Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 374: A Delivery Guy Bragging in the Restaurant
Yang Yu is a senior student, and as graduation approaches, he needs to find a company for internship, so he’s been out and about these days.
His family condition is average, and to save money, he likes to eat at those small restaurants that offer good value for money.
Today he went to his usual small restaurant and ordered a rice bowl.
He was happily eating while sitting on the stool when he heard someone next to him talking.
"In the future, I hope our full-time delivery brothers can exceed one million, and for these one million, I want to provide them with five social insurances and one housing fund, so that when they are old and retired, they can have money for their retirement."
What nonsense is this, can delivery workers really get five insurances and one housing fund?
Having already set foot halfway into society and been beaten down by the low wages and overtime demands of various companies, Yang Yu looked over sideways.
He saw a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties holding up a wine glass giving a speech to a group of delivery workers.
Must be drunk.
Yang Yu thought to himself while casually recording a video to send to his dorm group chat.
"Guys, I just had a meal and this delivery guy was bragging, saying he was going to give one million delivery workers five insurances and one housing fund."
"He looks a lot like Liu Qiangxi." A roommate commented after watching the video.
"Looks alike, but doesn’t have the same vibe. He looks like he’s been delivering all day, beaten half-dead by life."
Soon, Yang Yu finished his meal and prepared to leave.
Just then, a young man wearing a delivery uniform walked into the restaurant.
"Why does this guy look like Chen Yiyang?" Yang Yu found it odd.
Although Chen Yiyang isn’t as famous as the big names in the business world like the two Mas, Lei Jun, or Liu Qiangxi.
He is still fairly well-known among the younger generation.
Mainly because he mixes in both the entertainment and business circles, and has invested in many high-tech projects.
He’s a role model in the hearts of young people.
Plus, some gossip accounts in the entertainment circle keep spreading rumors that he is involved with female celebrities, which boosts his resources.
This leads many people to believe Chen Yiyang in the entertainment industry can sleep with whoever he wants.
Sometime Chen Yiyang himself sees these news reports and actually considers asking out some female stars.
But thinking about how every famous female star is very calculating, getting involved is easy but breaking away is hard.
So he gave up on the idea.
The trends these years are not the same as before. Chen Yiyang doesn’t want to end up losing like Qiangge.
"You guys eat without waiting for me, huh?"
Chen Yiyang took two more delivery orders before getting off work, and because he’s not familiar with the road, he just arrived at the restaurant.
By this time, Liu Qiangxi’s speech had already ended.
Although Chen Yiyang didn’t know what Liu Qiangxi said, just as he walked in he saw several delivery workers who originally wore Baoleme or Ugly Group uniforms now donning red Jindong delivery uniforms, clearly knowing Qiangge’s speech was sincere and genuine.
"Chen is here, let me introduce, this is our Jindong’s partner." Liu Qiangxi pointed at Chen Yiyang and said, "He has promised me that if any delivery worker fails to pay for their five insurances and housing fund, he’ll cover it himself."
"I always keep my word." Chen Yiyang said without hesitation, "As long as they work full-time on our platform, whether it’s delivery or instant retail, they’ll definitely have five insurances and one housing fund."
Chen Yiyang finished speaking and pulled up a stool to sit down.
Today those sitting here are all earnest delivery workers.
Chen Yiyang also hopes to hear from them to understand frontline delivery workers’ feelings.
So he opened his mouth and asked, "Alright, folks. Our Jindong delivery and instant retail have been online for a couple of days, how do you feel about the actual experience?"
"I have a small opinion here." A forty-ish man said, "I used to be a programmer, after optimization I started doing deliveries. I have experienced our delivery software here.
From our delivery workers’ perspective, the instant retail software still has some shortcomings, not as good as the Ugly Group’s delivery worker app."
"Please go into details." Chen Yiyang hurriedly toasted this brother with a beer.
"First, the navigation isn’t very clear. Ugly Group’s software route planning is very convenient and accurate, even if you’re unfamiliar with the road, following their navigation will lead you to the specific location.
But once our software reaches complex terrain, it’s easy to mislocate a place or mistake floors."
"Understood." Chen Yiyang knew this problem is quite serious.
Because delivery is a highly mobile job. Many people during unemployment will choose to do delivery temporarily to transition.
These people indeed don’t know the roads well and need to rely on the navigation in the delivery app.
"We’ll cooperate with some major navigation software in the future to solve this problem." Chen Yiyang immediately promised.
This brother went on to give a few more software-related suggestions after which Chen Yiyang felt they were very reasonable, needing timely optimization to provide delivery workers with a very good experience.
Therefore, Chen Yiyang and this brother exchanged contacts for future convenience.
Soon, the gathering ended and after saying goodbye to other delivery workers with Liu Qiangxi, Chen Yiyang was about to get in the car to leave, but Liu Qiangxi suddenly said,
"Why not chat a bit more?"
"All right." Chen Yiyang simply sat by the roadside with Liu Qiangxi.
"Over twenty years ago, when I was selling discs in Zhongguan Village, I often held a big box to deliver goods.
These days delivering food has brought back some youthful feelings."
"Whether back then or now, actually your mindset is different from those earnest delivery workers."
Chen Yiyang also took the rare opportunity to speak candidly with Liu Qiangxi, "When you were doing delivery back then, no matter how hard or tiring it was, the money earned was yours. Not only could you earn money, but you could also see the future prospect, feeling that enduring the hardship would lead to success in the future.
But actually, many delivery workers today are doing this industry purely because they can’t find other paths, and choose this profession as a last resort. So they don’t want to hear about future prospects, development, and such emptiness, what’s tangible and real is the money they receive.
In running this industry, remember not to overly advertise other things, just promote how much money we can put in their hands."
"All right, got it." Liu Qiangxi nodded.
Entering the delivery industry, whether for Liu Qiangxi or Chen Yiyang, is a crucial decision.
If in the future they really manage to support a million-level full-time delivery workers.
Then they will truly be people’s capitalists, as long as they don’t mess around, it’s akin to holding a get-out-of-jail-free card.
