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

Chapter 401 Chen Yansen: Little Ma, you're not thinking of copying, are you? Zuckerberg: Me, the US version of Chen Yansen?

"May I ask, if your company did not go through headhunting channels, how did you obtain my contact information?"

Yu Xianyang keenly sensed the abnormality and asked a question directly.

"It was your brother who told our boss in Shidu," the HR person replied truthfully.

Yu Erbao?
Yu Xianyang frowned, full of doubt: How could his little brother, who was like a ghost fire, know the founder of Senlian Capital?

Although Chen Yansen is a Chinese entrepreneur, his age and wealth have made him just as famous as Zuckerberg in North America.

Some media outlets have even stated bluntly that Zuckerberg's business achievements are not comparable to Chen Yansen's.

Rather than saying Chen Yansen is the Chinese version of Zuckerberg, it would be more accurate to say that Zuckerberg is the American version of Chen Yansen.

Zuckerberg almost laughed in anger when he saw the report, so he took the initiative to accept the invitation to the 'IT Leaders Summit'. He wanted to see whether Chen Yansen was truly capable or just a product of China's 'deification'.

Of course, his more important purpose in coming to China was to break through restrictions and bring Facebook to the Chinese market.

After all, China has a population of over a billion, which could enable Facebook to achieve another leap in rapid development.

He knew it would be difficult, but he still wanted to try.

To this end, Zuckerberg went so far as to send friendly signals toward the East in front of the media.

While Yu Xianyang was communicating with the personnel of Tiangong Technology, Chen Yansen was lying in the warm spring water with his eyes closed, resting.

Tomorrow, Friday, I have to fly to Shenzhen to attend the 'IT Leaders Summit', where Ma Liyun, Ma Wenteng, and Li Yanhong will also be there.

As a member of 'BATS', if he didn't go, it would be disrespectful to Shenzhen and could easily lead users to misunderstand that Senlian Capital wasn't prestigious enough to be invited.

Some events are unavoidable!

Anyway, we can also stop by the Orange Phone factory on the way.

There was a "crash" sound!
With a flushed face, Meng Jie, wearing the swimsuit carefully prepared by President Chen, slowly lay down in the hot spring.

She glanced down at it and couldn't help but mutter to herself: What a pervert, always buying weird clothes like that.

"Why are you so far away from me?" Chen Yansen asked with his eyes closed.

“I’m sitting right next to you,” Meng Jie chuckled, trying to trick Chen Yansen.

"Come here!" Chen Yansen commanded.

Not to mention using his divine sense, he could accurately determine Meng Jie's location just by listening to the echo.

"Like a dog, its ears are really sharp," Mengjie muttered softly.

"..." Chen Yansen sighed slightly, pretending not to hear.

Meng Jie stood up and moved slowly in the water until she finally sat down next to President Chen.

Although she is not tall, she has a well-proportioned figure and fair skin. She is petite and delicate, and her hands feel soft and smooth.

In Chen Yansen's view, it is more feasible.

Her personality is different from Song Yuncheng and Ye Qiuping. Having eaten too much rich food, she can enjoy a simple dish of mussels with great relish.

As the two soaked in the water, they moved their spot to the tatami mats on the side.

At first, Chen Yansen didn't believe Mengjie when she said she could ride a motorcycle, but after ten minutes, he gradually came to believe her.

……

……

The next morning, Chen Yansen returned to the company and took Gao Weilin, Liang Bo, Chen Jie, and others to Shenzhen.

As soon as we landed, Ma Wenteng called: "Six o'clock tonight, Caixin Mansion, for a welcome dinner."

Cai Xin Mansion is a high-end restaurant in Shenzhen, specializing in Cantonese cuisine with fusion dishes as a side dish, much like the people in this city who come from all over the country.

The average spending per person is over 5000 yuan!

Don't ask for the best, but ask for the most expensive!
It may not be the best choice for entertaining guests, but choosing Cai Xin Mansion is at least a safe bet.

“No problem,” Chen Yansen readily agreed.

Despite some friction between Senlian Capital and Tencent, they remain loyal partners overall.

Tencent has invested in Pinduoduo, Kuaidi Dache, and OFO bikes, while Senlian Capital has also invested in QQ Music and Tencent Video.

After leaving the airport, Xiao Li got into the driver's seat of a Maybach and drove towards the hotel.

The car body and windows have been upgraded to be bulletproof.

There was a Mercedes-Benz MPV in front and a Mercedes-Benz in back.

It was all Cao Dahua's doing!

Chen Yansen did not refuse, even though he didn't need it, but Lao Gao, Liang Bo, Chen Jie and others did.

In his view, could someone really dare to drive a dump truck into him?

The convoy sped along Airport South Road.

Before long, the magnificent Wuzhou Hotel came into view, which was also the venue for the 'IT Leaders Summit'.

Living here means I don't have to go through the hassle of traveling back and forth.

Chen Jie naturally took care of the check-in procedures.

Three minutes later, he took the room key and entered an executive room. This time, he didn't bring Song Yuncheng with him, so President Chen had to suffer a bit and sleep alone.

He rested in his room for a while and didn't leave the hotel until 5:15. He then took a car to the Cai Xin Mansion that Xiao Ma Ge had mentioned, accompanied by Lao Gao, Liang Bo, and Chen Jie.

As dusk settled outside the car window, the surrounding skyscrapers lit up one after another, radiating dazzling brilliance. The neon lights began to rise, illuminating this city that never sleeps.

Similar to Shanghai, it's a city for migrant workers.

Countless people have wasted their youth and lives here, yet they cannot find a place to belong.

People came in groups, and people left in groups. Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of an exquisite courtyard typical of southern China.

The houses are large and spacious, with exquisite carvings.

Ma Wenteng was accompanied by Liu Zhiping, along with two young men dressed as assistants or bodyguards.

After seeing Chen Yansen get out of the car, he wanted to go to him, but four security personnel got out of a Mercedes MPV in an instant and surrounded Mr. Chen on all sides.

Brother Ma stood there stunned, thinking: How come this kid's entourage is getting bigger and bigger? The last time I met him, he only had a driver with him.

"Mr. Ma, please excuse my poor appearance."

Chen Yansen pushed aside the security personnel, smiled awkwardly, and then quietly explained the reason.

"Mr. Cao did the right thing. The water in Shenzhen is no shallower than in the north. Safety comes first."

Ma Wenteng chuckled and offered gentle words of comfort.

Shenzhen is close to Southeast Asia, so it's not impossible that someone might be desperate and commit a heist and then run away.

Although the patrol station will strengthen security measures for the next two days, it's always safer to have an extra layer of protection.

He wouldn't laugh at Chen Yansen, because if it were him, he would have taken the same security measures.

"Martin."

Chen Yansen raised his hand to signal and greeted Liu Zhiping.

“President Chen,” Liu Zhiping replied.

With the rapid expansion of Senlian Capital, he no longer had the confidence to let Chen Yansen call him 'Brother Martin'.

It's worth noting that, in terms of net worth and industry influence, Chen Yansen and Ma Wenteng are roughly equal.

In terms of personal wealth, he can even surpass Ma Wenteng.

Apart from a slight lack of connections and high-level resources, Chen Yansen has actually already joined the first tier of domestic entrepreneurs.

The promotional materials for the 'IT Leaders Summit' reveal that, in the eyes of the central leadership, Chen Yansen ranks only after Ma Liyun, Ma Wenteng, and Li Yanhong.

After exchanging pleasantries and politely deferring to each other, Chen Yansen and Ma Wenteng walked side by side into the private room.

Behind the two were a large group of people.

In Shenzhen, Ma Wenteng is a formidable figure, with local entrepreneurs constantly coming up to greet him before he even entered the private room.

“Zuckerberg is here too.”

As soon as they entered the private room, Ma Wenteng took the initiative to mention it.

“Oh? He probably wants to enter the domestic market,” Chen Yansen said with certainty.

"He can just come in as he pleases? I won't allow it," Ma Wenteng said domineeringly, his eyes narrowed.

WeChat has accumulated over 400 million registered users, while Renren and Weibo are being suppressed by Tencent.

If Facebook wants to enter the market, firstly, the higher-ups will most likely not agree, and secondly, with WeChat and QQ, Tencent is already the undisputed leader in the social networking field. Can Facebook really succeed if it comes?

China has its own rules. Whether it's for information security reasons or due to the relative strengths of the two sides, Facebook, an outsider, is simply dreaming if it wants to snatch market share from Tencent in the social networking field.

"They've already come, you have to fight your way out," Chen Yansen urged, stirring things up.

"WeChat's registered users in overseas markets surpassed 4000 million in mid-month," Pony Ma boasted with a smug grin.

After saying that, he changed the subject and asked, "Is Mimo a product of Senlian Capital?"

"Yes," Chen Yansen nodded in acknowledgment.

Although the main body of Mimo short video company is in the Cayman Islands, the ultimate controlling party is still Senlian Capital, and the CEO is Mao Chaorong. It is actually quite normal that Pony Ma could find out about it.

"You're not thinking of copying my homework, are you?" Chen Yansen asked bluntly.

"..." Ma Wenteng chuckled dryly, unsure how to reply.

The main point is, he really wanted to plagiarize!
In just four months since its launch, Mimo short video has amassed 40 million users in North America, with a daily active user count of 15 million.

It took WeChat a full year and a half to get to this point, but its daily active users were only a little over five million.

Clearly, Tencent has much to learn in terms of localized operations, promotional efforts, and user retention.

"Mr. Chen, please don't misunderstand. Mr. Ma didn't mean that. He just thinks that Mimo's promotional strategies and content are worth learning from for WeChat," Liu Zhiping stepped in to smooth things over.

"Mr. Ma, if you want to do it, I can't stop you, but I advise you not to."

Chen Yansen picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said.

He was sincere and had good intentions, but the internet infrastructure in China was not yet mature, and rushing into things would most likely lead to certain death.

The idea of ​​seizing the opportunity is not wrong, but those who rush in first often suffer the most.

Unfortunately, Xiao Ma was not one to listen to advice. In his eyes, Chen Yansen's words were just an excuse to prevent him from entering the short video industry.

Chen Yansen glanced at Ma Wenteng and immediately understood that this guy didn't take it seriously at all.

"Forget it, good advice is useless against a damn fool," Chen Yansen muttered to himself.

The two, each with their own ulterior motives, finished their dinner chatting and laughing.

Chen Yansen brought Ma Wenteng cigarettes and alcohol, as that guy loves them.

The drinking party didn't end until three hours later.

Chen Yansen got into the car and waved goodbye to Ma Wenteng, whose face was flushed.

at the same time.

Jia Yaoting finally saw the engineering test version of LeEco Super TV, and LeEco was just one step away from entering the smart TV industry.
