　　Yesterday at 14:30, at the initiative of Andy Lau, the 8-hour non-stop charity show "May 12 Care Action in the Performing Arts Industry" initiated by the Hong Kong Performing Artists Association was held at Central World, West Kowloon, Hong Kong. The show was the largest charity performance in Hong Kong’s history. Hong Kong artists came out in full force, Jackie Chan, Chow Xingchi, Andy Lau, Jacky Cheung, Alan Tam, Liming, etc.; the mainland also went to Zhang Guoli, Zhou Xun, Sun Nan and other big names to cheer; Taiwanese artists Cai Qin, Zhang Xinzhe, Liu Ruoying, etc. were not to be left behind. A total of more than 500 people from the performing arts industry participated in the charity show.

　　In the end, the charity show raised more than 31.80 million Hong Kong dollars, and the Hong Kong entertainment industry, known as a mess of sand, became united. Advocate Andy Lau knelt down to all the artists on the stage at the end and thanked everyone for their support. "Sichuan, come on! China, come on!" The cry has been floating in the sky over Hong Kong. All Hong Kong people promise to be with the people of Sichuan and help the people of Sichuan rebuild their homeland.

　　Artists sing "Promise" in unison

　　As an important event of the "May 12 Action for the Performing Arts", yesterday’s charity show gathered hundreds of artists from the mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan for a marathon performance to help raise funds for disaster relief. The show was co-hosted by Cheng Yuling, Zeng Zhiwei, Wu Xiaoli, Zhang Guoli and others. At 14:28, the Hong Kong performing arts charity show officially opened, and all the artists observed a minute of silence. At 14:30, the performance kicked off with the voice of all the artists "Sichuan, come on! China, come on!" The artists sang the theme song of the show – "Promise".

　　"… Everyone will have fear. Facing the dark corner, I will not hide for you no matter how hard it is. I want you to regain your original life, and I have confirmed the promise of this lifetime." At the scene, every artist wore a black T-shirt with the word "No" on the T-shirt. The artists swore on the spot: "We promise to work together to fight the disaster and save Sichuan!" "This is a promise. We Hong Kong people promise that no matter what happens to you, we will never give up and support you!"

　　Jackie Chan Andy Lau talks about the disaster area

　　In the face of the disaster, Chinese people all over the world have given great love, and everyone in the entertainment industry has also contributed money. Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau and others also went to the disaster area to deliver supplies to the affected people and cheer them on. Yesterday, Jackie Chan and Andy Lau told the audience about their experiences in the disaster area. Jackie Chan said: "I arrived in the disaster area the next day. I saw trolleys, rickshaws and bicycles delivering supplies to the disaster area. I was very touched. When I arrived in London, I saw that both international students and foreigners were lining up to donate, which also touched me. Everyone offered a helping hand, so I believe that as long as we work hard, we can overcome all difficulties."

　　Andy added: "I went there a few days ago, and when we arrived at the disaster area, they said to me, ‘It’s dangerous here, you go back’. In times of danger, they think of our safety, and I think this love is a big love. I was shocked by everything in the disaster area, and they faced it calmly. In their eyes, I saw persistence and their determination to build a better home."

　　On November 10, the State Food and Drug Administration issued the "Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Food Safety in Online Catering Services", which will take effect from January 1, 2018. This "method" has attracted widespread attention in the society as early as during the consultation period. The reason is that the food takeaway market is getting bigger and bigger, food safety issues are becoming more and more prominent, and new business models continue to challenge supervision. Therefore, many people have high hopes for this "method". However, some "small moves" in the market are already challenging this "method".

　　Our reporter, Zhao Li

　　At seven o’clock in the evening, it was time for Hu Ling, who was still working overtime. For more than half a year, Hu Ling’s takeout was basically "contracted" by the family-shared kitchen app "Go Home for Dinner".

　　Hu Ling, who works at an Internet company in Beijing, often works overtime to order takeout. However, a recent piece of news has caused Hu Ling to worry that his newly developed eating habits may be affected.

　　"I heard that the new regulations on online catering will be implemented next year, requiring online takeout to have a physical store and a food business license," Hu Ling said. "As far as I know, most of the family-shared kitchens are done by some unemployed people part-time, so it is impossible to meet these two conditions. This requirement of the new regulations will have some impact on the family-shared kitchen takeaway model."

　　The new rule, which Mr. Hu was referring to, is the "Measures for the Supervision and Administration of Food Safety in Online Catering Services" issued by the State Food and Drug Administration on November 10, which stipulates that online catering service providers should have physical stores and obtain food business licenses according to law, and must not operate beyond the scope. The "Measures" will take effect on January 1, 2018.

　　Hu Ling admitted that such regulations will definitely purify the online takeaway industry, which is good for consumer rights and food safety protection. "Previously, the media often reported news of some online takeaway black workshops, and the safety issues of online takeout were exposed during the" 3.15 "period last year. This regulation is a good thing in the field of food safety."

　　However, an investigation by a reporter from Legal Daily found that the emergence of online catering "agency settlement" services may reduce the positive significance of the new regulations.

　　Most consumers care about "physical stores"

　　At every meal, in the office building where Hu Ling works, the delivery staff of various platforms hurriedly shuttle between different floors with various food boxes. At this time, the elevator of the office building also becomes a "battlefield" between the staff who go downstairs to eat and the delivery staff.

　　Not long ago, Hu Ling and colleagues ate at a pizzeria. It was dinner time, but the restaurant surrounded by various office buildings had no other customers except them. Within 15 minutes of Hu Ling’s order, four or five takeaways came to pick up the food, and Hu Ling and the others who ate at the pizzeria were lined up after these takeaway orders.

　　"I’ll order takeout next time." This unpleasant experience made Hu Ling even more determined to order takeout.

　　Unlike Hu Ling, who was forced to choose, Qian Hao, 30, is a true takeaway enthusiast.

　　Safe, hygienic, edible and deliverable are all Qian Hao’s criteria for takeout. It is needless to say that he orders takeout at work and almost never cooks at home. Qian Hao relies more and more on takeout. "To be honest, I probably see the delivery staff more often than I see my friends."

　　However, while food delivery brings convenience to life, new problems are also becoming increasingly prominent.

　　The question of whether food delivery platforms can ensure food safety has worried consumers. In 2016, CCTV’s "3.15" evening exposed the existence of "black workshops" and a large number of management loopholes in food delivery platforms.

　　On these issues, Qian Hao said: "Although my attitude towards food is relatively casual, I am very concerned about safety and hygiene. After all, it is to be eaten in the stomach, so the takeaway stores I often order are those that I have confirmed have brick and mortar stores."

　　Speaking of brick and mortar stores, consumers also have something to say.

　　Chen Qing, a first-year graduate student at a Beijing university, once heard classmates mention that "some takeaway merchants just temporarily form a’small workshop ‘in their own homes and mass-produce takeaway food every day." Chen Qing felt that this "physical" form has no security guarantees, "but she does not deliberately avoid it when ordering food."

　　Like Qian Hao, Gong Qi, 25, works for an Internet company in Beijing, and ordering takeout has become an indispensable part of his life.

　　When ordering takeout, Gong Qi prefers to choose those who "have eaten in the brick and mortar store in person". "There are two reasons, one is that you will have a better understanding of the taste of the food, and the other is that you feel that the physical store is relatively more hygienic and safe."

　　In the field survey of Legal Daily reporters, 65% of respondents believed that having a physical store means more hygiene and safety.

　　However, there are also consumers who hold different views on "physical stores".

　　Ma Yuan, from Cixi, Zhejiang province, believes that merchants without "physical stores" also have their own advantages. "From the consumer’s perspective, takeaway merchants without physical stores tend to have lower prices and faster food delivery. From the store’s perspective, the operating costs are also much lower than those of physical stores."

　　Liu Hongyi, a 35-year-old branch owner of a Beijing-based restaurant chain, was happy to see the new regulations on online dining.

　　"If you allow a large number of’small family workshops’ to provide takeout, it will inevitably lead to unfair competition." Liu Hongyi said that it is difficult for brick-and-mortar stores to win the competition with "small workshops" due to operating costs. "Small workshops will also compete with each other, and in order to keep prices down, they will naturally sacrifice the quality of food."

　　Mr. Liu told reporters that competition in the takeout industry can be seen to some extent as "the networking of real competition", "but in the final analysis, everyone is comparing the quality of food."

　　"Agent Settlement Service" has appeared

　　A reporter from Legal Daily investigated and found that there are already "countermeasures" on the market for the "measures" on physical stores.

　　Reporters found that on some e-commerce platforms and information intermediary platforms, many merchants have launched "takeaway agency" services, and even on social platforms such as Weibo and WeChat or some question-and-answer platforms, some people claim to help takeaway operators without brick and mortar stores handle takeaway platform matters.

　　The reporter interviewed some merchants who provide agency services and learned that most agency service providers say they can take advantage of poor information and related loopholes to help some merchants, especially those operating without a license, enter the takeaway platform.

　　Reporters found that these agency service providers have a wide range of "services" and have operations all over the country. "National agency Meituan takeaway Ele.me word-of-mouth glutinous rice group buying…" A WeChat agency nicknamed "takeaway agency" wrote in Moments.

　　In addition, the agency service provider that placed an advertisement on a search platform also guaranteed that the ability to handle the goods will not be successful in refunding. "You can make absolutely delicious taste, and the taste is very good, but how to open a takeaway store is a more complicated thing, and the process and requirements of opening a takeaway store are very strict, not to mention wanting to do takeout without a business license. Now, we have also got a solution to this problem, so that everyone who sincerely wants to open a takeaway can have their own store." The above-mentioned agency service provider said, "First of all, there is a relatively big problem is the ghost store that you may have heard of before, and the problem of closing the store. Our analysis is that’great value and low price must be a lie, and the probability of being closed must be 100%. The other part is to change the store information and lend it to you for a few days and then take it back. Some are simply cheating deposits. These are all things we need to avoid when opening a store. A few hundred yuan to open a store must not be a regular channel. I also remind you to pay attention to this problem."

　　An agency service provider who claimed to be an industry insider told Legal Daily that if you sincerely want to do takeout and the hygiene conditions are hygienic enough, you can have special channels to open a takeaway store. "You don’t need a business license, you don’t need a store, as long as you really want to make money and want to open a store, you can open a store. According to the designated address and the designated store name, you only need to provide some basic information, and you can generally go online successfully in one to five days."

　　How to do it? The reporter also contacted the agent service provider nicknamed "takeaway agency" on WeChat. "By entering the takeaway platform through the agent, it only costs 1,000 to 1,500 yuan, and merchants can avoid cumbersome procedures and strict entry standards, and easily carry out the increasingly popular takeaway business" – this is the advertisement of the agent service provider.

　　What should I do if I don’t have a business license? "Takeaway Agent" Reply: If an unlicensed merchant wants to open a store on the takeaway platform, they only need to provide the agent with the store name, store photo, personal ID card and handheld ID photo, bank account and other information, and mobile phone number.

　　What should I do if I don’t have an actual store and just operate it at home? The "takeaway agent" replied: It doesn’t matter as long as it is on the first floor of the community, "if it is not on the first floor, it will be offline by the platform".

　　Will such an operation not be discovered by the regulatory authorities? Will it be investigated? "The takeaway agency" said with certainty, "no one will come to investigate".

　　The reporter found that although these agency service providers advertise their business on the Internet, they charge through micro-stores or Taobao stores.

　　In the WeChat Moments of an agency service provider, the reporter found that some merchants did not pay the price after entering the platform, and their business information and personal information were directly published in the circle of friends of the agency service provider, accompanied by a sentence – "This person is operating without a license, everyone should report him".

1905 movie network feature April 7, 2024 is my 70th birthday.In a blink of an eye, the kung fu superstars who grew up with several generations have also entered their infancy.

Not long ago, Jackie Chan’s appearance at an event triggered a heated debate on the whole network.A head of silver hair, gray beard, let countless fans sigh that the years are not forgiving.

But after learning about it, I found that this look was necessary for the filming of the new play "Strange Family".Jackie Chan will play an elderly man with Alzheimer’s disease in it.

Some netizens posted a Reuters video shot by "Strange Family", showing that 70-year-old Jackie Chan is still filming.Hearing the cheers of the onlookers, he also showed his trademark smile and waved in response.

"Big brother is still that big brother"!

This new film is just one of more than a dozen works on Jackie Chan’s to-be/to-be-shown list.At the age of 70, he still maintains a strong creative passion and a pure heart for movies.Except for Jackie Chan, few people can do it.

After 61 years of debut, he has produced more than 200 works, becoming the first Chinese to win the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement.Everyone knowsJackie ChanIt has long been the first Chinese film to shine in the worldA business card.

How influential Jackie Chan really is, let’s take a look at what 10 Chinese and foreign superstars see in his eyes.You know why: there is only one Jackie Chan in the world!

From studying at the age of 8 to becoming an international superstar, brother Hung Jinbao is a witness to Jackie Chan’s path to acting.Jackie Chan once said: "Others call me big brother, but I call him big brother."

Others talk about Jackie Chan always talking about hard work and achievement, while Samuel Hung is always concerned about his health and well-being.

"It’s really not easy to debut for 60 years and be so successful, but the most important thing is to be healthy, come when you can, and don’t force it if you can’t."

When asked recently what he thought of Jackie Chan’s "old state", he also responded domineering: "Who is not old? Everyone will be old! He is so happy and healthy, isn’t that okay?"

"Double Monday Cheng" jointly witnessed the golden age of Hong Kong cinema, and Chow Yun-fat also bluntly said that Jackie Chan was his idol:

"Jackie Chan is not only my idol, but also the idol of the whole world."

"Because he represents not only Hong Kong, but also the hard-working spirit of the Chinese people. With this hard-working spirit, he let people all over the world know Jackie Chan’s name."

As one of the winners of Jackie Chan’s Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, Michelle Yeoh recalls the past of working with Jackie Chan in the 1990s, which is still vivid in her mind.

"Jackie Chan seems to have unlocked the secret of everlasting youth, and he is still as honest, funny and thoughtful as he was when I first met him 30 years ago. Although time has moved forward, he has never changed."

In order to give action filmmakers the recognition and respect they deserve, Jackie Chan founded the International Action Film Week in 2015, and the first Best Action Actor was awarded to starring Wu Jing.

In his acceptance speech, Wu Jing emotionally recounted the significance of Jackie Chan to every action filmmaker.

"Action movies are about conveying emotions to the audience through action. Jackie Chan is a master in this regard. I am still imitating it. Big brother jumps more buildings than I walk."

"I will remember Big Brother’s words: the life of an action actor is short, so be an actor who can fight."

Supporting newcomers is what Jackie Chan insists on doing. He has more than once called Nicholas Tse his successor, for which the latter has always been grateful:

"When I was young, I was a fan of Jackie Chan. When I grew up, I was lucky enough to have Jackie Chan make a cameo in my first action movie. In the end, it was because of him that he achieved a good box office.

He always says that he wants to help the younger generation and give young people opportunities, which is very rare in this circle. "

From China to Hollywood, Jackie Chan has had a profound impact on a large number of filmmakers with his classic films.

Quentin is one of them. In 1995, Quentin Tarantino was invited to present Jackie Chan with the MTV Lifetime Achievement Award, and in the award speech he was generous with praise: "Jackie Chan is my hero forever" and "the greatest actor in the history of film".

"When you see a Jackie Chan movie, you want to be him. He’s the best filmmaker in the world and the best action comedian since talkie."

Like Jackie Chan, Tom Cruise is also known in the circle as "Desperate Saburo". His obsession with difficult action dramas also makes him cherish Jackie Chan heroes.

"His action movies are unparalleled, and he himself is unique."

"I have a lot of admiration for what he does, and I have something in common with him. We both want to give the audience a unique experience, and we all want to do our best for the audience."

In 2022, Brad Pitt made his first foray into action comedy. In an interview, he revealed that he has always been a huge fan of Jackie Chan, and the film was also deeply influenced by him.

"I’ve always been a huge fan of Jackie Chan, and the director and I have been talking about him for the past decade or so.

He is just like a contemporary, he is really talented, and can even be said to be a genius who is far underestimated. "

Stallone

Hollywood action star Stallone is Jackie Chan’s friend. Having starred in a large number of action classics, he is also amazed by Jackie Chan’s hard work and dedication.

"I think Jackie Chan’s movie is the ultimate stuntman can do, it’s unbelievable, even if he gets hurt, he has to give everything."

"He’s really a master. He paid a great price, and that’s why his work can become a classic."

Zhang Yimou, an internationally renowned Chinese filmmaker, has never had a film collaboration with Jackie Chan, but his brief encounter at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics was enough to impress him.

"At the closing ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games, Jackie Chan was invited to sing a song, and he came to every rehearsal. The kind of rehearsal in the Olympic Games, thousands of people waited for a long time and only appeared for three minutes, but he worked hard on the stage and rehearsed with other actors. That’s how he did everything seriously to influence the people around him."

In 2005, Jackie Chan and Zhang Yimou won the Shanghai Film Festival Chinese Film Outstanding Contribution Award

"He is very dedicated at work, and his love for environmental protection, charity, and everything in life is still influencing a new generation of young people."

"There is only one Jackie Chan in the world, and it cannot be repeated. He is the pride of our Chinese people."

Indeed, whether in terms of popularity, influence or the classic degree of the work, Jackie Chan is a unique presence among Chinese filmmakers.

In an era when technology and equipment lagged far behind Hollywood, Jackie Chan made a name for himself with his unique style of action and dedication.

Not only the above-mentioned few, Schwarzenegger,,,, and other well-known movie stars have publicly expressed their admiration and love for Jackie Chan.

"Long’s Comedy" leads the trend of action movies around the world, and the family class he trains has become a mainstay of the industry.

In Hollywood movies, Jackie Chan refuses to play a Facebook character or villain, hoping to use his work to change prejudice and show the world the positive side of Chinese sunshine.

In his life, he has always been full of positive energy, adhering to environmental protection and public welfare undertakings for decades, and giving back the support and love of global audiences with actions.

In the face of age, Jackie Chan once said frankly, Of course I can retire, but making movies is interesting, and I want to make more movies.

"As long as I can still play and do it, I will definitely hope to make a movie for the audience every year!"

There is a line to the theme song of "Police Story" that goes like this: "Bet your life and leave a heroic story."

For Jackie Chan, the age of 70 is just the beginning of the next story.

For those of us who grew up watching Jackie Chan movies, we can still see how fortunate Jackie Chan’s new works are, as if our youth has never aged.

In the coming days, let’s look forward to the world’s only Jackie Chan, continuing the unique legend!

　　The sudden entry of the "giant" broke the development rhythm of the entire community group buying track, and the rules of the game changed accordingly. The industry changed from "fighting for innovation", "fighting for execution" to "fighting for capital" and "fighting for subsidies". It is not surprising that Tongcheng Life has embarked on an inverted "V" shaped trajectory from rise to fall.

　　The "giants" are still rolling in the track of community group buying, but the start-up company that started first was "easily" crushed. On the morning of July 7, the community group buying platform Tongcheng Life (now renamed Honey Orange Life) officially declared bankruptcy. According to reporters, its founder, chairperson and CEO He Pengyu was still in talks with suppliers that night. During the meeting for more than 4 hours, he cried several times and promised to try his best to pay off the debt, but he was unable to recover.

　　On the community group buying track, Tongcheng Life is not the first company to declare bankruptcy, but because of its high reputation, its bankruptcy was called "the first case of community group buying bankruptcy" by the media, causing industry shock.

　　Why did Tongcheng Life "die suddenly"? What is the situation of community group buying now? The reporter interviewed some people familiar with the matter.

　　Shift from innovation to subsidies

　　The usual cause of company bankruptcies is poor management, but Tongcheng Life, which was established in January 2018 and belongs to Suzhou Fresh Orange Technology Co., Ltd., is obviously not one of them. The inverted "V" trajectory of Tongcheng Life from rise to rapid "fall" can be clearly seen in the internal letter sent by He Pengyu to employees and suppliers. According to He Pengyu’s open letter, in only about a year and a half, "Tongcheng Life has achieved the front-end performance of the contract and entered a healthy development stage."

　　At that time, Tongcheng Life was still a star on the community group buying track, which was recognized by many investment institutions. According to reports, Tongcheng Life received 4 rounds of financing in a row in 2019, ranging from tens of millions of yuan to 100 million US dollars. In June 2020, Tongcheng Life announced the completion of 200 million US dollars C round of financing. According to public reports, its valuation before bankruptcy was about 1 billion US dollars, which can be regarded as a small and beautiful start-up company.

　　In the past two years or so, the community group buying model developed from fresh food e-commerce has rapidly developed into a new format in the e-commerce industry, providing a new way for the development of farmers and rich farmers and the absorption of flexible employment in cities and towns, and attracting a large number of entrepreneurial teams. Ten Hui Tuan, Xingsheng Preferred and Tongcheng Life are the three fastest teams, once known as the "old three groups" by the outside world.

　　However, the booming community group buying market has also attracted "giants" to enter the market. Since September 2020, Ali, Meituan, Didi, Pinduoduo and others have resorted to price war "big killers", and "1 cent to buy vegetables" has become popular. Even the vendors in the vegetable market have felt the pressure.

　　The sudden entry of "giants" broke the development rhythm of the entire community group buying track, and the rules of the game changed accordingly. The industry changed from "fighting for innovation" and "fighting for execution" to "fighting for capital" and "fighting for subsidies".

　　According to the reporter’s understanding, in the face of the sudden arrival of the survival crisis, Tongcheng Life has also struggled, seeking capital mergers and acquisitions while striving for performance. It has discussed acquisition intentions with JD.com, Ali, ByteDance, Meituan, etc., and even has a team settled in for due diligence, but ultimately failed due to changes in the industry trend.

　　Li Ming (a pseudonym), a former executive of Tongcheng Life, told reporters that "at the end of June, Tongcheng Life also hoped to get better business data through increased marketing efforts, so as to obtain the olive branch of a’giant ‘merger, but unfortunately it was rejected again. Later, due to the expiration of the brand authorization, the executive decided to start a name change and strategic transformation to make a comeback. Unfortunately, at this time, the supplier began to concentrate on the run to collect payment, which eventually led to the collapse of the capital chain."

　　At present, community group buying is still in the stage of rapid expansion and growth. Meituan (Meituan Preferred), Pinduoduo, and Didi (Orange Heart Preferred) have occupied the top position, and Xingsheng Preferred and Ten Hui Tuan have also been incorporated by JD.com and Ali. After the departure of Tongcheng Life, community group buying has become a game for "giants".

　　After the shopping, the industry will lose a lot.

　　After the community group buying track fully entered the era of "giants", price-fighting and long-term rebates became the norm, and no one could achieve positive benefits in the short term. Service innovation and experience innovation on the user side stagnated, and the entire industry suffered serious internal friction.

　　It is understood that the profit margin of the community group buying industry has rapidly declined from profit to loss. Li Ming revealed that before the "giant" entered the market (before September 2020), the monthly sales of platforms like Tongcheng Life were between 800 million yuan and 1.20 billion yuan, and the gross profit was about 20%. After the "giant" entered, with the huge subsidies for consumers and the competition for the "head", the monthly revenue of the platform fell by up to 80%, and the gross profit directly became negative. The entire community group buying market also further slid into the quagmire of industry-wide losses.

　　In December 2020, the State Administration for Market Regulation and the Ministry of Commerce jointly organized an administrative guidance meeting to standardize the order of community group buying, which was attended by six Internet platform companies including Alibaba, Tencent, JD.com, Meituan, Pinduoduo, and Didi. At the meeting, the community group buying "nine must not" was proposed. In March this year, the operating entities behind five community group buying platforms including Meituan Preferred (Shenzhen Meituan Preferred Technology Co., Ltd.) were fined 1.50 million yuan for suspected unfair price behavior.

　　But this still failed to curb the expansion of the "giants". On the one hand, they "hide their positions" and continue to engage in similar "1 cent" activities. On the other hand, they seize the end point market by greatly increasing the commission rewards and subsidies for the "heads". Li Ming said that at present, the rewards and subsidies given by several giants to community groups buying end point "heads" have reached a maximum level of 15% to 18%, basically subsidizing the platform’s own income. This is already irrational competition and is suspected of disguised price war.

　　On July 8, the reporter inquired about some community group buying platforms, not only the activity of "15 eggs clocked in 5 days", but also 1.25 yuan a catty of sand sweet potatoes and 0.99 yuan a red dragon fruit. On the community fresh platform, similar red dragon fruits cost about 4 yuan to 5 yuan each, and sand sweet potatoes cost 5 yuan a catty, which is much higher than the community group buying platform.

　　Behind the shopping prices and subsidies is the huge loss of the entire industry. According to public reports, Meituan’s adjusted net loss reached 3.892 billion yuan in the first quarter of this year, and Meituan’s investment in the community group buying business was about 10 billion yuan, which is expected to reach 20 billion yuan this year. In the first quarter, Pinduoduo’s gross profit fell to 49.74%. Pinduoduo invested about 6 billion yuan in buying vegetables in Duoduo, and will increase investment in 2021.

　　Under the mess, suppliers are affected

　　From thriving performance to being forced to declare bankruptcy and exit, the closure of Tongcheng Life is not only regrettable, but also leaves a trail of chicken feathers.

　　In the early morning of July 8, He Pengyu issued an open letter through his personal Moments, proposing three solutions to the bankruptcy of Tongcheng Life: to maximize the protection of the rights and interests of all creditors within the scope of the law; to make every effort to preserve existing assets, hand them over to the court for proper storage and treatment, and actively cooperate with the government’s guidance to offset debts with company assets; if the assets are not enough to offset debts, He Pengyu promises to start a business again, "I will record every debt clearly, and use all my personal efforts to repay debts."

　　It is also understood that on July 8, Tongcheng Life issued a repayment plan for the supplier before initiating the bankruptcy liquidation process. Previously, it had paid employees’ salaries in June and also promised to pay social security for employees in the future.

　　Although the entrepreneurial team of Tongcheng Life tried their best to make up for it, there were still many vegetable farmers, small traders, and even large and medium-sized suppliers who did not receive the payment on time.

　　A livestock company has cooperated with Tongcheng Life to supply egg products since 2019, and it was owed nearly 800,000 yuan. After the crisis broke out in Tongcheng Life, Mr. Wang, the person in charge of the company, came to ask for the arrears. "There are hundreds of egg farmers behind me, so I have to come to collect debts."

　　According to the latest situation, on July 8, Tongcheng Life has started to repay some of the suppliers’ debts in advance, and the rest will be allocated by the court after the bankruptcy liquidation process starts. The work is still being carried out in an orderly manner.

　　As of the morning of July 9, there were more than 600 suppliers who had reached repayment agreements with Orange Technology, mainly from the financing loans raised by He Pengyu and his team.

　　On July 9, Mr. Wang booked a return ticket with a repayment agreement. But next time, if there is another community group buying platform flash crash, will the suppliers be so lucky?

On August 28, China Evergrande announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that Evergrande’s agreement arrangement meeting will be postponed for 29 days to September 26. Before that, China Evergrande said that the agreement arrangement meeting scheduled for August 23 will be postponed to August 28.

On the same day, China Evergrande resumed trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and the intraday share price fell by more than 90%. As of the close, China Evergrande’s share price was HK $0.34, falling below HK $1 and becoming a penny stock.

　　How to seize the new opportunities of digital transformation in the era of digital economy is a must-answer for Dongguan furniture industry to achieve high-quality development.

　　As a famous furniture manufacturing city in China, Dongguan’s furniture industry is famous at home and abroad. As a characteristic industry in Dongguan, how to seize the new opportunities of digital transformation in the digital economy era is a must-answer for the furniture industry to achieve high-quality development.

　　At the beginning of this year, Dongguan proposed to promote the digital transformation of the furniture industry cluster, with a clear transformation goal of personalized customization transformation, using digital technology to penetrate the front, middle and back ends of the furniture industry, extending from manufacturing business to high added value at both ends of the value chain, and realizing the transformation from "production + sales" to "product + service" by 2025.

　　Industry insiders said that, unlike other industries, the furniture industry is still a non-standard industry to a large extent. There are many product materials, complex processes, and small order volumes. Its digital transformation is difficult to achieve in one step. Although some leading enterprises have taken the lead in digitalization, the digital transformation of Dongguan furniture industry is still in its infancy.

　　Lin Guorong, vice chairperson of the China Furniture Brand Alliance, said that most of the furniture industry in Dongguan produces high-end home products, which also makes the digital transformation of the furniture industry in Dongguan more difficult. "But Dongguan’s advantages are also obvious. Relying on industrial Internet platforms such as Huawei Cloud and Wewin Big Data, the furniture industry will have great technical advantages in digital transformation, and will explore more local solutions for the digital transformation of Dongguan furniture industry clusters."

　　Industry digital transformation is still in its infancy

　　According to the digital transformation roadmap planned by Dongguan, the digital transformation of the furniture industry cluster mainly involves four parts: leading enterprises to create digital transformation system integration solutions; support enterprises to transform production lines, develop intelligent, collaborative and flexible production and processing models, and promote enterprises to transform into new production models such as personalized customization and modular furniture; promote the application of advanced furniture design technologies such as virtual simulation and 3D design, and strengthen the intelligent design of furniture products linked with smart home systems; guide enterprises to accurately grasp the end point retail situation.

　　However, combing the digitization process of Dongguan furniture industry can find that, in addition to the leading enterprises "one ride without dust", the vast majority of enterprises are "jogging in small steps" according to their own actual conditions, and are not in a hurry to digitalize in an all-round layout. The digital transformation of the furniture industry presents a bipolar phenomenon.

　　Mousse health sleep joint stock company isDongguanThe only listed company in the furniture industry, as an industry leader, is undoubtedlyDongguanThe "leader" of the digital transformation of the furniture industry. Entering the Mousse intelligent digital factory, the large screen of the industrial Internet will collect the layout and real-time progress of all kinds of equipment. In the production area, the bed net spring machine intelligently forms the string net, and the automatic edge machine operates in an orderly manner.

　　Due to non-standard products, the home furnishing industry has been facing many pain points such as high cost of personalized production and too much reliance on manpower. Mousse, on the other hand, has installed a "smart brain" in the factory by building an Industry 4.0 intelligent manufacturing system based on the soft furniture industry, allowing custom home furnishings to have flexible production lines and carry out modular and large-scale production.

　　In recent years, Mousse has introduced world-class automated and intelligent equipment and industrial processes such as Siemens. At the same time, it is equipped with an intelligent decision management platform. It integrates CRM, SAP, MES, WMS and other full systems to open up the integrated production process of orders. Production personnel can monitor and analyze the system data of each product in real time. On-demand customized C2M business model can quickly schedule production according to customer personalized and non-standard customized production needs. Customers are fully automated and visual processes from order placement to product delivery, making it one of the most automated production workshops in China’s furniture manufacturing industry.

　　Unlike Mousse, Dongguan Chuangyu Industrial Co., Ltd. chose to "gradually transfer" on the road of digital transformation. In early July, Chuangyu joined hands with Guan Enterprise Shufu to complete the upgrade and closure of Enterprise Resource Planning, and 17 major modules such as business management, group operation, and material management have been launched. Through Shufu Enterprise Resource Planning, Chuangyu Group has opened up data sharing in material control, finished product warehouse management, sales, and procurement, so as to realize data transmission between the brand end and the factory end, improve production efficiency and reduce error rates.

　　Southern finance media reporter learned that as the first step of digital transformation, many furniture enterprises in Dongguan have settled in Enterprise Resource Planning. But most enterprises have only penetrated the internal management link, connecting the front-end supply chain, back-end marketing, store end points and service links, and have not fully realized the integration and digitalization of the whole process. The digital transformation of the production line is still in the initial stage due to the high cost and complicated process.

　　"At present, our digital equipment is only for the early standardization of cutting, edge sealing, punching and other aspects. Last year, we introduced a device for the manufacture of wooden door patterns, which can realize digital three-dimensional cutting. But we have more than 40 processes, which are more complicated, and some process digital equipment is still difficult to achieve." Lin Guorong, chairperson of Chuangyu Group, introduced.

　　Let products and designs take the lead in digitalization

　　Many industry insiders said that most of Dongguan mainly produces high-end home furnishing products, with extremely high requirements for craftsmanship and higher difficulty in digital transformation. Take Rongma Furniture as an example, as a high-tech enterprise with a global professional designer and R & D team, the main production of sofas includes more than ten processes such as nail racks, cotton, and leather, all of which are completed by workers by hand. "Whether the sofa is well done or not, whether it is full or not, depends on manual realization," Rongma Furniture technicians said.

　　At the same time, the government advocates the transformation of enterprises to new production models such as personalized customization and modular furniture, requiring them to adjust their processes according to customer needs. They also face problems such as the large number of non-standardized links and the difficulty of large-scale output due to small quantities.

　　Faced with the challenges of transformation, many companies have turned to breaking through, taking the lead in digitizing their products and designs, promoting the application of advanced technologies such as virtual simulation and 3D design, strengthening the segmentation of the population, strengthening the iterative upgrade of smart home systems and products, and climbing towards high value-added links.

　　"We are currently the first to digitize product design. This year, through AI intelligent design, we have realized the virtual simulation of the exhibition hall. Consumers can experience products interactively on the Internet, accelerating the digitalization process of our flexible production," said Lin Guorong, chairperson of Chuangyu Group.

　　Using the core technology of Industry 4.0 to combine the Internet, big data, Internet of Things, etc. with industrial production, create a flexible production chain, realize the interconnection of factories, consumers, products and information data, and gradually realize the production and service, is the inevitable direction of the furniture industry. As an important territory with the strongest interaction and experience in the home furnishing industry, soft furniture has brought new growth points to the furniture industry. Relevant statistics show that it is expected that by 2023, the global smart home market will reach 510 billion yuan. The huge market space of smart home has attracted major enterprises to enter the market. The digital transformation of Dongguan furniture industry is the epitome of it.

　　In the field of smart home, Mousse has long created a "tailor-made personal healthy sleep system" in the industry. The newly developed T10 intelligent healthy sleep system can monitor heart rate, snoring, and deep sleep through built-in sensors in the mattress. When users have sleep problems, the Legend26 smart healthy sleep system will tailor sleep solutions, provide psychological intervention guidance such as sleep music and CBTI, and realize closed-loop management of the smart healthy sleep ecosystem.

　　As one of the first companies in China to lay out smart homes with smart furniture as an entry point, Rongma Furniture’s Livable Home brand has become one of the first companies to enjoy the benefits of the smart home industry. Walking into the smart exhibition hall of Rongma Furniture, with the help of "artificial intelligence + Internet of Things" technology, customers issue instructions to artificial intelligence "Xiaole": open the viewing mode, the curtains in the house will automatically close, and the sofa will also be adjusted to a comfortable angle. Livable Home injects artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technology into sofas, beds and other furniture items to create a "smart home".

　　Looking at the digital transformation process of Dongguan furniture industry cluster, it can be seen that actively integrating into the development trend of smart home is a highlight of the digital transformation of Dongguan furniture industry. Based on its own smart platform, creating a cloud platform interface that can be opened to the outside world, connecting to Huawei Hongmeng system, and promoting the home to upgrade to the smart IoT healthy field will be an important direction for the digital transformation of the industrial cluster in the future.

　　Big data and artificial intelligence deeply empower the industry

　　Southern finance media reporter survey found that although walking in the forefront of digital transformation, and Dongguan furniture industry cluster development has become a general trend, but due to different enterprises production and operation mode, and the degree of embedding of the industrial chain is different, leading furniture enterprises did not output a set of unified applicable to the industry’s digital transformation integrated solutions, each enterprise’s digital system, equipment, direction, etc. are independently customized, the status quo of information islands is obvious, furniture industry cluster digital transformation still maintains the "go it alone" situation.

　　With the foundation of industrial software in the early years, Foshan Weishang Furniture, which has a certain Internet gene, has become a benchmark enterprise in the custom home furnishing industry, and actively provides digital intelligence transformation solutions for upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry, shaping a classic path of digital transformation for furniture enterprises. And in Dongguan, such a case is about to be born.

　　Walking into the small laboratory of Interface Technology Co., Ltd., located in Songshan Lake, several 6-axis industrial robots and automation equipment are conducting research and development and production of various products.

　　As a technology-based innovation enterprise engaged in supply-side technology development and channel expansion in the furniture industry, Interface Technology has accumulated a lot of technical experience in the use of industrial 6-axis robots for processing processes including sheet metal, square material, soft material milling, surface forming, and supporting tooling equipment. It is mainly used in single-piece to small-batch production, targeting the majority of small and medium-sized furniture enterprises.

　　"In terms of solid wood furniture, the technology can initially meet the customization needs of some high-end customers. At the same time, due to the establishment of product and process databases, the robot production process makes it possible to produce single pieces to small batches on demand," said Wang Huaiqun, head of the interface technology department.

　　At present, Interface Technology is actively seeking cooperation with small and medium-sized furniture enterprises in Dongguan. "We hope to build intelligent furniture production units that can empower small and medium-sized enterprises, truly solve the practical difficulties of small and medium-sized furniture enterprises in digital transformation, and launch intelligent manufacturing system solutions for the furniture industry that can be implemented." Jiang Wei, founder of the company, said.

　　In terms of solving the information islands between enterprises, Dongguan furniture enterprises actively use Huawei Cloud, Wewin big data and other industrial Internet platforms for digital transformation. Lin Guorong told the Southern Finance and Economics All Media reporter that he has established a separate technology company and joined hands with Huawei to create a "data Rubik’s Cube". "We hope to create a solution together with Huawei, and use a central platform to link different software and systems in the integration industry. Enterprises bring their own data to the station. As a peer-to-peer exchange, the platform will provide enterprises with corresponding user portrait analysis, logistics matching services based on big data, etc."

　　"Making big data and artificial intelligence technology deeply empower the industry is the core goal of the digital transformation of Dongguan’s furniture industry in the future," Lin Guorong said.

　　China News Service, Beijing, November 13 (Lang Lang) At around 3:00 a.m. on November 9, a knife attack by a Didi driver occurred in Nanjing, causing a dispute between the two sides due to passengers demanding that the driver speed up in the tunnel.

　　Didi said that after verifying the recording in the car of the order, it was found that the passenger asked the driver to speed during the journey; while the passenger said in an interview with the China News Service reporter that he did not ask the driver to speed, but only to be as fast as possible within the speed limit.

　　The injured passengers have responded to the incident online. Some netizens believe that the speed limit for crossing the tunnel is stipulated by law, and passengers are unreasonable; others question why the driver is carrying a knife?

　　The scene of the incident, pictures provided by the interviewees

　　Dispute 1: Did the passenger ask the driver to speed?

　　At around 1am on November 9, Mr. Wang called for an express train through "Didi Chuxing" on the Alipay terminal and went from Nanjing South Railway Station to his residence on Huju Road. He recalled to a reporter from China News Service that because he was in a hurry to go home and video with his girlfriend, when the car reached the Qingliangmen tunnel, "I saw that there was no car in the tunnel, so I asked the driver to drive quickly." The driver refused Mr. Wang on the grounds of speed limit. The two sides immediately quarreled.

　　According to Mr. Wang’s account, after the car drove out of the tunnel to near Hohai University, the driver asked Mr. Wang to get out of the car, and he also got out of the car. The two had a physical altercation. Mr. Wang pinned the driver to the ground, and the driver showed a knife and stabbed Mr. Wang in the right arm.

　　"The knife hit the bone, and blood spurted out immediately." Mr. Wang said that he couldn’t see where the other party took out the knife in the night, but only remembered that it was a black dagger about 10cm long.

　　Mr. Wang said that after he called the police, the driver scolded: "It’s good that you didn’t stab to death."

　　"He also said that he had just stabbed someone two days ago, and his uncle was the director of the Public Security Bureau." Mr. Wang said that after the incident, the driver Liu was taken away by the police and was criminally detained. Mr. Wang was sent to the hospital’s intensive care unit for a broken vein. Due to excessive blood loss (about 1000cc), he fainted three times before and after, and is currently recovering.

　　On the 12th, in an interview with China News Service, Didi replied to the matter, saying that the platform had verified the in-car recording of the order: the passenger asked the driver to speed during the journey, but after the driver refused, the two sides had an altercation, which then escalated into a physical conflict.

　　The reporter asked Mr. Wang many times "whether the driver is required to speed", and Mr. Wang always made it clear that he only asked the driver to drive faster within the speed limit, not to speed.

　　The driver was detained and unable to be interviewed.

　　Dispute 2: Why do drivers carry knives? Does the platform allow it?

　　In addition to the "Rashomon" "whether speeding is required", there is another point of debate in this incident – why does the driver have a knife?

　　Screenshots of netizens’ comments

　　According to Didi’s disclosure, platform data shows that the driver of the Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi X6, which Mr. Wang was riding, has obtained a driver’s license for online car-hailing in Nanjing, with a history of receiving more than 10,000 orders. Past passengers have rated it as five-star.

　　According to a report by Jiangsu media "Wusu.com", a staff member of Didi Chuxing said in an interview: The company expressly stipulates that drivers are not allowed to bring controlled knives on the bus. As for why drivers carry daggers with them, as of the press release, Didi has not responded positively.

　　In a reply to the media, Didi said: "After receiving the relevant information, the platform immediately set up an emergency response team. On the one hand, the staff was assigned to visit the hospital at noon to visit the injured, pay medical expenses in advance, and ensure that the injured were fully and timely treated. On the other hand, actively cooperate with the police to investigate the incident."

　　"Next, we will step up efforts to educate drivers on safety and platform rules, guide drivers and passengers to communicate in a civilized and rational manner, and resolve disputes through reasonable and legal channels," Didi said.

　　Didi: One wave has not been leveled, and the hitchhiker has just been back online.

　　This is not the first time something has happened to Didi.

　　On the evening of May 5, 2018, Li, a flight attendant in Zhengzhou, was killed while riding a Didi ride-hailing car. On August 24 of the same year, Zhao, a 20-year-old woman in Yueqing, Zhejiang, was killed while riding a Didi ride-hailing car. One hundred days, two lives, Didi announced that it would offline its ride-hailing business nationwide.

　　In March 2019, a Didi driver in Changde, Hunan Province, died after being stabbed more than 20 times by a passenger named Yang.

　　Not long ago, on November 6, Didi announced the trial operation plan of Didi Hitch: it will be launched in seven cities including Harbin and Beijing from November 20. The plan has also been adjusted due to the controversy over "whether it discriminates against women".

　　According to the Economic Daily, in July this year, Didi Chuxing held a hitch media communication meeting in Beijing. "I’m just afraid." Liu Qing, president of Didi Chuxing, admitted at the meeting that the team was "rather cowardly" and waited so long because he was afraid. "Who is so sure that they can launch a 100% safe product?"

Half a month ago, Ms. Li, who was on a business trip to Jinan, used the chauffeur service. After checking out, she found that she had charged 109 yuan for a 1.5-kilometer trip. Recently, many car owners reported to the New Yellow River reporter that they had been charged high prices when looking for a chauffeur, suspecting that they might have encountered a "black chauffeur".

The reporter visited and investigated and found that most of the suspected "black drivers" wore regular imitation clothes and "squatted" drunk passengers on the scene. They borrowed billing software to set the payment amount at will, and even some billing software did not require identity verification and only charged membership fees.

Citizens spend 109 yuan to find a driver for 1.5 kilometers, which is nearly double the cost of other platforms

On November 9, Ms Li arrived in Jinan from Zibo on a business trip. That night, she had a drink with a friend at a bar on Luoyuan Street. After the show ended at 2am the next day, she called a chauffeur at the scene. "He was wearing platform clothes and said he was driving on behalf of Shi Cheng. I thought it was not far from the hotel where I stayed, so I asked him to send me back to the hotel." After arriving at the destination, the driver said that the weather was cold and he would increase the price, charging 109 yuan, Ms Li said. "I drank a lot at that time, so I paid him the money. The more I thought about it the next day, the more wrong it was."

Ms. Li said that the map from the bar to the hotel showed a distance of 1.5 kilometers, and a well-known driving platform only cost 55 yuan to drive 8 kilometers, and the fee of 109 yuan was too high. "Later, I didn’t find the Shicheng driving platform from the mini program, and I suspected that I encountered a’black driving ‘." Subsequently, the reporter checked the fee of a well-known driving platform, and the starting price from 0:00 to 6:00 was 55 yuan within 8 kilometers. The fee charged by the "driving" that Ms. Li encountered was nearly double that of the platform.

The screenshot of the payment order provided by Ms. Li shows that the recipient of the order is "Shicheng Auto Service", which is a personal account number. The reporter did not check the relevant information of the company through Tianyancha.

Coincidentally, Mr. Zhang, a citizen, also encountered a similar situation. "At the end of the liquor store, I found a chauffeur at the door of the hotel, and the chauffeur showed me with his mobile phone, indicating that he was a regular chauffeur, and the platform automatically billed him. It was not until after payment that I found out that the recipient was the chauffeur himself, not the regular chauffeur platform." Mr. Zhang also said that such "chauffeurs" are specifically aimed at passengers who are half-awake and half-drunk, "which is easier to’start ‘."

Reporter investigation: There are offline driving agents using billing software, and prices can be set at will

Regarding the situation reported by the citizens, the reporter launched an investigation near several hotels in the evening of the past few days. In the Impression Jinan business district, the reporter asked a driver after observation. The driver said that he was cheaper than the regular driving platform. The reporter showed that after arriving near IKEA, the driver’s platform order showed 100 yuan, so he urged the reporter to place an order. The reporter opened a regular driving platform to inquire, and the cost was only 35 yuan. So he asked the driver why the price was so high. The driver immediately locked the screen of his mobile phone and rode in the other direction.

At a barbecue compound on Olympic Sports Middle Road, several chauffeurs in formal attire stopped at the door of the hotel waiting for passengers. When asked by a reporter, the chauffeur said that he could directly transfer money on WeChat without going to the platform at the same price as the platform. "The platform needs to deduct our service fee, or I am a little cheaper than the platform, you can directly transfer it to me." The driver said.

A driver revealed that there are currently driving software on the market that can modify the price at will, and many data can be adjusted by the driver. Among these driving billing software, an app called "driving billing" is quite popular.

Subsequently, the reporter downloaded the "driving pricing" app in the Apple App Store and found that the software does not require identity authentication, as long as you enter your mobile phone number and verification code to log in. On the software, registrants can set their own pricing template, starting price and starting mileage, waiting time charges, return fees, etc. After exceeding the starting mileage, the price per kilometer can also be set by themselves, and all prices can be set from 1 yuan to 151 yuan.

The reporter edited the billing template in the "Driving Price" App. The starting price for the whole day is 151 yuan. The software shows that after starting the order and then ending the order, the driving fee of 151 yuan can be charged.

The driver revealed that in addition to using the software to arbitrarily price, there are also some personal driver drivers who buy driver clothes online to hide people’s eyes and ears. On the Taobao platform, the reporter entered "driver’s vest", and you can see a large number of clothes that are exactly the same as the regular driver’s platform appeared in the search results. The reporter randomly clicked on a store to ask about the driver’s vest. The customer service of the store said that the store’s driver’s vest is the same as the regular driver’s platform, and the font and logo can be changed. It will be shipped within 48 hours.

There are more than ten types of driving billing software, and the starting price limit can be unlocked by software payment.

The reporter learned that at present, the main drivers are registered drivers of various driving platforms and personal drivers who do not have any guarantees and operate independently. Some personal drivers do not want to pay platform fees or share with the platform, so they rely on billing software for pricing. The reporter searched for software related to driving and pricing in the Apple Store and found that there are more than ten downloadable billing software. Some software can be downloaded and used, and some software shows that the network connection is unstable and cannot be used when registering.

The reporter randomly downloaded a software called "Driver", and the software introduction stated that "Driver" is a traffic navigation and billing application. Regardless of the driver or the owner, you can customize the billing template. After starting the service, according to the current billing rules, calculate the mileage and the price corresponding to the mileage in real time. You can set the mileage correction function, estimate the price of the mileage, accurately calculate the positioning, travel trajectory, and one-click navigation. It is a necessary metering tool for driver drivers.

Later, when the reporter changed the starting price of the software to the maximum limit of 120 yuan, the software reminded "The starting price you set has exceeded the current city price too much. In order to avoid disputes with customers, please set it carefully. If you need to unlock, pay 299 yuan to permanently unlock the starting price limit."

In the market, a variety of billing software is used by drivers to slaughter customers, and even become a kind of "convenience". How should the rights and interests of consumers in question be protected? A staff member of the market supervision department told reporters: "’Black driving’ belongs to the chaos of the industry. We mainly supervise the driving company, such as whether the platform clearly labels the price to consumers and whether the billing basis is informed to consumers. ‘Black driving’ is based on personal pricing, or using some billing platforms to charge consumers unreasonable driving fees. It is difficult for market supervision departments to supervise and enforce personal charging behavior."

According to a staff member of Jinan 12345 transportation special seat, driving is an emerging industry. At present, there are no laws and regulations in our country to prevent individuals or units from engaging in driving activities, and there are no laws and regulations to stipulate driving standards, qualifications and qualification restrictions.

Industry insiders say the industry lacks supervision and the market order still needs to be standardized

A person who has been engaged in the driving industry for many years said that the driving industry currently lacks professional standards and the norms of relevant institutions, and is in a state of unsupervised. According to his understanding, "personal driving" in Jinan mostly exists near the Olympic Sports Area and the High-tech Zone. " For example, during peak periods, when orders are issued very intensively, passengers can’t find a chauffeur on the platform. At this time, such’personal chauffeurs’ start to’attract customers’. Most of them are mobile squatting stations, and some drivers wear regular platform clothes, and they can’get back their money ‘by taking an order in one night; there is another situation, the regular platform will deduct 2% of the driver’s service fee. Some drivers are unwilling to go to the platform, and the asking price is the same as the platform price, but when encountering a driver with poor driving skills, it is difficult to find someone to hold accountable for an accident. "

The industry insider cautioned, "The most reliable way is to call the driver through the regular platform. The regular platform has the driver’s information. If there is a safety problem, each driver has insurance, and the owner can find the driver to be held accountable. The driver is bound by the corresponding regulations of the platform and will not ask for the price at will."

The reporter searched and found that from September 20th to October 19th, the Jinan Municipal Transportation Bureau publicly solicited opinions and suggestions from the public through the website of the Jinan Municipal People’s Government on the "Notice on Regulating the Order of the Driving Market (exposure draft) ". One of the solicitation opinions mentioned the threshold for employment and the government’s introduction of pricing standards: There are no special laws and regulations in our country to regulate and restrict the entry threshold for engaging in driving services. At present, it mainly relies on the self-discipline of each driving service operator (platform or enterprise, the same below). Each driving service operator independently determines the recruitment standards and regulations for car drivers according to their own operating conditions. Secondly, according to the "Price Law of the People’s Republic of China" and the "Shandong Province Pricing Catalog", the government pricing project implements directory management. The driving service is not included in the "Shandong Province Pricing Catalog", and the price is subject to market-adjusted prices. The specific price standards are independently formulated by the operator according to their own costs and market supply and demand.

Huang Xiwen, a lawyer at Shandong Zhengdu Law Firm, also reminded consumers that there are currently no unified regulations on surrogate driving across the country. The management of surrogate driving is mainly due to the internal supervision of the company and the self-discipline of the surrogate driver. Therefore, when choosing a surrogate driver, try not to be convenient. You can directly find a surrogate driver at a restaurant, bar, etc. to solicit business. You must check the other party’s driver’s license, confirm the basic information and leave your contact information. It is best to place an order through a regular surrogate driving platform to prevent accidents.
