Chapter 404: Don't let Mr. Ma know your innovative ideas! I'm done with the installation, you can do whatever you want!
Inside the Shenzhen Wuzhou Hotel, the huge conference hall is ablaze with lights.
Some of the reporters were carrying video cameras, while others were holding still cameras. They adjusted the focus and aimed the lenses at the four people on the stage.
The host had already stepped aside, leaving the stage to Chen Yansen, Ma Wenteng, Ma Liyun and Li Yanhong.
Li Yanhong looked at Chen Yansen who was standing diagonally opposite him, and suddenly he became very angry. He took a deep breath and continued the previous topic:
“What Mr. Ma meant is that compared to ten years ago, the Internet industry has changed dramatically, and entrepreneurship and competition can no longer rely on the past free model, but should focus on creating value and finding new business models and competitive advantages.
But I would like to borrow another quote from Mr. Ma: You still have to have dreams, just in case they come true.”
After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Chen Yansen. His intention was self-evident. Wasn't there a ready-made example right before his eyes?
The audience couldn't help but laugh and applaud softly.
Li Yanhong's answer was relaxed and measured, unlike Ma Liyun's which was sharp and made people feel uncomfortable.
nonsense!
Chen Yansen gave his evaluation silently.
Li Yanhong's way of speaking is quite skillful. He seems to be talking eloquently, but in fact, his words are devoid of any substantial content.
This formula of "summarizing the words of the previous one" is just a common "upward management" trick used by employees.
He looked at Li Yanhong with a strange expression, and suddenly remembered a joke: A vice president of Baidu found that Li Yanhong was reading a book recently, so he instructed his subordinates to push relevant information flow to him.
This made Li Yanhong mistakenly believe that Qiandu's artificial intelligence algorithm was very powerful, but he didn't know that it was not intelligent at all and was entirely artificial.
Seeing how Li Yanhong can readily come up with this kind of rhetoric, could it be that he developed this habit because he was "managed upward" by his subordinates for a long time?
"Mr. Chen, as a latecomer in BATS, what do you think?" the host guided the topic.
“Times, like people, have their limitations! The business world is changing rapidly, and there will always be new business models emerging. Your competitors may not necessarily be the ones who take you down. For example, the sales of instant noodles shrank by 11.7% last year, simply because the takeaway industry has flourished all over the country.
Being invincible is not enough, enemies may come from the outside world at any time! I personally hope that more waves behind us will appear and push us forward. "
Chen Yansen answered slowly.
"Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death on the beach by the waves behind you?" the host asked boldly and joked.
"If we are overtaken by latecomers, it must be that there are problems with Senlian Capital's business and strategy. We must either make timely adjustments or wait for decline. After all, when the times abandon you, they won't even say hello."
Chen Yansen didn't care and shrugged.
After saying this, he looked at Li Yanhong with a smile.
"Why are you looking at me? Qiandu's development is booming!"
Li Yanhong narrowed his eyes, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, and he shouted secretly in his heart.
"Mr. Ma, are you worried that Penguin will be surpassed by other companies one day?" the host continued to ask.
"To be honest, I was very worried and even anxious, so before the launch of WeChat, Penguin made many attempts at mobile ports. As Mr. Chen said, I was also afraid of being eliminated by the mobile era, but fortunately the result was good."
Ma Wenteng frowned slightly, and after sharing his own experience, he joked: "Just don't be like Li Yanhong, who made the search engine like this and was attacked by the public."
"..." Li Yanhong had no expression on his face.
"Mr. Li, do you agree with Mr. Ma's views on Qiandu?" the host asked.
“I don’t quite understand what Mr. Ma said, because Qiandu Search still ranks first in the domestic market share and maintains a leading position.
As an early adopter, I want to warn the new wave of entrepreneurs: Don’t let Mr. Ma know about your innovative ideas, otherwise Penguin will quickly copy them. "
Li Yanhong thought for a moment and responded.
Chen Yansen couldn't hold it together for a moment and tried hard to press the corners of his mouth.
Ma Liyun didn't give any face at all, and his smile was not big, but it sounded extremely harsh to Ma Wenteng's ears.
Ma Wenteng pushed his glasses and avoided it tactically.
Some things may make you feel more confident if you haven't done them, but the key is that he did them.
Li Yanhong's words sounded a bit harsh, causing a group of business leaders attending the meeting to smile knowingly.
QQ Hall paid tribute to Bubble Hall, QQ Game Platform paid tribute to Lianzhong Games, QQ Speed paid tribute to KartRider, QQ Dance paid tribute to Audition, QQ Farm paid tribute to Happy Farm...
What’s frustrating is that most of the products being paid tribute to have become unpopular or dead, while the ones paying tribute to them are thriving.
Although it was true, Li Yanhong's insults were also very dirty.
If he wasn't still on the stage, Brother Ma would have turned hostile long ago: I was just joking, you can't afford to laugh!
Seeing this, the host quickly changed the subject and said, "Last year, Mr. Ma, Mr. Li and Mr. Ren of Huayuan Real Estate had a debate about how high housing prices might affect recruitment. Do you two still think so this year?"
"I suggest letting Ma Liyun answer first. Last year, during the campus and social recruitment process of Penguin, Ali Baba repeatedly cut in. Penguin offered someone an offer of 200,000 yuan per year, but Ali only offered 240,000 yuan. I think Mr. Ma doesn't care about the rising housing prices. He is the most generous."
Ma Wenteng, who was in a bad mood, said in a sarcastic tone.
Little Sith!
Li Yanhong is scolding you, and you are scolding me?
Is this correct?
Ma Liyun laughed angrily, but he also had a bad temper, so he immediately fought back: "When Penguin poached middle-level managers from Ali, the salary increase was more than 30%. Frankly speaking, Ali Baba's recruitment pressure is very high. I also envy Ma Wenteng. Games are too profitable. Unlike e-commerce, the entire industry chain has too many employees and the profit is very low."
What he said sounded reasonable, but it was 2013 and the gaming industry was being criticized by parents. His praise was undoubtedly a form of flattery. Once the industry became popular, Penguin would be criticized again.
When talking about himself, he also implicitly boasted about himself, suggesting that Ali had driven employment development.
He doesn't talk much, but he can say a lot of bad things.
"Mr. Li, the housing prices in the suburbs of Shanghai, Yancheng and Shenzhen are now over 10,000 yuan, and some areas are as high as 20,000 or 30,000 yuan per square meter. How do you view the contradiction between high employment costs and high housing prices?"
Seeing that the tension was growing, the host gave the chance to speak to Li Yanhong without waiting for the two Ma brothers to speak.
"I gave an example. A new employee who had been working at Baidu for less than a year said on the intranet that he really wanted to work hard, but with his current salary, he couldn't afford to buy a house, not even the down payment. I think this mentality is wrong."
Li Yanhong paused and said, “Under normal circumstances, renting a house is also very comfortable. In fact, engineers in Silicon Valley cannot afford to buy a house two or three years after graduation.
In fact, the salaries offered by Baidu, Ali, or Penguin are all top-notch in the industry, so young people should be more patient and wait a few more years.”
After hearing this, Ma Wenteng shook his head repeatedly. He felt that Li Yanhong was just self-satisfied and didn't care about other people's lives. His words were like farts.
He took the initiative to say: "Why do young people want to buy a house early? It's because the housing prices have risen too sharply in recent years. Our housing prices were relatively stable back then, so we can't use the past ideas to restrict the ideas of young people.
In order to retain talent, Penguin has made many efforts in this regard, including housing plans and providing interest-free loans to employees.
"Ali also has a similar iHome plan." Ma Liyun echoed.
Mr. Li lives in a villa of thousands of square meters and has more money than he can spend in his account, so he doesn't care about the lives of his employees.
What? You're targeting me, right?
Li Yanhong felt dissatisfied and then looked at Chen Yansen.
"Senlian Capital doesn't have it." Chen Yansen said truthfully.
Li Yanhong felt relieved, and Chen Yansen's annoying face actually became more pleasing to the eye.
Fortunately, he is not alone!
"But all the holding subsidiaries of Senlian Capital, from customer service, riders, couriers to supervisors, directors, and general managers, receive a housing subsidy of 20% of their base salary in addition to their monthly salary."
Chen Yansen added.
The smile on Li Yanhong's face suddenly stopped!
The host understood that if the monthly salary was 15,000 yuan and the housing subsidy was 3,000 yuan, it would be 36,000 yuan a year.
Isn't it better to just give money to employees instead of borrowing money?
This is not a rental subsidy at all, it is clearly a housing purchase subsidy!
"In addition, I don't agree with Mr. Li's point of view. He doesn't understand young people. I understand the difficulties of my peers. Who doesn't want to buy a car and a house and marry a beautiful wife in advance? Mr. Li asked the young people to wait a few more years, but the mother-in-law can't wait."
Chen Yansen couldn't help it and stabbed him again.
His words were very down-to-earth and touched the hearts of many people.
House prices are high, commodity prices are high, and the bride price is high, and you want me to wait?
Wait for you uncle!
"Does Mr. Chen agree to give employees a pay raise?" the host asked.
"Salary increase is not important. Either we return the overtime pay to the employees first, or we return the time to the employees." Chen Yansen said lightly.
Where does overtime pay come from on the Internet?
Employees are highly conscious and voluntarily work overtime, and the company can’t stop them!
Ma Wenteng, Ma Liyun and Li Yanhong looked embarrassed.
Overtime pay?
What is that?
"Mr. Chen, do the employees of Senlian Capital need to work overtime?" The host asked with a smile when he saw that the atmosphere was a bit dull.
"Yes, I don't deny that." Chen Yansen replied.
The host immediately understood that since Chen Yansen had the confidence to make the call, it meant that he definitely paid overtime pay in accordance with the Labor Law.
Given the intensity of Internet work, including overtime pay, the monthly salary doubles.
At first glance, the basic salaries of companies such as Orange Technology, Pinbei Mall, Today Technology and Byte Technology are only ranked above average in the industry, but after adding quarterly bonuses and overtime pay, the gap between them and BAT is instantly widened.
"Mr. Chen, Orange Pay has launched Yu'ebao, payment code and transfer functions one after another, and does not charge service fees. This is seen as a challenge to the banking industry. What do you really think?"
The host also realized that Chen Yansen was the king of topics.
"Orange Pay's services such as transfer, Yu'ebao, and payment codes all rely on the banking industry's infrastructure. Orange Pay does not challenge the idea of banks and the financial industry. We are in a cooperative relationship. The injection of Internet genes will bring better development to the entire industry."
Chen Yansen would not be fooled and responded perfectly.
Some words can be said but cannot be done, and some things can be done but cannot be said.
There is no benefit at all for Senlian Capital to go after the banks.
If there are enough benefits, Chen Yansen doesn't mind being a turret and being a passionate young man.
But his mental age is approaching forty, and Mr. Chen is very clear that some cannons can be fired and some cannot.
"He's so smart and doesn't look like a 21-year-old." Yuan Ruili muttered in the audience.
At the following 'BATS' Big Four exchange meeting, the lead fell into the hands of Chen Yansen.
His speech seemed bold, but it revealed calmness and sophistication.
In short, it not only elevates itself and crushes its peers, but also pleases users and caters to the upper class.
The speaking level is superb!
Many people suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Chen Yansen in astonishment.
Has this person been reading "The Art of Thick Black", "Zizhi Tongjian" and "Game Theory" since he was born?
You said this person is a junior?
Although many people unconsciously overestimated Chen Yansen's IQ and EQ due to his business achievements, they ultimately found that they still underestimated him.
Time flies, and soon it is twelve o'clock noon.
The exchange meeting ended successfully, and representatives from various industries gave speeches in the afternoon.
The two hours in between are for rest and lunch.
As soon as Chen Yansen entered the banquet hall, dozens of eyes looked at him with unfriendly expressions.
“Mr. Chen, you had a great time scolding people this morning, but you also offended all your IT colleagues in Shenzhen.” Ma Wenteng sighed and reminded in a low voice.
"I know what's going on."
Chen Yansen said indifferently.
He is similar to Xiao Ma Ge. As he enters more and more industries, it is normal for him to be envied.
Instead of letting these people curse him behind his back, it would be better for him to fire first and enjoy himself later.
"Let me introduce you to some new friends."
Ma Wenteng smiled and pulled Chen Yansen deeper into the banquet hall.
Chen Yansen doesn't care, so what should he worry about?
With the help of Pony Ma, Chen Yansen exchanged greetings with the bosses of BYD, New Asia, Huaji and other groups one by one.
With Ma Wenteng around, there is no circle he cannot fit into. The nicknames of Shenzhen Local Tiger and Nanshan Pizza Hut are well-known and their achievements are verifiable.
Even though Zhou Hongyi kept teasing Ma Wenteng on Weibo all day long, he still obediently paid 5 million to Penguin.
The outcome of the 3Q war seems to be that Penguin lost face, but 360 lost both face and substance.
Penguin Security Manager's market share is rising steadily!
at the same time.
Chen Yansen's speech at the 'IT Leadership Summit' quickly became a hot topic after being reported by the media.
Search terms such as 'Hou Lang', 'Senlian Capital rental subsidy', and 'Give overtime pay back to young people' are prominently listed among the hot news.
"As expected of a self-made boss with a net worth of tens of billions, he is willing to speak up for young people."
"Mr. Chen's father runs a small bookstore. He is an ordinary person like everyone else. He can empathize with young people."
"Fuck! I'll only buy Orange phones from now on!"
“Are the rental subsidies and overtime pay real?”
"I am a fast food delivery man. I swear on my life that Chen Yansen has not told a single lie."
"I am a Yunsu courier. The company pays for social security, accident insurance, third-party liability insurance and supplementary commercial insurance. Everyone is provided with housing subsidies and overtime pay."
"I work at the Orange Mobile Phone Factory in Luzhou. Food and lodging are provided, and overtime pay is calculated by the minute. My biggest wish in this life is to work for Mr. Chen again in my next life!"
Although there were doubts in the comment section, they were quickly drowned out by the voices of the grassroots employees of Senlian Capital.
The sales of Qingcheng D2, Orange C3S and Yaocheng X1 skyrocketed!
The download volume of products such as Kuaipao, Yunsu, Gaode, Toutiao and Lingxi Browser also saw a slight increase.
Chen Yansen achieved his goal!
With just a few words, the image of the group was established!
In a subtle way, countless potential customers have been cultivated for Senlian Capital.
This group of people may not have the money to support Senlian Capital now, but one day, it will be transformed into amazing purchasing power.
Users will grow!
