Chapter 763 Establishing a Foundation in Qiongzhou! Dong Ge's Wedding Announcement! Give me 200,000, or I'll sever your sister's tendons!
Inside Villa No. 8 of Yujing Villa.
Chen Yansen sat in front of Ye Qiuping's dressing table, glanced at the screen one last time, and then closed the computer.
On Double Twelve, Pinduoduo's transaction volume reached 37.16 billion yuan.
This number is half of what it was on Singles' Day, but that's normal.
With only a month between Double Twelve and Double Eleven, users' shopping demand is limited, and even with the platform's full-fledged marketing efforts, it's difficult to significantly increase transaction volume.
Otherwise, if we held Double Eleven every day, wouldn't the annual transaction volume exceed 20 trillion?
Merchants might be able to weather the storm, but users won't.
Ye Qiuping, facing Chen Yansen, lay on her side on the large bed, her long eyelashes drooping gently, clearly already fast asleep.
Pregnant women do tend to be more sleepy.
In addition, Huang Jiawen prepared a particularly rich diet for her, and perhaps because she was originally on the plump side, she has become noticeably rounder during this period.
Chen Yansen threw off the covers and crawled into bed.
With a thought, the lights in the room went out instantly.
He gently wrapped his arms around Ye Qiuping, placing his palm on her lower abdomen. A faint fetal heartbeat could be felt, beating about 120 times per minute.
A steady and strong fetal heartbeat is essential to ensure that the body receives enough blood and oxygen to support the development of organs and tissues.
"I wonder who I'll look like when I grow up?"
Chen Yansen chuckled softly, lost in thought.
Given his current physical and mental abilities, the children he fathers will most likely be far superior to ordinary people.
He fell asleep shortly after smelling the faint milky scent emanating from Ye Qiuping.
But less than forty minutes later, he slowly opened his eyes again.
For others, this amount of time is just a nap, but for him, it has completely restored his energy and strength.
Since he couldn't fall asleep lying down anyway, Chen Yansen simply put on his slippers and went straight into the study.
Thanks to the buffer of his mental energy, he did not make a sound throughout the entire process.
He brewed some tea, turned on his computer, watched a movie, then browsed through dozens of the latest academic papers, and finally leaned back in his chair to watch short videos.
It was only at times like this that he realized that being too physically strong might not be a good thing.
The sky outside the window gradually brightened, and it wasn't until eight o'clock that Chen Yansen went down the stairs to the first floor.
The table was now laden with a variety of exquisite breakfast items, including grains, meats, fruits, and milk.
"Good morning, Mr. Chen!" Aunt Lu had just finished cleaning the kitchen and came out to greet Chen Yansen politely.
"morning!"
Chen Yansen replied.
Since Huang Jiawen and Lu Meifang arrived, the villa has finally become a bit more lively.
Another ten minutes or so passed before Ye Qiuping came downstairs, sat down opposite Chen Yansen, and slowly began to eat her breakfast.
"We'll set off at ten o'clock and take you to Qiongzhou."
Chen Yansen announced today's arrangements.
After months of investigation, Yunkun Aerospace finally decided to locate its rocket launch base in Qiongzhou.
The reason for choosing this place is simple.
First, Qiongzhou is located in a low-latitude region, where the Earth's rotational linear velocity is about 400 meters per second, which is much higher than that of the northern launch site.
Rockets can use this speed to reduce fuel consumption during launch, increasing payload capacity by 10% to 15% under the same conditions, making them more suitable for launching large-tonnage satellites or manned spacecraft.
Secondly, the launch site is located next to the ocean, and the debris of rocket boosters, first-stage rockets, and other components will fall directly into the sea. This avoids posing a safety threat to inland residential areas and eliminates the need to reserve a large amount of land for the debris landing area, thereby reducing the land costs and environmental restrictions of the base construction.
Third, rockets, satellites and other aerospace equipment are large and heavy, and can be easily transported by sea without being restricted by conditions such as bridge height and tunnel width in land transportation, which can meet the transportation needs of the new generation of large-size rockets.
Fourth, Qiongzhou has a tropical maritime climate with no severe cold throughout the year, resulting in a longer launch window. This reduces launch delays caused by extreme weather, thereby increasing the number of launches per year.
"Okay, boss," Ye Qiuping replied with a smile.
at the same time.
JD.com released its Double Twelve promotion results: total transaction volume reached 12.65 billion yuan.
As soon as the news broke, JD.com's stock price rose.
Although the increase was not significant, it still pushed the company's market value past the $64 billion mark.
Liu Qiangdong, riding high on his success, took the opportunity to announce his marriage to "Milk Tea Sister" (Zhang Zetian).
Logically speaking, he is nearly twenty years older than Zhang Zetian, almost a generation apart. However, Chinese people have always admired the strong. As long as the strength is strong enough, countless netizens will naturally take the initiative to defend and support him.
In the comments section, only a few people joked that "Liu Qiangdong is not much younger than his father-in-law," but the vast majority of netizens still offered their blessings.
"Dong-ge, will the wedding be held in our hometown or in Beijing? Will you invite Sen-ge?"
"I'm curious! If Brother Sen goes, how much money will he have to give as a wedding gift?"
"Alas, greenhouses have disrupted the seasons, and money has disrupted the cycle of life."
"Stop being so sour! Dong Ge may be a bit older, but he's a super-rich man and a top student from Renmin University."
"Old? Is a forty-year-old man old? I don't think he's old at all!"
Netizens chatted and joked around, offering their opinions.
Many people believe that although JD.com cut its logistics business, it received full support from Senlian Group, and its market value doubled in just six months after listing.
It's worth noting that three years ago, Ali was valued at just over 60 billion US dollars.
JD.com, which was once in the same tier as Gome, Suning, and Dangdang, has now jumped into the top tier of the industry and firmly secured its position as one of the three giants of China's e-commerce industry.
On the other side.
As soon as Chen Yansen arrived at the airport, his phone rang. It was Liu Qiangdong calling.
"Brother Sen, my wedding is set for New Year's Day, in the Great Barrier Reef, Australia!"
Liu Qiangdong's voice was full of laughter.
For most people, the most satisfying things in life are making a lot of money, building a big house, and marrying a mistress. He achieved all of these in 2014, plus his company's stock soared, so it's normal for him to be happy.
"Old Liu, congratulations! I'll be there."
Chen Yansen agreed without much thought.
Although Jingdong is not a subsidiary of Senlian Group, Senlian is Jingdong's largest shareholder. In addition, Liu Qiangdong calls him "Brother Sen" repeatedly and treats him with the utmost respect, like a junior brother. So he has to give him that much face.
"Thank you, Brother Sen," Liu Qiangdong said gratefully.
"By the way, Senlian plans to hold a group annual meeting at the Luzhou Olympic Sports Center on February 13th."
Chen Yansen casually mentioned it.
"Don't worry, Brother Sen, I'll definitely be there that day!" Liu Qiangdong patted his chest and assured him.
"Okay, that's all for now. See you in Australia."
After saying that, Chen Yansen hung up the phone and went into the cabin.
Not long after, a Gulfstream G550 took off and flew towards Qiongzhou.
...
...
“Xiaohao, your sister went to Bagan to work with her classmates and has now gone missing! I’ve called her and sent her messages, but she hasn’t replied.”
At a Kuai Pao delivery station in Yanjing, Jiang Hao had just answered his mother's call when he was instantly stunned.
What kind of place is Bagan?
That was the Golden Triangle back then, a notorious no-man's-land.
Even when Lazada was expanding in Southeast Asia, it deliberately avoided Bagan.
Why would you go to work in a poor and chaotic place?
"Didn't I tell you already? Orange Mobile Phone Factory is hiring this month. I have a year of service and can get an internal referral! Why do you insist on letting your sister go out to work?"
Jiang Hao frowned, suppressing his anger as he loudly questioned him.
“Your dad said that he can work for two more years before Nana gets married to save money for you to buy a house.”
The mother's voice was hesitant and revealed her guilt.
I'm impressed!
Jiang Hao suppressed the urge to curse and slammed the phone down.
He knew his parents favored boys over girls, but he never expected they couldn't even wait a few months.
My younger sister just finished the college entrance exam, but she didn't get into university, so my father put her in a factory.
After only two months, my sister quit her job in tears.
In 2014, apart from the factories under the Senlian Group, most of the factories on the market were sweatshops.
With low wages, poor working conditions, and food quality comparable to that of a prison, how could a young girl fresh out of school endure such hardship?
If someone can last two months, they're considered to be able to endure hardship.
"Rat, what's wrong? Your face is frighteningly pale, are you not feeling well?"
A rider next to him noticed that he was not in a good mood and joked with him.
“My sister went to Bagan with her classmates to look for work, and now we can’t get in touch with her.”
Jiang Hao gave a weak explanation and took out his phone to open QQ.
But when he saw his friend list, his heart sank.
My sister's main account and alternate account are both showing as offline.
He quickly logged into QQ Games and found that there was no trace of his sister logging into her favorite game.
"Going to Bagan to find a company? Could we have been scammed?"
The colleague was taken aback and subconsciously asked a question in return.
On the company's intranet forum, colleagues in Southeast Asia often post local anecdotes, including rumors that Bagan has many scam dens and cashew processing plants.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao's heart tightened suddenly.
He had a premonition, but he didn't want to believe it. After his colleague pointed it out, he became even more agitated.
He can't contact his sister through QQ, mobile phone, WeChat, or games. What else can he do?
Seeing that he was on the verge of a breakdown, his colleague quickly comforted him, "Maybe the network over there is bad. Wait a little longer, maybe she'll call you later."
Just as he finished speaking, Jiang Hao's phone rang.
It was an unfamiliar number. He didn't want to answer, but somehow he pressed the answer button.
"Brother, save me!"
When Jiang Hao heard his sister's tearful voice on the phone, he immediately panicked.
Before he could respond, a sinister voice interrupted, "Kid, we'll give you half an hour to think it over. Transfer 200,000 yuan and we'll release him."
Otherwise, don't blame us for first "starting the train" (a metaphor for taking action), and then severing your sister's tendons in her hands and feet.
"Who are you? Where is my sister?"
Jiang Hao pressed on, his voice trembling.
"Money or people?"
The other party didn't answer at all, and just kept pressing for answers.
Jiang Hao took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down: "I have 200,000, but how do I know you'll release them after you take the money?"
He worked at Kuaipao for almost two years, leaving early and returning late every day, rain or shine.
Although the cost of living in Yanjing is high, the company provided housing subsidies, transportation subsidies, and meal subsidies, and he managed to save more than 200,000 yuan.
"You don't have to believe me, it's up to you."
The person on the other end of the phone spoke arrogantly, full of arrogance and fearlessness.
Jiang Hao stood frozen in place, his mind a complete mess.
Give me the money, but honestly, it'll definitely hurt my wallet!
That 200,000 yuan was the hard-earned money he had saved up through countless days and nights of running errands, but his sister's safety was more important.
Moreover, he had seen many cases online, and these scammers would never release people easily. After squeezing all his money, they would sell his sister to a scam park, exploiting her to the extreme, even pricing her organs and parts.
But when he thought of his beloved younger sister, who had been lying in a pool of blood crying out, "Brother, save me," his heart softened. So he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you the money, but you're not allowed to hurt my sister!"
"Go on QQ, I'll send you the account."
The man on the phone chuckled softly, his tone relaxed, like a salesperson celebrating a successful sale.
Under the other party's guidance, Jiang Hao completed the transfer with trembling hands.
He waited from day to night, but still couldn't get through to his sister on the phone.
Even if he were stupid, he would realize that the other party had no intention of releasing him at all.
That 200,000 yuan was completely wasted!
