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

Chapter 433: Offline sales network under construction! Shipments have exceeded 4000 million, ranking third globally!

"Manager Wu, when will the cheaper Qingcheng phone be available?"

"It's been selling online for two days now, why haven't you made a single move?"

"How about you buy one for me on Pinduoduo?"

At the Yunsu Express service station in Anfeng Town, Wu Lei was immediately surrounded by uncles and aunts living nearby as soon as he opened the door. The group of people chattered away, making requests or asking about the delivery time.

"Dear brothers and sisters, come back after the Dragon Boat Festival, and I'll definitely have stock," Wu Lei assured, patting his chest.

Hu Peng grinned, eating tofu skin rolls and fried dough sticks with gusto, occasionally sipping soy milk to replenish his energy.

There are only two of them at the entire service station. They are usually bored out of their minds, but when they get busy, they are always on the go.

Unloading, sorting, and organizing goods involves handling pickups and customer inquiries.

Fortunately, the pay is good; you can earn extra commission by selling mobile phones and developing new apps.

"Hu Peng, come here! Let's help Brother Li set up a PC, and buy him a Qingcheng D2 SE too," Wu Lei called out from the front.

"Brother Lei, I'm coming right away." Hu Peng put down his breakfast, wiped his mouth with his hand, and then grinned as he approached.

As for Brother Li, whom Wu Lei mentioned, he is actually over fifty years old, two years older than Hu Peng's father.

But if you call someone "uncle," they might get angry; calling them "big brother" is much easier to say.

"Brother Li, has online banking been activated?" Hu Peng asked.

"It's open now. I opened it yesterday at the Agricultural Bank of China at the intersection. They even gave me a USB drive. Oh dear, I forgot it at home."

Brother Li slapped his forehead and said with a bitter face.

"That thing is called a U-shield. It's okay if you don't have it with you. Can you remember my bank card number?" Hu Peng asked again.

"I wrote it down on a piece of paper," Brother Li replied with a smile.

"Where's the paper?" Hu Peng took the other person's phone and then reached out to ask for it.

Brother Li hesitated, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"You forgot it at home too?" Hu Peng chuckled and rubbed his forehead.

He experiences countless instances of such ineffective communication every day.

Brother Li nodded, chuckling awkwardly, and said, "Little Hu, wait for me a moment, I'll go home and get it."

After saying that, he strode out.

"Brother Li, your phone!" Hu Peng shouted at the other man's back, but Brother Li seemed not to hear him.

Yunsu Service Station has been open in Anfeng for almost a year now, and the surrounding residents and the two of them are already familiar with each other. How could they possibly lose their phones if they leave them in the store?
Therefore, although Brother Li heard Hu Peng calling him, he pretended not to hear it.

Before long, the customers who had been gathered at the door left with disappointed expressions.

Since the Qingcheng D2 SE is out of stock, there's no need for them to stay here any longer.

Seeing this, Wu Lei breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, grabbed a warm sesame seed cake, and wolfed it down.

In another half hour, trucks from express delivery companies such as Yunsu, SF Express, and Huitong will arrive. At that time, there will be at least two or three hundred packages to sort. Without enough food, how can we have the strength to work?
The sun was blazing outside, and cicadas were chirping incessantly on the plane trees lining the street.

At that moment, an elderly man in his sixties lifted the transparent curtain and walked in with a broad smile.

"Manager Wu, good morning! Are you eating sesame seed cakes? I brought you a jar of pickled green beans, which I made myself. Please try some."

The old man took out a bottle of red oil green beans from his pocket and handed it to Wu Lei with great enthusiasm.

"Uncle Zhou, I can't accept this," Wu Lei politely declined.

"You let me come here to use the air conditioning every day, consider it payment for your electricity," Grandpa Zhou said with a stern face.

"Alright then." Seeing that the other party insisted, Wu Lei had no choice but to accept it.

Grandpa Zhou lived not far away and often came to the Yunsu Express Station to enjoy the air conditioning. Over time, the two became acquainted.

Although the penetration and usage of air conditioners increased significantly in 2013, there are still many people in the small town of Huian who cannot afford to buy or use air conditioners.

In the summer, the lobbies of nearby banks and telecom operators are packed with elderly people who come to enjoy the air conditioning.

We're all from the same village, so it's not appropriate to kick people out.

Most of the space at the Yunsu service station is occupied by shelves and warehouses, but fortunately there is still some space at the entrance where a few small stools can be placed.

Grandpa Zhou took out an old radio, half-closed his eyes, enjoying the coolness of the summer, and a happy expression appeared on his face.

Wu Lei smiled and shook his head, then sandwiched the green beans between the sesame seed cakes. One bite revealed their crispness and freshness, adding a unique flavor.

"Brother Lei, judging from this trend, the Qingcheng D2 SE is selling better than the Qingcheng D2. I really don't understand. It's only 200 yuan cheaper, but the performance is much worse."

Hu Peng asked, looking puzzled.

"200 yuan? Sigh, Xiao Hu, I'm not trying to be mean, but think about it yourself, how many people in Anfeng Town can earn 3000 yuan a month?" Wu Lei rolled his eyes at him and said irritably.

Like Xijiang, Zhongyuan, and Sichuan, Huian is a major province for migrant workers, with over 60% of its young and middle-aged people making a living in cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Nanjing.

Those who stayed in the local area were either rolling in money or dirt poor.

With just a few acres of meager land, it's good enough to make a living, let alone buy a cell phone?
Buy some poop!

Wu Lei is a native of Anfeng and knows the local situation much better than Hu Peng, who is from out of town.

"Hehe, that seems to be true." Hu Peng scratched his head.

He paused and then said, "Our company has better benefits. We pay social security and have a base salary. I can take home eight or nine thousand a month. It's really tiring, but the salary is also high. My high school classmate graduated with a bachelor's degree and works in Nanjing. He doesn't even take home five thousand a month."

"Of course, the boss is really good to his employees," Wu Lei replied.

"You mean General Manager Liao?" Hu Peng pressed.

"What are you thinking? The person who actually gave us a raise is General Manager Chen. Before Yunsu was sold to Senlian Capital, I was a courier for Yunsu. Not to mention the base salary and bonuses, my commission for each delivery was one cent less than other courier companies," Wu Lei said with a sneer.

“My brother just finished the college entrance exam, and I estimate he only scored around 300 points. There’s no hope for him to continue his studies. I heard that a new factory is being built in Shenzhen. If we can get him a job there, my parents will feel at ease.”

Hu Peng continued.

"Forget about it. The Shenzhen factory won't be in production until the end of the year. I checked the company's intranet yesterday. They're recruiting delivery drivers in South China. You can let him give it a try."

Wu Lei thought for a moment and then said.

"Delivery drivers? They work under the sun and wind, it's even harder than our job." Hu Peng frowned slightly, looking hesitant.

"Want to make money? Why be afraid of hard work? You should know that this is a full-time delivery rider position. After three months, you get 500 stock options. It's a job that others can't buy with money." Wu Lei sneered.

Kuaipao's rider team continues to grow, but the number of external hires remains very small, mainly because internal employees are given priority in recruitment.

It's not uncommon for entire families to work for Chen Yansen within Senlian Capital. For example, the son might be a food delivery driver, the father a courier, and the mother a worker at the Orange Mobile phone factory. Of course, some employees' children are also hired by the company after graduation; some work in business development and operations at Kuaipao, while others serve as R&D engineers at Yunsu, Pinbei, and Orange Technology.

It's simply a matter of proportion.

"Xiao Hu, I've brought my bank card. Quickly, help me buy a phone!"

Brother Li, who had returned, called out.

Hu Peng finished the last sip of soy milk and quickly got up to greet him.

at the same time.

At a street intersection in Liuhe District, Jinling, a 50-square-meter shop is under renovation.

Across the street is a Nica factory outlet store, with a sign above the door that reads "Prices are clearly marked, we only make 10 yuan profit".

Even Lu Hongbo himself probably doesn't believe that!

However, the Nica mobile phone, priced at 399 yuan, managed to sell more than 800 million units in a year in the lower-tier market.

The franchise owner squinted and said to the employee next to him, "Big Mouth, go ask around across the street what kind of business they're in."

In the past six months, Nica mobile phones have obviously not sold as well as last year, so he is thinking about changing his business.

Thinking it through on your own is never as reliable as making a decision that someone else has already made.

Every time a new store opens, he asks his staff to inquire about it. If they think it's a reliable place, they find a new store with good foot traffic and can still make a fortune.

"Yes, boss," Big Mouth nodded in response.

About ten minutes later, he ran back, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Boss, I asked, and they're in the fruit business."

fruit?

That thing has a lot of wear and tear, and you need to equip it with cold storage, so the investment cost is quite high.

The owner of the Nica factory store scoffed and immediately abandoned the idea of ​​'copying homework'.

the other side.

Yang Rui arrived at Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park to report for duty the day before the Dragon Boat Festival holiday.

"I'm entrusting Orange Technology's direct-sale store business in third- and fourth-tier cities and rural markets to you. There are currently 174 stores under renovation. Please review this information first, and leave the work for after the holiday."

Chen Yansen pushed a stack of documents to Yang Rui.

"Boss, I'd like to take advantage of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday to check on the renovation progress of some of the shops," Yang Rui said solemnly.

"No rush, let's rest for a couple of days first." Chen Yansen waved his hand.

“Boss, I really won’t feel at ease unless I go myself.” Yang Rui’s attitude was very firm.

He had just joined Orange Technology and hadn't yet made any contributions, so of course he wanted to take the initiative to show off.

"We'll talk about it after the holiday." Chen Yansen emphasized, and reiterated: "Orange Technology and Nica have different work models. Whether employees work overtime or not is entirely voluntary."

Mr. Yang wants to visit the stores, but half of your department is on a train or bus.

Voluntary overtime?

Yang Rui was slightly taken aback. He had been working in the workplace for many years and had always been "forced" to work overtime. He had never enjoyed the privilege of voluntarily working overtime.

"Boss, I can skip the rest," Yang Rui said after a moment's thought.

He felt a little uneasy, worried that Chen Yansen was testing him.

"I only have one request for you: don't bring Nica's overtime culture to Orange Technology. Just focus your energy on building the offline sales network, understand?" Chen Yansen warned.

"Okay boss, I understand."

Yang Rui immediately understood, realizing that Chen Yansen was not joking.

High pay, easy work, and no overtime—this company is simply a dream come true!
Having long been accustomed to being a "burdened dog," Yang Rui found the relaxed work environment somewhat unsettling and even considered working overtime for a couple of days.

"I've already spoken to the administration department. Go downstairs to choose an apartment first, then go to the garage to choose a car. Once you're done, you can go back."

Chen Yansen said lightly.

After all, he is the head of Orange Mobile's domestic offline channels, so RVs are standard equipment for him.

"Thank you, boss." Yang Rui then walked out of the office.

Chen Yansen glanced at his watch; it was 4:26 PM, with just over half an hour left before he could leave work.

Pinduoduo is busy preparing for 618, and the pre-sale stage has already begun. Everyone is full of expectations and determined to achieve the sales target of 100 billion yuan.

They knew that, given Chen Yansen's personality, as long as the target was achieved, a 20% increase in the Q2 performance bonus would not be a problem.

Chen Yansen leaned against the sofa by the window, looking at Song Yuncheng across from him.

He took out his phone and sent a message: "I'm waiting for you in the garage."

“Okay, Master.” Little Orange replied instantly.

Although Chen Yansen disliked the nickname, he did not correct Song Yuncheng.

Ten minutes later, the two took a car to Luzhou, and then boarded a Gulfstream G550 at the airport, flying towards Northern Europe.

This was the first time the private jet had been put to use since it was purchased.

Chen Yansen took Song Yuncheng on a three-day trip to Reykjavik, Oslo, and Stockholm.

The sales of the Qingcheng D2 SE have exploded!

On June 10, national sales reached 107.1 million units!

On June 11, national sales reached 93.4 million units!

On June 12, national sales reached 114.7 million units!

In just five days after its release, it sold a total of 462 million units, generating revenue of 27.6 billion yuan.

With the addition of the Qingcheng D2, Orange Technology has captured over 60% of the market share in the budget smartphone market.

The combined sales of the two models reached 2700 million units. If the sales of Orange C3S, Yao Cheng X1, and the African and Eastern European markets are included, the total annual shipments have exceeded 4000 million units.

Simply put, besides Samsung and Apple, Orange phones have already jumped to third place in global sales rankings.

Once offline channels are well-established, it is not impossible for annual shipments to exceed 100 million units.

Chen Yansen did not return to the Delta Villa until late at night on the 12th.
