Chapter 748 On the Eve of the Conference! My sister? Yes! My dad picked her up from a trash can!
After the weekly meeting, Chen Yansen returned to his office.
As soon as I sat down, I caught a glimpse of a pop-up news item in the lower right corner of my computer screen.
"Ali and Uber have officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement and reached an investment of 800 million US dollars to help Uber expand into the Chinese market."
Old Ma, you son of a bitch!
Chen Yansen was slightly taken aback, then muttered a curse under his breath.
Kuaidi Dache actively ventured overseas, competing with Uber for ride-hailing market share in the US, while Ma Liyun turned around and slept in the same bed with Uber.
This is not good news for Kuaidi Dache (a ride-hailing service).
However, he then thought that Uber's entry into the market might not be a bad thing. Perhaps this opportunity could be used to push the ride-hailing industry to the next stage of development, convert more drivers into full-time employees, and thus increase the sources of humanitarian aid.
A dozen minutes later, Huxiu IT reposted Yu Chendong's Weibo post, announcing that Huawei had released the Honor 6 Plus.
This phone is equipped with a Kirin 925 octa-core processor and Aurora Future 2.7 operating system, with 4GB RAM + 32GB ROM, making it the third smartphone in the world to be equipped with 4GB of RAM.
The retail price is 2,999 yuan, the same as the price of the Orange C5.
Starting with the Honor 6, Huawei began using the Aurora Future operating system. Coupled with the defection of mobile phone manufacturers such as OPPO, Meizu, and Coolpad, the market share of the Android system has also declined.
In contrast, Aurora's market share in China is steadily increasing.
In addition, the Galaxy A3 and Galaxy A5, which are scheduled to be launched in December, will both have versions with the Aurora Future operating system.
After browsing through a few news articles, Chen Yansen released the mouse, reached out and beckoned, and the cold brew tea in the freezer flew out automatically and landed steadily in his palm.
He leaned back and took out his phone to browse Mimo.
In the first video, a middle-aged Chinese man with a Shandong accent stands in a vegetable growing area in Abyssinia, introducing the surrounding vegetables to the camera:
"This lettuce is crisp, tender, and juicy; it's even sweet when eaten raw! And the tomatoes over there are big and flavorful, even better than those grown in greenhouses back home! We use the most advanced drip irrigation technology, which is water-saving and efficient, and we've also hired a lot of locals to work."
He continued, "I used to grow vegetables in my hometown. Now I work for Orange Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Technology. My salary isn't high, just over 10,000 yuan, but it includes room and board. I can easily save over 200,000 yuan a year."
He added with a smile at the end, "The girls here aren't exactly dark-skinned; they have a skin tone that's a transition between light and dark. Some of them even have skin that glows when the sun shines on them!"
In the comments section, especially among Chinese people, many asked: "Does Abyssinia fire shots as soon as someone lands?"
Are East African girls pretty? Do I need to pay a dowry if I marry one?
"I heard that ordinary people there only earn five or six hundred Chinese dollars a month. Why is Senlian Capital willing to offer such high salaries?"
In 2014, before the global travel industry had fully taken off, Mimo became the best way for many people to "travel virtually".
Southeast Asian netizens are curious about what life is like in Europe and America, while African users are also full of curiosity about tourist attractions and natural landscapes in Southeast Asia and China.
But to the average person, the focus of this video is: at Orange Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Technology's fruit and vegetable planting base in Abyssinia, ordinary workers can earn a base salary of 8,000 yuan, while those with technical skills can earn over 10,000 yuan a month.
This sparked the idea in many people to go to East Africa to work.
After all, even ten years later, half of the people in China will still have a monthly income of less than 2,000 yuan.
Chinese people have never been afraid of hardship, but they are afraid of not being able to make money.
Africa is nothing!
As long as they can get money, no one will hesitate to risk war.
Meanwhile, patrol officers can be seen everywhere inside and outside the ancient town of Sanhe, and staff from the Anguo Association are also conducting a comprehensive inspection of safety blind spots.
In two days, the first Internet Conference will be held in Sanhe Ancient Town.
In addition to Han Jinheng and Li Qingsong, the event will also be attended by Blaise, head of the Beacon Business Association, the Secretary General of the International Telecommunication Union, the founder of the World Economic Forum, and chairmen or vice presidents of companies such as Apple, Google, Qualcomm, Facebook, and Amazon.
Therefore, safety is of utmost importance.
The organizers also selected a group of college student volunteers from universities in Beijing, Shanghai, and Luzhou to be responsible for translation and directions.
The newly completed International Convention and Exhibition Center is located in the northeast corner of Sanhe Ancient Town, with a building area of 76,000 square meters.
"Ziyan, shall we carpool back to school?"
Bian Yuye gently nudged Wang Ziyan beside her with her arm.
The conference will open on the 19th and end on the 21st, lasting a total of three days. People will start arriving gradually from tomorrow, the 18th.
These volunteers have been mainly training on reception procedures these past two days.
"I have something to do, I need to go to Baohe District."
After a moment's thought, Wang Ziyan smiled and politely declined.
"Alright then, I guess I'll just have to go back to my dorm all by myself."
Bian Yuye pouted as she spoke.
She and Wang Ziyan were both students majoring in Software Engineering at Luzhou University of Science and Technology in 2013. Although they were not English majors, their spoken English was among the best in the English department.
When the school was selecting volunteers, they immediately submitted their names.
"Why don't you come with me? I'm going to have dinner with my brother, and we can rip him off together."
Wang Ziyan's eyes lit up, and she suddenly made a suggestion.
"Heh! I think you two siblings are trying to kill me, aren't you?"
Bian Yuye chuckled and teased, "I treat you like a sister, but you want me to be your sister-in-law?"
"Are you going or not?" Wang Ziyan asked again, a smirk playing on her lips.
"Is your brother handsome? Has he started working yet?"
Bian Yuye immediately pressed for more information.
Although they were roommates, she didn't know much about Wang Ziyan, only that she was from Chunshen, a small county town.
Of course, this was also intentional on Wang Ziyan's part; she rarely mentioned her private matters in front of her classmates.
"You really want to be my sister-in-law?"
Wang Ziyan reached out and pinched her cheek, asking with a teasing look.
...
...
Fifty minutes later, in front of the gate of Luzhou Prefecture.
Bian Yuye followed closely behind Wang Ziyan as they entered the restaurant with its white walls and gray tiles.
"Your brother is pretty rich, huh?"
Bian Yuye asked.
She is a native of Luzhou and a top student from the University of Science and Technology of China. She has both high IQ and EQ. Just by looking at the store that Wang Ziyan's brother ordered, you can guess his financial situation.
It's important to know that the cost of living in Luzhou Prefecture is not low. The minimum cost per person is 1,000 yuan. Not to mention students, even ordinary white-collar workers would have to worry about the cost of a single meal for ten or fifteen days.
Wang Ziyan smiled but didn't say anything.
She had met Wang Zihao's girlfriend from Xijiang before and could tell at a glance that she was cunning and calculating.
Sure enough, the two broke up less than a year later.
Although Wang Zihao wasn't as smart as her, he was Chen Yansen's eldest apprentice, someone Chen Yansen had personally trained at Shang K. Over time, he gradually saw through the girl's true nature.
Therefore, Wang Ziyan specially brought Bian Yuye today, intending to introduce her to her older brother.
Bian Yuye's parents were both employed; one was a teacher and the other worked in a state-owned enterprise. She herself was not only tall but also had a gentle and generous personality.
In Wang Ziyan's opinion, Wang Zihao is not smart enough, so she needs to find him a smart wife to improve his genes.
On the other side.
In the spacious and bright private room, Chen Yansen and Wang Zihao had just finished talking about work. They picked up their glasses and drank for a short while before the bottle of rice wine was empty.
"Brother Sen, how about we switch to baijiu? This huangjiu is too weak."
After drinking several cups, Wang Zihao showed no reaction on his face, as if he had just drunk a few cups of sweet water.
"Whatever you want," Chen Yansen said dismissively.
In the afternoon, he originally wanted to invite Wang Zihao to have barbecue, and also invite Wang Teng, Xiang Pengfei, Meng Xibo and a few others, just to catch up with old friends, but Wang Zihao had already made an appointment with Wang Ziyan and also dragged him along.
Just then, the door creaked open from the outside.
"Hey bro, Chen Yansen, what are you doing here?"
Wang Ziyan's voice rose and fell, the volume suddenly dropping, but when she thought of Chen Yansen's usual indifferent attitude towards her, her tone immediately rose again, and she asked irritably.
"Can't I freeload a meal?"
Chen Yansen raised an eyebrow and his gaze fell on Wang Ziyan.
As the old saying goes, there are no ugly eighteen-year-old girls, and someone like Wang Ziyan, who is already exceptionally beautiful, exudes an alluring youthful charm.
Chen Yansen!
Bian Yuye's eyes widened instantly, her face filled with disbelief.
She never expected that what she did to freeload a meal would turn into meeting the founder of Senlian Capital!
Is Wang Ziyan Chen Yansen's sister?
But why don't they share the same surname?
Are they half-siblings, or does one take the father's surname and the other the mother's?
A series of question marks swirled in Bian Yuye's mind, and she stood there stunned.
As for Wang Zihao standing to the side, she completely ignored him.
Although Wang Zihao is 1.78 meters tall, has a strong physique, wears a Rolex on his wrist, and is dressed quite respectably.
But then he ran into Chen Yansen, and in comparison, he suddenly seemed like an ordinary passerby, completely inconspicuous.
"What are you standing there for? Come in!"
Wang Ziyan pulled the still-dazed Bian Yuye into the private room and unceremoniously found a seat to sit down.
"Wang Ziyan, is Chen Yansen your brother?"
Bian Yuye leaned closer to Wang Ziyan and asked in a low voice.
Before Wang Ziyan could speak, Chen Yansen interjected, "That's right, but my dad picked her up from a trash can."
"..." Wang Zihao was speechless for a moment.
"..." Wang Ziyan hadn't expected Chen Yansen to say that either.
"Ah!" Bian Yuye was stunned again.
Logically speaking, she shouldn't believe such words, but the fact that they came from Chen Yansen's mouth made them seem more credible.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, this is my real brother, Wang Zihao!"
Wang Ziyan tugged at Bian Yuye's arm, drawing her attention to Wang Zihao.
Wang Zihao grinned, not taking Chen Yansen's joke to heart at all. The three of them had grown up together, practically naked, and were used to this way of getting along.
After taking a closer look at Bian Yuye, he realized that although the girl was not stunning, she had a gentle and graceful temperament. She wore glasses on her nose and looked exceptionally well-behaved and sensible.
"Brother, this is Bian Yuye, my classmate and also my roommate."
Wang Ziyan began her introduction.
Wang Zihao immediately replied, "Hello, my sister can be quite mischievous sometimes. If she does anything wrong, I'd appreciate it if you could help her out."
Before he finished speaking, he picked up two small bags from the table next to him, handed one to Bian Yuye, and gave the other to Wang Ziyan.
"Orange X3 Premium Edition? Dude, that's really something!"
Wang Ziyan took the gift bag, opened it, and patted Wang Zihao on the shoulder.
"This is too valuable, I really can't accept it."
Bian Yuye quickly declined.
One Yaocheng X3 Premium Edition is worth 6688 yuan.
"How could I accept such an expensive gift on our first meeting?" she said, pushing the bag back to Wang Zihao.
"What do you want to eat? Order for yourself, don't try to save me money, it's your brother's treat anyway."
Chen Yansen pushed a stack of wooden menus in front of Wang Ziyan and said.
"Brother Chen Yansen, can I intern at Orange Pay during winter break? I heard from my teacher that the order processing system for 12306 was optimized by engineers from Orange Pay."
Wang Ziyan didn't look at the menu, but stared intently at Chen Yansen and spoke slowly.
Last year, the 12306 system crashed as soon as the Spring Festival travel rush began.
In terms of experience in dealing with high concurrency and big data processing, the Railway Association is nowhere near as good as OrangePay.
Orange Pay processes orders daily across multiple scenarios, including food delivery, group buying, bike sharing, e-commerce, and offline payments, totaling two to three hundred million orders.
During major sales events, this number can even exceed 500 million.
"Which department do you want to join? Send it to me later."
Chen Yansen readily agreed.
Even setting aside their past relationship, he wouldn't refuse just out of consideration for Wang Zhanjun, Aunt Wen, and Wang Zihao.
"Are you going to Sanhe Ancient Town tomorrow?" Wang Ziyan asked.
"Are you a volunteer?" Chen Yansen asked in return.
"Mm," Wang Ziyan replied.
"I'll go tomorrow afternoon," Chen Yansen replied.
"You order, you know what I like to eat." Wang Ziyan pushed the menu back to her.
"I can't remember," Chen Yansen said with a smile.
"Then next time I go home, I'll tell Uncle Chen about you touching my thigh," Wang Ziyan said in a low voice, threateningly.
"Old Chen couldn't be happier," Chen Yansen said, unmoved.
In Chen Guobin's eyes, Wang Ziyan is a child he watched grow up, someone he knows well and who is the best candidate for his daughter-in-law.
"..." Wang Ziyan was speechless for a moment after Chen Yansen's words, and rolled her eyes at him.
Wang Ziyan opened the menu and casually ordered six dishes, some with meat and some with vegetables, some hot and some cold, showing great thoughtfulness.
After she finished ordering, Wang Zihao and Bian Yuye stopped arguing. In the end, Bian Yuye still didn't accept the phone. It was precisely because of this sense of propriety that Wang Zihao had a different impression of her.
The meal took more than an hour, and Wang Zihao called a designated driver.
Chen Yansen got into a Hongqi L5 and drove away.
However, he did not forget Wang Ziyan and Bian Yuye, and specially arranged a driver to take the two back to school.
It wasn't until she stepped onto the USTC campus that Bian Yuye finally found an opportunity to confirm with Wang Ziyan in a low voice: "So... your older brother is Wang Zihao, the COO of OFO bikes, and your childhood friend is Chen Yansen, the founder of Senlian Capital and the world's richest man?"
At 10 a.m. the following morning, Blaise, the head of the Lighthouse Country Business Association, had just landed and immediately took a car to Senlian Technology Park.
