Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

This time, he didn’t want to compete head-on with Orange Technology. If all the customers in the same price range bought the Orange Mobile Phone, how was Xiaomi supposed to sell anything?

If the new Orange Mobile Phone was priced at 2,999 yuan, he would continue to focus on the 1,999 yuan market and launch a 1,499 yuan model in hopes of capturing a larger market share.

Not long after Lei Yijun entered with Li Wanqiang, Chen Yongming from OPPO and Huang Zhang from Meizu also walked into the conference hall one after another.

Huang Zhang shot Lei Yijun an icy glance, ignored him completely, and led his assistant to their seats.

Ye Qiuping, Wang Teng, and others were on the ground floor, responsible for greeting the guests.

When Chen Yansen arrived, he happened to see Yu Chendong of Huawei heading inside.

At the last launch event, Huawei hadn’t paid Orange Technology any mind at all. But just six months later, Orange Technology had shot up to fourth place on the smartphone sales charts with just a single product, naturally garnering their attention.

Yu Chendong had led his team all the way from Shencheng City to Xucheng specifically for this.

”President Chen, a pleasure! I’ve heard so much about you. It seems the young people from our Huian not only have a head for business but are also quite handsome.”

Yu Chendong said with a flattering smile.

He was also from Huian, making him a fellow townsman of Chen Yansen’s. He approached with a broad, warm smile, exuding an air of familiarity.

”You’re too kind, President Yu. Please, this way.”

Chen Yansen gave a faint smile and led Yu Chendong toward the elevators.

In 2012, Huawei had only been transitioning for two years. Under Yu Chendong’s leadership, its smartphone shipments had easily secured the number two spot in the market.

Although carrier-contract and customized phones accounted for half of that share, a shipment volume of over 20 million units was still a testament to Yu Chendong’s business acumen.

As they walked, Yu Chendong observed his fellow townsman. He was tall and carried himself well, with a calm and composed expression. ’No wonder he managed to build a ten-billion-yuan fortune before he was even twenty,’ he thought.
