Once the Meites brand event ends and goes offline, we can switch to version 2.0 and show users the new Fox Tao .”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhuang Rui stood up in response to Chen Yansen’s instruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At midnight on December 3rd, switch the UI style precisely. Less than five days left—Hu Li, Xu Kun—you must fully prepare the first batch of limited-time Super Rebate flash sale items. My minimum requirement is 100 products.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen nodded, finished speaking to Zhuang Rui, then walked over to the operations team and gave them serious instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it, Boss. The current issue is that product categories are mostly concentrated in apparel, general merchandise, and small appliances—lack of diversity. Can we use items from the pool to fill the gap?” Hu Li hesitated before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! Super Rebate products must go through the selection and sample submission process. You must filter quality for users—only then will they trust Fox Tao .” Chen Yansen shook his head, rejecting the suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I understand.” Hu Li nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workload is indeed heavy, and with Chen Xu and Zhang Yifeng still on business trips, the operations team has only four members left—juggling product selection and push, merchant outreach, and brand group negotiations, they’re utterly swamped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry—I’ll have Xu Dan post a job listing soon. From now on, product selection goes to new hires, merchant coordination goes to business development, and you and Xu Kun focus on reviewing store and brand qualifications to select the highest-quality products for users.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen smiled faintly, soothingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Dan was the HR specialist hired last time, majoring in human resource management, with wavy long hair and a preference for “boss lady” style outfits—popular with the tech team—so Chen Yansen kept her on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back at his desk, Chen Yansen opened Fox Tao ’s homepage—the mall rebate section currently only lists Taobao, Jingdong, and Paipai. Though Fox Tao  has gained some recognition, to comprehensive e-commerce platforms with annual sales in the billions, it’s still a minor player.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only ones approaching him for collaboration are niche sites like Mengbasha, Maibao, and LeFeng—each with annual sales lower than Fox Tao ’s, yet demanding a 1% commission rate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are they treating him like a fool—or a beggar?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen ignored them entirely. He could earn less—or even nothing—but he would never earn money on his knees. Lying down was acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Vibrating—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he stared blankly, his phone buzzed on the desk. He picked it up—an unknown number. After a few seconds’ thought, he pressed answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, is this Mr. Chen Yansen? I’m Hollis from Amazon’s Channel Department. I’d like to discuss a mall rebate partnership with your company.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice on the other end cut straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amazon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In 2010, Amazon’s scale was smaller than Taobao and Jingdong, but still dozens of times larger than Mengbasha or Maibao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Chen Yansen grew interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What commission rate can you offer?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen asked bluntly—his patience had been exhausted by the previous businesses. If it didn’t meet his expectations, he had no time to waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uh, Mr. Chen, commission rates vary by category, but I can guarantee a minimum of 3%.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hollis paused, surprised by Chen Yansen’s directness, then continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A slow smile spread across Chen Yansen’s lips. Three percent was negotiable—100 million in sales meant 3 million commission; giving half back to users still left him with 1.5 million, plus new-user bonuses—he’d still clear at least a 2% gross margin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With money to be made, Chen Yansen’s tone softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They chatted for over ten minutes, finalized meeting details, then hung up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the other party sent the contract template, Chen Yansen had legal review it first. Once confirmed free of traps, he tapped the desk and looked at Song Yuncheng across from him: “Go to Yancheng on a business trip—leave tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m a UI designer, not—okay, boss, I’ll head back to the dorm and pack right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yuncheng was about to protest, but saw Chen Yansen smirking and whispering “salary deduction”—she immediately changed her tone, pouting in reluctant agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But your expression says you’re not happy. Should I have Xu Dan hire me an assistant during this recruitment?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen raised an eyebrow, half-smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss, really unnecessary! I do two jobs in one—I save you a salary.” Song Yuncheng laughed awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, she had doubled as head of customer service and operations. Chen Yansen raised her salary from 2,000 to 3,000, then to 3,500 at the start of the month—adding overtime and bonuses, her monthly income neared 5,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She genuinely feared he’d deduct her salary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen smiled, called Xu Xingxing to book tickets, gave his requirements, then turned and walked downstairs toward Room 0418.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xingxing glanced at Chen Yansen’s back, then at Song Yuncheng—she always felt their relationship was unusual; why else would he always take Song Yuncheng on trips?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Chen Yansen’s explanations were reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first trip to Tencent—he needed a female assistant who understood products; only Song Yuncheng fit, and Xu Xingxing had just joined. The second time, he said Song Yuncheng had experience. Now he’s calling for her again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xingxing resented it—she’d only been on one trip before—how was that “experience”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen pulled his suitcase, walking out of campus while checking Meites’ sales progress on his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the 28th to 29th at 4 PM—30 cumulative hours of sales—the Meites brand group generated 29.47 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to yesterday, growth slowed sharply; over the three-day campaign, total sales might barely exceed 30 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in 2010’s e-commerce scene, this figure was explosive—evidenced by the nonstop calls from collaboration requests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once Fox Tao  2.0 launches and Super Rebate sales stabilize, such partnership talks can be handed to channel managers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liang Youzhi from Paipai was capable—he’d clashed with Zheng Chunbin before but never cut ties with Liang Youzhi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In casual chat, he learned that Liang Youzhi, who looked twenty-seven or twenty-eight, was actually thirty-three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d previously held roles in business and channel recruitment at EachNet and Amazon. Remember, China’s e-commerce era had only been eleven years—Liang Youzhi was a true veteran of the first internet generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen wanted to poach him, but couldn’t—first, Tencent offered high pay; for a middle-aged man, supporting his family was the priority; second, Fox Tao ’s business model had low ceilings—he wasn’t interested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The novel trope where the male lead draws a big pie and others blindly follow simply didn’t exist in reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen had never encountered it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Human nature is universal. To attract talent, money is just the baseline—the real keys are project potential and future earnings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the campus gate, Chen Yansen flagged a taxi, placed his luggage, and sat in the back seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Driver, wait a moment—another person is coming. We’re heading to Pengcheng Airport.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen glanced toward campus, then explained to the driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver was about to say “I’ll wait for your damn self,” but upon hearing the destination was over a hundred kilometers away at Pengcheng Airport, he smiled warmly: “Alright, no rush.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Song Yuncheng appeared in view, carrying her dull yellow backpack, cheeks flushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t you buy a suitcase?” Chen Yansen asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My bag isn’t broken—it still works,” Song Yuncheng replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get in.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen sighed, told the driver: “First stop, Huamao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No need to waste time—I’m fine with this backpack,” Song Yuncheng waved her hand, firmly refusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen ignored her, tapped the driver’s seat, signaling him to follow his order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The driver smiled, assuming they were a couple, and drove to Huamao’s entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen got out, told the driver to wait at the intersection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He led Song Yuncheng into the ground-floor lobby, spent three minutes selecting a white suitcase, then walked to the telecom counter, turned to her: “Give me your phone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?” Song Yuncheng looked puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m replacing your phone! Are you planning to pull out that knockoff during tomorrow’s partnership meeting to exchange contacts? You’ll be embarrassing me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen snatched her phone, tossed it on the counter, and told the staff: “Please cut this SIM card for me, thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he placed his idle iPhone 4 on the counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iPhone 4’s SIM slot differed from domestic models—it needed the card trimmed down slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff nodded, pulled out tools, and completed the cut in under thirty seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen picked up the trimmed SIM, inserted it into the iPhone, and handed it to Song Yuncheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you,” Song Yuncheng was speechless—she knew his excuse had some logic, but ultimately, he’d just gifted her a 6,000-yuan new phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t thank me! This is a work phone—you’ll return it on your resignation day,” Chen Yansen raised an eyebrow, scoffing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two left Huamao and got back in the car. After a bumpy ride, they arrived at Pengcheng Airport at 8 PM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They checked in, passed security, ate dinner at the airport, then sat in the departure lounge waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen stood before the glass wall and called Liang Youzhi—he’d once worked in Amazon’s Channel Department and should know who currently ran it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding the opponent’s background in advance naturally benefited tomorrow’s meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the conversation, Chen Yansen narrowed his eyes, staring at the distant taxiway, thinking: No wonder they reached out—they’re trying to treat me like a fat sheep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Fox Tao  joins Amazon’s mall rebate via their channel, it must give the channel manager a 5% cut—1 million in rebates means 50,000 for them; 10 million means 500,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yansen sneered, but wasn’t overly concerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A 5% cut was within his tolerance—it was an industry norm. Pay to eliminate trouble; as long as they delivered, it was fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1735,"2026-06-19T19:17:18.227Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","defd4a3bc5e326f44ebb6fab8b413650398b7189dfcafc7e2f157bed24f57460","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-74","i-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-chapter-72",387,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-get-stronger-every-payday-with-one-billion-emp-cover.jpg"]
