Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

At a software outsourcing company in Yanjiao, Gu Zhijun put down his phone and curled his lip in disdain. He muttered under his breath, ”Who does he think he is, acting all high and mighty with no money? It was only 90,000, and I only made 60,000 off it. Does he want to bleed me dry?”

After he finished, he called the freelance engineer responsible for the project. ”Teacher Zhou, what is this piece of crap you developed? I just got an earful from the client because of it. I sent the revision requests to your email. If this happens again, I’m not sending any more work your way.”

”Boss Gu, you can’t blame it all on me. You only gave me a month. It’s a miracle I managed to build anything at all,” Teacher Zhou quickly explained.

”I don’t care. You have another thirty days. If the client isn’t satisfied, you can forget about your final payment,” Gu Zhijun threatened.

’Son of a bitch!’

Teacher Zhou cursed inwardly. He turned, went back to his classroom, and called a few students to his office to fix the bugs.

Cheng Wei was completely unaware that the DiDi Dache software he had pinned his hopes on was actually coded by a vocational school teacher from Qilu with the help of a few amateur students.

Cheng Weixing, armed with an authorization letter from the Transportation Association, had gone directly to the heads of the Central North, Dongfang, Dajian, and Ruijin taxi companies. He slipped them a promotional fee and easily onboarded over 4,000 full-time ride-hailing drivers.

This was the main reason Chen Yansen had insisted on bringing in Huake Investment Attraction. A top-down approach could solve the problem of driver shortages in a very short amount of time.

A bottom-up approach, on the other hand, was much harder.

First, did the taxi drivers even have smartphones?

Second, would they be willing to download the app?
