"Old Jin, you listen to me, don't resign, if you can't buy a house after five years, I'll buy it for you!"
A boss promises to buy a house for an employee? This sounds like a fantasy, where are such good benefits?
But Jin Yicai, JD.com's 001 courier, really met.
Jingdong Express 001 Jin Yicai
When he proposed to leave, Liu Qiangdong, the big boss of the Jingdong Group, personally came to the door to persuade and gave this promise.
So Jin Yicai stayed like this, working for 12 years, the once five-year covenant has long passed the deadline, has he now got a house?
Entering middle age, what kind of life is he living in Jingdong Group?
Full of grievances, he chose to resign
"I tell you, I must return this milk, and I have to complain to you!" Complain about your company! ”
The customer in front of him had a vicious face, scolded Jin Yicai with a harsh voice, and slammed the door hard.
Jin Yicai, who has traveled for tens of kilometers, stands in place with milk in a daze, not knowing what to do, this milk is definitely no problem, but because the packaging is different from the customer's familiarity, he is unwilling to sign for it, and he also has to complain.
His heart was very aggrieved, but he still kept in mind the responsibilities of his work and did not want to cause trouble for the company, after all, Jingdong Logistics was just starting at that time, and word of mouth was too important.
So Jin Yicai ran to a nearby supermarket, according to the customer's description, paid for new milk, came here again to deliver, and constantly apologized.
Under his pleading and compensation, the customer finally gave up the complaint, and Jin Yicai was relieved to continue to deliver other orders.
But because there were not many Jingdong couriers at this time, everyone was responsible for a large area and order volume, and it was particularly nervous to deliver within the specified time, not to mention that he had delayed for so long.
So the next several express deliveries were delayed, the customers were very dissatisfied, and Jin Yicai, who had worked overtime to complete the task, returned home and sighed.
Thinking back to the grievances at work, things like today happen almost every day, and he is simply an air bag!
He couldn't help but think in his heart: Why do you have to do this work, it's hard and angry, it's better to change a simple hard work!
The more he thought about it, the more angry Jin Yicai decided to resign, so the next day he submitted an application to the manager, this move frightened the company's people, this is the 001 courier, the company's first delivery employee!
Even if we don't talk about other influences, just consider Jin Yicai's work attitude, the manager does not want him to leave.
Since he joined the company, not only is he serious and responsible, but also has a strong recognition of the company, just take this out-of-pocket loss of money, you can see his simple heart.
In addition, since joining the company, Jin Yicai has done a lot of work other than sending express delivery, because at that time, Jingdong Logistics was just starting out, and many people did not understand the industry at all, so there was not much business, and couriers were difficult to find.
Under such circumstances, Jin Yicai not only recruited employees for the company, but also took flyers to solicit business in the responsible area after work.
While he is responsible for the large range of express delivery, he also does extra work, which can be said to be a three-part heart with a piece of money.
Such a good employee has to leave JD.com, doesn't that prove that the company has a problem?
Coupled with the 001, which is a special existence in itself, he has witnessed the growth of the company, so how can the elder-level employees leave?
So the manager did not dare to make his own decision, reported this matter, and soon Liu Qiangdong knew, he was also very surprised, for Jin Yicai, he was very impressed.
001 courier fresh "baked"
In 2007, the first warehouse of JD Group landed in Haidian District, Beijing, and then the first distribution station was officially completed, announcing the beginning of the glory of JD Logistics.
However, Liu Qiangdong, who strives to overcome public opinion and build Jingdong's logistics system, is facing one difficulty after another at this time.
The nameless JD Logistics is like a "three no products", no business, no experience, not even employees.
Many applicants became suspicious as soon as they saw the dilapidated warehouse, and no one wanted to join the job, suspecting that it was an unreliable small business that would close down in a few days.
In this case, Jin Yicai appeared, in 2009, in his prime, he was looking for opportunities at various job fairs, and he was anxious when he thought of running three, and he did not have a stable income, let alone buying a house and getting married.
In such a situation, he found the news that Jingdong was recruiting couriers, felt that the work content looked reliable, and the salary and benefits were good, so he went to the door for an interview.
The recruiter was also very excited to see that a good candidate had finally arrived, and rushed to the front to receive, and after some communication, both sides felt that it was very suitable.
So Jin Yicai officially joined the company and became the first courier of Jingdong, numbered 001, he did not think at this time, he would become the predecessor of hundreds of thousands of couriers!
In the next period of time, he grew rapidly without experience, and soon became an excellent courier, and his fame even reached Liu Qiangdong's ears.
At that time, Liu Qiangdong was also in the early stage of entrepreneurship, and various problems needed to be solved by him, and hearing that the old employees of his company were so motivated also gave him greater motivation.
And at the beginning, in order to be more familiar with the business and attract more customers, Liu Qiangdong himself also experienced the courier, so he understood more about the difficulty and shining point of Jin Yicai, and he also remembered the name 001 Jin Yicai.
However, as the fame of Jingdong Logistics is getting bigger and bigger, the number of express delivery orders is increasing, Jin Yicai is a bit overwhelmed, and when the company is getting better and better, he feels that his future is more confused.
The surge in order volumes, the expanded area of responsibility, the number of couriers have not kept up in time, and the business of new people is not skilled, so more tasks are pressed on old employees.
At that time, in addition to the basic salary, Jin Yicai's main income was commission, which was billed according to the number of pieces completed in a day, but in this case, he could not increase the number of pieces at all, the income was getting lower and lower, and the dissatisfaction of customers was increasing.
These things were backlogged in Jin Yicai's heart, and when the last straw fell, he completely collapsed and decided to give up this job that had no future.
After understanding the crux of the problem, Liu Qiangdong decided to personally come to the door to persuade him, born poor, determined to be a conscientious boss, he really did not want a senior-level employee to leave like this.
When Jin Yicai saw the big boss who appeared in front of him, he couldn't believe his eyes, all along in his heart, Liu Qiangdong was a legend!
Liu Qiangdong: The founder of Heavy Love and Righteousness
When it comes to self-made rich people, Liu Qiangdong will definitely be mentioned by people, and his story has become the pillar of the hearts of many young entrepreneurs.
In 1974, Liu Qiangdong was born in an ordinary family in Suqian, Jiangsu Province, and the poor environment did not consume his fighting spirit, but made him know how to work hard from an early age.
So in the 1992 college entrance examination, he was admitted to Chinese Min University with a score of 680 points, becoming the pride of the eight villages.
But the family could not even get the tuition fee, and they were about to drop out of school, so the people in the village made up five hundred yuan for five yuan and ten yuan, which sent Liu Qiangdong to the university.
From this moment on, he firmly remembered this kindness in his heart, and vowed to get ahead in the future and repay his father and fellow countrymen.
In the subsequent university life, he worked hard while studying hard, tasting the bittersweet and bittersweet in life, these experiences made him decide that if he succeeded one day, he must be a good boss with a conscience and let the employees live like people!
In 1998, Liu Qiangdong accumulated enough work experience and saved more than 10,000 yuan, he came to Zhongguancun in Beijing and opened a small counter of "Jingdong Multimedia", which is the starting point of Jingdong Mall.
A few years later, his career expanded step by step, with the rise of the network, but also came to the line, Liu Qiangdong keenly realized that in the future to create a Jingdong "kingdom", the logistics system must be independent.
"Why can't the courier be delivered the next day?" Can't be delivered on the same day? How many days must it be delivered? ”
This idea has always been hidden in his heart, so he decided to create a logistics system where service is king, to let customers have the fastest and best delivery experience, and Jingdong Logistics was born.
If the logistics company is a hive, then the courier is a small bee that shuttles through it, everyone is very important, in the face of more and more sweet fruits, Liu Qiangdong has never forgotten his original intention.
Even if you don't mention the various bonuses and benefits that JD.com prepares for employees, You can see Liu Qiangdong's persistence from the dormitory.
Once Liu Qiangdong came to Suqian's staff dormitory to visit, he found 6 employees living in a room, and he was furious at the time.
This phenomenon, which is common in other factories, is unacceptable to him: "It's like the dormitories arranged by the black heart factory for the workers, I said, let our employees live with dignity!" ”
It is precisely because of his decision that JD.com's staff dormitories are notoriously comfortable, and some can even be comparable to hotels.
There are many such things, it can be said that from beginning to end, Liu Qiangdong is a boss with feelings and righteousness, so he is full of reluctance in the face of Jin Yicai, who is leaving.
Stick to it for five years, and you must buy a house
On this day, Liu Qiangdong put down other businesses, specially came to the door to find Jin Yicai, said that he wanted to have a good talk with him, and let him say the reason for leaving.
In the face of such a legendary figure, Jin Yicai was very nervous at first, but after a while, he expressed his grievances under the care of Liu Qiangdong.
Difficulties from customers, getting older and older but unstable income, can't even buy a house for their families, don't know where their future is.....
The confusion and pain of a middle-aged man is so real that Liu Qiangdong can't help but be moved, he understands where the problem is, first of all, he will guarantee that he will arrange the work better.
Then he pointed out a most critical demand: "Old Jin, you believe me, our company will definitely get stronger and stronger, you insist on five years will be able to buy a house, if not I will pay this money!" ”
Hearing this, Jin Yicai was stunned, never a boss had ever given such a promise, looking at Liu Qiangdong's firm eyes, he chose to believe.
At this time, he did not know that the decision to choose to stay would make his dream come true!
Since then, Jin Yicai has quickly put into work again, and Jingdong Logistics has also recruited more couriers, and the amount of tasks and pressure of each person is not so great.
"If you want to make more money, you can earn more than 10,000 pieces a month, plus various bonuses, year-end bonuses, which are stronger than any physical work!"
This is the heart of a courier in 2019, in his opinion, JD.com has a very good conscience for these ordinary courier employees, and he is willing to stay forever.
What about Jin Yicai? This old employee's original insistence is now 12 years! Now he said that he would not want to resign!
In 2012, he won the "Beyond Self" award personally awarded by Liu Qiangdong, and in 2014, after staying for five years, he won a silver medal and received a generous prize, and No. 001 also became the golden sign of JD.com!
Now, he is also a courier of JD.com, in addition to his monthly salary of tens of thousands, he also has various commissions and bonuses, with an annual income of nearly 200,000.
Although it is not in Beijing, he has bought a long-awaited large house in his hometown and has his own "roots".
Of course, his footsteps still will not stop, wearing the 001 number, he always keeps in mind the original intention of Jingdong's entrepreneurship, follow such a sentient and righteous boss, join this conscientious enterprise, Jin Yicai feels that this is the most correct choice in this life.
epilogue
We can often see a sentence on the Internet now, called "a generation has a generation of persistence", which is very appropriate to describe Liu Qiangdong and Jingdong Group.
In today's e-commerce era, Taobao, Pinduoduo, and Jingdong stand on three feet, and if they want to survive in such fierce competition, many companies may choose bad means, but Jingdong has always adhered to its heart.
Take Jingdong Logistics, the delivery time is a clear stream, and with other express delivery time of three or four days, the next day's Jingdong is still the choice of many customers.
And in recent years, there have been more and more contradictions between couriers and customers, and the debate about rookie stations in 2022 has emerged endlessly.
Many people have said, why is it that the basic element of express delivery at the beginning, home delivery, has now become a luxury?
There are also paid courier cabinets, customers not only have to take the courier themselves, but also have to be careful to time out, otherwise they will have to pay.
But Jingdong Express is still an "old rule", the courier must contact the customer by phone, delivery to the door to ensure that it is correct, such a basic service has now become a highlight of Jingdong.
In fact, whether it is the individual represented by Jin Yicai or the enterprise represented by JD Logistics, we can see that if we want to succeed and want to go further, persistence is very important.
So whether it is an entrepreneur or an ordinary person who works, we should not forget this simplest and most precious quality in the long journey.
