Chapter 790 They don't even spare the disabled? Breaking 5000 stores! This hotel has to open!
The following morning, Pinbei Auto Service officially opened 107 stores in East China.
All Pinbei Super Prime members can claim a car wash service voucher worth 49 yuan, which includes basic services such as body cleaning, tire and wheel cleaning, interior dusting, and glass cleaning.
For users, since it's free, they'll definitely want to give it a try.
Soon, it was discovered that JD Plus members could also get a free ticket.
In reality, although this service appears to be free, both Pinduoduo and JD.com are actually subsidizing it with real money.
After all, although the two companies have a deep cooperation due to Chen Yansen's capital ties, their respective investors' interests are involved, and the accounts must be clearly calculated.
Red opening banners covered the exterior walls of the stores, and employees in uniform orange overalls stood at the entrances to guide traffic. Long queues formed in front of many stores.
Some people come to wash their cars, some come to get their cars serviced, and others come to change tires or batteries.
To put it bluntly, the reason why people are willing to come and spend money here immediately is entirely due to the good reputation that Chen Yansen has built up.
If you do business with integrity and treat your employees and customers as human beings, users can sense it.
...
...
On a small road in Chuansha Town, Hucheng.
Yuan Lang held his daughter's hand and carried a box of roast duck as they slowly walked home.
Three days ago, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
The doctor said he only had three to six months left to live.
Clutching the thin medical report, he walked out of the hospital, looking utterly dejected.
He wasn't afraid of death, but the thought of his daughter, who suffered from cerebellar atrophy and whose intelligence was equivalent to that of an eight or nine-year-old child, filled him with despair.
While I'm alive, I can barely take care of her, but what will happen after I'm gone?
Can we rely on those relatives?
Forget it!
He knew very well that if he died, distant relatives would rush to claim a share of the house.
Sell the house and leave the money to your daughter?
He did consider it, but then he gave up.
Finding a nanny is a real test of human nature.
Should we send our daughter to a nursing home?
But without her family's support, who knows how the caregivers will treat her?
Moreover, the money from selling the house may not be enough to cover their daughter's living expenses for the rest of her life.
What will the nursing home do if the funds run out in the future?
Should we throw it out?
Last night, he searched online all night, but all he found were heartbreaking answers, leaving him with nothing but despair.
Perhaps, sending my daughter away first and then going with her would be the best outcome.
Two hours earlier, he had grabbed his daughter by the neck while weeping bitterly.
Even as her daughter was on the verge of suffocation, she still had a bright smile on her face.
That scene struck him like a hammer blow, and he abruptly released his grip.
"Daddy, I want to eat roast duck. Don't cry. Let's play this game after I've eaten my fill, okay?"
Yuan Linlin looked at him innocently, completely unaware of the danger that had just occurred to her, thinking it was just a little game her father was playing with her.
Yuan Lang wiped away his tears and led his daughter out of the house.
He wanted to have one last meal with his daughter, to see the sky, the sun, the clear river and the weeping willows by the roadside one last time, and then take his daughter with him on his way.
As Yuan Lang crossed the intersection, he noticed a new auto repair shop, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
But just as he was about to leave, a glance out of the corner of his eye made him stop in his tracks.
In the car wash area, two employees looked quite different from ordinary people.
One of them had no left hand, his sleeves neatly rolled up to his elbows, and he held a high-pressure water gun with only his right hand. The water flow precisely washed the gaps in the car body, while the empty cuff of his other hand swayed gently with the movement.
The other man, with wider-set eyes and some congenital marks on his face, was squatting on the ground, carefully wiping the tire rims with a rag, not even missing the dirt and sand in the screw crevices.
Their movements may seem a beat slower than the average person, but their focus and meticulousness make them far more efficient, cleaning the car thoroughly.
A dusty SUV was transformed into something brand new in no time by their hands; even the rain streaks on the glass were wiped away.
When Yuan Linlin saw her father stop, she didn't say anything, but just followed his gaze.
Seeing the two washing the car, she found it both novel and fun.
Children love playing in the water, and she was no exception.
Although she looks twenty years old, her mental age is no more than ten, and she still retains the pure nature of a child.
"Dad, they're amazing! That guy doesn't have a left hand, but he can still wash so clean."
Yuan Linlin pointed at the two of them and said.
At this moment, the store manager walked over with two bottles of mineral water, handed them to the two men, and said, "Take a five-minute break before you continue."
The young man without a left hand smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, manager, I'm not tired. I'll take advantage of the large number of people to do more work."
This job was hard-won, so he naturally had to do his best to get it.
It is already difficult for people with disabilities to find jobs.
Most people with physical disabilities often have to stay at home.
They have to endure strange looks from passersby as soon as they go out, and few people are willing to hire them when they look for a job.
Despite relevant policy support, such as tax deductions for companies that hire people with disabilities, very few companies are actually willing to hire them.
Ultimately, the core purpose of establishing a company is to make a profit, not to open a charity or do good deeds.
He used to work as a part-time cloud customer service representative for Pinbei Mall, earning around 3,000 yuan a month.
I recently heard that Senlian Group has opened a new auto repair shop and is hiring car washers with a base salary of 3,915 yuan, plus bonuses and performance rewards.
More importantly, the big boss had clearly stated in the internal online store that he wanted to recruit some disabled employees, and would give priority to the relatives of Senlian employees.
He was lucky and passed the interview.
Of course, this is also inseparable from his year and a half of experience working in cloud customer service.
Without this foundation, I probably wouldn't have gotten this opportunity.
It is important to know that there are more than 70 million disabled people in China, which is roughly one in every fifteen people.
Although there were many positions available, Chen Yansen had already instructed that these positions should be reserved for "his own people" first.
The young man with wide-set eyes took a sip of water and said somewhat shyly, "Thank you, manager."
He suffers from mild cerebral palsy. Both his parents are employees of Senlian Group. His father works at Orange Shoes and his mother is a front-line worker at Orange Garment.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Lang immediately understood.
One of these two young people is disabled, and the other is probably like his daughter, either suffering from cerebellar atrophy or cerebral palsy.
Their tone of voice and body language didn't quite match their apparent age, revealing a naivety and clumsiness beyond their years.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
After the manager finished talking with the employee, he turned to look at Yuan Lang and his daughter standing to the side.
He noticed that the two men had been standing there for more than ten minutes.
"Dad, shall we go wash the car too?"
Yuan Linlin tugged at her father's sleeve, her voice filled with childlike anticipation.
Upon seeing this, the manager immediately realized that Yuan Linlin's intelligence might be somewhat special.
"Hello, are you still hiring?"
Yuan Lang took the initiative to ask.
He had a plan in mind: if his daughter could find a job to make a living and become an employee of Senlian Group, perhaps she would have more security after he was gone.
Although the idea was somewhat outrageous, Chen Yansen was known for his kindness to his employees, so Yuan Lang could only give it a try.
"Is it you looking for a job, or your daughter?"
The manager asked tentatively.
"My daughter, she..."
Yuan Lang was interrupted by the manager before he could finish speaking.
"Excuse me."
Yuan Lang's heart sank; even his last hope was about to be shattered.
But the manager's next sentence rekindled his spirits: "Our store's quota is full. The company has a ratio requirement for recruiting disabled employees, but Pinbei Auto Service has 29 stores in Shanghai. You can ask around. Some stores haven't filled their positions yet, which is especially suitable for your daughter's situation."
The manager didn't spell it out, but Yuan Lang instantly understood three things: first, Pinbei Auto Service was hiring people with disabilities; second, there was a limit to the number of people they could hire; and third, the positions were in high demand, so he had to hurry.
"Is my daughter really capable?" Yuan Lang forced a smile and pressed on.
"Of course, the company will provide specialized training. It's just car washing; even a young child can learn to do it."
The manager responded with a smile.
"What are the benefits like?" Yuan Lang asked again.
"The base salary is 3,915 yuan, which is the group's standard. In addition, there are commissions and bonuses, and the total monthly income is no less than 6,000 yuan."
"What about commuting to and from get off work?" Yuan Lang continued to ask.
"For special positions, the company has a one-on-one support program. If you have family members to take care of you, they can pick you up and drop you off. If not, you can apply to live in the employee dormitory."
Yuan Lang became more and more excited as he listened, and the suicidal thoughts he had just had vanished instantly. He quickly thanked the manager.
"Please wait a moment, I'll ask in the company's group chat if there are any vacant positions."
Seeing his earnest attitude, the manager simply took out his phone and asked in the project group.
"Thank you, brother. May I ask your name?" Yuan Lang said gratefully.
"You're welcome. My name is Xiong Yan."
Xiong Yan waved his hand and said.
He was originally the manager of a Tuhu Auto Service franchise store, but was later poached by the HR department of Pinbei Auto Service.
He used to have a rather bad temper, but since joining Pinbei Auto Maintenance, he has become much gentler in his speech and more amiable.
Ultimately, it's because incomes have increased, giving people hope and security in their lives.
In reality, most people are kind at heart and willing to help others, but only if it doesn't affect their own interests and they are financially secure.
While this statement may not be entirely accurate, it is true that when people are struggling to make ends meet and their livelihoods are uncertain, they often lack the capacity to extend kindness to others.
Not long after, someone in the project group said that there was still one spot left at the Tangzhen store.
"Tang Town isn't far from here. I'll send you the store address and the manager's phone number. Just contact Manager Wang directly and tell him I recommended it."
Xiong Yan looked at his phone screen and smiled as he spoke to Yuan Lang.
Yuan Lang quickly took out his phone to write down the information. His hands trembled slightly as he repeatedly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you so much, Manager Xiong. You've really helped me a lot. I'll remember this kindness for the rest of my life."
He had never asked for favors from many people in his life, but at this moment he felt his throat tighten, a thousand words stuck in his chest, and all he could do was keep thanking them.
Seeing her father's happy expression, Yuan Linlin grinned and asked, "Daddy, are we going to a new place? Can we play in the water and wash the car with the uncle from earlier?"
“Yes, little girl, you can work here in the future, work with everyone, and earn money to buy roast duck.”
Yuan Lang gently stroked his daughter's forehead, his eyes reddening but with a smile as he spoke.
Looking at the father and daughter, Xiong Yan thought to himself: It feels really good to help people.
However, Xiong Yan was somewhat puzzled. It was just a job, why was Yuan Lang so agitated?
Little did he know that this seemingly ordinary job was, for Yuan Lang, the only lifeline that could save his daughter's life.
Holding his daughter's hand, Yuan Lang hurriedly hailed a taxi to Tang Town, afraid of being a step too late.
...
...
"They hired a total of 176 disabled employees? And they still haven't filled all the positions."
Inside the Senlian Science and Technology Park, Chen Yansen sat in his office, glanced at the business reports on his desk, and muttered something under his breath.
The reason for the vacancy is that the company offers good salary and benefits, and also provides medical insurance covering the employees' wives and children.
Many employees feel that they can earn enough money and there is no need for their disabled children to go out to work, since the risks outside are still too great.
After a moment's thought, Chen Yansen immediately gave the order: to publicly recruit for the remaining dozens of vacant positions.
As soon as the news was released, the recruitment email inbox was flooded with messages.
They're even hiring people with cerebral palsy? Where are they even recruiting? This is clearly charity!
"Who says Senlian Group doesn't do charity? They just do it in a different way."
"Is it probably just to avoid paying taxes?"
"Tax deduction policies have always existed, but how many companies are truly willing to hire people with disabilities? Let me tell you, as early as 2013, when Senlian Group launched its cloud customer service business, it hired a large number of remote customer service staff, and the proportion of people with disabilities among them was as high as 10%!"
“That’s right! My cousin works as a customer service representative at Orange Mall. She lost both legs in a car accident and couldn’t find a job at all. It was Brother Sen who gave her the opportunity. Three or four thousand a month isn’t a lot, but it’s enough for her to support herself.”
"Three or four thousand is not enough? I graduated this year and my salary is only 2,800 now."
"College students are like this, generally earning around 3,000 yuan, which is less than what migrant workers earn."
In the comment sections of various social media platforms, netizens are discussing the topic animatedly.
at the same time.
Pinbei and JD.com are gradually transferring their online dashcam installation service partners to Pinbei Auto Service.
Seeing this situation, Tuhu Auto Service was flustered but helpless.
They can't beat them in a fight, and they don't dare to curse them. They can only hope that the domestic auto repair industry can accommodate two chain auto repair brands at the same time.
Just as Hu Xiaodong, chairman of Tuhu Auto Service, had this idea, he received news that Ma Liyun also planned to enter the automotive service field and create Yaomao Auto Service.
"Fuck your mother!" Hu Xiaodong cursed with a bitter smile.
In his view, internet giants like Senlian and Ali are shameless, trying to get involved in every business.
He knew that the days ahead would be even harder.
On one side is Pinbei Auto Service, backed by the wealthy Senlian Group, and on the other side is Yaomao Auto Service, backed by the Ali ecosystem and rich in resources. Tuhu Auto Service is caught in the middle and its situation is precarious.
On the other side.
Kuai Pao Canteen announced that it now has more than 5,000 stores nationwide, ranking among the top tier of chain restaurants.
Keep in mind that at that time, KFC had just over 3,000 stores, Dicos had 2,600 stores, and Pizza Hut had 1,700 stores.
Although JueWei Duck Neck has more than 7,000 stores, strictly speaking, it can only be considered a braised snack shop, which is very different from dine-in fast food like KuaiPao Canteen, which has 20 to 30 employees per store and monthly revenue of more than 800,000 yuan.
China has more than 1,300 counties, which means that Kuai Pao Canteen has established three to four stores in almost every county in just two years.
Chen Yansen is very satisfied with the development momentum of Kuai Pao Canteen, but the situation of many Chinese fast food restaurants in China is somewhat difficult.
For example, Laoxiangji, a local chicken restaurant in Luzhou, wanted to expand outwards, but was wary of the powerful Senlian Group and feared running into their iron fist. So it could only stay in the local area and focus on serving its old customers.
Two days later, on March 18th.
Yaocheng Star officially opened in Shanghai, positioned as a five-star luxury hotel. The first batch of guests were mostly users of Yaocheng mobile phones.
It has 416 guest rooms and is equipped with comprehensive facilities such as entertainment, banquet, and fitness.
The food and beverage department, housekeeping department, plus finance, human resources, engineering and other departments, have a total of 702 employees.
After a moment's thought, Chen Yansen realized: This hotel has to keep operating!
