Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

Chen Yansen nodded slightly, tacitly approving Huang Zheng’s suggestion.

For Pinbei, a partnership with Apple would be mutually beneficial. He had no reason to refuse.

After all, Apple had shipped 21 million phones domestically last year, with revenues breaking 100 billion Hua Yuan. The brand was a traffic magnet.

”KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK—!”

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Huang Zheng immediately stepped forward and opened the frosted glass door of the meeting room.

Chen Yansen rose smoothly to his feet, a faint smile on his face. He extended his right hand and said, ”President Ge, welcome to Orange Technology!”

He was a full head taller than Ge Yue, and he sized her up from his superior height.

She was around forty, dressed in a Chanel business suit, and maintained a constant, pleasant smile. Her makeup was slightly Western in style.

Ge Yue’s eyes lit up the moment she saw Chen Yansen.

’He has an upright posture, around six-foot-one, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His eyes are deep and bright. He’s even more handsome in person than in his photos.’

”President Chen, I’ve heard so much about you. Thank you for making the time,” Ge Yue said, shaking Chen Yansen’s hand, her face wreathed in a smile.

”Please, have a seat,” Chen Yansen said, gesturing with his hand.

Ge Yue led her team of eight to their seats, sitting directly across from Chen Yansen, Huang Zheng, and Zhou Shouzhi.

”President Chen, I’ll be direct. I’m visiting your company today for two main reasons. First, to purchase the architectural license for the Orange Z1 Instruction Set. Second, to join the Pinbei platform and open an official Apple flagship store.”

Ge Yue got straight to the point, dispensing with any beating around the bush.

Before her trip, she had made a point of studying Chen Yansen’s personality and negotiation style. She knew he preferred direct and efficient communication, which was why she was stating her purpose right at the outset.

”The licensing for the Orange Z1 Instruction Set architecture consists of two parts: a one-time fee of three million US dollars and a 0.5% royalty.”
