Summer vacation "Sauvignon Blanc" exploded? Why is Yang Zi so beautiful this time?

Original, Zhong Sir Team, Showcase Republic

Has everyone watched the recent hit drama "Sauvignon Blanc"?!

From the first day of "Sauvignon Blanc" go LIVE, Gonghe Jun and his colleagues have been chasing after him. The first thing they do when they go to the office every day is to share the plot updated yesterday with their colleagues. Going to the restaurant downstairs to eat, the canteen aunts are all watching the drama while working, which is really exaggerated!

The netizens also divided different camps for the three male protagonists, arguing on the Internet every day about who the male protagonist is the true love of the female protagonist, and the battle is endless!!!

The female protagonist, Yang Zi, has also exploded because of the blessing of this drama, and has firmly sat on the throne of the female protagonist of the summer drama. But this time, Yang Zi is out of the circle not only because of her acting skills, but also because of her beauty!

Why is Yang Zi’s beauty so out of line this time? At first glance, she doesn’t seem to have changed anywhere, but why does she feel that everything has become beautiful?!

Lest there be any watchers who haven’t seen this drama, there is a threshold for reading it. Republic Jun first chatted with everyone about the configuration of this drama.

What kind of summer drama is it?

The TV drama "Sauvignon Blanc" mainly tells the story of the vast wilderness, where people, gods and demons live together, and the three kingdoms of Xiyan, Chenrong and Haoling stand together. The king of Haoling, Ji Jiuyao Xiaoyao (played by Yang Zi), who is living in the wilderness, has experienced a hundred years of suffering.

Sun Yunxuan (Zhang Wanyi, played), the king of Xiyan, who was his childhood sweetheart.

Qingqiu Young Master Tu Shanjing (Deng Wei, played).

The entanglement between the nine-headed demon Xiangliu (Tan Jianji, played).

Simply put, it is 1 woman chooses more men, who is my groom film and television version. (not)

This drama is adapted from Tong Hua’s novel of the same name. Although it is based on the emotional entanglement between several people, it is not limited to telling about love and hatred. In the drama, it is more about the tide of fate and personal choices, and everyone is pushed by the gears of fate to "be forced to choose their own final ending".

All the starring actors have double-online appearance and acting skills, and various famous scenes have been staged in turn. The entertainment hot search section of Tiantian Butcher List Weibo has started broadcasting until now.

On the one hand, all the leading actors are handsome guys and beautiful women. On the other hand, everyone noticed that Yang Zi, who was always mocked as a little local girl before, was so beautiful this time that even the passing ants had to praise her beauty.

From Wedding Dress Spokesperson to Temperament Muse

In fact, as early as May this year, Yang Zi was out of the circle because of her beauty in shooting magazines~

Since Yang Zi changed her makeup team this year, she feels like she has been reborn, as if she has opened the beautiful two veins of Ren Du.

Compared to the fluffy yarn evening dress of the princess in the previous studio.

Now it is more about subtracting makeup to highlight her own personality.

Yang Zi used to make up her sister next door who was mainly girly. Now that she is in her thirties, she has a gentle and stretched feeling in her temperament. Choosing the makeup of a mature woman’s style can highlight her charm.

In the film for "Claire Claire", she has a beautiful "strangers should not approach" posture, which is advanced and powerful.

This may be the confidence and aura of a successful career woman~

Yang Zi made his debut as a child star, and most of the characters who have been out of the circle have been the girl next door.

I don’t know if it’s the influence of the role setting or the team’s self-awareness restrictions on her. Before, Yang Zi’s styling team liked to arrange iron bangs for her very much.

Yang Zi’s facial features and eyebrows are a plus point, and thick bangs cover her eyebrows and eyes, which also cover her own agility.

The shape of iron bangs has its own millennial non-mainstream Spice Girl feeling, which makes people feel bulky and rustic when they see it. The general aesthetic trend in recent years is to pursue air and nature.

The team that realized this, made her "bangs with air feeling."

The effect, um…

It can be said that it is… difficult to judge…

I wonder if Yang Zi’s fans will cry all night when they see it…

The road to beauty in new forms

Fortunately, this year Yang Zi changed to a new makeup team, and the new official took over three fires, finally helping Yang Zi find the right style.

The new team made Yang Zi’s appearance from the perspective of external makeup.

I completely understand what it means: hairstyle is important! Atmosphere is important! (Key points!!!)

Beautiful women can not only be beautiful women with facial features, but also beautiful women with good temperament and atmosphere. This is a plus!

Other bloggers have made comparisons, and now Yang Zi can feel that she is a beautiful woman even if she covers her face.

The current team lengthened the length of Yang Zi’s bangs to the lower jaw line. The bangs are layered more and the connection is more natural.

Yang Zi’s native condition is mainly that the atrium is long and the eye distance is close, and the apple muscle ** the atrium is very large. There is baby fat on the cheeks, so there is a sense of cramping in the lower court when you don’t laugh. When you laugh, the apple muscle expands outward, so there are always people who said that her face is stiff before, which is also the source of her earthy air.

The new bangs can distract attention from her overly prominent apple muscles, and can also modify the hairline without a trace.

Compared with the previous bundle of hair, the current style uses more loose big wavy long curly hair, which has a sense of style. At the age of 30 +, it is indeed time to get rid of the little girl next door.

This kind of mature sister style with a little charm, let her complete the leap from the pro and the little beautiful woman to the beautiful woman.

In terms of makeup:

This time, Yang Zi’s most out-of-the-loop makeup in "Sauvignon Blanc" is: Qingti Jasmine Falling Water Makeup.

This makeup also emphasizes a sense of atmosphere.

Pay attention to the drawing method of eyebrows and eyelashes, strengthen the feeling of furry eyebrows and eyelashes, and enhance the original beauty.

Large areas of blush reduce facial whiteness, shorten the atrium, and add a sweet vibe.

In terms of overall facial grooming, high-gloss blush is used instead of grooming to increase the overall makeup atmosphere.

The base makeup is used to create a white and translucent feeling, with matte highlights superimposed on the roots, the tip of the nose, and under the eyes.

The hairstyle is fluffy and messy, just like the shape outside the drama, which weakens the weakness of the cheekbones and focuses the whole face on the eyebrows to highlight the advantages.

It’s more about creating atmosphere than skills.

What are you still doing? Take a small notebook and write down these beauty skills that can be learned!

After talking about so many external beauty factors, Republic Jun also wanted to talk about Yang Zi’s internal beauty factors.

Most articles about Yang Zi becoming beautiful focus on "she lost weight".

But Yang Zi is 168 tall and weighs 97. This body ratio is impossible to be fat in real life. In addition to Yang Zi’s fleshy physique, it is estimated that she is 40 kilograms thin and does not look like a lightning bolt.

Muse magic that everyone can learn

Compared with these Republican monarchs, the reasons why she is called a beautiful woman and amazes everyone are as follows:

1. Clear self-awareness

She knew exactly what she wanted and where her weaknesses and strengths lay.

When "Sauvignon Blanc" hit the air, some people still questioned her appearance conditions. Her response was "as long as you are firm, speak with your works, and want to say to all girls that confidence is the most beautiful, and everyone is born unique."

She knew that she had to focus on herself, calm down, and do her own thing. Don’t let herself in, put her mind and attention in a peaceful state.

In life, a person’s state of mind has a significant impact on their state of mind.

2. Continuous growth

Life is a long-distance race, more than endurance, the current position is not important.

Although Yang Zi has always been known as an acting school, many people still question her single role. And she used different roles to prove her ability to control the characters.

These resilience and the ability to continuously learn have contributed to the stretched and unhurried temperament she now has.

3. Expand your comfort zone, not step out of it

She once said: I’m not jumping out of my comfort zone, I’m broadening my comfort zone.

There is no need to work hard for the sake of hard work. Instead of going up and down in the circle where you are completely unaware and uncomfortable, it is better to be yourself in the present moment. Open up the circle in the scope of your familiar field, and use the ability you currently control and can be handy, like a god.

This is also one of the ways for her to find herself after entering her thirties.

In many traditional beauty concepts, thinness is important and age is important. But Gonghe Jun believes that time brings us not only the passage of time, but also the feedback of experience and the precipitation of temperament.

This is something that 18-year-old us and 28-year-old us don’t perceive.

As you go through the years, you will find that some of the things that the years have taken away will return to you in another way.

In this fast-paced and anxiety-prone era, reject weight anxiety and age anxiety. Become beautiful with confidence and age gracefully.

Time passes, but elegance never goes out of style.

Republic Jun hopes that everyone will find their own style and transform into a beautiful woman!

Go! Go to the same clock in Peng Yuyan Shenzhen Park

Original, special commentator Xie Weifeng, released in Shenzhen

How did you meet Peng Yuyan by chance?

If this question is answered by the people of Shenzhen

There is a high probability that you will receive a knowing smile.

Recently, the news that Peng Yuyan went to Shenzhen Bijia Mountain Sports Park to run was on the hot search. He experienced intelligent fitness equipment, and the interaction with AI made him cry out for novelty, praising again and again: "Shenzhen’s parks are very powerful!"

If Wu Yanzu is an adjective, then Peng Yuyan should be a verb, a movement of sports. As a high-quality idol, Peng Yuyan’s story of going from a little fat to a figure benchmark in the entertainment industry has inspired many young people to sweat like rain on the sports field and say "no" with effort and greasy!

When he came to Shenzhen Park to run, Peng Yuyan could be said to have done a "high score" multiple-choice question correctly. Some netizens called Peng Yuyan from the air: "Move to Shenzhen to live, you can go to the park to exercise when you have time. There are many parks in Shenzhen, you can run in the grass, under the flowers and trees, on the mountains, by the river, on the lake, and on the beach…" From these words, there is a sense of happiness that "the city is in the garden, the garden is in the city", and those who know Shenzhen can feel the "sincerity" in it.

"Shenzhen Release" Message

Now, isn’t there a "20-minute theory in the park" popular? Studies have shown that spending a short amount of time outdoors every day can make people happier. Even if you don’t exercise, just spending 20 minutes in the park every day can make you better. It is research that cannot be decoupled from reality. The search for samples is particularly important, and Shenzhen is the most suitable city to verify the authenticity of the "20-minute theory in the park". On this less than 2,000 square kilometers of land, there are 1,290 parks of all sizes, and the service radius of the park green space is 500 meters. The "Spring Mountain" in this city at a glance is the main one "Push the window to see green, open the door and enter the park".

As a first-tier city in China, Shenzhen is undoubtedly at the forefront of the country in terms of economic quantity. Up to now, an inch of land is not enough to describe the preciousness of land resources, and every square meter has careful calculations. The trade-off between priority and priority is a test of how Pengcheng can "draw the most beautiful pattern on a piece of white paper," while the large amount of green for park construction shows the city’s heart.

"In Shenzhen, I visit five parks in one go" is really not just talking about it. This year, the "Five Gardens Unicom" in the center of Shenzhen, the current Meilin Mountain Park – Yinhu Mountain Park – Bijia Mountain Park – Central Park – Lianhuashan Park can already travel all the way. How can 20 minutes be enough when you open your door?

Speaking of Bijia Mountain Park, it is the place where Peng Yuyan clocked in this run. As the first sports park in Shenzhen, it has become a running destination for many Shenzhen people since it was refurbished and opened in 2023. However, for Peng Yuyan, a veteran sports enthusiast, to say that it is powerful, it really has a bit of hardcore strength.

Shenzhen urban management

The 5G smart trail can connect the data of citizens in multiple stages of exercise on the designated line. After the "recognition pole" facial recognition, it can easily perform sports data analytics such as speed measurement, heat, and information display such as health guidance. In the information age, running is not pure running without spreading your legs, but to achieve "number" in "new", so that the information of runners can be seen at a glance, so that full emotional value accompanies sports. With technology and no hard work, the reason why Shenzhen Bijiashan Park has become a holy place for runners to clock in is not unrelated to a city goal.

Every city has its own colorful dreams. Forming a high-quality sports life circle with an international leading level and building it into an internationally famous sports city is the blueprint plan of Pengcheng. As a city that has hosted the Summer Universiade, Shenzhen’s sports atmosphere is "fitness every day, activities every week, events every month, and breakthroughs every year." Countless sports enthusiasts like Peng Yuyan are active in large and small parks, and they answer the realistic question of "Where to go for fitness?". Instead of fearing old and sick, it is better to spend some time on health. Shenzhen parks tell the poetry and distance in the lives of citizens.

It had to be said that Peng Yuyan ran once in Bijia Mountain Park, and the amount of information was quite large. The queue was waiting for the experience device where people interacted with AI. Because they had never seen it before, netizens joked that Peng Yuyan had "never seen the world". Behind this, the amount of "AI" in Shenzhen continued to rise steadily.

From "thousands of industries" to "thousands of households", the work report of the Shenzhen Municipal Government in 2024 mentioned that the number of urban AI + scene applications announced in Shenzhen has reached 41. When the "meridians" of the smart city are extended into the park, there will be Peng Yuyan’s first "early adopter". Let the very ordinary sports reveal the height again and again, which shows how a city is "deep AI you".

"Little’Peng ‘friend, can you tell me in advance next time you come to Shenzhen Park to run the clock in advance and meet someone by chance!" The enthusiasm for interaction between Shenzhen citizens and high-quality idols can be seen from this. Self-discipline is freedom. Peng Yuyan "changed" himself through exercise, so that thousands of ordinary people can also meet a better version of themselves through exercise. When you come to the clock in Shenzhen Park and meet "Peng Yuyan" around the corner, isn’t that you and me who exude dopamine all over? Nowadays, when exercising and leisure in Shenzhen parks, many citizens will have a deeper understanding of words related to a better life such as "health", "green" and "happiness": get moving, feel the beautiful Shenzhen with mountains and seas, and embrace a healthy and happy life.

The implementation of the new car-hailing policy has reached its first anniversary, and it is urgent to improve and correct it

   The other party said that the place was spacious and they could sleep, but the result was a large truck. The weather was excellent and the road conditions were excellent.

   On July 28, 2016, the Ministry of Transport, MIIT and other 7 ministries and commissions jointly issued the "Interim Measures for the Management of Online Booking Taxi Business Services", which came into effect on November 1, 2016. Our country immediately became the first country in the world to recognize the legitimacy of online car-hailing. Now the implementation of this new policy on online car-hailing has reached the "first year". However, compared with the beginning of the break, the praise is not strong now, and various online car-hailing problems are emerging in an endless stream.

   Experts pointed out that the New Deal has clarified the legal status of online car-hailing, enabling online car-hailing to enter the stage of standardized development from brutal growth. However, new problems have arisen in the process of policy implementation, and new mechanisms need to be established for law enforcement supervision by relevant departments. The provisional implementation rules in various places still need to be continuously revised and improved.

   Taxi-hailing difficulties still exist

   In May 2010, Yidao Yongche was established, which opened the curtain on the online car-hailing industry. Since then, platforms such as Didi Dache, Kuaidi, and Uber have entered the market one after another. The strategy of "burning money and subsidies" to occupy the market has caused the online car-hailing market to grow wildly. In 2016, the introduction of the new policy on online car-hailing proposed for the first time to include Internet special cars in the management of reserved taxi cars, and specific requirements were given in various aspects such as platform online car-hailing license plates, driver qualification identification, and vehicle access.

   According to data released by the Ministry of Transport on July 28 this year, after the implementation of the new policy on online car-hailing, 24 provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions) had issued implementation opinions, 133 cities had announced implementation details, and 86 cities had publicly solicited opinions.

   Li Qiang is a driver of a company in Shijiazhuang City, and has a lot of free time due to the nature of his work. In 2015, seeing the prosperity of the online car-hailing market, he bought a BYD sedan, settled in two online car-hailing platforms, and became an online car-hailing driver. "At that time, he specially bought a small-displacement domestic car, which could earn more money at a low cost, but now it is restricted." Li Qiang told the Legal Daily reporter that his car has a wheelbase of 2,600mm and an exhaust capacity of 1.5 liters, which does not meet the requirements of Shijiazhuang City for online car-hailing.

   On July 21 this year, the "Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Business Services in Shijiazhuang City" came into effect, stipulating that vehicles applying for online car-hailing business should be passenger cars with a number plate and registered in the city with more than 5 seats (including 5 seats) and less than 7 seats (including 7 seats), with a wheelbase of not less than 2675 mm and a displacement of not less than 1.8L or 1.4T. The driver engaged in online car-hailing services has a household registration at the place of service or a residence permit at the place of service.

   In comparison, the regulations of Shijiazhuang City are not strict. In Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other places, in addition to the various standards stipulated by the state, the new policy of online car-hailing also requires the driver’s household registration, license plate, model, etc., and the vehicle wheelbase and displacement requirements are higher. For example, the Beijing New Policy requires that after a private car becomes an online car-hailing, it must be changed to an operating vehicle, the driver is a Beijing household registration, the vehicle is a Beijing license plate, the displacement of a 5-seat sedan is not less than 1.8 liters, and the vehicle wheelbase is not less than 2650 mm.

   These requirements will undoubtedly many platforms net about the car driver out of the door. Some media reports, Beijing net about the car exposure draft released, a car rental company in the city has 1/3 of the driver returned the car, and even some of the vehicles have not yet expired on the lease.

   Now, Li Qiang has quit the online car-hailing industry. "Although Shijiazhuang’s official new policy has been much looser than the previous exposure draft, my car still does not meet the requirements, and I have to stop when I get checked later. I have to take exams and apply for various things. Now I don’t earn as much as before, so I simply don’t do it." Li Qiang said.

   Like Li Qiang, with the end of the transition period for the implementation of the New Deal across the country, more and more online car-hailing drivers and vehicles have withdrawn due to non-compliance with standards, causing the phenomenon of difficult and expensive taxis to take again in many cities across the country.

   According to a survey by Didi Chuxing, the difficulty of hailing a taxi in June 2017 increased by 12.4% in Beijing, 17.7% in Shanghai, 13.2% in Guangzhou, and 22.5% in Shenzhen compared with June 2016. Among the cities with reduced difficulty, Chengdu decreased by 1.8% and Sanya decreased by 1.0%.

   Liu Ting, who often travels between Beijing and Shijiazhuang, told reporters that even during off-peak hours and non-bad weather, taking a taxi outside Beijing’s CBD is likely to require queuing in the app to order a car, and Shijiazhuang is not too good. In the past, when you opened the software map, there were no more cars. "The queuing function was only launched by Didi this year. The appearance of this function is actually to admit that you have to wait longer during peak hours. This function is to retain users and let you not give up." Liu Ting said.

   Zhu Wei, deputy director of the Communication Law Research Center of China University of Political Science and Law, believes that the difficulty of taking a taxi is due to the small number of taxis, and the difficulty of taking a taxi is due to the high price. After the formalization of online taxi-hailing, the difficulty of taking a taxi is increasing. In the final analysis, the entry threshold for platforms, cars, and people is still too high.

   In response to the problem that it is difficult and expensive to take a taxi after the new policy of online car-hailing, Wu Chungeng, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Transport, said that for the difficulty of taking a taxi, the new business format of Internet + online car-hailing is standardized and continuously cultivated. Ultimately, a diverse, differentiated and quality taxi travel service system will be formed, and the market will be gradually improved to alleviate the demand for mass travel. At the same time, it is called for all localities to increase the implementation of the public transportation priority strategy.

   "Grey Area" after New Deal

   Feng Haoze (a pseudonym) is an online car-hailing driver in Shijiazhuang City. He drives a southeastern DX3 SUV with a wheelbase of 2610mm and a displacement of 1.5 liters. "I definitely don’t meet the conditions, but I don’t meet the conditions. There are only a few cars that can meet the conditions." Although Shijiazhuang’s new car-hailing policy has set a three-month transition period. The transition period has expired on October 20 this year, and the new policy has been officially implemented, Feng Haoze said he is not worried: "I have already communicated with the platform. The platform said that it is fine and will never check. They are afraid that I will not run away, so they keep giving me relief."

   When it comes to the relevant qualifications for running online car-hailing, Feng Haoze said that he has obtained the "Online Booking Taxi Driver’s License", but no matter how specific it is, he can’t explain it. "I have done everything else, and the rest should be applied by the platform. Anyway, it will not delay the sports car." Feng Haoze believes that for online car-hailing, the relevant departments will definitely not seriously investigate, "If you can’t see it outside the online car-hailing, how can you check it? Can you still find this car all over the street? Besides, as long as you check it, you will get stuck in traffic. If you really want to investigate them, you will be suspected of’fishing and law enforcement ‘, and you will be scolded to death." Feng Haoze said.

   In fact, although the new policies for online car-hailing in various places have passed the transition period and begun to be officially implemented, there are still illegal vehicles and drivers, and many platforms, drivers, and online car-hailing vehicles are walking in "gray areas" and continue to hide from regulators.

   In July this year, the media released the relevant data, our country has more than 300 prefecture-level cities, has announced the details of the reform, has been or is seeking opinions add up to only more than 210; Didi, Shenzhou two major platforms to obtain business licenses in the city were only 22, 33, the national network about the driver license only about 100,000 drivers, the national network has obtained legal identity about the car driver, less than a drop of a platform peak driver total 0.6%.

   Some experts said that the relatively large online car-hailing market, the small number of online car-hailing drivers who have obtained legal status, not only shows that the high threshold of the new online car-hailing policy has "scared away" a group of drivers, but also shows that there are some problems with the relevant approval. Among them, the most criticized is that some urban online car-hailing drivers have too difficult test propositions.

   Which dynasty did Huang Zongxi belong to? Which country is the mascot of the bat? Since the beginning of this year, some media have continuously reported some "strange" test questions in the local online car-hailing driver exam. According to reports, the Shenzhen online car-hailing driver test question bank has a total of 148 pages and more than 3,600 questions, ranging from traffic laws and regulations to human geography, place names and routes, vehicle safety, to English, Cantonese, Mandarin, and etiquette. The online car-hailing drivers who participated in the exam complained that "if you want to drive an online car, you must know astronomy and geography from above." The passing rate of the first online car-hailing driver exam in Shenzhen was only 7%.

   Wu Chungeng said in July this year that in response to this situation, the Ministry of Transport formulated relevant training materials in a timely manner and actively guided local governments to take targeted measures to create a good test preparation environment for localities and candidates. At present, the exams across the country have entered the normal track, and the test pass rate has reached 65%. Later, on September 8, the Ministry of Transport issued the "Notice on Reforming the Work Related to the Taxi Driver Qualification Examination" to simplify the test content.

   In some cities, relevant platforms have begun to gradually change the rules for dispatching orders in accordance with the local new policies, but for restrictions such as household registration and models, although some urban transportation departments have begun to investigate and punish off-site license plates or non-local household registration online car-hailing in crowded areas such as airports and railway stations, but in more places, especially in small and medium-sized cities, relevant departments have not kept up with supervision and law enforcement, making a large number of online car-hailing safe to walk in "gray areas".

   The New Deal urgently needs to be improved and revised

   "Our government is very open, and the Chinese government is the first in the world to legalize online car-hailing, which is a very big step," Liu Qing, president of Didi Chuxing, said at a forum in Dalian’s Summer Davos in June 2017. At the same time, he admitted: "But at the same time, when online car-hailing is launched, there will definitely be a gap between left and right in the implementation of various places."

   In terms of operating online car-hailing without a license, the Interim Measures of the Ministry of Communications and other seven ministries and commissions and many other cities only stipulate fines for online car-hailing platforms, without more severe penalties. Shijiazhuang, on the other hand, stipulates that if the platform company fails the assessment, it will be ordered to rectify within a time limit. During the rectification period, it can suspend the acceptance of its new vehicle and driver registration and other businesses; if it refuses to rectify or rectify and fails to meet the standards, it will be cancelled according to law and the right to operate will be withdrawn. "Reclaim the right to operate" means revoking the platform’s business license, which can be described as "one kill" for the online car-hailing platform.

   Either the relevant regulations are more relaxed and reasonable, or more stringent law enforcement supervision has become a dilemma in the implementation of the new policy for online car-hailing in some cities.

   The introduction of the new policy of online car-hailing was originally to make the online car-hailing market have laws to abide by and develop healthily. Its ultimate goal is to provide passengers with safe and high-quality services, provide citizens with more choices for travel, and make the taxi industry more standardized and efficient. However, the management of online car-hailing in some places still cannot get out of the curse of "one tube will die, and one tube will be messy" in the past.

   In Zhu Wei’s opinion, in the current online car-hailing market, the platform insists on doing this, and the online car-hailing drivers and passengers also think this is right, so there can only be a deviation between market demand and government regulations. However, for the laws and regulations that have come into effect, participants must strictly abide by them, and the industry will find some way out, and these ways will become "gray areas" between black and white. "The existence of’gray areas’ first damages the credibility of the government, and laws and regulations should be strictly enforced." Zhu Wei said that the relevant new policies should solve problems during the temporary and trial implementation process, so as to go better after a long trial.

   Some experts believe that the current restrictions on online car-hailing in some cities in terms of household registration and models are debatable. The restrictions on the household registration of online car-hailing drivers are suspected of restricting the legal labor rights of workers, and the restrictions on displacement are also contrary to green and environmentally friendly travel. "The introduction of some local online car-hailing regulations is not only to ensure travel safety and comfort, but also to give the old industry a space for compromise?" Zhu Wei said that many of the current new policies for online car-hailing deserve deep consideration and revision.

   According to relevant data, in the past 13 years, the number of taxis in the four major first-tier cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen has increased very limited, while the population size and per capita disposable income have increased significantly. Among them, the number of taxis in Beijing and Shanghai increased by only 9% and 4% respectively in 2013. The population size increased by 53% and 49%, and the per capita GDP increased by 289% and 276% respectively.

   This shows that the online car-hailing market is huge and the future development is still limitless. But in fact, since the implementation of the new policy on online car-hailing for one year, based on relevant data, only Shenzhou and Shouqi have continued to grow in the number of users of online car-hailing platforms.

   Wu Chungeng said that the Ministry of Transport will further improve and perfect relevant supporting measures and policies, give play to the role of checks and balances in the social credit system, formulate a memorandum of joint punishment for serious illegal and dishonest online car-hailing operators and drivers, establish an industry blacklist system and market exit mechanism, and continuously improve the quality and level of industry services, so that passengers can have a real sense of gain in the reform.

Tencent Jiang Jie: Tencent Hunyuan model has been connected to more than 180 businesses

Beijing News Shell Financial News (reporter Sun Wenxuan, Lin Zi) "Tencent is continuing to explore the application scenarios of large models. At present, more than 180 internal businesses have been connected to Tencent’s hybrid model for internal testing." On November 9, Jiang Jie, vice president of Tencent Group, said at the Wuzhen Summit of the 2023 World Internet Conference.

According to its introduction, as a practical-level model developed by Tencent, since its debut to the public in September 2023, the application of Tencent’s hybrid model in internal business has been continuously deepened, and at the same time, it has explored landing scenarios in various fields such as cultural communication, production efficiency improvement, and scientific and technological inclusion to explore application value.

In terms of cultural communication, Tencent’s multilingual translation and the latest Text-to-Image, Vincent 3D and other capabilities can effectively improve communication and help people from cross-cultural backgrounds communicate better. In terms of production efficiency, Tencent’s mixed model is applied in professional design scenarios, which can significantly improve the production efficiency of material creation. In terms of technology and universal benefits, Tencent’s mixed model is serving corresponding scenarios through strong knowledge reserve capabilities. For example, in the medical field, the big model can become a doctor’s little assistant, quickly understanding the needs of patients through intelligent guidance, and helping them find suitable departments or other professional medical services.

At the scene, Jiang Jie also demonstrated the Tencent Hybrid Model’s "Text-to-Video" capabilities.

Some local rules strictly restrict online car-hailing, so it should be "managed" as a taxi?

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, August 27. The announcement of the Interim Measures for the management of online car-hailing is about to be "full moon", but the formulation of local rules is slow. Recently, some places have successively announced the exposure draft of the detailed rules for the management of online car-hailing, which has strictly restricted the entry threshold and operation mode, causing controversy. The public is worried that the management of online car-hailing will follow the old road of taxi management.

  The formulation of local online car-hailing rules and taxi reform are key reforms in the field of people’s livelihood that affect the nerves of hundreds of millions of people, and they are also a vane for observing the implementation of local reforms, the effectiveness of streamlining administration and decentralization, and the sense of gain for the people. How to avoid local online car-hailing management "old wine in new bottles", and even the "landing deviation" of reform, is a new test question for local governments at all levels.

  Is there a place to "manage" online car-hailing into taxis?

  The Ministry of Communications and other departments jointly issued the "Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Business Services" (hereinafter referred to as the Interim Measures) and the "Guiding Opinions on Deepening Reform and Promoting the Healthy Development of the Taxi Industry" (hereinafter referred to as the Guiding Opinions) issued by the General Office of the State Council. After the introduction, there was a lot of applause. However, the access standards, operation quantity and price details of online car-hailing are determined by local governments according to the regulations.

  Therefore, the details of the implementation of the online car-hailing policy have become the focus of attention. At present, Lanzhou, Jinan and other places have successively consulted the society or taxi driver groups on the implementation details of online car-hailing. From the disclosed local consultation version, although each has its own characteristics, there are strict thresholds for the number of online car-hailing and operating standards.

  The positioning of online car-hailing is higher than that of cruise cars. The person in charge of Lanzhou City Transportation Office said that the model, quality and configuration of online car-hailing are obviously better than ordinary cruise taxis, and the price is also higher than that of cruise cars. According to the "11 Questions and Answers on Hot Issues in Deepening Taxi Reform" jointly issued by Jinan Transportation Management Center and Jinan Taxi Association to taxi companies, Jinan online car-hailing and cruise cars are positioned differently. "The grade of online car-hailing vehicles should be significantly higher than that of local mainstream cruise taxis, providing high-quality differentiated travel services for citizens."

  Lanzhou will strictly control the development scale of online car-hailing, reasonably formulate the number of online car-hailing vehicles according to market demand, and implement reasonable control on online car-hailing at the access end. According to estimates, the saturation state of operating vehicles in Lanzhou should be around 15,000, while the current number of taxis in Lanzhou is 10,000, plus the government’s investment in taxis in the next two years, it should reach 12,000. According to this calculation, the number of cars left for online car-hailing is only about 3,000.

  There are stricter requirements for the operation of online car-hailing. According to the plan of Jinan soliciting opinions, online car-hailing may be limited to more than B-class cars, and it must be sprayed with proprietary logos. According to the provisional measures, when the mileage of online car-hailing reaches 600,000 kilometers, it will be forcibly scrapped. When the mileage does not reach 600,000 kilometers but the service life reaches 8 years, it will be withdrawn from the operation of online car-hailing.

  Wang Jun, an associate professor at China University of Political Science and Law, believes that once local government departments adopt strict quantity control and freight control for online car-hailing, online car-hailing will be no different from traditional taxis, but only taxis booked through the mobile Internet.

  Will reforming "autonomy" become an "umbrella company"?

  The disclosure of the local version of the online car-hailing policy has caused many citizens, drivers, and experts and scholars to express concern. Some people believe that these brewing details do not reflect the spirit of the Ministry of Transport and the State Office documents and the characteristics of the sharing economy, and they have to return to the old road of taxi control.

  Wang Xin, vice-president of Didi, said that some specific provisions of the detailed rules of Lanzhou and Jinan for consultation are contrary to the interim measures. For example, the requirements for online car-hailing to have a unified logo, provide taxi invoices, and withdraw from the same six-year period as taxis cannot be found in the interim measures. However, restricting the number of online car-hailing, requiring models and prices to be higher than taxis, and setting prices by the government follow the idea of quantity and price control in the taxi industry, which is inconsistent with the market-led and people’s interests-based policy spirit.

  Some local ride-hailing owners are also concerned that the number of online ride-hailing restrictions will lead to "license speculation" and rent-seeking behavior. Yin Hao, the head of a special car company in Nanjing, said that he is most concerned about the restrictions on models, prices and quantities in the local rules for online ride-hailing. Yin Hao believes that some of the current exposure drafts blindly use the excuse of providing differentiated services to raise the model requirements for online ride-hailing operations, which will cause cost waste in actual operation. And local departments want to strictly control the number and price of online ride-hailing cars, which is an "offside" behavior of the government, which is not conducive to the promotion and development of the online ride-hailing operation market.

  "Now, there are more than 10,000 online car-hailing vehicles in Lanzhou. If we have to control the scale of 3,000, on the one hand, it will take away the’rice bowl ‘of most online car-hailing drivers, and on the other hand, it will make online car-hailing licenses a hot and scarce resource. Will this create conditions for power rent-seeking and corruption?" Mr. Chen, a Lanzhou citizen, expressed his concerns to reporters.

  Many citizens have also raised concerns about whether the "difficulty of hailing a taxi" will worsen. An online car-hailing driver in Jinan told reporters that Jinan wants to set the level of online car-hailing to "be significantly higher than the local mainstream cruise taxi". But judging from the current situation, the details in the pipeline may make Jinan online car-hailing "annihilated".

  Chen Mengyang, a resident of Hefei who has been using online car-hailing to travel, said: "Whether it is the number of restrictions or the model grade is higher than the taxi, it will inevitably lead to the reduction of the number of online car-hailing options for citizens. In addition, once the price of online car-hailing is significantly higher than that of taxis, ordinary people will pay more for travel."

  How can the reform of top-level design not be discounted?

  Why did the temporary measures for online car-hailing, which reflect the determination to deepen reform, win unanimous applause from netizens, but the local version of the detailed rules for soliciting opinions made many netizens shout "the spirit of reform has changed"?

  The experts interviewed believe that the key is to formulate local detailed rules, so that online car-hailing and taxis can improve efficiency and service in fair competition through technological and management innovation, and better meet the travel needs of the masses. If the local government adopts administrative measures to force the implementation of "misplaced operation", it is not in line with the spirit of reform.

  Wang Jun, an associate professor at the China University of Political Science and Law, said that before the emergence of online car-hailing, there were also discordant factors in the taxi industry. On the one hand, the "share money" makes taxi drivers dissatisfied; on the other hand, after the subcontracting or transfer of taxi operation rights in some places, the entrenched interests are formed. When the government issues new licenses or withdraws old licenses, it will cause license holders to resist. Therefore, restricting the development of online car-hailing does not mean that the problems existing in taxis will be solved.

  The latest "China Internet Network Development Statistics Report" shows that in the first half of 2016, the number of online booking taxi users was 159 million, and the number of online booking car users was 122 million. Data provided by Didi Chuxing shows that the current Didi platform includes 15 million registered drivers such as special cars and ride-hailing, among which the driver group from the capacity-reducing industry exceeds one million. Among these drivers, about 15% have been laid off from the enterprise to drive full-time, and more than 80% of drivers drive part-time on the platform.

  "Judging from Didi’s research, the motivation for drivers in the capacity reduction industry to join Didi is to earn extra money to subsidize their families after their own work. For them, driving a car is a choice to obtain new employment opportunities and life security." Wang Xin believes that once the rules similar to Lanzhou and Jinan are implemented, some drivers will lose flexible employment opportunities and their stable income will also be affected.

  "To protect the interests of taxi operators and ensure the smooth transition and common development of the old and new formats, the key is to change the rigid management system of traditional taxis, re-determine the rights and responsibilities between enterprises and drivers, and’reduce the burden ‘for front-line taxi practitioners. Gradually make the operation and supervision of taxis closer to online car-hailing." Wang Jun believes that excessive regulation of online car-hailing not only fails to solve the old problems of the old format, but also hinders the development of new formats. Local governments must carefully consider this.

  "Under the market economy environment, urban travel needs to be innovative and differentiated services. But how to achieve differentiation is not something the government can stipulate." Zhang Guohua, director of the Urban Center Comprehensive Transportation Planning Institute of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that urban transportation planning should follow the laws of the market, what kind of pricing is the most reasonable, who can provide travel services, and how many vehicles are the most suitable. These should not be stipulated by administrative orders. All stakeholders should be allowed to fully game in the market to achieve a dynamic balance in the industry.

  He Wensheng, a professor at the School of Management of Lanzhou University, said that in the "Internet +" era, whether it is taxis or online car-hailing, they should be liberalized and "loosened" for their development. Local regulations for the implementation of online car-hailing should encourage fair competition, balance the interests of all parties, and should not restrict the development of new business models for the sake of "stability".

Nineteen years of love and never forgetting, Leslie Cheung’s "Love" concert ultra-clear restoration version premieres globally

At 18:41 PM on April 1, 2003, the legendary Leslie Cheung passed away quietly at the age of 46.

The "Passion" concert showcased Leslie Cheung’s enthusiasm for the Chinese music scene and has become a classic in the hearts of many audiences. Some media have given the concert a high evaluation that "from the performance form, artistic concept, costume props, and audience response, it represents the highest level of Chinese concerts, and no one has surpassed it so far."

He used a concert to fully perform his tortuous and legendary life, and also brought an avant-garde, gorgeous and elegant audio-visual feast to all the audience.

In order to reproduce Leslie Cheung’s classic work, on April 1 this year, the top algorithm team of Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab repaired, Tencent Music Entertainment Group joined hands with Universal Music’s record label Polygold, and jointly presented the "Leslie Cheung 2000" Hot Love "Concert Ultra HD Repair Edition" for the first time in the world in conjunction with Tencent Cloud, WeChat Channels, Tencent Video and other teams.

This is also the first time that the master tape of "Hot Love" concert has been restored by ultra-high definition, which has been treasured by Polygram Records before. Thanks to the blessing of digital restoration technology, this "era symbol" that has been in the dust for more than 21 years has been unlocked for the first time, and it has been broadcast live through WeChat Channels, Tencent Video, Tencent Music Entertainment Group and other platforms, reliving the peerless style on the stage of Leslie Cheung.

The dust-covered master tape has been restored for the first time in 21 years

When it comes to the "Hot Love" concert, no amount of praise can be overstated. Every year on April 1, many Rong fans will express their nostalgia and pay tribute to the classics by sharing Zhang Guorong’s works and other forms.

Now 21 years of spring and autumn, limited by the storage medium of shooting equipment and video materials at that time, now Polygold treasures 21 years of master tape and the concert version of "Heat · Love" circulated on the Internet, the video image quality is generally poor.

In view of this, Tencent Music Entertainment Group contacted Universal Music at the beginning of this year, and the two sides immediately decided to start the restoration of the "Hot Love" concert master tape through multimedia laboratory restoration technology.

After months of preparation, the master tape of Leslie Cheung’s "Passion" concert was restored for the first time, and it was presented as scheduled at 8 pm on April 1 in the form of a global live broadcast, which aroused countless fans’ resonance.

"Keep the warmest side of the world, the vast sea of people to warm up and spend the coldest day…" In the live stream of the concert that night, many fans played Leslie Cheung’s classic lyrics on the public screen to express their nostalgia for Leslie Cheung and his classic works.

Some users also left messages saying that in the ultra-clear restored version, Leslie Cheung’s face, stage and other details are clearly visible, giving him a feeling of dreaming back to the year 2000.

Leslie Cheung is no longer a simple name, but a cultural mark of an era. With the rise of Cantonese pop music, Polygram witnessed the golden age of Hong Kong’s recording industry, and Leslie Cheung is one of the most influential singers under Polygram.

"Leslie Cheung, as a king-level singer, can achieve self-breakthrough and face himself sincerely in concerts, which is one of the reasons why he cannot be replaced in the Chinese music scene," said Ding Huifeng, a music critic. "A lot of the content shown in the’Heat · Love ‘concert is very advanced, and even in 2022, looking back, you will still think that this concert is very remarkable."

Music brings warmth, and the WeChat Channels "Music Yueyue Club" ecosystem is thriving. Last December, Westlife’s world’s first live online concert appeared on WeChat Channels, attracting over 27 million people to watch and break the circle. At the beginning of 2022, WeChat Channels and the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League jointly held a large-scale live broadcast of "Chasing Light", and the "Chasing Light" concert also brought strength and warmth to many audiences at the beginning of the new year.

In addition, musicians such as Chen Hongyuhua have also launched "online concerts" on the WeChat Channels platform one after another. Coupled with the continuous release of short video works and live broadcasts by many medium and long-tail music creators, high-quality music content is constantly being presented to the majority of WeChat Channels users. In the context of the epidemic, even if you haven’t seen a concert for a long time, "opening WeChat Channels to listen to live and watch concerts" is becoming a daily routine for more and more people.

The technical challenges behind "immersion" fixes

"With the help of the laboratory’s repair engine and other technologies, the clarity of the concert video can be restored to the greatest extent. However, for the fast color and picture switching in the concert video, plus the problem of low definition of the video material, how to repair the old as the old, to bring the audience an immersive experience, is a big challenge for the team."

Restoring historical video works and even damaged images is not a problem for experienced multimedia labs, but upon receiving this demand, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab expert researcher Xia Zhen and his team were still rather perturbed.

After many studies and technical verification, Xia Zhen and his team set a hard standard for this restoration work, that is, the restored image can bring a "sense of presence" to Rong fans. And the technical password to unlock this "key of time" is the "Ultra-Clear Immersion Repair Engine" of the Multimedia Lab.

Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab is one of the world’s leading multimedia communication and processing R & D teams. It has accumulated complete solutions and leading technical levels in the fields of multimedia data transmission and compression, intelligent fusion media, and interactive immersive media. It also has deep technical accumulation in the field of image restoration. It has a number of industry-leading self-developed old film restoration technologies such as "Ultra Clear Immersion Repair Engine".

The repair engine has many highlights, such as "face repair", which is based on the face repair model developed by Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab, using face detection, face repair and fusion modules to transfer image repair to the video process, adding inter-frame stability processing, solving face detection stability, optimizing multi-angle face effects, and solving complex scene problems encountered by dynamic faces in videos.

In order to create a "face-to-face" effect, the lab team also made special algorithm adjustments to the eye details of Leslie Cheung’s concert. A still frame of Leslie Cheung in the center of the stage was taken from the restored video, and after zooming in, it seemed that the image outline of the stage could be seen through his eyes.

"As a glory fan, during the restoration process, my brother’s smile gradually appeared in front of my eyes, which also touched me deeply. I am also very happy to be able to contribute to the inheritance of classic images through technology!" After watching the live broadcast of the restored version of the concert that night, and the positive interaction and feedback from the audience on the public screen, Xia Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Technology has great potential to help the inheritance of classic culture

In fact, behind the wide attention caused by the live broadcast of the ultra-high definition restoration version of Leslie Cheung’s "Heat · Love" concert, it reflects that there are a large number of classic film and television works and cultural images in China that need to be restored urgently. At present, digital technology is becoming an important driving force for driving cultural inheritance and promoting the development of the ultra-high-resolution video industry.

MIIT, the State Administration of Radio and Television, Central Radio and Television jointly issued the "ultra-high-resolution video industry development action plan" clearly stated that by 2022, the total scale of the ultra-high-resolution video industry will exceed 4 trillion yuan, and the production of ultra-high definition content will exceed 30,000 hours per year. However, in the production of ultra-high definition content, there are pain points such as high cost and low efficiency of ultra-high definition content production, classic old films and video to high definition, which have become key factors restricting the development of the industry.

At present, Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab has formed a relatively complete matrix of intelligent old film restoration technology. In addition to Leslie Cheung’s "Love" concert, he has also been deeply involved in the high definition restoration of classic films and television dramas and precious historical images such as "Kangxi Dynasty" and "The World’s Family".

"We can see the value of digital technology in helping classic video works and traditional culture through the restoration project of Polygram’s" Passion "concert. Our team is also actively cooperating with some cultural institutions to explore the restoration of more classic film and television works."

Dr. Liu Shan, an outstanding scientist at Tencent and general manager of Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab, said that Tencent Cloud Multimedia Lab will continue to explore the social value of digital technology in the future, promote the application of multimedia technology in multiple industrial fields, and practice Tencent’s sustainable social value innovation to help the inheritance of classic culture.

Can the delivery staff enter the community freely? Identity verification can be achieved, but the effect remains to be tested

  Our reporter, Peng Wenzhuo

  With the explosive growth of online ordering, it has become the norm for takeaways to enter and exit the community. However, wearing takeaway clothes as a "pass" to enter and exit the community has caused chaos one after another. News such as "men pretending to be takeaway brothers stealing" are common, making takeaway delivery pose a hidden danger to the safety of the community.

  Should the community prohibit takeaway personnel from entering and leaving?

  At 7 PM on January 1, Wang Pengfei had just trotted out of Changhewan Community in the northwest second ring road of Beijing and quickly boarded the electric car to start the next business, because he was delayed for ten minutes.

  Wang Pengfei, a deliveryman at a takeaway platform, said that many communities now do not allow delivery electric vehicles to drive in, so they can only park the car outside and run in by themselves. "There are several common situations where deliverymen deliver takeout to communities: if they are not allowed in, they run in or stuff it in the small fence door; sometimes they just wait for the predecessors to swipe their cards to follow in, or discuss with the doorman to register; and the takeout is placed in the reception hall, and the owner goes downstairs to get it himself."

  For the increasingly strict management system of the community, Wang Pengfei is a little helpless: sometimes because the delivery of food on this road is timed out, this order is equivalent to nothing. For customers, in hot or cold weather, ordering takeout is convenient. If it cannot be delivered directly to the door, satisfaction will decline. In addition, many people usually dress casually at home, and they have to change clothes specially for a takeaway, they will feel inconvenient.

  A pizza brand takeaway worker summed up a food delivery experience to reporters: in general old communities, takeaway delivery is more casual, and you can basically enter with a single word; for commercial housing communities, it is common for takeaway workers to register at the door; for some luxury houses, takeaway workers are generally denied entry. There are also well-managed properties that are confirmed by video phone and then released, and there is a better identity verification mechanism.

  Should the delivery staff be prohibited from entering and leaving the community? Different owners have different views on this. Some people believe that some outsiders pretend to be delivery staff and put up advertisements in the corridors, elevators and other places of the community, and some people knock on the wrong door, etc., to let strangers enter the community. There are also owners who believe that "no entry" makes life inconvenient, and the community should eliminate hidden dangers by strengthening security and identity verification.

  Takeaway clothing can be bought online for safety hazards

  In July last year, a food delivery platform in Chengdu clashed with community security guards, causing a group fight. According to a statement released by Ping An Wenjiang, the point of conflict between the food delivery platform and security guards lies in the management regulations for food delivery personnel entering and leaving the community.

  This reflects the current contradictions between the property and the delivery staff in many places. It is understood that the regulations such as "delivery is not allowed into the community" are not a whim. The news of "man pretending to be a delivery brother to steal" "borrowing delivery points to draw theft routes" "delivery staff burglary" is not uncommon.

  In an interview with reporters, security guards in several neighborhoods on East Jiaotong Road in Beijing believed that the overalls explained the purpose of the visit. The delivery staff are all wearing uniforms, and the clothes they wear on the cars they ride are marked, so they can tell what they are doing at a glance. If the delivery staff are asked to register, they may not cooperate in order to rush for time; if they are not allowed to enter the community, the owners may complain to the property company, so they usually ask the delivery staff who are not wearing delivery clothes to register.

  For many communities, the delivery staff’s uniforms function as "access cards", becoming "passes" for entering and leaving some communities, but those wearing delivery clothes are not necessarily the real delivery staff.

  In August last year, Beijing’s Fengtai district cracked a case of "fake food delivery real theft". According to the confession of the alleged offender, he used to be a delivery worker, but he quit his job because he was tired and had no means of livelihood. So he used a private stash of delivery work clothes as cover, and wandered around the residential area late at night, repeatedly smashing the contents of roadside vehicles.

  According to regulations, only formal food delivery personnel can obtain takeaway clothes, and they need to register on the platform and provide ID cards, health certificates and other documents. The takeaway platform will not issue takeaway clothes to part-time delivery people, and the departing staff must hand over the clothes.

  However, according to media reports, a number of takeaway platforms are selling takeaway clothes online. The reporter logged into a shopping website and entered "takeaway work clothes". The page that popped up had takeaway clothes from a number of takeaway platforms, with prices ranging from tens to hundreds of yuan. In response, a takeaway platform responded that in response to the chaos of takeaway rider clothes, they have communicated with online shopping platforms, hoping that relevant online shopping platforms can remove takeaway clothes from the shelves as soon as possible.

  Entering the community can achieve identity verification, but the effect remains to be tested

  How to prevent criminals wearing takeaway clothes from entering the community? This has become a pain point in many community management.

  Recently, a program called "Community Guard" came out, which aims to solve the dilemma of "last 100 meters" of takeaway delivery: when a takeaway enters the community, the security guard opens the Mini Program or scans its QR code, which can verify the identity and order status in one second, and track its location after entering the community in real time.

  According to the person in charge of the product, this Mini Program has functions such as identity verification, access management, and track tracking. It has been connected to some property communities in Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and other cities, and will be applied to shopping malls, hospitals, etc. In the future, it will also be applied to shopping malls, hospitals, etc. After using it, a delivery staff said, "In the past, it took at least 2 to 3 minutes to enter the community to sign, register, and show the certificate. Now it takes’seconds’ to scan with the Mini Program, which saves time and effort."

  For consumers, the opening of identity verification allows takeout to be delivered to their homes, saving waiting time. For security guards, they can monitor the dynamics of takeout personnel in real time, strengthen security management, and reduce security risks. But the actual effect remains to be considered.

  A takeaway worker who ran an order in the area of Jintai Road in Chaoyang District, Beijing, worried that many properties would not necessarily cooperate with such identity verification. "Many security guards ignore the takeaway staff, and you don’t open the door if you call him, so you ask him to take the initiative to scan the code to monitor you, which may not be realized."

  Then how can we prevent criminals posing as food delivery personnel? A takeaway platform staff member said: First of all, we must observe that the delivery staff’s vehicle must be equipped with a delivery box; secondly, we must learn to distinguish. Generally, the delivery staff will not wander between floors when delivering food, and will basically complete the delivery task by trotting. If you encounter suspicious personnel, you should call the police as soon as possible.

  And if the delivery staff committed illegal acts during the delivery process, the staff said that once the delivery staff was complained by consumers and the complaint was true, the delivery platform would blacklist them and share credit information with other delivery platforms.

Unmanned shelves are no longer in the limelight, is this the opportunity that "big guy" Ele.me finally got?

In just half a year, from the limelight in the capital markets to the frequent news of bankruptcy, withdrawal, and acquisition. The start-up company in the field of office unmanned shelves does not seem to have a good start in the spring of 2018.
The ability to circle a specific group of people in the office and their time is an important reason for companies that have made efforts in the field of unmanned shelves to bet on this track. But it turns out that the rhythm of point laying, offline BD, operation and maintenance of supply chain and logistics, any failure of any link, may frustrate this "not sexy" business in itself.
What is the attitude of large companies that have not moved much before? At least for now, a group of large companies that are ready to make efforts in the new retail field have not been deterred by the temporary chaos in the industry. Last September, it was reported that Ele.me had incubated the new retail division internally to focus on unmanned shelves.
At present, according to the news leaked by Ele.me, the project is finally named Ele.me Now, and a dedicated team is equipped for this independent brand: CEO Chen Qi was the first supply chain leader of Alibaba’s retail business department, which is also the famous Ali supply department. According to Chen Qi, Ele.me Now has achieved operating profitability in Shanghai, the first city it has settled in, after its launch.
This industry that was once on the cutting edge is rapidly moving towards consolidation. In those crazy days last year, Ele.me Now’s footsteps did not seem so aggressive. Is this area that needs to be refined and operated an opportunity for big companies?
 Prior to this, in addition to the main business of catering takeaway on the Ele.me platform, there have always been retail categories such as snacks, fruits, beverages, flowers, and medicine. In December 2016, the Ele.me new retail division was established. Chen Qi said that the current retail GMV accounts for about 5% to 10% of the total GMV.
According to a research report released by Coatue in 2017, the GMV of Ele.me reached 6.26 billion US dollars. If you use this data to estimate, the GMV of Ele.me’s retail business is about 3-600 million US dollars. Although the proportion is not high, as a business that only started in 2016, the demand and growth are real.
On this basis, compared with the hot start-up companies, Ele.me’s main logic for entering this battlefield is to hope that the office scene will complement and synergize the company’s main takeaway business. Of course, with the company’s original supply chain and logistics resources to support, it also means that Ele.me Now’s business is more confident.
Among them, the supply chain system behind Ele.me new retail BU is responsible for the B2B trading platform Youcai, which has been online since 2016. Youcai provides merchants with drinks, rice noodles, grain and oil, fresh fruits and other categories through the control of the upstream supply chain. At present, Youcai has established cooperation with 5,000 suppliers, including Coca-Cola, COFCO, Yihai Kerry and other brands. This part of the supplier accounts for about 1/3, and the remaining 2/3 of the brand Youcai is also a first-level wholesaler. Youcai also has joint warehousing and distribution systems in many major cities, which can provide distribution from urban Okura to small trunk lines.

Ele. Me Now Unmanned Shelf

At the beginning of sorting out whether to open an unmanned shelf business, Chen Qi and the management of Ele.me believed that Youcai had already entered large-scale operation, and the large warehouses that had been established in various cities in the process could provide support for the expansion of Ele.me shelves. Chen Qi said: "We are not building a system from scratch, but directly paying for it, and with a scale support, our rates will also have better savings."
On the other hand, Ele.me has established a complete hummingbird distribution system, which can also save the cost of unmanned shelves on a large scale. Previously, most start-up companies in the industry were solving distribution and exchange needs through self-construction + outsourcing and front warehouses. There are also companies like Gorilla Convenience and Convenience Bee, which use convenience stores as front warehouses. But it is not easy to establish and manage such a system from scratch. Unlike the traditional logistics where four links and one delivery and flash delivery are located, the logistics distribution of shelf goods shuttles through the middle of office buildings, which is equivalent to entering the end of the city. If the distribution density is not enough, the replenishment cost is very high.
The current common way to replenish goods is by renting Jinbei trucks to tour the city. Chen Qi and his team found that these Jinbei trucks stop every hour, and each time they stop, they need at least 20-35 minutes of waiting time. They can replenish goods at up to 1.5 points, and the value of a single replenishment is about 200-300 yuan. If you add warehouse leasing, vehicle leasing, and labor costs, Chen Qi calculates that the cost of replenishing goods at a single point is around 30 yuan.
Ele.me Now’s approach is to use the hummingbird stations where the riders rest and train as transit points. During times when takeout orders are not too intensive, replenishment vehicles will come to the hummingbird stations all over the city and summon 10-15 riders to skim the goods. The goods are marked with the delivery address and specific needs. Each rider can carry 1-2 points of goods. This is equivalent to turning the distribution system into a radial mesh, and the Jinbei car can support more than 20 points of post-need replenishment per stop.
"This is equivalent to turning the original human resources tandem model into the concurrency of multiple people in their spare time." Chen Qi said that overall, the single replenishment cost of Ele.me Now can be reduced to 16 yuan, as low as 45% of the industry competition, and the comprehensive gross profit is higher than 30%.
In this business that involves too many chains, Chen Qi believes that the biggest advantage of Ele.me is the scale effect that has been established long ago, which can also make this business "throttling". "Including Hummingbird and Youcai, because of the large scale, the management costs can be shared, and the cost structure is better."
According to the data given by Ele.me NOW, there are currently 150-2 million valuable points in the country that are worth laying unmanned shelves. Although the industry has experienced a period of rapid development some time ago, the top players are only concentrated in about 100,000 points. Therefore, in Chen Qi’s opinion, the market space is very large, and the industry is also in a very early stage.
In January 2018, Ele.me began to use the hummingbird system to support the operation of unmanned shelves in a small area in Shanghai. By March, the Shanghai area had all switched to the hummingbird-based replenishment mode. Chen Qi’s plan is to run in for a while and soon replicate this model to other cities across the country.
But the early plan is not to expand without restraint. Ele.me Now cares more about "coordination". At present, the service of food covers T30 cities, which is the 30 cities with the largest takeaway transaction volume of Ele.me, and Ele.me Now will also carry out urban expansion according to this scale and idea. "In the near future, we will not rashly expand cities outside T30. This is essentially a retail business, but we should deepen the density of the single area."
From a strategic perspective, Ele.me’s entry into the unmanned shelves is obviously a supplement to the current main business takeaway market. Although compared with start-up companies, the capital reserves of large companies are relatively loose, but retail is generally a relatively thin profit business. If you blindly expand and launch a subsidy war, if you do not cooperate with refined operations, you will fall into the quagmire of burning money.
"It’s not a blitz, it should be a protracted battle," Chen Qi said.
Ele.me Now CEO Chen Qi was the first head of Alibaba’s China Supply Department
Therefore, while "throttling" operating costs, finding an "open-source" way to achieve profitability as soon as possible is also an issue that operators must consider.
Chen Qi said that Ele.me has been able to achieve profitability in Shanghai single-city outlets. In addition to retail business and back-end gross profit, advertising and traffic can also generate revenue. Since Ele.me’s own brand effect is already very strong, many FMCG or shopping mall brands have already been its advertisers. Previously, Ele.me has reached cooperation with these customers through Ele.me APP exposure, or promotion through Youcai platform, as well as offline marketing, and unmanned shelves have become a new media buying channel. More importantly, Ele.me Now can combine user data that overlap office scene users and takeaway business to provide brands with granularity and finer user portraits to achieve the best delivery effect.
In addition to advertising, Ele.me Now also hopes to monetize offline traffic online. According to Ele.me Now statistics, stable customers currently place orders three times a week, and the transaction frequency and stickiness are very considerable. Chen Qi has started to try group buying business to direct offline customers to online. "For example, if you buy cherries for 20 yuan on the shelf, we will guide users to buy a whole box of cherries online at a unit price of 50 or 60% off. The unit price of customers is higher, which can also drive GMV."
In contrast to Meituan’s expansion strategy of constantly opening up new battlefields, Ele.me CEO Zhang Xuhao has always emphasized that Ele.me’s mission is to "focus and focus". So after ten years of establishment, Ele.me has extended from takeaway platform to retail and established new retail BU, which is the strategy of this strategy. Chen Qi said, "Our core business model is to help merchants on the platform do O2O online business, so whether it is unmanned shelves or the entire Ele.me new retail BU, we want to achieve this goal."

In March this year, it was reported that Ali would spend a lot of money to acquire Ele.me and integrate it with word-of-mouth to become an important chain in its new retail business. In 2017, a start-up company asserted that the "war" on unmanned shelves would be won and lost in 2018. In the current situation, the big man with more resources and good at "opening up sources and cutting costs" may enter the market late, but he may have longer vitality.

Li Yuchun denied leaving Tianyu to become the boss, wearing a skirt to play rock at concerts

        On March 10, Li Yuchun’s 26th birthday, Long Danni, the president of Tianyu Media, specially sent a massage chair to express her wishes. Li Yuchun, who was busy with work, had problems with his cervical spine, so he was naturally very happy to receive this generous gift, so he sat up and "enjoyed". Of course, the birthday cannot be without cakes, and the appearance of five green cakes with five letters of "WhyMe" written on them also made Li Yuchun overjoyed. After blowing the candles, the five cakes were immediately divided up by many enthusiastic fans at the scene.

Nanjing started singing, wearing skirts and playing rock, and Li Yuchun became a "director" for the first time.

        At the press conference, Li Yuchun, who was wearing a small gray suit, continued his handsome and capable style. However, in the exposed concert posters, Li Yuchun, who was barefoot in a white dress and black dress, was a bit sexy. Li Yuchun was very generous about trying the skirt style again, "I don’t think it’s necessary to cover up wearing a skirt now. This style was actually discovered inadvertently, but it suits me very well." In the previous concerts, the dance part accounted for a large proportion. This time, Li Yuchun said that he would have a rock style and would invite guests accordingly.

Development and Reform Commission: Beijing and other seven provinces and cities will not adjust the price of passenger taxis for the time being

     

    [Content overview]Since November 1st, the ex-factory price of domestic gasoline and diesel has increased by 500 yuan per ton respectively, which has a great impact on the transportation industry. According to the characteristics of different transportation industries and local actual conditions, local price authorities have actively studied and taken measures to timely channel the impact of refined oil price adjustment.


    China News Service, November 15th, according to the website of the National Development and Reform Commission, since November 1st, the ex-factory prices of domestic gasoline and diesel have increased by 500 yuan per ton, which has a great impact on the transportation industry. According to the characteristics of different transportation industries and local actual conditions, local price authorities have actively studied and taken measures to timely ease the impact of refined oil price adjustment.


    First, road passenger transportation prices


    Nine provinces and municipalities, including Hebei, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guizhou and Shaanxi, have taken measures to reduce prices. Among them, Guizhou has increased the fuel surcharge standard by 0.004 yuan per person-kilometer, Hunan has increased the fuel surcharge standard by 0.5 yuan per person-kilometer, Fujian has introduced a fuel surcharge of 0.01 yuan per person-kilometer, and Shaanxi has introduced a fuel surcharge of 1 yuan per person-kilometer. Hebei, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangxi have issued documents or according to the existing oil transportation linkage mechanism, allowing cities or transportation enterprises to appropriately adjust the road passenger transportation price within the floating range of the government’s benchmark price according to the actual situation.


    Ten provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, including Inner Mongolia, Jilin, Jiangsu, Shandong, Henan, Hainan, Chongqing, Yunnan, Gansu and Xinjiang, plan to adopt price-plus measures. Among them, Yunnan plans to implement a fuel surcharge plan on November 23. Shandong, Henan, Hainan, Chongqing and Gansu plan to study and approve the collection of fuel surcharges. Jilin and Inner Mongolia plan to issue documents requiring all cities and states to adjust freight rates or introduce fuel surcharge plans according to the actual situation in accordance with the established linkage plan. Some regions in Jiangsu and Xinjiang consider choosing an opportunity to increase freight rates.


    Six provinces and municipalities including Tianjin, Shanxi, Heilongjiang, Hubei, Sichuan and Qinghai have explicitly not adjusted freight rates this time. Among them, Heilongjiang, Hubei and Sichuan have introduced fuel additions to passenger fares last year, which have eased the pressure of rising oil prices to a certain extent, and will not increase fares this time. Tianjin, Shanxi and Qinghai also do not plan to adjust road passenger fares for the time being.


    Due to the intense competition in road passenger transportation in Liaoning and Guangdong provinces, enterprises are concerned that the increase in fares will affect the passenger source, so they do not recommend adjusting fares. At present, road passenger fares are relatively stable, and the price authorities are strengthening market freight monitoring. Whether to increase fuel surcharges is still being studied.


    The price of passenger transport in Tibet and Ningxia is regulated by the market, and it is understood that passenger transport companies plan to increase fares by 10-15%.


    The fares set by the provinces opposite Beijing’s highway passenger transportation will be implemented in accordance with the policies determined by the relevant provinces.


    Taxi fare


    Six provinces including Hebei, Anhui, Fujian, Henan, Guangdong and Guizhou have formulated measures to reduce the price of refined oil. Documents are being drafted or have been issued to allow cities to raise taxi prices, raise the starting price or charge fuel surcharges according to the linkage mechanism of oil transportation prices to ease the contradiction between refined oil prices. The Xiamen Price Bureau of Fujian has reported the plan to collect fuel surcharges to the municipal government, waiting for approval.


    Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Shandong, Hubei, Chongqing, Sichuan, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai and other 13 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government plan to introduce price-matching measures. Among them, Inner Mongolia, Heilongjiang, Shandong, Hubei, Yunnan, Gansu, Qinghai and other places plan to require all localities to adjust freight rates or charge fuel surcharges in the form of easing conflicting prices of taxi freight rates in accordance with existing policies and local conditions. The specific issue of taxi price adjustment is decided by the localities. Some cities in Zhejiang plan to adjust taxi freight rates or introduce fuel surcharges in the near future. Shanghai is formulating measures and studying and calculating the linkage plan in accordance with the established linkage plan. Sichuan and Shaanxi plan to uniformly charge taxis for fuel surcharges after adjusting natural gas prices at the end of the year or early next year. Shanxi province plans to start a linkage mechanism for taxi fuel prices in 2008. Chongqing is observing market reactions and studying freight rate reform plans.


    The prices of passenger taxis and Shanghai freight taxis in seven provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, including Beijing, Tianjin, Hunan, Guangxi, Hainan, Tibet and Ningxia, will not be adjusted this time. Among them, passenger taxis in Beijing, Tianjin, Hainan and Ningxia and Shanghai freight taxis will not be adjusted for the time being considering the market’s affordability. Hunan and Guangxi have introduced fuel surcharges for taxis in 2006. This time, the existing fuel surcharge plan will be implemented, and no additional fuel surcharges will be charged. Tibet has introduced a measure to reduce road maintenance fees by 30 yuan per month for taxis in the second two months of this year, without adjusting the freight rate.


    Liaoning, Jilin, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Xinjiang and other five provinces and autonomous regions reported that taxi drivers are currently calm, and the price authorities plan to strengthen monitoring and decide on further measures after observing the market.


    III. Urban public transportation and rural public transportation prices


    In strict accordance with relevant state regulations, all localities will distribute state subsidies for urban public transportation and rural public transportation to relevant business units to make up for the impact of rising refined oil products on cost increases and maintain the stability of urban public transportation and rural public transportation prices.


    IV. Local railway freight rates


    Hunan Province has adjusted local railway freight rates according to the national railway practice.


    Local railway enterprises in Hebei, Guangdong, Guangxi and other provinces and autonomous regions have reported that they have been greatly affected by the rise in oil prices, and require appropriate increases in local railway freight rates in accordance with the national railway practice.


    V. Road freight and water freight prices


    Road freight and water freight rates have been subject to market-adjusted prices, and the price level is mainly determined by market supply and demand. However, in the long run, if the price of refined oil rises sharply or remains high for a long time, it is difficult for operating companies to digest the cost increase factors, and they will still pass the burden downstream by increasing freight rates. At present, the freight rates of some road freight lines in Zhejiang have risen.


    VI. Financial subsidies


    Local price authorities have actively cooperated with relevant departments to implement financial subsidy measures. At present, central financial subsidies in Tianjin, Heilongjiang, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Yunnan, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, Xinjiang and other places have been in place. All localities have started to formulate subsidy distribution plans or have allocated subsidies to industry authorities. All departments have actively implemented subsidy distribution work.


    In addition to providing financial subsidies for urban public transportation and rural passenger transportation according to regulations, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Anhui, Fujian, Hubei, Ningxia, Qinghai and other places have also introduced subsidy measures for taxis. Among them, Beijing requires the government, enterprises and drivers to jointly bear the impact of the rise in oil prices in a ratio of 4:4:2, and the government and enterprises will jointly give drivers a monthly subsidy of 110 yuan. Before the implementation of the linkage mechanism in Shanghai, the government and enterprises will give temporary subsidies to taxi drivers respectively. Anhui Provincial Finance provided 11 million yuan to subsidize taxis. Ningxia gave a monthly government subsidy of 246 yuan per taxi. Fujian, Hubei and Qinghai asked cities and counties to give temporary subsidies to taxis. Tianjin’s finance department is calculating the amount of subsidies and will issue them before the end of the year.


    VII. Main problems existing


    At present, the main problems encountered by local price authorities in guiding freight contradictions are:


    For example, Guangzhou and other regions reflect that taxi prices are already relatively high, and it is easy to lose taxi passengers and increase drivers’ operational difficulties by adjusting taxi transportation prices or increasing fuel surcharges. For example, some regions plan to channel the impact of rising oil prices on road passenger transportation within the floating range of government-guided prices, but due to intense market competition, the actual fare level is difficult to increase, and operators bear all the impact of rising oil prices.


    The second is that the amount of subsidies for rural road and rural waterway passenger transportation is insufficient. Some places report that rural road and waterway passenger transportation service targets are basically farmers, and their affordability is weak. It is difficult to channel the cost increase caused by the increase in fuel prices through raising fares. The state also requires this part of the freight price to remain stable. However, the central government only subsidizes 50% of the cost increase. It is very difficult to raise and implement local financial matching subsidies, and operators are facing difficulties. The operators of inter-island waterway passenger transportation in Zhejiang Province have put forward price adjustment requirements to the government.


    Third, the increase in the price of refined oil has increased the difficulty of stabilizing the Spring Festival fares. During the 2007 Spring Festival travel period, measures were introduced that did not achieve good results in road passenger fares, which were widely welcomed by all walks of life. After the adjustment of refined oil prices, operator costs have generally increased, and it is difficult for Spring Festival fares in 2008 to remain at the 2007 level.


    In response to the above-mentioned problems, the price authorities at all levels should continue to take into account the actual local situation, under the unified leadership of the local party committee and government, work closely with relevant departments, and take comprehensive measures to reduce the burden on operators, resolve the impact of rising refined oil prices on the transportation industry, strictly control the increase in transportation prices, and maintain industry and social stability.
