Chen Guangbiao smashed a Mercedes-Benz in public and called for a gasoline price increase. On September 16, Jiangsu Huangpu Recycling Resources Utilization Co., Ltd. held an "Employee Car-Free Day" event. The picture shows Chairman Chen Guangbiao leading employees to take an environmental oath. In response to the "China City Car-Free Day" event on September 22, Jiangsu Huangpu Recycling Resources Utilization Co., Ltd. held an "Employee Car-Free Day event" on September 16. On the day of the event, Chairman Chen Guangbiao purchased more than 200 bicycles for all employees, personally led employees to ride bicycles to and from get off work, and took to the streets to use practical actions to call for and promote the environmental protection concept of "vigorously developing public transportation and vigorously promoting low-carbon and green travel." In order to encourage everyone to travel in a low-carbon and green way, Chairman Chen Guangbiao announced on the same day: If our employees ride bicycles to work, they will receive a monthly subsidy of 300 yuan for those within 5 kilometers, and a monthly subsidy of 600 yuan for those who travel within 10 kilometers. At the same time, each reporter who came to interview on the day will be given a bicycle, so that everyone can personally experience and integrate into such a meaningful urban car-free day activity. "The concept of environmental protection is based on action. I suggest that entrepreneur friends should not buy large-displacement cars, and even if they do, try to drive less." "On the day of the event, in order to promote the concept of "energy conservation, environmental protection, and benefit for future generations" and the use of less large-displacement cars, Chen Guangbiao personally destroyed one of his own large-displacement cars that would be scrapped in three years. He also requested that all the company's official vehicles be sealed on that day. At the end of the event, Chen Guangbiao also suggested: increase the oil price by 50%, charge parking fees at 10 to 20 yuan per hour, and charge vehicle registration fees of 100,000 yuan for vehicles with a displacement of less than 2.0, 300,000 for vehicles with a displacement of 2.0 to 3.0, and 300,000 for vehicles with a displacement of 3.0 to 4.0. 400,000 for vehicles with a displacement of 4.0 and above, and a license fee of 500,000 to 800,000 for vehicles with an engine displacement of 4.0 and above. The funds will be used to develop public transportation to a higher level and narrow the gap between the rich and the poor. Only in this way can we encourage everyone to "drive less and ride more" and practice the concept of green environmental protection.
