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

Chapter 562 Soaring! Breaking through 1460 billion US dollars! Little Ma, who spends money like water!

February 8, Xucheng, Zhuxianzhuang Science and Technology Park.

The spring chill lingers, and the north wind blows like a knife.

Fortunately, the sun was high in the sky, adding a touch of warmth.

Chen Yansen, dressed in an indigo suit and with a bright red scarf around his neck, stood on the ground floor, clutching several bulging red envelopes in his hands.

"Happy New Year, Brother Sen! May you grow more and more handsome!"

A merchant operations manager from Pinbei Mall accepted the red envelope and flattered the seller with a grin.

"Chi Kai, keep up the good work and keep striving for excellence!"

Chen Yansen nodded in acknowledgment and offered a casual word of encouragement.

"Happy New Year, class monitor! Wishing you abundant wealth and great fortune."

Xu Xingxing stood behind Chi Kai in line. After Chi Kai finished receiving his red envelope, Xu Xingxing approached him and offered her a smiley compliment.

"Manager Xu has such a sweet tongue, reward her!"

Chen Yansen jokingly handed over two red envelopes as a start to the workday.

When Xu Xingxing heard Chen Yansen praise her for her sweet talk, her heart fluttered. No one knew better than Chen Yansen whether she was sweet-talking or not.

"Thank you, class monitor." Xu Xingxing looked intently at Chen Yansen and said in a deliberately high-pitched voice.

Chen Yansen waved his hand, signaling her to leave quickly.

Xu Xingxing didn't care and happily walked towards the headquarters building of Pinbei.

Chen Yansen smiled and glanced up.

The queue stretched from our front all the way to the park entrance, even forming an S-shape, a vast, endless line.

There are tens of thousands of employees in the science park. If we were to give out red envelopes to each of them, we wouldn't have to do anything all morning.

Therefore, the employees who can line up here to receive red envelopes are all those who participated in the lottery on Yunzhou and were lucky enough to receive the opening red envelopes on the spot.

Other employees can receive an electronic red envelope of 188 yuan simply by opening the project group at 9:00 AM.

The cash red envelopes sent by Chen Yansen ranged in value from 200 yuan, 400 yuan, 600 yuan to 800 yuan.

Seeing that the boss had run out of red envelopes, Meng Yun quickly grabbed a handful from the box next to him and held them in his hands for Chen Yansen to use at any time.

To her surprise, Chen Yansen was able to call out the names of every employee in line and exchange a few pleasantries with them, offering words of encouragement.

Many people were filled with excitement when they received the red envelopes and heard Chen Yansen call out their names accurately.

They thought the boss only remembered the department heads, but to their surprise, he could even pronounce the names of ordinary customer service staff correctly.

To say I wasn't moved would be a lie!

An hour later, at 10 o'clock, Chen Yansen handed the last red envelope to a research and development engineer at Tiangong Technology.

"Boss, regarding the personnel changes at Pinbei, Xiong Li has already sent out a new appointment email."

Meng Yun followed Chen Yansen on the right, reminding him as they walked.

"Let's have a short meeting. I need to talk to Yifeng," Chen Yansen instructed.

"Okay, boss, I'll arrange it right away."

Meng Yun took out his phone, tapped Yunzhou with his fingers, and booked a meeting room.

When Chen Yansen returned to his office, the money tree on his desk was still lush and verdant. To his left were a plate of mango yogurt, a cup of cold brew tea that had already been prepared, and a dish of fresh fruit.

It goes without saying that this was Meng Yun's doing.

Having worked as a work assistant for nearly a year, Meng Yun had become familiar with her boss's preferences.

Although he is only 22 years old, Chen Yansen lives like a middle-aged man in his 30s or 40s: he loves growing flowers, feeding fish, and drinking tea.

What reassured Meng Yun the most was that the boss never played any underhanded tricks.

"Boss, I made an appointment at 10:30, in conference room A3 on the 11th floor," Meng Yun said simultaneously.

"understood."

Chen Yansen plopped down and turned on his computer to start processing work emails.

Seeing this, Meng Yun consciously withdrew and gently closed the door.

the other side.

Zhang Yifeng sat in front of his computer, staring at the official appointment email sent by the human resources department, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

The appointment notice states that he will serve as the CEO of Lazada, while also holding the position of Executive Officer for Lazada Java.

Although he was to be seconded to Temasek, his position was promoted two levels, and he became a member of the management team at Pinbei Technology.

Keep in mind, he's only twenty-four years old this year.

For an average person, at this age, their career is mostly just starting out, and reaching the supervisor level would be considered a very fast promotion.

In his third year after graduating from university, he not only became CEO, but his total annual base salary also reached 140 million yuan. Including subsidies, overtime pay, and quarterly bonuses, his cash income alone was more than 300 million yuan.

If you add stocks to that, your annual salary will be close to ten million.

At that moment, Yunzhou suddenly received a meeting invitation message, with only him and Chen Yansen as attendees.

Zhang Yifeng was a smart man. He understood Sen Ge's intentions. After sorting out his thoughts, he picked up his computer and headed towards the A3 conference room.

"Congratulations, Sister Yuncheng!"

"Mr. Song, when are you treating us to dinner?"

"I saw it coming a long time ago. With Yuncheng's abilities, it was only a matter of time before she became COO."

Faced with his subordinates' flattery, Song Yuncheng smiled faintly, gave them a few casual replies, and sent them away.

Effective immediately, I have been promoted to Chief Operating Officer of Pinbei Mall, but I just can't feel happy.

Pinbei, Orange Payment, and Today Technology were included in the first batch of relocation companies and will be moved to the Luzhou headquarters in two batches before March.

In other words, for the next six months, unless she rushed back to Xucheng on weekends, she would have no chance to see Chen Yansen.

In stark contrast to her calm demeanor were the beaming smiles of her colleagues.

Although the company has cancelled the general salary adjustment policy this year, employees who received a 3-month or 2-month quarterly bonus once or twice last year will automatically be eligible for a salary adjustment.

Salary adjustments range from 5% to 20% depending on annual performance.

In addition, the quarterly bonus has been fully upgraded, from the original 1 to 3 months to 2 to 4 months.

In other words, the minimum annual salary is 20 months' salary, and the maximum is 28 months' salary.

If you catch the big sales events like 618, Double Eleven, and Double Twelve, you might even break through the 30-month salary barrier by achieving additional sales targets.

From the outside, Pinbei's base salary for the same position is on par with the market rate, but the actual take-home pay of employees far surpasses that of second-tier internet companies such as JD.com, NetEase, and Sina, and is even much higher than that of Alibaba and Baidu.

Motivated by the generous compensation and comprehensive benefits, the group was full of energy. After receiving their start-of-work bonuses, they immediately threw themselves into their work, demonstrating a strong sense of self-motivation.

After all, they had all heard that the group had bought two plots of land in Luzhou and was building the Orange Community, which would be sold to internal buyers at a 6% discount.

However, compared to the group's hundreds of thousands of employees, these 10,000 houses are clearly a drop in the ocean.

Who will receive the benefits first?
Naturally, it's employees with high performance and long tenure!
Suddenly, every department was energized.

The product department held requirement meetings with R&D and operations teams; the business development and operations team contacted key account merchants to prepare for the Spring and Autumn New Fashion promotion mobilization meeting; and the technology department was scheduling the development cycle to work with the product department to accelerate the version iteration of Pinbei.

With the same network speed, Pinbei's startup speed must be faster than Taobao's!

Cut all useless and worthless features!
Everything is for the user experience, and the ordering process and after-sales service have been improved to the extreme.

at the same time.

Wang Chao, CEO of Orange Auto, waved cash around and, with the assistance of the human resources department and headhunting firms, frantically poached talent from automakers such as Tesla, BMW, Ford, and GM.

The main body consists of R&D personnel, concentrated in fields such as motors, electronic control systems, intelligent driving, vehicle networking, materials, and charging technology.

Talent is mobile!

Funding in place, personnel in place, and dedication in place!
At the same time, He Xiaopeng, the founder of UC Browser, announced that he would cooperate with Haima Automobile to enter the new energy vehicle industry.

BYD, JAC, BAIC, and other automakers have also released new pure electric models. At the start of the new year, the food delivery war, e-commerce war, new energy, and the sharing economy quickly became trending topics online.

"Ma Liyun invested in XPeng Motors?"

Chen Yansen hung up the phone and muttered to himself.

Cut off He Xiaopeng's funding?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Chen Yansen nipped it in the bud; he wasn't that petty.

Surely they can't just ruin He Xiaopeng's life just because Senlian Capital and Ali have fallen out?

He could do it, but there's no need.

Without XPeng paving the way, how will Orange Auto reap the benefits two years from now?
He needs someone like He Xiaopeng to cultivate the market and users for Orange Auto.

Once the market heats up, user acceptance of new energy vehicles increases, and infrastructure is improved, Orange Auto can then enter the market with more mature technology and more precise positioning, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

After clearing his mind, Chen Yansen didn't pay much attention. He leaned back and squinted as he thought.

I have to go to Beijing for a meeting early next month.

As his wealth and social influence continued to grow, he acquired more and more titles, and invitations were sent to him for all kinds of high-profile conferences.

What proposal should we put forward at that time?

Chen Yansen pondered secretly.

He knew perfectly well that he could raise minor issues, but he shouldn't bring up major ones; anyone who took them seriously would only embarrass themselves.

"Electronic invoices are an alternative, but the central government's big data is the first choice."

Before long, Chen Yansen had a draft in mind.

These two proposals are minor but can effectively address some of the public transportation needs.

For example, information such as bus and flight arrival times can be used to make Kuaipao's travel channel and Gaode Map's navigation function more accurate, providing users with a better product experience.

"She is just my sister. My sister said that purple has a very charming feel..."

The phone on the table suddenly rang.

Chen Yansen lay motionless in the chair, then reached out and his phone flew into his palm.

Musk?
What does this guy want from me?
Chen Yansen frowned slightly, but didn't think much of it and pressed the answer button.

"Mr. Chen, Tesla will be holding a Model S LR delivery ceremony at the Bund Convention and Exhibition Center at 9:30 a.m. on Monday. I would like to invite you to attend."

Musk said with a smile.

The first batch of "old leeks" (victims) in China?
Due to the persistently high supply price of Deep Blue batteries, Tesla's announced selling price after establishing offices in Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen is not low.

The Model S LR is priced as high as 119.9 million yuan!
Chen Yansen immediately became interested, since he was going to inspect Xingyuan Technology's Shanghai branch anyway, so it was convenient.

With that in mind, he readily agreed.

Ten minutes later, Chen Yansen ended the call on his own initiative, then leaned back in his chair and started flipping through the news.

Zhuo Wei, China's top paparazzo, has declared: See you Monday!

"Ali is seeking to invest in 360 to counter the threat posed by WeChat and gain traffic support!"

"Ali Mobile Game Platform: Adopting a more favorable 20/80 revenue split for developers (Ali only takes 20%), challenging Tencent's core business!"

"Pinbei spends a whopping $20 billion, marking the beginning of a polarized era in e-commerce!"

Chen Yansen snorted coldly. Old Ma really wants to do everything and eat everything.

Don't you even consider whether you have such good teeth?

Are you worried about impacting your IPO plans by trying to fight two fronts at once?
……

……

In an office building in downtown Nanjing.

"Wow! It really arrived in my account?"

A young man in his early twenties stared intently at his phone screen, his face filled with disbelief.

When he opened Weishi, he noticed a red envelope pop-up in the lower left corner of the video, prompting him to watch the video for 30 seconds to open it.

I originally thought it would only be a few cents, but when I opened it up, it turned out to be 8.8 yuan.

He tried linking his WeChat account to withdraw the money, and the money arrived in his account immediately.

Then he watched several more videos and withdrew a total of more than 30 yuan in cash.

This money came too easily; it's unbelievable!
At this moment, the comment sections of Weibo, Toutiao, WeChat Moments, Douban, and Renren.com were completely flooded.

"Go to Weishi! Watch videos and get red envelopes! I earned over 60 yuan in half an hour!"

"Holy crap! I only have 27 yuan, why should I give you so much?"

"New users have a very high chance of winning 38 yuan in their first red envelope!"

"My mom has never registered for Weishi, but I'll let her claim the red envelope!"

"Ma Wenteng is throwing money around!"

Douyin and Weishi were launched one after the other, and have been developing for more than half a year.

Douyin has 2.6 million registered users and 7600 million daily active users.

Weishi, relying on the joint login of WeChat and QQ, has attracted over 4.5 million registered users with one-click traffic.

To Ma Wenteng's embarrassment, the daily active users were only 2300 million.

The number of registered users is 1.7 times that of others, but the daily active users are only 30% of Douyin's.

After much deliberation, Pony Ma decided to go all in, signing a marketing expense bill of 500 million yuan in one go.

"Even if we have to throw money at it, we'll make the short video industry thrive!"

At a Tencent internal board meeting, Ma Wenteng made a bold announcement, his tone carrying an undeniable forcefulness.

He saw new growth opportunities for Tencent in the business models of Mimo and Douyin.

If 500 million isn't enough, then add another 500 million!
As soon as the red envelope campaign was launched, Weishi's daily active users began to surge, quickly exceeding 5000 million!
Upon learning this, Chen Yansen curled his lip and said, "You can buy users with money, but can you make money for a lifetime?"

Giving users red envelopes to get them to watch videos on the platform is putting the cart before the horse!

Chen Yansen didn't take it to heart at all and immediately forgot about it.

At 5 o'clock sharp, General Manager Chen left work.

Song Yuncheng is moving to Luzhou tomorrow, and as her master, I naturally want to teach her a few more poses before she leaves.

At 10:30 p.m., just as Chen Yansen was tutoring Song Yuncheng, the New York Stock Exchange opened across the ocean.

Pinduoduo opened at $49.1, and within just 3 minutes, it plummeted to $51.6.

The circuit breaker mechanism has been triggered!

Five minutes later, the price continued to surge, breaking through the $54 mark and triggering the circuit breaker mechanism again.

Its market capitalization has returned to its peak of $1200 billion!
The alliance between Pinbei and JD.com has given North American investors more room for imagination. All institutional and individual investors who have purchased Pinbei stock are hoping that the two sides can join forces to surpass Ali.

Half an hour later, Pinduoduo's market value jumped to 1460 billion US dollars!
One domestic investor who bought Pinbei stock couldn't hide his excitement, slapping his thigh and saying, "I knew Pinbei's stock price was greatly undervalued!"

He bought a total of $5 worth of goods and made a profit of $1.7 in just a short time, which is equivalent to more than 10 yuan.

"Awesome! Thank you, Boss Chen, thank you, Brother Sen, I love you to death."

He chuckled and expressed his love to Chen Yansen from afar.

In reality, not many retail investors dare to buy Pinduoduo stock.

According to stockbrokers and financial experts, Pinduoduo's market value is inflated, and a reasonable figure should be between 800 and 1000 billion US dollars.

But who could have imagined that Liu Qiangdong and Chen Yansen would get together again!
"Dog expert, you son of a bitch!"

Some investors who originally wanted to buy but were advised against by experts cursed angrily.
