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

Chapter 728 Advanced technologies must be showcased, otherwise wouldn't all the research have been in vain?
"The security work at Orange Kindergarten is handled by staff from Fengjun Security Company. Most of them have received complete military and physical training, and 60% of them are veterans."

Bi Chenxi raised her right hand and pointed to the two staff members in the security room as she introduced them.

After hearing this, Ye Qingshu finally realized what was going on.

No wonder he felt something was off; the security guard was too young.

When she and her husband were choosing a kindergarten for their daughter, they looked at many in Luzhou and found that most of the security personnel at those kindergartens were elderly men in their fifties or sixties.

Whether these things will come in handy in any real situation is anyone's guess.

Ye Qingshu followed the group of parents into Orange Kindergarten, her gaze unconsciously sweeping across the campus.

Unlike other kindergartens with their colorful cartoon graffiti walls, the exterior walls here are a light off-white, paired with light green window frames, making it look clean and comfortable.

Many low-lying green plants are planted on both sides of the road, and each plant has a small sign next to it with the plant's name and growth habits, obviously to help children learn about nature.

"The kindergarten's campus design was done by a professional children's space designer. All facilities have rounded corners, and the floor is made of non-slip material to ensure the safety of children while playing."

Bi Chenxi walked at the front of the group, explaining as she went: "Moreover, we conduct a comprehensive disinfection of the park twice a day, including toys, tableware, and activity areas, so parents can rest assured."

The parents nodded in agreement, their faces beaming with satisfaction.

Compared to the kindergartens they attended as children, Orange Kindergarten is significantly better, by more than ten levels.

In the classroom, more than twenty children were sitting around on the carpet, singing nursery rhymes with their teacher.

Ye Qingshu quickly found her daughter. The little girl was sitting in the middle of the carpet, holding a small tambourine in her hand, swaying to the rhythm of the music, her face full of smiles.

She noticed that the teaching aids in the classroom were neatly arranged, including building blocks of various shapes, puzzles and picture books, as well as a special science exploration corner with magnifying glasses, thermometers and various animal and plant specimens.

After visiting the classrooms, the parents followed Bi Chenxi to the kitchen, where all the staff were wearing uniforms, hats, and masks.

The monitor on the wall displays real-time footage of the kitchen, showing every step clearly from washing and preparing ingredients to cooking.

Bi Chenxi pointed to a meat grinder that had just been used: "For automated kitchen equipment like this, we have clear hygiene standards. It must be thoroughly cleaned after use to prevent the growth of bacteria."

"Principal, may I open it and take a look?"

One parent asked.

“Of course,” Bi Chenxi replied with a smile, then called out, “Master Wang, could you please turn on the meat grinder so the parents can take a look?”

Soon, a middle-aged man wearing a white uniform and a chef's hat walked over, carrying special tools in his hand.

Following the operating procedure, disassemble the meat grinder's outer casing, blades, and feed inlet step by step.

He would carefully show each part to the parents as he disassembled it: "Look, there's not a single bit of meat residue on these parts. We wash them three times with food-grade detergent after each use, and then sterilize them in a high-temperature sterilizer for fifteen minutes to ensure there are no bacteria residues."

The parent who made the request took a closer look and gently touched the blade and the inner wall of the feed inlet with their finger. Sure enough, they were clean, without a trace of oil or meat scraps.

He couldn't help but show a look of surprise: "It is indeed very clean. Even our own meat grinder at home isn't cleaned this thoroughly."

The remaining parents quickly gathered around to check, and some even took out their phones to take pictures.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qingshu's trust in Orange Kindergarten increased even more.

After Bi Chenxi and the other parents finished looking at it, they said to Master Wang, "Master Wang, could you please put it back together?"

Master Wang responded and skillfully reassembled the meat grinder parts, his movements swift and precise.

It's obvious that this meat grinder is cleaned every day; otherwise, it wouldn't have developed such a skilled loading and unloading speed.

Ye Qingshu pondered to herself.

After Bi Chenxi led everyone on a tour of the park, the parents followed her into the canteen to have lunch with their children.

Of course, this meal is chargeable.

20 yuan per person!
To be honest, it's a bit pricey.

It's worth noting that in Luzhou in 2014, a boxed lunch only cost 10 or 15 yuan, and a 20-yuan meal allowance was more than enough to eat very well.

But the moment Ye Qingshu sat down and opened the lunchbox, she realized that the 20 yuan was definitely worth more than its price.

The dish includes braised beef ribs with white radish, scrambled eggs with shrimp (without water-retaining agents), a plate of crisp bok choy, and stir-fried chicken with corn.

The drink was a 250ml carton of Sebena milk, accompanied by a fruit platter containing blueberries, grapes, and cherries.

Although Ye Qingshu is a product manager, she is familiar with various products and prices.

She could tell at a glance that these ingredients were not cheap. The kindergarten charged 20 yuan; let alone making a profit, they would be lucky to break even.

In fact, families in Luzhou who can afford to send their children to Orange Kindergarten are already considered to be in good financial condition.

A monthly tuition fee of 2000 yuan is difficult for most people to afford.

"The kitchen, dining area, classrooms, and outdoor activity area of ​​Orange Kindergarten are all equipped with high-definition cameras. Parents can view the live footage in the Yunzhou communication group at any time. We welcome everyone's supervision, which will help us further improve the quality of education," Bi Chenxi said frankly.

After saying that, she led the faculty and staff out of the dining area.

"Orange Kindergarten is a bit pricey, but the service is impeccable."

"Expensive? Compared to other private kindergartens, Orange Kindergarten is considered cheap. For the same teaching quality, environment, service and food quality, you can't get it for less than 5000 yuan a month."

"Look at this corn and chicken stir-fry, it's made with chicken thigh meat, not chicken breast."

After Bi Chenxi left, the parents started discussing among themselves.

"I just squatted down and touched the kitchen floor. Apart from some water stains, there wasn't a speck of dirt. It's even cleaner than my kitchen!" one parent exclaimed.

Another parent chimed in, "That's right! I saw a video on Douyin last time where some kindergartens had meat grinders infested with maggots and no one had cleaned them up. They can't compare to Orange Kindergarten at all!"

Someone nearby quickly interrupted, "Hey, Lele's mom, don't say that here! The children are eating!"

The parent quickly apologized: "Haha, yes, yes, I wasn't paying attention, I'm so sorry!"

As of the end of October, Orange Education had opened 67 kindergartens in East China, and the number continues to increase.

Chen Yansen's foray into the education industry wasn't about changing anything; he simply wanted to hire more people and earn more humanitarian benefits.

However, compared with other kindergartens in the same industry, Orange Kindergarten, with fewer than 100 kindergartens, became an industry benchmark in less than two months.

Parents can use the live streaming function of the Yunzhou chat group to check on their child's situation at kindergarten at any time.

Not long ago, an incident occurred at an Orange Kindergarten in Nanjing. A parent went to the school and caused a disturbance, claiming that the teacher had hit the child, causing the child to have a bruise on his forehead.

However, after reviewing the surveillance footage, it was discovered that the child had injured himself by falling, and the parents were clearly trying to extort money.

The company's legal department acted immediately and sued the parent on charges of false accusation.

The lawsuit against the false accusation ended with the parents issuing a public apology and compensating the kindergarten for reputational damage. After the news spread, some people felt that Orange Kindergarten was taking things too seriously and making a big fuss over a small misunderstanding.

But the wrongly accused teacher immediately stood up to clarify: "If I really hit the child, I would first be fired, then the company would sue me, and finally Senlian Capital would blacklist me, so I would never be able to work for any of the group's subsidiaries in my life."

Netizens then realized that Orange Education had such strict requirements for its teachers.

After this incident, enrollment at Orange Kindergarten in the Jinling area was not affected; on the contrary, parents' enthusiasm for enrolling their children increased even more.

……

……

The next morning, Chen Yansen dressed neatly, walked through the lush courtyard, and went straight to sit in the back seat of the Hongqi L5 car.

"Old Huang, let's go!"

Chen Yansen waved his hand and gave instructions to Huang Boxiang.

"Yes, boss," Old Huang replied quickly.

Immediately afterwards, a Hongqi L5 with license plates from Beijing, Hong Kong Island, and Macau sped along the elevated road toward the Luzhou International Conference Center.

It has been about a year since Tiangong Technology's last press conference.

Everyone wants to know: in the past year, StarSource Technology has created the Dawn A220 lithography machine, but what about Tiangong Technology?
Six months ago, Tiangong Technology poached Daniel, the director of mobile storage chip architecture, Lu Mingyan, the R&D director of Shanxing Semiconductor, Li Daoming, a genius from Luzhou University of Science and Technology, Tan Linlu, a top student from Cambridge University, and more than a dozen high-achieving students from the Qingyun Program from Micron.

Such a high-caliber R&D team can't possibly have no notable research achievements after only six months of employment, can they?

Therefore, this press conference attracted a great deal of attention within the industry.

Many overseas peers and competitors came uninvited, all wanting to see what products Tiangong Technology would launch.

Chen Yansen did not refuse after learning about it.

If the technology is outdated, it is indeed inconvenient to showcase it to the outside world, lest the shortcomings be exposed.

After a year of quiet development, Tiangong Technology has indeed developed a more advanced product. Why is it keeping it a secret?

It's important to understand that overseas media coverage can generate buzz for technology, further increasing market interest in the product and attracting more potential customers.

After all, only when a product is successfully sold can it be converted into substantial economic benefits, and that is the ultimate value of research and development.

Half an hour later, a Hongqi L5 slowly drove into view and came to a steady stop in front of the main entrance of the Luzhou International Conference Center.

As soon as the car door opened and Chen Yansen stepped out, reporters swarmed around him, surrounding him in a dense crowd. The sounds of camera shutters and questions instantly mingled together.

Fortunately, the security personnel who arrived in advance reacted quickly and immediately formed a human wall, firmly blocking the reporters who rushed forward and leaving a passage for Chen Yansen.
