Exclusive interview with Wang Xiaochuan: It is a pity that sogou has not listed in China, and it is the general trend to return to A shares.

Wang Xiaochuan has made many breakthroughs in 2018. At the end of last year, sogou fulfilled his dream of 14 years and successfully listed on the NYSE; At the beginning of this year, CEO Wang Xiaochuan was elected as a new member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference for the first time.

As one of the most famous Internet entrepreneurs in China, Wang Xiaochuan has unique and profound views on the Internet. When interviewed by reporter Hu Ling in the program "Mobile Parliament Hall of the National People’s Congress and the National People’s Congress" of Phoenix. com, Wang Xiaochuan not only talked about the development of sogou and her own life, but also talked about monopoly, innovation and blockchain.

CDR is a topic that Internet bosses are most concerned about in this year’s two sessions. As a rookie in the capital market, Wang Xiaochuan was inevitably asked this topic. He said that if CDR or other means can be used, sogou is very willing to return to the domestic motherboard market.

"I am sorry that sogou has not been listed in China." As a result of IPO in US stock market, users and investors in sogou split into two groups. Because users should be the group that understands products best and makes more effective investment decisions, their attention to sogou can also amplify the brand ability of products. On the contrary, when new products are released, investors in sogou will become users in sogou. As long as such an internet company can succeed, it will grow very fast, and at the same time it will bring a positive cycle: investors can share the growth benefits of the company simultaneously.

Now listed overseas, investors and users are separated, and the product lacks a channel to penetrate into users.

"So I think it is the general trend to be able to return to A shares. This national policy has solved our other mechanism problems. I think it is a very good thing for our company, for the whole Internet company, and even for the whole enterprise that can serve the public." Wang Xiaochuan said.

As for how to return to A-shares, he believes that we should still follow the direction encouraged by the state. He said, "The opening of CDR is the best way to solve the problem with the least change."

This is a giant era. In recent years, BAT has been actively deployed in almost every innovation field. As Ma Yun, Ma Huateng and Ma Dongmin are the chairmen of Alibaba and Tencent and the major shareholders of Baidu respectively, some people jokingly said that the Internet in China is going to be named Ma.

Although the giants seem to be in control of the fate of all enterprises, Wang Xiaochuan is still optimistic about the development of the Internet. He feels that if the development of science and technology industry is viewed in a longer time dimension, the pace of innovation will not stop. It’s like the birth of Microsoft broke the monopoly of IBM, followed by Google, which seemed to dominate the world, and Facebook was killed halfway.

His other reason is that the Internet may gradually penetrate into many national economies and people’s livelihood in the future, and there will be no Internet companies in the future. "In 2007 and 2008, Sohu will also set up a mobile business unit; But now if a company has a mobile division, it is finished. "

Even today’s two "horses", they have not inhibited innovation. Innovation is still emerging, just like Meituan before and bike-sharing now. These emerging companies are also willing to form alliances with giants to help them develop faster.

Therefore, Wang Xiaochuan’s point of view is: "In this era, if everyone really wants to use the word monopoly, monopoly is not eternal."

In addition, monopoly does not necessarily bring global harm. Taking the relationship between Tencent and sogou as an example, Wang Xiaochuan explained that Tencent finally realized that Tencent’s search was not as good as that of sogou, and gave all the search teams to sogou. Now the Chengdu branch in sogou is a branch of Tencent.

Every stage of Internet development seems to be accompanied by a bubble. In the past two years, everyone was still worried about whether there were too many bubbles in artificial intelligence. This year, the fanaticism of blockchain made more people stunned.

The bubble of artificial intelligence is different. A few times ago, the so-called artificial intelligence era came, and as a result, there was nothing after the ebb tide. Now artificial intelligence has reached a new stage, and the current capital inflow belongs to "capital began to enter, and the money invested today is 100 times and 1000 times higher than before." When we settle down, you find that it is rewarding, which has changed life. "    

However, the bubble of blockchain means cost for ordinary people. "It is best for Bitcoin to have an access mechanism because the risks are higher." When it comes to blockchain, Wang Xiaochuan is worried. "Only in this way can we encourage and protect more innovation."

The popularity of blockchain is rising so fast that even Wang Xiaochuan is worried about falling behind, and this worry is still very strong. Some time ago, a friend who was studying biology came to ask him about the blockchain. As a result, this friend studied more deeply than his computer major. Wang Xiaochuan said that it was impossible, so he quickly made up for it himself. From technology to business and political events inside, he finally understood the blockchain.

"Blockchain is a decentralized and highly anarchic thing. In political practice, it has its own problems. If it is not careful, it will be centralized, or if it is not centralized, it will be inefficient. We are concerned about how it can establish a certain central influence. " Now Wang Xiaochuan has been able to talk about this topic Kan Kan, and completely found his own feelings.

In order to stay behind, Wang Xiaochuan began to play the glory of the king these days. Because he found that many articles will mention some of the terms, and now he can’t read the articles without playing games. However, because there is no special time to play, his level is really bad.

In addition to worrying about falling behind, Wang Xiaochuan also has some other anxieties. For example, he wants to go back to the company to reach a consensus on his business now. This science and technology man rarely shows a little literary cell: "The plan for one year lies in spring, and now spring is almost over."    

Looking back over the past ten years, there may be some things that could have been done better, but now, after all, we can’t go back to the past, so Wang Xiaochuan has nothing to regret, only that he has experienced setbacks and failures and gained various experiences. When the company didn’t go public, the only indicator that the outside world looked at sogou was the market share of search. Now the CEO has really lost some burdens and started to talk about his ambitions for the future — — Make something cool.

How to understand cool things? For example, the translation machine introduced by sogou some time ago can solve the problem of information exchange, which is cool in his view. What sogou wants to do is not another Google or Baidu, but something of its own combined with the reality of China, and its investment and strategy have to be upgraded.

In addition to Sogou CEO, Wang Xiaochuan has another famous title, that is, the bachelor in the Internet business. In an interview with Hu Li, Wang Xiaochuan rarely responded to this topic.

He said that he is not looking for a girlfriend, and personal problems will be slowly put on the agenda. However, when it comes to this relatively romantic thing, he still showed his nerd thinking: "But there is a good thing. Today, due to the highly developed biotechnology, people can have a longer protection time, so they can have some comfort for themselves."

BYD, the most intimate new energy vehicle, is on fire again.

Nowadays, young people have been at the forefront of the torrent of the times, and they are also the main force of consumption in society. In addition to the cost performance, it also depends on whether this car is good-looking and has strong performance. Although not excellent, it can also reach the mainstream level of the same level. Let’s get to know each other.

First of all, from the appearance, the design style of the front of Seal 06 has taken a fashionable and dynamic route, which is very recognizable. Then it uses a deep headlight design, which is very eye-catching. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light, delayed closing and so on. Coming to the side of the car, the body size of the car is 4830MM*1875MM*1495MM. The car adopts delicate lines, and the side circumference looks very simple. With large-sized thick-walled tires, the shape is eye-catching. Looking back, the tail line of Seal 06 is simple and fashionable, and the taillights give people a very fashionable feeling and create a good atmosphere.

Sitting in the car, the interior of Seal 06 is more delicate and handsome, which meets the aesthetic standards of young people. The steering wheel of the car is very elegant in shape, and it is equipped with functions such as manual steering wheel up and down+front and rear adjustment, showing a sense of atmosphere. Let’s take a look at the central control, with a 15.6-inch central control screen, which makes the interior style impressive and gives people a sense of sports. Finally, let’s look at the dashboard and seats. The dashboard of this car presents a delicate design style, giving people a very capable feeling. The car uses leather seats, and the seats are wrapped in place, which is basically enough for daily use.

Guangzhou Auto Show closes, welcoming 785,000 visitors

  On November 28, the 19th Guangzhou International Auto Show came to an end. The 10-day exhibition attracted 785,000 visitors, an increase of 23,000 visitors compared with the previous year, showing strong spending power.

  In the context of the continuous global epidemic and the cancellation or postponement of major international auto shows, the Guangzhou Auto Show has become the only international A-level auto show held as scheduled for two consecutive years in the world. The person in charge of the auto show organizing committee said that as one of the most important city business cards in Guangzhou, the Guangzhou Auto Show not only shows the international community the achievements of China’s anti-epidemic and the development of China’s auto industry, but also sends a positive signal and firm confidence to the global auto industry.

  At this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show, global automakers gathered in Yangcheng to showcase the innovative development achievements of the world’s automotive industry, and to fully demonstrate the deep integration of automobiles with cutting-edge technologies such as 5G technology, mobile Internet, artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing.

Car companies have launched models loaded with smart networking equipment such as solid-state lidar, ultra-high definition cameras, millimeter-wave radar, and long-range ultrasonic sensors to make driving safer. Major booths also exhibited new technologies including smart cockpits, smart car operating systems, visual interaction, facial recognition, voice artificial intelligence, real-life head-up display, and smart wearable device interconnection.

  The Guangzhou Auto Show Organizing Committee also announced that the 20th Auto Show will be held at the Canton Fair from November 18 to 27, 2022.

Lantu Automotive CEO Lu Fang: Walking on thin ice every day, only by maintaining competition can we survive

Author | Chen Yixun

Edit | Sun Chunfang

2022 is destined to be an extraordinary year for all new energy vehicle companies. In the first half of 2022, the entire automotive industry encountered problems such as epidemic, rising raw material prices, and tight chip supply. During this period, it was inevitable that production and sales would be affected to a certain extent. How to overcome resistance and maintain the sustainability of enterprises has become a problem that new energy vehicle companies, including Lantu Automobile, need to think about together.

In November 2022, Lantu Auto announced the completion of the A round of financing of nearly 5 billion yuan, and the valuation of Lantu Auto after financing is nearly 30 billion yuan. After this round of financing, Lantu Auto does not rule out continued financing. At the same time, Lantu Auto will also consider the follow-up IPO plan based on the market and regulatory policies.

As a new energy vehicle brand under Dongfeng Group, Lantu Automobile was established in 2018 and later spun off from the parent company for independent operation in 2021. In December 2021, Lantu Automobile’s Series A financing was officially launched, and after nearly a year, it finally landed.

In the second half of 2022, new forces began to reshuffle, and capital markets became more cautious and conservative in investing in new energy vehicles. Lu Fang, CEO of Lantu Automobile, said that the current international economic situation is severe, and in the complex environment of multiple unfavorable factors, the investment and financing of the automobile and parts industry has become more difficult. In this context, the successful financing of Lantu Automobile reflects the full recognition and confidence of investors in the primary market in the value of Lantu Automobile’s investment.

However, Lu Fang also said: "Now I feel like walking on thin ice every day, I have to participate in the competition as a competitor, and I have to survive the competition."

Q: Lantu Auto recently received 5 billion yuan A round of financing. What is the main use of this money? Will there be financing plans in the future? Is there an approximate time point for listing, and is there some information to disclose and share?

A: This financing is mainly used to support Lantu technology research and development, digital system construction, capacity building and marketing investment and other related matters related to Lantu’s main business operation and expansion. It is expected that more than 40% of the expenses will be used for technology research and development. We hope to use the money to really support the sustainable development of Lantu.

In the future, on the basis of this round of successful financing, Lantu will continue to carry out follow-up rounds of financing work according to actual development needs and market conditions. Follow-up financing is not only financial investment, but also strategic coordination in business. Please refer to Lantu’s follow-up announcement for specific capital operation plans.

Q: Lantu Auto has recently gone to Norway. What is Lantu’s follow-up plan for going to sea? Did you encounter any difficulties in the process of going to sea?

A: Entering Norway is just the first step for Lantu to go overseas. At present, Lantu Dreamer is carrying out adaptive development in Europe and is expected to go overseas in 2023. In the future, Lantu will also enter the market of other European countries. The ultimate goal is to enter the German or French market through efforts in the next two or three years. Germany and France are traditional automobile powerhouses. If they can be recognized by local consumers in their markets, it will prove that Lantu’s cars can be recognized by most people in the world.

Lantu has entered Norway as a new brand that has only been established for more than two years. It is head-to-head with mature European brands. Its reputation and product strength need to be verified by the local market, and it will definitely face certain challenges. Lantu has been developing and testing corresponding products in accordance with the consumer needs, regulatory requirements, and market environment of Norway and other European countries.

At present, Chinese car companies go overseas to Norway in the form of vehicle exports. Under the influence of the pandemic, there will be a certain degree of delays and challenges in the transportation link. How to adapt to local laws and regulations, policies, user usage habits and local usage environment are some of the problems that car companies will face when going overseas. To enter the local market, the most important thing is to understand the needs of users, integrate with local consumers and culture, and then reach a consensus.

Q, the product pricing of Lantu Automobile is above 300,000, this kind of high-end play is very different from BYD and Aian starting from the low end and then challenging the high end. What kind of market and product reasons does Lantu make this decision?

A: At present, China’s manufacturing and consumption are upgrading, moving towards a higher direction, and the same is true for the automotive industry. Chinese cars cannot always compete at a low level, and high-end brand power can support sustainable development. At the same time, with consumption upgrading, consumers’ demand for high-end cars is strong, and China has better independent brands to meet consumers’ needs in this regard, rather than being occupied by BBA. At present, consumers also prefer to buy smart electric vehicles rather than fuel vehicles. At this time, domestic car brands are naturally needed to meet consumers’ needs.

It must be difficult to be a high-end brand at the beginning, but although things are difficult, someone has to do it. Lantu is a high-end electric brand under Dongfeng, carrying the important tasks of the group’s brand upward and the country’s independent mastery of core technologies. High-end is not high-end in price, but should be high-end in all aspects of products, services and experiences. At the same time, high-end brands can also adapt to the needs of the overall economy and user consumption upgrades after they are made.

Q. Intelligence is a major selling point of new energy vehicles. What stage has Lantu Automobile reached in the development of intelligent technology? Are there any plans to acquire mobile phone companies or cooperate with other Internet companies?

A: LANTU has been doing electrification and intelligence since the beginning, and has done a lot of work in intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, etc. Last month, LANTU released its ESSA + SOA intelligent electric bionic, which solves the problems faced by new energy vehicles in both electrification and intelligence to the greatest extent. By decoupling the software from the hardware, the car becomes a self-defining product like a mobile phone, and LANTU can open up a lot of content to developers and users. This is a revolutionary change in the electronic and electrical architecture of the whole vehicle.

At present, Landmap has no plans to cooperate with mobile phone companies.

Q. How many people are there in the current Lantu automotive team? What is the proportion of R & D personnel in it? How much is the annual investment in R & D?

A: Landmap Automotive currently has more than 4,000 personnel. In the field of R & D, Landmap has assembled a R & D team with electrification and intelligent engineers as the core. Landmap R & D personnel account for 38% of the total number of technology companies, and the proportion of R & D teams is the largest in new vehicle companies. The number of personnel in the core R & D field increased by 73% compared to October 2021. The average age of the team is 32.6 years old, and the proportion of graduate students and above is 38%.

In addition to full-stack self-research, Dongfeng Group has also provided a lot of technical support to Landmap in terms of Sandian, intelligent networking, etc. Landmap will turn these advantages into the source of its own development.

Q. Previously, Lantu Automobile also talked about that it should not become Wei Xiaoli, nor will it become Wei Xiaoli. Lantu’s positioning is a national high-end new energy brand, and its mission is to compete head-on when BBA is fully electrified. BBA has also begun its electric transformation, and BBA has the genes of traditional luxury brands. As a brand new brand, what is the biggest advantage of Lantu Automobile in competing with BBA?

A: In recent years, in terms of the development of China and the international automobile market, whether it is supply chain, technology or product strength, Chinese automobiles have been completely inferior to international traditional automobile powers, especially China’s leading technological advantages in the "New Four Modernizations" and "Three Electrics", so that China’s automobile product level, R & D capabilities and production quality have the strength to compete with foreign high-end brands on the same stage.

In terms of technology, the electronic and electrical architecture of Lantu vehicles is completely based on pure electric drive, and it is a real electric vehicle rather than an oil-to-electricity product. In fact, many products, including BBA, are still based on the development concept of oil-to-electricity; secondly, from joint ventures to autonomous Chinese cars, whether in the development of vehicle performance or in the control of vehicle quality, including in the supply chain, we have the ability to create products that are not inferior to BBA or even superior to them. More importantly, in high-end smart electric vehicles, China is far ahead, and many ecological partners in Europe also admit that the intelligence of Chinese electric vehicles is at least 5-10 years ahead of them.

Frankly speaking, the current Chinese car brand power may not be as good as that of foreign countries, but with the passage of time, China’s brand power may soon surpass them at some point. In a few years, the advantage of Chinese brands may become more obvious, and even part of the BBA market will be competed for and transformed into China’s own high-end new energy vehicle brand market.

Q. Many companies are talking about user-based enterprises and user co-creation. What is Landmap’s understanding of user-based enterprises?

A: The so-called user-based enterprises, it is crucial to understand the user’s pain points. Many times, the user pain points that enterprises understand are not the same as the user’s own pain points. The key is to understand from the user’s perspective. Returning to the source depends on how to continuously provide users with reliable products and services through technological innovation.

Landmap’s understanding of user-based enterprises is not a NIO-style service type, nor is it only focused on the single dimension of cockpit or intelligent driving. Landmap has vehicle technology, Internet technology, and an ecological development platform based on the future. It integrates self-developed technical capabilities such as platforms and architectures to build connections with users, focusing on users’ needs in vehicle driving control, intelligence, and safety, and realizes comprehensive technology.

Q. What do you think of the new energy vehicle market in the past two years, the rise of Tesla and new Chinese automakers?

A: New forces have a lot of innovative thinking worth learning. Together, they can expand the market, which is good for all high-end electric brands. Electric vehicles have the ability to compete with traditional fuel vehicles. Only with competition can they grow. Only with excellent competitors can they stimulate their maximum potential and continuously move towards a better direction.

But at the same time, the competition in the future will also be very cruel. Not only are traditional car companies making new energy vehicles, but many new players are also entering the industry. If you look at the mobile phone industry in the past 10 or 20 years, the new car industry will also leave a batch to be eliminated. Lantu is also walking on thin ice every day. We hope that we can survive and cannot stop or slow down, so we must participate in the cruel competition as competitors in this process.

LANTU builds cars for users, not for capital. Sales are important, but LANTU pays more attention to the user experience. LANTU and Wei Xiaoli are the brothers of the new Chinese car-making forces. The competitor of the new force is Tesla, and the competitor of LANTU is the brand of high-end foreign group companies. Let’s transform together to create a healthy development environment for China’s high-end electric brands.

Q. Now the new forces, including Wei Xiaoli, are basically in the midst of losses. The investment in the early stage of the enterprise is naturally important, but when the sales volume is still climbing, the continuous loss will inevitably bring financial pressure. Will it have an impact on the future development of the enterprise? What are the plans of Landmap in terms of profitability?

A: From a business perspective, we definitely hope to achieve profitability as soon as possible. At present, Landmap is constantly increasing sales while also controlling costs. For new energy, you still need to be patient. The auto industry is a long-term thing, and building a new brand is also a long-term thing. If you just take a small time stage of the company to judge and compare, and then make a conclusion, the result will definitely be unfair. In fact, it took a long time for Tesla to make a profit. I believe that all excellent companies will eventually make a profit.

Q. What are the greatest achievements of Landmap in 2022? What are the plans for 2023?

A: In 2022, Lantu completed a series of major actions, completed the product layout of three major categories in three years, went to Europe, completed the A round of financing, released the world’s first ESSA native intelligent electric architecture and centralized SOA electronic and electrical architecture, and was selected for the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council "Double Hundred Enterprises" list. It can be said that as a brand established for only two years, Lantu continued to maintain rapid development in 2022. But there are also some regrets, such as the impact of the epidemic on the automotive supply chain, and the impact on the factory production end.

In 2023, Lantu will continue to maintain rapid development. At the brand level, Lantu will continue to adhere to the brand positioning of high-end new energy vehicles, face the competition of foreign luxury brands, and promote the improvement of national independent car brands; in terms of products, the electric car Lantu Chasing Light will be released soon, and it will be delivered to users in 2023. Lantu will have three sub-products to serve users. Lantu will also continue to adhere to the strategic layout of one new car a year, and lay out more market segments in the fields of SUVs, MPVs, and cars to meet differentiated user requests. In terms of international market development, the first batch of Lantu FREE to go to Norway has arrived in Norway. After the Norwegian market, Lantu Dreamer will also be officially launched into the European market in 2023. In the future, Landmap cars will also enter four countries: Sweden, the Netherlands, Denmark, and Israel.

Is the Trumpchi e8 worth buying?

As an MPV model, the value of Trumpchi E8 is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

First of all, from the appearance design point of view, Trumpchi E8 adopts a family-style design style, the overall shape is atmospheric and fashionable, in line with the aesthetic needs of most consumers. Although your mileage may vary, the appearance design of Trumpchi E8 can undoubtedly attract some consumers.

Secondly, the space performance of the Trumpchi E8 has reached the same level of leadership. Its body size is 4920mm, 1900mm, 1760mm, and the wheelbase is 2930mm, which gives it a great advantage in terms of riding space and storage space. For consumers who intend to buy MPV, this is a very attractive point.

Furthermore, the configuration of the Trumpchi E8 is also quite rich. In addition to the basic comfort configuration, it also provides some practical technology configurations, such as navigation, reversing images, etc., to further enhance the driving experience.

Finally, as a well-known brand in China, GAC Trumpchi’s brand power and reputation have a certain influence in the MPV field. Therefore, from a brand perspective, Trumpchi E8 is also a worthy choice.

To sum up, the Trumpchi E8 has certain competitiveness in terms of appearance, space, configuration and brand, and is worth considering by consumers. Of course, whether to choose the Trumpchi E8 depends on personal needs and budget.

Tricycles grab business, more than 100 taxis in Zhouzhi County, Shaanxi Province are suspended (Photos)


Taxi service was suspended, and tricycle business was booming.



Master Li just bought a new car this year, and the dismal business has frustrated him.


  According to this newspaper, yesterday, more than 100 taxis in Zhouzhi County gathered in Yunta Square, the county seat, and collectively stopped operating. Owners asked relevant departments to crack down on the "black three wheels". Yesterday afternoon, the Zhouzhi County government urgently convened the county traffic bureau, traffic police brigade, taxi management office, taxi company and owner representatives to hold a meeting and decided that the traffic police brigade would start to rectify the "black three wheels" today. The reporter learned that as of 8:40 last night, the suspended taxis were still gathered in Yunta Square.


  More than 100 taxis were suspended


  At 11am yesterday, taxis could only be seen sporadically on the streets of Zhouzhi county seat. "It’s so strange, why are there so few taxis on the streets today?" said Ms Wang, who runs a restaurant on Taibai North Road in the county seat. At the same time, more than 100 taxis that were supposed to operate were collectively "stalled" at Yunta Square in the center of the county seat.


  "Due to the chaos of the taxi market, taxi operators cannot operate normally, their operating income is very low, and they cannot guarantee the minimum living requirements. We strongly urge all taxi operators, contractors, and drivers to collectively stop operating at Yunta Square at 8:00 tomorrow morning. I hope all colleagues will actively cooperate and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests."


  There are currently 217 taxis in operation in Zhouzhi County. A taxi operator said that at least more than 100 taxis have been suspended, and many taxis are parked at home and do not go out.


  Tricycle grabbing business becomes a fuse for outage


  Taxi operators put forward five demands in the proposal, the first of which is to resolutely crack down on the "black tricycle". Some owners say that there are at least 500 tricycles operating illegally in the county seat, more than double the number of taxis. Due to the low operating costs, these tricycles can at least get a 30,000 of diversified profits from the operating market in Zhouzhi County. A taxi owner said that because of the profits, people from the surrounding martial arts and Xingping also drove tricycles to Zhouzhi County to operate.


  Taxi operators say their profits are pitifully small compared to the illegally operated tricycles. Li Lianshe, the owner of the taxi, has calculated for the reporter that the taxi operation now earns up to 150 yuan a day, excluding the fuel fee of more than 80 yuan and the fixed fee of more than 30 yuan paid to the management department, as well as the driver’s salary of about 30 yuan, leaving the owner with little profit left. Taxi using natural gas is even more uneconomical. Since there is no gas station in Zhouzhi County, the taxi has to go to Yangling to fill up, so it takes at least two hours to fill up.


  The reporter learned in the interview that the collective outage of taxis is also related to the problems existing in the management of taxi companies.


  This is the third outage this year


  Yesterday at about 1 noon, the reporter saw in Zhouzhi County Yunta Square that the number of taxis joining the outage was still increasing. In order to quell the conflict as soon as possible and allow the taxi to resume operation, Zhouzhi County Taxi Management Office recruited the heads of the four taxi companies to which the suspended taxis belonged, and negotiated face-to-face with the owners on the management problems of each company. The Zhouzhi County Transportation Bureau also dispatched a number of staff to persuade the suspended taxi operators and drivers.


  A driver told reporters that this is the third time this year that taxis have resumed operations under the coordination of the Zhouzhi County Party Committee and the county government. "After the government coordinated, the traffic control department also investigated and dealt with it, but such investigations lacked long-term effectiveness. After the limelight, the illegal operation of tricycles resurfaced."


  Traffic police say there is no law enforcement basis for banning tricycles


  At about 2 pm yesterday, the reporter saw on the central street of Zhouzhi County that although most taxis were out of service, tricycles pulled passengers one by one through the street. The reporter contacted the captain of the Zhouzhi County Traffic Police Brigade by phone about the strong complaints from taxi operators about the problem of motorized tricycles. Liu Jianbin told reporters that there are more than 60 motorized tricycles operating in Zhouzhi County, and this number is far from the more than 500 reported by taxi operators. He said that many of these operating tricycles are battery cars, and some are mopeds, and the relevant laws are not clearly stipulated, resulting in the lack of legal basis for the traffic police department in the law enforcement process. In addition, most of these tricycles are laid-off and unemployed disadvantaged groups, which also increases the difficulty of their law enforcement. When the reporter left at the end of the interview, the deputy county head in charge of transportation of Zhouzhi County Government urgently convened the county transportation bureau, the traffic police brigade, the taxi management office, the taxi company and the owner’s representatives to hold a coordination meeting, and decided that from today, the traffic police brigade will start to rectify the "black three wheels".

The Ministry of Transport has revised the regulations on taxi operation: driving a car online requires participating in the qualification examination

  People’s Daily Online, Beijing, September 9, according to the central government portal news, recently, the Ministry of Transport announced the newly revised "Regulations on the Management of Taxi Driver Qualifications" (Ministry of Transport Order No. 63 of 2016) and "Regulations on the Management of Tour Taxi Business Services" (Ministry of Transport Order No. 64 of 2016).

  The "Guiding Opinions on Deepening Reform and Promoting the Healthy Development of the Taxi Industry" (Guoban Fa [2016] No. 58), as the top-level design for deepening the reform of the taxi industry, clarifies the positioning of the taxi industry, and puts forward the overall reform ideas of "dislocation of new and old business formats, integrated development, and construction of a diversified and differentiated travel service system". It also requires strengthening the legal system to realize that the management, operation services and market supervision of the taxi industry have laws to follow and rules to follow. Following the top-level design of the "Guiding Opinions" and implementing the relevant requirements of the State Council on "streamlining administration and delegating powers, combining decentralization and management, and optimizing services", the two ministerial orders have made adaptable revisions in the aspects of industry development positioning, division and enterprise interests distribution, driver examination, registration, and further education.

  It is understood that the amendments to the two ministerial orders were solicited from local transportation authorities in early July this year. As an important supporting regulation for deepening the reform of the taxi industry, it will provide legal protection for promoting the transformation and upgrading of cruise cars, standardizing the operation of online car-hailing, and promoting the integrated development of new and old business models.

  Attachment: Interpretation of the "Regulations on the Administration of Taxi Driver Qualifications" and the "Regulations on the Administration of Cruise Taxi Business Services"

  What amendments have been made to the "Regulations on the Administration of Cruise Taxi Business Services"?

  According to the "Guiding Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Deepening Reform and Promoting the Healthy Development of the Taxi Industry" (Guoban Fa [2016] No. 58) and the "Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Business Services" (Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Commerce, Administration for Industry and Commerce, State Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, State Internet Information Office Order No. 60 of 2016), the revised "Regulations on the Management of Tour Taxi Business Services" adjusted the scope of application and made a series of provisions on the positioning of the taxi industry, the distribution of interests between operators and drivers, etc. It is clear that taxis are an integral part of the urban comprehensive transportation system, a supplement to urban public transportation, and provide personalized transportation services for the public. The development of cruise taxis should be in line with the economic and social development of cities, and coordinated with the development of passenger transportation services such as public transportation. By clarifying the development orientation, efforts should be made to build a diversified and differentiated urban comprehensive transportation service system to better meet the travel needs of the people. In response to the problem of taxi "share money", cruise taxi operators are required to adjust the contract fee standards or quota tasks in a timely manner according to factors such as operating costs and freight changes, etc., to better build a business model of shared operational risks and reasonable distribution of benefits for enterprises and drivers, and accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries.

  II. What amendments have been made to the Regulations on the Administration of Taxi Driver Qualifications?

  The revised "Regulations on the Management of Taxi Driver’s Qualifications" clarify the scope of application, and the qualifications of taxi drivers include the qualifications of cruise taxi drivers and the qualifications of online booking taxi drivers, etc., and combined with the characteristics of the new business model of online car-hailing, the driver conditions, examination content, certificate types, registration management, further education and legal responsibility have been adjusted accordingly.

  III. Why should online car-hailing drivers be managed, and what aspects of the revision take into account the characteristics of online car-hailing?

  Regardless of whether it is online car-hailing or cruise car, it provides universal passenger transportation services for the public, and the driver is subject to access management according to law. This is the bottom line requirement of the industry management department to ensure transportation safety and service quality. The "Regulations on the Management of Taxi Driver Qualifications" are revised to fully consider the characteristics of online car-hailing, and actively support the development of new business models through "tailor-made" system design and management innovation. For example: Compared with cruise car drivers, the content of the online car-hailing driver’s test is simplified to the greatest extent, and its registration and cancellation are stipulated, which can be completed by the platform company reporting to the taxi administrative department where the issuing authority is located.

  IV. Are the application requirements for cruise car and online ride-hailing drivers the same?

  According to the revised "Regulations on the Administration of Taxi Drivers’ Qualifications", those who apply to participate in the taxi driver qualification examination shall meet the following conditions: obtain a motor vehicle driver’s license of the corresponding approved driving type and have more than 3 years of driving experience; no traffic accident crime, dangerous driving crime record, no drug abuse record, no driving record after drinking alcohol, and no record of 12 points in the last 3 consecutive scoring periods; no violent criminal record; other conditions stipulated by the urban people’s government. As a taxi driver,Whether it is a cruise or an online booking service, there is no difference in the application conditionsCreate positive conditions for fair competition between new and old business models.

  How to provide relevant proof materials such as no violent criminal record in the qualification examination conditions? Will it bring inconvenience to the parties?

  The revised "Regulations on the Administration of Taxi Driver Qualifications" makes it clear that those who apply to participate in the taxi driver qualification examination shall provide proof or commitment materials that meet the relevant provisions: (1) Motor vehicle driver’s license and photocopy; (2) No traffic crime, dangerous driving criminal record, no drug use record, no driving record after drinking, and no record of 12 points in the last 3 consecutive scoring periods; (3) No violent criminal record materials; (4) Identity certificate and photocopy; (5) Other certification materials stipulated by the city people’s government. At present, our Ministry is actively coordinating with the public security department to verify the commitment materials provided by the parties through information technology, so as to provide maximum convenience for the applicant parties.

  What are the differences between the content of the qualification examination for cruise and online taxi drivers?

  The revised "Regulations on the Administration of Taxi Driver Qualifications" makes it clear that: Taxi driver qualification examinations include national public subjects and regional subject examinations. The national public subject examination is a knowledge test with universal normative requirements for national taxi laws and regulations, professional ethics, service norms, and safe operation. The regional subject examination for the qualification of cruise taxi drivers is a knowledge test with regional service characteristics such as local taxi policies and regulations, human geography of business areas, and traffic routes. The regional subject examination for the qualification of taxi drivers by online booking is a knowledge test with regional norm requirements such as local taxi policies and regulations. The administrative department of taxis of local people’s governments at or above the district level may determine other examination contents on its own according to the regional service characteristics.

  What are the differences between the registration management of professional qualifications for cruise car and online ride-hailing drivers?

  The revised "Regulations on the Administration of Taxi Drivers’ Qualifications" basically retains the relevant requirements of the original registration regulations for cruise car drivers, and at the same time takes into account the characteristics of the new business model of online car-hailing, and stipulates that the registration and cancellation of online car-hailing drivers can be completed by reporting to the taxi administrative department where the licensing authority is located through the online car-hailing platform company.

  What optimization adjustments have been made in the further education of drivers?

  The revised "Regulations on the Administration of Taxi Driver Qualifications" on driver further education only put forward the result requirements of further education, and no longer make specific provisions on the method and process of further education, and make it clear that driver further education shall be organized and implemented by taxi operators, further implement the main responsibility of operators, and pay attention to the effectiveness of further education. At the same time, those who have not applied for registration for more than 3 years after obtaining the qualification certificate shall complete no less than 27 hours of further education before registration to better ensure service skills and professional quality.

New design language The new Tiggo 8 will be launched in the fourth quarter.

  A few days ago, we learned from relevant channels that the new Chery Tiggo 8 (internal code T1D) will be launched in the fourth quarter of this year. According to the previous spy photos, the new car has been completely replaced with a new design language, and the whole car is more restrained than the current model. In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged in-cylinder direct injection engine code-named F4J16, and its transmission is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

  "New Tiggo 8 spy photos"

  According to the previous spy photos, although there are strict camouflage stickers attached to the head/tail of the new car, we found some clues through the details. For example, the new car adopts a design style similar to the new Tiggo 7, and its integrated front grille with big mouth replaces the upper and lower split front grille design of the current model. With the long and narrow headlights on both sides and the similar three-stage air intake below, the car looks younger and more fashionable.

  As for the tail, the new car still uses temporary light sets, which has a certain gap with the official production car, so the reference value is not great. In terms of interior, the new car follows the current design style as a whole, and the three-spoke multi-function steering wheel and the suspended large-size central control LCD screen make the car look more fashionable and young.

  In terms of power, according to the information taken by the vehicle, the new car will be equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged in-cylinder direct injection engine code-named F4J16, and its transmission is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. For more information about the new car, we will continue to pay attention.
