Reborn: Billionaire in College

Huang Ru looked at the private plane in front of her and was completely stunned.

She never expected that Chen Pingjiang would use such an expensive private jet to pick her up in such a grand manner.

"Isn't this too expensive? I heard that a private jet flight costs 200,000 or 300,000 yuan? A round trip would cost 500,000 yuan."

Luo Wentao smiled implicitly, "It's nothing. Director Chen specifically told me to make you feel at home."

Even though she had already achieved a certain degree of financial freedom, Huang Ru usually only traveled in first class. This was her first time on a private jet.

Once inside the cabin, the beautiful stewardess provided considerate service with a smile.

In just an hour and a half, the plane landed smoothly at Dongjiang International Airport.

"Are we going to see Mr. Chen now?" Huang Ru asked curiously after getting in the car.

Luo Wentao: "Mr. Chen means that Academician Huang, you should have a good rest today. The company has rented two houses for you, one in Xianlin and one near the company."

Huang Ru was very grateful for this courtesy that took both face and money into consideration, and she also understood why Chen Pingjiang's company was able to grow so big.

With a boss like this, any subordinate would think highly of him, right?

If you have superb means of managing your subordinates, and perfect rules and regulations and work processes, you can indeed run a large company smoothly without having to show up.

……

……

Hangzhou, Alibaba.

Lao Ma held in his hand the data of Taobao and Tmall from last month, and the expression on his face was quite interesting.

“Is this number correct?”

Jiang Fan nodded, "We checked it three times, and it's correct."

After a long while, Lao Ma smiled helplessly, "To be honest, if the big banner of Alibaba did not allow us to do this, I really want to throw myself into Chen Pingjiang's arms. This is too good to be true!"

Last quarter, sales on e-commerce platforms increased by ten percent from the original level.

This is a rather exaggerated number for an e-commerce group of Alibaba's size.

After thinking for a while, he added: "Although this candy is sweet, we should not forget to develop our own strength. Since short videos are so effective, I think we can also vigorously develop them and let users buy while watching. This may be an opportunity in the future."

Since Douyin launched the "shared yellow car" function, it has cooperated with Taobao through the external link jump mode. After users click on the product link, they will directly jump to Taobao to complete the purchase.

This cooperation has brought a large amount of accurate traffic from Douyin to Taobao, increased the exposure and order volume of platform products, and directly brought incremental users and sales conversions to Taobao merchants.

Friends who have worked on Taobao or Tmall know that nowadays the natural traffic of the Taobao system is almost non-existent, and all traffic must be obtained through paid through-train.

Merchants are caught in a vicious circle. Without paid promotion, there will be no traffic, and the products will not sell. If they don’t sell, there will be no money to pay.

vice versa.

Paid through trains take up a large amount of marketing budgets, causing merchants’ costs to double and making operations very difficult.

Now there are more new options. Merchants can cooperate with Douyin content anchors, which is a new opportunity.

To give a simple example, if you make a product introduction in the video, when users see it, they will be interested in buying it.

Outsiders don’t know its true power, but insiders know it all too well.

Once a product recommendation video goes viral, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people will watch it.

If the conversion rate is 100 to 1, it means tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of orders.

Directly helped a new store complete the entire process of putting new products on the shelves and increasing sales.

This shows how terrifying Douyin’s shared bikes are.

Such traffic almost made Lao Ma envious.

Jiang Fan nodded with emotion, "We have already tried to explore this and added a shopping channel where users can shop by watching videos."

Zhang Yong on the other side said: "Content seeding, e-commerce pulling out, forming a perfect closed loop. After seeing the power of Douyin, I tried to get in touch with Kuaishou, but the other party said that they had no demand for financing for the time being."

Lao Ma laughed, "They are calm. They have the first-mover advantage, but after being overtaken by Douyin step by step, they are not anxious and do not market. They are really Buddhist. But we have to admit that they are right to do so. Even we have been defeated by Chen Pingjiang time and time again. Kuaishou really has no chance."

Jiang Fan: "Now, the topic of Douyin doing e-commerce is definitely no longer a false proposition. If I were Zhang Yiming, after seeing such good results, I would definitely promote my own e-commerce closed loop at all costs and make the best use of it."

No one here is stupid!
They can naturally foresee the next development of TikTok.

No company is willing to give away such a piece of fat meat.

Lao Ma sighed, "It's raining and my mother is getting married. We can't stop it, nor can we join in. We can only develop our own short videos on our own."

Having said that, Lao Ma is also very clear that with the existence of Tik Tok and Kuaishou on the market, there is almost no room for a third pure short video APP.

Even if Alibaba makes short videos, they are embedded in Alipay or Taobao to provide services for e-commerce. There is still a clear difference between this and video apps like Douyin.

If Alibaba were given a chance, they would be willing to buy TikTok at all costs, but unfortunately they don't have this opportunity.

Peng Lei, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Boss Ma, how about I find a chance to visit Chen Pingjiang?"

Ma Yun raised an eyebrow, a little confused by the suggestion, "How do you say it?"

Peng Lei thought about it and said, "With the final implementation of Douyin's e-commerce layout, the domestic Internet ecosystem has been completely opened up by Chen Pingjiang. His company and business are in every link. I personally think we can have more contact with them and explore the possibility of cooperation."

In an instant, the breathing sounds in the conference room became quieter.

All the participants were shocked. It was understandable if others said this, but how could Peng Lei, the head of Alipay, say this?
Alipay and WeChat Pay are still fighting every day?

Such remarks are no different from surrender.

As one of the top three domestic Internet companies, Alibaba is itself a big banner with countless companies and partners under it.

Now Peng Lei's implicit meaning is to shake hands with Chen Pingjiang and discuss cooperation!
In this case, will the prestige of the giants still be maintained?

"Well, let me think about it." Lao Ma wanted to scold Peng Lei, but he changed his mind when the words came to his lips.

Because he thought of Tencent.

Isn't that a giant too?
Although life was very difficult for a while due to being squeezed out by Chen Pingjiang, he finally got through it with the help of Chen Pingjiang.

The current domestic Internet landscape has shown a one-sided trend. If Alibaba, Tencent and Baidu are called giants, then wouldn’t Chen Pingjiang’s side be a behemoth?
……

……

"Haha, Academician Huang, welcome, welcome." Chen Pingjiang smiled and shook hands with Huang Ru, "Please take a seat."

"Oh, okay, thank you, Mr. Chen."

The more Huang Ru got to know Chen Pingjiang, the more interested she became in this richest man, and the more she admired him. Not only had he built such a big career at the age of less than 30, but he was also so humble and kind without being anxious, which was really commendable.

"Mr. Chen, I'm here to report today."

Chen Pingjiang nodded. "There is a liaison officer in the organizing committee of Huaxia University. She is a girl named Xiao Zheng. She will follow you and serve as your secretary, running errands on weekdays."

Huang Ru did not refuse and thought it would be nice to have such a person.

After all, I employed masters and doctoral students at Peking University. Now that I’m in Dongjiang, I’m really not used to not having anyone under me.

"Now that Academician Huang is here, my burden is much lighter, and you can push forward many things." Chen Pingjiang paused and continued, "You will lead the preparatory committee in the future, which will have talents from all walks of life. There are three main things to do next. First, determine the design bidding plan as soon as possible, start construction quickly, and strive to complete the main campus of the university within two years. Second, you make a list and let the people below recruit people, both domestic and foreign, full-time and part-time. Third, I need you to use your connections to negotiate with several universities for joint postgraduate education."

To be honest, these things are not very difficult, they are just tedious.

After all, Huang Ru now has too many good cards in her hand.

Four 2s, with big and small kings!
With 100 billion yuan in preparation funds, what kind of well-known scholars can't be poached? What kind of cooperation projects can't be negotiated?
At this point, Huang Ru finally understood Chen Pingjiang’s only request - hurry!

Of course, even if it is fast, it must be built on a "good" foundation.

Hua Xia University’s educational goals and positioning are very clear, and its financial support is sufficient.

What Huang Ru will do next is to attract the world's top faculty, conduct global recruitment, and attract world-class scientists, scholars and educational administrators to join, so as to enhance the school's academic reputation.

Attracting these people requires more than just money.

In addition to competitive salaries, scientific research funding and living security are also important.

Why did a bunch of scholars come to China around 24 years ago?
The reason in the final analysis is that they cannot get funding for scientific research abroad. For scholars, this is even more painful than killing them.

In addition, Hua Xia University also needs to establish cooperative relationships with world-class universities and research institutions to carry out joint training, academic exchanges and scientific research cooperation.

It is not advisable to work in isolation.

……

……

After finishing his conversation with Huang Ru, Chen Pingjiang deliberately got off work early.

Today, Ge Mengshi agreed to take the two little ones, Chen Yu and Ge Zichen, on a parent-child trip to make up for the long-term lack of fatherly love.

As for the location, it can only be the backyard of the villa.

It just so happened that he was also sending Yan Yan to Heshi to accompany his father-in-law Yan Liming. It was said that Yan Liming missed his eldest grandson.

When Chen Pingjiang arrived and saw the situation, his scalp suddenly went numb and he almost wanted to run away.

Seeing him like this, Ge Mengshi couldn't stop smiling.

"I didn't expect that there would be a time when you were afraid. Sisters, you can't let him go."

In the backyard, there were not only Ge Mengshi and the children, but unexpectedly Cong Nini and Zhang Xinyue also brought their little ones.

"Dad, Daddy!"

"Baba!"

When the children saw their father, they immediately ran over chattering.

"He's my dad!"

"He's also my dad, not your dad."

Seeing this scene, Chen Pingjiang was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He quickly picked up one in each hand and pulled one on each leg by the trouser seam.

"Why are you all here?"

Zhang Xinyue's eyes curved into crescents, "You haven't seen me for so long, why can't I come to see you?"

Cong Nini quickly came over with a sausage and fed Chen Pingjiang a bite affectionately.

Ge Mengshi smiled and said, "Today is our family's big reunion, how can you, the head of the family, not be here?"

Chen Pingjiang nodded, pointed in the direction of the villa, and asked: "Your parents..."

"I arranged for them to go on a trip, and the nannies have all been given a holiday. We are the only ones left in the villa. Nini and Xinyue will not leave tonight and will sleep here."

Chen Pingjiang: “…”

After a long time, he gave Ge Mengshi a thumbs up.

Although today's arrangement was a bit sudden, it definitely helped him a lot.

I would never have dared to imagine such a situation before, but I didn’t expect it to become a reality.

After a brief period of discomfort when he first arrived, Chen Pingjiang quickly got into the mood and started playing with the four little ones.

They had a lot of fun playing on the slide and playing tag.

Looking at Chen Pingjiang laughing happily in the distance, Cong Nini said with emotion: "Sister Mengshi, I admire you more and more now. You are the only one who knows what he wants. I have never seen him laugh so happily and look so relaxed."

Zhang Xinyue nodded in agreement, and the figure of the young man in her memory and Chen Pingjiang in front of her slowly overlapped.

Ge Mengshi: "He likes to keep a lot of things to himself. He is very busy and stressed at work on weekdays, so he rarely has such happy days."

Cong Nini continued, "Yes, my dad said that rich people are happy every day, but I don't think that's the case with Pingjiang. Although he is rich, he can't spend all of it, and he doesn't have a strong desire for material things. It's hard for him to even satisfy his entertainment needs. I don't need to think to know that he must have very few close friends around him, and most of them are subordinates who are in awe of him. In addition, he is so famous that he can be photographed walking on the street and posted online, and then it will cause a sensation. To be honest, I don't want to live this kind of rich life."

After playing with a group of little ones for a long time, Chen Pingjiang had a great time, but soon he couldn't laugh anymore.

The chattering of the four kids is so scary, and what’s even scarier is that they’d say “I want to poop” from time to time!
The old father was really worried about them. He took them to the toilet one by one and helped check whether their butts were wiped clean.

After meeting two or three times, the four little guys have become quite familiar with each other. They call each other brothers and sisters, and their personalities are very different.

Chen Yu is naturally the leader of the kids, no doubt about it.

The kids in kindergarten are all well behaved, let alone these little kids at home.

Zhang Xinyue's daughter Chen Yi always sticks to her father for hugs and is a little bit arrogant.

As for Cong Nini's son Chen Jiayi, he was probably spoiled by his own mother and has a dull and stupid personality.

The one who is slightly normal is Ge Zichen.

While washing hands, Cong Nini came up quietly, her eyes wandering back and forth on Chen Pingjiang's face, and whispered seductively: "Husband, come to my room tonight?"

Chen Pingjiang smiled knowingly and silently made an "OK" gesture. Then he heard Cong Nini continue to say, "Can I sleep with Zhang Xinyue tonight?"

For a moment, Chen Pingjiang's mind was full of thoughts. (End of this chapter)
