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

Chapter 484 25 Billion in a Single Day, a Target of One Trillion! 1000 Canteens, 3000 Million in Profit?
Xucheng, Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park.

Chen Yansen put down his phone and returned to the sofa to continue drinking tea.

The Nobel Prize in Chemistry held little value for him personally, but it was of extraordinary significance to DeepBlue Technology.

Despite the controversies surrounding the Nobel Prize in recent years, it remains the highest honor in the global scientific community.

Once the award is officially announced, it will directly prove DeepBlue Battery's groundbreaking contributions in the fields of chemical materials and energy storage, which is equivalent to receiving a world-class authoritative endorsement.

Secondly, the Nobel Prize can also enhance the brand premium of DeepBlue Battery. With the support of this award, DeepBlue Battery will be more likely to gain recognition from regulatory agencies and industry associations in various countries when entering the international market.

In addition, DeepBlue Technology will certainly receive no shortage of tax breaks, subsidies, and technical support, and may even have the opportunity to participate in the formulation of lithium-sulfur battery standards, thereby further consolidating its market position.

As for receiving the award, that can be left to Zeng Jiwen and the other two.

Chen Yansen picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and then activated the system panel. The value in the "Humanity's Flame" column was 736127, which could be used to synthesize 73 strands of Immortal Flame.

Compared to three months ago, it has more than doubled.

It is easy to see that labor-intensive projects such as Yunsu Express, Kuaipao, and Orange Mobile Phone Factory are expanding at an astonishing rate.

Mr. Chen knew very well that there were several times more people in China who wanted him dead than overseas.

Senlian Capital has taken away the profits of so many people that even it can't count how many.

From e-commerce and mobile phone industries to express delivery, food delivery, group buying, ride-hailing, search engines, electronic map navigation, and even electric vehicles, electric fans, and battery manufacturing, it has already made countless enemies.

"Damn system, give me some points!"

Chen Yansen silently recited a sentence in his mind.

A massive, purplish-black mist appeared out of nowhere, then entered his brow, releasing terrifying energy into his brain and continuously tempering and strengthening his spirit.

In just three seconds, his mental strength increased from 102.36 to 103.09.

After a series of tests, the diameter of his divine sense's detection range had reached nearly 34 meters, and the maximum weight he could control had also increased to 400 jin (200 catties).

From the perspective of mental perception, the surrounding space of over a thousand square meters appeared in his mind in perfect detail, no different from what he saw with his naked eye.

Next, he activated the [Planck Clock] talent.

It wasn't until the fifth second that he started to feel a little tired, and he quickly exited the talent state.

Chen Yansen estimated that, given his current mental strength, six seconds was already his limit.

Although the duration is short, it is three seconds longer than it was six months ago.

Six seconds is already amazing!

Mr. Chen sighed inwardly, as some unbearable images flashed through his mind, along with the drawers full of small blue tablets in Feiyu Technology's headquarters office.

Just then, the Moss M7 smart speaker on the table suddenly sounded its alarm, and a soothing melody flowed out.

Chen Yansen glanced at the time; it was exactly five o'clock—time to get off work!
He got up and walked towards the door, entered the elevator, and pressed the button for the first floor.

With a "ding," the elevator doors opened.

Chen Yansen left Building 9 and stepped into Building 6. Upon entering the lobby on the first floor, one could see a huge LED screen hanging on the wall on the second floor, displaying real-time data on Pinduoduo's daily active users, conversion rate, order volume, and transaction amount.

By 17 p.m., sales had reached 18.4 billion yuan.

Pinbei's current daily sales have exceeded 25 billion yuan, and based on the growth trend, it is very likely to break through the one trillion yuan mark in 2014.

"Squad leader, are you still on duty?"

As soon as Xu Xingxing, pushing her suitcase, stepped out of the office, she saw Chen Yansen leaning against the front desk and quickly ran over to greet him.

Tomorrow is National Day, and most employees packed their bags yesterday, ready to head straight to the high-speed rail station or bus station as soon as they get off work.

Clearly, Xu Xingxing was one of them.

"Back to Xuancheng?" Chen Yansen asked casually.

"No, I made plans to go on a trip to Ganzhou with my classmates," Xu Xingxing replied with a smile.

She was surprised that Chen Yansen still remembered where she was from, and a secret joy welled up inside her.

"Be careful." Chen Yansen smiled and flicked Xu Xingxing's forehead.

"Class monitor, I'm the head of the administration department at Pinbei now. It would be so embarrassing if my subordinates saw this. I'm not a child anymore."

Xu Xingxing winced in pain and complained with a hint of dissatisfaction.

If any other boy dared to flick her forehead, she would probably throw her bag at him.

But the person in front of her was Chen Yansen, her college class monitor and boss, so she could only speak pitifully.

"Nothing has changed, it's still very small," Chen Yansen joked habitually.

He had personally measured Xu Xingxing's size three years ago, and it was about the same as Meng Jie's, both belonging to the "small" child category.

“Class monitor, you…” Xu Xingxing’s chest heaved violently with anger.

Small?
How is she small?
Chen Yansen waved his hand, walked past Xu Xingxing, and headed upstairs.

"This guy is really handsome, but he speaks really rudely. Who would like someone like that?"

Xu Xingxing grinned at Chen Yansen's retreating figure, silently complaining to herself.

Chen Yansen went up to the second floor and slowly walked towards the business operations department.

Zhang Yifeng had just finished discussing the Q4 investment promotion plan and operational targets with Yuan Wei, Chen Xu, Hu Li, Li Hui, and others, and had barely sat down when he felt someone pat him on the shoulder.

He subconsciously turned his head to look, and when he saw that it was Chen Yansen, he quickly chuckled and stood up eagerly, wanting to offer the chair to the boss.

"Old Yuan, go and call Wenbo and Pengfei, and also Zhuang Rui and Hu Yun, let's have dinner together tonight."

Chen Yansen leaned against the table and gave instructions to Yuan Wei. The people he called were all the original seed employees of Pinbei, and also the veterans who gave up their P7 and P8 salaries at Ali two years ago to start over with him.

"Okay, Brother Sen." Yuan Wei nodded in agreement and turned to run upstairs.

"What are your plans for National Day?" Chen Yansen asked Zhang Yifeng and the others with a smile.

“Brother Sen, I’m taking my girlfriend to Jay Chou’s concert at Temasek,” Zhang Yifeng replied first.

He graduated only two years ago and became a director with an annual salary of one million. Including the value of stock options, his net worth is no less than tens of millions, so he naturally has no trouble finding a girlfriend.

"Brother Sen, I have to go home for a blind date. My parents are pressuring me a lot; they practically want me to give them a grandson right away," Chen Xu said, scratching his head with a helpless expression.

"And you?" Chen Yansen asked Hu Li.

“I’m going home to get engaged,” Hu Li stammered.

"Wow! Sister Li, when did you get a boyfriend? We didn't even know!" Chen Xu asked in surprise.

"Congratulations," Chen Yansen said with a smile.

Hu Li joined FoxTao when she was a senior in college. Now, three years after graduation, she is 25 years old, so it's normal for her to be married and have children.

Before long, Yuan Wei had gathered everyone together.

Chen Yansen took out his phone and tagged Meng Xibo and Zhu Xiaopeng in the WeChat group chat for 'Dormitory 8302': 'Bobo, Xiaopeng, rooftop of the Sky Garden, Huangshan Hall.'

Apart from Wang Zihao, all of the dozen or so founding members of Pinbei from its early days were invited.

When Chen Yansen arrived on the first floor, he was surprised to find that Xu Xingxing had not left and was still sitting in the rest area.

"Squad leader, Brother Feng, Sister Li...!"

Seeing a large group of people coming downstairs, Xu Xingxing immediately went up to them and greeted them with a smile.

"Aren't you rushing to catch a flight?" Chen Yansen asked curiously.

"How could I miss the gathering? My flight is tomorrow morning, but I can just take the high-speed train to Nanjing tomorrow morning."

Xu Xingxing explained.

Chen Yansen hummed in agreement, asked no further questions, walked straight out of the office building, got into the back seat of the Ghost, and asked Xiao Li to drive to the Sky Garden.

Zhang Yifeng, Chen Xu, Yuan Wei, and others got into their BMWs, Mercedes-Benzes, Hummers, or Maseratis one after another, and immediately followed behind their boss's car.

Song Yuncheng got into a Mercedes and drove Xu Xingxing after them.

Zhu Xiaopeng was just a team leader and hadn't yet enjoyed the company car benefit, so he got into Meng Xibo's Audi Q5.

After two years of hard work, most of these people, except for Zhu Xiaopeng, have been promoted to supervisor, director or general manager.

Zhang Yifeng and Song Yuncheng had the highest ranks, followed by Xiang Pengfei, Zhang Wenbo, Zhuang Rui, Hu Yun, and others. Meng Xibo, Chen Xu, Hu Li, and others had the lowest ranks, but this is only relative.

With their work experience and industry qualifications, even if they went to Ali, they could easily reach the P8 level.

Chen Yansen invited them to dinner separately, which delighted everyone.

Everyone knows that this dinner party is not just a gathering, but also a recognition of them by the boss.

A convoy of more than a dozen luxury cars sped toward the city center.

In the late September evening, a gentle breeze rustled the birch trees lining the road.

As the sun sets and disappears below the horizon, the rosy clouds gradually lose their luster and begin to turn gray.

Chen Yansen leaned back in his chair and opened Toutiao (a Chinese news and information platform).

The first news item that catches the eye is: Ali has abandoned its Hong Kong listing plan due to equity structure issues and will instead list on the North American stock market.

To put it bluntly, Hong Kong authorities believed that Ali's partnership system constituted "dual-class shares," which was not in line with the local stock market mechanism, and therefore rejected Ali.

Five years later, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange underwent restructuring, which allowed Ali to complete its listing on Hong Kong Island.

Pinbei, on the other hand, didn't risk this trouble at all; its first choice was the New York Stock Exchange.

After all, due to the existence of the dual-class share system, it is too difficult to list domestically.

Unless the above-mentioned authorities allow for a "dual-class share structure," even if an IPO plan is submitted, it will most likely be rejected.

The second news item is: Kuai Pao Canteen has opened 1000 stores in East China, Central China and South China. CEO Wang Zhe said that the company plans to increase the number to 2000 by the end of the year.

With 1000 Kuai Pao canteens, plus the employees in the supply chain, the total capacity is 2 employees.

2000 companies would be 4 people!

With the support of Senlian Capital, Wang Zhe quickly replicated Kuai Pao Canteen in most southern cities by leveraging Laoxiangji's operational experience.

Firstly, it solved the meal problem for Yunsu Express couriers and Kuaipao delivery drivers; secondly, it followed the development trend of Chinese restaurant chains.

According to Kuai Pao Canteen's business and data report, these 1000 stores can still earn more than 3000 million yuan per month after deducting rent, material and labor costs.

The main ingredients are sourced from Kuaipao Maicai's supply chain, and most of them are sourced directly from the production areas, resulting in very low costs.

In addition, the canteen's prices are reasonable, 5% to 10% lower than those of large canteens like Qiaojiazha, and the food tastes better.

It's not just the employees of nearby Senlian Capital who go there to eat; it's also a favorite among the working people in the area.

Chen Yansen glanced at the comments section, where a bunch of people were clamoring for Kuaipao to offer takeout service to the cafeteria.

takeout?

Chen Yansen has no such plans for the time being.
