Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

When Lei Yijun learned that the Orange Mobile Phone’s sales had broken 1.2 million units, he couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath.

He understood that Xiaomi would either have to ride this tailwind and soar, or become Orange’s sacrificial lamb, reduced to a mere foil.

”That kid is ruthless. Right after leaving the Xiaomi R&D center, he went and founded Orange Technology. Tsk, tsk, tsk.”

Zhou Hongyi, who was sitting opposite Lei Yijun, commented with a shake of his head.

”The market is huge, and I can’t stop others from making phones. Fortunately, Chen Yansen seems like a good person. It’s better to have one more friend than one more enemy. If 360 decided to make a phone, would I turn against you?”

Lei Yijun said magnanimously.

”Really?”

Zhou Hongyi asked subconsciously. Seeing Chen Yansen’s great success, he too was starting to entertain the idea of entering the mobile phone industry.

’A 19-year-old college student, whose previous business was in the completely unrelated e-commerce industry, managed to succeed. Why can’t I, Lao Zhou, do the same?’

”...”

Lei Yijun stared at Zhou Hongyi, as if trying to determine whether he was being serious.

”Lao Zhou, you...”

After a long moment, Lei Yijun asked.

”Just kidding, you didn’t actually take me seriously, did you?” Zhou Hongyi laughed it off, brushing the comment aside.
