At present, the delivery fee of most takeaway platforms is 2 to 4 yuan, but sometimes the delivery fee will be 7 or 8 yuan. What is going on? Who made the money? Let’s take a look at the detailed withdrawal rules with the editor.

　　Delivery fee rules:

　　Friends who have used Meituan may know that delivery is divided into special delivery, crowdsourcing, and merchant self-delivery. Occasionally, there will be merchant self-delivery. What is the difference between these? What is the difference in charges?

　　First of all, we need to understand that the delivery fee paid by the customer is set by Meituan and charged by Meituan, and has no relationship with the merchant.

　　Secondly, different delivery methods offer different services and prices. Here are the specific analysis results:

　　1. Meituan special delivery, as the name implies, is provided by Meituan. The order is grabbed by Meituan riders, which is exclusive to internal personnel. Generally, the system dispatches orders. Meituan special delivery is the monthly salary, and the commission is also fixed. The team is regularized, the delivery speed and service are guaranteed, so the corresponding cost is the highest. The charging model is equivalent to the merchant’s commission + customer delivery fee, and the commission is relatively the highest.

　　2. Meituan crowdsourcing is a part-time delivery service. The delivery staff generally not only accepts Meituan’s orders, but also belongs to personal registration behavior. They grab orders by themselves through the Meituan crowdsourcing APP, so the delivery staff is also sufficient. For higher income, the delivery staff grabs orders in a timely manner, and the corresponding delivery speed is also possible.

　　The merchants are divided into two types: express delivery merchants and crowdsourcing merchants.

　　Meituan extracts 18% of the orders of the express delivery merchants, and the minimum order is 2.5 yuan. In addition, Meituan will provide dynamic platform subsidies and various subsidies for the express delivery merchants (no one takes the order in 10 minutes plus 1 yuan and the maximum is 2 yuan. Chengdu area is like this)

　　Meituan takes 5% of the orders of crowdsourced merchants. Only the midnight snack subsidy is 1 yuan. (The midnight snack subsidy starts after 22:00)

　　In recent years, with the continuous improvement of consumers’ demand for instant time saving, instant logistics with errands as the main form is booming, and the market scale is growing rapidly.

　　From "food delivery" to "delivery of all things", consumers’ demand for errand handling services is becoming more and more personalized and diverse, and relevant policies and measures have been introduced one after another to help the healthy and orderly development of the industry.

　　Forgot to bring items, use "errands" to help pick up and deliver; on holidays, call a "errand" to send flowers; can’t get out, place an order for "errands" to help pick up numbers… With the continuous improvement of consumers’ immediate time-saving needs, to provide non-standardized new forms of service such as intra-city pickup, purchasing goods on behalf of others, and helping with affairs – errand services are on the rise.

　　Recently, the 2022 China errand economy market insight report (hereinafter referred to as the "report") released by relevant consulting institutions shows that the market size of our country’s errand economy will reach 13.10 billion yuan in 2021, and it is expected to reach 66.40 billion yuan in 2025.

　　As a new form of service derived from instant logistics, why did errand services rise rapidly? How can we continue to stimulate market potential? In response to these questions, the reporter conducted in-depth interviews.

　　From "Delivery" to "Delivery of Everything"

　　The service scene is wider and the demand is stronger

　　"It’s so convenient to pick up the key at the door in 10 minutes, and deliver it to your parents’ house in 30 minutes!" Recently, Mr. Li from Shanghai’s Pudong New Area found that he had forgotten to return the key to the renovation of the new house to his parents. He sent a round-trip trip of nearly 30 kilometers, so he placed an order through Dada Express to run errands. "Door-to-door at an agreed time, delivered on time and safely, economical and convenient."

　　Zhang Yanyan, a *******-based Meituan errand delivery worker, feels the strong demand for errand services. "The ****** is just right, and many consumers go out to enjoy the ******. In recent days, the number ** errand orders delivered to scenic spots has risen rapidly. Since April this year, I have run errands in the urban area for more than 1,000 kilometers." Zhang Yanyan said that the errand job ** helping to deliver forgotten ID cards, picking up parasols, queuing in advance, not only brings convenience to users, but also gains the value ** helping others.

　　The "rush, busy, forget" in work and life has become a typical demand scenario for errand services. Data show that 38.4% of consumers use errands to pick up and deliver because they forgot to bring items; 37.3% of consumers use errands to buy things; in addition, the demand for queuing and sending documents is also gradually increasing.

　　At the same time, the errand service has a strong holiday attribute. More consumers send gifts and help with errand services to convey their hearts and minds on important festivals. Data show that during the "March 8th" International Working Women’s Day this year, the delivery order volume of flowers and cakes on the Dada Express delivery platform nearly doubled year-on-year.

　　From the perspective of consumer groups, consumers in first- and second-tier cities have gradually formed the consumption habit of errand services. Consumers in third- and fourth-tier cities are gradually getting used to using errand services to enjoy the convenience of life. Among them, the post-80s and post-90s use services more frequently, and have become the main force of errand consumption. With the continuous expansion of the errand market and the growth in demand in small and medium-sized cities, errand services will enter more people’s daily lives.

　　"As an important part of real-time logistics, errand services are highly efficient, non-standard, regional and complex, and are mainly used to solve consumers’ temporary needs for cross-regional services in a small range." Wang Yuehan, director of the Industrial Economic Research Department of the Development Research Center of the State Post Bureau, introduced that from the perspective of service types, errand services are roughly divided into three types of services, such as intra-city pickup, intra-city purchasing, and help services. As consumers’ income levels improve and their personalized needs increase, the application scenarios of future errand services will continue to expand to meet more immediate service needs of consumers.

　　Supply and demand continue to force in both directions

　　The growth momentum of errand services is strong

　　In just a few years, how did errand services rise rapidly and become an indispensable part of people’s daily lives?

　　From the demand side, the explosion of immediate demand and the acceleration of consumption upgrades together constitute a strong driving force for the continuous growth of errand services.

　　"From food takeaway to retail supplies, and then to errand services, consumers’ demand for timeliness in consumption is constantly improving, and errand services include picking up and delivering goods in the same city, buying and helping in the same city, etc., which can meet consumers’ needs of staying at home and saving time." According to the relevant person in charge of Dada, it is estimated that in 2022, our country’s instant delivery orders will break 40 billion orders, and the user scale will break 750 million. This trend reflects that consumers’ demands for saving time and effort have gradually become rigid demand.

　　In Wang Yuehan’s opinion, with the improvement of the income level of residents in our country and the gradual emergence of young people as the main consumer, people’s requirements for life are upgraded from meeting basic needs to pursuing quality, and they have the ability and willingness to pay for services to obtain better products and a more leisurely life.

　　From the supply side, the abundant market capacity and logistics technology innovation have strongly supported the sustainable development of errand services.

　　The boundaries of the service network continue to expand. Thanks to more flexible employment methods, many errand platform enterprises have gained a large number of employees in a short period of time through crowdsourcing, and built a relatively extensive service network to support the development of large-scale and high-frequency errand services. For example, Dada Express’s local instant delivery business covers more than 2,600 counties (districts and cities) across the country, and millions of knights provide services to consumers, establishing a full-scene service system composed of instant distribution, floor distribution, and personal distribution.

　　The real-time delivery experience continues to be optimized. Some errand services rely on platform enterprises to organically integrate business flow, logistics, and information flow. By optimizing resource allocation, they promote supply and demand docking, effectively reduce the search cost between merchants and consumers, and improve the real-time delivery logistics experience.

　　By transforming the process of traditional logistics "receiving and transporting" into the direct delivery mode of "receiving" and "sending", SF Express combines the front warehouse layout to shorten the delivery radius, achieve "average 1 hour" city-wide delivery, and improve the efficiency of item delivery; relying on the Meituan "super brain" distribution system, users can automatically complete order matching, path planning and time estimation after placing an order, estimate the delivery time for each order, assign a suitable rider, and design a suitable pickup route for the rider to ensure the consumer experience.

　　Service 15 minutes life circle

　　Towards diversification, specialization, and orderly development

　　In the interview, many companies and experts are optimistic about the development prospects of errand services in our country. They said that in the future, with the rapid development of the local life service industry and the two-way force on both sides of supply and demand, errand services will play an important role in building a 15-minute life circle and play a positive role in facilitating people’s lives and promoting the development of merchants.

　　From the initial emergence and rapid development of the catering takeaway scene, the scope of errand services has gradually expanded from catering to retail categories such as supermarkets, daily necessities, and pharmaceuticals, and further expanded to non-standardized services. Wang Yuehan believes that from "delivery" to "delivery of all things", when the habit of using errands to pick up and deliver items is basically developed, consumers have more personalized and diverse non-standard needs for errand agency services, which will further promote the horizontal extension of service types.

　　In recent years, relevant policies and measures have been introduced one after another to help the healthy and orderly development of the industry. In August 2021, the "Action Plan for the High-Quality Development of Commercial and Trade Logistics (2021-2025) " issued by the Ministry of Commerce and other 9 departments mentioned that it is necessary to improve the front warehouse distribution, store distribution, instant delivery, online order store pickup, self-service pickup and other end distribution models. In January 2022, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "14th Five-Year Plan" for the Construction of Modern Circulation System and proposed to improve urban distribution facilities and county and rural express logistics distribution systems, and improve the end network service capabilities.

　　Seizing market development opportunities, many companies continue to make efforts to distribute efficiency and service quality, and strengthen the errand economy in better meeting segmented needs. Meituan errands launched the "special person direct delivery" function, and riders only receive one order throughout the process to improve the delivery timeliness and delivery safety of goods; for key categories such as flower cakes, Dada Express is equipped with car delivery services, with an average delivery time of 20 minutes faster than electric vehicles.

　　As an emerging business, the errand economy is moving towards high-quality development, which still depends on continuously improving the service standard system and strengthening service quality inspection and evaluation. Wang Yuehan proposed that due to the wide variety and field of errand services, a regulatory mechanism should be built to adapt to the development of new business models of errand services, strengthen cross-departmental joint supervision, innovate supervision models, give full play to the role of smart supervision and credit supervision, and continuously promote the standardized development of services to create a fair and orderly competitive environment.

　　After the first phase of the announcement of the online car-hailing service rate ("commission"), Didi’s "Questions and Answers" launched the second phase of the content today, focusing on the price issues that drivers and passengers are generally concerned about. Guo Fei, technical director of Didi’s online car-hailing supply and demand strategy department, answered the factors that determine the price change of online car-hailing and solicited comments and suggestions from the public.

　　Guo Fei pointed out that, like the "fruit freedom" that has caused heated discussions in the media and netizens some time ago, the decrease in supply and extreme weather have led to the increase in the price of vegetables and fruits, and netizens have said that they cannot afford to eat fruits. The price of online car-hailing is affected by factors such as supply and demand, local consumption level, income level and energy price. Among them, supply and demand are the most important and complex factors. Passenger demand is stronger in morning and evening peaks, extreme weather, hot summer and cold, and driver willingness, compliance policies, safety and security will affect the supply of drivers. Any change in demand or supply will upset the original balance.

　　Guo Fei said that the relationship between supply and demand fundamentally determines the fluctuation of prices. Only when the demand for travel is growing rapidly, and the city continues to be in short supply and capacity shortage, the price needs to be raised. But when the supply and demand are balanced, random price increases will definitely reduce the demand for passengers to take a taxi, directly affecting the income of drivers and platforms, which also determines that Didi will not raise prices at will. Didi will continue to work hard to continuously explore the characteristics of temporal and spatial changes related to supply and demand and analyze the influencing factors, summarize the laws of supply and demand changes in the travel field; respect the market, so as to better serve users.

　　Since September last year, Didi has continued to strengthen dialogue and communication with the public, and has successively launched communication columns such as "Public Council", "Answers to Questions", and "Safe Release". Didi will continue to be open and transparent, and actively work with all sectors of society to build a safe and healthy travel ecosystem.

　　The following are the original questions and answers of Didi’s second "Ask and Answer":

　　What factors determine the price of a car on Didi?

　　(Guo Fei, Technical Director of Online Car-hailing Supply and Demand Strategy Department)

　　Passenger:

　　Taxi prices often change, so why should Didi adjust it?

　　Peak price increases, is Didi taking advantage of the fire?

　　Driver:

　　Oil prices are rising, and the air conditioner is turned on in summer. Should the fare be increased?

　　What should I do if I change the car and insurance after compliance, the cost is high and the income is less?

　　After answering the questions related to "platform service rates (commonly known as commissions) " in the last issue of "Questions and Answers", we received feedback and questions from many driver masters and passenger friends, including many of the above questions about online ride-hailing prices.

　　In fact, just like the "fruit freedom" that caused heated discussions in the media and netizens some time ago, the decrease in supply and extreme weather have led to the increase in the price of vegetables and fruits, and netizens have said that they cannot afford to eat fruits. The fluctuation of online car-hailing prices is also similar, which is affected by factors such as supply and demand conditions, local consumption levels, income levels and energy prices. Among them, the supply and demand situation is the most important and complex factor. Any change in demand or supply will upset the original balance.

　　Demand: Morning and evening peaks, extreme weather, heat and cold are more vigorous

　　There are travel tides in the city, not only is it difficult to take a taxi in the morning and evening peaks, but also in bad weather, extreme heat and cold and peak tourist seasons, using Didi to call a car will also encounter "queues", because there are more people taking a taxi at this time, and everyone hopes to travel conveniently and comfortably.

　　During the peak of the working day, or when the spring flowers are blooming and the autumn is cool, the number of people traveling by bus, subway, and bicycle will increase, and the number of people taking taxis will be relatively small. At this time, it is easier for passengers to order a car, but the driver’s perception is "less orders."

　　Supply: Affected by driver willingness, compliance policy, safety assurance, etc

　　During holidays such as the Spring Festival and National Day, drivers prefer to accompany their families or travel, rather than go out to take orders. However, in rainy days, severe road flooding or other extreme weather, for their own safety reasons and to avoid vehicle damage, the number of drivers leaving the car will also be greatly reduced.

　　Although the number of passengers taking taxis increases in summer, turning on the air conditioner will also significantly increase fuel consumption and increase additional costs. Therefore, drivers often decide whether to take orders based on their income, weather, traffic jams, etc., which also leads to constant changes in supply.

　　In addition, the implementation rules for the management of online car-hailing business services in various places have different regulations on the access of drivers and vehicles, and relatively few drivers meet this condition. Drivers change vehicles according to restrictions such as vehicle wheelbase, displacement, and vehicle price, and pay operating insurance, which also greatly increases costs, and even some drivers change careers as a result.

　　Another thing to note is that since last September, we have continued to upgrade our security, and we have intensively launched security measures such as late-night service driver standards, APP facial recognition, and in-car video recording equipment, which have also affected the supply to a certain extent.

　　Price adjustments help to ease the imbalance between supply and demand

　　When a city’s response rate continues to decline at certain times or throughout the day for a certain period of time, and the supply and demand are obviously out of balance, passengers will feel that it is difficult to get a taxi, and 3 out of every 10 taxis may not be called, as happened in Shenyang recently. When prices are appropriately raised, price-sensitive demand will be reduced, and at the same time, more drivers will be attracted and encouraged to get out of the car and go to hot spots to take orders. Supply and demand can be balanced. At present, most cities are in a state of more passengers and less drivers.

　　On the contrary, if a city has a long-term oversupply during certain periods or throughout the day, and drivers receive fewer orders for a long time, they will not be able to obtain a reasonable income. At this time, the price of online car-hailing is appropriately reduced, which not only allows passengers to get a ride at a cheaper price, but also guarantees the driver’s income. For example, in the first half of this year, the express train in Jiyuan, Henan Province, and the special car in Hefei, Anhui Province, and the special car in Urumqi, Xinjiang Province, have been oversupplied for a long time in some periods, so the starting price, mileage fee and duration fee for the corresponding period have been reduced.

　　The relationship between supply and demand fundamentally determines the fluctuation of prices. Prices need to be raised only when the demand for travel is growing rapidly, and the city continues to be in short supply and capacity shortage. But when supply and demand are in balance, random price increases will definitely reduce the demand for passengers to take a taxi, directly affecting the income of drivers and platforms, which also determines that Didi will not raise prices at will. Due to the continuous development of the economic level and urbanization process, the demand for travel and the labor and living costs of drivers in most cities continue to grow, so everyone will feel that prices have risen more and fallen less.

　　The supply and demand situation is complex and changeable, and we are still working hard to continuously explore the characteristics of spatiotemporal changes related to supply and demand and analyze the influencing factors, summarize the laws of supply and demand changes in the travel sector, and respect the market in order to better serve users.

On January 16, at the 2024 Changan Automobile Global Partner Conference, Zhu Huarong, Chairperson of Changan Automobile, responded to and shared the establishment of a joint venture with Huawei, the 2024 sales target, and recent personnel changes.

"The new joint venture between Changan and Huawei is tentatively named’Newcool ‘." According to Zhu Huarong, since August last year, the two sides have carried out multiple rounds of exchanges on the establishment of the new company. The two sides are very compatible in terms of industrial judgment, development concepts, and cooperation ideas. Therefore, in less than three months, Changan and Huawei reached a cooperation intention and signed an "Investment Cooperation Memorandum" at the end of November last year.

It is reported that the two sides are conducting transactions and cooperation agreement negotiations, and all related work is progressing smoothly as planned. The new company is mainly engaged in the research and development, design, production, sales and service of automotive intelligence systems and component solutions. The business scope includes seven major fields such as automotive intelligent driving solutions, automotive intelligent cockpit, intelligent vehicle digital platform, intelligent vehicle cloud, AR-HUD and intelligent lights. Zhu Huarong also mentioned that during the cooperation process, Huawei promised not to engage in the whole vehicle business; not to engage in the new company business; for the smart selection business, the two sides have also done good research and discussion.

In addition to the cooperation form mentioned above, Avita, a brand of Changan Automobile, and Huawei adopt the HI model (Huawei provides full-stack integrated solutions), which is also the only one among the mainstream car companies. In this regard, Zhu Huarong explained that doing so (adopting the HI model) is in line with the laws of the industry and meets the requirements of industrial policies, so that the interests of users can be fundamentally guaranteed. We and Huawei’s innovative model, strong alliances, complementary advantages, maximize their respective advantages, and form a bundle of interests. From another perspective, this is also the best result of the CHN model.

In 2023, Avita 11 and Avita 12 will be launched on the market, of which Avita 12 will make its world debut at the Munich Motor Show, and will break through 20,000 cars in the first month of listing. Avita 12 is equipped with HarmonyOS 4.0. At the same time, Avita 12 is also equipped with Huawei’s high-end intelligent driving system ADS2.0, which reduces dependence on high-precision maps and realizes a very "smart" driving experience covering all scenarios such as high-speed sections, urban sections and parking links.

As the second product of Avita and an important phased achievement of the mid-term goal of "four-year four-car", Avita 12 adheres to the product concept of "forward-looking design" and "warm technology", and will also open up a new market in the luxury coupe field, creating a unique and futuristic travel and life experience for users.

Changan and Huawei’s new company is named "Newcool". The first reaction to seeing this news is that Avita 12 is going to take off in situ. With the deep blessing of these two dads, future cutting-edge technologies should give Avita 12 priority. Looking forward to living in the family!

Andy Lau is not a "godfather" in Beijing’s "Ring" and is not afraid of "debt"

　　　　　　　 Movie Network News(Photo/Qian Jia’s memoir/Xie Yawei) "I don’t like the title of’godfather ‘, and I feel that one day I will go to jail." On May 11, "The Ring" held a media meeting in Beijing. As an investor, Andy Lau appeared with Guo Zijian and Zheng Sijie, two new directors, and Lin Jiadong, the producer. Because of his dedication to the excavation and promotion of new directors in recent years, Andy Lau has been praised by the media as the "godfather" of the new director, but Andy is very resistant to this title, bluntly saying that he feels like a gangster. When talking about the new work he invested in, Andy Lau admitted that it is like his own child. As a parent, he must lead it out to meet people, otherwise it is likely that no one will pay attention. The film will be released simultaneously in mainland China and Hong Kong on June 4.

Andy Lau is unwilling to be a new director "The Godfather" to invest in new films "Not bad money"

　　　　　　　 "Crazy Stone" attracted much attention at the beginning of its release because Andy Lau was an investor, and then its own quality made the film "out of control" with Ning Hao and Huang Bohong. Andy Lau has paid great attention to and promoted new directors in recent years. As long as he likes the script, he will invest boldly, so that many newcomers can get a platform to show their talents. Therefore, he has been praised by the media as the "godfather" of new directors. Hearing this title, Andy Lau seemed a little disgusted, "I don’t like the title of’godfather ‘, I feel like I will go to jail one day, too much like a gangster." He said that he can only be regarded as a stalwart, but his strength is limited, and he is very happy that many big companies are now paying attention to new directors.

　　　　　　　 In the past, Andy Lau and Lin Jiadong acted in many movies as partners. In "The Ring", the relationship between the two people changed, one was the boss and the other was the producer, so "asking for money" became something Lin Jiadong had to do, "He is a good boss, I will ask him for money, and he was very happy when he signed the check." Andy Lau, the boss, did it very easily. He showed up once when the film was on, and never went to the set after that. "The total investment of the film 8 million, and their budget is very well controlled. After watching the first edited film, I gave them a little money to make them do better." It seems that Andy Lau, the boss, is indeed "not bad money".

　　　　At the opening ceremony of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China presented a beautiful freehand painting of Chinese civilization to the world. Just a few hours after the emotion and passion had not yet cooled, another wonderful Chinese legend kicked off in the public area of the Olympic Park. A large-scale cultural exhibition called "China Story" was officially opened in the public area of the Olympic Park on the morning of August 9. Leaders and representatives of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee and 30 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities across the country, as well as stars such as Jackie Chan, Zhou Huajian, Mok Wen Wei, Yu Dan, sociologists and 30 representatives of folk artists appeared on the same stage to tell Chinese stories.

　　Jackie Chan burst into tears at the opening ceremony

　　At 10 am, the Chinese story and culture exhibition area in the public area of the Olympic Park unfolded a huge scroll with seals engraved with the names of 30 provinces, regions and cities, which dyed the beautiful and quiet public areas in the past with a cultural atmosphere. During the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games, more than 30 "auspicious cloud huts" will display China’s national cultural heritage and the vibrant ethnic and folk cultures of various regions through live handicraft performances and audience participation and interaction. Stars and folk artists such as Jackie Chan and Yu Dan became the biggest highlights of the opening ceremony.

　　Jackie Chan and Yu Dan, who have made Hollywood famous for Chinese kung fu and become the pride of all Chinese people, and who have become famous promoters of the revival of Sinology in the new century by promoting traditional culture, when the two heavyweight guests gathered at the opening ceremony to talk about "China’s story in the eyes of the world", they collided with a lot of ideological sparks. "We should build a small courtyard and put some things on it so that people around the world can see our Chinese culture." Jackie Chan said that he was present at the opening ceremony the night before, and he cried when the torch was lit. "This is not the first time I have cried for the Beijing Olympics. As a Chinese, the Olympic Games are held in my own country, and on such an occasion, no one can suppress the excitement. The Chinese are good, and the opening ceremony is a perfect start." Like Jackie Chan, Yu Dan, a scholar, said the opening ceremony would give the world a better understanding of Chinese culture. "I hope that Chinese culture can use the platform of the Olympic Games to go to the world and let the world see the real wonders of China."

　　Zhou Huajian and his mixed-race son sing on stage

　　"Everyone is equally useful. Volunteer, invariably. Forget yourself, and be open-minded. I am a star, embellishing the sky…" As a special pair of volunteers at the opening ceremony, Zhou Huajian and his son took the stage to sing the volunteer theme song "I am a star". Referring to his mixed-race son Zhou Houan, Zhou Huajian was very proud. "We are both volunteers for the Olympic Games. Before the opening of the Olympic Games, he had already reported to his assigned area – ‘China Story’. I heard from the staff that he was very diligent. He helped my brother and sister who were filming documentaries carry the machines every day and went out on location, which made my father a lot of light." Joining Zhou Huajian and others at the Olympic Park to help promote Chinese culture during the Olympic Games, Mok Wenwei and Sun Nan also sang passionately on stage, kicking off the "China Story".

　　According to reports, in the more than 30 auspicious cloud huts in the Chinese Story Exhibition Area of the Olympic Public Area, the best national intangible cultural heritage retained by various provinces, regions and cities will be highlighted in a space of 60 to 80 square meters. Jiangsu brocade worth tens of millions, wonderful and moving Kunqu Opera performances, interesting Shaanxi shadow puppets, hidden entrances in Chongqing face-changing, colorful and fragrant sugar paintings… The "Chinese Story" cultural exhibition activities use novel and diverse forms of display such as pictures, real objects, multimedia audio-visual arts, combined with live handicraft performances and audience participation and interaction, to vividly tell friends from all over the world about the beauty of Chinese culture.

　　Among the more than 30 auspicious cloud huts in the "Chinese Story" exhibition area, the Guangdong hut of "Yueyun Chaofeng" is quite eye-catching. In the hut, audiences from all over the world can enjoy exquisite gold wood carvings, tide embroidery, wide embroidery, wide color, ceramics, Duan inkstone and other art treasures, and experience the long-standing Lingnan culture. That morning, Vice Governor Lei Yulan attended the opening ceremony of China Story, unveiling the "Guangdong hut".

　　Among the exhibits, it was revealed, was a giant gold wood carving from Chaozhou, the "treasure of the town house" of "Guangdong Hut" – about 1.8 meters high and more than 2 meters wide, with the theme of the "Bird’s Nest" in the National Stadium, showing the moving scene of birds coming and dancing around the "Bird’s Nest".

At the same time, a number of new software and hardware technologies are loaded: the first boarding of spatial audio technology, combined with 19 units of professional-grade audio, allows users to visit the performance scene of the National Grand Theater in person; the rear HUAWEI MagLink magic suction car interface, which can be connected immediately to realize multi-device linkage, such as controlling the content watched by children on the rear tablet, front and rear team games, dual-screen access to conferences, etc., makes the Wenjie M5 Smart Driving Edition easily become the user’s exclusive study, game hall or conference room. HarmonyOS 3 also further integrates the car and mobile phone: the PC car-machine interconnection function makes the temporary office in the car more efficient; the address navigation circulation function in the mobile phone application allows the car to be navigated at a touch of the mobile phone.

In terms of power, the M5 Smart Driving Edition is equipped with HUAWEI DriveONE pure electric drive platform and HUAWEI DATS dynamic adaptive torque system and other technologies, with a pure electric battery life of 255km and a long comprehensive battery life of 1425km. In terms of space, the rear leg space of the M5 Smart Driving Edition is optimized to 870mm, allowing passengers to sit for a long time without getting tired; the trunk volume is 369L, and the rear row can be expanded to 776L after being laid down. With 3500W reverse charging, it still supports more than 800km of battery life after a week of camping in the wild, easily meeting travel needs.

The launch of the AITO Qinjie M5 series · Huawei high-end intelligent driving version not only enriches the choice of car buyers for the current AITO Qinjie models, but also elevates the intelligence of new energy vehicles to a new height, making driving more "intelligent". I believe that under Huawei’s deep empowerment, Qinjie cars will be favored by more users.

On May 7, Beijing announced a taxi fare adjustment plan, including an increase in the starting price and the charging fee per kilometer of rental. After the new plan was announced, controversy ensued. So, how is the pricing in foreign metropolises and Hong Kong? Is the pricing method affected by other factors?

Looking at some big cities, although they will be priced by mileage, the total pricing method is different, and the whole set of pricing methods in each city is unique. Don’t believe it? Then you can read it down:

Big cities in the United States: Washington, DCThe head price must be added!

There are two types of price management in the United States, one is to set the highest rate and the lowest rate, and most places implement a fixed rate.

If you want to take a taxi in Washington, D.C., then for the first 0.2 kilometers, you need to pay a starting price of about 18.4 yuan(The local currency is converted into RMB, the same below)After that, for every additional 0.2 kilometers, an additional 1.67 yuan will be charged, and in case of traffic jams, an additional 153.6 yuan will be charged per hour.

There are additional conditions for taking a taxi in Washington. If it is a taxi, an additional 6.14 yuan can be charged for the second, third and fourth passengers, up to a maximum of 18.4 yuan. Baggage is charged an additional 3.1 yuan for each passenger space. If there is a snow day that makes the road slippery, an additional 92.2 yuan will be charged.

New York’s yellow taxis start at 15 yuan, including 0.2 miles, and charge an additional 2.4 yuan for every 0.2 miles thereafter; during peak hours (Monday to Friday from 4 to 8 pm), the surcharge is 6 yuan, and the parking and waiting hour is 144 yuan.

According to the American Taxi website, in the 26 largest cities in the United States, the most expensive for the first 5 miles (about 8 kilometers) is Boston, which costs about 100 yuan, and the cheapest are St. Louis and Chicago, which cost about 50 yuan and 53 yuan respectively.

New York Taxi

Tokyo: What? You actually want to take a taxi? It’s expensive!

Taxi fares are notoriously expensive in Tokyo, Japan. Japanese people don’t usually take taxis until they have to. Basically, taxis start at 44 yuan, then 15.5 yuan per kilometer, and if calculated by the hour, you will be charged an additional 167.4 yuan for every hour of waiting. However, this is only the basic fare method. According to the data, passengers will pay different fares depending on the company where the taxi is located.

Tokyo Narita Airport to Tokyo City taxi fare is sometimes equivalent to a one-way ticket from Shanghai to Tokyo, and compatriots who come to Japan should not move their casual taxi habits in China. In addition to walking, here is basically a well-developed public transportation.

Tokyo Taxi

Hong Kong: Is it too expensive to take a taxi? Look at the color of the car!

There are three types of taxis in Hong Kong, namely "red", "green" and "blue". Of these, only the "red" can operate throughout the territory, and the other two can only operate in specific areas.

The starting fare for taxis in Hong Kong’s urban area is 15.8 yuan, and then an additional 0.8 yuan to 1.2 yuan per 200 meters will be charged depending on the length of the journey and the type of taxi color.

London: Long journey? It’s okay, I’ll just drive faster!

The London taxi fare is divided into three parts: time period, distance and time taken. The starting price is 22.8 yuan. On weekdays from 6am to 8pm, if it takes 6 to 13 minutes to cover the 1.6km distance, the minimum price must be 53.25 yuan, and the maximum price must be 83.7 yuan. But if it takes 10 to 20 minutes to cover the 3.2km distance, the price will not be stacked on a per-mile (per 1.6km) basis, but will be less than the per-mile stacking. The evening taxi fare will be higher.

London taxi pricing can be accurate to the extent planned in black and white, that is, regardless of how much time passengers actually spend on the road and how many miles they travel, according to the black and white tables in the regulations, they can check how much they should pay.

London Taxi

Paris: There is a minimum spend, and pets will be charged extra.

Taxi fares in Paris start at Rmb16 and are billed in two periods: during the day (7am-7pm) and at night (7pm-7am). During each period, passengers are charged in three ways: A, B and C, depending on the region in which they take the taxi.

The A price is the cheapest, suitable for driving in Paris during the day, and the fare is 4.8 yuan per kilometer; the B price is suitable for night time in Paris and during the day time in the suburbs of Paris, and the fare is 8 yuan per kilometer; the C price is the most expensive, suitable for night time in the suburbs and areas outside Greater Paris, and the fare is 12.8 yuan per kilometer. Each taxi has three small lights A, B and B on the top, which allows passengers to know the fare here and now.

In addition, there is a charging method based on time and speed: if the taxi speed is higher than the standard, the meter will be charged at 195 yuan per hour.

This is far from enough. In addition to the starting price and the mileage, taxi drivers can also charge extra for certain items, such as: at train stations, airports or places with special signs, you need to pay an additional 5.6 yuan; if there are more than 3 passengers, the 4th passenger needs to pay an additional 20 yuan; if there are pets, you need to pay an additional 4.8 yuan; if the passenger’s luggage exceeds 5kg, you need to pay an additional 7.20 yuan; if there are large items (such as sledges, bicycles, etc.), you need to pay an additional 7.20 yuan…

In addition, the most unaccustomed fee for foreign passengers is the "minimum consumption" of taxis. Although the starting price of taxis is 16 yuan, each taxi has a minimum consumption of 48 yuan.

Taxi pricing and living standards

There are many factors that determine the pricing standard of taxis in various cities, including government regulation, market demand and consumption index. If the consumption index of goods, restaurants, transportation, etc. in cities is used to measure the living standards of residents in various countries, then the cost of living in some Asian countries is even higher than that in European and American countries.

For example, among the countries and regions mentioned above, Japan has the highest consumer price index (CPI), reaching 115, the United Kingdom is 102, and the United States is 81. 77 in Hong Kong, China, and only 61 in mainland China.

　　[Autohome professional evaluation] Today’s introduction is Lynk & Co’s smallest SUV – 06, the specific model is the 2020 1.5T Yao Halo, its guide price is 138,600 yuan, if not the pink special edition, then it is the current top model of the whole series, the following is its test report.

◆ Comfort evaluation

　　The 180cm-tall experiencer sits in the front row, and after adjusting the seat to the lowest level, there are still 4 fingers in the head space, which is quite normal. Keep the front seat position unchanged and come to the back row, there is still 1 punch margin in the head, and 1 punch and 3 fingers in the legroom. This performance is still good for small SUVs.

　　The storage space position of (|) is more conventional, and the space cannot be considered large, such as the mobile phone slot in front of the block with wireless charging, but the mobile phone iPhone 13 Pro size cannot be completely flat on it.

　　Due to the size of the vehicle, its trunk is not much space after being packed into three suitcases of 20, 24, and 28 inches. There is a storage compartment on each side that can hold two bottles of mineral water, suitable for small items.

　　This test car is a high-end model. In addition to a complete active safety system, 19-inch wheels and front seat heating are exclusive configurations. Panoramic sunroof and automatic headlights are standard in all models. In addition, medium and high-end models also have electric tailgates, which are rare in small SUVs.

　　The paint of Lynk & Co 06 is uniform and warm, and the assembly process is also good. We selected three positions on the body to measure the left and right sheet metal joints respectively, and the difference between the two sides of several parts is not large.

　　The center console has a relatively obvious Lynk & Co family design, and the materials used have always been Lynk & Co’s specialty. The mix and match of various materials and colors makes this small SUV look neither monotonous nor cheap.

　　The color and material of this Lynk & Co 06 seat give people a very novel feeling. The front seat is thick, the hardness is moderate, and the wrapping is also good. The headrest of the rear seat is softer than expected, but the seat cushion is slightly shorter.

　　The rear child seat interface of Lynk & Co 06 is not on the bright side. When connecting, you need to extend the seat connector into the opening left by the seat surface. Fortunately, it is not very deep. In addition, due to the small area of the back door, you still need to pay a little attention when handling the seat.

　　The sound insulation of the Lynk & Co 06 is not very good. In fact, the sound of the engine is really low. The main source of noise is the floor. After the speed exceeds 60km/h, the tire noise is transmitted into the car, which is more obvious. And when the driver’s side A pillar reaches a speed of about 80km/h, a slight whistle will begin to appear.

　　The maximum power of the 1.5T three-cylinder engine is 177 horsepower, 255 Nm, and it is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox. The temperature on the day of the test is 21 ° C, and the starting speed can reach a maximum of 3800rpm when accelerating. After turning off the ESC, the front wheels are obviously slipping, and the speed of 1st gear up and 2nd gear is slow, which affects some speeds. After 5 ejections, the oil temperature of the gearbox rises, and the starting speed can only reach a maximum of 2000rpm. Although the starting speed will return to normal after a few minutes of heat dissipation, the shift time will still be advanced. The 1st gear will be up at about 4000rpm, and the final 0-100km/h fastest time is 8.9 seconds.

　　Although you will feel that the speed of 1st gear up and 2nd gear is slow during the test, you will not feel that the downshift is very slow in the rhythm of daily driving. The power response of Lynk & Co 06 is relatively positive, and the mid-to-late acceleration is also relatively powerful in the same class, which can also be reflected in the midway acceleration results.

　　The smoothness of this dual-clutch transmission is really good. During a few days of driving, whether it is at high or low speed, there has been almost no noticeable setback in shifting gears. It’s just that when the brakes are loosened at the start, the combination is still not as dry as the AT.

　　The steering wheel is light, and the front of the car responds quickly to the steering wheel, which makes the driver feel very dexterous. The directivity is not comparable to that of a performance car, but at least the direction of the front of the car is in line with the driver’s expectations.

　　The ESC of Lynk & Co 06 will automatically turn on after the speed exceeds 70km/h, and there will be no torque steering, whether it is in a static acceleration test or when the accelerator is pushed to the bottom during driving.

　　The suspension is relatively resilient at the beginning, and daily driving will feel that the dynamic response of the body is more positive, but the overall adjustment is still more comfortable. When steering rapidly and sharply, the suspension compression is still more obvious, and the continuous pile winding test will show a trend of understeering.

　　Suspension for small bumps will remove excess annoying vibration, retaining a considerable part of the road feeling, the whole process is relatively straightforward, and the sense of advanced in the same class is more prominent.

　　The braking force of Lynk & Co 06 can be fully released in the early stage of braking, and the foot feel is also easy to adapt to. The average score of 10 tests is 37.23 meters, which is remarkable. It is also worth mentioning that after 10 consecutive tests, the braking system did not experience thermal attenuation.

　　The compact body layout gives it a very flexible side in the fast-paced driving process. The suspension can provide sufficient support in the face of rapid center of gravity transfer, and the steering feel is light, but the pointing speed is relatively positive, with clear pointing feedback. The intervention of the electronic assistance system is relatively linear. When entering the B zone in the A zone, the system will only exert a slight force, and the vehicle can easily enter the B zone with good controllability. In the B zone, the electronic assistance began to intervene vigorously. After effectively reducing the speed, it easily completed the test, and the final passing speed was 70.4km/h.

　　As an SUV, the Lynk & Co 06’s sitting position is still higher than that of the car, the rear window is not tilted at a large angle, the size of the rearview mirror is normal, the field of vision is good, and there is no discomfort.

　　Lynk & Co 06’s passive safety configuration is uniform across the entire system. In addition to the most basic main and co-pilot airbags, front and rear side air curtains and front side airbags are standard. For small SUVs, this should be praised.

◆ Economic evaluation

　　The price has always been the advantage of Chinese brands, this 1.5T Yao Halo guide price is 138,600 yuan, its configuration is quite rich, driving texture and the quality of the car are good, to know this price if you buy Honda Bing Zhi, you can’t even buy 1.5L high-end.

　During the fuel consumption test, we turned on the air conditioner at 23 degrees Celsius and drove 103.5km at an average speed of 31km/h, consuming a total of 9.83L of fuel and measuring an average fuel consumption of 9.5L/100km. This is indeed not fuel-efficient for a small SUV. The lack of automatic start-stop function also affects fuel consumption to a certain extent.

◆ Intelligent evaluation

　　Lynk & Co 06’s adaptive cruise and lane keeping were only available on high-end models. In actual use, the ACC was easy to operate, followed the car at a suitable distance, and the deceleration when there was a car jammed was relatively linear. However, the level of the lane keeping assistance system was still relatively basic, and the vehicle could not keep driving in the middle of the lane at all times, but would only slightly correct the direction after frequent contact with the lane line.

　　Lynk & Co 06 uses a dual 10.25-inch screen configuration and is standard on the whole series. The car has rich functions and a lot of online content, but the car interface is a little cumbersome, and there are occasional cards when sliding. The voice control system has a high recognition rate for commonly used instructions such as navigation or music information retrieval.

◆ Summary

● Comfort evaluation

　　The comfort part of Lynk & Co 06 scored 18.5 points, much higher than the average score of 11.75 points in the same class. On the one hand, the interview driving is the top model, and the configuration part scored higher. In addition, the workmanship and materials of the whole vehicle are better in the same class, while the noise part should be said that 06 is not doing well, but the same class is generally worse.

Dynamic evaluation

　　　The dynamic part of the Lynk & Co 06 scored 11.5 points, and the same class scored 10.75 points. Since the same class is basically not equipped with four-wheel drive, this part of the score is 0, so we will skip it. The Lynk & Co 06’s acceleration score gives it an above-average score in the engine section, and the steering and driving comfort are also better than average. The lower score is the transmission.

● Safety evaluation

　　The safety part of Lynk & Co 06 scored 13.44 points, higher than the average of 11.68 in the same class. On the one hand, its good braking performance earned it points, and the number of airbags also had an advantage in the same class.

● Economic evaluation

　　The economic part of Lynk & Co 06 scored 4.76 points, lower than the average of 6.16 points in the same class. Its price is more advantageous than that of a number of joint venture models, but the fuel consumption is seriously hindered. In addition, the whole series does not automatically start and stop, and it also loses points in the environmental protection part.

● Intelligent evaluation

　　The intelligent part of Lynk & Co 06 scored 15.4 points, higher than the average of 13.8 points in the same class. The high-end model has a more complete active safety configuration, and the performance of the multimedia system is also slightly higher than that of the same class.

● AH-100 total score

With a year-on-year increase of 97.4%, BYD sold 207,080 units in March, which is still so strong. Among them, there are 103,419 DM hybrid vehicles and 102,670 EV pure electric vehicles.

BYD Qin sold more than 40,000 units, and 998 was really cruel. BYD sold more than 40,000 sets in Song and January, and dolphins sold more than 30,000 sets for the first time. According to this growth trend, BYD’s sales in March will probably exceed the sum of the sales of North and South Volkswagen.

In fact, this node was very subtle in March. In March last year, BYD announced in a high-profile manner that it would stop producing fuel vehicles. A year later, it took the overlord of the fuel vehicle era, North and South Volkswagen, out of the horse. It was really something.

It is worth mentioning that Tengshi Automobile sold more than 10,000 vehicles with one model, reaching 10,398 vehicles, an increase of 42% from the previous month. To be conservative, this sales volume is actually likely to beat GL8 to win the domestic MPV sales crown in March. Moreover, the average transaction price of Tengshi D9 is 415,000 yuan, which exceeds many domestic competing products, which also shows the product strength of this car.

In order to avoid it, some people say, how come I haven’t seen Tengshi D9 on the road? Something like that. We calculated the sales volume of Tengshi D9 from last October to now, which is about 34,000 vehicles. The frequency of cars on the road is related to the number of cars, but has little to do with monthly sales. Moreover, their new racing SUV Tengshi N7 has also been officially unveiled recently, and the product sequence continues to be enriched.

This year, BYD’s sales target is to guarantee 3 million vehicles and sprint 3.6 million. If you want the sales volume to continue to grow, the models should cover a wider consumer group. Recently, BYD’s F-series hard-core off-road vehicles also have new news. The "2316" posted on the body was officially revealed: 2 stands for front and rear dual motors, 3 stands for three differential locks, front and rear locks+electric locks, and 1 stands for a brand-new off-road platform, which should refer to the Yunqi system released some time ago. 6 means that the new car will be released in June.

According to this rhythm, it is not impossible to drive BYD to cross-country at the end of the year. Don DM-p burst into tears and finally had a big brother.

The other is about Seagull. Just last month, BYD released the official map of Seagull, which means that Seagull will soon open up a small pure tram market for BYD and become a new sales growth point. At the same time, BYD will continue to transport vehicles overseas this year.

Next, there are Qin PLUS EV Champion Edition, Song PLUS Champion Edition, the new Song Pro DM-i and other new cars to meet with you. Whether BYD can rush to 3 million vehicles this year, let’s wait and see.
