Chapter 596: 270,000 delivery drivers! You look like a saint! Taking over Sanyo Electric?
The next day, a Gulfstream 550 landed at Pudong International Airport.
Chen Yansen and Meng Jie walked out of the VIP channel and took the elevator to the underground parking lot.
Guo Shenyi and Meng Yun followed closely behind, and at the outermost edge were two tall security guards in suits and ties, as well as the driver Xiao Li.
Afterwards, Chen Yansen got into a black Maybach and sped towards the city center.
He came to Shanghai not only for the opening ceremony of Orange Supermarket, but also wanted to visit the headquarters of Yunsu and Kuaipao.
However, it was almost twelve o'clock at this time, and Chen Yansen was too lazy to bother Pei Yi or Liao Wei, so he simply asked Xiao Li to drive to Century Avenue, planning to have lunch at Yaohan first and then go to Longcao Road in the afternoon.
There were dark clouds outside the car window, and muffled thunder could be vaguely heard in the distance. It looked like a rainstorm was coming soon.
"The weather changes so quickly! It was still sunny when I flew here from Luzhou this morning."
Mengjie rested her chin on her head and spoke softly.
Chen Yansen leaned back in the back seat, crossed his legs, and replied nonchalantly, "Shanghai's weather in April is like this. It changes so quickly. Once the plum rain season arrives, it's normal for the rest of the month."
"You know quite a bit about it?" Meng Jie asked with a blink.
"It's just common sense." Chen Yansen smiled lightly.
Not long after, the car arrived at the entrance of Yaohan shopping mall.
Two security guards quickly got out of the car, opened two large black umbrellas, and walked quickly to the back door.
Chen Yansen got out of the car first, with the umbrella firmly covering his head. Meng Jie, Guo Shenyi and Meng Yun followed behind, and they walked quickly into the mall.
As soon as I stepped into the gate, bean-sized raindrops hit the ground with a "crackling" sound, splashing tiny water droplets.
The sky was suddenly filled with lightning and thunder!
at the same time.
Locals who wanted to go out for dinner have retracted their plans and opted to order takeout at home instead.
On the streets and alleys, Kuaipao deliverymen wearing orange windbreakers are constantly riding electric bikes. The food boxes in the baskets are tightly wrapped with waterproof cloth, and the rain hats are pulled down low, revealing only a pair of eyes that are focused on watching the road.
It’s common sense that the worse the weather, the higher the takeout orders and delivery fees.
After the takeaway war ended, the daily order volume in the country fell back to just over 30 million, with Kuaipao accounting for 80% of them.
In order to ensure sufficient transportation resources, Zhang Xuhao selected 70,000 part-time riders in batches and converted them into full-time riders.
Today, the total number of employees in Kuaipao’s rider department has exceeded 270,000.
Together with the staff in the technology, business, operations, finance and legal departments of the headquarters and branches, the total number is more than 300,000.
Looking at the private enterprises across the country, there are only a handful of them.
This time's rider regularization plan has benefited countless people.
The reason is very simple. Full-time riders have a basic salary, social security contributions, and four quarterly bonuses a year. Even electric bikes and work clothes are provided free of charge by the company.
During festivals and holidays, the minimum red envelope is 200 yuan.
The treatment of part-time riders is much worse. They only receive delivery commission, order completion rewards, bad weather subsidies, accident insurance and third-party liability insurance, and no other benefits.
Compared with Taodiandian and Qiandu Waimai, the income is one level higher.
But it is completely incomparable to the full-time riders of Kuaipao.
Liang Yue is one of the lucky ones. With an average of 40 orders per day, a 4.8 service rating and a 99.4% on-time delivery rate, she got the opportunity to become a regular employee.
At this moment, she was trotting out of the mall carrying three takeouts.
"Mom." The three-year-old daughter stood next to the electric car and called softly.
The little guy has almond eyes and rosy cheeks, and is very cute.
She accompanied Liang Yue in delivering takeout for more than a year. When Liang Yue picked up or delivered food, she was responsible for guarding the takeout boxes to prevent anyone from stealing the food.
"Yuting, good boy, are you hungry? After mommy finishes delivering these orders, I'll take you to the cafeteria for lunch."
Liang Yue put the takeaway into the thermal box, lowered her head, touched her daughter's face and asked.
"Yuting is not hungry, Mom, let's go quickly, otherwise we will be late."
Yang Yuting was a smart little girl, and she acted like a supervisor, urging Liang Yue to get in the car.
Liang Yue nodded, put her daughter on the small bench in front of her, and then held her tightly with her legs. The two people, one big and one small, rode the electric scooter and rushed into the heavy rain.
She is a single mother. Her husband died in a car accident and all the compensation was taken away by her mother-in-law and father-in-law, leaving her with not a penny.
The other party's original words were: You gave birth to a daughter, and you might remarry in the future. Do you want to use my son's funeral money to support your child with another man?
As for Yang Yuting, in the eyes of her mother-in-law and father-in-law who favor boys over girls, it doesn't matter whether she has it or not.
Therefore, Liang Yue was so angry that she took her daughter to Shanghai to work.
She heard that there are many job opportunities and high salaries in Shanghai.
But after she arrived, reality dealt her a heavy blow.
Shanghai's economy is indeed developed and there are many high-paying jobs, but they are obviously not for someone like her who only has a high school education.
After several setbacks, she finally faced the reality.
There were a lot of jobs on the factory assembly line, and one could get the job by paying a referral fee, and earn three to four thousand a month. But when the agent heard that she wanted to bring her daughter, he frowned and eliminated her.
What a joke!
This is a factory, not a kindergarten or a charity!
She has also tried jobs as a restaurant waiter, a clothing store salesperson, and a shopping mall cleaner.
But the waitress had to work the night shift and there was no one to help her look after the child;
The shopping guide needs to stand all day long, and even if the daughter sits in the corner, the boss still thinks she is an eyesore.
The cleaning job has flexible hours, and I can just leave my daughter in the storage room, but the salary is pitifully low, only three thousand yuan a month.
Finally, when she was at her wit's end, she learned about the delivery job.
Although she had no experience, she gritted her teeth, took out her meager savings, bought an electric scooter and started running Meituan Takeout.
After getting familiar with the job for a while, she realized that the treatment at Kuapao was better, so she started working as a part-time rider for Kuapao.
At the beginning, because we were not familiar with the routes and the distribution of buildings in the community, we often couldn’t find the apartment building where the customers were located.
It is common to be fined, have money deducted, and be insulted by customers.
She goes out before dawn every day. Her daughter sits on a small bench in front of the electric car, wrapped in a thick cotton jacket and holding a small hot water bottle in her hand, accompanying her to pick up and deliver meals to each household.
When it rains, she protects her daughter in a raincoat.
One winter, when it snowed heavily and the road was icy, she almost fell off her bike in a hurry. Although her daughter was frightened and hugged her waist tightly, she still whispered to comfort her: "Mom, let's ride slowly. There's no rush. Yuting is here."
This is also the motivation that keeps Liang Yue going.
Especially in the last month, she finally became a full-time rider for Kuapao, with a monthly salary of 1,800 yuan. The company also pays her social security, and the delivery fees and rewards for completing orders are also much higher.
The lives of mother and daughter are visibly improving.
The monthly housing allowance of 360 yuan, transportation allowance of 200 yuan, employee mall shopping money of 200 yuan and meal allowance of 500 yuan may not seem like much, but it has allowed Liang Yue to completely bid farewell to the days of being stretched to the limit.
Beep beep beep——!
The rain in Shanghai is heavy and fast!
It was not until 1:40 that Liang Yue finished her lunch rush hour. She had delivered a total of 19 orders. Perhaps because she had not eaten, or perhaps because she had climbed too many stairs, her legs were shaking.
Full-time jobs have high incomes and good benefits, but during peak periods the number of orders is staggering, and it's difficult to handle without some physical strength.
A few minutes later, Liang Yue turned right at the intersection and saw a Kuaipao canteen in the distance.
"Mom, we're in the cafeteria!" Yang Yuting swallowed and said.
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat for lunch?"
Liang Yue stopped the car and asked with a smile.
"Mom, I'm not hungry." Yang Yuting replied hypocritically.
In fact, she had been hungry for a long time, but she didn't dare to say anything for fear of delaying her mother's work.
Liang Yue's heart softened, and she took her daughter's hand and pushed the door into the cafeteria.
"Sister Liang!"
"Sister Annan!"
Before Liang Yue could respond, her daughter broke free from her hand and trotted towards Li Annan.
"Hey, Xiao Yuting, you're accompanying your mother to deliver food again."
Li Annan rubbed Yang Yuting's head and said.
"I'm not Xiao Yuting. I'm three years old and a big kid." Yang Yuting corrected in a serious tone.
Liang Yue said to Li Annan, "Annan, I'll get the food first. Please help me watch her order."
"Sister Liang, go ahead. Yuting is very well behaved."
Li Annan waved his hand and said.
She has been working in the Kuaipao canteen for two months and has gradually integrated into the team.
At this moment, a customer who was eating in the restaurant looked at Liang Yue and Yang Yuting, then stood up and walked over and said, "Hello, I'm a field reporter for the News Square. Can I have a few minutes to do a simple interview?"
"Interview?" Liang Yue was slightly stunned while holding the dinner tray.
"That's right." The reporter nodded.
"Xinwenfang" is a local livelihood news program in Shanghai, mainly reporting on the daily lives of ordinary people, such as neighborhood disputes in alleys and the effectiveness of the implementation of new community policies.
When he saw Liang Yue delivering takeout with her three-year-old daughter, he immediately realized that this was good news.
"If the show is successful, I can help you apply for a subsidy ranging from 200 to 1,000 yuan."
Seeing Liang Yue's hesitation, the reporter quickly added.
"Okay." Liang Yue thought for a moment, and for the sake of the money, she agreed.
Anyway, there are fewer orders after the lunch rush hour, so it’s also a good time for a break.
Seeing Liang Yue agreed, the reporter immediately took out a recorder and notebook from his backpack, sat down in the empty seat opposite her, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your cooperation. Let's just chat casually. Don't be nervous."
Yang Yuting on the side blinked her big eyes, looked at the reporter, then turned to look at Liang Yue, her little hands tightly clenched the corner of her clothes, and did not dare to speak.
The reporter looked at Liang Yue and asked, "Excuse me, why do you bring your child along to deliver food?"
Liang Yue's eyes flashed with helplessness, and she slowly said, "The child's father passed away unexpectedly, and my parents-in-law don't like us, so we had no choice but to come to Shanghai to work.
I looked for many jobs at first, but the factory didn’t like me taking care of children, and the waiter had to work the night shift. In the end, I had no choice but to become a delivery driver.”
She paused and said, "There's no one to take care of the child, so I have to take her wherever I go. Fortunately, she's sensible and doesn't make any noise or fuss."
The reporter's pen kept ticking as he quickly wrote in his notebook. When he looked up, his eyes showed a hint of empathy: "Is the daily work very hard?"
When Liang Yue heard this question, a smile appeared on her face unconsciously: "Delivering food is very tiring, but every time I see the pay slip, I don't feel it's hard anymore.
I am really grateful to Mr. Chen for giving me this job so that I can take good care of my daughter."
"But don't you think it's dangerous to take your daughter with you on a food delivery trip?"
The reporter asked a sharp question.
"I know, but no one takes care of her."
Liang Yue lowered her head, took her daughter's hand, and said with a wry smile.
Of course she knew it was unsafe.
So she also considered sending her daughter to daycare.
But the cost is not low, starting at 2,000 yuan a month, which is too much pressure for her.
The reporter was silent, wanting to say a few words of comfort, but didn't know what to say.
He knew very well that there were thousands of workers like Liang Yue in Shanghai.
What he can do is to write the news in a more realistic and moving way, thereby attracting more social attention and promoting the resolution of such phenomena.
…
…
Xu Hui, in a luxurious and spacious executive suite.
After taking a shower, Chen Yansen walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.
I saw Mengjie wearing a Usagi Tsukino Cosplay costume, holding a mobile phone, looking dazed.
"What are you looking at? So engrossed?"
Chen Yansen walked up, grabbed Mengjie's twin ponytails, and shook them left and right.
"Take a look at this news." Meng Jie handed her cell phone to Chen Yansen.
"The takeaway life of a female rider and her three-year-old daughter: The biggest fear is the lack of an elevator!"
Chen Yansen took a glance and could easily tell from the other person's work clothes that this person was a full-time rider for Kuaipao.
But he didn't believe it at first.
He knows too well the morality of the media and is well aware of the dark side of human nature. He might be using tactics like staged photos and traffic diversion.
He thought about it, sent the news link to himself, and then sent it to Zhang Xuhao, asking him to verify it.
However, this news gave him a wake-up call.
Sunlink Capital has hundreds of thousands of employees, and there are many couples working for it. It is indeed necessary to set up a nursery or employee kindergarten, which can not only solve the employees' worries, but also provide additional jobs and gain more humanitarian support.
Half an hour later, Zhang Xuhao replied: The news is true. The other party has just been converted to a regular employee. He has been a part-time rider for Kuapao and has worked diligently.
"Okay, I understand." Chen Yansen replied.
Then he dialed Pei Yi's cell phone number.
"Brother Sen, please tell me." Pei Yi had just arrived home.
An hour ago, he, Chen Yansen and Liao Wei had been in the Pullman box, chatting about business direction planning all night. He was about to have a small meeting with his wife when he received a call from Chen Yansen.
"I want to acquire a nursery with a mature business model. Please ask Kuaipao's local life service department to do some research and report back to Gao Weilin."
Chen Yansen gave the order directly.
nursery?
Pei Yi was confused because Zhang Xuhao had not had time to report to him, so he had no idea why Chen Yansen wanted to acquire a nursery.
Our previous discussions were all about Orange Supermarket’s supply chain, Yunsu’s logistics optimization, and the preparations for Pinbei Supermarket. How come the discussion suddenly turned to the nursery?
But the boss has spoken, so just do it.
After Chen Yansen finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Meng Jie understood Chen Yansen's thoughts, so she stared at him intently and said, "You look like a saint."
"That sounds like a curse. As the saying goes, good deeds go unpunished, but evil deeds last for thousands of years. I don't want to be some bullshit saint."
"Tonight, the saint will consecrate you."
Chen Yansen threw his phone away, hugged Mengjie and walked towards the master bedroom.
…
…
Early the next morning.
While Chen Yansen was having breakfast, Gao Weilin called to report, "Boss, Sanyo Electric is withdrawing from the Chinese market. Secretary Tao from the Central Department wants to know if you're interested in taking over."
