In the fight against the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, a businessman from Langzhong, Sichuan Province, who has the courage to assume social responsibility, still supports the fight against the epidemic by donating taxi charging service fees and purchasing 50,000 masks in the face of corporate losses.
He is Liao Yuxuan, co-president of Sichuan Merchants Association and chairman of Shenzhen Xili Technology Co., Ltd. In the face of an interview with a Red Star News reporter, he said that if the business of the enterprise fails, it can start again, and the country has difficulties, and everyone should stand up.
"In the current period when the people of the whole country are fighting against the epidemic, the drivers of the taxi industry in our city are sticking to their posts and providing the necessary travel guarantee services for the general public." But with fewer passengers and a sharp drop in revenue, the industry is facing unprecedented difficulties. Your company waives the February taxi charging service fee at this critical time, which relieves the difficulties of taxi drivers to a certain extent, reflects the spirit of fraternity and support of one party and the support of eight parties, and the responsibility of working together to overcome difficulties together! ”
On the afternoon of February 6, Liao received a letter of thanks from the Shenzhen Taxi Association, which expressed gratitude and respect on behalf of 63 enterprises and more than 40,000 drivers in the taxi industry in Shenzhen.
"At present, enterprises must have responsibilities and responsibilities, and everyone can work together to overcome difficulties." After reading the letter, Liao Yu said with emotion. According to him, his company's Buji Xili charging station is located in Luohu District, Shenzhen, which can accommodate up to 340 cars charging at the same time, and can provide charging services for more than 3,000 cars per day. From today to February 29, all taxis in Shenzhen will not be charged charging service fees to the above charging stations.

Liao Told Red Star News that from the perspective of the law of charging, the peak period of charging is from 12:00 noon to 6:00 pm and 1:00 am to 6:00 am every day. According to estimates, the charging service fee received per car per day is about 40 to 50 yuan, the charging service fee for a car per month is 1200 yuan to 1500 yuan, and the charging service fee for 3000 cars a month is 3.6 million to 4.5 million. In other words, in order to fight the epidemic, he is equivalent to donating 3.6 million to 4.5 million yuan in taxi charging service fees.
"Let's try to see if the epidemic situation still does not improve, the period of exemption from charging service fees will continue to be extended." Liao Yu said.
In addition, in order to support the fight against the epidemic, Liao Yuxuan also contacted a number of mask manufacturers before the Spring Festival, and finally contacted one so far, and ordered 50,000 masks. "It's in production now and it's expected to be produced in two weeks, when we'll donate to sanitation workers." At the same time, Liao Yuyu said that if wuhan needs masks, he will do everything he can to support them.
However, no one knows that behind his continuous public welfare is the company's current loss situation.

"We had planned to recover the cost within two years, but in the face of this outbreak, the plan may be postponed." Liao Yuxuan calculated an account for the Red Star News reporter: the company's rent is about 500,000 to 600,000 per month, and the wages of more than 30 workers are about 350,000, and the company's main income is based on charging service fees. "Since it was put into operation in May last year, our company has been losing money."
However, Liao Saidu said, "The country has difficulties, and we must stand up bravely." He said that only when the country is good, the small family will get better, "I believe that as long as the epidemic is defeated, our enterprises and more enterprises will be better." Liao believes that the epidemic is temporary and will eventually be defeated.
