Min Zong, this is my boss, Chen Yansen, founder of Fox Tao .”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Min Zong, a pleasure!” Chen Yansen extended his right hand, shaking the man’s firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Min Jie, in his thirties, wore a navy-blue jacket, sported a neat short haircut, had a stern expression, and a hint of worry in his brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Zong, Yifeng told me Fox Tao  made 20 million in sales this Double Eleven—congratulations! You’re a true young talent; at your age, I didn’t even know what a computer was.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Min Jie held Chen Yansen’s hand, his words laced with flattery and deference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Min Zong, you’re too kind. You entered the industry early and have deep experience—chatting with you is a blessing for us young people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen squinted, thought for a moment, then signaled for them to find a private place to talk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In 2010, Meites was struggling—blind expansion, plus a late winter, had piled up inventory; 30% of the company’s total assets were just clothes sitting in warehouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To ease inventory pressure, headquarters pulled over 300 people to build their own e-commerce platform—Meigou.com—with Min Jie as the project lead. He came to the channel conference mainly to seek external traffic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d just heard Zhang Yifeng say Fox Tao  had over one million daily active users, so he became interested and volunteered to meet Chen Yansen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group left the hall and entered a private room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Zong, our group’s self-operated e-commerce platform launches mid-next month—we’d like to integrate your company’s CPS interface…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had they sat down than Min Jie got straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, guide-type e-commerce sites partnering with B2C platforms must first integrate a CPS interface to enable ad-link redirection, order data transmission, performance tracking, and accurate commission settlement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Min Zong, opening the CPS interface isn’t a problem—but have you set the base commission rate for the mall? Different rates mean Fox Tao  allocates different traffic resources.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen agreed readily, then asked in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He naturally welcomed shopping cooperation requests—this fast-fashion brand had once burned from Jinling Road in Husheng all the way to remote towns; though now in decline, it still had many fans in tier-three and lower cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But you match the pot to the lid—if Min Jie wouldn’t give up margin, Chen Yansen would at most place the shopping link on a secondary page, not tilt any extra resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For all categories, I’ll give you a 10% universal commission.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Min Jie fell silent for a long while before speaking slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Min Zong, let’s try a different model. Clothing is a visual product—ample exposure boosts orders. Why not start with your Taobao flagship store and co-host a brand-exclusive event? I’ll directly funnel you a million-level traffic flow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen smiled but said nothing to Min Jie’s offer, instead pivoting to propose a new cooperation model.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A million-level traffic flow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brand-exclusive event?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Min Jie frowned, pondering deeply. Chen Yansen’s proposal thrilled him—but he knew there was no free lunch; the other side must have harsh conditions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are your requirements, Chen Zong?” Min Jie looked up, meeting Chen Yansen’s gaze directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yuncheng, show Min Zong the brand team’s supporting resources,” Chen Yansen said, not answering directly, but turning to Song Yuncheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng nodded, pulled out a laptop from his bag, opened a PPT file on the desktop, and walked Min Jie through the brand team’s resource package.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Website pop-up, once daily, average daily PV exposure 1 million, average daily clicks 300,000, listed price 600,000 yuan;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Website floating banner, displayed all day, average daily PV exposure 800,000, average daily clicks 240,000, listed price 400,000 yuan;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brand-specific activity page, displayed all day, average daily PV exposure 800,000, average daily clicks 240,000, listed price 500,000 yuan;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Plus search page, personal center, and secondary page slots—add them all up, total advertising cost: 2 million yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Min Jie sucked in a sharp breath, his face darkening—he hadn’t expected Chen Yansen to be this ruthless, quoting 2 million yuan outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Zong, Meigou is a startup—we need money everywhere. I can afford 2 million, but you must convince me it’ll generate 10 million in sales.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Min Jie paused, then spoke calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t charge you the 2 million—I’ll treat it as making friends with Min Zong. But for the event’s scale, I’d like to see your sincerity,” Chen Yansen waved a hand, generously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand the brand team’s model—I’ll give 90% commission on ten limited-edition items, make up the remaining 10% with direct payment to hit 2 million total value; for all other regular items, set commission at 30%.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Min Jie paused, then replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fox Tao ’s brand-themed event, in essence, meant dumping traffic onto the activity page—the page split into bestsellers and regular items, with bestsellers drawing traffic and regular items generating profit via long-tail effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“For regular items, I want 70% commission.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen shook his head—he wasn’t satisfied with Min Jie’s reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d come down himself, waived the entire 2 million in ad fees—what good was 30% commission?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they only sold two or three million, Fox Tao  would lose face—and the brand team project might collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“70% is too high. Add in inventory, labor, and logistics costs—we won’t even cover production cost. Maximum 40%.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Min Jie shook his head, but didn’t shut the door completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Min Zong, I’m here to help you! Clothes sitting in warehouses are worthless trash—sell them for cash, or Meites dies.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen leaned back, speaking casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meites’s inventory pressure had nearly reached a brand’s breaking point; for the next decade-plus, Meites would steadily decline, never recovering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was counting on exactly that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through this partnership, he’d make the brand team’s model and method famous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Min Jie fell silent, staring down for a long while, then sighed deeply: “New items can’t possibly offer 70% commission—old stock might, but I can’t decide that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Min Zong, anything from three or five years ago is fine—I don’t care. But quality and cleanliness must be guaranteed,” Chen Yansen said, understanding his position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Give me a moment—I’ll step out to make a call,” Min Jie rose abruptly, excused himself, and left with his assistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Meites’s team had left, Zhang Yifeng couldn’t wait: “Sen-ge, do you think Meites’s boss will agree? 70% commission—that’s a 30% discount across the entire store.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wanted 80% commission originally, but held back considering Min Jie’s rank and authority. Don’t worry—brands with this much inventory have no choice but to cut flesh or die,” Chen Yansen smiled confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I used to watch ‘Meteor Garden’ and thought Meites was some international brand,” Chen Xu chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A dying camel’s still bigger than a horse—they still do billions in annual sales. If not for management blunders causing this inventory mess, calling them China’s leading casual apparel brand wouldn’t be wrong,” Chen Yansen remarked objectively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn’t mess up, how could he snatch the opportunity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Users wanted quality branded products at good prices—overstock was the perfect choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, Min Jie returned with his team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Zong, wishing us a successful partnership! My superiors approved your commission terms,” Min Jie raised his palm upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A pleasure to partner! Choosing Fox Tao  is undoubtedly your wisest decision this year.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen gripped his hand, speaking with quiet confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Min Jie smiled, then summoned the Taobao flagship store’s operations manager to reconfirm with Chen Xu, Zhang Yifeng, and others on product selection, launch timing, rollout pace, after-sales, payment terms, and deposit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, B2C mall commissions relied entirely on finance transfers—if the other side delayed payment, Fox Tao  could only sue, and a year or two of delays was common; meanwhile, user rebates still had to be paid, draining more and more capital, easily leading to being swindled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, this brand event’s projected order volume was huge—without a deposit, if Meites suddenly changed prices, ended the event early, or had quality issues, user experience would be severely damaged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So even though Min Jie argued for hours, Chen Yansen held firm, insisting on an 800,000-yuan deposit—if the other side tried anything, he’d use the money to compensate users per contract terms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chen Zong, you’re impossible to argue with. The event’s set for November 28th—everything after that’s your responsibility.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Min Jie sighed helplessly, conceding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Min Zong, I know Taobao platforms run many events—but price protection must be solid. Otherwise, I won’t hold back—I’ll deduct the price difference from your deposit and pay users directly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen rose, walking and talking with Min Jie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—I’ll arrange it properly,” Min Jie immediately assured, reading from Chen Yansen’s expression that he wasn’t joking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After the event, Chen Zong, please come to Husheng—I’ll treat you as host, and we’ll have a proper drink,” Min Jie said warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a deal! Don’t let your phone go dead then!” Chen Yansen teased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Min Jie laughed, slinging an arm around Chen Yansen’s shoulder, and they returned to the banquet hall, chatting and laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, Fox Tao , as Taobao’s largest external channel for Double Eleven, won the Annual Best Partner Award.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Xu, Zhang Yifeng, and Song Yuncheng held the trophy, grinning foolishly for photos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stingy bastards—no real benefits offered,” Chen Yansen muttered under his breath, eyeing Zhang Yong and Hu Zhilong on stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, this trip wasn’t fruitless—his partnership with Meites reignited his entrepreneurial passion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, the four split in Hangcheng—Chen Xu and Zhang Yifeng followed Min Jie’s group back to Husheng: first to select products offline, second to control quality, third to learn industry experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were quick learners, but to go deep in the industry, they needed to reach the supply chain’s source—understanding fabric materials, prices, and quality was essential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen took Song Yuncheng to a hot spring hotel in Jinling for a day—after two straight days of business travel, he deserved some relaxation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too bad Song Yuncheng refused outright to change into a swimsuit—his biggest regret of the trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only on the night of the 17th did they return to Xu City College.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dorms are locked—what’ll you do? Crash at mine for the night?” Chen Yansen suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, can I stay at a hotel?” Song Yuncheng pushed his suitcase, asking cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sure—then I’m heading home,” Chen Yansen waved and turned to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh!? Boss, no reimbursement?” Song Yuncheng hurried after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re dreaming! The trip’s over—still trying to milk the company?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen shot her a look, annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng stood still, her mind wrestling—then she followed Chen Yansen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paying for a hotel herself? That would kill her!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>7,000 words delivered—lords, please give me some monthly votes~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1789,"2026-06-19T19:17:18.227Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4c19c00fbe838e29048c7931c34eb61177679e4de9166c06b4d4453b1ef01ce7","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-69","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-67",387,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-cover.jpg"]
