Chapter 773 The World's Richest Man's Homework? Copy it Fiercely! Deep Blue Technology's Factory Inspection Notice!
At an altitude of 10,000 meters, in the lounge of a business jet, Chen Yansen lay on a soft bed and slowly opened his eyes.
He looked down at Song Yuncheng, who was nestled in his arms, and then gently lifted the sunshade next to him.
The view was completely dark, with the deep, boundless sea below.
It was already the first day of the new year.
Chen Yansen quietly got out of bed, picked up his boxer shorts and pajamas from the clothes rack, changed into them, and then walked out of the lounge.
"Boss." A waiter in a gray uniform immediately came forward, standing to the side with a smile, waiting for his instructions.
On this private jet, everyone's salary and bonuses were directly paid by Chen Yansen. With plenty of money and little work, everyone was very happy.
"Pour me a glass of mango juice."
Chen Yansen nodded in acknowledgment, walked to the lounge area, sat down, picked up an Orange Pad, and randomly selected a movie from the local files to pass the time.
Soon, the waiter placed the cup in front of Chen Yansen and whispered, "Boss, here's your mango juice." Seeing that he had no other requests, the waiter quietly returned to his seat.
Chen Yansen picked up his cup, took a sip, leaned back, and focused on watching the movie.
at the same time.
News of Leggegi's successive suppression of three rebellions and thwarting of assassination plots in Abyssinia also spread among intelligence agencies in various countries.
They never expected that in impoverished Abyssinia, a strongman would actually emerge and suppress a group of vested interests.
With the increasing access to higher education for ordinary people in the area, a pool of capable talents can be cultivated in just three to five years.
In addition, Senlian Capital's aggressive expansion in East Africa has also attracted widespread attention.
Many people believe that Chen Yansen has a forward-looking investment vision, and this enthusiasm has indeed attracted some foreign investors to invest and build factories in the area.
In their view, Chen Yansen is the world's richest man, and his business decisions are worth a fortune. Although they don't understand them, it's always right to "copy his homework".
Suddenly, a wave of interest in East Africa swept across Europe and America, and the saying "Investing in Abyssinia is investing in the future" gradually spread.
...
...
Inside a hotel on Hamilton Island in the Great Barrier Reef.
The alarm clock suddenly rang in the early morning, its short "ring ring" breaking the silence.
Liu Qiangdong suddenly opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, turned off the alarm clock, and went into the bathroom to wash up.
Zhang Zetian, still half-asleep, sat up and asked in a gentle voice, "Qiangdong, remember to eat some breakfast."
She knew that Liu Qiangdong was going to Cairns Airport to pick someone up, and the person he was picking up was a young man in his early twenties.
However, China has always followed the principle of "might makes right" and "the victor is king." Liu Qiangdong's early debut does not necessarily mean he has achieved great success.
Now, in front of Chen Yansen, he is nothing more than a "little brother".
Of course, there's nothing shameful about it. Looking around the world, there are plenty of people who would like to be Chen Yansen's underlings, but not just anyone can catch Boss Chen's eye.
Just like Nica, Ramos, and DaBolu, which wanted to join the Orange mobile phone ecosystem but were ruthlessly rejected, they are now either bankrupt or forced to transform.
"Mm," Liu Qiangdong responded.
Ten minutes later, he dressed neatly, walked to the bedside, kissed his fiancée, then turned and left, driving to the airport.
As dawn broke and the first hint of light appeared in the distance, Liu Qiangdong finally saw Chen Yansen, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, at the arrival gate.
"Brother Sen!" Liu Qiangdong waved his arm as soon as he saw this.
He invited mostly relatives and friends to the wedding, and among the entrepreneurs, he only invited Chen Yansen, Xu Xin of Today Capital, and Zhang Lei of Hillhouse Capital, all of whom were his business associates.
"Old Liu, congratulations! You've accomplished two of the three great joys in life."
Chen Yansen stepped forward, patted Liu Qiangdong on the shoulder, and said.
"Brother Sen, there should be three items."
Liu Qiangdong corrected him with a smile.
Chen Yansen smiled slightly and chatted with the other party.
"Brother Sen! We're transferring at the airport, it'll take about half an hour to get to Hamilton Island."
Liu Qiangdong chartered a plane specifically for Chen Yansen.
"Wait ten more minutes."
Chen Yansen raised his hand to glance at his watch and said.
"Shall we go sit in the rest area over there and chat?"
Liu Qiangdong pointed to the rest area next to him and made a suggestion.
Chen Yansen nodded and chatted with Liu Qiangdong as they walked.
"Old Liu, have you ever thought about letting Di Dong go to sea?"
Chen Yansen suddenly asked.
"Brother Sen, last year JD.com already established a procurement network in France, Korea, Little Rich Kids, and Australia."
Liu Qiangdong explained.
“What I mean is, like Pinduoduo and Amazon, setting up warehouse sites and branches overseas.”
Chen Yansen waved his hand to interrupt him, making his thoughts clear.
After a moment of thought, Liu Qiangdong said, "Brother Sen, I understand the principles, but going global is too difficult! When doing localized operations, if I want to compete with local e-commerce platforms, I have to face their policy protection. Bringing overseas goods back to China to sell is easy, but if I really want to 'go global,' it's full of thorns."
Take Alibaba International Station as an example. After more than ten years, it has not achieved much, but instead has made a lot of money for middlemen.
For example, many Chinese-owned trading companies in places like Goryeo and Xiao Rizi purchase goods from Alibaba and then sell them on local e-commerce platforms.
“It’s not that difficult. Pinduoduo’s branches in North America and Europe are doing very well. Last year, its total overseas sales reached 100 billion. If you are interested, you can take over JD.com’s overseas business. I will talk to Huang Zheng and ask him to develop JD.com together.”
Chen Yansen shook his head.
"Brother Sen, what are your requirements?"
Liu Qiangdong asked directly, without beating around the bush; he knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.
“The overseas business will be operated independently, allowing Senlian to retain control.”
Chen Yansen replied directly.
Essentially, both Pinbei and JD.com are B2C platforms, but Pinbei operates on an onboarding model while JD.com operates on a self-operated model, which are two completely different operating logics.
Currently, JD.com has spun off its logistics business and sold it to Yunsu Express. Even the warehouses have become assets of Yunsu Express. JD.com's self-operated goods are still stored in the original Asia No. 1 warehouse, but a rental fee needs to be paid.
However, Dong also holds a 10% stake in Yunsu Express.
In overseas markets, Pinduoduo could actually build a self-operated B2C platform, but that would be too time-consuming.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qiangdong immediately understood Chen Yansen's meaning: the other party was willing to help JD.com make money overseas, but on the condition that this business must be established as a joint venture with Senlian, and the initiative must still be in the hands of Senlian Group.
Therefore, he would have to convince the company's board of directors first.
"Brother Sen, let me think about it," Liu Qiangdong said after a moment's thought.
The cooperation was fine, but he had a vague feeling that there might be a pitfall involved.
“Sure,” Chen Yansen replied nonchalantly.
He doesn't have much patience. Pinduoduo has already established a foothold overseas and accumulated some supply chain resources. If Liu Qiangdong is unwilling to cooperate, he can do it himself. At most, he will have to build a part of the existing supply chain and spend more time building it himself.
At this moment, another group of people walked out of the airport exit, and Mengjie pushed her suitcase and mingled in the crowd.
Upon seeing her, Chen Yansen immediately stood up and instructed his staff to escort her.
Not long after, Mengjie came over.
Liu Qiangdong glanced at Meng Jie, then at Chen Yansen, his face showing no surprise.
He was already used to this situation!
Men, especially business tycoons like Chen Yansen, wouldn't be surprised if they had a dozen or more girlfriends, let alone a few.
After introducing themselves, the three boarded the plane and flew towards Hamilton Island.
The plane landed at 9:10.
The group transferred to cars and drove into the hotel.
On a lawn by the sea, dozens of staff members were still busy preparing for the wedding.
Xu Xin and Zhang Lei rushed to greet Chen Yansen when they saw him.
Compared to three years ago, Chen Yansen's industry status and influence have undergone tremendous changes.
A person who can thrive in the internet, finance, and manufacturing sectors and is valued by Han Jinheng and Li Qingsong has already set themselves apart from them in terms of value.
The other party is someone who can rival international giants!
"Mr. Chen!"
"President Chen!"
Xu Xin and Zhang Lei greeted him with smiles; both were important investors in Jingdong.
It's fair to say that without the support of today's investors and Hillhouse Capital back then, JD.com would most likely not have survived in 2008.
This is also why Liu Qiangdong didn't invite other industry peers, but only Xu Xin, Zhang Lei, Chen Yansen, and others.
"Mr. Xu! Mr. Zhang! It's been a long time. Come visit us in Luzhou when you have time."
Chen Yansen shook hands with the two men and exchanged pleasantries.
Senlian Capital has little interaction with Xu Xin, but has more cooperation with Zhang Lei. Hillhouse Capital has participated in the financing of Kuaipao and OFO bikes.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Liu Qiangdong said with a smile, "Brother Sen, my parents are over there. The old folks usually like to use Orange Technology products."
Chen Yansen immediately understood his meaning, gave the other party face, and took Meng Jie over to greet Liu Qiangdong's parents, Zhang Zetian and others one by one.
When Liu Qiangdong's father saw his son calling a young man eighteen years his junior "Brother Sen" repeatedly, he didn't react in any particular way.
Chen Yansen's business achievements and wealth make it easy for people to forget his age.
The wedding took place as scheduled at 10:30 a.m.
After the ceremony, the guests gathered in twos and threes to discuss business, while Mengjie sat to the side, looking somewhat bored.
After Zhang Zetian noticed this, she smiled and led Mengjie to the hotel's viewing area for afternoon tea.
Meng Jie integrated quickly, for a simple reason: she was Chen Yansen's female companion, so naturally a bunch of people surrounded her, trying to please her and flatter her.
Over the next few days, Chen Yansen did not leave Australia, but instead spent some time sightseeing there.
The beginning of 2015 was a happy time for the employees of Senlian Group.
Starting in January, the salary increase and benefits adjustment policies announced by the group a month ago will officially take effect.
The base salary for full-time delivery riders at Kuaipao has mostly increased to around 2,000 yuan. The base salary standard for Yunsu Express and major factories has also increased from the original 3,300 yuan to 3,915 yuan.
In addition, the company has increased meal allowances, expanded the scope of medical insurance reimbursement, and increased holiday bonus amounts.
Simply put, even the lowest-level employees can earn an extra 10,000 to 20,000 yuan per year.
Although Senlian Group had already made headlines a month ago for its salary adjustment, its millions of employees couldn't resist showing off on social media after the policy officially took effect, so it unsurprisingly made headlines again.
On January 4th, employees should have worked a make-up day, but more than 60% of Senlian employees were on holiday.
After all, the company implemented the "bridge leave" system six months ago, and each year's holidays are seven or eight days longer than those of other companies.
The positive impact of this trending topic was immediate: after the start of spring recruitment for universities across the country, college students almost exclusively applied to companies other than Senlian Group.
In their own words, "If all else fails, we'll go to other companies. Senlian Group is definitely the first choice. Even if we're just delivering packages, it's more secure than other companies."
In fact, these college students would rather go to Abyssinia than do a job with a monthly salary of three thousand.
Even if HR makes empty promises, they can't fool many candidates.
There was no comparison before, but now with Senlian Group as a reference, even the lowest-level deliverymen and couriers can enjoy weekends off, free medical checkups and supplementary medical reimbursement. Do those small business owners who are only willing to pay three or four thousand yuan still expect college students to work hard?
This is simply a dream!
Xucheng College, located far away in northern Anhui, received some preferential treatment because it was Chen Yansen's alma mater.
As long as the students are mentally sound and Mr. Chen is kind-hearted, there will be enough screw-tightening jobs in the factory.
Don't underestimate the low rank of frontline operators; in the real world, these are positions that countless people would fight tooth and nail to secure.
Room 8302 in Building 8 of the college was once the dormitory where Chen Yansen lived.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and a new batch of college students have arrived here.
"Brother Tiger, Orange Construction is recruiting Chinese teachers in Abyssinia. They offer 6,000 yuan per month for the winter break, including round-trip airfare, food, and accommodation. Do you want to apply together?"
A boy by the window turned to his roommate and asked.
"Hey bro, we're only freshmen, do you think they'll accept us?"
Meng Wenhu turned around and asked curiously.
They are first-year students majoring in Chinese language and literature, and have only been in school for three months.
"What Brother Sen wants are freshmen! By the time they're seniors, they'll have forgotten everything they learned in high school, so how will they teach the locals Chinese?"
Brother Zui moved the computer over and showed the job postings on the screen.
What he said wasn't wrong.
University, you know what I mean!
People with strong self-discipline and learning ability will progress very quickly; but for those who lack self-control, the day of the college entrance examination may be the peak of their knowledge for the rest of their lives.
After entering university, one will only gradually degenerate. Over the course of four years, besides online shopping, playing games, chasing girls, and staying up all night, all one has learned is to cram for exams.
Holy crap! They really gave me 6000!
Meng Wenhu leaned over and read through the job posting from top to bottom. He found the requirements to be very simple, and that with the level of Chinese language majors like himself, he was sure he could handle it.
Go there for a month, and you'll get to experience the local customs and culture of Africa. I've heard that it's close to North Africa, and there are many white women there who are warm, generous, and kind.
"Hey bro, send me the link, I want to submit my resume too!"
Meng Wenhu patted Brother Zui on the shoulder and urged him on.
At the same time, graduating students from other departments who had not yet found jobs also began to consider going to Abyssinia to try their luck.
Since the Legggi government does not restrict nationality, anyone with the ability and who passes the exam can become a civil servant in the area. Who wouldn't be tempted by such an opportunity?
However, the cost of airfare and the long distance still deterred many people.
However, people who are truly capable of taking action don't care about the cost of those two plane tickets at all.
First, take a written test and an interview online, then go to Asberba for the final interview.
In fact, the difficulty of taking the civil service exam in Abyssinia is about the same as finding a job in a company.
Add to that media hype, and local civil servants are paid $1,500 a month, so you can be treated like royalty once you get there!
You can hire a nanny for $100 a month, a driver for $200, and easily find a fair-skinned and beautiful girlfriend along the way.
Some young men in their twenties who had never even held a girl's hand were so easily swayed that they became excited and started planning their trip to East Africa for work.
...
...
Shenzhen, BYD headquarters.
Wang Chuanfu held a notification letter, his face grim, unsure of what to do.
The notice stated that DeepBlue Technology would send factory inspectors next Monday to assess BYD's employee salaries and factory environment. If the standards were not met, DeepBlue Technology would cancel BYD's contract worker qualification.
Chen Yansen's meaning is very clear: he has no control over BYD's automotive business, but he must raise the wages and benefits of the employees on the production line that manufactures batteries for DeepBlue.
"What the hell does it have to do with him!"
Wang Chuanfu remained silent for a while, then, while cursing, he called over the person in charge and ordered a raise for the employees.
It has to go up!
He knew very well that if he offended Chen Yansen, it would be difficult for BYD to use Deep Blue batteries in its electric vehicles in the future!
