I can become stronger by paying salaries. I have one billion employees!

Chapter 64 [Seeking Follow-up Reading] 10 Billion Subsidy Pre-Launch (3.6K)

Chen Yansen naturally wouldn't be so bored as to ask the other party whether he could sing, dance and rap.

Xu Kun expressed himself fluently and logically, and he was also a major in e-commerce. Chen Yansen gave him an offer on the spot without hesitation.

"Come and register tomorrow, welcome to Fox Tao!"

Chen Yansen shook hands with him, smiled and walked him to the door, then called the second candidate.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry I didn't recognize you yesterday."

The person who came was Zhang Yifeng, whom I met at the basketball court last night. He scratched his head and looked honest.

"You weren't like this yesterday. Foxes don't pick honest people. I only want smart people."

Chen Yansen waved his hand, motioning him to sit down and chat.

"Then let me introduce myself first, Mr. Chen. I'm Zhang Yifeng, a 07 e-commerce graduate. I previously interned at Zunbao E-commerce for two months. The main categories I worked with were standard products, and I'm familiar with the Taobao platform. I'd like to apply for the product selection and operations position..."

Hearing Chen Yansen's teasing, Zhang Yifeng stopped pretending, straightened his expression, and spoke confidently.

"You have internship experience at Zunbao, so it shouldn't be difficult for you to get into a brand. Even if you can't get into Taobao or Yidong, Yixun or Newegg will be no problem. Why did you choose Fox Taobao?"

Chen Yansen stared at him and asked straight to the point.

"I want to make money! With my qualifications, it would be difficult to get a position above manager within three to five years, whether it's an agency operation or a comprehensive e-commerce platform. But FoxTao is different. It's in its takeoff phase and can give me more room for development."

Zhang Yifeng smiled softly, his tone sincere.

"It's human nature, I understand. Welcome to join FoxTao." Chen Yansen likes people who are honest and love money. Such people have clear goals and will work harder.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Zhang Yifeng said goodbye politely. After leaving, he left his contact information with Xu Xingxing.

The morning passed in a flash.

In addition to Xu Kun and Zhang Yifeng, Chen Yansen recruited several seniors majoring in e-commerce. In the end, he couldn't help but complain: "These bastards treat this as the first stop for the autumn recruitment."

In the next two days, he was busy with interviews and hired a senior student majoring in human resources to be in charge of personnel. Xu Xingxing became a member and team leader of the administrative team. The legal affairs department was handled by a business law teacher recommended by President Tang. The other groups were all supplemented with personnel.

The team members expanded to 42 people, which was not a small scale. At this time, nearly half of the office area on the second floor of the Entrepreneurship Park was used by FoxTao.

On November 5, Penguin’s 10 million yuan in financing finally arrived.

With the money, Chen Yansen felt more confident. Through Zhao Maolin's channels, he purchased a batch of Apple 4 mobile phones. On the 0-yuan bargaining event page, the products were more abundant, including refrigerators, televisions, ovens, bicycles, electric vehicles, etc.

The number of new users who register on FoxTao through the activity link every day is rising rapidly, with the highest number in a single day approaching 20.

Wang Zihao and his advertising team are also working hard, and the daily advertising budget of 10 is spent completely.

……

……

The next afternoon, Room 206 of the Entrepreneurship Park.

"Zihao, contact Zhao Maolin. We'll use China Telecom's SMS marketing channel. Before Double Eleven, we must send the link to the super red envelope to every Fox Tao user's phone."

Chen Yansen leaned against the table and gave instructions to Wang Zihao beside him.

"Okay, Brother Sen, Zhao Maolin's quote is 8 cents per piece. We can start the operation immediately after Hu Yun exports the user data." Wang Zihao nodded in response.

"Zhuang Rui, check the activation threshold of the super red envelope again. If something goes wrong here, we will all be in trouble."

Chen Yansen's tone was relaxed, but his expression was extremely solemn.

In 2010, Ali Baba had not yet launched the super red envelope game, but the Double Eleven promotion already existed, and Chen Yansen certainly would not miss this opportunity to make money.

他根据狐狸淘页面商品的佣金比例，让庄瑞设计了一款名为‘百亿补贴’的红包组合：满10减2×5、满100减8×5、满300减20×5、满500减30×5、满1000减60×5和满5000减80×5。

The rules are simple. Users can go to Taobao, Yidong or Paipai through FoxTao and buy a product worth 11.9 yuan. In addition to receiving the original rebate, they can also get an extra 2 yuan cash red envelope.

This tactic has become commonplace more than a decade later, but before the golden age of e-commerce, it was a crude and effective marketing method.

"Brother Sen, don't worry! I've discussed this with Wenbo, and we'll be launching a product filtering function tomorrow. Once a user's rebate plus subsidy red envelope amount exceeds the commission amount for purchasing a product, that product will not be displayed to the user."

Zhuang Rui raised his head and made an 'OK' gesture.

Chen Yansen nodded slightly and turned his attention to the operations team.

"Brother Sen, when it comes to product selection, we must strictly follow the gross profit margin requirements to ensure that there will be no negative gross profit." Chen Xu, Hu Li, Xu Kun, Zhang Yifeng and others quickly assured.

"Pengfei, you and Wenbo must finalize the development requirements. All products on the search pages must be filtered to control gross profit margins. I can not make money, but I absolutely cannot lose money. Do you understand?"

Chen Yansen patted Xiang Pengfei on the shoulder and reminded him again and again.

"Brother Sen, I will definitely not make any mistakes this time." Xiang Pengfei gritted his teeth and said firmly.

If there is any problem again, he will be too embarrassed to stay in Fox Tao anymore.

"Next week is the first time that Fox Tao will participate in the big promotion of the e-commerce platform. Whether we can eat meat or drink soup depends on you. Come on!" Chen Yansen smiled faintly and clenched his fist to encourage.

Everyone echoed loudly, their expressions excited, their eyes full of excitement.

"Young people are easier to fool. They are not like those old foxes in the company of my previous life. They will only risk their lives for you if you pay them salary and overtime pay!" Chen Yansen thought to himself.

However, with the 1000 million from Penguin, he readjusted the salary and benefits. The monthly income of Zhang Wenbo and others is also at an upper-middle level in the entire Hui'an Province.

Even though he hadn't mentioned overtime pay or bonuses, the group was still incredibly motivated. After the meeting, Chen Yansen went downstairs. He wanted to chat with Song Yang, but seeing him busy packing packages with his head down, he gave up the idea and walked out alone, strolling along Xuehai Road.

Shopping guide e-commerce is not high-end, but in 2010, it was too early to develop information apps or short videos, and the conditions were not mature. There were too many competitors for group buying, and the supporting facilities for takeout were insufficient. After repeated consideration, he finally went back to his old business, first sucking some blood from Ali, and then discussing the next step after he was full.

Fortunately, the early development was extremely smooth. Ma Wenteng's 1000 million helped him save at least half a year. With the support of Penguin, he was more likely to attract the attention of venture capital and also to attract a wave of natural traffic.

Coupled with his special status as a freshman, he was unknowingly hyped as a genius boy.

Eighteen years old, 1000 million in financing, and Ma Wenteng’s personal interviews, put all this together and it was explosive news.

When it comes to the rebate e-commerce model today, FoxTao has become the industry leader. Although some websites were established earlier than it, they are far behind in terms of the number of registered users and daily active users.

In a niche industry, the only person people remember is the number one!
Passing by dormitory building No. 8, Chen Yansen saw that the balcony light of room 8302 was on, so he walked in.

When I opened the door, I saw Tang Zhenzhe sitting on a chair, wearing headphones, staring intently at the computer screen.

Chen Yansen stepped forward and took a quick look. He saw that they were watching an educational film, so he cleared his throat and said, "Azhe, I didn't realize before that you really like studying."

Tang Zhenzhe was frightened by him, and his anger disappeared instantly. He asked in surprise, "Brother Sen, how did you get in?"

"It flew up from the balcony." Seeing the melon seeds on his table, Chen Yansen didn't hesitate to grab a handful and started to make up a story.

"I clearly remembered locking the door." Tang Zhenzhe was not stupid, so of course he didn't believe his nonsense. After a moment's thought, he realized that he had not locked the door. His old face turned red and he spoke with a puzzled look on his face.

"Song Yang opened a courier agency, why don't you go over and help?"

Chen Yansen asked casually while cracking melon seeds.

After Wang Zhengqiang went to the library with his schoolbag for a few days, he stopped acting. Reading was not as interesting as starting a business. In addition, Song Yang was short of staff, so the two of them exchanged glances and got together.

"Teacher Guo threw all the departmental chores onto me. I was so busy I couldn't even keep my feet off the ground. I finally found time to watch a movie and even forgot to lock the door."

Tang Zhenzhe hurriedly complained that his family's conditions were okay, but not rich. Seeing Meng Xibo become the customer service team leader at Fox Taodu, with a monthly income of more than 2,000 yuan, it would be a lie to say that he was not envious.

Being a class monitor was cool, and he easily became the vice-president of the student union that others were scrambling to join. He also had many opportunities to communicate with girls, but the key was that most of the pretty girls in the class were not interested in him.

He had been flirting with Su Meiling openly and secretly for a month, but her attitude was lukewarm. Later, he asked someone and found out that she had her eyes on Chen Yansen.

Compared with Chen Yansen, the title of squad leader is nothing!

Chen Yansen has many titles, including CEO of Senhai Technology, founder of FoxTao, entrepreneurial star of Xucheng College, and a business genius with an annual income of tens of millions.

He heard from Guo Dongchen that the department planned to award Chen Yansen the title of outstanding student and a first-class scholarship at the end of the year. This bastard couldn't even teach three classes in a month, and he was still being awarded an award. How could he be justified?

"This shows that Teacher Guo values ​​you. Do a good job." Chen Yansen teased him with a smile.

He knew Tang Zhenzhe's abilities. In his previous life, he was the channel director of a timber company, responsible for the Southeast Asian market. He stayed in Annan all year round and was very good at developing the market.

However, given FoxTao's current situation, it does not need business talent, so he did not invite Kent Tong to join.

"Did Song Yang tell you about the class team building tomorrow?" Tang Zhenzhe waved his hand and changed the subject.

"He didn't say where you guys are going for team building? He might have been too busy to remember. The number of users participating in FoxTao's 0-yuan bargaining has doubled, and now there are nearly 500 express deliveries every day. He's so busy that he can't hold on any longer." Chen Yansen said with a grin.

"Let's go to Delta Park and have an outdoor barbecue. I also borrowed a DV and three cameras from the equipment room teacher so we can take some pictures..."

Tang Zhenzhe spoke enthusiastically.

After hearing this, Chen Yansen smiled awkwardly. When he was campaigning for class monitor on behalf of Tang Zhenzhe, he promised to take the whole class to see a movie. However, Tang Zhenzhe didn't even go to the classroom, so he naturally couldn't fulfill his promise.

"I can't go! Taobao.com's Double Eleven starts next week, and I have to work overtime these two days." Chen Yansen shook his head and refused.

"Uh, okay." Tang Zhenzhe sighed and couldn't help asking, "Brother Sen, are you going to college to study or to do business?"

"What is the purpose of going to school?" Chen Yansen asked back.

"Find a good job and make more money." Tang Zhenzhe answered subconsciously.

"So, I chose to make money directly and avoid two years of detours." Chen Yansen said seriously.

"Then why did you come to college?" Tang Zhenzhe asked puzzledly.

"That's because college life is great!" Chen Yansen stood up and waved goodbye, replying in a leisurely tone.

His mentality is no longer young, but he can find the taste of youth in young girls.

……

……

In a residential building in Shanghai, a middle-aged man with a retro, slicked-back hairstyle asked his companion across from him, "Brother Zhong, FoxTao is growing too fast. Our search-based, B2C strategy might be a mistake."

"You mean, we should copy Fox Tao's model? But we don't have any money."

Gu Yaozhong frowned, looking embarrassed.

As one of the earliest pioneers in China to imitate Ebates, he worked hard for four years but still failed to attract the attention of venture capital.

And now an 18-year-old freshman, who just entered the market, got tens of millions of venture capital from Penguin. How?

"My classmate works at Thinking Capital. He's heard of our project. Maybe we can talk to him."

The greasy-haired man said seriously that if he couldn't get financing, he would have to give up the project.
