Once the recruitment treatment and model of boiling travel were launched, it aroused heated discussions in the industry and public opinion.

The focus of everyone's discussion finally focused on Chen Li's question: Can Boiling Travel make money?
After all, no one would believe that the richest man in Huaguo who "had so much money in the country, but used it to save the real estate market in Citigroup" was so kind.

Many people are calculating this account, even the employees within the Boiling Group are poking with calculators, but there are different opinions. Before the official operation of Boiling Travel, no one can understand this account.

In fact, this account is easy to calculate. The reason why everyone can't understand it is mainly because there is a basic function variable that cannot be determined, so the result cannot be confirmed.

This function variable is the hourly salary of the online car-hailing driver, that is, the average turnover or gross income per hour.

After all, no one has ever run online car-hailing before, not even in this industry. Even the taxi drivers who toured did not only run online car-hailing for a period of time. Even if individual drivers did so, it was still mixed with Interference variables such as customers, detours, and bargaining cannot give a reasonable median.

On the other hand, it is still unknown how much customer demand in the market will be. We cannot take into account the recent burning of money for subsidies and the booming market. It's still so hot, it's all unknown.

But are these problems considered problems for a time traveler?
Facts from previous lives have proved that the online car-hailing market is rich and promising, and there is indeed a large market demand.

Secondly, Fang Jie used to run online car-hailing for a period of time in his previous life, so he knows exactly how much the average turnover is.

In the previous life, online car-hailing was first launched in 2014, but the platform was not officially launched until around May 2015.

When he first went online, he ran for a whole month, and then occasionally ran during holidays, especially during the Chinese New Year. Running was the most enjoyable, but during the Chinese New Year in 2020, not only was he not happy, but he was also cheated...

At that time, running online car-hailing was purely for fun, but it turned out to be not very fun.

For example, in the process of picking up passengers one day, I was caught by the navigation pit on the same odd and even number restricted road section, ran back and forth 4 times, that is, 24 violations, 1600 points and [-] yuan were lost, and there was no other line after that accidents, breaking into one-way streets, and minor accidents.

In short, it doesn’t matter if these are not mentioned, at least one thing is proved: private car owners are really not professional enough, and if they want to engage in shared services, they have to pay a wave of tuition fees to the traffic police department first.

As for the service attitude and so on... Private car owners with cars have a natural sense of looking down on passengers who don’t have a car, so you let us rich people be drivers for these poor passengers. If you want to be a grandson, are you kidding me?
Of course, these are not the main point, the main point is: based on the personal experience of the previous life, exclude all kinds of reward tasks, subsidies, regardless of platform commissions, after a day of online car-hailing, count the time when you can’t receive a single-air wait, The average turnover income per hour is around 50-60 yuan!
Of course, the economic income level and consumption level of each place are different, and the turnover is also different in different time periods. Later, after the online car-hailing industry became seriously involved, this standard continued to decrease, but if you spend all day on the airport train Stations, or night shift drivers, the turnover is generally higher than 50 yuan/hour.

But no matter what, at least in Jiangcheng, for a long period of time, it is basically such an average during the day and night, which has universality and reference value.

With this general variable, it is easy to draw conclusions by estimating whether the business is profitable and how much the driver actually earns.

One car, one shift, 12 hours, the theoretical average turnover is 600 yuan, of which 8 hours are pure travel, 4 hours are 20%, so the company's gross profit is 440 yuan, and the driver's commission income is 160 yuan.

那么一个月只按4个标准星期计算，即20个工作日+8个双休日计算的话，公司毛利润是8800元+960元=9760元，司机收入提成是3200元+3840元=7040元。

Let's make a round number, 1 for the company and 7000 for the driver.

Of the company’s 1 yuan, 3000 yuan is given to the driver as a guaranteed salary, so there is still 7000 yuan left.

The company also has to bear five insurances and one housing fund. According to national standards, all of them add up to about 40% of the basic salary, and then subtract 1200, leaving 5800.

Subtract another 1000, as the purchase fee, insurance fee, maintenance fee, etc. for the boiling car, leaving 4800.

A class is 300 kilometers, 9000 kilometers a month, and the mileage depreciation fee is about 2200, so another 2200 is deducted for the boiling car, and the remaining 2600 is basically pure profit.

Of course, this 2600 also includes the expenses of management staff salaries, operating expenses, venue fees and so on.

But you must know that this is only the profit of one car and one shift. If there are 100 million cars and 200 million shifts going back and forth, this cost can be ignored evenly.

The big deal is to subtract 100 and make up a whole number, 2500, okay?

So after this calculation, Boiling Travel is definitely profitable, and it is a lot of money. If 100 million cars are running on the road, with two shifts, the profit before tax is 50 billion a month!
Don't think too much, we still count as 28 days this month!

The driver's income is 3000 basic salary + 7040 overtime commission, 1 yuan!
Of course, the fuel costs have to be deducted, which is paid by the driver himself. Calculated at 0.5 yuan/km, a shift is about 300 kilometers, and the monthly refueling cost is about 4500. Therefore, the actual net income of the driver is about 5500 yuan!
Then, considering that it is inevitable that there will be accidental violations, usually it will be 500 to the top in a month, unless it is a fool who does not repent and drive indiscriminately, then this kind of thing is the driver's own problem, and the boiling travel will not allow this. of dangerous drivers are permanently in the workforce.

So Boiling Travel's "monthly salary of 5000" in Jiangcheng is really not a fool. If you count conservatively, there are so many. This is the case in Jiangcheng, and there must be more in other first-tier cities.

Once the new energy vehicles come out in the future, the driver's income will be higher, because the fuel cost will be reduced to 1200-1500 yuan, calculated as the highest 1500, then the driver's net income will reach 8500 yuan!
If there are not so many, Boiling Travel can also take part of its 50 billion/month net profit, and engage in some task reward activities to regulate and increase everyone's income.

These preferential policies are not only aimed at drivers, but can also be distributed to passengers, such as coupons, discount coupons and so on.

As a third party, Boiling Auto also makes money.

One car, two shifts a day, add up a conservative point of 500 kilometers, it will be more than 1 kilometers in one year, and the annual mileage fee will be 18+, plus the rental fee that does not include insurance, a total of 45000 About 5 yuan is accounted for, and 1 vehicles are produced in one year, which is 60 billion accounted for!
This income can basically fill in the holes in the first year of car manufacturing, and the loss will not be much, and the next two years will be pure profits!
Although this account is only a rough estimate, and there will be many details, it is based on a basis. Generally speaking, it is possible to be more or less, but one thing is certain Of - definitely not a loss!
It is impossible to lose money, but we should see whether it is a big profit or a blood profit!
This is Fang Jie's confidence to engage in the contract system!
Then the online car-hailing in the previous life, whether it made money or not, and how much it made, can actually be roughly calculated.

Of course, don’t talk about coupons, that’s boring. Boiling Travel can also be said to distribute 100 billion coupons every month, and then lose 50 billion, a huge loss of 1 billion a year, scaring you to death!
In fact, there is no need to be so exaggerated, otherwise no one will believe it, as long as the actual income is calculated, and then the drivers and passengers will be given out correspondingly more coupons every now and then. Make money", tax avoidance confidently!
So, who wouldn't talk nonsense?right?

In short, no nonsense, amidst the hustle and bustle, one month later, Boiling Travel announced to the outside world-the online car-hailing service was officially launched, and the first batch of online car-hailing cars has been launched in the first- and second-tier cities across the country!

Of course, in such a short period of time, it is impossible to have all the drivers and vehicles in place. At present, each first- and second-tier city has launched 1000-2000 online car-hailing vehicles, and a total of less than 2 online car-hailing vehicles have been launched nationwide. .

This is the result of the surprise training to get the license. Some drivers who have a driver's license and a certain driving experience before, such as Dai Chengchi, after a short-term training, passed the green channel opened by the relevant department, organized a unified examination, and quickly obtained a taxi driver. After obtaining the qualification certificate, he can drive on the road for service.

However, these drivers are only on duty in order to cooperate with the company's development strategy. In the future, the second and third rounds of training will be carried out to ensure that the professional service quality that satisfies passengers can be further achieved.

If you want to go on the road in the previous life, you have to have three certificates, namely: the online car-hailing business license for professional companies, the vehicle operation license for professional taxis, and the online car-hailing driver's license for professional drivers. Only when all three certificates are complete can they be legal. It was on the road in compliance with the regulations, but for a long time, including before Fang Jie was reborn, he didn't actually do it well.

This also gave those taxi drivers and black car drivers whose interests were seriously violated in the previous life, a reason to slander online car-hailing with a rhythm on the Internet. Illegal and non-compliant, blacker than a black car, and too dangerous, hurry up and ban it!

Ha ha……

Banning online car-hailing, forcing ordinary people to continue to take your car, and then being detoured, refused, bargained, and shared by you?
To put it another way, if we really find out the relevant cases or newspaper news in the past 30 years and make statistics, everyone will find that taxis are much more dangerous than online car-hailing. It was hundreds of times more than car-hailing, and the situation gradually changed after online car-hailing came out!

However, the reason they gave was correct, so in this life, Fang Jie decided not to give them such an excuse.

After a lot of hard work, the nationwide online car-hailing business license of Boiling Travel has been obtained two months ago. When the vehicle operating certificate was handed over to Boiling Travel when the car left the venue, the vehicle operating certificate was uniformly applied for by the driver. No online car-hailing driver's license, but a taxi driver's license directly.

Today's online car-hailing drivers are professional taxi drivers. Of course, they have a taxi driver's license. There is no need to distinguish, and there is nothing wrong with it!
Everything is legal and compliant!
This is the advantage of the contract system. The driver is a full-time employee of the company. Whatever the company requires, the driver must follow the requirements, otherwise he will be laid off. Unlike the previous life, the online car-hailing driver can do his own thing.

In the previous life, there were many black sheep among online car-hailing drivers. Such black sheep include passengers, taxi drivers, platforms, and all aspects. Some people deliberately do not regulate.

In this life, there are not so many loopholes to take advantage of, so let me behave in a proper manner. Anyway, Fang Jie doesn’t rely on this to make money. This is called being strong without desires!

However, Fang Jie's side is stubborn, and the domestic capital will not miss such an opportunity to make money, watching the richest man make a fortune alone there.

It is true that domestic capital is still not clear about this account for the time being. They don’t know whether the travel industry is making money or whether it is making a lot of money, but they can figure out one account: as long as they don’t engage in the contract system and only take a commission like in the previous life, I am not responsible for the rest, that is, the drought and flood guarantee, and there is almost no risk!
In particular, the richest man has issued so many discount coupons, and related technologies have also been developed. The concept of online car-hailing and the market have been tested. In jargon, the outlets in the next 1 or 2 years have been opened, and pigs can use it. Trees, combined with the drought-flood guaranteed harvest system, I am not afraid that I will not be able to make money!
Therefore, when Boiling Travel just announced its official operation, some domestic car companies and capitals immediately moved after hearing the news, and then announced that they are preparing to enter the online car-hailing industry. The high-end "sharing economy" concept allows private car owners to participate and provide convenient services for the general public.

Well... what should come will always come.

What can Fang Jie say?

Stand up against it?Tell the gang it's wrong?Will it bring many hidden dangers?
No, no, no need, he doesn't want to offend the majority of private car owners.

There are already many groups scolding him. If there are a large number of more people, and the middle class with cars collectively scold him for being rich and unkind, it will not be worth it.

Of course, the deeper reason is that the domestic economy is overheated, the stock market has collapsed, and the money in the hands of the capital has no idea where to invest it, so they have to follow the richest man to drink soup. He can't stop this at all.

Throughout 2007, there was a key word called "excess liquidity". The central bank raised the deposit reserve ratio 10 times, raised interest rates 5 times, and raised stamp duty substantially.
Ordinary people may not pay attention to these major national events, but the prices of pork, cooking oil, and vegetables have almost doubled in one year. They have the most experience in this regard, and it is the first time that it has been universally popular An economic term: CPI.

The so-called not being in the position and not looking for the government is something that the country should worry about, so Fang Jie didn't say anything and didn't take any countermeasures.

Anyway, this life is different from the previous life. Boiling Travel has made a sample before and has become the industry benchmark. Complete three certificates have become the minimum industry threshold. Even if these people dare to mess around, it won’t last long. They will be cleaned up sooner or later. Just sit on the sidelines .

Then time entered October, and a series of important news swiped the entire network.

First of all, the three major operators Huaguo Telecom, China Mobile, and China Unicom jointly announced that starting from January 1 next year, one-way charging will be implemented for mobile phones!
Part of this is due to the Boiling Group. Although one-way charging was implemented at about the same time in the previous life, in this life, not only one-way charging was implemented, but even domestic roaming fees were cancelled.

After all, the revenue of the three telecommunications group companies is much higher than in the previous life. A series of domestic smart phones represented by Huawei mobile phones are selling well. They have successfully squeezed the market share of foreign Saipan mobile phones to single digits within 2 or 3 years. Under the voice of the public, the relevant charging standards have been greatly adjusted.

Once the one-way charge is implemented on mobile phones and the roaming fee is cancelled, more people will buy smart phones. Furthermore, the online car-hailing industry will also usher in a better market prospect, and various mobile payment industries will also usher in the wind.

Secondly, starting from 2008, some adjustments will be made to national statutory holidays, some long holidays, such as the May Day Golden Week, will be canceled, and Chinese traditional festivals such as Tomb-sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival will be listed as national statutory holidays.

Before that, everyone almost regarded the holidays of foreigners as their own. For example, Valentine’s Day and Christmas are not mentioned, such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, April Fool’s Day, 520, May [-]st Labor Day, March [-]th Women’s Day , and even New Year's Day are actually festivals passed down from the West. As a result, they were hyped up by capital and became a festival for cutting leeks. On the contrary, traditional Chinese festivals were not taken seriously and were marginalized.

This will not work!

Now that Huaguo is rich, the foreign exchange reserves are the largest in the world, and the level of science and technology is constantly catching up with Western countries. This cultural confidence, national self-confidence, and spiritual civilization construction must also be brought up!

Celebrating traditional festivals in your own home is the first step to keep the foundation of Chinese culture!
When it comes to the development of science and technology, the third major news is: Chang'e flies to the moon!
Huaguo's first lunar exploration satellite "Chang'e-[-]" was launched and sent back the first lunar map more than a month later, marking the complete success of Huaguo's first lunar exploration project!

The millennium dream of the Chinese nation to fly to the moon has finally become a reality!
The success of the first lunar exploration project is the third milestone in the development of China's aerospace industry after the success of artificial earth satellites and manned spaceflight. Enter the ranks of countries with deep space exploration capabilities in the world!
Awesome, my country!

This incident also caused the prices in Arkworld to rise again, because everyone suddenly realized that the "Father of Ark" might rely on Huaguo's aerospace technology to throw servers into space, not to mention aimlessly Floating, at least it is no problem to get a "geosynchronous orbit server satellite", this is no longer a fantasy!

Then there is a big news in the game circle: In the international server "EVE", Chinese players fought with foreigners.

At this moment, Fang Jie happened to be living in Shanghai for a while, so he approached his girlfriend Li Qing to get in touch.

In the end, Li Qing forced her to rewatch this year's phenomenal hit drama "Soldier Assault" from beginning to end every night.

It's not because Li Qing likes this pure man drama, but because Boiling Entertainment has invested in this drama. Many of the actors in it are contracted artists of Boiling Entertainment, so Fang Jie has to ask Fang Jie to review and comment. score.

Boiling Entertainment not only dabbled in various variety shows this year, but also invested in a military movie "Assembly" which will be released soon.

How should I put this... Can I say that I have brushed it in my previous life?
Fang Jie wanted to cry, but felt extremely depressed.

What's more depressing is that the game is not worry-free.

"Ark" is of course in a good situation, but "EVE" has been playing intermittently. It seems that players from all over the world have made an appointment. This year, they have been constantly harassing the Chinese players who occupy a star field in the northeast corner of the star map. Legion forces, the two sides have had hundreds of small-scale conflicts.

Now, the two sides have fought a real battle, and even in the high-security area where PK is not easy, the two sides are fighting to the death.

"I just don't understand, why do foreigners always target us? We didn't mess with them, it's inexplicable!"

Inside the Hua Guo Legion, people often ask such questions, and everyone is really at a loss.

Of course Fang Jie knew the deep-seated reasons for this, but it was useless to talk too much. What happened in the game should be solved in the game, just do it!
At this time, the Chinese player legion of the international server "EVE", after 2 or 3 years of development, not counting miners, has grown to more than 800 people, which can be regarded as a large-scale legion force in the game. , almost in the 3-4 position.

The main reason is that the game is too hard-core and requires too much English proficiency, which limits the development of the Chinese player army. Otherwise, with the spirit of the Chinese people, they will definitely get the first place, which is beyond doubt.

In addition, the Icelandic game company has continuously updated the game version in the past few years, and has further increased the weight ratio of the high-level mines in the dangerous area in the production system by means of "things in the game, solved in the game", forcing the previous mindless mining The Chinese miners and players gradually became unable to mix.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the hostility of foreign players to Chinese players.

Although the Chinese player legion has established its own legion station and controlled a large sphere of influence, the game level of the legion members is not low, and the Chinese miner players have a certain degree of security.

However, the saying that there are only people with a heart in the world is also applicable to foreigners.

The foreigners, who were not officially members of the Chinese Legion, specialized in guerrilla warfare. They often raided the asteroid mine belts within the sphere of influence of the Chinese Legion, caught the Chinese miners and beat them wildly, and then shot them to change places and move quickly.

Don't think that foreigners are all idiots, at least the foreign players who like to play "EVE" are a group of quick-witted guys. They are even interested in reading "Tao Te Ching" and "Lao Tzu", which most Chinese people hardly read, let alone "Sun Tzu's Art of War" and Taizu's Art of War.

The Chinese player legion is a bit exhausted. There are fewer legion members sent to protect the miners, and they can't handle it. They might be wiped out together. If there are too many, it's not worthwhile, and the labor cost is too high.

The key question is what is it: the time difference between the Huaguo region and the time difference between Europe and the United States is not on the same channel!

In the middle of the night in Huaguo, everyone is still asleep, and it is broad daylight in Europe and America, and it is the time when European and American players are most active, most excited, most energetic, and most idle.

What do you do when you are full and have nothing to do?
PK ah!
PK who?

We are all relatives, so we can't save face, it's not easy!
By the way, fuck Asians!
It's late at night over there, and most of the people have rested. We have a large number of people now, so it's easy to bully them!
However, after being attacked for no reason, the vigilant Bangzi and the island players immediately came out to surrender and shouted: Boss, don't mess with us, we are a family!We are messing with you!You go to engage in the Chinese player legion, they are stupid and have a lot of money!
European and American players heard it, and said in their hearts: You and the ghost are a family!But since you have surrendered, then trouble the Huaguo players!
As for the Huaguo Player Corps, it is said that there are more than 800 core members, but except for overseas students, none of them are online yet.

And don't forget, "EVE" is a pension game. The leader has been hanging in the game for several years. Except for the first 2 or 3 months, he didn't show up a few times in total. Among the more than 800 people, many of them are I only come up every few days to check it out. Even in broad daylight, it would be nice to be able to keep an average of more than 300 people online!

So over time, bullying Huaguo players has become a routine operation for European and American players to have fun during the day.

Of course, the Chinese player legion is not a soft persimmon. They were bullied by European and American players all night, and they came out during the day to find a place to take revenge.

But European and American players are not the only ones in the game. Players from other countries and time zones are also online. For example, Bangzi and island country players are at odds with Chinese players. Therefore, before Chinese players find European and American players, the Asian player army will fight first. up.

Of course, the reason why Bangzi and island players dare to confront Chinese players is because there are European and American players behind them, and secondly, they want to hand in their votes. Otherwise, the European and American players will definitely kill the weak ones all night long.

After all, relatively speaking, they are easier to bully. In the eyes of European and American players, there is actually no difference between them and Chinese players. In other words, European and American players can't distinguish people from these three Asian countries at all, and they don't care about these things.

So the stick players and ghost players are actually just for survival, and when the Chinese players don't get together, they are evenly matched with the stick and island players, and they don't get much bargain.

As for finding a place for European and American player legions, that's not to mention, this also fueled the arrogance of European and American players, thinking that Chinese players are just afraid of them.

But, if this person drifts away, accidents are easy to happen.
