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

Chapter 410 Shipment! 1000 Million Tickets Sold! The Development Progress of the Tiangong A100 Chip!
April 7th, an ordinary Sunday.

At 10 a.m., Baidu announced that it would acquire PPS for $3.7 million and merge it with iQiyi to strengthen its video business layout.

Half an hour later, OFO disclosed its latest development status for the first time: it has deployed a total of 10 shared bicycles and 6000 shared e-bikes in East China, Central China and South China, with monthly revenue exceeding 60 million yuan.

Following this, Zhang Jindong, the head of Suning, proposed taxing online stores, which drew criticism from hundreds of thousands of small and medium-sized businesses and became a trending topic on social media.

at the same time.

Pre-orders for the Senlian Star Card have exceeded 400 million!

The business model of internet-targeted data-free SIM cards became famous overnight in the country!
Those who followed suit were as numerous as carp crossing a river.

After returning to the virtual city, Chen Yansen was busy with the architecture design of the server operating system while working with Mike, Wu Shengyu and others to advance the research and development of the Tiangong A100 chip.

At the same time, Apple was also developing a 64-bit mobile processor based on the Orange Z1 instruction set.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences, HiSilicon, and Tiangong Technology have all remained silent, and Apple naturally won't reveal a single word.

The evolution of processor architecture from 32-bit to 64-bit results in a significant increase in data processing capabilities, leading to higher computational efficiency, stronger memory support, and lower power consumption.

In summary, performance will be greatly improved.

From the beginning, the Tiangong A100 has been positioned as a 64-bit architecture. In Chen Yansen's view, the optimization of CPU architecture, instruction set, and hardware structure is not difficult to solve.

He doesn't care whether he can handle Huawei, ZTE, and Apple.

After all, the Orange Z1 instruction set is only a preliminary version, and it will be iterated to versions 2.0, 3.0, and even MAX in the future.

Regarding baseband chips, he recruited a group of people from Qualcomm and Huawei, and after they had a basic grasp of the radio frequency and analog-to-digital conversion technologies of Balong, RF360 and WTR1625L.

Chen Yansen decisively activated the Planck Clock talent, because the technical barriers to this thing were much higher than those to CPUs and GPUs, and European and American semiconductor companies had built a strong patent defense wall.

Even he wasn't confident that he could circumvent patent restrictions and develop a completely new baseband chip in a short period of time.

Therefore, his first choice was to cooperate with Huawei or Qualcomm, and after acquiring a certain number of high-value communication patents, he would then use cross-patent licensing to break through industry barriers and technological blockades in one fell swoop.

The next day, Zhou Shouzhi finally returned to Xucheng after being away on business for half a month.

The trip was highly successful, with cooperation agreements finalized with five operators in the UK, France, and Germany.

Unfortunately, due to considerations regarding the application ecosystem, local operators do not accept Orange phones running Aurora Future OS.

Chen Yansen understood and didn't take it to heart.

He believes that one day, Aurora Future OS will be able to be launched in the global market.

A temporary setback is nothing; it always takes time to change users' habits.

He can wait; he's not in a hurry.

The following week passed quickly. Chen Yansen spent his days overseeing the project and his nights studying the force, angle, speed, and depth of unlocking techniques. Before he knew it, it was April 12th.

At this point, the total sales of the Star Card had reached 800 million cards.

In just twelve days, Senlian Capital leveraged its omnichannel resources, which generated over 100 million impressions in a single day, to make Xingyao Phone Card a blockbuster product of the year.

The central and forward warehouses in Beijing, Tianjin, Qingdao, Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuhan, and Lujiang have long been filled with the first batch of Star Cards.

Early in the morning, KuaiPao delivery drivers and YunSu couriers went online. Each driver would take 10 delivery orders, deliver the Star Card to the customer, and then activate it by phone.

At noon, while having lunch in his office, Chen Yansen came across user reviews and sharing on Toutiao (a Chinese news and information platform).

"The Star Card is awesome! I topped up 300 yuan directly, and the extra data usage outside the plan is only 1 yuan per 800MB. It's so great for watching videos on Toutiao. Before, I could only watch videos in 360P, but now I won't watch anything but 1080P!"

Commenters in the comments section kept asking, "Dude, is it really that smooth?"

"Don't get cocky, take it easy, speed will be throttled after 40GB!"

"40GB a month, as long as I don't use data and watch movies every day, I shouldn't be able to use it all."

"What blockbuster? Hey bro upstairs, can I borrow one?"

The style of the later floors completely changed; they were all selling pornographic videos.

Chen Yansen double-clicked the screen, took a screenshot, and then sent it to Liang Bo.

Some minor problems may seem like no one cares, but if you try to fix them, they can be a real pain.

“Okay, boss, I’ll handle it right away.” Liang Bo replied instantly. Although Chen Yansen only sent one picture, he could immediately understand his boss’s intention.

Chen Yansen remembers clearly that a few years later, a news app similar to Toutiao was put on the "315 execution platform" for condoning inappropriate advertisements from black and gray industries.

As a result, in less than two years, daily active users dropped from more than 6000 million to more than 2000 million, and the number of employees also dropped from more than 7000 to more than 1000.

Although Senlian Capital, with its strong financial resources, would generally not target it, proactively blocking inappropriate information would not harm the company.

At this moment, Chen Yansen automatically ignored the headlight short videos on Mimo.

As time went on, the first batch of Star Card users enthusiastically introduced the benefits of the targeted data plan to netizens, relatives, and classmates on Weibo, WeChat Moments, and Renren.

Too much tap water!
Sales of the Star Card had already slowed down, but thanks to strong recommendations from netizens, sales have picked up again.

At 8 p.m. that evening, the number of tickets sold officially surpassed 10 million!

Ye Qiuping and her project team held a celebration party in the conference room, so they invited Chen Yansen as well.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Chen Yansen smiled and said it sincerely.

A simple thank you message deeply moved the more than sixty members of the Xingyao Card team.

They all knew in their hearts that, given the big boss's style of doing things, the bonus was definitely not going to be missed.

As expected, Chen Yansen only said five words before getting straight to the point: "The quarterly bonus system for Q2 will start with an increase of 0.3. If the total sales volume can exceed 2000 million units before the end of June, another 0.3 will be added, and so on, with no upper limit."

Mr. Chen knew perfectly well that these bastards wouldn't bother listening to his project vision.

Paying more is the only way to win!

The employees work hard, hoping for more rewards. If he doesn't intervene, the number of people slacking off will only increase throughout the company.

"thank you boss!"

"Boss, I love you!"

"Long live the boss!"

There were only a few dozen people, but the cheers of hundreds erupted.

"It's so good to be rich! That's the allure of money!"

Chen Yansen smiled slightly, pondering to himself.

Ye Qiuping raised her hand and then pressed it down, immediately silencing everyone, which showed her prestige in the team.

"Next, we need to leverage third-party channels to build a more comprehensive sales network..."

Ye Qiuping slowly began to speak, first reviewing and summarizing the work done in early April, and then starting to plan the promotion and sales strategy for the middle and late April.

Chen Yansen left the meeting room, glanced at his watch—it was exactly 8:30—and walked straight out, ready to leave work.

As soon as he stepped out of the lobby on the first floor of Building 9, he heard suppressed sobbing coming from a corner.

Who is it?

Is it a ghostly wail in the middle of the night?
Chen Yansen frowned slightly and walked slowly in the direction from which the crying was coming.

A young man in his early twenties was squatting by the fence of the park, with an OrangePay employee badge hanging around his neck.

It was pitch black, and the light was dim.

Chen Yansen suddenly asked, "Did something happen at home?"

Zhang Peng was startled and sat down on the ground with a thud. It was too dark for him to see Chen Yansen's face clearly, so he assumed he was a colleague from another department and said irritably, "Dude, don't you make any noise when you walk?"

"Maybe you were just too engrossed in crying," Chen Yansen teased.

Although the other person's crying was very soft and low, his hearing was still clear even with the mental restraint.

"..." Zhang Peng was embarrassed and wished he could crawl into the concrete.

It's really embarrassing for someone in their twenties to be crying and sobbing, especially when their colleagues find out.

"Heartbroken?" Chen Yansen glanced at him and asked confidently.

"Well, I guess so." Zhang Peng sat on the ground, showing no intention of getting up.

His idea was that it was dark, and Chen Yansen wouldn't be able to see him clearly anyway, so he wasn't afraid of losing face and might as well just give up completely.

Chen Yansen looked disgusted and casually asked, "Sort of? You wouldn't have fallen for a married woman, would you?"

"No way! You're such a gossip!" Zhang Peng tried to get up and slap Chen Yansen.

Chen Yansen saw through Zhang Peng's thoughts and thought to himself that this whiny subordinate actually had quite a temper.

He wanted to say, "Go home and cry, don't scare your colleagues at the company."

But just as he was about to turn around, Zhang Peng blurted out, "My girlfriend is thirty-three years old, ten years older than me. I want to marry her, but my dad says I'm crazy."

“Your dad is right.” Chen Yansen stopped and comforted him gently.

"Dude, you should just leave." Zhang Peng was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath.

He suspected that the person in front of him was not an employee of Senlian Capital at all.

It's worth noting that employees hired by Senlian Capital generally have decent IQs and EQs.

Chen Yansen's words were like knives stabbing into his heart.

"Just kidding, just trying to lighten the mood. He's only ten years old, I don't think there's a problem," Chen Yansen added.

"You really think so?" Zhang Peng's eyes lit up, and he instantly felt much better.

“I used to have a girlfriend who was eight years older than me, and I actually wanted to marry her,” Chen Yansen said with a slight smile.

"Before? You broke up?" Zhang Peng pressed.

“She thought I was too poor, so she married a wealthy businessman from Hong Kong,” Chen Yansen replied.

“Then you’re worse off than me. At least my girlfriend loves me,” Zhang Peng chuckled.

"..." Chen Yansen forcibly controlled his right leg to prevent himself from kicking out.

"Alright, stop crying in the company. People who don't know better will think it's a ghost story."

Chen Yansen cursed with a dark face, then waved his hand and walked towards the parking lot.

"None of your business!" Zhang Peng said in a low voice. He could tell that Chen Yansen was just a man who spoke harshly, but he didn't have any bad intentions.

Chen Yansen's lips twitched. He took a deep breath and silently warned himself to mind his own business next time.

"Boss." Huang Boxiang saw Chen Yansen walking over and quickly opened the car door for him.

"Return to the Delta," Chen Yansen ordered.

After Lao Huang took office, Xiao Li also had time to rest. The two took turns working, which made things much easier.

"Okay." Huang Boxiang cherished this job. Under Xiao Li's advice, he knew the importance of speaking less and keeping his mouth shut, and tried to speak as little as possible.

at the same time.

Senlian Star Card shared its sales progress on its official Weibo account, revealing that it sold 1000 million phone cards in just twelve days, which really startled the three major telecom operators.

When the penguins and Ali found out, they immediately felt they had made the right choice!
Meanwhile, Wang Xin hid in his office at Meituan's headquarters, not eating a single meal all day, looking at the March report on the group-buying industry with a worried expression.
