At that time, Liu Qiangdong preached to the outside world that JD.com’s most powerful place in the future was its self-operated logistics system, and in Liu Qiangdong’s heart, the hundreds of thousands of brothers who operate logistics are the enterprises. The most precious treasure. In addition to these, Liu Qiangdong once said to JD.com courier No. 001 that as long as he works hard at JD.com, he can buy a house here within five years. Liu Qiangdong’s words were very inspiring, but times have changed, and the JD.com Express boy No. 001 did not buy a house. 1. Became a JD.com courier but did not buy a house.
For a long time, the models of JD.com and Alibaba have been debated. Perhaps with the changes of Alibaba, netizens will praise JD.com’s direct sales model even more. When it comes to JD.com’s direct sales model, JD.com’s own logistics system cannot be bypassed. Thinking back to those days, Liu Qiangdong had to develop Jingdong Logistics despite huge losses year after year under pressure.
Speaking of JD.com’s couriers, one has to think of Liu Qiangdong, the founder of JD.com. This famous grassroots entrepreneur has a legendary entrepreneurial experience. In his early years, Liu Qiangdong was born in a very poor rural area in Suqian City, Jiangsu Province. But the difficult conditions did not dampen Liu Qiangdong’s enthusiasm for studying.
After all, almost no one in that poor area had been admitted to a prestigious university, and Liu Qiangdong became the first person. But the cruel reality soon diluted the joy in the hearts of Liu Qiangdong and his family. At that time, Liu Qiangdong's family was too poor, and Liu Qiangdong was about to miss the opportunity to go to college because his family had no money.
Everyone was very poor at that time, so the villagers gave Liu Qiangdong a piece of land and two pieces of land for that family to raise tuition for Liu Qiangdong. Through the efforts of the villagers, more than 500 yuan in tuition fees were raised for Liu Qiangdong. Some villagers who really had no money saved eggs for Liu Qiangdong. In the end, Liu Qiangdong took the 500 yuan and more than 70 eggs collected by the villagers and embarked on the road to study in Beijing. Later, after Liu Qiangdong became successful, he not only gave back to the folks who had helped Liu Qiangdong, but also paid special attention to the employees at the bottom of the company.
Based on Liu Qiangdong’s poor background, Liu Qiangdong was also busy in college. During his studies, Liu Qiangdong earned income through various part-time jobs. After graduation, Liu Qiangdong did not look for a job like many graduates from prestigious schools, but embarked on the road of entrepreneurship.
The turning point in Liu Qiangdong’s career occurred in 2003. The SARS epidemic that swept across the country forced many people to stay at home. Liu Qiangdong, who was selling electronic products in Zhongguancun at the time, came up with the idea of ??selling goods online. And it was this forced change that became the reason why Liu Qiangdong founded JD.com.
In the early days of Liu Qiangdong’s e-commerce development, it was very shabby, and for a small store like Liu Qiangdong’s at that time, it was impossible to attract people to join him, especially the courier personnel who delivered goods, which was even more scarce. . At that time, a young man named Jin Yicai became the backbone of the few couriers around Liu Qiangdong.
At that time, Jin Yicai took on a large distribution area and paid a lot for JD.com’s early development. The boss Liu Qiangdong also admired and trusted Jin Yicai very much, and gave Jin Yicai his job number of JD Express 001. Therefore, Jin Yicai has also become one of the top couriers in the history of JD Logistics.
With the rapid development of JD.com, Jin Yicai’s work has become even more arduous. He is often busy from morning to night and is so tired that he cannot stand up straight. Doing the hardest and most tiring job, but feeling that the income was not very high, Jin Yicai also thought about leaving JD.com. On weekdays, Liu Qiangdong, who is more concerned about low-level employees, also noticed the changes in Jin Yicai, courier No. 001.
Later, Liu Qiangdong had a serious talk with Jin Yicai, and encouraged the courier No. 001 with JD.com’s bright future. Liu Qiangdong also told Jin Yicai that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to deliver goods in the future in five years. Within a year, you can buy a house in Beijing. Encouraged by Liu Qiangdong, Jin Yicai persisted.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and although the courier No. 001 was still working as a courier on JD.com, he did not buy a house as Liu Qiangdong said.
And how is Jin Yicai's development in JD.com? Why has JD.com grown from a small shop to a unicorn now, but why didn’t Jin Yicai buy a house? 2. Not buying a house, maybe Jin Yicai has other considerations.
From later interviews and reports in relevant media, we learned that the JD.com No. 001 courier did not buy a house in Beijing five years later. On the one hand, this situation may be due to the fact that housing prices in Beijing have risen too fast, obviously exceeding the rate of increase in courier wages, and the salary of courier No. 001 cannot bear the cost of buying a house.
According to the news from the media, although the courier still works for JD.com, he is no longer in Beijing. Instead, he went to Hangzhou to develop JD.com’s express delivery business. Judging from these circumstances, people who have not bought a house in Beijing after five years may have more other considerations in their hearts. 3. Whether to buy a house or not is a person’s choice.
Perhaps it is because Liu Qiangdong is too famous, or it may be because Liu Qiangdong has always been known for caring about grassroots couriers. Anyway, Liu Qiangdong told courier No. 001 that he would "buy a house after working for five years." This sentence has become a matter of great concern to netizens. But looking back, whether to buy a house or not is actually more of Jin Yicai's own business. Sometimes, you don’t have to buy a house, and you have to fulfill what Liu Qiangdong said back then, to be considered a real success.
Jin Yicai has been able to insist on working in JD.com for so many years. Even if he does not have a house, he still engages in the express delivery industry with full enthusiasm. This is enough to show that Jin Yicai chose another path of struggle that is unknown to outsiders, rather than in the form of "the success or failure of the house". But then again, whether to buy a house, when to buy a house, and where to buy a house, in the final analysis, it is only Jin Yicai who knows best, and it is also his own choice. 4. My personal opinion on this matter.
Chinese people have always had a tradition of living and working in peace and contentment. From ancient times to the present, houses have been the most important thing in many people's hearts. Even in modern times with such advanced social civilization, it seems that whether or not you have a house is also a measure of people's happiness index in life. an important criterion. A house is important, but having a house or not does not equate to success and happiness.
Life includes many aspects, including family happiness, work happiness, etc. Of course, JD.com employee No. 001 did not realize what Liu Qiangdong said at the time to buy a house in Beijing after working for five years. But it is undeniable that Jin Yicai's salary has been significantly increased. Moreover, in this process, Jin Yicai has grown from a basic delivery person to an experienced logistics talent. This will also be of great help to Jin Yicai for his future promotion. In addition, whether a person can achieve great success depends mainly on personal efforts and one's own abilities, in addition to the boss's promise.
At that time, Liu Qiangdong told Jin Yicai that he could buy a house in Beijing after working for five years. This was perhaps the best expectation. But later, this wish did not come true. In fact, there are many reasons for this. There are external reasons, such as the rapid rise in housing prices in Beijing, which may be far beyond the imagination of Liu Qiangdong and Jin Yicai. At the same time, there are also internal factors, that is, Liu Qiangdong may very much hope that in these five years, Jin Yicai will grow tremendously and transform into a pillar of JD.com's executive level. But it is obvious that Jin Yicai fell far short of Liu Qiangdong's expectations due to his limited abilities or other circumstances.
In short, JD.com’s courier No. 001 did not realize his long-cherished wish to buy a house in five years as Liu Qiangdong said. However, JD.com's courier No. 001 is still working at JD.com, which also shows that Jin Yicai is still very satisfied with JD.com, and is also satisfied with his income, treatment and other aspects.
Through JD.com Courier No. 001, regarding the matter of buying a house, perhaps netizens should understand that everyone has their own choices for life and career, and others use common thinking to evaluate others. The choice often leads to deviations.
