Chapter 480: Preemptive listing, early acquisition of funds, valuation of 68 billion US dollars! Fresh blood of Kuaipao!
"I believe all the waiting is worth it. The Yaocheng X2 will be a revolutionary flagship model."
Half an hour later, Chen Yansen responded.
The picture shows a Tiangong A100 chip!
"Tiangong A100? Could it be the processor of Yaocheng X2?"
"Is Orange Technology also developing mobile phone chips?"
"Didn't they launch the Tiangong T100 before? I heard that Xiao Ai and Amazon's Echo smart speakers all use this AI chip."
"Remove the 'rumored'! It seems the Tiangong T100 is just a test run for Tiangong Technology. The A100's performance is definitely on par with the Snapdragon 800. Otherwise, given Chen Yansen's personality, he definitely wouldn't have built it into the Yaocheng X2."
Netizens were discussing this, and it must be said that the last person’s statement made a lot of sense.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Yaocheng is Orange Technology’s high-end series, and each product represents the company’s R&D strength and image.
Would Chen Yansen gamble with an immature product?
Absolutely not!
"Mr. Chen, when will the Yaocheng X2 be released? It won't be until 2014, right?"
"The iPhone 5s goes on sale next Tuesday! Mr. Chen, send Apple back home!"
"I want to buy a new phone, but I'm not willing to give up on the Yaocheng X1. I want to wait for the Yaocheng X2, but I don't know how long I have to wait."
Chen Yansen glanced at the comment section and did not reply again.
He sat on the soft couch beside the pond, picked up a large bucket of fish food, and threw it arrogantly to where the koi gathered.
"Master, everything is ready."
At this time, Song Yuncheng dragged two 26-inch oversized suitcases and walked up to Chen Yansen with a smile and said.
"Let's go."
Chen Yansen put his hands in his pockets, obviously not intending to help Song Yuncheng share the burden.
Song Yuncheng had long been accustomed to it. He pushed the suitcase and followed closely behind like a follower.
Seeing this, Huang Boxiang hurriedly took the suitcase and put it in the trunk, then got into the cab and sped towards Pengcheng Guanyin Airport.
"Are we going to Oslo as our first stop, just like last year?"
Song Yuncheng asked in a low voice.
"Let's go to Reykjavik first. You can see the aurora and whales leaping from the sea." Chen Yansen answered casually.
The Tiangong A100 chip has entered the tape-out stage. Before the new product launch conference, he had nothing important to do in Xucheng, so he took Song Yuncheng on a business trip to Northern Europe.
Although it sounds a bit outrageous, Sunlink Capital does hold a 5% stake in Spotify.
It was purchased for US$140 million last year and is now worth US$290 million, more than doubling its valuation.
It wouldn't hurt to stop by Spotify headquarters.
Therefore, in this trip, business trip accounted for only 1% and sightseeing accounted for 99%.
After a while, Huang Boxiang drove into Guanyin Airport, and then boarded the boss's Gulfstream 550 private jet with Chen Yansen, Song Yuncheng and two security personnel.
I'm getting better now. It's my first time riding in a private plane and my first time traveling abroad.
After getting on the plane, Lao Huang sat obediently in his seat, thinking silently.
at the same time.
The overseas version of Meitu, BeautyPlus, was launched, opening the road to international expansion.
Lenovo surpassed HP and took the top spot in global PC market share for the first time.
Tesla has established an office in Shanghai and opened pre-sales for Model S and Model S LR on its official website.
The low-end version of the former is priced at 739,000 yuan, the high-end version is priced at 859,000 yuan, and the Model S LR is priced at as high as 1.199 million yuan.
What Musk didn't expect was that there were more "leeks" in China than he imagined, with a total of 671 vehicles sold on the day of the launch.
The first batch of people who placed orders to purchase Model S LR included Lei Yijun, He Xiaopeng, Li Xiang and others.
Qiandu took the initiative to admit defeat and successively cancelled the subsidy activities for Qiandu Takeout, group buying and Didi Taxi. This O2O war that lasted for three months left Li Yanhong physically and mentally exhausted.
Although Pei Yi can still hold on, ending the price war will also be beneficial to the development of Kuaipao.
The 6 billion yuan invested by Senlian Capital and Qiandu is not worthless. At least the food delivery, group buying and online car-hailing markets have almost doubled compared to six months ago.
Of course, the hot sales of low-end models such as Qingcheng, 360 and Redmi, the endless supply of Internet phone cards, and the widespread popularity of payment tools such as Orange Pay, WeChat Pay and Alipay have also increased the market capacity to a certain extent.
At the beginning of June, Kuaipao received 10 million daily takeout orders, 4 million group purchase orders, and 1.7 million grocery shopping orders.
Today, the average daily number of takeout orders is 18 million, group purchase orders are 7.3 million, and grocery orders are 5.7 million, totaling 31 million, accounting for 80% of the market share.
Excluding the R&D, operations and investment promotion personnel at the headquarters and local branches, the number of full-time riders alone soared from 90,000 to 170,000, with an astonishingly fast expansion speed.
The number of part-time riders was initially only over 60,000 because registration rights were not liberalized, but now it has exceeded 300,000.
In the competition with Qiandu, the biggest advantage of having a large number of employees is that when the other party's operations and investment promotion personnel meet them offline, they often turn around and run away, for fear of encountering the bad-tempered Kuapao sales manager who will catch them and beat them up.
After all, if a real fight breaks out, the Kuapao people can just stand at the intersection and shout, and dozens of Yunsu couriers, Kuapao riders and Orange store staff will rush over.
Others receive a basic salary, five insurances and one fund, and quarterly bonuses, and we are all colleagues.
Most of Qiandu's delivery riders are outsourced, dispatched or temporary workers. In their eyes, Kuaipao's employees are their "future colleagues."
So, even if they saw Kuaipao’s sales representatives chasing and beating up Qiandu’s business manager, they would just stand aside and watch, cursing under their breath: “Kill these bastards!”
For them, the technical staff at Qiandu headquarters would only keep shortening delivery times and lowering unit prices.
Most of the Qiandu food delivery riders will switch to Kuaipao as soon as they become familiar with the routes and the layout of surrounding supermarkets.
Thousand degrees?
I don’t even want to send a dog!
Some riders work part-time as a driver during the day and work for Qiandu at night. After working for a while, most of them will give up Qiandu.
Because in terms of unit price, order distribution, route planning, order rewards and guarantee system, Qiandu cannot compare with Kuapao.
After seeing Li Yanhong shrinking his defense line, Pei Yi summoned the business general managers of East China, North China, Central China, Northeast China, Southeast China and Southwest China overnight to hold a meeting, formulate policies, and launch a counterattack against Qiandu.
Although Qiandu only holds less than 20% of the market, that is still 7 to 8 million orders a day, so it naturally cannot be missed.
The first batch of recruited university graduates were assigned to branches across the country after a month of training, responsible for takeout, group buying or grocery shopping business.
Li Zijie is one of them.
Kuaipao usually adopts the principle of proximity allocation, either choosing the interview location or the address on the ID card.
The reason is simple: employees are generally familiar with the place where they grew up or the city where they went to college, and they can do business with ease.
For example, if a Jinling employee is assigned to the Northeast market where he is unfamiliar with the area, he will naturally be at a disadvantage.
Li Zijie is from Luzhou and studied in Shanghai. After some consideration, he chose to stay in Shanghai.
"Ajie, I heard that you are from Luzhou?" Xu Xianguo, who was walking in front, suddenly turned his head and asked.
He is the field sales manager of the Pudong Chuansha site. He has been with Kuaipao for two years and is considered an old employee. He is also Li Zijie's business "teacher".
After Li Zijie becomes a regular employee, he will also receive a "teaching bonus" of 2,000 yuan.
This is the “old brings new” model of Kuaipao.
The old employees are very enthusiastic about the newcomers because of the bonuses.
From work to life details, Xu Xianguo would provide careful guidance, fearing that Li Zijie would not be able to adapt to Kuaipao's door-to-door sales work and quit without any warning.
It’s not that he was reluctant to part with Li Zijie, it’s mainly because of the 2,000 yuan commission.
"Yes, Brother Xu." Li Zijie replied.
"Why didn't you choose Luzhou as your workplace? After all, Luzhou was the former headquarters of Kuaipao, and the foundation is solid. As long as we move the original takeout merchants and Qiandu's merchant resources to Kuaipao, we can just sit back and collect commissions."
Xu Xianguo asked curiously.
"I want to get away from home." Li Zijie made up an excuse.
His ex-girlfriend is in Luzhou, and the nature of Yikuaipao's job as a sales manager means that he might run into her on the street one day.
This is why he doesn't want to go back to Luzhou to work.
In addition, Shanghai has a large population and a developed economy, and the income of Kuapao's field sales managers mainly depends on commissions from group purchase transactions. Only by staying in Shanghai can they earn more money.
"Actually, I want to go back to my hometown, but I can't bear to leave the business resources in Shanghai."
Xu Xianguo is in his early thirties. His wife has just given birth to a child. He and his parents are in their hometown of Hangzhou.
If he applied to transfer back to his hometown, the business resources he had accumulated in the past two years would be gone, and he would have to start from scratch when he returned to Hangzhou.
"Brother Xu, why don't you go back to your hometown and transfer all the business resources to me?" Li Zijie smiled and joked.
"Stop daydreaming. If you want to make money, start by sweeping the streets."
Xu Xianguo rolled his eyes at him and led him into a foot massage parlor.
As Kuaipao deepens its roots in the local life service sector, industries such as KTV, bars, hairdressing, massage and foot bath have been included in its business scope, and its sales are not low.
As soon as Xu Xianguo entered the door, he shouted to the bar girl: "Where is Brother Li? Let's talk about business with him."
"Oh, it's Manager Xu! Mr. Li is in a meeting upstairs. Wait a minute, I'll go up and call him." The front desk clerk immediately picked up the intercom: "Mr. Li, Mr. Li, Mr. Xu from Kuaipao is here."
"Brother Xu, I'm testing the clock. Ouch, be gentle."
Mr. Li's voice came from the intercom.
Without waiting for Xu Xianguo to respond, he said, "Brother Xu, room B88 on the second floor, come up and chat slowly."
What does it mean to test the clock?
Li Zijie had a face full of question marks.
There are thousands of college students like him in Kuaipao. Under the guidance of their masters, they have gradually mastered the industry rules and injected fresh blood into Kuaipao.
Just as Pei Yi and Robin Li were fighting fiercely, Pinbei completed its IPO application on the New York Stock Exchange, Wall Street brokerages were busy preparing for roadshows, and Huang Zheng appeared on the streets of the Lighthouse Country as the CEO of Pinbei.
To everyone's surprise, Pinbei actually got ahead of Ali and Yidong and officially entered the countdown to listing.
At this time, brokerage firms in North America gave Pinbei a valuation of US$68 billion, with a tentative issue price of US$30.6 per share.
As for whether investors will approve, it depends on the packaging level of institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley.
Ma Liyun learned the news through the investor channel, and his brows instantly furrowed. He knew very well what Chen Yansen was up to.
It is nothing more than wanting to be the first to go public and grab investment chips in the overseas e-commerce market in advance.
Thinking of this, Ma Liyun could no longer sit still. He could ignore Liu Qiangdong, but he could not underestimate Chen Yansen, so he called Cai Xin.
