Shanghai Jiaotong University bans takeaway riders from entering the school? School-run enterprises pay to undertake transfers?

  The entry "Shanghai Jiaotong University prohibits takeout into the school" was listed on Weibo’s trending topic list on August 14.

  On the same day, the surging news reporter learned from the students of Shanghai Jiaotong University that around August 13, a notice written to each takeaway platform and delivery staff, stamped with the official seal of the security department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, was circulated within the school.

On August 13, the "Notice" sparked heated discussions among teachers and students of Shanghai Jiaotong University. Picture source: Interviewee

  According to the notice, in order to further standardize the order of campus takeaway delivery and reduce the safety hazards caused by takeaway riders’ on-campus delivery, Shanghai Jiao Tong University Zhenxing Education Service Industry Co., Ltd. has established a campus takeaway delivery team to transfer all takeaway orders from teachers and students at off-campus takeaway transfer stations. At present, the campus takeaway delivery team has been completed, and three takeaway transfer stations have been set up around the Minhang campus. The notice is signed on August 3, and the signatory is Shanghai Jiaotong University Zhenxing Education Service Industry Co., Ltd.

  The notice shows that from now on (August 3), the takeaway delivery staff who have registered with the Security Department of the original takeaway platform can enter the school from No. 600 Dongchuan Road ("Arc de Triomphe") to complete the delivery. The takeaway delivery staff who have not been reported by the platform are prohibited from entering the school for delivery. Just send the takeaway order of Jiaotong University to the nearest transfer station.From September 1st, all delivery staff will be prohibited from entering the school, and the campus delivery team will undertake all campus delivery orders

  In addition to the announcement, some students said that they had heard from the communication with the delivery rider that the rider would need to deliver the delivery to the transit point, pay about 2.5 yuan, and then be transferred by the on-campus team.

  "We are worried that the riders will not be willing to send the food to the college students because they earn less. We are also worried that if there is a problem with the food, the riders from both sides will pass the buck to each other. We don’t know who to complain to," one student told reporters.

  At 6 p.m. on August 14, a student from Shanghai Jiaotong University reported to reporters that the school had updated the relevant arrangements for takeaway management at the Minhang campus. The arrangement shows that,Maintain the original model, and each takeaway platform will arrange the delivery route by itself according to the order.After the delivery personnel recognized by each platform have registered their identities at the security office, they can enter and exit through the four school gates of the school during the opening hours of the school gate; the school will further strengthen the management of takeaway vehicles by increasing in-school patrols and prompts, and cooperating with the takeaway platform. Strictly punish unsafe behaviors such as speeding and retrograde to ensure the safety of teachers and students and the safety of the campus. That night,The PaperThe reporter learned that security personnel at the Minhang campus have been notified by their superiors to maintain the original mode, and many takeaway riders have also been informed by school security personnel that they can enter and exit the campus normally.

At around 6 pm on August 14, the Security Office of Shanghai Jiaotong University updated the management arrangements for takeout into the school. Picture source: Respondents

  Security Office: There are problems such as uneven personnel quality and difficult supervision in takeaway delivery, and we want to manage it uniformly.

  The notice banning takeout delivery staff from entering the school caused a small-scale discussion within Shanghai Jiaotong University on August 13. On August 14, someone posted two responses from the school’s security department on the Zhihu platform. Some students at Shanghai Jiaotong University told reporters that the response could be checked on the official forum of the school, and the source was "Security Department".

  The school security office said that after seeing the questions raised by everyone, it immediately contacted the school teaching service group (Shanghai Jiaotong University Education Service Industry Investment Management (Group) Co., Ltd., which belongs to Zhenxing Education Service Industry Co., Ltd.) to feedback the students’ opinions and communicate to confirm relevant matters.

  Its response said that the purpose of implementing the campus delivery team is to reduce the traffic accidents caused by the campus delivery electric vehicles under the premise of ensuring that the delivery quality assurance of teachers and students on campus is delivered to the buildings and teachers and students on campus, and to file and review the identity of riders entering the school in advance to ensure campus safety to a greater extent. "Before the delivery, there have always been problems such as uneven personnel quality, high mobility, mostly self-employed, and difficult supervision. If the delivery staff is self-employed, it is difficult to safeguard the rights and interests of teachers and students after a traffic accident. Therefore, the Security Department wants to urge the delivery platform to establish a campus delivery team, and the campus delivery team is uniformly managed by the delivery company."

  Regarding the questioning of the compliance of Shanghai Jiaotong University Zhenxing Education Service Industry Co., Ltd. in charge of campus takeaway delivery services, it responded that in the early stage, the takeaway platform service providers were openly selected, and the campus delivery team was established according to the requirements through the selected platform. The takeaway platforms that participated in the selection and passed the selection were Ele.me, Meituan, Domino’s, and Jingle Zhiyao. In the later stage of the campus delivery team construction, the Ele.me and Meituan delivery platforms chose to connect with the school teaching service group and reach a cooperation agreement according to the actual operation situation. Shanghai Jiaotong University Zhenxing Education Service Industry Co., Ltd. affiliated to the teaching service group was responsible for the campus takeaway delivery service and established a campus takeaway delivery team.

  Tianyancha shows that Shanghai Jiaotong University Zhenxing Education Service Industry Co., Ltd. was established in February 1993. The registered place is located in Xuhui District, Shanghai. The legal representative is Guo Xiaoqing. The registered capital and paid-in capital are 1 million RMB. On May 7, 2020, the company added express services to its business scope. The company is 100% controlled by Shanghai Jiaotong University Education Service Industry Investment Management (Group) Co., Ltd., and the actual controller is Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

  "This is a cooperation agreement between the takeaway delivery platform and the relevant companies according to their own considerations and choices. There is no process that requires on-campus invite tenders. And Shanghai Jiaotong University Zhenxing Education Service Industry Co., Ltd. is also responsible for the on-campus express delivery business. They have both on-campus takeaway delivery teams and on-campus express delivery teams. These two teams can complement each other to ensure takeaway delivery during peak periods in the school." The Security Office replied.

  Rider: If you pay the fee to the Jiaotong University transfer station again, or consider "transfer order"

  The school security office also replied to the question of whether and why the 2.5 yuan that students are concerned about should be charged to the takeaway staff. It learned from Shanghai Jiaotong University Zhenxing Education Service Industry Co., Ltd. and the third-party distribution platform that the total delivery fee from merchants to dormitories in the Minhang campus of Jiaotong University is currently 4 to 5 yuan. The delivery platform promises not to increase the cost of teachers and students ordering takeout due to the adjustment of the delivery mechanism. During the practice run, the delivery platform extracts 2 yuan to 2.5 yuan per order for takeout delivery on campus according to factors such as distance, of which the delivery platform reserves about 1 yuan per order. According to the cooperation agreement reached between the delivery platform and Zhenxing Company, the remaining 1 yuan per order is the cost of Zhenxing Company responsible for on-campus takeout delivery. At present, in order to provide good service to the students, Zhenxing Company has almost given this part of the fee to the riders who are specifically distributed on campus.

  What do riders and merchants think about this?

  At noon on August 14, the surging news reporter saw at the Arc de Triomphe of Shanghai Jiaotong University that although it was summer vacation, there were still a lot of takeaways. Around 12:30 noon, there were seven or eight takeaway riders in ten minutes, most of whom were Ele.me.

  On the same day, the reporter stopped the riders at the entrance of the Arc de Triomphe of Shanghai Jiaotong University and near the Longhu Tianjie shopping mall near the school, and learned that most of them had heard about the new measures for takeaway admission to the school from September 1. According to multiple riders, they received the news that each Ele.me rider needs to pay 2.5 yuan/order at the transfer station, and Meituan riders pay 3 yuan/order.

  Xiao Deng, an Ele.me rider, told reporters that he heard the news as early as about half a month ago, "when he saw the relevant notice outside the North Gate of the school." Xiao Deng said that he has delivered takeout to Shanghai Jiaotong University for about two years. Usually, the main order comes from this university. After the start of school, an average of 20 to 30 takeout orders can be delivered a day. Xiao Deng said that he now earns about 4 to 5 yuan for each takeout order, and suddenly pays half of the fee, which is very reluctant.

  When asked by reporters whether the implementation of the riders’ new measures would affect their willingness to take orders, many riders said that it would indeed have an impact. "If you encounter a list of students from Shanghai Jiaotong University, you will consider transferring it to others, but there is also a limit to the number of times we can transfer it in a day. After all, if the money is less, who will do it?" Two other riders told reporters that in the future, orders on the campus of Shanghai Jiaotong University may be considered more for crowdsourced riders.

  The reporter then went to the merchants at the school gate as a student to understand the situation. Some business owners said "I don’t know, I don’t really believe this will happen", and some merchants said they had been notified, and their future expenses did not increase.

  On the afternoon of the same day, the reporter saw at the east gate of Shanghai Jiaotong University Minhang Campus that the transfer station had been set up, and the QR code for the communication group chat during the transition period was hung outside the door.

  The battle for takeout into the school: Some students have complained about safety hazards, and the measures have been adjusted several times

  A rider told reporters that just across the street from the Minhang campus of Shanghai Jiaotong University, East China Normal University has been placing takeaway food at the school gate for many years, "but their school gate is relatively close to the accommodation area, Jiaotong University is indeed too big, and it is too far from the school gate to the dormitory." The reporter’s inquiry found that the issue of takeaway food entering the school has indeed caused controversy at Shanghai Jiaotong University. In May 2023, a student posted on the school’s internal forum that "the takeaway rider in the school almost killed me".

  Over the years, the measures taken by the Security Department to bring food into Shanghai Jiaotong University have also undergone several adjustments.

"Ping An Jiaotong University" tweet on November 2, 2017 Source: Ping An Jiaotong University WeChat official account

  The reporter inquired about the WeChat official account of the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Security Department "Ping An Jiaotong University" and found that on November 1, 2017, at the special meeting on takeaway distribution management jointly held by the Jiaotong University Security Department and the East China Division Security Department, Yang Lizhi, the captain of the campus guard of the Shanghai Jiaotong University Security Department, pointed out that the management of campus takeaway delivery speeding, illegal riding, and uncivilized driving will be more standardized and effective. The meeting invited the heads of the surrounding takeaway stores to participate, and reached an agreement with the merchants. The two sides will use the Mi U App software to sell cars externally for real-time management.

  The meeting clarified that the secret service and security teams implement identity authentication management measures for food delivery personnel, and they can only enter the school if they meet the qualifications. The staff of the Security Department and the person in charge of the store can open the location of the food delivery personnel through the Mi U App software to keep abreast of the speed of cars sold inside and outside the school, including normal driving, faster driving, and speeding vehicles. The speed limit on campus is 20km/h. Combined with real-time monitoring data, measures such as warnings and deductions are taken for speeding vehicles, and the food delivery qualification will be cancelled after deducting 10 points.

  During the epidemic, the admission regulations of Shanghai Jiaotong University have changed according to the epidemic situation. On February 10, 2023, the WeChat official account of "Ping An Jiaotong University" issued an article saying that students’ relatives and friends can enter the school, but takeout will not be allowed to enter the school for the time being; on March 3 of the same year, the above official account issued an article saying that from now on, regular takeout staff can enter the Minhang campus for food delivery, and all takeout staff entering the school must dress properly and drive at a limited speed. Unlicensed takeout staff are strictly prohibited from entering the school. "For reasons of safety and unified management, only professional campus delivery team takeout staff designated by Meituan and Ele.me are allowed to enter the school to deliver takeout. For other takeout staff, it is not open yet. This campus takeout access has not charged any deposit or other fees to any takeout staff or delivery team."

  The Core Values of Volvo Cars: Safety, Quality and Environmental Protection

  Safety legend, leading the future technology

  All luxury brands have some leading edge-our advantage is safety, which is also one of the core values of Volvo cars. In Volvo Car Company, safety is always a comprehensive and complete solution. This overall view is the cornerstone of Volvo’s safety concept.

  We have the most powerful equipment and personnel to ensure our commitment to automobile safety. Volvo Car Safety Center is one of the most advanced car crash test centers in the world, and has conducted more than 2,500 crash tests since its establishment in 2000. Its crash test laboratory is equipped with two lanes, one is an adjustable movable lane and the other is a permanent fixed lane. In order to adapt to various test conditions, the adjustment angle of this movable lane can be up to 90 degrees at most, which can create conditions for frontal collision or side collision of vehicles at different angles and speeds.

  Panorama of Volvo Car Safety Center

  We believe that knowledge can save lives. The traffic accident investigation team of Volvo Car Company has been investigating more than 40,000 accidents for 40 years, transforming the first-hand investigation data into new research results and applying them to the development and improvement of vehicle models. Since 1970, the accident casualty rate of Volvo’s new cars has been reduced by 50%.

 

  The safety goal of Volvo cars is that by 2020, no one will be killed or injured by driving Volvo cars. In order to achieve this goal, Volvo Car Company is committed to the development of innovative preventive safety technology, because we believe that the safest way is to avoid traffic accidents as much as possible. From the brake assist system to the City Safety system, and then to the collision warning system with full automatic braking and pedestrian detection functions, the above technologies have been applied to Volvo representative vehicles, such as S80L extended version, XC60 and the new S60 which will be unveiled soon. Volvo Cars has continuously introduced breakthrough innovative safety technologies to lead the progress of automobile safety.

  Volvo Car Company’s latest breakthrough safety technology-collision warning system with full automatic braking and pedestrian detection function-will be listed at the same time as the new Volvo S60 in 2010. The system can detect pedestrians in front of the car, and the car will automatically brake to avoid accidents. This new technology aims to help drivers avoid hitting pedestrians when the speed does not exceed 25 kilometers per hour. If the vehicle speed is higher than this value, the system will reduce the vehicle speed during the collision as much as possible to reduce the damage caused by the collision.

  Pedestrian detection system

  Volvo Car Safety Center is currently developing safety systems for electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles. Through the advanced automatic monitoring of battery status and the effective protection of batteries in the event of a crash with the help of battery packaging technology, electric vehicles can achieve the highest level of comprehensive safety protection. Regardless of the model, fuel or power type, Volvo Cars requires all its cars to meet the same high safety standards.

  Environmental protection concept, care for the green world

  As a responsible corporate citizen, Volvo Cars is also in a leading position in the field of energy conservation and environmental protection. The overall environmental protection concept of Volvo Cars is summarized as "DRIVe noble environmental protection concept", which is the summary of Volvo Cars’ environmental protection blueprint and strategy. At the same time, it is also a model logo, which is used to indicate Volvo’s most environmentally friendly model. The lowercase letter e stands for environment. DRIVe environmental protection concept is Volvo Car’s commitment to sustainable transportation development.

  Volvo’s long-term environmental protection goal is "DRIVe Towards Zero". To achieve this goal, Volvo has launched a number of environmental protection technologies. By the end of 2009, Volvo Car Company has launched seven fuel-efficient DRIVe ultra-low emission models, all of which have the best carbon dioxide emission level in their class. At present, all DRIVe models are equipped with optimized ordinary diesel engines and manual gearboxes, which have ultra-low fuel consumption. These models have also been specially improved to reduce rolling resistance and wind resistance. Among them, C30 DRIVe 1.6-liter diesel vehicle represents the latest environmental protection achievements: carbon dioxide emission per kilometer is only 99 grams, and fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is only 3.8 liters, which is the lowest among its peers.

  Volvo Car Company and energy supplier Vattenfall jointly develop plug-in hybrid vehicles and energy infrastructure. The project will study drivers’ wishes and requirements, determine their driving habits and how they want to charge their cars. Volvo will first launch a mass-produced plug-in hybrid vehicle in 2012. This vehicle combines the pure electric power of the battery with a high-efficiency diesel engine, and can be charged by a household power supply. The total cruising range can reach 1,200 kilometers, the average carbon dioxide emission is 49 grams per kilometer, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is 1.9 liters.

  In September 2009, the prototype of Volvo C30 electric vehicle made its first public appearance. Volvo electric C30 has the same safety, comfort and space as a standard car. But only driven by electricity, the cruising range can reach 150 kilometers. At present, a small number of C30 BEV prototypes have been produced and tested by Volvo Cars.

  Volvo C30 BEV pure electric vehicle

  In addition to external environmental protection, all the fabrics inside Volvo Cars have passed the Oeko-Tex 100 hypoallergenic standard certification of the International Environmental Protection Textile Association, and it is the only automobile manufacturer in the industry that has passed this certification, which reflects the care of Volvo Cars as a luxury brand in environmental protection and health.

  Volvo Car’s unique "nose team" is composed of eight specially selected people with "standard noses", who provide designers with guidance on selecting materials and production technology, especially for automobile interior materials, and finally ensure a healthy and environmentally friendly first-class interior environment for the owners through strict inspection. In addition, cars equipped with New interior materials will be placed under a solar simulator for several hours until the temperature in the compartment reaches 65℃. Then the TVOC level (total volatile organic compounds) and aldehyde content in the car were measured by analytical equipment.

  Luxury quality makes Volvo cars go further.

  Volvo cars have always been known for their durability, which is not only reflected in the manufacture and appearance of products, but also in our choice of materials and the way of manufacturing cars. At the same time, our leading position in safety has directly improved our quality level. In order to let customers enjoy the high quality of luxury cars during the whole period of owning Volvo cars, Volvo Car Company has adopted a set of quality assurance plans. The plan covers the whole value chain from manufacturing, sales to after-sales service.

  In 2007, a Volvo P1800 model produced in 1966 set a new mileage record, exceeding 4.18 million kilometers (2.6 million miles), which can circle the equator about 104 times!

 

  The new modified C30, XC60 and S60, which came out in 2009, all indicate the future design trend of Volvo cars, which are younger, more sporty and bolder. Moreover, the change is not only reflected in the design language, but also in the product characteristics and technological innovation of Volvo cars. In recent years, Volvo has continuously introduced T6 twin-vortex turbocharged engine, GTDi high-efficiency engine, Powershift powershift, 4C active chassis control, AWD all-wheel drive system with Instant Traction and other new technologies, which have effectively improved driving pleasure and maneuverability from the aspects of power, transmission and chassis. Therefore, after personal experience, you will unexpectedly find the driving pleasure and handling beyond the past on the brand-new Volvo car.

  Innovative and enterprising

  In the 82-year history, Volvo Cars has adhered to its own road of innovation, making our life better. Through continuous innovation in design, power, safety and environmental protection, Volvo Cars not only promoted the development and progress of the entire automobile industry, but also realized the promise of providing high-quality life for high-end automobile users.

  Humanities accomplishment

  For the social elites who are innovative and enterprising, Volvo Car’s conspicuous and tasteful image is deeply in line with their humble and pragmatic attitude towards life. As owners of Volvo, they understand the true meaning of life and pay attention to the internal quality of products. Choosing Volvo is not a symbol of showing off wealth, but a pursuit of quality of life. This has also become the connotation that distinguishes Volvo from other luxury brands.

Road planning for itinerant examinations: there is no methodology for "itinerant examinations" to go ashore absolutely.

  (of a performer) hurry from one theatre to another

  In the past few months, Liu Xiaohao couldn’t know his destination accurately. In order to get a regular job, this fresh graduate has taken seven exams since last December. He always knows where to go next when he is informed of the exam, so he is used to buying only tickets for the examination room, regardless of the later trip.

  The most tense time was in the middle and late February of this year. In two weeks, Liu Xiaohao traveled to Wuhan, Zhengzhou and Beijing by high-speed train and plane to take four exams. There are still three exams, so he has to give up because of the time conflict.

  On February 25th, he enrolled in the recruitment of civil servants in Henan, Guangdong and Shandong and the recruitment of Zhejiang Tobacco Company. In the end, he chose the provincial examination in his hometown of Henan.

  In recent years, for many graduates, the attraction of a prepared job is self-evident. Many people will "tour" the whole province or even the whole country to take the civil service examination and various career preparation examinations.

  They are called "patrol examiners" and only when they are successfully admitted can they be considered as "ashore". One candidate said that he applied for 26 career positions in Hunan Province in half a year.

  Because of the large number of applicants for many exams, the price of hotels around the examination room will increase exponentially before the exam. On weekdays, the price of a room just over 100 yuan will become two or three hundred yuan.

  In order to save money, candidates need to book hotels as early as possible. Some people even predicted the scope of the examination room according to past experience before the examination was arranged, and selected different places nearby to book several rooms. If the final arrangement changes, then unsubscribe or transfer the unnecessary rooms.

  When hotel prices really rise, some people will go to the guest house for 70 to 80 yuan a night to make do. Examinee Hu Shu once chose a guest house. Only after checking in did I find that the password lock on the old wooden door of the room had been slightly damaged. She didn’t dare to fall asleep, so she left the bathroom light on all night. On the way out to buy dinner, she was followed by a strange man.

  In the Douban group of "Let’s go ashore for civil servants in the national examination and provincial examination", which was joined by 100,000 people, some netizens posted a message asking what means of transportation should be chosen for the first patrol exam. A candidate who went to Zhejiang for the patrol exam left a message, "The patrol party should be prepared to spend at least 500 yuan and 3,000 yuan for an exam."

  Hu Shu graduated from a university in a coastal city in Shandong last year and has taken more than a dozen exams for civil servants and institutions. Among them, the written part, the qualification review part and the interview part of three exams are crossed. Just after attending the qualification review of the first exam, she received the notice of the third written exam and the second online interview. To this end, she had to travel from the northeast to the southwest of Shandong, between two cities 300 kilometers apart.

  In order to control the cost, she only takes the train. Sometimes, sleeping for seven or eight hours is also beneficial, which can save one night’s accommodation.

  A teacher of a training institution once mentioned in class that he saw an army of patrol exams and took as many recruitment exams as possible for civil servants and institutions across the country. Every year, the provincial exams in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai became their "pre-test simulation" in order to prepare for the final provincial exam in his hometown.

  In 2023, more than 2.5 million people participated in the national examination, setting a record for the number of applicants in the past 10 years. For Liu Xiaohao, a fresh student, taking the civil service examination is only a part of his job search. Besides, he has to take the examination of public institutions.

  The data shows that the number of college graduates in 2023 is expected to be 11.58 million. As a graduate student majoring in economics who is about to graduate from a 211 university in Beijing, Liu Xiaohao started the basic review stage of the civil service examination in the last summer vacation of the university and started his own job search.

  He guarantees at least 12 hours of preparation time every day. Many people around him started taking the online exam in March and April. In order to save time, he finished the course at twice the speed.

  However, none of the seven civil service examinations he took successfully landed.

  He didn’t stop the exam tour. At present, his focus is on the exam tour of branches of China Tobacco, so he went to Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Yunnan and Hunan to take the recruitment exam.

  At the same time, he did not give up other career preparation exams. On the 10th of last month, he received an exam notice from Zhengzhou two days later, when he had just finished an interview in Hangzhou. On the way, he completed an interview with a bank online, made two sets of real-life simulations by printing the admission ticket, and then flew to the examination room in Yunnan.

  He is prepared to work hard until June this year. When he meets a good job opportunity, he will continue to fight for it. He doesn’t want to go to work and regret that he missed the opportunity of better development and better salary because he didn’t try.

  For him, the intensive exam arrangement has become numb. "There are too many exams from small to large." In 2016, when Liu Xiaohao took the college entrance examination, 820,000 people in Henan took the exam with him. "For these (applicants), competition has actually become commonplace."

  A person who collapsed in the examination room

  For the examinees, arranging the itinerary is only the first step. When they go to the examination room, the test is the real beginning. In the written test against time, candidate Sun Yijing will leave the problem until the end. However, when taking part in a provincial examination in Jiangsu, when she skipped a series of questions, she found that she had no questions to do. Later, in an exam in her hometown of Shandong, she was so nervous that she had a double image when reading the test paper, and she kept sweating. As a result, it was the worst exam result in her job search.

  She began to take the exam after graduating from undergraduate course. For the first time, she set off with her family at 6 am and drove to Lianyungang for the exam. Last time she was here, she and her family drove to see the sea.

  That year, she had just passed the judicial examination and was waiting for the results of the postgraduate examination, and she didn’t take the civil service examination to heart. In the examination room, she first learned the specific questions of the civil service examination.

  But at this time, she has strengthened her determination to take the exam. In July of that year, she went to the law firm as an intern and saw the busyness there, as well as the competition and pressure among colleagues. Moreover, her work needs to keep running to courts and procuratorates to meet other people’s time.

  That kind of busyness reminds her of her parents. Since she went to school, her mother has only attended one parent-teacher conference. The question of "Why hasn’t mom come back" runs through her whole childhood.

  Going to a place with a stable work rhythm is a very important consideration in her career planning. She envied her sister who entered the interview after taking the national examination for the first time and went ashore after taking the provincial examination for the second time. She also heard that her brother who gave up his job and concentrated on taking the civil service recruitment examination did not go ashore for five or six years. Children from relatives around them, even when filling in their volunteers in the college entrance examination, began to consider which major is more conducive to the examination of civil servants.

  The worst exam was to take a job that she really liked, working in the prefecture-level city in her hometown. Her body felt the pressure ahead of her heart. One month before preparing for the exam, in a quiet environment, she suddenly heard a noisy "drumming" sound, which was similar to the heartbeat. At first, she just thought there was something wrong with her ears, and she was not diagnosed as "nervous tinnitus" until after the examination.

  Compared with the postgraduate exam, Qin Xue originally thought it was much easier to take the exam.

  In July last year, after the second postgraduate entrance examination failed, she chose a new "track". She entered the interview the first time she took the exam.

  On the interview list, she was the last one. Before she entered the examination room, she collapsed. Before the postgraduate entrance examination, her father would make a special trip to the school to accompany her in the exam, so she didn’t have to worry about oversleeping or forgetting to bring her admission ticket because of carelessness. She took the exam alone. On the first night of arriving in the examination room city, she cried and called home and used up all the tissues in the hotel room.

  On the day of the exam, Qin Xue was so nervous that she vomited the wonton she had for breakfast when she was putting on makeup. Any trouble in the examination room will make her think more, and even the loud voice of the boys in the examination room will make her more and more nervous.

  The last question, which she had never prepared, escaped from the crowd waiting at the door before she left the examination room and waited for the interview scores to be posted. She didn’t pass the interview, and this failure made her decadent at home for half a month.

  Find the optimal solution

  For examiners, popularity is not necessarily the best choice. Some people regard their hometown or a city that is convenient to go home as the destination of the exam tour, and they are no longer blindly pursuing first-tier cities.

  Sun Yijing doesn’t want to be too far from home. She has been to many cities during the tour, but those places have hardly brought her freshness. Nowadays, online shopping can meet most of her living needs, while urban buildings are similar, "they all look the same" and "KFC is everywhere".

  She also took the exam in Beijing, but she didn’t witness the prosperity of the capital. On the way to the hotel, she saw an old building with dripping pipes and broken buildings.

  Liu Xiaohao gave up a good job in Beijing at the beginning of this year, focusing on the examination tour in Zhengzhou and second-tier cities with good development potential. The job he gave up had an annual salary of 200,000 yuan and a Beijing hukou, but he clearly knew that his ability and family conditions could not support him to settle down in Beijing.

  Qin Xue will still focus on jobs in first-tier cities. She wants to pursue further studies, and the local college education resources are her important consideration.

  Qin Xue always wanted to be a lawyer before her sophomore summer vacation. A summer camp to visit local law firms, courts and procuratorates changed her job search direction. In a well-known law firm, she found that luxury offices with high-rise buildings and beautiful rivers in TV dramas are not easily owned by ordinary people. More lawyers only have one desk, and rows of green plants add some life to the cubicle. She thought that in the bustling metropolis, herself on that small table was too insignificant.

  Graduated from a famous university in the field of law, she only has a bachelor’s degree and has no rich internship experience in law firms and companies. She has no confidence in her competitiveness. "On the contrary, taking exams all the time can give me a little sense of stability."

  Qin Xue occasionally thinks that if the postgraduate entrance examination is successful, he can better plan social practice and internship, make up for his previous regrets, and maybe have more choices in employment. But at present, for her, "Kao Gong is an optimal solution".

  A victory

  In the civil service examination, there is no methodology of absolute landing.

  In the last interview without a leading group that she participated in in the Qin Xue Tour Examination, she fought a "defensive battle".

  This interview form requires candidates to discuss and cooperate with others in a specific situation at the same time, and finally make the best plan to deal with the incident. Who can fully display individual talents and personality characteristics in a group of people will often stand out.

  She ranked first in the written test, but for the sake of insurance, she didn’t show too much enthusiasm. She was worried that it would cause the examiner’s dissatisfaction. And Qin Xue, a classmate in an interview class, encountered another complicated situation. In the group, they appeared the role of "lever essence", while her classmates appeared as mediators, and stood up several times to solve the contradictions in the group, and finally won the first place in the interview.

  After entering the interview for the fourth time, compared with the first time, Qin Xue was no longer afraid of being nervous. Every time she took the exam, she clearly remembered the real tension. Only by remembering this feeling can she learn how to overcome it.

  After landing as a destination, candidates can only constantly improve their ability to get close to infinity.

  Sun Yijing’s 13 rounds of civil service examinations have gone through her undergraduate and graduate career for five years. During graduate school, she will also force herself to take part in some competitions to exercise her interview ability. In the last few interviews, her scores have been rising steadily.

  Through the examination tour again and again, she will remember every reflection in the memo: speak slowly, answer the work of contacting the grassroots, and say "first, second and third" will be more logical than "first, second and last" … … She is no longer the person who was called "timid as a mouse" by the training class teacher when she first started the interview.

  Hu Shu continued to patrol the exam, and she expressed her confusion about taking the exam and applying for a job in Douban’s "Association of Mutual Comfort after Failure in the Exam" and "University Regrets Studying Accounting" groups. After more than 10 exams, she stopped blindly taking exams and made it clear that she would not choose some places.

  Last month, after a year’s tour, Qin Xue finally landed in Guangdong Province. Recalling the first time she signed up for the public examination interview class was a rare happy time after her graduation.

  During the two-year postgraduate exam, she closed her circle of friends and cut off unnecessary contact with the outside world. In the interview class, she met someone who resigned after working for several years to take the exam. A person who failed in the postgraduate entrance examination like her.

  Because the postgraduate entrance examination has been unemployed, Qin Xue often has age anxiety. I don’t know that there are such a group of people. Looking at those who are older than themselves and have experienced more social experience, they look both light and serious. She feels that she has broadened her horizons and is still young, and her life should not be trapped by one exam after another.

  At that time, the girl who shared a room with her was going to study abroad to improve her academic qualifications, and she continued to take the civil service exam after she came back. Qin Xue thought, if everyone finally chooses this road, there is nothing wrong with walking first.

Is it more expensive to change TV screens than to buy a new TV? Insiders: overhaul of digital products is not recommended.

  Recently, a video about the price of changing TV screens exceeded that of buying a new TV, which attracted attention. Many consumers are puzzled that the cost of changing TV screens has reached 70% to 80% or even exceeded the price of the whole TV. In this regard, some people in color TV companies said that it is normal to change the screen more expensive than buying a new TV. Especially for low-end TVs with lower prices, the screen cost accounts for a higher proportion of the whole machine price. If you add increasing labor costs, the screen change price will exceed the price of new machines.

  Professionals also remind consumers that from a technical point of view, it is not recommended to replace the core components of digital products separately, and it is not recommended to change the screen of TV sets that have been used for a long time.

  Why does it cost 4600 yuan to change the screen of a TV bought for 2700 yuan?

  Recently, a video of "2,700 yuan to buy a TV replacement screen actually needs 4,600 yuan" has attracted attention. The author said in the video that he spent 2700 yuan to buy a 75-inch TV set, but the accidentally broken screen needs to be replaced. After contacting the official customer service of the manufacturer, the price of changing the screen was as high as 4600 yuan. Consumers are dissatisfied with this. "Why is the price of changing a screen so much more expensive than buying a new machine?" The consumer said that he understood the fact that the TV screen can account for 70% to 80% of the cost of the whole TV set, and he could accept it if he spent more than 2,000 yuan on maintenance, but why did he quote as much as 4,000 yuan?

  In this regard, the Beijing Youth Daily reporter got in touch with the relevant personnel of a color TV manufacturer. The other party said that it is true that the TV screen can account for 70% to 80% of the cost of the whole TV set, but consumers ignored the labor cost of changing the TV screen. In the era of intelligent production, it is not surprising that the labor cost of the same process is much higher than that of automatic production. According to industry practice, the labor cost of changing the screen of 75-inch TV will not be less than 2000 yuan.

  TV LCD screen accounts for 70% to 80% of the total cost.

  It is understood that TV screen is the biggest cost in TV production. Since the popularization of LCD TV, the cost of LCD screen can account for 60% to 70% of the total cost of the whole machine. If the module cost closely related to the screen is added, the proportion will even exceed 80%. In recent years, with the development of technology, although the proportion of screens has declined, it is still an absolute big head.

  With the continuous promotion of panel localization, the cost of LCD screen has dropped rapidly, and the market price of LCD TV has also dropped sharply. This is why the 75-inch LCD TV only sells for more than 2,000 yuan, which is only equivalent to the price of a low-end mobile phone. However, this has also caused new problems, that is, the ratio of labor cost to TV price in TV after-sales maintenance is getting higher and higher, so consumers often complain that TV maintenance price is even higher than buying a new machine.

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily inquired from the Internet that in recent years, consumers have repeatedly vomited or complained about this matter online. In May last year, Shaoxing consumer Ren Shifu spent 3,450 yuan to buy an LCD TV. Because the inner screen was broken, it needed to be changed. As a result, he was told that it would cost 3,400 yuan to change the screen. In December, 2021, Ms. Wang, a consumer in Chengdu, reported to the media that the Xiaomi TV she bought just had a three-year warranty, and there was a screen splash phenomenon. In the after-sales process, Ms. Wang was told by Xiaomi TV maintenance personnel that "only the screen can be changed", and the overall cost was over 3,000 yuan, accounting for about 80% of the original price of the TV. "It’s too exaggerated, which is to let consumers give up maintenance."

  Digital products often have the problem that the maintenance price exceeds the new machine.

  In fact, it is not a TV "patent" that the maintenance price exceeds the new machine. In the interview, the reporter of Beiqing Daily learned that there are many similar problems in digital products with high degree of automatic production, especially the replacement of core components with high cost, and the total price often reaches or even exceeds the price of buying new machines. For example, the price of replacing the motherboard with notebooks, mobile phones and digital cameras will be significantly higher than the price of new machines.

  China electronic chamber of commerce Consumer Electronics Survey Office has paid attention to such issues as "the price of replacing lenses is almost 1,000 yuan" and "the price of screen maintenance exceeds that of new machines". However, in the survey, it was found that most of the digital products repaired by consumers were old products that had been used for several years, and the components of the old models were in short supply, and the production cost at that time was more expensive. If consumers compared with the same products with better performance now, the "cost performance" would definitely be uneconomical. Consumer Miss Zhang bought a 3,000-yuan digital camera in early 2018. After four years of use, there was an unusable fault, which was displayed as a motherboard fault according to the error code. When she found the seller who bought the camera at that time, she got the answer that she could only repair it at her own expense after the shelf life, and the total price exceeded 2,000 yuan. "Now the digital camera of the same grade only costs 2000 yuan, but I am used to this machine and I really can’t bear it." Miss Zhang is in a dilemma.

  Digital products that have been used for a long time are not recommended for maintenance, and it is more appropriate to directly replace them with new ones.

  Some digital manufacturers told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that for such digital products that have been used for a long time, it is actually not recommended for consumers to choose maintenance, and it is more appropriate to directly replace them with new ones. "This is not only a cost consideration, but also a technical suggestion. The first is the matching degree between various components. According to this person, in the product design, manufacturers will take the service life of each component into account as a whole, and the service life is matched with each other as a whole, thus avoiding the cost waste caused by the fact that some components have reached the service life and other components can operate normally for a long time. Take an ordinary digital camera as an example. If we don’t consider the outdated performance indicators, it is recommended to use a machine for about six years. If the motherboard fails after four years of use, we may encounter problems with other components two years later. "At that time, if you give up maintenance and replace it directly, it is equivalent to the fact that this new motherboard was laid off in only two years, which actually caused more waste." Of course, he also said that if it is only a minor fault of non-core components, it is worthwhile to spend a lower cost on maintenance.

  On the other hand, the precision integration of digital products is high, and the precision and standardization of manual maintenance and installation are definitely not as good as integrated manufacturing. Theoretically, there are also cases where the service life and performance of the same parts after manual installation are not as good as the original ones. Therefore, consumers are advised to be cautious about the overhaul of the core components of digital products.

Pack fruit, cooked food, leftovers … Are you using the plastic wrap correctly?

Products such as plastic wrap and fresh-keeping bag can be seen everywhere. We are used to tearing off a piece of plastic wrap to seal the cut watermelon and other fruits, and opening a fresh-keeping bag to repackage dishes to prevent cross-taste.

What gives these materials the ability to "keep fresh"? What should I pay special attention to when using it?

Types of plastic wrap

Pe (polyethylene) cling film

The main component of pe cling film is polyethylene resin, which is mainly used for packaging ordinary fruits and vegetables.

Pe plastic wrap is considered as a safe packaging material, which can package foods that come into direct contact.

Pe plastic wrap has good waterproof and air permeability, and is suitable for packaging fresh vegetables and frozen foods. However, due to its good air permeability, it is not suitable for packaging foods with high oil content and easy to be spoiled by oxygen.

Pvc (polyvinyl chloride) preservative film

Pvc is a kind of polymer compound formed by addition polymerization of vinyl chloride monomer, which has the characteristics of good transparency, high viscosity and good elasticity, but these characteristics are based on its great harm to people.

The monomer vinyl chloride of pvc has anesthetic effect, teratogenicity and carcinogenicity at the same time. Long-term contact will cause harm to human nervous system, liver and embryo, and its human safety limit is 1 mg/kg body weight.

At the same time, the thermal stability of pvc preservative film is poor, and heating or microwave treatment will cause it to crack and produce toxic vinyl chloride.

In addition, in order to make pvc material into a soft and transparent preservative film, it is inevitable to add plasticizer to change its property state during manufacturing.

Some pvc cling films may contain ethylhexylamine (deha) as a plasticizer, which will destroy the endocrine system of human body, be carcinogenic, and be easily separated from the packaging materials and enter the human body with food.

Therefore, the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine requires food preservative film manufacturers to indicate the material and scope of application on the product packaging, and it is forbidden to use deha in the production of pvc preservative film, and it is also forbidden to directly package meat, cooked food and oily food with pvc preservative film.

Pvdc (polyvinylidene chloride) cling film

Pvdc cling film is composed of polyvinylidene chloride, a small amount of plasticizer, stabilizer and other additives, which is mainly used for packaging some cooked food, ham and other products. It has the characteristics of good freshness, firmness and easy attachment, and can prevent water evaporation. It is superior to pvc preservative film in heat resistance and safety.

Pvdc cling film can be used for both refrigerator preservation and microwave heating, and its temperature range can reach -60℃~140℃.

Plastic wrap is not everything.

Plastic wrap has the advantages of preventing food from cross-flavor, reducing bacterial pollution and maintaining food nutrients.

It has certain air permeability and limits the loss of water, can adjust the oxygen content and water content around food, and at the same time block dust and bacterial pollution to a certain extent, thus prolonging the shelf life of food.

But it is not a "universal product" for food preservation.

Plasticizer will dissolve into food in water or oil above 60℃, so it is best not to keep cooked food and food containing a lot of oil with plastic wrap.

Fruits and vegetables with high moisture content are more suitable for preservation with plastic wrap, such as apples, pears and watermelons.

It is recommended to choose pe plastic wrap, especially when it is used for meat, fruit and other foods.

Pvdc plastic wrap has better moisture retention, and can provide longer fresh-keeping time compared with pe plastic wrap.

When buying plastic wrap, you should pay attention to the specific name or chemical formula on the package, and at the same time, you must choose products marked with the words "food use".

New energy vehicles go to the countryside to speed up again

  Source: Ministry of Industry and Information Technology Cartography: Wang Zheping

  Recently, new energy vehicles have repeatedly received favorable policies for going to the countryside. The the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee meeting stressed that it is necessary to boost large-scale consumption such as automobiles, electronic products and homes; The "Measures on Restoring and Expanding Consumption" proposes to implement policies such as building a high-quality charging infrastructure system, supporting new energy vehicles to go to the countryside, and continuing and optimizing vehicle purchase tax reduction and exemption for new energy vehicles; The National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration issued opinions, calling for accelerating the construction of charging infrastructure and better supporting new energy vehicles to go to the countryside and rural revitalization; The Ministry of Commerce made it clear that the "Consumption Boosting Year" would focus on key areas, and organized the activity of new energy vehicles going to the countryside in thousands of counties and towns … …

  What is the implementation of relevant policies? How to better meet the needs of the masses? How to build a supporting service system? The launching ceremony of this year’s new energy vehicles going to the countryside was held in Jingmen, Hubei Province a few days ago. The reporter conducted an investigation here.

  — — Editor

  "I deliberately got up early on weekends, and there are still many people watching cars!" The 4S shop was crowded, and Li Chengwu and his wife followed the salespeople closely. The newlyweds, who live in Levin Town, Shayang County, Jingmen City, planned to buy a new energy car at the beginning of the year, so they have to make a good choice when they go to town this time.

  In June this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, and the National Energy Administration simultaneously launched the 2023 new energy vehicles going to the countryside in Wuxi, Jiangsu, Qionghai, Hainan, and Jingmen, Hubei. The model that Mr. and Mrs. Li Chengwu are interested in happens to be among them, and there are many discounts.

  The construction of charging piles goes ahead, and the market demand in counties and townships continues to be released.

  Why is China-Italy new energy vehicle? Li Chengwu and his wife calculated the account: buy a model with a battery life of 200 kilometers and charge it once a week to meet the daily travel needs; Using public fast charging facilities can save three or four thousand yuan a year compared with fuel vehicles.

  Convenient and affordable, it has become the main consideration for many customers to buy cars. Haodi Company is BYD’s general agent in Jingmen area. Chen Quan, sales manager, told reporters: "Recently, the company’s monthly turnover has stabilized at more than 200 vehicles, and many more customers have bought cars from counties and villages." It is understood that BYD originally had only two 4S stores in Jingmen, and now it is planning to open new stores in county-level cities such as Jingshan and Zhongxiang.

  Why should we promote new energy vehicles to the countryside? According to the study of electric vehicle travel in rural areas of China, by 2030, there will be nearly 160 vehicles with 1,000 people in rural areas of China, with a total of over 70 million vehicles, and the market scale may reach 500 billion yuan. Peng Yong, deputy director of Jingmen Economic and Information Bureau, said that the market penetration rate of pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles is 15.9% and 10.4% in counties and villages of the city, which still has great growth potential compared with the central city.

  What is the first problem to be solved to stimulate growth potential? Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, believes that the construction of charging piles must be laid out in advance for new energy vehicles going to the countryside.

  When the reporter came to Levin Town, he met Dai Feilong, a new energy owner, in a parking lot: "Two years ago, there was a slow-filling pile in the town, and I bought a pure electric car. Now a new fast-filling pile has been built, which can be fully charged in less than an hour, which is more convenient. "

  Since 2021, State Grid Jingmen Power Supply Company has built charging facilities in 52 towns and villages in the city. This year, it has completed upgrading and expansion, and built 58 DC fast charging stations, equipped with 112 fast charging piles and 120 slow charging piles, which is the first in the province to achieve full coverage of fast charging piles in towns and villages. From January to June this year, the charging capacity of charging piles in Jingmen township increased by 182.33% year-on-year, ranking first in the province.

  "The charging piles at the entrances and exits of township expressways and popular tourist villages are used frequently, and we have added fast-filling piles." Huang Kai, head of the electric vehicle business of State Grid Jingmen Power Supply Company, believes that the charging infrastructure should be built in front, so that consumers can have no worries.

  When new energy vehicles enter the village, the demand for personal charging piles is greater. Not long ago, Yu Liangrui, a villager from Zengmiao Village, Zilingpu Town, Dongbao District, Jingmen City, applied for charging pile installation business on his mobile phone. On the same day, the staff of State Grid visited the site to complete the on-site investigation; Two days later, the charging pile was electrified. "Many families in rural areas have single-family houses and have enough space to install personal charging piles. This advantage makes it difficult for towns to compete. " Huang Kai said.

  Demand upgrade leads product iteration, and vehicle functionality is continuously enhanced.

  Set up tents, put up banners and put gifts … … In Macheng Town Square, Duodao District, Jingmen City, the off-line tour of new energy vehicles attracts residents to experience.

  For several years, Chen Quan first drove the demo car to the boundary far away from the city. "In less than half a day, the contact information of several interested customers has been added." Chen Quan said that there will be more exhibitions in towns and villages.

  Xiao Liu, a staff member of Macheng Industrial Park, bought a plug-in hybrid car two years ago. Now he is a little annoyed. "I should have bought pure electricity at the beginning." She found that the touring models not only have longer cruising range and faster charging speed, but also add practical new functions such as smart parking and digital keys.

  Compared with the early years when cars went to the countryside to mainly solve the problem of "whether there is", now with the improvement of consumption level, new energy vehicles have to solve the problem of "whether it is good or not". Chen Jintao, deputy director of the Economic and Information Bureau of Duodao District, exemplified that some middle-aged consumers are facing the demand for vehicle redemption, and whether the cruising range is sufficient is the main consideration; For young people who buy the first car, the new "gameplay" related to assisted driving and intelligent network connection is more attractive.

  The reporter consulted the catalogue of four rounds of new energy vehicles going to the countryside and found that only 10 companies and less than 20 models initially participated in the countryside, most of which were traditional car companies. This year, the number of models going to the countryside has increased to 69, which has opened up the distinction in terms of price, function and power, and some mid-to high-end models have also been included.

  Products are iterative with the upgrading of demand, and so are commercial vehicles. According to the data of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, in 2022, the sales of new energy commercial vehicles in China accounted for about 1/10 of the total sales of commercial vehicles. The reporter learned that among commercial trucks, the micro-closed van that the masses call "micro-surface" is the mainstream model and is often used for short-distance logistics transportation.

  Liu Jun is a pure electric micro-surface user of Dongfeng Motor, who lives in Tuanlinpu Town, Duodao District. In the early morning, he drove agricultural products to the vegetable market in the city. In his spare time, he took orders to distribute food and department stores on the group buying and pulling platform, and traveled more than 100 kilometers every day. However, occasionally receiving a list of decoration building materials made him quite puzzled: "It is not easy to put a water pipe three or five meters long in the car. If only the cargo compartment were bigger. "

  For Liu Jun, the car should not only run fast but also save money and be reliable. Pan Chonggang, deputy director of the commodity planning department of Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. said that the pure electric micro-surface currently sold by Dongfeng is based on the original passenger micro-surface "oil to electricity", and the loading capacity is limited. To this end, they decided to upgrade the product line and design a brand-new pure electric micro-surface model.

  The R&D team was stationed in rural areas of Zhejiang and Hubei to investigate the use scenarios such as express delivery into the village. "We found that the hillside into the village is slippery, and the car should have good handling stability and sufficient power; In order to facilitate loading and unloading, the volume of the cargo compartment should be increased to at least 5 to 6 cubic meters, and spacious side doors and tailgates are needed. " Pan Chonggang said, "The new pure electric micro-surface car has been tested and is planned to go on the market next year."

  The supply of affordable vehicles needs to be strengthened, and shortcomings such as after-sales maintenance need to be filled.

  From urban areas to counties, towns and villages, with the gradual sinking of the market, consumers need different models. The reporter found in the interview that the cruising range of 300 kilometers is too short for some urban consumers, but it may be too long in the village — — Many villagers make a living by farming or small businesses, and are unwilling to pay for miles they don’t need.

  Zheng Peng, secretary-general of Hubei Electric Vehicle Circulation Association, said that the models purchased by county and township consumers are mainly A00-class mini new energy vehicles and A0-class small new energy vehicles, accounting for about 60% to 70%, and the price ranges from 50,000 to 80,000 yuan.

  "For some consumers who only need to travel instead of walking, electric three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles are more attractive; For fellow villagers with production needs, the cargo capacity of new energy trucks is generally small, and there are not many optional brands of commercial vehicles such as pickup trucks, light trucks and micro-noodles. " Zheng Peng suggested that relevant enterprises should reduce costs and increase efficiency from product design, supply chain and other aspects, develop more "explosive" products for the rural market, and constantly explore the market "blue ocean".

  What aspects can be improved to promote new energy vehicles to the countryside?

  The charging facilities in township areas are scattered, and the construction and management costs are high. Huang Kai opens the monitoring page of the charging station in the operation center of State Grid Vehicle Networking Platform on the computer, and four colored circles indicate the utilization rate, failure rate, offline rate and charging success rate of the station. He admits that in the past year, the supply of slow filling piles in towns and villages in the city has exceeded demand, and the utilization rate is generally not high; However, in the peak period of returning home such as the Spring Festival, the demand for fast filling piles is in short supply.

  According to estimates, according to the calculation of adding 6,000 new energy vehicles every year in Jingmen City, the centralized charging load in the city will reach 250,000 kilowatts in 2030. "There are more and more users installing personal charging piles now. Adding a slow-filling pile is equivalent to adding four 1.5-horse air conditioners, which greatly improves the requirements for transformer capacity. " Huang Kai is worried that the relatively weak rural power grid is difficult to load.

  At the same time, the blocking point of after-sales maintenance also needs to be cleared. Some car owners report that many auto repair shops can’t repair new energy vehicles. Zheng Peng introduced that the maintenance of fuel vehicles is mainly mechanical maintenance, while the maintenance of new energy vehicles is mainly in battery circuits, and having an electrician’s operation certificate is the basic threshold. At present, there is a market gap of more than 40% for technicians who are proficient in "three electricity" maintenance such as batteries, motors and electronic control systems.

  Focusing on the bottleneck problem that restricts new energy vehicles from going to the countryside, relevant measures are being improved from top-level design to local practice. The "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating the Construction of Charging Infrastructure to Better Support New Energy Vehicles to the Countryside and Rural Revitalization" puts forward 11 specific measures in three aspects, and strives to promote new energy vehicles to the countryside by moderately advancing the construction of charging infrastructure and optimizing the purchase and use environment of new energy vehicles. "Some vocational schools in Hubei Province have set up new energy auto repair majors, and the Provincial Electric Vehicle Circulation Association is also carrying out new energy auto repair technician training business, and plans to jointly develop and launch new energy vehicle battery maintenance standards with insurance companies." Zheng Peng said that the road will be smoother when new energy vehicles go to the countryside.
