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

Chapter 446 Wang Xin: My Tenth Entrepreneurship – I Absolutely Can't Lose! The Chopsticks Canteen Pilot Program Begins!
The afterglow of the setting sun, and the sky filled with rosy clouds.

Summer dusks always come exceptionally late; even at six o'clock, a brilliant glow still shines on the horizon.

Upon returning to Xucheng, Chen Yansen neither went back to Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park nor to Delta Villa, but went straight to Ye Qiuping's house.

He expertly retrieved a bath towel, hand towel, and pajamas from the closet, then went into the bathroom and ran a bath.

A big house is comfortable to live in, but a small house has a human touch.

Occasionally staying in Master Ye's three-bedroom, two-living-room, 140-square-meter rental apartment is a way to reminisce about the past and appreciate the present.

He lay in the bathtub, his head resting on a soft towel, squinting as he pondered something.

Senlian Capital's holding subsidiaries are large in scale and have a large number of employees, but he can easily remember every business line, every department head, every project CEO, and even every front-line employee he has ever met.

Anyone else, no matter how talented or energetic, would be exhausted to the point of being a fool if they were in his position.

But for him, these were just ordinary daily occurrences.

OFO has expanded its business to North China, East China, Central China and South China, and the next step is to enter the Southwest region.

Cheng Wei and Chang Wei relentlessly pursued Wang Zihao. After completing their layout in the East China market, they successively raised another sum of money and set their sights on the Central and South China markets.

Although Didi Bike and Ofo Bike have small market shares, as long as they expand their business scope and make their user base, order volume, and revenue figures look good, venture capitalists will come running like hyenas.

The greatest happiness of being on the right track is having no shortage of investment!

the other side.

Liang Changlin is based in Yanjing and is making every effort to expand the scale of Kuaipao Maicai's business.

At the same time, the heads of grocery delivery services in Central and Southern China were also busy.

Under Liang Changlin's direction, more forward warehouses were continuously added, forming business synergy with Yunsu Express and Kuaipao Takeaway.

Kuaipao's group-buying business has reached a new level, with its transaction volume exceeding 5 billion yuan for the first time in June, nearly 4 billion yuan more than Qiandu Group-Buying.

Dianping's monthly transaction volume has dropped to just over 6 million yuan, and its influence is limited to Shanghai, Nanjing, Hangzhou and other places. To the north there is Qiandu Group Buying, and to the south there is Kuaipao.

Zhang Tao was sandwiched between Pei Yi and Gong Zhenbing, and it looked like they were about to encircle him.

He knew perfectly well that if the two companies went to war, Dianping would be sacrificed.

As for Meituan, which was acquired by Sanpower Group, it became the other party's offline traffic-driving tool, with its group-buying performance output of only 2 million yuan last month.

Without a doubt, KuaiRun has become the leader in the O2O industry, maintaining a dominant leading position.

Ma Liyun wanted to expand Tao Diandian's business scope and scale several times, but in the end she forcibly suppressed her ambitions.

At the same time, Yunsu Express's daily business volume has exceeded 1400 million parcels, accounting for half of the express delivery industry. Its number of intelligent central warehouses, automatic sorting stations, outlets, couriers, express lockers, and service stations in lower-tier markets are all the highest in the industry.

The newly purchased second-hand passenger planes have been refurbished, and the fleet now includes 13 cargo planes.

Liao Wei also mentioned in the email that 12 new orders have been placed recently, and the aircraft are expected to be put into use in the first quarter of next year, which will accelerate the competition for customers in the time-sensitive express delivery sector.

It's worth noting that at that time, SF Express only had 12 of its own cargo planes.

Although Wang Wei wanted to purchase more cargo planes, he was hampered by insufficient funds and could only proceed gradually.

Their business competition with Yunsu was also extremely mild, for fear of offending Liao Wei or Chen Yansen.

After all, SF Express is a member of the Yunsu Express Alliance, and the electronic waybill technology it uses daily comes from Yunsu. In the field of last-mile delivery, it also relies on Yunsu's express lockers.

Wang Wei himself couldn't explain how SF Express had become Yunsu's subordinate in just two years.

Orange phones have entered the Western European market and gained a certain market share in Eastern Europe. The number of users is gradually increasing. Although it is not as good as Samsung or Apple, its sales are not bad.

The names 'Orange' and 'Chen Yansen' are quite well-known in Europe.

Young, rich, tall, and handsome, with a net worth that far surpasses that of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Chen Yansen naturally attracted people's curiosity. It was only natural for him to buy a product from Orange Technology.

Since its launch on Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and other channels, the Orange B1 smart bracelet has achieved cumulative sales of 120 million units in just one week.

The price of $89 is extremely attractive. The 1.84-inch AMOLED display, combined with the dot matrix of European and American LED lights, makes it seem like a product from a completely different era.

In comparison, the Jawbone UP, FuelBand, and Fitbit Flex look incredibly cheap when worn on the wrist.

Because all the popular influencers on Mimo short videos have an Orange B1 smart bracelet.

For a time, smart wearable device companies in Europe and America all embarked on the path of 'imitation,' and the product prototypes on their computers became increasingly similar to the appearance of the Orange B1.

In addition, projects such as Gaode Maps, Lingxi Browser, Lingxi Search, Toutiao, and DeepBlue Battery are all progressing steadily.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yansen suddenly heard the sound of a key being inserted into the lock cylinder, followed by the rustling sound of footsteps.

Five minutes later, Ye Qiuping, wrapped in a bath towel, crawled in, half-squatting in front of the bathtub, and whispered in Mr. Chen's ear, "Boss, I'm hungry."

At this moment, her face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, her shoulders were flushed, and her eyes were fixed intently on the water.

……

……

The next morning, near Longcao Road subway station.

Right next to a restaurant on Kaixuan South Road, the entrance was packed with KuaiPao delivery riders and YunSu couriers, with a few KuaiPao ground promotion managers mixed in among them. Although the scene was a bit chaotic, everyone was queuing up.

Through the glass window, you can see the scene inside, which is also packed with people. Staff members stand at the window to serve food to customers.

Everyone was wearing a clean and tidy orange short-sleeved T-shirt with four Chinese characters the size of a fingernail embroidered on the chest: "Chopsticks Canteen".

The food pick-up area, dining area, and even the floor all give people a clean, hygienic, and healthy feeling.

A large steamed bun with fresh meat, about the size of a fist, costs 2 yuan each;
Bamboo shoot shumai, 1.5 yuan each;
Multigrain pancakes, 5 yuan each;
Soy milk, 300 ml per cup, costs 3 yuan;
Eight-treasure porridge, 300 ml per cup, priced at 3 yuan;
Since it was breakfast time, there were no stir-fried or steamed dishes available.

Wang Zhe peeked out the door and thought to himself, "There are also Kuaipao canteens on Caoxi Road and Caobao Road? Why do they all go to Longcao Road?"

He thought for a moment, then walked to the door and asked, "Brothers, why don't we go to Caoxi Road or Caobao Road? I'm afraid you'll be queuing here and delaying your work during the morning rush hour."

"Mr. Wang, when is the big boss arriving?"

"Yeah, yeah, I heard the big boss is coming to inspect the store today."

"I want to thank the boss in person; my son passed the second-tier university entrance exam."

A group of people discussed it animatedly.

No way, which bastard is spreading these rumors?

Do you think I wouldn't know whether the boss is coming to inspect or not?
Wang Zhe's face darkened; he was too angry to speak. He sighed deeply and said, "Let's call it a day. Where did you get the news that the boss isn't coming today? It's fake!"

"No way?"

"what?!"

"Fake news!"

The group of people stood there, stunned, their faces filled with disbelief.

"Who said the boss was coming to Longcao Road today?"

"It seems to be Zhou Peng from the Yishan Road station who said it."

"Where's Zhou Peng? You son of a bitch, step forward!"

"Brothers, this has nothing to do with me! I heard it from Wang Long on Guilin Road."

Zhou Peng shrank back, and in the face of the crowd's anger, he answered timidly.

"Alright, it's a good thing the boss didn't come. He'd probably be disappointed if he saw everyone in this mess," Wang Zhe said quietly.

"Work!"

"Oh dear, it's almost 7:30, time to go online and take orders!"

"Hey guys, let's chat next time. I need to head back to the station to sort the packages!"

Most of the people quickly hopped on their electric scooters and disappeared in a flash.

The remaining employees of Senlian Capital are the ones who actually want to buy breakfast.

The prices on the price list weren't expensive in Shanghai in 2013, but they weren't cheap either.

However, employees of Senlian Capital can get a 40% discount with their cards, which means a fist-sized meat bun only costs 1.2 yuan, making it much more economical.

The lunch prices are the same as those of community canteens like Qiaojiazha and Laozhengxing, except that the food tastes a little better and the portions are slightly larger.

For nearby residents who don't want to cook, it simply means having another option for meals.

But for Yunsu Express couriers, Kuaipao deliverymen, and street sales representatives who spend all day sweeping the streets, this provides an additional "company canteen" where meals are cheap and clean.

With a 4% discount, a half-meat stir-fry costs only 3 yuan, a full-meat dish only 8 yuan, and rice and soup are free. Usually, 10 yuan is enough to fill you up. The monthly food allowance of 500 yuan is more than enough.

Wang Zhe smiled and shook his head. After finishing his work at Kuai Pao Canteen on Longcao Road, he drove to inspect more than a dozen other canteens in the vicinity to gain a comprehensive understanding of their hygiene, food, and dining experience.

Kuai Pao Canteen's first batch of 23 stores will be piloted in Shanghai for half a month. If there are no problems, the recruitment, training and store opening speed will be increased in Nanjing, Luzhou, Yanjing, Tianjin and other places.

Senlian Capital partnered with two catering training schools in East China. From pastry chefs to Chinese chefs, anyone who passed the test could get an offer from Kuaipao Canteen.

Local print media, television media, and social media all took notice of the existence of Kuai Pao Canteen that afternoon.

It was immediately trending on social media by reporters and bloggers.

"A new business for Kuaipao? It is reported that Kuaipao will open 1000 community canteens nationwide within two years."

"Community canteen? No! It's actually an employee canteen! Discounts as low as 6% off!"

"Senlian Capital has invested a whopping 10 billion yuan just so that delivery drivers and food delivery workers can have a hot meal!"

Netizens initially thought Kuaipao was desperate for money and would try to make money from anything, but after learning that Senlian Capital employees received a 40% discount, and comparing it with the prices in Shanghai, they were surprised to find that...

The profit margin for each dish at Kuai Pao Canteen is less than 5%. Even after factoring in the profits from external customers, it's considered good if they can cover the costs.

at the same time.

Wang Xin led his team and spent more than 20 days developing the website and app for "Group Buying Loan".
This is my tenth startup, and I absolutely cannot afford to lose!
Wang Xin made a silent vow.
