Pretty Boy Dong can afford it—just see how he weighs the pros and cons,” Chen Yansen said coolly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you want to win over users, own the loss openly—admit your mistakes, stand straight when you’re hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of the reason, if a user placed an order and payment succeeded, the product was valid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fault lies with JD.com, not the user.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you don’t want to lose money, simply cancel the order and compensate ten or twenty yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the order amount was only one yuan—how isn’t that tenfold compensation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered clearly that similar bugs occurred repeatedly over the next decade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, seven years later, JD’s operations team mistakenly set a 200-yuan universal coupon as an appliance-only coupon, causing ovens to sell for six yuan, rice cookers for three, and electric kettles for one—losing tens of millions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that time, Liu Qiangdong shipped the goods without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that point, JD wasn’t nearly as wealthy as it would be years later—whether it could afford to honor the claims was uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All one could say was JD’s backend was poorly designed—otherwise, how could so many bugs arise?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If Pinduoduo had a similar price loophole and lost over fifty million, would you allow merchants to ship normally?\" Ye Qiuping asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Post-incident review matters more than fifty million, and finding a solution matters more than post-incident review,” Chen Yansen replied slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pinduoduo’s merchant backend had an algorithmic error-correction mechanism: if a product normally priced at 100 yuan was changed to less than 30% of its value, the system would pop a warning and require secondary confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the platform, if abnormal orders exceeded one hundred, an alert would trigger automatically—the affected items would be taken down immediately, reducing the risk of being exploited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did JD have so many bugs?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who knows!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Use more force!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen rolled over and ordered Ye Qiuping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qiuping giggled, her fingers tracing along the edges of Chen Zong’s abs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?” Chen Yansen asked, face darkening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How dare she defy her superior!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just giving a massage,” Ye Qiuping wriggled, answering sweetly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your technique is flawed—I’ll show you. Remember, I only demonstrate once,” Chen Yansen said seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he finished speaking, a pair of large hands reached out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qiangdong sat on the sofa, pondering for hours, still unable to decide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Midway, he consulted the Municipal Market Supervision Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tentatively outlined Xu Lei’s solution—their response was noncommittal, their stance unclear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, canceling orders and paying tenfold compensation was acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the user’s transaction price was one yuan, while the product’s actual value neared a thousand yuan—compensating only ten or twenty yuan would never be accepted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These bastards are all wool-pulling scum—does JD need them? No!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keeping promises matters to merchants—and it doesn’t matter. If users leave, how far can JD go?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever Liu Qiangdong closed his eyes, two voices argued inside his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Suning’s Zhang Jindong teased on Weibo: “If Suning faced this, we’d honor the contract—legally, the moment the user placed the order, the contract was formed.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The implication: if JD refused to honor the contract, users could sue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pure provocation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That afternoon at three, JD began bulk-canceling user orders—all orders with quantity greater than one were canceled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orders with quantity exactly one were kept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qiangdong’s stance was clear: wool-pullers weren’t JD users—they were gray and black market operators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, paying only twenty million could appease 99% of the ordering users.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though still a heavy loss, it was manageable compared to fifty million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, JD’s group-buying bug incident briefly trended on Weibo, driving significant traffic to the new product—effectively a paid marketing campaign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But users who placed dozens, hundreds, even thousands of orders were furious—JD only compensated ten yuan after canceling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten yuan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s an insult!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the Beijing Market Supervision Association’s landline rang nonstop during work hours, flooded with complaints from JD users nationwide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Li Chang, who placed 3,000 orders, appeared on Jin Ling’s “Zero Distance” public affairs program.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, he received no sympathy—only a storm of abuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“3,000 orders? Are you insane?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Liu Qiangdong, fire all your tech staff.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>JD’s developers saw the comment and went pale, muttering: “What’s this got to do with tech? This is the testers’ and ops’ fault!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“People can’t be this shameless! Others buy one order—you buy 3,000? Is that reasonable?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, some supported Li Chang, arguing JD had unilaterally canceled user orders, making netizens believe e-commerce platforms were too tyrannical, arbitrarily manipulating user accounts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was their balance in JD Pay still safe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Online sentiment shifted rapidly. Chen Yansen sensed something wrong—he immediately realized someone was stoking the fire, perhaps a bank or financial firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately called Zhang Yinjia; after discussion, Orange Pay’s operations team issued a bold public notice: Lose one fen, compensate one million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If a user’s Orange Pay balance was short by one fen, the platform would pay one million Huayuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reply was fiercely assertive!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon learning Orange Pay’s response, Ma Liyun and Ma Wenteng immediately sensed a conspiracy and swiftly mirrored Orange Pay’s move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WeChat Pay announced: Lose one fen, compensate five million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhifubao’s slogan: Lose one fen, compensate ten million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senlian Capital, Ali, and Tencent were powerful—top-tier Chinese internet firms. Though someone had stirred the pot, their statements instantly silenced the noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Yu’e Bao’s “Split 10 Billion Experience Bonus” campaign remained completely unaffected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top-ranked holder now had over thirty million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second place: twenty-nine point seven million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third place: twenty-eight point four million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fourth place: four point nine million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, there were currently three people who wanted to have lunch with Chen Zong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, National Teacher Zhang Yimou responded for the first time to accusations of overbirth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, it was like a stone thrown into a pond—major portals, Weibo, and Toutiao exploded in popularity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Attention toward JD’s bug incident rapidly faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Qiangdong’s move carried risk but earned him public goodwill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly spared was Chang Wei of Xiao Huangche, who, after launching “Refund Anytime” and “Deposit Guarantee” features, saw users gradually forget the earlier deposit refund scandal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On March 11, Yi Guan’s group-buying industry report finally arrived, announcing February’s core data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No surprise—first place remained Kuai Pao, monthly transaction volume 1.76 billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Competitors gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember, February had the Spring Festival—half the month was in industry low season.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did Kuai Pao achieve this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This growth rate was terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on February’s numbers, March would surely break two billion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second place: Baidu Group Buy (Lashou), monthly transaction volume 1.13 billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third place: Dazhong Dianping, monthly transaction volume 760 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fourth place: Meituan, monthly transaction volume 390 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xin immediately jumped in to dispute: Meituan’s true February transaction volume was 460 million Huayuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But insiders knew that since Juhuasuan ended cooperation with Meituan, Meituan’s business had shrunk again—below 400 million was normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meituan was about to be eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group-buying industry’s Matthew Effect was stark: Kuai Pao led, Baidu Group Buy followed, Dazhong Dianping barely held on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Yansen was unsatisfied with Kuai Pao’s expansion speed—only a few billion monthly, less than one hundred million daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, the group-buying industry’s potential remained untapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After capturing first- and second-tier cities, there were still third- and fourth-tier cities, and county-level markets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, under his instruction, Pei Yi selected ten counties in Huian Province as pilot zones to test county-market potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If monthly net profit could cover labor, promotion, and management costs, business would be extended to town-level markets a year ahead of schedule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chunshen, Qipan Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang Bin, you really went to high school with the boss?” asked Wang Tianming, the team leader of the three field promoters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come on, why would I lie to you?” Wang Bin replied with a smug grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really had been Chen Yansen’s high school classmate, but they hadn’t interacted much—in three years, the total number of words they’d exchanged could be counted on one hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The gap between people really is huge,” Wang Tianming muttered involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro Wang, if you don’t know how to speak, you could just stay quiet,” Wang Bin said flatly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, you’re not bad either—the boss is still in school while you’re already working. Doesn’t that make you feel a bit better?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Tianming let out a dry laugh and offered a casual reassurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fuck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s because I went to junior college—I hadn’t even graduated when the school kicked me out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Bin’s heart ached even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro Wang, focusing on street canvassing is the priority!” urged another young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three were field promotion staff for KuaiPao; Wang Tianming was a core member transferred from Lucheng, while Wang Bin and he were hired locally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire county had only these three people handling business recruitment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could secure deals with every restaurant, hotel, KTV, cinema, and foot bath parlor, they’d earn at least tens of thousands in commissions annually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Da Tou’s right—earning money matters most. The morning air is cool; let’s hit more places now,” Wang Tianming nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bro Wang, my name is Wu Xingyu. If you call me Da Tou again, next time I’ll call you Old Wang,” Wu Xingyu said irritably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, Da Tou—you take Nanjie, Wang Bin takes Beijie,” Wang Tianming replied with a grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your mother’s—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Xingyu glared fiercely at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1612,"2026-06-19T19:17:19.606Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","141d4f1920cf3d32072425ba65d06bb96428ec6ec807a1cddb090a1849a54284","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-385","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-383",387,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-cover.jpg"]
