Stronger by Paying Salaries and I Have 1 Billion Employees

”Sir, the gold bar isn’t in the phone box,” the Cloud Speed delivery guy said with a smile.

For the past few days, the immediate reaction of every user who received a Yaocheng X1 was to vigorously shake the box.

”Oh! Then where is it?” the customer asked, laughing in embarrassment.

”You have to activate the phone and log in to the Aurora Future Store first. There’s a prize draw for new customers, limited to the device IDs of the first 100,000 phones purchased,” the delivery guy replied.

”Has anyone really won a gold bar?” the customer pressed.

”Of course! The gold bars are part of our delivery route, too. I just delivered one yesterday. And even if you don’t win a gold bar, it’s okay. Since you bought a Yaocheng X1, you’ll get 50 yuan in Pinbei shopping credit just for activating it. Plus, you get another 50 yuan for checking in seven days in a row.”

The delivery guy added.

This was a hidden benefit of Aurora Future OS. The Qingcheng D2 came with 20 yuan of Pinbei shopping credit, and the Orange C3S came with 60 yuan.

”A hundred yuan in shopping credit? So it’s like I got another hundred yuan off. Not bad at all.” The customer said his thanks and closed the door.

Ten minutes later, a surprised cheer erupted from inside the room.

Right in the center of the phone’s screen, a glittering gold bar was shining brilliantly.

For a while, Weibo and Toutiao were flooded with posts ”sharing” (i.e., flexing) their gold bar winnings.

The news that the Qingcheng D2, Orange C3S, and Yaocheng X1 came with built-in shopping credits also got out. Spurred by the promotion, sales for all three new models saw a slight increase.

「At the same time.」

After a discussion with Huang Zheng, Chen Yansen decided to build a paid membership system for Pinbei. The system would focus on benefits like coupons, member-exclusive discounts, and loyalty points, with the goal of increasing user retention and repeat purchases.

”We could consider a joint membership model,” Chen Yansen advised. ”We could bulk-purchase benefits from video streaming sites and integrate them into the Pinbei membership system.”

”Like the Penguin membership?” Huang Zheng confirmed.

”Exactly,” Chen Yansen replied.

It would be difficult to get users interested in a paid Pinbei membership through conventional means alone. However, by adding benefits for services like video and music streaming, Kuai Pao Maicai, and Fast Taxi, they could enhance the membership’s overall value.

Moreover, it would also drive additional traffic and orders to other businesses like Kuai Pao, Fast Taxi, and Ofo bikes, creating a complementary business ecosystem.

”Understood, Boss. I’ll go back and refine the proposal,” Huang Zheng said.

”Call it a day. We can get back to it tomorrow.”

Chen Yansen glanced at his watch. It was almost nine-thirty. He patted Huang Zheng’s shoulder and spoke.
