Chapter 747: Is it reasonable for me to kill fish? First-week sales: 31.09 million units, revenue: 80.8 billion!
November 16th, just an ordinary Sunday.
The pedestrian streets and major commercial centers in Luzhou were bustling with people and extremely lively.
It's worth noting that in 2014, most ordinary people still worked a single or double weekend off system, but nearly 100,000 employees under Senlian Capital had long implemented a double or even triple weekend off system.
Therefore, every weekend, countless young and middle-aged people come out to stroll around.
Chen Yansen sat on the second floor of the hotel, leaning against the window, looking down at the bustling crowd below.
He immediately noticed that many people were wearing work uniforms with logos printed on them, such as Pinduoduo, Orange Payment, Orange Technology, and Orange Mobile Phone Factory.
Senlian Capital provides its employees with uniforms all year round, including T-shirts, fleece jackets, down linings, windbreakers and down jackets, and even underwear and socks are printed with the company logo.
After the first batch of products from Orange Shoes rolls off the production line, employees will also be given sneakers and boots.
Anyway, it doesn't cost much!
Moreover, he had already conducted experiments showing that such "material rewards" could also be considered as a form of humanitarian aid.
Mr. Chen never does a business that loses money!
At this moment, Song Yuncheng, who was sitting opposite, handed over his phone: "Master, look at this video."
Chen Yansen took Song Yuncheng's phone and looked at the screen.
The story is simple: a recent graduate from a 211 university wants to switch jobs to Kuaipao, but HR tells him that he has to work in the pre-positioned warehouse for a month to kill fish, then do half a month of sorting and half a month of warehouse management before he can join the operations department.
The video ended with a series of tags: "@Chen Yansen @Senlian Capital Recruitment Department @Kuaipao @Pei Yi, is this reasonable?"
Chen Yansen smiled slightly; he could tell that the other party harbored a great deal of resentment.
He then took out his phone, opened Douyin, found the video, and replied directly: "If an operations staff member doesn't even understand the basic process of the pre-positioned warehouse, how can they propose the correct operational direction? Take killing fish as an example, how many seconds is reasonable to process a fish until it's ready to be sold? 10 seconds, 30 seconds, or a minute?"
In fact, even Liang Changlin, the person in charge of Kuai Pao Maicai, had spent a few days cleaning fish in the front warehouse and also worked in sorting for a while.
Netizens were completely surprised that Chen Yansen would actually reply personally.
The comments section immediately buzzed: "Brother Sen, ignore this kid! I know how to kill fish, can you recruit me into Kuaipao?"
"To be fair, there's nothing wrong with what Brother Sen did. Look at Taodian's algorithm engineers, they push delivery times to the extreme in order to improve efficiency, but they're sitting in their offices, how could they know that the shorter the delivery time, the higher the risk for the riders?"
"That's absolutely right! This person was interviewing for a pre-positioned warehouse operations position, and he doesn't even understand the basic processes and efficiency standards. How can he possibly get the job done? Does he think he can just believe whatever his subordinates tell him?"
The netizens who were initially criticizing Kuaipao for being too demanding when buying groceries and calling the HR staff "idiots" suddenly changed their tune and turned their anger towards the blogger who posted the video.
Many KuaiPao delivery drivers also replied: "Let me tell you, President Pei, President Zhang, and Brother Sen will set aside one day every year to deliver food with us!"
"It's not just them; all the middle and senior managers in various departments of Kuaipao Takeaway and Kuaipao Grocery have mandatory order targets every year and must personally experience the front-line business."
"I've only ever seen Brother Sen deliver takeout and Brother Dong deliver packages. Has Pei Yi ever actually done that?"
Some netizens have raised questions.
Immediately afterwards, someone posted a photo in the comments section.
In the video, Pei Yi is bundled up tightly, hugging two cyclists, and grinning at the camera.
The background is completely white, so it was obviously taken in winter.
"Holy crap! This is the first time I've seen President Pei dressed like this!"
"I can't believe it! Looks like the salary for delivery drivers is really hard to earn. They make tens of millions a year, but they still have to deliver food themselves!"
"A multi-million dollar annual salary? Who do you think you are! Boss Pei's stock holdings are worth billions!"
"If I ever run into President Pei delivering food, I'll give him a terrible review, not for any other reason than to let him know that life isn't always smooth sailing!"
Just as the discussion was getting heated, someone chimed in: "Actually, it's not just Kuaipao; even the top executives at Yunsu Express have to go out on the streets to deliver packages."
Then he posted a photo of Liao Wei wearing work clothes and riding a small electric scooter.
"This is unbearable! As far as I know, President Liao is already forty-nine this year, almost fifty. Isn't this considered abusing a soon-to-be elderly person?"
"Abuse of soon-to-be elderly?"
When Chen Yansen saw this comment, he couldn't help but laugh.
Sigh, there are always people who think that those in high positions should step away from the front lines.
Is this fucking right?
Not long after, the blogger who posted the video deleted it.
Ultimately, it was because he couldn't take the online criticism anymore that he deleted it.
at the same time.
Graduates who missed the fall recruitment season, especially those majoring in agronomy, seed science and engineering, and biological breeding science, immediately submitted their resumes when they heard that Orange Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Technology was going to build a fruit and vegetable planting base in Qingdao, along with a research and development center.
In their eyes, joining Senlian Capital is far more comfortable than working at an agricultural technology extension station, agricultural service center, seed company, or agricultural input enterprise.
Who knows, one day I might follow Senlian's pace and live the blissful life of "four days on, three days off"!
Moreover, the subsidiaries of Senlian Capital have always offered excellent compensation and benefits.
But to their utter surprise, even their own teachers and researchers at the institute were secretly sending their resumes to Orange Farm.
Even for the most basic agricultural planting technician position, most biotechnology companies on the market are considered to be honest if they can offer a base salary of 6,000 yuan.
But Orange Farm offers a base salary of 10,000 yuan for this position, plus a minimum of eight months' bonus over the course of a year.
It's hard to say whether other companies are good or not, but the offer from Orange Agriculture and Animal Husbandry immediately stunned a large number of job seekers.
In a male dormitory room at Huaguo Agricultural University, Shi Xuan stared at the computer screen, his brows furrowed and his face full of hesitation.
The screen displayed job postings from Orange Farm, which he read through one by one:
"Planting technician, monthly salary 15K to 20K;"
"Responsible for the management of field crops in greenhouses, polytunnels, and experimental stations; developing planting plans; and coordinating with personnel from various projects."
"The planting department coordinates the overall operations and manages personnel within the planting sector to ensure the normal growth of all crops at each stage of their development."
"Responsible for the development and management of relevant processes, systems, and BMS (Agricultural Building Management) systems in planting management;"
"Responsible for the overall management of the germplasm bank, including processes, seed quality, and safety."
He could meet all these requirements; the only problem was that the work location was in Abyssinia.
He spent a long time looking at maps before finally finding the country's location in the northeastern corner of Africa.
If you choose to stay in China, your monthly salary is 10,000; if you choose to stay abroad, your monthly salary is 15,000.
His family was of modest means, and he even gave up taking the postgraduate entrance exam in order to start working and earning money as soon as possible.
"Ah Xuan, why are you looking at this? Didn't we agree to go to Qingdao together?"
His roommate passed by, glanced at his screen, and suddenly stopped to advise him.
Shi Xuan turned around and sighed heavily: "Brother Xu, I really want to make money."
"Wanting to make money is normal, but you can't just go to Africa!"
My roommate, Xu, leaned closer to the computer and said, "Do you know what it's like over there? I heard the climate is very different from back home. What if you get sick from the change in environment? Besides, it's so far from home, you might not be able to go home even once a year."
“Brother Xu, the monthly salary for a job in Qingdao is 10,000 yuan, but in Abyssinia, food and accommodation are included, and you can save at least 300,000 yuan a year.”
It was obvious that Shi Xuan had already made up his mind.
Xu opened his mouth, but didn't refute it further.
He knew Shi Xuan's difficulties. Shi Xuan's father had an accident when he was a freshman, and he had to pay for his tuition with student loans and part-time jobs. In recent years, Shi Xuan rarely bought new clothes and was even reluctant to take more meat dishes in the cafeteria.
Thinking of this, he didn't want to offer any more advice, so he could only pat his friend on the shoulder.
Shi Xuan didn't say anything more, and his fingers moved back to the keyboard to carefully fill out the resume.
From the greenhouse crop cultivation project I participated in during university to the germplasm resource survey I did with my supervisor, every experience was written in great detail. Even the data recording work of the BMS system that I was in charge of in the laboratory was specially highlighted in bold.

Dumka, Senlian Industrial Zone.
After a month of rest, Zhu Ruizhe has almost fully recovered.
Although he earned $100,000 as soon as he landed, he knew he couldn't just sit around and do nothing.
He hadn't forgotten his true purpose in coming to Abyssinia.
Seeing that he was in good condition, Liu Hanbin simply took him directly into the packaging factory and had him start by familiarizing himself with the factory's business processes and daily management matters.
The factory is well-lit, with two rows of LED lights hanging from the white light steel roof, illuminating the neatly arranged production lines. Workers in light blue overalls are busy working in an orderly manner, with the Chinese characters "Qiangsheng Packaging" embroidered on their chests.
Of course, the locals call Liu Hanbin's factory "Powerful"!
"90% of our factory's orders come from Boss Chen. To put it bluntly, we're all relying on Senlian Capital for our livelihood!"
Liu Hanbin pointed to the electronic screen next to the film roll, on which a line of parameters was displayed: "Look at this raw material, it's not ordinary plastic, it's a three-layer co-extruded PE film, the outer layer is UV resistant, the middle layer is oxygen barrier, and the inner layer is food-grade material."
We tried products from over a dozen suppliers before, but they either didn't provide enough barrier properties or were prone to leakage during heat sealing. In the end, we sourced from Germany. The cost was a bit higher, but the quality was consistent.
Zhu Ruizhe looked ahead along the conveyor belt and nodded quickly.
"The printing press is imported from the UK. It can reach a speed of 150 meters per minute and uses water-based ink without benzene solvents. After printing, it goes directly into the drying oven and dries in 20 seconds without delaying subsequent processes."
As Liu Hanbin spoke, he reached out and touched the freshly printed film: "Try it, it's not sticky at all. If the ink isn't completely dry, it will stick to the machine when making bags later, and the whole batch will be ruined."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ruizhe tried it, and it was exactly as Liu Hanbin had said.
As you walk to the middle of the production line, the machine begins to fold the film in half, heat-seal it, and then cut it into small bags about the size of a palm with a blade.
"This is the bag-making process, where the key lies in the heat-sealing temperature and pressure."
Liu Hanbin raised his hand, gesturing for Zhu Ruizhe to look at the temperature controller on the heat-sealing roller above. He paused and then said, "The temperature must be kept stable at 180 degrees. If it's too high, it will burn the film; if it's too low, it won't seal properly, and it will leak when you squeeze it to fill the milk container."
In September, a new worker misadjusted the temperature, ruining 500 bags. Now, each workstation has an inspector who checks the parameters every hour.
After observing the entire process, Zhu Ruizhe finally understood that factory management was far more complex than it appeared.
Especially in Abyssinia, the three hurdles of language communication, way of thinking, and local customs alone are enough to make one's head spin.
Compared to workers from other countries, the employees here tend to be more laid-back, so the factory has implemented a weekly wage system specifically for local workers.
The advantages are that local labor costs are low and taxes are also low.
More importantly, by following Senlian Capital, there's no need to worry about orders; the business itself is very stable.
As long as you control the product quality well, making money is basically not a problem.
After touring the production line, Liu Hanbin led Zhu Ruizhe towards the canteen.
The industrial zone was unusually lively at that moment.
With the completion of the first phase of the project, a number of factories are moving in one after another.
For example, flour mills, rice mills, oil presses, sugar refineries, wineries, as well as canneries, meat processing plants, timber processing plants, etc., covering multiple basic industries.
These industries share a common characteristic: low investment and quick returns.
The products can be sold in the local market to meet local demand, and can also be sold directly to all parts of the world through Senlian Capital's sales network, so there is no worry about sales channels.
Although it's a bit low-end, it's definitely more suitable for Abyssinia at present.
Most multinational corporations are taking a wait-and-see approach to heavy investment projects such as coal, electricity, and steel.
After all, Legggi's actions are bound to harm the vital interests of some people.
From a business perspective, only if Leggei survives can it prove that Abyssinia has investment value.
Furthermore, they feared that Leggegi's actions were merely a publicity stunt.
Previously, many African countries have experienced sudden policy changes that have resulted in losses for foreign companies. These losses have included the confiscation of factories, the freezing of funds, and even outright fraudulent practices such as refusing to pay for goods purchased.
Wanting goods without paying? Who the hell would do business with someone like that?
This was also the main reason for Leggeji's visit to China; he hoped to persuade Chinese businessmen to invest there.
Only when someone takes the lead and makes money first can more businesses be attracted to settle in.
Otherwise, relying solely on its own strength, Abyssinia would have to wait an unknown number of years to develop.

The first World Internet Conference in Sanhe Ancient Town is about to be held, and business associations and enterprise representatives from countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Korea, and Germany have embarked on their journeys.
Senlian Science and Technology Park.
In a conference room in the main building, Yan Peng was facing a computer screen, reporting on Orange Technology's recent core sales indicators one by one: "As of November 16, the first-week sales volume of new mobile phone models reached 31.09 million units, with sales revenue of 80.83 billion yuan."
Chen Yansen sat in the main seat, his gaze fixed on the projection screen in front of him.
The Radiant Orange X3 had the highest sales volume, selling 12 million units in just seven days, firmly establishing itself in the global high-end smartphone market.
