Before the Chinese New Year, Vipshop had 36 employees, nine of whom worked for the Alipay project. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Fan Xingchen felt that after the successful launch of Alipay's research and development, it would be impossible to make a profit for a long time, and there would be no income for a period of time at the beginning, in order to avoid trouble, he decided to let the employees who wrote the Alipay system sign a contract with Vipshop first, and then let these employees switch to Alipay in the future.

As of January 10, 2004, the Vipshop website had been online for two months, and during this time, the sales volume of the website reached 5,276,426.5 million yuan.

The website sold more than five million goods, but one did not earn, but lost nearly three million, if the layman sees these two data, he will feel that this boss is too bad to do business, but Fan Xingchen does not feel that he is doing a loss-making business, he wants to make the Vipshop website grow and grow, he needs to keep burning money.

In order to buy computers for employees, as well as to buy office equipment, Fan Xingchen can spend a lot of money, and the company needs office space, renting an office costs money, and paying half a year's rent at a time.

At the beginning, Vipshop as a newly established company, few suppliers are willing to give it credit, Vipshop wants to buy goods, need to pay for the goods immediately, under normal circumstances, after the merchant unloads the delivery gate, Vipshop needs to pay immediately.

After more than two months of operation, Vipshop has gradually grown, and some suppliers are willing to give credit to them.

Vipshop's employees have a Spring Festival holiday from January 18 (the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month) to January 30 (the ninth day of the first lunar month), a full thirteen days, most of the employees have thirteen days of holiday to enjoy, and a small number of employees have to work overtime, during the overtime, the salary is tripled, and when the company is not busy, these overtime employees can also take paid leave for 13 days.

Before the Chinese New Year, after Fan Xingchen announced the benefits of overtime in front of the employees of the whole company, many employees were moved, originally earning 100 yuan a day, during overtime, they could earn 300 yuan a day, and they could also take paid leave for 13 days, which is not something that ordinary companies can provide.

Fan Xingchen didn't want too many employees to stay overtime during the Spring Festival, he felt that it was not necessary, and after some selection, only a few employees who were suitable for overtime were left.

In his last life, Fan Xingchen did not open a company, only did the business of selling mandarin oranges, did not manage a few people, for the company's management, he has no experience, in order to let employees have a good year, he wanted to pay employees before the New Year, and also sent the year-end bonus.

After Li Qi learned of Fan Xingchen's idea, he gave professional advice, the salary can be paid, but the year-end bonus can not be given, and clearly told the employees that the employees who will not come to work next year will not have a year-end bonus, and the year-end bonus is a fixed total, which is divided into the remaining employees, and the fewer people left, the more bonuses.

Although Fan Xingchen withheld employees' year-end bonuses, he still did not stop some employees from thinking of changing jobs.

Of the 36 employees in the first 36 years, only 30 came to work after the Spring Festival holiday, and 6 people changed jobs, with a job-hopping rate of more than 16%.

Two people took the initiative to call Fan Xingchen, saying that they were going to change jobs, and the other four people did not take the initiative to call, on the afternoon of the tenth day of the first lunar month, Fan Xingchen called these four people, and the three people got through, and they all indicated that they no longer went to work in Vipshop, and the other person was not in touch and lost contact.

Later, Vipshop's employees contacted the missing employee on the Internet and determined that the other party had just resigned and quit, not an accident.

On the morning of February 1, after Fan Xingchen had breakfast at home, he chatted with Li Qi for a while.

While chatting, Fan Xingchen's mobile phone rang.

Fan Xingchen picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table and looked at it, and said to Li Qi: "It's a call from my cousin." ”

"I guess he urged you to go out. You answer the phone. ”

Fan Xingchen answered the phone and said, "Cousin, Qiqi and I are ready to go out." How's your preparation?"

Zhao Yuanhong smiled and said: "I was ready for a long time, seeing that you don't contact me, I will take the initiative to call you." ”

Fan Xingchen said lightly: "Then you can wait for me at the gate of the community later, and Qiqi and I will go over immediately." ”

"Okay. Zhao Yuanhong responded, "I'll go out immediately, you move quickly, the road is blocked, and you won't be able to catch the train." ”

"Don't worry, there won't be a traffic jam at this point, I'll hang up, and we'll talk when we meet." ”

After speaking, Fan Xingchen hung up the phone.

Li Qi, who was holding the car keys in his hand, stood up and said with a smile: "Don't rub it off, take your luggage and go out." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the bathroom. ”

More than ten minutes later, Fan Xingchen drove Li Qi to the gate of the community rented by Zhao Yuanhong.

"Giggles!" Zhao Yuanhong approached the car and knocked on the driver's window, "Xingchen, you and Qiqi get out of the car, sit in the back of the car, and I'll drive." ”

"Cousin, no need, you put your luggage in the trunk of the car first, and get in the car. ”

"That's so embarrassing. Zhao Yuanhong smiled, walked to the back of the car with the suitcase, opened the trunk, put it in, and turned around and sat in the car.

"Cousin, buckle up, I'm going to drive. Fan Xingchen turned his head to look at Zhao Yuanhong and said.

Zhao Yuanhong said while fastening his seat belt: "Let the boss drive, let the boss sit in the passenger seat......"

"Stop. Fan Xingchen smiled and shook his head, "Cousin, I found that since I opened the Thunderbolt Express Company, you have become separated from me. ”

"Is there one?" Zhao Yuanhong smiled, "If I really have a relationship with you, then I, as an employee, don't dare to sit in the back of the car." Don't talk about it, you can drive, let me enjoy the feeling of being a boss too......"

At about six o'clock in the afternoon of this day, Fan Xingchen and Zhao Yuanhong took the train back to their hometown ZX and got off the train, it was already dark.

After getting off the train, Zhao Yuanhong dragged his suitcase and walked a few steps and said, "Xingchen, you can call my aunt." ”

"Okay!"

Fan Xingchen stopped, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, dialed the phone number of his aunt's house, the person who answered the phone was his brother-in-law, chatted a few words, and told his brother-in-law the news that he and Zhao Yuanhong had just gotten off the train.
