Is this a new game from Tencent?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a dorm room at a university in Lucheng, Wang Minghao held his phone, muttering to himself as he tapped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pinbei had seen a small surge in popularity in early October, but few paid attention—it hadn’t even launched yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three seconds later, an H5 micro-page loaded, displaying its first product: a 4-jin package of navel oranges, priced at just 5.9 yuan, with free shipping!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? So it’s an e-commerce site?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Minghao had bought things on Taobao before and wasn’t unfamiliar with e-commerce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing it wasn’t a game, he didn’t close the page; instead, he kept tapping, entering the product page to confirm whether the price was truly only 5.9 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the main image, he clicked “Buy,” and a pop-up window appeared to enter his delivery address; from the weight option, the 4-jin navel oranges were indeed only 5.9 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cardboard packaging, net weight 4 jin small fruit [fruit diameter 6–7 cm].”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Minghao measured with his fingers and thought the oranges looked pathetically small; he scrolled down further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cardboard packaging, net weight 3 jin small fruit [fruit diameter 7–8 cm].”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fruit was a bit larger, but one jin lighter, and the price rose to 8.9 yuan—still free shipping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll buy one box to try—it’s not much money anyway.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing the low price of 5.9 yuan, Wang Minghao didn’t overthink it; he skillfully entered his address, bound his bank card, activated Orange Pay, and transferred six yuan via online banking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ding! Congratulations on successful payment! Please share this product with other users to complete the group buy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this message, Wang Minghao froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After carefully studying the campaign page, he finally understood Pinbei’s mechanism: after placing an order, he had to invite friends to order too, or the platform wouldn’t ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder it was so cheap!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Minghao was annoyed, but he’d already entered his address, bound his online banking, and activated Orange Pay—the sunk cost was too high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hesitating, he still sent the group-buy link to his dorm group chat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“@Guys, help me group buy! We’ll eat it together when it arrives.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro, what’s this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn! These oranges are crazy cheap! I asked the fruit stall at campus gate yesterday—they charged four yuan per jin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“5.9 yuan for 4 jin with free shipping? Could this be a scam site?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His roommates were skeptical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In 2011, e-commerce wasn’t that cutthroat yet; 9.9 yuan with free shipping was already the upper limit most users could accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Official QQ campaign—probably helping farmers. Stop doubting and just group buy for me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Minghao urged in the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pinbei had no shopping cart; ordering was extremely simple. If Tencent hadn’t blocked Orange Pay integration, the checkout flow could’ve been even simpler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, one roommate completed the group buy with Wang Minghao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Minghao checked: the order was now in “Awaiting Shipment” status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I placed an order too—sending it to my mom. Who can help me group buy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, another roommate @ed others in the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Minghao didn’t look at his phone; he kept browsing the Pinbei interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the product waterfall, only filter buttons appeared: “Featured, Fresh Produce, Food, Home, Digital Appliances, Women’s Wear.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped into the Men’s Wear section; the first product was a Metersbonwe white T-shirt, with 37 styles, all priced at 19.9 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So cheap?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this real?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Skeptical, Wang Minghao clicked in; on the product details page, he clearly saw “Metersbonwe Official Flagship Store,” followed by a black-gold brand certification badge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One minute later, Wang Minghao posted another link in the dorm group: “Hurry! Metersbonwe base layer shirts 19.9 yuan, hoodies 26.9 yuan, work pants 39 yuan—group buy together!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The navigation bars of QQ’s PC client and WeChat’s mobile app both displayed the Pinbei entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ads for Pinbei appeared on the homepages of Sina Weibo, Tencent, NetEase, and Sohu News.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Group A: A box of fresh, juicy navel oranges, with bold text: “West Guangdong Navel Oranges, 4 jin, Free Shipping, Group Buy Price 5.9 Yuan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Group B: Metersbonwe men’s and women’s wear posters, with copy: “Buy Autumn Wear on Pinbei! Metersbonwe Brand Direct Discounts, Starting at Just 19.9 Yuan!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Group C: Orange Mobile direct price cuts, starting at just 1,989 yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zihao, using best-selling products provided by the Business Development team, created a total of 16 ad sets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First test on a small scale, then amplify the best-performing ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top carousel banner on the homepage of Orange Mall, Orange Community, and the Orange Mobile App Store all linked to Pinbei’s download page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pinbei’s ads also appeared as interstitials on Youku, Tudou, iQiyi, Tencent Video, and LeTV.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With full-scale promotion from the Marketing Department and Ad Placement Team, Pinbei surpassed 3 million registrations within 12 hours of launch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over 70% of new users came via QQ or WeChat channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Order volume reached 1.09 million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conversion rate neared 40%!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was vastly different from traditional general e-commerce or guide-based e-commerce; the ultra-high conversion rate energized colleagues in Business Development and Category teams, who began discussing today’s final sales figures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stayed at the company, watching sales data skyrocket!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At midnight, Pinbei’s daily user registration total stabilized at 4.7 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Order volume: 1.8 million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sales revenue: 107.52 million yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Top-selling categories were food, digital goods, small appliances, and apparel; Orange Mobile accounted for 60% of sales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pinbei’s Technical Security team monitored the system all day, fearing high concurrency might cause slow response, reduced throughput, or even server crashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, they’d prepared in advance: load balancing distributed traffic evenly across servers, and database performance was optimized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No issues occurred throughout the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sen-ge! Sales broke a hundred million!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zihao rushed into the office, turning to Chen Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was completely different from when they ran Fox Mall—back then, first-day sales were only 20,000–30,000 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Has Pinbei’s team left for the day?” Chen Yan smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today’s ad costs alone exceeded 10 million yuan; after subtracting Orange Mobile sales, actual revenue was under 50 million yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Performance was merely average—not meeting expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Yan knew: once users accepted the group-buy model, placing orders would become addictive, impossible to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wouldn’t seem unusual over a decade later, but in 2011, it was a massive shock to users.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>5.9 yuan for 4 jin of oranges, 19.9 yuan for branded T-shirts, 15.9 yuan for mini fans, 49 yuan for Midea electric kettles, 99 yuan for Joyoung rice cookers…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These low-priced, high-value items were enough to attract users, who would then drag friends and family into group buys to secure them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The viral growth rate would be astonishing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Everyone’s just about to leave. Don’t worry about customer service—Admin booked them hotels.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zihao understood Chen Yan’s meaning and replied with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides the 60+ customer service staff, most Pinbei members were recent graduates or hires from outside; they lived in faculty apartments or houses across Dongmen, so no worries about dorm curfews.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s late. Go home and rest,” Chen Yan said directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Pinbei’s team, this was the first day of their career’s launch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Chen Yan, it was merely another project going live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single-day sales figure breaking a hundred million brought little excitement—after all, at this time, Ali’s daily sales had long surpassed 2 billion yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sen-ge, I didn’t book a hotel. Can I crash at your place tonight?” Wang Zihao nodded, asking Chen Yan’s opinion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Book one if you didn’t. My place isn’t convenient,” Chen Yan glanced at his phone message and declined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sen-ge, I’ll sleep on the sofa—I don’t need to waste money.” Seeing Chen Yan head out, Wang Zihao hurried after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan ignored him and walked straight into the elevator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sofa had already been reserved by someone else; as for Wang Zihao—he was a brother, he could sleep anywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the ground floor, Chen Yan got into the driver’s seat of his Bentley and drove toward Xuyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just two or three hundred meters south, he saw Song Yuncheng waiting by the roadside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan pulled over in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I booked a hotel. Staying there would be wasteful,” Song Yuncheng said softly as she fastened her seatbelt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s your room number? I’ll have Zihao take it,” Chen Yan smiled after she closed the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, if Admin accidentally slips up, Zihao will get suspicious,” Song Yuncheng whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem. Take my phone and send Zihao the room number.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yan smiled inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zihao already knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Yan insisted, Song Yuncheng picked up his phone, opened WeChat, found Wang Zihao’s chat window, and mimicked Chen Yan’s tone to send the room number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sending, she was about to return the phone when she noticed Meng Jie’s chat window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng glanced at Chen Yansen, who was focused on driving, and quietly tapped inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after reading just a few lines, her expression collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you sneaking a look at my messages?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen kept his eyes on the road and asked with certainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t look!” Song Yuncheng quickly denied it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bastard is so promiscuous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The content of his chat with Meng Jie made her face burn with embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen gave no answer, smiling as he countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng forced a nervous laugh and swiftly changed the subject, bringing up Pinaibei’s launch day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At this rate, we’ll hit at least forty billion in annual sales!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forty billion? That’s not much—Taobao does six hundred billion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen dismissed it casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’ve been at it for nearly a decade; we’ve just started,” Song Yuncheng retorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then work harder! When you get Pinaibei’s sales up to six hundred billion, I’ll promote you to vice president.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen was handing out empty promises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Six hundred billion?” Song Yuncheng smiled bitterly—she didn’t believe she could ever achieve it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew better than anyone how today’s hundred-million sales came about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, traffic came from QQ and WeChat; second, they spent tens of millions on ads; third, they relied on Pinaibei’s group-buying virality and zero-yuan slashing events; fourth, they leveraged merchant resources accumulated last year on FoxTaobao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taobao claims five million merchants; Pinaibei doesn’t even have five hundred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You still need dreams—what if one comes true?” Chen Yansen joked, quoting Ma Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yucheng, glued to his computer, stared in shock—since Pinaibei’s launch, his store’s orders hadn’t stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just one day, he closed 130,000 orders, selling 260 tons of navel oranges.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, he never dared imagine this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss Wei, I downloaded all your orders from the backend—total sales for these 130,000 orders are 2.197 million, gross profit around 194,000.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yifeng sipped rice wine and smiled at Wei Yucheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy, desperate not to lose money, had pushed him to calculate the gross margin as soon as orders hit 100,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Calling me ‘Boss Wei’ is too formal—call me Brother Wei from now on,” Wei Yucheng said warmly, pulling Zhang Yifeng into a hug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the corner, Li Hui wore a strange expression, glancing between Wei Yucheng and Yuan Wei, silently amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this deal, the three of them had worked half a month in West Guangdong—thankfully, everything went smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Wei Yucheng didn’t budge much on price, he didn’t cheat on shipping—fruit size strictly followed the page specifications.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Wei, Yunsu picked up 20,000 orders today; tomorrow might bring another hundred thousand. We need more packers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yifeng offered a helpful reminder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—I’ve already sent people to recruit in town this afternoon. No problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wei Yucheng was in high spirits—net profit of 200,000 in a single day; he’d bet right this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far away in Yancheng, Liu Qiangdong heard of Pinaibei’s launch and thought: Chen Yansen really knows how to stir things up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s running a phone business and still has energy for a new platform!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he still didn’t realize Pinaibei was targeting him and Ma Liyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Late at night, countless QQ groups, WeChat groups, and BBS forums still buzzed with users actively sharing group-buying links or zero-yuan slashing invitations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This surge was even fiercer than when FoxTaobao first rose last year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2035,"2026-06-19T19:17:18.227Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d4ea3bf67a5ad84d84dc2d8afe8a33c8dc43b257d1c1f44add34c9a036677c7c","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-164","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-162",387,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-cover.jpg"]
