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

Chapter 357 Oh no, Xiao Ma and I have become scapegoats! The victory of the ticket subsidy program!

The next day at dawn, the sky outside the window was still dark.

Chen Yansen leaned against the headboard, picked up his phone and glanced at the time. He had only slept for two hours, and his sleep duration had been shortened again.

An average person has 16 hours left in a day after sleeping, but he has 22 hours, which is 6 hours more.

Song Yuncheng lay on her side with her eyes slightly closed, her two small hands protecting her body, like a sleeping kitten.

A Pikachu cosplay outfit was ripped at the back and carelessly tossed on the floor.

A faint fragrance permeated the air.

Chen Yansen lifted the corner of the quilt, put on his slippers, and walked towards the study next door.

I turned on the computer, brought up the assembler, and my fingers flew across the keyboard.

To circumvent ARM's condition code patent, Chen Yansen used a predicate register to record the computation result information.

When you encounter a technical glitch, simply activate the Planck Clock to instantly put your brain into an overclocked state and easily overcome technical obstacles.

It was used twice between 4 o'clock and 7 o'clock, taking a total of two seconds.

The basic architecture design, consisting of 8 global registers and 24 window registers, has been initially completed.

Just then, a crisp knock came from outside the door.

The study door was open, and Song Yuncheng, wearing a cartoon-patterned pajama, stood sleepily in the doorway. Seeing Chen Yansen turn his head, she asked softly, "Having trouble sleeping again?"

Chen Yansen beckoned Song Yuncheng over.

As she approached, President Chen opened his arms, and Song Yuncheng obediently snuggled up to him, hugging his head.

"I'm hungry," Chen Yansen said with a smile.

"Want me to cook you some porridge? And fry two sunny-side-up eggs?" Song Yuncheng replied instinctively.

"Eating you is enough." After saying that, Chen Yansen's hand slipped through the gap in his clothes like an eel.

Before long, a captivating blush spread across Song Yuncheng's fair and smooth oval face.

……

……

On the third day of the supposed apocalypse, everything was fine.

At 10:30 a.m., Liang Changlin slowly opened his eyes, and it wasn't until after 3 a.m. that he finally managed to fall asleep.

Should he fight for his life, or become a dependent and work for Chen Yansen?

This was an extremely difficult decision for him.

He stood by the glass curtain wall of the hotel, staring blankly at the passersby below who looked like ants and the cars that were the size of matchboxes.

After an unknown amount of time, Liang Changlin suddenly realized that perhaps Chen Yansen was looking at him in the same way he was looking at the street not far away, with roughly the same feelings.

It’s nice to enjoy the shade under the big tree!
Liang Changlin squinted, his gaze gradually hardening.

Half an hour later, he called Chen Yansen, but all he heard was a dial tone and no one answered.

Liang Changlin immediately became anxious, fearing that Chen Yansen would change his mind and not give him another chance.

On his third call, the other party finally answered.

"Mr. Chen, I've thought it through. I'm willing to join Senlian Capital," Liang Changlin said eagerly.

“I’m very interested in the fresh food delivery business you mentioned yesterday. Finish up the remaining work as soon as possible and report to the Kuaipao Shanghai branch.”

Chen Yansen replied.

In his view, Liang Changlin's abilities are more than enough to be in charge of a product category or business unit on his own. Letting him be Pei Yi's deputy for now, how high he can climb in the future depends on Liang's performance.

"Okay, Mr. Chen!" Liang Changlin quickly changed his address and replied with a smile.

"That's all for now, we'll talk later." Chen Yansen replied briefly and then hung up the phone.

Although Liang Changlin once possessed a net worth of over 10 billion yuan in the future, in President Chen's eyes he was utterly insignificant, merely a consumable for making money for him.

Liang Changlin dared not delay and immediately set off back to Shanghai, intending to sell YaYa.com to Xueersi and then shut down Dingdong Community.

the other side.

Before Liu Qiangdong went abroad, he got into another dispute with Yi Xun.com.

Tencent, unable to secure a cooperation request from JD.com, invested 1 billion yuan in YiXun.com, adding a "price guarantee" service to boost its presence in the digital home appliance sector and compete with JD.com, Suning, and Gome for market share.

Kingsoft Cheetah and 360 have successively launched browser ticket-grabbing plugins, targeting users during the Spring Festival travel rush.

Seeing this, Zhang Yiming was eager to try, and led his R&D team to work day and night to develop diversion software, hoping to get a share of the train ticket business.

Sina Weibo inserted news feed ads in an effort to enhance its monetization capabilities, which drew angry criticism from users.

"Lost in Thailand" grossed over 7 million yuan in 13 days, breaking the box office record for Chinese films previously held by "Painted Skin 2".

Industry insiders predict that "Lost in Thailand" will become the first Chinese-language film to break the 10 billion yuan mark.

Pei Yi won his bet!
Leveraging its exclusive online ticketing rights, "Lost in Thailand" brought over 600 million new customers to KuaiRun, increasing its daily active users by 260 million.

Meituan, which chose "Back to 1942," and Lashou, which bet on "The Last Supper," both suffered huge losses, not only wasting money but also getting scolded.

After tasting success, Pei Yi turned his attention to "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". KuaiPao, as the largest online ticketing website, easily obtained an exclusive cooperation agreement from Huayi Brothers.

Both parties jointly funded subsidies, intending to reduce the pre-sale price to 19.9 yuan per piece.

That year, Stephen Chow's box office appeal was at its peak, and even with a price tag of 19.9 yuan, users still flocked to buy it.

The following day, December 24th, Christmas Eve, WeChat version 4.6 was released, adding WeChat Pay, payment collection and payment functions, and Wallet Balance, and officially announcing that its user base had surpassed 300 million.

When Ma Liyun found out, she was immediately stunned. "You're called Lingqianbao, so what should I be called?"
The original product name was "Pocket Money". If it is launched to the market in the future, wouldn't it become an imitator?
"Mr. Ma, how about changing it to Yu'e Tong?" Lu Zhaoxi suggested.

"It sounds like a copy of Yu'ebao," Ma Liyun said, shaking his head.

It's a copy of Yu'ebao!

Lu Zhaoxi was taken aback and muttered to himself.

The big boss wants to copy the model but also wants to save face, so he probably has no choice but to change the name "Lingqiantong".

"How is Yu Libao?" Zhang Yong suddenly asked.

"Compared to Yu'ebao, it's still lacking." Ma Liyun's face showed resentment, and his eyes were blazing with anger.

It's just that the people in the Intellectual Property Department weren't thorough enough; why didn't they close the loophole for 'Lingqianbao' when they were registering the defensive trademark?

“Yu Libao is also good, it’s catchy.” Lu Zhaoxi noticed Ma Liyun’s expression and immediately chimed in.

"Then let's switch to Yu'ebao." Ma Liyun waved his hand helplessly, then said, "What are your thoughts on the offline promotion of Zhifubao? Should we hire a third-party ground promotion company, or build Ali's own team?"

“This year, about 5000 group-buying websites have gone out of business, and a large number of ground sales staff are unemployed or on the verge of unemployment. I think building our own team is more in Alibaba’s interest.”

Lu Zhaoxi frowned, thought seriously for a moment, and then said with certainty.

Previously, Ali had collaborated with third-party ground promotion companies, but data such as material costs and promotion conversion rates were difficult to track accurately.

Instead of handing the money over to someone else, it's better to do it yourself.

“Daniel, what do you think?” Ma Liyun turned around and asked Zhang Yong.

"We combine offline and online methods. For individual merchants who are familiar with electronic payment tools, we offer free mailing of QR codes. For other merchants, we can promote our services face-to-face."

Zhang Yong said slowly and deliberately.

In fact, this is also the promotional strategy that Orange Pay is currently implementing.

The implication is that a ground sales team must be established.

"We need to speed things up as much as possible. Zhifubao is a step behind Orange Pay, and now even WeChat Pay is catching up. We have to be on guard!"

Ma Liyun solemnly instructed.

Lu Zhaoxi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

Meanwhile, in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Minzhou and other places, many merchants have put up QR codes for payment at their cash registers after being introduced by promoters.

When paying, users only need to take out their mobile phones to scan the code, and the payment process is completed with a "ding".

It looks both simple and cool.

For users, the more merchants use QR codes for payment, the more convenient their payment methods become.

"With the rapid development of QR code payments, the era of cashless payments is just around the corner!"

"Make counterfeit money nowhere to hide!"

"Zhifubao, Orange Pay, WeChat Pay, internet giants are all entering the fray, vying for offline payment scenarios."

Immediately, print media, online media, and television media launched a massive coverage.

Logically, the traffic generated by news should benefit both Orange Pay and WeChat Pay.

But Chen Yansen sensed an unusual and dangerous aura!

Based on his understanding of Ma Wenteng, after the other party had been hit hard several times, he was now extremely cautious in his actions and would never spend money to buy articles to promote the QR code payment function.

Especially given the current unclear policies, and the possibility of being cut off at any time, it's better to keep a low profile.

"Damn it! I and Xiao Ma have become scapegoats!"

Chen Yansen leaned back on the sofa in his office and muttered to himself.

The interests of the banking and financial industry are intertwined. Just when some people wanted to undergo radical reform but were struggling to find the right approach, Orange and WeChat Pay emerged.

Chen Yansen pondered to himself, then thought to himself, "If the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up; what am I afraid of?"

Find wealth in danger!
If you want to be the first to try something new, you can't be timid and hesitant!

With this in mind, he sent a message to Zhang Yinjia, asking him to use Kuaipao's ground promotion team to continue to increase promotional efforts and capture the market first.

As for the risks ahead, we'll deal with them as they come!
……

……

“Pony, I’ve confirmed with Xiaolong that he has not given any interviews to reporters, nor has he instructed the marketing department to purchase traffic.”

Liu Zhiping explained with a solemn expression.

"Could it be Chen Yansen? Young and impetuous, reckless and without any scruples?"

Ma Wenteng raised his eyelids and immediately pressed for an answer.

“Chen Yansen is indeed young, but where is the frivolity and arrogance of a young man in him?” Liu Zhiping decisively denied.

"That means someone is trying to exploit WeChat Pay."

Ma Wenteng frowned, took a deep breath, and couldn't help but curse inwardly: Why didn't they act earlier or later? Why did they have to wait until WeChat Pay was launched before making their move? Were they afraid that Orange Pay's influence wasn't big enough?

Ma was both amused and exasperated. Being valued was a good thing, but being singled out as a scapegoat was not.

Fortunately, Chen Yansen was there to comfort him.
