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

Chapter 343: 11.3 million units sold on the first day, 3 million in sales! Qingzi visits, a candidate for short video business!

Three months ago, Huawei launched a tablet called MediaPad 10 FHD. The 16GB WiFi version is priced at 2499 yuan, and its performance is comparable to the Orange Pad 1.

Of course, this is just Yu Chendong trying to glorify himself.

Because the MediaPad 10 FHD has a resolution of 1920×1200, while the Orange Pad 1 has a resolution of 2048×1536, and the former's camera pixels, operating system and processor performance are far inferior to the latter.

However, the two prices differ by 500 yuan!
"Huang Zhang is right. Chen Yansen and Lei Yijun are essentially the same; they are both troublemakers."

Yu Chendong sighed slightly and shook his head.

"The 32GB version is priced at 2299 yuan, and the 64GB version is priced at 2899 yuan!"

Wang Teng continued in the video.

同等配置的平板电脑，山星N8000 32GB版的价格是4698元，苹果iPad 4的价格是4488元。

Compared to Apple and Starbucks, the Orange Pad 1 is half the price;
Compared to Huawei, Lenovo, and ASUS, the Orange Pad 1 is priced about 20-30% lower.

In other words, after Orange Technology set its sights on the tablet computer market, everyone's hardware profits decreased by 20% to 30%.

The Lenovo Pad A2109 is priced the same as the Orange Pad 1, but apart from the chip processor, it is completely outclassed by the Orange Pad 1 in terms of screen size, resolution, operating system, battery specifications, internal memory, and camera functions.

After listening to Wang Teng's explanation, Yu Chendong's wariness of Orange Technology decreased significantly.

After all, setting aside the price, Aurora OS system, and Moss voice interaction engine, the Orange Pad 1 is just an 'assembled' product with little technological content.

In his opinion, his MediaPad 10 FHD is equipped with the HiSilicon K3V2 self-developed chip, which is much better than the Orange Pad 1.

the other side.

Wang Teng continued to introduce the second new product, the Orange MagicBook: a silver body design, equipped with a Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM, a 512GB hard drive, a Geforce GTX660M dedicated graphics card, a 14-inch screen, and weighing only 1.9 kg.

Even in the 2012 laptop market, it was considered ultra-thin and compact.

The initial price is 3999 yuan!
It struggles a bit with large-scale online games, but it's more than enough for daily office work and light gaming needs, making it suitable for college students and white-collar workers.

Orange Technology's first online press conference lasted for two hours and ten minutes. Even when the Orange Pad 1 and Orange MagicBook went on sale at midnight on Orange Mall, Pinduoduo, and Kuaipao, Wang Teng had not yet finished the proceedings.

Some longtime fans familiar with Orange Technology's new product pre-launch strategy had already been waiting in front of their screens, opening the official link to the Orange Mall.

As expected, the Orange Pad 1 and Orange MagicBook were available for purchase on time.

Although the start of the school year has passed, many college students still have a need to purchase mobile phones.

For example, in the virtual college, a few years ago, freshmen were not allowed to bring computers; only sophomores were allowed.

However, with the decline in laptop prices and the widespread availability of campus networks, more and more college students are including computers in their essential three-piece set for the start of the semester.

Nevertheless, less than 50% of freshmen own computers, and most people don't buy their first laptop until their sophomore year.

For example, in dormitory 8302, only Chen Yansen and Song Yang had computers at the beginning; the other four students bought them in the second semester of their freshman year or the first semester of their sophomore year.

Of course, this does not include economically developed coastal areas.

This is precisely the peak season for second-year university students to purchase mobile phones.

For laptops with the same specifications, ASUS sells them for 4699 yuan, while Lenovo dares to sell them for 5999 yuan.

The Orange MagicBook isn't exactly a high-end product, but its cool appearance, with its bright silver ultra-thin metal body and a price of 3999 yuan, easily attracted a large number of potential users.

It's worth noting that with products like the Aurora OS system, Orange phones, Moss smart speakers, and power banks, Orange Technology already has over 3000 million users across the country.

Moreover, most of these people are young people.

Therefore, in the first hour of its official release, the Orange Pad 1 set a record of 1.4 units sold, and the Orange MagicBook also sold 6700 units.

After stepping off the stage and greeting the staff of YY Live, Wang Teng took a car back to the company headquarters.

On the way, he took out his phone to check the project group messages. His colleagues in the data department would send a sales summary every 10 minutes.

From 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM, in just two hours, 26,000 Orange Pad 1s and 11,000 Orange MagicBooks were sold.

It doesn't seem like much, and it's far behind the sales figures of Orange C3 and Green Orange D1S.

For Orange Technology, which is venturing into the personal PC business for the first time, achieving this sales volume is already quite an accomplishment.

It's all thanks to the trust we've built with our users!
Chen Yansen was sitting in his office when he received calls from Yu Chendong and Lei Yijun. After exchanging a few words, he hung up.

Yu Chendong wanted to test Orange Technology's investment in tablets and laptops. After learning that the Orange Pad 1 and Orange MagicBook were just supplementary categories in Orange Smart Living Store, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Lei Yijun came to "learn from experience." Because Xiaomi's mobile phone sales were mediocre, he focused his attention on digital derivative products, hoping to increase the company's overall revenue by expanding the product line.

The Xiaomi Box was his first attempt, but the launch of the Orange Pad 1 gave him a whole new inspiration.

"I heard that Xiaomi's total annual sales are still lower than 360's. I'm afraid Mr. Lei is really getting anxious."

Chen Yansen put down his phone and chuckled lightly.

Both the 360 ​​G800 Pro Shining and the 360 ​​N1 are aimed at the mid-to-low-end market, which perfectly meets the needs of users in the early stages of smartphone development.

Ignore brand and performance, focus only on configuration and price!

Users can accept even counterfeit phones, let alone Ali Cloud, NetEase, Shanda, and 360 phones.

For Xiaomi, with Orange Phone blocking its way from the front and a host of internet phone brands flanking from behind, coupled with Lei Yijun's unwillingness to abandon the MIUI operating system, its market performance falling short of 360 is entirely expected.

Chen Yansen didn't take Yu Chendong and Lei Yijun's words to heart. He turned around and started the Cadence Spectre software, getting busy with the analog circuit design work of the self-developed chip.

When he occasionally gets stuck, he immediately activates his Planck Clock talent for one second, and in an instant, all the problems are solved.

By midnight that day, the total sales volume of Orange Pad 1 was 79,000 units, and the total sales volume of Orange MagicBook was 34,000 units, with a transaction value of 3.02 million yuan.

If user feedback is positive, the Shenzhen factory will increase production capacity in order to gain a larger market share.

……

……

The next morning, Chen Yansen slowly woke up from Ye Qiuping's bed, and the familiar smell of milk wafted into his nostrils.

Now, the side effects of using the Planck Clock talent have become his best sleep aid.

Chen Yansen sat up straight, picked up his phone from the bedside table. It was 6:20, and the sky outside the window was just beginning to lighten.

Today is Monday, and there's a morning meeting.

In addition, Li Guoqing and Huang Zheng of Dangdang.com met today to discuss in depth the business cooperation between Dangdang and Pinduoduo.

As the big boss of Pinbei, Chen Yansen naturally had to step forward.

He then put on his slippers, strolled over to the sofa in the living room, sat down, and, as usual, looked through the electronic scans on his phone.

Meanwhile, he was pondering Liang Bo's overseas market expansion plan. The short video software he needed had been developed last week and was just waiting to be launched to the market.

However, in the past two months, none of the candidates recommended to him by the human resources department have met his expectations.

Liang Bo was unsuitable for the project, and he was also responsible for the daily operations of Toutiao.

Hand it over to Zhou Shouzhi?
Chen Yansen knew that Lao Zhou's abilities were not a problem, but the other party had joined Orange Technology, not Today Technology.

Zhou Shouzhi can only hold the position concurrently!
After some thought, Chen Yansen decided that if a suitable person in charge could not be found, Lao Zhou would have to work hard for a while.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Ye Qiuping woke up slowly in the bedroom. She kicked off the down comforter and, after a couple of minutes, picked up the silk nightgown at the foot of the bed and put it on at a leisurely pace.

The hour hand of the clock on the wall is stopped exactly on the number '8'!

Ye Qiuping walked out of the bedroom and immediately saw Chen Yansen on the sofa. She took small steps and went over to him.

"Boss, what would you like to eat for breakfast?" Ye Qiuping asked in a gentle voice.

"Hamburger." Chen Yansen looked up, a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

"Stop it!" Ye Qiuping said coquettishly, subconsciously squeezing her legs together and leaning over to lie on Chen Yansen's thighs.

"Are you hungry?" Chen Yansen asked in return.

Ye Qiuping tilted her head back, pretending not to understand, and blinked her long, delicate eyelashes, looking alluring and beautiful.

"Stop fooling around! There's a morning meeting," Chen Yansen said seriously, but his two large hands didn't stop moving.

Ye Qiuping chuckled and then leaned into Chen Yansen's arms.

Soon, the wind chimes on the balcony began to tinkle.

At 9:30 a.m., the two walked downstairs one after the other.

There was a crisp sound of "pop"!
Chen Yansen countered, saying, "You made the boss late for work, so I'll deduct 100."

Ye Qiuping rubbed her bottom and said in a sweet voice, "100 times?"

Chen Yansen stared intently at Ye Qiuping, thinking to himself: You really haven't changed at all!

"Pop!" Ye Qiuping tiptoed and licked Chen Yansen's lips like a kitten.

Chen Yansen smiled, opened the car door, and plopped down inside.

Just as Ye Qiuping was about to squeeze in, she saw Chen Yansen's face slowly turn cold. She chuckled awkwardly, closed the car door for Chen Yansen, and then muttered under her breath, "You dog of a man."

Chen Yansen smiled slightly and gestured for Xiao Li to drive.

After the car drove away, Ye Qiuping got into her BMW and slowly followed.

Before long, the Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park came into view.

Chen Yansen got out of the car and was about to walk into Building No. 9 when he heard Huang Zheng calling out from across the street.

"Boss!" Huang Zheng waved.

Beside him stood a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a suit and tie, exuding the air of a successful person.

Official Seal Li?
Chen Yansen stopped and strode towards where the two were.

Li Guoqing's expression changed, as he felt a heavy, overwhelming force pressing down on him.

Is he Chen Yansen?

Li Guoqing was secretly alarmed. He and Ma Liyun were the same age and were considered first-generation internet veterans. In the same year that Ali was founded, he and his wife jointly founded Dangdang.com.

He had seen many business tycoons, but this was the first time he had encountered an entrepreneur with such a strong presence at the age of twenty.

In his eyes, Chen Yansen was full of energy and sharpness, like a sword drawn from its sheath, making people feel a chill down their spines.

"Mr. Li, I've long admired your name! I've wanted to pay you a visit for a long time, but I haven't had the opportunity until now."

Chen Yansen greeted him politely.

"Mr. Chen, you're too kind." Li Guoqing shook Chen Yansen's right hand and said with a smile, without the slightest arrogance on his face.

As for Chen Yansen's words, he certainly wouldn't take them seriously.

Although Dangdang.com was founded a long time ago, its valuation is still a fraction of that of Pinduoduo.

Needless to say, their industry standing and influence are unparalleled!
Otherwise, why would he travel all the way to Xucheng to visit in person?

Li Guoqing adopted a very humble posture, as if to say, "You can call me 'Qingzi'."

Everyone was eager to please him, and Chen Yansen didn't act arrogantly, showing the other party ample respect.

The three of them went to Huang Zheng's office together.

Huang Zheng invited Li Guoqing to sit down and have a chat.

Chen Yansen picked out a box of tea from the cabinet and then gestured for Huang Zheng to get the tea set.

Soon after, the hot water on the coffee table boiled, and Chen Yansen poured it into the teapot.

Huang Zheng took the teapot, first poured a cup of tea for Li Guoqing as a toast, then poured a cup for the boss, and finally poured himself a cup of hot tea.

In 2012, Dangdang.com was having a tough time.

Qingzi's difficulties stemmed from Liangzi Dong. Last year, Liangzi Dong entered the book industry and adopted a zero-profit strategy, which left Dangdang.com in a sorry state.

As a result, Li Guoqing had to expand into new product categories and establish a partnership with Gome, while also joining Tmall and Pinduoduo online marketplaces.

"Mr. Chen, I'd like to offer you tea instead of wine to express my gratitude for Pinbei's support of Dangdang.com," Li Guoqing said first.

Books are a weak category for Pinduoduo Mall, so the cooperation between the two parties can be considered a win-win situation.

"No need for that. Let Mr. Huang arrange it tonight. We can have a drink together and I'll show him how to be a good host."

Chen Yansen picked up his teacup, clinked it against the other's, and responded with a smile.

“Great! I’ve heard that Hui’an has a lot of famous wines, so I’ll have to take this opportunity to try them.” Li Guoqing readily accepted the invitation.

"Mr. Li, regarding the cooperation between Pinduoduo and Dangdang, I think..." Huang Zheng said slowly and deliberately.

The cooperation with Dangdang is simply for the sake of Dangdang's publishing and book distribution resources.

Li Guoqing was fully aware of this, and Huang Zheng also knew that the other party could see through his thoughts.

But as long as both parties can benefit, even if the period of benefit is short, no one will point it out.

That's business!
Chen Yansen held his teacup, savoring the tea, without interrupting their conversation.

Just then, my phone rang in my pocket.

"Excuse me, Mr. Li, may I leave for a moment?"

After saying that, Chen Yansen got up and walked out of the office, then pressed the answer button: "Martin, what's up?"

"The matter you asked me about last time has made progress. This person is a member of the Penguin Summer Entrepreneurship Camp. Zhang Xiaolong thought he was quite capable, so he recommended him to Pony. However, he was a bit too proud and refused to join Penguin, so I introduced him to you," Liu Zhiping explained slowly.

Penguin Summer Entrepreneurship Camp is similar to Lakeside University, which Ma Liyun later founded.

To put it bluntly, it's a channel used to attract outstanding talent.

Alternatively, it could be the best way for young entrepreneurs to obtain funding.

"He doesn't even think much of Tencent, so why would he look favorably on Senlian Capital?" Chen Yansen pressed.
