"Hey, Xiao Cai, have you heard that Liu San from the next-door group has returned to his hometown to eat and go to work? I heard he found the same delivery service position."
After a busy morning, Lao Zhong from the Chizuome delivery team skillfully removed the battery of the BYD electric vehicle and carried it into the store to find a place to charge it.
Next to him was a colleague who had just returned from the lunch rush hour. Both of them were carrying batteries in their hands and chatting as they walked.
Xiao Cai was stunned. "Another one goes back? Will their team leader let him go?"
It is the company's policy to allow employees within subsidiaries to transfer positions according to actual needs.
We all come out to work and earn money. If we can go back to our hometown and earn the same income, who wouldn’t want to go back?
Unfortunately, there are more people than jobs, and not everyone is suitable for sales positions. You have to pass an assessment. Otherwise, you can't even speak clearly, so how can you communicate with customers?
Especially for delivery positions at Chimo and Fengniao, most people just work quietly. The most common words they say to customers are:
Hello, have you eaten yet? I’m here to serve you.
Have a nice meal, bye, etc.
But this does not pose a problem for the people below. Although many of them can't do anything with just a few sticks, they are actually very smart and ruthless.
Although they are unable to work in sales and management positions, they are no problem doing physical work such as warehouse distribution and truck delivery. When the policy was first released, these positions were the most popular and were quickly snapped up.
Although my hometown is poor, my comprehensive income after transferring back from the group is lower than that in big cities, but it is close to home, and I can have a wife and children with me after get off work, saving the cost of food and accommodation.
Let's do the math. It's better to go home and earn 2,800 yuan than to earn 4,000 yuan in Shanghai. Unless your family is in urgent need of money, who wouldn't want to go back?
Thanks to the company's good development, various businesses have been steadily advancing, with the exception of Pinxixi, where e-commerce continues to expand in rural areas.
There are also sites for Fengniao and Chichu.com, and Qingyun Agricultural Service Company. They are the ones that are making the most noise, and have cooperation plans with many purely agricultural counties to set up primary fruit and vegetable processing plants.
For example, canning, beverage processing, pre-packaged ready-to-eat specialty fruit and vegetable processing, and some other types of food industry chains. In short, as long as we can find a market, we will do it.
As the scale of the industry continues to expand, the demand for personnel is great. In addition to local open recruitment, the group’s human resources department is also recruiting in various cities.
The huge Qingyun system is like a sponge. No matter how much water is poured into it, it always looks like it is never full.
There are too many new members, which in turn increases the gap between grassroots team leaders, big team leaders, station managers and outstanding employees. The speed of internal training and social recruitment cannot keep up with the progress.
They could only find a temporary solution, through internal transfers, to transfer a group of old employees back to serve as the backbone and stabilize the basic business.
This is a tough time for companies whose businesses are concentrated in urban areas. Fengniao, Pinxixi and other local life companies are the first to lose money whenever there is any movement.
I worked part-time on Pinxixi during the Chinese New Year and nearly lost my life. In the end, I managed to get through the difficult times by relying on the part-time job.
Now it comes again, with all kinds of internal recruitment, they want to split up Chimo on the spot and take the staff away. Qin Lang can't stand the pressure from the group's decision-making committee, nor can he stand the accountability from shareholders.
So if you want to leave now, you must get the signature of the team leader, station manager, or even the regional manager or city manager...
Lao Zhong looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so he lowered his voice and said, "They said they were going back to the local area to eat and go to work, but they were actually going to work at the newly opened Qingyun Yijiale Supermarket."
Xiao Cai opened his mouth wide, "Yijiale Supermarket? It's the newly opened one on the first floor of Zhongxin Building. Is it also our company's?"
Lao Zhong nodded and said, "It's the one that opened two weeks ago. I'm telling you, don't tell anyone.
The higher-ups have recently launched a plan to support people opening stores. I don't understand the various fees, but I know that you can open a store by paying a minimum of 60,000 yuan.
If you apply for a job, you can freely choose your work location. Of course, there is no hope of promotion and you will still do the same job.
The company takes care of everything from selling things, recruiting people, collecting money, and shipping goods. In the first year, we will get a fixed return of 1,200 yuan per month, and from the second year onwards, we will split the profits 40% to 60% based on the actual income..."
He only heard the general idea and didn't know the specific details.
But this point is particularly attractive to Xiao Cai. He can invest 60,000 yuan to open a supermarket and not have to worry about anything. He can just sit back and wait for his share of the profits every month?
The most important thing is that it can be transferred back through this channel. Isn’t this a good thing?
Facing his question, Lao Zhong thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "That's what I said, but I don't know the details. How about asking someone later?"
"Then you have to ask clearly, you can't be careless about such a big matter.
Brother Zhong, do you want to invest in one too? You can be a boss and earn a salary. It’s hard to find such a good thing even with a lantern!"
"Me? I have thought about it. Your sister-in-law doesn't have a job either. If I could open a store and hire her as a clerk, she would have an income and our family would have a better life.
I just don’t know if it’s safe to invest this money. What if something goes wrong?”
"That's true. Sixty thousand yuan is more than a year's income."
While Xiao Cai was pondering, Lao Zhong was quick in his actions. While talking, he grabbed the socket and successfully charged the battery.
He clapped his hands, stood up and prepared to continue speaking, when he heard an angry voice behind him:
"It's a holiday. I've told you so many times not to charge your phone in the store. What if something unexpected happens?"
Old Zhong laughed, "How could that be? You are watching."
The person who spoke was the regional dispatcher, her last name was Zhou, a girl in her early twenties. Her words were soft and even when she spoke in anger, they had no hurtful power at all.
It's called dispatching, but in reality he's just a handyman and a logistics manager, he has to do everything, but the salary is not high, only two thousand five hundred a month.
Only a young girl who has just entered society can do this job.
Miss Zhou was speechless, "It's a holiday, you earn four or five thousand a month, can't you even afford to replace the battery at two yuan a time?
If I insist on bringing it into the store to charge it, I will be scolded again when the stationmaster comes back and sees it.”
Lao Zhong argued, "I just bought an extra battery before, and I use them alternately. One is fully charged for delivery, and the other is charged here. Why do I need to change the battery?
Why spend that extra money!
Besides, there are five or six distribution and promotion groups in one site, and the site manager is busy holding meetings and assigning tasks every day. He would not go downstairs to check on the charging unless there is nothing else. I hid in the corner and blocked them with a cardboard box.
As long as you don't say anything, how could the webmaster possibly find out?
Hehe, you might as well say I'm smart. I've managed to do this for so many times without ever being caught. You all should learn from me."
He was just talking nonsense when he suddenly saw Xiao Cai glaring at him. Xiao Zhou in front of him was also trying to hold back his laughter. He realized something was wrong and was about to turn around.
Then I heard a voice suppressing anger and speaking coldly from behind me:
"Really? Zhong Qiujie, you've only got so much intelligence, but you've used it all to be clever, right?"
"Stationmaster Xiao? Why did you come down?"
Zhong Qiujie thought to himself, it’s over! He was caught on the spot.
When I looked back, my scalp went numb!
Because the webmaster's face was pitch black, I couldn't see his expression clearly.
"It's a holiday, you're done, the stationmaster is so angry at you that his face has turned black."
Miss Zhou usually has no way to deal with this group of tough guys, but now that she finally got the chance, there is no reason not to take advantage of it to add insult to injury.
It wasn't a big deal, just a few criticisms at most. But the webmaster seemed to be a little abnormal today, with a very dark face.
That's not black, it's clearly smoke. I just came back from putting out a fire, it would be a miracle if everything was normal.
When Station Master Xiao saw that the few idiots in front of him hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem, he was furious. "The company has repeatedly warned us not to connect to the power supply without permission, and this is how you deal with it?
Zhou Lin, please remember that Zhong Qiujie violated the company's rules and regulations and charged his phone at the station without permission. I voluntarily donated 200 yuan."
Zhou Lin was dumbfounded, "Huh?"
Are you serious?
Zhong Qiujie couldn't help but protest: "Everyone does this, why should I be punished?
Some people charge their batteries in rental houses during the day. I think you just can’t complete the task of assessing the utilization rate of the battery swap cabinet, so you’re taking it out on me.”
"Bullshit! The company has never enforced the battery swap assessment for internal employees. Besides, open your eyes and look around. Is there an empty battery swap cabinet at the door?"
Stationmaster Xiao's face darkened, and he pointed at his dark clothes and said, "Look carefully, this is blackened by smoke. Just now, Chen Xiaozhuang from Group 6 of the next station violated the regulations and brought the battery back to the rental house to charge it.
As a result, an accidental fire broke out. I just came back from the scene and it was a terrible burn. Fortunately, the fire brigade arrived in time to prevent more serious consequences.
Did you see how shabby I am? I went in to rescue the property afterwards. You little cuties, you keep saying things but you don’t listen. In order to save a few hundred dollars a month, you build things illegally.
Now, the unstable voltage caused a fire, and most of my property was burned. I worked for a year in vain. Are you happy now? Have you saved money?"
At this point, Station Master Xiao became even angrier, and turned to Xiao Cai and yelled, "What are you planning to do with this broken battery? Do you want to keep charging it? Will you be satisfied only if you burn down the station?"
Xiao Cai was confused. He didn't know whether to discharge or charge, so he had to go out in shame and find someone to swipe the card to replace the battery.
At this time, many deliverymen who had finished their busy lunch rush hour had returned, and their faces looked a little strange.
Because someone in the internal WeChat group of the company had already uploaded the tragic scene of the house fire, fortunately there was no one in the room at the time of the incident, so no more serious consequences were caused.
However, a number of properties were burned, and the loss was conservatively estimated to be more than 100,000 yuan. After all, the house purchased by the company was not cheap, and decorating the furniture would cost money. Compared with the property loss, Xiao, the stationmaster, was more worried about how to prevent similar incidents from happening, because the regional manager Liang knew about it and sent a message to the management group to discuss the matter in the afternoon.
It is definitely going to be banned, but it is not easy for each person to spend a few hundred dollars a month to replace the battery. It is really difficult to get some money out of the pockets of these clever guys.
But he had to do it no matter how difficult it was. He was a new webmaster who was transferred to the post because of the big development. He had no authority and could only bite the bullet and say:
"Since everyone is here, I would like to issue an urgent notice here. From now on, charging your phone indoors without permission is strictly prohibited. If you are caught doing this again, you will be asked to donate 200 yuan for the first time, and you will be fired for the second time.
If you don’t want to spend money to replace the battery, you can find a place to charge it outdoors. This way, even if there is an accidental fire, it will not cause too serious consequences. "
"what?"
"If I charge it outdoors, what if I lose the battery?"
"Are you stupid? Can't you just charge the car directly without taking it off?"
"That won't work. The car will also be used to deliver meals."
The people below were talking about it. Someone joked, "I told you to charge it randomly, and now something went wrong. I think it would be much easier to just replace the battery. There would be no trouble at all."
"You talk about being light, but charging the battery yourself only costs a few cents, which is only a dozen yuan a month. Battery replacement is only discounted in the first month, and then it costs two or three yuan each time. Whose money is blown by the wind?"
"That's right. I change the battery once or twice a day, which costs me an extra 100 or 200 yuan a month. I can buy an extra battery for only 500 yuan, which means I can save more than 100 yuan a month, which is enough to wash my feet more often."
"The company just wants to make more money from us, and the stingy boss sets the price so high."
A voice nearby added, "How can you make money if you don't knock on doors? How many bosses have a conscience?"
As soon as these words came out, someone nearby was unhappy, "Don't talk nonsense, we don't know what other company bosses are like, but Boss Li is pretty good, like that so-and-so last time.
Didn't he report his family's difficulties to the company and immediately someone came forward to send his father to the hospital? All the medical expenses and surgeries were paid for by the boss.
Hey, who are you?
As he was talking, the young man in the yellow robe noticed something was wrong. Why wasn't this guy wearing work clothes?
He also wore a mask and looked very mysterious.
"Oh, I'm new in the branch's administrative department. I was on my way to the fire accident site and stopped by to take a look."
The masked man casually showed his work badge, but the mask blocked his nose, so it was not clear. Only his eyes were visible, which looked bright.
If there is someone familiar here, he can tell at a glance who this person is but Li Zehua.
"From the branch's administrative department?"
Stationmaster Xiao came over to greet him, "What's your name, brother? Are there any new instructions from above?"
The work permit is real, but the person may not be.
"You should change your clothes and wipe your face first."
Li Zehua looked at him and tried to hold back his laughter. "As for instructions, there are none for now. I'm just a small fry. I won't know the specific arrangements until the leaders tell me at the meeting this afternoon."
It has been a week since he came back from Lijiaopo. During this week, he has been dealing with various friendly businesses and leaders of functional departments.
In order to organize an industrial alliance for the logistics and express delivery industry, and to cooperate with PICC, the Shanghai Insurance Regulatory Commission contacted Qingyun Great Eastern to obtain a full license.
In the meantime, senior executives from the three major operators came to Shanghai to negotiate contract phones. In short, they were very busy.
After finally achieving initial results, he had just come out of the Modu government office in the morning when he happened to come across a fire. He didn't care at the time because the fire brigade had arrived and was busy putting out the fire.
At that time, he was still sighing that water and fire were merciless. Now he didn't know which family would cry. Seeing that the fire was so big, he hoped that no one would be killed.
The slap in the face came too quickly. Just as I finished thinking, I heard Wang Fei say with a bitter face:
"Chairman, this building seems to be owned by a real estate company."
As he said this, he took out his cell phone and showed it to him. The location of the fire in the picture was where he was now.
The downside of having too many properties is that after running around the city, Li Zehua didn’t even know which ones belonged to him. He knew that he had more than 1500 properties and shops in Shanghai.
The number of them is increasing rapidly every day. How could he remember them if nothing happened? For example, he has no impression of the building that caught fire.
The fire was very big at the time. Lead-acid batteries are usually very safe, but once they start burning they cannot be controlled for a while. Worried about loss of life, he stayed at the scene for a long time.
Fortunately, nothing serious happened. The head of the fire brigade on the scene said that the fire was caused by a line problem caused by unauthorized wiring, which ignited the lead-acid battery that was being charged.
Fortunately, it was during working hours and there was no one in the building.
It only caused property damage in two rooms. He called Yu Li at the time and asked her to learn from the lesson and eliminate the safety hazard of bringing batteries upstairs.
In the end, they were defeated by a bunch of data thrown out by Yu Li. The utilization rate of battery swap cabinets was very high, but the coverage rate of Hummingbird employees was not ideal.
Many employees bought two batteries and charged them alternately to save the battery replacement fee of more than 2 yuan each time. Of course, there are also not enough battery replacement cabinets.
For example, the cabinets at the entrance of the station can be rented by anyone and none of them are empty, but it is not realistic to increase the number of battery exchange cabinets on a large scale in the short term.
One is the limitation of battery production capacity, and the other is the limitation of site. Shanghai is not like a small city, and it is difficult to find a suitable location to place the battery swap cabinet, resulting in the number of newly added battery swap cabinets not keeping up with demand.
"Okay, wait here for a while. I'll go upstairs and wash my face and come down."
Stationmaster Xiao thought he had something to talk to him about, but he looked so embarrassed that he hurried upstairs.
At this time, everyone was waiting for dinner and gathered around the station without leaving.
As for Li Zehua, even with a mask on, you can still tell that he is very young. He wanders around in the crowd, and no one takes him seriously.
This is the effect we want. Otherwise, how can we find out what the people below are really thinking?
For example, Zhong Qiujie was very angry. He held the penalty notice in his hand and said angrily, "Fuck you, you fine me this and that. I won't serve you anymore."
Xiao Cai happened to come in and quickly advised, "Brother Zhong, don't be impulsive. If you lose this job, where can you find a job that pays 5,000 yuan a month?"
"Humph, I would rather ask my family to collect 60,000 yuan and go back to invest in a small supermarket than suffer here."
Zhong Qiujie seemed very angry, but he actually had a plan in mind a long time ago, he just hadn't made up his mind before.
There's someone from the administration department here, come up quickly and ask for details.
"Invest 60,000 yuan to open a supermarket, and you can be guaranteed to be transferred back to your hometown to work?"
Li Zehua was very confused. He didn't know about this, but it didn't bother him. "Wait a minute, I'll ask for you."
I turned on my phone and asked Wang Fei, who explained it over the phone...
The thing is true.
Because Qingyun Agricultural Service Company wants to establish an agricultural product processing industry chain, integrating agricultural product purchase, processing and sales to form a one-stop service.
According to the strategic plan set by Li Zehua in the past, fruit and vegetable supermarkets, street convenience stores, community supermarkets, and later large flagship store sales plans are all taken into consideration.
Except for mass-market tobacco, alcohol and beverages, all other products are produced by Qingyun’s holding and shareholding companies. To put it bluntly, these are sales channels established for internal consumption.
In addition to real estate, the investment company does not have enough funds to buy land and houses, so it needs the supermarket to increase operating cash flow and use leasing contracts to expand the scale of financing business.
Therefore, we came up with a plan for internal employees to invest more than 6 yuan to join the franchise. As long as they are willing to pay, the company will be responsible for providing all services such as venue, decoration, supply of goods, recruitment and training of personnel.
Simply put, employees who invest money are the bosses, but they cannot participate in any business activities of the store. They only have the right to check accounts and receive dividends, and enjoy the right to be transferred once, and can be directly arranged to work from home.
The group got the crucial start-up capital. 60,000 is just the minimum standard. There are other investment projects of 600,000, 6 million, and 60 million in the future...
With the most professional answers from company insiders, everyone felt relieved.
After hearing this, Zhong Qiujie became more determined to go home, and the people around him also became moved.
The only problem is the 60,000 yuan!
This was in 2010, when even in Shanghai, the median per capita income was just over 2000 yuan. (End of this chapter)
