Running hard to ＂flash＂ or lack of ＂accumulation＂
Master Wang found a job as a "flash delivery" takeaway, saying that the site had promised to earn two or three hundred dollars a day. He ran hard for two days and found that he could not reach it at all. The webmaster of the site said that this job still needs some accumulation.
Master Wang, a native of Hebei, said that he had been in Shenzhen and Shanghai before, and had worked as a takeaway and a little errand boy. Not long ago, he found a job as a delivery clerk in Hangzhou.
Master Wang: He told me that it’s easy to earn two or three hundred dollars a day, three or four hundred dollars, and I think it’s ok considering the daily settlement, considering that the cost is relatively high because of renting a house and eating.
Master Wang said that the rent was 1,000 yuan a month, and he wanted to settle down early, so he sent it to Shenhua Station in West Lake, Hangzhou, signed a delivery agreement and paid two fees.
One is the deposit, rent and anti-theft insurance of electric bicycles, totaling about 1000 yuan, and the other is take-away boxes, ponchos, vests and helmets, totaling 350 yuan.
Master Wang: As a result, I ran hard, running from 8: 00 in the morning to 8: 00 in the evening. In this way, I earned more than 100 yuan a day, so I won’t talk about the single quantity, because the unit price of the list is high or low.
Reporter: How many days have you been running now?
Master Wang: Actually, I didn’t run yesterday. I asked them for a theory yesterday. In fact, I ran for two days, and I earned more than 80 yuan the next day.
Master Wang calculated that if you earn more than 100 yuan in one day, even the most basic expenses are not enough.
Master Wang: This electric car (rent) costs 20 yuan a day in 600 yuan, and renting a house costs more than 1,000 yuan a month, and you have to eat every day. More than 100 yuan is equivalent to not making money.
Master Wang said that he had delivered takeout on other platforms before, and there were more than 200 yuan a day. After two days of express delivery, he felt that the main problem was that the order quantity was too small, not that he didn’t want to run, but that he couldn’t receive the order.
Master Wang: There are many people, and the site recruits people every day. In the second group of the site, I saw 137 people yesterday, and there must be another group. At the same time, if there are many people in a cake, many people will grab the cake and will definitely get a little less.
Wei, the stationmaster who showed off the Shenhua Station in West Lake, Hangzhou, said that the main ways to take orders were platform delivery and riders grabbing orders. Before that, there were more than 1,000 people on one site, but now there are only more than 600, so there is no such thing as more people and fewer orders.
Webmaster Wei, Shenhua Station, West Lake, Hangzhou: It is certainly unrealistic for you to want to make money in any industry just after a day or two of contact. This thing takes time to accumulate. First of all, you are unfamiliar with the journey and how to take orders. If you want to come up, you can compete with the old rider. There is also a peak and a grade. The higher the grade, the more money you will definitely earn.
Webmaster Wei of Shenhua Station in West Lake, Hangzhou: I delivered takeout food when I was hungry in 2019. On my first day of employment, I ran from 9: 00 am to 11: 00 pm. I ran 20 orders and earned 120 yuan. After I worked for a month, I only ran the afternoon peak and the evening peak, and I also earned 300 yuan a day. Just like this photographer’s big brother, will he be allowed to take pictures on the first day of touching the camera? The camera can’t even hold steady.
Webmaster Wei said that some orders from other take-away platforms will also be sent to flash. He has also sent other riders’ running orders to Master Wang before. Some riders run more than 20 orders a day, and when they have more, they serve for more than ten hours a day. Master Wang earned more than 100 yuan and ran nine orders that day.
Therefore, he believes that it is normal for some experienced riders to run two or three hundred or three or four hundred dollars a day.
Master Wang: The problem is that you can’t get the order. It doesn’t mean that you stayed out for 24 hours and 48 hours, but your order didn’t exist.
Webmaster Wei: No, you don’t have enough to eat. Can you blame the chef?
Webmaster Wei said that they had summarized how to improve the level of riders and how to grab tickets, and he also sent these experiences to Master Wang. He feels that Master Wang is relatively unfamiliar now, and this job still needs time to accumulate.
Webmaster Wei: The advantage of our team is that we were taught when we first joined the company.
Reporter: You sent him the experience of grabbing orders. Can I take a picture of it?
Webmaster Wei: That’s confidential, because this thing is all summed up by some old riders in two or three years, and I asked them for it.
Master Wang said that at present, the site has cancelled his flash rider account, and he hopes to return the money for the car and equipment. Webmaster Wei said that the money for rent, insurance and equipment had been given to other suppliers and could not be refunded.
Master Wang did not approve and reported the situation to the 12345 hotline. Later, he gave feedback, and the labor department contacted him. He proposed an equipment return plan, and the labor department said that it would coordinate.
