In the past, he’d failed because he lacked capital and orders—in plain terms, he had no powerful backer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he’d aligned with Chen Yansen, he had neither money nor business shortages—if he still failed, he’d quit on his own before Chen even opened his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen’s days returned to the cycle of reading, designing Pinnbei product architectures, and conducting interviews.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Wang Xueting’s earlier mention, Xiong Li and Zhang Junjie joined successively, followed by six dedicated HR specialists to assist them in Pinnbei’s recruitment efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the HR department’s framework was established, recruitment accelerated noticeably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By late October, Pinnbei Tech’s employee count rose from 14 to over 70.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To minimize trial-and-error costs, Chen Yansen focused recruitment primarily on Taobao, Jingdong, Yihaodian, Yixun, and Suning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Old Ma had said he enjoyed supplying society with top talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen could poach a few more—he doubted the man would mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiong Li, recruited from Jingdong, specifically targeted former colleagues, since Jingdong’s compensation in the e-commerce giant tier was mediocre at best—poaching was always successful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after meeting him did Chen Yansen realize Xiong Li was actually a strikingly beautiful woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet within four years at Jingdong, she rose to head of recruitment—her capability was evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Junjie, who defected from Suning, simply told his former department’s frontend and backend developers, “Pinnbei pays overtime according to labor law,” and immediately attracted over twenty engineers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On their first day of onboarding training, one item was learning the internal referral positions and bonus rules:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sales positions: successful referral, after three months of employment, bonus of 5,000 yuan;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Design positions: bonus of 5,000 yuan;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Category positions: bonus of 8,000 yuan;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Product positions: bonus of 10,000 yuan;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Technical positions: bonus of 10,000 to 15,000 yuan depending on role;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several sharp-witted new hires immediately pulled out their phones to contact former colleagues, casually hinting at Pinnbei’s benefits during idle chatter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah, yeah, I just joined—new company pay’s average, and we’re always working overtime, dead tired. Last Saturday I worked a full day and got only 2,200 yuan in overtime pay—pathetic.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?! You said how much? Your salary jumped to 40,000?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nope! Weekend overtime is double pay—I’m only paid 15,000 base, but this month, with overtime, I’ll clear about 30,000 before tax.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you crazy? Sleeping at the office every day?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This company has a six-hour workday—anything beyond counts as overtime, weekdays paid at 1.5x.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh right, what’s the company name again?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this way, a backend developer who’d only been hired days ago ended up recruiting all his former colleagues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three months later, he alone earned over 100,000 yuan in referral bonuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The day after Liao Wei returned to Yancheng, Zhou Shouzhi called to say DST’s boss, Yuri, wanted to visit Orange Tech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen then remembered that since he’d rejected Zhou Shouzhi’s 36-billion-yuan valuation offer, the man hadn’t contacted him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d assumed Zhou Shouzhi had given up—never expected he’d brought Yuri himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen knew little about Yuri, only that he was DST’s founder, a super-rich man from North Ice Country, and in his past life, a major investor in Xiaomi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after comparing Orange Tech with Xiaomi, Yuri and Zhou Shouzhi clearly favored Orange Tech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after Xiaomi’s phones flooded the market and received poor user feedback, Yuri weighed his options and decided to abandon Xiaomi, turning his attention to Orange Tech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen didn’t hesitate—he readily agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>DST’s supply chain advantages intrigued him; though he could have Zu Hongyu negotiate partnerships individually, Orange Tech’s current procurement scale couldn’t secure the best prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After setting the visit date with Zhou Shouzhi, he handed reception arrangements to Ye Qiuping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Liao Wei returned to Yancheng, he ordered Yunsu Express’s finance and data departments to compile materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later, Yunsu and Senlian Capital began negotiations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just one day, both sides agreed on an acquisition price of 260 million yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In reality, Yunsu’s fixed assets consisted of only 100 heavy trucks, 300 medium trucks, 17 distribution hubs, 9 regional transit centers, and 4,300 employees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Weilin personally traveled to Yancheng to complete the acquisition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In investment circles, a 260-million-yuan acquisition caused no ripple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the courier industry, Yunsu had always been obscure; its acquisition drew no attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yunsu’s employees, upon hearing their new boss was Chen Yansen of Orange Tech, immediately felt hopeful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, whether Orange Tech or the Orange Phone Factory, their benefits were famously excellent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen’s first task for Liao Wei was to convert franchisees and courier stations into Yunsu’s direct operations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In plain terms, all Yunsu employees must not sign third-party contracts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five insurances and one fund, monthly 20% base-salary housing subsidy, commissions, and bonuses—all must be provided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, this will at least double our monthly labor costs,” Liao Wei cautiously reminded over the phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For now, I don’t expect Yunsu to turn a profit immediately—first, keep your people fed. These people brave wind and rain every day—do you have the heart to see them old and destitute with no safety net?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen demanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a direct reference to Liao Wei’s past failure to pay five insurances and one fund for couriers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, everyone in the industry does this—except SF Express, Jingdong, and Bond,” Liao Wei defended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just because everyone does it doesn’t make it right,” Chen Yansen’s tone turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, I’m wrong—give me a week, I’ll fix everything,” Liao Wei, sensing Chen’s displeasure, quickly agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that Chen Yansen wanted to be charitable—he knew Liao Wei, that bastard, had dodged responsibility by registering couriers under another corporate entity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yunsu’s couriers were, in plain terms, all outsourced!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They got not a shred of human dignity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could tolerate not making money—but he couldn’t tolerate denying them human dignity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up, Liao Wei instructed the marketing department to communicate individually with station managers: either exit Yunsu, or convert to direct operation—future rent and staffing costs would be borne by headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a Yunsu courier station in Yanjiao,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning of Yunsu’s changes, the owner didn’t hesitate—he sold the station directly to headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, since joining Yunsu, he’d endured constant criticism—his wife blamed him, his parents scolded him, friends mocked him for being foolish, choosing Yunsu over the “Three Passes and One Reach.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to deliver and pick up packages daily, exhausted, earning only six or seven thousand a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The station had only two couriers—he couldn’t afford more, so to save money, he delivered packages himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the new policy was out, he didn’t think twice—he dumped the mess onto Yunsu headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sheng, so now my salary and Xiao Zhan’s will be paid by headquarters?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the station, a thirty-something man in a Yunsu courier uniform asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly! Heard the new boss is rich. After signing the contract, your base salary rises to 3,000 yuan, plus 20% of your salary as housing subsidy—that’s about 3,600 yuan total. Commissions for deliveries and pickups stay the same.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Sheng, smoking a cigarette, replied casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His own base salary dropped to 4,500 yuan, but he breathed easier—under Yunsu’s new policy, he’d still earn six or seven thousand monthly, with lighter work and less pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This boss is great—he raised our pay by 1,200 yuan right away,” said another courier, Xiao Zhan, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heard there’s also heat and cold subsidies and performance bonuses—we’ll know details in a few days. Pay’s up, but expectations are higher too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Sheng glanced at them, exhaled smoke, and said sternly: “From now on, packages must be delivered to the door. If customers complain, you’ll be fined or fired—watch yourselves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Sheng knew all too well how Yunsu Express used to operate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One phone call, if unreachable, just dump packages at the building entrance or front desk—no responsibility for lost items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deliver to the door? Don’t even dream of it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Deliver to the door? I used to leave them with the guard.” The older courier looked troubled—he felt his pay rose but his workload increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Sheng smiled but said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Wei, while cleaning house, used the 500 million yuan injected by Senlian Capital to aggressively expand in the East China market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rented transit warehouses, opened courier stations, and accelerated courier recruitment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, he didn’t need to worry much about recruitment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Couriers from TianTian, Guofeng, and Yunda, hearing Yunsu offered a 3,600-yuan base salary, five insurances and one fund, bonus subsidies, and order-pushing rewards, immediately jumped ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, they had no choice—now with better options, they fled fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, couriers from the “Three Passes and One Reach” began slowly draining away—resignations were everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen, upon hearing this, was speechless—he’d set Yunsu’s base salary low, even without overtime pay, yet it proved wildly attractive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d thought he himself was ruthless enough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But compared to his peers, he now looked like a saint!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When other courier company bosses heard of Yunsu’s changes, they sneered, secretly cursing Chen Yansen for spending his first earnings foolishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The courier industry can’t be built by throwing money around!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Yansen didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, the courier company was a fast track to human dignity—he’d accept it as long as it didn’t lose money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, the courier company was a quick path to acquiring the torch of human compassion; as long as it didn’t lose money, he could accept it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is like JD.com’s strategy for books—they never expected books to be profitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, JD.com still has core categories like 3C digital goods, major appliances, and home goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But websites like Dangdang, which rely on books as their core business, are in trouble—JD’s no-profit approach can directly drive them into a corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen is doing something similar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Pinpei launches, he’ll hand over Orange Tech’s orders to Yunsu, and push Yunsu’s express delivery service to KA merchants—first lowering the minimum delivery fee to under three yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1715,"2026-06-19T19:17:18.227Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","587e85f8ac46cae8ab5d9b921926114bc7945141e6cbda91b343f3df99cc73a8","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-159","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-157",387,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-cover.jpg"]
