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

Chapter 726 Net Worth Soars by One Trillion in One Day! A Few Millions a Year? Not That Little!
When Orange Technology's market value broke through the 1.6 trillion yuan mark, the entire internet instantly erupted in excitement.

Netizens initially thought that the issue price of 148.8 yuan was already high, and even speculated that it would likely fall below the issue price after the market opened.

But no one expected that the stock price would rise by nearly 10% in just five minutes after the market opened, completely exceeding everyone's expectations.

Luzhou, Senlian Science and Technology Park.

Cheers echoed continuously from the building where Orange Technology was located.

Employees went to the lobby on the first floor in batches according to their departments to receive commemorative gold coins prepared by the company for the listing.

Each gold coin weighs a full 50 grams, feeling heavy in the hand. At that time, the price of gold was 240 yuan per gram.

In other words, everyone can get a gold coin worth more than 10,000 yuan.

Everyone wore an undisguised smile, their eyes brimming with joy, and even their steps seemed lighter.

Li Yunzhu, far away in Shanghai, was standing in front of the repair counter at the Orange Smart Living Pavilion, clutching the commemorative gold coin for the product's launch, grinning foolishly.

He was originally a front-line operator at the Orange Mobile phone factory. Later, after passing the training and assessment of the after-sales department, his labor contract was transferred to Orange Technology.

Now that the company has gone public, he not only received commemorative gold coins, but also 4000 stock options, which, once the lock-up period is over, will be worth 64 yuan in cash.

A person who didn't even finish junior high school amassed a fortune of over a million yuan after working at Orange Technology for only three or four years.

To be honest, he never dared to put in this much effort in the past, not even in his wildest dreams.

at the same time.

Inside a tiny orange direct-sale store, measuring 50 square meters, at a street intersection in Liuhe District, Jinling.

Big Mouth carefully packed the Orange phone the customer had bought into a bag, handed it over with both hands, and politely said, "Thank you for your support of Orange Technology. Welcome to visit us again!"

The customer smiled, nodded, and turned to leave the store.

Once the guests were out of sight, Da Zui hooked his leg back, pulled the high chair behind him to his side, and plopped down in it.

He turned and shouted in the direction of store manager Chen Xin, "Brother Xin, how much has our company's stock price risen to now?"

"173.6 yuan!" Chen Xin glanced at his phone and replied casually.

Upon hearing this, Wang Fu, the after-sales engineer standing nearby, was stunned for a moment, then raised his voice and shouted, "Holy crap! Brother Xin, don't you have 10,000 shares? That's worth 173.6 million!"

"There aren't that many?" Chen Xin chuckled and quickly waved his hand.

He paused and then explained, "These 10,000 shares are to be released over four years. Once the lock-up period is over, I can sell at most 2500 shares, which will amount to a little over 400,000 yuan."

"Brother Xin, what do you mean by 'only'? Big Mouth and I only have 2000 shares each. Sigh, it's heartbreaking."

Wang Fu curled his lip, directly exposing Chen Xin's pretentious attitude.

"Work hard! Knowing Brother Sen's temperament, he'll definitely issue another batch of stocks at the end of the year, at least 500 shares."

Chen Xin said with a grin.

He didn't expect that Chen Yansen would actually give money to his employees. He used to be a store manager at OPPO, and he didn't even get the same basic salary and bonuses as Orange Technology, let alone equity.

Before joining Orange Technology, he struggled to even find a girlfriend. After joining Orange Technology, whenever he went on a blind date, the people would immediately become much warmer when they heard that he was an employee of Senlian Capital.

After all, while the base salary of Senlian Capital employees may not be top-tier, their benefits system is quite comprehensive.

Even the lowest-level employees can earn a stable monthly income of over 10,000 yuan, which is a plus in the dating market.

Moreover, it is well known that Chen Yansen is a boss who loves to give employees stock options.

Although the number is small, it is still an opportunity for ordinary people to change their lives overnight.

In fact, the outside speculation was not wrong. After Orange Technology went public, even the cleaning lady in the company gained tens of thousands more in net worth.

Even grassroots employees like Da Zui and Wang Fu have 2000 shares, which are worth three to four hundred thousand yuan based on the current share price.

Listening to Chen Xin and Wang Fu's conversation, Da Zui couldn't help but smile: "Three or four hundred thousand is not a small amount! It only costs two hundred thousand to build a three-story house in my hometown. After the sales ban is over, I will renovate the old house in my hometown first, and then buy my mother a gold bracelet."

As he spoke, his eyes shone, as if he could already see the smiling faces of his family receiving the gifts.

Wang Fu patted him on the shoulder: "You're quite filial, aren't you? I plan to use this money as a down payment to buy a small two-bedroom apartment in Jinling, so I won't have to rent anymore."

The two chatted back and forth, creating a lively atmosphere in the shop, much like during the Chinese New Year.

That afternoon, Orange Technology closed at HK$175.2, with a market capitalization of HK$17520 trillion, successfully topping the Hong Kong stock market.

At this moment, Tencent's market value has just barely exceeded 1.2 trillion.

……

……

That evening, Orange Technology held a celebration party in the banquet hall of the Ritz-Carlton.

Chen Yansen stayed for only an hour before taking a car to the airport and then transferring to a plane back to Luzhou.

It was exactly midnight when he entered Villa No. 6, Bihu Yunxi.

The huge villa was completely empty; there wasn't even a dog in sight.

Chen Yansen put down his luggage, walked straight to the sofa, and plopped down on it.

He took out his phone, unlocked the screen, and swiped his finger to see that Ye Qiuping, Meng Jie, and Song Yuncheng had all sent him messages.

This time he went to Hong Kong Island without anyone with him.

"Boss, when are you going back to Luzhou? I'll make you some sweet soup." (Image of Master Ye wearing a very thin blue gauze dress)

The older she gets, the more alluring she becomes. Ye Qiuping not only sent her greetings but also attached a high-resolution image.

In the photo, Master Ye's figure is full and curvaceous, and his exposed calves have fair and firm skin, which makes Mr. Chen's head ache.

"Nice dress," Chen Yansen replied.

Then, he opened Song Yuncheng's chat box: "Master, I made you some pork, celery and pork crackling dumplings and put them in the second compartment of the refrigerator for you."

Seeing this, Chen Yansen got up and went into the kitchen, where he indeed saw a neatly stacked layer of dumplings.

The problem is, there's clearly one less drawer.

Just then, Ye Qiuping sent a message: "Boss, am I not pretty?"

"You ate the dumplings from the refrigerator?" Chen Yansen asked.

"Yes, where did you buy it? The wrapping is so-so, but the filling is pretty good, and it even has shrimp in it. Boss, you're back?"

Ye Qiuping replied instantly.

"Just got home," Chen Yansen replied, closing the refrigerator.

He took his phone and went upstairs, casually sending a message to Song Yuncheng.

at the same time.

In the QQ group for "Senior Three Class 8", a group of night owls were still awake.

Someone posted a screenshot of a Hong Kong stock position, and immediately someone jumped out and said: "Brother Lei, where are you making your fortune? Holy crap, the position amount is 728,000, the unrealized profit is 109,500, making 100,000 a day, that's awesome!"

Gu Zhilei is the class monitor of Class 8 in the third year of high school. His father is a large contractor.

With the housing market booming in the past two years, he has made a lot of money through engineering projects, and his family has naturally accumulated a substantial fortune.

Therefore, it's not surprising that Gu Zhilei could afford to invest hundreds of thousands of yuan in stocks.

Seeing someone playing along and helping him show off, Gu Zhilei immediately replied, "Ten thousand is nothing! The real big shot is Brother Sen, whose net worth skyrocketed by a trillion in a single day! Ah, if only I could have gotten on Brother Sen's good side back then." His words, seemingly praising Chen Yansen, actually inadvertently indicated that ten thousand was just a small sum of money to him.

"@Gu Zhilei, did you buy shares in Orange Technology?"

Wang Bin tagged the message.

"Yeah, it's all thanks to Brother Sen who helped me make money! Hehe!"

Gu Zhilei lay in the Chun Shen Business KTV, embracing a curvaceous woman, his large hands roaming freely, pinching her until she frowned.

"I'm so envious! I wonder when Kuaipao will be available on the market."

Wang Bin couldn't help but sigh.

He worked as a field sales manager at Kuaipao for two and a half years, and his income was actually not low.

During peak season, one can earn 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a month, and even in the off-season, one can still earn over 10,000 yuan. In Chun Shen, this would definitely place one among the high-income earners.

Last year, he also bought a three-bedroom apartment in the outer city with cash, and his life was relatively stable.

But he knew in his heart that he was still a long way from getting rich.

Compared to a rich second-generation like Gu Zhilei, there is still a considerable gap between them.

"Binzi, how many shares do you own?" Gu Zhilei asked curiously.

He knew that Wang Bin worked in the group-buying division of Kuaipao.

"Not much. Based on the valuation of the Series D funding round, it's worth at most a few hundred thousand."

Wang Bin seized the opportunity and put on a great show.

In their early twenties, especially men, who doesn't like to show off?
Sure enough, as soon as the message was sent out, someone immediately popped up in the group: "Brother Bin, please refer me! I also want to work at Kuaipao and earn a high salary!"

"Several hundred thousand is not enough? Many houses in Chun Shen area are less than 300,000 yuan, and in the old city, there are even tens of thousands of yuan a set! It's infuriating to hear what you all are saying."

"I heard that Hao is now the COO of OFO bikes, earning millions a year! To be honest, I never saw any potential in Sen when we were in high school."

"Is Zhou Keyuan the one who's feeling the most upset in our group?"

"Hey, you're doing something stupid again, aren't you? Get back right now!"

"@Chen Dongxu, what does it matter to you whether I'm feeling bad or not?"

Zhou Keyuan, who had been spying on the group chat, immediately became furious upon seeing these words.

She understood what the other person meant perfectly!
It was nothing more than an allusion to the fact that he had been "fishing" for Chen Yansen for three years, but in the end he hadn't kept the fish and hadn't caught anything.

What annoyed her the most was that this "fish" quickly rose to prominence and got together with the "tomboy" and "tomboy" in her class.

After graduation, she had to beg and plead with her parents to get a job as a primary school teacher.

Ke Mengjie, on the other hand, interned at the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Bank in Luzhou during her senior year of college.

Later, when Senlian Bank was established, Chen Yansen transferred her there.

I heard that Mengjie is guaranteed a senior management position at a private bank in the future, with an annual salary of several million.

In her high school classmates' group chat, although no one said it, Zhou Keyuan knew in her heart that many people were treating her as a joke.

A short while later, Magan quickly retracted the message.

He wasn't afraid of Zhou Keyuan, but after being privately reminded by someone in the group, he suddenly realized: Chen Yansen was indeed his high school classmate, but he was no longer an ordinary person. He was now the world's richest man with a net worth of trillions, a guest of honor of Meng Yuanzhi, and a business tycoon who could ride in the same Hongqi sedan as Han Jinheng.

Not to mention in China, even in North America and Europe, Chen Yansen can chat and laugh with people from the central government departments of various countries.

How could I dare to make fun of someone of that caliber?

If the other party doesn't mind, that's fine. But if they really get angry, I'm afraid I won't even have a place to stand in Chun Shen.

"Brother Hao only makes a few million a year? Who do you think you are? It's not that little! I don't know if he has a billion, but he definitely has a hundred million."

In the group chat, a classmate who works at an e-commerce company after graduation immediately retorted.

It's important to know that although Wang Zihao was transferred to OFO bike-sharing, it doesn't mean that his Pinduoduo stock options were canceled.

Even without considering the future value of OFO bicycles, the value of Pinbei's equity alone would be no less than 100 million yuan.

One hundred million?

The dozen or so people in the group who were still awake were secretly astonished when they saw this.

They couldn't help but rummage through their high school memories, but no matter how hard they tried, Chen Yansen didn't seem to have anything particularly special about him back then.

Their grades were average, not outstanding.

He also loved to skip classes, either to go to internet cafes or to play pool with friends; he seemed quite ordinary.

Who knew that once they entered university, their lives would take off? Before they even graduated, Chen Yansen became the world's richest man.

If everyone in the class didn't know that Chen Yansen's father ran a small bookstore near the school and that his family was as ordinary as could be, they would have suspected that Chen Yansen was the illegitimate son of some retired bigwig, otherwise how could he have risen to prominence so suddenly?

The atmosphere in the group instantly became somewhat awkward, and no one dared to respond to the "one hundred million" comment.

After all, for ordinary people like them who have only been in the workforce for a few months and mostly earn a few thousand yuan a month, "one hundred million" is an astronomical figure that they dare not even dream of, and they don't even have the courage to joke about it.

Seeing that Ma Gan was ignoring her, Zhou Keyuan silently retracted her message.

I hovered my finger over the apology message on the screen for a long time, but ultimately didn't reply.

She recalled that in high school, Chen Yansen was just an ordinary boy wearing a faded school uniform, helping out at the bookstore near the school gate every day.

Back then, she was the class's arts and culture representative. She was beautiful, had good grades, and was never short of suitors.

Chen Yansen also pursued her, bringing her breakfast every day, but at that time she felt that Chen Yansen was too ordinary and had no future, so she kept him hanging on, neither agreeing nor rejecting him.

Who would have thought that this ordinary boy she looked down on would now become a business tycoon with a net worth of trillions?

But she could only work as an ordinary teacher in an ordinary primary school, living a life from which she could see the end of her life.

……

……

The next day, August 10th.

Tiangong Technology announced that it will hold its autumn new product launch conference at the Luzhou International Conference Center on October 31, which will be broadcast live on Douyin and Kuaishou.

Ten minutes later, Orange Technology's official Weibo account released promotional posters for three products: a smart lock, a power strip, and a smart camera, and set the official launch date for November 10th, which was exactly the day before Singles' Day, a very precise timing.

The poster design is simple and elegant, and the core selling points of each product are clearly presented.

Smart locks feature three unlocking modes: fingerprint, password, and APP, solving the pain point of users forgetting their keys;

Power strips attract attention with features like USB fast charging, overload protection, and attractive design.

Smart cameras offer a more direct approach, with 360-degree panoramic monitoring and high-definition night vision capabilities, immediately capturing users' attention upon their release.

At 10:30 a.m., the National Daily published an update stating that Leggi, the head of the Central Office of Abyssinia, will visit China in a week.

The news prompted the United States, the "beacon of light," to ponder the matter.

They vaguely sensed that this change of power in Abyssinia seemed to have an unusual flavor.
