SMS 20 yuan, Express 80 yuan … Have you spent all this money on getting a visa?

  Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai, August 14th. Title: A short message 20 yuan, a courier 80 yuan, printing a page for more than 10 yuan … … Have you spent all this money on getting a visa?

  Xinhua News Agency reporters Wang Moling, Yang Yang, He Xiyue and He Xinrong.

  In summer, many people choose to travel abroad to relax in the summer. However, the experience of handling visas in some visa centers has made them very angry. The prices of many services are four or five times higher than the market price; After the appointment, you still have to queue for four or five hours, but you can pay four or five hundred "queue-jumping fees". A family of three is required to pay three courier fees when sending materials for the same project … … Xinhua News Agency reporters learned that some visa centers in Beijing and Shanghai have deviated from the original intention of "simplifying visa procedures and improving service efficiency".

  Fees are arbitrary, expensive, and you have to suffer if you don’t spend money.

  "It feels like pits everywhere!" Last week, Miss Dong and her family encountered "willful" charges when they applied for a visa in Beijing.

  Temporary request for additional translation documents, charging high translation fees. "The staff of the visa center asked me to submit a translation of the real estate license and proposed to charge a translation fee for 110 yuan/Page." Miss Dong told the reporter that she thought the charge was too expensive and offered to translate it herself. The staff said that it is ok to translate by yourself, and it is necessary to re-number the business. Miss Dong thought about the queue time of several hours before, so she had to pay for it.

  Be unreasonably asked to pay 3 high mailing fees. "The distance of one stop subway, the visa center asks for the courier fee 80 yuan, even if the online errands service is used, the price is four or five times higher." Miss Dong said that what made her even more angry was that her family of three handled the same business and delivered the materials together using the same delivery address, but they were told that they had to pay three courier fees.

  Miss Dong also told reporters that it was originally a short message reminding service for visa centers to avoid customers who take their own documents, and the price was as high as 20 yuan. If you don’t hand it in, you may make a trip or even more trips in vain when you pick it up.

  Miss Dong’s experience is by no means a case. Ms. Shi, a resident of Beijing, found that she still had to wait in line for four or five hours after making an online reservation at the visa center in advance. At this time, some staff members repeatedly persuaded her to spend four or five hundred yuan on the spot to buy VIP services, which can avoid queuing. Ms. Shi found that the staff did not provide official invoices after collecting fees.

  A number of interviewees told reporters that they felt that these visa centers only had money in their hearts.

  "Coax", "bluff" and "hard": "three axes"

  The reporter saw on the optional service fee table provided by a visa center in Beijing: SMS notification to 20 yuan, express delivery to 80 yuan, printing 10 yuan/page, photo 40 yuan, VIP service to 390 yuan, super quick signing of 8421 yuan … … Many people told reporters that these "sky-high" services are called "optional", but they often "have to choose". The reporter found that there is a fixed routine for staff to fool customers into saving money.

  — — "coax" first. The reporter saw in the multi-site visa center that the staff would sell VIP services with paid queues to customers from the moment they entered the door. The price of a service is usually around 300-600 yuan. The reporter learned from some staff that most of the people who come to apply for visa business are customers with acceptable economic conditions, and they don’t feel much pain about the cost of tens of dollars and hundreds of dollars. So I repeatedly instilled the so-called concept of "spending money to buy convenience" to fool customers into paying more for services.

  — — "Tiger" again. "If you don’t follow what I said, the visa is likely to fail." This sentence has become a "mantra" to "control" customers’ money, which is very effective. Miss Dong told reporters that it was this sentence that frightened her when she considered submitting the materials directly without paying high translation fees. Almost all the respondents said that they had heard this sentence when they were unwilling to pay according to the instructions of the staff.

  — — Finally "hard". Some staff members tend to be tough on customers who don’t listen and can’t bluff. When Ms. Luo from Shanghai applied for a German visa for herself and her son at the visa center, she was asked by the staff to make an extra copy of the proof of financial resources. But before that, she had found out in official website that it was unnecessary. But at the insistence of the staff, Ms. Luo can only copy more than 20 pages of relevant materials. Some staff members will find some "troubles" for customers who don’t want to spend money, such as making them queue up again for business or waiting for a long time.

  The reporter learned from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism that in 2018, the number of China citizens traveling abroad has reached 149.72 million, a year-on-year increase of 14.7%. Lou Jiajun, a professor at the School of Tourism Management of East China Normal University, said that in the face of such a large population and huge market, it is increasingly important to regulate the arbitrary charges of visa centers.

  Experts say it is illegal for visa centers to charge fees arbitrarily.

  The reporter learned that many consumers have complained to the 12358 price supervision platform about the "willful" charges of the visa center, but they got a reply saying: "The price of services such as express delivery belongs to the market-adjusted price, and operators can set their own prices according to the production and operation costs and market supply and demand." Is this statement true?

  "The visa center is a service organization between the handler and the embassy or consulate, mainly engaged in business consultation, material collection and preliminary examination, and visa retrieval." Yang Jinsong, a scholar in china tourism academy, said that embassies and consulates in many countries will authorize a third-party agency to assist in visa processing, and this agency will also find a cooperative enterprise in China to set up visa centers in the corresponding cities.

  The reporter learned that at present, visa outsourcing services in embassies and consulates in China are mainly concentrated in VFS Global, TLS contact and BLS.

  Experts remind that the nature of market-oriented enterprises does not mean that visa centers have the right to "willfully" charge. Qiu Baochang, an expert from the Expert Committee of the China Consumers Association, believes that the visa center has an exclusive property because of its authorized relationship with embassies and consulates of specific countries, which actually forms a market dominance monopoly position. "It is illegal to use this monopoly position to implement high fees and arbitrary charges, which has violated the relevant provisions of Article 17 of the Anti-monopoly Law." Qiu Baochang suggested that market supervision departments and anti-monopoly law enforcement departments should promptly investigate and deal with relevant illegal acts.

  Chen Yinjiang, Deputy Secretary-General of China Consumer Rights Protection Law Research Association, believes that embassies and consulates, as clients, should also strengthen management, regularly assess the clients who are responsible for the actual operation of visa centers, and terminate their business entrustment relationship in time if there are acts that harm the rights and interests of visa applicants, such as unreasonable charges or unreasonable trading conditions.

  Yang Jinsong believes that the evaluation of the handlers should affect the assessment of the qualifications and performance of visa centers, thus forming the pressure to improve their services.

  In response to some netizens’ reports that some European countries have extra charges in visa centers in China. The Department of Consular Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicated that it is learning about the situation and exchanging opinions and opinions with the relevant country, embassies and consulates in China. "We hope that embassies and consulates in China, the country concerned, will effectively guarantee the normal visa application order and facilitate bilateral personnel exchanges."

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s 64th birthday new york Bridge is now a mysterious birthday poster.

  China Daily Online, October 8th According to foreign media reports, on October 7th, Russian President Vladimir Putin celebrated his 64th birthday. On the day before his birthday, a huge poster with Putin’s portrait mysteriously appeared on the Manhattan Bridge in new york.

  New York Post reported that a giant poster with an image of Russian President Vladimir Putin appeared on the Manhattan Bridge in new york, USA, on Thursday (6th), and the police in new york are investigating this.

  This poster is about 9 meters long and 6 meters wide. It shows that Putin is wearing a coat with the Russian flag behind him and the words "Peacemaker" written next to it.

  Witnesses said that at 1: 45 pm that day, at least two people played this politically motivated poster. 27-year-old Quinn Vermeer’s office building faces the Manhattan Bridge. "At that time, we were just working at our desks and saw it (poster) moving up through the window," he said. "These two guys … … They are all trying to hang posters a little bit, but they finally succeeded. "

  Vermeer added, "We realized that this is Putin, this is the Russian flag, and the poster reads ‘ Peacemaker ’ " . "What puzzles us is that it is not clear what the poster wants to express."

  "Everyone thought it was interesting, but no one really understood the political message behind it," said Heath Raymond, another witness.

  People quickly posted photos of this mysterious poster on social media. A Twitter user attached a text to the photo and said, "This is just hanging on the Manhattan Bridge. (We) live in some strange and terrible times. "

  A spokesman for the new york Police Department said that they received a 911 call at 2: 30 pm on Thursday, and the new york police took down the poster at 2: 55 pm.

  Russian parliamentarians suggested sending flower baskets.

  Sputnik said that valentina tereshkova, a member of the Russian State Duma, suggested giving President Putin a basket of 450 roses as a birthday present when he spoke at a plenary session.

  Tereshkova said: "October 7th is the birthday of our President Vladimir vladimirovich Putin. On behalf of all members of the State Duma, let me wish him a happy birthday and greater achievements. Let us send a flower basket to thank him for his tireless work."

  She suggested putting 450 roses in the basket, because this is exactly the number of members of the State Duma.

  Earlier, Dmitry peskov, Presidential Press Secretary, said in an interview with the media that Putin will celebrate his birthday with friends and family this year.

  Putin was given tigers and crocodiles.

  Among Putin’s previous gifts, there is a replica of the crown of Monomakh worn by Russian czars, which was made by Russian jewelers for Putin’s 50th birthday. Vladimir Voronin, then President of Moldova, presented Putin with a live crocodile. Putin received an Amur tiger cub on his birthday in 2008. This young tiger named Martha was only two and a half months old at that time. She once lived in the president’s official residence in the suburbs and later moved to the zoo in Glenjik.

  Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev sent a rare book about Tsar Village published in 1910 on Putin’s 60th birthday. Putin’s 61st birthday was spent in Bali, Indonesia, where the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit was being held. When Putin walked into the summit in the morning, Indonesian President Susilo sang Happy Birthday to You for Putin on the guitar, and other participants in the summit also sang in chorus.

Rulu: Counterattack and Challenge in Screen and Reality

In the glamorous but hidden world of entertainment circle, Rulu has gradually grown from a supporting role to a high-profile actress with her excellent acting skills and firm professional attitude. Recently, her role in the new drama has been overwhelmed by Tanya, which has aroused people’s deep thinking about her artistic career and life situation.

Early experience and growth

As early as when Rulu was growing up, acting was like her destiny takes a hand’s track. She was passionate about art since she was a child, and her whole family supported her to pursue the road of performing arts. She showed extraordinary performance potential in middle school, and then she was admitted to Beijing Film Academy. At this stage, she not only laid a solid performance foundation, but also made many friends in the circle. She worked hard, quickly accumulated experience in the young age, and gradually emerged in many film and television works.

Career: from supporting role to leading role

Rulu’s career can be said to be a history of struggle. She showed a good acting talent in her early performance of "The Seven Fairies with Joy". However, she did not stop because of this. Instead, she worked hard and participated in the performance of the role of Chinese Princess in Empresses in the Palace, which really made the audience remember her name. The role of Hua Fei is not only complicated, but also full of challenges. Rulu, with his deep understanding of the role and superb acting skills, successfully injected soul into this role. After that, Rulu got more and more starring opportunities and began to dominate some TV series, which was widely loved by the audience.

Artistic Achievement and Public Image

Despite the prosperous career, Rulu’s road is not smooth sailing. Recently, she became a topic again because of Tanya’s pressure on her new drama. Both the professional competition and the capital operation behind her made people think deeply about her situation. Some people think that Rulu’s performance level is not enough to compete with Tong Yao, while others point out that this is a cold evaluation of the actor’s value by capital. In any case, Rulu’s every gain and loss on the set conveys a fighting spirit, which is also the quality that she has always been praised.

External evaluation and social relations

In the circle, Rulu maintains good relations with many powerful actors, but there are also some competitors. This complicated social circle has helped her to move up in her career, and she is also facing more challenges. Actors who have worked with Rulu have praised her professional ability and considered her a trustworthy and reliable colleague. Because of this, Rulu’s reputation in the industry is constantly improving.

Strength and reflection in adversity

Although Rulu has made remarkable achievements in her career, the external pressure and the game of capital are still an unavoidable reality for her. When she was overwhelmed by Tanya in the new play, many fans felt aggrieved for her, but she chose to respond to all this with a positive attitude on social media. She once said: "I only want to work hard in my own field and not be influenced by the noise of the outside world." Her attitude makes people sigh: in the highly competitive entertainment circle, self-preservation is a rare quality.

Enlightenment to society

Rulu’s experience tells us that tenacity and professionalism are the magic weapons to meet the challenges in the workplace. Facing all kinds of external evaluations and capital games, only by maintaining inner firmness and love for art can we gain a foothold in the ever-changing circle. From a supporting role to an actress today, Rulu’s story has undoubtedly inspired many dream catchers: success requires not only talent, but also courage and confidence to meet challenges. In this competitive era, Rulu’s persistence and efforts are worth learning from all. Just like her own motto: "Every moment of hard work is worth celebrating".

Revealing the "Little Guard" of Automobile —— Important Mission and Replacement of Fuel Filter

When you are driving your car on the road, enjoying the speed and passion, have you ever thought that there is a quietly dedicated widget to escort your safe and stable operation? Yes, it is the fuel filter.

Although the fuel filter is inconspicuous in the complex mechanical world of the automobile, it plays a vital role, just like a loyal guardian, silently guarding the normal operation.

First, the main function of the fuel filter

The main function of fuel filter is to filter impurities in fuel, such as rust, dust and tiny particles. Clean fuel is the guarantee of efficient engine operation, and fuel filter is the key link to achieve this goal. For example, if the rust in the fuel enters the engine, it may wear the precision parts and affect the injection accuracy of the fuel; Dust and fine particles may be blocked, resulting in uneven fuel injection.

Second, the hazards of not replacing the fuel filter in time

1, affect the engine performance

With the increase of service time, the filtration effect of the filter decreases gradually, and impurities will enter the fuel system. This may lead to the blockage of the fuel nozzle, uneven fuel injection, weak acceleration of the vehicle and obviously worse power than before. For example, when overtaking, you will obviously feel the lack of power, which will affect driving safety.

Impurities may also be damaged, reduce its working efficiency, and even cause failure, resulting in the engine not starting normally. For example, in the cold winter, the fuel pump failure may make the vehicle unable to start, which brings great inconvenience to travel.

2, shorten the engine life.

Impurities entering the engine will aggravate the wear of internal components, such as pistons, cylinder walls and so on. In the long run, it will reduce the service life of the engine and increase the maintenance cost. For example, serious wear may lead to engine burning and further damage to the engine.

Third, the method of judging whether the fuel filter needs to be replaced

1, according to the mileage and time.

Automobile manufacturers usually recommend the replacement cycle of fuel filters in vehicle maintenance manuals, which is generally about 20 thousand kilometers to 40 thousand kilometers, and the replacement cycle may be shorter. When the vehicle approaches or exceeds this mileage, or when it is used for a long time but has less mileage, it should be replaced. For example, if your vehicle has been used for three years, but the mileage is only 15,000 kilometers, you may need to replace the fuel filter, because the performance of the filter will decrease after a long time.

2. Observe the change of vehicle performance.

Power drop: If it is found that the acceleration of the vehicle is weak and the power drops obviously, it may be that the fuel filter is blocked, resulting in poor fuel supply. For example, when climbing a hill, it feels harder than before, and the accelerator is slow to respond.

Increased fuel consumption: Because the filtering effect becomes worse, impurities enter the fuel nozzle and affect the fuel injection and combustion efficiency. Under the same driving conditions, the fuel consumption is significantly higher than before. For example, a box of oil used to run 500 kilometers, but now it can only run about 450 kilometers.

Engine jitter: Especially when driving at idle speed or low speed, the fuel pressure may be unstable due to the blocked fuel filter. For example, when waiting for the traffic lights, you can obviously feel the engine jitter.

3. Check the fuel system fault light.

Some vehicles are equipped with this light. When the fuel filter is seriously blocked or has other faults, the fault light may light up. If your vehicle fault light is on, check the fuel system, including the fuel filter, in time.

4. Disassembly inspection

For those who have certain knowledge and skills in automobile maintenance, the fuel filter can be removed for inspection. Observe whether the appearance is damaged or deformed, and gently shake it to listen to the sound of impurities. If the filter is abnormal in appearance or can obviously feel impurities inside, it needs to be replaced.

Iv. Precautions for replacing fuel filter

1, choose the right filter

Adapt to the car model: make sure that the fuel filter you buy matches your car model. Different models of fuel filters may be different in size, interface type and filtration accuracy, and the appropriate model can be determined by consulting the maintenance manual and consulting the automobile dealer or professional maintenance personnel. For example, the fuel filters of a medium-sized SUV and a medium-sized SUV may be quite different in size.

Reliable quality: select brand products with reliable quality to ensure the normal operation and long service life of the fuel system and avoid the damage caused by fake and shoddy products to vehicles. For example, well-known brands of fuel filters usually use high-quality filter materials, which can better filter impurities.

2. Prepare the right tools

Common tools: Replacing the fuel filter usually requires tools such as wrenches and screwdrivers. Before replacing, make sure you have the right tools and check whether they are in good condition.

Protective articles: Because replacing the fuel filter may involve fuel contact, it is recommended to prepare gloves and other protective articles to protect your own safety.

3. Preparation before replacement

Stop the vehicle and cool the engine: Before replacing the fuel filter, park the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the engine. Wait for a while to avoid being replaced.

Relieve the fuel pressure: Before removing the fuel filter, it is necessary to relieve the pressure in the fuel system. The release methods of different models may be different. Generally, the pressure can be released by unplugging the fuel pump or relay and starting the engine to turn it off naturally. Before doing this, be sure to consult the vehicle’s maintenance manual to ensure the correct operation method.

4, matters needing attention in the process of replacement

Caution: When removing and installing the fuel filter, be careful to avoid damaging the fuel pipeline and other components. Be careful not to let impurities enter the fuel system.

Correct installation: ensure that the fuel filter is installed correctly and the direction is correct. Generally speaking, there will be a sign on the filter indicating the direction of fuel flow. Install the filter correctly according to the sign to ensure its good sealing.

Moderate fastening: When installing the fuel filter, pay attention to moderate fastening. Too loose may lead to fuel leakage, and too tight may damage the filter or fuel line.

5. Inspection after replacement

Check the tightness: after the replacement, carefully check whether there is fuel leakage at the joint between the fuel filter and the fuel pipeline. You can start the engine and observe it for a period of time to ensure that there is no leakage.

Clear the fault code: If the fault light of the vehicle lights up before replacing the fuel filter, it may be necessary to use a diagnostic tool to clear the fault code after replacement. If the fault light is still on, check the fuel system for other problems in time.

In a word, it is necessary to operate carefully when replacing the fuel filter, select the appropriate filter, prepare tools, replace it correctly and make a good inspection to ensure the normal operation of the fuel system and the safe driving of the vehicle. If you are uncertain about the replacement process, it is best to seek the help of professional maintenance personnel.

Price war doesn’t work "Three Links and One Reach". What is the price increase of dispatching parts fee and express delivery?

  On October 20th, at the 2018 China (Hangzhou) International E-Commerce Expo, visitors were experiencing receiving express delivery through face recognition technology. Photo courtesy of vision china

  The price of express delivery has increased again, and it is the dispatch fee again.

  A few days ago, ZTO Express announced that it will adjust the express delivery fee from the whole country to Shanghai, and the adjustment range will be implemented by local service outlets in combination with their actual conditions. Immediately afterwards, express delivery companies such as Yuantong, Shentong and Yunda also announced that they would increase the express delivery fee for all outlets in China to Shanghai by 0.5 yuan/piece. At this point, the "three links and one reach" have basically raised the cost of express delivery this year.

  However, in the business model of franchised express delivery, such as "three links and one service", the headquarters of the express delivery company is only responsible for trunk transportation, and the work of collecting and dispatching parts before and after is generally the responsibility of the franchised outlets. The dispatch fee is the fee paid by the participating outlets to the dispatched outlets. Therefore, this dispatch fee may not directly lead to an increase in the courier fee on the consumer side.

  In fact, a similar practice appeared on the eve of double 11 last year. Is the express delivery industry about to enter a new cycle of raising delivery fees every October? What new problems does the express delivery industry face when the price rises in the peak season?

  "Three links and one arrival" will increase the dispatch fee, and some express cabinets will also start charging.

  Last October, also on the eve of double 11, courier companies such as "Three Links and One Reach" also made similar moves. In addition, in the peak season of express delivery in the previous two years, the franchised express delivery companies have paid the dispatch fee. For example, before "double 11" in 2015, several express delivery companies raised the delivery fee from 1.5 yuan to 2 yuan.

  However, similar to last year, the delivery fee raised by the courier company may not have a direct impact on consumers. China Youth Daily Zhongqing Online reporter visited some express outlets in Beijing, and found that the express fee of consumers has not changed generally.

  Chen Qiangfeng, the person in charge of a ZTO Express outlet in Chaoyang District, Beijing, said that the delivery fee of the outlet has been raised, and the possibility of raising the delivery fee is not ruled out. "But at present, we have not received the notice of price increase with users".

  Shao Zhonglin, former deputy secretary-general of China Express Association and founder of Yongyong think tank, said that most of the "three links and one reach" express delivery outlets, and the profits of the headquarters are brought by grassroots outlets. If the headquarters requires price increases, it needs to be conveyed layer by layer, so how the express price at the sales end changes depends on the choice of each outlet.

  In addition, as another delivery method, express cabinets in some areas have also begun to change from free pick-up to charging strategy. "It seems that starting from this month, after the express cabinet is overtime, it will cost 1 yuan more to re-take out the package." Wang Yongliang, a citizen of Quanzhou, Fujian Province, said that the express delivery cabinets in his own community have also started to charge, but in the past, even if it took more than 24 hours, they could pick up the pieces for free.

  Xu Yong, chief consultant of Express Logistics Consulting Network, believes that the increase in dispatch fees last year and this year is a manifestation of the gradual establishment of floating pricing mechanism in express delivery industry. In his view, express delivery is similar to air tickets, hotels and other service industries, and it is a floating pricing model of "discount in off-season and price adjustment in peak season". With the approach of double 11, the "three links and one arrival" express delivery company, which is mainly based on e-commerce express mail, will also usher in the peak demand for transportation capacity. And this time, after dispatching the parts fee, it can also play a role in regulating supply and demand.

  "If the courier company can really establish a floating pricing mechanism, it will be a good thing for this industry and play the role of a traffic light." Xu Yong said.

  Growth stalls and costs rise. How to retain grassroots outlets?

  However, apart from double 11 and other time factors, there are deeper reasons for the price adjustment of franchised express companies again. After the growth of sturm und drang in previous years, the growth rate of express delivery industry has gradually slowed down. According to the data of the State Post Bureau, in 2017, the national express delivery business volume was 40.1 billion pieces, a year-on-year increase of 28%; Business income reached 495 billion yuan, up 24.5% year-on-year. Compared with previous years, both business volume and income have slowed down a lot.

  At the same time as the slowdown in growth, the profit rate of the industry is also gradually declining. According to the industry research data of CICC, the gross profit margin of express delivery industry has dropped from about 30% in 2007 to about 5~10% at present.

  Why is there a decline in business income growth and profit margin? Maybe we can find the answer from the cost. The "Three Links and One Reach" financial report shows that in the first half of 2018, the operating costs of Zhongtong, Yuantong, Shentong and Yunda were 5.253 billion yuan, 10.485 billion yuan, 5.371 billion yuan and 4.177 billion yuan respectively, up by 40.8%, 46.33%, 20.50% and 40.85% respectively compared with last year.

  The cost has risen sharply because it has to meet the growing demand for express delivery. According to a research report of changjiang securities, the highest daily average handling capacity of express delivery industry reached 330 million pieces in 2017. In the peak season like double 11, in order to ensure the normal operation of the express delivery network, express delivery companies often need to recruit a large number of temporary personnel and lease more venues and vehicles.

  Shenwan Hongyuan Securities Research Report believes that from the peak season of previous years, the demand is released in a centralized way, requiring outlets and distribution centers to add cars and people, and all costs are significantly higher than those in the off-season. The performance of the express delivery industry is often not prosperous in the peak season. Price increase and volume control in peak season can improve the profitability of outlets and headquarters in the fourth quarter. By increasing the dispatch fee in the peak season, it can help outlets screen high-quality customers and control the peak season business volume in the most economical business volume range, thus truly improving the profitability of the peak season network.

  Since most of the express mails of the "three links and one service" express company come from the e-commerce platform, the delivery end is particularly important outside the trunk transportation. However, with the rising labor costs and the hard work of express delivery, it is often difficult for grassroots express outlets to survive.

  As the person in charge of the first-line express outlets, Chen Qiangfeng also said that recently, many grass-roots express outlets in Beijing are recruiting people in advance to cope with double 11, but the progress is not as smooth as in previous years, mainly because many couriers have switched to delivery or express delivery in the same city. Compared with express delivery, the latter has more income and some rest time. In his feelings, the days of grassroots express outlets in the past two years are far less than those of three or four years ago, and many outlets have been resold for various reasons.

  To this end, courier companies have also tried various ways to mobilize the enthusiasm of grassroots outlets and retain couriers. In May last year, five express delivery companies, Yuantong, Shentong, Zhongtong, Yunda and Baishi, announced that they would allocate a piece fee of 0.15 yuan/ticket from June 1, 2017. Previously, Tiantian Express also raised the delivery fee.

  In addition to the delivery fee, the courier company also adjusted the face-to-face reward system for couriers last year. Take Tiantian Express as an example. If the courier reaches the delivery assessment value, each 0.2 yuan will be rewarded if it exceeds the basic value; If the target value is reached, each 0.3 yuan will be awarded for the part exceeding the basic value.

  In addition, many express delivery companies are also trying to make up for the shortage of manpower by adopting new technologies such as intelligent express cabinets. However, the construction and maintenance costs of tens of thousands of yuan and the unclear profit model are also plaguing the development of express cabinets. Take HIVE BOX Science and Technology, an express cabinet enterprise, as an example. It has installed about 75,000 intelligent express cabinets in communities and office buildings, covering 80 cities in China. However, from January to May this year, its operating income was 288 million yuan, and its net profit was-249 million yuan, which still caused serious losses.

  The price war is no longer effective, and the express price increase should also upgrade the service.

  For a long time, the express delivery industry has been regarded as a vivid portrayal of "whoever raises the price first, who loses the market first", especially the franchised express delivery that mainly relies on the development of e-commerce components. Therefore, in the past, the "three links and one reach" express delivery companies fought a price war to compete for market share.

  According to the industry operation data released by the State Post Bureau, the unit price of express delivery industry was 11.91 yuan in August this year, but in 2015, this figure was 13.4 yuan, 14.65 yuan in 2014, 15.69 yuan in 2013 and 18.6 yuan in 2012, showing a downward trend year by year. However, after several major express delivery companies went public one after another and the express delivery market gradually stabilized, price war is no longer the best choice.

  Xu Yong said that in the past two years, many express delivery companies have raised the delivery fee several times, which has a lot to do with the price war in the past. For some time, e-commerce has obtained the pricing power of e-commerce express mail by virtue of the advantage of supply, and even very low-priced products also provide postal services, mainly because they can earn the difference in express delivery. Therefore, the franchise express delivery industry has developed to today, and its cost performance has almost reached the best level in the world.

  However, with the rising cost of grass-roots outlets, especially the increase of labor costs, it is becoming more and more difficult to rely on manual delivery outlets. Xu Yong said that in the past, grassroots outlets may cut costs by not paying social security, but after the listing of express delivery companies such as "three links and one service", such practices gradually decreased, so problems such as resale, difficulty in recruiting workers and high turnover rate at grassroots outlets gradually emerged.

  Shao Zhonglin also believes that the development of "three links and one reach" express delivery has benefited from e-commerce express delivery for many years, but the sales price and cost of express delivery do not match. The survival and development of many grassroots outlets are mostly maintained by reducing service quality or sacrificing employee welfare. "This development is unhealthy."

  Many users also understand the express price adjustment, but they also hope that the corresponding service level can keep up. Zhong Li, a citizen of Chongqing, said that even if the express delivery company raises the price for consumers by 50 cents, even 1 yuan can understand it, but if the price increase alone does not improve the service level, it is very unreasonable. In his view, problems such as barbaric handling, privately dismantled express delivery, and lost express mail still exist, which cannot be solved by raising prices.

  Xu Yong also pointed out that on the one hand, consumers should gradually adapt to the floating pricing mechanism of the express delivery industry, on the other hand, express delivery companies should also adjust prices within a certain range, and at the same time increase service supply to ensure the same service level as usual, not only to ease the pressure of quantity, but also to find ways to solve qualitative problems.

Popular science: It is said that AT gearbox has good reliability. Step on the accelerator with big feet at will. If you believe it, you will regret it.

For a long time, AT gearbox has been regarded as the shoulder of the gearbox industry, which is loved and touted by the majority of riders. It is fuel-efficient, resistant to operATion and can be trampled at will. As long as AT is mentioned, people will involuntarily think of these labels. However, from the actual maintenance ratio, AT is not as reliable and durable as the legend, and with the increase of service mileage and years, the failure rate of AT gearboxes is increasing day by day. The most important thing is that due to the high precision of AT gearboxes, the maintenance prices of 8AT and 9AT gearboxes are also expensive. So if someone tells you that the AT gearbox can be operated at will, you should give him a big face-scraper!

Why on earth? Please look down!

AT gearbox adopts planetary gear sets to change the transmission ratio, and the engine power is input to the input shaft through the hydraulic torque converter, and then the change is realized through the natural gear ratio of sun gear, and. Multiple clutches are designed in the gearbox to fix the planet carrier or ring gear of planetary gear sets to realize the output of different speed ratios. In addition, the combined speed ratio can be realized by fixing the planet carrier and ring gear of multiple planetary gear sets at the same time.

Usually, a set of planetary gears can achieve three different speed ratios, and six different speed ratios can be achieved through two sets of superposition. However, considering the actual speed output, not every speed ratio is usually effective.

AT gearbox and engine are usually buffered by hydraulic torque converter, and engine power is transmitted through. The hydraulic torque converter is actually a closed cavity filled with gearbox oil. The principle of power transmission is that the engine drives the pump wheel to rotate at a high speed, which drives the gearbox oil to flow at a high speed, and the gearbox oil drives the rotation, and finally drives the turbine to rotate synchronously. The output shaft of turbine is connected with the input shaft of AT to realize power transmission.

Because the transmission oil transmits power, the efficiency is relatively low. Therefore, in order to improve, it is considered that the hydraulic torque converter is internally designed with a lock-up clutch. After a stable start, when the speed reaches more than 10km/h, the lock-up clutch locks. Form. However, when starting, shifting and braking, the locking clutch inside the torque converter is separated, which can allow the speed difference to occur. Avoid engine stalling.

In order to protect the planetary gear set AT the back end of AT gearbox, the locking clutch of hydraulic torque converter is separated at the moment of gearbox upshift, and the multiple clutches in gearbox are quickly separated and combined at the moment of gearbox upshift, so as to realize different speed ratio output.

There are many parts of AT gearbox, usually reaching more than 400, especially for automatic gearboxes with multi-gears, such as 8AT, 9AT and 10AT. The size of parts is more compact and precise, especially for AT gearboxes with multi-gears, the shifting logic is very complicated and the valve body action is extremely complicated. There is a high requirement for the cleanliness of transmission oil. Therefore, AT gearbox needs to change gearbox oil regularly. Otherwise, the valve body may not open and close normally due to excessive impurities.

Many people think that AT is resistant to exercise, and can pedal with big feet and drive violently at will, which is quite wrong. The interior of AT gearbox is quite precise. When driving violently or even launching, although AT gearbox has a hydraulic torque converter for buffering, especially when shifting gears, the locking clutch can be released to form buffering, but the power transmitted by gearbox oil is also impactful. At the moment of shifting gears violently, the engine speed often rises rapidly, and the instantaneous impact force is relatively strong, which will certainly bring wear to multiple clutches used to lock planetary gear sets inside the gearbox. Therefore, the service life of the gearbox will be greatly reduced.

The key of automatic gearbox is to avoid shifting shock as much as possible.

  • 1. When starting, don’t hurry to refuel. After shifting into D gear, wait until the power is turned on and the gearbox is full of energy, so as to avoid high-speed impact. Don’t play until the ejection starts.
  • 2. Don’t drive violently with the big foot throttle when the car is cold, and the engine speed is too high, resulting in too much impact at the moment of shifting.
  • 3. Try not to use the manual mode unless necessary, especially for the instantaneous downshift of the high gear. Although the shift can be protected instantly, the speed ratio of the gearbox changes too much in the manual mode and the impact is relatively strong.
  • 4. Change the gearbox oil regularly, once every 60,000 yuan. It is recommended to change the gearbox oil by alternately combining the circulating machine and gravity, that is, after changing the oil in the circulating machine, replace the filter element at the same time at the next gravity oil change.

Just talk about the shortcomings of Tesla Model Y, and the truest feeling summed up in tears after one year of purchase.

Speaking of which, this brand was a fire in the past, and it was the best in the school. But now, domestic electric cars are becoming more and more luxurious, and the interior is getting more and more upscale. Tesla’s simple style really makes people feel a little guilty. Is it worth buying? Today, as an ordinary car owner, I will talk to you about the shortcomings that people love and hate. Of course, in the end, I will also talk about its advantages. After all, every product has its two sides.

Let’s talk about maneuverability first. Because the car body is high and heavy, it is replaced with a harder spring, and the chassis is also adjusted to be sporty. In this way, the handling and body support really have nothing to say, and it is called a cool driving. However, the suspension is as hard as a stone. When driving everyday, when the accelerator is lifted, the nodding and turning caused by kinetic energy recovery is simply unbearable. Especially when crossing the bumpy road, the comfort of the rear passengers is simply a big problem, just like riding a roller coaster.

Let’s talk about voice technology. Tesla’s speech recognition, how to say it, is a bit "straight". Its instructions are mechanical, not as humanized and intelligent as domestic brand electric vehicles. Although it has improved after the update in the last two years, it still lags behind domestic brands. There is also a map of the car. I have encountered several times when turning reminders are too slow. In the end, I can only use my mobile phone to navigate directly. You said this was too noisy.

Also, the foot feeling of Tesla Model Y’s switch pedal is also a point that makes people vomit. Compared with other models, you have to spend more effort to step on it. And the feeling of braking feet is very strange, a bit like stepping on a rubber. I think this may be because Tesla used the brakes, which is very different from the traditional mechanical assisted brakes.

Charging speed is also a point I want to vomit. Compared with the new power brands of domestic electric vehicles at the same price, Tesla’s charging speed is indeed a bit behind the rhythm. It’s a terrible headache to have to wait for a long time every time you charge.

Sound insulation and interior are also the two major slots of Tesla Model Y. The sound insulation effect is not good, especially when running at high speed. The noise is unbearable and my ears are about to explode. The simple interior is also an important reason to dissuade many people. The comfort of the seat is not good, the padding of the rear seat cushion is relatively hard, and the backrest angle is also straight, so although the space is large, it is uncomfortable to sit up, just like sitting on a bench.

Having said so many shortcomings, do you think Tesla Model Y is useless? Actually, it is not. It still has many obvious advantages. For example, the chip system is complete, the OTA frequency of car updates is fast, the safety factor is high, and the battery life is stable. Tesla’s three-electricity technology is also relatively strong, and many people buy Tesla. There are also fast after-sales service response, reliable automatic driving, high coverage of charging piles and so on. These are the highlights of Tesla and the reasons why it can stand on the market.

So, is it worth buying Tesla Model Y? There is no standard answer to this question. Because everyone’s needs and feelings are different. For me, although it has some shortcomings that make me headache, it also has some advantages that I can’t give up. So, if you are also considering buying Tesla Model Y, I suggest you take a test drive first, and it is not too late to feel its advantages and disadvantages before making a decision. After all, buying a car is not a trivial matter! You have to think it over carefully!
