Chapter 718: 9,917 welfare housing units! Series D financing, valuation of US$38 billion!
On October 18, Pinbei, Yaomao and Yidong simultaneously launched pre-sales activities for the Double Eleven promotion.
On the same day, Amazon officially entered Pinbei, which implicitly acknowledged Pinbei's leading position in the domestic e-commerce field.
On the other hand, the competition between Senlian Capital and Ali has been comprehensively escalated, and the two sides have engaged in fierce competition in many fields such as e-commerce, food delivery, group buying and electronic navigation.
Since September 27, the subsidy war has lasted for many days, with daily marketing investment reaching 100 million yuan and cumulative cash consumption exceeding 2 billion yuan.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Kuapao announced that it had completed its Series D financing two days ago: Senlian Capital led the investment, Penguin Capital and Goldman Sachs followed suit, with a financing amount of US$3.8 billion and a post-investment valuation of US$38 billion.
As a result of this round of financing, Ali's shareholding ratio was diluted by 10%, from 8.5% to 7.6%.
It was obvious that Chen Yansen was ready to kick Ali out.
Seeing this, netizens laughed and joked: "Ma Liyun is also stubborn. He insists on fighting Senlian Capital in the O2O field."
"Even if they don't compete in O2O, they can't avoid competition in the e-commerce field. The contradictions between these two companies are simply irreconcilable."
"But for us consumers, competition brings benefits! I've almost eaten too much free milk tea and burgers in the past 20 days!"
"Brother, drink less! Don't drink too much and develop diabetes. The money you save won't be enough to buy medicine, and that would be a big loss."
Chen Yansen happened to see these comments before boarding the Gulfstream G550.
For him, this takeaway war is not worthless.
The daily order volume in the food delivery industry has almost doubled from just over 40 million to 72 million.
The larger the market capacity, the greater the demand for couriers, and the greater the contribution to the humanitarian flame.
You should know that Kuaipao currently has more than 350,000 full-time riders and as many as 2 million part-time riders, and has the most abundant instant delivery capacity in the industry.
This is also the core reason why Kuaipao flash sales and Kuaipao grocery shopping can be so successful across the country.
In addition to regular takeout orders, Kuapao can also distribute orders for errands, flash sales, and grocery shopping to riders, allowing orders from different businesses to form a "tidal complementarity" on the rider side.
As soon as the grocery orders from the morning rush hour are completed, the lunch takeout is seamlessly connected. The evening supermarket flash sales and night-time medicine express delivery can also fill the gaps in the off-peak hours.
The order density far exceeds Taodiandian!
For Ali to snatch the market from Kuaipao is like snatching food from a tiger's mouth. You can imagine how difficult it is.
In addition, Chen Yansen has communicated with the Chamber of Commerce and the Municipal Supervision Association, and will give Lao Ma a critical blow when the national average daily takeout order volume exceeds 80 million.
Whether it is "choose one of two" or forcing merchants to take the initiative to bear the red envelope subsidies, as long as the other party is accused of malicious competition, Ali will be in big trouble.
At twelve noon, the plane landed smoothly at Luzhou Xinqiao Airport.
Chen Yansen held Song Yuncheng's hand and sat in the back seat of the Hongqi L5 together.
He instructed Huang Boxiang in the cab, "Old Huang, go back to Bihu Yunxi first."
"Okay, boss." Huang Boxiang nodded quickly in agreement.
After the Hongqi car started, Huang Boxiang immediately drove after it, and a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle followed behind his car.
After the Yanjing attack a few days ago, Fengxuan once again strengthened its prevention and control measures for Chen Yansen’s daily travel safety.
In fact, about ten meters behind the convoy, there was a vehicle from the Anguo Association quietly following.
This was a special arrangement made by the higher-ups, for fear that Chen Yansen might have another accident.
Although the outside world does not know it, Li Qingsong and Han Jinheng know very well that most of the technical difficulties of Deep Blue Technology and Star Source Technology were overcome by Chen Yansen, and he must not be allowed to get into trouble.
What's more, if the world's richest man is attacked repeatedly, who would dare to come here to travel or invest?
"Master, the first phase of Orange Garden is ahead."
As the car sped along the Second Ring Road elevated highway, Song Yuncheng suddenly raised his hand, pointed out the window, and spoke softly.
A few hundred meters away, dozens of low-rise buildings stand in an orderly manner.
With Chen Yansen's eyesight, he could clearly see the workers busy leveling the ground, installing water, electricity, doors and windows, obviously rushing to meet the delivery deadline before the end of the year.
"Looks like we can arrange a lottery. There are a total of 10,017 units in this batch. 100 will be reserved as prizes for the annual meeting, and the remaining quotas will be released all at once."
Chen Yansen said immediately.
Phase I and Phase II of Chengzi Jiayuan were 300,000 square meters of residential land that Meng Yuanzhi specially approved in order to allow Xingyuan Technology to settle in Luzhou.
The two communities are separated by only a road, and the straight-line distance from the headquarters of Sunlink Capital is only 4.7 kilometers.
Senlian Capital has a total of about 100,000 employees in Luzhou. Roughly speaking, the winning rate is about 10%.
It’s not high, but it’s not low either.
When Huang Boxiang heard this, he was immediately delighted and full of anticipation.
As a member of Sunlink Capital, he is naturally eligible to draw lots for welfare housing.
The housing price in Baohe District was only more than 5,000 yuan per square meter three years ago, but since the headquarters of Senlian Capital moved here, the price has skyrocketed in the past year. Now the selling price per square meter has reached 9,800 yuan, just one step away from the 10,000 yuan mark.
By this calculation, if you win a welfare housing unit, assuming it is 100 square meters, you can save nearly 400,000 yuan on the purchase price.
Who wouldn’t be happy?
Chen Yansen glanced at Lao Huang and smiled faintly.
"Master, I won't participate in the drawing of lots."
Song Yuncheng pondered for a few seconds, then said seriously.
She bought 15 houses in Luzhou. Even if she lived in each one for one day, she would live in a different one every half a month.
However, she only kept one house for herself and rented out the rest. The monthly rental income was about 30,000 yuan. She didn't have to do anything in a year and could earn 300,000 to 400,000 yuan just by lying down.
"Even if you want to draw, you can't. Directors and those above the director level are not allowed to participate."
Chen Yansen spoke slowly.
Within Senlian Capital, director-level employees have an annual salary of at least 600,000 yuan. Combined with the housing loan services provided by the group, they are fully capable of buying their own homes. There is no need for them to compete with ordinary employees for welfare housing quotas.
After all, this is welfare housing, not reward housing for outstanding employees.
"Will the directors have any objections?"
Song Yuncheng pondered for a moment and asked.
If you win, you can earn more than 300,000!
Who would complain about having too much money?
"If they have any opinions, tell them to come to me directly."
Chen Yansen replied slowly.
Song Yuncheng couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands and smile slightly. She knew in her heart that although Chen Yansen was always pleasant and looked like a mild-tempered boss, the old employees of "Hushitao" knew how cruel he was when he scolded people.
Thinking back to the past, I don’t know how many people in the editorial team, operation team, and investment promotion team were scolded by him in person.
Even the thin-skinned little girl was not spared.
Mr. Chen is a person who treats everyone equally.
He hasn't cursed much in recent years, but that doesn't mean his "skills" have deteriorated.
Who would dare to offend Boss Chen for a welfare house now?
In fact, for directors and employees above the director level, even if they cannot afford a villa for the time being, buying a spacious flat is no problem, and they will not look down on small high-rise buildings with more than 20 floors.
This type of house has high density and high floors. Even if it is built by its own construction company and the distance between buildings and the thickness of floor slabs are additionally strengthened, it cannot change the attributes of a "low-rise building" after all.
Half an hour later, Huang Boxiang parked the car steadily in front of Villa No. 6 of Bihu Yunxi.
Without waiting for Chen Yansen to speak, he took the initiative to open the trunk, moved the two suitcases to the living room door, and then turned and left without saying a word.
Song Yuncheng pushed open the door and put his luggage aside.
Chen Yansen bent down to change his shoes, walked straight to the sofa in the living room, sat down, and started thinking about the next arrangements in his mind.
At present, Yunkun Aerospace's R&D team has been initially established. According to the R&D route he had previously formulated, the team will start with the power system in the early stage and gradually promote the implementation of the project.
…
…
Two days later, it was a normal Monday.
But for the employees of AutoNavi Map, Today Technology, Byte Technology, Xiaohongshu, Tiangong Technology and Xingyuan Technology, it is a memorable day.
Starting from October 20, they can officially enjoy the benefit of "working four days and resting three days".
It was early in the morning, not even half past eight.
A large number of employees carrying backpacks poured into the cafeteria of Senlian Science and Technology Park.
People gathered in groups of three or four, queuing in front of various dining windows, waiting to buy breakfast.
The cafeteria has a wide variety of food, including Chinese and Western breakfasts.
The ramen chef is wearing a mask, with the muscles in his hands tense, kneading and stretching the dough skillfully.
The job pays well and has complete benefits. The only "little worry" is that there are too many people who love to eat the ramen he makes, and he has to make hundreds of bowls a day.
"The boss went on a business trip to Yanjing a while ago and hasn't come here to eat ramen for a few days."
The ramen chef was kneading the dough in his hands, thinking secretly in his heart.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly looked up and saw Chen Yansen, whom he had not seen for a long time, walking towards his window.
"A bowl of ramen, clear broth without any spice, with extra beef and cilantro."
Chen Yansen said casually after approaching.
After saying that, he glanced at the window and saw that there were four chefs responsible for making noodles.
If only one person were to cook thousands of bowls a day, he would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.
"Okay, boss, it will be ready soon!"
The ramen chef replied with a smile.
As soon as the employees nearby saw Chen Yansen, they immediately stopped what they were doing and greeted him with smiles on their faces, calling him "Brother Sen" one by one.
Chen Yansen nodded slightly in response.
"Good morning, boss!"
At this time, Huang Zheng and Liang Bo were walking together. When they saw Chen Yansen from afar, they quickly came over and greeted him with a smile.
With the integration of Pinbei and Douyin's businesses, the relationship between the two has become much closer, and they often get together to discuss the direction of business development.
"Good morning." Chen Yansen nodded, then changed the subject: "I passed by Orange Garden Phase 1 yesterday and saw that the exterior decoration was almost finished. You two should ask the Human Resources Department to quickly compile the employee list and arrange the lottery today."
Draw a house?
Huang Zheng was stunned, then responded: "Okay, boss."
at the same time.
As soon as Meng Yun arrived at the company, he immediately notified all subsidiaries to compile and submit the list of employees in Luzhou area.
"The company is going to draw lots?"
At a Yunsu Express outlet in Yaohai District, several couriers had just finished sorting the piled up parcels when they heard the stationmaster mention this incident. They all stopped what they were doing for a moment and looked over with curiosity.
"There are 17 people in our station. I've submitted the list. After 10 a.m., everyone can double-check on the lottery page on Yunzhou."
The stationmaster calmly explained to everyone, "Be sure to check carefully to make sure your name is in the system database. Don't under-report or miss-report, as this will affect your eligibility for the lottery."
"Brother Bing, my home is in Yaohai District, and Chengzi Jiayuan is in Baohe District. If I win the lottery, can I transfer it?"
A courier's eyes turned and he asked loudly.
“You can voluntarily give up your winning ticket, but you absolutely cannot transfer it!
You have to understand that this is welfare housing provided by the group to employees. Even if you buy it, you are not allowed to resell it within five years. Everyone should remember this clearly.
The webmaster immediately added.
"Webmaster, can I apply for a loan to buy this house?"
Another courier asked.
"Of course." The stationmaster replied in a firm tone.
He paused and continued, "The group has signed cooperation agreements with three local banks in Luzhou and launched an employee-only loan program specifically for welfare housing.
The minimum down payment is only 15%, the loan interest rate is 10 percentage points lower than commercial loans on the market, and the longest repayment period can be up to 30 years. However, it is still relatively high overall. But don't worry, once our own bank opens, everyone will be able to switch to a 1.3% commercial loan. "
1.3%?
Many people looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
After all, the interest rate for provident fund loans is 3.75%, but the company only charges 1.3%!
Oh shit!
I don’t know who couldn’t help but shout first, but in an instant, exclamations of “Oh my god!” rang out one after another.
Wang Lei, who is in charge of delivering to the government affairs district, rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "If I win the lottery, based on a 100-square-meter apartment, the down payment would only be 80,000 or 90,000 yuan, and the monthly payment would be 1,600 yuan. I currently make over 8,000 yuan a month as a courier, and after deducting living expenses, I can definitely afford it!"
"That's right! My son will start elementary school next year, and right next to Orange Garden is Luzhou Experimental Primary School and No. 4 Middle School."
Another courier said with a grin.
"Alright, let's talk about it after we win! Pay attention to the group message later, I will call you to check the data."
The stationmaster smiled and shook his head, then continued to give instructions.
Two hours later, after confirming that the information of all eligible employees in Luzhou area had been entered into the lottery database, Chen Yansen personally wrote a lottery program, and then started the program to randomly draw 9,917 corresponding employee numbers and employee names from the database.
Simple and crude, without any drag!
If it were any other company, they would probably hold a live broadcast, but Chen Yansen was too lazy to do it.
It took nearly a year to build the house, but only a few hours to draw the lottery, which is amazingly efficient.
The news of the draw spread quickly.
Netizens suddenly remembered this after seeing the relevant reports.
The welfare housing that Chen Yansen mentioned last year has actually all been built.
"9,917 units? They've reserved 100 for a raffle at the annual meeting? What kind of company is this?"
In the comment section, netizens were overwhelmed with envy and scolded their own dog owners to the sky.
