When the taxi driver heard Zeng Shaoqiang's objection, he counterattacked very sensitively without hesitation: "Am I talking nonsense? I think your brain has been kicked by a donkey. What taxi driver doesn't know these things I said?
We have so much evidence accumulated in our hands that you actually said I was talking nonsense. I guess you are from the Transportation Authority, right?
But I’m not afraid even if you are me! I have been working as a taxi driver for 10 years, and I have experienced that our income has dropped from tens of thousands of yuan to four to five thousand yuan, while prices continue to increase, and all this
It’s all thanks to you incompetent officials from the Transportation Management Office. I work as a taxi driver and sell coolies. I operate a regular business and have all my certificates. I’m not afraid of you checking!”
As he spoke, the taxi driver's tone was full of gunpowder.
Liu Haotian also noticed a detail. When the taxi driver mentioned that he had not had a holiday for more than three years, tears came from the corners of his eyes and his voice became choked up.
Only men understand this kind of suffering.
In order to repay the mortgage and car loan, to send his children to school, and to provide medical treatment for the elderly, this taxi driver hardly dares to get sick himself. If someone has a headache, fever, or brain fever, he will persist even though he is sick.
Because he has the entire family on his shoulders!
This is an ordinary Chinese man!
This is their sense of responsibility.
Liu Haotian looked at the thin driver and the two tears in his angry expression when he spoke. Liu Haotian's heart was deeply touched.
Liu Haotian has taken a taxi and chatted with the taxi driver more than once. He is very worried about the taxi driver's current living conditions.
Because of this, he personally took Zeng Shaoqiang, the director of the Transportation Management Office, and Huang Shaolong, the executive deputy mayor, to take a taxi and conduct research together.
He wanted them to truly see and hear with their own ears the current situation of taxi drivers and the arrogance and illegal behavior of Internet taxi-hailing platforms.
Zeng Shaoqiang was shocked by the taxi driver's sudden and strong counterattack. He did not expect that the taxi driver was so excited.
He knew that at this moment, he was not only sitting in the car, but also the two leaders of the Xilin City Government.
Zeng Shaoqiang felt sweat starting to form on his forehead.
At this time, Liu Haotian continued: "Master, when I use the Kaka Taxi app to take a taxi, I only take a taxi because I know that for the same distance, the same starting place and destination, the cost of taking a taxi is higher than using a taxi.
Taxi rides on Kaka taxi app are cheaper, at least 15% cheaper!”
The taxi driver nodded slightly: "You are a smart guy. You are right. More than one passenger has told me this kind of thing, and the passengers also reported that at the same distance, they used mobile phones.
The higher the price, the higher the cost. Although the Internet taxi software platform does not admit this, many consumers have confirmed that this is true after conducting a lot of research.
Actually, I have some brothers who run taxi-hailing apps, and we chatted together. Let me tell you, my brothers who run taxi-hailing software are also quite depressed now. Their commissions are as high as 25% to 30%. Don’t worry.
It seems that you consumers have spent more money, but those drivers who use taxi-hailing apps do not earn as much as us taxi drivers for the same distance.
Now we taxi drivers are not satisfied with our own income, and the KaKa drivers who run taxi-hailing software are also dissatisfied with their income, because these taxi-hailing software platforms have taken away almost most of the profits and have made these KaKa drivers
Kaka taxi drivers are struggling to survive, which is why some time ago, there was a saying on the Internet that the current Kaka taxi drivers, including those who take out food delivery, have been trapped in the system. This is an indisputable fact.
These Internet platforms have mastered the technical advantages for a while, and through continuous optimization of algorithms and big data, they are finally squeezing these drivers. It can be said that while the Internet platform economy brings convenience to consumers' lives, it also
It has caused many serious social problems.
The inaction of the Transportation Management Office has made it even more difficult for us drivers to survive. However, I have no way to report it. Although I dare not say that it is because the officials are protecting us, every time we report it, the relevant departments can always find a reason.
Come and ignore the content of our reports. Now we are all chilled. As the lowest level of society, we can only accept our fate! Who makes us uneducated! Who makes me only have a college degree!"
As he spoke, the taxi driver's voice was a little low, and his tone was full of decadence and frustration.
Executive Vice Mayor Huang Shaolong felt a little weird about what the taxi driver said. He asked: "Are those Internet economic platforms so exaggerated? The same distance differs by one or two yuan because of different paths.
Isn’t money normal?”
The taxi driver gently shook his head: "Old gentleman, you may not be aware that our taxi drivers, including online ride-hailing drivers, all charge based on kilometers. The same distance and the same walking route.
, the distance difference will not exceed half a kilometer, and the difference of about one yuan is normal, but the difference between taking a taxi and taking an online ride-hailing service will be huge!
The longer the distance, the greater the difference. Just like the place you went to, it costs about 28 yuan to take our taxi, but if you take an online taxi, you can’t get there without 32 to 33 yuan! This is not a difference of three or two yuan.
, this is a gap of five or six yuan!
Of course, the online car-hailing platform has subsidies, which sometimes make you feel that the price is very cheap, but what if it does not have subsidies, and it is impossible for it to give you subsidies all the time. The purpose of giving you subsidies is to make you feel
The price of online car-hailing services is cheap, but in fact, the price of online car-hailing services is more expensive than that of taxis. The so-called cheapness is just an atmosphere they deliberately create. When you don’t have subsidies, you will spend a lot more money!
"
As the two parties chatted, the destination arrived. After getting off the car, Zeng Shaoqiang's face turned dark, and the uneasy feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Because he saw that Liu Haotian had already taken out the taxi-hailing app on his mobile phone and started to take a taxi, and the destination was exactly where they got on the bus just now.
At this moment, Zeng Shaoqiang wanted to take out his mobile phone and call the transportation management office and ask them to take action immediately, but he did not dare.
Afterwards, Liu Haotian and the other three took a Huaxiaoniu taxi ride again and rushed directly to their destination.
In the car, Liu Haotian chatted with the online ride-hailing driver Chen Danian.
"Brother, how much money can you make in a day driving classic cars like you?"
The online ride-hailing driver sighed and said: "If you work hard and can earn about 400 yuan a day, the online ride-hailing platform will deduct about 25% of the commission, plus a 50 cent software service fee, and then deduct
The cost of gasoline is about 30%, and the profit falling on us is only about 40%!
And that's not counting the wear and tear on the car.
Alas, life is not easy to do now! I really regret buying this car to use it for online ride-hailing! Now it’s hard to get off! When I first bought this car, the online ride-hailing commission was only 15%, but now it has gone up.
It’s 25%, plus miscellaneous fees, it’s nearly 30%! It’s too dark!”
Liu Haotian nodded, and after chatting with the online ride-hailing master for a while, he said: "Brother, if you run this taxi-hailing software, do you have an operation license and operating license?"
The online taxi driver was a young man in his twenties. Hearing what Liu Haotian said, he curled his lips and said: "If you use Kaka Taxi, five or six of the 10 drivers will have the certificate you mentioned, but
If you take a ride like us, it’s good to have one or two out of 10 with certificates!
I don't!"
Liu Haotian was suddenly stunned: "Can you operate without a certificate? Doesn't the online car-hailing platform care?"
"What the hell! We are a low-end platform, the price is cheaper than Kaka Taxi, and the price is the same. If it requires everyone to have relevant documents, who is still using this platform?"
The original purpose of building this low-end platform was to share risks, to separate the online ride-hailing drivers with certificates from those without certificates, and to control most of the online ride-hailing drivers in their own hands, thus preventing new ride-hailing companies from entering the market.
The establishment of the platform is a means for others to ensure monopoly!"
When Liu Haotian heard what the online ride-hailing driver said, he was a little surprised, because he didn't expect that the online ride-hailing driver could see things so clearly.
Liu Haotian nodded: "I completely agree with your statement. But I don't understand one thing. Do the people in the Transportation Management Office have no regard for these online ride-hailing platforms? Especially on this platform where so many people are...
If we don’t have the relevant documents, won’t the transportation management office care?”
"Don't worry! Who doesn't know that the relationship between the Transportation Management Office and these online ride-hailing platforms is almost as good as wearing a pair of pants!
There is a joke that has been widely circulated among our online car-hailing driver group. It is said that Zeng Shaoqiang, the director of the transportation management office, once went to the online car-hailing platform’s headquarters in Xi’er Province to conduct research. After going there, he pointed out in a strong manner
He found some problems with their online car-hailing platform, which scared the branch manager of the online car-hailing platform. That night, he directly arranged for Director Zeng to have a full meal, drink and play, and even specially arranged a long-term lover for him.
!
And coincidentally, there is an online ride-hailing driver who is the boyfriend of Director Zeng’s lover!
Director Zeng’s lover was also a weirdo. Every time he dated Director Zeng, she would tell her boyfriend the details, and her boyfriend would tell everyone in our group!
Brother, you would never have guessed that Director Zeng of the Transportation Management Office has a very strange hobby..."
Before the online ride-hailing driver finished speaking, Zeng Shaoqiang couldn't bear it anymore and shouted angrily: "Look at your car, stop talking nonsense!"
The online ride-hailing driver was also angry: "I'm not talking nonsense. Director Zeng's lover always takes a lot of photos and sends them to her boyfriend. I have a lot of them on my phone!"
As he spoke, the online ride-hailing driver directly handed his mobile phone to Liu Haotian: "Brother, look at it, I will never deceive people!"
Liu Haotian took the phone and looked at it for a few times, then turned to look at Zeng Shaoqiang, then smiled and said to the online ride-hailing driver: "Brother, can you send me some photos, I am very interested in these photos?"
"
The online ride-hailing driver smiled and said: "No problem, you can send it yourself. My WeChat account is open, just send it directly. I have to drive, and it's not easy to meet such a big order like yours!"
Liu Haotian directly used the online ride-hailing driver's mobile phone to send some photos of Zeng Shaoqiang to himself.
At this moment, Zeng Shaoqiang, who was sitting in the back seat, looked as pale as paper.
