Chengdu announces the sixth batch of municipal intangible cultural heritage projects.

On April 15th, the list of the sixth batch of representative municipal intangible cultural heritage projects in Chengdu was officially announced. This time, a total of 39 projects were selected as municipal intangible cultural heritage, among which there were many traditional folk activities loved by citizens, such as Chengdu Temple Fair of Wuhou Temple, You Xi Shen Fang, Dragon Boat Festival, Spring Festival in West Sichuan, and traditional skills such as cooked oil and sea pepper, which gathered the collective memory of old Chengdu people.

The sixth batch of Chengdu-level intangible cultural heritage announced this time is divided into seven categories, including traditional music, traditional dance and traditional skills. In 39 projects, Qiang flute performance and production skills, as well as Wuhou Temple Chengdu Temple Fair, Youxi Shenfang and other folk customs were selected. However, the most noteworthy thing in this list is that 17 items are all traditional techniques, including traditional production techniques such as Pujiang bean curd, Tianhui bean curd, Xindu Osmanthus Jelly, Chengdu Third Artillery and even Chengdu hot pot. In the future, these protected cooking techniques will ensure that they will always be "familiar recipes and familiar tastes". (Reporter   Wu Xiaoling)

Now "sky-high price" rescue! The hoisting team came uninvited and offered 200 thousand yuan, so don’t leave until you give it.

  CCTV News:Recently, on a section of expressway in Hengyang, Hunan Province, a large truck suddenly broke down, and the owner called the expressway rescue team. As a result, a hoisting team came, and the hoisting team opened its mouth and offered 200,000 rescue fees. If it was not paid, the vehicle would not be allowed to go. This block was blocked for 10 days. Finally, under the coordination of the management department, the truck owner paid 2000 yuan to the hoisting team before releasing it. A few days ago, three road officials of the Zhengxiang Road Administration Brigade, which was responsible for the supervision of the incident, were suspended and launched a special investigation.

  This dangerous car stopping action happened in Hengnan Service Area of Quannan Expressway in Hunan Province on November 24th. Things have to start from November 18th, when Master Liu, the owner of the truck, was transporting goods from Jiangsu to Guangxi, and the vehicle broke down near the Yumu Mountain service area. He immediately called the police number 12122. As a result, people from a hoisting company rushed to the scene along with the high-speed rescuers.

  Master Liu, the owner of the truck:He said that if you don’t hang it, you will hinder the traffic, and we will enforce it. The cost will be 200,000 yuan. He said, if you sign, I will report to the leader, which will be 80 thousand yuan. If you don’t agree, sign or enforce it, it will be 200,000 yuan.

  The "sky-high" rescue fee for the owner’s own maintenance is still not exempt.

  With the intervention of high-speed traffic police, the vehicle was repaired for three hours and the fault was eliminated. However, the cost of the crane can’t be less.

  Luo Fumin, on-site person in charge of Hunan Heshi Hoisting Service Company: Our cranes will definitely incur expenses when parked here. There are two cranes and one trailer. According to the machine-team, eight hours is a machine-team, which is two points and five machine-teams, and two cars are five machine-teams. I took a watch yesterday, which was 59,000 yuan. After a discount, there was 59,000 yuan left.

  The hoisting team will not be released until the rescue fee is paid.

  In the end, Master Liu, the owner of the truck, paid an on-site maintenance fee of 8,500 yuan. However, after repeated mediation by high-speed traffic police and road officials, the crane cost of 59,000 yuan can not be less. If you don’t give money, you will use multiple cars to contain the big trucks. Master Liu can only call the police for help.

  Mrs. Gu, the wife of the truck owner:It was called by the high-speed rescue. We only called the high-speed rescue phone and the alarm phone from beginning to end, and nothing else was called.

  Luo Fumin, site manager of Hunan Heshi Hoisting Service Company:We were called up by the rescue brigade, and we were with the cooperation unit of the rescue brigade.

  Wang Yi, head of the Second Squadron of Hengyang West Brigade of Hunan Provincial High Police Bureau:Hunan zhengxiang rescue team signed a contract with the high-speed management office.

  Yin Dexing, the main person in charge of Hunan Zhengxiang Road Administration Squadron:Contract, contract system, I simply talk about contract, everyone can understand.

  However, when the reporter came to the Zhengxiang Road Administration Squadron and the rescue station again, the person in charge insisted that it had nothing to do with the crane company. On November 29th, the notice issued by Xiangtan Management Office of Hunan Expressway Group Company did not mention the company either, but decided to suspend Yin Dexing, Xiao Yang and Deng Yong, the main leaders of the Zhengxiang Road Administration Brigade with supervisory responsibilities, and start a special investigation.

Jiangxi Shicheng opened the "last mile" to serve the masses and delivered legal services to the doorsteps of the people.

  Because of the forest right dispute, villagers Chen Mou and Wang in Xiaosong Town, Shicheng County, Jiangxi Province have been quarrelling for half a year, but they have failed to mediate in the town twice. After the video system of Komatsu Judicial Office was successfully installed, Chen and Wang agreed to accept "remote mediation".

  Experts from Shicheng Forestry Bureau sat in front of the remote video system of the command center of the county judicial bureau and "face to face" with the mediation site in the town. "The sound and picture are too clear. The experts in the county analyzed the problem very well, and there is nothing to argue about. Even if it goes to the county, it is finally solved." After listening to experts’ opinions, Chen Mou and Wang finally shook hands.

  This is a microcosm of the public legal services provided by the command center of Shicheng County Judicial Bureau.

  Since the beginning of this year, the command center of Shicheng County Bureau of Justice has closely focused on the three functional requirements of "materialization, actual combat and informatization", highlighted the purpose of serving the people, integrated legal service resources such as public legal service center, people’s mediation center and mass complaint reporting center, and built a multi-center and multi-functional command center, which enabled legal services to break through the restrictions of urban and rural areas and time and space, and truly delivered to the doorstep of the people.

  "With the counterpart support of the Ministry of Justice, the command center of our bureau was completed and put into operation in June this year." Huang Xiaorong, Party Secretary of Shicheng County Judicial Bureau, told the reporter of Legal Daily that the command center consists of video monitoring system and audio-video communication system. The video monitoring system brings together the monitoring resources of public legal service center, community correction center, contradiction mediation center, mass complaint reporting center and grassroots judicial office, and realizes the five-level communication of the Ministry, province, city, county and township; The audio-video communication system is interconnected with the centers and grassroots judicial offices. The county judicial bureau has opened online judicial administrative services such as real-time monitoring, video mediation, legal aid, legal consultation and complaint acceptance through the central network resources, so that people can consult and handle various legal matters without leaving home, effectively opening up the "last mile" of serving the masses.

  Public legal services are integrated into the command center

  Let the data run more and the people run less errands.

  "Mom and Dad, don’t worry, I will behave well in prison, seriously reform, strive for commutation and return to society as soon as possible, go home to honor your parents and repay the society." Recently, Wen Mojin, a prisoner from Shicheng who served his sentence in Yuzhang Prison, Jiangxi Province, faced his gaunt parents on the screen in front of the prison video interview system, and it was difficult for him to restrain his emotions and burst into tears.

  It turns out that Wen and his wife are nearly sixty years old, and they mainly rely on farm work and small jobs to make a living at home. Their son Wen Mojin has served many years in Yuzhang Prison for intentional injury. In recent years, the couple are eager to meet in a prison 400 kilometers away every six months. It takes several days to transfer by car and return. Over time, not only physical strength is hard to support, but also the expenses of going back and forth add to the burden of the poor families.

  After learning about the situation of Wen’s family during the "double promotion" visit, the staff of the local judicial office took the initiative to help him apply for a video meeting, so that Wen and his wife could see their son who missed him so much through remote video at their doorstep.

  "Shicheng County is located in the mountainous area of southern Jiangxi, and the allocation of urban and rural public legal service resources is uneven." Huang Xiaorong said that in order to solve this problem, in February 2016, with the counterpart support of the Ministry of Justice, Shicheng County installed a remote video system in 10 township legal service stations in the county, which was connected with the video system of Shicheng County Public Legal Service Center and took the lead in creating an "online visualization" legal service platform in the province.

  At the same time, Shicheng County has vigorously promoted the integration of online and offline public legal service platforms. On the basis of having public legal service centers in the county, public legal service stations in towns and villages, and public legal service rooms in villages, it has connected the 12348 hotline and 12348 "Jiangxi Law Network" to the command center, providing the masses with all-round public legal services such as lawyers, notaries, legal aid, resettlement and education, people’s mediation, judicial expertise and rule of law publicity.

  According to statistics, since 2018, the Shicheng County Legal Service Center and the Judicial Office have provided more than 3,560 legal services such as legal consultation, legal aid, notarization, judicial expertise, etc., and recovered economic losses of more than 8 million yuan for the masses, truly providing timely, accurate and inclusive public legal services for urban and rural people.

  People’s mediation is integrated into the command center

  Keep small things out of the village and big things out of the country

  On this day of August 17, 2018, the government of Pingshan Town, Shicheng County was in turmoil. More than 60 villagers surrounded the town government cadres, and the noise was endless. A middle-aged woman, Pima Dai Xiao, was crying with a portrait in her arms.

  It turned out that a month ago, the husband of a middle-aged woman, Lai Mou, dug piles for the owner Huang in Shuyuan Road Community of Pingshan Town at the request of the contractor Chen Mou. In the middle of digging the pile, Lai went to the river to rest and accidentally fell into the pond and drowned, which caused a dispute.

  Unable to reach an agreement on compensation, Lai’s family lost control and gathered dozens of people to the town government, threatening to hold ashes to the county seat to petition if the problem was not solved.

  Shicheng County Judicial Bureau immediately launched an emergency plan, and assigned lawyer Wen of the county legal aid center to conduct video mediation in the remote interview room of the county judicial bureau for Lai’s family, owner Huang and contractor Chen Mou who were far away from Pingshan Town Judicial Office.

  In the high-definition video, on the one hand, there are lawyers who are bitter and patiently explaining, and on the other hand, there are families of the deceased who are crying and silent parties. After more than three hours of facts and legal theory, the three parties to the dispute finally reached an agreement, and the family of the deceased received compensation of 390,000 yuan.

  After the remote mediation, Lai’s wife bowed deeply to Mr. Wen at the other end of the TV screen.

  In recent years, Shicheng County Bureau of Justice focused on people’s mediation, combined with the grid construction of social governance, and relied on the remote video system of the command center to establish a remote mediation mechanism for people’s mediation, organized a team of lawyers and legal service workers, connected with townships (towns) through the remote video meeting system, and participated in resolving contradictions and disputes and letters and visits at the grassroots level, so that contradictions can be resolved at the grassroots level, and the seamless connection between judicial administrative organs, legal service resources and the needs of comprehensive management of social security can be realized.

  In addition, the bureau’s command center constantly insists on scientific judgment, and through the people’s mediation information system and the comprehensive management grid system, it can get the information of the dispute location, the names of the parties, the types of disputes and so on at the first time, and grasp the initiative of early warning, investigation, mediation and resolution of contradictions and disputes. At the same time, it makes statistical analysis on the number, types and nature of contradictions and disputes at the stage, so as to realize the prevention and timely response to dynamic and budding contradictions and disputes.

  Contradictions are not handed over, resolved at the grassroots level and resolved locally. Since 2018, Shicheng County has actively carried out special activities for the investigation and mediation of contradictions and disputes, with a total of 2,616 cases of various disputes mediated and 2,500 cases successfully mediated, with a success rate of 95.6%.

  "two centers" into the command center

  Make supervision more transparent and the masses more satisfied.

  "I didn’t expect the Justice Bureau to pay so much attention to the demands of ordinary people and cured my heart disease for many years." Chen Mou, the litigant of the case, was relieved after the appeal was resolved.

  In May this year, when the staff of the Legal Service Center of Shicheng County Judicial Bureau conducted a case return visit and a "double promotion" opinion poll, they found that Chen Mou, the party involved in the case, was extremely dissatisfied with his attorney, and then he also had opinions on the County Judicial Bureau.

  Shicheng County Bureau of Justice immediately launched the "three-level return visit" mechanism and sent the person in charge of the business unit room to visit Chen Mou’s home.

  Chen Mou stated that during the period when he hired an attorney to represent his case two years ago, there were some irregularities, such as violating the lawyer’s professional ethics, seeking profits, provoking and expanding the contradictions between the parties, which made him feel deeply unfair in justice. In the past two years, troubled by this matter, Chen Mou has been unable to get over it, and strongly urged the county judicial bureau to take corresponding punishment measures against the lawyer.

  After a return visit by the second-level leaders in charge, it still failed to reach the expected treatment result of Chen Mou. Shicheng County Judicial Bureau immediately convened a coordination meeting involving lawyers and related personnel at that time, and finally completely eliminated the misunderstanding that existed between the two sides for many years on the desktop.

  Yin Yufang, director of the Judicial Bureau of Shicheng County, told the reporter that in order to strengthen service supervision, Shicheng County has set up a legal service return visit center and a complaint reporting center. The legal service return visit center collects the number of lawyer services, notarization services, judicial expertise, legal aid and grassroots legal services every month, and implements a unified return visit at the end of the month. At the same time, set up a complaint telephone in the command center, arrange special work force, implement 100% quality tracking of public legal services, and open the door to accept supervision by the masses.

  "The video surveillance systems of the county public legal service center, the county people’s mediation center and the grassroots judicial offices are interconnected with the video surveillance of the command center, and voice and video can be transmitted and stored in real time." Yin Yufang said that the command center monitors the arrival and daily work of the staff of the organs and grassroots judicial offices from time to time through video surveillance, and collects the surveillance video at the first time for the problems such as poor attitude of the staff and absence of the staff reflected by the complaints from the masses. After investigation and verification, it will be handled according to the law.

  The integration of the legal service return visit center and the complaint reporting center into the command center has effectively promoted the cadres to change their work style and greatly improved the public’s credibility and satisfaction with the judicial administrative system. From January to August this year, the total number of return visits reached 831, of which 752 were satisfied, 4 were basically satisfied, 75 were invalid, and the dissatisfaction was zero, and the satisfaction reached 99.47%. In the first half of this year, Shicheng County ranked first in Ganzhou City and eighth in the province.

  Reporter Huang Hui correspondent Lai Dezhong

Director of the Network Film Review Committee: I sometimes watch Douban movies to score.

  The Online Film and Television Review Committee of China Film Review Society was established in Beijing a few days ago, and published the Seven Conventions of Online Film Critics, which was called by the media as the first online film review group with the title of "national prefix", causing some people to worry about the objectivity of online film reviews in the future.

  The first director of this online film criticism group is Zhang Yiwu — — Professor, critic and cultural scholar of Chinese Department in Peking University. Zhang Yiwu also has his own choice about the subject of the interview. At first, he politely declined. When he saw the reporter, he asked, "What do you want to interview?" When he learned that it was a movie, Zhang Yiwu suddenly became interested: "The movie is good. Let’s talk about it. Let’s go!"

  So, we started with the most controversial Great Wall recently.

  On "Zhang Yimou is Dead"

  Whether it is a "curse" remains to be discussed.

  Beiqing Daily: Did you watch The Great Wall?

  Zhang Yiwu: Yes, and I wrote a film review. This is a large-scale production, international standard film. It can be said that it is an attempt to integrate China blockbusters with global production, which is of great significance.

  Beiqing Daily: However, there is still a lot of controversy about The Great Wall on the Internet.

  Zhang Yiwu: The imaginative way of the film is beyond history, and some details have no historical basis. For example, we talked directly with people in the Song Dynasty in English more than 1,000 years ago. If we ask for such details, we will definitely be criticized. Others say that this film has no theme. In fact, it has a horror metaphor facing the whole world, which is easy to remind people of the terrorism existing in the present world, nor can it simply be said that there is no theme.

  Movies have different opinions, and it is normal for the audience to have different voices. Some people spit on this film because it didn’t reach 2 billion. In fact, the box office environment in 2016 was also good, indicating that the audience still has some interest.

  Beiqing Daily: Weibo V publicly said that "Zhang Yimou is dead" for this film. What do you think of this comment?

  Zhang Yiwu: This sentence may have two meanings. On the one hand, it refers to life and life, which means disrespect for people; On the other hand, it refers to artistic creation, which is boring. These two meanings have caused different controversies. Of course, the word "dead" is really extreme. Whether this dramatic rhetoric has hit the bottom line and whether it is a curse to individuals remains to be discussed.

  On "Douban Film Rating"

  Douban is also a platform for providing services.

  Beiqing Daily: At about the same time, the article "People’s Daily criticized Douban score" was screened. What happened?

  Zhang Yiwu: I think there are some misunderstandings about this matter, and some people in the circle joked that this is the People’s Daily. At that time, the rumor was the official voice of the People’s Daily, criticizing the Douban score. But the fact is that this is not a report of People’s Daily, but other reports reprinted by the People’s Daily client, which is quite different from the criticism of People’s Daily.

  It reflects the mentality of some people: it is always said that the People’s Daily or other authoritative voices are criticizing the comments of online film reviews, as if someone wants online film reviews to be silent. In fact, the diversity of film reviews is the normal state of society, and often the film industry and producers are anxious about some film reviews, fearing that they will have an impact on the industry and the market. So now, this thing is actually a collision between the voice of the industry and the voice of the network.

  Beiqing Daily: Do you usually watch the movie rating of Douban?

  Zhang Yiwu: Sometimes, as a reference, watercress is quite good.

  Beiqing Daily: How was the Douban Film Review written?

  Zhang Yiwu: Some film reviews such as Douban are wonderful, with vivid analysis and deep understanding, which is very helpful for the audience to watch movies. Now some of them are getting shorter and shorter. In the past, there were many long film reviews of Douban, but now the long film reviews are often backward, which doesn’t attract much attention. Of course, short comments can also be very interesting.

  Beiqing Daily: What about the scoring system of "Douban" and "Cat’s Eye"?

  Zhang Yiwu: The film rating system has also played some roles over the years, which is a reference for the audience. However, it does not rule out the existence of some non-objective ratings. Douban and Cat’s Eye are also "businesses" and enterprises are also doing platform services. Some ratings are contrary to the market performance, with very low ratings, resulting in good box office performance, while those with high ratings are average. Therefore, the scoring system may not completely influence the film market.

  On the whole, douban mainly affects the audience and literary youth in metropolis. When this influence spreads to the general population, or the third-and fourth-tier people, its effect is limited.

  On "Network Film Review Committee"

  There is no uniform caliber

  Beiqing Daily: Why do you want to set up such an organization? Is it because of "Douban Film Review Event"?

  Zhang Yiwu: That’s not true. The online film review committee has been preparing for it for more than a year. In recent years, the influence of online film reviews is increasing, and it also has a great impact on the audience. The China Film Criticism Society has always paid attention to mass film criticism and amateur film criticism, and of course it is very concerned about this new part.

  The establishment now has nothing to do with "Douban Film Review Event", let alone the film review "national team".

  Beiqing Daily: What is the organizational form of the committee? How many people are there now? What do you mainly do?

  Zhang Yiwu: Actually, it is a professional committee under the China Film Critics Society, more like a peer society, which holds meetings to communicate and study some topics. There are more than ten directors, and besides the directors, many film critics will be contacted.

  The main job is communication and exchange. There is always a feeling of "hostility" between the film industry and the film critics. The industry is afraid that there will be no market for online film critics, so they also need some communication. There is also communication between different film critics and listening to different voices.

  Beiqing Daily: If there are too many exchanges, will it become a "unified caliber"?

  Zhang Yiwu: At present, online film reviews are very active and it is impossible to be homogeneous. In addition, the Committee was established to make different voices. Just like directors, each director’s works are different, and each film critic writes different film reviews. The directors’ association has always existed. Have Zhang Yimou and Jia Zhangke’s films become the same? (Laughter) Writers’ Association has always existed. Have the works of Liu Zhenyun and Mo Yan become a style?

  Of course, commentators will not write the same comments just because they join an association, and homogenization will not appear because of the emergence of the society.

  On "Internet Film Critics Convention"

  The basic bottom line of film critics’ self-discipline is not aimed at all netizens.

  Beiqing Daily: How were these seven conventions drafted?

  Zhang Yiwu: Actually, it is a consensus reached among members of the committee, and there is no complicated drafting process, such as "You should not comment before watching the movie, and you should not use cyber violence". These are the basic bottom lines.

  Beiqing Daily: Does it mean that publishing film reviews online in the future will be bound by these seven articles?

  Zhang Yiwu: Of course not. It’s not aimed at all netizens. It’s the Committee members’ self-discipline. As a film critic, these seven rules are the basic bottom line.

  Of course, you don’t have to ask for this for the general audience. Even if the audience didn’t watch it, it’s normal to want to vomit a few words. But for example, if you are an influential online film critic who can influence a group of people, then at least you should watch this film before expressing your opinions.

  Beiqing Daily: What kind of person is an "online film critic"?

  Zhang Yiwu: The online film critic is gradually formed in practice. He continues to write film reviews online, which attracts the attention of the audience. At present, this group is still very clear, mainly some relatively concentrated opinion leaders. They are netizens and are also very influential.

  Not every audience is an "online film critic". After watching the movie, just write a sentence like it or not, which is the feeling of the ordinary audience, not the film critic’s film review.

  Beiqing Daily: The convention repeatedly emphasizes "professionalism". How can it be regarded as "professionalism"?

  Zhang Yiwu: I have a certain understanding of the laws of movies, and I have an understanding of the narrative style, cultural background and artistic expression of movies, so I can make a more in-depth analysis. This is slightly different from the casual audience. We hope that film critics have some qualities and have a certain understanding of the art and operation of movies.

  On "Film Critics Circle"

  There is no absolute ideal state.

  Beiqing Daily: Does the Committee have any other specific work arrangements?

  Zhang Yiwu: In addition to communication, there are also studies and reflections on online film reviews, and the protection of film critics’ rights and copyrights will be carried out gradually.

  Beiqing Daily: Will film critics such as Douban and Cat’s Eye be included in the future?

  Zhang Yiwu: People from Douban attended the inaugural meeting. Participating in the committee does not mean that it will hinder comments, and there is no "unification" or "constraint". Both the platform and the film critics want their film reviews to be more objective, and the Committee is the platform for communication.

  Beiqing Daily: What is the film review environment in China now?

  Zhang Yiwu: Generally speaking, it is very active, and the new amount of online film reviews is even more energetic, and the audience also expects good film reviews very much. But many times, some film reviews with fierce words and eye-catching words are loud and everyone can hear them. If it is said objectively and the analysis is complicated, no one will read it. This is an easy situation on the Internet, and there is indeed a phenomenon that "bad money drives out good money".

  Beiqing Daily: What should be the ideal film criticism circle?

  Zhang Yiwu: There is no absolute ideal. Let’s talk about hope. There will be more different voices, so that the audience can get more objective information, and online film reviews will have a better reputation.

Overtime pay is difficult to implement. How to protect the rights and interests of universal couriers by penalty escrow?

  ● In the express delivery industry, "escrow by penalty" is widespread. In the face of malicious complaints, regardless of whether the courier is responsible or not, the courier company will generally ask the courier to pay a fine. Some lawyers believe that this is an unreasonable deduction of wages and violates the relevant provisions of the labor law.

  ● To protect the courier’s labor remuneration right, we should start from two aspects: one is to change the wage model and increase the basic salary income; Second, the courier company establishes a complaint investigation mechanism, clarifies the responsible person, and puts an end to punishing the courier for maintaining the company’s image, regardless of right or wrong.

  ● The express delivery industry involves many departments such as transportation, industry and commerce, urban management, human resources and social resources. In order to seize the market, many express delivery companies adopt the franchise mode, and each franchise store and outlet is responsible for its own profits and losses, without paying attention to the interests and development of employees. Therefore, the relevant departments should strictly supervise the express delivery companies to regulate and rationally employ workers, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of couriers.

  The "double 11" shopping festival has come to an end, but the express delivery industry is accepting the challenge. Because the "baby" placed by consumers has to be delivered by couriers in the near future.

  The State Post Bureau predicted that during the "double 11" shopping festival this year, the business volume of express mail handled by the whole industry will reach 2.8 billion pieces, and the peak period will last from November 11th to 18th, with an average daily handling capacity of 350 million pieces, more than twice the daily handling capacity.

  On November 8, the Party Committee of the State Post Bureau issued 11 key tips to the Party organizations at all levels of the postal management system and the headquarters of express delivery enterprises on strengthening the protection of the rights and interests of couriers and caring for them during the "double 11" period, requiring all units to strengthen the protection of the rights and interests of couriers and caring for them while ensuring the quality of express delivery services in the peak season.

  During the "double 11" period, how did the courier work? What is the implementation of their rights and interests protection? The "Legal Daily" reporter recently interviewed this.

  Distribution packages pile up into mountains

  Express brother is afraid of complaints

  "Don’t say smoke a cigarette, there is no time to say more." At a courier service station near Communication University of China, a courier told the reporter of Legal Daily while sending a text message. He is informing the recipient that he has left the parcel at the express service station.

  Recently, the "Legal Daily" reporter visited a number of express service stations, express outlets and rookie stations, and found that express parcels in these places piled up into hills. Although people keep coming to pick up the pieces, the number is still not decreasing.

  "These days, send thousands of eight hundred orders every day, sometimes even busy until the early morning, from 7 o’clock in the morning to late at night, and you can’t be idle for a moment. Although the boss will find several temporary workers whenever the express delivery volume increases, the express delivery volume is too large, so it is still very busy. " Wang Xing (pseudonym), a courier of a courier company, told the Legal Daily reporter, "It doesn’t matter if you are busy, because you earn a lot. Although there is no overtime pay, many people voluntarily work overtime. After all, wages are calculated according to the amount of orders sent and the amount of receipts. In other words, the more you send, the more you receive, and the more you earn. "

  However, although Wang Xing and his colleagues keep on calling, they will still get many calls from recipients, or ask or blame "Why did it show up in the morning and it hasn’t been delivered at night?"

  For these calls, Wang Xing usually explains patiently. What he is most afraid of is not calling him, but complaining directly to outlets, companies and even post offices. As long as the consumer’s complaint is deemed reasonable, the courier will be fined.

  According to Wang Xing, complaints are graded: if complaints are made to the outlet where the courier is located, the boss will generally give a verbal warning or call the courier to promptly negotiate with the recipient, and there will be no fine; If the complaint goes to the branch, the courier and the recipient are satisfied with the result of negotiation, and they will not be fined. If they are not satisfied, they will be fined tens of yuan. The specific amount is different for each courier company. If the complaint goes to the provincial company, no matter how it is handled in the end, the fine in 100 yuan is inevitable.

  "The income from sending a single order is 1 yuan. If you are complained to a provincial company, according to the amount of orders sent on weekdays, one day is basically in vain." Wang Xing said that this is not the most serious thing. If you are complained to the post office and the relevant evidence presented by the recipient is reasonable, then the fine for this order is 2,000 yuan. When it hits the off-season, it will be done in vain for half a month.

  Express collection leads to complaints

  Can’t afford to lose a piece.

  "There are many reasons for the courier to be complained. The most common one is that the courier privately puts the parcel at the rookie station or the collection point." Li Li (pseudonym), who has worked as a courier in several courier companies, told the reporter of Legal Daily.

  "Now many communities have collection points or express cabinets, and doormen in some units can also sign for express delivery, which really provides convenience for couriers. If the courier puts the courier at the collection point or the courier cabinet, it can not only save a lot of time, but also save a lot of effort, without knocking on the door to deliver. " Li Li said that this caused many complaints. Some recipients were unwilling to go to the collection point or the courier cabinet to pick up the courier, and the courier just sent a text message to inform them to put the courier in the courier cabinet or the collection point without asking the opinions of the recipients, which caused complaints.

  It is understood that if there is a complaint about notifying the recipient after putting the collection point or the courier counter, the courier will generally be punished because the courier did not ask the recipient’s opinion in advance. If the courier asks for advice by phone before placing it, and the other party refuses to admit it, he can be exempted from punishment by giving evidence.

  Li Li once met a difficult customer. The other party lives on the sixth floor, and there is no elevator. No matter how heavy the express parcel is, he asks Li Li to deliver the parcel to his door, and it can only be delivered at noon or at night when there is someone at home. In fact, this customer has a courier cabinet downstairs, and the supermarket at the entrance of the community can also collect it, but he never lets Li Li put the parcel in these places. On one occasion, the customer’s package details said 30 kilograms of gypsum powder, and Li Li called in advance to tell him that he needed help to carry it upstairs. As a result, Li Li was complained to the post office by the customer that night.

  Many couriers don’t want to go upstairs to deliver, and another reason is that they are afraid of losing their pieces.

  "For example, couriers usually take a lot of couriers out. Not every courier can be locked in the carriage, and it is not 100% safe to lock in the carriage. The lock is easy to be pried open. When sending a package, you need to leave the tricycle temporarily, and passers-by may steal the courier. " Li Li said that in addition, the courier left the parcel at the post station, the supermarket in front of the community or the doorman. If the parcel was lost, the courier would also be liable for compensation or be complained.

  According to Li Li, there is a sign-off rate requirement for the pieces delivered by couriers every day, generally about 80% in the morning and about 50% in the afternoon, which can be done under normal circumstances. However, if there are many dispatches, some couriers will falsely sign for it, and click to sign for it first, but the goods are not delivered, which is easy to be complained and will generally be established. 100 yuan was fined for falsely signing a bill.

  Overtime expenses are difficult to implement.

  Escrow by punishment is very common.

  "There are more other complaints, such as untimely delivery, not calling in advance before delivery, etc., for various reasons." Li Li said.

  A survey by the reporter of Legal Daily found that the express delivery industry still faces a problem — — Every shopping festival or important festival, couriers have to work overtime continuously, so the right to rest is not guaranteed and there is no overtime pay.

  "According to the relevant provisions of China’s labor law, workers have the right to rest and vacation, and couriers have established labor relations with courier companies, so couriers have the right to rest and vacation. However, the work of express delivery is a piece-rate system, and more work pays more. Even if the courier works overtime, his salary generally includes overtime pay. Therefore, in practice, the overtime pay of couriers is difficult to get support. " Han Yingwei, a senior partner of Beijing Yingke Law Firm, said that for workers whose wages are calculated by piece rate, the average work quota should be set, and if the employer needs to extend the working hours, it should pay overtime wages according to the overtime regulations.

  Han Yingwei said that during the "double 11" period, the number of parcels increased, and logistics enterprises should send more staff to recruit temporary workers to alleviate the work pressure caused by the shortage of existing logistics personnel. At the same time, it is necessary to increase the application of science and technology, so that the transportation and circulation of parcels can be more rapid and effective, and the labor cost paid by a single parcel can be reduced. Consumers should also understand and tolerate appropriate delays or delays during the logistics explosion.

  Dr. Li Jing, from the Law School of China Institute of Labor Relations, also believes that the wages of couriers usually belong to piece-rate wages. According to the relevant provisions of the Labor Law and the Labor Contract Law, piece-rate wages cannot exceed the standard working hours. If it is exceeded, it needs to be calculated according to overtime pay, and the overtime pay usually rises by 150%. If the courier doesn’t get overtime pay, it is unreasonable and illegal.

  "It needs a hard rule to guarantee the right of rest and vacation for couriers, otherwise it is not feasible to pass the labor law and the labor contract law only. It may be that the courier himself is willing to run a lot of orders to make money. Therefore, the entire express delivery industry needs to have a detailed supporting method that matches the piece-rate wage provisions in the Labor Law and the Labor Contract Law. " Li Jing said.

  In addition, today, the express delivery industry mostly adopts the method of "penalty escrow" for couriers.

  In Han Yingwei’s view, the phenomenon of "hosting by punishment" has different manifestations in various industries, and its common point is lazy politics. "Escrow by penalty" can only be used as an auxiliary means, not as a main management means. Fines can only be temporary. In the express delivery industry, "escrow by penalty" has been abused. In the face of malicious complaints, the express delivery company did not investigate the contents and facts of the complaints, which led to the fact that after the complaints appeared (whether the courier was responsible or not), the courier could only pay the fine.

  "This is obviously an unreasonable deduction of wages, which completely violates the relevant provisions of the labor law." Han Yingwei said, "Relevant authorities should vigorously rectify the express delivery industry ‘ Escrow by penalty ’ Chaos, the express delivery industry should also establish a complaint investigation mechanism. For the irresponsible courier, the courier company should do a good job of explaining to the customer; If the courier is responsible, it is understandable to punish according to the rules and regulations. "

  The government issued a document to protect rights and interests

  Take multiple measures and make concerted efforts

  Fortunately, the protection of the rights and interests of couriers is attracting the attention of relevant departments.

  On November 8, the State Post Bureau issued 11 key tips to strengthen the protection of postal workers’ rights and interests and care during the "double 11" period.

  Among them, "protect the labor rights and interests of couriers, guide enterprises to balance the delivery carrying capacity and the workload rate of couriers, ensure that the labor security of couriers is in place, the workload is not seriously overloaded, and ensure the life and health of couriers." "Guide enterprises to play the main role, strengthen the people-oriented management concept, and correct ‘ Escrow by penalty ’ ‘ Layers of fines ’ Simple and rude ways, optimize the benefit distribution mechanism, improve the reward and punishment mechanism, increase positive incentives, subsidies and condolences, etc., and effectively protect the labor income of couriers. " These two tips have aroused widespread concern in society.

  In Li Jing’s view, this shows that the relevant departments are concerned about the living conditions of the express delivery industry and the people in this industry, and realize that the express delivery industry is under high load and pressure. Moreover, it is completely and completely implemented from the system to the text, and then to the specific practice.

  Han Yingwei also believes that this advocacy and regulation in the form of government documents for a specific group of people in an industry precisely reflects the reality that this social group has not been properly protected. On the other hand, it is the tendency to accelerate and strengthen the protection of this group after realizing this problem. This is of positive significance to protect the rights of couriers and the rapid development of logistics industry.

  Han Yingwei said that there are many departments involved in the logistics and express delivery industries. Although express delivery is supervised by the national postal department, it involves many departments such as transportation, industry and commerce, urban management, human resources and social resources. In order to seize the market, many express delivery companies adopt the franchise method, and each franchise store and outlet is responsible for its own profits and losses. Enterprises have no intention to pay attention to long-term plans, let alone the interests and development of employees. Therefore, the above-mentioned departments, especially their competent departments, should strictly supervise the logistics and express delivery departments to standardize and rationally employ workers and protect the legitimate rights and interests of the majority of couriers.

  Han Yingwei also suggested that the protection of the courier’s right to labor remuneration should start from two aspects: one is to change the wage model and increase the basic salary income; Second, the courier company establishes a complaint investigation mechanism, clarifies the responsible person, and eliminates the phenomenon of punishing couriers for maintaining the company’s image regardless of right or wrong.

  Regarding the right to rest and vacation of couriers, Han Yingwei suggested that the legislature should further make detailed and specific provisions on the content of the right to rest and vacation in the labor law; At the same time, adopt various ways to publicize relevant laws and regulations, so that couriers can enhance their legal awareness and learn to protect their rights and interests; In addition, relevant law enforcement departments should strengthen law enforcement, and courier companies should also pay attention to humanistic care and give couriers more rest time. Adequate rest will definitely improve service quality.

  In addition, in order to better promote the professional development and social integration of personnel in the express delivery industry, Han Yingwei believes that social management of couriers should be promoted, self-discipline of enterprises should be strengthened, labor contracts should be signed, working hours in the express delivery industry should be standardized, employment pressure should be reduced, and work stability should be enhanced. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the vocational training of express delivery employees, improve their sense of professional honor, provide a pillar for the professional promotion of express delivery personnel, and incorporate the professional skills training of express delivery personnel into the assessment conditions for enterprises to declare various awards at all levels, so as to enhance their sense of social responsibility.

Gross margin is back in double digits, has NIO passed the most dangerous moment?

In the new energy and new forces, NIO is the company with the greatest ups and downs, or even one of them.

In this year’s Hong Kong stock market, NIO is one of the few new energy vehicle companies whose share price has fallen. Since the beginning of the year, NIO’s share price has fallen by more than 24%, the ideal share price has risen by more than 80%, Xiaopeng has risen by more than 61%, and BYD’s shares have risen by more than 12%.

Behind the weakness of NIO’s share price, a very important reason is that in the current era of increasingly fierce competition for new energy vehicles, NIO’s overly expensive approach has added more uncertainty to it.

With the release of the third quarter report, this situation has changed. In the third quarter, NIO delivered 55,400 vehicles, an increase of 135.7% month-on-month, a record high, and gross profit margin increased by 4.8 percentage points month-on-month to 11%, exceeding market expectations (10.2%). NIO, who breathed a sigh of relief, rose nearly 10% two days after the release of the financial report.

More noteworthy than the financial figures is that NIO has finally begun to learn to save money, such as opening the power exchange alliance, abolishing non-core business departments, etc. But the crisis has not completely passed, and as new energy vehicles roll into the high-end car market, NIO will also face a new test.

This paper holds the following views:

1.NIO’s third-quarter results exceeded expectations, but it remains under pressure for the long term.In the third quarter, NIO deliveries and gross profit margins achieved rapid growth. But this largely relied on the untying of power exchange services and car purchases. Those who were unwilling to use power exchange services paid less, which stimulated sales. In July and August, NIO’s monthly sales were around 20,000 vehicles. But by September and October, NIO’s monthly sales had fallen back to about 16,000 vehicles.

2.NIO began to learn to save money.NIO eliminated redundant business, driving the proportion of sales and administrative expenses down 13.6 percentage points month-on-month. At the same time, NIO is also making active strategic adjustments and measures, such as opening up power exchange services to enhance scale effect and reducing vehicle manufacturing costs independently.

3.NIO is taking a big test in the high-end car market.All parties in the industry are collectively sprinting to the high-end car market. At the beginning of next year, Ideal and Xiaopeng will have new models priced at 300,000 yuan. And before the second half of next year, NIO will not have new models on the market. In the case of already declining sales of existing models, NIO’s competitive pressure will increase unprecedented.

01 Gross margin back in double digits

Gross margin has always been the most concerned indicator of NIO’s financial reports. Affected by factors such as falling sales volume and industry price wars. NIO’s business gross margin has stayed in single digits for three consecutive quarters. In the third quarter, NIO reversed this trend, and the automotive gross margin increased by 4.8 percentage points month-on-month to 11%, exceeding market expectations (10.2%).

NIO’s gross margin returned to double digits after three quarters, not only due to the decline in supply chain costs, but also due to the return of NIO’s sales volume to high growth.

The price of battery-grade lithium carbonate fell from 307,500 yuan/ton in July to 171,000 yuan/ton on November 1. Considering that the cost of batteries in pure electric models accounts for about 40%, the decline in battery prices will naturally bring about a decrease in car costs. NIO also mentioned in the third quarterly report that the company’s battery unit cost decreased in the third quarter.

At the same time, NIO sales also returned to high growth in the third quarter. In the third quarter, NIO delivered 55,400 vehicles, an increase of 135.7% month-on-month, and the delivery volume reached a record high. The dilution of amortized costs caused by the significant increase in car sales made NIO bicycle costs 7,000 yuan lower than in the previous quarter.

Among them, in the car sales structure, the ES6 with relatively high pricing has boosted sales by changing the model. Its sales share has increased from 25% in the last quarter to 50% in the third quarter, so that the average price of bicycle sales has increased to 314,000, an increase of 8,600 yuan from the previous quarter. The cost of each car has decreased by 7,000 compared with the previous quarter, but the price has increased by 8,600, so that the gross profit of each car sold by NIO in the third quarter is 35,000 yuan, which is 16,000 higher than the previous quarter.

Although the increase in sales volume and the increase in the proportion of high-priced ES6 have driven the improvement of the company’s gross profit margin. But in the long run, it is difficult to maintain the high growth of NIO sales. The reason is that the increase in sales in the third quarter was affected by the untying of power replacement and car buying services, and the disguised price reduction promoted the release of sales. In July and August, NIO’s monthly sales were around 20,000, but in September and October, the monthly sales volume had dropped to about 16,000.

Although the high growth brought about by the unbundling of power exchange services is a short-term event, changes in business strategy are having a profound impact on NIO’s profitability.

02 NIO starts to learn to save money

At the NIO Science and Technology Innovation Day two months ago, Li Bin said this: "Yesterday, He Xiaopeng asked a media person to tell me not to invest so much money, thank you, but NIO will continue to invest in the long-term."

Li Bin’s words were also in line with the outside world’s perception of NIO. Compared with other new forces, NIO would "burn money" more. But in the end, the situation was stronger than people.

In the third quarter, NIO’s sales and administrative expenses fell by 13.6 percentage points quarter-on-quarter. The decrease in expense ratio is due to NIO’s elimination of redundant business. "NIO will carry out adjustments involving organizational and resource investment directions, including reducing the redundant personnel and institutional settings by about 10%," Li Bin said in an internal letter in November. At the same time, NIO will also make adjustments to projects that have not been profitable for three years or have not contributed to the improvement of gross profit. Dolphin Investment Research forecasts that after the layoffs, it is expected to save NIO 10-1.50 billion per year.

Not only shrinking the business, NIO also adjusted its strategy. At the end of November, NIO successively cooperated with two major automakers, Changan and Geely, on the power exchange business. For a long time, due to the huge investment and the harsh requirements of the break-even point, the power exchange service has been a drag bottle for NIO’s profits. In the third quarter, the gross loss rate of the service business including the power exchange business reached -24%. That is to say, the gross profit earned by selling cars 350 million, all posted to the losses of other business 390 million.

After cooperating with car companies, the partners can not only share the investment pressure, but also increase the number of power exchange services per day at the power exchange station, improving the scale effect. Next, Li Bin also said that the possibility of independent financing of the power exchange business cannot be ruled out.

After rationally allocating non-core businesses, NIO also has more resources in the main automotive industry. Recently, it was reported that NIO has obtained independent production qualifications. If the news is true, it means that NIO’s seven-year OEM route has come to an end and it has become the last car company in the new force to obtain independent car manufacturing qualifications.

Not surprisingly, after obtaining the production qualification, it will be beneficial to the efficiency of NIO’s business. According to Li Bin, after purchasing the Jianghuai production line, the cost of independent production will decrease by 10%, and the gross profit margin of automobiles will continue to increase, reaching 15% in the fourth quarter.

Although NIO itself has started to learn to save money and is getting better and better, it is also facing new industry challenges.

03 The industry collectively sprints towards high-end cars.NIO faces new pressure

In NIO’s plan, the goal is to be China’s BBA and dominate the domestic high-end pure electric market for a long time. From the current point of view, this goal is progressing smoothly. From January to May this year, NIO’s market share of high-end pure electric vehicles with an average transaction price of more than 300,000 yuan reached 55.8%.

Although the performance is good, it may be difficult for NIO to continue to increase its share. Due to the different operating habits and aesthetic styles of consumers, cars are highly differentiated products. Toyota, the world’s largest automaker, has a market share of only 11%.

From the current point of view, NIO’s share in the high-end pure electric market has declined. In October, NIO’s share in the high-end pure electric car market above 300,000 yuan was 45.6%, a significant decrease from the first five months of this year. Another signal of bottleneck in the penetration rate of NIO’s high-end cars is that NIO will launch two sub-brands, Alps and Firefly, focusing on the market below 300,000 yuan.

At the same time, the new energy automobile industry has also begun to sprint to the high end collectively. According to later reports, next year, Ideal, Huawei, JK and other brands will launch products on the market with prices of 300,000 yuan and above.

In January next year, Xiaopeng MPV new car – Xiaopeng X9 with a pre-sale price of 388,000 began to be delivered to users. In the third quarter of this year, Xiaopeng bicycles cost an average of 196,000 yuan. In late February next year, the ideal first pure electric car priced close to the ideal Mega of 600,000 will also be delivered to users.

Interestingly, the timing of competing for high-end cars is precisely the empty window period for NIO products. NIO will not have new cars on sale until the second half of next year, and can only rely on the current eight cars on the NT 2 platform to sell. And two of the so-called main models – ET 5 and the new ES 6 – have obvious sales weakness. The fourth quarter sales guidance given by NIO 4.7-4 9,000, and it also shows a month-on-month downward trend. Before the second half of next year, NIO will only rely on stock car sales to deal with new high-end cars from brands such as Ideal and Xiaopeng. This means that the competitive pressure of NIO will increase unprecedented.

Although the unit price of NIO customers is higher, due to the crude development of NIO in the past, the gross profit margin of NIO is only 11%, coupled with the service business that has not been able to achieve profit returns, the overall gross profit margin of NIO is only 8%, which lags behind the gross profit margin of most mainstream new energy vehicle companies. Once NIO’s high-end market position is shaken, NIO will gradually lose its room to move around in the industry.

This also means that the danger of NIO is still not over. In the ever-fierce competition of high-end cars in 2024, NIO will enter a new round of life and death test.
