Chapter 275 150,000 employees? Just starting out! Average of 1.5 million orders per day, industry leader!
Ten minutes later, Lei Yijun gritted his teeth and agreed.
"If it's too difficult for President Lei, it's okay to not cooperate." Chen Yansen joked with a smile.
"It's not a problem. I believe in Orange Technology's R&D capabilities. Purchasing the patent license for the language analysis development platform is definitely worth the money."
Lei Yijun rolled his eyes and answered with a painful look on his face.
Logically speaking, with Xiaomi Technology's financial and technical reserves, and by poaching a group of engineers from Qiandu, Google and Microsoft's laboratories to form its own R&D team, it would be able to develop an intelligent voice system in a year or two.
But in doing so, first of all, we will miss the golden age of the smart voice market, and secondly, the performance of the self-developed voice system is also unknown.
The last and most crucial point is that the algorithm theory in 2012 was not yet mature, and there was a shortage of talent in the fields of speech recognition, natural language processing and speech synthesis.
The reason why Chen Yansen was successful was, firstly, his own ability, and secondly, he "tricked" more than a hundred top programmers in related professions from Europe and the United States.
For example, Zhou Chuangxi, who studied under the father of computer vision design in the country, has extremely high attainments in speech recognition and algorithm modeling; Daniel is a legendary figure in the future AI voice industry, and he is proficient in everything from speech recognition tools to intelligent voice system development.
"As long as President Lei is satisfied." Chen Yansen smiled and said lightly.
Then the two of them finalized the signing date for the authorization contract and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Lei Yijun believes that although the road to self-research is more difficult and the R&D cycle is long, he still secretly decided to first build the framework of an artificial intelligence laboratory and start the development of the intelligent voice system while accumulating algorithm technology in the field of machine learning.
After dealing with Lei Yijun, Chen Yansen stood up and walked out.
"boss!"
"Brother Sen!"
As he passed through the lobby on the first floor, people kept greeting him. The June salary and quarterly bonus had all arrived, and everyone had a satisfied smile on their face.
"Eh? Brother Mori, are you going back to school?"
As soon as I walked out of the door, I ran into Wang Zihao who was about to walk in.
Next to him was a tall, fair-skinned, pure and lovely girl. She was wearing a red round-neck T-shirt and tight jeans. Her thighs were thin and straight.
She was wearing a pair of sandals on her feet, revealing her round and plump toes.
"Yeah, why is she here?" Chen Yansen frowned and asked Wang Ziyan.
"Zi Yan is on summer vacation, and her parents asked her to come to Xucheng to play for a few days." Wang Zihao grinned and told the truth.
"I'll give you a few more days off and take her to Shanghai and Beijing. What's fun in Xucheng?"
Chen Yansen shook his head and said casually.
After saying that, he planned to get in the car and leave. His eyes hardly stayed on Wang Ziyan the whole time.
"Chen Yansen, won't you accompany me?" Wang Ziyan grabbed his arm and pouted unhappily.
"Little brat, I'm very busy." Chen Yansen broke free from his restraints, got into the driver's seat of the Bentley, and drove out of the science and technology park in a flash.
"Brother, Chen Yansen is a piece of shit!" Wang Ziyan cursed in a low voice.
"Brother Sen is indeed very busy, but you treat us as if we were still kids. Come on, I'll take you to pick some cold drinks." Wang Zihao helped explain.
Then he led Wang Ziyan to the tea room of Pinbei Mall.
The room is over 80 square meters in size and is surrounded by freezers filled with ice cream and drinks. Various snacks are also available, and there is even a barista standing in front of the bar.
A hint of surprise flashed across Wang Ziyan's eyes. She planned to eat a few more ice creams and take revenge on Chen Yansen.
"I heard from our dad that you are planning to skip a grade?" Wang Zihao asked.
"Yes, the knowledge points in high school are relatively simple and involve less content. There is really no need to study for three years." Wang Ziyan replied as a matter of course.
Simple, with little content? In an instant, Wang Zihao, a poor student who had worked so hard to get into a second-tier university, was hit hard.
"Have you decided which school you want to apply to?" Wang Zihao gave a dry laugh and changed the subject.
"Shanghai Jiaotong University, or Huazhong University of Science and Technology. I haven't made up my mind yet. Anyway, I won't choose Peking University or Tsinghua University because the climate is dry and it's far from home." Wang Ziyan replied.
This may sound pretentious, but considering that she always ranks first in the grade, it is just the truth.
Hey, they are all born from the same mother, why is there such a big difference in intelligence!
Wang Zihao sighed secretly.
"Brother, didn't you say that Chen Yansen has a girlfriend? Can I meet him?" Wang Ziyan suddenly asked.
Which one do you want to see? Wang Zihao was stunned for a moment.
The other side.
Chen Yansen returned to Room 0418, sat down on the sofa, and called up the system panel. The value of the humanitarian flame in June reached a new high, with 177,049 strands, which could be synthesized into 1,770 strands of divine flame.
After absorbing the personnel of Yunda and Zhongtong, Yunsu Express has a total number of employees of 107,000, with labor costs of 1.18 billion; Orange Mobile Phone Factory has 23,000 employees with labor costs of 220 million; Kuaipao has 11,000 employees with labor costs of 140 million; the rest include Pinbei, AutoNavi Map, Orange Technology, Today Technology, Orange Payment, Kuaidi Taxi, Byte and other companies, with a total of 9,274 employees and labor costs of 230 million.
The total number of employees under Sunlink Capital’s subsidiaries has reached 150,000!
Express delivery, food delivery and online ride-hailing are undoubtedly the industries that provide the most jobs. If it weren't for Kuaipao and Kuaidi Taxi, which have not really entered the stage of rapid development, the number of employees would have to increase by at least 100,000.
"Synthesize! Add some!"
Chen Yansen concentrated his mind and transformed 177,049 strands of humanity into 1,770 strands of God’s flame.
A majestic golden mist appeared out of nowhere again and suddenly penetrated into the center of the eyebrows.
Chen Yansen had long since adapted to the slight changes in the process of adding points. His brain felt like it was soaking in a hot spring, giving him an ultimate sense of comfort.
As the golden mist was absorbed and digested, the black hole visualization above his head became more and more bizarre, as if even the surrounding light was being pulled in.
But after careful observation, he felt that it was just an illusion caused by the sudden increase in mental power.
After just a few breaths, the spirit value increased from 55.64 to 73.34!
The coverage of his spiritual consciousness continued to expand, from more than fifteen meters to more than seventeen meters. Over three hundred square meters nearby, every move of all things was under his control.
Chen Yansen waved his hand and the refrigerator opened automatically. A dozen bottles of drinks were suspended in the air. A rough calculation showed that the upper limit of the weight of the objects he could control was about fourteen kilograms.
This is a significant increase compared to May.
Chen Yansen thought about it, and the drink flew back into the refrigerator. The refrigerator closed tightly with a "click".
Seeing this, he couldn't help but think: "In three months at most, the mental strength will be able to break through 100. I wonder what kind of talent this dog system will give me?"
Telepathy?
Mind control?
Or a spiritual creation?
Chen Yansen narrowed his eyes, with a hint of anticipation.
At this time, Wang Zihao called and asked him if he wanted to have lunch together. Besides him and Wang Ziyan, Mengjie was also there.
"Shuangqing Restaurant? It's not of that quality! Let's go to the Sky Garden and wait for me at the East Gate." Chen Yansen thought about it and agreed directly.
Wang Ziyan is just a little kid. There's no need to hide from her.
Shuangqing Restaurant? The quality is not good enough! Wang Zihao was slightly startled and cursed inwardly: Damn Chen Yansen, he has no humanity when it comes to the opposite sex. When we were having dinner together, you didn’t say that the quality was not good enough.
at the same time.
Yanjing, Qiandu headquarters.
"No money again? How did Cheng Wei do it?" This was the first time that Li Yanhong expressed his surprise at the Didi Taxi project.
From the end of May to the beginning of July, in less than forty days, Cheng Wei burned through the 200 million yuan of funds from the C round of financing.
However, Didi Taxi's operating scope now only covers three cities: Yanjing, Changshan and Tianjin.
The peak daily order volume is only 500,000! If Qiandu continues to expand at this rate, it will have to invest at least several billion yuan.
If Didi Chuxing raises another round of funds, Qiandu will become its largest shareholder.
"Boss, the online car-hailing industry is burning too much money. I heard that Kuaidi Taxi's marketing funds are even more severe. Now it depends on who will collapse first."
Liang Zhixiang, the vice president of Qiandu.com, who was sitting opposite, said with a frown.
Li Yanhong looked distressed and asked, "Where is Cheng Wei's management method? Is he just throwing money at it?"
Liang Zhixiang sighed and remained silent.
The real internet giants' fights are no different from those between elementary school students.
If you don’t spend money and don’t engage in price wars, will users follow you?
The battle between Penguin and 360, the suppression of Dangdang by Yidong, the attack of Suning, Gome and Pinbei against Yidong, and the struggle between Yunsu and 360 Express all show that price war is the most effective business strategy.
Li Yanhong was obviously much slower in taking out the money this time. After thinking for a moment, he called Ma Wenteng.
"Pony, let's sit down and talk." Li Yanhong suggested.
Ma Wenteng pushed his glasses and sneered to himself. He didn’t want to pay any attention to Li Yanhong.
Last time, Liu Zhiping stepped in to try to temporarily suspend the subsidy war between Didi and Kuaidi Dache, but Li Yanhong wanted to "continue the fight"! Only a month has passed, and the other party can't stand it?
Ma Wenteng curled his lips and asked with a smile: "Robin, it's you who wants to fight, and it's you who wants to end it. Penguin doesn't hold many shares in Kuaidi Dache, so I'm not in a hurry."
You are not in a hurry, but I am!
The current equity structure of Didi Dache is: Cheng Wei holds 40.3% and Qiandu holds 40%. For every loss of 10 million, Qiandu has to pay 4 million.
From Cheng Wei’s financial statements, we can see that Didi Dache’s daily subsidy cost has soared to 8 million.
Although Qiandu is rich, he doesn't want to be taken advantage of.
Li Yanhong's face froze after hearing this, but for his own benefit, he still patiently persuaded: "Pony, investment is to make money, and online ride-hailing is an industry with extremely low gross profit margins. Every loss of 10 million will take several months of profit to offset. Continuing to fight will only hurt both sides."
Ma Wenteng listened to the other party's eager tone to make peace, and smiled slightly and said: "I can come forward to communicate with Chen Yansen, but I can't guarantee whether he will agree or not."
Although Chen Yansen's wealth is not as great as his and Li Yanhong's, the other party owns two money printing machines, Pinbei and Orange Technology, and is actually not short of money, so he naturally has the capital to continue fighting.
"OK, Pony, thank you for your hard work." Li Yanhong said.
From a business perspective, Ma Wenteng also hopes that Chen Yansen can sit down and communicate with Cheng Wei. Whether it is mergers and acquisitions or ending vicious competition in local marketing and subsidies, it will be beneficial to everyone.
As Li Yanhong said, investing is to get rich returns, not to fight with others.
Half an hour later, Chen Yansen received a call from Ma Wenteng in the box of the Sky Garden.
"Negotiation? Brother Pony, I think the time is not yet ripe. The operating scope of Didi and Kuaidi Taxi is less than 5% of the national market. If another Didi Chuxing appears in the future, will we have to negotiate again?"
Chen Yansen walked out of the box and rejected Ma Wenteng's suggestion.
At least, wait until Didi and Kuaidi Taxi's operating scope occupies one-third or even one-half of the national market.
There will always be someone who can’t bear it first!
Compared with Li Yanhong, Chen Yansen is not afraid of losing money. Compared with the flame of humanity, this little money is nothing.
Ma Wenteng frowned slightly. He didn't expect that Chen Yansen would choose to refuse, but after a little hesitation, he understood what Chen Yansen meant.
The market is too big, and Didi and Kuaidi have too small a share. Even if the subsidy war can be suspended, the peaceful state can only last for a month at most. By then, one of the two sides will inevitably not be able to hold back and will take the initiative to provoke a war.
“Okay, I got it. Please remember to notify me when Kuaidi Dache starts its Series B financing,” Ma Wenteng replied.
What this means is that Penguin has chosen to support Chen Yansen, and even if Chen Yansen chooses to spend money to grab land, Ma Wenteng is willing to follow suit and invest.
"Thanks, Brother Pony." Chen Yansen responded politely.
Li Yanhong soon received news that Senlian Capital refused to negotiate, and the online car-hailing war had to continue.
Cheng Wei felt extremely complicated after learning about this, but the intense competitive situation left him no time to think too much, so he turned around and devoted himself to formulating a marketing plan.
On July 4, I took a taxi to Anci and Tangcheng.
However, due to insufficient funds, Didi Dache is no longer able to curb the expansion of Kuaidi Dache.
The question now facing Baidu, Hillhouse Capital, Capital Today and Sunet Asia is whether to give up Didi or make additional investments?
For a moment, Li Yanhong was hesitant.
At this time, Zhu Nanli, the head of Legend Capital, took the initiative to find Cheng Wei and proposed the idea of leading the investment in Didi Dache's Series D financing.
This move reduced the pressure on Li Yanhong, Zhang Lei and others, and they all breathed a sigh of relief and were willing to follow suit.
Cheng Wei understood that Didi Dache had survived another crisis, but his shareholding ratio had also shrunk significantly.
At this time, Kuaidi Taxi, relying on the markets in Hangzhou, Jinling, Luzhou, Yanjing and other places, achieved a daily order volume of 1.5 million, and became the leader in the online car-hailing market.
On July 9, Didi Dache announced that it would complete its Series D financing in mid-July, led by Legend Capital, followed by Baidu, Hillhouse Capital, Capital Today and Sunet Asia, with a planned financing of 600 million yuan.
As soon as the news came out, the gray industry studio was ecstatic, and Hui Ge’s Little Cow short-order software sold another six orders on the same day.
That afternoon, Kuaipao launched the "Group Buying" channel on both the PC and APP terminals, officially entering the group buying field.
Meituan, Dianping and Lashou.com were immediately panicked! (End of this chapter)
