移动电源和各种手机配件。

Few products, lots of space!
Tourists from other places couldn't help but look up at the shop sign as they passed by, then stopped and cast curious glances into the shop.

"Orange Technology has opened a physical store?"

"This should be a directly operated store; the signboard has the number NO.000001."

"I don't know when it will open!"

"Why don't you go ask?"

After chatting for a few minutes at the entrance, the group of young people went into the store together.

"Hey bro, is this an authorized store or a directly operated store?"

"When will it open?"

Upon hearing the customer's inquiry, store manager Xu Hao put down his work and said with a smile, "We are open for business now, but the official opening time will be tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, because the after-sales service personnel are still on their way."

"Are there any events tomorrow?" the young man pressed.

“We are a directly operated store, and the prices are the same both online and offline, but we will give away some mobile phone accessories. For example, if you buy an Orange C3, you can get a free Bluetooth headset worth 99 yuan,” Xu Hao replied.

"Can we try it out first?" the young men asked again.

"Of course, please feel free to make yourself at home," Xu Hao replied with a smile.

"Wow! This is the 64GB Orange C3. I've always wanted to buy it, but it's too expensive. It feels amazing!"

"The Qingcheng D1S is also good. It only costs 999 yuan. Although the processor performance is a bit weak, I don't play games. This screen is perfect for reading novels."

"Look! The Moss smart speaker costs only 799 yuan. I heard it's super popular overseas!"

Pedestrians walking by outside, after confirming that the Orange Smart Experience Center was open for business, couldn't help but step inside.

从2011年的8月6日到2012年的9月30日，橙子科技累计卖出了3000万台智能手机，早就完成了用户积累，对橙子手机感兴趣的潜在客户也有不少。

I wasn't good at online shopping before, but now that we have our own store, I naturally want to take this opportunity to experience the performance of the Orange phone.

If there are no problems with the product, buying it on the spot can save you the time of waiting for delivery.

The first batch of directly operated stores consists of only 32 stores, mainly located in the core business districts of East China, South China and North China. Once the results meet expectations, they will continue to spread to the surrounding areas until they cover all 149 prefecture-level cities in the southeast coastal region.

the other side.

Yunsu Express has increased its service stations in Huian, Qilu, Sujiang, Xijiang and other places from more than 200 to more than 600.

Every day, they can sell 10,000 to 20,000 Orange phones in rural markets. Although most of them are low-end models like the Orange D1 and Green Orange D1S, they also promote the Pinbei Mall in the process.

Chun Shen, Shaobei Town, Yunsu Service Station.

Wu Lei and Hu Peng worked together, one selling mobile phones and the other teaching customers how to download the Pinbei APP and get free eggs. They had a clear division of labor and were very motivated.

The company rewards you with 8 yuan for each new Pinduoduo user you refer.

The entire Shaobei Town has a resident population of over 60,000. Excluding the elderly and children, there are at least 20,000 potential customers.

After a busy morning, Hu Peng glanced at the results and immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Lei, guess how many new users we've attracted this morning?"

"20?" Wu Lei guessed a number randomly.

“27,” Hu Peng gestured with his hand.

"It's market day today, and quite a few people from more than a dozen nearby villages came. We'll be lucky to have 10 tomorrow." Wu Lei sat in his chair, sniffed, and was about to light a cigarette, but then he remembered the company rules, so he pulled Hu Peng outside and continued chatting.

“Ten is not bad either, we can each get 40 yuan,” Hu Peng said happily.

If you stayed in the county, would you ever get such a good deal?
He asked his former colleagues, and they said that the Yunsu network points in the county did not sell mobile phones or offer new customer acquisition services through apps.

Wu Lei took out a box of Huangshan cigarettes, handed one to Hu Peng, then put one in his own mouth, lit it, took a deep drag, and said, "Don't always think about making extra money. The company sent us here to increase the number of packages we collect. If the performance doesn't meet the target, the service station will be at risk of being shut down."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. There's a grain and oil processing plant in town. I'll go there tomorrow and try to persuade them to open a Pinduoduo store. If sales pick up, we'll have a business to rely on."

Hu Peng leaned against the wall, gazing at Shaobei Middle School across the street, seemingly lost in thought. After several seconds, he slowly spoke.

"A grain and oil factory? Sure! You should give it a try." Wu Lei nodded.

He was already planning to find some time tomorrow to visit the local agricultural association and encourage them to set up a Pinduoduo store, selling Shaobei's peanuts, rutin eggs, salted fish, and other agricultural products on e-commerce platforms.

In this way, the service station's revenue from package pickups will be stable.

　Happy Children's Day to all godfathers!
