Get to the point—keep it under half an hour.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen waved him off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liao Wei swallowed hard, recalling the PPT’s content—he’d have to slow down his pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yunsu Express annual revenue: 49.74 billion Huayuan; net profit: 350 million; cash flow: 3.91 billion; but 2.34 billion was paid to Air China for aircraft purchases, scheduled for delivery and retrofitting by September.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Volume: 3.43 billion parcels; daily average pickups: 9.4 million; market share: 52.7%; average revenue per parcel: 14.5 Huayuan; air freight volume: 190,000 tons; eight cargo planes in operation; 31 routes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, subordinates reported to Liao Wei; now he was reporting to the boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought he wouldn’t be nervous, but seeing Chen Yansen’s face, his mind went blank—he could only read straight from the PPT, terrified of making a mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen found Liao Wei too slow and simply started reading the PPT himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yunsu Express had waged a price war against the “Three Passes and One Reach” from January to late August, losing billions; for Liao Wei to turn a profit in Q4 was no small feat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From core financial indicators, the 1.8 billion USD financing from Huake, China Merchants, and Huaxin had been mostly spent; after deducting aircraft payments, Yunsu Express now had only 1.57 billion Huayuan in available funds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Yansen wasn’t worried—after crushing the “Three Passes and One Reach,” Yunsu had raised prices and expanded air freight, achieving over 600 million Huayuan in monthly gross profit (after labor costs), enough to sustain current growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Express delivery made up a small share but had high per-parcel revenue; economy delivery accounted for 60%, focusing on low margins and high volume; same-day and cold-chain services also contributed significantly to revenue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Estimating from Q4’s average volume, Yunsu Express’s annual gross profit was around 7 billion, net profit around 2 billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the popularization of e-commerce and logistics, net profit could rise to 10 billion or even 20 billion in three to five years—but this figure was already the industry’s ceiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To go further, expansion beyond China—into Southeast Asia, Europe, and the U.S.—was the only path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Food delivery, express delivery, and ride-hailing—no wonder they’re the iron triathlon: employees don’t make money, and neither does the company.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen sneered, recalling Feiyu Tech’s year-end report: annual sales over 6 billion, revenue over 2 billion, average commission rate near 40%, net profit over a billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Live-streamed sales really are profitable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, he immediately wanted to summon Mao Chaorong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Domestic hardware and network conditions weren’t sufficient yet, but North America could be targeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without streamers, county TV stations across the country had trained dozens of shopping program hosts—professionally, they were no worse than future top-selling streamers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Chen Yansen’s view, these people simply hadn’t caught the right time; otherwise, they could have amassed tens of millions of followers, earning millions daily, and still look down their noses and say: “My products aren’t expensive—you’re just not working hard enough.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then he reconsidered—no need to rush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Liao Wei finished his report, Chen Yansen took a short break, then grabbed Lao Liao and headed straight for the cafeteria with Cao Dahua, Xiao Jun, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 2 p.m., Kuai Pao’s year-end report began, followed by ByteDance, Kuai Di Taxi, and Gaode Map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning, Orange Pay, Today Tech, OFO, Mimo, and Xiaohongshu also delivered their reports.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Notably, Orange Pay’s “Collect Five Blessings, Split One Billion Cash” campaign would launch on January 25, partnering with Kuai Di Taxi, Kuai Pao, OFO, and Pinbei—each daily ride, food order, or online purchase granted an additional card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The combined net profit of over a dozen controlled subsidiaries totaled 23.97 billion Huayuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too many companies, too many businesses, too little profit!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing off Pei Yi, Xiao Jun, Hu Weiyi, and others, Zhuxianzhu Tech Park fell quiet again; over two weeks remained until the virtual institute’s holiday. Chen Yansen spent his days with Mike Keller and Wu Shengyu; the Tiangong T100 chip’s development progressed rapidly—after switching to the Orange Z1 instruction set, instruction count and circuit design were streamlined, with over 40% improvement in processing speed and energy efficiency.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, Orange Z1 outperformed ARM by 40%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On January 10, Luo Yonghao released SmartisanOS and unveiled the Smartisan T1 smartphone CG render, planning a product launch after the New Year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More competitors were entering the phone market; Huang Zhang of Meizu and Chen Yongming of OPPO grew increasingly anxious—they weren’t afraid of competition, but of losing to amateurs like 360 and NetEase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After comprehensive analysis, they agreed: 360 and NetEase succeeded mainly by using Orange Tech’s mobile OS, supply chain, and manufacturing services.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they weren’t willing to hand their entire phone business over to Orange Tech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as they hesitated, Lei Zong called Chen Yansen: “Chen Zong, I’ve figured it out—I’ll switch all Xiaomi 2A and Xiaomi 2S models to AuroraOS.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen put down his computer, stepped out of the chip design office to the balcony, and replied: “Lei Zong, for Xiaomi to defeat 360 Phone is simple—Orange Tech has another smartphone OS with even better performance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Zong was eager to cooperate; Chen Yansen naturally seized the chance to pitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“AuroraOS 1.6?” Lei Zong asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whether AuroraOS or MIUI, they’re all customized Android versions. I won’t let Orange Tech’s fate rest in Google’s hands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen leaned against the wall, gazing at the snow-covered ground below, speaking softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Google doesn’t charge patent fees now, but that doesn’t mean it never will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Zong instantly understood Chen Yansen’s meaning and pressed: “So Orange Tech, like Ali Baba, has developed a brand-new smartphone OS?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ali Baba Cloud OS is still just a clone system compatible with Android. AuroraFutureOS is different—its programming language and kernel architecture avoid the Java ecosystem and Linux kernel patent code,” Chen Yansen explained slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aurora Future System?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Zong quickly grasped: Chen Yansen wanted to use Xiaomi as a guinea pig.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Zong, Xiaomi ships only a few million units annually—less than 360 Phone. Either let Xiaomi use AuroraOS 1.6, or let Zhou Hongyi use AuroraFutureOS?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Zong chuckled nervously, cautiously suggesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t you trust me?” Chen Yansen asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I trust you? Don’t make me laugh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how well-designed a new OS is, it always has compatibility and app ecosystem flaws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen clearly intended to use Xiaomi as a guinea pig—how could Lei Zong possibly agree?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Zong, I trust Orange Tech’s capabilities, but without a strong app ecosystem, Xiaomi’s sales will suffer.” Lei Zong sighed, reluctantly refusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll give it to you for free,” Chen Yansen added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Zong immediately perked up, smirking: “Can users switch between systems?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He meant: Xiaomi could help promote AuroraFutureOS, but users must have the freedom to choose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A phone supporting two OSes was extremely rare in 2012, but in the future it became standard—like the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 supporting Dex desktop mode and Android; Huawei Mate 30 Pro switching rapidly between EMUI and HarmonyOS.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The goal was always the same: to become Android’s replacement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For every Xiaomi phone sold with AuroraFutureOS, I’ll waive one AuroraOS patent fee. No switching needed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen thought for a moment and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine,” Lei Zong agreed promptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, if sales were poor, he couldn’t be blamed—and Xiaomi would save on patent licensing costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three minutes later, Chen Yansen hung up, shaking his head helplessly. Launching a new standard was undeniably difficult—but 2013 was the best opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait a few more years, and the chance would vanish entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he needed to negotiate with Tencent, Ali Baba, NetEase, Sohu, Sina, and other internet companies—to get their highest-DAU apps developed for AuroraFutureOS, and to open-source the app development language and platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Chen Yansen dialed Ma Huateng’s number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chenfeng from Tencent Venture, Shen Nanpeng from Sequoia Capital, and Zhang Lei from Hillhouse Capital signed term sheets and equity transfer agreements with Hu Weiyi at Xingchi Tech’s Hangcheng headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three jointly invested 390 million Huayuan; OFO’s post-investment valuation was 2.6 billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news broke, and the domestic investment circle was thrown into uproar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is an ofo bike worth 2.6 billion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just based on eighty thousand bicycles and a daily revenue of three hundred thousand Huayuan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, many began to stir, thinking: if even this could fool investors into pouring tens of millions, why wait?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just copy it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following group buying and food delivery platforms, shared bicycles became the latest frenzy chased by capital and entrepreneurs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shared bicycle companies sprang up like mushrooms after rain, appearing overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far away in Yancheng, Cheng Wei cursed under his breath, “Bad luck,” then immediately accelerated expansion—even in the dead of winter, Didi Bikes deployed another fifty thousand shared bikes to North China, leaping to become the brand with the most deployed bicycles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in Yancheng, Wang Fengli quietly founded Tuge Technology Co., Ltd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no idea how many bicycles had been lost in total by ofo, Didi, and Xiao Huang Bikes back in 2012.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shared cars might be a decent business gimmick, but they wouldn’t work in China.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But investment firms didn’t care—they blindly invested thirty million yuan in him. Wang Fengli used the money to develop an app while hunting for suppliers, eventually setting his sights on the Mercedes-Benz smart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Small, lightweight, perfectly suited to Yancheng’s parking conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Fengli ordered a hundred at once, making the dealer think he was a car rental company boss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2173,"2026-06-19T19:17:19.606Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","076d95825c49881f5057f733c65e061a6641df5b5a7a62c3474783faac9f5a0f","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-360","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-358",387,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-cover.jpg"]
