ShenTong even reached four million on Taobao’s Double Eleven, with the Tonglu faction holding half the express delivery market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet when Yunsu Express’s daily pickup volume surpassed eight million, the Three Passes and One Reach’s business shrank continuously, losing sixty percent of their market share in just six months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Franchise outlets across the country shut down one after another; compared to their peak, their numbers had halved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Dejun’s stress tolerance is pretty strong—he hasn’t begged for mercy or tried to sell his company; looks like he’s determined to fight Yunsu to the end.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen smiled faintly and muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I damn well want to kneel to him too, but ShenTong’s volume has shrunk by sixty percent, and I can’t sell it for a decent price—I’d rather fight Liao Wei to the death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a private club in Husheng, Chen Dejun raised his wine glass, gulped down a large mouthful, and cursed fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Zheng Shengyu of the Postal Association forced ShenTong and YuanTong to raise the price of e-commerce parcels under one kilogram from one yuan back to one point five, his market share could no longer be held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yunsu, backed by Pinbei Mall, has no shortage of customers and can aggressively snatch up express delivery business from Taobao merchants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As one declines and the other rises, Yunsu Express’s economies of scale become increasingly evident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With technological support from Orange Technology, KuaiPao, and Gaode Maps, Yunsu Express uses big data and intelligent algorithms to plan optimal routes for transport vehicles based on order distribution, traffic conditions, and other factors, effectively reducing empty mileage and delivery time, lowering transportation costs, and improving delivery efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, seven large intelligent warehousing centers have been built in the North, East, and South regions, with automated equipment introduced to achieve high-precision sorting efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the last-mile delivery stage, Yunsu combines parcel lockers with door-to-door delivery to crush the Three Passes and One Reach under pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve got to find a solution, or none of us will make it to next year,” Yu Weijiao of YuanTong frowned deeply, his scalp growing increasingly bald—clearly, recent days had been rough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just sell the company to Yunsu,” said Lai Haisong of Zhongtong, shrugging helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, waiting another half-year or so would mean no buyer would take it—better to plan ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you scared, Lai Boss?” Nie Tengyu of Yunda glanced at him with disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scared? Six months ago, it was Boss Chen who said Yunsu couldn’t withstand losses and would last at most a few months—so what happened? I gritted my teeth and fought Liao Wei, but he just got stronger—this month he built another smart warehouse in Yongcheng. What else can I do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lai Haisong suddenly stood up and confronted Nie Tengyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough. Stop this indirect slander,” Chen Dejun said coldly, his face grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!” Lai Haisong suppressed his anger, slammed back into his seat, and drank his wine in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four men stared at each other, helpless—plainly, even combined, the Three Passes and One Reach couldn’t match Yunsu’s financial reserves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was only one way out: find a way to raise capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Raise capital? From China Merchants, Huake, and Huaxin?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the first workday of May, Chen Yansen had just arrived at his office when Gao Weilin knocked and entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Weilin nodded with a smile: “Yes, it was arranged by Chairman Zheng of the Postal Association.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Shengyu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen didn’t believe the man was this generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More likely, it was because Yunsu had been expanding wildly across the country, spending money like water, with monthly losses rising from one or two hundred million to two or three hundred million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Shengyu feared Yunsu’s cash flow might break, affecting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, if he could establish ties with China Merchants and Huaxin, it would be much easier to buy secondhand planes from Air China and convert them into cargo planes, or to apply for aviation operation licenses and route permissions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yunsu needs to raise capital—you handle the coordination.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen thought for a moment and instructed Gao Weilin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, what’s your bottom line?” Gao Weilin asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No more than fifteen percent. Valuation should be as high as possible—no negotiations below ten billion U.S. dollars,” Chen Yansen replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood,” Gao Weilin nodded, placed a financial report on the desk, and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the office door closed again, Chen Yansen reached out, and the Orange phone floated gently into his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his mental stat surpassed 44.95, not only had his spiritual sense’s detection radius expanded to over fourteen meters, but the weight he could lift had increased more than threefold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“May 1: Tencent invests 200 million to acquire 13.5% of YiXun.com, holding an 80% stake; remaining shares will be held by YiXun’s management…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen shook his head—clearly, Little Ma had abandoned his dream of running his own e-commerce platform, shifting the group’s strategy toward investment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad, YiXun.com could never carry Ma Wenteng’s e-commerce dream—Tencent’s total investment of 700 million would inevitably go down the drain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen remembered clearly: two years from now, Ma Wenteng would trade YiXun.com, QQ Mall, and Paipai.com, plus 220 million U.S. dollars, for 15% equity in JD.com just before its IPO.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qiangdong, desperate for Tencent’s primary traffic entry points, had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, he wasn’t losing—he gained Tencent’s traffic, and JD.com’s valuation surged past twenty billion U.S. dollars on its listing day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, JD.com’s market share and operational level at the time could never have justified a $19-per-share offering price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Tencent has given its traffic entry points to Pinbei, it’s uncertain whether it will still invest in JD.com.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Zhou Hongyi called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1174,"2026-06-19T19:17:19.606Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","6aa8bf0b4cf906e862ecb162a9e2e12e99667dc4237e1398a583890da7737682","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-257","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-255",387,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-cover.jpg"]
