Chapter 277: Pony Ma's decision! The first battle with Meituan! You don't get overtime pay?
On July 16, Penguin announced that the number of WeChat users exceeded 200 million for the first time.
"Is Ma Wenteng really lucky? Penguin controlled the traffic entrance in the PC era. Is the mobile traffic entrance going to fall into his hands again?"
Zhou Hongyi at the Yanjing 360 headquarters was so angry that he couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
He became furious when he thought about how he sued Penguin but was countersued by the other party and had to pay Penguin five million in compensation in the end.
Is this reasonable?
Is this fucking fair?
What makes him most uncomfortable is that WeChat has experienced explosive growth in the second half of the year, and is showing signs of becoming the dominant mobile social software.
"Lei Buqun is also a loser. MiTalk was launched earlier than WeChat, but was overtaken by Ma Wenteng."
Zhou Hongyi had just finished scolding Ma Wenteng and turned his attention to Lei Yijun.
When the cumulative sales of the 360 G800 Pro shining mobile phone exceeded 3 million units across the entire network, his attitude towards Xiaomi and Lei Yijun became increasingly contemptuous.
It’s just making a mobile phone, is it that difficult?
After the celebration banquet, Zhou Hongyi, full of confidence, set about setting up a research and development team for 360 mobile phones, intending to bypass Huawei and develop a truly self-developed product.
Damn Ma Wenteng, you want me to compensate you? No way! Thinking of this, Zhou Hongyi took out his mobile phone, quickly edited a text message to greet Ma Wenteng's relatives and friends, and then sent it.
A minute later, Ma Wenteng replied with just one word: 'Joker'.
Zhou Hongyi immediately fought back, only to find that he had been blocked.
At this time, people in the industry all lamented Ma Wenteng's good luck, but some people also believed that Pinbei, which had obtained the first-level traffic entrance of WeChat, was the winner.
Without suffering any hardship, you can rely on WeChat and share the dividends of mobile Internet.
There are many people within Penguin who have this idea, including Zhang Xiaolong.
"You mean, when the contract between Penguin and Pinbei expires, you won't renew the contract with Chen Yansen?"
At the Shenzhen Penguin headquarters, Ma Wenteng looked from left to back and asked with a smile.
"There is no problem with the contract renewal, but I think we can take the opportunity to sell the equity of PaiPai.com, QQ TuanGou and Yixun.com to Senlian Capital. On the one hand, we can get rid of the negative asset burden, and on the other hand, we can exchange it for the high-quality equity of Pinbei."
A director of the Penguin Group pushed his glasses up and proposed a plan.
Whether it is PaiPai.com, QQ Group Buying, or Yixun.com, which was acquired in the first half of the year, the performance has not met expectations. They can neither make money nor make up for Penguin's e-commerce shortcomings.
Ma Wenteng frowned slightly, and wondered in his heart: Will Chen Yansen take over a bunch of junk projects just for the first-level traffic entrance of QQ and WeChat?
"I don't agree with this!" Liu Zhiping was the first to stand up and object.
He had the most contact with Chen Yansen and naturally understood his temper best.
What's more, Pinbei is not in its early stages. It now has 350 million registered users and its average daily sales are stable at around 800 million, which is not much different from Yidong.
It has even surpassed JD.com in terms of daily active users and average daily orders.
If you rashly make enemies with Chen Yansen, you will end up losing more than you gain.
Zheng Chunbin, who was sitting in the corner, felt his face turn pale and blue. He did not expect that in just two years, his and Chen Yansen's status had changed drastically.
At the beginning, he was the general manager of the business department of PaiPai.com, and he always looked down at Chen Yansen.
In the blink of an eye, the other party's wealth and industry influence have reached the same level as Xiao Ma Ge.
But now, he has become the person in charge of a garbage project in the eyes of the big boss.
"I agree with Mr. Liu's idea. The company holds a 15% stake in Pinbei, which may bring hundreds of billions of yuan in revenue to the group in the future. There is no need to make a fuss about the renewal issue."
Another director spoke up.
"Xiaolong, what do you think?" Ma Wenteng did not show any obvious inclination, but asked Zhang Xiaolong, the person in charge of WeChat.
"Mr. Ma, WeChat should not be commercialized too early, but I know that Pinbei carries the group's e-commerce mission and can create rich investment returns. I have no objection."
After thinking carefully, Zhang Xiaolong looked up and answered.
The implication is that he does not support it, but he will not resist it either.
"Martin, when Kuaidi Dache starts its B round of financing, please make a trip and finalize the cooperation with Pinbei."
Ma Wenteng made a rough calculation and found that more than half of the directors agreed to place a heavy bet on Pinbei, so he felt relieved. He then looked at Liu Zhiping and gave instructions with a smile.
"No problem!" Liu Zhiping made an 'OK' gesture and responded readily.
Then, noisy discussions broke out in the office again.
A careful analysis reveals that it is basically based on the B round valuation of Kuaidi Dache, as well as the prospects of the online car-hailing market and when the subsidy war will end.
at the same time.
Shanghai, No. 200, Longcao Road, Yiyuan Office Building.
The large conference room on the second floor of Building A was now packed with people, most of whom were new employees.
"There are three key points to the expansion of the takeaway market. First, we must meet user needs, enrich the selection of dishes, ensure delivery efficiency and quality, and focus on user experience..."
Wang Yuan stood on the podium, training the new employees as the head of Kuaipao's marketing department.
He heard that there were also concentrated training courses for new employees in Luzhou, Jinling, Hangzhou and other places.
This is the "Thousand People, Hundred Cities" plan prepared by Pei Yi.
Simply put, 2,000 development personnel will be trained in advance, including operations, business, marketing and distribution positions.
Once the time is ripe, we will directly launch it in 100 target cities to further accelerate the pace of expansion and seize more market share.
Catch competitors off guard and raise the threshold for industry entry.
"Boss Wang, what should I do if I run into a Meituan salesperson offline and have a dispute with him?"
A recent college graduate raised his hand and asked.
"Kuaipao always adheres to the bottom line of legal and compliant operations, and explicitly prohibits any form of violent communication. However, 'stay calm when encountering problems, and don't be afraid of accidents' is also the code of conduct for us at Kuapao. If you can't win, just run away. Kuapao's delivery department, Yunsu Express, Kuaidi Taxi brothers, and the group's legal department will always be your strong backing."
Wang Yuan said in a calm tone.
The first two sentences were normal, but as the conversation went on, the tone became completely distorted.
There was loud laughter from the audience.
After all, everyone knows that the employees of Senlian’s subsidiaries are famous for their unity and fighting ability.
During the battle with Ele.me in the first half of the year, the few employees who were at the forefront were not only not punished, but the company also actively contributed money and effort. In addition to loss of work wages and nutrition expenses, each person received a bonus of 10,000 yuan.
In an office on the sixth floor, Pei Yi and Kang Guodong finished their conversation and put down their phones.
"Wait another half a month, and the Thousand People and Hundred Cities Plan will be launched. We can't let Cheng Weixing exceed the expansion speed of Kuaipao."
Pei Yi thought secretly.
He and Cheng Weixing have the same boss. Although they fight side by side with Kuaidi Dache in Yanjing, Shijiazhuang, Tianjin, Anci and Tangshan, they are also competing secretly.
The other side.
Wang Xin, who was far away in Yanjing, personally monitored the research and development progress of Meituan Takeout every day, making the R&D staff miserable.
I have to get off work overtime until 11 or 12 every day. The worst thing is that I don’t get overtime pay. Who can bear this? Isn’t it for money that everyone works? “The UI page of the order system must be finalized today. I want to see the result before I leave work. Thank you for your hard work @R&D@Design@Operation@Testing!”
Tang Ling, the project manager in charge of the order module, was still tagging owners of various departments in the group chat at 11 o'clock in the evening, urging them to speed up the project progress.
"Fuck! This person is a dog! She doesn't leave work herself, and she forces us to work overtime."
A development engineer from the technical department stood up suddenly and slammed the table. His voice was neither loud nor soft and just happened to float into Tang Ling's ears.
The designers, testers and operators around couldn't help but look at each other with a look of satisfaction on their faces.
Who the hell doesn’t want to get off work early? They also wanted to stand up and curse, but they just didn’t have the courage.
"Brother Bao, please keep your voice down, others can hear you." Someone bystander advised.
"I'm telling this to her, you idiot. If you don't know, you'd think she's Wang Xin's biological mother. You're trying to exploit us." Zhu Qingbao cursed as he packed his things.
As a senior back-end developer, years of work experience tell him that he should not be so impulsive.
But after a week of overtime work, he couldn't bear it anymore. Who cares? He just wanted to have fun first.
"Brother Bao is so brave!"
"It's a pity that I have parents and children to take care of. It's not easy to find a job. I can't be as carefree as Brother Bao."
"Hahaha, Tang Ling, this curly dog, deserves it!"
Although no one spoke, they were communicating with each other through eye contact, complaining wildly in their hearts, and looking at Tang Ling with a joking look on their faces.
"Zhu Qingbao? What do you mean? Takeout is the company's S-level strategic project for the second half of the year. Do you have a sense of the overall situation? Are you still a Meituan member?"
Tang Ling's face flushed, she ran over angrily and asked in a shrill voice.
"Overall perspective? I'm older than your whole family! I quit! Pay me the full salary tomorrow, or I'll go to the Labor Association every day and hold up banners to see if Wang Xin survives!"
Zhu Qingbao knew clearly that the company would fire him as soon as dawn broke.
"Aren't you afraid of being blacklisted and banned by the entire industry?" Tang Ling sneered and made a blatant threat.
"Who the hell are you? Do you really think you're an important person? Do you always say you represent the entire industry?"
Zhu Qingbao curled his lips, put on his computer bag, and walked out without looking back.
Tang Ling was so angry that she jumped up and down, pointing at Zhu Qingbao's back and cursing.
"Go home and sleep! I am a human being, not an animal! Even a donkey pulling a millstone doesn't have such a hard life."
After a moment's silence, a young man from the operations team yelled in venting his anger, shut down his computer with a click, and strode out of the office.
Tang Ling was slightly stunned. She didn't understand why Zhu Qingbao suddenly went crazy.
This matter soon reached Wang Xin's ears.
After seven or eight hours, the sky gradually brightened.
As soon as Zhu Qingbao arrived at the company, he was called to the HR office and the content of the conversation was exactly what he expected.
N+1 compensation, get out immediately! Zhu Qingbao signed the resignation agreement in silence, and did not even mention overtime pay.
To put it bluntly, he said he was not afraid, but he was still worried that when he joined the next company, Meituan HR would disgust him during the background check.
When leaving Meituan’s headquarters, Zhu Qingbao actually felt a sense of relief.
After returning to the rental house, he started sending out resumes.
At this time, a graduate from Yenching University of Science and Technology posted a question on Zhihu: "What is the salary at Meituan? Should I accept the offer?"
Zhu Qingbao grinned and started typing on the keyboard: "Little brother, listen to my advice: run! Getting off work at 10pm is considered early, and I often work overtime until 12pm. The salary is low, the benefits are few, and there is only boiled water available 24 hours a day. The two years I have been in Meituan are the most tiring six years of my life."
The poster understood immediately and gave up his plan to go to Meituan.
Because Zhu Qingbao's reply was humorous and interesting, this question and answer received thousands of comments.
Meituan's nickname 'Kaishuituan' spread quickly in the industry.
A few days later, Zhu Qingbao had a gloomy face. After being rejected by three companies in a row, he finally realized that Meituan was definitely doing something behind his back.
Zhu Qingbao simply made up his mind and posted @王鑫 on Weibo, criticizing Meituan without any hesitation and posting his check-in records, detailing the various ways in which Meituan exploited its employees.
At first, there was not much traffic, but when Chen Yansen found out, he tagged the other party without hesitation: "Welcome to Kuaipao for an interview! All subsidiaries of Senlian Capital strictly follow the provisions of the Labor Law and pay overtime pay to employees in full. Our company does not have any compensatory leave, and it is shameful not to pay overtime!"
Chen Yansen has more than 30 million fans on Weibo. With his promotion, Zhu Qingbao’s Weibo quickly became a hot topic.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen. I will send you my resume." Zhu Qingbao is also a smart man and responded immediately.
"Wow! The boss is interviewing online!"
"Is this true? I don't believe that Kuaipao's delivery drivers get overtime pay!"
"Mr. Chen is not lying. My brother is a deliveryman for Kuaipao. He is required to be online for eight hours a day, but any hours beyond eight hours are paid overtime."
Someone replied in the comment section.
In fact, the basic salary of Kuaipao’s deliverymen is generally between 1,400 and 1,600 yuan, and that little overtime pay does not add much cost at all.
"I'm a courier for Yunsu Express, and we also get overtime pay."
"I am an operator at the Luzhou Orange Mobile Phone Factory and can testify for Mr. Chen."
"Ah!? There are still companies that don't pay overtime? Fortunately, I'm an employee of Pinbei Technology."
Chen Yansen's move not only hit Meituan's morale, but also boosted Kuaipao's influence in the industry.
Until one netizen said: "I will never use the products of this company. They make money from workers and suck their blood."
This sentence instantly made tens of millions of netizens empathize!
Meituan’s order volume dropped immediately!
Wang Xin suddenly became anxious and hurriedly did public relations, confusing the concepts of compensatory leave and overtime pay, and claiming that employees can choose freely.
This attempt to cover up something that only makes it more obvious made netizens suddenly realize: It turns out that Meituan really doesn’t pay overtime.
Before the competition between Meituan and Kuaipao officially started, Wang Xin was already at a disadvantage in public opinion.
The only way to retain customers is to issue coupons.
But netizens scolded: "See? They would rather spend money on activities than pay overtime."
For a moment, Wang Xin was in a dilemma.
