Chapter 645: 41.79 billion! If you don’t want to be a dog for your boss, go to Senlian Capital!
"Holy crap! My credit card is maxed out! Fumang's lucky bags are awesome! A thermos is worth fifty or sixty bucks!"
"Mrs. Cowboy's lucky bag is the best value. It contains 2 pounds of beef shank, 2 beef rolls, and 2 pounds of beef bones. Unfortunately, it costs 99,999 yuan, and I don't have enough money left!"
"Hey, I got an order! That's awesome! Ahri is so considerate. The lucky bags haven't stopped coming out since 11 PM!"
In the comment sections of Douyin, Kuaishou, Xiaohongshu, Weibo and Douban, netizens are constantly sharing pictures.
There is a lucky bag of socks worth 1999 yuan;
There is a short T-shirt lucky bag worth 3999 yuan;
There is a 9999 yuan underwear lucky bag;
There are also lucky bags of beef combos, foreign liquor, rice, sneakers or laundry detergent for 99,999 yuan.
The netizens who got the tickets were very proud of themselves. After all, they didn’t have to spend a penny and could get credit card points for free.
Those who didn’t get the chance slapped their thighs and regretted it so much.
Every generation has its own eggs. Even if they are free, users still want to try them to see how salty they are, even if they are all stock.
"Lao Ma is too shameless. He is worried about insufficient performance and is forcing orders!"
After learning about this, Liu Qiangdong curled his lips and snorted coldly.
Ali is about to go public, so most people would not dare to falsify sales reports. However, Yaomao Mall condones merchants to inflate transaction amounts, which clearly shows that they cannot afford to lose.
"Boss, Ma Liyun must be panicking. Ever since the March 8th sales, Ali hasn't beaten Pinbei in e-commerce festivals. And since Kuaishou and Douyin launched their e-commerce services, their daily sales figures haven't been as good as Pinbei's."
Xu Lei, who was sitting opposite, chuckled and spoke in a joking tone.
Although it was not Yidong who defeated Ahri, Yidong and Pinbei are a family. Using the inequality to convert, it is approximately equivalent to Yidong defeating Ahri.
Liu Qiangdong smiled faintly, feeling particularly comfortable. He was used to seeing Lao Ma pretending to be cool in front of him, but now Ali was being pinned down and beaten by Pinbei. He wanted to see if Ma Liyun would still dare to act arrogantly when they met next time.
As for the final result of the 618 promotion, he believes that Pinbei will definitely win!
Because Yidong live-broadcasted for 24 hours continuously in the live broadcast rooms of Douyin and Kuaishou, the cumulative sales in a single day exceeded 500 million.
One live broadcast room sold 500 million!
Last night, the number of anchors selling goods live on Douyin and Kuaishou probably exceeded 50,000.
The next morning, Dongfang took the lead in announcing the 618 promotion report: a single-day transaction volume of 14.67 billion yuan.
Compared with Double Eleven in 2013, it is nearly 5 billion higher.
Only Liu Qiangdong knew that Yidong also took advantage of the momentum of Douyin and Kuaishou, and its growth rate was astonishing.
Ali followed closely behind, announcing a figure of 34.82 billion.
It is almost 2.4 times the size of Dongfang!
In front of Ali, Dong is still a younger brother.
"@Pinbei@Huang Zheng@Chen Yansen please show your results! The only e-commerce giant missing out is Pinbei!"
"Ali has been distributing coupons and red envelopes since the end of May. It's hard to win on Pinbei."
"Pinbei: I sent out 3 billion red envelopes!"
Netizens tagged Pinbei and urged the editor to release the battle report as soon as possible.
Ten minutes later, Pinbei announced the transaction volume data of the 2014 618 promotion - 41.79 billion yuan - on Douyin, Kuaishou and Toutiao respectively.
As soon as the news came out, the entire e-commerce circle was shocked.
Many practitioners speculated that Pinbei's performance on June 18th might catch up with Ali, but they never expected that Pinbei's performance would be 7 billion more than Yaomao and Taobao combined.
If the Women's Day sale lost to Pinbei, we would have to use Pinbei's surprise attack and Ali's lack of preparation as excuses, but this time it's hard to find even a decent reason.
"I just did some careful calculations. Pinbei has only been established for two and a half years, and its growth rate is like riding a rocket. It's terrifying!"
"Young and strong are better than the weak! It seems that Teacher Ma is no match for Chen Yansen."
"Thank you, please don't be so mean! Brother Sen has long ceased to be involved in Pinbei's daily operations. The one challenging Mr. Ma is Mr. Huang Zheng."
Some netizens retorted.
But no matter what, it is an indisputable fact that Ahri suffered a crushing defeat.
The number one e-commerce company has officially changed hands!
The landscape of China's e-commerce industry has completely changed!
Ali, which has dominated the top market share for many years, was ultimately unable to maintain its advantage and was successfully "dethroned" by Pinbei, giving up its position as the industry leader.
While Pinbei was immersed in the joy of holding a celebration party, the scene at Ali headquarters was completely different. A depressing atmosphere was overwhelming like a dark cloud covering the city.
Peach Blossom Island Office.
Ma Liyun said nothing.
Lu Zhaoxi looked solemn.
Zhang Yong looked at Cheng Hang, Zhang Tao and Tang Yongbo, and suddenly realized a problem. In the past two or three years, Ali seemed to be going smoothly, but in fact, all the business expansions failed to achieve the expected results.
For example, Laiwang, Dianping and Taodiandian were either suppressed by Penguin or by Senlian Capital.
Big but not strong!
Now even the main business has been lost!
"When is Taobao's live broadcast channel expected to be online?"
After an unknown amount of time, Ma Liyun suddenly asked.
"Before mid-July." Zhang Yong replied immediately.
"It's too slow. I'll give you another ten days. No matter what method you use, I want to see the finished product."
Ma Liyun said with a cold face, shaking his head.
If you don’t fight back, Ali will soon be forgotten by the market!
Lao Ma's voice was not loud, but it added a bit of chill to the already dull atmosphere in the meeting room.
Hearing this, Zhang Yong clenched his hands unconsciously.
He knew better than anyone that Taobao Live took less than two months from project planning to research and development, and the project progress had barely reached 70%. Adding the time required for the internal testing phase, wanting to produce a finished product that could be launched online within ten days was almost forcing the technical team to "rush the project."
But when he saw the red bloodshot under Ma Liyun's eyes and the tense jawline, the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back. He nodded slightly and said, "I will coordinate with the technical department and the testing department to work overnight to ensure that it can be launched on time in ten days."
Cheng Hang added, "I'll contact the merchant operations team right away, pull out the list of Yaomao's TOP 100 brand merchants, and call each one to negotiate live streaming."
Although he was in charge of the social instant messaging app "Laiwang", the product had not yet taken off.
So, under Ma Liyun's instructions, he had to transform "Laiwang" into a hybrid mode software of "short video + instant messaging", and at the same time integrate e-commerce business.
There is no way. Since joining Ali in 2010, he was first responsible for "Yitao", but failed; then he took over "Laiwang" last year, but failed again.
Ma Liyun was willing to give him a third chance, which showed his great patience.
"We can defeat eBay, we can defeat Dongfang, so we can definitely defeat Pinbei! A temporary defeat is nothing, but the Ali people's spirit and determination must not be lost!"
Ma Liyun suddenly stood up and paced around the room several times, constantly speaking encouraging words.
But he was actually very panicked!
Can the launch of Taobao Live stop the decline?
Disaster!
You should know that Pinbei’s live broadcast business relies entirely on Kuaishou and Douyin platforms, and most of its orders belong to the incremental market.
Those users who originally did not shop on e-commerce platforms were attracted by the interactive sales in the live broadcast room and then completed the ordering process, bringing additional transaction volume to Pinbei.
But what Taobao Live wants to compete for is actually the existing users within the Taobao site. In essence, it is just a change of sales form, which is to transfer the sales originally belonging to Juhuasuan to the live broadcast business.
The conversion rate may increase, but it is self-evident how difficult it is to rely on Taobao Live to surpass Pinbei.
at the same time.
At 10 a.m., Pinbei’s Human Resources Department sent a letter to all 9,147 employees of the company.
The content is concise and to the point: From now on, the company will implement the 'work four days on, three days off' work system. Please ask the heads of each department to make good work arrangements and coordination.
Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays are fixed working days, while Fridays and Mondays are floating working days. The overall pattern of staggered rest, that is, rotation system, is adopted.
Employees' rest time is Friday, Saturday and Sunday, or Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Implementing the "work four days and rest three days" work system is not simply about letting employees work one day less, but a systematic upgrade of management models, work efficiency and collaboration processes.
Huang Zheng sat in the office and felt as if the entire office building was shaking, with cheers ringing in his ears.
"Oh, I really don't understand the boss's thinking. Pinbei just surpassed Ali, and he's already implementing a four-day work, three-day rest work system. This is slacking off, and it's easy for Ali to take advantage of it."
Huang Zheng sighed secretly and muttered softly.
In addition to Pinbei, Orange Technology and Deep Blue Battery were among the first companies to implement the "four days on, three days off" work system.
The company said it is a pilot project: if the results are good, it will be implemented long-term; if it has a negative impact on project development, there is a possibility of cancellation.
The rumor that has been circulating for more than ten days has finally come true!
A group of people were very motivated and worked even harder than usual, for fear that poor performance would give the company an excuse to cancel this benefit.
One day off per week, the rest time accounts for 14.3%, and the ratio of work to rest is 6:1;
There are two days of rest per week, and the rest time accounts for 28.3%, and the ratio of work to rest is 5:2;
There are three days of rest per week, and the rest time accounts for 42.9%, and the ratio of work to rest is 4:3.
It’s as close to the experience of working one day and resting one day!
Anyone who has worked knows the huge difference between one day off and two days off, let alone one day off and three days off.
The other side.
At Shenlan Technology's No. 1 and No. 2 factories in Shenzhen, the workers did not show much joy on their faces.
Most of their basic salaries are only 3,300 yuan, and very few of them earn more than 4,000 yuan.
The reason why I can get a salary of eight to nine thousand, or even over ten thousand every month is all thanks to overtime pay.
Working four days less per month means losing 1,200 yuan in income.
Who can accept this?
"I don't agree! I don't want to work four days and rest three days."
A coating operator yelled at the team leader.
"The company is notifying you, not discussing with you. Don't want to do this? Resign immediately!"
The team leader cursed angrily.
When the coating operator heard this, he immediately became discouraged.
Resign?
What a joke!
What is the treatment like at DeepBlue Technology?
Each month, employees will receive a housing allowance of 660 yuan, a meal allowance of 500 yuan, a transportation allowance of 200 yuan, and internal mall shopping money of 200 yuan. Quarterly bonuses will be issued four times a year, with a minimum of 8 months' basic salary and a maximum of 16 months' basic salary.
Five social insurances and one housing fund, supplementary medical insurance and accident insurance are all available.
Where else can I enjoy this kind of treatment in another factory?
At worst, I can set up a stall on the weekend!
Many people were secretly pondering this in their hearts.
For them, this means a loss of more than 1,000 yuan in income every month.
But in Chen Yansen's view, DeepBlue Technology has gained 1,000 more employees and can earn more than 10,000 yuan each year.
What's more, in Shenzhen in 2014, a monthly income of 7,000 to 8,000 yuan before tax was still far ahead of others.
Therefore, although the workers were dissatisfied, they could only complain a few words at most. If they were asked to resign, none of them were willing to do so.
Not long after, news spread that Senlian Capital had officially implemented a 'four days on, three days off' work system.
"Wait a minute, is it four days on and three days off, or four days on and three days off?"
"I feel a bit tired after working four days and having three days off. Can I work three days and have four days off?"
"Seniors can't stand this. Our school's system is: 6.5 on the hour, 0.5 off!"
"Got it! Employees at Sunlink Capital get a long, paid vacation every week! Enough talk, guys. I've already written my resignation letter. Go ahead and submit your resume."
"Just a little-known fact: Sunlink Capital operates on a six-hour workday."
"??? Can someone explain it? I can understand every word, but I don't understand what it means."
The popularity on the Internet exploded instantly!
Although only three subsidiaries in the first batch can enjoy the 'work four days and rest three days' treatment, everyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as the pilot program is effective, given Chen Yansen's style of doing things, it will definitely be fully implemented within the group.
But what really threw netizens off guard was that there were no vacancies at all in the recruitment sections of the official websites of the subsidiaries of Senlian Capital. Even basic positions such as cleaners and security guards were all filled.
Good jobs are always in high demand.
However, after frequently appearing on hot searches for its high salaries, good benefits, and "four days on, three days off" work system, Senlian Capital has left a deep impression on young people who are about to graduate: if you don't want to be a dog for your boss, go to work at Senlian Capital.
…
…
That night, the Ali headquarters was still brightly lit.
Especially the development team of 'Taobao Live', it was almost twelve o'clock, but the office area was crowded.
The front-end, back-end, testing, product and operations are still working hard.
"No, I'm so fucking sleepy, my heart is beating so fast."
Xie Junhao from the backend team covered his chest with his hands, his lips turning pale.
"Fuck! We're all working in e-commerce companies. Pinbei works four days a week and has three days off, but we have to work five days a week and even have to write weekly reports at home on Saturdays. They don't even want to pay us a dime for overtime. Why is that?"
"Xiao Yang, are you crazy? If someone reports this to the big boss, you'll definitely be in trouble on March 25th!"
"3.25? It's not like I haven't memorized it before."
Xie Junhao took a deep breath, and the pain in his heart eased a lot.
He knew that if he continued to work overtime, he might be able to maintain his performance, but he would definitely not be able to save his life.
Ali's performance rating is divided into four levels: 3.25, 3.5, 3.75 and 4.
Once you get two 3.25s in a row, you can prepare to update your resume.
Most employees got 3.5, the king of the rolls got 3.75, and only Ma Liyun’s own son got 4.
Xie Junhao said nothing and took the lead in leaving get off work.
When the others saw this, they muttered a curse, then picked up their backpacks and left.
