Geely’s commercial aerospace programme is set to fall further after the launch of the Geely Satellite Super Factory on September 27. On September 29, Spacetime Daoyu and China Great Wall Industry Group Co., Ltd. signed a launch service contract at the 13th Zhuhai Air Show. According to the contract, Spacetime Daoyu will purchase multiple Long March series launch vehicles to complete the networking of the world’s first low-orbit future travel constellation.

It is reported that the formation of a whole industrial chain layout integrating satellite design, development, manufacturing, operation and maintenance services with Spacetime Daoyu as the core is an important part of Geely’s commercial aerospace business. It is also the main direction for Spacetime Daoyu to continue to deepen aerospace information and communication (AICT), intelligent manufacturing, autonomous driving and other fields to serve human future travel. The signing of this contract means that Geely’s commercial aerospace plan has come to reality.

The sword points to the future travel

"AICT reshapes future travel". At the roundtable on the 9th and 29th, Ding Sheng, senior vice president of Spacetime Daoyu, delivered a special report, saying that establishing a business structure centered on satellite development and aerospace applications is Geely Group’s interpretation of the new situation of future travel and smart ecological applications led by aerospace technology. The layout of the entire industrial chain of commercial aerospace, the creation of the world’s first low-orbit future travel constellation, and the construction of a high-precision space-time information system integrated with heaven and earth are Geely’s specific measures to promote the deep integration of China’s commercial aerospace and intelligent manufacturing, future travel, and big data industries, and realize the commercial application of aerospace.

It is reported that the heaven and earth integrated high-precision space-time information network built by Space-Time Road Yu, with the low-orbit satellite constellation system as the core and the ground PPP-RTK monitoring network as a supplement, deeply integrates the integrity and functional safety requirements of the smart travel industry, provides low-latency, high-precision, high-reliability centimeter-level precision location information services, allows travel carriers to achieve comprehensive perception of space-time information, and performs autonomous driving decision-making and execution under centimeter-level high-precision positioning services and real-time high-precision map services, providing a safe and reliable intelligent driving experience, empowering vehicle cloud management, vehicle-road collaboration, autonomous driving, low-altitude travel and other smart travel applications to upgrade and develop.

According to Ding Sheng, in addition to the satellite business, Spacetime Daoyu will also create a "future travel" ecosystem with full coverage, with satellite routing technology, combined with multi-dimensional carriers such as cars, mobile phones, and smart wearable devices to comprehensively enhance the user travel experience. For future travel, Spacetime Daoyu will provide in-vehicle satellite Internet application services. Vehicles and mobile phones can realize data links at any location on the earth’s surface, providing ubiquitous services for users to travel and creating the ultimate travel experience. In the low-altitude field, Spacetime Daoyu, with its high-precision positioning service capabilities with seamless global coverage, can not only plan accurate "infrastructure-free roads" at low altitudes, but also provide lane-level high-precision positioning services for flying cars, empowering the diversification and transformation of future travel methods.

In addition, Space-Time Daoyu will also deeply integrate satellite Internet and 5G, leveraging the significant advantages of low-orbit satellites such as global coverage, low cost, and no geographical restrictions, as well as the core advantages of 5G high-speed rate and low latency, to provide high-speed ubiquitous, heaven and earth integrated, integrated Internet, safe and efficient vehicle-mounted satellite applications. Connect the mobile end point, vehicle to everything, and satellite Internet to form a new business format of mobile phone + car + satellite.

Building a commercial aerospace industry chain

In March this year, our country’s 14th Five-Year Plan and Vision 2035 clearly stated that it is necessary to "build a global coverage and efficient operation of communication, navigation and remote sensing space infrastructure system." Mass production of satellites is the key to building a space infrastructure system. Through mass rapid manufacturing, constellation formation, and provision of communication, navigation, remote sensing and other services, it will promote the construction of satellite Internet and industrial development in our country, and comprehensively improve the modernization level of China’s aerospace industry.

As the first enterprise to eat crabs, Geely Group has long started to lay out the commercial application of aerospace. As early as the 14th Five-Year Plan was announced, Geely had obtained the approval of the commercial satellite manufacturing project approved by the National Development and Reform Commission. On September 27, Geely Satellite Super Factory went offline in Taizhou, Zhejiang.

In this regard, Wang Yang, CEO of Geely Science and Technology Group’s aerospace sector, said that the commercial aerospace business is a typical example of Geely’s "new infrastructure" investment, not only providing infrastructure for Geely’s own integrated travel ecosystem, but also providing support for future travel, intelligent manufacturing, drone transportation, urban management and other fields. Open cooperation with ecological partners to build a technological ecological chain advantage.

As an important part, the whole industrial chain layout of satellite design, development, manufacturing, operation and maintenance services is formed with Space-Time Daoyu as the core, which is Geely’s layout for commercial aerospace. It is reported that this layout will be based on Space-Time Daoyu Shanghai Aerospace Research Institute as the core, supported by the business units of Beijing, Guangzhou, Xi’an, Nanjing and Qingdao, and relying on the production and manufacturing of Taizhou Xingkong Zhilian satellites, covering the whole industrial chain system from satellite research and development, manufacturing, measurement and control, to industrial applications.

Lithium batteries have the advantages of high energy density, smaller and lighter size, and long cycle life. They have been widely used in 3C electronic products, new energy vehicles, energy storage, smart home appliances and other fields. According to the data released by the market research agency EVTank, the total global shipment of lithium-ion batteries in 2023 was 1202.6 GWh, an increase of 25.6% year-on-year. Among them, the shipment of lithium-ion batteries in China reached 887.4 GWh in 2023, an increase of 34.3% year-on-year, and the development momentum is very rapid.

Shenzhen Bike Power Battery Co., Ltd., as one of the pioneers in the lithium battery industry, has always been at the forefront of the industry, and has carried out a multi-layered layout for different market needs and application scenarios, forming a highly competitive new generation of product matrix. At present, Bike Power has strongly opened up four product lines: large cylinder, small power, polymer, and energy storage. Lithium battery technology and product performance have both broken through, and comprehensively helped to upgrade the "core" of smart life.

BAK large cylindrical battery, promising

The large cylindrical battery has become the new favorite of the industry due to its comprehensive performance, outstanding safety and adaptability to different chemical systems, and is regarded as the breaking point of the second curve of electric vehicle development.

Since the release of the full-pole ear large cylindrical battery in early 2021, BAK Battery has continued to lead in the research and development and marketization of large cylindrical battery technology, gaining high attention from the industry. In terms of product layout, BAK Battery has adopted a two-line strategy, with two core large cylindrical battery product lines, focusing on high-performance high-nickel + high-efficiency silicon products and high-cost-effective lithium iron phosphate + silicon and sodium-ion battery products. The energy density of the representative first-generation product will be above 280Wh/kg, while supporting 4C fast charging. It has not only seized new opportunities in the industry, but also made full preparations for challenges.

BAK Small Power, Performance "Core" Upgrade

Under the development trend of miniaturization and convenience of intelligent end points, the penetration rate of cordless intelligent end points is getting higher and higher. On the basis of the application characteristics of small power scenarios and the higher requirements for batteries, BAK Power continues to promote the optimization and adjustment of small power batteries at four levels: material selection, battery design, safety assurance and customer application. It has six advantages: high energy density, long cycle life, high magnification, fast charging, strong temperature adaptability and high safety.

At present, BAK’s small power cylindrical battery products cover two series of 18650 and 21700. The capacity has not only increased from 2.5Ah of 18650 to 5.8Ah of 21700, but also the volume specific energy density has been greatly improved. Now it has been widely adopted by well-known customers such as Philips, Meituan, Hello Travel, Midea, and Xiaomi. In the beginning of 2024, BAK Power once again announced the mass production of N21700CH-58E high-capacity batteries. This blockbuster new product adopts high nickel + silicon anode system, and the capacity of single cells has "soared" to 5.8Ah, once again refreshing the performance ceiling of small power cylindrical batteries.

BAK Polymer, Open Smart "Core" Life

The 5G era makes life more and more intelligent. BAK battery polymer lithium-ion batteries provide long-lasting and reliable power for smart homes and smart lives.

From 20mAh products to 10000mAh products, all support fast charging and high-rate discharge, and the application scenarios cover sports bracelets, Bluetooth headphones, handheld printers, drones, power tools and portable vacuum cleaners, making a better life within reach with reliable power.

BAK Energy Storage for Efficient Clean Energy

In recent years, many governments in China have successively issued energy storage industry support policies, ushering in a new upsurge in the market. In order to promote the wide application of efficient and clean energy, BAK Power Energy Storage Battery adopts a modular design and is equipped with an intelligent battery management system (BMS).

On the hot lithium battery track, BAK Battery has fully deployed four product lines, deeply explored the "new path" of development, and created a "new highland" for the lithium battery industry.

　　"Qingyu Nian" finally ushered in the finale, and also boarded Weibo’s trending topic list. Although it has experienced a series of storms, it is undoubtedly still the most popular drama on the whole network.

　　But after watching the first season, there must be many viewers who are confused, and the first season finale also makes people feel very rushed. So let the editor help you sort out what pits were left in the first season of "Qingyu Nian"?

　　First, Emperor Qing played a big game of chess

　　Qing Di and Chen Pingping, two old foxes, had been standing at the top, planning the whole situation and letting everyone in. But in Fan Xian’s game of chess, Qing Di was a chess player, and everything was to get the secret of the temple from Sean’s mouth. On the way to send Sean off, Chen Pingping removed the black cavalry for this purpose.

　　Unexpectedly, when Sean passed away, everything was under the control of Emperor Qing and Chen Pingping, just to make Sean mistakenly think that Fan Xian was his descendant, and to inform Fan Xian of the temple’s affairs unsuspecting.

　　Second, Fan Xian is the son of Emperor Qing

　　When Sean died, he told Fan Xian that Ye Qingmei had married the current Emperor Qing and had given birth to a child for him. This way, Fan Xian would know his background.

　　Is Yan Bingyun Sean’s grandson?

　　Was he Yan Ruohai’s son or Sean’s grandson? Back then, Chen Pingping did not kill Sean’s grandson. Instead, she gave him a glimmer of hope.

　　Then would Yan Bingyun know his background? Where would he go?

　　Third, why does the prince always show his reckless image?

　　The friends watching "Qing Yu Nian" were all confused by the prince’s character, and their IQ was sometimes online and sometimes offline. Fan Ruoruo said that everyone in Kyoto knew that the prince was ignorant and acted recklessly, but was the truth really like this?

　　If he was really as cowardly and incompetent as the rumors, why did the cunning Emperor Qing keep letting him sit in the position of the crown prince?

　　Fifth, the second prince is actually the mastermind behind the scenes?

　　He had originally thought that the Second Prince was here to make a joke, but he had not thought that he was hiding so deeply. It turned out that he was also the person behind the First Princess.

　　Did Yan Bingyun kill Fan Xian?

　　At the end of the first season, Yan Bingyun killed Fan Xian, but he didn’t expect Yan Bingyun to betray him? The male lead didn’t survive the first season. In the original novel, Yan Bingyun also joined Fan Xian’s subordinates.

International Online Auto Channel News (Huang): Although the popularity of the domestic SUV market has subsided since May this year, and even there has been a year-on-year decline for several consecutive months, at the 16th Guangzhou Auto Show, new SUVs still account for half of the country. Among the many new SUV models, China FAW Hongqi’s first high-end C-class SUV – HS7, with its detached product positioning and unparalleled brand influence, has become the star of this auto show.

In recent years, independent brands have developed rapidly, and various brands have frequently launched products with higher positioning, and even high-end sub-brands have gradually emerged. However, the "infighting" of independent brands in the A-class and B-class markets is a norm that cannot be changed in a short period of time. There are both technical limitations and objective problems of relatively limited brand influence. In contrast, Hongqi HS7 is like a master who has completed "closed-door cultivation", and has the potential to "ascend to immortality" in the face of the more severe C-class luxury SUV market. The irreplaceable position of Hongqi brand in people’s hearts makes people look forward to Hongqi HS7 and helps China’s auto industry climb to a new peak.

The debut of Hongqi HS7 not only means the launch of the brand’s new strategic models, but also a concentrated display of the results of the new Hongqi brand strategy announced nearly a year later. Competitive products directly target many high-end imported cars, and Hongqi HS7 has also become the beginning of the struggle of Chinese auto brands in higher-level markets. In January this year, the brand strategy of Xinhongqi was released in the Great Hall of the People. As the eldest son of the Republic and a symbolic brand of China’s automobile industry, the new concept and new positioning conveyed by Xinhongqi instantly ignited the hopes of many viewers. From the release of the brand strategy in January to the launch of Hongqi H5 in April, and then to the debut of Hongqi HS7 in November, the pace of Xinhongqi’s progress was extremely brisk.

From a product perspective, the advent of Hongqi HS7 first enriched the product matrix of the New Hongqi brand, expanding the scale of product production and sales. At the same time, compared with the first model Hongqi H5 launched after the brand transformation, Hongqi HS7’s product positioning and technical level are more in line with the essence of the New Hongqi brand’s Chinese neo-noble refinement. There is no doubt that Hongqi HS7 is the best "spokesperson" of the New Hongqi brand at this stage, and the significance of the new car is also more profound.

On the basis of adhering to the concept of "Chinese New Noble Exquisite" of the New Hongqi brand, the Hongqi HS7 integrates the design concept of "Shang · Zhi · Yi". The straight waterfall air intake grille is larger than the Hongqi H5 in size, echoing the new interpretation of the Hongqi vertical standard, showing the noble temperament, and also showing the symmetrical beauty of Chinese aesthetics. In addition to the majestic shape, the core of the Hongqi HS7 is also ready to impact the C-class SUV market.

The 3.0L V6TD engine independently developed by China FAW with the highest level in China will become the "heart" of Hongqi HS7, with a maximum power of 248kW and a peak torque of 445Nm. It matches the Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission. Hongqi HS7 already has the foundation of not losing to international brands in terms of core power technology. At the same time, in terms of vehicle interconnection performance, Hongqi HS7 is also worth looking forward to. Although no specific information has been disclosed at the auto show, on November 6, Xu Liuping, chairperson of China FAW, said in Wuzhen: "Hongqi has begun to layout in the fields of electrification, intelligent networking, and mobile travel, and has made substantial progress." For the family’s flagship SUV products at this stage, Hongqi HS7 will naturally become the best carrier of the new Hongqi brand’s intelligent technology.

The "leapfrog" Hongqi HS7 has become a well-deserved masterpiece of Chinese SUV products in one fell swoop, and will also become a milestone worth remembering in China’s automotive industry at every node of exploring the higher-end market. With the ultimate quality, strong product force, deep brand connotation and intelligent "brain", Hongqi HS7 will surely become a breakthrough SUV product. Every step Hongqi HS7 takes in the market will powerfully drive the wheels of China’s automotive industry development. (Image source: FAW Hongqi)

　　Didi, which has been struggling to get back online for a long time, has turned its focus to the carpooling business. Since November 1, Didi has launched a new carpooling model in the Beijing area. Citizens who have not successfully carpooled will no longer enjoy the affordable "one price", but pay directly according to the real-time express price. This adjustment of the rules means that Didi will no longer provide subsidies to passengers who cannot carpool, but use price means to make more consumers accept the real carpooling business with a more shared nature.

　　Passengers have to pay more if the order is unsuccessful

　　Starting this month, when users open Didi’s taxi app, they will find that the first four options that appear on the software interface are express, simultaneous call, bicycle, and taxi. Click on the express option, select the destination, and a new "carpooling" interface will pop up. After checking, the carpooling pricing rules clearly state that "If you don’t get it, you will be priced in real time by express".

　　"In the past, no matter whether you can fight it or not, it was’one price ‘, saving money and worry. Now you can’t pick up cheap." On the morning of November 1, Mr. Guo, a citizen who often takes a taxi from Jiandemen to Chaoyang Park, discovered this new rule. The "pick up cheap" in his mouth is mainly before Didi adjusted the new rules. When citizens choose to carpool on some non-popular routes and off-peak hours, the system sometimes fails to match the carpooling order on the way, and passengers can enjoy express travel alone, but still charge according to the one-price carpool.

　　"The express train costs 37 or 38 yuan for the whole journey, and 25 yuan for carpooling can be done. Sometimes I can’t get on the bus alone, saving more than ten yuan. If I can’t get on the bus in the future, the cheap price of more than ten yuan will be gone!" Mr. Guo told reporters.

　　Didi’s customer service staff explained that before the rules were adjusted, regardless of whether the carpooling was successful or not, as long as "carpooling" was selected when placing an order, regardless of whether there was a traffic jam or not, it would be settled at the discounted price at the time of placing the order. After the adjustment, the carpooling needed to be successful to enjoy the discounted price. "Someone nearby needs to send a carpooling order at the same time, and they have to stop by to get together. If there is no shared order, the carpooling will fail." The customer service said.

　　The difficulty of carpooling has not been reduced, and the price is more affordable.

　　The reporter interviewed a number of users and found that for passengers who successfully carpool after placing an order, the price of carpooling is not only cheaper than that of express trains, but also lower than that of previous carpooling prices.

　　For example, the journey from Xiaoyueyuan in Lugou Bridge to Shougang Industrial Heritage Park is 14 kilometers, and the express train in the morning peak is close to 60 yuan. If the carpool is successful, the price will be 50 yuan, which is equivalent to about 15% off. After the rules are adjusted, the carpool price is about 34 yuan, which is 16 yuan cheaper than before. However, because there are multiple passengers paying the fare, the platform’s revenue will only increase.

　　After the rules are adjusted, is it more difficult to carpool? Many users said that it still feels easier to place an order, and it is easier to get a car during long distances during off-peak hours, when users can enjoy affordable "one price".

　　"I pulled seven carpooling orders this morning." Master Zhang, an express driver, said it was clear that the platform was sending more carpooling orders. He said that the number of carpooling orders was not related to the driver. "We just make money from the mileage, and the platform takes 25%."

　　"It doesn’t affect us much, but it’s time-consuming to take more detours to find passengers, and it’s easy to cause disputes. It’s easier to pull the express train." Express driver Master Liu told reporters that drivers are usually reluctant to take on carpooling business.

　　"The previous carpooling model’suffered a loss’ on the Didi platform." The driver, Master Jin, analyzed that whether it was spelled or not, the money given by the Didi platform was the amount of money from the departure point to the farthest destination. For example, if a passenger went from the News Building to Beiyuan, and a friend went from Chongwenmen to Datun, the fare given by the Didi platform to the driver was not the total amount of money for the two passengers, but the cost of the farthest distance from Chongwenmen to Beiyuan.

　　He believes that if the driver did not fight before, he would not suffer a loss, and only earn a little less mileage, but the platform "advanced" the money that was not spelled. After this adjustment, if the spelling is made, the platform can earn an extra order money, and the driver is still paid by the number of kilometers, so the platform "earns more".

　　Share into Didi’s profit breakthrough

　　Didi carpooling was launched in December 2015. According to the data released in April last year, the average daily order of Didi carpooling has exceeded 2.40 million yuan, becoming a typical representative of the sharing economy in the transportation field. More than 50% of passengers are willing to accept carpooling.

　　"The original intention of launching carpooling is to reduce users’ travel costs, reduce the rate of empty vehicles and improve travel efficiency by sharing seats in the car. This adjustment can better realize carpooling to share fares and reduce travel costs," Didi said.

　　According to industry analysis, after the implementation of the new carpooling regulations, Didi’s subsidies for the carpooling business will be greatly reduced, the enthusiasm of passengers for carpooling will also be higher, and the platform revenue is expected to increase significantly. Previously, Hitch, which has significant sharing characteristics, was a rare profit bright spot for Didi other than the driving business, but in the face of huge safety risks, Didi Hitch has been hesitant to resume its online service. Under the pressure, the more controllable carpooling business is likely to become the focus of Didi’s business, in order to alleviate the problem of insufficient express capacity and high prices.

　　Previously, Didi CEO Cheng Wei publicly stated, "We have not achieved profitability in six years. In the first half of 2018, the company’s overall net loss exceeded 4 billion yuan, and the entire online car-hailing industry was lossmaking."

　　"As a representative enterprise of the sharing economy, Didi’s approach of adjusting its operating model to pursue profitability should be understood." Zhang Yi, CEO of iiMedia Consulting Group, said that only by following market laws to seek profitability can companies continue to improve user experience. He believes that for the travel market, Didi is different from the traditional taxi industry. The sharing concept of carpooling can better improve idle seat resources, but the platform also needs to ensure a safe operation system to allow carpooling passengers to have a better experience.

Andy Lau endorses the Paralympic Games

　　　　Andy Lau (a star who actively promotes the Paralympic Games, the unique scenery at the Paralympic Games)

　　　　Male, born in 1961, 47 years old, image ambassador for the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games.

　　　　During the 2008 Olympic Games, he advocated for all the stars in the entertainment industry to welcome and pay attention to the Olympic Games together. From the torch relay to the Olympic closing ceremony, he sang. He did what a Chinese should do, and he threw himself into everything he did. Therefore, he became a role model for everyone.

　　　　When the Olympic Games ended, Andy Lau kept reminding everyone that there was more to be done at the Paralympic Games. Therefore, when Andy Lau promoted the Paralympic Games in various places, he had to explain the wonders of the Paralympic Games to everyone, hoping that everyone would pay attention to the Paralympic Games at the same time as the Olympic Games. Therefore, Andy Lau always wanted to cheer for the athletes without disturbing them. Under the prompt arrangement of the China Disabled Persons’ Federation, as soon as Andy finished his performance at the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games, he set off for the Paralympic Training Center in Shunyi, Beijing the next morning. The people at the center allowed Andy Lau to visit 10 practices for disabled athletes.

　　　　For an appointment four years ago, Andy Lau cancelled all other activities and showed up at the "Water Cube" as scheduled to watch He Junquan’s game. He also kept clapping his hands for his friends.

　　　　But it is precisely because of Andy Lau’s actions at the Olympic Games that we have seen the real star effect. And it is because of him that he has become another sight during the Olympic Games!

　　With the country’s strict investigation of drunk driving accidents in recent years, the chauffeur industry has become hot, especially the emerging Internet chauffeur platform is more popular among users, but there are also many users who are not completely at ease with the ability of the chauffeur. The reporter recently spent two months deep into the country’s largest Internet chauffeur platform, starting from an ordinary chauffeur, and went through multiple tests such as recruitment exams, driver training, and actual chauffeur processes. It is not easy to find that it is not easy to be a chauffeur.

　　The driving test is more difficult than the driver’s license test

　　At present, Internet driving is popular as a freelance profession. If you have nothing to do, you can come out to earn some money to supplement your family. If you have something to do, you can leave work at any time. The reporter searched for the keyword "driving" on Baidu and found that e-driving is the earliest Internet driving platform established, and it is also more formal and reliable. Therefore, he decided to "undercover" the platform to experience the driving process. The reporter himself has 8 years of driving experience and meets the requirements of at least 5 years of driving experience required by the platform, so he registered through the e-driving official website on March 23, and then took a preliminary test online. To be honest, this test is a bit "too complicated". It mainly assesses driving skills and some application scenario logic questions. A total of hundreds of test questions need to be answered, which is more difficult than the car test back then.

　　Then, after three days of waiting, the reporter finally waited for the interview notice, and went to the e-driver Beijing branch full of excitement. He saw that many of the driver masters who came to interview were waiting for the interview number. During the interview, the branch manager was like a confidant brother, telling me about the problems that may be encountered in the driver, so I should be mentally prepared. The general meaning is: "We are in the service industry, because our industry is relatively special, the customers we face are sometimes irrational, and we must do our own service well." After that, we also talked a lot about business-level knowledge, as well as the software application of the smartphone APP client.

　　Since the reporter himself was rather talkative in the interview and performed fairly steadily, the branch manager agreed to let me enter the next stage of the road test, which was located near the company. The road test was mainly taken by an examiner from a professional driving school. The test simulated the scene of a driving school. There was a feeling of taking a driver’s license test, and there was also a road test. The examiner held a scorer in his hand and scored at any time. I secretly consulted, and he said that only if he achieved excellent results in both the manual transmission and the automatic transmission assessment could he have the opportunity to become a cooperative driving master of the e-driving platform. Fortunately, in the end, he passed the relevant test and became a "certified" driving master.

　　In general, e-chauffeur has strict requirements for recruiting chauffeur masters, giving people the feeling of "devil-like" assessment. Correspondingly, its chauffeur service requirements are to provide "angel-like" services. Drivers have many years of driving experience alone, and they also need to meet many services in the customer’s chauffeur process. According to the examiner, all chauffeur masters in the platform regularly participate in the company’s internal "chauffeur star" training to improve work skills and Client Server awareness.

　　The first driving experience

　　On the first day of the reporter’s post, he experienced his first driving job in Beijing. That day, he happened to encounter a couple in Sanlitun who drank too much, and the two were arguing. After getting on the bus, I asked them where they were going. The male customer said: "Go to the second ring road first," and then drive around the second ring road. During the driving process, the male customer repeatedly said that I was driving slowly, hurry up, hurry up! The female customer said that you are driving too fast, can you drive slower? The reporter suddenly realized that the driving is so difficult, but I remember that the branch manager said to me during the interview. During the driving process, "I only look at the road ahead and don’t smell the things outside the window." I still smiled and asked, "Where are you going? We can’t keep walking around the Second Ring Road. "In the end, the customer still told me the location, and after the driving was completed, the female customer got off the car and apologized to me repeatedly. The work covered a total of 14.6 kilometers and collected 59 yuan for the driving fee, which can be regarded as a small income.

　　Service-heavy details will be recognized

　　On April 24, the reporter discussed his experience with a "colleague" at the entrance of a restaurant in the evening. Master Liu, a 48-year-old driver with 21 years of driving experience, told the reporter: "I have been driving for more than 2 years. It turned out to be a taxi driver. Now I feel that it is not easy to be a driver. I remember once a customer drank too much and vomited on the door. I bought him a bottle of mineral water. After the customer drank half of it, I got out of the car and wiped the car with the other half of the water for him. Not only did he get a tip that day, but he also got a good review the next day." After listening to him, the reporter immediately felt the importance of details in the service process.

　　It is very likely that you are driving an "insider"

　　According to Master Liu, in order to improve the chauffeur service, the e-chauffeur company has also established a "mysterious customer" department, which is mainly responsible for monitoring the service quality of the chauffeur from time to time, such as wearing work clothes and work cards, whether there are polite words after getting on the bus, checking the appearance of the vehicle, informing the current starting price and displaying the odometer throughout the process, whether it can be in place within 10 minutes, and how to deal with the customer’s discomfort. For example, if the customer says that he is uncomfortable, dizzy, headache, etc., will the chauffeur ignore it? In other words, the customer who appears in front of the chauffeur is likely to be an "insider", who is here to "secretly visit" your service quality.

　　In order to standardize the driving habits of chauffeur drivers, e-chauffeur also refers to the national road traffic safety violations cumulative points system and sets up chauffeur points. The scoring period is 12 months, and each chauffeur driver has 12 points. The customer complaint linkage mechanism, according to the specific customer complaint content, deducts the chauffeur’s chauffeur points. For each chauffeur point deducted, the driver will face being blocked. Once the chauffeur points are deducted, the chauffeur platform will lift the cooperation with the driver. This also sets a yellow line and a red line for the driver master, so that everyone can abide by the rules and protect the driving safety of customers from the system.

　　The threshold for regular driving companies is not low

　　It is understood that in people’s traditional concept of traditional chauffeur is that a few drivers who can drive can establish a chauffeur company, and even personal behavior, printing a business card in a familiar hotel, claiming to be a chauffeur company, without going through rigorous exams, nor corresponding insurance protection. The survey found that the fees of this kind of chauffeur company generally start at 200 yuan, and the waiters have a cut, generally ranging from 50 to 80 yuan.

　　With the popularity of smartphones in recent years, it has also given birth to an Internet-based driving platform such as e-driving, which has made this industry that previously seemed to have low barriers to entry more and more stringent. Through the reporter’s personal experience in the driving platform for two months, the current driving platform has greatly subverted the traditional driving industry from the way of managing drivers to the awareness of serving customers, so that the driving industry has a new development model. Now, through the driving service generated by e-driving, any problems will be dealt with by the corresponding person. For example, if there is a traffic accident, there will be a Client Server department to help the driving master communicate with the customer to deal with the solution. The company has purchased driving insurance for each master, and the maximum compensation can be 2 million yuan per transaction.

　　At the same time, the reporter started work as a part-time driver around 7 o’clock every day during the past two months, and went home around 11 o’clock. The average monthly income can reach 6,000 yuan. It can be said that an ordinary master can earn a small amount of income in the driver platform to subsidize the family.

　　Nowadays, it has become easier for users to find chauffeurs through the Internet, with more transparent prices and safer services. The future of the Internet chauffeur industry is promising.

Recently, rumors about "BYD’s new car broke its axle as soon as it was picked up" are flying all over the sky, accompanied by a group of photos of broken axles. It seems that the evidence is conclusive, which makes people believe it. For a main car that has just been listed, no matter which brand, such negative news is very "explosive", and there will definitely be countless pairs of eyeing eyes staring at you: just waiting for you to have an accident! Finally something happened, great!

What is the specific situation? It is said on the Internet that a gentleman went to the 4S shop to pick up a BYD Qin PRO during the National Day. Just one day later, the car didn’t even have a license plate. When driving to a certain section, the car suddenly had an accident. As can be seen from the circulated photos, Qin PRO’s car actually broke the axle, one side of the car tilted, and the rim looked like a ankle, which looked very funny. The occurrence of this incident made the owner very scared.

However, if you look closely at the news, you will find that it is very contradictory. There are actually two stories circulating on the Internet, the same picture, one is the owner of Guangdong, and the other is Mr. Meng from Anhui.

I don’t know, even some people from the media didn’t even figure out the basic car price. The 150,000+car was said to have been "bought for 90,000 yuan", and then they began to make up stories, just to attract attention and defraud the reading.

Xiaobian will give you a careful analysis. The picture is definitely true. Qin pro is really broken, but there are several details to say:

In the first detail, the pro logo is on the upper right corner of the rear of the production car, but the model with the broken axle in the photo does not. Anyone who has paid attention to Qin pro before knows that this is the characteristic of the test car.

The second detail, the wheel hub of the broken axle is different from that of the mass production car. The wheel hub of the broken axle is straight, but the wheel hub of the mass production car has obvious folding angle.

The third detail, the rearview mirror of the broken axle car is folded, which means that the car has been turned off and locked, indicating that the driver is not nearby. If it is really the owner, will the car be locked and left if it breaks down in the middle of the road? Obviously impossible.

Through the above three details, it can be basically confirmed that the broken axle car is a test car, not a mass production version. Some people will ask, what are we testing when the cars are on the market? Of course, we have to test it. Does it mean that the project of this car is over when the car goes on the market? Only companies that are not responsible for consumers will do this.

In order to give the public a truth, BYD officially voiced this matter for the first time, expounding the so-called "new car broken shaft" incident.

It can be seen from Guan Wei’s post that the accident vehicle is not a production model, but a test vehicle for testing, which is basically consistent with everyone’s previous inference.

Secondly, this car is not tested by BYD itself, but provided by BYD to Jiatong, a tire supplier, for tire wear test (Qin pro itself uses Michelin tires). This is a good answer to the question raised by some people, "Why are the cars still being tested?".

Thirdly, there is no so-called "broken axle" in this car, but the tire falls off because of frequent wheel replacement during the test, improper operation by the staff and irregular tire installation. The on-site investigation photos provided by BYD officials show that all five nuts on the right front wheel of the car in the incident have fallen off. According to the inspection, the transmission shaft, lower swing arm, steering knuckle and other parts of the car are in good condition, and there is no damage, and there is no so-called "broken shaft" problem.

For BYD’s response, in the face of external doubts, the investigation results and the truth of the incident were announced in time, indicating that BYD is full of confidence in this incident. In this way, the worries of the majority of riders were resolved in time, and at the same time, some people with ulterior motives were severely hit in the face.

As for whether the broken axle incident can reflect the quality problem, Xiao Bian dare not say that the broken axle of the test vehicle is a matter of course. After all, as a test vehicle, you don’t know how many kilometers it has driven before and what kind of collision it has experienced. Only the real owner has a say in the quality of the car.
