Mao Zedong told astronauts not to be proud and to launch more Chinese satellites

Meeting with representatives of the development and launch of satellites

Inspire the people of the whole country

On the night of the first International Labor Day in the 1970s, Mao Zedong met with representatives of the development and launch of Long March rockets and Dongfanghong satellites on the Tiananmen Gate, reflecting his concern for the aerospace industry and his encouragement to astronauts.

After the satellite launch was successful, Zhou Enlai arranged for the development and launch personnel to participate in the observation of the Tiananmen Gate Tower on the evening of the "May Day" International Labor Day.

▲ On May 1, 1970, Chairperson Mao received representatives of the personnel who developed and launched the "Dongfanghong-1" satellite

Warmly shake hands with the delegates, express condolences and congratulations

The seats of the delegates were carefully arranged at the exit of the elevator on the west side of the city building, which is where the central chiefs have to go back and forth. That night, Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai and others accompanied Prince Sihanouk to the Tiananmen Gate Tower, and Chinese and foreign guests celebrated the festival of working people all over the world.

The leading comrades who specifically organized the implementation of the task, as well as the representatives of the research and development and launch test units, stood in formation on the long corridor to the right of Tiananmen Gate to watch the celebration.

Zhou Enlai guided Mao Zedong to the front of the team and introduced:

Chairperson, they are the staff representatives of the development and launch of satellites, and they just arrived in Beijing yesterday.

Mao Zedong smiled and happily shook hands with the delegates one by one, expressing his cordial condolences and congratulations.

The films shot by photographers back then left us with precious images, the excited smiles of astronauts and the images of shouting slogans, which have been indelibly recorded in the history of the development of New China and the struggles of astronauts.

The second handshake and the long viewing ceremony made the astronauts unforgettable

After the party, when Zhou Enlai led Mao Zedong to withdraw, he walked past the representatives of the satellite launch, who competed to shake hands with Mao Zedong for the second time.

At that time, Liu Fuyu, the leader of the electrical measurement team of the satellite assembly workshop who did not catch up with the first handshake, recalled this incident decades later:

By the time they arrived at Tiananmen Gate, the party had already begun.

Qian Xuesen said regretfully:

Chairperson Mao has already received our delegation, but you missed it.

Unexpectedly, Mao Zedong received the delegation for the second time, and he finally shook hands with Chairperson Mao happily.

The satellite launch was successful! Mao Zedong offered his condolences to Qian Xuesen’s team at the Tiananmen Gate and shook hands one by one.

There was another detail that also left a deep impression on the astronauts who attended the party. On the night of "May Day", Mao Zedong spent a long time in Tiananmen Square.

According to Wang Shengyuan, who was in charge of satellite surveying and received by Mao Zedong at the time, he recalled:

I remember Wei Tongtai (the head of the Seven Aircraft Department) said at the time that he had participated in three such celebrations. The first two times, Chairperson Mao left before the fireworks were released. This time Chairperson Mao was very happy and left after all the fireworks were released.

Mao Zedong cordially received the successful personnel who developed and launched satellites, which inspired the fighting spirit of the vast number of astronauts and encouraged the construction of a modern socialist power.

Tell the astronauts not to be proud

To launch more Chinese satellites

After China’s first satellite was launched, Mao Zedong brought up the topic of satellites many times in his conversations with foreign guests over the past two years.

The central idea we read from this is that China has only launched one satellite, which is nothing. Mao Zedong’s arguments at the time were quite intriguing.

Wang Zhanhua, a satellite launch representative who attended the "May Day" Tiananmen ceremony, recalled:

Chairperson Mao said to the people that there are more than 2,000 satellites in the sky, and we are only one in 2,000! Even if there are 2,000 satellites, we can’t be proud, otherwise we will go to the opposite side. This is a lesson. All of us were deeply encouraged and promptly organized all units to study Chairperson Mao’s instructions carefully.

The 2013 "Chronicle of Mao Zedong" revealed similar words from later Mao Zedong, and more than one time. Mao Zedong’s words are slightly different and his meaning is slightly different.

There are so many satellites rotating in the sky, and the Chinese satellite is not a big deal

"Not so much admiration" for China’s satellite launch. On July 13, 1970, Mao Zedong met with a French government delegation. When the guest said that President Pompidou admired China’s scientific efforts, Mao Zedong said:

Just started, experimental. China is not a big country, I don’t believe it when the newspapers say it.

When Bettencourt said she admired China for releasing its own satellites, Mao Zedong said:

I don’t admire it that much, it’s nothing. Because there are so many satellites in the sky, all of them belong to those two countries. What do our countries count as two satellites?

The word used here is "not so admired", which is a reversal of the idea that guests "admire China very much," so it is "nothing". It is "pitiful" to think that launching a satellite is "pitiful". It is said that foreigners "always blow us away".

On September 23, 1970, during a meeting with Vietnamese leaders, he said:

China is not a big country, but a medium country. I debated this issue with France Bettencourt. In a way, we are not even as good as France. How can we be considered a big country?

He always boasted to us that you put a satellite in the sky. I said there are so many satellites in the sky every day, and we only have one, what is it?

The word used here is "what"! Westerners always exaggerate. This conversation can also provide a footnote to our understanding of the debate on "admiration" and "disadmiration" in the July 13 conversation.

Mao Zedong receives foreign guests

Launching a satellite is very pitiful, worrying about how to improve the economy

On July 20, 1970, Mao Zedong met with Congolese guests and said:

There are too many people in China, which is not commensurate with economic development. You are worried about your economy now, and we are also worried about how to improve it. It is not about building a few atomic bombs and launching a few satellites, which is very pitiful. There are many man-made satellites in this sky, all of which are owned by the United States and the Soviet Union. Only France and Japan have run up there. Recently, China has run up one.

The word "pitiful" is used after enumerating the first few countries to launch satellites, and asking "how to get the economy going" is the important question. Humbly put "only two".

On the evening of July 10, 1972, during a meeting with French Foreign Minister Schumann at Zhongnanhai Swimming Pool, Mao Zedong said of the tensions between China and the Soviet Union:

You hit yours, I’ll hit mine. We’ll use the same method we used to hit Chiang Kai-shek and the Japanese.

There are not as many atomic bombs as the Soviet Union, and we only put two satellites in the sky.

The phrase used here is "only two", at a time when China’s space program is in full swing.

Using the afterglow of life to illuminate the future of China’s aerospace industry

In his later years, Mao Zedong’s health and energy were getting worse, but his gaze still did not leave China’s aerospace progress.

When the Dongfanghong satellite was in full swing, on June 17, 1968, Mao Zedong approved the development of the ocean-going survey ship project, code-named "718 Project", which was later named after Mao Zedong’s handwritten poem "Far View" by Marshal Ye Jianying. They participated in the measurement and control tasks of almost all major space activities after launching long-range carrier rockets into the Pacific Ocean (code-named "580 Project").

China’s first ocean-going survey researchers work on deck

On July 14, 1970, Mao Zedong read the National Defense Science and Technology Commission’s "Plan Report on Astronaut Selection" and directed the launch of China’s manned spaceflight program, code-named "714 Project", which was an early rehearsal of China’s manned spaceflight program.

On March 31, 1975, Mao Zedong read the "Report on the Development of Satellite Communication Problems in our country", code-named "Project 331", which led to the "Dongfanghong No. 2" communications satellite that later jumped 36,000 kilometers away from the earth.

On November 26, 1975, the ill Mao Zedong reviewed the report of our country’s launch of remote sensing satellites, and then reviewed the relevant information sent back by the satellites.

Mao Zedong’s earnest instructions and aerospace layout have made the vast number of astronauts modest and cautious, making persistent efforts to promote China’s aerospace industry to make great strides into space.



▲ Chairperson Mao at the meeting

Nowadays, two tapes of "The East is Red" music from space lie quietly in the display case of the Comrade Mao Zedong Memorial Hall, telling the touching story to future generations.

The music of "The East is Red" sings the song in the chest of Chinese astronauts, accompanied by the rhyme of building a aerospace power, and becomes a lasting song of singing China’s aerospace and Chinese dreams.

The emotions and longing of the Chinese people expressed in "The East is Red" complement each other with the great Chinese road, Chinese strength and Chinese spirit, and compose a beautiful movement of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!

Jackie Chan is on the Internet again?

 The author of this article is @North of the Xiaowan family

Find everyone’s spiritual corner in the movie

Jackie Chan, who has been popular for more than 30 years, has once again set off a second wave of innovation on the Internet.

If you search for "Jackie Chan persuading you to learn" in Bilibili, you will get a lot of auto-tune remix-themed videos based on "Jackie Chan persuading you not to play games", which have accumulated more than 10 million views.

The content of these videos is mostly based on a program called "Jackie Chan Says".

In the show, Jackie Chan persuaded everyone of the dangers of the game: "In the game, no matter how powerful you are, it is fake, so don’t be obsessed with the power in the game, you must study hard and gain wisdom."

But the next second of the auto-tune remix-themed video was "sudden change of style", and immediately switched to various games endorsed by Jackie Chan. What "Mage control is strong, frost seconds are all over the audience.", "This game is really fun" and other game slogans are endless, which caught people off guard.

Original author of the video @ElizabethRat

The contrast between Jackie Chan in these two clips is not only interesting, but also sets off a wave of nostalgia. Everyone wants to know where this "Jackie Chan said" originated.

It turns out that this "Jackie Chan persuasion" is from the 2017 animation work "New Jackie Chan Adventures". After the animation is broadcast, Jackie Chan will personally appear at the end of the film to interact with the children and dictate the educational "Jackie Chan said".

Although "The Adventures of the New Jackie Chan" did not attract much attention, the familiar name and the scenes where Jackie Chan appeared in real life after each episode still evoked many childhood memories of the post-80s and 90s.

I believe that many young viewers, like Xiao Wan, grew up watching the cartoon "Jackie Chan Adventures".

The animation "Jackie Chan Adventures", which began broadcasting in North America in 2000, tells the story of Jackie Chan and his niece Xiaoyu exploring various mysterious and suspenseful mysteries around the world.

The animation combines Chinese kung fu, Japanese bushido, and Western fantasy, as well as superpowers and zodiac signs, making "Jackie Chan’s Adventures" not just a personal promotion for martial arts star Jackie Chan, but more like a cultural export to the world.

Even in today’s perspective, "Jackie Chan’s Adventures" can still be said to be unconventional and interesting, so much so that on today’s Internet platforms, there are still many hot stories about this animation.

For example, the villain Ah Fu’s move "Crow flies on a plane" and Xiaoyu’s lines such as "defeat magic with magic" have once become the memes of many netizens.

And even the "Q & A session" at the end of "Jackie Chan Adventures" has become an important source of inspiration for "Jackie Chan Said" now.

As an animated film featuring movie stars, Jackie Chan naturally appears at the end of each episode to spread positive energy.

However, compared to the too straightforward reasoning in "Jackie Chan said", the old animation gives an interesting interpretation of "revealing movie stars".

First of all, the timing of Jackie Chan’s answering questions is very casual, sometimes on the movie set, sometimes after Jackie Chan has finished practicing kung fu, this kind of inadvertent and interesting conversation has narrowed the distance between Jackie Chan and the audience.

Secondly, the questions in the animation are also quite interesting, such as "Did you do all the stunts in the movie yourself?" "How did you stay in shape?" "Did you work with Bruce Lee?" etc. These questions are obviously asked from the perspective of a movie lover.

And Jackie Chan’s answer is also quite interesting, telling a lot of secrets about the film stage and behind the scenes, allowing the audience to enjoy the animation while also understanding the art of film specials, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Finally, what Xiao Wan wants to say is that Jackie Chan’s ability to win the love of audiences of all ages is inseparable from his efforts to show his true side to the audience.

Although Jackie Chan is no longer as brave as he used to be, he still holds a significant weight in the minds of today’s young people.

"Jackie Chan’s persuasion to learn" is by no means a ruthless fool, but a different tribute from young people to this kung fu superstar.

Infection expert Ye Feng: Shaanxi epidemic as a whole shows a continuous input outside the province, multi-chain and multi-regional transmission trend in the province

  

       On November 20, Ye Feng, chief physician of the Infectious Diseases Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Jiaotong University, said that after the introduction of the "20 optimization measures", some people have misread the idea of opening up, "lying flat", and even relaxing personal protection. These ideas and practices are unacceptable.

  In the past few days, many prefectures and cities in our province have reported local epidemics. Some prefectures and cities are in a stage of rapid rise, and there is a high risk of transmission and diffusion. As a whole, the epidemic situation in the province is complex and severe. At the same time, it is currently in a period of high incidence of respiratory diseases in autumn and winter, and it may face the risk of superimposed epidemics of various respiratory diseases this winter and next spring. In addition, the Omicron mutant strain has the characteristics of fast transmission, strong stealth and strong infectious. If personal protection is relaxed, it is equivalent to giving up the first protective barrier, and the consequences are unimaginable.

  "During the epidemic, it is necessary to distinguish between different places and take targeted protective measures." Ye Feng suggested.

  During community activities: try to avoid crowds gathering

  During the epidemic, residents should try to avoid crowds when walking in the community. When wearing masks, they must cover the mouth, nose and chin, and the nose clip should be compacted to ensure the protective effect. After using community fitness equipment, seats and other public facilities to go home, they should do a good job of hand hygiene in time, and give priority to using flowing water and soap or hand sanitizer to scrub carefully. When unsure whether your hands are clean, avoid touching the mouth, nose and eyes with your hands. Communities that are temporarily sealed and managed should also cooperate with other community management measures.

  When going out to work: fulfill the "two points and one line" requirements

  During the epidemic, working residents should fulfill the requirements of "two points and one line" and strictly take personal protective measures; during going out, do not gather, eat together, and do not enter crowded public places. On the way out, try to avoid taking public transportation. If you take public transportation, please take personal protection throughout the process and keep a safe distance. When waiting and riding the elevator, be sure to wear a mask in a standardized manner and throughout the process. When riding the elevator, do not directly touch the elevator car wall and buttons, do not talk to others, and wash your hands in time after exiting the elevator.

  When shopping in supermarkets and vegetable stores: choose the nearest shopping point and travel on the wrong peak.

  When going to supermarkets, vegetable stores and other places to shop, it is best to make a shopping list in advance, choose the nearest shopping point, and travel on staggered peaks. When entering public places such as supermarkets and vegetable stores, it is necessary to cooperate with epidemic prevention measures such as temperature measurement, bright code, and scanning code. Wear a mask throughout the process, and avoid pulling down the mask to communicate with the stall owner and taste food. Do not use your hands to directly contact your eyes, mouth, and nose. Quickly select materials, shorten your stay time, and avoid going to shelves and stalls where crowds gather. Try to choose self-checkout, contactless payment, and other methods for settlement. After purchasing home, it is recommended to do a good job of hand hygiene in time, and use soap and hand sanitizer to wash your hands.

  When receiving takeaway and express delivery: try to put it at a fixed location for contactless handover.

  During the epidemic, residents should raise awareness of protection, wear masks when sending and receiving express deliveries and takeaways, and minimize direct contact with delivery personnel. Try to put them in a fixed location for non-contact handover. Disinfect the outer package of the courier with disinfectant wipes or 75% alcohol or chlorine disinfectant (such as 84 disinfectant). Disinfect your hands after unpacking, and then take out the items. It is best not to take the outer package home. When you go back indoors, wash your hands carefully as soon as possible, and wipe the inner packaging of takeaways or couriers with disinfectant wipes. Also note that unpacking tools, transfer tools, such as trolleys, and pens and mobile phones used in the receipt process also need to be disinfected.

  During construction work: wear a mask throughout the process, do not hang out, do not chat

  During the epidemic period, when entering the construction area, do a good job of temperature measurement and scanning codes as required, wear masks throughout the process, strengthen ventilation and ventilation, do not hang out or chat, perform hand hygiene in a timely manner, and carry out activities such as dining and changing clothes in batches and time periods. Keep one meter line and do not gather during non-construction periods. Construction sites, machinery and equipment, offices, dormitories, canteens and other areas shall be cleaned and disinfected regularly in accordance with regulations. Advocate construction sites and other personnel-intensive units to strengthen the "point-to-point" management of staff work and food and lodging places. For employees returning to work outside the province (districts and cities), nucleic acid tests shall be carried out for 3 consecutive days, and health monitoring in a separate area shall be carried out.

  Office time: Strengthen ventilation and keep the office environment clean and tidy

  When entering the work area, do a good job of temperature measurement and scanning the code as required. When the room is well ventilated and there are few people, you don’t need to wear a mask, don’t hang out, don’t chat, and try not to take the elevator. Strengthen ventilation and ventilation, and perform hand hygiene in a timely manner. Reduce direct contact between staff, encourage the use of paperless office, wash your hands in time after touching public facilities or other people’s belongings or rub your hands with hand sanitizer. Reduce the frequency of meetings, shorten the meeting time, and use network video conferencing and other methods. When there are dense people and there are people from other units participating in the meeting, it is recommended to wear a mask throughout the process. When eating in the cafeteria of the unit, try to eat at different peaks and times, reduce dine-in

  When taking public transportation by taxi: wear a mask throughout the journey

  When taking public transportation such as buses and subways, you should wear a mask throughout the process and reduce contact with others. When sneezing or coughing, cover with a tissue or elbow arm; pay attention to hand hygiene, reduce unnecessary touching, and avoid touching the mouth, eyes, and nose with unclean hands. Pay special attention not to eat or drink on public transportation. Pay attention to passengers and drivers during the taxi and online car-hailing period. Wear masks throughout the process, and open windows frequently for ventilation. After taking public transportation, take off the mask, disinfect your hands with hand sanitizer or alcohol-containing hand sanitizer, and place your outer clothes in a ventilated place. According to national requirements, inter-provincial mobile personnel also need to take planes, high-speed railways, trains, inter-provincial long-distance passenger buses, inter-provincial passenger ships and other means of transportation with negative nucleic acid test certificates within 48 hours. After arriving at the destination, they must carry out "landing inspection" according to the requirements of the territory. Those who stay in hotels and enter tourist attractions need to check the health code and the negative nucleic acid test certificate within 72 hours.

  When seeking medical attention: Patients with fever should go to the nearest fever clinic in time

  When going to the medical institution, prepare a mask, disinfectant wet tissue or hand sanitizer. Patients with self-tested fever should wear a mask when seeking medical treatment, avoid contact with other personnel, go to the fever clinic for medical treatment, and avoid taking public transportation. Wear a mask throughout the medical treatment. When waiting and queuing, keep a distance of more than 1 meter from others, and try to choose stairs to walk. After returning home from the medical institution, wash your hands with hand sanitizer (or soap) running water or rub your hands directly with quick-drying hand disinfectant, change your outer clothes and wash them as soon as possible.

  In school: Take the initiative to cooperate with prevention and control requirements and do a good job in self-health monitoring

  Faculty, staff (including teachers and logistics service personnel such as canteens, cleaning, security and dormitory management) and students should actively cooperate with the school’s prevention and control requirements, and do a good job of self-health monitoring. Those with suspicious symptoms such as fever and dry cough should seek medical attention in time. Teachers and students should prepare masks, disinfectant wet wipes or hand sanitizer. On the way to and from school, it is recommended to use transportation methods such as walking, cycling, and driving private cars as much as possible in accordance with the "two points and one line" requirements, and take personal protection when taking public transportation or school buses. During school, students are advised to pay attention to personal hygiene and do hand hygiene in a timely manner, and avoid touching the mouth, eyes, and nose with unclean hands. At this stage, it is necessary to pay attention to avoid outsiders from entering the student classrooms and dormitories. At the same time, strengthen the cleaning and ventilation of classrooms and dormitories, and maintain good indoor environmental hygiene and hand washing facilities. School gate guards, cleaning staff and canteen staff should wear masks.

How to manage online car-hailing abroad: UK drivers must have legal work status

  In the past few days, many provinces and cities in China have successively issued management norms for online car-hailing, and the "Beijing People, Beijing Car" and "Shanghai Car" represented by Beijing and Shanghai have aroused a lot of discussion.

  In fact, both at home and abroad, online car-hailing has been controversial since its inception. Take Uber as an example. Although it has entered many countries, it has also attracted many legal disputes. Some cities in France, Japan, Belgium and other countries do not even allow Uber and other online car-hailing software to provide taxi services in the local area. At the same time, some countries and cities recognize the legal status of online car-hailing.

  Janice Griffiths, a professor at Suffolk University Law School in the United States, said in an interview with the Beijing Times reporter that despite the opposition of traditional taxi industry practitioners, it is obviously not a wise move for government departments to ban online car-hailing services. At the same time, as many places have introduced management measures for online car-hailing, Griffiths said that the management of online car-hailing and traditional taxis may eventually be merged into one.

  □ London, UK

  Drivers must undergo rigorous review when applying for a license

  Dan Maiskell, the press officer of the London Transport Bureau, told the Beijing Times that in London, if a private car wants to carry passengers, the driver’s own vehicle needs to apply for a license from the Transport Bureau, and only licensed people and cars can engage in this industry.

  In addition, for drivers, applicants must be at least 21 years old, have a legal driver’s license and drive for more than three years, and must also "have the legal status to live and work in the UK"; at the same time, the Transport Bureau also requires applicants to be of good character. To prove this content, applicants need to undergo a criminal record check, and those without records can apply. In addition, applicants must also be in good health and undergo necessary medical examinations.

  Only those who meet the above conditions can apply for a license. To apply for a license, you need to register an account with the official website of the Department of Transport and then fill in a series of forms. At the same time, applicants must also pass a test on information about London’s terrain and road conditions. Only tour guides and those who have previously passed such exams or taxi driver tests are exempt from this test.

  Applicants also have to pay an application fee of about £300, including the cost of some forms and the cost of various tests. The Department of Transport also stipulates that licensed drivers must wear corresponding badges and must carry disabled people without pay.

  As of October 9, 2016, Transport for London had issued a total of 113,099 private driver licenses and 83,438 private hire vehicle licenses. Maiskell said this number continues to increase.

  In order to ensure the orderly operation of the taxi market, there are also some local practices in the management of road sections in London, such as dedicated bus lanes, where black taxis can be shared. In addition, there are also special sections for black taxis (traditional London taxis with black appearance) to stop and pick up passengers at train stations or airports. In these places, online taxis cannot be occupied. At the same time, taxis can be beckoned to stop immediately, while online taxis can only be booked in advance.

  According to Mr. Messkell, the main difference between London taxi drivers and ride-hailing drivers is their knowledge of London. Taxi drivers often pass a rigorous test, have a good understanding of the city’s terrain, can memorize the names of 25,000 streets, and are familiar with landmarks within a six-mile radius around Charing Cross Road. While ride-hailing drivers have undergone relevant tests, the requirements are not as strict as the aforementioned taxi drivers.

  New York, USA

  New rules define "transport internet company"

  In New York, private cars that want to carry passengers also need to apply for a license from the New York Department of Transportation. According to requirements, applicants for licenses must be at least 19 years old, and within 15 months from the latest violation record, the driver’s license can not deduct more than 5 points.

  At the time of application, you need to provide your driver’s license and various relevant documents to the transportation department, including driving skills certificates, etc. At the same time, you need to complete a drug test and go to the relevant department to enter your fingerprints. Applicants also need to undergo a series of training courses, including how to provide services to people with disabilities, determine whether there is human trafficking, and complete a total of 24 hours of courses. After the applicant submits the form, the transportation department will evaluate the applicant’s background, including their driving violations and whether there is any illegal behavior. At the same time, drivers must also have purchased qualified insurance and a valid registered local vehicle.

  At present, drivers in New York must have this license. At the same time, in response to the increasing popularity of online ride-hailing services in recent years, the New York Department of Transportation issued a new rule in June 2015, which defines online ride-hailing service providers as "transportation internet companies".

  According to regulations, private vehicles joining the ride-hailing platform company must complete a comprehensive safety inspection including 19 vehicle parts in accordance with regulations before providing services. After that, the platform company is obliged to ensure that the vehicle is subject to the same inspection every year and keep inspection records for review. At the same time, heavily modified vehicles are prohibited from being used in ride-hailing operations.

  Janice Griffiths, a professor at Suffolk University School of Law, told the Beijing Times that many states in the United States have now recognized the legal status of online car-hailing, and there are also relevant requirements for drivers engaged in the industry, but there is no specific requirement that drivers must be local or similar requirements.

  New Delhi, India

  The federal government can set a price ceiling

  In October 2015, the Ministry of Roads and Transport of India issued the "Guiding Opinions on the Regulation of Online Car-hailing." According to the requirements of this guidance, all vehicles of online car-hailing platforms cannot cruise to pick up customers, and will be managed by the classification of rental and cruise. At the same time, these platforms are required to have sufficient service capabilities, such as setting up 24/7 call centers and establishing driver training programs (including industry regulations, traffic safety, labor laws, service skills, etc.).

  In addition, private vehicles carrying passengers must have a license to operate in the operating area, commercial insurance including third-party liability insurance, vehicle positioning facilities, and general certification and metering facilities (the Ministry of Road and Traffic has separately formulated technical standards to ensure that different platforms and different regions can be used). At the same time, vehicles must carry a first aid kit, and emergency safety buttons should be installed where required. The positioning facility must be able to record the driver’s driving time to ensure safe driving. The platform must not force minimum online and driving hours, but the maximum working hours must not violate the law.

  According to the requirements of the opinion, drivers engaged in the online car-hailing industry in New Delhi must obtain a driving license or other qualifications stipulated by law (such as a public service license), a driver verification report issued by the public security department, and the contact information of the driver’s two family members.

  In addition, unlike in Western countries, the guidance also stipulates that the federal government or regulators can set maximum prices.

  American experts: Future management system may merge into one

  With the rise of ride-hailing services around the world, the traditional taxi industry is facing great challenges. There have been cases of traditional taxi drivers boycotting online ride-hailing in some countries.

  Janice Griffiths, a professor at Suffolk University School of Law in the United States, said that online car-hailing relies on its high service efficiency and relatively low prices to win people’s favor, while traditional taxi drivers’ dissatisfaction with online car-hailing is overwhelmingly due to the belief that online car-hailing is subject to fewer constraints, unlike the traditional taxi industry, which is subject to various strict restrictions from vehicles, drivers, companies, and other aspects. At the same time, taxi drivers also need to pay a considerable amount of fees.

  Today, most people already feel the convenience of online car-hailing services, so it is not a wise choice for government departments to ban online car-hailing services. Even if the traditional taxi industry benefits in the short term, in the long run, the government department will still face pressure from the public for banning online car-hailing services.

  At present, many places are gradually improving the management of online car-hailing. In most cases, government departments separate online car-hailing from traditional taxis and use two separate methods for management. However, Griffith believes that it is impossible to say what the future of online car-hailing will be. Perhaps as the management methods become more detailed, the two different management systems may eventually be merged into one.

Hengda Automobile Hengchi 5 starts pre-sale, and the "notarized" reservation method creates a precedent

(Wen/Pan Yuchen, editor/Lou Bing) On July 6, Hengda Automobile’s first mass-produced model, Hengchi 5, which was mired in the whirlpool of public opinion and repeatedly bounced tickets, finally started pre-sale, and launched a model. After comprehensive subsidies, the pre-sale price is 179,000 yuan, which will be delivered in October this year.

Hengda President Liu Yongzhuo said at the press conference that the Hengchi 5 is "the best pure electric SUV in history within 300,000 yuan", and will achieve 10,000 deliveries by Quarter 1 next year.

The Hengchi 5 is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, with a body length, width and height of 4725/1925/1676mm and a wheelbase of 2780mm. The exterior design combines elements such as a suspended roof, a guide tail, and a hidden door handle to enhance the stylish and sporty feel of the vehicle.

Inside, the central control of Hengchi 5 is equipped with a wrapping 3D curved triple screen, composed of 10.25-inch instrument panel, 14.6-inch central control screen and 10.25-inch co-pilot screen, built-in Qualcomm 8155 chip, support mobile APP unlocking, facial recognition, 5G network, multi-application synchronization display, Baidu AI voice, gesture operation and other car-machine interaction functions.

The Hengchi 5 is equipped with five millimeter-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic radars, one monocular camera, and four surround-view cameras. It is claimed to be equipped with more than L2-level auxiliary driving, and integrates 19 auxiliary driving capabilities including full-speed adaptive cruise, automatic lane change, and automatic parking.

In terms of power, Hengchi 5 is built on a pure electric platform, using Bosch UMC three-in-one electric drive, with a maximum power of 150kW, a maximum torque of 345Nm, 0-100km/h acceleration of 7.8s. The chassis uses a suspension combination of front McPherson and rear multi-link, and the braking distance of 100-0km/h is 34.5m. Powered by Ningde Times CTP lithium iron phosphate battery, the rated power is 72.8kWh, and the CLTC cruising range reaches 602km.

In order to attract consumers to buy, Hengchi 5 also launched the first 10,000 car users to reduce 10,000 yuan, return and refund within 15 days of picking up the car, and buy back at a 40% discount for three years after picking up the car. It is worth mentioning that Evergrande Auto promises that the pre-sale deposit and final payment will be paid to a special account established by a notary office in Tianjin, in the name of ensuring the safety of consumer funds.

Hengda Motor said that it will use the direct sales and authorized sales agent model to set up Hengchi showrooms and agent stores in major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Tianjin. This year, the number of stores will reach 200, and 313 after-sales services outlets will be deployed in 235 cities across the country. In terms of charging services, Hengchi APP is connected to 563 domestic charging service providers, covering more than 300 cities in 31 provinces.

For new car-making forces, boasting Haikou at the new car launch is a "basic operation". Compared with Li Xiang’s "best within 5 million yuan" and Yu Chengdong’s "beyond a million luxury cars", Liu Yongzhuo’s expression of "the best pure electric SUV within 300,000 yuan" is quite reserved.

Objectively speaking, the price of Hengchi 5 combined with its product power is quite reliable. The main competitors of Hengchi 5 are concentrated in the price range of 150,000-250,000 yuan, including Volkswagen ID4, GAC Aian V, Xiaopeng G3, Nezha U, Zero Run C11 and many other pure electric SUV models. In terms of configuration level and system parameters alone, Hengchi 5 does have a good price/performance ratio compared with competing products. In addition, a series of operations such as 10,000 yuan for the top 10,000 car users, refund within 15 days, 30% off repurchase in three years, and collection by the notary office are also extremely rare in the history of car sales.

It can be seen that in order to dispel consumers’ car purchase doubts, Hengda Automobile can be said to be heartbroken. But as Murphy’s Law indicates, the biggest test of Hengchi 5’s market prospects is not the product itself, but more from off-site factors.

From Xu Jiayin’s bold words "buy buy buy, big big, good", to Hengda’s release of 6 new cars in one breath, to the market value once exceeded 600 billion, and then to the outside world’s doubts about its PPT car manufacturing and pre-sale repeated delays, Hengda Automobile has gone through two and a half years so far.

With the overall explosion of Hengda Group, the credibility of this new cross-border car manufacturing force has actually dropped to freezing point. In May this year, there were even rumors that Hengda Automobile would delay sales indefinitely. Although Hengda has come forward to refute the rumor on the grounds of the epidemic, it is still difficult to dispel the public’s doubts.

Today’s Hengda car is like the child who kept shouting "wolf is coming". After all, in the heyday of Hengda Real Estate, its football, property insurance, grain and oil, ice spring and other side businesses, which one was not prosperous, and now which one is not a chicken feather? Compared with these, the auto industry is a bottomless pit that burns money. As an outsider, Hengda wants to achieve "the best within 300,000 yuan" in the short term, and the difficulty is comparable to the sky. Moreover, even if Hengchi 5 does sell well in the end, it is difficult to obtain enough bicycle profits based on its current pricing. This also means that it is difficult for Hengda to block the hole of real estate thunder by selling cars in the short term. After the announcement of the pre-sale of Hengchi 5, the market reaction was still rather lukewarm. If Hengda wants to truly turn around, the order performance before delivery will be crucial.

Excerpts from the speeches of the symposium on promoting the healthy and sustainable development of Internet enterprises

Editor’s note:On the afternoon of January 28, the Central Cyberspace Administration of China, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the General Administration of Market Regulation jointly held a symposium on promoting the healthy and sustainable development of Internet enterprises. People’s Daily Online, Kuaishou, Meituan, JD.com, Xiaomi and other five Internet companies made speeches at the meeting, saying that they must strengthen their confidence and determination, seize development opportunities, give play to their innovation advantages, improve quality and efficiency in deepening reform, and actively build first-class enterprises. Make due contributions to promoting the construction of a network power, and put forward opinions and suggestions based on the actual situation of enterprises. Excerpts from the speech are as follows.

Ye Zhenzhen (Party Secretary, Chairperson, President of People’s Daily Online):

People’s Daily Online, as the "online People’s Daily", has always regarded publicizing and explaining the Supreme Leader’s thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era as its top political task, focusing on the main business of content, continuously planning and launching original products, and continuously injecting surging positive energy into the Internet.

People’s Daily Online undertakes the responsibility and mission of connecting the hearts of the party and the hearts of the people. In 2021, in the practice of "I do practical things for the masses", People’s Daily Online’s "leadership message board" widely solicited people’s "urgent and difficult" problems, and more than 800,000 demands were responded to and resolved throughout the year. The cumulative number of users of People’s Daily Online’s PC side, client side, mobile phone People’s Daily Online, and new media accounts has exceeded 733 million. The self-built "content platform" is distributed through seven major brand mobile phones, and the total number of users exceeds 1 billion. People’s Daily Online has newly launched 3 foreign language versions including Italian, and so far there are 12 foreign language versions. At the same time, adhere to innovation-driven, develop content technology, build a "content risk control brain", and provide content security services for many Internet platforms.

Our country’s digital economy is in the ascendant. Strengthening supervision, breaking monopoly, and protecting privacy are not only important measures to promote the healthy and sustainable development of Internet enterprises, but also fully reflect the policy determination to maintain a good ecology and ensure long-term development. In the new year, People’s Daily Online will further enhance its sense of responsibility and mission. It will play a key role in leading, connecting, and standard setting in the key "ecological niche" of the new socialized division of labor in the content industry. It will further accelerate the deep integration and development of media. It will become a leading enterprise in content technology and a new type of mainstream media with strong influence and competitiveness. Strive to make great achievements in financial media reporting breakthroughs and career innovation and development.

In the new stage of development, it is recommended that the relevant central ministries and commissions formulate classified guidance and classified support policies for the development of party media and Internet enterprises, encourage the industry to work together to develop the Internet and information industry, and jointly promote the construction of a powerful network country.

Yuanxi Yang (Kuaishou co-founder and chairperson of the Content Security Committee):

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the party and the country have attached great importance to the development of the Internet and created a good environment for entrepreneurship and business. Riding the east wind of the times, Kuaishou adheres to the original intention of equality and universal benefit and accelerates the pace of development. At present, Kuaishou serves more than 300 million users every day and strives to create greater social value.

Kuaishou integrates mainstream value into algorithm technology, so that positive energy and high-quality content can accurately reach users and "fly into the homes of ordinary people". Make good use of live broadcast technology to create a new business format for e-commerce, directly connect demand and supply, and release more consumption potential. In the first three quarters of 2021, Kuaishou’s total e-commerce transactions exceeded 400 billion, effectively driving the digital transformation of the real economy. Launched the "Happy Rural Leader Program" to open up a new and efficient path for agricultural products to go up and industrial products to go down, and cumulatively drive millions of people to increase their income. From January to October 2021, more than 420 million agricultural product orders were sent from rural areas to all parts of the country through Kuaishou. Kuaishou attaches great importance to technological innovation, through the understanding of interactive data, to achieve accurate connection between people and content, people and people, empowering the upstream and downstream of the industry, driving the coordinated development of related industries, and extending from consumer Internet to industrial Internet.

The General Secretary of the Supreme Leader attaches great importance to the development of private enterprises and the digital economy, and has repeatedly emphasized adhering to the "two unswerving" and constantly strengthening, improving and expanding our country’s digital economy, which not only injected strong confidence and motivation into the market, but also allowed us to take a reassuring heart and seek development with peace of mind. I believe that under the strong leadership of the party and the government, with the support and guidance of the competent departments, and with the joint cooperation of the industry, Kuaishou will also increase technological investment, strive to build hard core technology, and make new and greater contributions to promoting industrial optimization and upgrading and empowering the real economy.

Mu Rongjun (co-founder of Meituan):

2021 is a year in which Meituan has achieved new development in the standard, contributing to the high-quality development of the life service industry.

Meituan earnestly studied a series of policy requirements on promoting the healthy development of platform economic norms, established committees on company-level content ecology, data security, algorithm governance, privacy compliance, etc., strengthened compliance governance, and did everything possible to promote the healthy development of business. From the first to the third quarter of 2021, the operating income was 129.60 billion yuan, exceeding the level of the whole year in 2020; the annual transaction user 670 million, an increase of 40.1% year-on-year; the number of active merchants 8.30 million, an increase of 28.2% year-on-year. The annual R & D investment exceeded 10 billion, and the company applied for 7,426 invention patents, mainly in the fields of artificial intelligence and unmanned distribution. In terms of fulfilling social responsibility, Meituan absorbed more than 30,000 people in social employment in 2021, and 6,925 fresh students. The role of takeaway riders as a flexible employment reservoir is further revealed. Since 2020, 110 ambulances have been donated to fight the epidemic, and nearly 200 playgrounds have been donated by joint merchants in poverty reduction areas.

Facing the new stage of China’s economic development, Meituan consciously obeys and serves the overall situation of economic and social development, adjusts the strategy to "retail + technology", and accelerates the pace of transformation and development. Meituan will also continue to strengthen technological innovation, improve the level of operation and management, and further play the active role of platform enterprises in six guarantees and six stability.

Regarding the healthy and standardized development of platform enterprises, it is recommended to improve supporting policies to help the development of new business models and encourage enterprises to innovate in science and technology, support enterprises to participate in major national science and technology special projects or action plans, and play a greater role in promoting the core competitiveness of the Internet industry.

Xu Lei (President of JD.com Group):

In 2021, JD.com will provide new growth drivers for more industries and create greater value for society as it continues to grow steadily.

JD.com adheres to the concept of "compliance is development", builds a "four security" compliance system, and maintains steady growth in its business. Revenue in the first three quarters was 675.50 billion yuan, an increase of more than 25% year-on-year. JD.com Logistics is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and the number of employees is growing steadily. This year, it will recruit more than 20,000 college graduates. Continue to increase logistics infrastructure building, the logistics network covers all districts and counties, and promotes "24-hour delivery of thousands of counties and towns" to enhance rural service capabilities in counties. Vigorously build cross-border logistics and overseas warehouse networks, and actively integrate into the new development pattern of "double cycle". Poverty alleviation work is fully shifted to helping rural revitalization and common prosperity, and the implementation of the "Penfu Plan" will drive rural areas to achieve 1 trillion output value within three years. Continuously increase investment in technology research and development. Last year, JD.com published more than 200 papers in top international academic conferences, won more than 60 awards in authoritative competitions at home and abroad, and created many "first" contributions in the fields of artificial intelligence, intelligent supply chain, intelligent retail, and intelligent logistics.

In the future, JD.com will strengthen compliance capacity building, adhere to stable employment, stable supply and stable development. It is hoped that the competent authorities will support enterprises to carry out key core technology innovation, participate in national informatization construction, guide enterprises to carry out investment and financing and mergers and acquisitions, and promote healthy and sustainable development.

Wang Xiang (President of Xiaomi Group):

Xiaomi is a consumer electronics and intelligent manufacturing company with smartphones, smart hardware and IoT platforms as the core. It has maintained rapid and steady growth in the past 11 years. From its establishment in 2010, to 2021, the annual revenue is about 320 billion yuan, the output value is 177.60 billion yuan, and the world’s top 500 ranks 338th. Xiaomi’s success, on the one hand, is to adhere to the technology to establish a business and provide the most cost-effective products for global users. On the other hand, it also conforms to the rise of the mobile Internet industry and actively participates in it. While popularizing smart hardware devices for users, it has gained dividends from the development of the Internet industry.

In recent years, a series of laws and regulations, such as the Cyber Security Law, the Data Security Law, and the Personal Information Protection Law, have been introduced one after another. The state’s efforts to rectify network chaos have been continuously strengthened, the development of the industry has become more orderly and compliant, and the user experience and sense of security have been improved. We believe that our country’s Internet industry will continue to maintain rapid development, providing the country with a large amount of tax revenue, solving a large number of jobs, and improving the efficiency and level of social operation. We are well aware of the importance of mastering core technologies and increasing R & D investment. Recently, we have proposed a higher R & D investment plan again. The R & D investment in the next five years will be 100 billion yuan, and Xiaomi will give full play to its own advantages, firmly lay out its business and resources from the industrial development level, and continue to grow and strengthen the enterprise to ensure its ability to become a pioneering force in the construction of the new era.

It is recommended to improve relevant laws and regulations, fundamentally eliminate the gray area of Android mobile application distribution, and prevent gambling and telecommunications fraud apps from inducing users to install and infringing on their rights and interests through third-party channels.

Disputes in the passenger rental market in Penglai, Shandong: Taxi drivers face price increases when changing cars

  investigation motive

  In the city of Penglai in Shandong province, some taxi owners who have obtained the right to operate according to law cannot find their names on the local "micro-transportation management" platform; some owners are "killed" when changing vehicles; and some owners are required to pay "safety deposits" to complete the transfer procedures.

  These car owners believe that the reason for these phenomena is that the local transportation bureau is suspected of illegal administration.

  Our reporter, Sun Anqing

  Penglai City, Shandong Province is home to famous scenic spots such as Penglai Pavilion, a large number of tourists, and a well-developed passenger rental industry. Although the household population is only 400,000, there are more than 600 passenger taxis active in the local streets.

  However, behind the city’s thriving passenger rental business are ongoing disputes.

  Recently, the Legal Daily reporter received a series of reports from local taxi owners, saying that the city’s traffic management department forcibly transferred their taxi operation rights to the taxi company, and the taxi owners had to pay a high "safety deposit" before the transportation bureau gave the transfer; the transportation bureau and the taxi company illegally increased the fare when the owners updated and purchased the vehicle. Taxi owners demanded that the local transportation bureau and taxi company return the original operating rights to them and return the fees charged in violation of laws and regulations.

  What is the truth? The Legal Daily reporter rushed to Penglai to investigate.

  The right to operate was accused of being "stolen"

  The transportation bureau said the owner had a misunderstanding

  Peng Jun, director of Penglai Taxi, told reporters that in the early 1990s, the owners of passenger vehicles such as tricycles and vans in Penglai did not have operating licenses. In the late 1990s, the local government began to issue them operating licenses, which were called "little red books" by owners and were all private accounts. Since the implementation of the "Shandong Provincial Road Transport Regulations" in 2011, taxis are encouraged to operate on a large scale and intensively. Therefore, the Penglai Municipal Transportation Bureau took this opportunity to take back the "little red book" of the owner of the old car and replace it with a new one. Without conducting legal procedures such as hearings and publicity, the name of the owner of the transportation license was changed from the owner’s name to the company plus personal name or personal name. In the remarks, dozens or even hundreds of people share a business license number. What worries the car owners even more is that when the subsequent transportation license was changed, the names of the car owners were cancelled, and even in the "micro-transportation management" platform launched by Yantai City, the name information of the car owners could not be found.

  Ren Pengjun believes that although the "Shandong Provincial Road Transport Regulations" implemented in 2011 encourage public ownership, there is no word prohibiting self-employment throughout. The regulations stipulate that "if the taxi passenger transportation operation rights obtained before the implementation of these regulations have not expired, the management of the operation rights shall be implemented in accordance with the relevant provisions of the people’s government of the city or county (city) divided into districts." All taxi self-employment rights in Penglai City were obtained before 2011. In addition, the Guobanfa [2016] No. 58 "Guiding Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Deepening Reform and Promoting the Healthy Development of the Taxi Industry" believes that "contractors who adopt the contract management method and self-employed individuals who obtain the right to operate should obtain the qualification of taxi drivers", which just proves that the state recognizes and allows self-employment with the right to operate.

  "We have changed from car owners to drivers of the company. It’s like the company has become a landlord, and the car owners have become renters. The business rights that depend on survival to support the family have been stolen in a confused manner," Ren Pengjun said.

  Zhai Shaochun, the taxi owner, is even more worried: "I am worried that our business procedures will not be able to be traded in the future, and I am even more worried that the company will take our business rights to mortgage, and then we will be innocent and take on huge debts."

  Reporters found two copies of the same taxi company’s "People’s Republic of China Road Transport License" found that the owner of the transport license held by Li Bo is "Penglai Taxi Co., Ltd. (Li Bo) ", the owner of the transport license held by Jing Guangming is "Penglai Taxi Co., Ltd. (Jing Guangming) ", and the two business license numbers are "370684150003", the economic type belongs to the collective.

  In response to the car owners’ questions, a deputy director of the Penglai City Transportation Bureau surnamed Tang told reporters that there are 617 passenger taxis in Penglai City. After the operation reform in 2002, the car owners agreed to this kind of transportation license with the owner’s name added by the company. In September 2016, affected by the upgrade of the unified transportation administration system of the provincial government, when the car owners who expired to change the license went to the transportation department for the replacement procedures, the "business name" column could not enter the owner’s name information, only the personal information appeared in the remarks column on the second page of the transportation license. Affected by the upgrade of the transportation administration system, the "micro-transportation management" platform only displays the car number and company name, and the personal name information is no longer displayed in the remarks column. It is estimated that these reasons caused the misunderstanding of the car owners. " In fact, only the registration form of the operation certificate has changed, and the operation rights have not changed. "Deputy Director Tang said.

  Has the passenger operation right of the taxi owner in Penglai City been transferred to the company’s name? Zhou Li, a lecturer at the Law School of Qingdao University of Science and Technology, believes that from the perspective of the road transportation license provided by the owner of Penglai, it only reflects the administrative license and control of the taxi company by the government department, and cannot see the administrative license and control of the government department on the owner, so the operation right should belong to the taxi company. If the local government revokes or changes the administrative license at will without legal procedures, the owner can pursue the relevant responsibilities of the government through administrative reconsideration or administrative litigation. "But in reality, many cities have adopted the Penglai company plus the owner’s operation right model. Although the operation right belongs to the company, the local government often tacitly acknowledges the transfer of the owner’s ownership and other disposal behaviors. For the passenger rental authority to be reasonable and harmonious, it must obtain the consent of the owner and follow legal procedures. "Zhou Li said.

  The owner reflects that the price needs to be increased for changing the car.

  And they said there was no way.

  "The local transportation bureau, taxi company and car dealership joined forces to raise the price of the new car illegally on the occasion of changing the car, which pitted the owner." Zhai Shaochun, the owner, told reporters that the Penglai City Transportation Bureau called it adjusting and optimizing the rental model, and issued several unreasonable regulations: First, it was determined that three models such as Langyi were replacement models, and other models were not allowed to be transferred; second, it was necessary to buy cars locally in Penglai, and cars purchased from other places were not allowed to be transferred. As a result, there was a strange phenomenon when buying cars. The alternative models of Penglai were several thousand yuan higher than those in surrounding counties and urban areas. For example, the price of the new Pusang and Jetta in Penglai was 82,800 yuan, and the price of Longkou City, which is also in Yantai City and 30 kilometers

  Holding an invoice and a receipt, Jing Guangming told reporters that when he replaced his new car in July last year, he bought a Langyi sedan from a car dealership in Penglai. The manufacturer issued an invoice of 90,000 yuan, but the car dealership charged him 100,500 yuan, which was more than 10,000 yuan more than the normal price. "Only when I buy this car can I enjoy the preferential policy of upgrading from the starting price of 7 yuan, the kilometer price of 1.5 yuan to the starting price of 8 yuan, and the kilometer price of 1.8 yuan. I have to swallow it in my stomach and let them kill me for more than 10,000 yuan," Jing Guangming said.

  "Due to the sales system of the car dealership, Penglai owners cannot buy cars in other places, which in fact creates a monopoly. But our administrative bureau cannot make a hard rule," Deputy Director Tang explained.

  On March 24, the Penglai City Transportation Bureau issued a "letter to the majority of rental households". The reporter saw from this letter that the bureau would announce alternative models online within a week, and at the same time cancel the rental version restrictions.

  Security deposit required for transfer

  The transportation bureau promises a full refund.

  Car owner Zhai Shaochun reported that around June last year, the Penglai City Transportation Bureau allowed taxis to go through the operation formalities and transfer, and four taxi companies notified that they had to pay a "safety deposit" of 10,000 yuan to transfer. Later, under the strong opposition of car owners, it was changed to 5,000 yuan, and the owner was required to take a video, write a statement that the guarantee is voluntary and do not petition, and keep the information in the company, otherwise the transfer will not be made. "The company stipulates that each car mainly pays compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance ranging from 300,000 to 800,000 yuan. What else is there to worry about the driver? What is the purpose of this unnecessary act? Where did so many security deposits go?" Zhai Shaochun was puzzled.

  The reporter learned that in 2006, the Ministry of Communications and others jointly issued a notice requiring drivers to collect "risk deposit", "property deposit", "operating income deposit" and other expenses, which must be returned in full within a time limit. If they refuse to return, they must be held accountable.

  In this regard, Deputy Director Tang explained that there are several taxi companies of different sizes in Penglai. The smallest company has only 36 taxis and charges only 40 yuan per car per month for management fees, which is very stressful. And if there is a major accident in a vehicle that pays too little insurance, because the company’s name is written on the certificate, the company will bear joint and several liability, so this protection method is adopted. The company is afraid that the owner will regret it, so it recorded a video. According to him, the fee has been collected since June last year, and so far a total of 240 people have been charged.

  "The bureau initially thought that this was an enterprise management behavior, but later found that the procedure was illegal and had no legal basis. We decided to refund all these deposits to the owner as soon as possible," Deputy Director Tang promised.
