Chapter 240 Daily orders of 400,000, with a valuation of 1 billion US dollars! (Seeking monthly tickets)
"Mr. Chen, I'm Xiao Naibing, a student majoring in Internet of Things Engineering. Here's my resume. Please accept it."
Xiao Naibing shamelessly handed over his resume with both hands.
Chen Yansen laughed dumbly and did not reach out to take it. Instead, he looked the other person up and down and asked, "There is a spring recruitment venue over there. If everyone is like you, what is the point of me recruiting HR?"
Xiao Naibing is a senior this year and is about to graduate. After all, he is just a young man in his early twenties. His face turned pale and blue when he was asked questions by Chen Yansen. It is obvious that his mental strength is not strong enough.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I'm disturbing you because there is no position that matches my major."
Xiao Naibing's face turned red, he scratched his head and told the truth.
"CV."
Chen Yansen said in a cold voice.
An expression of ecstasy suddenly appeared on Xiao Naibing's face, and he hurriedly handed over his resume again.
Although he is a senior and Chen Yansen is only a sophomore, he does not dare to consider himself a senior.
Chen Yansen flipped through the pages and said, "There's a job for an IoT development engineer in Shenzhen. The starting salary is 6,000 yuan, which isn't high, but it includes food and accommodation."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I can accept it." Xiao Naibing agreed readily.
After all, everyone knows that the subsidiary of Senlian Capital has a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan, but the actual pre-tax income can reach 8,000 yuan.
"Go back and wait for the offer! This won't happen again. Do you understand me?"
Chen Yansen handed the resume back to him and reminded him with a smile.
Xiao Naibing followed Chen Yansen's line of sight and turned around to see a group of classmates looking at him from afar. He immediately understood what he meant and pretended to be rejected and lost, then walked towards the dormitory sighing.
"Young brains are more useful."
Chen Yansen commented secretly.
Then, continue walking towards the teachers' apartment.
Half an hour later, he went downstairs, got in the car, and drove to the Science and Technology Park.
Including the autumn and spring recruitments, he plans to recruit 500 graduates in Xuyuan. It seems like a large number, but after being assigned to various projects and departments, not even a splash can be made.
70% of the positions are operations specialists, design assistants and business interns.
Despite this, Tang Qingshan was already extremely satisfied and had informed him in advance, insisting that he speak as an outstanding alumnus at the autumn welcome meeting next semester.
What a brilliant alumnus! Chen Yansen had no interest in this kind of thing that didn’t bring him any benefit, but since Old Tang had invited him for the second time, he could only give him some face.
Ten minutes later, Chen Yansen parked his car in front of Building 9 and took the elevator to the eighth floor.
"Boss, regarding the issues you mentioned last time, I asked the technical department to readjust them according to your wishes."
When Liang Bo saw Chen Yansen coming over, he hurriedly went up to him and took the initiative to report on the research and development progress of Toutiao.
Today Technology currently has only more than 60 R&D engineers, so it is squeezed into the same office building with Orange Technology.
"Lingxi Browser will be online tomorrow." Chen Yansen leaned against his desk and said easily.
"It took about two months. The development speed is just like Zhang Yiming's personality. He pursues efficiency and stability at the same time."
Liang Bo was slightly startled, then said with a smile.
"I believe that Toutiao's product will not be worse than Lingxi. In terms of the strength of the R&D team, Zhang Yiming cannot compare with you."
Chen Yansen said lightly.
This sentence seems to be encouraging Liang Bo, but it is actually true. From February to March, Orange Technology and Pinbei Mall visited more than a dozen universities in the province and recruited more than 300 outstanding graduates from universities such as Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Luzhou University of Technology and Zhoulai University of Technology.
Among these people, there are R&D engineers who are proficient in algorithms, machine learning, and computer vision, as well as leaders in big data development and natural language processing.
Many people worked on projects with their mentors during their junior or senior year or their second or third year of graduate school, accumulating two or three years of practical experience.
Liang Bo's team naturally also received a group of people.
This is also the main reason why the development progress of Toutiao has been advanced to more than half.
"It's all thanks to my boss's support." Liang Bo said with a smile.
"We will try to launch it on April 1. I position Toutiao as a traffic generator that can complement Pinbei, Kuaidi Dache, and Kuapao in terms of traffic and data. Although Toutiao started late, it is the project that I value most."
Chen Yansen first made the request and then painted a big picture.
He said these words to Pei Yi, Cheng Weixing, and Huang Zheng.
Now he said it again to Liang Bo. From his emotional feedback, it was not difficult to see that these words had a good effect.
Coupled with the influence of his mental power, Liang Bo seemed to be energized and wanted to turn around and return to his workstation to work for his boss for a full 24 hours.
"Okay, don't worry, I will control the progress and launch it as soon as possible while ensuring the quality." Liang Bo straightened his back and expressed his opinion immediately.
"Okay, let's get to work."
Chen Yansen patted Liang Bo's shoulder and waved.
Liang Bo nodded and walked towards his workstation in high spirits.
"Tsk tsk, mental power can actually be used like this!"
Chen Yansen smiled faintly.
I returned to the office and sat down on the sofa.
He took out his mobile phone, downloaded the file package sent by Zhang Yiming, and installed the Lingxi Browser one day in advance.
The page is simple, square and has no sense of design.
At the top of the screen is a search box and URL input bar.
There are five Icon entrances in the row below, namely news, novels, beautiful pictures, videos and websites.
Swipe down further and you will see a waterfall of information, which is mainly composed of text and pictures. Most videos are displayed with static covers. Before clicking to play, the user will be reminded again how many MB of traffic the next video will take up and whether to switch to WIFI mode.
There is no way. The price of data traffic in 2012 was still too expensive. Once users think that an app consumes too much data traffic, even if the product is very useful, users will subconsciously reduce the number of times they open it.
Chen Yansen tried the left and right swipe operations and did not feel any smoothness. It is obvious that Zhang Yiming put Orange phone first in mobile application adaptation.
The information content on Lingxi Browser is 100% crawled, and Zhang Yiming only marks the source of the news at the bottom of the content page.
If you don't pay attention, you won't notice it at all.
Chen Yansen clicked on a video with headlights on the cover. After watching it for more than ten seconds, he swiped down out of habit but did not switch to a new video.
Obviously, Lingxi Browser version 1.0 does not have this function yet.
He had no choice but to swipe left to go back and refresh the homepage again.
Now the content style of the video section has completely changed. It's all about big lights or big butts, occasionally mixed with one or two celebrity gossip videos, as if testing Chen Yansen's next interest direction.
Ten minutes later, Chen Yansen put down his phone.
He made a rough estimate and found that Lingxi Browser took only ten seconds to select the video content he liked from the massive amount of content based on his browsing behavior.
To illustrate this information, feature extraction and labeling were performed when the data was entered into the database.
Simply put, if users like to read Category A information, the system will recommend content with Category A labels.
"Zhang Yiming is indeed quite capable. His experience at Kuxun, Fanfou and Jiujiufang has enabled him to accumulate a wealth of technical knowledge in recommendation engines, which enabled him to complete the development of Lingxi Browser in such a short period of time."
Chen Yansen narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but sigh.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yiming was too shrewd in the equity structure and was unwilling to give up his controlling rights.
Even if ByteDance has more than 100,000 employees in the future, he will not be able to share even a ray of humanity.
The product is good, but you have to make way for Toutiao! 8 am the next day.
The promotional poster of Lingxi Browser appears on the homepage of Orange App Store.
Of course, this resource is paid for.
At the same time, Zhang Yiming is also optimizing the promotion plans for 91 Assistant, Wandoujia and App Store, intending to further increase product exposure.
At this time, UC Browser, QQ Browser and Qiandu Browser are in a period of rapid development. The former has accumulated a large number of users, and the latter two have main product traffic of over 100 million.
The only thing Zhang Yiming can rely on is the product itself.
He understood what Chen Yansen meant from the resource allocation he made to Lingxi Browser.
In ByteDance's seed round, Senlian Capital obtained too small a proportion of equity, and Chen Yansen took a completely businesslike attitude.
Resources are also provided, but you have to pay for it! Zhang Yiming sighed. He knew in his heart that Chen Yansen's approach was impeccable.
But he was right not to lose control of the company.
Only talking about interests, not friendship! Cheng Weixing's Kuaidi Taxi received full support from Chen Yansen, and the two started at the same time.
As soon as Lingxi Browser was launched, Kuaidi Taxi’s valuation exceeded 600 million US dollars, with over 5 million users in Hangzhou and Jinling, and an average of 300,000 orders per day.
But Zhang Yiming was not envious at all, he knew that Cheng Weixing had already become the second largest shareholder.
If he were given another chance to choose, Zhang Yiming would still choose to introduce Source Code, Today and Ethereum Capital, thereby weakening the influence of Senlian Capital on ByteDance.
At the end of the day, the 24-hour download volume of Lingxi Browser was only over 80,000.
It seems like a lot, but it was all bought with money.
Once the money stops flowing, the number of new customers will be reduced to zero.
Zhang Yiming can only pin his hopes on the first batch of seed users.
In fact, compared with Cheng Wei, Zhang Yiming's entrepreneurial conditions were not bad. Four venture capital companies gave him money at the beginning.
Cheng Wei didn't even have an investor willing to meet him. He had to pool his 800,000 yuan in startup capital with his old colleagues. He couldn't even afford a R&D team. The first version of Didi Taxi was actually outsourced to others.
The other side.
After integrating Ele.me's rider resources, Kuapao quickly expanded its delivery team to 2,200 people, with the daily delivery volume reaching 240,000 orders.
In addition, there are more than 400 part-time delivery riders.
The takeaway market in Shanghai has become Kuaipao's backyard. As long as the delivery resources can keep up, the city's order volume will continue to soar! Seeing this, Zhu Xiaohu of Sands Venture Capital could no longer hold back and called Chen Yansen again to ask for investment.
Ahri and Penguin have equally strong intentions!
In order to impress Chen Yansen, Liu Zhiping even offered a valuation of 1 billion US dollars! This is not a lot for a food delivery platform with no competitors and a daily order volume of over 400,000! (End of this chapter)
