Please review it first; if everything’s fine, we’ll begin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Host Chen Hongwei politely handed over the documents, smiling as he explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inviting Chen Yansen had been decided over a month ago—upper management had ordered that he be turned into a role model for 90s entrepreneurs and a symbol of China’s business image abroad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no choice—Chen Zong was perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Young, handsome, full of vitality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At twenty-one, with a net worth of over fifty billion U.S. dollars, he outshone Facebook’s founder Zuckerberg; using him as a promotional face was undoubtedly the best choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright.” Chen Yansen nodded slightly, took the documents, and flipped through them casually—they were only seven or eight pages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, he memorized every word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To one side of the stage was a tiered audience section, filled with over a hundred undergraduate and graduate students from Tsinghua, Peking, Yancai, Huamin, and other universities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng sat in the front row, her gaze fixed intently on the man under the spotlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Chen Yansen seemed to glow, his silhouette deeply etched into her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The real person is even more handsome than his photos!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How tall is he?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lingxi Encyclopedia says 1.86 meters, but I feel he’s closer to 1.90.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“His proportions are perfect!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some elite students from Tsinghua and Peking’s business schools, overhearing the chatter around them, frowned inwardly, thinking: Chen Yansen’s greatest strength is his business achievement—why are they all talking about his looks?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two robotic camera arms focused on the center of the stage to capture the host and guest’s micro-expressions, while a massive LED screen stood behind, ready to switch backgrounds at will.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this studio, Chen Hongwei had interviewed top figures across fields: Liu Chengzhi, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Ma Liyun, Ma Wenteng, Cao Wang, Jin Yong, Cameron.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of wealth, industry influence, and global fame, Chen Yansen wasn’t the absolute top—but he was the youngest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hongwei checked the script while secretly sizing up Chen Yansen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A second-tier college student who earned over fifty billion in two years? No novel would dare write this—did he have a cheat code?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder upper management specifically requested this interview; just his appearance and demeanor outclassed college student entrepreneurs by dozens of times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty minutes later, everything was ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen sat on the right sofa; Chen Hongwei sat beside him and addressed the camera:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good evening, viewers. Welcome to this episode of ‘Dialogue.’ In today’s booming internet era, China has produced a wave of tech companies with global influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our guest today is among the brightest— a founder who built a business empire valued at over a hundred billion at just twenty years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He led his team to launch well-known products like Pinbei, Orange Phone, Orange Pay, and KuaiPao, transforming the lifestyles of hundreds of millions. Let’s welcome Mr. Chen Yansen, Chairman of Senlian Technology!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he finished, the audience erupted in applause!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen waved at the camera and chuckled, “There’s a small error—I’m actually twenty-one this year.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not until your birthday,” Chen Hongwei insisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nope, I’ll ask Mos.” Chen Yansen shifted tone and spoke the wake command for the Mos Smart Speaker: “Mos, check Chen Yansen’s age.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Information retrieved. Chen Yansen is twenty-one years old,” Mos replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen spread his hands and looked at Chen Hongwei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guess I was wrong,” Chen Hongwei shrugged, admitting cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audience below smiled knowingly—they recognized this as a soft ad for Orange Technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s return to the topic. Mr. Chen, I heard you started your business right after entering university. Why choose the internet industry?” Chen Hongwei asked his first question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Strictly speaking, my first fortune wasn’t from FoxTao—it came from selling MP3 and MP4 players in small towns,” Chen Yansen replied honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“MP3 and MP4?” Chen Hongwei feigned surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was 2013—smartphones had rendered MP3 and MP4 players obsolete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That was the summer of 2010. Yangcheng had an MP3 and MP4 production surplus, so wholesale prices were extremely low: MP3s cost only 22 yuan, MP4s 116 yuan. While demand in first- and second-tier cities was shrinking, these devices remained popular in remote towns. Plus, I sold them at rock-bottom prices.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen spoke fluently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So your first startup capital was earned through grueling labor—every day in the scorching August heat, traveling to different towns…” Chen Hongwei added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen thought back: back then, he sat in the car with air conditioning, Wang Zihao handled sales, Meng Jie collected payments—he’d truly worked hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“FoxTao was your first venture, yet you raised its valuation to over ten billion in just one year. What’s your secret to success?” Chen Hongwei pressed on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Choice matters more than effort. In e-commerce, I discovered a new niche: leveraging platforms like Taobao, Jingdong, and Suning, using their products and merchant resources to launch a guide-based e-commerce platform, providing services to merchants, platforms, and users. The results proved my choice was right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Orange Pay’s ‘Collect Five Blessings’ campaign became a phenomenon. Where did the idea come from?” Chen Hongwei asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Inspired by childhood hobbies like stamp collecting and Water Margin card collecting—Chinese people love collecting. But the key was turning it into commercial value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We designed three layers: First, social viral sharing—only by sharing could you collect all five; second, brand exposure—each blessing card carried an ad; third, payment integration—you needed to use Pinbei, Gaode, or KuaiPao to earn more cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, user growth, ad revenue, and payment habit formation were all solved at once.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen smiled lightly, making it up as he went.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard this campaign earned Orange Pay over 600 million?” Chen Hongwei asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rumor. Though we covered part of the cost through ad partnerships, we didn’t even reach one hundred million.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen flatly denied it. He couldn’t tell users Orange Pay had made both money and traffic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some things are better left unsaid—it benefits everyone, and avoids making users think they’re fools.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hongwei smiled inwardly: No wonder he’s a business genius—he lied without blinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In e-commerce, Ali and Jingdong dominate. How did Pinbei find its breakthrough?” Chen Hongwei continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think the opposite: Ali and Jingdong have high market share, but they can’t reach the lower-tier markets. Pinbei reduces customer acquisition costs through group buying and social viral growth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen dismissed it casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Chen, I know Pinbei launched an agricultural support program, bringing farm products nationwide onto e-commerce platforms, generating over forty billion in sales in 2012 alone. Compared to cosmetics and appliances, agricultural goods have low profit margins. Why do this?” Chen Hongwei fixed his gaze on Chen Yansen, serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To avoid direct competition with Ali and Jingdong, create platform differentiation, increase income for rural and township merchants. The benefits of internet technology should be shared by all—not confined to first- and second-tier cities.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen answered solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was good at grandstanding and invoking righteousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words sounded harmless, but upon reflection, carried a bold critique—leaving the students in the audience deeply moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hongwei’s heart skipped a beat. He turned to the producer, only relaxing when he saw the man nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Chen, what’s Orange Technology’s next priority—AI or international expansion?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Hongwei quickly changed the subject, afraid Chen Yansen might blurt out something like “The wheat has ripened a thousand times—farmers shouldn’t suffer so much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why choose one? I believe we can walk on two legs.” Chen Yansen replied succinctly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, then added: “Both are vital. In AI, Orange Technology established an Artificial Intelligence Lab, focusing on computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing. Mos and Alexa Smart Speakers are products of that lab.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For internationalization, we chose Africa as our first step, Eastern Europe as the second. Last year, Orange Phone sold 6.7 million units; this year’s target is 20 million.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Yansen wasn’t about to cause trouble, Chen Hongwei finally relaxed. He smiled: “Mr. Chen, what’s your advice to young people—work at a big company or start your own business?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I suggest working at a big company for two or three years first. The skills needed for entrepreneurship are too broad. If you can rapidly build industry insight and network connections, you might shorten it to one or two years.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In this era, the only constant is change itself. A company’s moat isn’t technology or capital—it’s the ability to innovate continuously.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen spoke slowly and deliberately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the LED screen behind the stage played clips from “Dialogue” interviews—featuring Yunsu couriers, Orange Phone factory workers, KuaiPao delivery riders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest of the recording went smoothly. Normally, it took two or three hours to finish one episode; today, it took only an hour and a half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Chen, thank you for your time and cooperation,” Chen Hongwei, the producer, and director walked Chen Yansen out of the TV station.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Yansen took Song Yuncheng and stepped into the Maybach 62S, driving off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now I get why they picked him as the face of promotion—his ability and emotional intelligence are flawless. His words are bold, but perfectly measured,” the director sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young people are like the morning sun at seven or eight,” Chen Hongwei chuckled in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You two are too naive! Every word he said was calculated. A businessman who made tens of billions doesn’t operate on emotion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The producer analyzed coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This episode of ‘Dialogue’ is going to explode in popularity.” Chen Hongwei recalled Chen Yansen’s final remarks—if approved, they’d thrust him straight into the spotlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry. The big bosses upstairs are watching,” the producer snorted, turning back toward the studio.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen returned to the hotel for a brief rest. At six p.m., he drove to Jingzhao Yin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hongyi had privately invited him seven or eight times; after all, he was a major client of Orange Phone’s factory—couldn’t keep refusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, there was Jia Yaoting—he’d piqued Chen Yansen’s interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, the car stopped before the entrance of Jingzhao Yin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Hongyi pulled Jia Yaoting along; both stood beside a screen wall, tiptoeing to peer out. As soon as they saw Chen Yansen step out, they rushed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew without Orange Technology’s help, 360 Phone couldn’t compete with Xiaomi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This year, he’d slapped Lei Zong’s face so hard it swelled—now, meeting Chen Yansen felt like reuniting with family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yaoting followed closely, studying the young man before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around twenty, dressed in indigo shirt with a suit jacket, the man towered over him—he had to tilt his head up to meet his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Chen, seeing you isn’t easy,” Zhou Hongyi greeted cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then why don’t you come to Vicheng to find me?” Chen Yansen countered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he glanced at Jia Yaoting out of the corner of his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a talent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A PPT car-making master who could fool both domestic and foreign investors alike—if not for bad luck, Jia Yaoting might have actually succeeded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Chen, hello, I’m Jia Yaoting from LeTV. I’ve long admired your name; today, I’ve boldly intruded on Master Zhou’s banquet—please forgive the impertinence.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chen Yansen look his way, Jia Yaoting immediately stepped forward to introduce himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Jia, a pleasure,” Chen Yansen replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go inside and chat properly,” Zhou Hongyi suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he led Chen Yansen and Jia Yaoting past the courtyard, through pavilions and terraces, to a private room steeped in antique charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had they sat down than Zhou Hongyi beamed and said, “Last year, 360’s phone sales exceeded Xiaomi’s by 1.13 million units—all thanks to your support, Mr. Chen. This first toast is mine to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The 360 N2 runs on AuroraFutureOS, right?” Chen Yansen asked suddenly, the wine cup still inches from his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I trust Orange Tech, and I trust you, Mr. Chen,” Zhou Hongyi replied with smooth words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Chen Yansen hadn’t forced the 360 N2 to use AuroraFutureOS—why not release two versions later and let users choose?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Yaoting watched Zhou Hongyi and couldn’t help thinking: If someone like this can make phones, why can’t LeTV?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2098,"2026-06-19T19:17:19.606Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b6970289417ae31608b23edcfc7191986340dea07d90a6a8eb13e528bd25360e","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-366","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-364",387,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-cover.jpg"]
