Recently, Meng Yutong, a female secretary in Dong Mingzhu, started to bring goods. On November 29th, "Dong Mingzhu’s 22-year-old secretary was a signing star of MCN" ranked first in the hot search in Weibo, and Meng Yutong responded that he did join the MCN guild, but did not participate in any incubation, operation and liquidation of the organization.

In the face of the business dilemma of declining performance and little effect of diversified business, Gree has few choices at present. From Dong Mingzhu’s high-profile live broadcast with goods to Meng Yutong’s becoming a network celebrity and shooting videos with goods, it is the performance of Gree’s promotion of channel reform.

"Gree can’t sell, and it’s not an anchor that can increase sales." Li Liqiang, a city-level dealer in a province of Gree, said that the sales volume of Gree has declined in the past three years, and the pressure has passed down. Now, dealers can only earn 100 yuan by selling a Gree air conditioner, with more fines and deductions, and many dealers quit.

Chen Fan, a county-level dealer of Gree Hubei, revealed that he had been forced to pay attention to the "Gree Electric" Tik Tok. At the same time, there are rumors on social networks that dealers are forced to pay attention to Gree live broadcast and place orders. However, Gree told Time Finance that the rumors were not credible.

Female secretary became popular, Gree applied for trademark.

Dong Mingzhu took a fancy to participating in variety shows in April, and after half a year, Meng Yu became a child. Due to the news of MCN organization and Gree’s application for the trademark of "Pearl Feather Boy", on November 29th, her three related topics were listed in Weibo Hot Search.

On November 28th, the relevant person in charge of the head MCN organization Worry-Free Media told the media that Meng Yutong was a signing artist of the company. The next afternoon, Meng Yutong sent a message to Weibo, saying that he did participate in the Worry-Free Media Association, but he did not participate in any incubation, operation and liquidation of the organization. He was a variety show "We Beginners in the Workplace" as an amateur female college student.

In contrast, Gree is more like incubating Meng Yutong. As of the evening of November 30th, the "Pearl Feather Boy Selection" Tik Tok had updated seven videos, all of which were presented by Meng Yutong alone to explain Gree products.

According to the data, as of 22: 00 pm on November 30th, the "Pearl Feather Boy Selection" Tik Tok had more than 100,000 fans, with nearly 60,000 likes, and there were 60 items in the associated store "GREE Small Appliances Flagship Store".

Gree told Time Finance that the company registered the "Pearl Feather Selection" Tik Tok, hoping to let consumers know about Gree’s small household appliances through one more channel, and at the same time carry out live broadcast with goods.

For Meng Yutong, Gree said that she is still performing the duties of the secretary of the chairman. "Although we have some publicity activities to invite her to join us at present, it is also based on the company’s planning and Yutong’s personal wishes."

According to Sky Eye Survey, a few days ago, Zhuhai Gree Electric Co., Ltd. applied to register a number of trademarks of "Mingzhu Yutong", "Meng Yutong" and "Yutong", thus adding more than 80 items of trademark information, including advertising sales, website services and medical devices.

At present, all the above trademarks are under application. Gree said in an interview with Time Finance that all trademark applications are based on the company’s strategy and brand image.

The air-conditioning market is in a downturn, and Gree promotes channel reform.

Meng Yutong took a video to bring goods to Gree, avoiding air conditioning, which was related to the downturn in the air conditioning market since 2019.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, in 2020, China’s air-conditioning output was 210 million units, down 3.8% year-on-year. According to Aoweiyun. com, in the third quarter of this year, the sales volume of China’s air-conditioning retail market was 11.39 million units, down 10.1% year-on-year, and the sales volume was 37.4 billion yuan, down 4.3% year-on-year.

Gree’s revenue is highly dependent on air conditioning. In 2020 and the first half of 2021, air conditioners generated more than 70% revenue for Gree.

In 2019, 2020 and the third quarter of this year, Gree’s revenue was 198.153 billion yuan, 168.199 billion yuan and 47.083 billion yuan, up by 0.02%, -15.12% and -16.50% respectively. In the same period, its net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies decreased by 5.75% and 10.5% respectively.

In the case of a sharp decline in performance, Dong Mingzhu began to promote channel reform. In April last year, she started live delivery on behalf of Gree. Since then, "Gree Dong Mingzhu Store" has been opened in various places, adopting a new mode of "online ordering+offline experience".

Chen Fan and Zheng Weiguo, Guangdong township distributor of Gree, told Time Finance that Gree had forced them to pay attention to the "Gree Electric" Tik Tok in April last year.

Another dealer told the media that since 2019, Gree has gradually cancelled various provincial distributors to reduce intermediate links. Li Liqiang told Time Finance that Gree had indeed revoked its provincial distributors, and now it is directly under Gree’s control.

In June last year, shortly after Dong Mingzhu started the live broadcast of goods, Hebei Jinghai Guarantee Investment Co., Ltd., composed of several provincial distributors of Gree, announced that it would reduce its holdings, accounting for 0.71% of the total share capital of listed companies.

Gree’s series of reform measures have not been recognized by the market. From the stock price, since April this year, Gree Electric’s monthly K-line chart has been 8 consecutive days. As of November 30, Gree closed at 34.56 yuan/share, down more than 40% from the closing price of 59.73 yuan/share on April 1, and its total market value was 204.4 billion yuan, nearly 270 billion yuan less than that in the United States.

Loss of dealers: high-end can’t sell, low-end dare not sell.

Time Finance found that Gree’s live broadcast with goods has limited influence on small and medium-sized dealers, but its strict delivery policy and sales mode of goods after payment are more troublesome. Especially in the case that the air-conditioning market is in a downturn and e-commerce attacks offline stores, the situation is even more severe.

Zheng Weiguo said that e-commerce has dealt a particularly heavy blow to offline stores. Gree has an online dedicated machine, which is very cheap but can’t be obtained by dealers. He once bought such a machine through "selling goods" and found that the configuration is different from that of offline stores. "Even if some of our machines are cheaper than online, consumers are not used to shopping on the streets."

Zheng Weiguo has been selling Gree’s electrical appliances for five years. At first, he was a Gree store. Later, in order to survive, he mixed other brands, including Midea and Haier. "The live broadcast is none of my business. If Gree can’t sell it, go and sell other brands."

He revealed that selling other brands is almost the same as Gree’s, but Gree can’t pick up the goods, and the low-end goods of other brands can be mentioned casually. Gree’s low-end goods must be matched with high-end goods. To get a machine with a price of 2,000 yuan, it must be matched with machines with a price of more than 3,000 yuan. The consumption level in towns and villages is low, and high-end machines are not easy to sell. You can only sell low-end machines less. The more you sell, the more you press.

"This summer, Gree, Haier and Midea sold more than 100 air conditioners. If Gree’s low-end machines pick up the goods at will, the sales volume can double." Zheng Weiguo said that many dealers have quit because of Gree’s delivery policy.

According to the documents provided by a dealer, from June 11th to 17th this year, in order to improve the market competitiveness, Gree increased the retail delivery ratio of Tianli’s three-level energy-efficient hanging machine from 10% to 20%. On an e-commerce platform, the unit price of Gree’s air conditioner is about 2,500 yuan.

Fang Gang, a distributor of Gree Hebei, said that instead of making money in the past two years, Gree has lost money, because it pays money first and then produces, requiring dealers to pay for the goods in advance, and there are sales tasks, so there is no rebate if the tasks are not completed, which leads to the loss of dealers.

"Curry’s high-end machines can’t be sold, and many old stocks have to be sold at a loss." Fang Gang said that if there is no rebate, the high-end machine will definitely lose money when it gets to the store.

However, Chen Fan disagreed with Zheng Weiguo and Fang Gang that Gree’s high-end machines are not easy to sell. He said that high-end machines are resources that can compete with online. But like them, Chen Fan also thinks that Gree dealers are decreasing, because "high-level thinking is one out".

Gree has lost its position as the "domestic air-conditioning industry leader". The report shows that in 2020 and the first half of 2021, Gree’s air-conditioning business revenue was 117.88 billion yuan and 67.194 billion yuan respectively, while Midea’s air-conditioning business revenue was 121.22 billion yuan and 76.408 billion yuan respectively.

Regarding the problems pointed out by the above dealers, Gree told Time Finance that at present, the company is reforming the offline mode, and the dealers basically take delivery as much as they sell, which is also the reason for the decline in performance in the third quarter of this year. Gree did not respond to questions related to the delivery ratio policy.

Dong Mingzhu’s 22-year-old female secretary became popular. Teacher of Zhejiang University: She is excellent and not in short supply.

Recently, Dong Mingzhu introduced her 22-year-old female secretary Meng Yutong to the media at an event and bluntly said: "I hope she can be by my side, and I want to cultivate her into a second Dong Mingzhu."

The plot of this TV series quickly screened the network and won the praise of millions of netizens. Many netizens are curious: Who is Meng Yutong? What strength does a 22-year-old girl have that can make Dong Mingzhu, the boss of a billion-dollar enterprise, focus on training?

The fate of Meng Yutong and Dong Mingzhu began with a reality show in the workplace. In early 2021, Dong Mingzhu joined a reality show in the workplace, and Meng Yutong was one of the six newcomers in the workplace. In the end, Meng Yutong stood out among the three candidates with excellent comprehensive quality and professional ability, and got the offer from Dong Mingzhu.

For the recent popularity and the attention of netizens, Meng Yutong responded through Weibo on the afternoon of November 11th, and he was very scared. When he met such an opportunity, he could only say that he was very lucky. "I am just an ordinary girl and a migrant worker, and I know that I have many shortcomings. Thank you very much for giving me pertinent opinions and suggestions."

Meng Yutong himself is very low-key. He doesn’t want to be interviewed by the media at present, but just wants to do the current thing well. As a graduate of Zhejiang University, what are the stories of Meng Yutong’s college life? Qianjiang evening news Hour reporter connected several of her classmates and teachers. In their impression, Meng Yutong’s energy seems to be always so vigorous that he can shine whenever and wherever.

How did she get Dong Mingzhu’s offer?

"Harder than others, very active personality, strong learning response ability"

Meng Yutong is a native of Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province. She just graduated from Zhejiang University in June this year, majoring in foreign languages. She was famous when she first entered the university, and once appeared in the program "One Stop to the End" in her sophomore year.

In the reality show "We Beginners in the Workplace", Dong Mingzhu personally went into battle to interview interns. Although Meng Yutong’s major is not right, and she has no particularly brilliant experience, she has done her homework in a down-to-earth manner and expounded her understanding and understanding of marketing during the interview, which made Dong Mingzhu see her efforts and sincerity.

Later, Meng Yutong dared to show herself very much. She compared herself to a "Yuanyang hot pot", with a warm side and a steady and rational side. In order to show his enthusiasm, Meng Yutong performed a women’s group dance on the spot, turning the enterprise interview scene into a 101 draft stage.

This operation successfully attracted Dong Mingzhu’s attention: "This is the kind of person I want, and this is the most valuable." Dong Mingzhu praised this behavior, "The interview is to show yourself. A girl who dares to dance on the occasion of an interview can see her personality very well. "

Dong Mingzhu also gave Meng Yutong a low score, but in fact she did it on purpose. Because I appreciate Meng Yutong, I care more about tempering her and want to see if her inner world is strong enough.

Meng Yutong lived up to expectations, quickly adjusted his mentality, and became more and more brave. In Dong Mingzhu’s words: Meng Yutong is a girl with a strong heart. When she does something, she must do her best, which is very similar to her when she was young.

In the program, Meng Yutong went through all kinds of workplace tests, but she always faced the challenges with positive struggle and finally achieved gorgeous self-transformation.

Meng Yutong’s bright spot was appreciated by Dong Mingzhu: "Your greatest competitiveness is that you can bear hardships more than others, have a very active personality and have a strong learning response ability."

At the end of the program, Dong Mingzhu was even more astounding. She praised Meng Yutong on the spot, which met the standards of future successors of the enterprise and promised to provide them with a fast track to accelerate their growth. "I agree with her quality, and I hope that the future successors of the enterprise can be people like her."

How do Zhejiang University teachers and classmates evaluate it?

"She is very hardworking and energetic, and will make every effort for the goal."

Several of her classmates and teachers also talked about their impressions of Meng Yutong.

Meng Yutong is a member of Zhejiang University Wenqin Dance Company. Xiao Qiu first met Meng Yutong in a line dance class. As the group leader, Meng Yutong led the whole team to compile a set of complicated dances and formations. "Their homework is the most difficult." Xiaoqiu recalled that Meng Yutong later joined the Wenqin Dance Company and boarded various large-scale stages.

Zuo Shiyu, the head of the Wenqin Dance Company at that time, recalled that Meng Yutong was very hard when he entered the dance company. "At that time, she was also in the literature and art department of the student union. She usually had to practice dancing with us. It should be very busy, but she weighed the time very well. Not only did she not delay the working hours of either party, but she also completed every task very well." Zuo Shiyu said, "She really loves dancing."

One thing impressed Zuo Shiyu deeply. During the National Day training, the instructor hoped that the dance troupe would send some tweets and videos. As a result, Meng Yutong was responsible for shooting and editing. "I feel that her energy is particularly strong and she feels like a flower."

"She is the kind of girl who is good enough to shine everywhere." The ball said, because he can dance again and get good grades, the ball once thought that such students might be a little arrogant and inaccessible. However, the ball really became familiar with Meng Yutong, only to find that she was very modest and gentle with her friends, which was completely different from Meng Yutong she had thought.

Xiao Qiu thinks that Meng Yutong is the kind of person who is extremely determined, knows what he wants, and will make every effort to achieve his goal. After entering the internship stage, even though he loved dancing so much, Meng Yutong decided to quit the Wenqin Dance Company and devote himself wholeheartedly to the internship.

Meng Yutong had a summer internship in an Internet factory and successfully got an offer. "She also considered studying abroad before, and said it on the show. It is said that she also got an offer." The ball said.

"She deserves to go higher." Guo Hong, a cheerleading teacher of Meng Yutong, said that in the cheerleading intermediate class, all the students who can choose courses are students with a certain dance foundation, and Meng Yutong still undertakes the work of the group leader with the heaviest choreography work. "In the end, the dance presents a Chinese style+flowers, and the overall movements are also very smooth." Guo Hong felt that Meng Yutong, once he promised to complete the task, would be responsible for the end, and he did it beautifully.

"A beautiful and excellent girl like Meng Yutong is certainly not lacking in people around her, but she thinks very clearly and knows what she wants and doesn’t want, so I think she can go higher." Guo Hong concluded.

　　In the future, the whole world needs at least two sets of underlying systems. Once trust is lost, it is almost impossible to build it again. The beginning of American high-tech enterprises losing their monopoly advantage on the underlying system platform.

　　"In the future, the whole world needs at least two sets of underlying systems. Once trust is lost, it is almost impossible to build it again. American high-tech enterprises began to lose their monopoly advantage on the underlying system platform. " After watching the Huawei Global Developers Conference, a developer wrote this sentence on social media, and on this day, Huawei officially released the "HarmonyOS System".

　　On the afternoon of August 9th, Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business and managing director of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd., officially unveiled the "final veil" for HarmonyOS in Dongguan. He said that this is the world’s first full-scene distributed OS based on microkernel, and its English name is harmony, which is a future-oriented operating system.

　　According to Yu Chengdong, the micro-kernel HarmonyOS system has been commercialized and will take the lead in using HarmonyOS OS 1.0 in the smart screen products launched this year. In the next three years, in addition to improving related technologies, HarmonyOS OS will be gradually applied to more intelligent devices such as wearable devices, smart screens and car machines.

　　"Every year, the terminal sells 300 million to 400 million terminals, and there are more than 200 million mobile phones. Compared with other manufacturers, we have the advantage of creating ecology." Yu Chengdong told reporters including CBN that the original plan was to release (HarmonyOS) next spring, but now he can only force himself to give full play to his ability. At present, the investment of R&D personnel in HarmonyOS is about 4,000, close to 5,000.

　　Mobile phone sales originally hit the top in the world.

　　Yu Chengdong mentioned in his speech that in the past eight years, the sales volume of Huawei’s consumer business has increased by 68 times, and it has become one of the top three suppliers of intelligent terminals from small and medium-sized manufacturers that can’t rank. Last year, the shipment volume of mobile phones reached 206 million units.

　　In the first half of this year, in the case of US sanctions, in Huawei’s consumer business, mobile phone shipments still maintained a 24% growth, reaching 118 million units, with 60 million units per quarter.

　　Yu Chengdong said that because of the sanctions, there were 10 million fewer units in the second quarter. "If there are no sanctions, I estimate that our shipments will be the highest in the world this year. In the case of sanctions, we still maintain rapid growth. " Yu Chengdong said, "Our market share has exceeded 35% in China, and the global market share has risen to 17.6%."

　　According to Huawei’s semi-annual report on Huawei’s performance in 2019, in the first half of this year, Huawei achieved sales revenue of 401.3 billion RMB, up 23.2% year-on-year and a net profit margin of 8.7%. Among them, the operator’s business income was 146.5 billion yuan, the enterprise business was 31.6 billion yuan, and the consumer business was 220.8 billion yuan. Huawei’s smartphone shipments (including glory) reached 118 million units, a year-on-year increase of 24%.

　　"The original global shipment was expected to be 300 million units, and now it is expected to be about 240 million units. Since June last year, overseas has surpassed the China market (sales volume). " Yu Chengdong told reporters that at present, 70% to 80% of overseas markets have recovered.

　　Maximum loophole

　　"Before May, Huawei’s revenue grew rapidly, ‘ Entity list’, because of the existence of market inertia, it has also achieved growth. However, Huawei still faces great difficulties. We need to invest a lot of manpower and material resources in version switching, supply continuity management, and ensuring delivery to global customers, which may have an impact on our future business performance. At the semi-annual media communication meeting on July 30th, Liang Hua, chairman of Huawei, said that just like that "rotten plane", Huawei still needs to continue to "patch up the hole".

　　Liang Hua said that at present, operators’ business has basically been "supplemented", and now the focus is on "filling the hole" in consumer business, and they still have to struggle for "survival".

　　When asked what is the biggest loophole in consumer business, Yu Chengdong replied without hesitation, "It is ecology. The ecology established by Android and Microsoft is the most difficult, but HarmonyOS can solve this problem."

　　Yu Chengdong said that HarmonyOS version 2.0 will be released next year, and version 3.0 the year after next, and HarmonyOS system will be first used in the glory smart screen.

　　"HarmonyOS OS can be used in watches and bracelets. Everyone asks me if I can use my mobile phone. I can use it at any time. In order to consider ecological reasons, Android is preferred. If Android can’t be used, HarmonyOS can be enabled at any time. HarmonyOS OS has stronger performance and security than Android. Distributed ability and full scene ability." Yu Chengdong said that we have moved from the Android ecosystem to HarmonyOS, and the development work is very, very small, which can be completed in one day or two, because HarmonyOS can achieve compatibility.

　　"With the advent of the era of full-scenario wisdom, Huawei believes that it is necessary to further improve the cross-platform capabilities of the operating system, including the ability to support full-scenario, cross-devices and platforms, and the ability to cope with low latency and high security challenges. Therefore, the prototype of HarmonyOS OS has gradually formed. It can be said that the starting point of HarmonyOS OS is different from that of Android and iOS. It is a brand-new distributed operating system based on microkernel, which can simultaneously meet the smooth experience of full-scenario, trusted security at the architecture level, and seamless collaboration across terminals. Yu Chengdong said that for the next generation of technology, enterprises in China no longer rely on (foreign companies).

　　Ecological "tough battle"

　　"The technical difficulty of being an operating system is not great, but the difficulty is ecology." In a recent interview, Ren Zhengfei told the First Financial Reporter.

　　The high ecological barrier of operating system is a difficult problem for "challenger".

　　From a global perspective, the current desktop operating system is still dominated by Microsoft. Microsoft’s Windows operating system accounts for more than 88%, and Apple’s Mac OS, the second largest operating system, accounts for 9%. Together, the two companies account for more than 97% of the operating system market, while domestic operating systems are all based on the secondary development of Linux system, which, together with other Linux systems, accounts for 2% of the market. In the mobile field, Google is the only one.

　　According to the data of Statcounter, a global website traffic monitoring organization, as of April 2019, in the mobile operating system, Google Android system accounted for 74.85%, Apple iOS accounted for 22.94%, and the rest platforms accounted for no more than 1%.

　　However, Yu Chengdong believes that HarmonyOS Eco has a huge amount of Huawei terminal support and has a better chance of success than other domestic operating systems.

　　"We believe that the launch of HarmonyOS OS will greatly enhance the vitality of the industry and the richness of ecology, and hope that the launch of HarmonyOS OS will bring more colorful experiences to the whole scene era. We welcome global developers to actively support HarmonyOS’s OS ecological construction and jointly create a full-scenario intelligent life experience for consumers. " Yu Chengdong said.

　　"The operating system is doing well, mainly in two aspects, one is performance, and the other is ecology. Performance is not a problem. Huawei itself is a big player in telecom equipment, with very successful and mature experience in special operating systems, and the domestic ecology can be slowly built. However, in the current situation, there are shortcomings in overseas APPlications, which is the app problem of Google. Other apps such as Facebook may also bring pressure. " An internal employee of Huawei told reporters that due to the richness of software in the ecological field, the number of China apps that can gain a foothold in the global market is still not too large.

　　Yu Chengdong told reporters that he hoped that Internet companies in China would regard the global market as an important step in their strategy, and also called for more Internet companies to go overseas.

"Since 2021, Xiamen’s maritime express to Taiwan has experienced explosive growth" "In 2023, the volume of Xiamen-Taiwan maritime express in the city increased by 2.5 times compared with that in 2022, and increased by more than 10 times compared with that in 2021" "Since the cruise control center was put into use for one year, a total of 735,000 cross-border e-commerce parcels to Taiwan have been completed" …

Recently, on the occasion of the first anniversary of its official use, the Cross-border E-commerce and Maritime Express Supervision Center of the cruise center in Xiamen Free Trade Zone (referred to as the cruise supervision center) released relevant data, showing that the center and the cruise terminal focused on the direction of Taiwan, constantly improved the construction of cross-strait maritime logistics channels, especially through innovation to create a mode of "integration of stations and terminals", and took the lead in realizing the efficient coordination of cross-border e-commerce goods and maritime express shipments from Taiwan.

"Continuously optimize the logistics channel of shipping express mail to Taiwan and improve the cross-strait logistics distribution system." According to the relevant person in charge of the Xiamen Free Trade Zone Management Committee, in recent years, with the strong support of higher-level departments, the Free Trade Zone Management Committee, Xiamen Customs and other departments are committed to "promoting integration through communication", constantly promoting the construction of Xiamen-Taiwan maritime express logistics channels, continuously strengthening the infrastructure layout of freight logistics hubs to Taiwan, and improving the regional logistics distribution system and achieving good results.

Xiamen-Taiwan sea express has the dual advantages of "air timeliness and sea price"

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Xiamen’s approval as the first pilot city for shipping express mail to Taiwan. In the past 10 years, Xiamen’s sea express to Taiwan has attracted all the sea freight forwarders from all over the world to gather in Xiamen with the "air freight aging and sea freight price", which has formed a unique advantage of Xiamen-Taiwan Province logistics channel, covering the whole process from cargo collection, warehousing, customs clearance, trunk line, customs clearance (transit) and dispatch (transshipment).

At present, the "Southbound Passage" of shipping to Taiwan mainly serves the daily consumer goods purchased by Taiwan Province residents (such as shoes and clothing, 3C products, toys, cosmetics, household furniture, etc.) and the industrial and commercial products purchased by small and medium-sized enterprises in Taiwan Province (such as electromechanical and spare parts, etc.), that is, after thousands of small and medium-sized Taiwan Province logistics service providers from all over the world collect goods in the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, Fujian and other places, they concentrate their goods on warehouses for transshipment and packaging, and the goods are transported by trucks to Xiamen for customs declaration, and then go to Taiwan

"Xiamen’s sea express to Taiwan is divided into two trunk lines: the big three links and the small three links, with the small three links as the main one and the big three links as the supplement." According to the staff, at present, Xiamen Port operates 17 to 19 Xiamen-Jinmen "mini three links" express shipping routes every week, and stably operates Xiamen-Taipei, Xiamen-Taichung, Xiamen-Keelung and other "big three links" routes, forming a "big three links+mini three links" complementary express shipping channel to Taiwan. Among them, the "big three links" are mainly the direct ro-ro ship of COSCO Star and the direct container liner of China Airlines Six, and the "small three links" are mainly the transit flights of Xiamen-Jinhua-Taiwan (North), Xiamen-Jinhua-Gaos and Xiamen-Jinhua-Taiwan (Middle).

It is worth mentioning that the "big three links" have a large transportation volume and a short time limit; The voyage of "mini-three links" between Xiamen and Jinmen is carried by boat, with small capacity but abundant ship resources. The Xiamen-Jinmen route can operate every day according to business needs, and the Jinmen route can operate four times a week to Taipei, three times a week to Taichung and six times a week to Kaohsiung. The flexibility and high density of the "mini-three links" and the stability and strong timeliness of the "big three links" form a strong complement, ensuring that Xiamen’s maritime express mail to Taiwan will arrive at night.

"The supervision of shipping express to Taiwan and cross-border e-commerce has also been carried out simultaneously for 10 years." According to the relevant person in charge of the cruise supervision center, in 2014, the Xiamen Maritime Express and Cross-border E-commerce Supervision Center, the predecessor of the center, was established, becoming a pilot supervision platform for maritime express to Taiwan. Since then, the platform has given full play to the advantages of location, industry and shipping on both sides of Xiamen and Taiwan, created a fast and efficient maritime express channel, and connected the development of cross-border e-commerce and commercial express business on both sides of the strait, making a strong contribution to the development of cross-strait economic and trade integration.

The "southbound passage" of sea express can achieve "arrival in the morning and release on the same day" at the earliest.

During the ten years of shipping express to Taiwan, 2021 is a key node. At that time, Xiamen took the lead in opening the "Southbound Passage", and combined with the only local "point-to-point" direct cross-strait COSCO Star route, the cruise terminal formed the "integration of large and small three-way routes".

"With the characteristics of COSCO Star’s point-to-point direct flights+mini-three links, multiple voyages and high density, the full coverage of the cruise terminal to Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung has been realized, which has significantly improved Xiamen’s ability and service advantages in shipping express mail to Taiwan." The staff said.

Not only that, since the opening of the "Southbound Passage", the Xiamen Free Trade Zone Management Committee, Xiamen Customs and other departments have jointly introduced various measures to support the development of Xiamen-Taiwan maritime express business, and newly established four supervision places: cruise, Dongdu, Haicang Dongcha and Xicha, and the level of customs clearance facilitation has been continuously improved; Open more than 10 intensive voyages of "Southbound Passage" and mini-three links, and realize the "overnight arrival" of sea express; A number of new warehouses have been set up, goods from the mainland to Taiwan have gathered in Xiamen, and the core trade hub of cross-strait shipping express has been accelerated.

"Since 2021, the level of customs clearance facilitation of Xiamen sea express has been continuously optimized and improved." According to the staff, at present, the five supervision places in Xiamen (the above four newly established supervision places after 2021+the original post office supervision places) can realize the "morning arrival and the same day release" of goods as soon as possible, which greatly facilitates the pursuit of "fast" by sea express, shortens the overall customs clearance time of sea express and realizes the efficient connection with the "big and small three links" flights on the same day.

"Terminal+Wharf+Route" to Promote Xiamen-Taiwan Shipping Express to Become Bigger and Stronger

In recent years, the volume of Xiamen’s maritime express mail to Taiwan has increased explosively, and the advantage of "southbound passage" has been significantly improved, thanks to the commissioning of the cruise supervision center. In April, 2023, Xiamen Maritime Express and Cross-border E-commerce Supervision Center moved to Xiamen Cruise Center Wharf, renamed as Cruise Supervision Center, and passed the inspection by Xiamen Customs, becoming an important place for Xiamen-Jinmen cross-border E-commerce and maritime express cargo supervision and customs clearance.

It is understood that as the largest cross-business supervision place at Xiamen Port, it is also the first cross-business supervision place located in the dock area in Fujian Province and even the whole country. Since its establishment, the cruise supervision center has actively built a smart supervision warehouse by digitalization, continuously improved the software and hardware level, and innovated the logistics channel, which has improved the supervision and logistics efficiency, effectively reduced the logistics cost of Xiamen-Taiwan sea express and enhanced the competitiveness of Xiamen-Taiwan sea express channel.

In terms of hardware, at present, the center has two automatic CT machine assembly lines, "one imported and one exported"; Online automatic sorting equipment to realize automatic circulation, automatic identification and automatic sorting of cross-border e-commerce parcels; On-line electronic purse seine between the supervision center and the wharf to realize seamless circulation of container cabinets between the two supervision areas.

In terms of software, it is the first to realize the innovative operation mode of "field-port integration" of stations and terminals, and share the bayonet and purse seine with cruise terminals, so that e-commerce enterprises, regulatory sites, customs and terminals can achieve efficient cooperation of "entering the port as soon as they enter the warehouse, arriving as soon as they are released, and boarding as soon as they arrive"; Re-customized the development of the terminal information management system, and the cross-border e-commerce package was compressed to 2 hours from entering the supervision center to completing the shipment, which improved the efficiency by 50% compared with the original model.

In order to greatly improve the time limit for customs clearance, the customs of cruise port went deep into upstream and downstream enterprises to investigate and visit, and exchanged views with shipowners, stations, e-commerce, express delivery and other enterprises, actively promoted regulatory innovation and process innovation in view of the pain points and difficulties of the industry, and constantly improved customs clearance service guarantee. According to the characteristics of processing time and ship shift time of sea express goods, customs clearance efficiency was continuously optimized in three core links: bill review, inspection and logistics, so as to realize the "same day arrival, same day release and cross-border e-commerce parcels".

"The original supervision and logistics links such as customs clearance and trailers have been reduced." According to the staff, under the new mode, cross-border e-commerce goods and sea express goods to Taiwan enter the terminal area when they enter the supervision station. The front crane and forklift equipment are used between the station and the terminal to shift the container, and there is no need for the trailer to connect again. At the same time, a virtual electronic bayonet is set up between the station and the wharf, and the seamless connection between the station and the wharf is realized by digital means. In addition, the dock loading crane is located outside the exit release area of the station, and the crane can be directly arranged to load the released goods, which effectively prolongs the customs clearance time and greatly optimizes the shipping efficiency.

"The center will make full use of the advantages of the cruise terminal’s’ big and small three links’ route and the operation advantages of the special terminal for Taiwan, and give full play to the comprehensive service capabilities of the station+terminal+route to promote Xiamen’s maritime express to become bigger and stronger." According to the relevant person in charge of the Cruise Supervision Center, since the center was put into use, the cruise terminal has increasingly acquired the qualifications of berthing points and small-scale trade points, as well as the "one-stop" supervision service capabilities for cross-border e-commerce, fruits and aquatic products, and gradually formed a two-way logistics channel for Taiwan, with cross-border e-commerce as the main export and agricultural and fishery products for Taiwan as the main import, and accelerated the construction into a "freight logistics hub for Taiwan".

"Cross-border e-commerce and sea express have become new formats of Xiamen cruise port. The Free Trade Zone will join hands with relevant departments to continuously expand the’ southbound channel’ and promote the high-quality development of sea express to Taiwan." The relevant person in charge of the Xiamen Free Trade Zone Management Committee said that in 2023, "Express Shipping to Taiwan" was included in the Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Supporting Fujian to Explore a New Road for Cross-Strait Integration and Development and Building a Demonstration Zone for Cross-Strait Integration and Development. In January this year, the work report of Xiamen Municipal Government clearly pointed out that "it is necessary to expand the’ southbound passage’ of express shipping to Taiwan and build a distribution center for express shipping to Xiamen and Taiwan". The FTZ will lead and promote the cruise home port to seize the new opportunity of Fujian to explore cross-strait integration and development, continue to promote the construction of cross-strait logistics chain and supply chain, continuously improve the voyage of "big and small links", promote the Xiamen-Taipei point-to-point sea express direct flight channel, improve the ship class density of "mini links", create two-way commercial flights for "mini links", integrate the two-way supply of "mini links" and improve the operational efficiency of "mini links" routes; It will also give full play to the supply chain operation capability of the cruise home port group, and make use of its advantages of Jinmen warehouse, Xiamen export warehouse, supervision station, wharf and Taiwan Province route node to accelerate the construction of a logistics artery linking Xiamen and Taiwan and radiating the whole world, and promote cross-strait economic and trade integration and development.

editorial comment/note

　

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China’s Decision on Several Major Issues of Comprehensively Deepening Reform proposes to promote the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity; Today, the five factors that affect the development of IT technology and information industry can be summarized as: "Cloud things move to great wisdom", namely cloud computing, Internet of Things, mobile Internet, big data and smart city.

　

Can these elements, especially big data, provide technical support and thinking transformation for improving government governance capacity? How can they promote each other and complement each other? Committee member Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference keenly grasped this combination point and submitted a number of related proposals during the second session of the 12 th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference; Some democratic parties have also conducted research on this issue. On this basis, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference held a biweekly consultation forum on June 12, focusing on this issue again, and organized some members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Committee, heads of relevant departments and industry experts to fully discuss and negotiate around key issues, with a view to finding a practical path for using big data to improve government governance.

　

At the symposium, participants had a heated and in-depth discussion on how the government supports the application and promotion of big data, the top-level design of big data development, the construction of legal system, and the mechanism of co-construction and sharing, which was positively responded and fully affirmed by relevant departments attending the meeting.

　

In order to comprehensively and deeply reflect the results of the symposium, today we specially extract the speech made by Committee member Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference at the symposium for readers.

　

Small data

　

Bigdata, or huge amount of data, refers to the information that the amount of data involved is so large that it can’t be captured, managed, processed and arranged to help enterprises make more positive business decisions within a reasonable time by current mainstream software tools.

　

Big data has 4V characteristics: Volume (mass), Velocity (high speed), Variety (diversity) and authenticity.

　

The strategic significance of big data technology lies not in mastering huge data information, but in specialized processing of these meaningful data. If big data is compared to an industry, then the key to the profitability of this industry lies in improving the "processing ability" of data and realizing the "value-added" of data through "processing".

　

Big data can be divided into big data technology, big data engineering, big data science and big data applications. At present, people talk about big data technology and big data applications the most. Engineering and scientific issues have not been taken seriously. Big data engineering refers to the systematic engineering of planning, construction, operation and management of big data; Big data science focuses on discovering and verifying the laws of big data and its relationship with natural and social activities during the development and operation of big data networks.

A few days ago, we learned from relevant channels that Chery Fengyun T9 will open the pre-sale on April 18th. The new car is positioned as a medium-sized SUV, and the estimated price is between 150,000 yuan and 200,000 yuan. The power part will be equipped with Kunpeng Super C-DM hybrid system, and the WLTC pure electric cruising range will reach up to 160km, and the comprehensive cruising range will exceed 1,400 km.

???In terms of appearance, the overall shape of Chery Fengyun T9 is fashionable and atmospheric, and the body lines are smooth and full of strength. The front face is designed with a closed grille and equipped with a trapezoidal air inlet, which shows its identity as a new energy SUV. The side adopts a hidden door handle and a suspended roof design, which is full of fashion. The tail shape is relatively simple, and the penetrating taillights stretch the visual width and effectively improve the recognition.

???In terms of interior, Chery Fengyun T9 generally continues the design of Tiggo 9, adopts double screen combination, and cancels most physical buttons, creating a good scientific and technological texture. In terms of configuration, the new car will be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, 14-speaker SONY audio system and 256-color ambient lights. In addition, according to different models, it will also provide panoramic sunroof, 540-degree panoramic image, front seat massage, front seat heating/ventilation, W-HUD head-up display system and other configurations.

???In terms of power, Chery Fengyun T9 is equipped with the fifth-generation ACTECO 1.5TGDI hybrid engine, with a maximum power of 115kW and a maximum torque of 220 N m. They are 150kW/165kW, the total torque is 310 n m/390 n m, and the pure electric cruising range of WLTC is 100km/160km respectively. In terms of transmission system, the new car is matched with a three-speed DHT gearbox, with a comprehensive cruising range of over 1,400 km and a fuel consumption of 4.2L/100km.

Under the national policy of energy conservation and emission reduction, and the purchase tax of small-displacement engines of 1.6L or less is halved, both powerful imported or joint-venture car brands and gradually developed domestic car brands have turned their attention to "golden displacement" such as 1.5L and 1.6L..

With the increasingly fierce competition, major manufacturers have shown their trump cards and created a large number of excellent models. Today, we are going to talk about a new rookie: 1.6l6at.

What does the arrival of the new engine portend?

Yidong, as the main model of Changan sedan series, maintains excellent sales. Super high cost performance, rich configuration, fashionable appearance, comfortable driving experience and all-round safety have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The 1.6L DVVT GDI engine, which declares that power is truth, and the Aisin three-generation 6-speed automatic manual transmission used with this engine will undoubtedly raise the balance of this car to a new level, making Yidong more competitive in the market of compact cars below 100,000. Today, we focus on the power core of this car.

Combination of double swords

This 1.6-liter pure aluminum alloy independently developed by Chang ‘an has variable timing technology of intake and exhaust valves (DVVT) and GDI naturally aspirated engine. Although DVVT technology is used in engines of many domestic independent brands, in-cylinder direct injection is rarely used, because in-cylinder direct injection requires higher engine technology. So how many benefits can such a difficult-to-manufacture engine bring to consumers? Let’s break them down one by one.

First: the difference of injection mode.

The essential difference between in-cylinder direct injection and manifold injection is that the traditional engine injects oil in the intake manifold and then forms mixed gas with air, and finally enters the cylinder. In other words, in the traditional injection mode, gasoline is more likely to flow into the cylinder for combustion. In-cylinder direct injection is to directly inject fuel into the cylinder with a high-pressure nozzle and mix it with air directly, so that the oil will start to burn when it is sprayed out.

▲ In-cylinder direct injection is more uniform, with better atomization effect, stronger power and more fuel saving.

Second: the power is stronger.

As mentioned before, in the traditional injection mode, some gasoline flows into the cylinder, while in-cylinder direct injection, gasoline is directly atomized and burned in the cylinder. The understanding of the image is like when the power of two identical speedboats is fully open, one of them only puts the propeller half in the water, and the power cannot be fully exerted.

From the data point of view, it has the maximum power of 94KW (the maximum power output range is expanded from the ordinary 6000rpm to 5700-6200rpm) and the maximum torque of 168 N m. However, other domestic brands of 1.6L naturally aspirated engines are mostly 85-90KW, so no one can shake their position in China.

Maybe someone asked, what’s the difference between 90KW and 94KW? I don’t feel anything at all. Under normal circumstances, I can’t feel much difference.The low-speed power of this GDI engine is 10%-15% higher than that of the old engine, and the maximum power output can reach 80% at 1500rpm. Therefore, this engine, when you use air conditioning in summer and when going uphill, will not need a big foot throttle to start and speed up because of its small displacement and weak power. Step on the gas pedal lightly and go out easily.

Third: the fuel consumption is lower.

Traditional fuel injection will form a large number of carbon deposits in the cylinder, and more fuel will be attached to the surface of carbon deposits, which will make the fuel combustion more incomplete, forming a vicious circle and increasing fuel consumption.

Moreover, because of the technology of accurate combustion in the cylinder, the fuel can be fully burned, which greatly reduces the formation of carbon deposit.Can reduce fuel consumption by 5%. 7.2 liters and 6.8 liters per 100 kilometers, don’t underestimate the difference of 0.4 liters. For a 52-liter fuel tank, a box of oil can run more than 40 kilometers, and the fuel economy can be imagined.

Fourth: more durable.

This engine adopts all-aluminum cylinder head and cylinder block, which has better heat dissipation effect. Advanced material technology and manufacturing technology make engine parts more wear-resistant, and the direct injection method also reduces the generation of carbon deposits in the cylinder. The maintenance cost of the engine is reduced and the owner’s money and time are saved.

Fifth: A good horse with a good saddle.

Any powerful engine needs a good gearbox that "understands" it and complements it so that its power can be accurately expressed.

Let’s learn how to distinguish the "good or bad" of a gearbox first. A gearbox needs only four conditions to be "good": fuel-saving, smooth, reliable and silent. As for "bad" ….. big impact, slow response, no gear shift, high fuel consumption, loud noise, high speed and so on.

And this Aisin three-generation 6AT has good internal lubrication effect, low resistance and more fuel economy. Good shift logic, faster speed, smoother speed change, less impact and more comfortable driving. Good heat dissipation effect, high technology of parts, good coordination between parts, more durable, more reliable and more silent gearbox.

▲ Excellent design of Aisin 3rd generation 6AT gearbox.

The combination of Aisin 6AT gearbox and GDI engine in Chang ‘an will give full play to the power. With Changan’s chassis carefully adjusted for Yidong, it will definitely make driving more exciting.

What are you fighting for?

Yidong, as a family compact car, is economical and practical. With the progress of science and technology, cars are also changing with each passing day. In the increasingly fierce competition in the auto market, in order to attract customers, more luxurious designs, safety facilities and smart devices are embedded in cars. People can feel the comfort and convenience of driving.

However, some people forget the fundamentals of the car: engine, gearbox and chassis. Put more energy into the design of modeling and interior. The cost of the car is indeed limited, and the mold used for shaping and the materials used for the interior will inevitably reduce the research and development expenses of the engine, gearbox and chassis. Therefore, the chassis developed in reverse, with old engine gearbox, fashionable coat and exquisite interior, has become the best choice.

This time, the new Yidong is equipped with 6AT, a gearbox that many luxury models are equipped with, and advanced GDI in-cylinder direct injection technology is also used. This "leapfrog" configuration is really extravagant.

Of course, manufacturers have to pay a considerable price for doing so.

The high R&D cost and manufacturing cost of GDI engine, as well as the cost of Aisin gearbox, make this car with less than 100,000 yuan, and the profit is thin. In addition, the market competition in this area is fierce, and there is a slight mistake. It must be a loss of wife and a loss of soldiers.

Why did Chang ‘an "go its own way" and let Yi use such a "cross-level" configuration? This is an insistence, no matter how difficult it is, we should think of consumers. Let consumers use a car that not only has a glamorous appearance, but also has a "connotation", which is not only comfortable to drive, but also more economical.

From the manufacturer’s point of view, the development of a brand must have its own core technology and independent sustainable research and development ability, so that the products can continue to improve and have better quality. Yidong, which was launched in 2012, has been with consumers for more than 4 years, and its reputation is getting better and better, with more and more recognition.

Throughout the world, Dave, not to mention the familiar series. They are all models passed down after decades of ups and downs. They didn’t cut quality because of the financial crisis, and they didn’t stop production because of poor market sales.

The more you face the difficulties, the more you can be recognized by the market and consumers. The new escape sends such a signal: surging power is truth, and fuel saving and environmental protection is justice. This is also Chang ‘an’s determination to face market competition and the motivation to build good cars for consumers.

When our impression of the price range of domestic new energy cars was still around 100,000 yuan, the listing information of BYD Seal gave us a blow, and the official set the price at 209,800-286,800 yuan. BYD Seal is the first pure electric medium-sized car under Ocean Net, with high value, high configuration and good performance. At the same time, BYD can realize self-production of parts, self-design and self-assembly ability, and so on. So these are all the basis for pricing their brand-new products. Today, I will find the answer through the test drive of the products with certain questions.

The unique design language is adopted in the appearance, and there is also a personality aspect.

As a product of BYD e-platform 3.0, BYD Seal is a pure electric medium-sized coupe of BYD Ocean Net Marine Life Series. In design, the vehicle adopts brand-new concepts and technologies, including CTB(Cell To Body) integrating blade batteries into the body, Ocean X front face and other rich brand-new design concepts, making the vehicle a unique model full of new design elements and leading the trend.

The seals in the front part of the car inherit the essence of the Ocean X concept car, and take the "X" in the dynamic perspective as the framework, giving the front part of the car a strong sense of forward impulse, an "X" shape with upward convergence and downward divergence, which has a strong visual impact and is extremely electric. As an extension of the front face shape, the front cabin cover of the seal has a visual sense comparable to that of a sports car, and its full sculptural surface is amazing and charming, which has both the momentum of surging waves and the profound feeling of ups and downs of mountains, which makes people feel excited and shows a strong dynamic design.

The lighting combination adopts Serene double-U suspended headlights and the bulges on both sides of the front hatch cover, and the inside of the lamp cavity is a double-U suspended LED light-emitting component, which makes the whole headlight more slender and creates sharp eyes for the seal, which can be called the finishing touch of the whole vehicle design. The decoration of the car lamp body and its outer boomerang shape together form the shape of the letter C, which is in harmony with the shape of the turn indicator lamp on the rearview mirror.

Waves and ripples "ripple" lamp, inspired by the surging waves of the sea, combines two elements: straight line and water ripple, and its linear light pushes from the outside to the inside layer by layer, giving people endless sense of extension and strong recognition, and also strengthening the momentum of Ocean X’s front face modeling.

The side of the vehicle, supplemented by excellent rhythmic lines, makes the vehicle show a good vitality. From the design, it fully embodies the concept that the design of the vehicle yearns for dynamic and youthfulness. The surface contour is smooth and natural, with a low-lying front cabin cover, an inclined A-pillar, a rounded top cover, a fast back that slides down and a slightly upturned duck tail shape in one go, which outlines the unique shape of the sports coupe.

The tangent line of water extending from the edge of the front engine room cover forms a forward dive posture, and rises slightly behind the C-pillar, which makes the D-pillar visually simpler and the car body more fluid, and also balances the proportional relationship between the window and the car body. In addition, the shoulder line is connected with the edge of the front engine room cover, and like a smooth water flow, it naturally disappears in the back door, showing the natural and energetic side lines of the vehicle.

Correspondingly, the D-pillar triangular window is decorated with two kinds of decorations, one is reminiscent of the shape of coastal reefs, and the other is like water drops, which further highlights the marine theme. The bold and novel design shows the young people’s ultimate pursuit of individuality.

The double waistline of sea waves is the highlight of seal side design, and the long waistline that leans back starts from the back of the front wheel eyebrows, creating the unique elegant style of the coupe when it is static. The black decorative shape at the beginning comes from the ripples on the water surface, and it can also remind people of the tail fin of a seal, which is vivid and lively.

The tail of the seal has a full curved surface and lines full of tension, and the very large light receiving surface effectively improves the texture of light and shadow. The rear bumper doesn’t adopt a simple whole-body design. The decorative pieces on both sides of the vehicle use dense transverse ribs, which are exquisite in detail and have an electric feeling. The large-area black diversion structure in the middle not only effectively reduces the wind resistance, but also shows the sporty temperament like a racing car. At the same time, it also outlines the shape of the seal tail fin through color contrast, which skillfully responds to the theme of naming "seal".

The design of the seal’s through-going water drop taillight is inspired by water drops, which is highly recognizable. The extremely narrow linear light strip of 5mm is connected in series with water drop lattice lights, and lined with slim and textured high-brightness chrome trim strips, creating a wonderful visual sense of the sea and sky line. Parametric distribution of point light sources is progressive from large to small layers, full of depth and science and technology.

The sense of interior technology is still bursting, and there is no shortage of chip space to meet the level.

After entering the car, the comfortable cockpit of Haiyun Zia built by Seals based on the design concept of "marine aesthetics" is full of various marine elements, which makes people relaxed and happy, and at the same time, they can feel the soft, smart and energetic overall atmosphere. Excellent ergonomic design and exquisite workmanship explain the connotation of thoughtfulness and high quality.

Outside the car, we can see that the theme and design of the front face are very strong, but inside the car, the central control unit is often presented in front of the driver and members, and it also presents a strong design and theme. The "wave-chasing" instrument panel has a complete outline with strong recognition, softness and perseverance, showing a purer design form. Although this design has been common in other models of BYD e platform 3.0, the seal has a stronger sense of theme in the car and a stronger marine element.

Based on smooth and natural lines, the instrument panel is divided into different functional areas through the differences in materials and colors, which further enhances the sense of suspension of the overall shape and has a better sense of space. The seal’s A-pillar is located in the front. In order to eliminate the emptiness of the instrument panel, the upper part of the instrument panel adopts a shape similar to the surging waves. The air outlet of the seal air conditioner is hidden behind the modeling lines and naturally integrated with the instrument panel, balancing the relationship between function and modeling.

Seal’s instrument panel, auxiliary instrument panel and steering wheel are decorated with textures processed by laser laser engraving technology. Through the differences in color, shape, length and width, they create a wonderful feeling of staggered space in different intersection and combination forms.

The seal’s auxiliary instrument panel is elegant, smooth and dynamic, and it can also remind people of Guangzhou’s landmark building "Little Man’s Waist". Exquisite crystal gear lever is the visual core of the auxiliary instrument panel area. It forms the control center called "in the heart of the sea" with a group of mechanical buttons. Its design is inspired by water droplets, and it integrates common functions including start button, power mode selection, air conditioning and audio control, and it is simple and convenient to operate. In the lower part of the crystal gear lever, there is a dense tooth comb with aluminum metallic color, which has a strong mechanical texture.

The scientific and technological elements in the car include DiLink intelligent network connection system, which provides strong platform support for ecology. The brand-new UI design optimizes the visual and interactive experience, and the style is more modern. The depth mode of the system can automatically switch the depth mode of the system according to the sunrise and sunset time where the vehicle is located, and the screen can be seen clearly in the daytime when the light is strong, and it is not dazzling at night. The flat design makes the menu hierarchy simpler, the logic clearer and the operation more convenient. In addition, the car also includes HiFi-class custom Dana audio and other configurations that provide 12 speakers for mid-to-high-end models to further upgrade the driving experience.

In terms of ride and comfort, the sense of space is well created, especially the width of the vehicle brings a good internal space conversion rate. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the body adopting Cell To Body technology makes the vehicle’s site lower, the internal leg and foot space is larger, and the overall riding posture and ergonomic design are more reasonable.

In addition, the embracing sports seat of the vehicle can not only provide an excellent sense of package in fierce driving, but also provide a good comfort experience in general riding. Of course, there are also many high-level functions such as heating and ventilation.

Other parts also include the vehicle with panoramic canopy, double glazing, rear privacy glass, inductive trunk door, etc., so that the comfort experience is not only reflected in space and ride comfort, but also in convenience and details.

The existence of driving experience not only pays attention to endurance, but also pays attention to control.

After refreshing my knowledge in face value and interior, the driving quality of the vehicle once again gave me a new understanding of BYD brand and its models. The model we tested this time is a long-life version with an official cruising range of 700 kilometers, but the vehicle has occupied a competitive advantage in data.

Technically, the vehicle has an integrated battery body and an eight-in-one powertrain, including a drive motor, a transmission, a drive motor controller, a vehicle controller (VCU), a battery manager (BMS), a high-low voltage DC converter (DC-DC), a bi-directional on-board charger (Bi-OBC) and a high-voltage power distribution module (PDU). To put it simply, it is to make the vehicle’s electricity do work more scientifically and reasonably without wasting the slightest bit.

The 700-kilometer-long rear-drive version uses a battery pack of 82.5 kWh, with a maximum power of 230 kW and a peak torque of 360 Nm. It supports a fast charge of 150 kW and can replenish the power from 30% to 80% in 30 minutes. Basically, it can lead the standard of independent brand new energy vehicles in terms of hardware and software.

The texture of the vehicle driving on the road is excellent, especially the power feeling is very sufficient. Even if it is a long-life rear-drive model, the power reserve is sufficient, and the accelerator pedal will be fully pressed to the end, which will bring full power explosion. This kind of push-back feeling will not feel that the power is not enough. After this short experience, we have enough expectations for the performance version of the four-wheel drive.

In terms of braking, the front four-piston fixed brake caliper is adopted, which gives the vehicle a very linear and guaranteed braking force when driving. In low-speed braking, the pedal of the vehicle will be a little too sensitive, and it will take the driver some time to adapt to ensure the braking comfort at low speed.

On the control hardware, the vehicle adopts a unique double wishbone front independent suspension, and the rear adopts a five-bar independent suspension, which provides excellent control and riding experience. The advanced sense and excellent texture of the vehicle are fully displayed through the chassis part. For the selling price, such chassis texture does not mean that it is overpriced, and both comfort, support and handling are guaranteed.

In terms of adjustment, the setting of the chassis is excellent, which can filter out the continuous speed bump and small vibration at low speed, and with the increase of vehicle speed, the chassis of the vehicle will also have good rebound efficiency and support feeling, and the roll control is in place, so that the members in the car can maintain a very relaxed ride feeling.

In the sense of direction, the vehicle adopts the front double wishbone independent suspension. You should know that the front chassis structure of the ceiling of a general sports car is the double wishbone suspension, so the hardware fully reflects the original intention of the vehicle. The steering is steady and powerful at high speed and light at low speed, and the directivity is accurate enough. However, the feedback lacks the tension of a sports car, which requires the driver to find the best alignment angle. Perhaps this is a comfortable steering direction, which will not make driving particularly nervous, but a driving feeling that remains relaxed from beginning to end, but can always feel the dynamic of the vehicle.

In NVH, the control of vehicles can be called a level benchmark, even surpassing it. The hardware has double laminated glass, which can isolate the surrounding wind noise. The chassis is thick enough to isolate the road noise, and the tire’s grip and sound insulation are also excellent, giving the car a good sense of advanced.

As it turns out, BYD hit me in the face again. I was prepared with a kind of criticism when I tested the Tang DM-P, but I was moved by the real strength of the vehicle, so I got a new understanding of BYD brand and its products. However, I didn’t want to understand why this seal can position itself with the price range of a joint venture or even imported car. However, after a simple test drive for one day, all doubts and doubts were dispelled, and BYD once again proved itself with product strength. Perhaps it is time for independent products, BYD’s products and brands to be completely subverted, because they really have such strength.

　　[Global Network Report] According to CNN and the British Guardian, US President Biden made the "most severe condemnation" of Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday (16th) local time, claiming to describe the Russian president as a "war criminal" for the first time. In response, the Kremlin quickly responded, calling it "unforgivable remarks."

　　CNN said that the change of Biden’s government’s attitude occurred after Ukrainian President Zelensky made a speech to the US Congress via video on 16th. Earlier, US officials, including President Biden, avoided using the term "war crime" to describe Russia’s actions in Ukraine on the grounds that the United States is still investigating whether such words can be used to describe it.

　　According to the report, a few hours after Zelensky’s speech, Biden also delivered a personal speech. However, Biden applied this word to Russian leaders at an event unrelated to the above-mentioned things on the 16th.

　　According to reports, at that time, Biden was first asked by reporters around him whether he thought Putin was a war criminal. He initially responded by saying "no". But he quickly returned to the reporter and asked again to confirm the question. The reporter asked again, and Biden gave a positive reply: "I think he is a war criminal."
