Liu Qiangdong speaks out on the issue of rider welfare
On March 21, JD.com founder Liu Qiangdong said in his WeChat Moments that last year was the most fulfilling time in his 20 years of entrepreneurship, because more than 1,200 couriers retired and could withdraw hundreds of thousands of yuan in housing provident funds at one time, with full coverage of pensions and medical insurance. Liu Qiangdong also said, "The knowledge, business models, and technical algorithms we have learned should not be used to exploit the brothers at the bottom of society! Our profits, market value, and wealth should not be built on the insecure lives of the lower-class people!" He called on all couriers and riders to receive five insurances and one housing fund, because the profits and market value of several major platforms in China today can fully support it.

Liu Qiangdong increases stake in Harvest JD Warehousing Infrastructure REIT
On December 27, Harvest JD Warehousing Infrastructure REIT issued an announcement that JD Group founder Liu Qiangdong intends to increase holdings in the secondary market by no more than 100 million yuan. According to statistics, the average daily turnover of the fund in the last 30 trading days was about 10.24 million yuan, and some trading days were even only 3 to 4 million yuan. Therefore, the aforementioned 100 million yuan increase in holdings undoubtedly has a certain support effect on the trading price in the secondary market. In addition, as the market continues to bottom out, many funds such as Huaxia Hefei High-tech Innovation Industrial Park REIT and Huaan Bailian Consumer REIT have officially announced the increase in holdings by the original equity holders in the secondary market.
