Another mid-range car was "revived"! Ford Mondeo dropped 40,000, household cost performance is really high

In the face of mainstream fuel vehicles and strong competition, it is very difficult for a model developed by a second-tier brand to stand out in the market. After all, even Volkswagen, VW, and other brands are now facing great sales pressure in the market. However, it is in this situation that they have managed to break through the siege. Although the monthly sales volume is stable at around 5,000 vehicles, for a US brand, the results are already excellent.

I believe that consumers who start mid-level cars, most of them still hope that the power of this car is stronger. At present, the decline of individual 2.0T versions of Ford has come to 40,000. The cost performance of the whole vehicle has been significantly improved after the price reduction. It is necessary to know that the workmanship and materials of the American mid-level car are also trustworthy. The body skeleton and safety configuration of this car are in place. For the driver, it can still play a good protective role.

And you know, many fuel mid-range cars are currently used, Ford Mondeo gives a combination of 2.0T + 8AT, this engineThe maximum output power has been increased to 187kW, which is 393N · m. The power reserve of the vehicle can still give drivers strong confidence. Of course, recently, Mondeo has launched a sports version. Although the power is stronger, the current price is not friendly, so it is not recommended.

Mondeo also has an entry-level 1.5T engine for consumers to choose from. This engine has a maximum output power of 190 horsepower and a peak torque of 258Nm. The traditional system is also matched with an 8AT gearbox, which is also suitable for daily commuting and commuting.

As a new car, the body size of the new car is 4935 * 1875 * 1500mm, and the wheelbase is 2945mm. The spatial performance of this American car can also satisfy consumers. Even if the 1.8-meter-tall experiencer sits in the back row, there is still a good room for activities.


In terms of the interior of the whole car, the new car is also equipped with a floating dual screen composed of a full LCD instrument panel + central control screen + co-pilot entertainment screen. At present, consumers in the market still prefer the Dalian screen, which has a strong technological atmosphere. Its steering wheel adopts a flat-bottomed three-spoke multi-functional shape, and the shift mechanism adopts a knob design. The materials used in the car are also very textured. Whether it is touch or ride comfort, they are better handled than German and Japanese models of the same level.


In terms of configuration, such asLane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, road traffic sign recognition, collision warning, active braking, full-speed adaptive cruise, etc., are still available.

As for the design of this car, I believe many young consumers can still accept it. The front face of the new car is equipped with a large-size air intake grille, and the interior is designed with "scales". At the same time, the headlights on both sides of the new car are designed with a split design. The upper group is very sharp, and its lower surround is a through-type shape. The blackened air intake in the middle also enhances the refinement of this car very well, and the appearance is also very good.

From the development of the automobile market for many years, the American car still occupies a good market position, although the sales of the American car in the past two years are not good, but the models developed by the two brands of Ford and Ford are still trustworthy in terms of quality. At present, the decline of the 1.5GT version of the new car has reached 20,000, and the maximum decline of the 2.0T version has come to 40,000. For consumers who are interested in this car, you can find out, I believe its comprehensive product quality can still make you satisfied.

Overall, in the lap time test of the track, the SUV with a relatively larger body and a higher center of gravity did not have an advantage over the sedan. The Lynk & Co 08 EM-P, which ranked first in the SUV list, ranked sixth in the overall list. The top 5 cars were all cars, namely Zhiji L6, Model 3, ZEEKR 007, Xiaomi SU7 and NIO ET5. The test result of Zhiji L6, which ranked first in the overall list, was 2 minutes 15.06 seconds, 4.81 seconds ahead of Lynk & Co 08 EM-P. All show the good strength of Chinese brand models.

When the national idol meets the national daughter, in addition to dog food, there is also full of positive energy

At 12 noon on October 8, a Weibo post from Luhan went viral on the Internet, causing countless media workers to end their vacation early.

Just two minutes later, the female lead of the news, Guan Xiaotong, who was still a sophomore in Beiying, responded generously.

The witty Baidu has updated the content of the two’s encyclopedias with the trend that the thunderbolt can’t hide the bell.

After confirming this pair of CP, I don’t know how many female fans fainted in the toilet, woke up, washed their faces, and silently sent blessings to their beloved idols.

The concise "Luhan Confession Body" also became popular on the Internet, attracting everyone to follow suit:

Even Xiaohua Zhao Liying came to join in the fun:

That night, Guan Xiaotong took a photo of the two at the dinner table at Moments Po, setting off another wave of sweet crit.

Compared to other star couples’ secrecy, Luhan and Guan Xiaotong’s love affair is really crisp and neat. They are full of the boldness of the Beijing young master and the Sa of the Beijing big girl, which also shows the freedom and responsibility of our post-90s generation. Brother Dao wants to give them a big thumbs up!

Since returning to China, Luhan’s acting career has been smooth sailing. In the "Sweet Honey" MV, he really has a gentle voice and a prosperous beauty.

Luhan sings "Sweet Honey"

At the same time, Luhan stepped into the film and television industry, as the male lead in the electric shock, this fantasy comedy film achieved 360 million box office results on New Year’s Day in 2015, and Luhan was also nominated for the Best Newcomer Award at the 22nd Beijing University Student Film Festival.

Lu Han plays Yang Zishan’s grandson in "Back to 20"

Although it was his first time making a movie, Lu Han was highly praised by director Chen Zhengdao: "Lu Han’s performance in the movie is amazing! He doesn’t have stage fright when he shoots with his seniors, and he is very optimistic about his future development."

On October 30, 2015, the suspense crime movie that Luhan and Yang Mi collaborated on was released. Although Lin Chong, a street teenager played by him, is cynical on the outside, he is warm and kind on the inside. He never loses his chain at a critical moment, and finally brings the perverted murderer to justice.

Lu Han played opposite Yang Mi in "I Am a Witness"

In 2016, Luhan starred in three movies with a total box office 2.60 billion, a proper "box office elixir".

Luhan’s film achievements in 2016 attracted much attention

In April this year, Luhan’s first TV drama was broadcast, and in front of him, even the beautiful Gulinazar was overshadowed.


It has only been less than three years since he entered the film and television industry. Luhan’s achievements are really gratifying. However, his girlfriend’s resume is even more brilliant. Our "national idol" can only sigh~

When it comes to Guan Xiaotong, the first thing that comes to mind may be that she has starred in various daughter images in a series of hit dramas.

Guan Xiaotong’s TV dramas in recent years have excellent reputation and audience ratings

Guan Xiaotong, who has tall legs, long appearance and high appearance, is very popular with the audience, and has no stage fright when playing against the old actors. She is affectionately named "the daughter of the nation" by everyone.

Although Guan Xiaotong is seven years younger than Lu Han, her acting career is much longer than her boyfriend’s. Born in an artistic family, she started filming with her father as early as four and a half years old.

In 2003, 6-year-old Guan Xiaotong played the daughter of the heroine Nuan in the famous director Huo Jianqi’s film, which won the highest prize Kirin Award at the 16th Tokyo International Film Festival and the Best Feature Film Award at the 23rd Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award.

The fate between Guan Xiaotong and Huo Jianqi did not stop there. After a lapse of 14 years, Guan Xiaotong made a cameo appearance in Huo’s new work. The little girl who used to wear a double ponytail is now a slim big girl, which makes people sigh that time flies.

In 2004, Guan Xiaotong played the young girl Jiang Lingling in the film, and her every move was full of spiritual energy. The film was called the Chinese version.

Although Guan Xiaotong is just 20 years old this year, she has already collaborated with many big directors, such as in Chen Kaige’s play Cecilia Cheung’s childhood, where Xiao Qingcheng, who is starved, is cursed by Manshen for a steamed bun.

In 2010, Guan Xiaotong played Sun Honglei’s daughter in Feng Xiaogang.

Six years later, the "father and daughter" collaborated again on the TV series "Mr. Good", which sparked a wonderful collision. Guan Xiaotong, 19, even won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the White Magnolia Awards of the 23rd Shanghai TV Festival.

Guan Xiaotong’s size is almost catching up with Sun Honglei

In 2012, in Wu’ershan’s magical masterpiece, Guan Xiaotong played the teenage Princess Jing, revealing her strong and heroic side to the audience.

In this year’s star-studded show, Guan Xiaotong plays Zhou Enlai’s wife, Deng Yingchao, with a dignified appearance and a calm atmosphere. Although Guan Xiaotong is younger than many popular flowers, her performance hints at the potential of Tsing Yi.

Next, Guan Xiaotong will also try a "very dashing and boyish" role in Zhang Yimou’s new film, and its development prospects are unlimited.

In addition to acting, Guan Xiaotong, who has always been keen on public welfare, also participated in the shooting of "Glory and Dreams – Our Chinese Dream Series Public Welfare Film". Standing next to Yu Lan, another "post-90s" veteran artist, let us see the inheritance of Chinese film.

At the World No Tobacco Day event in May this year, Guan Xiaotong also joined forces with Jackson Yee and Wang Jiaer to speak out for the "Tobacco Free Next Generation", calling on the majority of young people to stay away from tobacco and develop a healthy lifestyle.

As Guan Xiaotong said in the interview, she has always taken her grandfather as an example, continued to grow all the way, and worked towards the direction of "virtue and art", to be a positive idol.

Guan Xiaotong firmly believes that idols should have positive energy

Like Guan Xiaotong, Luhan has also been silently doing charity over the years, donating love for patients with ALS. It seems that this CP pair is not only talented and beautiful, but also like-minded, setting a good example for fans. Brother Dao wishes them to be as happy and warm as they are now.

The 70-episode "Qingping Le" is over! Yang Ying Luhan’s new short play attracts attention


1905 movie network news "Now everyone is living a fast-paced life, and short dramas cater to the tastes of the audience," Xiaozhen, a staff member involved in the production of the online drama "Dragon Ridge Den", told us. It is true that the hit "I Am Yu Huanshui" and "Dragon Ridge Den" in April have become high-quality dramas that many audiences will never forget. These short dramas with a volume of less than 20 episodes have made producers and platforms see the feasibility of short drama development.


On the contrary, the costume drama starring Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Yiwei has been renamed again. The current title of the drama has been changed from "Jiangshan Old Man" to "Shangyang Fu", but what attracts more attention is the estimated 80-episode content. 


In addition, the recently concluded drama "Qingping Le" has also been criticized for being too lengthy due to its 70-episode long volume, and the impulse to follow the drama is weak. A video platform recently launched "Mist Theater", which will focus on the content of many suspense-themed dramas, enhancing the user’s viewing experience with a new theater operation model.


It is conceivable that there will be a large wave of short dramas in the market in the future. These works happen to echo the "Notice on Further Strengthening the Creation and Production Management of TV Drama Online Dramas" issued by the State Administration of Radio, Television and Television in February this year. "Television drama shooting and production should not exceed 40 episodes, and the creation of short dramas within 30 episodes should be encouraged."

"Shortening" has been a highlight of the year. So how can you accelerate smoothly on the right track while "shortening"? 


1. Suspense, drama, and movie feel are standard, and the future needs to be calm and early adopters

Many media have called 2020 the "New Year’s Era" of fine short dramas, but in fact, this phenomenon was laid in the foreshadowing as early as 2017. First, "River God" and "Chasing the Murderer in White Night" were used to rectify the name of online dramas, and then "Crime Without a Certificate" was born, which successfully amazed many audiences. It turned out that online dramas could also be comparable to movies.

Xiaojuan, who was in charge of the early planning of a video platform, told us, "The marketing of’Undocumented Crime ‘was not particularly outstanding at the beginning, but the quality was second to none. For example, in the past two years, I have seen countless plans for online dramas, and 7 out of 10 said they wanted to create’Undocumented Crime 2.0’." 


Although audiences did not wait for this kind of work, it was carefully discovered that "Undocumented Crime" had already laid down a "standard routine" for subsequent short drama productions – suspense, drama, cinematic sense. We counted the 10 short dramas with a volume of less than 20 episodes to be broadcast in the future, and found that most of these works were focused on suspense themes. Even "White Moonlight" directed by the female director Liu Ziwei and "Skyscraper" with a female theme included relevant elements.


The production companies behind these series are mostly involved in video platforms, which makes the genre more dependent on the big data behind "online content". Traditional production companies that have begun to test the water in the short drama market have also focused on this. Lime Moe Pictures, which produced "Little Joy", launched "Soul Messenger", "Swallow" and "Dear Floyd" in the short drama plan. The first two are suspenseful themes, while the last one, although romantic, still incorporates reasoning elements. 


"Most of these works are the dividends of’Undocumented Crime, ‘" Xiaojuan told us. After the broadcast, many copyrights of the original author Zijin Chen were sold one after another. The upcoming broadcasts of’Silent Truth’ and’Hidden Corner ‘are all adaptations of his works. " 


In the face of the current "suspense fever", she seems to see it well, "The vitality of online dramas is actually very short, the volume of 12 episodes, plus factors such as advanced on-demand, in fact, the overall promotion life is only 2 weeks. If you can’t catch the audience’s attention from the beginning, the drama can’t be’saved ‘in the later stage. Therefore, episodes with suspense elements can well whet the audience’s appetite." Screenwriter Xiao Shang has another view on this, "Because most of our studios are not involved in the early stage of project development. Most of them rely on the current popular content or’big data’ for creation, and subsequent writers slowly join. So in terms of genre, we don’t have much power to intervene. In fact, we are more looking forward to doing some multi-genre fusion works." 


"However, I Am Yu Huan Shui is a miracle and a good example. Before this show went LIVE, no one expected that such a realistic life drama would have such a big impact in the future. During this time, there have been production companies that have been approaching us to join forces on similar projects, and the leadership is also very willing to do so." 


In addition to the suspense theme becoming common, whether it is the broadcast of the series or the work to be broadcast, we have found that the drama bone has become a key factor in the series, and even many casting choices have taken the form of drama bone with traffic. Xiaojuan told us, "Qin Hao led a good lead in’Crime Without a Certificate ‘, and at that time, he really did not expect that actors of his rank would come out to act in online dramas. In the past, there were so-called’movie coffee’ and’TV drama coffee ‘for the audience, or in our industry, but since then, this barrier has been broken down to some extent. After that, many dramas have gradually become more bold in casting." 


The so-called barrier actually lies in the acting rhythm of the actors, and the two different mediums of movies and TV series will also have differences in the performance of the actors. And the emergence of fast-paced online dramas, to some extent, makes the acting state of the two blurred. So why are actors who were unwilling to participate in the shooting of TV dramas in the past willing to participate in online dramas now? "There are two reasons, on the one hand, a batch of high-quality online dramas appeared in 2017, so many actors began to re-examine this category; on the other hand, actors realized that good quality online dramas can better raise their reputation." Xiao Wen, who works in artist management, told us about his experience.


Xiaozhen also expressed her opinion to us, "Actors do not choose the category of the work, but pay attention to the good work. If the creator carefully polishes the script, the actors are also willing. So the" Ghost Blows the Light "series can directly sign a three-year and five-film contract with Pan Yueming, Zhang Yuqi and Jiang Chao."


It can be seen that in the process of creating high-quality short plays, we are looking forward to seeing more types of works appear, and we also hope that more actors can play their potential and bring good works to the audience.

2.Business model to be developed, advertising and placement will be re-customized 

Although it is difficult for these short dramas to compete with real-life topic dramas such as "Everything is Good" and "Xiao Huanxi", they are bound to have an impact on the long-running drama market. We also find that many short drama projects are making serialization and branding attempts, such as "Detective Chinatown" and "Ghost Blows the Lantern" series. Xiaojuan told us that this is also conducive to the brand implantation of the series in the business model. 


Because most of the short dramas are less than 20 episodes, with the current platform’s scheduling status, plus factors such as advanced on-demand, many episodes can be watched in two weeks. Therefore, brand implantation in such dramas is a dilemma for the brand and the drama’s business team. Xiao Jia, who is engaged in brand implantation, told us, "In fact, if there are too many brands for the implantation of short dramas, the audience will naturally not buy it. For the brand, too little exposure is not cost-effective." He told us that there are only five implantation brands for "I Am Yu Huanshui", which is already very small compared to other dramas. 


He predicts that in the future short drama market, the model of brand placement and advertising placement will be different. Because of the short broadcast cycle of such dramas, many brands are very limited in marketing, and the content cannot have enough time to ferment. "However, if this kind of drama can make a series, in fact, it will be much easier to have long-term cooperation with brands." It is understood that after the success of "Dragon Ridge", many brands took the initiative to find it, hoping to implant it in this series. 


It can be seen that a mature business cooperation model still requires time to accumulate. When short plays do not form their own brand effect and cannot attract high attention from advertisers, they can only follow the traditional approach to commercial cooperation.

Short drama creators should take the initiative to seize the opportunity, through their own accumulation, form distinctive characteristics and styles in the field of dramas, and expand their influence. Once an industry-recognized brand is formed, it will greatly help to enhance the commercial value of short dramas and innovate cooperation models. In short, "short" episodes have become a new trend in current domestic dramas, but it still takes a certain amount of time to polish short dramas for more mature development. We look forward to creators finding a business model suitable for online short drama production in our country, and at the same time expanding new Chinese stories, connecting with the audience’s aesthetics.

Many provinces have issued draft rules for online car-hailing, which should proceed from the public interest

  The current published online car-hailing management rules are exposure drafts, and some of the current regulations are not the final conclusion. They are seeking opinions and can only be said to be a plan.

  The supervision of online car-hailing cannot be limited to the online car-hailing itself, but requires comprehensive management and a more objective analysis. For local governments to introduce new policies on online car-hailing, all localities should truly consider the issue from the perspective of the public and balance the interests of all aspects.

  Recently, the four major cities of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen have successively issued the exposure draft of the detailed rules for the management of online car-hailing, which has been stipulated in many aspects. Subsequently, Hangzhou, Chongqing, Tianjin and other places have also introduced the exposure draft of the detailed rules for the management of online car-hailing.

  From the content of the relevant exposure drafts in various places, the management of online car-hailing has become stricter, and what will happen to the online car-hailing that has attracted much attention in the future?

  Local exposure draft concerns

  After learning about the exposure draft of the regulations for online car-hailing in Beijing and Shanghai, Cheng Yu shared a joke on WeChat Moments: When my daughter went out, her mother told her, "Daughter, in the future, you must clean up before you go out. Don’t go out without washing your hair, especially when you want to call an online car-hailing."

  "Why?"

  "Beijing hukou, have local license plates, and drive cars with a displacement of 2.0L or 1.8T. This condition is not easy to touch. Now the new policy of online car-hailing has been screened for you."

  As a white-collar worker in Beijing who has a long journey to work, Cheng Yu often uses online car-hailing, and recharging the online car-hailing platform is usually thousands of yuan at one time. Recently, she feels that the price of online car-hailing is more expensive than before.

  "If the new regulations are really so high, the price will go up, and it may be more difficult to get a ride online in the future. It’s not easy to get a ride now, especially during peak hours and when the weather is bad, it’s not easy to get a ride online, and sometimes you have to increase the price." Cheng Yu also worried about another situation. "If the threshold is so high, local license plates and local drivers will become scarce. Will they hire a foreign driver to drive? Is the service still guaranteed?"

  Compared with the hot discussion on the Internet about the network about the car management rules exposure draft, reporters contact the driver crowd but silent.

  "It will definitely affect all aspects, and I don’t know about some places," said a non-local driver who drives online in Beijing.

  Master Wang, a local driver in Beijing, did not appear too excited. Master Wang, a native of Beijing in his 50s, started working in the taxi industry in 1998. He did not care about Beijing’s detailed rules for the management of online car-hailing. He only described to reporters that it was not easy to open an online car-hailing car. "I started driving an online car-hailing car when Didi first got a reward of 15 yuan for an order. Later, the subsidy started to drop a little bit, and now it is gone. You are used to it, and we are used to it. Sometimes passengers who are in a hurry also add money. If it rains, passengers increase the fare, and we find passengers with higher fares to serve. Cruising taxi drivers have to work hard, and so do online car-hailing drivers. Like me, I get off work at 5 pm. Some drivers also work day and night shifts."

  Don’t worry too much about the future of online car-hailing

  It is understood that the four major cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen released the exposure draft of the detailed rules for the management of online car-hailing almost at the same time. Media reports show that Beijing and Shanghai released the exposure draft of the detailed rules for the management of online car-hailing, with a difference of about half an hour. A few hours later, Shenzhen and Guangzhou also released the exposure draft of the detailed rules for the management of online car-hailing. Among them, the exposure draft of online car-hailing management in Beijing and Shanghai has attracted the most attention. Both Beijing and Shanghai require that the driver of the online car-hailing business must be a local household registration, and the online car-hailing vehicle must be Shenzhen stipulates that both local household registration and holders of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone Residence Permit can apply for online car-hailing operations; Guangzhou is relatively relaxed, only requiring driver’s license, education level, and driving age.

  After the exposure draft of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen’s online car-hailing management rules came out, the original situation of online car-hailing, the future development prospects have become blurred.

  According to media reports, Didi Chuxing, the largest Internet taxi platform in China, responded that the new policy has raised the entry standard and is a disguised quantity control, which will lead to a significant reduction in online car-hailing and drivers, and a doubling of online car-hailing fares.

  Professor Zhang Zhuting, director of the political and legal teaching department of the Management Cadre College of the Ministry of Transport, told reporters that "what is being released now is an exposure draft, and it is normal for everyone to raise opinions. These suggestions will be submitted to the decision-making department. Some of the current regulations are not the final conclusion, they are soliciting opinions, and can only be said to be a plan."

  When talking about the impact on the future, Zhang Zhuting said that local regulations mainly have a certain impact on the local market, and it cannot be said that the regulations of one place can affect the whole country. Because the regulations of each city are different. For example, Beijing may have its own considerations, such as limiting the number of foreign vehicles, but it may be different in small and medium-sized cities, so it cannot be said that the regulations of one place have much impact on the overall market.

  Regarding the impact of the number of drivers, Zhang Zhuting believes that "I don’t think it can simply be said to affect the supply of drivers, because it depends on how often the online car-hailing is really used as a cruise taxi. The number that people often talk about is actually the number of vehicles registered online, which actually includes a large part of private cars, and this part should be separated. Now we need to consider the number of online car-hailing cars with high level of activity, and then compare the number after the implementation of the new policy, so that it can be comparable."

  Zhang Zhuting believes that people don’t have to worry too much about the future development of online car-hailing. The positioning of online car-hailing has actually been established in the Interim Measures for the Management of Online Booking Taxi Business Services.

  The online car-hailing policy is phased

  For a long time in the future, online car-hailing will also become the focus of people’s attention. As a new way of travel, online car-hailing has been closely related to people’s lives.

  "Online car-hailing is not only a change in transportation methods, but also carries other social functions, such as solving employment. This brings about a kind of’double-edged sword ‘effect. Due to the low employment threshold and the large number of employees, it brings population pressure to managers in big cities. The supervision of online car-hailing cannot be limited to the online car-hailing itself, but needs comprehensive management and more objective analysis." Wang Jingbo, dean of the Institute of Law and Government at China University of Political Science and Law, believes that the current measures on online car-hailing introduced in various places have a certain stage. As a mode of transportation, online car-hailing will definitely be upgraded or updated with the development of society.

  Xiong Wenzhao, a professor at the School of Law of Minzu University of China and director of the Research Center for Rule of Law Government and Local Systems, believes that the current exposure draft of the detailed rules for the management of online car-hailing has some local characteristics, and the online car-hailing market needs to pursue a new balance of interests. For example, to make the network of cruise taxis smoother, and to properly handle the problem of foreign cars and drivers. At present, it has an impact on the market. For users, they will feel that there are fewer people providing online car-hailing services, and the convenience of taxi-hailing has an impact. But overall, the potential for private cars in Beijing to join the online car-hailing market is still great. Relying solely on Beijing brand Beijing nationality may still promote the orderly development of the market. For the local government to introduce a new policy on online car-hailing, there should be a transition. All localities should truly consider the issue from the perspective of the public and consider the interests of all parties in a balanced manner.

Industry: More than 10 million non-operating vehicles turned into online car insurance premiums or will double

  Private car owners who occasionally take orders said that if the insurance premium rises across the board, they will withdraw from the online car-hailing platform

  ■ Our reporter, Leng Cuihua

  Recently, the legalization of online car-hailing has attracted great attention from the society, and this change will also have a significant impact on the auto insurance industry.

  "Most of the current online car-hailing vehicles are insured as private cars, and the insurance premium is low, but in the event of an accident during operation, it is easy to cause claims disputes. After the legalization of online car-hailing, this phenomenon will change." A vehicle to everything company official pointed out.

  According to the new policy, the network about the car must have the relevant insurance of the operating vehicle, the industry after calculation that this means that at least 10 million car insurance premiums will rise sharply, but claims disputes will be reduced, at the same time, some drivers who rarely take orders may withdraw from the network about the car platform.

  Industry experts also predict that with the development of online car-hailing, relevant data will continue to be enriched, and insurance companies can also develop new auto insurance varieties for this market segment to better achieve differentiated pricing of auto insurance.

  Vehicle nature changed to operation

  Double the insurance premium

  With the release of the Interim Measures for the Management of Online Booking Taxi Business Services on July 28, the long-controversial online car-hailing has finally officially ushered in legal status, and travel methods such as carpooling and ride-hailing have also been encouraged.

  "Now we finally don’t have to worry about the police fines. In the past, we didn’t dare to go to’high-risk ‘places such as train stations and airports. When we met passengers who wanted to go there, we had no choice but to cancel the order." Zhang Ming (a pseudonym), a driver who has been engaged in Didi taxi for almost two years, said that after the legalization of online car-hailing, he will feel more at ease when he starts this job.

  According to the above-mentioned "Interim Measures", online car-hailing business services refer to the business activities of building a service platform based on Internet technology, integrating supply and demand information, using qualified vehicles and drivers, and providing non-cruise rental car services.

  Regarding the business behavior of online booking vehicles, the above-mentioned "Interim Measures" stipulate that the online car-hailing platform company shall ensure that the vehicle providing the service has the legal operating qualifications, is in good technical condition, has reliable safety performance, and has the relevant insurance for the operating vehicle. It shall ensure that the vehicles providing the service online are consistent with the vehicles actually providing the service offline, and report the relevant information of the vehicle to the administrative department of the taxi where the service is located.

  "This means that if private car owners want to continue to engage in online car-hailing operations, they must purchase operating vehicle insurance." An industry insider told the Securities Daily reporter that this is necessary to protect the rights and interests of consumers. If there is a problem with online car-hailing, the interests of passengers can be better protected, and there will be no phenomenon of insurance companies refusing to pay, but it also means that the insurance premiums of most cars currently registered on online car-hailing platforms will rise sharply.

  The person in charge of automobile insurance operation of a property insurance company told reporters that under normal circumstances, the insurance premium of the operating car is 1.5-2 times that of the non-operating car.

  According to the "2015-2016 Mobile Travel Employment Promotion Report" released by Didi Chuxing, as of April this year, the number of drivers on the Didi platform for express cars, ride-hailing and chauffeured vehicles exceeded 13.30 million. At the same time, according to media reports, Ryan Graves, head of Uber’s global operation department, said that at present, the total number of its global drivers has reached 1 million, and the development scale in China is very large. There are 46,000 Uber drivers in Chengdu alone. The person in charge of Yidao Yongche revealed in May this year that the number of drivers and car sources of the car-hailing platform has exceeded one million. In addition, our country also has multiple online car-hailing platforms such as Shenzhou Special Car and Shouqi Car-hailing.

  According to industry insiders, excluding those vehicles that have purchased insurance according to the operating vehicle, after the "Interim Measures for the Management of Online Booking Taxi Business Services" was officially implemented, it is conservatively estimated that more than 10 million car insurance premiums will rise sharply.

  Regarding the impact of rising insurance premiums, the Securities Daily reporter conducted a random interview. The owner, Mr. Chen, said that he is now running a full-time online car-hailing rental. After the legalization of online car-hailing, the vehicle must be insured according to the operating vehicle. Although the cost has risen, it should still be acceptable, which also eliminates the worry of illegal business. The owner, Mr. Dou, said that although he has registered a driver on the Didi platform for one year, he has not really launched a rental business. Even if he takes orders, he only takes orders occasionally. If the insurance premium will also rise sharply, he will definitely cancel the registration and withdraw from the platform.

  In fact, the reporter found in the interview that most of the people who are currently full-time express drivers said they can accept the adjustment of insurance premiums, while part-time drivers said it is difficult to accept that car insurance is completely in accordance with the insurance premiums of operating vehicles.

  Car insurance for online car-hailing

  Expected to be born

  In fact, in order to protect the interests of passengers, before the official legalization of online car-hailing, there were already online car-hailing platforms that purchased traffic accident insurance, seat insurance and other insurance for ride-hailing users. Industry experts believe that after the official legalization of online car-hailing, insurance companies can also develop new products according to market changes. And with the popularity of online car-hailing and the accumulation of relevant data, personalized products specifically for online car-hailing are expected to appear in the car insurance market in the future.

  Relevant research reports point out that there are auto insurance companies in the United States that have partnered with Uber to launch "time-division + billing" insurance services. Private cars that join Uber are divided into several different time periods during the driving process, including the "personal use period" when the APP is closed, the "first time period" when the APP is opened but the passenger is not matched, the "second time period" when the passenger is matched, and the "third time period" when the passenger gets on the bus until the time of getting off. The insurance premium for the first two time periods is borne by the owner, while the commercial insurance for the second and third time periods is purchased by the Uber platform. The insurance for the part of the insurance premium paid by the owner can also be different according to the age of the car and the number of accidents.

  In October last year, Didi Chuxing and Ping An Property and Casualty Insurance jointly launched "Didi Platform Sidi Accident Comprehensive Insurance", covering drivers and passengers of the platform’s special cars, express trains, hitchhikers, buses, test drives and enterprise-level businesses. The maximum single insurance amount can reach 1.20 million yuan, and the insurance is uniformly insured by the Didi platform. The relevant person in charge of Didi Chuxing also revealed that the platform is exploring cooperation with the government and insurance companies to develop new insurance products suitable for mobile travel services. While providing high-quality services, it effectively protects the safety of people’s lives and property.

  There is already a market demand for new insurance products. The person in charge of auto insurance of a property insurance company told the Securities Daily that although some car owners are registered as express drivers on the Didi Chuxing platform, they are not full-time operators and only commute to get off work or take orders on the way. In this case, it is not cost-effective for car owners to increase insurance premiums significantly, which is also one of the reasons why car owners who join the platform are unwilling to change the use of vehicles. According to the aforementioned "Interim Measures", online car-hailing must change the nature of the vehicle. In this case, can insurance companies develop new products? He thinks it is possible, for the occasional car owners who take orders, the frequency of their cars has not increased significantly, the risk of using the vehicle itself is not much different from that of ordinary private cars, but the risk of people in the car is greater than that of ordinary private cars. For such vehicles, insurance companies may develop market-segmented products, even if they are all operating vehicles, their insurance premiums will also reflect differences according to different circumstances.

  "Online car-hailing has its particularities, and insurance companies can set prices differently, but this requires the support of relevant technology and data. In the future, there will be a lot of room for cooperation between insurance companies and online car-hailing platforms," the head of an Internet car insurance platform told Securities Daily.

Didi, sorry again!

China Fund News, Chenxi

Didi Chuxing apologizes again

The underlying system software malfunctions

On November 29, Didi Chuxing issued another apology statement.

Didi Chuxing said that the system failure that occurred on the night of November 27 caused a lot of trouble and inconvenience to the majority of users. "We let you down when you needed us, and we sincerely apologize again."

In addition, Didi Chuxing also gave the reason for the system failure incident: After an internal review investigation, it was initially determined that the cause of the accident was a failure of the underlying system software, not an "attack" spread on the Internet. In the future, Didi will carry out in-depth investigation and upgrade of technical risk hazards, comprehensively ensure service stability, and do its best to avoid similar accidents from happening again.

At present, all services of Didi App have been fully restored. Didi Chuxing said that the troubles and problems caused by the accident are being properly resolved at an accelerated pace, and thanks everyone for their encouragement, care and tolerance to Didi. "Today’s Didi still has many shortcomings. We will take this as a warning, deeply reflect on it across the company, make every effort to correct it, and continue to work hard to ensure service."

After the failure late at night on November 27, Didi issued an apology statement in the early morning of the same day: Due to a system failure, the Didi App service was abnormal, which was urgently repaired by technical students and is currently being restored one after another. Sorry again for the inconvenience caused to users and drivers.

On the morning of November 28, Didi Chuxing issued an apology announcement again, saying that after the technical team repaired overnight, Didi’s online car-hailing and other services have been restored, and users can download the Didi App to use the taxi service. Cycling and other services are still being repaired one after another. All green and orange vehicles that can be unlocked or unlocked can ride for free, hoping to do a little more to relieve the pressure of the morning peak.

System failure "collapse on hot search"

Didi refutes rumors in time

Late at night on November 27, the collapse of the Didi APP led to a large number of user feedback and complaints, which attracted market attention. Multiple entries such as #Didi broke down #and #Didi employees said that the intranet also broke down when the system crashed were listed on Weibo’s trending topic list.

Judging from the feedback from netizens, the failure performance is various: there are APP network abnormalities, unable to log in, and some unable to check out and arrive. The driver also has problems such as "unable to start the journey" and "unable to click to receive passengers".

In the midst of the panic, some rumors also began to emerge. For example, some netizens posted that the background income balance of the contracted driver showed 69387199691.71 yuan. In response, Didi Chuxing responded that after verification, it was confirmed that the picture was a rumor forged by PS, and I implore everyone not to spread rumors or rumors.

In response to reports that some drivers began to withdraw cash, drivers said they were afraid of a problem with the system and their account would be cancelled. Didi Chuxing said that after checking the driver’s account and withdrawal function, everything was normal, and the majority of drivers did not need to worry.

Didi Chuxing said that the Didi platform is to withdraw cash every Tuesday, and drivers with high service levels can withdraw cash every day. According to the chat of multiple driver groups, many Didi drivers said that they have successfully withdrawn cash. I implore you not to spread rumors or spread rumors.

Didi said in the announcement that drivers are requested to pay attention to the fact that starting from Monday night, due to system reasons, the issuance of relevant rewards that have been received or purchased will be delayed. The platform will calculate normally, make up the money one after another, and the word-of-mouth value travel points will also be calculated normally, and the display will resume one after another. Individual drivers and masters have reported that they cannot start the journey and billing after receiving passengers. Please pick up and drop off passengers normally and deliver them to the destination safely. The platform will calculate and reissue the fare according to the itinerary in the future.

In terms of passenger rights and interests, Didi said that the coupons in the user account can be used normally. If the coupons in the passenger account are not valid due to the failure and the user pays the original price, the system will automatically deduct the coupons and refund the same way after the failure is restored (the same amount of coupons).

"Please don’t worry about the abnormal payment of fees and multiple deductions caused by the system failure. Please be patient. We will settle the compensation uniformly after the accident is dealt with," Didi said.

According to Didi’s latest financial report, its R & D expenses in the third quarter were RMB 2.10 billion, accounting for 4.1% of total revenue, compared with RMB 2.50 billion in the third quarter of 2022, accounting for 6.2% of total revenue. Didi said that the decrease in R & D expenses as a percentage of revenue was mainly related to the decrease in the company’s smart car business product development expenses.
