Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

Yu’e Bao, Lingqian Bao, and Yuli Bao—three e-payment tools—were constantly rolling out new promotions involving trial funds and instant rebate coupons in their battle for high-value users.

They copied each other without the slightest hesitation.

On the first day of March, the leaderboard for Orange Pay’s Yu’e Bao refreshed. The user in first place already had over 13 million.

”A net profit of 1800 a day, which is an annual income of 663,000 Hua Yuan. Turns out making a million a year is so simple—you just need to deposit 20 million in Yu’e Bao.”

”Okay, but let me ask you this: how do you make that first 20 million?”

”Whoa! The event has only been live for 18 hours and first place is already at 13 million. You don’t think they’ll break a hundred million by the end of March, do you?”

”Sorry for dragging everyone down. I’ve only got three yuan and change in my Yu’e Bao. That’s my breakfast money for tomorrow.”

The buzz on Weibo continued to grow. Combined with the gimmick of a chance to have lunch with Chen Yansen, keywords like ”Yu’e Bao” and ”10 Billion in Trial Funds” remained firmly in the top ten on the hot search list.

Chen Yansen couldn’t care less about any of this.

He knew full well that even if Penguin and Ah Li didn’t enter the fray, Orange Pay and Yu’e Bao would eventually face new competitors.

The pie for online payments and internet finance was simply too large; getting even a single slice was enough to be satisfied.

Being too greedy could make you burst!

Given the current trends, as the user bases of platforms like Kuai Pao, Fast Taxi, Pinbei, and Cloud Speed Express grew, Orange Pay’s user count would rise in tandem, even without any promotion.

Such was the advantage of having complementary businesses!

After a short meeting with Zhang Yinjia and the others, Chen Yansen returned to his office, plopped down on the sofa, and summoned his system panel.

He had a total of 237,071 wisps of Human Dao Fire from February. Including the unspent remainder from January, he could synthesize 24 wisps of Immortal Dao Fire.

In other words, Senlian Capital’s monthly labor costs were over two billion, approaching 30 billion Hua Yuan a year.

’Upgrade!’

With a single thought from Chen Yansen, a plume of black-purple mist materialized out of thin air and shot into the space between his eyebrows.

In just a few seconds, his Spirit attribute had risen to 100.38.

’It looks like a lot of Human Dao Fire, but it’s nowhere near enough.’

After the enhancement, President Chen felt completely unfazed.

Although he could feel the range of his Divine Sense and the maximum weight he could telekinetically control increasing, the growth was far too slow compared to his previous boosts.

This was mainly because the e-commerce and express delivery industries had yet to enter their golden age. Once the daily parcel volume for the entire industry surpassed 400 million, even if Cloud Speed only captured half the market, it would be handling 200 million parcels.

By then, the total number of Cloud Speed Couriers would need to expand to two million, contributing two million Human Dao Fire per month.

Furthermore, the food delivery and ride-hailing industries would also experience rapid growth.

When Kuai Pao had 1.5 million riders and Fast Taxi had 3 million drivers, those two industries would generate five million Human Dao Fire per month.

His strategic blueprint was sound, but due to limitations like transportation infrastructure, network coverage, and terminal devices, achieving his goal of ten million Human Dao Fire per month was still a few years away.

Since it was Friday, most employees began to leave the Science and Technology Park one after another as soon as it hit five o’clock, while the sky was still light.

Chen Yansen glanced out the window. A crescent moon had already risen above the treetops, casting a cold, clear glow.

The lush leaves of the birch trees appeared as indistinct shadows in the moonlight, swaying in the breeze.

He rubbed his stomach and glanced in the direction of the cafeteria.

The chef was skilled, but he couldn’t stand eating the same food every day. President Chen had long grown tired of it.

’Forget it. I’ll get something different.’

With this in mind, Chen Yansen sent a text to Master Ye, telling her to bring the Teletubbies cosplay outfit to the Delta and prepare dinner.

”Which one?” Ye Qiuping asked.

”The one with the least fabric,” Chen Yansen replied instantly.
