<h2>2020 is too sad? It seems like most people don't want to restart</h2>
@Multipoint Dmall President Zhang Feng
2020 is too magical. Under the epidemic situation, some domestic enterprises have fallen into the development dilemma of "internal and external troubles". As far as the retail industry we are in is concerned, the beginning of the year is the peak sales season, the customer flow of chain supermarket stores has declined, sales have declined, masks are in short supply, and Xinfadi is closed... In crisis, the epidemic has also brought positive stimuli, cultivated consumers' consumption habits of "fresh to home", retail companies began to accelerate the embrace of digitalization, cooperation with multi-point Dmall to open home business, explore new business models such as e-commerce live broadcasting, and achieved little success. When it comes to whether you want to start again, I think it is better to look forward together. Under the experience of the extreme situation of fighting the epidemic this year, I think retail enterprises have more confidence in their hearts, and we are fighting a prepared battle.
@ Yang Wenjun, executive deputy general manager of Shuangma Plastics
Of course, no, the sudden outbreak of the epidemic is bad news for enterprises. As a foreign trade-oriented enterprise, with the arrival of the epidemic in China and the intensification of the epidemic abroad, our enterprises have indeed panicked and confused. But we also learn to find opportunities in the midst of difficulties. For example, the online sales of our products in China and the domestic market have increased exponentially during the epidemic; the out-of-control epidemic situation abroad and the slow recovery of industry have allowed export companies to find a large number of opportunities. This year has made the Chinese more united and more enterprising, and our factory has also achieved experience in this epidemic. After that, I believe that everyone can calmly face difficulties and challenges.
@ Foreign-related tour guide Xiao Zheng
Reluctance to restart. Although his work has been greatly affected this year, this year has not been in vain, and he has just used this year's free time to complete what he wants to do most in recent years.
@ Zhongtong courier Master Yang
Not very willing. 2020 is somewhat intimidated by the pandemic. At the beginning of the epidemic, I was worried that I would lose my job. In the first few months, I thought that everyone was not in a good mood at that time. However, with the wide-scale opening of the resumption of work and production, especially after the two shopping festivals of 618 and Double 11 in the second half of the year, the orders we receive every day can be said to have returned to the level of the previous year, and my heart is open and I no longer worry about unemployment. So I don't want to live in 2020, and the process in the middle is a bit scary.
@Australian international student Myokoko
Reluctantly. This year, on the whole, I "went against the trend" and did everything I wanted to do, such as the last train back to Australia when the opportunity was made a few years ago, and then transferred schools and moved to cities, although these major events were successfully completed, but because of the epidemic, every link made me anxious for a long time, so don't come again.
@Suning Logistics courier Pan Hu
Reluctantly. Because the emergence of the epidemic this year is not only a threat to our lives and health, but also an impact on our resumption of production and work, this cost is too great, I do not want to do it again.
@ Debon Express courier Li Chengyu
I think 2020 is very good, at the beginning from college students to Debon as a courier psychological gap is quite large, after a period of work, I feel that some of the ideas of the company and the industry are still quite attractive to me.
@ Gome employee Xiao Zhang
Very tangled. The good part of this year is that although the market has been affected to a certain extent, this year has achieved a lot of great things and has a great sense of accomplishment; I don't want to repeat 2020 because this year is too tired.
@Lalala CMO as champion
I don't want 2020 to do it all over again, because the emergence of COVID-19 has brought a lot of inconvenience to all aspects of people's lives.
@ Chi aid Wuhan truck driver Li Gaofeng
I don't want 2020 to happen again, because I don't want the epidemic to happen again, and I want Cathay Pacific to live and work in peace and contentment.
@ Takeaway guy who likes to ride
I'd love to do it all over again in 2020 if I could. At the end of 2019, I quit my hometown in Shandong to take a stable civil service job and came to Beijing, and at the age of 31, I didn't really know what I really wanted. I like to ride, from Heze, Shandong all the way to Qinghai, the scenery, people and things along the way make me feel precious. But in the end, there is no way to live like this. At the beginning of the year, when the epidemic swept in, I had no job and income to live in a friend's house, and it was indeed because of the compulsion of life that I began to register as a rider to deliver food.
@Kayou Zone founder Chen Long
If you are willing to start over, you will buy more gold or Bitcoin.
In fact, this year's Spring Festival, I returned to the company on the fifth day of the first year, when the epidemic just occurred, in order to do a good job after the epidemic, I returned to the company to order some masks and other epidemic prevention items in advance. I had discussions with several of my company partners. Made a few predictions. First, the epidemic will not end quickly, and we agree that we will adapt to the long-term social environment of the epidemic in the future. Second, the global economic form is likely to change dramatically. Third, gold will rise.
However, seriously, the company's development strategy has not exceeded expectations. We start from the Internet + logistics industry; when we have not yet resumed work, with the gradual development of the epidemic, many situations are actually predictable. After the overall economic form has changed, the mechanism of the corresponding logistics industry has also changed, and we have made this response in advance. To say a small point: our company has done a full salary increase this year.
@ Huahai Shunda Grain and Oil Seasoning Co., Ltd. Chairman Qian Qinghua
Reluctantly. Those who go are not to be advised, but those who come can be traced. At the beginning of 2020, the beauty we envisioned did not come as expected, we saw accidents, we saw diseases, we saw the fragility of life... But in the face of the epidemic, we have also witnessed the strength of the motherland, the greatness of the nation, and the brave responsibility of the party and the government. In 2020, the "rat" is not easy, we have firm confidence to move forward, cheer in hope, persist in difficulties, in 2021, I wish our motherland and people "cattle" to turn around!
<h2>Two</h2>
<h2>No matter what we experience, we are always trying to live</h2>
There is no panic and confusion in 2020. We have more challenges this year, and this year, multi-point has been undertaking wave after wave of "hard" demand from retailers, multi-point "supply ammunition", and everyone "attacks the mountain" together.
One thing that was particularly impressive was that on February 6, the Wuhan intelligent hardware team suddenly received the demand of Zhongbai Warehouse, to install the multi-point Dmall self-service purchase in Huoshenshan Hospital to provide "contactless cashier" service, our two employees did not have a little hesitation in the epidemic area, received the order to rush directly to the cabin hospital 60 kilometers, 4 hours to complete the installation, debugging, to achieve the first time self-service purchase in the unmanned store operation. The multi-point system is also in a state of stress, and in the 31 days from January 30 to February 29, the multi-point retail joint cloud Dmall OS 585 subsystem was iterated 3156 times.
In fact, since the Chinese New Year's Eve the hard battle against the epidemic has begun, all the senior management of our company has stopped, 24 hours online, and the most basic day is to hold three meetings of morning meetings, evening parties and technical seminars, and this work state has continued until the end of Q3 2020. This was the period of time when multi-point Dmall was under the highest and longest pressure on the system since its inception, and it is vividly remembered now.
During the epidemic period, all our staff members from top to bottom are only allowed to enter the factory and are not allowed to leave the factory, and everyone lives in the factory. I arrive at the studio at 6:30 every morning on time to publicize the epidemic prevention requirements for the majority of employees, and when everyone hears the sound of the broadcast, it means that they have to get up and wash up and start preparing for the new day's work. This scene lasted for half a month in our factory. At that time, to be honest, I was still very worried about the epidemic. And when we are ready to resume work and production, there is a great difficulty in the timely arrival of employees, the local government and enterprises timely coordination, through chartered buses, personnel filing and other forms, to meet the rapid resumption of work and production of enterprises; through efforts our enterprises the first batch of resumption of work, February 17 resumption of work, March 1 employees reached 90%, production is in normal. With the government's guarantee and the gradual stabilization of the epidemic, everyone is full of hope and enthusiasm for the beginning. This year, our sales in 2020 increased by about 25% compared with 2019. So, thanks also for 2020.
For me, although it was a helpless move, it was finally the realization of my biggest wish in recent years. This year, because of the epidemic, everyone's outbound travel has been suspended, which is actually equivalent to complete unemployment for our tour guides who mainly take outbound tour groups. In the past two months, at least one and a half months have been on business trips, there is no rest time, and this year there is almost no work. So in order to make ends meet, I had to do some part-time work to make money. Fortunately, I usually like and are good at running, so I have been working part-time as a running coach this year. About 4-5 classes a week, in fact, a little overloaded in running, but no way, so half a year, I lost more than ten pounds. But it is precisely because I have time to run this year that I have finally fulfilled my wish to run as a pacer, which still makes me feel very happy.
The deepest memory is this year's double 11 period express warehouse explosion, compared to previous years everyone also complained about this "sweet burden", this year basically did not hear anyone complaining, everyone is concentrating on work, a few of our friends in the busy double 11 pieces also drank a little wine. When everyone works together and drinks together, they feel that the "little day" feeling that they can relax after the previous work is back.
At that time, the epidemic had just broken out, and in order to go to school, I followed the large troops to "return to Australia from a third country". Choosing this road is also a last resort, and the risk is very large, first go to a third country need to complete the quarantine period, and the policy of the third country to return to Australia may change at any time, you have no idea what will usher in tomorrow. So when I was quarantined in a third country, I was anxious. I was basically insomnia the first few days. Later, there was no danger. But just after returning to Australia, the school announced a total suspension of classes to start online teaching, and then began to take online classes at home every day and stay up late to warm books. After the exam, I planned to relax and have a small gathering with friends, but as a result, my city was locked down for another 9 months. In short, this year has been extremely tragic.
When the melbourne epidemic first arose, I didn't know whether I was overly nervous or the study tasks in those days were heavy, in short, one day I read a book in the early morning and prepared to go to bed, I suddenly felt difficulty swallowing and chest tightness. It was really scary to death. Then I struggled for a long time between seeking medical treatment and surviving, because calling an ambulance was about 2,000 knives, and students really couldn't afford to hurt; if I didn't go and was afraid of death, in case it was the new crown, I might not have a future. In the end, I felt that my life was still important, so I went to the hospital for emergency treatment.
For us couriers, the most impressive thing in 2020 is definitely the delivery work during the epidemic. At that time, when the epidemic was serious, masks were still in short supply, which could be said to be heavy and difficult to buy. We were also worried that our masks were not enough, and we did not expect that in the end, in the case of extreme shortage, the company still distributed masks and disinfectants to us. When delivering, some customers also took the initiative to give us masks and told us to pay attention to safety, which actually made my heart warm.
On January 23, due to the severe epidemic situation, Wuhan officially announced the lockdown, and then a large number of medical rescue and daily necessities came out, I did not have any resources in hand, that is, some vehicles, although there were bumps in the way, or on time to transport rescue materials to the handover point near Wuhan Leishenshan Hospital, which can also be regarded as contributing their own strength.
When I was impressed, it was during the severe epidemic. Wuhan lockdown. You will find that sure enough, everything is different. Martial law began across the country, and registration was required to enter and exit the neighborhood, which had a faint apocalyptic atmosphere in the disaster film, but it contained an orderly and firm message, and there was no despair.
Because we are the characteristics of the company, we have become a key unit for epidemic prevention, and we have set up a key working group to be responsible for part of the transportation and scheduling of epidemic prevention materials at that time. Every day, we arrange for our users (that is, truck drivers) to transport supplies to Wuhan.
On one occasion, a medical refrigerator was transported to the Vulcan Mountain Hospital under construction. Receiving this task at night, the emergency work put the vehicle in place. At that time I had a strong desire to go with me. I don't know why, it's a very strong desire. So I made a phone call with the black brother who was in charge of driving at the time and set the departure time. But then my friends and friends blocked it, of course, mainly because I didn't insist, so I didn't follow it. But that doesn't stop it from becoming an impressive thing. Now that I think back, maybe I don't want to give a lot of users a lot of people, we just sit in the background, just let them charge the feeling!
