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

Chapter 649 Luo Yonghao: 3.4 Billion Yuan in Debt, Starting Over! Tesla Open Sourced?

The first day of July, Shaobei Town.

After launching the "10 Billion Yuan Rural E-commerce" plan, Huang Zheng prioritized including Chen Yansen's hometown, Chunshen, in the pilot program.

Ultimately, the key to whether a project can proceed steadily lies in whether it can generate profits.

What is a pilot program?

Essentially, the goal is to make it clear to everyone that joining Pinbei Rural E-commerce can bring tangible benefits.

It all boils down to one thing: making money!
Only projects driven by profit can last.

Otherwise, it's all bullshit!

Wu Lei sat at the workbench of the Yunsu Express service station, looking at the Pinbei Rural E-commerce Office diagonally opposite him, his expression a mixture of worry and joy.

The worry is that the new user referral bonus for the Pinbei App has been gone, and this business has been transferred to the Pinbei Rural E-commerce Office, which will reduce my monthly income by several hundred yuan.

The good news is that Pinbei's rural e-commerce office has opened a training course on e-commerce operations and live-streaming sales, which means that the number of packages picked up and delivered may increase slightly, and the performance of the service stations will also improve significantly as a result.

"Brother Lei, shall we go over for a visit?"

Hu Peng nudged Wu Lei with his arm and asked with a grin.

"Let's talk about it at noon. The delivery truck will be here soon, and I'll be busy picking up packages this morning."

Wu Lei rolled his eyes at Hu Peng, looking at him with a half-smile, as if to say, "I knew you were trying to slack off."

Hu Peng chuckled twice, withdrew his hand, and scratched his head.

at the same time.

The Pinbei Rural E-commerce Office, which is only about 80 square meters in total, is divided into a reception area, an office area, and a training area.

Wu Linhui is a local. After graduating from the e-commerce major at Anhui University of Technology, he first went to work for an e-commerce company in Hangzhou, where he worked in operations for two years.

After that, he switched jobs and joined Pinbei, becoming a training instructor for Pinbei Rural Area.

"...Next is to pay a deposit. The deposit standard for agricultural and sideline products is 5000 yuan, but this only applies to stores with monthly sales of less than 10 yuan."

If your online store's monthly sales exceed 10 yuan, the security deposit amount will also increase accordingly, capped at 5 yuan..."

Wu Linhui stood in front of the LED screen, methodically introducing the process of joining and opening a store on Pinbei.

"Teacher Wu, is it possible to not pay the deposit?"

A middle-aged man in his thirties with dark skin immediately raised his right hand and asked a question upon hearing this.

He is a major goose farmer in the town, with an annual output of 2000 geese. After deducting the costs of feed, goslings, disease prevention, water and electricity, and labor, plus income from side businesses such as goose feathers and goose eggs, he can earn about 100,000 yuan a year.

But asking him to pay a 5000 yuan deposit is just asking for trouble!

"Zhang Shengle, let me ask you, have you ever bought anything on Pinduoduo?"

After being interrupted, Wu Linhui didn't mind and instead asked with a smile.

"I've bought it! When it comes to online shopping skills, I'm the best in this whole area!"

Zhang Shengle gave a thumbs-up and boasted to himself.

"What if the clothes you bought have a big hole in them after only a few days because of poor quality, and the merchant's customer service ignores you when you try to contact them?"

Wu Linhui asked again.

“Then I’ll definitely contact the platform’s customer service,” Zhang Shengle replied matter-of-factly.

Wu Linhui smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "But have you ever thought about it? If the merchant hasn't paid the deposit, the platform won't even be able to help you protect your rights."

Zhang Shengle was taken aback, thinking: That makes sense!
But then he thought about it again and added with a grin, "Teacher Wu, you said it yourself, those are all unscrupulous merchants, I, Zhang Shengle, am a legitimate businessman."

"Yes, the teacher believes in you, but the colleague in charge of the onboarding review doesn't know that you have to pay a deposit so that the platform knows you're a legitimate person."

Wu Linhui spread his hands and joked jokingly.

Upon hearing this, the others in the training room burst into laughter.

Someone patted Zhang Shengle on the shoulder and joked, "Old Zhang, you have to pay the money before Pinbei can issue you a legitimate ID."

"Go away!" Zhang Shengle blushed and slapped away the hand that was on his shoulder.

"Alright, let's continue!" Wu Linhui tapped the writing board, then switched the screen and began explaining the menu bar in the merchant's backend.

the other side.

At five o'clock sharp, Chen Yansen left work on time.

Technological breakthroughs cannot be achieved by simply spending time. All you need to do each day is turn on the Planck clock for 12 seconds and then spend a few hours organizing your ideas and thoughts into technical documents.

Old Huang drove his car at high speed along Hongmei South Road.

Huang Boxiang has been having a very comfortable time lately.

He actually works no more than one hour a day, and spends the rest of his time either scrolling through Douyin (TikTok) in the rest area of ​​Xingyuan Technology or watching Orange Short Drama to pass the time.

"Old Huang, your niece will be a sophomore after the start of the semester, right?"

Chen Yansen asked casually.

"Yes, thanks to the boss's care, she now spends two days a week interning in Pinduoduo's merchant operations department."

Huang Boxiang said with deep gratitude.

He knew very well that as long as his niece worked hard step by step, she would have the opportunity to become a full-time employee when she was a senior in college, and her base salary would be at least 15,000 yuan.

In addition, with various subsidies and bonuses included, the average monthly income can reach 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

Moreover, it's a six-hour workday and a four-day work week with three days off. Where else can you find such a good job?

“I heard Yuan Wei mention it once. This girl studies very hard and is very smart. I’ll transfer her to the reserve management training class later.”

Chen Yansen said in a flat tone.

Reserve Management Training Course?
Old Huang was stunned for a moment.

Although he was just a driver, he knew quite a bit about Pinduoduo and understood that the reserve management training course was used to train grassroots managers.

According to the rules, only the top-performing graduates in each year's campus recruitment have the opportunity to get in.

The boss is clearly using connections to get himself in!
"Boss, how about we let her do an internship for two years and then decide what to do when she's a senior?"

Huang Boxiang hesitated before speaking.

He was both afraid of causing trouble for Chen Yansen and reluctant to let his niece miss this rare opportunity, so he seemed particularly hesitant.

"I'm informing you, not discussing it with you."

Chen Yansen waved his hand, indicating that Lao Huang didn't need to say anything more.

"Thank you, boss." Huang Boxiang's voice was slightly choked with emotion, his heart filled with gratitude and a warm feeling welled up inside him.

Chen Yansen smiled faintly and turned his gaze to the street scene passing by outside the window.

The setting sun dyed the clouds a warm orange, the leaves of the plane trees along the roadside swayed gently in the wind, and occasionally a late-night pedestrian would ride by on an electric bike, its basket filled with freshly bought vegetables and fruits, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

As for taking care of Huang Boxiang's niece, it was just a small favor.

A short while later, the car stopped at No. 18 Lanxiang Lake. Chen Yansen got out of the car and walked through a grove of hydrangeas. As soon as he stepped into the living room, Ye Qiuping ran over and skillfully helped him take off his leather shoes and put on comfortable house shoes.

"I've made your favorite water chestnut and imperata root sweet soup. Wait ten more minutes and dinner will be ready."

Ye Qiuping said with a smile.

On weekdays, Chen Yansen goes to Xingyuan Technology, while she stays in the villa to work remotely, handling the daily operations of Orange Communications.

Chen Yansen hummed in agreement and walked over to the sofa to sit down.

Ye Qiuping turned and went into the kitchen.

She wore white lounge pants today, with a faint pink lining visible underneath. From behind, she looked full and round like a peach.

Chen Yansen leaned back comfortably on the sofa, took out his phone, and opened Toutiao (a Chinese news and information platform).

"China Resources Group integrates pharmaceutical assets such as Sanjiu and Shuanghe through internal restructuring in order to cope with market changes."

"Tesla Opens Up All Patents: Musk Announces Open Patents to Drive Electric Vehicle Industry Development."

Upon seeing this, Chen Yansen pondered for a moment and immediately understood Musk's intentions.

The other party probably realized that it would be difficult for Tesla alone to shake the position of traditional gasoline car brands, so they wanted to find help.

Furthermore, the more companies involved in the construction of infrastructure such as charging piles, battery swapping stations, and supporting power grids, the more motivated the local central government will be to promote these projects.

Musk is using free patents as bait to attract more capital and companies to join him in expanding the market and making the pie bigger.

These open patents cover multiple key areas, including technologies such as batteries, battery packs, electromechanical systems, rotors, transmissions, battery thermal management, motors, electronic controls, vehicle manufacturing, human-machine interaction, and charging stations.

However, there's no such thing as a free lunch!

Tesla's patents are free, but with conditions: companies using its patents cannot file any lawsuits against Tesla regarding patent issues, and must also make corresponding concessions to Tesla regarding their own patents.

To put it simply, even if Tesla infringes on your trademark rights or trade secrets, you cannot sue it.

For Chen Yansen, although leveraging Tesla's patents can save him the trouble of accumulating technology in the early stages, he will inevitably have to bear the negative reputation of "relying on Tesla" in the future, which is not worthwhile.

Since the car production base in the virtual city is still under construction, he has plenty of time to advance the research and development of motors, electronic control systems, and intelligent driving systems.

Whether other emerging electric vehicle manufacturers can resist this temptation is beyond his concern.

"The online lottery business is booming: platforms such as Taocai.com and 500.com saw peak traffic and sales during the World Cup."

"The screenwriter of 'My Own Swordsman' was arrested for drug use and issued an apology: I will never use drugs again in this life."

"The TV series 'Ten Years of Love' is a hit: starring Deng Chao and Dong Jie, it tells the story of college students who went south to Shenzhen to start their own businesses in the 90s."

Chen Yansen tapped his finger and sure enough, he found Sherlock Holmes in the comments section: "It is said that this drama is the one that brought Dong Jie and Wang Dazhi together."

Some people even posted photos of passionate kissing that were exposed by paparazzi last year in the comments section.

At this moment, Ye Qiuping carried two steaming plates of side dishes and called out softly, "Boss, dinner is ready."

Chen Yansen sat up straight, then got up and walked towards the dining table.

At the same time, Smartisan Technology, which had been founded less than two years ago, officially declared bankruptcy. Luo Yonghao owed 3.4 million yuan in debt and was constantly being chased by a bunch of investors and suppliers demanding payment.

"Teacher Luo, how about we switch to live-streaming e-commerce?"

Zhu Xiaomu, a product vice president at Smartisan Technology, scratched his beard and made the suggestion to Luo Yonghao.

It's worth noting that JD.com's chairman, Liu Qiangdong, only broadcasts once a week, yet he consistently generates around 3 million yuan in sales. With a commission rate of 20%, he can earn 6000 million yuan per broadcast.

Although the debt of 3.4 million yuan is a lot, given Luo Yonghao's smooth talk and online popularity, he may very well become the next "Liu Qiangdong".

Luo Yonghao slowly raised his head, his face full of guilt.

These six people in the office, even in this situation, are still willing to work for him. How could he let them down?
There was a "pop" sound!
Luo Yonghao slapped himself without hesitation, wincing in pain.

The others were stunned. What was going on?
"Teacher Luo, please don't do this!" Zhu Xiaomu quickly stopped him.

Luo Yonghao ignored him and swung the fist at the right cheek.

"Clap clap-!"

Those around couldn't stop them.

In the blink of an eye, Luo Yonghao's right cheek swelled up.

"Hyoki, take some photos for me and post them online from a passerby's perspective."

Luo Yonghao then stopped, satisfied, and gave instructions to Zhu Xiaomu.

"Teacher Luo, what's going on?" Zhu Xiaomu asked, puzzled.

"We're broke right now. If we don't create some hype, where will we get the buzz? If the live stream doesn't get any traffic, we simply can't keep going."

Luo Yonghao said with a wry smile.

On the other hand, he also wanted to take advantage of the situation to play the victim and get suppliers and investors to give him more time to catch his breath.

An hour later, the news that "Luo Yonghao was beaten again" became a trending topic.

In the photo, Luo Yonghao's right cheek is swollen like a steamed bun.

"Who did this? How could they beat up our lovely teacher Luo like this? It's so cruel!"

"It seems that people shouldn't work too hard. Teacher Luo went into debt of 3.4 million yuan because he worked too hard."

"I heard that Luo Yonghao is going to do a live stream on Douyin to sell products and pay off his debts. I have to say, although Smartisan phones aren't that great, Luo's character deserves praise."

"What do you know! Of the 3.4 million in debt, 2 million is from Yanjing State-owned Assets. He dares not to pay it back, just try it!"

Netizens discussed it animatedly.

Smartisan's suppliers are also trying to find out who attacked Luo Yonghao, and how ruthless that attack was.

After asking around, no one admitted it.

Smartisan Technology collapsed on the first day of July 2014, while Luo Yonghao, with ice packs on his injured face, began planning a new company with Zhu Xiaomu and others.

……

……

After dinner, Chen Yansen lay on the rocking chair in the yard and brought up the system panel.

[Humanitarian Flame: 1743018 strands]

It can be combined to create 174 strands of immortal flame!
With the implementation of the "four days on, three days off" work system, the number of employees at Pinbei, Orange Technology, and DeepBlue Technology has increased by another 25% to 30%.

The number of employees at Yunsu, Kuaipao, and Orange Mobile's factories is also rapidly expanding.

Today, the Orange mobile phone factory has more than 14 employees, mainly responsible for the production and manufacturing of Orange, Xiaomi, 360, Meitu, LeEco and NetEase mobile phones, as well as some OEM business for Huawei and Apple.

Without much thought, Chen Yansen summoned a wisp of purplish-black mist that burst through the air and instantly entered his brow.

In just a few breaths, his mental strength value increased to 110.80.

The moment his mental energy contracted and expanded, the surrounding insects and birds fled in terror, fearing that if they were even a step too late, they would lose their lives.
