Chapter 791 A New Track for 200,000 People! Qiandu Loan? Kuaipao's Most Serious Accident!
Friday, Luyang Industrial Zone.
As evening approached, the March breeze, still chilly despite its initial warmth, felt cool on my face.
At five o'clock sharp, employees of the Orange Mobile Phone Factory walked out of the gate in twos and threes, most of them wearing their own work clothes, and headed towards the nearby snack street.
It is well known that opening a restaurant in an area with many factories can bring in at least 200,000 yuan in net profit per year, even if it doesn't make you rich.
Although most employees at the Orange Mobile Phone factory eat in the park's canteen, they sometimes get tired of the food and want to try something different.
Moreover, the area is also home to suppliers of electronic components such as screens, electric motors, speakers, and mobile phone back covers. The dozens of factories employ a total of 70,000 to 80,000 people, so even setting up a barbecue stall wouldn't be difficult to make money.
In the throng of people, Yao Xin nudged his friend's shoulder: "Haiyang, have you prepared your documents and luggage?"
“Everything’s settled, but my mom doesn’t want me to go to Abyssinia,” Sun Haiyang said as he walked.
The company plans to open a mobile phone assembly plant in the Semlian Industrial Zone in Dumka, mainly targeting the African and European markets. Employees willing to be sent to East Africa will be offered salary increases and promotion opportunities.
But when his mother heard that they were going to Africa, she panicked instantly.
But after being persuaded by Sun Haiyang, he reluctantly agreed.
Yao Xin grinned and teased, "Is your mother afraid you'll bring home a black grandson for her?"
"Go away! If I really have to find someone, I'll look for someone with fair skin," Sun Haiyang quickly retorted.
In fact, the most difficult thing for people living overseas is to solve emotional problems.
People's upbringing, educational background, and way of thinking are vastly different. Making friends for an hour is easy, but getting married and having children is difficult.
Yao Xin had considered this before deciding to go to East Africa, but then he thought that he didn't plan to stay there anyway. Wouldn't it be better to make money in Africa and spend it back home?
"It's not that easy. I bet you'll get desperate and have to make do with even a black chicken when you're desperate."
Yao Xin teased him with a grin.
"Go to hell! But Xinzi, I really can't bear to leave Luzhou, sigh." Sun Haiyang sighed slightly, a look of melancholy in his eyes.
He is from Yishan. He studied at Luzhou for four years and then worked at the Orange Mobile Phone Factory for three years, spending a total of seven years there. He spent the most energetic years of his life in this place.
"Brother, we need to look forward! As the saying goes, a person should have a worldview, but we haven't even seen the world, so how can we have a worldview?"
Yao Xin smiled and offered words of comfort.
"You're right! I've heard there are quite a few white women in Africa, with amazing curves and incredible natural beauty. I wonder if that's true?"
Sun Haiyang chuckled, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"I don't know either." Yao Xin shook his head, but his face was full of anticipation.
Both of them were single and naturally full of curiosity and a desire to explore foreign women.
More than 100 technical and management personnel were to be sent to Abyssinia in the same batch, and everyone was busy saying goodbye to their families during this time.
The vendors on the food street immediately put on smiles and quickly began preparing food as soon as they saw the large group of employees from the Orange Mobile Phone Factory walking by.
These are our bread and butter; we must take good care of them!
It's worth noting that even the lowest-level assembly line workers at the Orange Mobile phone factory earn eight or nine thousand yuan a month before tax, which is better than the salary of civil servants. Coupled with a comprehensive social security system, they are exceptionally generous with their money.
Every Friday, at least 10,000 people come to this food street to eat, and then go to KTV, internet cafes or billiard rooms to relax.
Before long, each stall was crowded with diners, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.
Furthermore, as Senlian Group and its upstream and downstream industrial chains converge in Luzhou, housing prices are also soaring.
Last year, the average price was only 6,000 to 8,000 yuan per square meter. However, less than two months after the Lunar New Year, the lowest housing prices in areas such as Yaohai, Luyang, Shushan, and Baohe have exceeded 10,000 yuan per square meter.
Numerous Orange convenience stores have sprung up on the streets and alleys, seemingly appearing overnight, aiming to compete with chain convenience stores such as Meiyijia, FamilyMart, 7-Eleven, and Lawson.
This project belongs to Orange Supermarket and is currently managed by Wang Zihao. The first batch of 319 stores were opened, mainly distributed in East China.
In terms of staffing, it usually consists of one store manager and four employees. Once fully rolled out, it can open at least 30,000 to 50,000 stores, providing nearly 200,000 jobs.
Furthermore, Orange Convenience Stores can be integrated with Orange Supermarket, KuaiRun, and Pinbei, fully leveraging the group's supply chain, transportation capacity, and sales channel advantages to form a complete ecosystem.
KuaiPao Flash Sale, Orange Supermarket, and Orange Convenience Store primarily target offline markets, while Pinbei focuses on the online market.
Thanks to the massive online traffic, Orange Convenience Store became an instant hit as soon as it opened.
When users browse Douyin or Kuaishou, they will occasionally see advertisements for Orange Convenience Stores within a 200-300 meter radius. New users also enjoy instant discounts, making it easy to acquire new customers and complete the first transaction.
With this, Chen Yansen's layout in the retail industry has initially achieved an ecological closed loop.
...
...
Senlian Science and Technology Park, Main Building No. 1, Reception Area.
Huang Boxiang waited quietly in a Hongqi L5.
Not long after, he saw Chen Yansen walk out of the elevator through the rearview mirror. After his boss got into the car, he turned left and sped towards Yujing Villa.
Chen Yansen stretched and leaned back in his chair with his eyes half-closed.
To advance the development of C4 soybean breeding and the Yunkun aerospace engine, he changed his three-day weekend to a two-day weekend. While most of his subordinates were on holiday, he still had to work overtime on Fridays.
He uses the Planck clock talent to its limit every day, so in Huang Boxiang and Ye Qiuping's eyes, Chen Yansen is in extremely poor condition lately, always looking exhausted after get off work.
Huang Boxiang, sitting in the driver's seat, opened his mouth, wanting to persuade Chen Yansen to take a couple of days off. However, having worked for his boss for two years, he knew the man's personality all too well. After a moment's thought, he simply focused on driving.
at the same time.
After careful consideration, Li Yanhong, who was far away in Yanjing, decided to give up on Qiandu Waimai.
This business has such a bad reputation that it's a talent to offend users, merchants, and riders all at once. Continuing to do it will only be a waste of time and effort.
However, the company's revenue and market value were declining, and as the chairman of Baidu, he had to find new business growth points.
Autonomous driving?
Leaving aside the technical issues, it will take at least five to eight years for the policy to be implemented.
E-commerce?
Now, Pinduoduo, Yaomao, and JD.com dominate the market, and Baidu's entry will likely result in a beating.
AI?
High R&D costs mean profitability is a long way off.
After much deliberation, Li Yanhong finally focused his attention on consumer loans.
This product only requires aggressive advertising; the investment is small and the returns are high.
Soon, the Qiandu Loan project team was established, which he regarded as the core project of the group in the new year.
...
...
"Qiandu Loan? Is online lending all these people know how to do?"
Upon receiving the message, Chen Yansen couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After selling Meituan to Sanpower, Wang Xin teamed up with Wang Huiwen to start a "group-buying loan" business.
After failing in the search engine field, Li Yanhong has surprisingly set his sights on the loan business.
It has to be said that even though he studied abroad and received a Western education, Li Yanhong still had the mindset of landlords and tenant farmers.
But he didn't pay much attention. When he went to Yanjing for a meeting last time, Li Qingsong mentioned that the policy on the P2P industry would be tightened by the second half of the year at the latest.
For Baidu to get involved in the lending business at this time is tantamount to suicide.
If Li Yanhong wants to jump into the well, he won't stop him.
At this moment, Ye Qiuping came out of the bedroom, holding a rainbow gradient baby sweater in her hand, and waved it in front of Chen Yansen: "Is it pretty?"
Chen Yansen put down his phone and looked up. Compared to a month ago, Ye Qiuping was noticeably rounder, with a slightly protruding belly.
He reached out and touched her soft belly, chuckled, and said, "It depends on whether she likes it or not! But most girls love these bright colors."
Ye Qiuping sat down and carefully examined Chen Yansen.
She suddenly realized that although the other person was 23 years old, his skin condition and appearance still looked like those of a 19 or 20-year-old college student.
"You don't seem to have aged at all?" Ye Qiuping asked subconsciously.
Chen Yansen's heart tightened, and he retorted irritably, "I'm only in my early twenties, how can I get old?"
He understood what Ye Qiuping meant; he had already realized this.
Perhaps it was because the [Golden Skin and Jade Bones] talent was activated, or perhaps it was because the constitution value broke through 100.
Ye Qiuping didn't think too much about it; in her opinion, it was probably because Chen Yansen was well-maintained.
Money is the most nourishing supplement, and a very powerful one at that!
Like herself, she is thirty-one years old this year, but with the increase in income in recent years, a refined daily diet, and appropriate exercise and maintenance, she looks younger than when she was twenty-six or twenty-seven.
"Aunt Lu has packed her luggage," Ye Qiuping said again.
"Okay, we'll go to Jinling after lunch."
Chen Yansen responded casually.
He's lucky if he can work one more day; of course he'll go out and have fun on the weekend.
He had taken Meng Jie and Song Yuncheng to the hot spring hotel in Jinling before, so why not take Ye Qiuping there again?
At the same time.
At Sanxiaokou in Luzhou, a Kuaipao deliveryman was waiting at a red light, glancing at his route and remaining delivery time.
As soon as the green light came on, before he could even turn the handlebars, he heard the roar of an engine behind him.
With a loud crash, a car rammed straight into them, sending the driver and the car flying several meters away before the driver, still shaken, slammed on the brakes.
"ah!"
The deliveryman's right leg was trapped under the wheel, and he was in excruciating pain.
Fortunately, the frame of the orange electric scooter was sturdy enough, and he was wearing a helmet; otherwise, it's hard to say whether he would have been able to shout at all.
However, his lower body couldn't avoid the situation in time and was caught between the chassis and the wheels.
Seeing this, passersby immediately called an ambulance. Five or six drivers and passersby rushed over, first cursing the driver, then working together to lift the car and drag the deliveryman out.
If it were someone else, they might have some reservations, but the one lying under the car groaning was a Kuaipao delivery rider, so he definitely wouldn't try to extort money from them. Besides, he has a company, medical insurance, and commercial insurance.
Without the risk concerns, there will naturally be more enthusiastic people.
"Thank you," Wang Haoqiang, the deliveryman, said with a pale face, barely managing to say thank you.
As soon as he finished speaking, the pain in his right leg intensified.
When passersby saw his legs clearly, their hair stood on end and their brows furrowed.
From the knee to the calf, the area was a bloody mess, with even broken white bone spurs visible – it was truly horrifying!
In the past two years, some people have been boasting about the high wages and good benefits of food delivery, but the risks are also too great.
Upon witnessing this, the driver abandoned his vehicle and fled while those around him were distracted.
By the time passersby realized what had happened, the person had already vanished.
"Dragon Scale Horse! Is this guy brain-dead? There are cameras all over the sidewalks, where could he possibly run to?"
"Could it be that he's been drinking?"
"Holy crap! There's a strong smell of alcohol in the car, no wonder he dared to be so reckless!"
"Call the police station right now! Otherwise, if this bastard hides for a couple of days, his drunk driving will turn into a hit-and-run!"
The passerby angrily cursed.
Someone has already called the local police station and provided a detailed description of the vehicle's license plate number and the direction the driver fled.
Someone even crouched down and gently comforted him, saying, "Brother, hang in there, the ambulance will be here soon!"
Wang Haoqiang gritted his teeth, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
He tried to say something, but his body was shaking so badly that he couldn't control it at all. His vision went darker and darker until finally his head drooped and he passed out.
Beneath him, a pool of bright red blood slowly seeped out.
Just then, his smart badge suddenly emitted a short "beep beep beep" notification sound.
This is the emergency rescue system that Kuaipao provides for its riders. It has a built-in collision sensor and works on a similar principle to the deployment mechanism of a car's airbag. Once a severe impact is detected or the rider actively triggers the system, the rider's location and status will be automatically synchronized to the backend dispatch center.
Meanwhile, at the Luzhou Kuaipao operations headquarters, dispatcher Xiao Li received a system alert and immediately retrieved Wang Haoqiang's real-time location and delivery route, then called him.
After waiting for 30 seconds without any answer, Xiao Li concluded that something had happened to the rider and that the collision sensor had not been accidentally triggered.
He didn't dare delay and immediately dialed the emergency response hotline: "Manager Zhang, there's been an accident at Sanxiaokou. The rider is Wang Haoqiang, number 310957!"
Emergency manager Zhang Lei hung up the phone and, without wasting a second, dialed the dedicated emergency number of the partner hospital: "This is the emergency department of Kuaipao. We have a rider who was involved in a traffic accident in Sanxiaokou. Please send an ambulance immediately!"
Meanwhile, when Xiao Li made his second call, the other end finally answered. It was a passerby holding Wang Haoqiang's phone, who briefly explained what had happened.
Drunk driving, hitting someone, and then fleeing the scene?
Zhang Xuhao quickly learned of the news and immediately reported it to Pei Yi. At the same time, he used the company's legal department to put pressure on the Luzhou Inspection Station, demanding that the perpetrator be caught as soon as possible.
After receiving the call, the inspection station and the traffic association immediately retrieved the surveillance footage and identified the driver of the vehicle involved in the accident.
The man was brought back in less than an hour.
Logically speaking, this kind of thing shouldn't be handled with such high efficiency.
After all, it was just a food delivery driver who got into an accident; Kuaipao has 800,000 riders like that.
But the company was willing to step in, and Chen Yansen was the biggest taxpayer in Luzhou, and he frequently visited Meng Yuanzhi's office.
Rumors circulated that Chen Yansen was on par with Meng Yuanzhi, so they naturally took things very seriously.
Once the person was apprehended, a blood test was immediately arranged.
As expected, the blood alcohol content exceeded 80 milligrams per 100 milliliters, making drunk driving a certainty.
But soon news came from the hospital: Wang Haoqiang's right leg could not be saved and had to be amputated.
Drunk driving, hit-and-run, causing the victim to miss the best time for treatment—this combination of factors has reached its maximum.
The inspector handling the case glanced at the driver who caused the accident and thought to himself: This kid won't be getting out for at least five or six years.
Senlian Group and Chen Yansen are known for protecting their own, employing over a thousand lawyers and having no fear of litigation.
...
...
Jinling, inside a hillside hot spring resort hotel.
After listening to Pei Yi's report, Chen Yansen's face darkened, and he immediately instructed, "Have the legal department negotiate the highest possible compensation! Damn it, drunk driving and still dares to run away! You should give Tao Jingwen a heads-up."
He provided his riders with comprehensive insurance coverage, and since he has plenty of money, he must pursue the matter to the end.
“Yes, boss, I know what to do,” Pei Yi replied immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yansen tossed aside his phone and let out a long sigh of relief.
He knew this situation was unavoidable, so he could only do his best to seek justice for his employees and then make proper arrangements for them.
He had already instructed Pei Yi to transfer Wang Haoqiang to the group's training program for further study.
Those with ability will be given priority training and given an easier job; those without ability will be assigned to the online customer service department.
This is the most serious incident that has occurred since Kuaipao Delivery was launched.
Ye Qiuping, wrapped in a bathrobe, walked over and, seeing Chen Yansen's serious expression, asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Chen Yansen briefly explained the whole story.
After hearing this, Ye Qiuping couldn't help but frown and scold, "Drinking and driving is really harmful to people."
Chen Yansen remained silent.
He knew that such accidents would happen again in the future, and that it was unavoidable.
With over 800,000 riders, even during the changing seasons of winter, when the probability of catching a cold is only one in a thousand, 800 people will still get sick every day, let alone on busy roads.
How about creating an intelligent early warning system?
Or should we use data from Gaode Maps to develop a program for real-time traffic control?
Chen Yansen began to ponder this to himself.
