Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

Song Yuncheng had dealt with many of the Group Buy channel managers, but this was the first time she had met the actual bosses.

They chatted about the results of the campaigns in April and May, then discussed the Group Buy business schedule for the second half of the year.

A few of the bosses who had just secured funding were not shy with their offers.

The boss of WoWo Group casually threw out the number ”40 million,” stunning everyone else, who silently cursed the bastard for being insane.

He dared to be so extravagant right after receiving a 200 million US Dollar investment from CDH Investments and Tianyou Capital.

Chen Yansen smiled and praised, ”President Wang has a good eye.”

The moment he turned his head, he cursed, ’Dumbass,’ and instructed Gao Weilin, ”In the future, when you run into entrepreneurs like this, stay as far away as you can.”

”Understood, boss.” Gao Weilin hastily replied.

He just thought the Mainland bosses were too extravagant, willing to pay the astronomical price of 40 million for just two online sales campaigns.

As soon as they finished discussing the collaboration, Liu Qiangdong came over and pulled him along to meet Zhang Lei from Gao Ling. They got into a car and headed straight for the largest private club nearby.

Gao Weilin followed of his own accord. Chen Yansen told Song Yuncheng to go back to the hotel first.

The upcoming venue was not suitable for her.

Just as he expected, as soon as he entered the private room, he saw two girls in gauzy, ancient-style dresses dancing barefoot on a small stage.

Their figures were graceful; they were clearly professionals.

Besides Gao Ling’s Zhang Lei and Liu Qiangdong, the general manager of Blue Moon’s online business was also in the room.

The four of them weren’t drinking, but had gathered to talk about a collaboration.

A distributor under Blue Moon had worked with FoxTao twice. The second time, they were discovered by the brand, triggering a price control rule violation and a warning.

The helpless distributor compensated FoxTao, and the branded Group Buy was temporarily taken offline, which affected the user experience.

Finding it troublesome, Chen Yansen had the Investment Attraction department only work with brands like Tide, Ariel, and Liby, kicking Blue Moon off the partner list.

As a result, over the next few months, these three brands would run a branded Group Buy on FoxTao one week and be on Juhuasuan the next, completely devastating Blue Moon’s online sales.

And so, using their connection with Handsome Dong and Zhang Lei, Blue Moon had proactively come to them, wanting to discuss an exclusive collaboration. They opened with an offer of a 10-million-level campaign.

Chen Yansen smiled, using tea in place of wine, and clinked glasses with the other party.

He wasn’t the type to give up on making money just to be petty. Besides, the issue with Blue Moon wasn’t even a minor disagreement.

Liu Qiangdong was the same, directly proposing a 30 million spending budget. He planned to deliver eye-catching results for the 618 shopping festival to justify things to his investors.

After all, Jingdong operated on a heavy-asset model. They had tens of thousands of delivery drivers alone, for whom they had to pay social insurance and housing funds. Profitability was a distant dream, so they could only use sales figures to appease investors.

Chen Yansen naturally agreed to it all, smiling as he promised to give Jingdong preferential treatment with traffic resources.

Liu Qiangdong nodded in satisfaction, feeling that this little brother from Huian was a stand-up guy who valued loyalty.

Ignoring Zhang Lei’s attempts to stop him, he insisted on opening a bottle of Moutai, and the group started drinking again.

As for the matter of directing more traffic to Jingdong, that was just drunk talk from before the drinking started; it couldn’t be taken seriously.

Chen Yansen would do as much work as Handsome Dong paid him for.

He knew full well that once Liu Qiangdong made Jingdong big enough, he would absolutely turn around and stab him in the back.

After three rounds of drinks, the group dispersed.

Chen Yansen and Gao Weilin were driven back to the hotel by Liu Qiangdong’s driver.

Then, the two went back to their respective rooms.

Gao Weilin first called an old classmate who worked at Lotte Investment. After the call, he intended to find Chen Yansen to report the situation, but after knocking on the door for a long time, there was no response.
