Chapter 586 Should I call him foster father or uncle?
As the New Year approaches, the streets and alleys are decorated with lights and colorful lanterns.
Because of the holidays, offline physical stores have experienced a peak in business, while the business in the takeout market has gradually reached a low point, giving all major platforms a chance to breathe.
Taking this opportunity, all food delivery platforms are trying their best to adjust their operating models and optimize their own platforms.
Ele.me invested all the remaining funds into the development of the rider-side app.
Nuomi Takeout quickly compiled a target list according to the previous group purchasing route, intending to occupy these four cities after the new year.
Koubei Takeaway is even more impressive. It directly acquired the midnight snack app and the work meal app, which means it has occupied two cities in disguise.
At this time, the quick-order meal is stuck in the quagmire.
He found that the approach of offering a basic salary and signing a contract simply did not work in the Internet industry.
The efficiency of recruiting riders is too low, and there are too many tedious signing matters that require manual operation. In addition, the delivery fee is not high, so there is no advantage at all.
In addition, the Nuomi takeaway was right next door, which made Xi Zhongwen frown every day.
I used to work in delivery in Kyoto, and was responsible for three office buildings. Life was quite happy back then, but now I am becoming less and less happy.
At this time, major information platforms are still adding fuel to the fire.
【According to statistics, the number of registered delivery personnel has increased to 60,000. 】
[College students work part-time as food deliverymen during the holidays to pay for their own tuition.]
[With just one electric bike, part-time riders can earn over 10,000 yuan a month. ]
[No matter how high or low the industry is, part-time riders have become a popular job. 】
When an industry is constantly marketed in the news, it means there is a shortage in this industry.
As these news spread and were reposted on the Internet, their impact on the rider industry began to grow.
Twenty-seven-year-old Liu Qiang has been working on a construction site, screwing screws with his neighbor's sixth brother for a year. He is currently waiting for money from his boss to go home for the New Year.
The construction site has now stopped, but the money just won’t come no matter how long he waits, and Liu Qiang is becoming more and more anxious.
"Sixth brother, have you received your wages? The New Year is almost here. How can I go home without money?"
"No, the contractor said that the payment for the project will not be paid before the end of the year and it will probably be delayed until next year."
"Why is it like this every year?" Liu Qiang was very depressed.
The sixth brother sighed and said, "Qiangzi, I have already made up my mind. I will not do this job next year."
"How can I not do it? The child is so young and needs to go to school!"
"I plan to deliver food. We are still young. There is no need to waste time on the construction site until we die."
Sixth Brother raised a blackened hand and handed a blue flyer to Liu Qiang. On it were three big words "Are You Hungry?", but the flyer had footprints on it, and it looked like it was picked up from the ground.
Liu Qiang took it and squatted in front of Brother Liu to take a look: "Is it true that delivering food can earn over 10,000 yuan a month?"
"It's a little far-fetched to earn over 10,000 yuan a month, but the elderly man in charge of watering has been running for three days and has earned more than 300 yuan."
The sixth brother stood up and patted his butt: "Qiangzi, don't wait any longer, pack up and go home for the New Year. The kids are waiting for you at home. When you come back next year, get your salary back first and buy an electric car. I'll take you to deliver food."
On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, no matter how important the event is, it is not as important as going home for the New Year. The wave of returning home has reached its peak.
Jiang Qin went to the suburbs to inspect the docking warehouse of the group buying supply chain, went to see his uncle and aunt with gifts, and then returned to Jeju.
Before he had time to rest, Jiang Qin was dragged by Yuan Youqin and Feng Nanshu to the city to buy New Year's goods, and also went to Nanya Village to attend the New Year market.
Nanya Village is the home of Jiang Qin’s grandmother. The annual market on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month is the largest, and its scale can even rival that of a temple fair.
At this time of year every year, all kinds of people come to join in the fun, even those living in the city are no exception.
Once you enter, you can see people pushing bicycles and riding tricycles everywhere.
On the road covered with rising loess, you can hear people asking, "How much is this?" and "Can it be cheaper?"
Jiang Qin's role at this moment is equivalent to that of a human Huolala. After a round of shopping, his hands are full.
Of course, Yuan Youqin bought more things, while the rich woman was responsible for looking around.
She was wearing a flowery cotton jacket, jeans, and a pair of small leather boots today. She glanced at every stall she passed by, even the fishmongers. She kept blinking her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Jiang Qin found a stone pillar at the entrance of the village and sat down: "Little rich woman, you go shopping with my mother, I'll take a rest."
“Oh.”
"Buy me some sugar-roasted chestnuts. I love them!"
"knew!"
Feng Nan ran towards Yuan Youqin, and the mother and daughter walked hand in hand towards a more lively place.
At this moment, Jiang Qin saw a person sitting on the stone pier opposite. He was wearing a black cotton jacket and black rectangular-framed glasses, and his face was full of confusion.
He had met this man last year. He was the son-in-law who returned to the village with his girlfriend to celebrate the New Year.
He hasn't made any progress compared to last year, except that his hairstyle has changed a little. He still has a confused and dull look on his face, as if asking himself, "Who am I, where am I, and what should I do?"
Soon, the son-in-law who returned to the village also noticed Jiang Qin, and his eyes widened instantly: "I remember you, you are Jiang Qin, the one I endorse for myself. I saw you last year, and the more I think about it, the more you look like me!"
Jiang Qin picked up the three plastic bags in his hand, which contained chickens, ducks and rabbits: "Do you think Jiang Qin can do such rough work?"
The son-in-law who returned to the village was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "It seems not."
"That's right, only Yanzu would do such rough work."
"?"
As they were talking, a girl in a green down jacket suddenly appeared from the opposite side and waved at them.
There was also a woman following behind the girl. Judging from her appearance, she should be the girl's mother.
At this moment, the son-in-law who had returned to the village's eyes suddenly came alive. He immediately stood up and ran over with the plastic bag in his hand.
"Pah, no status."
Jiang Qin complained, and suddenly found that Feng Nanshu also appeared at the bridge head, waving at him while holding sugar-roasted chestnuts.
Boss Jiang's eyes lit up instantly, he picked up the plastic bag on the ground, and ran over...
"I just wanted to buy some lard to make dumplings. Nan Shu has never eaten it. The one sold by Zhang Laowu is too expensive. You should come with me again."
"What am I going to do?"
Yuan Youqin lowered her voice and said, "Just cooperate. You're just pretending to be a greedy kid and insisting on eating. I have no choice but to go back and try to talk to you again."
Jiang Qin's mouth twitched, and he looked at Feng Nanshu: "Why don't we let the little rich woman try it?"
"No, I won't lie." Feng Nanshu said with a stern face.
Jiang Qin glanced at her and said, "You don't lie to others, but you lie to me? Am I not a human being?"
"You are a big bear who can climb trees."
“…”
Then Jiang Qin was dragged by his mother to Zhang Laowu's stall and joined the mother and son bargaining game.
Just at this time, Xu Yu's budget sheet came out and was sent to his mobile phone waiting for approval.
Group buying selection, group buying in store, daily specials, group buying supply chain, Nanshu business marketing, algorithm center...
The amounts are in the millions or tens of millions.
Jiang Qin was bargaining for three yuan with his mother while approving a budget of tens of millions. He felt that his life was so divided.
Finally, Yuan Youqin bargained down the price by two yuan, successfully bought the lard residue, and walked back with the plastic bag.
"Mom, I make so much money every year. If you don't spend it, then forget it. But can't you be more generous when buying groceries?"
"Bargaining is one of the few hobbies your mother has."
Jiang Qin pursed his lips, held Feng Nanshu's small hand, and walked towards the open space for parking at the entrance of the village. Then, as soon as he got into the car, a cold little hand reached out to him.
The rich young woman peeled a sugar-roasted chestnut and wanted to feed it to him.
Jiang Qin lowered his head and ate the chestnuts: "Why are your hands so cold?"
“You didn’t hold this one in your hands.”
Feng Nanshu sat in the passenger seat, murmured something, then peeled a chestnut and handed it to Yuan Youqin.
This year there is no 29th and 30th on New Year’s Eve, it is directly the next day.
A bunch of relatives came to visit the old Jiang family again, almost breaking the door. Many of them hadn't seen each other for decades, but they came this time to see the boy who represented them! Jiang Qin couldn't stand it anymore, so he hid away again, and then made an appointment with Yang Shuan and Guo Zihang to go to the water bar to play a few rounds of mahjong.
Then, while he was talking on the phone, Jiang Qin's phone vibrated. He opened it and saw it was a message from Qin Ziang.
"Want to set off fireworks tonight?"
Jiang Qin was stunned for a moment, then he saw Qin Ziang added: "Uncle?"
In the past Chinese New Year, Jiang Qin never bought fireworks, and used his dog ability to get free stuff from Qin Ziang many times.
But I didn't expect Qin Ziang to send me a message tonight to ask for instructions.
In fact, Qin Ziang's father, Qin Xiongwei, didn't find a chance to invite Jiang Qin to dinner a few years ago, and he had been thinking about this matter in his heart, so he asked Qin Ziang what Jiang Qin liked.
You can skip the meal, but you must always give the gift.
If it weren't for Jiang Qin's final green light, the shopping mall project in Jeju's new city area might not have been their company's turn. This most basic courtesy of courtesy is still necessary.
“He likes money.”
"Do I need to tell you that? I like money more, but I can't just give it to you. They won't accept it even if I give it to you."
Qin Ziang thought for a while and said, "No, but his girlfriend likes to set off fireworks."
"Wait a minute, I'll get someone to send a truckload of fireworks over. Just invite them. Be polite!"
"oh……"
Qin Ziang smacked his lips and watched his father rush out the door before he took out his cell phone and opened Jiang Qin's chat box.
"Want to set off fireworks tonight?"
“…”
"Uncle?"
After Qin Ziang sent out the last word "uncle", he thought to himself that this should be polite enough. I can't just kneel down and call him godfather like that shameless guy Guo Zihang.
Besides, when they were in school, his relationship with Jiang Qin was not very good.
But seeing that Jiang Qin had not responded yet, Young Master Qin hesitated for a moment, then reached out and typed two words in the chat box: "Godfather".
However, just before these two words were about to be sent out, Jiang Qin replied with a "go", which instantly made Young Master Qin breathe a sigh of relief and quickly deleted the two words "godfather".
Great, my dignity is saved! (Please give me some monthly tickets, I can’t stand it anymore, my family members please give me some monthly tickets...or2)
