Chapter 741 Half an hour, 100,000 new accounts opened! 499 yuan? That's too brutal!
The following day, several express delivery companies, including Yunsu, SF Express, and Huitong, held mobilization meetings for "Double Eleven" simultaneously, making intensive arrangements for temporary capacity increases and staff scheduling.
This year's year-end promotion is far larger than ever before. Starting in mid-October, the platform has been continuously launching red envelope giveaways and flash sale events.
The livestream hosts worked around the clock, pushing pre-sale sales to new highs time and time again.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Yansen took a car to Yaohai District.
After four months of preparation, the first offline branch of Senlian Bank was finally located in Yuan Yi Times Square.
Despite the fact that Luzhou is currently undergoing subway construction and the surrounding area of the business is not very convenient, the site was still crowded with people.
Almost all the prominent local businessmen were present, clearly there specifically to support Senlian Bank.
Domestic and foreign journalists with cameras moved about, while many passersby who had heard the news gathered on the outside to watch the spectacle.
As soon as Chen Yansen got out of the car, reporters rushed forward, but fortunately, security personnel on site stopped them in time to maintain order.
"President Chen!"
Ma Zheming of Ping An Group walked up to greet him with a smile and a calm wave.
He made a special trip from Shanghai for two reasons: firstly, he holds shares in Senlian Bank, and secondly, Pingan Group has numerous business collaborations with Senlian enterprises, so his personal presence was necessary both for public and private reasons.
"Mr. Ma, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting!"
Chen Yansen reached out and grasped Ma Zheming's right hand, responding with a smile.
"Mr. Chen, you're too kind. I've arrived too early!" Ma Zheming changed the subject casually, asking, "I heard that Orange Technology is holding a new product launch at the International Center today?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yansen immediately replied, "With Zhou Shouzhi and Wang Teng keeping an eye on things, it makes no difference whether I'm there or not."
Ma Zheming smiled slightly, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.
To be honest, he had great faith in Chen Yansen's abilities. Whether it was his ability to judge people or his business management skills, they were all world-class.
Xu Jiujiu stood beside her father, gazing longingly at Chen Yansen in the crowd, her heart feeling as soft and yielding as if wrapped in cotton.
The man she had her eye on was indeed incredibly dazzling!
The problem is, they don't even look at her!
Xu Xiangdong saw through his daughter's thoughts but didn't know how to offer much advice, so he could only sigh inwardly.
Although he is known as the "King of Hui'an Wine" and has a net worth of over a billion yuan, he knows very well that his wealth is nothing compared to someone of Chen Yansen's caliber.
Besides, he's lived most of his life. Even if he doesn't understand Chen Yansen, surely he understands men?
He didn't want his daughter to end up as a concubine.
"Mr. Zhang!"
"President Liang!"
"Mr. Xu!"
Chen Yansen smiled and stepped forward, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries with each of the several CEOs who came to greet him.
Standing beside her father, Xu Jiujiu saw that Chen Yansen only exchanged pleasantries with her father and didn't even glance at her for a second. Her heart sank instantly, and she subconsciously bit her lip until it turned white.
"Oh, Mr. Xu is here too!"
Chen Yansen had already turned around and was about to walk forward when he noticed Xu Jiujiu's drooping head, so he stopped slightly and made a joke.
These words were like a ray of light. Xu Jiujiu immediately raised her head, a sweet smile blooming on her face, and said, "President Chen, congratulations on the official opening of Senlian Bank. I wish you great wealth and prosperity in the future!"
"Then I'll take Mr. Xu's good wishes."
Chen Yansen gave a few perfunctory replies and turned to walk towards the rest area.
I had only taken a couple of steps when I heard a noise behind me.
Chen Yansen scanned the area with his divine sense and knew that Meng Yuanzhi had arrived, so he stood still and waited.
Xu Jiujiu's gaze was fixed on him, never leaving him for a moment.
Now that she was close enough, she could faintly smell the woody scent on Chen Yansen's body, and even see the fine downy hair on his cheeks. She was completely stunned.
Xu Xiangdong, who was standing to the side, could no longer sit still.
When no one was looking, he secretly reached out and pinched his daughter's arm.
"Dad, why are you pinching me?" Xu Jiujiu cried out in pain, then snapped back to reality and glared at her father with displeasure.
"Stop looking! Rich men, especially those who became famous at a young age, are all complicated characters. You are not the same kind of person as him."
Xu Xiangdong lowered his voice and earnestly advised.
As they were talking, Meng Yuanzhi had already led Tao Jingwen over quickly, a hearty smile on his face.
"Mr. Meng!"
Chen Yansen spoke first, reaching out to greet him.
"Mr. Chen, congratulations!"
Meng Yuanzhi laughed heartily and patted Chen Yansen's hand as he spoke.
Senlian Bank is headquartered in Luzhou, and besides Senlian Capital, it is the biggest beneficiary.
His proactive arrival and enthusiastic attitude at this moment are tantamount to sending a clear signal to the outside world that Luzhou will fully support the subsequent operation of Senlian Bank.
Although Meng Yuanzhi did not say it explicitly, which of the businessmen present was not shrewd?
"Mr. Meng, please come in!"
Chen Yansen smiled and nodded, then stepped aside to lead Meng Yuanzhi and the others to the rest area in the hall, intending to rest for a while and wait for the official start of the unveiling ceremony.
Soon, when the ceremony was about to begin, the three individuals, as core representatives, stepped onto the stage.
Chen Yansen is the head of Senlian Capital and the largest shareholder of Senlian Bank. Meng Yuanzhi represents Luzhou State-owned Assets, while Ma Zheming represents Ping'an Group, which holds shares in the company.
All three major investors were present. Each of them took a pair of scissors from a tray held by an attendant. As the countdown ended, they cut the ribbons together cleanly and efficiently, thus completing the opening ceremony of Senlian Bank.
Confetti rained down, cameras clicked incessantly from the audience, and flashes illuminated the entire opening ceremony as if it were daytime.
As the first private bank in China, Senlian Bank has attracted a lot of attention since its preparation stage. Now that it has officially opened for business, it has received far more attention than ordinary financial institutions.
Whether it's competitors within the industry, upstream and downstream partners, or media and the public who are concerned about financial reform, almost everyone is watching its every move, wanting to see how this "first to try something new" private bank will open up the market.
For ordinary people, what they care about most is the deposit interest rate of Senlian Bank, whether it is convenient to deposit and withdraw cash, whether there is a gift for opening an account, and the quality of teller service.
Offline, anyone who opens an account and deposits cash for the first time, regardless of the amount, even if it's just one yuan, will receive a five-pound bag of rice and thirty yuan in Pinduoduo shopping credit.
Online, Seng Lian Bank's account opening offers are even simpler and more straightforward.
Upon opening an account for the first time, you can receive a cash bonus of 50 yuan, which will be credited to your linked savings card in real time, with no withdrawal threshold.
Seng Lian Bank's preferential policies are far more attractive than the average person expects. Although the basic fixed deposit interest rate is the same as that of the four major banks, all fixed deposits come with shopping credits.
The one-year fixed deposit rate is 0.3 percentage points higher than that of offline banks, and the three-year fixed deposit rate has reached 4.2%, far exceeding the level of state-owned banks in the same period.
In addition, new users can receive a free 10-year account security insurance policy, which directly protects the safety of all funds in the account.
From deposit discounts to security guarantees, Senlian Bank offers benefits to users throughout the entire process from account opening to wealth management.
The announcement of such favorable offers instantly ignited the public's enthusiasm for opening accounts.
As soon as the online account opening system was launched, the backend data skyrocketed, and in less than half an hour, the number of account openings exceeded 100,000.
On the other side.
At the Luzhou International Conference Center, Wang Teng stood on the stage, facing the sea of people below, holding up a smartphone that gleamed silver.
On the large screen behind him was a high-definition CG image of the Qingcheng D3 SE!
5.0-inch IPS 720P Full HD large screen;
The front-facing camera is 3 megapixels, and the rear-facing camera is 8 megapixels.
1GB RAM and 8GB ROM;
Equipped with a Tiangong C200 quad-core 64-bit processor;
Although its memory, screen, and camera are all subpar, it's priced at only 499 yuan!
Contract phones offered in partnership with telecom companies are even cheaper, and can be given away for free with a 300 yuan top-up.
"Compared to the Qingcheng D2 SE, this Qingcheng D3 SE is mainly aimed at the youth market. Because it uses the Aurora Future 2.7 system, although the memory is not large, its smooth operation is definitely not inferior to competing products in the thousand-yuan price range."
Wang Teng slowly introduced.
In fact, users don't have many requirements for a smartphone that only costs 499 yuan; they just need it to make calls, send text messages, and browse Douyin (TikTok).
The Qingcheng SE series has undergone a major upgrade in terms of processor, abandoning the previously used low-cost MediaTek chips and instead adopting the Tiangong C200 processor.
According to comprehensive test results released by SPEC a week ago, the Tiangong C200 performs exceptionally well in terms of performance and power consumption. Compared to the Qualcomm 600 series, its performance is improved by more than 25%, and its power consumption control is also better. This provides a solid guarantee for the performance of the Qingcheng SE series, enabling users to have a smoother and more efficient user experience.
Orange Technology has proven with its actions that once chips are domestically produced, the price of high-performance smartphones does indeed decrease.
Previously, the Snapdragon 600 chip was typically found in phones priced around 2,000 yuan. Now, for just 499 yuan, you can experience a processor with even better performance.
Lei Yijun, Yu Chendong, Huang Zhang, and the others wore wry smiles, looking utterly helpless.
499 yuan?
How can we fight like this?
It's clear that Chen Yansen's intention in making this move is quite clear: he feels that the development of the mobile internet is too slow, so he simply gets involved himself, using "low-priced, high-performance" mobile phones to lower the industry threshold and force the entire market to accelerate forward.
The expansion of the smartphone user base is an important foundation for the development of e-commerce, food delivery, ride-hailing, and logistics industries, and can further increase the upper limit of the market capacity of these industries.
As the industry develops, companies like Yunsu Express and Kuaipao Delivery will be able to provide more jobs, allowing Mr. Chen to receive more humanitarian support.
The live stream was filled with comments like "President Teng is awesome", "Our son is so filial", and "Dad is giving you a chance, 399 to make friends".
With its configuration, the Qingcheng D3 SE would have been very popular even if it were priced at 999 yuan a year ago.
But Orange Technology deliberately lowered the price to 499 yuan, which is really too cruel!
"Oranges are really expensive, but green oranges are really cheap!"
One netizen couldn't help but sigh.
