In the autumn of 1347, the twilight of Europe shone on the sparkling sea, and merchant ships slowly sailed into the port of Messina in Sicily, Italy. These ships from Genoa not only brought precious goods from the East, but also mysterious exotic customs and wealth, which disturbed the tranquility of Europe in the Middle Ages under the impetus of sea breeze. People are busy exchanging goods in the port, enjoying the prosperity and joy brought by business, but no one expected that the shadow of death had quietly come.

The source of the plague is those rats in groups in the cabin. They carry the deadly Yersinia pestis and quietly penetrate into every corner of the port. All these disasters originated from the battlefield in Mongolia. At that time, when the Mongolian army besieged Kafa City, it threw the infected bodies into the city and infected the residents in the city. With the footsteps of businessmen and rats, the plague spread from the Middle East to Europe.

The port of Messina became the first battlefield of the Black Death. With the continuous navigation of merchant ships, the plague spread like wildfire and swept across Italy. It mercilessly took countless lives, turned the vibrant and lively city into a dead ruin, and the laughter of the past was replaced by the silence of death.

Boccaccio, a great literary master at that time, vividly described the horror brought by this disaster in decameron. On the street, people suddenly fell down, and the bodies at home rotted, giving off a stench, until the neighbors noticed that death was coming quietly. Piles of bodies were transported to the church, and the cemetery could no longer accommodate them. The citizens had to dig huge potholes outside the city and bury the bodies in batches.

Under the shadow of this death, people’s hearts are full of helplessness and fear. Many people tried to escape from this disaster, eager to escape the shadow of death. However, the flight of most people only made the spread of the plague more rapid. The Catholic Church sternly appealed to believers not to escape, but in endless despair, people began to look for various ways to survive.

A heretical belief called "whipping school" came into being at this time. Believers beat themselves with whips, trying to redeem their sins in this extreme way and praying for God’s forgiveness. However, neither escape, prayer nor self-punishment can stop the pace of death, and the Black Death is still raging.

The plague has reduced Italy’s population by more than one third, and the death rate in the worst-hit areas is as high as 35% to 40%. This unprecedented disaster immersed Italy in deep sorrow and despair, but it also promoted the process of history. Under the heavy pressure of death, people began to reflect and think.

This disaster has revealed the importance of medicine and knowledge. In response to this epidemic, in April 1348, Florence City Council set up an epidemic prevention committee and began to implement the isolation system. The government issues health certificates to uninfected people and severely punishes those who violate the isolation regulations. Although this measure failed to completely eradicate the plague, it provided valuable experience for future generations’ epidemic prevention work, and the isolation and quarantine system gradually became one of the important methods to deal with the epidemic.

At the same time, the spread of the Black Death broke the shackles of medieval theology on people’s thoughts. People began to reflect on blind worship and superstition, and longed for the power of reason and knowledge. The theological concept of anti-intelligence is pale and powerless in the face of the horror of plague. People began to tend to explore science and rationality, and the seeds of the Renaissance quietly took root in this longing, and gradually blossomed with the passage of time.

Such as Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and other great artists and scientists, their wisdom and talent have opened a new chapter in human history. Italy, a land that was hit hard by the Black Death, eventually became the cradle of the Renaissance, which deeply influenced the history and culture of Europe as a whole. It is against this background of pain and despair that the Italians found the spark of hope, lit the glory of civilization, once again lit up the whole of Europe and pushed the wheel of history forward.

On June 26, 2018, the Aston Martin family’s new masterpiece DBS Superleggera made a stunning appearance, which announced the return of DBS series and Superleggera elements, among which DBS series came out in 1967, and the named Superleggera part aims to pay tribute to Touring, an Italian body manufacturer who first proposed the concept of ultra-lightweight.　

As the flagship super GT sports car of the family, it will replace the Vanquish S model and upgrade its product strength in an all-round way. In terms of the most eye-catching power, it is equipped with a 5.2-liter V12 twin-turbo engine with a maximum output of 725 HP and a peak torque of 900 Nm. The top speed can reach 340 km/h, which is matched with the ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox, and the acceleration of 100 km takes only 3.4 seconds. With the brand-new active valve and four-out exhaust system, it brings a very powerful exhaust sound to the new car. In order to achieve more precise control, the new car is also equipped with a mechanical limited slip differential and a torque vector distribution system.

The new car has made great efforts in aerodynamics, for example, it adopts the hidden flower-shaped air passage design formed by shark gill vent and front wheel arch and the second generation of "wind blade" technology. A double-layer diffuser inspired by F1 racing cars was also introduced. With these help, the new car can generate 180 kilograms of downforce when driving at the top speed, which is by far the largest production model under Aston Martin. In addition, the new car not only uses lightweight bonded aluminum structure, but also is equipped with forged double wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. With the support of the latest generation of adaptive damping system, the engine and chassis are provided with three dynamic modes to choose from.

The luxury of interior assembly is also not compromised. The new car not only comes standard with many advanced configurations, including keyless entry, tire pressure monitoring system, 360-degree panoramic camera, parking distance display and parking assistance, but also the appearance of Bang & Olufsen Hi-Fi audio system is a special standard for China models.

Alcantara fabric and leather veneer as well as Sports Plus high-performance seat and steering wheel are standard, reflecting a high level of manufacturing technology. In addition, the new car also offers a variety of designer kits and color schemes to choose from. The new car will be delivered to the China market at the end of 2018. Suggested retail price: RMB 3,768,000.

　　Reconstruction project of old residential area with red star row tail.

　　Go to the grass-roots level in the new year

　　A few days ago, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government issued the "Action Program for Adhering to the Essence of the" 3820 "Strategic Engineering Thought and Accelerating the Construction of a Modern International City", proposing to build a more complete social security system and continuously enhance the sense of gain and happiness of the broad masses. In recent years, the continuous renovation of old housing areas in our city has improved the housing conditions of citizens and has been widely praised by the people. Residents involved in relocation often come to the project site to pay attention to the construction progress.

　　Residents involved in relocation

　　Pay attention to the construction progress

　　Yesterday, the reporter came to the reconstruction project plot of Taijiang Hongxing Paiwei contiguous old housing area at the intersection of Liuyi Middle Road and Paiwei Road. This is the site of Lanyue Garden project, and dozens of high-rise residential buildings have sprung up.

　　Because of the new construction method, the site looks neat. Although the Spring Festival has just ended, some workers have entered the site for construction. Outside the gate of the project site, the old couple Lin Yibo and Wang Yim are counting the floors and asking the doorman, "Can we go in and have a look?" Although they were explicitly rejected, the two old people were not upset and still inquired about the progress of the project construction with the doorman.

　　Wang Yim smiled and told reporters: "Our original house in Hongxing New Village was only over 60 square meters. When we moved, we paid more than 200,000 yuan and chose a large house of 90 square meters. Now that the relocation house has been selected, I am looking forward to moving to the new house as soon as possible. "

　　The doorman told the reporter that, like the two old people, the residents involved in the relocation came to the project and paid attention to the construction progress almost every day. The whole project was built little by little in the observation of the residents involved in the relocation.

　　The reporter learned from the relevant departments that the project currently under construction in Lanyue Garden Area 1 has completed the capping of the main structure and the construction of the roof filling and frame layer, and the adjacent three areas are in the basement construction and the upper main body construction stage.

　　It is understood that the renovation project of the old residential area in the red star row is a comprehensive residential project integrating high-end commercial housing, resettlement commercial housing and commercial comprehensive construction. With the completion of the project and the relocation of personnel, the area will be upgraded from the original "miscellaneous, chaotic and old" state to a noble and livable residential area. All this is just a microcosm of Fuzhou’s acceleration in filling the shortcomings of people’s livelihood infrastructure.

　　The resettlement commercial housing model has been deeply rooted in people’s hearts.

　　The reporter learned from the Municipal Housing Management Bureau that in August 2017, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government decided to launch the "2018-2020" three-year old renovation campaign, involving 106 contiguous old housing projects with poor living conditions and chaotic surrounding environment. This is the largest renovation of old housing areas in Fuzhou in recent years.

　　Through the three-year old renovation, the contiguous old housing areas such as Hongqiang New Village in Gulou District and its surrounding areas, along Gule Road, Hongxing Paiwei in Taijiang District, South Park, Sancha Street and Guozhai in Cangshan District, and Yangxia and Puxia in Jin ‘an District have been renovated.

　　In order to effectively ensure the effective promotion of the renovation of old housing areas, during the renovation, the city has formed an overall arrangement and scheduling mechanism for the renovation of old housing areas in urban areas. Once the new projects are determined, the local government will make clear the specific time node of net land delivery, do a good job of signing and relocating all houses in advance, and complete the net land delivery work in time.

　　In the renovation of contiguous old housing areas, the key link is to do a good job in resettling the residents involved. In order to solve the problem of relocation and resettlement from the source, in recent years, Fuzhou has pioneered the resettlement-type commercial housing model in China, and ensured that the resettlement work is fair, open and just. From the end of 2017, all land requisition and relocation projects in the city will solve the resettlement problem according to this model. At present, the operation of resettlement commercial housing in Fuzhou has been on the right track, and the efficiency, high quality and identity of resettlement commercial housing have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

　　The reporter learned that after the large-scale renovation of old housing areas in stages, Fuzhou has now started the precise renovation action. In 2019, Fuzhou started the accurate old renovation of scattered plots in urban areas, and comprehensively mapped out the old houses that are not within the scope of renovation of contiguous old houses and renovation and upgrading of old communities, are ordinary bungalows, C-class and D-class dangerous buildings, or have scattered plots that seriously affect the landscape, and implemented accurate renovation in batches according to factors such as the degree of housing danger, landscape renovation requirements, and residents’ willingness to renovate. In the past two years, a total of 223 precision transformation projects of sporadic plots have been implemented, benefiting more than 2,700 households.

　　Guangdong actively explores "industrial internet plus’s safe production", and around the goal of "comprehensively strengthening the safety management and control of key vehicles by using intelligent and informational means", Guangdong fully promotes the construction of an intelligent monitoring and early warning integration platform for key vehicles with "two passengers, one danger and one heavy cargo", realizes "six breakthroughs" and makes great efforts to solve the difficult problem of road transportation safety supervision.

　　Realize a new breakthrough in intelligent supervision ability

　　Using face recognition and other technical means, the driver’s unsafe driving behavior is intelligently analyzed and automatically and in real time warned. Access the real-time monitoring data of the vehicle to realize the visible and controllable running trajectory, speed and unsafe driving behavior of the driver.

　　Achieve a new breakthrough in data fusion and sharing

　　It is the first in China to organically integrate the data of road transport enterprises, third-party institutions, public security, transportation and other regulatory departments to build a risk analysis model. Push the risk analysis weekly report to the relevant regulatory authorities and personnel through "Guangdong Government Easy" to solve the problem of scattered data and separate departments.

　　Achieve a new breakthrough in early warning information processing

　　Through the construction of an early warning monitoring center, a special person will be on duty all day, tracking and handling the early warning information of high-risk vehicles and dynamically upgrading the degree of intervention, focusing on solving the problem that key vehicles are "no one is in charge of enterprises and the government can’t manage them".

　　Achieve a new breakthrough in risk analysis and prevention and control

　　By establishing and gradually iteratively upgrading the risk intelligent calculation model, the risk score of each road transport enterprise and vehicle can be accurately calculated, and the risks of transport vehicles, enterprises and drivers can be dynamically ranked, and the real-time synchronous sharing of departmental information can be realized through big data center and "Guangdong Government Easy".

　　Achieve a new breakthrough in expanding supervision and improving efficiency

　　At present, the integration platform has achieved "full coverage" of vehicle data of "two passengers and one danger" and electronic waybill management of dangerous goods in the province, and has access to satellite positioning data of about 760,000 key vehicles operating in Guangdong throughout the country, so as to realize positioning early warning such as vehicle speeding. The Provincial Department of Transportation deployed the intelligent video installation of 325,000 heavy trucks in the province. The Provincial Public Security Department promoted the construction of 19 inter-provincial highway checkpoints and 25 law enforcement checkpoints in key service areas, so as to improve the law enforcement investigation rate of preview information pavement.

　　Realize the main responsibility and make a new breakthrough.

　　Use "Guangdong Business Connect" to connect enterprise data, realize direct access to risk information, and get through the "last mile" of supervision. After the integration platform was officially launched on February 3, the first "ticket" was issued to road transport enterprises: the driver of a company in Huizhou had serious unsafe driving behavior, and after being monitored and warned by the integration platform, the company fined him 1800 yuan.

　　Through practical application, the application object of monitoring data is gradually covered from "single vehicle" to "people, vehicles and enterprises", the management link is extended from "accountability afterwards" to "prevention beforehand", the management means is upgraded from "crowd tactics" to "technical defense tactics", the law enforcement supervision is linked from "on-site law enforcement" to "online and offline", and the management purpose is changed from "violation handling" to ".

Valentine’s day and sweet pet drama are more suitable!

When I was at home, I watched "fancy sprinkling sugar", the atmosphere was romantic and warm, the picture was pink, the plot was sweet and greasy, and the face was high, which made people feel concerned!

In recent years, online drama has become a large-scale "sugar factory", and it has also won a lot of new actors. Here, instead of Amway’s new sweet pet dramas, eight classic sugar-sprinkling dramas are selected. Some overbearing presidents fall in love with me, some simply cure Xiao Qingxin, some demonstrate the best boyfriend, and some cute girlfriends, such as cups of warm tea in winter, warm your heart and my heart.

1, "love, chitose adult’s first love"

"Next Stop is Happiness" got the face value and acting skills of Miss Victoria Song. In fact, as early as "Making Love", Victoria Song was already impressive! And with this drama Su Fantian’s male host design and exquisite performance, Johnny captured the hearts of countless girls in one fell swoop. The drama tells the love story of Guan Pipi, an ordinary and kind social newspaper intern, who met the mysterious and affectionate right priest Helan Jingting of the fox family. Douban scored 7, creating a benchmark for domestic fantasy love online drama, which is a well-deserved explosion.

2. Summer of the Fox

Marisu out! The eccentric female host "abuses" the president, which is king. The drama is divided into one season and two seasons, which tells the funny love story of the lie transmitter "Miss Fox" and the human flesh polygraph "President of the White Rabbit", from incompatibility to closeness. Break through the conventional interesting people’s design, the youth idol lineup with the coexistence of acting skills, and the light comedy performance form of self-release. Seven’s and Jo Jiang’s interpretations of strength are in contrast, with a bursting sense of CP and a full heart value. The Thai version of the drama has just started, starring top-class Yan value mai and push, and its influence in Asia can be seen.

3. To Our Warm Hour Light

As a youth drama with Douban score of 8 last year, the drama is adapted from Zhao Qianqian’s novel of the same name, and tells a sweet and funny love story that happened after the oxygen girl Situmo and the physical genius Gu Weiyi accidentally shared a room. Cooking, getting sick, washing sheets, listening to cross talk and other details get to a fairy love with fireworks. Love should last forever, but also day and night. Lin Yi and Fair Xing, two newcomers, also went out of the circle with the popularity of the drama.

4. "The world owes me a first love"

It’s another anti-routine sweet drama. After watching it, everyone said it was poisonous. What is the first love? It’s a heart-pounding, a deer bumping into each other, and it’s the purest sweetness. Then this is the experience of watching the drama. In addition to all kinds of famous scenes in which men and women are fond of each other, there are also all kinds of tricks of men and women who majored in positive results and their predecessors in green tea. However, this is not suitable for CP! This is called hard-core sweetness. You can chase it all at once and lose nothing.

5. "I only like you"

Janice, a popular couple in the classic cp, and Zhang Yujian, the younger brother of the abstinence department, performed a story of "from campus to wedding dress" with the sweetest love, the warmest story and the most long-lasting confession. Interestingly, "I only like you" continues the original fragmented memory style. At the beginning of each episode, there will be eggs, Qiao Yi (Janice) and Yan Mo (Zhang Yujian)’ s sweet "little theater after marriage" and their interesting QA, which is a legend in the Jianghu. This is a reality for cp.

6, "Meng Wife Gourmet"

As a four-in-one drama of crossing, food, palace fighting and love, Meng Wife Gourmet can be described as "full of color, flavor and taste". It tells the story that Ye Jiayao and Jing ‘an Hou Shizi, who returned to ancient times by chance, became husband and wife, and they stumbled to re-recognize and accept each other. The all-round heroine’s domineering and anti-teasing, her heart warming and her stomach sustained high energy, and the ancient entrepreneurial brain hole opened wide, and the eye-catching index burst.

7. "Two-time Spoil"

From the perspective of the title of the play alone, it contains a high-sweet warning, and it is a dark horse for the summer file that year. "Sweet pet", "high sugar" and "girl’s heart" have everything. It’s a long story to serve the drama, and it’s all because of the high energy of the plot lines that the male and female cp plays don’t inject water. Xing Zhaolin and Liang Jie were both unknown when they appeared in the play, but they quickly gathered popularity after the broadcast. After the first one, the second one was broadcast, which shows how many fans there are.

8. Alien Girl Chai Xiaoqi

Although "Xiaoqi" is not as famous as the above plays, the sweetness index is even worse. It tells the story that Chai Xiaoqi, an alien girl, stayed on the earth and met Fang Leng, the overbearing president, and started a high-energy hilarious and romantic cross-star love story. The monotony of "silly white sweetness" rarely allows girls to substitute themselves, but Chai Xiaoqi, the heroine, not only has a special function, but her infatuation and boldness satisfy the fantasies of the girls watching the drama. It’s not a big production without traffic blessing. The reason why "Xiaoqi" can reach the popularity of online drama top1 when it is broadcast is all due to the sweet, high-energy and funny plot, an episode of into the pit, and it is also chased after staying up late.

Under the background of the rapid development of platform economy and digital technology, do the new professional groups represented by selling riders face the risk of technical unemployment? This issue of "Investigation and Research" is based on interviews and investigations on the rider’s labor process, and at the same time, it organizes multi-perspective discussions in the industry and academia to explore more topics about the development of intelligent society.

According to the data of "China Sharing Economy Development Report 2021" released by the National Information Center, there will be about 84 million sharing economy service providers in China in 2020, with a year-on-year increase of about 7.7%. The sharing economic service providers here mainly include new employment forms such as take-away riders, online car drivers and couriers. At the beginning of 2023, the All-China Federation of Trade Unions released the results of the ninth national survey on the status of the workforce. The data shows that there are currently 84 million workers in the new employment form in China. The number of take-away riders reached 13 million, accounting for 15% of the total workers in the new employment form. During the COVID-19 epidemic, the number of take-away riders increased sharply. Take Meituan as an example. From 2020 to 2022, the number of riders increased from 4.7 million to 6.24 million, an increase of 32.8%.

The large-scale rise of workers with new employment forms is closely related to the prosperity and development of platform economy. The rapid development of platform economy is inseparable from the rapid progress of artificial intelligence technology. As the core driving force of the fourth industrial revolution, artificial intelligence technology is setting off a global wave of science and technology, which not only becomes the strategic commanding height of scientific and technological competition between countries, but also profoundly changes all aspects of human social production and daily life. However, the wide application of artificial intelligence technology in the platform economy not only promotes the production progress and the convenience of life, but also causes people’s worries about the "skills removal" and "technical unemployment" caused by technological progress.

In July 2021, Meituan revealed at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference that unmanned delivery vehicles will develop into large-scale applications in 3-5 years. UAV service is also expected to appear in more cities within 3-5 years. The rapid development of unmanned distribution inevitably makes people worry about "de-skilling" and being replaced. However, the relevant personnel of the US Mission also said that unmanned distribution and non-contact economy are an ecological concept. Only scale and normalization can solve the cost problem, and manpower is still needed before all the advantages of innovation and technological iteration appear, so a large number of unemployment is unlikely. This can’t completely eliminate people’s worries about "de-skill" and "technical unemployment" caused by technological progress. In view of the huge scale of take-away riders, automation, digitalization and unmanned are imperative, it is necessary for us to go back to the problem that worries us and re-understand the labor process of "de-skill" and take-away riders.

The Essence of "De-skilling" and Tacit Knowledge in Labor Process

The idea of "de-skilling" originated from American economist harry braverman. In his view, Taylor’s scientific management is to concentrate scattered handicraft knowledge on employers, and then distribute it to workers in the form of detailed instruction books. Braverman described it as "separation of concept and implementation". Therefore, the essence of "de-skill" is the separation of concept and execution, that is, the separation of hand and brain in work.

"De-skilling" means the degeneration of workers. With the mechanization and automation of industrial production process, especially the infinite subdivision of work, workers in specific positions have less and less skills to master, and then become part of the production line instead of a complete person. Workers no longer use their brains at work, but execute orders like parts or tools of machines. As a result, workers become more and more stupid.

Back to the labor process of the takeaway rider. A large number of studies at home and abroad have revealed the trend of artificial intelligence, big data and algorithms in strengthening platform supervision ability, reducing workers’ autonomy and "de-skill". As mentioned above, "de-skill" is essentially the separation of hands and brains at work, and the result is the degradation of workers’ cognitive ability; However, in actual observation, the performance of takeaway riders is not the case. One of the important reasons is that the rider’s "tacit knowledge" in his work is ignored.

"Tacit knowledge" means "we know more than what we can express and formulate". For a long time, the "tacit knowledge" of workers is hard to find, but it plays a huge role. The advantage of "tacit knowledge" is that it comes from a specific situation rather than a general situation, so it can judge the causes of specific problems in the labor process more quickly and directly and find solutions. This characteristic, which originates from a specific situation and is inseparable from human intuition and judgment, makes the rider’s labor process unable to be simplified into "rules, regulations and formulas" according to the requirements of scientific management. The process of using "tacit knowledge" is precisely the process of combining hands and brains. Therefore, food delivery will not make takeaway riders stupid, but will make them "gain certain growth": "It has not only changed the situation in my family, but also changed my life, and also changed my personality, making me a lot more mature and stable, and also become much stronger."

Simply put, the rider’s tacit knowledge in the process of food delivery is mainly reflected in three aspects: first, the brain map, second, the situational experience and third, the communication skills.

The first is the "brain map". Most riders’ distribution route planning recommended by the external selling platform App has experienced a transition from full compliance to independent planning. At the beginning of food delivery, new riders will deliver food in strict accordance with the delivery route recommended by the takeaway platform App because they are unfamiliar with the food delivery process, area and time. But when they are familiar with it, they will deliver food according to the distribution route accumulated in their own minds, because they know how to plan the distribution route faster: "We started to deliver food according to the systematic planning, and after three months of familiarity, we followed the planned route in our brains."

Followed by "situational experience." Riders can make good judgments on specific situations because they repeatedly deal with people and things in the process of delivering food, which enables them to continuously accumulate various typical "situational experiences". This kind of experience, like the "brain map" and the "communication skills" mentioned later, can’t be clearly expressed, but they all play a key role: "We will encounter all kinds of problems in the process of delivering food. For example, if some merchants are slow to deliver food, you can take it from other homes first, or the customers are close. It is ok for me to deliver it to him in a few minutes and then come back to pick up his meals."

Finally, there is "communication skills". Riders need to practice superb communication skills, because one of the skills they use most in the process of food delivery is communication, such as communication with the front desk of merchants, communication with security guards at the entrance of supermarkets and communities, and communication with customers. Good communication can not only improve the efficiency of food delivery, but also get favorable service comments: "Because it is a service industry, it is better to communicate with guests. If you have a bad temper, it is easy to have language disputes with guests … If you don’t communicate well, you will definitely be complained. Communication in our business is more important than food delivery. "

Therefore, from the perspective of using "tacit knowledge" in the process of food delivery, that is, the combination of hand and brain is needed in the work, the delivery of take-away food is not "de-skilled". Good communication with merchants/security guards/customers, human brain planning of distribution routes, and "situational experience" needed in each link of meal taking/delivery all require takeaway riders to use their hands and brains and make good use of the "tacit knowledge" they have accumulated in their work. The cognitive ability of riders has not deteriorated at work, and they have not become "more and more stupid".

The factory that can’t go back and the desire of "complete workers"

During the two sessions of the National People’s Congress in 2022, Zhang Xinghai, deputy to the National People’s Congress and chairman of Xiaokang Group, said that in recent years, industries such as take-away, e-commerce and webcasting have attracted a large number of young people to find jobs; Express delivery and take-away industry "involution" to graduate students to compete; Young people are no longer willing to go to work in factories, which leads to the increasingly serious problem of hollowing out industrial workers. Zhang Xinghai suggested that the government, enterprises and all walks of life should make joint efforts to encourage young people to become industrial workers, so as to alleviate the difficulties in recruiting and employing workers in the manufacturing industry. However, the main reason why riders are unwilling to enter the factory and are willing to deliver takeout is that the delivery of takeout is not "unskilled" compared with factory workers, but requires them to use their hands and brains.

While there is a "blowout" of employment on various Internet platforms, the traditional manufacturing industry is indeed experiencing a "labor shortage". Cao Dewang, the founder of Fuyao Group, also expressed his feelings for this: "Nowadays, young people would rather send takeout than go to work in a factory. This is the current dilemma facing the manufacturing industry." In this regard, Professor Wen Xiaoyi of China Institute of Labor Relations pointed out: "In the past, young and middle-aged laborers who were active in factory production lines are constantly moving from offline to online, which has made great changes in China’s economic structure and situation. In the past, going to work in coastal factories was the first choice for countless young people to realize their urban dreams. Nowadays, sending express delivery and take-away in big cities is becoming a career priority. "

For the phenomenon that young people "prefer to take delivery rather than go to work in factories", most studies take the high salary return of the platform economy and the strict management of the manufacturing industry as the main reasons. Indeed, the income return of takeaway riders is no less than that of traditional manufacturing. It is reported that most workers in factories in coastal areas earn 4,000-8,000 yuan a month. In contrast, riders can get 7000-8000 yuan per month, and many people can even exceed 10,000 yuan. More importantly, although it is equally hard, being a takeaway rider is rarely controlled, more free, and can also take time off: "The factory is too strict and has no rest. Except for legal holidays, the state can’t deduct (punish) it, so I will give you a day off. It’s more than 6 thousand yuan a month, which is similar to here. But in comparison, it is free here. "

The "local workers" described by Marx may be the original prototype of "de-skill", that is, "workers who have been engaged in the same simple operation all their lives turn their whole bodies into automatic one-sided organs of this operation". The production line invented by Henry Ford shows more intuitively that modern factories no longer need the "whole body" of workers, but "one-sided organs". The design principle of the assembly line invented by Ford is to "arrange tools and people according to working procedures so as to complete the assembly of spare parts in the shortest possible time". Obviously, people are reduced to tool-like existence on the assembly line. Therefore, the workers on the assembly line will inevitably encounter the problem of hand-brain separation and the cognitive degradation caused by it.

However, Marx also pointed out that "conscious life activities directly distinguish people from animal life activities" when distinguishing people from animals. The difference between people and animals lies in that people can engage in free and conscious conscious activities, and the difference between people and tools lies in that people have valuable cognitive and creative abilities. Therefore, people are more willing to take delivery than those jobs that make people stupid on the assembly line, precisely because people naturally want to use their hands and brains at work. Because of the existence of "tacit knowledge", delivery can make riders feel that they are "complete workers" rather than "one-sided organs" than entering the factory. This may also be the reason why riders feel "freedom" at work.

Although the take-away rider does not really face the dilemma of "de-skill", it is undeniable that the rider engaged in take-away distribution may not have high academic qualifications and high skills. According to the results of the ninth survey on the status of the national workforce released by the All-China Federation of Trade Unions, the academic qualifications of couriers and take-away distributors are concentrated in high school and below. It is not difficult to find out from the employment report of Meituan riders during the epidemic period released by Meituan that the ranking of riders’ sources from high to low is factory workers, salespeople, entrepreneurs or self-employed small businesses or catering industry employees. Among them, factory workers, salespeople, and catering employees may also be low-skilled workers. How to let more people accumulate "tacit knowledge" in their work, show free and conscious labor and realize the coordinated development of man and machine is the key issue in the era of artificial intelligence.

　　CCTV News:Twenty-three years ago (1996), Lao Rongzhi was a Chinese teacher in a primary school in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province. On November 28 this year, she appeared in a case report issued by the police as a fugitive who had been on the run for 20 years involving three places and seven lives. It is difficult for people to associate a beautiful woman with a suspect in a serial murder case. In those days, after Lao Rongzhi absconded, this case and the Baiyin case in Gansu, as well as two other cases, were called the four unsolved cases in China by some media. So, how many secrets did Lao Rongzhi hide 20 years ago? After absconding for 20 years, how did she get caught?

　　Big data accurately judges and locks suspected fugitive women.

　　On the afternoon of November 27, 2019, using big data, the police found that a woman who was active near Caitang Square in Siming District of Xiamen was highly similar to the information of Jiangxi fugitive Lao Mouzhi in the fugitive library of the Ministry of Public Security.

　　Lin Guoqiang, the squadron leader of the Synthetic Operations Center of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Siming Branch of Xiamen Public Security Bureau: We are verifying the household registration information, including her parents’ situation and family situation, including the possible direction of her escape after this incident. Moreover, she has basically no traces of social activities for so many years, so this branch of Lao has lost the direction of its activity track. There is no trace of Lao’ s branch. What is the identity of this suspected woman?

　　Suspicious women frequently appear and pursue their identity in depth.

　　The police of the task force immediately went to Caitang Square to investigate. During the investigation, the police found that Caitang Square is a business circle, but there are also many residential areas around it. Then, the suspected woman frequently appears here. Is she living here? Or do you work here?

　　After many investigations, the police finally got an important clue from a nearby business account.

　　Lin Guoqiang, Squadron Leader of Synthetic Operations Center of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Siming Branch of Xiamen Public Security Bureau:The suspected woman should be a friend of hers who had a watch counter in Dongbai Square in Caitang, and then her friend went on a business trip in the middle of November, and then gave her the watch counter in Dongbai Square in Caitang to help take care of it for a few days, so this woman appeared in Caitang Square.

　　Peripheral investigation, mastering its activity track, ambush

　　In addition, after an external investigation, the police learned that the woman would come to the store on the morning of November 28. The task force decided to arrest him immediately.

　　Lin Guoqiang, Squadron Leader of Synthetic Operations Center of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Siming Branch of Xiamen Public Security Bureau:When we approached the suspect, we still adopted some ways and means, observed it, and then asked her directly after it was over. This woman was relatively calm and calm at first.

　　When the police asked about her personal information, the woman kept prevaricating and refused to give a positive answer.

　　Reporter:What did she say?

　　Lin Guoqiang, Squadron Leader of Synthetic Operations Center of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Siming Branch of Xiamen Public Security Bureau:She invented a false name, Hong Yejiao, from Nanjing. We inquired about the population of Nanjing according to her age and the name she said, and found no such similarity.

　　Fabricate a false identity and still conceal true information in the face of trial

　　Subsequently, the police took the woman back to the police station for further investigation. During the trial, in the face of police interrogation, the woman refused to confess her true information.

　　Lin Guoqiang, Squadron Leader of Synthetic Operations Center of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Siming Branch of Xiamen Public Security Bureau:Is refused to explain, what also don’t say, don’t cooperate, ask what she didn’t answer, just shut up for you, so in view of this situation, we immediately collected her blood samples for technical inspection.

　　Extract biological samples for DNA identification at the first time.

　　This time, it is the DNA of a relative of the fugitive Lao that is compared with the biological sample of the suspected woman. In other words, if the DNA comparison is successful, the suspect that this woman is a fugitive Lao will be settled.

　　Lin Guoqiang, Squadron Leader of Synthetic Operations Center of Criminal Investigation Brigade of Siming Branch of Xiamen Public Security Bureau:After several hours of waiting, it was finally revealed that the suspected woman was a murder fugitive, Lao Mouzhi.

　　Wandering around many cities, doing odd jobs in bars and other places

　　After preliminary investigation, in 1996, Lao Mouzhi and the criminal Faziying killed a family of three in Nanchang, Jiangxi, and committed crimes in many places. In July 1999, Faziying was arrested in Hefei, Anhui Province, and a branch of Lao absconded. According to the confession of the criminal suspect Lao Mouzhi, in the past 20 years, in order to escape the blow, she not only changed her face, but also remained anonymous and used multiple false names, wandering between different cities, relying on odd jobs and short-term jobs in bars, KTV and other places for a living. Until November 28, 2019, it was captured by the Xiamen police in Fujian. At present, the police have not found that the criminal suspect Lao Mouzhi committed a crime during his flight to Xiamen, and the case is still under investigation.

Many consumers think that the cost of buying a car plus the cost of maintaining a car every year is really a lot of money, but now taxi software is so popular that it is convenient and cheap to take a car, and it is not practical to buy a car. However, in bad weather such as cold or hot, carrying a heavy shopping bag or dragging a huge suitcase, or when the driver is in an emergency, he will feel the pain of waiting.

In 2020, the local life service industry can be described as war-torn and turbulent. During the epidemic, staying at home to buy and buy has become the home lifestyle of most people. And the takeaway platform represented by "Ele.me" has also taken advantage of the trend and changed from a single catering delivery service in the past to the number one player in local life services.

According to data, this year’s Ele.me saw a gratifying rise in various business data. With the help of people’s online consumption habits, Ele.me can be said to have made a beautiful turnaround in local life services. So, what did Ele.me experience this year to reach the peak of this era and become a leader in local life services?

Service upgrade to deal with the epidemic, revenue and the number of merchants double growth

According to Ali’s financial report, the revenue from local consumer services in the first fiscal quarter was RMB 7.101 billion yuan (about 1.005 billion US dollars), an increase of 15% over RMB 6.18 billion yuan in the same period last year.

It can be seen that from the most serious period of the epidemic, Ele.me has been providing users with basic life services such as food ordering and delivery, and has continuously enlarged the business volume.

It is understood that during this period, Ele.me has launched five major measures, including commission reduction, financial support, and the rapid launch of takeaway, which have concentrated the value of its "new services" and showcased the tremendous energy of local services.

In addition, in February 2020, Ele.me and other fresh merchants, such as Youxian Vegetable Market, Caiwenji, and Vegetable Commune, guaranteed the shopping business in 38 cities across the country to meet the food supply of consumers during the epidemic prevention and control period, covering a total of 60,000 stores. Since then, the service business of fresh vegetable delivery has become an important business segment of Ele.me.

During this period, on the Ele.me APP page, after consumers enter the grocery buying channel, they can find nearby fresh stores, and vegetables, fruits, meat, poultry and aquatic products can be purchased in one stop. It is worth mentioning that the average number of Ele.me stores in a single city is more than 1,000, covering most areas of the urban area. Moreover, with the gradual recovery of store business rate, the coverage has further expanded.

It is understood that Ele.me also adopts a self-operated model to increase the amount of directly sourced ingredients from high-quality origins to ensure the supply of fresh vegetables, meat and poultry and other ingredients. Moreover, for consumers who do not have an online vegetable market nearby, they can also use the Hummingbird errand service, and the takeaway brother will buy the food on their behalf.

In response to the epidemic, Ele.me’s service upgrade is like a timely rain. For example, in terms of preventing virus infection, Ele.me has also launched a contactless "peace of mind delivery" service nationwide, avoiding face-to-face contact during delivery.

Consumers can choose "contactless delivery" in the remarks column of the order, and ask to place the goods at the designated location such as the door, front desk, etc. After the rider is properly placed, they can pick up the goods without direct contact.

In Wuhan, where the epidemic situation was the most severe at that time, Ele.me cooperated with "10,000 tons" to "displace" Wuhan’s 100 self-pickup points, allowing consumers to place orders online and pick up dishes at their doorstep according to their own time, which was very convenient and fast.

Strategic upgrade expands boundaries, Ele.me realizes "everything can be sent"

On July 10, 2020, Ele.me announced a comprehensive upgrade, from a catering takeaway platform to a life service platform that solves all the immediate needs of users. Then on July 17, the Ele.me APP was newly revised and launched.

This upgrade covers four aspects: from food delivery to providing full-service city life, personalized recommendation, content-based interaction, and membership system upgrade. At the same time, the Ele.me takeaway brand has been upgraded and Wang Yibo has been invited as the brand spokesperson.

This strategic shift is no accident. In 2019, Ali’s local life service company released the "new service" strategy, which is based on the intelligence of the service system, the intelligence of the product system, and the intelligence of the hardware system to comprehensively help merchants reduce costs and increase efficiency.

So far, Ele.me’s focus on local life services has changed from "traffic" to "people" – "We want to make operators no longer rely on’traffic ‘to make money, but on’craftsmanship’ to make money, so that every worker can gain dignity in the industry," Ele.me CEO Wang Lei said in an interview with the media last year.

After this comprehensive upgrade, Ele.me continues to focus on consumers’ "economy around them" from delivery to delivery of all things and services. The connotation of "delivery of all things" is constantly expanding, and goods and services can be taken home. In addition to retail goods such as fresh milk, mother and baby toys, beauty, books, stationery, sports equipment, etc., items such as manicure, beauty, housekeeping, and cleaning will also be delivered to your door.

Ele.me also launched a new service of "ordering at will" for the first time. When users order fresh milk and other takeaways, in addition to instant delivery, they can also enjoy cycle delivery, with 7-day, 15-day, and 30-day options.

In fact, Ele.me up the ante non-catering takeaway service, consumer demand-driven results. Over the past year, Ele.me users’ non-catering demand has continued to grow, especially in supermarkets, fruits and vegetables, medicine, flowers and other categories.

After the epidemic hit, with the sharp increase in the number of non-catering stores, the number of such stores even exceeded that of traditional catering stores. For example, the number of pet supply stores increased by 6 times, and the number of hot pot skewers and mother and baby stores also increased exponentially.

Obviously, today, Ele.me has got rid of the label of food delivery platform and become a veritable local life service platform. And its core competitiveness is also increasingly competitive because of the increasing number and categories of platform merchants.

Ten Billion Subsidies Seize Double 11 Home, MAU Data Reaches Peak

In August this year, Ele.me launched Ten Billion Subsidy, and as it has said to the outside world, it has turned Ten Billion Subsidy into a regular action. The specific gameplay is that consumers can enjoy an additional subsidy of up to 20 yuan when they place an order at a merchant participating in Ten Billion Subsidy. The subsidy amount can be used in combination with red envelopes and price-break discounts.

Subsequent to three consecutive upgrades in less than three months, the scope of subsidies expanded from catering to life services and other categories, and the subsidy cities expanded from the original 24 cities to nearly 130 cities. According to reports, with the advancement of the Ten Billion Subsidy project, the scope of subsidies will continue to expand to all categories, including daily general merchandise, medicine, snacks, fresh fruits, rice noodles grain and oil, pet supplies, etc.

According to the data of QuestMobile, an authoritative third-party data agency in China, in June 2020, after the deduplicate APP and Mini Program were added, the monthly active user number (MAU) of Ele.me was 76.61 million. Before the opening of Double Eleven this year, the monthly active user scale in October broke the historical record, reaching the peak and ranking first in the industry.

This also indicates that Ele.me’s 2020 service upgrade, platform upgrade, strategic upgrade and other measures have begun to bear fruit. While the category and number of merchants have doubled, it has also brought a huge increase in new users. And under the double up the ante of Alibaba capital and platform resources, the Ele.me platform also shows a strong platform appeal and brand influence.

In the past Double 11, local merchants benefited significantly from the new cycle of "nunchakus" this year. Ele.me continued to break through in catering by virtue of its card coupons and live broadcast advantages: during Double 11, the sales of multiple takeaway categories and catering brands on the platform increased by more than 100% year-on-year, and takeaway orders in lower-tier markets surged. Orders in nearly 40 prefecture-level cities rose by more than 50% year-on-year, and orders in many cities across the country more than doubled year-on-year.

Whether it is the exponential growth of Ele.me MAU, the increase in the number of merchants on the platform, or the sharp increase in the order volume of its platform, there is no doubt that it has strengthened the moat for its competition in the takeaway track, and it can be said to be the success of its Double Eleven strategy.

Alibaba’s new retail system empowers Ele.me to attack new digital services

In September this year, at the 2020 Alibaba Investor Conference, Ele.me CEO Wang Lei revealed that in the past year, Ele.me and Alibaba Group have completed comprehensive integration, not only connecting with the group in terms of users and traffic, but also Ele.me’s product technology and other infrastructure are also on Alibaba Cloud. After the integration is completed, Ele.me began to appear "food card", "sub-province" and many other differentiated goods and services, and its ecological growth flywheel has begun to start.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Yong, chairperson and CEO of Alibaba Alibaba, also attaches great importance to the business of Ele.me. He once said to the internal team: Local life service will be a tough battle, and this battle needs to be fought together.

When Zhang Yong said everyone, he meant to start this battle with Hu Xiaoming, CEO of Ant Group. Two years ago, in April 2018, Alibaba completed its largest acquisition – the full acquisition of Ele.me for $9.50 billion. In October, Alibaba integrated Ele.me and Koubei to officially establish a local life service company, which is enough to prove that Alibaba has strategic ambitions to eat local life services.

This is due to the synergy effect between Ele.me and various businesses in Alibaba’s economy, including Alipay, Taobao, and Autonavi. Ali’s financial report disclosed that as of March 31, 40% of the new consumers of Ele.me food delivery came from Alipay.

During the 318 Alipay City Life Week, consumers ordered 1.66 million cups of Coke and 1.76 million skewers of mutton through Ele.me; more than 80,000 hot pot restaurants and more than 60,000 milk tea shops recovered and even exceeded the level before the epidemic. During the "Shanghai Five-Year Shopping Festival", Shanghai’s small shops in Ele.me orders increased by more than 40% compared with the same period in March.

Alibaba Group’s latest financial report shows that local life service revenue in fiscal 2020 was RMB 25.44 billion yuan, an increase of 41% year-on-year, "mainly due to the increase in the number of orders delivered and the increase in the average value per unit."

The soaring data, on the one hand, is due to the connection with Alipay, Taobao, Tmall, Autonavi and other national-level traffic portals, and the diversion of merchants through Ele.me. On the other hand, in the next year, Ali Local Life will upgrade the "Digital Intelligence Zhongtai" for 1 million merchants to help them realize the digital upgrade of the full link of operation. At the same time, Ali Local Life will also help more than 5,000 merchants open Tmall stores to realize the connection between retail e-commerce and local life.

This is also the implementation of the "new service" strategy proposed by Ali Local Life in October 2019. In the future, the combination of new retail and local life services to realize online digital operation is an inevitable trend. Connecting Ele.me local life services to Alipay digital life open API will also open a new pattern of industry competition and once again stabilize the moat of Ali and Ele.me in local life services.

For Ele.me, it can be said that the epidemic has accelerated its pace of digital upgrading in the local service industry, and Ele.me’s upgraded "new service" will also be a new journey on a new track, and it will also create differentiated competitive barriers.

For example, after Eli.me "enters the Tao", it will open the Tmall flagship store, the Mini Program in the Alipay ecosystem, and the offline scan Mini Program of merchants, as well as multiple marketing ports such as word-of-mouth and Ele.me platform stores.

At the same time, the membership system and digital marketing system have also achieved multi-segment synchronization, making the efficiency of merchant marketing more three-dimensional and diverse. Whether it is through Tmall or private domain traffic, it can be reached at any time.

Wang Lei said: "So this upgrade, from another perspective, is also a start." Despite this, but backed by the big tree of Ali, Ele.me’s pace of entering digitalization is very stable and unusually firm.

conclusion

The disastrous year 2020 is coming to an end, an epidemic has changed people’s way of life and changed people’s various concepts. Ele.me’s homeopathic and rapid change has really shown people the power of a company with a sense of mission and responsibility to embrace change.

We believe that Ele.me will continue to serve as an industry leader in the local life service industry after repositioning its strategy and upgrading the dimensions and heights of its platform services. Together with Alibaba, we will also make a comeback for local life services.
