“Northeast China” has always been a topic and area for Internet users to talk about for a long time. The humorous cells and eloquence of Northeast people have also deeply imprinted themselves, but at the same time, Northeast China is also considered to be There is something missing in the Internet field. Few unicorn companies and well-known Internet giants.
In the summer of 2019, an article entitled “Northeast Jinzhou, No Online Car Booking” swept through the circle of friends.
In the article, a local taxi driver in Jinzhou proudly said to him: “We have squeezed out all the online taxis. Tracking, containment, disguise … all the methods available will be used. Only Overnight they will disappear. “
At the end of the article, the author wrote: “The lack of talent, capital, innovation, and entrepreneurial mechanisms still restricts the development of Jinzhou’s new economic industry.”
In recent years, as a new business mode of transportation, online ride-sharing has completely changed people’s travel concept. There is also some news that the monthly income of online ride-hailing drivers is against the sky. However, “Northeast Jinzhou, No Online Car Rental” has raised concerns about the ecology of Northeast online car rental. Is it true that a monthly income of 10,000 yuan? Is it acceptable to work longer than 10 hours? Really threatened by taxi driver intimidation? With such a question, Tencent Technology talked to three ride-hailing practitioners from Northeast China to see how their real status quo is.

12 hours a day, can receive up to 20 orders
Although I have n’t been a driver for a long time as an Internet rider, I know that the new thing about “Internet rider” is four years ago.
Unintentionally, I saw from the news that someone could drive a car for a ride for eight thousand yuan, or even tens of thousands. The first reaction to me is that this is too exaggerated! In this place in the Northeast, let alone eight thousand, you earn five to six thousand a month, and that income is quite considerable.
I did n’t “go to the sea” for the first time to do a ride-hailing, but now I feel a little regretful. It’s been about two and a half years since I started driving a car on the Internet. Every morning, I get out of the car at 6 o’clock. I can run for about 12 hours a day, and can get up to 20 orders a day.
But this should be considered the best time of luck, basically one by one, and there is almost no rest in the middle. Of course, the day after I left the car after breakfast, I didn’t drip.
Revenue and hardship are basically proportional. I earn 88,000 a month and I’m writing this time.
Don’t look at my car for 12 hours a day, but from the perspective of income, I think it is basically proportional to the level of hard work. Before I made a car appointment, I was most afraid of getting up early, and we were located in the Northeast. Getting up early in the winter was “difficult and difficult.” To ease it a bit.
After making an online appointment, it is absolutely impossible to get out of the car at 6 o’clock, because you have to catch the first wave of car use in the morning. At 5-7pm in the evening, there was another rush hour. I was basically afraid to drink water during this time. Especially in the downtown area, finding a parking space and going to the toilet can take you more than half an hour. Everyone wants to run faster during the peak period and earn platform subsidy rewards, so in this time period you can deeply appreciate that “time is money”.
I did a full-time Didi car for two years. I can run 15 ~ 20 orders a day, and then calculate the platform subsidies and rewards. The monthly income is about 8000 ~ 10000 yuan. Although running Didi is a hard work, I feel that my income and return are worthy of my own hard work, and I should continue toThis line goes on.
Serving tens of thousands of passengers, my mentality is getting better and better
Perhaps it is a characteristic of Northeast China. “Hurrying to get angry” is the true state of me one month before I first started a ride. Anxious if I ca n’t get the order, I ’m afraid the passengers are waiting for a long time, I ’m afraid I ca n’t get the passengers to the destination as soon as possible …
With more and more passengers, now more than tens of thousands of orders, in the past year and a half I slowly adjusted my mentality, think more about transposition, think more about passengers, you will suddenly find passengers Will change. Thank you to each other, it makes you feel very warm.

More and more full-time drivers, more value is time freedom
Especially in Shenyang in the Northeast, more than 60% are full-time online taxi drivers. Some part-time drivers who have so-called jobs have joined the full-time ranks after a year and a half, because they feel that full-time drivers are more profitable. .
I chose to make a ride on the Internet because it is free time, more work, and pay is directly proportional to income. The working environment is relatively decent, and invisible contact with people from all walks of life can improve their survivability and skills.
It ’s important to be compliant before you hit the road, and many taxi drivers are joining in.
In Shenyang, a large portion of online car hires are legalized. Drivers who hold dual licenses and do not have one of them (personal identification is basically there, most private cars do not have a license) will be checked by the transportation management department. Deduct, issue a fine. Traffic police usually do not seize network-bound cars, unless traffic police block the car unless joint law enforcement, but this is rare.
It can be said that the network of taxis has become popular in Shenyang and accepted by everyone, and a considerable number of taxi drivers have joined them. The convenience, sanitation, service, and word-of-mouth of online car hire have been recognized by the people. In fact, it can be seen from this point that taxi drivers do not feel that they are hostile to us, they are also trying to find ways to integrate into this ecology.
The most severe crimes in winter when driving out of the car.
For the driver who runs a car in Northeast China, the biggest “enemy” is the cold in winter. In the morning, I got out of the warm blanket and drew it into an “ice cellar” car. It’s called an “unforgettable heart”.
In addition to freezing hands and feet, driving in the Northeast in winter is also a technical task, especially after snowfall. Running in the urban area is slightly better, the municipal council will spray snowmelt in advance when it is not bright. The most terrible thing is to run in the outskirts, you must focus on twelve minutes of energy. Don’t look at the number of cars less than the urban area, but the road conditions are more complicated and dangerous.
I generally control the vehicle speed to a low speed, and the engine brakes as the brake. Because the brakes are easy to deviate from the course, side slip occurs, and an accident is caused. I’ll just drive myself, but at this time I’m pulling passengers.
Therefore, snail driving is not one of the safest methods, because even a master can’t resist sudden changes in road conditions. A car that does n’t have a manual gearshift button on an ice-snow road is the most disadvantaged. It ca n’t climb a slope, and it ca n’t climb a very small slope.
I am more and more helpful, and I have forgotten the year with my passengers
I remember a male passenger taking a taxi. We were all the way across the sea. We just passed an intersection and happened to see an aunt pushing an uncle in a wheelchair uphill. If she was not careful, the uncle might be too heavy, and the car fell over. Everyone was a little overwhelmed at the time. I was on the spot and I stopped the car immediately and rushed out without thinking. Almost at the same time, the male passenger in the car also rushed out, and the two of us agreed to help the old man up and push it to the aunt. The aunt even thanked him and even brought the uncle with his hands.
On another occasion, an old couple was riding in my car and we had a good conversation along the way. During the conversation, I learned that the old gentleman had more than seventy, and even he and I had served in the same army. We belonged to our comrades in arms.
