He had zero interest; why not hang out with Meng Jie by Pearl Lake and steal a few kisses?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he thought this way and acted on it—those ambiguous feelings at eighteen or nineteen made him especially obsessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating his fill, he hummed a tune and strolled slowly back to Room 0418, sleeping straight through till dawn. For an ordinary college student, weekends were nice—but for Chen Yansen, working was the norm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morning meetings, requirement reviews, campaign operations—his entire morning was spent in meetings, accomplishing nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, though FoxTao was small, it had all the essentials; under his strong push, daily active users and order volumes kept climbing, now just a stone’s throw from the original target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With nothing else to do, he browsed online casually, checking FoxTao’s user feedback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t use FoxTao! Some bastard gave out eggs to get people to register for an iPhone 4—even an 80-year-old grandpa at our village gate got dragged into it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Giving out eggs is genius! I’m heading to my neighborhood gate right now to try it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did anyone actually get a phone for free?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My uncle’s niece got a microwave for free—but you have to recruit tons of new users!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who’s the boss of FoxTao? This guy’s a scumbag—I curse his son to be born without an anus.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen nodded slightly, closed the webpage, exhaled deeply, and thought to himself: overwhelming praise—I’m truly a natural at business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the hundred-billion subsidy text messages go live, he’d likely get even more praise—but a good product must accept user criticism to improve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, he called Wang Zihao and told him to monitor online product reviews and report all positive feedback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Sen, no surprise it’s you!” Wang Zihao gave a thumbs-up, utterly awed by his shamelessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Great achievements don’t care about small morals. A person’s sense of ethics and wealth are usually inversely proportional—got it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen sneered. In his past life, he’d woken up too late and suffered for two or three years—otherwise, he’d have soared long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it, Brother Sen, I’ll handle it right away.” Wang Zihao grinned helplessly and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By the way, find time to ask Professor Liu for advice—learn some finance.” Chen Yansen stopped him to add this specific instruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What use is finance knowledge to someone who handles ad placements?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zihao looked puzzled, but seeing Chen Yansen’s serious expression, he didn’t argue—just grunted in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen opened the data backend, stared intently: yesterday’s new user growth was 193,000, but first-order conversion rate was only 7.1%. Most people still came for the free items—huge room for improvement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weekly retention rate was only 41.3%. In simple terms: of the over a million new users acquired last week, only 400,000 logged in next week, then just 160,000 the week after, and barely 60,000 by month’s end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the fatal flaw of guide e-commerce: it generated neither traffic nor products—just an e-commerce courier. Stop the ads, and you’re sitting waiting to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Chen Yansen didn’t care. In 2010, customer acquisition costs were low; with his utterly ruthless marketing tactics, he could make a fortune before guide e-commerce went downhill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, he could start fresh—whether in food delivery or short videos—he’d have ample confidence and capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 3 p.m., the text message interface was deployed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Rui and the testing team re-reviewed the hundred-billion subsidy logic and backend code until they confirmed no issues, then let Hu Yun import user data and send out marketing texts in batches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, Double Eleven lasted only one day; Chen Yansen’s hundred-billion subsidy coupons lasted fourteen days, giving users plenty of time to decide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“【FoxTao】Hundred-Billion Subsidy Coupon Credited! Dear user, congratulations—you’ve received a 100-yuan exclusive coupon, up to 80 yuan off! Click link immediately to claim. Reply t to unsubscribe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, FoxTao users across the country mostly clicked the link. In this era before spam texts and scams were rampant, most people still trusted familiar websites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some realized the “hundred-billion subsidy” and “100-yuan exclusive coupon” were just hype—their accounts held only discount vouchers, activatable only after purchase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But others were pleasantly surprised: they could activate coupons by buying home appliances or furniture—and instantly became interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buy a water heater, add rebate plus subsidy coupon—save over ten yuan, nearly 20% off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buy a pair of sneakers, apply rebate and subsidy—save over forty yuan, nearly 10% off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buy a down jacket, use rebate and subsidy—save over a hundred yuan, nearly 15% off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Double Eleven approaching, savvy online shoppers immediately sensed an opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, forums, Tieba, and QQ groups filled with helpful people offering to place orders for others—no handling fees, even offering 98% discounts. The uninformed were genuinely fooled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But plenty of smart people quickly spotted their profit model: some quietly copied the method to ride along, while others openly exposed how these proxy buyers made money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the third day, Chen Yansen noticed the anomaly in the data.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, a few users had extremely high daily order volumes, all buying high-priced items. Though Ali’s order data was incomplete, he sensed something off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, the number of new users registered from the same IP address had increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Sen, we found it! Some e-commerce proxy buyers are gaming the system—should we ban their accounts?” Wang Zihao suddenly shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While monitoring user feedback online, he’d spotted people selling FoxTao’s subsidy coupons, finally pinpointing the source of the data anomaly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why ban accounts?” Chen Yansen asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But these people are just exploiting the promotion—it’s too much!” Zhang Wenbo frowned, indignant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhuang Rui, what do you think?” Chen Yansen remained noncommittal, turning to Zhuang Rui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“First, limit new registrations per IP—from five to three. Second, cap the number of orders per IP from the same store. Ali might flag this as fake orders and penalize them. Third, launch a referral campaign: for every new user invited, automatically grant a 1,000-yuan subsidy coupon set.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Rui adjusted his glasses, paused thoughtfully, then answered calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Applause! Zhuang Rui, you’ve improved so much!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen led the clapping, lavish with praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The e-commerce proxy business remained active for over a decade. Before smartphones and 4G became widespread, online shopping required three steps: first, own a computer; second, set up online banking; third, register on an e-commerce platform. These three steps alone blocked 90% of ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen clearly remembered: in Chunshen, street corners had Taobao proxy shops—business was booming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zihao and the others fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They weren’t stupid—they just hadn’t thought of it because they assumed company profits were being harmed, so their priority was eliminating the source of loss, ignoring that in a business ecosystem, every seemingly insignificant link was a crucial success element.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Winning fame in this Double Eleven mattered far more than a few extra percentage points of gross margin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With visibility, he could later negotiate annual framework deals with major B2C platforms, securing advantages in rebate ratios, settlement cycles, and promotion policies—even down to CPA rebates for new users. Without fame, he might not even get past their front door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clap-clap-clap—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunderous applause echoed from the second floor. Everyone stared at Zhuang Rui, praised by the boss, eyes brimming with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Back to work! After Double Eleven, I’ll increase everyone’s November bonus based on gross margin—I want that number as high as possible. Push harder!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen waved them off, signaling everyone back to their desks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following days, the ad team’s budget kept rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Double Eleven itself, ad spending on just five major video sites and three portals reached 600,000 yuan—six times the usual amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, new user acquisition was impressive too; combined with the free-item campaign, daily new registrations broke 300,000 for the first time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen led the operations and design teams in three straight days of grueling work, finally launching FoxTao’s Double Eleven special homepage just before the event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The homepage added thirteen popular product category campaign pages and carefully selected over 2,000 core products from top brands, displayed as brand bundles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire website’s image instantly improved!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the screen in Room 206, real-time data scrolled: today’s order volume and sales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 3:47 p.m., order volume surpassed 200,000!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 5:29 p.m., daily sales broke 10 million yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Qingshan, hearing the commotion, arrived at the startup park at 8 p.m.—the screen now showed 12.03 million yuan in sales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Yansen, are the numbers wrong?” Tang Qingshan stared, incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a week ago, FoxTao’s daily sales were only 200,000 yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few days, had the numbers multiplied dozens of times?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Principal, Ali’s order data has a 15-minute lag—the actual sales are even higher. The data team will re-verify tomorrow using Ali’s backend records.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen answered flawlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Double Eleven was a rare event—once a year—and he had no desire to over-explain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the more successful FoxTao became, the more comfortable his life at Xucheng College would be!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A university president’s network and resources were beyond ordinary imagination—that was precisely why he chose to start his business on campus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Cao, tell the logistics department to prepare fifty portions of late-night snacks and send them to the startup park.” Tang Qingshan nodded approvingly, instructing Cao Dahua.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Right away, I’ll call and arrange it.” Cao Dahua nodded eagerly, heading downstairs—before leaving, he cast a long, thoughtful look at Chen Yansen. This kid really knew how to stir things up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was already in bed at home, and now I’m being dragged out again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do this too often, and your body will break down!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Hangcheng, Ali’s headquarters glowed brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Daniel, GMV just broke 900 million—just one step from one billion. With four hours left, we’ll definitely hit Manager Ma’s target.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A subordinate burst into Zhang Yong’s office, reporting excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why is the sales contribution from Ali Alliance 5.1% higher than usual? Has the data source been traced?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yong stared at the numbers, analyzing calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a guide website called FoxTao. Since midnight, it’s driven 200,000 visits to Taobao’s main site. The data team just confirmed: their total sales today are 12 million yuan.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The subordinate replied honestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>FoxTao?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A guide e-commerce site with daily sales reaching tens of millions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news surprised Zhang Yong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even entertained the idea of meeting the person behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Double Eleven was his own e-commerce gimmick—the higher their sales, the better it was for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1745,"2026-06-19T19:17:18.227Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8842a8ae44e77509a07a814c307c2b2fe1474ec8f0976f377237248a34c45144","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-66","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-64",387,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-cover.jpg"]
