"2016 China’s top 500 private enterprises released the report" shows that in 2015 Wahaha operating income 49.40 billion yuan, compared with 2014 revenue plummeted more than 20 billion yuan, causing industry attention.

Industry analysts believe that the real main reason for Wahaha’s decline in performance lies in its aging brand, lack of star products, and too single market.

Revenue plummeted by more than 20 billion yuan　

2015 revenue plummeted more than 20 billion yuan, equivalent to losing the entire nutrition fast line, Wahaha performance decline once disclosed quickly caused concern and concern in the industry. According to publicly disclosed data, 2013-2015 Wahaha revenue were 78.30 billion yuan, 72.80 billion yuan and 49.40 billion yuan, showing a downward trend year by year.

Regarding the plunge in revenue in 2015, Wahaha responded that the main reason was that the data of Hongsheng Beverage Group Co., Ltd., which was controlled by Zong Qinghou’s daughter Zong Fuli, was not consolidated. In addition, online rumors and product transformation and upgrading also had a certain impact.

The official stressed that Wahaha’s current production and sales are normal, and the company has paid 3.10 billion yuan in taxes to the state from January to July this year. "Not only does the company not have a penny of bank loans, but it also has tens of billions of yuan in deposits."

Zong Qinghou said recently that the beverage industry is facing a downward trend. Wahaha’s growth rate fell from more than 20% in previous years to 4% last year and only 2% in the first half of this year. For the reason of the decline, Zong Qinghou concluded that it was affected by malicious attacks on online rumors.

"China’s beverage industry will always be a sunrise company, and as long as it is done well, I think it will always develop healthily. Because no matter what, people always want to eat and drink."

Nutrition Express still supports Wahaha’s performance

In Wahaha’s entire product system, there is an over-reliance on individual products. According to Wahaha’s previously disclosed figures, as of the end of 2014, Wahaha had a total of more than 100 categories of milk beverages, bottled water, carbonated beverages, tea beverages, juice beverages and functional beverages. Among many products, Nutrition Express, which has a product age of nearly ten years, is still the largest single product supporting Wahaha’s performance.

According to public data, the sales of Nutrition Express in 2013 exceeded 20 billion yuan, which means that this single product alone contributed about 1/4 of Wahaha’s performance. The previous online rumors that Nutrition Express contains Botox also caused Wahaha’s performance to suffer, and the revenue loss was said to be as high as 5 billion yuan.

According to industry insiders, the sales performance of old products such as Nutrition Express, AD calcium milk, and purified water has accounted for more than half of Wahaha’s overall revenue, and the market performance of these large single products is also declining. With the rise of new beverage brands, Wahaha Nutrition Express’s market share is also gradually shrinking. In the bottled water sector, brands such as Nongfu Spring and China Resources Yibao have made competition more intense and continue to occupy Wahaha’s market share of purified water.

Food Industry Researcher, China Brand Research InstituteZhu Danpeng believes that the aging of the Wahaha brand is manifested in three aspects: first, Zong Qinghou is still addicted to the business philosophy of the late 1990s and early 2000s; second, the entire Wahaha executive team has been working hard with Zong Qinghou for many years and has been assimilated seriously. It cannot make changes in time for market changes; third, market research and development is "like a boiled frog", innovation is delayed, and the success rate of new products is getting lower and lower.

Wahaha’s self-help requires innovation

With the decline of the third- and fourth-tier markets and more intense competition, since the end of 2015, Wahaha has seen its own shortcomings and decided to make up for the shortcomings of the mainstream market in first- and second-tier cities. Subsequently, Wahaha launched some new products to meet the needs of first- and second-tier mainstream consumer groups. Wahaha launched some new beverages, such as C drive, coconut milk vegetable protein drink "Come and squeeze", blood orange juice, etc., but failed to win market recognition.

For Wahaha’s new strategy, Zhu Danpeng is not very optimistic, believing that Wahaha’s brand power and recognition in first- and second-tier cities have declined very severely. At present, Wahaha’s brand recognition and price positioning are mainly in third- and fourth-tier markets, but in the price range of more than 5 or 6 yuan, Wahaha basically has no products.

For Wahaha’s future prospects, industry analysts believe that if it fails to achieve brand rejuvenation, product innovation, and a redefinition of its marketing model, Wahaha’s performance will accelerate its decline.

　　 Today is the International Consumer Rights Day. This year’s CCTV 315 party focuses on rural consumption and old-age consumption, exposing and cracking down on illegal business practices, and also conducting experiments to crack all kinds of rumors encountered in everyone’s daily life, giving early warning tips on consumer risks.

　　 So what are the listed companies tonight?

　　 The first bomb: Volkswagen Touareg

　　 "Volkswagen Touareg" is afraid of getting wet, and the engine is frequently scrapped! Talk to me about cross-country with what?

　　 The trouble of engine water intake occurs frequently, and the time is concentrated in June-September, which is a rainy season, and the design problem of the air intake of Touareg is the main reason for water intake.

　　 When the car engine once water … Owners have said.

　　 "The engine shuts down automatically, and I can’t hit it anymore …"

　　 "The steering wheel can’t move, and the brakes can’t stop. It’s really resigned …"

Solution: Unplug the drain valve (a global solution given by the German headquarters).

　　 At present, many Touareg car owners whose rights and interests have been infringed are still waiting for maintenance in 4S shops. Faced with such a solution, car owners also expressed their concern, which will also reduce the wading depth of Touareg cars. "We don’t dare to cross the country, and we don’t dare to wade, which means that the significance of buying this car does not exist."

In the shooting picture, the staff member’s reply was on fire: "God creates people with flaws, not to mention cars?" I cann’t argue …

　　 Before the broadcast of the 315 party, Volkswagen has announced the recall of some Touareg cars as soon as possible.

The second bomb: shanzhai drink

　　 There are no walnuts in the "walnut and peanut" beverage: a can of "additive juice" is exchanged for 8000 bottles of beverages, and most of them flow into the rural market.

　　 Many enterprises in Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province have copied a large number of popular drinks in the market, such as walnut dew, walnut and peanut drinks, almond dew, and some even imitated the packaging design. Some manufacturers told reporters that these products are generally sold to third-and fourth-tier cities and rural markets.

　　 What about "walnut dew"? Acesulfame K, potassium sorbate, walnut essence … all kinds of additives, but no walnuts! Walnut dew is blended with peanut butter, and the merchant gives the reason: peanut butter is cheap! Only fools beat walnut pulp.

　　 In addition to following the trend in product types, many companies also take pains in outer packaging. There is only one more word for "six pure walnuts"; "Six-year-old Walnut" and "Six-grain Walnut". Appearance design, packaging color, composition and spokesperson image are also the main contents of their imitation, which makes it difficult to distinguish. These imitative products are mainly sold to some third-and fourth-tier cities and rural markets.

Enterprises involved:

　　 Zaozhuang chukang foods co., ltd

　　 Zaozhuang jinshunyuan foods co., ltd

　　 Zaozhuang yixiangyuan food technology co., ltd

　　 Zaozhuang xuri food beverages co., ltd

　　 The third bomb: the lottery scam

　　 Buy jewelry, and you can get thousands of gifts by lottery? Really so lucky?

　　 In a jewelry craft gift shop in Chunxi Road, Chengdu, the reporter bought a souvenir and received four lottery tickets. Unexpectedly, the first prize was scraped, and the salesperson excitedly told the reporter that one or three pieces of jewelry could be taken away for free.

　　 However, when the reporter selected a gold and jade pendant with a price of 5830 yuan, the salesperson suddenly changed his mouth and asked the reporter to bear 18% of the appraisal fee.

　　 The old salesman of a specialty store revealed the mystery: in fact, the store deliberately "arranges" dozens of customers to win the first prize every day. In order to cheat customers’ trust, the salesperson’s on-the-spot performance is in place.

　　 What is even more surprising is that the wholesale price of jade ornaments with a price of several thousand to ten thousand yuan at the lottery counter is only a few tens to more than one hundred yuan in the jewelry city. Salesperson: "On these deceived customers, you can earn 30,000 yuan a day."

The fourth bomb: "black heart" water pipe

　　 High-density polyethylene double-arm corrugated pipe, commonly known as corrugated pipe, is mainly used for municipal drainage in residential areas, and is a large number of drainage pipes used in recent years. The reporter found that there is a kind of water pipe on the market, which is one-third cheaper than the product of "National Standard Edition" because cheap recycled materials are added in the production process.

　　 Some insiders said that many recycled materials are made of foreign garbage. Such pipes are prone to leakage, rupture and tube explosion when buried underground for a long time, which will directly affect public safety.

　　 In fact, some practitioners know very well that the water pipes with recycled materials can’t meet the requirements, but they still let the problem products flow to the market through hidden fraudulent means.

Enterprises involved:

　　 Xinzheng haotong pipeline industry co., ltd

　　 Jiangyin Yangtze river tubing company

　　 Luoyang jiutong pipeline industry co., ltd

　　 Jiangyin Daban plastic industry co., ltd

　　 Xinzheng kangtai tube industry company

　　 Zhongyi building materials technology co., ltd

　　 Fifth bullet: cut corners on road markings.

In some urban trunk roads, national highways and even expressways, there are markings with no obvious reflective effect. The resulting security risks.

　　 In order to save the cost of highway marking, the content of mixed glass beads in dealers is 8%, which is far lower than the national standard of 18~25%. Qualified products are used for inspection. Reflective coatings that fail to meet the standard will fail in three months.

　　 During the investigation, the reporter found that the whole process of road reflective marking from raw material production to construction marking, cutting corners and seriously failing to meet the national standards, is not an isolated phenomenon in the industry.

The companies involved are:

　　 ? Wuhan Xinjincheng chemical co., ltd

　　 ? Wuhan sifangda communications engineering co., ltd

　　 ? Guangzhou yanhua traffic facilities co., ltd

　　 At present, the Ministry of Communications has investigated and dealt with the enterprises involved, and re-examined the relevant road sections. At the same time, they have also deployed a one-year special campaign for quality control of highway markings nationwide.

　　 In addition, CCTV also announced a number of consumption warnings, including:

　　 Food is a rumor.

　　 Is food reliable? Crabs and tomatoes can’t be eaten together? Eating together equals taking arsenic? Rumor of CCTV 315 experiment: fake!

　　 Fan Zhihong, an associate professor at the College of Food Science and Nutritional Engineering of China Agricultural University, said that taking tomatoes and crabs together will not produce arsenic and will not make people poisoned, which has been proved by both simulated experiments and real human experiments.

　　 CCTV also revealed that the "China Nutrition Association", which recommended all kinds of foods, was an illegal organization. The formal and legal name of the organization should be "China Nutrition Society". A word difference, but the difference is very big.

　　 In addition, I bought a simulated cabbage in spring, I ate an injected watermelon in summer, the peanuts faded in autumn, and the staple food in winter can actually burn with additives … These are all rumors!

It is dangerous to take the elevator with hole shoes.

　　 When children wear hole shoes and take the escalator, it is easy to have potential safety hazards. Because the material of hole shoes is soft, easy to deform, with high coefficient of friction, children are lively and active, and curiosity is strong, so when you take the escalator, your feet move around, and you are prone to accidents if you are not careful. CCTV also simulated the scene of children wearing hole shoes and riding the escalator.

Don’t buy a modified battery

　　 When the battery of electric vehicle is overcharged, it is very easy to cause explosion, and then it will ignite other parts of the car body, releasing a lot of toxic smoke in the process, resulting in loss of personnel and property.

　　 In recent years, there have been many fire accidents caused by electric bicycles in China, and 80% of them are caused by overcharge of the batteries of electric bicycles.

　　 Cool cycling deposit is difficult to refund.

Some consumers in the program said: "The deposit for cool cycling can’t be refunded, which is equivalent to public robbery!"

　　 According to the survey of China Consumers Association, 34 enterprises in bike-sharing have closed down, and China Consumers Association has received many complaints from consumers that the deposit cannot be refunded. Among them, cool cycling is particularly serious, with 210,000 complaints from consumers, involving more than 1 billion yuan. China Consumers Association applied for law enforcement to file a case and the National People’s Congress to supervise the deposit collection of online platforms and legislate as soon as possible.

　　 More than 60% toothbrushes imported from Japan and South Korea do not meet the national standard.

　　 Liaoning Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau: 60% of toothbrushes imported from Japan and South Korea are unqualified.

　　 Liaoning Inspection and Quarantine Bureau conducted a sampling inspection of 20 kinds of Japanese and Korean toothbrushes sold in Dalian market. A large number of imported toothbrushes have acute angles at the top of toothbrush wires and burrs that easily damage oral soft tissues, which do not meet our national product standards for toothbrushes.

　　 The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ) conducted spot checks on toothbrushes nationwide, and interviewed the silent dealers for more than 40 times, and recruited 516,000 pieces. In 2018, imported toothbrushes were listed in the inspection and quarantine catalogue.

The sales of its own high-end drinking water are not good. In order to "save the country by the curve", Nongfu Spring purchased a water source land in New Zealand. I didn’t expect that as soon as it was excavated, it encountered widespread resistance from the public. In fact, Nongfu Spring is not the only Chinese company targeting the water source in New Zealand. With the "joint efforts" of these companies, New Zealand is in danger of being "hollowed out".

01. Thousands of people "boycotted" Nongfu Spring

On Sunday, residents of the northern New Zealand city of Tauranga held a protest against "foreign-owned enterprises" collecting and bottling water in the local area. People placed more than 2,000 waste plastic bottles on Mt Maunganui Beach and pulled out various banners. The scene was quite spectacular.

Protesters said the campaign was aimed at a series of water extraction operations in New Zealand carried out by Cresswell NZ (hereinafter referred to as: Creswell), a factory owned by the Chinese company Nongfu Spring.

Heidi Hughes, a spokesperson for the protest group, said, "We just wanted to show it to everyone, 2,000 bottles, which is the number of bottles produced per minute at Cresswell’s new Otakiri factory."

However, Cresswell, a subsidiary of Nongfu Spring, immediately denied the claim. Food Jun noticed that Michael Gleissner, managing director of Cresswell, said in an interview with foreign media that the figure was "very exaggerated because the factory does not operate 24 hours a day."

According to public information, in October 2016, Creswell, a wholly-owned New Zealand company owned by Nongfu Spring, was registered; in June last year, Creswell officially purchased the "Otakiri Springs" bottled water factory near Wakatani, North Island, New Zealand. The company’s water source is taken from deep underground, and its products include gas-containing and non-gas, and are available in glass bottles and PET packaging specifications. According to Otakiri’s official website, both gas-containing and non-gas-containing 300ml bottled drinking water are priced at 3 New Zealand dollars (equivalent to about 13 yuan).

At the same time, the New Zealand government approved Cresswell’s expansion plans. Cresswell reportedly plans to build two more bottling plants in nearby Murupara, and hopes to increase groundwater extraction from 2 million litres per year to 580 million litres per year, a 290-fold increase in capacity; to this end, the company intends to buy and lease 6.2 hectares of land in Otakiri.

According to a New Zealand media report, "China’s bottled water giant has been approved by the government to purchase the Bay of Plenty, and the annual extraction capacity exceeds 1 billion liters of drinking water, most of which will be exported to China." According to the data released by foreign media, Creswell’s production capacity will increase by an astonishing 500 times.

Cresswell’s expansion plan will also add extra freight trucks to the area, adding to the pressure on local traffic. "Cresswell’s materials indicate that the plant will have 200 trucking trips a day, which translates to one truck and trailer passing by every three minutes," said Heidi Hughes. "We’re really crowded here already."

More worrying for the local population is the "low-cost plundering" of New Zealand’s water resources by Chinese companies.

Under New Zealand law, freshwater that flows naturally is considered a public good, and "no one has ownership of the water", so water is free. Household water only needs to pay for the maintenance of water pipelines; commercial water such as agriculture and horticulture needs to apply to regional councils for resource permits and pay a nominal fee. Water is usually extracted in daily or annual rations, with flow caps attached.

It is worth noting that because New Zealand’s water is a public good, it doesn’t cost money to pump it into mineral water and export it to other countries.

The latest poll by New Zealand research agency Newshub-ReidResearch shows that 87% of New Zealanders are unhappy that exporters get water almost free and then export it abroad for a large profit.

In the face of various "doubts", the official of Nongfu Spring insists that the exploitation of local water resources is reasonable.

"There is an error in the description of the amount of extraction in the above foreign media reports. The total amount applied by Nongfu Spring does not exceed 1.10 million tons per year. The local groundwater resources are abundant, and 35% of the total amount can be used for water extraction; while the maximum amount applied by Nongfu Spring only accounts for 4.9% of this 35%, which will not affect the local groundwater. This amount of extraction is a normal and reasonable amount for a large-scale bottled water production plant, and it can completely maintain sustainable development." Zhou Li, secretary of the board of directors of Nongfu Spring joint stock company, told Food Jun.

02. High-end is not conducive to overseas "learning from experience"

In recent years, Nongfu Spring, China’s largest producer of bottled water, has targeted the New Zealand market. The New Zealand government has also "welcomed Nongfu Spring". For example, the New Zealand Trade Development Agency has provided significant assistance to China’s Nongfu Spring Company to enter the New Zealand market.

In August 2015, after receiving the invitation of the New Zealand Trade Development Bureau, the senior management of Nongfu Spring officially went to New Zealand. What attracted the attention of the outside world was that Zhong Shanxuan, the head of Nongfu Spring, also came to New Zealand, which was enough to prove the attractiveness of the New Zealand market to Nongfu Spring. The Otakiri Springs bottled water factory was favored by Nongfu Spring’s senior management at that time, and the Nongfu Spring delegation even took samples of bottled water produced locally and brought them back to China.

In April 2016, during a visit to China, New Zealand Prime Minister John Key met with 10 Chinese entrepreneurs in Shanghai, among whom Zhong was one, and the two discussed Nongfu Spring’s investment in New Zealand.

Documents released under the Official Information Act show that officials at the trade development agency are not only nominally supportive of Nongfu Spring, but also involved in many specific processes. Under the arrangement of the trade development agency, the New Zealand authorities approached Nongfu Spring and listed suitable water plants for acquisition. In total, the trade development agency has offered Nongfu Spring five potential acquisition targets. Two of them are ready-made bottled water plants, and the remaining three are also promising.

　　On February 1, Zheng Junkang, the secretary of the Liuzhou Municipal Party Committee of Guangxi, "angrily scolded" the city’s transportation bureau for not managing the taxi chaos, triggering a heated debate across the country. Ten days later, the secretary said again, asking the public security to take action to rectify the taxi, strictly investigating the monopoly and "black" situation. Half a month has passed, how about the rectification of the taxi chaos in Liuzhou City?　　

　　On February 13, people took a taxi in front of the Liuzhou bus terminal.

　　The secretary angrily scolded the transportation bureau: it is not good to manage the rental and take down the entire team

　　Previously, in Liuzhou railway station, airport and other places, taxi drivers did not set meters, sat on the ground to raise prices, refused to carry passengers, "picking and choosing", and pooling passengers to charge indiscriminately. This series of chaos has often been reported in the newspapers and has been criticized by citizens and tourists.

　　On the 1st, Zheng Junkang, secretary of the Communist Party of China’s Liuzhou Municipal Party Committee, put down his harsh words against the taxi chaos. He ordered the city’s transportation department to manage the taxi chaos within two months, otherwise it will be held accountable. He said: "The relevant departments can’t control this phenomenon, right? If you don’t manage it well, you will be dealt with by the entire team. If you don’t dare to control it, you will send someone who dares to control it."

　　After being named, the Liuzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau said it would use the most severe measures to rectify "chaos". The Liuzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau studied and formulated the "Liuzhou Taxi Car" Chaos "special project centralized rectification action plan", and carried out arrangements for taxi rectification actions. The city’s comprehensive traffic law enforcement detachment increased the intensity of road law enforcement and invested in unannounced visits to investigate and deal with taxis who were reported and complained. After filing a case, the reward was 200 yuan for **** people.

　　On the 13th, taxis in front of Liuzhou Railway Station entered the waiting point in an orderly manner to wait for passengers.

　　Unannounced visit: How is the taxi chaos rectified?

　　After a series of rectification for half a month, how is the current taxi chaos in Liuzhou? On the 13th, the reporter visited the Liuzhou Railway Station, Bus Terminal, South Bus Station, Airport and other problem-prone areas.

　　On February 13, people in Liuzhou Railway Station queued up in an orderly manner to take a taxi.

　　A warning sign was set up on the side of the road near the railway station, prohibiting taxis from parking and picking up passengers at will, and all taxis were only allowed to wait for passengers at the specified location… I saw a long queue of passengers in an orderly manner in front of the taxi waiting point at the railway station, and the staff of the Comprehensive Traffic Law Enforcement Detachment commanded here to help passengers stop cars and supervise taxis to regulate passengers. There were also taxi reporting and complaint phone warning signs on the scene, and it was difficult to see traces of "starting prices on the ground", "refusing to load" and "pooling".

　　On February 13, in front of the railway station in Liuzhou City, a prompt was set up to prohibit cruise taxis from picking up and dropping off passengers.

　　That night, when a passenger asked to put his luggage in a seat after taking a taxi, the taxi driver refused. At the scene, the staff of the Liuzhou Traffic Comprehensive Law Enforcement Detachment stepped forward to coordinate. The staff member said: "From 7:00 to 24:00 every day, there are additional law enforcement officers on duty to strengthen the management of taxi operation order."

　　At the South Bus Station, many passengers were able to reach taxis on the road in front of the station, and some taxi drivers got off to help passengers carry their luggage and place it in the trunk.

　　There are complaint telephone warning signs set up in the taxi and other passenger areas of Liuzhou Railway Station.

　　Although taxi chaos has been regulated to a certain extent, there are still "picking passengers" and "refusing to take them" in some areas. At the exit of the Liuzhou bus terminal, several taxis were waiting for passengers in the taxi passenger waiting area. At this time, Ms. Zeng came to take a taxi with a 26-inch suitcase and several boxes of apples, but was rejected. Ms. Zeng said that she was going to Liunan, but was rejected by a driver on the grounds that the road was a one-way street. Unfortunately, because Ms. Zeng had too much luggage, she could not carry things across the road to take a taxi by herself, so she had to wait in place for her family to pick her up.

　　Shortly after, another group of two adults and three children were about to take a taxi here, but the driver forcibly carpooled and asked them to wait for other passengers to leave. The passenger believed that there were already five people in the group who were unwilling to carpool and left to find a car.

　　In addition to the designated area, across the road from the bus terminal, the reporter observed that there were also many passengers waiting for a taxi, and most of the taxis were metered. The reporter randomly took a taxi to a destination one kilometer away. The driver did not think the distance was too close or shared a car, but went directly by metered.

　　Taxi passenger waiting area in front of Liuzhou Bus Terminal on February 13.

　　Strictly investigate monopolies and "black" situations

　　Previously, many people responded that taxis at Liuzhou Airport never used a meter, and the fare was one price. And taxis reported that Liuzhou Airport only allowed a small number of taxis who paid the fare to pick up passengers in the designated area in front of the terminal building, resulting in this situation. To this end, the Liuzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission Discipline Inspection Team in the city and the Municipal Price Bureau launched an investigation and handling. After investigation, Liuzhou Airport, on the grounds of anti-terrorism, controlled a certain number of taxis to pick up passengers in the front area of the terminal building, charging 200 yuan per month. Only 50 taxis registered at Liuzhou Airport were allowed to undertake passenger transportation business at the airport, and other taxis could not enter the front area of the terminal to wait for passengers.

　　The practice of Liuzhou Airport restricts and excludes competition, resulting in taxis that have not been registered at Liuzhou Airport carrying passengers from the urban area to the airport after unloading passengers cannot enter the terminal to carry passengers. Unregistered taxis have the phenomenon of emptying the return journey. In order to make up for the loss caused by the return journey, taxi drivers charge passengers in the direction of the airport without meters.

　　On February 3, Liuzhou Price Bureau issued a "Notice of Order to Correct" to Liuzhou Airport, requiring Liuzhou Airport to correct immediately from the date of receipt of the notice. On February 4, Liuzhou Airport cancelled airport taxi parking fees and cancelled airport taxi filing limits.

　　At the same time, the Liuzhou Public Security Bureau has launched a month-long centralized rectification operation to comprehensively strengthen the rectification of taxi chaos and vigorously promote the rectification of five cars. If the evil forces involving taxis and "five cars" are found in the rectification operation, the public security organs will implement "zero tolerance" to crack down on them.

　　On February 13, staff of Liuzhou Transportation Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Team guided passengers to take a taxi in front of the railway station.

　　Can it be controlled or not?

　　At present, there are 11 cruise taxi enterprises in Liuzhou, and the number of cruise taxis is 2,398. Taxi refusal, arbitrary charging, carpooling and other chaos are management problems derived from the development of the taxi industry, and have always been the key rectification goals of taxi industry management departments across the country.

　　Regarding the chaos of taxis in Liuzhou City, the Liuzhou Municipal Transportation Administration responded: "There is no phenomenon that I dare not control, and there is no situation that I cannot control."

　　Hong Weilin, director of Liuzhou Road Transport Management Office, introduced that in recent years, the impact of online car-hailing and the increase in private car ownership have led to a sharp drop in the income of cruise taxi drivers, and some drivers expect to increase their income through carpooling and bargaining. At the same time, the taxi market is sluggish, the quality of the workforce is reduced, the main responsibility of the operator, and the weakening of administrative supervision have all led to taxi chaos.

　　After half a month of rectification, as of now, the Liuzhou Traffic Comprehensive Law Enforcement Detachment has carried out rectification and investigation of a total of 854 cruising taxis, accepted a total of 76 complaints, and verified that 1 complaint with prizes has been honored.

　　According to the rectification plan, anyone who refuses to intercept, negotiate, forcibly splice passengers, take a detour, or dump passengers halfway will be fined 2,000 yuan. Among them, a taxi with a license plate of Gui BT3935 from the car rental branch of Liuzhou Second Transportation Liability Co., Ltd. committed crimes against the wind within 3 days, and there were 2 illegal acts, and two fines of 1,000 yuan and 2,000 yuan were issued. A taxi with a license plate of Gui BT9762 from Liuzhou Tongbang Automobile Transportation Co., Ltd. has been temporarily detained for bargaining charges without dealing with the previous illegal act.

　　On February 13, people took a taxi at Liuzhou South Bus Station, and the driver got off to help carry luggage.

　　Rectification is not a gust of wind

　　Nowadays, the informatization construction of the taxi industry in Liuzhou has not kept up with the development of the times, and the on-board facilities have been seriously implemented. Some management systems in the industry have caused daily management to be difficult to be in place, and road law enforcement inspections alone cannot achieve overdue results. It is necessary to improve the long-term management mechanism and informatization construction as soon as possible.

　　Chen Jian, deputy director of the Liuzhou Transportation Bureau, said that in addition to increasing inspections and severe penalties for the chaos in the taxi industry, the city is planning to introduce some long-term management measures. These include the normalization of law enforcement supervision, the systematization of credit assessment, the intelligence of daily supervision, the popularization of civilization creation, the institutionalization of linkage management, and the legalization of operation management.

　　Through the development of a taxi driver registration system, unregistered taxi drivers will not be able to work in the future. At the same time, we will strengthen the assessment and management of taxi companies and drivers. Combined with administrative penalties and integrity assessments, we will study the blacklist mechanism. If it is serious, the driver’s qualification certificate will be cancelled, and other companies will not be allowed to hire again. In addition, we will use big data to improve on-board facilities and equipment, conduct scientific management, and use scientific and technological means to strengthen the supervision of drivers.

Due to the fable of the movie "A Good Show" about the company’s employees who are shipwrecked on a team-building trip, forced to live together after being stranded on a desert island, and face a series of "human nature" problems, Ah Xin used this to playfully ask Huang Bo: "If Brother Bo, you want to take one person from Mayday to a desert island, who would you choose?" Huang Bo laughed after listening to the voices of the audience at the scene and said that he would take all five people away, and the best thing is that the 100,000 fans of the Bird’s Nest can also come together.

　　Cailian | New Consumer Daily March 16th (edited by Liang Youyun), around the annual "315 Consumer Rights Day", food safety has once again become a hot spot affecting people’s hearts.

　　Compared with traditional restaurants, new brands of tea and chain coffee have sprung up in recent years, and a cup of milk tea and coffee every day has become the daily life of many young urban white-collar workers. Marketing activities and ridicule such as "the first cup of milk tea in autumn" and "coffee for life" have influenced many consumers’ choices.

　　However, as a ready-made beverage, it is very easy to cause food safety problems in case of insufficient service training, irregular production process, inadequate hygiene and safety in stores, and disorderly supervision of franchise stores.

　　The New Consumer Daily collected and sorted out some "coffee and milk tea troubles" that have been exposed by relevant departments and hotly debated by netizens since 2022.

　　Drinking foreign bodies became the most common complaint.

　　"Drinking bugs in XXX", "Eating stones in XX" and "Finding hair in the package" have become the most frequently complained topics of netizens.

　　Black cat complaints search "foreign body" keywords, showing that the number of complaints as many as 33 thousand. Among them, brands such as Mi Xue Bing Cheng, Naixue Tea, Youlemei, Gu Ming Tea and Auntie in Shanghai have all received complaints from consumers about eating foreign objects in the past month.

　　Judging from the frequency of appearance, Mi Xue Ice City has become a "frequent visitor" on the list. Eating stones, finding hair in unopened drinks, black unidentified objects and sharp plastic thorns have all become complaints. On the platform, there are 4,820 complaints about Mi Xue Ice City, which is much higher than 1,431 complaints from aunts in Shanghai, 1,361 complaints about Naixue’s tea, 965 complaints about hi tea and 675 complaints about ancient tea.

　　On the whole, although brands such as Naixue Tea and Xicha, which are mainly self-operated stores, also have food hygiene complaints, from the data point of view, brand stores which are mainly franchised are more likely to be complained about foreign objects. With the more stores nationwide, there is a risk that the management control of the parent company will decline, and complaints will increase accordingly.

　　Brands should actively do a good job of self-inspection, eliminate potential safety hazards caused by irregular operation, and actively cooperate with relevant departments to check and rectify in time when signs are found. In this way, we can continue to retain consumers and enhance brand influence.

　　However, it must be pointed out that in many food safety complaints, it is true that some people maliciously add foreign objects to drinks to blackmail brands in order to obtain compensation.

　　Store health problems have become the focus of investigation.

　　According to the data from the General Administration of Market Supervision, there is a positive correlation between the number of complaints about consumption and the level of consumption activity. While the brand is actively doing business, it should also focus on health issues.

　　Store hygiene has always been the "hardest hit" in the catering industry. Unscrupulous merchants often use the kitchen or under the counter that consumers can’t see to hide their real environmental hygiene, food shelf life and irregular production. Milk tea, coffee and other products that need to add fresh fruit and fresh milk are also frequently notified and punished.

　　In 2021, Yihetang Store was exposed that the clerk did not apply for a health certificate, and many cockroaches were found in the food processing area. In mid-2022, another investigator found that Yihetang milk tea had food safety hazards such as the continued use of expired ingredients and the peeling of fruits by shop assistants. At the beginning of 2023, another customer reported through video that he had drunk foreign substances in Yihetang milk tea, which led customers to seek medical treatment for acute gastroenteritis.

　　In 2022, Starbucks, a well-known chain coffee brand, was also fined 10,000 yuan for expired food and altered shelf life.

　　On the eve of "315", according to WeChat official account of Beijing Consumers Association, Beijing Hemao Catering Co., Ltd. (signboard: Mi Xue Bing Cheng) was given an administrative warning and ordered to suspend business for rectification because it dismantled the disinfection pool of tools and appliances without authorization. This is the third time that the brand has received a warning and punishment from Beijing State Administration for Market Regulation in the past two years.

　　The use of expired raw materials, problem fruits, etc. seems to be a chronic disease in the industry, and it is often difficult for innocent consumers to prove that they are lucky enough not to eat anything different. Only when the parent company of the brand establishes an efficient management system and the market supervision and management department increases the density of attention and inspection can the irregular store operation be effectively deterred.

　　Food additives have sparked heated discussions.

　　The short video blogger’s phrase "technology and hard work" touched the nerves of many consumers. At present, many people often focus on the preservatives and flavors of bottled drinks, but the freshly made tea and coffee that can’t see the ingredient list should also be paid attention to.

　　As China’s food safety law only stipulates that there should be a label on the packaging in prepackaged foods, and the label must indicate the ingredients or ingredient list. However, in the face of the rapid rise of the labels and ingredients of ready-made drinks such as milk tea and coffee, there is no explicit requirement for labeling, and it is entirely up to the self-discipline of merchants.

　　Do you use real milk? Is it boiled with real tea? What is "0 candy"? What is the caffeine and sugar content of each drink? These problems often appear in the process of customer consumption.

　　In order to maintain the taste and reduce the production cost, beverages often use creamer, non-dairy creamer and other raw materials. Is it reasonable to add them? Is it harmful to human health? Become the hot topic of netizens.

　　At present, the deputies of Sichuan Provincial People’s Congress have proposed to amend and improve the Food Safety Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) and increase the mandatory requirement of labeling the drinks that are now made and sold. At the same time, referring to the national food safety standards "General Rules for Labeling in prepackaged foods" and "General Rules for Nutrition Labeling in prepackaged foods", the labels of the drinks that are now made and sold should indicate the specific contents of energy, core nutrients and other nutrients such as sugar and vitamins and their percentage in nutrient reference values (NRV).

　　Drinks are also "short of two pounds"?

　　In addition to food safety, the "shrinking" of beverages has also become a topic of concern to netizens recently.

　　On the eve of 315, Rui Xing and Modern China Tea Shop were spat in succession. Among them, Luckin Coffee has only half a cup left in the cup after ice removal; In Modern China Tea Shop, after the milk foam melts, there are only two-thirds of the drinks left in the cup. In this regard, the response of the above two brands is similar, that is, the drinks in the store are made according to the standard process, and the reduction of drinks is normal.

　　The New Consumer Daily observed that in addition to the above two brands, many milk tea brands have noted in the delivery that there is a lack of ice or some ingredients after removal.

　　According to people in the industry, the way to remove ice is to shake the ice cubes with a full cup of beverage, and then filter the ice cubes after the beverage cools down, so there will be some defects in the final product. Regarding the problem that there is no shortage of drinks, the person said that in order to ensure a unified taste, the amount of ice is different, and the proportion of raw materials for drinks will be different. Previously, shop assistants would make their own supplements, but in recent years, due to the increasingly strict in-store monitoring, shop assistants must make them according to the process, and dissatisfaction with cups has become the norm.

　　Some lawyers have warned that this behavior may constitute fraud. Although there is no subjective malice and concealment of the brand, a big difference can still constitute the essence of short weight. Consumers can complain and report to 12315, or file a lawsuit. After the fraud is determined, they can claim triple compensation, starting from 500 yuan.

When it comes to compact SUVs, you can’t avoid Geely Xing Yue L, which is a model that has won great attention from the market with its all-round strength.

The exterior design of Xingyue L is undoubtedly one of its highlights. The front face adopts the latest "Cosmic Echo" design language of Geely family, with LED matrix headlights, showing a strong sense of technology and fashion. The body lines are smooth and full of tension, which is not only beautiful and elegant, but also optimized in aerodynamics, reducing wind resistance and improving fuel economy. As for the interior, the most eye-catching thing is the triple screen design that almost crosses the entire center console. It is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, which not only has a shocking visual effect, but also leads the same level in operating fluency and intelligent interconnection experience, satisfying the dual pursuit of modern consumers for science and technology and practicality.

Space is one of the important indicators to measure the practicality of SUV, and Xingyue L has given a satisfactory answer in this respect. The wheelbase reaches an astonishing 2845mm, far exceeding that of the same class, providing ample legroom for both front and rear passengers. The seat is wrapped in high-grade materials, which has reached the luxury car level in terms of support and comfort, and can keep the best condition during long-distance travel. In addition, the flexible trunk space can easily meet the various loading needs of family travel.

In terms of power, Xingyue L is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, providing two versions of high and low power, matching with 7-speed wet dual clutch or 8AT gearbox, and the power output is smooth and strong. In the actual driving process, whether it’s a city shuttle or a high-speed cruise, you can feel a steady stream of power reserves. The adjustment of suspension system is biased towards comfort, while retaining a certain sense of road feedback, which can maintain a good body posture even in the face of complex road conditions and give drivers enough confidence.

For consumers who pursue high-quality car life, the Star Yue L is undoubtedly the preferred model worthy of consideration.
