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

Chapter 610 Yu Chengdong: I didn't hit Luo Yonghao! Multi-shell grazing incidence elliptical collection mirror system!

"Fake? Rumors! Being attacked? Not at all!"

That evening, Luo Yonghao refuted the rumors on Weibo, addressing each piece of evidence circulating on the trending topics.

Ultimately, being a lecturer by training, he possessed clear thinking and rigorous logic, managing to steer public opinion back in the right direction.

But money has two sides, and so does people.

Luo Yonghao has been working in the internet industry for many years. As long as he has supporters, he also has haters.

In his comments section, someone immediately analyzed: "Hammer phones have only sold 30 units in a year. Is it necessary to fabricate sales figures?"

"Image.jpg!"

Not long after, a netizen posted a picture with the caption: "Whether it was fake or not, I don't know, but it probably got a good beating."

In the photo, Luo Yonghao's right cheek is visibly swollen.

As a result, Hammer phone fans insisted that the photo was photoshopped, which immediately drew a rebuttal from professionals: "A typical bruise caused by soft tissue contusion and subcutaneous bleeding is usually caused by external impact."

"Does having bruises on your face mean you were beaten? Couldn't they have just had cupping done on the corner of your eye?"

“I think it’s a birthmark, but Teacher Luo doesn’t have a birthmark.”

"It was a gang beating. I was there. Huang Zhang, Lei Yijun, and Yu Chendong joined forces and used a move called 'Heaven and Earth Together'."

"It's obviously fake news! First of all, it's impossible for Huang Zhang and Lei Yijun to join forces, so there's only one truth: Luo Yonghao complained about the poor quality of Huawei phones online, and Yu Dazui confirmed it offline."

Netizens, always eager for a good show, joined in the teasing.

Not long after, Yu Chendong came across this trending topic and was immediately stunned.

What is this?

Am I so bored that I'd go to Yanjing to attack Luo Yonghao?
Yu Chendong was both amused and exasperated, but thinking about the upcoming Huawei P7, he decided to ride the wave of popularity and replied, "It wasn't me. I was preparing for the Huawei P7 launch event at the time."

Netizens aren't stupid; they saw through Yu Chendong's little scheme at a glance.

"It wasn't me either; I'm preparing for the college entrance exam."

"No, it wasn't me. I was eating fried chicken at KFC."

"It's not me either. I'm watching 'The Female CEO's Personal God King' on Orange Short Drama."

Netizens immediately put their learning into practice and even devised a fixed expression format for "It wasn't me, I was in XX". Their comments were extremely neat, making Luo Yonghao's teeth ache and face hurt.

"I was careless; I didn't expect making mobile phones to be so difficult."

Luo Yonghao huddled in his office, covering his swollen right cheek. A dozen or so strands of hair on his head would fall out if he ran his hand through them.

Smartisan phones lack three things: a deep blue battery, good value for money, and a good user experience.

If you rely on deception in the early stages, but can't fool people anymore in the later stages, won't your sales collapse?

Priced at over three thousand yuan, it claims to be comparable to Apple, but its actual performance is only equivalent to a thousand-yuan phone.

The severe imbalance between price and performance led to a significant loss of users.

After all, you can fool people for a while, but you can't fool them forever.

Users will eventually realize what's happening.

However, the current outstanding payments of up to 3.2 million yuan to suppliers are still troubling Luo Yonghao.

He knew in his heart that his words could only fool netizens at best and temporarily stabilize most suppliers, but the truth would eventually be revealed.

We can't keep paying interest with our dignity intact, can we?

My body can't take it!

If the sales of the Smartisan T2 don't go up, they might get ganged up on next time.

Luo Yonghao looked worried and was filled with regret. Why did he have to make mobile phones?

With Orange Technology backing them up, what do Zhou Hongyi, Lei Yijun, Ding Lei, Wu Hongxin, and Jia Yaoting have on their own?
What a load of rubbish!

Luo Yonghao took a deep breath, scratched his forehead in distress, and saw a dozen or so strands of hair fall down.

at the same time.

Liu Qiangdong, who had just gotten off the plane, raised an eyebrow after listening to Xu Lei's report and said in a low voice, "Combining short videos with e-commerce? No way, I have to call Brother Sen first."

After saying that, the handsome young man got into an Audi A8 and called Chen Yansen.

“Beep! Beep! Beep!”

After waiting for the phone to ring for seven or eight seconds, the call was finally answered.

"Old Liu, you're back in China?" Chen Yansen asked casually.

"Yeah, Brother Sen, we're on our way back to the company. The 618 shopping festival is about to start. This time we're going to teach Old Ma a lesson."

Liu Qiangdong said with a smile.

Chen Yansen chuckled, already having figured out Liu Qiangdong's intentions. Too lazy to beat around the bush, he immediately spoke up: "I plan to utilize the traffic resources of Douyin and Kuaishou to launch a live-streaming sales channel. This model is somewhat similar to the old TV shopping, except that the medium of dissemination has been changed to short video software. Old Liu, are you interested?"

Live-streaming e-commerce?

How is this different from a shopping guide-based e-commerce platform?
Holding his phone, Liu Qiangdong leaned back in his Audi A8 seat, his brows furrowed slightly, and said, "Brother Sen, live-streaming sales aren't much different from the old TV shopping, are they? They all rely on talking to promote products. What I'm doing is shelf e-commerce; what users want is clear product information and reliable logistics."

"Old Liu, you're only seeing the surface. TV shopping is a one-way output; the host says what the user hears. But live-streaming sales are different. The host can interact with the user in real time. If the user asks, 'How long is the warranty on home appliances?' or 'Can you come to my home for installation?' the host can answer on the spot. This sense of trust is much stronger than that of a picture and text product page."

"Take kitchen and bathroom small appliances and large appliances as examples. You can't expect to win over all customers with just a few dozen seconds of product video and a dozen pages of product details, can you?" Chen Yansen asked rhetorically.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qiangdong immediately agreed that it made a lot of sense.

It's important to know that e-commerce platforms like JD.com, which mainly focus on 3C digital products, actually consume the most traffic.

Although the average order value is high, the frequency of shopping is extremely low.

Who has nothing better to do than buy a refrigerator or air conditioner every few days?

Therefore, JD.com's desire for new customer traffic is much greater than that of Ali.

Why did Liu Qiangdong venture into the book category?

To put it bluntly, it wasn't that Li Guoqing provoked him, but rather that he needed the book category to acquire new users at a low cost.

If even 10% of book users can be retained and subsequently purchase home appliances from JD.com, Liu Qiangdong will definitely not lose money in the long run.

This strategy will also be extended to the food delivery sector in the future.

The more Liu Qiangdong thought about it, the clearer it became!
Moreover, he was the one who made the call to Chen Yansen; he couldn't let his older brother's words fall on deaf ears.

Regardless of whether live-streaming sales would benefit JD.com or not, he had to agree to it.

After clearing his mind, Liu Qiangdong laughed heartily and said, "Of course I'm interested. I'm willing to cooperate fully."

Based on voting rights, he is the actual controller of Jingdong; based on shareholding ratio, Senlian Capital is the largest shareholder of Jingdong.

"I'll create a group later and we can discuss the details later."

Chen Yansen replied.

After chatting for a few minutes, Chen Yansen hung up the phone.

Douyin and Kuaishou are engaging in live streaming for two reasons: first, to increase revenue, and second, to boost Pinduoduo's daily transaction volume.

Liang Bo and Chen Yixiao wanted to improve their profitability, and Huang Zheng also wanted to take this opportunity to achieve the platform's annual sales target of 1.2 trillion yuan.

As for Chen Yansen, he didn't take live-streaming e-commerce too seriously.

He knew that with the development of mobile networks and short video software, the live-streaming e-commerce model was bound to emerge.

Even without Chen Yansen, there would always be Li Yansen or Wang Yansen who would step forward to do this.

Instead of passively responding, we should take the initiative.

Now, in Huang Zheng's eyes, whether or not he can defeat Ali head-on in 2014 depends entirely on the live-streaming e-commerce business.

Chen Yansen stood up and walked to the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window. Through the glass, he could see the surrounding scenery, as well as the Wanda Plaza and Qingjie Science and Technology Park under construction.

Clearly, Meng Yuanzhi wants to attract a large number of e-commerce, big data R&D, scientific and technological innovation R&D, information software and Internet industries to the vicinity of Senlian Science and Technology Park.

"Knock knock knock—!" A crisp and forceful knocking sound rang out.

"Come in," Chen Yansen said when he saw that it was Gao Weilin.

"Hehe!" Gao Weilin pushed open the door, grinned, and before his head even entered the room, half of his stomach had already come in.

Over the past year, Lao Gao has been shuttling between two places every day, handling both the financial and investment affairs of Senlian Capital and the daily management of Semir Online.

He often entertained staff from the finance, banking, and central government departments, and with so much alcohol and oil, he inevitably gained weight.

"Boss, Sanyo has softened its stance. They're offering 20 billion for 80% of the shares. Xiaosheng wants more money, but I didn't give them a single penny more."

Gao Weilin pulled up a chair for himself and boasted with a smile.

In fact, Sanyo had no other choice. Its business had shrunk drastically, and it had to either cut its losses and sell its shares to Senlian Capital, or continue to struggle and support more than 4000 R&D engineers and front-line operators.

In the end, he could only nod and agree, grumbling as he did so.

"We need to retain Sanyo's R&D team, especially the engineers in the fields of batteries and motors. These assets are more important than the equipment on the production line. Xiao Ri Zi has helped us train hundreds of researchers, and we can't let them go to waste."

Chen Yansen said firmly.

During the ten years of cooperation between Sanyo and Rongshida and Luzhou State-owned Assets, a large R&D center was built in the production base of the High-tech Zone, which trained more than 600 experienced engineers in refrigeration design, structure, electronics and electrical engineering and materials.

This is also the main reason why Chen Yansen was willing to take over Rongshida Sanyo Electric.

"Boss, I understand! The salaries of core engineers will be increased by 15%, and everyone else's salaries will be increased by 5%."

Gao Weilin quickly picked up the conversation.

"I need to find a reliable person to keep an eye on things for me. I've met the candidates recommended by the HR department, and they all seem to have 'money-grabbing' written all over their bones. I'm not very satisfied with any of them. Can you help me look around Hong Kong Island and see if there are any suitable candidates?"

Chen Yansen changed the subject.

"Boss, I have a classmate who works at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. He has a wide network of contacts. I'll give him a call in a bit."

Gao Weilin thought for a moment and then said.

"Okay, I'll get it done as soon as possible," Chen Yansen replied.

After Lao Gao finished his report, he walked out of the office and went to the edge of the balcony to make a phone call.

Chen Yansen picked up the document on his right, glanced at it casually, then encrypted the electronic file and sent it to the optical R&D department of Xingyuan Technology in Shanghai.

The cover reads: Multi-shell grazing incidence elliptical collecting mirror system!
