"It's true that every profession has its own master."
"Yeah, it's really amazing that this delivery boy can deliver food to this extent. His hard work is worthy of his monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan."
"Although it's manual work, it's much more comfortable than working in factories and construction sites. No wonder there are so many delivery boys. This industry is really profitable. "
"I see that some delivery workers complain about their low wages. In fact, it's because they're inefficient. Don't you see that these delivery boys can get a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan? That's already much higher than the salary of many white-collar workers. "
"But there are many prerequisites for getting so much money."
"So what if there are prerequisites? They can do it, but you can't. Isn't it because you're inefficient? Delivery is indeed profitable, but it's not a place for lazy people. If you're lazy, you can't improve your efficiency, and you can't provide better service to customers. Of course, you'll make less money. "
Many viewers were impressed by the wonderful performance of the delivery boys. They were even a little envious of these delivery boys.
After all, many people's wages were lower than these delivery boys'.
After introducing the daily work of these delivery boys, the last segment was the real focus.
The recording staff asked the delivery boys a few questions. One of the questions was whether they were willing to take a little more rest time. For example, after an hour of cumulative delivery, they had to rest for 10 minutes to prevent excessive fatigue.
Or they could set a limit for the number of orders they could take every day. After that limit, they could not take any more orders.
Or they could set a limit of 10 orders to be taken at a time.
They originally thought that this was a measure to reduce the burden on the delivery boys, but they did not expect to be unanimously opposed by the delivery boys.
"Of course not. Why do you have to do this?"
"Has this rule ever considered our feelings?"
"We don't need to rest. We just want to make money. If we rest for 10 minutes, we'll make a lot less money."
"I can take 15 orders at a time now. If they forcefully reduce it to 10, then what about the money for the remaining 5 orders?"
"That's right. This kind of rule can't be made on a whim. It has to be considered from our point of view."
All the delivery men were unanimous in their opposition to these opinions.
Although there was no clear specific point of view in the video, Homestay Takeout could still make some comments in the comment section to guide public opinion.
And this kind of public opinion is focused on two aspects.
First, it emphasized that the food delivery industry was one where the more one worked, the more one would get. The hard work of the delivery men was their own choice. Even if the delivery platform wanted to lower the requirements of the delivery men and let them take fewer orders, the delivery men would not accept it.
Secondly, it emphasized that the delivery platform had given a lot of subsidies to the delivery men, merchants, and customers. Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve the high salary of the delivery men and the low delivery fees of the platform at the same time.
This argument was similar to what Sheng Yun Express had said before. They only needed a delivery fee of three yuan to deliver the goods from the merchant to the customer's home. What else were they dissatisfied with?
Weren't these cheap delivery fees and the cornerstones of the high income of the delivery men created by the platform?
This was obviously a counterattack to the person in charge of the previous episode who said that they would dismantle the takeout routine.
Moreover, the effect was not bad, because this kind of speech was indeed confusing!
Especially when coupled with the video, the attitude of the Chinese and foreign salesman was even more convincing.
Moreover, everyone knew that most of the other delivery men had the same attitude. They worked as delivery men to earn money. If there was a limit to their order volume and working hours, they would be very dissatisfied.
Pei Qian looked at Ma Yang. "Old Ma, what do you think of this video?"
Old Ma scratched his head. "I feel like there is a problem somewhere, but I can't tell."
Pei Qian nodded slightly. He had seen a little more than Old Ma and could roughly say something.
However, he did not intend to hit Home Delivery head-on for the time being because the current takeout platform was still a relatively positive and healthy platform.
These Internet innovation platforms might have a series of adverse effects after forming a monopoly position, but at least for now, they were still positive and progressive.
It was just like the impact of the online car-hailing platform on the taxi industry. Although there would be various problems after the online car-hailing platform monopolized the industry, it did facilitate the industry at the beginning, integrated demand, and had great significance for progress.
Many things still had to be looked at in two. One had to be realistic, objective, and fair.
Of course, the words of Home Delivery could not withstand in-depth investigation. Once one took it seriously, one would find all kinds of problems behind it.
On the one hand, the merits and demerits could not be offset. Contributions could not be denied, and the objective problems of the platform could not be denied.
On the other hand, even if these platforms had a certain degree of progress, it could not prevent better platforms from replacing them.
However, Pei Qian felt that there was no need to completely kill these platforms now. He could let them be active for a while more.
Even the anti-Tengda Alliance's struggle gave Pei Qian some hope.
It was not only Pei Qian's hope but also the hope of the entire industry.
Through this public opinion war, everyone could understand the routines more deeply and recognize the problems more clearly. Only then could the industry move in the right direction.
Was Tengda's code unquestionable? Was Tengda always right?
Of course, Pei Qian did not think so.
In fact, Pei Qian also felt that the person in charge said that this program was a bit too smooth. Every time it dismantled the routines, it would be greatly welcomed by ordinary people. This kind of influence was actually a double-edged sword with danger.
Pei Qian hoped that ordinary people could also listen to opinions from other aspects and be able to think independently to judge whether something was right or wrong instead of completely following Tengda.
"Alright, that's all for today. I'm going back to rest."
Pei Qian stood up and prepared to leave.
…
…
April 21st, late at night on Sunday …
Yu Pingan finally finished his day's work and said goodbye to Master Li.
Master Li raised his thumb and praised: "Not bad, young man, your efficiency has been getting higher and higher these days. I believe you can finish your apprenticeship soon! "
"I really didn't expect such a genteel person like you to be able to do this work. Your perseverance alone is commendable."
Yu Pingan shook his head with some shame: "Ai, no, Master Li, I'm still far behind you."
Master Li smiled: "Practice makes perfect. A lot of time is squeezed out by fumbling. The more urgent your desire for money, the faster the delivery will be."
"According to my observation, you should be a person who is not short of money. It's not easy to experience life at the grassroots level to this point."
Yu Pingan did not want to explain anything and nodded: "Thank you for your recent care, Master Li. I won't come tomorrow."
Yu Pingan was just a crowdsourced delivery man for Homestead Take-Out and was not a permanent establishment. Moreover, his current job was still at Fish-Catching Take-Out. He had to work normally from Monday to Friday. He could only take time off on Saturdays and Sundays to experience Homestead Take-Out.
Fish-Catching Take-Out's delivery staff had a five-day work schedule with two days off per week, not necessarily on the day of the week.
After all, Yu Pingan was going to the grassroots level to experience life, so he was taken care of a little in this regard and arranged for the rest to be on the weekend.
Yu Pingan rode the electric scooter back. He was still thinking about the hard work of the past two days when he suddenly looked up and met a familiar face.
"Eh, isn't this Teacher Wang?"
Yu Pingan stopped the electric scooter and asked the other party to stop the electric scooter as well.
Both of them were wearing Homestead Take-Out's delivery uniform. They looked at each other, feeling a bit like looking into a mirror.
Yu Pingan was a little surprised: "Teacher Wang, didn't you say before that you were going to write a paper on takeout? Then you are … "
Teacher Wang smiled: "I'm going to write a paper, and the paper is about to be written. Only after in-depth investigation can I have the right to speak. I deliver takeout during the day and write papers at night. "
Yu Pingan came to a realization. "I was saying that I would share with you after experiencing the life of a delivery staff and help you write a paper. I didn't expect you to do it yourself!"
Teacher Wang was a young lecturer at Handong University who taught sociology.
He was also a lecturer who worked with the app and Bunny Tail Live-Stream. He had very unique views on many social issues.
Teacher Wang took out his cell phone seeing that Yu Pingan was talking about the paper. "Look, my paper is almost done. This is the abstract of the paper."
Yu Pingan took the cell phone and saw that the title of the paper was' Labor Order under Digital Control '.
The subtitle cut into the direction of the paper: 'Research on Labor Control of Delivery Riders'.
From the abstract, this paper was a study of the labor process of delivery riders from the perspective of organizational technology and science and technology.
The platform company seemed to have given up on direct management of the riders, but in fact, it was to dilute the employer's responsibility. The conflict between labor and management was also transferred to the platform system and consumers.
Digital control had upgraded from physical machines and computer equipment to virtual software and data platform systems. By subtly collecting and analyzing basic data and reacting the data results to the riders, it made labor order possible.
Digital control not only weakened the riders' sense of resistance, but it also eroded their space to exert autonomy. It also made them unknowingly participate in their own management. As a result, the means of capital control had not only changed from autocracy to hegemony, but also from physical to virtual.
After reading the abstract briefly, Yu Pingan's first feeling was that it was very profound and difficult to understand.
However, he believed that if he carefully pondered this paper, he would be able to answer at least half of the confusion he was facing.
Yu Pingan had already seen the video that was sold outside the house.
He vaguely felt that this video seemed to have deliberately blurred some issues and caused some wrong guidance to the audience. However, Yu Pingan was not sure where the mistake was from the surface of the content of the video.
The words that the delivery man said, in particular, could really express the desire of grassroots practitioners to make money to the extreme.
Even Yu Pingan himself had some doubts. Could the Fish-Catching Take-Out model and the Homestay Take-Out model actually coexist?
The delivery men of Fish-Catching Take-Out were indeed much happier than those of the Homestay Take-Out. That was because their jobs were fully guaranteed. Their working hours and working environment were also relatively secure.
However, Fish-Catching Take-Out could not possibly take all the delivery men. What's more, this model could not be applied to all businesses.
The Shengyun Group had been suppressed by Upwind Logistics because the Shengyun Group had indeed aroused public anger.
Everyone knew that the Shengyun Group's face and table manners were too ugly.
It was the same for the Homestay Group's rental business. Since these two companies had more or less occupied the market, there was no need to restrain themselves.
However, the Homestay Take-Out was different. After all, it had not really occupied a dominant position. Many of its rules were still relatively more conscientious.
Some delivery men even had feelings for this platform. After all, delivering food on this platform was far more profitable than working in factories or construction sites.
Who would say no to money?
Under such circumstances, it was far from as simple as what Lu Mingliang had wanted to do to win the battle of public opinion.
The Homestay Take-Out had also seized this point to counterattack in public opinion.
It would be very difficult without some professional theoretical support at this time.
Yu Pingan might only be an ordinary delivery man, but he still had the mentality of a responsible person. He hoped from the bottom of his heart that Fish-Catching Take-Out could win.
Yu Pingan said to Teacher Wang, "Teacher Wang, after this paper is out, you must publish a column on Useful App. At the same time, go to Bunny Tail Live-Stream and give us a good lecture!"
Teacher Wang nodded. "Of course."
