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

Chapter 487 980 billion US dollars! Who's poor? Only Boss Chen can decide!

An hour later, Forbes magazine published its 2013 Forbes World's Billionaires list on its website.

The special page lists detailed information on the richest individuals on the list, including their ranking, net worth, industry, and nationality, along with analytical articles, data charts, and related background reports.

First place goes to Yansen Chen, with a net worth of $980 billion.

Second place goes to Carlos, with a net worth of $730 billion.

Third place goes to Bill Gates, with a net worth of $670 billion.

Eighth place: Li Jiacheng, with a net worth of US$310 billion.

Zhong Qinghou ranked 86th with a net worth of US$116 billion.

In addition, Wang Jianlin of Wanda Group ranked 128th, Ma Wenteng of Tencent ranked 137th, and Ma Liyun ranked 212th.

As for Li Yanhong, due to the sharp drop in Baidu's market value, his ranking fell to 299th, almost dropping out of the top 300.

Although there are countless hidden billionaires in private, the Forbes rich list has included all the publicly known super-rich.

Sina Finance, as a partner media of Forbes magazine, was the first to reprint the list information, which sparked heated discussions among netizens in the comments section.

"Li Ka-shing remains the richest Chinese man; he really makes money from real estate and port construction!"

"No wonder Cheung Tze-keung demanded 10 billion when he kidnapped Li Ka-shing's son. If he had asked for less, wouldn't he have been disrespecting Li Ka-shing?"

"The owner of Wahaha has a net worth of 116 billion US dollars, yet he only ranks 86th. There are just too many rich people!"

"Call Hao Ge, let's do another big job!"

"Who's in first place? Doesn't look like a foreigner?"

"Yan Sen Chen? No, it's Chen Yansen! He's become the world's richest man???"

"It is indeed Chen Yansen. Forbes' official website has a more comprehensive introduction. Click here for the link."

"Damn it! You bastard upstairs, I curse you to have sons without an anus, are you posting another link for the Orange Phone new product launch giveaway?"

Soon, someone forwarded a screenshot of the highlights of the Forbes list posted on Twitter to Weibo. The profile picture of the new richest Chinese person was a young man in a suit with a stern face and a slight smile.

It was Chen Yansen!
He ended the myth of the Mexican telecommunications tycoon holding the title of the world's richest man for three consecutive terms, and at the incredibly young age of 21, he surpassed a host of European and American billionaires to top the global rich list with overwhelming force.

Fortune magazine followed suit, announcing its list of the 50 most influential business leaders in China in 2013. Chen Yansen ranked first, Ren Zhongfei second, and Ma Wenteng third.

Interview requests from media outlets both at home and abroad poured in, completely overwhelming the external liaison phone lines of Orange Technology's brand department.

Wang Shixiang could only select the most influential magazines and TV programs, compile them into an email, and send it to his boss, Chen Yansen, for final decision.

"Time, Wired, China Nuclear Industry, High-End Interview... Netflix wants to make a documentary about me?"

Chen Yansen glanced at the email and frowned slightly.

Although he never intended to keep a low profile, the Forbes list still put him in the spotlight.

Previously, everyone knew he was rich, but no one knew exactly how much.

When the figure of '980 billion US dollars' was presented to them in a blatant display, netizens were suddenly shocked to realize that Chen Yansen's wealth had increased at a rate faster than a rocket launch.

Those established tycoons who have been in the business world for decades often accumulate wealth slowly over decades, but he became the world's richest man in just a few years. Such speed completely overturned ordinary people's inherent understanding of wealth creation.

In three years, he amassed a fortune of $980 billion.

That's equivalent to nearly 100 million US dollars in daily income!
This isn't making money, it's practically printing money!
Many people are re-examining his path to wealth, trying to decipher the secrets to his riches from the smallest clues.

A little research reveals a surprising fact: the industries Chen Yansen has been involved in and the companies he has invested in are all growing at an astonishing rate in terms of both business scale and valuation.

"The God of Commerce!"

"A real-life God of Wealth!"

"The new godfather of the internet!"

"China's leading mobile phone brand!"

One after another, impressive titles rained down on Chen Yansen.

Some eager reporters then contacted Chen Yansen's business partners, hoping to gain insight into his personality and business acumen from other angles.

"Penguin was Chen Yansen's first angel investor. Three years ago, he told me that he could grow FoxTao to 100 million users in a year. At the time, I thought this kid was exaggerating."

Of course, this also showed confidence. Later, I invested 1000 million yuan in him, and this investment earned Penguin more than 20 times the profit.

Ma Wenteng, who was attending the WeChat Ecosystem Partner Conference in Shenzhen, recalled this to the camera.

Tencent has profited handsomely in the past two years by investing in Pinduoduo, Kuaidi Dache, and OFO bikes.

When asked by reporters, Ma was happy to speak well of Chen Yansen.

"Mr. Ma, Chen Yansen was only eighteen years old at the time, a freshman in college. What potential did he possess that made you decide to take out this 1000 million?"

The reporter pressed for an answer.

"He is young, but that doesn't mean he's incompetent. FoxTao's brand promotion materials and business plan are still in my office."

Frankly, 99% of entrepreneurs couldn't produce a business plan of this caliber. It turns out my choice was right.

Ma Wenteng shrugged and said with a smile.

Local reporters in Hangzhou approached Ma Liyun to interview him about his views on Chen Yansen.

"Chen Yansen is an excellent colleague. It is undeniable that the development of Pinbei, Yunsu and Orange Payment has undoubtedly promoted the prosperity of the e-commerce industry."

Ma Liyun gave a positive evaluation.

Although the two companies have been constantly competing behind the scenes, from e-commerce and express delivery to food delivery and group buying, they also hold shares in each other's companies. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they have a love-hate relationship.

Are you worried that Pinduoduo's market share will surpass that of Ali?

the reporter asked again.

"The pie will get bigger and bigger. I believe that as Pinduoduo catches up with Ali, or Ali maintains its lead, the entire industry will be driven forward."

Competition is not a bad thing. It can make Ali people more aware of their shortcomings and force the e-commerce industry to come up with more innovative models and better services.

Users will ultimately vote with their feet; whoever truly addresses their needs will gain a stronger foothold.

Jack Ma smiled calmly, his tone revealing a certain clarity.

Before the reporter could respond, he added, "Moreover, as long as the market is big enough, the same track can accommodate two or even three of the best companies."

It must be said that in terms of eloquence, Old Ma is far superior to Young Ma. He rambled on and on, but didn't answer the question directly at all.

The reporter gave a wry smile, clearly aware of the problem.

But Ma Liyun is, after all, a leading figure in Hangzhou's internet industry and a billionaire with a net worth of over 10 billion US dollars. It's already a great favor that he's willing to accept it, so he doesn't dare to hope for too much.

the other side.

A reporter from the Yanjing Daily entered Li Yanhong's office. Compared to the two Mas, the conflict between Chen Yansen and Li Yanhong was much greater.

For journalists, it's easier to find breaking news stories.

"Senlian Capital has been rampant in China's internet and manufacturing sectors, causing countless companies to go bankrupt and countless ordinary people to lose their jobs."

Robin Li commented irritably.

His hatred for Chen Yansen had already reached an unparalleled level.

In his opinion, even Zhou Hongyi was not as hateful as Chen Yansen.

"Mr. Li, according to statistics, Senlian Capital has more than 40 employees, all of whom have paid social security, while Qiandu only has a little over 2."

The reporter showed no mercy to Robin Li, directly reading out the number of employees who had paid social security contributions for both companies.

"..." Li Yanhong was speechless for a moment.

Meanwhile, reporters in Shenzhen discovered that when interviewing manufacturing business owners, half of what they said had to be cut before it could be broadcast.

They basically started with traditional Chinese culture, and then proceeded to insult Chen Yansen's entire family.

The reason is simple: Orange Mobile's factory and DeepBlue Technology's production base have raised the hourly wage for frontline operators to 25 yuan, and other manufacturers have no choice but to passively follow suit and raise prices in order to recruit workers.

Although they can afford the money, they will lose millions or tens of millions of yuan in earnings each year.

It's worth noting that before Orange Mobile's factory moved into Shenzhen, the highest hourly wage for local operators was no more than 15 yuan. But Chen Yansen, that troublemaker, managed to double their labor costs.

A few curses are considered civilized; behind the scenes, countless people secretly wish they could send President Chen to his death as soon as possible.

at the same time.

Chun Shen Experimental Primary School, Chun Shen No. 3 Middle School, and Chun Shen No. 2 Middle School, on the other hand, were all decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and amidst the beating of gongs and drums, they hung Chen Yansen's photo in the corridor of the teaching building.

Upon closer inspection, I saw Newton on the left and Lu Xun on the right.

Mr. Chen is in the middle!
In addition to a headshot of him in a sharp suit, the photo was accompanied by a long caption: "Business tycoon and pioneer of the times."

Chen Yansen, a native of Chunshen, Huian, is the founder of Senlian Capital.

With the vision of "using technology to change lives", he successively established companies such as Orange Technology and Pinbei in Xucheng in 2011, leading the team to build the largest mobile phone R&D and manufacturing company in China, and promoting the vigorous development of domestic mobile phone systems, chips and digital economy.

In a short time, the name "Chen Yansen" became known exponentially in Anhui, China, Asia, and even the world.

The popularity of products such as Orange Mobile, Yunsu Express, Kuaipao Takeaway, and Pinbei Mall is also rising.

“My son works at a mobile phone factory in Luzhou. He gets room and board and earns six or seven thousand yuan a month. Sometimes, on holidays, he can get several hundred yuan a day just for overtime pay.”

"Yunsu Express offers good benefits, including five social insurances and one housing fund, as well as supplementary commercial insurance that can cover my wife and children, saving a lot of money on medical expenses."

"We receive four quarterly bonuses every year! I'm a graduate of Luzhou College. Last year, I couldn't find a job, so a classmate introduced me to Orange Mobile Phone Factory. At first, I didn't adapt well, and now I really regret it! I regret not coming sooner!"

Today's headlines, Weibo, and Douyin are filled with netizens' sharing.

Some of the people have family members working at Senlian Capital, and some are Senlian Capital employees themselves.

In addition, the company does not prohibit employees from discussing salaries, so most people have no concerns.

When faced with questions from netizens, they will even post their pay slips.

As a result, a screenshot of a worker's salary at a mobile phone factory in Shenzhen went viral and became a trending topic online.

"Base salary is 3300 yuan; overtime hours on weekdays are 84 hours, with overtime pay of 3150 yuan; overtime hours on weekends are 32 hours, with overtime pay of 1600 yuan; overtime hours on holidays are 8 hours, with overtime pay of 600 yuan."
The housing allowance is 660 yuan, the transportation allowance is 200 yuan, the meal allowance is 500 yuan, the water and electricity allowance is 200 yuan, the Mid-Autumn Festival bonus is 500 yuan, and the quarterly bonus is 3300 yuan.
Pre-tax income: 14010 yuan; after-tax income: 13499 yuan!

Many netizens were stunned and speechless after seeing this screenshot of the payslip.

A monthly income of 13,000?

90% of white-collar workers in Shanghai, Beijing, or Shenzhen do not reach this income level.

However, an employee at the Orange Mobile Phone factory said, "Last month, we were preparing inventory for Orange's new models, so we worked a lot of overtime. We also received quarterly bonuses and Mid-Autumn Festival overtime pay. Our usual pre-tax income is only a little over 9000 yuan."

Only 9000 yuan?

Upon seeing this, white-collar workers in first-tier cities were all on edge.

If 9000 yuan is used for "talent", then what about those who work like oxen and horses every day, are exhausted, are bossed around by their superiors, and only earn 5,000 or 6,000 yuan a month?
Some clear-headed individuals immediately opened Senlian Capital's official website and searched for suitable positions in the recruitment section.

Just as DeepBlue Technology's Factory No. 2 and Orange Mobile's Factory No. 6 are about to start production, they are recruiting in large numbers, with more than 30,000 positions available, ranging from assembly operators to SMT operators, CNC technicians, injection molding technicians, quality inspectors, logistics personnel, equipment maintenance technicians, automation engineers, and test engineers.

Interested job seekers didn't hesitate at all and immediately sent their resumes, filling the recruitment specialist's email inbox to the brim.

Chen Yansen was also busy. He first accepted his third interview with Time magazine, then participated in the recording of the program "High-end Interviews", and gave Luzhou TV a spot for an interview.

His entrepreneurship reality show, which he recorded in April, has been unearthed by netizens and has become a hit on Douyin (TikTok) for the second time.

We've seen plenty of wealthy people, but it's rare to find someone as young and handsome as Chen Yansen.

With the release of the Forbes Global Billionaires List, a host of financial bloggers have emerged on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Mimo, using Chen Yansen as a source of traffic and repeatedly listing the subsidiaries of Senlian Capital and Chen Yansen's wealth.

The conclusion was that Forbes' estimate of Chen Yansen's wealth was too conservative.

Given DeepBlue Battery's market dominance, once production capacity increases, Chen Yansen's net worth will be well over $2000 billion.

Two days later, a group of charitable associations looking to take advantage of him came knocking on his door, their underlying message being: Mr. Chen is already the world's richest man, so it's time to get serious about his charitable work.

Chen Yansen sneered and told Wang Shixiang to send the man away.

Doing charity doesn't benefit him at all; he'd rather give the money to his employees as bonuses than hand it over to an organization.

Who are the poor?

It's up to Boss Chen to decide!

On October 13, Yuan Ruili from Shenzhen called to say that Li Qingsong, the chairman of the Central Bureau of China, wanted to visit DeepBlue Technology's No. 10 factory in Shenzhen.

Chen Yansen immediately understood what the other party meant and readily agreed.
