Send it to me as soon as possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen sat at his desk selecting products for a while, grew tired, slowly stood up, stretched, and asked Zhuang Rui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss Chen, I’ll give it to you before quitting time—I still need to polish the details,” Zhuang Rui replied, looking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, wait until Wenbo and Pengfei come back, then we’ll sync up and aim for a launch in October.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen nodded, then added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the “Cut the Price” model annoyed users, it was an absolute powerhouse for user acquisition; with limited funds, even though customer acquisition costs in 2010 were low, he couldn’t afford to burn cash unless he secured angel investment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But FoxTao currently had fewer than 140,000 registered users and less than 10,000 daily active users, with a profit model identical to competitors—hardly attracting investor attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by ranking among the top three in the industry would capital come knocking on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a third-year male dorm room at Lucheng College, Gao Wei was browsing FoxTao’s promotional page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These denim shorts are 39.9 yuan, and I get another 4 yuan cashback—so I’m paying only 35.9 yuan?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wei muttered, carefully checked the product details and reviews, found no issues, and paid using his U-key.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other products on the page also intrigued him: a 9.9-yuan T-shirt returned 1 yuan, a 299-yuan MP4 returned 30 yuan, a 399-yuan sports shoe returned 40 yuan—this novel online shopping discount model felt like opening a whole new world to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, many online shoppers relied on directly haggling with shop owners for discounts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That method was time-consuming and exhausting, unsuitable for introverts; most people simply accepted the listed prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FoxTao’s arrival strongly challenged their old assumptions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the backend order volume climb steadily, Chen Yansen skipped rest and, using pre-developed campaign templates, added eight thematic activity pages to the homepage at once, categorized by product type: Snack Fun Shop, Beauty Welfare Club, Sports New Trend, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He selected products priced close to the average order value and focused exclusively on high-commission premium items, greatly boosting returning users’ willingness to place orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By day’s end, the conversion rate for a single activity page reached over 30%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant, out of every ten users who clicked into an activity page, three placed orders—an astonishing conversion rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On October 2, FoxTao recorded 2,745 orders that day, total sales of 89,212.5 yuan, and a profit of 13,292.6 yuan;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On October 3, FoxTao recorded 6,123 orders that day, total sales of 194,099.1 yuan, and a profit of 28,144.3 yuan;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On October 4, FoxTao recorded 4,169 orders that day, total sales of 151,706.3 yuan, and a profit of 23,673.2 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just three days, FoxTao’s total sales across the platform surpassed the 500,000-yuan mark!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss Chen, the data’s in—12,471 orders came from users who won 2.8 yuan; gross margin is 1.3%, so we still made 5,300 yuan,” Hu Yun chuckled, reporting to Chen Yansen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“About what Zhuang Rui predicted—the voting campaign cost less than 40,000 yuan total, yet delivered results equivalent to spending four million.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen smiled, then instructed Zhuang Rui: “We’ve taken a solid first step; now focus on retention—increasing first-purchase rates and order frequency is your top priority going forward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it, Boss Chen. I’ll think it through these few days and bring you a plan after the holiday.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Rui took a deep breath and replied seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen grunted, then turned to look at Wang Zihao, still hunched over his work. He wanted to call him out to relax, but held back the words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked out of the startup park alone and wandered aimlessly along Liu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky was dim, a golden glow slowly sinking below the horizon; a cool breeze rustled the willow branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a month of nonstop work, even someone as energetic as him felt a faint weariness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, Chen Yansen still dared not fully entrust the project to these eighteen- and nineteen-year-olds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His past experience warned him: in business and the workplace, the only person you can truly rely on is yourself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone else might stab you in the back at any moment, leaving you unaware of how you died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen reached the riverbank, sat down without hesitation, and stared blankly at the water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FoxTao was fundamentally a guide-based e-commerce platform; its future could only end in one of three ways: acquisition, IPO on the main board, or cashing in quickly during the e-commerce boom before gradually declining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen had no intention of scaling FoxTao; he viewed it purely as a stepping stone—to accumulate industry connections and resources, then leverage capital and team to pursue a more promising path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen never intended to grow Fox Tao into a large business; he saw it merely as a stepping stone—to first build connections and resources within the circle, then leverage capital and a team to forge a more promising path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t decided yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Class monitor Chen, just sitting here daydreaming?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While lost in thought, a playful, light voice came from behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen turned his head and smiled—it was Xu Xingxing, whom he hadn’t seen in days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She held half a dozen beers and a bag of snacks, wore a baseball cap, a white tank top exposing large patches of pale skin on her shoulders and neck, and green athletic shorts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the entire Xucheng College, her outfit was bold and trendy; most girls would barely dare to wander outside in pajamas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t go home?” Chen Yansen asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Didn’t you stay either?” Xu Xingxing sat beside him and handed him a beer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xingxing remembered Chen Yansen well; they’d sung “Bad Girl” together at a KTV before, and she’d assumed he’d add her QQ afterward and follow the usual male courtship script—invite her out to eat, shop, confess. But none of that happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seemed to have forgotten her existence; if she hadn’t reached out, their interaction might have ended with that single KTV trip a month ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, she heard Chen Yansen was busy with entrepreneurship, that his project had caught the president’s attention and support, and received media coverage; compared to other guys, Chen Yansen seemed to exist on a completely different level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While others stayed up late gaming, his startup already had hundreds of thousands of users.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Add his tall, handsome appearance, and many girls had crushes on him—but few dared to pursue him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most girls understood: a guy as good-looking and financially capable as Chen Yansen wouldn’t necessarily respond even if they confessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our dorm’s Party Secretary Su still has a crush on you—haven’t you got any thoughts?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xingxing took a sip of beer and probed casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t like overly obedient girls—they’re too boring,” Chen Yansen replied, lightly clinking his bottle against hers with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What about a bad girl like me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xingxing straightened her chest and asked boldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh? How bad are you? How many boyfriends have you had?” Chen Yansen smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you want the exact number, or do you want to hear about my past?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xingxing propped her chin on her hand, staring intently at Chen Yansen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the same line he’d once used on her—and now she threw it right back at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, did you bring your ID this time?” Chen Yansen dodged the question, leaning closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do you need an ID? To my dorm, of course—I’m the only one there. Dare you come?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xingxing squinted, smiling sweetly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Girls’ dorm?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d never unlocked this scenario before—and he felt a flicker of temptation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his phone vibrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen pulled it out—it was Meng Jie’s text. She’d returned early to surprise him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next time—I’ve got to pick up my girlfriend,” Chen Yansen stood up, preparing to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next time—I need to pick up my girlfriend, she’s back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go pick up his girlfriend now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xingxing froze slightly, thinking: Chen Yansen, you’re so blatantly a jerk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guys, this week we’re pushing for three rounds of recommendations—rely on all of you~ Vote more, thank you~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xingxing paused slightly, thinking to herself: Chen Yansen, you’re truly transparently heartless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brothers, this week’s push for three rounds of recommendations depends entirely on you~ Vote more, thank you~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1747,"2026-06-19T19:17:18.227Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b05d415c7c9079befd3e3203cccad1e90dd43152e0ba478882889c0b89e21d16","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-49","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-47",387,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-cover.jpg"]
