How difficult is it to be a leader in Shanghai?

From communicating the source of goods to order collection, collection and payment, documentary, collection and unloading, goods sorting, the last 100 meters of distribution and after-sales, the head needs to handle the whole closed loop. This was originally the work of several departments of the Internet company. Not forced by life, who is willing to force himself into an all-round leader?

Since April 1, Shanghai has been closed for 14 days. Some communities in Pudong and Puxi with serious epidemic situation were closed earlier, and the closure time was longer. Some communities are deeply trapped in the “7 + 7” cycle and can’t get out.

In previous spring, cherry blossoms were in full bloom in Shanghai. The sunshine and temperature were just right.

But the spring of 2022 is a spring wasted by the epidemic. From March to April, people spend most of their time at home except going out to do nucleic acid. They can only feel the spring through the window.

As the old saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. In today’s Shanghai, spring is less important than eating.

As time goes on, some extreme cases caused by lack of food are happening. Unfortunately, fortunately, there is such a group of people who are willing to lead people to think of ways to eat together. They are the legendary leaders.

Under their leadership, people not only buy rice, noodles, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in groups, but also occasionally get some coffee, cake and coke to add some seasoning to the depressed days.

Therefore, Duan Zishou said that now the most respected person in each community in Shanghai is the head of the group. Others said that after the end of the epidemic in Shanghai, it is necessary to make a film, also called “my head, my regiment”.

Head and group buying are not new. Before this wave of epidemic, with the community group purchase of Internet companies in the domestic horse racing enclosure, the head bloomed everywhere, and a large number of small shop owners or community activists and Baoma became the head one after another.

Among the leaders born under the Shanghai epidemic, many of their original occupations have nothing to do with group buying and e-commerce. This article focuses on this group.

We found that in Shanghai under the epidemic, it is not easy for these people to be leaders. The team leader needs to complete the whole closed loop from source communication to order collection, receipt and payment, receipt, sorting, final 100m distribution, after-sales and so on. In Internet companies, this is usually accomplished through the cooperation of several departments. Therefore, they are different from the heads of Internet companies.

Just like a leader joked that if life is not forced, who is willing to force himself into an all-round leader?

Specifically, how do they do group buying? After the epidemic, do they have any interest in continuing to be leaders?

The following is the sharing of five Shanghai leaders. You might as well feel it together.

Hefeng: Internet company PR, coordinate Xuhui District

Our building is an earlier commercial house with only six floors and no elevator. There are 12 households in total, one of which is uninhabited.

It seems that only my roommate and I are tenants, others are self occupied, and the majority of residents are the elderly.

Because we are tenants, we usually don’t have much contact with our neighbors. The head of our building built a group because he had to send some notices.

One day, an old man in the group suddenly asked: is there a place to buy vegetables? There is no food at home.

Before, our community sent dishes once, but that was a long time ago, not enough.

I saw someone share the channels of buying vegetables on the Internet before, but each 15 kg, 20 copies from free.

I didn’t dare to mention it at first, because I bought 15 kilograms of vegetables at once, which may break down if I can’t finish eating. I’m also worried about irregular channels.

Seeing someone say they can’t eat, I think I’ll try. As a result, everyone responded very well. Some people say that if he can’t get together, he will buy two; Someone also recommended the neighbor of the next building.

That’s all 20. I put the money in advance, and everyone quickly transferred the money.

After placing the order, I was also very nervous. I was worried that someone would complain if I couldn’t deliver the goods on time; Or, what if the community suddenly starts cooking again and someone returns the bill?

So I made the groundwork in the group first, which probably means that we are foreign tenants. We just want to do something for the elderly.

Everyone expressed understanding and believed in us.

After placing the order, I have been staring at the delivery. They delivered the goods on the third day. But on the third day, we closed the door here, and worried about how to receive the goods?

In fact, after placing an order, I contacted the property. The property asked me to contact the neighborhood committee, and I sent information to the neighborhood committee for filing, but they may be too busy and haven’t returned to me.

The dishes arrived on Monday morning. My father carried a piece of food downstairs.

Less than ten meters from our building to the gate of the community, the security guard just won’t let us out. He asked: have you reported to the neighborhood committee? I said I did, but I didn’t reply. He said: No, you can’t go out. I actually understand his duty.

The driver unloaded the goods at the door of the community first. The security guard killed us all and sprayed the vegetables. Finally, he only allowed us to pick up the food alone. We sent a man and pulled him back in a tricycle.

The boy was responsible for delivering the food to the next building. My roommate and I sprayed the food with alcohol again and sent it to every family in our building.

Fortunately, the food was good and didn’t happen as I feared before.

After that, I made a reply with my roommate. If we are to be a leader again, we must first find a suitable source of goods; Secondly, the participants should focus on our building, and ask other buildings if they can’t reach the delivery volume.

In addition, we should first determine the order quantity before opening the group. For example, my group has only 100 orders, so we can cut off the order after grabbing it. We don’t have to wait for this and that to add orders, which will be very chaotic; Then wait for a group to be delivered before opening a new group.

But whether we want to continue to be the leader depends on whether the time outside our work is allowed.

The quality of Shanghai residents is still very high. But I heard that there have been unpleasant incidents in our community.

The head is actually a non professional person who took the lead in a group purchase temporarily. From finding the source of goods to the final distribution is a complete supply chain. In the company, this is the business of several departments, and now it is all on the head alone. People who haven’t done it really don’t know how difficult it is.

However, this group purchase of vegetables, I feel quite a sense of achievement. The neighbors in the building are good. Before, everyone had their own life. This time, I suddenly found that the feelings between neighbors have improved. It’s a rare experience for everyone to work together and help each other.
