Chapter 542: Quarterly Bonus Changes? Chen Yansen: I'd rather not make money than let my brothers suffer!
"Excuse me, I'm a reporter from the Shanghai Economic Morning News. Could you please spare a few minutes of your time for a brief interview?"
The reporter held up the microphone, stopped in front of Li Zhou and Xu Jiacheng, and asked with a smile.
Xu Jiacheng was stunned for a moment, said nothing, and turned to look at Li Zhou.
"Sure, go ahead and ask." Li Zhou replied nonchalantly.
"What are your names?" the reporter handed the microphone forward.
The colleague behind him was carrying a camera, the red recording light on the side of the camera was on, and the lens was aimed steadily at the three people.
"My name is Li Zhou, and his name is Xu Jiacheng."
Li Zhou said this, pointing to Xu Jiacheng beside him and introducing him.
Xu Jiacheng?
This name sounds familiar!
The reporter was startled for a moment, then remembered something and quickly put the microphone close to Xu Jiacheng's mouth: "Mr. Qiao, I remember your daughter did quite well in the college entrance examination and passed the first-tier line. Which university did she end up being accepted into?"
A few months ago, Xu Jiacheng's deeds were reported over and over again by local print media and television stations in Shanghai.
A father with cerebral palsy relies on delivering takeout to support his daughter's education. Such a story would be a hot news in any era.
Although the Shanghai Economic Morning News mainly focuses on financial content, the people's livelihood section occupies a considerable amount of space. The reporter had interviewed Xu Jiacheng before, so he naturally had some impression of him.
"Thank you. My daughter is studying at Pengcheng University of Mining and Technology."
Xu Jiacheng grinned, his face filled with pride as he thought of his daughter.
"Congratulations, Mr. Qiao!" The reporter congratulated him first, then changed the subject and got to the point: "Is this the new uniform that Kuaipao gave you?"
"Yes, two jackets and four T-shirts."
Xu Jiacheng handed one of the bags to Li Zhou, motioning him to hold it, and then opened the remaining bag, revealing the clothes inside.
An orange windbreaker, a light grey down liner, a short T-shirt and a long T-shirt.
The reporter reached out and picked up the down liner, and quickly noticed the content on the label: size L, 90% goose down, 800 fill power, and 128 grams of filling.
Goose down?
The reporter felt a pang of pain in his heart. He glanced down at his down jacket and smiled awkwardly.
You should know that 90% goose down is considered a high-end product, and the purchase cost of one kilogram is 400 to 600 yuan. Many down jacket brands do not even have a filling volume of 100 grams, but dare to mark the selling price as high as 2,000 yuan.
"Boss Chen is really good to you. This down liner alone is worth at least 800 to 1,000 yuan."
The reporter said with envy.
"How much? Isn't an ordinary down jacket only three or four hundred?" Li Zhou, who was standing aside, suddenly widened his eyes and asked in surprise.
"Down jackets that cost three or four hundred yuan are mostly filled with gray duck down. Even white duck down is rare. Yours is goose down, which is the warmest and the most expensive."
The reporter explained slowly.
His family only had one goose down product, which was a goose down quilt his mother-in-law bought him when he got married.
"By the way, are these work clothes given for free, or do they need to be deducted from wages?" the reporter asked again.
"No money." Li Zhou shook his head.
"Excuse me, has the basic salary increased this year?" the reporter continued to inquire.
As the only company among the three major food delivery platforms that pays a basic salary to deliverymen, the outside world has always been curious whether Kuaipao will give deliverymen a salary increase this year.
"It hasn't increased." Li Zhou told the truth.
No increase?
The reporter was full of surprise. Based on his understanding of Chen Yansen, this world's richest man born in the 1990s has always liked to give his employees salary increases.
Some financial bloggers have even estimated that based on Kuaipao's revenue level and human cost investment, it can only achieve a net profit of 3%, which is considered a very good operation.
In other words, if the annual turnover of Kuaipao Takeout is 100 billion, its net profit will probably be only 3 billion, and its profit margin is not even as high as the annualized return of Yu'e Bao.
"It's true that there's no increase, but the quarterly bonus has changed. The minimum is two months' base salary."
Xu Jiacheng quickly added.
The base salary of Kuaipao delivery drivers did not increase by a penny in 2014, but the quarterly bonus system was changed to 2 to 4 months' salary.
Quarterly bonuses are paid four times a year, with a minimum of 8 months' base salary and a maximum of 12 months' base salary.
Of course, the basic salary of Kuapao riders is actually not high, basically between 1,600 yuan and 2,000 yuan, and this is the standard in Shanghai.
In cities like Luzhou, Jiangcheng and Greentown, the basic salary is only 1,200 to 1,600 yuan.
The extra four months of base salary is equivalent to an extra 5,000 to 6,000 yuan in income.
On average, this is equivalent to a base salary increase of 500 yuan per month.
It’s not much, but compared with the treatment of Qiandu Waimai and Taodiandian, Kuaipao is very conscientious for riders.
at the same time.
Yunsu couriers also received brand new work clothes, which were completely gray with three white reflective strips on the back to improve riding safety at night.
The inner liner is the same as that of the Kuaipao delivery man, with a uniform light gray fabric and goose down filling.
In this deep winter season, you will feel warm when you wear it.
On that day, the staff of Kuapao and Yunsu in the East China region put on brand new work clothes and ran around in the streets and alleys, attracting a lot of attention.
"Fuck! We're all delivery guys, but the pay difference is so huge."
"Haha, who says it's not true? I heard Kuaipao gave its riders a raise again. They can get at least 8 months of bonuses a year!"
"How many?"
"Oh my god, I really regret this! Kuaipao was hiring half a month ago, but I didn't go because the price was too low. Now I want to go but there's no vacancies."
Several riders from Qiandu Waimai and Taodiandian gathered together, chatting in twos and threes.
As the food delivery war intensified and the number of orders surged, Kuaipao faced a shortage of transportation capacity and selected a group of part-time riders to become full-time.
Some people also think that Taodiandian’s unit price is high, so they switched from their part-time rider job at Kuapao to work there. As a result, they found that the unit price is indeed high, but it is not as good as Kuapao in terms of order volume and order density.
Moreover, they also lost the opportunity to become regular employees.
Because now Kuapao no longer recruits full-time riders from outside, but only selects from internal part-time riders.
Once you start delivering food for Taodiandian or Qiandu, you won’t even have the chance to interview.
Open the Kuapao rider part-time job app, and those who have not accepted an order in the past week will be eliminated directly.
"Brothers, hurry to Century One! Security guards are beating our people!"
At this time, a Qiandu deliveryman shouted in the rider chat group.
"Brother Legs, should we go?"
"Century No. 1? I've delivered it twice, but the security guards were so arrogant that they wouldn't let the electric bikes into the community. I gave the guard dog a Liqun cigarette, but they thought it was too low-quality and threw it on the ground."
"I know this neighborhood. I usually refuse orders. I'd rather have my money deducted than suffer this humiliation."
"Let's go! Let's go and take a look!"
Several Qiandu deliverymen quickly jumped on their electric scooters and headed towards Century One.
The riders with peach-colored spots were there to watch the fun. At first, half of them followed, and the rest thought about it and then followed.
If you hide and don't show up at this time, who will be willing to help you if you are harassed by the security guard one day?
When they arrived, the gate of the community.
The orange ones are Kuaipao riders, the blue ones are Taodiandian riders, and the red ones are Qiandu takeout riders.
"Apologize!"
"Apologize!"
"Apologize!"
Waves of sound rolled towards the security booth.
A young man in his twenties was sitting on the edge of a flower bed, holding his nose, the tissue in his hand stained bright red.
"Have you called the police?"
Brother Tui squeezed in and asked a Qiandu takeout rider while pulling him.
"I just called, I think they'll be here soon."
The Qiandu delivery man replied.
"What's going on? Are you so cruel?"
Brother Tui asked curiously.
"When the security guard refused to let him in, this guy imitated Chen Yansen, the man who ran away with his chopsticks. He put the takeaway on the windowsill of the security room and was about to leave when the bastard in the room pulled him off his electric scooter."
The Qiandu delivery man spread his hands and said helplessly.
Brother Tui stood on tiptoe and saw an electric bike lying on the ground, with even the plastic cover of the front wheel cracked.
After a while, the nearby inspector came over, pushed through the crowd, looked at the injured delivery boy, and waved towards the security room.
The security guard who beat the man only dared to come out when he saw the inspector was present.
The inspector first asked the security guard and then the delivery man, and quickly figured out the situation.
"Give him 1,000 yuan first and ask him to go to the hospital for a check-up. Leave me your phone number and we'll talk to him after he sees the doctor."
The older inspector immediately made arrangements.
1,000 yuan?
The security guard lowered his head and refused to answer.
His monthly salary is only over 5,000 yuan, but he gives the delivery driver 1,000 yuan. What is he thinking?
It's just a broken nose, can't it be fixed by stuffing some cotton in it?
Want to extort money? No way!
Seeing that he was not listening, the inspector's face darkened. "How can you not understand what's going on? Either come back to the station with me, or both of you?"
"Apologize first! You hit someone and acted so confident!"
"Right! You can't leave without an apology!"
"Wasn't the beating just now very fierce? Now try it again!"
Among the delivery guys in the front row, most of them ordered takeout from Qiandu, and there were also quite a few who ordered takeout from Taodian.
There are relatively few riders on Kuaipao, only a dozen or so in total.
"Speak!" the inspector asked sternly.
"I don't have any money." The security guard said stubbornly.
Anyway, I don’t have any money, so don’t even think about an apology.
The inspector was so angry that he laughed, knowing that he was in trouble.
People like this will become obedient after a few days in prison.
He originally wanted to take both parties back to the inspection station, but the deliverymen surrounding them refused to agree and insisted that the security guard apologize on the spot.
The inspector tried to persuade him for a long time but to no avail.
Seeing that the evening rush hour was approaching, the riders of Kuaipao got on their electric scooters and left.
After all, this matter has little to do with them. A notice was sent out on the company's intranet early this morning: If you encounter a community or shopping mall that you are not allowed to enter, just report it and the company will step in to resolve it.
Either ask the security guard to deliver the goods, or negotiate to use the takeaway cabinet, or increase the delivery fee, or directly block the delivery address of the community.
The boss's original words were: "I would rather not make money from this community than let my brothers suffer injustice."
The inspector tried to persuade them at the scene for a long time, but seeing that both sides were stubborn and neither was willing to give in, he took out his cell phone and called the station to notify the management of Qiandu and Taodiandian to handle the matter.
About ten minutes later, the administrators of the two food delivery platforms sent a notice in the work group: "Everyone leave Century One within ten minutes, otherwise you will be fined and penalized at the very least, or even have your account blocked."
This trick is very effective!
It's okay to help out, but you can't do that at the expense of your own interests.
In less than five minutes, most of the deliverymen dispersed, leaving only a few stubborn ones who were still arguing with the inspectors.
Others cursed Li Yanhong and Ma Liyun for being inhumane.
When their own riders were bullied, not only did they not stand up to support them, but they turned their guns on their own people.
The video on Douyin went viral!
"There's so much blood on the ground! This security guard is going too far!"
"You can't say that. The property management has its own rules, and the security guards are just following them."
"You're a fucking dishwashing liquid! You really know how to wash! Did the property management let him beat someone up?"
"It's a pity that he's a driver for Qiandu Waimai. If he was a rider for Kuaipao, Chen Yansen would definitely stand up for him."
"Are there any Kuaipao riders in Shanghai who can tell me how you usually handle orders from this community?"
In less than half an hour, the video became a hot topic and netizens were discussing it enthusiastically.
"The station just sent a notice that Kuaipao has blocked the delivery address for this community, so I can't order takeout."
"Brother Sen has spoken. Even if we don't make money, we can't let our brothers suffer any injustice."
"When Century One is fully rectified, the shielding will be lifted."
Not long after, a rider from Shanghai replied in the comment section.
While netizens were shocked, they also felt that everything was expected.
Given Chen Yansen's protective personality, it does seem like something he would do.
In addition, someone in the comment section mentioned the various achievements of Kuaipao Law Firm in the past two years.
For example, if a driver hits a Kuaipao rider and refuses to compensate, he will have no choice but to pay after being sued by Kuaipao.
If a Kuaipao rider hits a car, the company has insurance and the legal department will assist in handling the matter.
In contrast, Qiandu and Ali, although they bought accident insurance and third-party liability insurance for their riders, they pushed all the responsibility to the insurance company after an accident.
He looked as if it had nothing to do with them.
But if the rider does good things, or if the rider's children are admitted to a prestigious university, Qiandu and Ali will jump out to take advantage of the popularity.
"Brothers, Qiandu Takeout can no longer operate, so I'm going to Kuaishou to deliver food."
"Kuaipao closed down the community, Taodiandian blocked the rider's account, and made money for Boss Ma, but he treated me like a nobody."
"The same thing happened with Qiandu Waimai. 16 of the riders who were on site this afternoon had their accounts blocked."
In the rider circle in Shanghai, greetings were extended to Ma Liyun and Li Yanhong's entire family.
I used to think that part-time riders at Kuaipao had no basic salary, no social security, and had to pay for their work clothes, electric bikes, and takeout boxes themselves. The unit price was no different from that of Qiandu Waimai and Taodiandian. But when they encountered problems, they realized that...
There are differences in working for different bosses.
The next day, some experienced Qiandu Waimai and Taodiandian riders changed their clothes and became riders for Kuaipao.
Seeing this situation, Pei Yi increased the number of recruits in the East China region.
Even if the delivery department cannot accommodate so many riders, there are still plenty of positions available for grocery shopping and group buying businesses.
In the next few days, orders from Qiandu Waimai and Taodiandian were delayed on a large scale because at least one-fifth of the riders who were familiar with the routes and community layout changed jobs.
It just so happened that at this time, Yunsu Express was recruiting a large number of couriers. Many people didn't think much about it and immediately changed their careers and joined Yunsu.
After all, Yunsu Express’s benefits are not bad. Although the commission is lower than that of takeout, the basic salary is high.
Faced with the continuous loss of transportation resources, Tang Yongbo took the initiative to find Ma Liyun.
"Starting tomorrow, we'll overhaul the delivery department and select some experienced riders to become full-time workers. They'll receive a base salary and social security contributions!"
After thinking for a moment, Ma Liyun announced solemnly.
Taodiandian’s takeaway business can bring a lot of traffic resources to Yaomao and Taobao, thereby improving user stickiness and platform revenue.
So even if we don't make money, we have to keep this business going.
The other side.
At the Qiandu headquarters building, Li Yanhong and Wang Zhongpu were chatting face to face.
"Boss, although the crowdsourcing model saves management and labor costs, it is difficult to guarantee delivery time and service quality. We need our own full-time delivery staff to maintain our moat."
Wang Zhongpu said seriously.
"What you mean is that we should learn from Kuaipao to pay basic salary, social security and insurance to full-time riders?" Li Yanhong asked back.
Wang Zhongpu said nothing and nodded heavily.
The next day, Ali and Qiandu announced that they would form a team of full-time riders, pay them a basic salary and pay social security.
After learning about this, Chen Yansen couldn't help but laugh.
I have actually changed the development direction of the food delivery industry. The era of universal social security for full-time riders is here!
