I can become stronger by paying salaries. I have one billion employees!

Chapter 212 Ele.me Rider: Bro, I want to join Kuaipao Delivery too!
10:08 a.m. the next day.

Employees of Yunsu Express, Kuaipao, Orange Technology, Kuaidi Dache, Pinbei Technology, Orange Payment, and Orange Mobile Phone Factory all received start-up bonuses ranging from 88 to 888 yuan after logging into their Orange Payment accounts.

Subsequently, all employees of Orange Technology's headquarters moved from Building 8 to Building 9 in the park, while the original Building 8 was left to Orange Pay.

"Starting today, Orange Pay will officially enter the independent operation phase. The service fees for Pinbei, Yunsu, Orange Mall and Kuaipao will be directly included in the project's revenue."

In the office on the fifth floor, Chen Yansen looked at Zhang Yinjia across from him and said.

Last year, he originally wanted to poach Chen Wei from Zhifubao, and also reduce a competitor for Kuaidi Dache. However, Chen Wei remained unmoved by the high salary and the position of project general manager.

Chen Yansen had no choice but to settle for second best and had a headhunter poach Zhang Yinjia from him.

This person was originally the general manager of the Business Intelligence Department of Zhifubao. During his tenure, he developed a barcode payment patent, which can be considered the earliest prototype of QR code payment in China.

Zhang Yinjia's rank in Ali was only P9, with a monthly salary of just over 8 yuan. The rest of his salary was in the form of Zhifubao stock options, which were worthless in 2012.

Chen Yansen only offered him a base salary of 10 yuan, plus 10 shares of Orange Payment options and 5 shares of Orange Technology equity.

Without hesitation, Zhang Yinjia switched from AliPay to OrangePay.

"Okay, boss."

Zhang Yinjia smiled and nodded, clearly satisfied with his new position and benefits.

At Zhifubao, he seemed to be enjoying great success, but P9 was only considered a mid-level manager, while Chen Yansen gave him the position of project manager for Orange Payment.

Report directly to the big boss!

Although Orange Pay had just been spun off from Orange Technology and Pinbei Mall, and had only a little over 200 employees in total, which was incomparable to the more than 2000 employees of Zhifubao, Zhang Yinjia didn't care.

In his view, the option value of Orange Pay is far higher than that of Wealth Treasure.

When splitting up OrangePay, Chen Yansen did not inform Tencent and DST, because he had already separated OrangePay before accepting their funding.

The employment contract and salary payments are all processed through Orange Pay's company account.

These 200-plus people only occupied a portion of the office space of Orange Technology and Pinbei.

After all, at the beginning, Orange Pay only had more than 30 R&D engineers and operations staff, so there was no need to rent a separate office building for them.

Chen Yansen and Zhang Yinjia chatted for a while longer, mainly discussing Orange Payment's profit-generating business direction in 2012.

Zhang Yinjia is very experienced in this area; he can simply adopt the same approach as Zhifubao without even using his brain.

In any case, the core profit points are nothing more than two: transaction fees and sales commissions for wealth management products.

An hour later, Chen Yansen waved his hand, signaling that Zhang Yinjia could go out and do his work.

Not long after Zhang Yinjia left, Lin Chenfeng called: "President Chen, President Ma has agreed to the request you made yesterday."

"Okay, I understand. I'll have Gao Weilin handle the signing with you."

Chen Yansen gave a brief reply, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then hung up the phone.

The 200 million yuan from Tencent is insignificant; what he values ​​more is the other party's traffic resources.

Three days later.

Pei Yi and his team quickly secured office space and set up 13 ground promotion offices centered around Longcao Road, covering most of Xuhui District.

The day of November 2th.

KuaiPao delivery service officially launched in Shanghai. The marketing department not only placed advertisements on television, newspapers, streaming media, and portal websites, but also arranged for some riders without orders to stand in the business center to hand out flyers.

Meanwhile, when delivering packages, Yunsu Express employees will also hand out a Kuaipao promotional leaflet.

"KuaiPao delivery service: Get ¥12 off your first order!"

For a time, Kuaipao's advertisements were everywhere in the Xuhui District.

"Oh!"

Sitting in his office, holding a Kuaipao (a promotional flyer for Kuaipao) flyer, Zhang Xuhao couldn't help but take a deep breath. He hadn't expected Kuaipao to arrive so quickly!

On the first day of February, they arrived in Shanghai.

The first wave of announcements was so powerful, with advertisements everywhere online and offline. Even QQ pop-ups pushed the news of Kuaipao Takeaway's launch to users in Shanghai.

With the support of high traffic, KuaiRun's first step into Shanghai went extremely smoothly.

At noon, orders surged.

Liao Wei temporarily reassigned 100 deliverymen, who changed into the work uniforms of Kuaipao Delivery, to help Pei Yi alleviate the delivery pressure.

In one morning, the total number of orders exceeded 10,000, leaving the more than 200 riders exhausted.

Ele.me delivery drivers in Xuhui District are not receiving any orders at all. It's not that the system isn't assigning orders, but rather that all the delivery orders in this area have been snatched up by KuaiPao.

After the lunch rush, as orders decreased, riders from both Ele.me and Kuaipao gathered in the open space of the commercial street to rest.

"Hey bro, how's the pricing for your KuaiPao delivery service?"

At this moment, an Ele.me delivery rider took the initiative to approach him and strike up a conversation.

"Including the order bonus, each order is seven or eight yuan. What about you guys?" Li Zhou asked with a smile after he finished speaking.

It should be noted that the usual price per unit in Luzhou is only a little over five yuan.

Upon hearing that the company was going to send a group of experienced riders to Shanghai, and that the price per rider would be two or three yuan higher, he followed Pei Yi to Shanghai without hesitation.

"Damn! It's only six yuan here on Eleme!"

Upon hearing this, the rider immediately felt a sense of disappointment.

Do you offer the five social insurances and one housing fund? Do you have accident insurance? Do you have a base salary? Do you have quarterly bonuses?

Li Zhou meant no harm; he was just asking out of curiosity.

Base salary?

Five social insurances and one housing fund?
A barrage of questions left the Ele.me delivery rider completely bewildered. His mind went blank for a few seconds before he finally reacted and asked incredulously, "You have all of these?"

"Of course! Even our electric scooters, food containers, and work uniforms are provided free of charge by the company. You guys don't even get a basic salary, do you?"

This time, it was Li Zhou's turn to be shocked.

He felt that if Kuaipao had it, Ele.me, as a competing platform, should also have it.

You guys don't even have a base salary, do you?
Li Zhou's words were so hurtful that the Ele.me delivery rider almost cursed out loud, but then he suddenly asked, "Brother, are you still hiring?"

"Of course I confessed. Damn it, I almost died from exhaustion this morning."

Li Zhou grinned, first smiled, then cursed.

"Where is the interview? Can you give me directions?" the Ele.me delivery rider asked eagerly.

"Hey buddy, are you changing jobs?" Li Zhou was taken aback, then chuckled.

"Brother, I also want to join Kuaipao." The Ele.me rider smiled bitterly and told Li Zhou that Ele.me doesn't offer any benefits, and he even had to buy his own electric scooter.

Li Zhou then realized that the treatment of Kuaipao (a type of delivery service) was so damaging to Ele.me riders.

A few hours later, more than half of Ele.me's riders in Xuhui District had changed into new clothes and transformed into Kuaipao delivery riders.

However, when delivering food, their delivery pitch wasn't quite fluent enough, and occasionally they'd blurt out, "Eleme wishes you a pleasant meal."

This left users completely confused, wondering if Kuaipao and Eleme were the same company.

As more and more riders left the platform, Zhang Xuhao quickly realized something was wrong. When he learned that all of them had switched to Kuaipao delivery, he was so angry he almost vomited blood.
