1905 movie network feature Please note that the "Gong Xi Fa Cai" version is open in supermarkets, and the countdown to the thawing of actor Andy Lau…

The new film starring Andy Lau is about to meet the audience on the first day of the new year (February 10). The director of the film created the "crazy" comedy series, but this time, the two of them joined hands, and the comedy was still the same, but no longer crazy, turned around gracefully.

In the movie, Andy Lau plays the superstar Lau Wai-chi, a name that means "Andy Lau ++" – three of the most significant superstars in the modern history of Hong Kong cinema.

The director Ning Hao admitted that when writing the script for "Mr. Red Carpet," "I was full of Andy Lau, and I just wanted to give Brother Hua a gift and realize a dream."

To this end, director Ning Hao is even more in the role of the "true character" director in the film, customizing a movie "going to the film festival" for the big star Liu Weichi.

In the past, it has long been a story that Andy Lau sponsored director Ning Hao to shoot. The stories inside and outside "Mr. Red Carpet" are intertwined with the reality of the two, and this fate that has passed through 17 years finally meets. A story about self-deprecation in the entertainment industry seems to stimulate the audience’s "snooping desire" for the entertainment industry, but the story is far more than that…

01. New breakthroughs after cooperation

The movie "Mr. Red Carpet" is a new feature film submitted by Director Ning Hao after a lapse of five years.

From the material of the film alone, he has continued the original absurdity, but dropped the "crazy" setting and moved to the "elegant" side. This may also be the kind of balance he seeks – like the international poster of the film, Andy Lau’s Liu Weichi clumsily drives a standing electric balance bike and tries to maintain his balance on the red carpet – the intention is always easily misinterpreted, and the consequences are often out of control.

Without a doubt, this was a breakthrough for Ning Hao. Looking back at his creation, this was not the first time.

The first time was "Crazy Stone", the second time was, and this time was the third time. Interestingly, every breakthrough was more or less related to Andy Lau.

Andy Lau’s "Asian Rising Star Director" program, which supported Ning Hao’s "Crazy Stone," has long been a household name, but what many people don’t know is that the screenplay was actually his first screenplay, which was called "Diamond" at the time.

At that time, the marketing process of the mainland film market had just begun, and it was not easy for a new director to get the opportunity. He could only shoot two low-cost literary films in a row – reality films and children’s films.

The story of Bole and Maxima by Andy Lau and Ning Hao has been widely circulated along with the development of China’s film market. The birth of a dark horse also witnessed the rise of a new director.

At least this breakthrough allowed the audience to know Ning Hao. Everyone thought he would cooperate with Andy Lau, but at that time Ning Hao still didn’t know what story to use to "put" Andy Lau in. Every time Andy Lau met him, he always asked about the possibility of cooperation.

In the early days of "No Man’s Land", Ning Hao tried to write the story to Andy Lau, but as he wrote it, he became an old partner in his mind. This atypical comedy made the audience realize that Ning Hao could also make films other than comedy.

"No Man’s Land" has been going around for 10 years, and perhaps another possibility has already been opened for Ning Hao’s creation.

As Ning Hao said, "Mr. Red Carpet" was a gift to Andy Lau.

After 17 years of cooperation, the two did not play the safety card, but used a new style to break the audience’s impression of him and Andy Lau. "Mr. Red Carpet" is a new comedy way to break the routine, so that this 17-year fate has been perfectly responded.

The communication between the director and the actors has come to a good conclusion for the time being.

02. Misplaced and contrasting humor

The biggest difference for the audience of "Mr. Red Carpet" is that the film is "beyond imagination".

When people saw the name of "director Ning Hao", they naturally thought of many "crazy comedies" including "Crazy Stone", but this time, Ning Hao "lost" "crazy", "lost" the classic mode of multi-line narrative in the past, and returned to the original story.

Like the "red carpet" itself, compared to other carpets, it has no complex lines and no curved trajectories.

And "Mr." naturally belongs to the actor Andy Lau.

Actor Andy Lau has been on the scene for 43 years and has been involved in about 164 films. In these works, he has played a variety of roles and experienced different theatrical lives. Among them, he has starred in only three movies, namely 1993, 2015, and this year’s "Mr. Red Carpet".

Compared with the drama brought by the character setting in the previous two works, the star image in "Mr. Red Carpet" reinforces the absurdity of "making fun of himself". Liu Weichi may be Andy Lau himself, or someone else in the entertainment industry, but it is also a dialogue between inside and outside the circle, observing, telling, and presenting the truth behind the spectacle with the eyes of the participants.

"Mr. Red Carpet" begins with the bold setting of Liu Weichi’s hidden marriage, and then cuts to an awards ceremony, which does not even use other references. It is directly based on the Hong Kong Film Awards. The anecdotes in front of and behind the stage of the awards ceremony add a layer of authenticity to the story.

After the awards ceremony, Liu Weichi was arranged to shoot short video content to recreate the classic pictures from many years ago. These pictures happened to be the movies starring Andy Lau that year, and.

The film uses the misplaced contrast between reality and drama again and again to bring the audience the first wave of thinking – is this a real story? This curiosity is like a thread, constantly pulling the audience, and using this curiosity to become the viewing emotion of the audience.

As the story progressed, the audience would naturally find that "Mr. Red Carpet" was not a true story, and the mode of curiosity was only the face of the story, and the inside was far from it. Like the opening ceremony, the red carpet was bright, but what about the backstage outside the camera? The difference was even more interesting.

Just imagine, where do these gossips come from?Also misplaced, this time from communication.

In the subsequent stories of the film, this dislocation was all continued, and there was also a lack of authenticity outside the screen. Liu Weichi found the director played by Ning Hao because he had funded the other party’s film in the early years and was successfully recognized by the public.

It was like a wave of "crazy self-deprecation", and before the cooperation between the two began, the communication obviously had creative differences – the director wanted to make a film that catered to the festival, and Liu Weichi wanted to make a film that showed fatherly love.

Although there were contradictions, the cooperation was still going on. At the same time, the mistakes caused by communication were hidden like dark thunder. When these explosive points were opened, there were many hilarious moments.

"Mr. Red Carpet" always uses "Liu Weichi" as the point person. He tries to talk to everyone, but in the end, the "words don’t make sense" of the two sides amplify the absurdity of the process. While director Ning Hao is outside the play, he will reflect and criticize the social reality into these humorous dialogues. Liu Weichi’s helplessness on screen becomes the laughing point of the audience outside the play.

But after the punchline, it was more of a quiet thought – Liu Weichi in the play felt that he had been thinking about the people around him, but in the end he did not please everyone, but was constantly criticized. This is like the state of public survival, he has tried his best to consider everyone, why is it not recognized by everyone?

This was always director Ning Hao’s masterpiece. After "Mr. Red Carpet" made everyone laugh, they found that there were still many problems that had not been solved.

But what is the answer?It doesn’t matter. Every statement is correct.

03. Seek empathy for communication barriers

Now, "Mr. Red Carpet" is about to open to audiences during the Spring Festival, making the film a gift for Ning Hao and Andy Lau. As a form of "elegant comedy", it has become the most unique work in this year’s Spring Festival comedy films.

Especially in recent years, the Spring Festival has become more and more diverse, and the type of theme has long been not limited, but has allowed the audience to choose more. Audiences no longer just watch the superficial story of the film, but also find emotional value between the story and themselves. As a film with "miscommunication" as the lining, it echoes everyone during the Spring Festival.

Returning home during the Chinese New Year would always face the inquiries of the elders, or reunite with old friends whom they had not seen for a long time. But these exchanges were no longer just about recalling the past. Looking at the present, it was inevitable that due to the generation gap or other objective reasons, communication would be incompetent.

But these problems should never become a stumbling block for the holidays. It is better to throw away this "obstacle" and enter the world of "Mr. Red Carpet" to find Liu Weichi’s final balance.

After the absurd frolic, the problems left over from communication are no longer important.

　

　　Zhejiang Satellite TV has created a large-scale public welfare star diving reality show "China Star Jump", and recently officially released its first trailer. As the star coach of star jump, diving prince Tian Liang appeared in the trailer, reappearing the style of "the return of the king", and said that he would take all the players to jump again in April.

　

　　Although the program has not been officially launched, the "devil-like" training led by Tian Liang has started ahead of schedule with the approaching of the competition. Yesterday, Tian Liang met all the contestants for the first time, and trained 10 people in "Point Soldiers on the Battlefield". With such a huge training project, we had to "force" Tian Liang to make a surprise move, "broadcast gymnastics" to warm up, and collectively "play with glutinous rice balls" to test the water, which made the atmosphere at the scene increase sharply. In order to enhance morale, Tian Liang even moved the "champion jump" in the Olympic Games to the training site and demonstrated a difficult 10-meter flip jump for the athletes present, which attracted cheers. All the athletes were excited to say that they "finally saw the champion jump".

　

　　Tian Liang 10-meter demonstration jump kills the audience.

　

　　Chen cursor exclaimed, "I finally saw the champion jump."

　

　　As the first meeting with the students, Tian Liang gave a heavy "meeting ceremony" on the spot-the 10-meter platform flip jump, and the scene switched to the Olympic mode in one second. Although he retired for many years, the chemical reaction between Tian Liang who stood on the 10-meter platform again and the platform was triggered immediately. From jumping to tumbling to entering the water, every movement was flawless and perfect, and immediately the spectators in the audience were killed. The players were stunned and excited. "Finally, I witnessed it with my own eyes." In the trailer of "China Star Jump" released recently, Tian Liang also said that "this is the place where my dream began" and "I will jump again with the contestants". This jump once again proves the strength of the diving prince, and at the same time, it greatly increases the morale of the scene. In the next one-on-one training, Chen cursor can be inspired to volunteer to take the lead in training. Although there are many difficulties in the midway due to physical problems, Biao Ge still encourages himself with his iconic "rustic laughter", and he even turns into a Tian Liang fan and POSE for a photo with the star captain.

　

　　Tian Liang’s own unique training method

　

　　Broadcast Gymnastics Warm-up "Tangyuan" Test Water

　

　　In order to quickly achieve the goal of promoting rookie players to professional players, Tian Liang created a unique training method that day. With a group of players doing "broadcast gymnastics" by the pool to warm up, Tian Liang seems to be a parent. On weekdays, the players with the star aura temporarily crossed into the student days, and in addition to listening carefully, they also tried their best to compete for favor in front of the teachers. Chen cursor’s beer belly made his movements too slow, so he won many personal instructions from Tian Liang, which caused Wen Ya’s dissatisfaction that "the coach is biased". For the 64-year-old cow father, Tian Liang also took good care of him, especially during the exercise, and personally accompanied him in one-on-one practice. Considering that some players are timid and afraid of water, Tian Liang led the players to collectively "dive the glutinous rice balls" to test the water, which set up a psychological guarantee for the timid players. When a group of people shouted for the run-up to the pool, they forgot to be afraid or even forget the pain of being choked and slapped by the water. Although Tian Liang scored one to ten that day, all the trainings were carried out in an orderly way with the original training method and friendly smile, and the results were good. The contestants also said that they had gained a lot and looked forward to the second class in Tian Liang.

　　Red Star Capital Bureau news on November 2nd, 1st, some netizens broke the news in Maimai that NIO (09866.HK/NIO.US) started layoffs, ranging from 10% to 20%, involving multiple departments and positions. Employees certified as NIO Technology (Anhui) Co., Ltd. also confirmed the news on Maimai.

　　However, on the afternoon of November 2, the original post was deleted. NIO told the Red Star Capital Bureau that it had not received relevant information. A number of NIO front-line sales and marketing personnel also said that they had not heard of any layoffs.

　　NIO is hard to break "20,000 car spell"

　　On November 1, car companies disclosed sales in October. Li Auto (02015.HK/LI.US) has sold more than 40,000 vehicles a month; XPeng Motors (09868.HK/XPEV.US), which was once at the bottom, reversed the decline and broke through the 20,000 mark; AITO asked the single model to deliver more than 10,000 vehicles a month, holding 80,000 orders menacing; Zero car (09863.HK), extreme krypton cars have also set a monthly delivery record.

　　NIO delivered 16,000 vehicles in October, an increase of 2.77% month-on-month, still failing to reach the 20,000 mark. Li Bin, chairperson of NIO, previously announced: "Confident that sales will achieve 20,000 vehicles in a single month in the second half of the year". From January to October, NIO delivered a total of 126,000 new vehicles, and the annual delivery target (245,000 vehicles) was just over half.

　　In April and May, sales fell to more than 6,000 vehicles; at the end of May, the new ES6, known as the "hope of the whole village", began to be delivered, and in June NIO deliveries returned to 10,000 vehicles; on June 12, NIO announced a price reduction of 30,000 yuan for all new cars, and deliveries in July soared to 20,000 vehicles; but it fell again in August, and hovered around 16,000 vehicles in September and October.

　　Although there are remedies such as a price reduction of 30,000 yuan and the same price of ET5T and ET5, NIO still cannot escape the "20,000 car curse".

　　26,800 employees in 2022,

　　Over 11.20 billion yuan salary

　　At the end of last year, Li Bin said that "as long as the salary can be issued, it is easy to avoid layoffs." "Maintaining 100% of the people and completing 150% of the work, this should be what we should do."

　　However, in January this year, Li Bin’s letter to all staff mentioned the need to streamline the team. The letter pointed out that the team will continue to expand in 2022, but there are many cases of unclear responsibilities, inconsistent goals, imperfect processes, and repeated construction, and there is still much room for improvement in efficiency.

　　The 2022 annual report shows that NIO has 26,800 employees, ideally 19,400 employees, and Xiaopeng has 15,800 employees.

　　NIO paid more than 11.20 billion yuan in employee compensation in 2022, and if it layoffs 10% -20%, it can save about 11.2-22 40 million yuan.

　　As of June 30 this year, NIO’s cash reserves were 31.50 billion yuan, a decrease of 6.30 billion yuan from the first quarter. In July, NIO completed a $738.50 million strategic equity investment from Abu Dhabi investment institutions. On September 19, NIO announced its intention to issue a $1 billion convertible senior bond.

　　NIO’s material cash requirements due within one year, which mainly include capital commitments, operating and finance lease commitments, short-term and long-term bank borrowings, convertible bonds, and asset-backed securities and bonds, are $19.708 billion.

　　Self-developed chips, operating systems, mobile phones, batteries,

　　"All of it" is expensive

　　In the second quarter, NIO’s net loss was 6.056 billion yuan. According to the delivery volume of 54,600 vehicles in the first half of the year, NIO sold an average car at a loss of 200,000 yuan; the overall gross profit margin fell to 1%, 1.5% in the first quarter, and 13% in the same period last year. Li Bin postponed the break-even date from the fourth quarter of this year by less than one year.

　　In the third quarter, NIO’s sales increased by 135.74% to 55,400 vehicles, but the performance is not optimistic. Although NIO cancelled the free power exchange and reduced the owner’s rights, the remaining expenses are all "hard bones".

　　R & D investment cannot be saved. Smart cars are all about technology, and car companies are not hesitant to invest. NIO’s R & D expenses in the second quarter reached 3.345 billion yuan. Li Bin previously said that the average R & D expenses per quarter in 2023 will remain at 3 billion – 3.50 billion yuan.

　　Supplementary energy system also need to increase investment, which is the core competitiveness of NIO. NIO plans to build a total of more than 2,300 substation in 2023, according to the second generation station 150-2 million yuan construction cost calculation, to invest at least 3.45 billion yuan.

　　Service-related expenses are difficult to reduce. NIO’s positioning is a "user-based enterprise", and the ultimate service is the core of the brand and the competitiveness of differentiation.

　　"NIO wants everything, the stall is too big," Hao Liu, an independent automotive analyst, told Red Star Capital.

　　NIO’s self-developed chip "Yang Jian" was mass-produced in October, with a chip research and development team of 800 people; self-developed vehicle global operating system Tianshu SkyOS; NIO is currently the only new car manufacturer with a self-built mobile phone team, and NIO Phone has been listed.

　　Previously, NIO was also exposed to develop lithium manganese iron phosphate and 4680 batteries, and plans to mass-produce these two batteries to supply NIO (NIO) and its sub-brand Alps.

　　Li Bin mentioned in the third quarter of 2022 earnings call that NIO expects to invest 3 billion-4 billion yuan in sub-brands, batteries, chips, mobile phones and other related businesses in 2023, and will not stop investing in new businesses before the fourth quarter of 2023.

　　Will NIO be China’s future automaker?

　　According to data from the Passenger Federation, the number of passenger car companies in China was 82 by the end of 2022, and 64 by September 2023, a decrease of 18 in nine months.

　　The collapse of Weimar Automobile has sounded the alarm for the industry. Although the official denied the rumors that Chairperson Shen Hui ran overseas, saying that the company is actively saving itself and has not filed for bankruptcy, the fact is that Weimar Automobile has fallen behind in sales since 2022, selling one at a loss, financing difficulties, and the capital chain is broken.

　　Wang Xing, Meituan’s founder, predicted in early 2020: "China’s car companies are basically competing for the next two rounds of the ‘3 + 3 + 3 ‘competition. In addition to three central enterprises, three local state-owned enterprises and three private enterprises, the three new forces are Ideal, NIO and Xiaopeng."

　　This pattern may change, but it is an industry consensus that the number of Chinese automakers will be limited in the future.

　　At the 2023 China Automobile Chongqing Forum, Yin Tongyue, chairperson of Chery Automobile, Ding Lei, chairperson of Gaohe Automobile, Zhu Jiangming, chairperson of Zero Run Automobile, Ma Donghui, president of Li Auto, Yu Chengdong, executive director of Huawei, and Shen Feng, executive vice president of NIO, expressed their views on the future industry structure. They believe that there will be less than 10 Chinese car companies in the future, and maybe even less than or equal to 5.

　　The industry generally believes that 2024 will be the year of life and death for the auto market. Li Bin also said in late 2022 that 2024 is the final stage of the new energy vehicle industry. "We believe we have the qualification to participate in the finals."

　　

Flexible employment is one of the hot topics recently. According to the latest data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, as of the end of 2021, there will be 200 million flexible employment workers in China. Driven by information technology, a large number of new flexible employment needs and opportunities have arisen. Different from the characteristics of traditional employment relationships, all workers who belong to flexible employment relationships are classified as flexible employment workers. In addition to traditional flexible employment forms, with the development of new business formats, they also include a large number of takeaway riders, online car-hailing drivers, e-commerce live streaming hosts, online class teachers and other groups. Due to the flexibility of time, space and salary, these occupations are also increasingly favored by young people. Many college students choose to enter flexible employment platforms after graduation. In response to this group, the national level and the provinces have introduced corresponding support, encouragement and safeguard measures.

Liu Pengfei has been driving for almost 7 years. He goes online at 19 o’clock every day and goes offline at 4 o’clock in the morning. The longest online time is 14 hours. He can earn more than 20,000 yuan a month by working hard. During the Chinese New Year this year, his daily income is more than 1,000 yuan, which is the busiest time of the year.

Liu Pengfei, who had a job in a hospital before, talked about choosing to drive and why he could stick to it for so long. He said he liked this loose freedom, being able to get in touch with all kinds of people, and being able to drive all kinds of cars. "I have also met customers who offered me 30,000 monthly salary and asked me to be a full-time driver, but I refused. I like freedom and freshness."

entry experience

Resign from the hospital to be a substitute driver, the first step to joining the job is to take a road test

Liu Pengfei was born into a military family and was influenced by his father to choose to join the army after graduation. After the army changed his career, he was placed in a hospital in Beijing as an internal service, responsible for security work, and earned a good income. This job, which was considered stable by outsiders and a good unit, was "too comfortable" for Liu Pengfei. He felt that the day-to-day work with no upward path would make him "******". In his 20s, he began to do some side jobs after *** off work.

On the one hand, he chose to work as a substitute driver because he could earn more money, and on the other hand, he did it out of hobby. "Boys like cars. They can drive all kinds of cars and experience different driving feelings, which is very interesting to me."

Liu Pengfei introduced that when he first started working as a chauffeur, the chauffeur was a major offline company, and he needed to call a long time in advance. The master was relatively small, the cost was very high, and he could not receive a few orders a day, which was very expensive for the guests. In 2015, Didi started the chauffeur business and was attracted by the advertising. In August, Liu Pengfei registered for Didi chauffeur. He was the second batch of chauffeur masters on the platform.

If you want to be a chauffeur, the threshold is still relatively high. According to Liu Pengfei, the current entry process is that after the individual registers, the platform has advanced administrative review, confirms that there is no criminal record, no dangerous driving records such as drunk driving and speeding, and then conducts an interview. If you have a large area of tattoos, you will not be able to pass the interview. After passing the interview, you will also have to take the unified driving school road test, similar to the "Subject 2" test, which tests the driver’s proficiency in driving a manual car; after passing the test, you will go to the training service process. "We have regulations on each link from the first sentence we say when receiving the order, to the customer meeting to the boarding service, the start of the journey, and to the end of the order." After all the training, it will take about a week

Liu Pengfei found that with the deepening of people’s awareness of the rule of law, more and more people are called on behalf of the driver, and his income has also increased significantly. Moreover, by taking orders through the Internet, he does not have to worry about not having orders, and because of his good performance and service, he can receive more high-quality orders. In 2017, he quit his job as a hospital editor and dedicated himself to being a driver.

income level

Normally, it is more than 10,000 a month, and the farthest distance is 1200 kilometers.

The family did not know about Liu Pengfei’s resignation until two years later, when his father went directly to the hospital to find him without saying hello, his colleagues leaked the truth. Liu Pengfei said that until now, the family only knew that he was "running Didi" and did not say that he was a driver, because the old man did not understand and always felt that he would come out at night and come into contact with some drunk people, so he did not want them to worry.

"I didn’t think I would do it for so long, but I’m still very willing to continue doing it." Liu Pengfei said that the working hours are free, and he "comes out when he wants to, takes a day off when he wants to, and doesn’t have to clock in to work." And the more work, the better the income.

Liu Pengfei lives in Tongzhou District, Beijing, and every night around 7 o’clock, he will go online in places where orders are concentrated, such as Moon River and 1988 Town in Tongzhou, "because there are many good restaurants in these places, and business banquets are here. This is also our main customer group, because if it is a family dinner, many of them are driven back by the daughter-in-law." Then as the system assigns, he will go to Tongzhou, Beijing City, and even other places in the suburbs of Beijing.

"After working for so many years, I have never cancelled an order for personal reasons. For example, if it is too far away, I will go anywhere. Fangshan, Pinggu, etc., in my eyes, there is no place too far." At around 4 am, with the decrease in orders, Liu Pengfei went offline and rode his electric car back to his home in Tongzhou.

Once, a guest placed a driving order in Harbin, which was the farthest he had ever received, more than 1,200 kilometers. The guest needed to drive two cars back to Harbin as a wedding car, but only one person knew how to drive. The next morning at 7 am, Liu Pengfei drove off and drove to the destination at 10 pm. The whole journey took 13 hours. The guest insisted on buying a plane ticket for him to send him back to Beijing the next morning. Liu Pengfei earned 2,900 yuan for this order.

For drivers, there are obvious seasonal orders in a year, and more orders in winter. The busiest months of the year are the twelfth and first months. "From the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the daily income is more than 1,000 yuan; from the fourth to the sixth day of the first lunar month this year, I earned 3,500 yuan after running for three days." Liu Pengfei said that the income of driving is relatively good. Normally, it is no problem to earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. If it is a little harder, you can get more than 20,000 yuan. "The possibility of more than 30,000 yuan is a little higher on the Internet," Liu Pengfei said with a smile.

Work Story

Be invited to work full-time 30,000 monthly salary

Once bravely helped catch a car thief

As a substitute driver for many years, Liu Pengfei has not only met all kinds of people and driven all kinds of cars, but also encountered all kinds of things, including nobles and madmen.

One night in 2019, Liu Pengfei received a drunken driving order from Tongzhou to Tiantongyuan. He drove normally in the inner lane of the Fifth Ring Road according to the maximum speed limit of 100 kilometers per hour. There was a dispute between two passengers in the back row of the road. One of them was drunk and suddenly opened the door. At that time, there were two large trucks parallel to each other. The large truck in the middle lane almost collided with the large truck in the outer lane in order to avoid their vehicles. Liu Pengfei quickly stopped. "Who knew that after getting out of the car, the male guest who opened the door gave me two hits directly. He also said, ‘Why didn’t you stop if you asked you to stop?’ In fact, he didn’t say to stop me at all." Liu Pengfei said that another guest quickly apologized to him, saying that his friend had drunk too much to make such rude behavior. Liu Pengfei, who is more than 1.8 meters tall and has been a soldier, did not fight back, but just reported to the platform according to the process, called the police, and swallowed the grievance in his stomach. The next day, he accepted the mediation of the police station and refused the compensation of the other party. "He has a good attitude. There were two people the night before. I know he drank too much, forget it."

Another time, Liu Pengfei took an order to Tianjin at 1am. When he arrived in Tianjin, he found that it was raining very heavily there. After parking the car, the guest gave him an umbrella and asked him how to get back. He said he planned to take the first high-speed train back at 5am. After a while, the guest came back and said: "I went back to check, my daughter-in-law is not at home, you can come to my house to make do with the night." Eventually, the guest dragged Liu Pengfei home and cooked two packs of instant noodles. The rainy night was unforgettable to him.

On several occasions, because of Liu Pengfei’s good skills, good service, and discernment, guests asked about his background. When they learned that he had been a soldier and worked as a security guard in a hospital, they directly offered to "come to my company to work as my full-time driver," with the highest monthly salary of 30,000. But Liu Pengfei refused, "It is indeed more stable and high-paying, but I know what the purpose of my work is. I still like this sense of freedom. I can contact different people and take care of my family and children, so I refused."

Once, Liu Pengfei accompanied a fellow team member to the traffic team to deal with violations. With years of professional sensitivity, he saw two sneaky people on the side of the road circling a motorcycle, "I said these two must be thieves, so I parked the car in front of them, and when I saw them turn around and come back, I was basically sure. I dialed 110 directly, and the other party asked me for the specific location and how many thieves there were. During my call, they succeeded. One of them went back to ride their own car, and the other was about to get on the bus and leave. I told the 110 operator directly, I’ll catch it for you! 110 reminded me to do what I can, and if not, just wait for our police to arrive. I was afraid that if they ran away, I would go up with another master and press the thief there. We also checked his pockets to make sure there was no sharp knife or something like that, and then controlled and waited for the police. His accomplices later met and wanted to run, so I went up and dragged him down directly. He may have been scared silly at the time. "Later, they handed the person over to the police who rushed over, and also cooperated with the police station to make a confession. The police station said that he applied to the Chaoyang District Civil Affairs Bureau for a brave and advanced individual. Although he was not elected in the end, Liu Pengfei felt very proud.

Industry transformation

There is a new trend in driving, and the valet goes to the 4S store for maintenance.

Today, Liu Pengfei has become the captain of the driving team. He manages 60 or 70 masters, and the team has 200 people at most. New drivers will ask him if they don’t understand anything, and he will remind everyone to make more money online during peak periods. He also opened the account at Douyin and posted some interesting things he encountered in work and life.

After seven years of driving, Liu Pengfei found that his job had changed. For example, more and more people were doing driving, and the range of orders received was shortened from the previous 3 kilometers to about 1 kilometer now, but there were also many more customers. The people who called the driver were not only drunk, but also had services similar to "errands". For example, if they didn’t have time to go to the 4S store for maintenance, they called the driver to help. They also cooperated with Audi, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, and Toyota stores, and the 4S store would pay to help customers call the driver for maintenance. Some second-hand car dealers would also use the driver to collect the car without delaying other trips.

When it comes to work testimonials, Liu Pengfei said that chauffeur is a real job that can get more work and more money, and as long as you pay, you will get a good return. Of course, pure physical effort cannot completely do the chauffeur work well, but also have a good sense of service and experience accumulation. Of course, there are not easy things in the work. You must be able to withstand waiting, accept bad weather and all kinds of customers. At this time, you must control your emotions and understand them as much as possible from the perspective of customers. You will accumulate regular customers for yourself, and ultimately benefit yourself.
