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

Chapter 409 I Want to Go to Luzhou University of Science and Technology! Chen Yansen: Dear business partners, don't be afraid, I'm coming!

"Boss, give me a copy of 'Youth Digest'!"

At the entrance of the Guobin Bookstore, Chen Yansen, carrying a bag of oranges, called out to Old Chen, who was engrossed in reading.

Old Chen subconsciously looked up, and after seeing the customer's face clearly, he said in an annoyed tone, "When did you get back? If I had known, I would have waited for you, and we could have gone to see your mother together."

"I've been there," Chen Yansen replied, then handed the oranges to Old Chen and asked, "I bought these especially for you."

Old Chen likes to eat oranges, bananas, and apples—fruits that seem uninteresting and are very cheap.

"Why didn't you wait for me?" Old Chen asked casually as he took the oranges.

"I can't be bothered to see you crying and whining," Chen Yansen said honestly.

"..." Old Chen's hand paused, barely managing to suppress his impulse and prevent the orange from hitting President Chen on the head.

"Let's close up shop and have dinner together," Chen Yansen suggested.

Chen Guobin frowned and said, "No. 1 Middle School and No. 2 Middle School haven't let out yet. Students will definitely come to return books in a little while."

A copy of "Youth Digest" costs eight yuan, a copy of "Reader" costs six yuan, and a copy of "Fireworks" costs six yuan. High school students don't have much pocket money, and they have to save money to play games and go online.

Therefore, Old Chen started a "book rental" service, charging 50 cents a day for all magazines, and then selling the old books at 30% of the original price after a month.

Although he didn't earn much money, it kept Chen Guobin's life busy.

"Then wait a little longer, give me an orange." Chen Yansen pulled over a chair and stretched his hand out to Old Chen.

Chen Guobin smiled and, drawing on his decades of experience, selected a large and sweet orange for his son.

"Do students still have classes on Qingming Festival?" Chen Yansen asked again.

"There are no holidays for senior high school students. I heard they still have monthly exams today," Old Chen replied in a muffled voice.

Perhaps the group even more miserable than corporate slaves are high school seniors.

Chen Yansen thought to himself.

The father and son ate oranges and read books to pass the time.

the other side.

Tang Lixin received the news as soon as Chen Yansen's car parked in front of the State Guest House.

"Should we pay a visit?" Tang Lixin asked his secretary.

“It’s 17:10 p.m. now. It would be a bit inappropriate to rush over there. Mr. Chen should be back to sweep the tomb.”

Zhao Siyuan adjusted his glasses, advising his boss against being too proactive.

"Then help me schedule a time. Never mind, I'll call Chen Yansen myself."

Tang Lixin changed his mind halfway through his sentence.

It's really comfortable to cling to Chen Yansen's coattails. Last year, the county's GDP increased by more than 3 billion yuan, and he also gained some recognition in the city, receiving praise from big bosses several times.

"Beep...beep...beep..."

The busy tone coming from the microphone made Tang Lixin uneasy.

"Mr. Tang, is there anything I can help you with?" Chen Yansen asked casually after pressing the answer button.

"Mr. Chen, I'd like to ask if you're free tomorrow? Several entrepreneurs from the Chun Shen Agricultural Assistance Program would like to thank you in person," Tang Lixin made up an excuse.

"There are two hours in the morning." Considering Tang Lixin's care for Old Chen, Chen Yansen did not refuse.

"Meet me at the Hongye International Hotel at nine o'clock," Tang Lixin immediately made the arrangement.

“Sure,” Chen Yansen replied.

"Then I won't bother Mr. Chen any longer. Please go ahead with your work." Tang Lixin was polite, warm, and extremely humble, and tactfully hung up the phone.

Zhao Siyuan remained calm upon seeing this. Although Tang Lixin held considerable power and status in Chunshen, the saying "wealth can move mountains" was not a joke.

Given Chen Yansen's wealth and influence, if he ignores Tang Lixin, the latter will be helpless.

……

……

"Uncle Chen, I'd like a copy of the Huian Evening News, the one with the article about Brother Yansen."

Chen Yansen was lying in Old Chen's rocking chair reading a book when he heard a familiar voice and silently covered his face with the book.

"Here, it just arrived yesterday." Old Chen bent down and pulled out a brand new newspaper.

The headline on the front page read: "Post-90s, Super-rich, Self-made... His success is perfectly justified!"

The print and television media in Huian Province are keen to report on Chen Yansen for a simple reason: he is popular.

The cover features a half-body photo of Chen Yansen, with slight shading on his left cheek to make his facial features appear more three-dimensional.

Actually, this photo was taken a year ago.

Chen Yansen's popularity has recently surged again after attending the 'IT Leaders Summit'.

The Huian Evening News used old photos to accompany its news articles, bringing up General Manager Chen again as a tool to boost subscription sales.

"Uncle Chen, here you go." The girl took out two coins.

"How could I possibly take your money?" Old Chen waved his hand and said.

They're giving me the attitude that if you dare pay, I'll turn on you!
The girl sighed helplessly, obediently thanked him, and was about to leave when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Yansen lying on the chair.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, Chen Yansen is back. Xiao Sen, look who's here!" Old Chen turned around and kicked Chen Yansen.

Chen Yansen smiled wryly. It seemed that Old Chen's habit of kicking people at the drop of a hat was something he couldn't get rid of.

Seeing that he couldn't keep up the act any longer, he simply removed the book from his face, smiled, and waved to Wang Ziyan: "Ziyan, school's over. Go home early if you have nothing else to do."

"How dare you talk like that?" Old Chen glared at him fiercely.

"Brother Yansen, the college entrance exam is in two months. Should I go to Tsinghua or Peking University, or Jiaotong University or Fudan University?" Wang Ziyan asked casually, eagerly coming over.

Chen Yansen glanced at her. Compared to a year ago, Wang Ziyan had grown a few centimeters taller, and her features had become even more delicate.

Wang Zihao was right. Either he was adopted, or Wang Ziyan was adopted. Their physical appearances were worlds apart.

"Jiaotong University," Chen Yansen replied succinctly.

"Why?" Wang Ziyan asked curiously.

Because you attended Jiaotong University in your past life!
Chen Yansen was too lazy to explain and said very perfunctorily, "Jiaotong University has great advantages in terms of geographical location, academic atmosphere and employment."

“But I want to go to Luzhou University of Science and Technology.” Wang Ziyan blinked and stared straight at Chen Yansen.

Luzhou University of Science and Technology?

Why are you standing so close to me?!
"Listen to me, I've been there, applying to Jiaotong University is definitely the right choice," Chen Yansen patiently advised.

"Brother Yansen, you only went to a second-tier university, where did you get this experience?" Wang Ziyan smiled slyly, her voice clear and melodious, but her words were particularly hurtful.

"Then why are you asking me?" Chen Yansen asked back, squinting his eyes.

“Even a mistake is still experience.” The little girl laughed heartily, revealing two rows of fine, pearly teeth.

Chen Yansen glanced at the swaying motion and couldn't help but sigh: He's really grown up.

Seeing that Chen Yansen didn't speak, Wang Ziyan asked again, "Do you like the New Year's gift I gave you?"

"It's nice, soft and warm, just a little small," Chen Yansen commented.

"Stretch out your hand," Wang Ziyan commanded softly, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Chen Yansen knew what she wanted to do, so he naturally refused to cooperate.

"Uncle Chen, Brother Yansen bullied me," Wang Ziyan turned around and complained.

"???" Chen Yansen.

He knew that the farther he was from Wang Ziyan, the closer he would be to happiness.

Before even going to university, he had already learned to lie through his teeth.

"Xiao Sen," Old Chen called out, his tone becoming more forceful.

Chen Yansen sighed, obediently reaching out his hand and letting Wang Ziyan hold it, gesturing with her palm.

The girl's palms were warm and smooth, and Wang Ziyan's earlobes gradually turned red without her noticing.

"Alright, I'll knit you a new pair of gloves in the fall, and I'll make sure they fit perfectly."

After repeatedly touching President Chen's right hand, Wang Ziyan said seriously, "Thanks." Chen Yansen withdrew his right hand and then looked at Old Chen, saying, "It's lunchtime."

"Uncle Chen, are you going out for dinner?" Wang Ziyan asked.

"Ziyan, would you like to come along?" Old Chen asked politely.

"Isn't that a bit inconvenient?" Wang Ziyan asked, feigning hesitation.

"Oh, what's inconvenient about that? Come on, let's ride in Uncle Chen's car."

Chen Guobin grinned and pulled out the car keys to his BMW X5.

He watched Wang Ziyan grow up. Calling her his biological daughter would be an exaggeration, but he treated her as his goddaughter.

No, Lao Chen, did you ask for my opinion?
Chen Yansen looked puzzled.

But his thoughts were completely unimportant to Lao Chen.

Objection overruled!

Chen Yansen thought for a moment and decided that bringing Wang Ziyan along would be fine, otherwise it would be really awkward for him and Lao Chen to just drink.

When he returned to the hotel, it was already 10:30 p.m.

As soon as the suite door was opened, Ye Qiuping was seen dressed in a snake spirit cosplay outfit, holding a piece of tail in her hand, and said coquettishly, "As you wish, as you wish, please grant my wish quickly!"

Chen Yansen immediately became interested and said with a grin, "You little devil, give me back my grandpa!"

After saying that, he quickly added, "Let me change my clothes, and then we'll fight for another three hundred rounds."

Ye Qiuping chuckled. In her eyes, Chen Yansen was sometimes like a child, and sometimes like a cunning old fox, making her feel cold in his presence.

The next morning, Chen Yansen dressed neatly and briefly dealt with Tang Lixin and the others in the banquet hall on the top floor.

Apart from the people from the central government, most of them were merchants cooperating with Pinduoduo Mall, so it was also a small-scale merchant conference.

Chen Yansen spoke, and the others listened.

He is the youngest, but he has the most say.

Two hours later, Chen Yansen saw Tang Lixin and the others off, then took a car to Qipan Street, carrying several bags of gifts, and went to Wang Zihao's house for a free lunch.

At 1 p.m., after saying goodbye to Lao Chen, I set off for Haizhou.

……

……

Jiahaojia Electric Appliance Factory, Chairman's Office.

When factory owner Wang Jie saw that the people from Senlian Capital were still unwilling to budge, after weighing the options again and again, he gritted his teeth and said, "Acting Manager, I can accept 5800 million."

Dai Zhanhong was stunned when he heard this. He was just waiting for the big boss, but he didn't expect to have such a pleasant surprise. Wang Jie cut the price down by another 200 million.

He said with a stern face, "Jiahaojia is currently on the verge of bankruptcy, with a broken capital chain, so of course the price cannot be on par with the normal acquisition price."

Dai Zhanhong is a business manager that Chen Yansen poached from Midea. He was originally a technician in Midea's R&D laboratory and then moved into a management position. He is a true expert and even has a certain talent in sales and negotiation.

With Lao Gao's assistance, he and his team visited six factories in three days in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places.

Finally, they set their sights on Jiahaojia!
The factory covers an area of ​​800 square meters. When the production lines are fully operational, the annual production capacity is 8 million electric fans and 400 million mini fans.

Furthermore, there is still idle space in the factory area, and production capacity can be further expanded at any time by adding production lines.

In addition, what impressed Dai Zhanhong the most was that Jiahaojia had basic motor research and development and production capabilities.

The skill level isn't high, but it's not bad either.

With the acquisition and continuous investment in research and development, Jiahaojia could very well join the top tier of the industry.

"Manager, 5800 million is really the lowest we can go. The cost of the factory, production line and supporting facilities alone is more than 5000 million."

Wang Jie said with a bitter face.

Seeing that he couldn't extract any more information, Dai Zhanhong revealed the truth.

Wang Jie stood there stunned, wishing he could slap his thigh in frustration.

In other words, if he had persisted for another hour, he could have sold an additional 200 million.

“Acting President…” Wang Jie asked tentatively.

“No.” Dai Zhanhong interrupted Wang Jie decisively.

You lowered the price yourself, and now you want to raise it back up?

What a joke!
at the same time.

A black and white Rolls-Royce slowly drove into the park, followed by an all-black Mercedes-Benz MPV.

Ye Qiuping called Dai Zhanhong to inform him.

Upon receiving the news, Dai Zhanhong immediately left his office and led a group of staff members to greet them.

Wang Jie thought for a moment, then quickly caught up.

After all, he's the big boss of Senlian Capital. If we can leave a good impression on him and get his contact information, it would be a good way to expand our network.

As soon as he got downstairs, he saw a young man step out of a Rolls-Royce.

Wearing a light gray suit, with broad shoulders, a slim waist, and long legs, he was tall and a head taller than him.

Compared to the photos, he is less approachable in person and more aloof, with a strong presence.

"Boss," Dai Zhanhong greeted.

"Old Dai, you've worked hard these past two days," Chen Yansen said, patting Dai Zhanhong on the shoulder.

Boss, you can call me Ah Hong or Hongzai, it's fine either way.

Dai Zhanhong cried out silently in his heart, but he dared not refute it.

Even before joining Senlian Capital, he had heard that Chen Yansen liked to address his subordinates by adding his surname to his name, including the former president of DST Greater China, who was also nicknamed "Old Zhou".

"Boss, this is Wang Jie, the owner of Jiahaojia. The preliminary agreed price is 5800 million," Dai Zhanhong introduced.

"Hello, Mr. Chen," Wang Jie greeted him politely, leaning forward slightly.

He knew perfectly well that whether Jiahaojia could be acquired depended entirely on the decision of the person in front of him.

"Mr. Wang, it's a pleasure to meet you." Chen Yansen nodded in response and shook hands with the other party.

The reasons why Jiahaojia ended up having to sell itself to pay off debts are nothing more than a few: fierce industry competition squeezed profits; insufficient supply chain management capabilities, and being cheated by upstream motor suppliers; technological iteration failing to keep up with consumer demand; failure in offline channels and insufficient expansion of online channels.

Wang Jie's move to develop his own motor further accelerated Jiahaojia's demise.

"How many front-line operators are needed to operate the production line at full capacity?" Chen Yansen asked the first question.

Mr. Chen only cares about the number of positions. As long as the net profit can cover all costs, this business can be done.

"Around 1000 people, or even 800, can handle the production task," Wang Jie replied.

"Have you communicated with Yunsu Express and Kuaipao branch in Haizhou?" Chen Yansen asked Dai Zhanhong again.

Today, Jiahaojia has only two hundred employees left, waiting to receive severance pay.

Chen Yansen not only needs to recruit R&D personnel and management personnel, but also needs to select suitable front-line workers from the family members of Yunsu Express and Kuaipao deliverymen.

We should keep the good stuff within the family!
It's safe for our own people to use!

"Currently, 473 places have been submitted," Dai Zhanhong said.

"Speed ​​up the pace and let's go check out the production workshop," Chen Yansen said.

Following that, the group took a tour of the factory area.

Chen Yansen nodded slightly, and Dai Zhanhong immediately understood. In the end, they acquired Jiahaojia's production base in its entirety for a transaction price of 5700 million.

Effective immediately, Jiahaojia will be renamed 'Orange Smart Living Co., Ltd.'

The workers' base salary has increased from 2200 yuan to 3300 yuan, with an hourly wage of 25 yuan.

The worker, who was initially prepared to take the money and leave, suddenly changed his mind: From today onwards, I am an employee of Orange Smart Life!

The news that Orange Technology was entering the electric fan industry quickly spread throughout the industry.

Brands like Midea, Gree, and Airmate are all on edge, exclaiming: "The troublemaker is here!"

It's worth noting that Orange Technology had just broken into the mobile phone industry. Although it had supported several internet mobile phone brands such as Xiaomi, 360, and NetEase, the number of mobile phone manufacturers that were wiped out was countless.

They fear that Orange Technology is about to pull off a hat trick in the electric fan industry!
