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

Chapter 527 AR Bus Voice Control, Cloud Atlas Project! Mr. Li, would you like a drink?
On December 23, a Gulfstream 550 landed at Yanjing International Airport.

Then, Chen Yansen got into a Maybach 62S and instructed Huang Boxiang: "Wangjing Building B, Gaode Maps headquarters."

"Yes, boss," Old Huang replied quickly.

He gripped the steering wheel and sped along the Jingping Expressway.

Huang Boxiang never expected that he would still have the opportunity to go abroad when he was almost buried halfway in the loess soil.

Sitting to the side, Song Yuncheng looked out the window, her feelings completely different from when she first came to Yanjing.

At that time, my eyes were filled with fear and curiosity. The street scenes flashed by like watching a silent film on fast forward, and even the wind carried a sense of alienation.

But now, the buildings, traffic, and even the bare sycamore trees outside the car window all seem to be covered by a familiar filter.

She visits Yanjing more often each year than she returns to her hometown of Luzhou. Besides accompanying Chen Yansen on business trips, she also frequently comes to meet clients and discuss marketing collaborations.

A short while later, the car turned into Wangjing Science and Technology Park.

Xiao Jun, leading a group of senior executives from Gaode Maps, stood outside the lobby on the first floor, glancing towards the intersection from time to time.

suddenly!

A Mercedes-Benz 62S with a leopard license plate slowly drove up, followed by a black Mercedes-Benz minivan.

With a smile on his face, Xiao Jun jogged forward and, after the car came to a stop, immediately and attentively opened the car door for Chen Yansen.

"Boss!" Xiao Jun leaned forward slightly and greeted him with a smile.

"You have a bit more gray hair."

Chen Yansen raised his right hand and placed it on Xiao Jun's shoulder, saying.

Senlian Capital's dozen or so subsidiaries include both veterans like Cao Dahua, Liao Wei, Xiao Jun, and Hou Yi, as well as young talents like Liang Bo, Zhang Yiming, Mao Chaorong, Hu Weiyi, and Qu Fang.

This makes it impossible for outsiders to guess his personnel style.

In reality, Mr. Chen is a pragmatist. As long as someone is capable, obedient, and has no ulterior motives, he will choose to give them important positions.

Hearing this, Xiao Jun's heart skipped a beat. He thought Chen Yansen thought he was too old and worried that he wouldn't have enough energy to work. So he quickly assured him, "Boss, actually I have some premature gray hair. I used to dye my hair, but I've been too busy lately, so I haven't had time to take care of it, which is why I look older."

Don't let my gray hair fool you; my energy is no less than a young person's. I recently pulled three all-nighters in a row overseeing a project, and I was still full of energy!

Three all-nighters?

Chen Yansen chuckled, realizing that Xiao Jun had misunderstood. He then said, "Try to stay up less late. If you don't leave work, how can the people below dare to leave? Gaode Maps' business depends on you. There's always work to be done. If you keep working overtime like this, I'll have to question your time management skills."

Xiao Jun grinned. Although Chen Yansen's tone carried a hint of criticism, the subtext was clear: Keep up the good work, and the CEO position will still be yours.

"Boss, mainly because we recently partnered with the Shanghai Transportation Association to launch a bus navigation function. The technology department needs to process a large amount of data to build a comprehensive algorithm model to more accurately predict the real-time location and estimated arrival time of buses."

Xiao Jun quickly explained.

"How accurate is it?" Chen Yansen asked casually as he walked inside.

"The standard for delay is within 30 seconds. The current data is 84%, but we have estimated that the larger the volume of historical bus operation data, the higher the accuracy. When combined with the current road conditions and bus schedule information, we can improve the accuracy to over 98%."

Xiao Jun replied immediately.

The principle of bus navigation is to install GPS devices on buses to continuously collect real-time information such as vehicle location and speed, and then send the data to a server via a wireless network.

After receiving the data, the server will process and calculate it to determine the real-time location of each bus, and then match it with the bus routes and station information on the map to find out the current stop of the bus.

Therefore, the more data accumulated, the more accurately the arrival time of buses can be predicted.

This feature is very useful. Although it may not seem to generate much commercial value, it can significantly increase user stickiness and usage rate.

After all, there are too many people who have no sense of direction, and in first-tier cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing, the bus routes are complicated, so much so that not only outsiders but even many locals are confused about them.

Once Gaode Maps' public transportation navigation function is launched, it will definitely attract a large amount of organic traffic.

It must be said that Xiao Jun truly deserves to be called the founder of Gaode Maps. On the product side, he has indeed done his best to consider the user's needs.

As soon as Chen Yansen and his group entered the office area, some bold employees waved and greeted him: "Brother Sen!"

The sounds rose and fell, like ocean waves.

Long-time employees at FoxTao liked to call Chen Yansen "Brother Sen," and as the news spread throughout the group, many new employees also started calling him "Brother Sen."

Calling him "boss" or "General Manager Chen" feels too formal; calling him "Brother Sen" feels much more intimate.

Chen Yansen smiled, nodded, and said, "Thank you all for your hard work. I'll treat you to afternoon tea later."

"Thank you, Brother Sen!" came another wave of shouts.

"Tell the Orange Pay campaign team to send an 88 yuan red envelope to all Gaode Map employees at noon."

Chen Yansen gave instructions to Song Yuncheng.

"Okay," Song Yuncheng replied, then slowed down and contacted the relevant personnel on the cloud boat.

Accompanied by Xiao Jun and others, Chen Yansen toured from the customer service department to the marketing department, product management department, technology research and development department, and human resources department.

His understanding of Gaode Map's current development status is mainly based on financial and business reports, which is nothing compared to seeing things in detail on-site.

He would occasionally stop to chat with his employees and listen to their feedback.

After completing the round, it was already noon.

Since there was no canteen at the Gaode Map headquarters, Chen Yansen, Xiao Jun, and others went to the nearby Kuai Pao Canteen.

Pushing open the glass door, the warmth from the indoor air rushed in.

It was lunchtime, and there wasn't a single Kuaipao delivery driver in sight. Instead, there were several Yunsu couriers sitting in their seats, eating heartily.

As soon as Chen Yansen entered, the noise in the room decreased by half.

"boss?"

"Brother Sen!"

"Wow! It's actually the living Chen Yansen!"

While the employees of Senlian Capital managed to remain restrained, the workers in Wangjing Science and Technology Park, upon seeing Chen Yansen, immediately became excited and wanted to come over for a photo.

Security personnel quickly formed a human wall to keep the surging crowd outside.

Seeing this, Chen Yansen did not show the slightest impatience. Instead, he smiled gently at the crowd and waved.

"Boss, let me get your food for you." Xiao Jun knew that if he let Chen Yansen queue up, who knows what kind of trouble he might cause.

Chen Yansen hummed in agreement and did not object.

He found an empty seat and sat down, while simultaneously facing dozens of cameras.

There's no way around it; he's just too popular in China. Especially after Zeng Jiwen and his two colleagues won three Nobel Prizes in Chemistry, his and Senlian Capital's national recognition skyrocketed to the point where everyone knows them.

The world's richest man at the age of 21 has a net worth of 600 billion yuan, and his employees include three Nobel Prize laureates in Chemistry.

It's hard not to become famous!

"Dad, guess who I saw?"

"Chen Yansen.jpg, he also eats lunch at the Kuai Pao cafeteria!" "He's tall and handsome in person. Who was it that was spreading rumors that President Chen wasn't 1.8 meters tall? I'm 1.75 meters tall, and he's half a head taller than me. There's a picture to prove it."

"Come to Kuai Pao Canteen in Building B of Wangjing!"

People eating in the cafeteria took out their phones to take pictures, and when they weren't satisfied, they showed them off to their friends.

In other places, this might not have the same effect, but here is Wangjing Science and Technology Park, a hub for Yanjing Internet companies.

Chen Yansen clearly underestimated his influence among young people!
Despite the security personnel blocking them, many people were still eager to go up and take a photo with him.

A short while later, Xiao Jun and the others returned from the employee entrance with their meals.

Kuai Pao Canteen mainly serves home-style dishes, and the taste is better than that of typical Chinese chain restaurants.

After all, it was made fresh on the same day, not pre-made.

The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous, so the workers in the park often come here.

When will the Gaode Maps car navigation version be packaged?

Chen Yansen looked at Xiao Jun and asked.

"The launch date is tentatively set for January 1st. The AR navigation technology is still undergoing final testing."

In addition, we have added features such as real-time traffic display, congestion avoidance, and a voice assistant. We have also added three voice packs: one featuring Guo Degang, one featuring Yang Mi, and one featuring Huang Bo.

Xiao Jun replied.

Since the launch of Lin Chi-ling's voice pack, which brought more than 400 million new users to Gaode Maps, Xiao Jun began to think about the celebrity navigation voice function.

Immediately afterward, before Chen Yansen could ask any further questions, Xiao Jun continued to introduce the newly launched Cloud Map platform.

Simply put, it means opening up Gaode Maps' data to third-party partners, such as car manufacturers and logistics companies, to help them optimize route planning and improve operational efficiency.

In addition, CloudMap collaborates with transportation associations to alleviate or solve urban traffic problems using technology and data services.

Of course, most importantly, this allows them to charge exorbitant fees for data services.

It is evident that Gaode Maps is doing very well after joining Senlian Capital. It can not only earn advertising fees and commission rebates through Kuaidi Dache and Kuaidi Dache, but also generate continuous revenue through open data interfaces.

Half an hour later, Chen Yansen took a tissue to wipe his mouth and said to Xiao Jun, "We'll discuss the specific business data in detail during the year-end performance review."

After saying that, he got up to leave.

Zhou Hongyi invited him to visit the 360 ​​headquarters in the afternoon, and Lei Yijun invited him to have dinner at Jingzhaoyin in the evening.

Zhang Chaoyang has just sent him the location of the bar we're going to tonight.

Mr. Chen has many enemies, but he also has quite a few friends.

If you include those he rejected, he spent half a month in Yanjing, and the drinking parties never stopped.

However, not everyone will give him face. Zhou Hongyi and Lei Yijun rejected Paul Jacob and chose to support Tiangong Technology, which was worth spending a few hours to deepen their relationship.

"Boss, let me see you off." Xiao Jun stood up and helped Chen Yansen into the car.

at the same time.

News of Chen Yansen's appearance at Wangjing Science and Technology Park spread quickly and soon became a trending topic.

"Which restaurant's chopsticks are served at the cafeteria? Is it too late to ask for a photo with them? My parents really like Mr. Chen, and they want me to find a partner who meets Mr. Chen Yansen's standards."

"Then your parents must have a grudge against you! By Mr. Chen's standards, you're probably destined to be single for life."

"Chopsticks canteens have opened more than a thousand times. I guess Mr. Chen is just advertising his own products."

"Does Kuai Pao Canteen need advertising? It's clean and hygienic, and the prices are reasonable. You can eat your fill for only 15 yuan in Yanjing. You won't find another place like it anywhere else."

"15 yuan? Come to Northeast China, spend as much as you want!"

"Brother upstairs, I suggest you try the Kuai Pao cafeteria if you have the chance. You'll know that 15 yuan for lunch is really not expensive in Beijing. I even wanted to give a few more yuan, afraid that the cafeteria might go out of business one day."

Netizens were discussing it animatedly in the comments section.

Kuai Pao Canteen's pricing is carefully considered; it's profitable, but the profit margin isn't high, so it won't have a significant impact on the surrounding family-run shops.

It doesn't have a significant price advantage, but it wins in terms of good taste, cleanliness, and moderate portions.

The ingredients were sourced from Kuaipao Maicai and Pinbei's agricultural assistance program; they weren't particularly rare, but they were exceptionally fresh.

This is also the core reason why Kuai Pao Canteen is so well received.

Meanwhile, Chen Yansen took a car to the next stop—No. 6 Jiuxianqiao Road, the location of the 360 ​​headquarters building.

……

……

The next morning, as dawn was breaking.

A Hongqi sedan stopped in the hotel's reception area, and a middle-aged man in a gray jacket got out. Just as he was about to make a phone call to urge the driver, he saw a tall, well-dressed young man striding towards them.

Hey!
No wonder Mr. Li wanted to bring him along; he truly is the most dazzling business card among Chinese entrepreneurs.

"Hello Mr. Chen, this is Bao Shihang from the Foreign Affairs Association of the Central Secretariat. The plane is scheduled to take off at 8 o'clock. You need to go to the airport first."

Bao Shihang said with a smile.

"It's troublesome."

Chen Yansen nodded and sat in the back seat of the Hongqi car.

After driving for only ten minutes, he realized he was going the wrong way and wasn't heading towards Yanjing International Airport.

But then he thought that given Li Qingsong's status, he was most likely taking off from a closed airport, so he didn't pay too much attention.

About forty minutes later, the car finally entered the small airport, which was full of checkpoints.

The young man in uniform stood ramrod straight at the entrance, his assault rifle holding three bullets, while the magazine on his waist was fully loaded.

It was exactly 7:30.

Chen Yansen got off the car and, guided by the staff, entered the passenger cabin.

This Boeing 747 is much larger than the Gulfstream 550, with more than 300 people on board.

After pulling down a soundproof panel, Chen Yansen met Li Qingsong for the second time: "Hello, Mr. Li!"

"Have a seat," Li Qingsong said casually.

Chen Yansen nodded slightly and sat down.

In this cabin, besides Li Qingsong, there was his personal secretary, as well as the heads of the Business Association and the Foreign Affairs Association.

They are usually only seen in the news.

Chen Yansen appeared extremely relaxed. He glanced at the beverage cart next to him, poured himself a glass of juice without being asked, and turned to Li Qingsong, saying, "Mr. Li, would you like a glass?"

Li Qingsong chuckled to himself. He really wanted to ask Chen Guobin how he had managed to cultivate Chen Yansen.
