A notice that the ban on online car-hailing at Pudong Airport has been lifted again, and the matter seems to have come to an end, but some things have been lifted again.
According to The Paper, after the "online car-hailing ban" at Pudong Airport was issued, all online car-hailing platforms were wiped out, but strangely, only one platform called "Airport Travel" can still call a car normally.
The company behind this platform has set up branches in Beijing and Chengdu in January this year, covering the three major cities with dual international airports in China.
It is worth noting that the actual controller behind this company has many companies under his name, and the company's business is surprisingly consistent, basically all of them are airport cars.
Some netizens called this actual controller the "Zhang Hezi" in the online car-hailing industry, and the energy is indeed not small at present.
Originally, I thought that this ban was to protect taxi operations, but after doing it for a long time, I found that it didn't seem to have anything to do with taxis, and "nuclear" was the real boss behind the scenes.
According to the information of Tianyancha, the operating company of "Airport Travel" is Airport (Shanghai) Automobile Service*** This company was just established in January this year, and the person in charge is named Zheng Xiuli.
According to the equity penetration of Tianyancha, the company's wholly-owned parent company is Shanghai Airport Tourism Service *** Shanghai Airport Tourism Service *** 9992% of the equity is owned by Shanghai Xinjiaogang Industrial Co., Ltd.; And 90% of the shares of Xinjiaogang Industry are in the hands of Boss Zheng, a natural person.
Seeing so many company names and complex relationships, is it a little dizzy, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is nested layer by layer, but the actual controller points to Boss Zheng.
Boss Zheng's business is not limited to Shanghai, his Shanghai Airport Tourism Service also holds 100% of a company called Airport (Shanghai) Technology.
The airport (Shanghai) technology has invested in five car rental companies with similar names in Hangzhou, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Guiyang, and the legal representative is Zheng.
This can't help but make people frightened, if it weren't for the relatively big commotion in Shanghai this time, Boss Zheng's business may have quickly covered the whole country.
It is worth noting that since October 2018, the Shanghai Airport Tourism Service actually controlled by Boss Zheng has been recognized by the Shanghai Changning District People's Court as a restricted high-consumption enterprise, in other words, the company has a high probability of still owing debts, so it has been on the court's "blacklist".
It's puzzling that such a company could work with Pudong Airport and bypass the ride-hailing ban.
Airport Travel" has also attracted widespread attention for its outrageous **.
It can be seen on the official website of Airport Travel that the company's positioning is mid-to-high-end services, and the vehicles provided include official cars, commercial vehicles, luxury cars, luxury cars, etc.
Since it is positioned in the middle and high-end, it is natural to match it, how about airport travel?
According to a report by Southern Weekly, airport travel can choose from 5-seat comfort, 6-seat business and 6-seat luxury cars, priced at a fixed price within 60 kilometers, with the first two models costing 360 yuan and luxury cars costing 420 yuan.
Some people may ask, Shanghai is not cheap, 60 kilometers 360 yuan is not expensive? Not really.
If we take an ordinary taxi as a calculation, the ** of 60 kilometers is basically about 177 yuan, and the ** of online car-hailing is basically within 100 yuan.
Also as an online car-hailing service, airport travel is basically about 3 times that of ordinary online car-hailing**.
Of course, there are reasons why people are expensive, and a reporter called customer service as a passenger, and the customer service replied, "We are not online car-hailing, we are close to the housekeeper." ”
Well, if the ban on online car-hailing is not lifted, and Pudong Airport only has a butler platform called Airport Travel, then in the face of 360 yuan, consumers can only pinch their noses and enjoy the butler.
And currently during the Spring Festival, the capacity of the airport is relatively tight, and it is difficult to meet the needs of consumers by taxis alone.
So why at this point in time, there is such a ban on other online car-hailing, you can guess for yourself.
According to the ** report, Wu Xuecheng, deputy director of the Passenger Transport Department of the Shanghai Municipal Road Transport Administration, explained to ** that this ban is not a new regulation, but the content that has long existed in the "Several Regulations on the Management of Online Taxi Reservation Services in Shanghai" implemented in Shanghai in 2016, and now it is just to take out the old regulations and reiterate them.
And Director Wu said that the ban on online car-hailing at Pudong Airport is mainly to protect the interests of taxis.
Let's talk about this regulation first, it was issued in 2016, and online car-hailing was basically a new thing in 2016, and many places did have restrictions on online car-hailing at that time.
However, 8 years have passed, and online car-hailing has long matured in terms of technology and service, and has become an indispensable part of everyone's travel.
At this time, taking out the regulations of 8 years ago and reiterating, is it a bit of a carving boat for a sword?
Let's take a look at the so-called ban on online car-hailing to protect the interests of taxis.
The so-called business grabbing is actually not a problem for a long time, and the rough cars have basically entered the platform a long time ago, and consumers can choose according to their preferences on the platform.
And after entering the platform, taxis can also enjoy the convenience of online booking services, which is not a bad thing for taxis.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Pudong Airport is really special and needs to ban online car-hailing, should all platforms be shut down? Instead of shutting down the parity platform and leaving only one ** platform?
Of course, the ban on ride-hailing at Pudong Airport was lifted five days after it was introduced, which proves that the voice of the people and the public are still respected.
But. In the context of the current vigorous development of the economy, the policy of "5-day tours" like this is still as few as possible.
Finally, put a "nuclear" picture town post, and ask the platform not to delete the article.
