  Should the taxi concession system be broken?

  – Implications from the development of the US taxi control system

  Authors: Xu Kangming, Su Kui

  In the early 1970s, an anti-government control ideology arose in the United States, which is very similar to some domestic ideological trends today. It believes that government control "rarely does the right thing" and relying on market mechanisms "rarely does the wrong thing". As a model of a free economy, the government restricts the freedom of access to certain industries and does not allow market competition mechanisms to determine prices. The core guiding ideology of deregulation holds that government pricing and industry access systems will inevitably lead to waste of resources and inefficient services, and even belong to administrative monopolies. At the same time, it restricts the choice of service types and price systems for transportation service recipients. Even though some scholars originally suggested that it was the late 19th and early 20th centuries that market failures gave rise to government access and price controls on the transportation service industry, under the strong impetus of this trend of thought, the United States began to partially or fully deregulate many transportation service industries, involving most transportation modes such as aviation, road passenger and freight, rail transportation, and intercity passenger transportation. The taxi deregulation movement experiment was also launched in this wave of free economy.

  First, the North American taxi deregulation test failed to meet expectations

  The confluence of political forces out of dissatisfaction with traditional taxi services and "theorists" out of their adherence to the fundamentals of market economy forcibly promoted this deregulation action. In the urban taxi industry, a cycle from regulation to deregulation and back to regulation was dramatically performed. American cities have imposed access and price controls on the taxi industry since the 1920s. Half a century later, more than 20 cities, most of which are in the so-called sunshine zone, that is, cities with rapid economic development, have completely or partially lifted such controls. However, due to the unsatisfactory effect of deregulation, almost all of these cities have resumed access and price controls for the taxi industry.

  Opponents of taxi regulation argue that the free market allocates resources most efficiently and offers taxi passengers the best mix of prices and services. Therefore, encouraging competition and innovative services is the main purpose of liberalizing taxi market access. Proponents argue that free market access promotes higher service quality and lower prices, and facilitates innovative services. This view was crucial to deregulating the taxi industry. In 1965-1983, 18 cities in the United States and Canada scrapped taxi access mechanisms in order to encourage competition and encourage innovation.

  At that time, some scholars and experts did not agree that the taxi industry could adopt the principle of free market, believing that the many advantages of the taxi industry brought by relying on market forces would fail in an imperfect market environment, and regulation was a necessary means to correct the market failure. The main views of these scholars are: (1) Taxi is not a general commodity, taxi is a supplement to public transportation, and it is an important public service, especially for some cities with underdeveloped public transportation, and for some special groups (such as the elderly, the disabled, and outsiders) It is an irreplaceable basic service. ( 2) Passenger transportation is an extremely sensitive industry to safety, and regulation is conducive to the implementation of many measures to provide safe travel for passengers; (3) Regulation is conducive to fair and legal competition, such as some urban taxi markets are controlled by evil forces; (4) Regulation is conducive to the implementation of the cross-subsidy mechanism, and taxis under the control mechanism implement the same rate in the entire region to form a cross-subsidy mechanism, that is, peak income subsidizes flat peak, and high-density area income subsidizes low-density areas. If there is no such regulation, the service level of flat peak and low-density areas will decrease significantly, or even not be effectively served; (5) Asymmetric information leads to market failure, and regulation is to solve the information asymmetry existing in the taxi industry, which causes consumers to be disadvantaged; (6) Taxi is a random consumption It is difficult to survive the fittest through market forces. Regulation can reduce vicious competition. Free access will attract a large number of operators and individual operators to enter the market, ultimately leading to excessive supply of transportation capacity and affecting service quality.

  When the rental control system was relaxed, the number of taxis in these cities in the United States and Canada was oversupplied, and the revenue per driver was greatly reduced after the oversupply. Some cities were unable to maintain minimum income requirements and updated vehicle requirements. Those cities with a relatively large proportion of roadside tenancy quickly resumed the control system in the mid-to-late 1980s. Some cities had more roadside tenancy stations. Due to the oversupply of taxis, the waiting time for taxis was too long, which not only reduced their income, but also affected the efficiency of taxi turnover. Another layer of pressure on the taxi surplus is the price. Drivers constantly demand price increases, pick passengers, refuse to take short trips, "detour", and reduce the quality of taxis. All kinds of bad habits are even more and more serious.

  Fourteen cities, including Boston, Baltimore, Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, and Seattle, regained their taxi number control systems, which basically ended the original 18 cities’ attempts to abandon the taxi number control system. Facts and actions once again confirmed the necessity of reasonable taxi control. The remaining cities that persisted for a period of time also partially reapplied the taxi control idea. And even though Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, which claims not to carry out quantity control, has suffered from excessive quantity, although many attempts to refer to New York’s management of operating rights have failed to control the quantity, Washington has in fact not issued new cards since 2010. In 2014, it was once again proposed to control the current number by 2016, so as to actually implement the management of the number of taxis, but it is a more flexible control mechanism than New York.

  The problem with taxi services is that they are not well regulated

  The taxi quantity control system is an important measure to ensure the stable development of taxis based on the characteristics of taxi services. However, if the establishment of a dynamic coordination mechanism for quantity, service quality, price, and driver income is ignored in the implementation process, the taxi market is also prone to various criticisms. The specific manifestations are: (1) quantity shortage, if the adjustment time interval in the quantity adjustment mechanism is too long, taxis are prone to form a shortage of supply and eventually form a regional or peak period taxi hailing difficulties; (2) hindering adjustment, if the market price of taxi operating licenses is too high, it is easy to form interest groups, and interest groups often try to prevent or delay the adjustment of quantity, or try to reduce the number of new taxis; (3) regional differences, quantity control can easily cause taxi services to be concentrated in areas with high demand for taxis, such as downtown commercial Areas with high demand for taxi travel, such as districts, cultural and entertainment areas, and hotels, will have insufficient taxi supply to low-income areas and suburban areas; (4) It is not easy to adjust prices, and the control mechanism often makes it difficult to adjust taxi prices. The taxi price adjustment mechanism requires a hearing to adjust prices. City governments often postpone taxi price adjustments as much as possible. Cities often do not adjust taxi prices for a long time until the price contradiction intensifies before starting to adjust prices. (5) Labor conflicts. Taxi control mechanisms can cause labor conflicts between some drivers without taxi operating licenses and the owners of operating licenses, because these drivers must pay the fee for using the license. When the overall economic situation or taxi market demand is not ideal, economic disputes are prone to occur.

  The current concession system implemented by "cruise taxis" in China. In 2002, the Ministry of Construction’s "Opinions on Accelerating the Market Process of Municipal Public Utilities" defined the municipal public utilities concession system as "in the municipal public utilities industry, the government grants enterprises the right to operate a certain municipal public product or service within a certain period of time and scope, that is, the concession right." Under what circumstances can the government implement concessions to a municipal public utilities industry? The answer is simple. It must be conducive to the realization of public interests and prevent operators from obtaining the privilege of monopolizing profits. The characteristics of taxi services are that individual citizens and outsiders have very weak service quality monitoring and bargaining power, while taxis are necessary and encouraged to develop travel tools. At the same time, by setting prices, the characteristics of weak bargaining power of individual consumers can be avoided. Whether the service characteristics of taxis are corporate operations or individual carriers, in the end, each rental service demand needs to be completed independently by a practitioner, and the demand is 24/7, regardless of frost, rain, day and night, the demand will exist, and the income of taxi practitioners must be guaranteed before someone is willing to provide services around the clock. Under the premise of taxi price limitation, in order to ensure that taxi practitioners and taxi operators have reasonable income and profits, a reasonable total control must be implemented on the number of taxis in a designated service area.

  As mentioned above, after the taxi market adopts concessions, if the lack of dynamic quantity control mechanism will cause the contradiction of taxi difficulty, if the lack of dynamic price control mechanism, it will cause the contradiction between taxi driver income and labor, if the lack of service quality control will cause the taxi service level is low. The current domestic taxi market has many problems and needs to be improved and improved, but it is undeniable that in the context of inflation in the past ten years, taxi prices have remained low for a long time (some cities have not even adjusted prices for 18 years), and many governments have hardly dared to get involved in taxi price adjustment. In recent years, due to factors such as oil prices, labor costs, traffic congestion, and labor conflicts, taxi prices have had to be adjusted in small strides. Taxi as a public service has basically maintained a stable, low-cost, and reliable transportation service. This is due to the hard work of employees and the government’s price control. Some current reports and commentaries demonize the taxi industry, arguing that it is unfair and rational to break the taxi concession system, and ignoring the valuable experience gained from international reform practices.

  III. The Internet promotes the further improvement of taxi control

  Finally, looking at the current regulatory status of taxi concessions in the United States, after the Internet companies Uber and Lyft launched Internet rental services and profitable ride-sharing platforms, has the United States called for and is breaking the taxi concession mechanism? The answer is no! Although all parts of the United States are setting various conditions through legislation to regulate Internet taxi-hailing software companies to engage in Internet rental services for cruise taxis and rental taxis, as well as gradually standardizing profitable ride-sharing platforms that are in conflict with traditional taxi operations, the United States has not called for breaking the taxi concession mechanism. Of course, many cities have also reviewed the impact of the Internet on traditional taxis when formulating Internet rental control regulations, and optimized the control system (such as requiring drivers to use taxi-hailing software compulsively, improving the price mechanism, reducing license fees, etc.). Uber Uber has expanded to more than 250 cities around the world under the impetus of capital forces, and these cities have not proposed to break the taxi concession mechanism. And some cities that were not regulated in the past are still joining the ranks of regulation.

  At the moment when the characteristics of taxi services have not fundamentally changed, a taxi concession mechanism is necessary. In the Internet age, especially when taxi-hailing software companies have absolutely occupied the online leasing market under the impetus of capital power, whether a taxi concession mechanism is still necessary, the answer is necessary. This is the guarantee mechanism to maintain that citizens can continue to enjoy low-priced, stable and fair passenger transportation services. However, the right to operate a taxi under the concession mechanism should not become a hotbed of rights and capital rent-seeking, and the right to operate a taxi should not be alienated into an investment asset and usurp monopoly income. This needs to be reformed and improved. In addition, to alleviate the problems of difficulty in taxi hailing, poor service, and single form, it is necessary to improve the control mechanism, rationally locate the function of taxis, dynamically evaluate the number and price of taxis, increase the number of cruising taxis in a timely manner, and vigorously develop legal rental and ride-sharing. The impact on the Internet should also be continuously observed. Only changes in the service characteristics of taxis can determine the reform of the control method. The sticks of the media, experts, and misguided citizens are in the wrong place. (Xu Kangming, Su Kui)

Hubei cities and counties: Intercity shuttles, buses, and taxis begin operations

  According to the latest notice of the provincial COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control headquarters, low and medium-risk areas in the province are allowed to gradually resume public transportation travel. From March 13 to 14, the reporter visited and found that Xianning, Yichang and other places have gradually resumed public transportation such as passenger lines, buses, and taxis under the premise of strictly doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control.

  Xianning 2 places to carry out "point-to-point" transportation

  Escort migrant workers back to work

  On the morning of March 14, a bus was parked at the entrance of the city terminal in Tongcheng County, Xianning City. After the staff took the temperature one by one, 43 people boarded the bus. According to the introduction, these people are all migrant workers who returned to Yiwu, Zhejiang Province. Under the organization of local transportation, human resources and social security departments, they took a special car to return to Yiwu.

  The relevant person in charge of the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau of Tongcheng County said that the county is a large labor export county. In order to help migrant workers who are stranded at home and hold the Hubei health code "green code" return to work as soon as possible, the government department has adopted a "point-to-point" "one-stop" delivery service under the premise of ensuring that the epidemic prevention and control measures are in place. This is the first batch of escorts, and then a unified health review will be carried out to prepare relevant travel documents for the returning migrant workers, and the travel of personnel will be organized in batches.

Migrant workers in Tongcheng County take their temperature before boarding the car

  According to the relevant person of Tongcheng County Chengfa Public Transport Group, in order to ensure safety, the full load rate of the bus does not exceed 50%, the passengers are scattered and the vehicles are fully disinfected. All personnel must wear masks throughout the process.

  Coincidentally, Xianning Chibi City Passenger Station has opened a "point-to-point" bus from Chibi to Yueyang, with a single fare of 40 yuan.

  According to the relevant person of Chibi City Transportation Management Bureau, as a low-risk area, Chibi is also a large county (city) exporting labor services, and most people work and do business in Guangdong and Zhejiang; considering the problem of insufficient transportation capacity, after communicating with Yueyang, Hunan, from March 13, the bureau will send migrant workers who hold Hubei health code "green code" to Yueyang High-speed Railway Station in batches, where they will transfer to high-speed rail for travel.

  It is reported that the county has put in 17 buses and disinfected them strictly according to regulations. The last row of seats is set up as a temporary isolation area, and the full load rate is controlled within 50%. Each passenger takes the temperature before entering the station and wears a mask throughout the process. At present, the county has transported more than 200 migrant workers to Yueyang High-speed Railway Station "point-to-point".

  In addition, Qianjiang City has also adopted the form of chartered buses, transporting 72 migrant workers "point-to-point".

  Hubei has gradually resumed public transportation in many places

  At 15:00 on March 13, four buses departed from Yichang Bus Passenger Transport Center Station at the same time, and were sent to Xingshan, Zigui, Yidu and Wufeng respectively. This was the first batch of intercity buses that Yichang Transportation Group had opened after gradually resuming traffic operations.

  On March 14, some taxis in Yichang were put into operation, and the number of people going out gradually increased. On the same day, approved by the Yichang epidemic prevention and control headquarters,Yichang City has resumed intercity shuttles from the urban area to eight counties and cities.

Yichang passenger station

  Wang Yanbing, general manager of the Road Passenger Transport Division of Yichang Transportation Group, introduced that on the 13th, 9 intercity shuttles were sent from Yichang City to 4 counties and cities; on the 14th, 48 intercity shuttles were sent, with an average of 6 trips per county and city (3 trips each), and a total of about 2,000 passengers were sent. The company expects that the number of intercity trips will increase to 60 on the 15th.

  Wan Pingyuan, the head of the road detachment of the city’s transportation bureau, said that Yichang City is gradually restoring the city-to-county intercity shuttle bus. At present, the number of vehicles in operation is about 20% of the usual. Passengers make reservations on the "Yichang Delivery Passenger Transport" WeChat official account, buy tickets with real names, and scan the code to verify boarding. After boarding the bus, they sit apart and wear masks throughout the process. Vehicles are not allowed to drop off passengers on the expressway. However, the intercity shuttle bus is only allowed to flow from the urban area of Yichang City to the urban area of each county, and between counties and cities.

Yichang passenger station

  In addition, all counties and urban areas in Yichang have gradually resumed urban and rural shuttles (buses) and village buses, but the number is significantly reduced than usual. On the first day of operation, there were not many passengers.

  In terms of buses and taxis, as of 15:00 on March 14, Xiangyang, Huangshi, Shiyan, Xiantao, Qianjiang and other places have gradually resumed bus operations, and a total of 132 bus lines have been restored, including 47 in Shiyan, 39 in Xiangyang, and 21 in Daye. Yichang, Shiyan, Qianjiang and other places have gradually resumed taxi operations, operating more than 2,700 vehicles.

  The relevant person in charge of the Provincial Transportation Department said that at present, all localities have formulated a plan to gradually resume public transportation travel. In the next few days, in addition to Wuhan, more cities and counties will gradually resume public transportation travel, and there will be more "point-to-point" and "one-stop" vehicles to escort migrant workers back to work.

  Wuhan: Customized bus transfers for returning personnel

  On March 14, it was learned from Wuhan Public Transport Group Economic Development Company that according to the "Reply on Matters Related to Supporting the Resumption of Work and Production of Employees in Wuhan Development Zone (Hannan District) " of the Wuhan Municipal Headquarters’s Transportation Security and Environmental Remediation Group, on the same day, the company organized the first batch of 23 special buses and 23 drivers for the "customized special car" commuting rehearsal for units and enterprises in the two administrative areas of the Economic Development Zone (Hannan District) and Hanyang District. From March 16, it will officially provide orderly and smooth commuting services for the return of some enterprises.

  The company designs the travel routes and stops required for the next day according to the specifications one day in advance. If each line has 10 people, a special car can be reserved successfully, and the upper limit of each car is 50% of the limited number of passengers. The vehicle dispatcher of the bus company reasonably arranges the special car to wait for passengers at the designated station according to the number of reservations and the appointment time. During the commute, the company assigns volunteers to accompany the car to verify the identity and health status of the passengers. Customized services not only eliminate the process of getting on and off the bus halfway through, but also ensure that the people in the car are fixed and single, and realize that the stop of the commuter special car and the start of the shift time are "customizable".

  The first batch of 23 commuter cars resumed work strictly according to the requirements. The 23 drivers are mainly personnel who have served medical care and supermarket commuter lines in the early stage. Through the "actual combat against the epidemic" in the past few days, they have rich experience in vehicle disinfection, passenger identity investigation, and their own health conditions. Drivers participating in the operation sign a "Safety Commitment" and complete physical and mental condition tests before leaving the car. During the operation, the vehicles are required to be "disinfected one after another". Drivers wear their own protective equipment strictly, ensure that the car is fully ventilated during driving, and arrange seats for passengers at a safe distance to ensure the safety of the car environment and ride to the greatest extent.

House prices are confusing, and the "swinging family" camp is divided.

Topic: picture channel

  


  Although house prices have been "hitting new highs", the enthusiasm and noise of the property market have obviously cooled down, and the wait-and-see mood of buyers has been aroused unprecedentedly. Liu Yulian painted


  In late September, a series of new real estate policies were introduced, which gave a strong medicine to the property market that was boiling oil. With the introduction of regulatory combination boxing, the "swinging family" mentality of the property market began to divide. Some people took the opportunity to enter the market, some people held money and waited and saw, and some people were waiting for the house to rise. Between the games, the property market is complicated, and the trend of property prices is still confusing.


  "Group Buying Family": Re-emerging from the Jianghu


  As the weight of buyers on the balance of buying and selling began to increase, group buying that disappeared during the skyrocketing property market began to reappear.


  After the successive regulation of the New Deal, the property market not only failed to welcome the expected "Golden September and Silver 10", but entered hibernation ahead of schedule. The wait-and-see attitude of buyers has increased, the transaction volume of the property market has shrunk sharply, and the mentality of developers who can live in strange goods and hoard houses has also undergone intriguing changes. Some real estates have begun to launch hidden concessions or promotional activities, and the amount of real estate advertisements in newspapers has increased sharply.


  Correspondingly, the weight of buyers in the balance of buying and selling began to increase. When the house price soared, there was once a phenomenon that the sales office was "difficult to enter and ugly". However, since September, buyers have begun to speak boldly, and some small and medium-sized developers have extended olive branches, and "property market group buying" has reappeared.


  On November 5th, a real estate in Pukou, Jiangbei, Nanjing, launched a large-scale group purchase activity. The developer took out 85 suites and gave 100 yuan to 250 yuan/square meter discounts according to different areas and payment methods. The average selling price of these houses was therefore lowered to about 4,300 yuan/square meter. On November 10th, another large building in Jiangbei, which is more than one million square meters, organized a large-scale group purchase activity. The developer drove the group purchase car to Xinjiekou in the city center, and all the members present were given gifts and provided free afternoon dessert tasting. What’s more remarkable is that "group buying shops" have appeared for the first time in Nanjing. A project claims that as long as it becomes a member, it can enjoy a minimum discount of 1% during the subscription period, and those who successfully subscribe on the official opening day of the first phase of the shop will also enjoy other discounts.


  A developer said privately that the duration and depth of this round of regulation is still difficult to say, and the property market will enter a "frozen period" in the short term. In order to complete the sales task and withdraw funds before the end of the year, group buying and other promotional methods are still very attractive to some buyers who have rigid demand but wait-and-see psychology.


  The change in the attitude of developers has received a positive response from buyers. At the "Nanjing Owners’ Union" in xici, some netizens posted a message soliciting citizens to form a group to buy houses, and the first batch of three properties were launched. After the netizens signed up, the sponsors could talk with the developers about the preferential discounts for existing homes according to the number of people. As soon as the post was issued, it attracted more than 17,000 clicks. Hundreds of netizens signed up with the post, and some people listed their favorite real estate names, hoping that the purchase group could "negotiate" with the developers to reduce the price.


  However, more netizens hold a wait-and-see attitude. Someone posted: "The opening price of ×× real estate in August was 12,000 yuan/square meter, and now it’s on special offer, 9,088 yuan/square meter. I don’t think the developers can hold it any longer. Everyone waits for the house price to fall before buying."


  According to industry insiders, judging from the attitude of buyers and sellers on the issue of "group buying", the "tug-of-war" in the property market will continue. According to a survey of nearly 8,000 netizens on a website in Nanjing, 62.2% of the citizens said that they would not enter the market to buy a house in the near future. The latest survey of Shanghai consumers by the Applied Statistics Research Center of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics also shows that 65.9% of the respondents believe that it is not a good time to buy a house at present, and the expected index of the opportunity to buy a house in the next six months has dropped by 14.6 percentage points compared with the second quarter.


  "Contract Breakers": From Sellers to Buyers


  The mentality of buyers and sellers in the property market has changed significantly, and the protagonist of "breaking the contract" has begun to change from the seller to the buyer.


  When the house price was "sturm und drang" in July and August this year, "price jumping" became a buzzword in Shanghai’s second-hand housing market. After the buyers and sellers reached an agreement, the phenomenon that sellers unilaterally raised the price was everywhere. Many speculators in the property market are asking exorbitant prices from buyers who make inquiries. The price is not only very different from that of the intermediary company, but also they often ask for a substantial price increase for no reason after reaching an intention agreement, each time the range is as high as 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, and even the landlord jumps the price for four consecutive times in the same transaction within one month. A seller lamented: "I can sell it at random, and I don’t know how much this house should sell!" "


  Since September, the central government has continuously sent the signal of property market regulation, banks have contracted housing loans, especially second-hand housing loans, and the cumulative effect of five interest rate hikes by the central bank has gradually emerged, and the reins of soaring real estate prices have begun to tighten. The mentality of buyers and sellers has changed obviously, and the protagonist of "breaking the contract" has begun to change from the seller to the buyer.


  The reporter learned from some real estate agents in Nanjing that since October, the listed houses in the second-hand housing market have increased significantly, and the quotations have also dropped accordingly. The listed prices of individual houses have dropped by 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. "There are still some sellers who insist on the original listing price, but the psychological price has been reduced, and clearly told us that’ the price can be discussed again’." Wang Xiaojun, general manager of Nanjing Mozi Real Estate Company, said.


  Chen Wei just paid a penalty in the real estate agency. "Now the second-hand housing loans are tightening, and the most affected ones are those rooms with old age and small area in the urban area. This is a good time to find a house. It’s a fool not to take a machete out at this time. Compared with the difference of50,000 yuan, the liquidated damages at the intersection point are nothing at all. "


  According to the public notice list of check-out in November just released by Nanjing Housing Management Bureau, there are more than 80 check-outs with obvious investment color in 105 suites, and 45 check-outs have appeared in one property. Statistics of real estate online in Nanjing also show that the exchange rate of some properties is quite high. For example, the number of check-outs in Zhongtai International Plaza in the last 90 days reached 189, that in Mingfa Binjiang New Town Phase II reached 156, and that in Tianrun City reached 153.


  "housechangers": It looks beautiful.


  Second-hand housing "swap" is not only convenient, but also reasonable tax avoidance, but it is too difficult to find suitable housing.


  When the cold snap hit the property market, the second-hand housing market was the first to encounter "quick freezing"-not only the down payment ratio was high, but individual banks even stopped the second-hand mortgage completely; High transaction costs also discourage buyers, and the highest tax collection ratio in the process of buying and selling has reached 11.6% of the total price. In a depression, the "exchange of second-hand houses" attracts attention, which is not only convenient, but also reasonable tax avoidance.


  Wang Xiaojun, general manager of Nanjing Mozi Real Estate Company, said that for those "housechangers" who want to improve their living conditions or to facilitate their children’s schooling, "exchange of house property rights" can be considered. After the property of both housechangers is evaluated, the deed tax can be exempted for the equivalent part, as long as the relevant taxes and fees are paid according to the difference. The national policy supports this demand for self-occupied housing exchange, which can not only avoid the high threshold of credit, but also greatly save transaction costs.


  Although "it looks beautiful", "changing rooms" has great operational limitations, that is, the needs of both parties complement each other. There is very little chance for buyers and sellers to be "affectionate and interested". Therefore, the exchange stickers for changing rooms on the Internet are often in vain.


  Mr. Hou of Nanjing is undoubtedly lucky. He has a 75-square-meter house in Gulou District in the center of the city. Although the house was reformed in the early 1990s, similar houses are very popular in the second-hand housing market because there is a well-known primary school nearby. Because of the high floor, Mr. Hou wants to change his parents to a house with a low floor to facilitate the elderly to go out. He hit it off with Mr. Zhu, who wanted to change a good school district for his son. Zhu’s house is next to the newly-built Nanhu Park, with a good environment and on the second floor, which is most suitable for the elderly to live in.


  After intermediary evaluation, the difference between the two houses is 52,000 yuan. According to the policy of Nanjing, in order to encourage individuals to adjust their properties, only the deed tax is levied on the difference between the two properties in the process of "changing houses", while the equivalent part is tax-free. Since they are all houses for more than five years, there is no need to pay business tax, and both parties have saved more than 23,000 yuan compared with buying and selling second-hand houses.


  A person from the Property Market Department of Nanjing Real Estate Bureau said that the number of applications for "house exchange" is about 10 per month, which is basically the exchange of houses between relatives and friends, accounting for a very low proportion of the total second-hand housing sales. On the one hand, it is difficult to match the "house exchange", on the other hand, the "house exchange family" does not understand this preferential policy, which is also one of the reasons.

  BEIJING, Beijing, August 30 (Qiu Yu) The application announced by the Beijing minibus index management system shows that all the 60,000 new energy vehicle indicators have been robbed. New energy vehicles are becoming more and more popular. The reporter from Zhongxin. com (WeChat WeChat official account: cns2012) found that more than 10 provinces have introduced relevant policies to encourage the purchase and use of new energy vehicles, and the problems such as insufficient number of charging piles are expected to be improved.

  Charging facilities — —

  Many places require large public buildings to charge parking spaces not less than 10%.

  The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development issued the Notice on Strengthening the Planning and Construction of Urban Electric Vehicle Charging Facilities, saying that by 2020, the number of electric vehicles in China will exceed 5 million, and the contradiction between the serious shortage of charging facilities and the rapid growth of electric vehicles will be further aggravated.

  In order to solve this problem, Hebei, Fujian and other places put forward requirements for the configuration of charging facilities near residential areas and large public buildings in documents.

  The reporter found out that Hebei, Fujian, Guangdong, Chongqing and other places require that the parking spaces for new residential buildings should be 100% reserved for the construction and installation of charging facilities, and the parking spaces with charging facilities for large public buildings should be no less than 10% of the total parking spaces. At least one fast charging and replacing power station should be built for every 2,000 electric vehicles.

  Regarding the proportion of parking spaces with charging facilities in large public buildings, Shandong and Hainan have higher requirements, with 15% and 20% respectively.

  Shanxi stipulates that from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2017, highway tolls will be levied by half for the marked gas heavy trucks and methanol heavy trucks when passing through highways in Shanxi Province.

  Many places plan to strengthen the promotion and application of new energy vehicles in the field of public services, and put forward specific proportions.

  Hainan requires that from 2016 to 2020, the proportion of new energy buses in newly added and replaced buses will reach 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% and 90% respectively. From 2018 onwards, new energy vehicles should be 100% used for vehicles added or replaced by public institutions every year, except in special circumstances.

  Shandong proposed that in 2014-2016, the proportion of new energy vehicles purchased by government agencies and public institutions in Qingdao and other demonstration cities for the promotion and application of new energy vehicles in that year was not less than 30%, and it will increase year by year.

  Not only in the field of public services, Gansu has also put forward requirements for the overall promotion of new energy vehicles in the province. From 2016 to 2020, the number of new energy vehicles promoted in the province shall be no less than 10,000, 12,000, 15,000, 20,000 and 30,000 respectively, and the number of new energy vehicles promoted shall account for no less than 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5% and 3% of the total number of new and updated vehicles in the region.

There are 7 people in the queue of 20 people hired by Chengdu online celebrity Cake Shop.

  There is an online buzzword: I have walked the longest road, which is your routine. Now, it may have to be changed to: "The longest queue I have ever stood in is all for child care."

  Especially in some tea shops, doughnut shops, Guo Kui shops and other snack bars, and even at the door of hot pot restaurants, it is often seen that there are many people waiting in line at any time, and some even have 40-50 people waiting in line. "The line is too long, and the road can’t be lined up!" People can’t help but sprout. Are these people in line really queuing? Or a fake queue?

  Even at noon when the outdoor temperature is 39℃, there is always a long queue in front of a snack bar named "Beef Youmo" in Dakejia Lane, Chunxi Business Circle, Chengdu. From July 10 to July 12, Huaxi Dushi Bao-cover journalists chose the methods of on-site squatting, shooting videos and unannounced visits, trying to expose the truth behind them.

  doubtful point

  The average taste of beef oil is 7 people, and each time they buy one, they queue up repeatedly.

  During the summer vacation, Mr. Chen from Guangdong took his children and his family of three to Chengdu to play. When passing Dakejia Lane in Chunxi Road business circle, he was attracted by a queue of more than 30 meters long in front of a snack bar named "Beef Youmo", and intuitively judged that the cakes in this store should be very delicious.

  Walking into this small shop of about 10 square meters, two or three employees are busy in the shop. On the wall, there are all kinds of flavors of beef oil (similar to Guo Kui but with more fillings), and the prices are all in 10 yuan. If it weren’t for the long queue, this old-fashioned shop would be unremarkable at all.

  At noon, the outdoor temperature is close to 40℃. Mr. Chen asked his wife and children to wait on the bench and queue up by themselves.

  The reporter estimated that it was Mr. Chen’s turn to buy from 12: 50 until 1: 30. "It tastes just so-so. I don’t think it’s worth waiting in such a long line to buy food."

  "There are still few people now, and there are more people on weekends or holidays." A man in white short sleeves shouted hard. "Bake now and sell now, come on, let’s take advantage of the fact that there are fewer people in the queue now &hellip; &hellip;” When people come in line, the lead conductor will quickly step forward, collect money, and then give customers bags to wait in line.

  From July 10th to 11th, from 12 noon to 17: 00, reporters were on the scene for two days. There are at least 12 people in the queue, and more than 20 people, most of whom are tourists with foreign accents.

  In the tens of meters long queue, there are also some tourists who give up queuing and leave halfway. However, during the four or five hours of squatting, the reporter found a strange phenomenon: at least seven people were waiting in line from 1 o’clock until the reporter left. These include three women traveling together, a man and a woman traveling together and two separate men. Different from other tourists, these seven people appear to be with an easy grace, unhurried, and some of them are either playing mobile phones or whispering to each other, talking and laughing. The reporter roughly estimated that the seven people had lined up at least four or five times in the whole afternoon, and even seven or eight times.

  Their behavior and trajectory are also surprisingly consistent: queuing and buying only one. After buying it, they didn’t eat it directly, but left slowly in the direction of a large supermarket nearby. After about 10 minutes, these people returned to the queue. Then, the beef oil in their hands disappeared. The reporter noticed that these seven people will not appear in the team at the same time. Generally, three or four people will line up at a time and repeat the cycle.

  survey

  Two days before and after, four people all lined up to buy cakes and went to the same place.

  The behavior of these people is full of doubts. If you buy beef oil, why not buy enough at once, but go to the queue four or five times and buy only one at a time? They left with beef oil and returned in just 10 minutes. Did they eat the food or where did they go? With these doubts, all the reporters continued to observe at the door of the store, and the other reporters followed the footsteps of these people all the way to see where they went.

  Time: 12 noon on July 10th &mdash; twenty past five p.m.

  The reporter first noticed four people. A man in grey short sleeves, jeans and khaki sandals. At 13: 59, he appeared in the queue, holding a paper bag in his right hand. In front of him, a trio of women appeared together, in which a tall woman wore a flowered skirt, a short-haired woman wore denim shorts and white short sleeves, and another middle-aged woman wore green short sleeves, which was very conspicuous.

  About 20 minutes later, each of the three young women left with a beef oil, passed by the door of a large shopping mall nearby, and then entered the first city, passing through a 1-meter-wide passage next to the entrance of the parking lot of Kejia Building at No.48 Zhengkejia Lane, and then entered a small door. In less than 10 minutes, three people came out of this door empty-handed. Subsequently, the gray short-sleeved man also entered this small door. After more than 10 minutes, they appeared in the queue again.

  From 12 noon to 5: 20 pm, the reporter found that there were at least seven people who participated in the queue for three times, most of them were gray short-sleeved men and trio, and they went back and forth at least four or five times. When the queue was the largest, there were 20 people in the queue, 7 of whom were "old faces".

  Time: 1: 00 noon on July 11th &mdash; 4 p.m.

  At 1 pm on July 11, the reporter went to the scene for investigation again. As the day before, there was still a long queue here. The clerk in white short sleeves who is in charge of collecting money and directing the queue is still the same shouting words.

  Soon, the reporter found that several people who appeared the day before appeared again. In the women’s trio, the flowered skirt was replaced by a yellow striped skirt, the short-haired woman with denim shorts, and the white short sleeves were replaced by blue short sleeves, while the middle-aged woman with green short sleeves wore white short sleeves. A men’s gray short sleeves turned into dark shirts. Since 2 o’clock, these four people have walked back and forth three or four times along the route of the previous day.

  Different from the day before, the reporter noticed that several new faces appeared. After combing the two-day investigation, nearly 10 "customers" in this store are suspected of being childcare.

  Starting from the bottom

  A special company organizes fake queues for 10 times a day with a monthly salary of 1,500 yuan.

  What is the identity of these childcare, and where did they come from? In order to solve these puzzles, the reporter immediately contacted the clerk in charge of collecting money and directing the queue on the grounds of part-time job. At the scene, the clerk refused at first, saying that they didn’t need to recruit part-time jobs. It may be considered that there are too many people on the scene, and then he asked reporters to add WeChat communication first.

  Looking through his circle of friends, in the past year, almost all of them have shown off small videos and photos of long queues in the store. For example, on July 5, he proudly said in the video: More than 30 people lined up in the rain on rainy days, too many people! For example, on May 5, there was a long queue of nearly forty or fifty people in the video. He said, "The queue is too long, and the road can’t be lined up!"

  The reporter repeatedly asked the clerk to directly recruit himself for a part-time job, but he was rejected.

  He said that all the people in the queue are sent by intermediary companies every day, and the store can’t directly recruit people. He added that there is a group of intermediary companies with more than 200 people who signed up at 6 o’clock the day before and only recruited the top 20 people.

  He further explained that if he really wants to do it, he can take the reporter to see the boss of a part-time company and then enter his group. "You can ask him to arrange it for you every day."

  In fact, it’s not just queuing that involves fraud. At first, the shop assistant asked the reporter about his height, and said that if the height and other conditions were good, singers who participated in some activities could "lip-synch".

  The survey found that these intermediary companies are very mature. On the one hand, by recruiting a large number of part-time staff, and then "selling" in batches. Some stores that need "child care", the intermediary company is responsible for sending a batch of "child care" every day, and the price ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan. After the role "playing" is completed, we can pay the fee quickly by means of WeChat transfer, and the intermediary earns the difference for a living.

  Vertical depth

  Consumers Association, lawyers say: This is consumer fraud!

  Lawyer Chen Fengfeng of Sichuan Yingji Law Firm believes that operators hire people to queue up, which means that operators use asymmetric transaction information to artificially create the phenomenon of people queuing, create an illusion that products are popular with the public and business is prosperous, and use people’s curiosity and conformity psychology to gain good reputation and benefits. Legally speaking, this is a kind of consumer fraud, that is, by covering up the real situation of commodity sales, the operator deceives consumers to mistakenly trust the quality of the commodity and consume it.

  The reporter called the industrial and commercial complaint 12315 consumer hotline to reflect, and the staff said: it is fraudulent for snack bars to hire people to queue up to induce consumers to consume. The public should actively report such things, and whether the snack bar behavior involves illegality needs further verification.
