Chapter 734 "Destroying Chen Yansen's Plan"? Annual production capacity of 12 million pairs! First, draw 10,000 pigs!

The following morning, Huawei announced that the Honor 6 had sold 5 million units in three months after its launch, becoming the group's best-selling model.

Compared to Huawei models released in the first half of the year, the Honor 6 only made one key adjustment: it replaced the Android system with the Aurora Future operating system.

In other words, in direct competition, the popularity of Aurora Future System in the Chinese market clearly surpasses that of Android.

Today, 7 out of every 10 smartphones sold are equipped with the Aurora Future OS.

The market share of domestically produced mobile operating systems is continuously rising!

At 10:00 AM, Apple CEO Tim Cook, after publicly coming out as gay, announced his plans to visit China next week and open an Apple research and development center there.

Immediately following, the Meizu MX4 Pro was released.

This new phone features fingerprint recognition, a 2K screen, a Tiangong A100 chip, and a second-generation deep blue battery. The standard version is priced at only 2,499 yuan, making it a major flagship model launched by Huang Zhang in the fall.

Meanwhile, the premiere date for the first season of "Running Man" was announced on its official Weibo and Douyin accounts.

At 2 PM, Lin Guolun called to share the news: Orange Garment's shoe factory in Jimo, after nearly half a year of preparation, is finally ready to officially start production.

At the end of his report, he casually asked, "Boss, the opening ceremony is on Wednesday. Would you like to come?"

At the time, Chen Yansen was lying on the sofa in his office, practicing Master Ye's riding skills. After a moment's thought, he agreed.

When he arrived at Luzhou Xinqiao Airport, Wang Guan from Orange Agricultural Technology called: "Our first batch of 800,000 pigs is ready for slaughter, you see?"

"You don't mean to make me attend some kind of pig slaughtering ceremony, do you?"

Chen Yansen sat in the soft leather cabin and asked in return with a smile.

"Boss, no, I just wanted to say hello to you."

Wang Guan did have this idea, but his boss directly exposed it, and he didn't dare to admit it, so he could only quickly deny it.

After all, the boss has both popularity and traffic, and he can help "promote" products without spending any money. Of course, we should seize this opportunity to "get something for free".

"First, contact Pei Yi, Wang Zhe, Byron, and Huang Zheng, and ask them to help you coordinate your online and offline sales networks and come up with a marketing plan. Send it to my email as soon as possible."

Wang Guan's little scheme naturally couldn't be hidden from Chen Yansen, so he simply laid it all out on the table.

"Okay! Thank you, boss!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Guan immediately grinned and thanked him repeatedly.

Compared to companies like Tiangong, Xingyuan, and Yunkun Aerospace, Orange Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Technology's pig farming division is clearly several levels below.

He made the call for two reasons: first, to remind his boss about the pigs being ready for market; and second, to try and secure some resources.

As the old saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

He has a thousand employees waiting for bonuses. Only by selling the pigs can they earn money and prove their worth to the boss.

Before hanging up the phone, Chen Yansen asked Wang Guan to send a set of promotional photos of live pigs.

Ten minutes later, Chen Yansen edited a post and sent it out directly: "Double Eleven is coming soon. It's been a while since I've done a giveaway. Today we're giving away 10,000 live pigs. The slaughtered pork carcasses weigh between 85 and 90 kilograms and will be delivered to your door by Yunsu Cold Chain."

Those who follow Chen Yansen received a push notification from the website immediately and carefully studied the lottery rules.

The rules are simple and straightforward: just click on the activity links on Toutiao, Douyin, or Kuaishou to get a lottery code.

Additionally, inviting a friend to participate will grant you an extra lottery code, but each person can only have a maximum of 30 lottery codes.

Completely random, entirely based on luck.

At this time, pork was priced at 14 to 16 yuan per jin (0.5 kg), and the value of a live pig was approximately 2,500 to 3,000 yuan.

Based on this calculation, the total value of Chen Yansen's lottery event exceeds 20 million yuan.

"As expected of Brother Sen! He spends tens of millions in one go!"

"Peppa Pig is so cute, how could you eat Peppa Pig?!"

"Brother Sen, what do we do if our refrigerator isn't big enough to hold everything?"

"Don't think too much about it yet, let's see if we get selected first!"

Netizens crowded into the comments section, discussing the topic one after another.

On the other side.

Chen Yansen and Ye Qiuping flew directly to Qingdao.

Two hours later, Chen Yansen arrived at the pier.

He and Ye Qiuping put on hats and sunglasses, carried a bag of bread, and fed the seagulls while enjoying the sea breeze.

In early November, the sea breeze on Qingdao Island is cold and strong, making one's throat feel tight.

Chen Yansen seemed unaffected, but Ye Qiuping beside him had pale lips and couldn't help but shrink back.

"You're a local from Qingdao, and you don't even know the weather here? Tsk tsk."

Chen Yansen teased the seagulls for a while, then turned and grasped Ye Qiuping's right hand. The touch of his fingertips felt like touching a block of ice.

Ye Qiuping smiled awkwardly, knowing that Boss Chen was bringing up old grievances again.

"Let's go back to the hotel first," Chen Yansen said, seeing her embarrassed expression.

"Boss, we've only been here for about ten minutes."

Ye Qiuping stood still, stubbornly saying, "I'm not cold, my hands are naturally cold."

She didn't want to spoil Chen Yansen's fun.

"Then you can stay here and enjoy the sea breeze for another hour."

After Chen Yansen finished speaking, he turned and left, showing no mercy to her.

"Boss, I've thought about it, and I think it's better to go back to the hotel!"

Ye Qiuping hurriedly caught up with him, and said shamelessly.

Although the sea breeze was cool, her heart was filled with warmth.

Behind the two, a steady stream of tourists continued to arrive, holding bread and fried dough sticks, feeding the seagulls on the beach and in the air.

As the waves gently surged, more and more bread floated on the surface, layer upon layer, like a "sea" covered with bread.

As the sun sets, the clouds reflected on the sea, casting an orange-red glow.

Chen Yansen got into the car, closed the door behind him, and turned to the driver, saying, "Let's go back to the hotel first."

Ye Qiuping mustered her courage and grasped President Chen's right hand, immediately feeling its warmth, like a furnace.

"Boss, your hands are so hot," Ye Qiuping said softly in a low voice.

“Other parts of my body are also very hot,” Chen Yansen said seriously.

Master Ye understood instantly, and a blush crept onto his earlobe.

...

...

The next morning, Li Qingsong made a special trip to receive Laigeji in Yanjing.

After discussions, both sides reached a consensus: China pledged to provide Abyssinia with a $1 billion interest-free loan, 100 million doses of vaccines, and 10 medical and health projects covering 1,500 medical personnel and public health experts.

Correspondingly, Legggi also made concessions on land policies, tax incentives, and mineral resource development.

In the eyes of Chinese netizens, Abyssinia, a poor country whose exact location is unknown, is once again trying to "money out of its own pocket".

What they didn't know was that Leggeji had already assured them that he would provide the best business environment and security for Chinese companies.

Although Li Qingsong was not entirely convinced, he felt that compared to his predecessor, Leggi was more inclined to take an open development approach rather than just wanting to be a wealthy East African landowner or an armed leader who guarded his territory.

Subsequently, accompanied by staff from the Business Association, Leggi visited companies including Xiaomi, 360, Shougang Group, and China National Petroleum Corporation.

His approach to cooperation was clear: he welcomed Chinese companies to invest in Abyssinia, noting that while local funds were limited, the country possessed abundant mineral resources, and profits could be shared through joint ventures.

If Chinese companies are willing to participate in road construction in Abyssinia, they can also receive a share of the road maintenance fees included in the fuel price.

In short, as long as you're willing to come, I'll treat you like royalty.

This scene left several senior executives of Shougang Group momentarily stunned.

Thirty years ago, in order to attract foreign investment, the attitude of local central government departments towards foreign businesses was roughly the same.

at the same time.

Hundreds of domestic journalists gathered next to the Orange Garment Factory. They had come because they had received news that Chen Yansen was going to Jimo to attend the opening ceremony of Orange Shoes Co., Ltd.

Several reporters from Qingdao TV leaned against the wall, glancing at the intersection from time to time.

"Brother Zhou, this news can't be fake, right?"

A colleague leaned over and whispered something.

"Chen Yansen will definitely come!"

Zhou Junhao responded with certainty.

"Why?" My colleague asked, puzzled. "It's almost 9:30, and we haven't seen a trace of him yet."

"The reason is simple! I know Lin Guolun's assistant. I met him once at the Qingdao Fashion Fair earlier this year. Now he runs out every two minutes, not going back to his office, but staying in the security room. What do you think he's doing?"

Zhou Junhao smiled and asked in return.

He's been a journalist for over a decade; if he didn't even have this much insight, what kind of journalist would he be?

After thinking for a moment, his colleague immediately realized what he meant and quickly gave him a thumbs up: "Brother Zhou, you're amazing!"

Zhou Junhao shook his head and sighed, "If we're talking about being amazing, Chen Yansen is the most amazing. With his wealth, he doesn't need to get involved in such hard and unprofitable industries as clothing and shoe manufacturing. But he still invested money to build factories, which support more than 8,000 people in Qingdao alone."

Based on his years of professional sensitivity and intuition, he knew very well that Chen Yansen had absolutely no need to run a clothing factory or shoe factory business.

With this little business volume, you won't make much money throughout the year.

But they did it anyway, paying low-level assembly line workers a monthly salary of seven or eight thousand yuan, and never neglecting social insurance, housing fund, and medical insurance.

Local garment and shoe factory owners dared not speak out, unable to win a fight or a verbal argument.

In the eyes of the bigwigs at the central level, Senlian Capital is clearly more valuable.

"Brother Zhou, my aunt lives in Jimo. Several of the nimble-fingered women from her village have been recruited to work at this factory, in positions such as quality inspection, boxing, and packing."

Did you know? Orange Shoes even has stools on their assembly line!

A colleague added.

stool?

Zhou Junhao paused for a moment, then understood his colleague's unspoken meaning after a couple of seconds of contemplation.

This isn't just about a stool; it's about Orange Shoes' attention to detail in treating people like human beings.

You should know that some small factories don't even provide stools, and employees have to be limited to five minutes when they go to the toilet. If they exceed the limit by even one minute, their names will be recorded and their wages deducted.

"How do the salaries and benefits at Orange Shoes compare to those at Orange Garments?"

Zhou Junhao pressed for an answer.

"The base salary is 3,300 yuan, and the overtime pay is the same as that of Orange Garment, but the overall income is a bit less than last year. After all, Chen Yansen requires that when scheduling shifts, every front-line operator must be guaranteed a two-day weekend."

My colleague explained slowly.

Zhou Junhao scoffed, "Damn! Seriously, the benefits at Orange Garment Factory and Shoe Factory are really good. In some parts of Shandong, civil servants, apart from having higher housing provident fund contributions, actually earn less than these workers."

Just as my colleague was about to reply, he caught a glimpse of a Mercedes-Benz van approaching from the intersection a kilometer away.

A black Maybach was in the middle, followed by another Mercedes-Benz van; the three vehicles lined up and headed this way.

Chen Yansen has arrived!

In an instant, reporters from dozens of media outlets, including Qingdao News Network, Qingdao Online, Huxiu, The Paper, and Sohu, were all jolted awake and immediately got to work.

Lin Guolun was sitting in his office planning the production schedule for the next month when his phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up, glanced at it, immediately stood up, and led the company's senior executives out of the administration building.

Looking into the distance, on the asphalt road several hundred meters away, three cars were lined up and were driving at a steady speed toward the factory.

When he reached the factory gate, the convoy was still more than 200 meters away.

The reporters were about to approach when they were stopped by the factory's security personnel.

Chen Yansen glanced out the car window and saw a large crowd gathered at the factory gate, including hundreds of media reporters.

"Boss, I won't get off the bus."

Ye Qiuping was very sensible and was afraid of being photographed by reporters and causing trouble for Chen Yansen.

"Okay, Xiao Li, drive the car into the factory in a bit."

After giving a brief explanation, Chen Yansen walked out.

"Mr. Chen, welcome to Qingdao! May I ask why you chose to enter the garment and footwear manufacturing industry?"

"Mr. Chen, after Orange Shoes' products are launched in the future, will they still use 'Orange' as the brand name?"

"Mr. Chen, what do you think are Orange Shoes' core competitive advantages compared to its competitors?"

As soon as Chen Yansen got out of the car, microphones sprang up in front of him like mushrooms after rain, and camera shutters clicked incessantly, with flashes popping everywhere.

When asked by reporters, Chen Yansen smiled and responded calmly: "First of all, Orange Shoes' core business is to provide various comfortable work shoes and boots for the 1.137 million employees under Senlian Capital; secondly, only excess production capacity will be sold to external parties."

The implication is clear: Orange Shoes and Orange Garment are similar, both being semi-open factories that primarily rely on internal supply.

But the reporters didn't believe it at all!

Chen Yansen said the same thing when Orange Garment was founded.

Although Orange Garment doesn't have any offline stores, its online sales are booming. Basic items like short-sleeved shirts, base layers, shirts, and jeans sold a staggering million pieces during the 618 shopping festival in the first half of the year.

Rumors are circulating in the industry that Orange Garment's total revenue for 2014 is expected to exceed 5 billion yuan.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Junhao began to have doubts: Senlian Capital's recruitment speed is too fast, isn't it? Just two months ago, their total number of employees worldwide had just exceeded 1 million, and in such a short time, they have gained more than 100,000?

"Boss!" Lin Guolun stepped forward and greeted him.

"Old Lin, you've worked hard! Well done!"

Chen Yansen patted Lin Guolun on the shoulder and praised him.

He originally had no expectations for Orange Garment, but unexpectedly, under Lin Guolun's leadership, it achieved sales of 4 billion yuan in just 10 months.

November and December are the peak season for the e-commerce industry. Based on this trend, it's almost a certainty that Orange Garment's annual revenue will exceed 5 billion yuan.

"Boss, actually I didn't do much. The core is still relying on the traffic resources of Pinduoduo and JD.com."

Lin Guolun subconsciously made a humble remark.

"Then you won't get your fourth-quarter bonus."

Chen Yansen said with a stern face.

Lin Guolun was slightly taken aback. Before he could react, Chen Yansen added with a smile, "It's good to be capable! Don't worry, under my supervision, don't be afraid of making mistakes. As long as the final result is good, I will always back you up."

"Thank you, boss, I understand!"

Lin Guolun nodded in agreement and then led Chen Yansen into the factory area.

The reporters tried to follow them inside, but were politely ushered into the activity area where the production launch ceremony was being held by security personnel.

As Lin Guolun walked, he explained, "This factory used to be a garment factory, doing OEM for Semir. In the past two years, fast fashion brands have had a hard time. Last year, Semir reorganized its OEM supply chain, and this factory went bankrupt. I took the opportunity to buy it."

It covers a total area of ​​approximately 36,000 square meters, with a building area of ​​55,000 square meters. The building in front is the main production workshop. The first floor houses the raw material warehouse, storage area, and cutting workshop; the second floor contains the sewing workshop and the pre-processing stages of the forming line, such as lamination and shaping; the third floor includes the forming workshop, the final packaging area, and office space.

He paused, then pointed to a small building next to him and added, "This used to be the factory's supermarket, but I converted it into the design department's office building."

"If the production line is fully operational, what is the annual production capacity?" Chen Yansen asked.

Lin Guolun thought for a moment and replied, "It depends on the quality of the product manufacturing process. If the production efficiency, the skill level of the process, and the staffing are all up to par, and the order volume is sufficient, it can produce 12 million pairs of shoes a year, and the corresponding industrial value is about 1.6 to 2 billion yuan."

In the blink of an eye, the group entered the production workshop. The machines were running smoothly and quietly. The workers on the assembly line were sitting on blue stools, skillfully operating the processes. Each person's workbench was neatly tidy.

"Boss, this production line is dedicated to producing athletic shoes. From cutting to molding, the automation rate can reach 60%. The remaining delicate work requires manual control."

Lin Guolun pointed to a running production line and explained.

Chen Yansen nodded, looked around, and found that young people aged 20 to 30 made up about 30% of the workshop; middle-aged people over 30 years old accounted for the largest proportion; there were also employees over 50 years old, but there were only a handful of them on the entire production line.

To his surprise, the fastest to get things done were not the young people, but the older ones.

He thought about it for a moment and quickly understood the reason.

After the tour, it was exactly 10:30.

Lin Guolun accompanied Chen Yansen back to the factory's activity area and sat down.

Meanwhile, on a highway not far from the factory, the head of the Qingdao Central Office was leading a group of people on their way.

At the same time.

After concluding his visit to Yanjing, Leggeji immediately flew to Luzhou.

He claimed to be visiting the headquarters of Senlian Capital, but in reality, he wanted to report to Chen Yansen in person.

On the other side of the ocean in the United States, a group of upstream semiconductor raw material and equipment suppliers are caught in a dilemma.

They weighed their options repeatedly, wondering whether or not to jointly build the factory with Senlian Capital.

If we refuse, we will not only lose a large order, but also create a formidable enemy in Senlian Capital out of thin air.

But if they don't refuse, they'll have to hand over half of their profits from their business in China to Chen Yansen for nothing.

What troubled them even more was that they had no way to deal with Senlian Capital.

The other party was like a hedgehog covered in thorns, leaving them nowhere to attack.

At the Anguo Association headquarters, a group of high-ranking officials were also gathered there, analyzing Chen Yansen's business career and various details one by one.

“I think we can use the means of winning him over. This person is very different from the Chinese businessmen of the past. Senlian Capital’s branches in North America, Europe and South America have always strictly abided by local laws and regulations. They not only employ Chinese people, but also provide a lot of job opportunities for locals.”

Someone took the lead in proposing it.

His subtext was that Chen Yansen is a businessman who actively integrates into the global industrial chain, and he doesn't show any obvious bias; he seems more like a pure businessman.

"I disagree! This Chinese man is too clever! He has no roots in China, yet he built a multinational conglomerate worth trillions in just over four years. This is simply illogical! I think he should be put on the surveillance list, and if necessary, we should launch a plan to destroy him!"

Another senior member of the Anguo Association immediately objected.

"What are you thinking?" someone immediately retorted, "Let the Anguo Association assassinate the world's richest man for no reason? If the news leaks, you will all have to step down!"

The air seemed to freeze in the conference room of the Anguo Association.

The high-ranking official who opposed the assassination proposal slammed the documents in his hand on the table, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, and coldly questioned, "Destroy the plan? Have you considered the consequences?"

The high-ranking official who proposed launching the destruction plan looked grave, yet remained undeterred: "But the semiconductor technology he possesses has already threatened the core industrial interests of the United States!"

"Therefore, we must not use extreme measures."

The chairman, seated at the head of the table, finally spoke. He paused briefly before continuing, "Prioritize winning them over, and use monitoring as a secondary measure! First, send representatives to China to negotiate with Senlian Capital, attempting to exchange market access conditions for technological cooperation."

If he refuses, then consider restricting Senlian Capital's business expansion in the North American market, applying pressure step by step, rather than taking rash action.

His words temporarily calmed the argument, and everyone began to discuss the "appeasement plan".
