Chapter 699: Sixteen years of hard study, but the salary is not as good as a nanny? A job market worth tens of millions!
In 2014, there was no accurate industry data on the number of people engaged in domestic work such as cleaning, nanny, and confinement nanny in China.
No one can give a definite answer as to whether the exact number is 20 million or 10 million.
The reason is very simple. This group of people is highly mobile and most of them have never even paid social security. How can they be counted?
Kuaipao's move to cross over into the domestic service industry is also seen by many netizens as a waste of time.
After all, the wool comes from the sheep!
The money for paying social security and buying insurance for domestic workers must come from somewhere. After all, don’t you still have to take a cut?
This was also the first thought of most people, so it was difficult for Pei Yi to promote the establishment of the housekeeping channel.
Because we can’t recruit anyone!
Take a common situation for example: the employer offers the nanny a monthly salary of 5,000 yuan. According to the previous model of using an agency, the nanny usually only needs to pay an agency fee, and then she can get the 5,000 yuan salary every month without any deduction.
If that’s the case, why should we take out the money and let Kuaipan distribute it?
However, with the joint efforts of the local sales team and training staff, Kuapao successfully signed the first batch of more than 8,000 domestic service workers, mainly concentrated in first- and second-tier cities.
Domestic service workers can choose to work full-time or part-time.
Among them, the part-time model is no different from the traditional intermediary model.
Full-time employees will be treated as formal employees by Kuapao, and the platform will be responsible for providing them with a basic salary, as well as a series of benefits such as social security, commercial insurance, and performance bonuses.
at the same time.
In Shanghai, there is a Kuapao housekeeping recruitment point located on Guanglan Road.
Forty-two-year-old Li Jiafeng stood at the door, her eyes fixed on the promotional poster on the roll-up banner.
"Kuaipao Housekeeping: Monthly salary 6,000 to 20,000 yuan, four days of paid vacation per month."
20,000 yuan?
Is this true or false?
She is from Anhui Province and previously worked at the Hebi Electronics Factory. However, the factory provided no accommodation, and the work required two 12-hour shifts, which was even harder than farming in her hometown.
In this way, she held on for more than a year, but finally ran away.
Then he worked in the construction site kitchen for another two years, responsible for making some big pot dishes with a little meat flavor every day.
Two years ago, she heard that she could earn at least 5,000 yuan a month by working as a live-in nanny, with food and accommodation provided.
As long as you don't spend money recklessly, saving 60,000 yuan a year is a sure thing.
So she found an agency and successfully found a job as a live-in nanny. However, because she didn't know how to use many household appliances, she was fired after just a few days.
She had no choice but to sign up for a class and learned how to use a washing machine, microwave oven, and air fryer. Only then did she find a job that suits her.
Unexpectedly, her previous employer complained that she had a loud voice and was not careful enough in cleaning.
As a result, she lost her job again.
"Sister, it's windy outside. If you want to know more, you can come in and sit down."
Yao Yu was sitting in the house. He caught a glimpse of Li Jiafeng hesitating outside the door, then walked out and said with a smile.
"Sister, the salary written here, is it a lie?"
Li Jiafeng pointed at the roll-up banner in front of her and asked.
"Of course it's true! Kuaipao Housekeeping, Kuaipao Takeout, and Kuaipao Grocery all belong to the same company, and the boss is Chen Yansen."
Yao Yu immediately responded.
Chen Yansen?
Li Jiafeng thought to herself that she had heard of this person before. It was said that he had a good reputation and was a good boss.
Moreover, the mobile phone she is using now was bought by her daughter. It seems to be a product of Chen Yansen’s company, called "Green Orange".
Thinking of this, Li Jiafeng nodded and followed Yao Yu into the office.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw a dozen people about her age seeking consultation.
In the teaching area not far away, a young girl in her twenties was teaching several aunts how to use a smart washing machine.
"Sister, do you still have training here?"
Li Jiafeng asked curiously.
"Every full-time housekeeper in our company has to learn for a month, including how to use household appliances, clean, organize clothes and learn Mandarin. Those in necessary positions also have to learn driving and English."
Yao Yu asked Li Jiafeng to sit down and poured her a glass of warm water.
Learn English or learn to drive?
Oh my god, no wonder they dare to offer a salary of 20,000 yuan!
Li Jiafeng was secretly shocked.
"Sister, I'm Yao Yu, the operator of Kuaipao Housekeeping. What's your name? Have you done similar work before?"
Yao Yu took the initiative to ask.
"Hello, Teacher Yao. My name is Li Jiafeng. I'm 44 years old. I've worked as a live-in nanny for two years. I'm good at cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the elderly. Do you think I can find a job that pays a few thousand a month?"
Li Jiafeng introduced herself politely.
In the domestic service industry, job seekers generally like to call intermediaries "teachers" as a sign of respect.
"Typically, the minimum monthly salary for a full-time domestic worker is 6,000 yuan, while the salary for part-time positions fluctuates with market conditions. Kuaipao only recommends jobs and provides you with accident insurance. Regarding salary details and job requirements, it's up to you and the employer to negotiate."
As Yao Yu spoke, he took out a piece of information from his hand and handed it to Li Jiafeng.
"Teacher Yao, what is the difference between full-time and part-time?"
Li Jiafeng lowered her head and glanced at the poster on the wall.
She was not very literate and could only understand a small part of the densely packed words on the poster.
In fact, the questions she asked were clearly written on the poster.
Yao Yu understood immediately after seeing her expression, and with a gentle smile on his face, he explained in a slow voice, "If you work part-time, you don't need to sign a labor contract with us, and your salary will be paid directly to you by your employer.
We only charge 30% of your first month's salary as a technical service fee, but in return, we will provide a three-day basic training and provide you with accident insurance."
At this point, she paused for a moment and continued to talk about the full-time position: "As for full-time positions, your salary will be distributed uniformly by Kuaipao, and we will help you communicate and negotiate your salary standards with your employer, but you must participate in our one-month housekeeping training. Don't worry, this training is completely free.
For example, if you previously earned 5,000 yuan a month as a housekeeper, after our training, we can help you increase the value of your work, potentially raising your monthly salary to 8,000 yuan or even 10,000 yuan. We will also help you pay for social security, commercial medical insurance, and accident insurance."
Li Jiafeng was slightly stunned as she held the documents in her hand.
Social security and commercial insurance.
She had only heard her team leader repeat these words when she was at the electronics factory.
"Does the training take a month? That's too long! I can use appliances and I know how to clean."
Li Jiafeng thought for a moment and asked.
She knew that there would be no salary during the training period. How would she eat if she didn't work for a month?
"If you learn quickly, two or three weeks is fine."
Yao Yu said with a smile.
She didn't take Li Jiafeng's words to heart.
Because she has received dozens, if not hundreds, of aunties, and almost every one of them said that they were good at housework, but when they were arranged to do trial work, various problems would soon be exposed: either they did not clean properly, or they did not know how to use home appliances, and some people could not even fold clothes properly.
"Being able to fold" and "folding well" are two different concepts!
After hearing this, Li Jiafeng's eyebrows immediately twisted into a knot.
One has high salary and good benefits, but also high requirements; the other has low salary and no security, but the advantage is that it does not require training.
"Sister Li, how about this? You sign up for the training class first and then make a decision in three days."
Seeing this, Yao Yu said softly.
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Yao."
Li Jiafeng thanked him repeatedly.
"Sister Li, you're welcome. You can call me Yao Yu or Xiao Yao."
After Yao Yu finished speaking, she handed Li Jiafeng an application form and helped her fill in her personal information.
Next, she sent Li Jiafeng to a training class.
Time flies and the morning is over quickly.
When Li Jiafeng walked out of the Kuaipao Housekeeping service outlet, she was still dizzy and her mind was in a daze.
She never imagined that there was so much knowledge involved in doing housework and it was far from as simple as she had imagined.
At this moment, she really didn't dare to say that she could do housework.
For example, cleaning tools in the kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom should be strictly distinguished, and even color-coded to avoid cross-contamination.
Use vacuum cleaner heads with different functions, and follow the principle of using them from inside to outside and from top to bottom.
Switches, door handles, and lampshades are wiped with diluted disinfectant every day. These are places that are frequently touched but most easily overlooked.
Regularly clean the inside of the refrigerator, grease in the oven, the turntable and inner wall of the microwave oven, the inner drum and rubber ring of the washing machine, the bottom of the water heater and other sanitary dead corners.
Clothes should be strictly classified, and for different stains, such as oil stains, blood stains, red wine stains, ink stains, etc., they should be pre-treated with professional stain removers instead of simply throwing them into the washing machine.
When ironing clothes, adjust the temperature and steam level of the iron according to different fabrics.
What made Li Jiafeng most upset was that she discovered that even the way she folded clothes was wrong.
It only takes the teacher three seconds to fold a shirt. Once the clothes are in his hands, they seem to have spirits and become extremely obedient, and are straightened out in a few seconds.
Before the class, she thought, wouldn’t it be foolish to learn how to do housework for a month?
After taking the course, can I really finish the course in one month?
The other side.
Kuaipao Housekeeping has been added to Pinbei’s Prime super membership benefits, and every user can get two hours of housekeeping service for free.
Although Kuaipao Housekeeping currently only offers services in first- and second-tier cities, relying on the Pinbei platform's membership base of more than 30 million, it attracted countless people to try it out as soon as it went online.
Soon, netizens began sharing their experiences on Douyin, Xiaohongshu, and Toutiao: "Even if it costs money, I think it's totally worth it! The auntie who came to my house today was very quick and efficient. She folded a piece of clothing in just three or four seconds. She looked like a professional!"
"I also hired a housekeeper. Pinbei offered two hours of service for free, so I decided to use it! Honestly, Kuaipao's service is amazing.
My mother said that she had done housework for 30 years, but in front of this aunt, she looked like a rookie!
"The original price was 80 yuan for two hours. To be honest, I thought it was a bit expensive at first. But after the aunt finished the work, I realized it was worth the money.
The results they achieved in two hours were better than those of others who worked for four hours. The key is that these cleaning ladies are very skilled and have all the necessary tools, so they are very efficient.”
The comment sections of major social platforms are almost entirely filled with positive reviews.
Looking at the screen full of praise, one can't help but wonder whether Kuaipao has hired some internet trolls to inflate the reviews.
The first batch of employers who hired Kuaipao as a full-time nanny soon discovered the difference.
Although the price of the nanny we hired this time is indeed a bit higher than before, her work style is obviously different from that of the previous aunt.
After cooking, they would clean the kitchen tidy and tidy; the floor would be mopped so clean that it would shine without even a trace of water stains; after finishing their work, they would return to their own rooms, with a good sense of propriety, and would never ask about the private affairs of their employer's family.
"major!"
These two words have become the most consistent idea in the minds of all employers.
For a time, Kuaipao's full-time housekeeping service became a hot commodity in the industry. Some owners of high-end residential communities, after being recommended by friends, also selected suitable aunties from Kuaipao Housekeeping.
Until September 26, a 31-year-old Kuaipao domestic worker received a monthly salary of 26,000 yuan thanks to her skills in cooking, driving and English.
As soon as the news spread, the entire network became hot instantly.
"That's outrageous! After sixteen years of studying, you earn less than a nanny?"
"I graduated from a top university and work at a major internet company, but my monthly salary is only 18,000 yuan, and I work overtime until midnight every day. How can a nanny like her earn so much?"
Some people complained with a sour tone.
Someone immediately retorted, "Why? They can cook, drive, and speak English. Do you have all those skills? My employer has elderly foreigners at home and needs someone to communicate in English, pick up the kids from school, and cook both Chinese and Western food. 26,000 is too little!"
There was also a recent college graduate who posted a post expressing his grievance: "I submitted dozens of resumes to find a job, and the highest offer was only 8,000 yuan. If I had known I wouldn't study design, I would have gone to home economics instead."
Before the controversy subsided, some people dug up the salary system of Kuai Pao Home Service, questioning whether the "monthly salary of 26,000 yuan" was a gimmick and that most aunties actually could not earn that much.
Kuaipao responded immediately and announced the distribution of different salary levels of Kuaipao housekeeping: 6,000 to 10,000 yuan, accounting for 46%; 10,000 to 15,000 yuan, accounting for 27%; 15,000 to 20,000 yuan, accounting for 16%; and above 20,000 yuan, accounting for 7%.
At this time, Kuaipao Housekeeping had 11,000 full-time employees.
In other words, nearly 800 people received a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan.
In an instant, more netizens were defeated.
Kuaipao Housekeeping’s reputation is becoming increasingly well-known, thus attracting more practitioners to join.
For Chen Yansen, just recruiting 1 million practitioners can provide him with tens of millions of humanitarian funds every year.
However, he also knew that this was difficult.
Although Kuapao Housekeeping provides a series of services such as business training, job matching, and salary negotiation, many practitioners are still unwilling to let their salaries be controlled by Kuapao, and even circumvent the platform by jumping orders, resigning, and finding work on their own.
However, Chen Yansen doesn't care. As long as the project can provide 1 million jobs, it will be considered a success.
The next morning.
Taodiandian made another surprise move, issuing a 15 yuan no-threshold coupon and a 25 yuan discount coupon for purchases over 50 yuan to new and old users.
Ali's intention is very clear, which is to grab more market share from Kuaipao Takeout by organizing subsidy activities.
As for the "ceasefire agreement" signed by the two sides last time, it was obviously regarded as waste paper by Ma Liyun.
Wang Guangtong from the Business Association couldn't help but sneer when he heard the news.
Ma Liyun blatantly violated the agreement, clearly not taking him seriously!
