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

Chapter 511 Liang Jingsong, who was recruited from Shanxing! A candidate for CEO of Orange Auto?

The next morning, Pinduoduo, Tmall, and JD.com, the three major e-commerce platforms, successively released their sales reports for the Double Eleven promotion.

Pinduoduo's revenue reached 237.6 billion!
The total revenue of Yaomao is 349.2 billion!
JD.com's revenue is 103.4 billion!
The three e-commerce giants achieved a single-day sales volume of 690.2 billion yuan, just one step away from the 700 billion yuan mark.

On November 11, the express delivery industry handled 1.73 million parcels, a year-on-year increase of 73%, almost six times the daily volume.

In an instant, express sorting centers, major outlets, and deliverymen all went into full-capacity operation, racing against time to speed up the parcel flow and do everything possible to prevent warehouse overload.

Tens of thousands of Yunsu Express couriers across the country are busy with "pain and joy," with their workload increasing three or four times.

The problem is that there are just too many packages to deliver; there's simply no way to deliver them all!
Fortunately, the Yunsu Express Lockers and Yunsu Service Stations have alleviated some of the pressure, making the last-mile delivery less stressful.

The good news is that the number of packages collected is also increasing, which directly leads to an increase in income. Coupled with the performance bonus in the fourth quarter, most couriers have smiles on their faces.

JD.com's daily transaction volume exceeded 100 billion yuan for the first time, but netizens' attention was focused on the "Milk Tea Love".

After all, this is a real-life version of "a domineering CEO falling in love with a college student," and there is a nearly twenty-year age gap between the two.

After pondering for a day, Liu Qiangdong decided to publicly acknowledge the relationship on his personal accounts on Toutiao, Weibo, and Douyin.

In his view, the "Milk Tea Romance" did not seem to affect JD.com's performance; in fact, it brought unexpected exposure and traffic.

In addition, Pinduoduo's transaction volume on Singles' Day also attracted the attention of media at home and abroad.

"On the eve of its IPO, Pinduoduo delivered an impressive performance, and the gap between it and Ali is gradually narrowing!"

"A single-day transaction volume reached 237.6 billion yuan, with individual stores of brands such as Xiaomi, Haier, Apple, and Orange exceeding 100 million yuan in sales!"

"9.4 specialty stores selling agricultural and sideline products have sold a total of 3900 million orders, and the Pinduoduo agricultural assistance program is showing initial results."

The Agricultural Association announced that it will award Pinbei the "Advanced Collective in Poverty Alleviation" award, making it the first internet company in China to receive this honor!

Upon seeing the report, netizens were shocked to realize that Pinduoduo is no longer the niche e-commerce platform that started with social sharing and viral marketing two years ago.

Now it has transformed into the second largest e-commerce giant in China, second only to Ali, with a business scale equivalent to 2.3 JD.com.

It took Ali and Dong more than a decade to get to where they are today, while Pinduoduo only took two years!

The remaining e-commerce platforms, such as Suning, Gome, Yi Xun, and Dangdang, haven't even released their sales reports.

If you have achievements, you should show them off. If you don't have achievements, why should you embarrass yourself by showing them off?
The Matthew effect is becoming increasingly pronounced, with traffic and orders continuing to converge on the three giants: Pinduoduo, Yaomao, and JD.com, which together account for 90% of the market share, leaving hundreds of other websites to compete for the remaining 10%.

……

……

"Boss, this is Chen Zhiming from the process integration group. He is an old subordinate who has followed me since the Taiwan TSMC era. He is proficient in FinFET transistor structure optimization, multiple exposure technology and process node migration."

In a bright and spacious conference room at Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park, Liang Jinsong pointed to a middle-aged man beside him and introduced the place.

"Mr. Chen, welcome to Xingyuan Technology."

Chen Yansen extended his right hand and said with a smile.

"Boss, hello! I'm honored to join Xingyuan Technology." Chen Zhiming looked to be in his forties and wore black-rimmed glasses. He quickly stepped forward and shook hands with Chen Yansen.

"Boss, this is Wang Junwei from the lithography technology group. He previously worked at TSMC Taiwan and Singstar, and he is very knowledgeable about the process window optimization and light source mask collaboration technology of DUV lithography machines. He also participated in the pre-research and debugging work of EUV lithography machines."

Liang Jinsong continued his introduction, and then led another middle-aged man next to him to Chen Yansen.

When he left TSMC in Taiwan, he took a team of nearly 30 people with him.

This time, he poached 23 people from Shanxing, covering multiple fields such as device physics, yield improvement, and intellectual property. Each of them is an industry expert with an impressive resume.

This is a mixed elite team that can accelerate the transfer of advanced process technologies and promote breakthroughs in key areas such as patent avoidance and mass production.

Chip manufacturing is an industry that requires the collaboration of multiple departments and technologies; even Liang Jinsong cannot work alone.

"Thank you all for your trust in Xingyuan Technology. General Manager Liang should have already communicated with everyone. For the next two years, everyone's work location will be arranged in Shanghai. After the chip production base in Luzhou is completed, the work location will be adjusted accordingly."

Chen Yansen shook hands and exchanged pleasantries with everyone one by one, and then added: "Please rest assured, although Xingyuan Technology is a newly established semiconductor company and its headquarters are located in China, I can guarantee that everyone's salary and benefits will exceed international standards."

"Boss, Mr. Liang mentioned these arrangements to us when he was in Seoul, so there's no problem."

Chen Zhiming replied with a smile.

"Simultaneous progress in both locations can indeed accelerate the pace of chip mass production."

Wang Junwei and others nodded in agreement, expressing their approval.

When it comes to working, of course you'll work for whoever pays the most.

Moreover, having their own boss serve as CEO of Xingyuan Technology would obviously allow for a faster promotion rate.

Therefore, Liang Jinsong hardly had to put in any effort to persuade his former subordinates.

Most of the key technical personnel who had worked alongside him at TSMC in Taiwan readily submitted their resignations and, with their years of accumulated experience and resources, joined StarSource Technology.

A dozen minutes later, everyone except Liang Jingsong left on their own and went to the personnel department on the first floor to complete the onboarding procedures and to choose a car in the underground parking lot.

"Old Liang, have a seat!"

Chen Yansen raised his hand to indicate, then took a can of Dongding tea from the cabinet and pushed it in front of Liang Jingsong: "It's said to be a famous tea from Taiwan, but I don't usually drink oolong tea, so I'll give it to you."

Liang Jinsong initially hesitated, but after seeing the packaging and brand, his eyes lit up, and he quickly took it and put it in his pocket.

This is the finest from Dayuling, personally prepared by a master craftsman; one or two ounces would cost at least tens of thousands.

Although he could afford it with his income, he really couldn't bring himself to buy it.

"Thank you, boss," Liang Jingsong said with a smile, but in his heart he was thinking: Boss Chen is indeed generous, with high wages and good benefits.

He would give away hundreds of thousands of yuan worth of tea without hesitation, and he would give away more than a dozen luxury cars worth two million yuan in one go.

"Zijing's production base in the MH area is about 2 square meters. It is not large in scale, but it has a complete range of photolithography, etching and supporting equipment."

"Take your team over for inspection tomorrow. Colleagues from the group in Shanghai will also assist you with the integration process."

Chen Yansen sat in his boss's chair and gave his instructions in a slow and deliberate manner.

Zijing is a second-tier chip manufacturing company with outdated manufacturing processes.

In recent years, under pressure from Huaxin International, its revenue has shrunk significantly, and it ultimately chose to sell.

Although the factory's production line was somewhat outdated, its advantage lay in its low price, which it sold to Senlian Capital at a "rock-bottom price".

Including the land, the total cost was only 8 million yuan.

In this way, once the second-hand NXT 1950i lithography machine and supporting equipment arrive, Liang Jinsong and others will be able to set up a research and development line in the existing factory.

Without waiting for the new base to be built, they can use this equipment to debug process parameters and carry out small-batch production of Tiangong A100 chips, while improving the yield rate.

Once the production base in Luzhou is completed, Tiangong Chips will be able to mass-produce chips, thereby reducing the risk of production capacity interruption.

"Okay, boss, give me 15 months, and I guarantee I can get the 28-nanometer mass production work done."

It was clear that Liang Jinsong spoke with more confidence than when they first met.

For him, with an existing mature technical team and readily available core production facilities, all he needed to do was replicate the experience he had accumulated at TSMC and Singstar. He earned this job with an annual salary of five million US dollars quite easily.

The two chatted for more than half an hour before Liang Jinsong got up and left.

Chen Yansen leaned back, glanced at the time, and saw that it was still ten minutes until five o'clock. He then sent a message to Xiao Li and walked out the door.

A short while later, a panda-themed Ghost drove onto the Virtual City Avenue.

at the same time.

Just as Zhang Yong was about to leave after the meeting, Ma Liyun called him back and ordered him with a stern face: "Have the product department modify the icon area of ​​the Taobao homepage to a sliding format."

Put 'Taodian' and 'Dianping' on the first screen, and 'Kuaipao' at the very end, so you have to scroll to see it.

Old Ma's meaning is very clear: he is unwilling to give Kuaishou any more primary traffic.

“Mr. Ma, if we do this, Ali will most likely lose the right to participate in the next round of financing for Kuaidi Dache and Kuaidi Dache.”

Zhang Yong thought for a moment and then gently reminded him.

"Let's revise it first and then talk about it."

Ma Liyun waved his hand and said.

He understood Zhang Yong's concerns and had fully considered the reactions of Senlian Capital and Chen Yansen before making a decision.

However, both Taobao Mall and Taobao are products that consume traffic resources, and he urgently needs food delivery and group buying businesses to supplement the group's offline traffic.

His previous collaboration with Kuaipao was merely a stopgap measure. Now that he has Taodiandian and Dianping, he naturally wants to cultivate his own high-frequency consumption scenarios.

What's the use of someone else's child, no matter how good it is, if it's not their own?

“Yes, Mr. Ma.” Zhang Yong sighed slightly.

He knew in his heart that the honeymoon period between Alibaba and Senlian Capital was completely over.

Since the company is going to fully enter the O2O lifestyle services industry, business conflicts with Kuaipao are inevitable.

However, he could understand Ma Liyun's idea: relying solely on third-party traffic acquisition to obtain new customers was too costly; it would be better to leverage the advantages of social media, food delivery, group buying, and other fields to continuously provide traffic resources for Yaomao.

In fact, the competition between Laiwang and WeChat in recent months has been far more intense than the battles in the e-commerce industry.

With the addition of Yixin and Momo, a situation of one dominant player and three strong contenders has been formed.

As for MiTalk, although it was launched two weeks earlier than WeChat, Lei Yijun did not devote much money and energy to the MiTalk business, and it has long since become a third-rate player.

With only 300 million daily active users, it can't even compare to WeChat, let alone YiXin, which was established not long ago. Meanwhile, Momo's daily active users have reached 1600 million.

Two days later.

Pei Yi called Chen Yansen and said, "Boss, Taobao has reduced the traffic entry permission for Kuaipao. Now, Taodiandian is the main platform being promoted. Dianping's group-buying business has been placed at the primary entry point of Taodiandian."

"Be prepared, Lao Ma is more difficult to deal with than Li Yanhong."

Chen Yansen replied immediately.

He had anticipated this day.

Ever since Ma Liyun launched the "Tao Dian Dian" project and acquired Dianping, he knew that the two companies would eventually clash.

“Good boss, with Kuaipao’s organizational structure and business cycle capabilities, it will be extremely difficult for Ali to break in. I can repel Qiandu and also defeat Ali.”

Pei Yi assured him confidently.

Three years ago, he wouldn't have said those words.

But a person's confidence is built up step by step!

Ele.me, Meituan, Dianping, Qiandu Waimai, and Qiandu Tuangou, among other well-known competitors, were either killed or severely damaged by him. The number of competitors whose names were not known was even greater, and most of them went bankrupt quietly.

Battle records available!

This is also where Pei Yi's confidence comes from!
"Then I'll see how you perform."

Chen Yansen smiled and said.

A few minutes later, he hung up the phone, tossed it aside, and randomly picked up a resume from a stack of resumes next to him.

"Zhang Yong, 41 years old, is the supply chain director of BAIC New Energy. He is responsible for building the supply chain for BAIC's EV series and achieving the localization of key components."

Highlights: Reduced motor procurement costs from 1.2 yuan per unit to 8000 yuan per unit; established a supporting industrial cluster for motors and electronic controls in the Yangtze River Delta region; skilled in building regional lean supply networks; familiar with the application rules for new energy vehicle subsidies.

Chen Yansen glanced at it and then placed the other party's resume on his left.

In his eyes, Zhang Yong's strengths are prominent, but his weaknesses are also obvious: he lacks experience in factory operations and his technical expertise is insufficient.

He then picked up another resume.

"Zhang Lei, 31 years old, is the senior director of BYD's Electronics Business Unit, in charge of the production of new energy vehicle motors and electronic controls."

Key achievements: Led the construction of motor production lines for BYD e6 and Qin models, achieving a 98.5% yield rate in mass production; optimized production processes, reducing the cost per motor by 20%; familiar with lithium iron phosphate battery technology.

Chen Yansen glanced at it and commented to himself: A techie! Skilled in manufacturing, but lacking market sensitivity.

However, this is also precisely the other party's advantage.

General Manager Chen just wants to hire an honest person who is technically skilled, not cunning, and not good at scheming to make money. How clean can someone like Zhang Yong, who comes from a purchasing and sales background, be?

After thinking for two seconds, Chen Yansen placed Zhang Lei's resume on his right.

"Lin Haifeng, 28 years old, is the supply chain director of Chery New Energy, responsible for the localization of electric vehicle parts."

Highlights: Built Chery's 3EV supply chain system, achieving 80% localized procurement; proficient in new energy vehicle subsidy policies and cost control, and helped Chery secure orders in five pilot cities in 2013.

Chen Yansen looked down and finally saw a line of notes, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

So he's a third-generation descendant; no wonder he became the supply chain director at such a young age.

Choosing him as the CEO of Orange Automotive will naturally bring in a lot of official orders; however, he lacks technical expertise and factory management experience.

Chen Yansen frowned slightly and placed his resume on the left.

Although Orange Auto is still far from being established, Xu Zhenhui has already acquired a 6000-mu plot of land in the suburbs, located about six or seven kilometers northwest of the Xuyuan Academy.

Of these, 2000 mu were allocated to Orange Auto, and the rest will be used as a parts supply area, logistics and warehousing area, and R&D and testing area.

And this is only the first phase of the project.

The project is expected to be completed in three phases, covering an area of ​​1.6 mu.

Xu Zhenhui placed a huge bet this time, a truly significant gamble!
Therefore, after hearing that Orange Auto was looking for a project leader, countless industry bigwigs actively submitted their resumes by pulling strings and using their connections.

Chen Yansen reviewed dozens of resumes in one go, and the candidate he was most satisfied with was Wang Chao, the vice president of BAIC East China Production Base.
