FAW Toyota Asian Dragon – the allure of TNGA’s flagship model

  Good times make the lucky ones, and bad times make the great ones. This classic quote flowing in the long river of history always reminds people of those winners in life who are struggling despite the difficulties. In fact, the growth process of lucky people and great people also reflects the world of all walks of life, and for the automotive industry, there is never a shortage of heroes who stand out in adversity.

  Since the COVID-19 epidemic broke out, the global economy has inevitably been mired in a quagmire. In the automotive industry, there are many brands that cannot survive after being in trouble, but there are also those who have struggled to move forward despite the trend.

  The fruit of the perfect combination between the group with deep roots in China and the group that has been deeply cultivating the Chinese market for decades is that it has shown strong resilience under the heavy blow of the epidemic. Knock-out products have shown strong product power during the epidemic, holding a rock-solid position for FAW Toyota’s market layout after the epidemic has passed.

  The reason why the Asian Dragon has been able to overcome obstacles in the difficult times of strong enemies and economic recession is still due to the customer reputation accumulated since the launch of the best-selling model in 2019, as well as the dimensionality reduction of competitors such as China and Japan after the launch of the 2.0L model lowered the price threshold.

  The sales story written in the 12 months since its listing is the most powerful evidence of the overall strength of the Asian Dragon. As for why the Asian Dragon can occupy a favorable position in the Longtan tiger’s den of the joint venture medium-sized car market as a rookie, in the final analysis, it is because the TNGA structure gives it a unique platform advantage.

  When it comes to TNGA, its significance to Toyota is no less than that of quattro. Toyota has broken out of the traditional industrial chain and derived a disruptive R & D and production system, which has revolutionized the entire brand from the inside out. This concept is specific to every aspect of a car, which is a complete change – TNGA has realized many seemingly contradictory needs of the Asian Dragon in a dialectical and unified philosophical way, and this is also the root of the Asian Dragon’s emergence from rivals such as Passat, Maiteng and INSPIRE.

  Among these contradictions, perhaps the most difficult dilemma for automakers is the conflict between increasingly tight environmental protection policies and consumers’ increasingly demanding requirements for power. However, this contradiction has found a perfect solution under the TNGA architecture – the TNGA 2.5L Dynamic Force Engine not only curbs the energy loss of the exhaust and cooling ends, but also increases the thermal efficiency to 41% that rivals are amazed by high-speed combustion and VVT-iE (motor-driven intelligent variable valve timing system).

  In addition, the transmission system also provides a powerful channel for the power under the TNGA architecture, which allows the Asian Dragon to accelerate smoothly and smoothly, but also gives it amazing fuel economy, especially the fuel consumption of the dual-engine version is only 4.3L/100km with the help of the electronic continuously variable transmission (E-CVT). Even if the theoretical fuel consumption is too conservative, the measured fuel consumption of 5.4L/100km from the authoritative media will not lie. Combined with the recent oil price, the cost per kilometer is only 3 cents. This alone is enough to capture the hearts of consumers who value fuel consumption.

  The importance of TNGA to the Asian Dragon lies not only in the flawless powertrain, but also in the safety performance of the Asian Dragon to a new height. In the most rigorous US IIHS crash test, the Asian Dragon achieved excellent results in multiple sub-tests with G (excellent review), and finally won the top safety evaluation of "Top Safety Pick +", which also makes Passat and Maiteng who have been struggling in the Chinese market for decades feel ashamed. The reason for such a commendable performance is mainly the improvement of the rigidity of the body by high-strength hot-pressed materials.

  In addition, in the field of active safety, Toyota Group’s proud Toyota Safety Sense (Toyota Collision Avoidance Assist Package) integrates PCS pre-collision safety system, LDA lane keeping system (including steering control function), AHB automatic adjustment high beam system and DRCC dynamic radar cruise control system, plus 10 SRS air bags as standard in the whole system, creating a great safety wall for the occupants of the car. The auxiliary control configuration such as PVM panoramic monitoring system, BSM parallel blind spot monitor, and RCTA rear blind spot warning system on the reversing side solves the worries caused by the blind spot of vision to the owner.

  Of course, Asia Dragon’s success is not only due to the TNGA architecture. The smart experience built by the perfect combination of mobile phone connectivity and smart security is also a key part of attracting consumers to choose Asia Dragon. The Baidu Carlife human-machine interaction system used by Asia Dragon allows mobile phones to seamlessly connect with in-vehicle multimedia systems via USB or Wifi, integrating driving navigation, Bluetooth calls and audio-visual entertainment into car life.

5

  The auto market is competing with the law of the jungle every day. Today, joint venture B-class cars such as Taurus, 508 and C6 have long been reduced to a thing of the past. After the big wave, the only remaining models such as Teana, Maiteng and Passat will be the most worthy enemies of the Asian Dragon in 2020. After the epidemic gradually fades, FAW Toyota Asian Dragon will also have the last laugh with the platform advantage and high-quality smart travel experience given by Toyota TNGA.

6

  Because the Asian Dragon, which shares the GA-K platform, has far more comprehensive strength than the B-class car, which makes the Asian Dragon have almost no equal opponents in the joint venture B-class car market. Of course, we also hope to see the Asian Dragon face more challengers in the future, because the crisis consciousness formed by the challenges of elite soldiers such as Passat, Maiteng, INSPIRE and Accord will allow the Asian Dragon to continue to evolve, providing consumers with an unparalleled car experience, and future competitors who come to fight will further motivate FAW Toyota to provide more outstanding car purchase options like the Asian Dragon.

The United States has strict access and heavy supervision, and the ride-hailing platform is responsible for related accidents

  Whenever something new appears in the world, there is always a process of gradual acceptance. In recent years, the Internet car-hailing (hereinafter referred to as "online car-hailing") that has gradually become popular around the world is no exception. Even in the United States, where "online car-hailing" appeared earlier, it has gone through a tortuous journey from illegal to legal.

  Driver and vehicle access are strict

  In the United States, local legislatures and governments are responsible for the legislation and regulation of online car-hailing. The first state to recognize the legality of online car-hailing was California, the birthplace of Uber. In September 2013, the state’s transportation regulator formulated regulations for online platforms. The first state legislation to recognize the legality of online car-hailing was Colorado (June 2014). Subsequently, the Washington, D.C. legislature also passed legislation in November 2014 to legalize online car-hailing. So far, at least 23 states in the United States have recognized the legality of online car-hailing.

  Local legislatures in the United States have quite strict requirements on the access of ride-hailing drivers and vehicles. Although drivers and owners do not need to apply to the government or regulatory agencies, the safety verification of private cars and drivers joining the platform company is quite strict, and the legislation also sets specific requirements for vehicle and driver liability insurance.

  First, in terms of driver access, drivers who apply for online car-hailing must meet the following conditions: be at least 21 years old; have received specialized driving skills training, have a qualified and valid driver’s license and have relatively skilled driving skills; pass the national criminal background check and driving record verification; have purchased qualified insurance and a valid registered local vehicle. Some states require drivers to have more than three years of driving experience.

  Second, in terms of vehicle access, the law requires private vehicles to join the platform company and complete a comprehensive safety inspection including 19 vehicle parts in accordance with regulations before providing service. After that, the platform company is obliged to ensure that the vehicle is subject to the same inspection every year and keep inspection records for review. Severely modified vehicles are prohibited from being used in ride-hailing operations. Legislation in some states requires operating vehicles to pass a comprehensive safety inspection by an authoritative certification body within 90 days before starting service, and every year thereafter; the vehicle should be a four-door vehicle with no more than eight seats (including the driver). The vehicle is not more than 10 years old before starting service; even if it is new, the service period cannot exceed 12 years.

  Third, protect the interests of passengers. The entry requirements and supervision of ride-hailing drivers and vehicles by local legislatures in the United States are themselves measures to protect the safety and interests of passengers. In addition, state laws also have different provisions on vehicle insurance. California legislation requires vehicles that join the platform company to enjoy commercial liability insurance with an insurance amount of not less than $1 million for each accident related to the vehicle and the driver when providing service, and it must be publicized on the platform company’s mobile phone and website. Colorado’s bill requires each driver to purchase liability insurance for his vehicle not less than the legal limit. Before agreeing to the driver to join the online platform service, the platform company should review the evidence of the driver’s purchase of this insurance. In addition, the "Hire Car Innovation Amendment Law 2014" (hereinafter referred to as the "Innovation Law"), which covers ride-hailing, sets out detailed standards for liability insurance, seeking to eliminate any insurance gaps.

  The government cooperates with online platforms to supervise

  According to the laws of various states in the United States, there are no quantity and freight controls for online car-hailing. First, in most places in Europe and the United States, there are no quantity and freight controls for traditional phone-hailing car-hailing cars. Second, in the taxi booking service market, passengers have access to sufficient information to compare and identify the vehicles, services and price points of different car-hailing agencies. Therefore, the problem of information asymmetry is negligible, and it is even less necessary to implement quantity and freight controls for online car-hailing cars. However, the Innovation Act introduced by the legislature of Washington, D.C. stipulates that the freight rates of online car-hailing services must be regulated by law in the event of a government declaration of a state of emergency.

  According to the legislation, the operation and safety supervision of online car-hailing in the United States is basically implemented by the government and the network platform in cooperation. The government formulates the access standards for vehicles, drivers and insurance, and the network platform bears the obligation and responsibility for implementing the standards. First, the government formulates the access standards for vehicles, drivers and insurance in accordance with the laws of the state, and at the same time appropriately regulates the operation of the network platform company; secondly, the network platform must apply to the regulatory agency for government license before starting business operations; thirdly, after obtaining the license, the platform company must undertake the operation management responsibility of managing the access of vehicles and drivers and daily supervision in accordance with the detailed access standards and operation requirements for vehicles, drivers and insurance formulated by the government.

  In addition, Washington, D.C.’s Innovation Act has more detailed provisions on the protection of disadvantaged groups. Platform companies may not increase fees for people with disabilities to ride in online car-hailing services. Drivers of online car-hailing services must load the transportation equipment of people with disabilities when the vehicle conditions permit. The law also requires all platform companies to ensure that software settings for the blind, deaf, and severely hearing impaired are available on their websites and mobile apps by January 2016.

  The platform company is responsible for compensation for the accident

  In terms of passenger information protection, Washington, D.C.’s Innovation Act not only requires platform companies to report and certify compliance with operators’ operations to the Taxi Commission every year, but also has the authority to investigate and copy platform companies’ data on consumer protection. If problems are found, the Taxi Commission has the power to investigate and punish platform companies and operators for violations.

  For the liability after the accident, the laws of Colorado in the United States include: the platform company’s insurance compensation amount for an accident should not be less than 1 million US dollars; second, if the driver logs in to the platform, but has not yet provided an appointment service, in this case, if a traffic accident occurs, the platform company shall bear at least 50,000 US dollars insurance compensation liability for each person in each accident, and shall bear the liability for compensation of not less than 100,000 US dollars for each accident, and for the property damage caused by the use of vehicles in each accident, bear the liability of not less than 30,000 US dollars; the driver does not log in to the platform or the driver logs in, but does not operate on the platform during the period, the platform company is not responsible for the driver’s behavior, and the relevant liability shall be borne by the driver.

  The legalization of online car-hailing has changed the structure of the taxi and car-hailing market, enabling private cars and non-full-time drivers to provide transportation services to the public after meeting regulatory requirements. To a certain extent, this not only breaks the long-term monopoly of the car-hailing industry and eliminates the original boundary between operating vehicles and non-operating vehicles, but also creates opportunities for the restructuring of the taxi and car-hailing market, and also promotes profound changes in legal concepts and regulatory methods.

Interview with Diao Yinan: Hu Ge’s performance has been reborn, and "Party" will be released in the second half of the year

(Photo/Liang Xiaoliang) On May 21, French time, director Diao Yinan was interviewed. After "Fireworks in the Day", Diao Yinan’s new film "The Wild Goose Lake" was shortlisted for the main competition of the 72nd Cannes Film Festival. Compared with the previous work, this work is more black and curious, and even adds a lot of magical surreal elements.

On the opening day of the Cannes Film Festival, the famous director Quentin Tarantino also came to join in and shook hands with Diao Yinan, expressing his liking. The film is currently rated 2.7 in the magazine. When it comes to creative inspiration, Diao Yinan said that the story originated from his fantasy related to fugitives, and making it into a movie is to convey a traditional ethic, morality and chivalrous spirit.

Similar to "Fireworks by Day," "The Wild Goose Lake" still cuts from the bottom of the little people, including car theft gangs and swimming girls. Diao Yinan also has his own opinion on why he has been filming the little people. "The little people at the bottom seem to be rejected by morality and law, but in fact they also have very shiny things on their bodies. Often the darker the person, the more they can see the light."

As for the actors, Hu Ge was the lead actor this time, and the female lead was still Gui Lunmei, who had collaborated with "Fireworks in the Day". When it came to the performance of the two actors, Diao Yinan praised them all, "Hu Ge’s performance is remarkable, you have seen this, compared with his previous TV dramas, it has been reborn; Gui Lunmei’s performance this time is more mature and experienced."

Because the main plot is the story of an escaped criminal, 85% of the scenes in the film are night scenes. But Diao Yinan did not let the black night be filled with violence and crime. He extracted some real scenes, and then the things he liked lit up, and the things he didn’t like were destroyed, forming an almost dreamy scene. In the daytime scenes, there are also surreal elements, and the personal preferences of these directors can be found in reality, just to present an absurd sense of contrast.

In less than a week, the major awards of this year’s Cannes Film Festival will be announced. Director Diao Yinan has a smooth and natural view on whether to win the award. For the next film planning, he also said that the film will be released in China in the second half of the year.

"Party" was conceived earlier than "Daylight Fireworks" to convey the traditional moral spirit

Where did the inspiration for The Wild Goose Lake come from?

Diao Yinan: Actually, before "Daylight Fireworks", I came up with it. After I came up with it, I didn’t feel very mature. I was sitting on the sofa listening to a foreign song and fantasizing about being hunted down. I was a fugitive with a bounty. I wanted to run to the beach all the time. A girl I liked in junior high school transferred to this place. When I saw her there, I couldn’t tell her that I was a fugitive. Then she didn’t live well. Finally, I tried to get her to kill me and leave it to her 300,000. At that time, I thought it was a very pretentious story. I probably remembered it and threw it aside.

After filming "Fireworks in the Day", I saw on the news one day that there was an escaped prisoner in the northeast who killed the prison guard and escaped. He hid in the nearby mountains. He was too cold and hungry to run down the mountain and returned to the village. He saw his wanted notice in the small shop and found that he was worth 100,000 yuan. He immediately decided to leave the 100,000 yuan to his aunt, the best person for him. My imagination turned into a news in life. I think it is possible to shoot it less affectionately.

: On the day of the premiere, Quentin also went. Did you communicate with him?

Diao Yinan: I just shook hands, because the scene was quite enthusiastic at the time, and I didn’t bother to communicate. He told another friend of mine that he liked "The Wild Goose Lake" very much.

Many people say that they see a traditional chivalrous spirit in this movie.

Diao Yinan: Yes, such a concept was established at the beginning of the creation, which is a traditional ethics, morality, and a chivalrous spirit.

Why do you want to convey this spirit?

Diao Yinan: Because I think that today’s society is developing very rapidly, and people are gradually forgetting these traditional values. Therefore, I think it is particularly necessary to remind everyone that these things are very important.

The plot focuses on the marginalized, the darker the person, the more light there is

Hu Ge is a member of a car theft gang in the film, and Gui Lunmei is an accompanying swimming girl. Why do you want to cut in from the marginalized crowd to tell a story?

Diao Yinan: Because these little people at the bottom seem to be rejected by morality and law, but in fact they also have very shining things in them. Often the darker people, the more they can see the light. I think these people also have some of the spirits they inspire us. So I think through these characters, through some dramatic weaving, this kind of thing can be more interesting and deeply experienced by the audience.

Have you ever observed in real life groups like Swimming Girl and Car Theft before?

Diao Yinan: Yes, that’s true. Of course, there are many related news, and these things combined with movies are of interest to me.

I heard that the original intention of filming this movie was based on one of your fantasies?

Diao Yinan: In the end, a real news happened, which was a bit similar to the daydream I imagined at the time, and it was very close. Yes, so I think it may be possible to make it into a movie.

Hu Ge shows a rebirth, Guilun magnesium is more mature and experienced

How did you choose Hu Ge, Gui Lunmei, Liao Fan and Wan Qian to star in this movie?

Diao Yinan: The basic principle is to first consider whether their temperament talisman fits the role, and then to choose an actor from some unexpected reverse thinking to consider the use of him. This is a principle for choosing them.

Did you provide the actors with some movies or novels to find their feelings in advance?

Diao Yinan: I think about it, I watched some movies, some movies, including some novels. There are black movies, literary films, Chinese and foreign films, and martial arts films.

Is there any new spark in the cooperation with Guilun Magnesium for the second time?

Diao Yinan: She has become more mature and experienced in acting, and she is also very dedicated and has put a lot of effort into this role.

: I would like to ask, why did you ask Liao Fan to play a police officer again?

Diao Yinan: Because Liao Fan is an old partner, he is actually familiar with cooperation. He understands my requirements and my thoughts in one sentence.

And he also joked yesterday that it felt like the police from "Daylight Fireworks" went to Wuhan to live for a while.

Diao Yinan: Yes.

What do you think of Hu Ge’s performance?

Diao Yinan: Hu Ge’s performance is also very remarkable. You have already seen this. It is a state that has been reborn from his previous TV dramas, and I am also very satisfied with his appearance.

Previously, the actors said at the press conference that they had been in a state of uncertainty on the set and did not know whether they were doing well or not. They felt that the director might have done it on purpose.

Diao Yinan: Yes, maybe that kind of uncertainty is what I want. I don’t want a particularly clear dramatic presentation. It may be better for him to be more ambiguous and vague, but their actions are very clear, and that’s enough.

How do you talk to them at the scene?

Diao Yinan: I don’t talk about drama.

We see a kind of spirit of the ancient warrior in Hu Ge, why do we do this kind of projection on the body?

Diao Yinan: Because the story structure of police and gangster films is usually reminiscent of the action line of martial arts films, so he just shows the time is modern, people are wandering in real life, and then he is a fugitive, and then he will also take us to some corners of the edge of the city, allowing us to see a very different space, a very restrained space, very, for example, you will feel like you are dreaming, entering such a marginal area.

85% of the film is a night scene, with surreal elements based on reality

There are many night scenes in the film, and the colors of the night scenes are very dreamy.

Diao Yinan: Yes, because if he (Zhou Zenong) wants to flee, it will usually be handled at night, because it is unreasonable for him to come out during the day. The night determines the main tone of the movie, and then 80% to 85% of us are night scenes, so those lights and shadows are in small cities in China, or in some suburbs, and we can often see the real scene. We just say that we extract it carefully, and we don’t dare to create it casually. Extract it carefully, and then let the things we like light up, and the things we don’t like disappear, which is enough to form the current dreamy scene.

There is a scene where many people wear fluorescent shoes to dance square, and the visual effect is very magical.

Diao Yinan: There are quite a few young people who dance this kind of dance now, and they are all in some relatively small cities. In big cities and small cities, there will be many people dancing in the square at night. Sometimes these young people are really in groups, and some people will wear flash shoes like this.

: There are many surreal elements in the film, such as entering the circus and the scene in the newspaper. Why was it designed this way?

Diao Yinan: These elements are what I saw when I was a child, for example, or what you will find at any time on the edge of the city today, like those billboards of high-rise buildings. In fact, in many places in China, a particularly modern city landscape suddenly stands up, but when you look closer, it is a fake. It is a propaganda board, but its surroundings are completely different from its environment, so this is very interesting.

Is there any new challenge in making "The Wild Goose Lake" compared to your previous work?

Diao Yinan: In this drama, I wanted my characters to express themselves through action, rather than through too much dialogue or dramatic psychological changes. I tried my best to make them act, because I feel that the sum of a person is the sum of his actions. So only through action can you open up new situations, or only through action can you get out of your predicament.

Future filming is not limited to film noir, and "The Party" will be released in the second half of the year

You seem to have a soft spot for film noir. Can you explain why?

Diao Yinan: The genre of film noir, on the one hand, it will provide you with a very dramatic and good-looking story framework. On the other hand, it has its own understanding of the world. For example, you will realize that behind our seemingly peaceful life, there are also some invisible secrets or some crimes. In fact, the undercurrent of this world is turbulent, and everyone’s heart also hides a dark area that is not known to himself or others. These are the stories, human nature, or the image of his society. It is a very good theme and a very good genre.

: "Daylight Fireworks" is shot in Northeast China, and this time "South Station" is shot in Wuhan. Which other city do you particularly want to shoot?

Diao Yinan: I can’t say this for a while now.

Will you continue to try to make movies with black elements in the future?

Diao Yinan: As long as you are interested in the subject matter, you can try it, and you will not deliberately use a genre to set a story, because we are all telling Chinese stories, first of all because your stories have their soil, they are all from real events or news, or the inspiration of the surrounding life. Therefore, it is first to tell your own story, and then the film noir is the film critics, or the audience. When they come to interpret the film, it is convenient for them to set it up.

Are you planning to go back to your hometown to film a movie?

Diao Yinan: Of course that’s also possible.

When will The Wild Goose Lake be released?

Diao Yinan: It should be the second half of this year.

Sailis’ net profit in the first half of the year improved year-on-year, and new products continued to expand. The company launched M9 within the year

Source of this article: Times Finance, Author: Cao Yu

In the first half of this year, the automobile market competition was intense, and the price war was spread to a number of automakers. In this context, according to the 2023 semi-annual report performance forecast disclosed by Sailis, its net profit attributable to the parent company improved by 20% -28% year-on-year, and the company’s business progress continued to improve.

Zhang Xinghai, chairperson (founder) of Cyrus Automobile, said: "In January this year, new energy vehicles fired the first shot in the price war, and then fuel vehicles also launched the market defense war. It can be said that the wind and waves are high and the waves are stormy!"

In the new energy vehicle market pattern of sudden change and accelerated reshuffle, Sailis maintained its resolve. At the end of May this year, AITO’s 100,000 new car was officially rolled off the production line, achieving a breakthrough from 0 to 1. It took only 15 months to become the fastest new energy vehicle brand to reach this milestone, setting an industry record again. Adhering to the "software-defined car" strategy, Sailis’s new energy vehicle business has been steady, the product matrix has been continuously expanded and enriched, the iterative upgrade and delivery speed have been accelerated, and the service system has been comprehensively renewed.

Product matrix expansion, launched within M9

In the first half of this year, Cyrus unlocked a number of achievements.

Sailis Automobile and Huawei jointly designed the AITO M5 Smart Driving Edition and the AITO M5 Standard Edition, which were released one after another; at the end of May, the 100,000 car in the AITO world went offline, and the 100,000 cars went offline in only 15 months, becoming the fastest growing new energy vehicle brand.

Sailis' net profit in the first half of the year improved year-on-year, and new products continued to expand. The company launched M9 within the year

It is worth mentioning that the 100,000 new car off the assembly line is the AITO M5 smart driving version, which was delivered nationwide in June.

As the first "Double Smart Ceiling" model equipped with "Intelligent Driving Ceiling" HUAWEI ADS 2.0 Huawei high-end intelligent driving system and "Intelligent Cockpit Ceiling" Hongmeng intelligent cockpit 3.0, the AITO M5 smart driving version represents the industry’s electrification and intelligence benchmark, which can realize high-speed, urban high-level intelligent driving functions that do not rely on high-precision maps, and realize a high-level intelligent driving experience that is infinitely close to L3. At the same time, the new car has also been greatly upgraded in terms of vehicle appearance, interior, technology and comfort configuration.

Hard power is inseparable from cooperation. Both parties give full play to their respective advantages and conduct in-depth cooperation in core areas: Sailis Automobile is responsible for the research and development of new cars, intelligent manufacturing, services, and the creation of a full life cycle car experience. As an important integrator of software products in the Sailis Automobile Industry Chain, Huawei empowers core software and hardware technologies such as electrification and intelligent parts. The two sides integrate and win-win, and join hands to refresh the industry record.

At the same time, the new energy vehicle product matrix of Cyrus continues to expand, and the Panorama Smart flagship SUV Q-M9 will be launched in the fourth quarter of this year. The AITO Q-M9 has not been officially launched, but it has been generally optimistic about the market. The industry believes that with the successive launch of new products, the growth expectation of Cyrus is expected to be further enhanced.

The product force needs time to settle, and Sailis Automobile is gradually accumulating potential energy. After obtaining the recognition of 100,000 + users, Sailis rolls to the service.

Zhang Xinghai believes that the user service in the new energy era is no longer the same as the service in the fuel vehicle era. With the development and popularization of new energy vehicles, software-defined vehicles will be the general trend, so user services must also revolve around software.

"AITO is a cutting-edge brand in the new energy vehicle industry, and attaches great importance to improving the user service experience." Kang Bo, vice-president of Cyrus Automotive, said: At a time when the global service concept has jumped to’software-based ‘active services, AITO will lead everyone into the era of smart vehicle service 3.0. "

Under the "Software Defined Car" strategy, Cyrus Automotive has launched a new CARE service strategy to provide users with a safer, more convenient and worry-free smart driving experience. The four values of CARE represent "user-centric", proactive service, respect and digitalization.

At the same time, in order to support the deeper and closer development of the joint business, at the end of June, Sailis Automotive and Huawei established the "AITO Joint Working Group" to be responsible for the end-to-end closed-loop management of marketing, sales, delivery, service, channels and other businesses.

With excellent product quality and service experience, AITO has won a good reputation among users. According to statistics, the net promoter score (NPS) of AITO M5 reached 86.4%.

Cumulative intelligent first-mover advantage

In the era of software-defined cars, the cooperation between Cyrus Automobile and Huawei is a homeopathic move by both parties. The two sides promote the transition of AITO from 1 to N, bringing more value to the industry, users and market. Standing at a new starting point for 100,000 new cars to be rolled off the assembly line, Cyrus’s 20 years of car-making experience and technical advantages drive it to continue to accelerate in the new energy track.

In fact, Cyrus has been seeking innovation and continuous upgrading, accumulating more than 20 years of vehicle manufacturing experience and solid technical strength. In 2016, Cyrus began to transform the field of new energy vehicles and continued to deepen its efforts in intelligence.

The smart factory built by Sailis according to the Industry 4.0 standard and the requirements of the Industrial Internet, with digitalization, intelligence and the Internet of Things as the core, adopts advanced manufacturing operation management system and manufacturing process, and the key process is 100% automated production.

Sailis' net profit in the first half of the year improved year-on-year, and new products continued to expand. The company launched M9 within the year

The intelligent manufacturing system created by Sailis Automobile is based on user request and data network intelligent platform, and realizes the full value chain coverage of research, production, supply, sales and service and the whole process intelligent operation of the factory.

At present, in the context of the rapid development of new energy, the competition of car companies is actually a competition of direction and speed, and the competition is who can judge the future more accurately and run faster. Looking forward to the next development of new energy vehicles, intelligence is gradually becoming the industry consensus in the second half.

In the view of Sailis, the competition of new energy vehicles must finally be the competition of technological innovation and intelligence. In the course of 37 years of development, Sailis has always emphasized cultivating core technologies and forming core competitiveness. In the past few years, Sailis has invested more than 20 billion yuan in the field of new energy vehicles, and AITO has invested more than 12 billion yuan in research and development.

Technology is the first moat. Relying on continuous high-intensity R & D investment, Sailis is in a leading position in three-power technology, range extension technology, electronic and electrical architecture and super electric drive intelligent technology platform (DE-i), and has achieved the results of AITO manufacturing three cars a year and the fastest 100,000 cars off the assembly line.

It is worth mentioning that the AITO M5 series smart driving version is almost the only car that can be bought on the market at present, and it is infinitely close to the L3 level. Cyrus may be the only car company that is expected to quickly and large-scale landing in L3. High-quality products + leading intelligent level are expected to help Cyrus win the second half of the competition.

Hongmeng Smart Cockpit 3.0 takes the intelligent experience of the car to a new height: the industry’s first HUD highly adaptive adjustment makes driving safer; the first "get on the bus" spatial audio technology allows users to visit the National Grand Theater as if they were in person; PC collaboration function can realize collaborative office in emergency situations; mobile phone ecology and car machine ecology are integrated and shared, supporting mobile phone car and machine hardware to call each other, bringing more new interactive experiences.

Huawei participated in the 2023 Digital Technology Ecology Conference with new products from all scenes.

    From November 10th to 13th, the 2023 Digital Technology Ecology Conference, organized by China Telecom and many domestic and foreign enterprises, was held in Guangzhou. During the exhibition, as a long-term partner of China Telecom, Huawei Terminal presented at the conference with the latest terminal products, new M7, and full-scenario solutions.

    At the 2023 Digital Technology Ecology Conference, Huawei terminals demonstrated cutting-edge technologies such as satellite communication and intelligent driving, and also brought the newly released extraordinary master brand products to the scene for the guests to experience. Huawei terminals have recently launched new products in their respective fields to boost the rapid development of the industry.

    In this exhibition, Huawei Terminal won the 2023 Eco-cooperation Award from China Telecom.

    Ask the new M7 in the world to lead the intellectual drive upgrade.

    Recently, a number of new energy automobile companies announced the delivery of new cars in October 2023. Among them, AITO has shown a strong growth momentum. In October, AITO series delivered 12,700 new cars, of which 10,500 new cars were delivered by the new M7, and the delivery of a single model exceeded 10,000 in a single month, a record high.

    At the exhibition site, Huawei also brought two cars, the M5 Intelligent Driving Edition and the new M7, for the audience to experience a new generation of smart cars on the spot. It is reported that the HUAWEI ADS 2.0 high-order intelligent driving system of the new M7 will realize high-speed and high-order intelligent driving on urban roads without relying on high-precision maps.

    In addition, the perception ability of HUAWEI ADS 2.0 has also raised the intellectual driving level of the new M7 to a new level. Relying on BEV perception ability and GOD 2.0 network ability, it can easily identify what the object is. According to the official introduction, the recognition rate of the object can reach 99.9%, which provides better support for vehicles to avoid risks, especially in the more complicated road environment in urban areas, making the intelligent driving system truly a thinking brain.

    Yu Chengdong once said that Huawei has invested as much as 500 million yuan in research and development expenses to support the upgrading of the new M7. According to the official introduction, in order to further enhance the delivery capacity, the industry has invested more than 1 billion yuan to ensure the quality and quantity of delivery. At present, the continuous high investment is making Huawei’s smart car selection business win positive feedback from the market and continue to be favored by consumers.

   Two-way satellite communication shows the king’s demeanor

    Huawei satellite communication has also ushered in an update. Satellite communication technology was first installed on HUAWEI Mate 50 series mobile phones. Although it only supports Beidou satellite one-way information transmission, it has opened up a new track for the development of smart phones in the future. Since then, Huawei has continued to iterate this technology. HUAWEI P60 series has brought two-way Beidou satellite messages, which means that users can send messages and receivers can reply to messages. The newly released HUAWEI Mate 60 Pro+ has dual satellite communication function. When there is no terrestrial network, it not only supports two-way messages, but also supports satellite calls as long as the satellite package is opened.

    Compared with mobile communication, satellite communication plays an important role in the environment without the coverage of communication base stations. However, due to the difficulties in application, satellite communication can only be used in commercial scenes for a long time, and it is difficult for satellite calls to be popularized.

    The launch of HUAWEI Mate 60 Pro+ dual satellite communication function has a great driving effect on the upstream and downstream industrial chains. Because the market will mature with the growth of demand scale, the market growth can drive the whole chain to run through. With the development of more and more related application scenarios such as marine fishery, emergency rescue, tourism adventure and Internet of Things, more brands will invest in the research and development of this function, and satellite calls will also erupt in the field of smart phones.

    All the new ecological products in the whole scene are exhibited.

    Previously, Huawei held an autumn full-scene conference and released a number of new full-scene ecological products. At the exhibition site, there are three complete scene areas: sports health, terminal government and enterprise and whole house intelligence, and a variety of new products of Huawei terminals and multi-device collaborative scenes are displayed for the audience to experience.

    For example, the extraordinary master smart watch of HUAWEI WATCH ULTIMATE DESIGN at the Huawei Autumn Full Scene Conference also appeared in this Huawei terminal exhibition area. As Huawei’s first gold smart watch, it combines 18K precious gold in material technology; The 13.2-inch Huawei MatePad Pro brings a brand-new PC-level WPS Office, combined with the intelligent interaction of HarmonyOS, which brings a better PC-level office experience and realizes the document synchronization between PC and mobile phone. HUAWEI FreeBuds Pro 3 TWS headphones use the star flash technology, which improves the physical bandwidth by 4 times and the anti-interference ability by 2 times, and has lossless sound quality with super CD quality.

    At the Huawei Developers Conference in 2023, Yu Chengdong revealed that the number of ecological devices in HarmonyOS has exceeded 700 million, and 2.2 million Harmony OS developers have invested in the development of the HarmonyOS world. Huawei terminals have always had a clear category plan for the full-scenario business line, and at the same time, their ecological positioning has been more refined. In the future, the continuous construction of the "1+8+N" full-scenario ecology will continue to promote the high-quality development of the industry.

    From mobile phones, wearables, routers and other multi-product fields to consumer and business fields, Huawei terminals and operators’ partners have always maintained close cooperation. The Huawei terminal exhibition area also has a terminal government and enterprise area for the live audience to experience.

Forty Years of China’s Literary Creation: From "Wound Literature" to "Network Novel"

  Forty years of China’s literary creation: from "scar literature" to "online novel"

  China news agency, Beijing, October 6 (Reporter Gao Kai) "Literary changes are influenced by the world, and the rise and fall depend on the time sequence" (Liu Xie, Southern Dynasty), from "scar literature" to "online novel", China’s literary creation has experienced colorful ups and downs with social changes in the past 40 years.

  In 1977, the 11th issue of People’s Literature published Liu Xinwu’s "Head Teacher" in the headline of "Special Short Stories". The novel was criticized as "criticism and enlightenment" and the pursuit of authenticity, which exposed the spiritual poison caused by the "Cultural Revolution" to teenagers. In 1978, a wave of literary creations revealed the harm of the Cultural Revolution to the people’s spirit, such as Wound by Lu Xinhua and Soul and Body by Zhang Xianliang, told the spiritual history records of a generation of China intellectuals who reflected on the Cultural Revolution. It was called "Wound Literature" in the literary history, while The Head Teacher was regarded as a "pioneering work".

  This year, in an interview with the media, Liu Xinwu said that "scar literature" is more about expressing thoughts, opinions and viewpoints, rather than really digging deep into the literature itself. In fact, when literature continues to progress, and then the creation is required to truly return to the literary ontology, it is far from enough to express the views on social life. "Trauma literature naturally melts with the development of the times."

  What the reform has brought to China people is not only the abundance of material life, but also the expansion of individual thought and living space.

  Since 1978, with the economic and social changes, Dangdai’s literary publications such as October, Flower City and Everyone have come out in succession, and they have quickly become fertile ground for the growth of literary creation.

  After the "scar literature", a large number of reform works emerged, from Zhang Jie’s "Heavy Wings" to Ke Yunlu’s "New Star", which aroused widespread public concern. "New Star" appeared as a avant-garde literary image that reflected realistic problems and confronted social contradictions, and its adaptation of the TV series of the same name gained unprecedented attention and ratings at that time.

  In 1986, Lu Yao’s Ordinary World interwoven daily life with huge social conflicts, showing the difficult and tortuous road that ordinary people have taken in the historical process of the great era. This award-winning work of Mao Dun Literature Award not only won the recognition of the literary world, but also aroused strong resonance among readers and became the "explosion" of that year.

  China literature is increasingly returning to literary noumenon, and it is more inclined to pure literature.

  Since the middle and late 1980s, a number of outstanding writers, such as Yu Hua, Su Tong, Liu Suola, Acheng and Ge Fei, have successively published their "golden" works.

  In 1985, Mo Yan published the novella Transparent Carrots in China Writers, which added a wonderful stroke to the literature in the new period with magnificent imagination and expanded the creative space of novels in the new period. Mo Yan became famous in one fell swoop. Twenty-seven years later, he won the Nobel Prize in Literature because his works "magical realism blended folk stories, history and contemporary society".

  Chen Jiangong, vice chairman of the Chinese Writers Association, said that during the period from 1978 to 2008, China’s literary creation, writers constantly expanded the realm of "ego", and integrated "ego" into the feelings of home and country, national worries and joys, and the people’s upsurge of creating history and the torrent of national rejuvenation. ? From "non-ego" to "ego" and from "ego" to "ego", the creative subject of literature has finally found its own artistic and historical orientation, which is the mystery of the outstanding personality of literary creation and the heavy and vigorous literary pattern over the years.

  With the progress of science and technology and social development, the Internet has increasingly entered the lives of China people, and network literature has emerged. Since Cai Zhiheng’s online novel "The First Intimate Contact" became popular in 1998, China’s online literature has gone through 20 years.

  With the development of film, animation, games and other related industries in recent years, the annual income of many online writers has reached "tens of millions".

  Born in 1981, the online writer "Tang Jiasan Shao" has owned his own cultural investment company, ranking first in the rich list of online writers in China for many years. In addition to the material sense of existence, after years of development, China online writers have also become a member of the mainstream literary creation. Tang Jiasan believes that the traditional literary world has accepted and tolerated online literature to a great extent. With the network literature entering a new turning point in history, the network literature, which started from leisure and entertainment, has also shown a positive trend in the creation of realistic themes.

  Literature comes from the times and also records the times. Looking back on the 40 years of reform and opening up, China’s literary creation is magnificent, and the future can be expected. As Mr. Lu Xun said, "Infinite distance and countless people are all related to me". (End)

From fresh fruit to fresh-cut, exploring new ways for high-quality development of Guangdong pineapple.

At 1 am, Zhanjiang Xiaoxianbo Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd. was brightly lit. Cold chain cars in front of the door, one after another; Workers pack and load cars in one go. Accompanied by the roar of the engine, boxes of fresh-cut pineapples sailed northward from the southernmost tip of Chinese mainland, and appeared on the supermarkets’ platforms on time before 12: 00 the next morning.
Looking at the printed orders, Chen Lixiong, the general manager of the company, said: "Every day, the phone is bombarded by buyers, but the production capacity is limited, so I dare not take orders casually." He is considering expanding the processing plant of 1000 square meters to 10000 square meters.
The local large and small processing plants are similar to Chen Lixiong’s situation, which means that the market for fresh-cut pineapples has really opened up.
From selling fresh fruits to selling fresh cuts, the seemingly simple "pineapple peeled and cut for sale" has cut a big market. This "cut" is the initial processing from sporadic to scale, forming a new format; It is also an effective exploration for Guangdong to implant the concept of industrialization into "local products", extend the industrial chain, make agricultural products foodized and promote the high-quality development of agriculture.
Open the bag and eat immediately to solve the pain point of pineapple fresh fruit consumption
Like the southernmost climate in Chinese mainland, fresh-cut pineapples are "hot" at the moment.
Xu Wenren Wei Shiqi felt this "fiery". This year, the fresh-cut pineapples produced by his company have added markets such as Xinjiang and Shenyang, and a batch of products will be delivered to Chengdu, Hefei and Wuhan every two days.
In Guangzhou, fresh-cut pineapples are essential regardless of cheap fruit shops, high-end supermarkets or online platforms, and they are often sold out of stock. "The best seller in the store now is fresh-cut small pineapples, which are sold short every day and purchased every day." The clerk of a fruit shop in Zhujiang New Town said.
In Shanghai, Guangdong fresh-cut pineapple is becoming a part of local residents’ taste life. "Shanghainese have high requirements for the freshness and sweetness of pineapples, and fresh-cut pineapples sell well." Zhang Han, general manager of Shanghai Xianrui Biotechnology, said that at present, the price of Xuwen fresh-cut pineapple is 100-120 yuan/box, and the daily sales exceed 15,000 Jin.
Fresh-cut fruit is not novel. It is a lightly processed fruit, fresh and ready-to-eat, with an edible rate of 100%. It is often used as snack food and dessert. Statistics show that the market size of fresh-cut fruits and vegetables industry in the United States is as high as 12.5 billion US dollars.
Compared with other fruits and vegetables, peeling and cutting pineapple has always been a difficult problem, and fresh-cut pineapple has solved this problem. "After grading, cleaning, sorting, peeling, cutting and packaging, pineapples can be directly introduced to the market, and it is convenient and fast to eat when opened." Wu Jianlian, president of Xuwen Pineapple Association, said that compared with small pineapples in Thailand, Xuwen fresh-cut pineapples have shorter transportation links, no need for excessive preservation treatment, low cost and full flavor. "Now, the fresh-cut pineapples that can be seen in the domestic market are basically produced by Xuwen, and there are few small pineapples in Thailand." Wei Shiqi said.
Yu Huiyong, founder and chairman of Baiguoyuan Group, is very optimistic about the fresh-cut pineapple market. "Fresh-cut pineapple not only solves the problem of peeling, but also allows consumers to directly see the maturity and quality of pineapple." He believes that guiding consumption upgrading can drive industrial development. With the upgrading of fresh-cut processing technology and the cultivation of consumption habits, fresh-cut pineapples will become the explosion of the fruit industry and the new favorite of young people.
"Fresh-cut pineapples have potential!" Mialin, chairman of Hebei Shouheng Group, saw the huge market potential of Guangdong pineapple. He said that deep-processed pineapple products such as dried pineapple and pineapple cake are very popular in the northern market, and suggested that Xuwen pineapple try to set up a pre-production and processing base to better adapt to and explore the northern market.
Prefabrication, batch cutting out the new blue ocean of industry
Fresh-cut pineapple is a new breakthrough in the development of Xuwen pineapple industry. Wei Shiqi, a "post-90 s" youth who planted pineapples for four generations, returned to his hometown Xuwen and engaged in pineapple e-commerce. He found that no one wanted a single fruit under 1 kg. "Small pineapples have the same taste and sweetness as big pineapples, and even have better quality, but they are small. But whether it is wholesale procurement or e-commerce sales, it only needs big pineapples. "
In the spring of 2021, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Guangdong Province, after investigation, decided to push for prefabricated vegetables and solve the problem of agricultural standardization through industrial production. In October of the same year, Guangdong Prefabricated Vegetable Industry Alliance was established. Then, the general office of the provincial government launched "Ten Measures to Accelerate the High-quality Development of Guangdong Prefabricated Vegetable Industry", and Guangdong Prefabricated Vegetable Industry entered the fast lane.
The construction of "12221" market system of agricultural products starts with solving the problem of selling. How to tap the greater value potential of pineapple? Seize the outlet of prefabricated vegetables and promote the industrial production of pineapple! "Thailand can make fresh-cut small pineapples, why can’t we?" Under the guidance of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, xuwen county issued Ten Measures to Promote the Development of Pineapple Processing Industry, taking the lead in publishing Xuwen fresh-cut pineapple industry standards and deploying and building pineapple processing industry clusters.
Wei Shiqi found that Thai small pineapples are packed in a box of 16 Jin, and the price is as high as three or four hundred yuan, and they are often sold out of stock. "’post-90 s’ has gradually become a major consumer group, and they like it." Exploring business opportunities everywhere, he immediately set about preparing to build a factory, and cooperated with relevant units of the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences to develop fresh-cut pineapple products, turning small pineapples that had been abandoned by the market into "golden pineapples".
A wave of "fresh cutting" promoted by government departments and participated by the whole industry chain is coming. Huang Jie, the person in charge of Box Horse Fresh Life, said that at present, the sales volume of pineapple slices in Guangzhou and Shenzhen accounts for 80%. Box Horse Store provides fresh-cut and home delivery services, with an average daily sales of about 10,000 Xuwen Golden Diamond pineapples, and the sales volume is still in the fast climbing period. "The fruit market is relatively saturated, and fresh-cut fruit is opening up a new situation, which is the result of market orientation." Feng Weihua, general manager of Qian Aunt, said.
Hot fresh cuts attract capital to "catch up quickly". In November last year, a mechanized, standardized and intelligent fresh-cut pineapple production line was built in xuwen county, which is the first 100,000-ton, low-temperature, aseptic processing factory in western Guangdong that fully meets the new national standards for the processing of ready-to-eat fresh-cut fruits and vegetables. Compared with traditional manual peeling, one machine can produce 15 thousand Jin a day, and the efficiency is increased by 50 times.
Recently, the Technical Specification for Fresh-cut Pineapple Processing, declared by the Institute of Sericulture and Agricultural Products Processing of Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences, was approved, which filled the blank of domestic technical standards for fresh-cut pineapple processing. "The establishment of a nationwide technical specification for fresh-cut pineapple processing can ensure product quality and safety." Xu Yujuan, director of the Institute of Sericulture and Agricultural Products Processing of the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said.
As the first batch of people who ate crabs, Chen Lixiong invested 6 million yuan in 2020 to build Zhanjiang Xiaoxianbo Agricultural Science and Technology Co., Ltd. In just three years, its partners have expanded to seven large supermarkets and fresh-keeping platforms such as Box Horse, Wal-Mart and Meituan Youxuan, and the daily output has increased from the initial 10,000 kilograms to 40,000 kilograms. "In 2022, the company’s output value was about 24 million yuan. This year, it is estimated that the output value will reach 30 million yuan. " Chen Lixiong is ambitious.
At present, there are 17 fresh-cut pineapple processing enterprises in Xuwen, with an annual processing capacity of 60,000 tons and an output value of about 800 million yuan. "Before 2021, there will be no more than three fresh-cut pineapple processing enterprises in the county, with a daily production capacity of more than 3,000 pieces, each packed in 16 kg. Now our company produces more than 2,000 pieces a day. " Wei Shiqi established Zhanjiang Sanmu Food Co., Ltd. in 2021.
Fresh-cut opens a door, and "small specialty" shows its "versatile" potential. Pineapple grilled fish, pineapple meat, pineapple rice … Pineapple can also be connected with daily necessities such as drinks, textiles and even washing products. "Growing cotton, selling cotton and selling cloth, clothes and brand clothes are not the same. This is the underlying logic of developing prefabricated vegetables to promote farmers’ income and get rich. " The relevant person in charge of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said.
Redefining, the income of fruit farmers is not only in the field.
Fresh-cut fruit is a microcosm of the development of prefabricated vegetables in Guangdong, and it is also the "first workshop" of the prefabricated vegetable industry. As the "hometown of pineapples in China", Xuwen pineapples have a planting area of 350,000 mu, with an annual output of about 700,000 tons. One out of every three pineapples in China is produced in Xuwen. Sticking to the traditional sales method of fresh fruit and simply increasing sales volume, it is difficult to realize the premium of pineapple value. While fresh-cut pineapple enhances the value of pineapple, it allows the majority of fruit farmers to participate in the prefabricated vegetable industry chain and realize co-construction and sharing.
This year, the prepared dishes were written into the "No.1 Document" of the Central Committee for the first time. One end is connected to the field and the other is connected to the kitchen table. Guangdong grabs prefabricated vegetables and develops the advanced road of rural "local products". Huang Zhikong, deputy head of xuwen county, said that fresh-cut pineapple has entered the "new track", and the increase of pineapple value is synchronized with the increase of farmers’ income.
Small pineapple refers to the small pineapple fruit that doesn’t grow in the field. The annual output of Xuwen County is not less than 50,000 tons. In the past, it was a "loss-making goods" in the eyes of fruit farmers. In 2020, the price of small pineapple was only 0.4 yuan/kg. Now, the purchase price of small pineapple field head is stable at 1.2 yuan/kg, and the highest price is 1.7 yuan/kg, which was once higher than that of big pineapple.
He Jinghuan of Sanhe Village, Qujie Town, xuwen county calculated an account: In the past, there were more than 800 kilograms of small pineapples per mu, and according to the current purchase price, the income per mu increased by 800-1000 yuan. In 2022, Ou Xiliang, a pineapple grower in Qujie Town, planted more than 60 acres of pineapples, and the small pineapples in the field turned waste into treasure, which increased the income by about 50,000 yuan compared with previous years, with an average income of 830 yuan per acre.
This year, Chen Yongming, secretary of Sanhe Village, set up a cooperative with village cadres and large growers, and invested nearly 2 million yuan to build a fresh-cut pineapple processing factory. "With the fresh-cut processing factory, it can better drive pineapple sales and increase villagers’ income."
From fresh fruit to fresh-cut, fruit farmers who walked into the workshop and put on work clothes became "workers". Take Wei Shiqi’s company as an example. Every day, nearly 200 people are engaged in pineapple processing and production, with an average daily salary of 200-300 yuan per person. At the peak, the monthly income of individual production workers can reach 20,000 yuan.
In overseas supermarkets, fresh-cut pineapples weighing less than a catty cost $4.58, equivalent to RMB about 33 yuan; The price of pineapple whole fruit is only $2.18, equivalent to about RMB 15.7. The price of a single pineapple after fresh cutting is more than twice that of the original fruit.
On March 15th, 300 kilograms of fresh-cut pineapple was sent from Xuwen to the North American market, breaking the previous record that Guangdong only exported fresh pineapple. "Customers in overseas markets of fresh-cut pineapples have high expectations, and we regard it as a core agricultural product as important as litchi." Yaohua Chen, chairman of Guangdong Zhongli Agricultural Group Co., Ltd. said. According to statistics released by Zhanjiang Customs on March 23rd, this year, Xuwen pineapple has been exported to 375.8 tons, a year-on-year increase of 78.3 times. In the first quarter of this year, Guangdong’s agricultural products exports increased by 35.2% year-on-year, and dried and fresh fruits including pineapples increased by 58.4%.
The core of high-quality development is "high quality and high efficiency", and Guangdong chooses "market" as the focus of industrial development.
Xuwen locals still remember the difficult sales of pineapples in 2018. In 2019, Guangdong began to build a "12221" market system for Xuwen pineapples, effectively solving the sales problem. In the past five years, Xuwen’s pineapple output has increased from more than 500,000 tons to nearly 800,000 tons, the average head price has increased from a few cents a catty to the highest 3 yuan/catty, and the per capita GDP of 150,000 fruit farmers has increased from 23,748 yuan to 33,676 yuan. In 2022, the output value of Xuwen fresh fruit reached the highest level in the past years, about 2.5 billion yuan.
This year, the pineapple market in the producing area has risen steadily. At present, the price of Bali pineapple is 1.5-1.8 yuan/kg, the purchase price of small pineapple is stable at 1.2 yuan/kg, and the price of fresh-cut small pineapple in 16 kg is 90-120 yuan/box.
In the past five years, whether it is to break through the market, adapt to market transformation, or consolidate and expand the market, in the final analysis, "the market is quite before production." Guangdong attaches importance to agriculture by citing the thinking of industrialization, aiming at a "package" of goals: starting a brand, increasing sales and increasing farmers’ income.
For Xuwen pineapple, it is the first step to completely solve the selling difficulty, and the second step is to sell it better, so developing fresh-cut fruits to promote the foodization of agricultural products. At present, there are 31 pineapple processing enterprises in Xuwen, with the output increasing from 30,000 tons in 2017 to 240,000 tons in 2022. The processed products range from single canned products to preserved pineapple, pineapple stuffing, pineapple juice, dried pineapple, pineapple cake and pineapple wine, with an output value of about 1.97 billion yuan.
Innovation has a market, and cross-border can break through. Brand building needs new trends, and agricultural brand building needs to be integrated into the new trends, so as to rejuvenate and break the circle, which is loved by more young people and new consumer groups.
This year, Xuwen Pineapple has created a new scene of fresh-cut pineapple consumption, and the marketing method has gradually become younger and more scene-oriented. The whole network of pineapples is looking for the endorsement of "Kyle", and Guangdong pineapples train through Chang ‘an Avenue, and the "Sea of Pineapples" dances ballet … Guangdong pineapples move heartstrings.
In mid-spring, Guangzhou haizhu lake Park is sunny, with soothing music, enjoying spring outing, flowers, camping and fruit tasting. Under the blooming bauhinia, a "spring limited" pineapple party, "pineapple" moved the heartstrings of Greater Bay Area tourists. Fresh-cut pineapple has become the "new favorite" for people to go camping in Greater Bay Area in the spring. The creative pineapple desserts with fresh-cut pineapple as the original ingredients are flooding into the afternoon tea circle in Shanghai.
Fireworks play a trendy flavor, pineapple creative new play. On April 15th, integrating pineapple creative market, "FUN 4" tide play economy and street concert, Guangdong fresh-cut pineapple went into offline marketing in online celebrity community, bringing new experiences to urban young people from taste, vision and hearing, and creating Guangdong pineapple city carnival.
This spring, pineapples compete for "freshness". "With the diversification of pineapple industry leading the modernization of rural industry, Xu Wen is committed to building a pineapple industry belt with world influence and competitiveness." Luo Hongxia, secretary of Xuwen County Party Committee, is full of confidence. (China Daily Guangdong reporter station Qiu Quanlin | Chloe Wang)

The new regulations for Beijing Pass will come into effect today: will it affect millions of cars to ease parking difficulties?

  Beijing, Nov. 1 (Zhang Xu)-On Nov. 1, Beijing, known as the "strictest" new regulations for automobile license to Beijing, was officially implemented. This means that after the implementation of the new regulations, about 1 million foreign license cars in Beijing’s motor vehicle ownership will be bound by the new regulations, and one out of every seven cars in Beijing can only drive outside the Sixth Ring Road for more than 280 days every year.

  Where is the strictest in history?

  According to the Notice of Beijing Municipality on Traffic Management Measures for Some Passenger Cars (hereinafter referred to as the Notice), the measures implemented on November 1, 2019 are called "the strictest in history" because there are four major changes compared with the previous restrictions on foreign license plates.

  Change 1: the restricted area is expanded again.From November 1, 2019, the restricted area of foreign cards will be expanded from Beijing Fifth Ring Road to Beijing Sixth Ring Road, and Tongzhou, the administrative sub-center of Beijing, will be all divided into restricted areas.

  Change 2: The paper entry permit must be clearly stated.There are two ways to apply for a Beijing permit, one is to apply at the high-speed service point on site, and the other is to apply online through the "Beijing Traffic Police APP". After the implementation of the new regulations, the Beijing Pass handled by the mobile phone must be printed into a paper version and placed on the lower left side of the front windshield.

  Electronic entry permit needs to be printed.

  Change 3: The number of days to enter Beijing each year will be limited.Each vehicle with a foreign license plate can apply for a Beijing Pass for up to 12 times a year, and each time is valid for up to 7 days, so it can drive for up to 84 days a year, accounting for 23% of the total number of days in the year.

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission, according to the actual needs, it can be applied continuously, or it can be applied monthly or irregularly. After the implementation of the New Deal on November 1, the remaining 61 days in 2019 only account for this year’s quota, which can be understood as a "buffer" and will enter a new counting cycle on January 1 next year.

  Change 4: In the restricted area, you can’t just stop driving.If you fail to apply for a Beijing Pass or the Beijing Pass expires, and park on urban roads above the branch level within the restricted range, the number of days that you can apply for a Beijing Pass in the current year will be deducted according to the number of parking days.

  Millions of non-Beijing brand cars are subject to the new regulations.

  How many cars will be affected by the new regulations of Beijing Pass? According to the data of Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission, by the end of May this year, there were 6.21 million motor vehicles in Beijing (including 5.19 million passenger cars) and about 1 million foreign brand cars. At present, it is circulated on the Internet that individual communities no longer lease parking spaces to vehicles with license plates from other places.

  However, Mr. Xu, who lives in Tongzhou, Beijing and has a car license in Hebei, said that the new regulations have little impact on him. "In the past, you only needed to go to the urban area to get a Beijing permit. Now you need a permit to return to Tongzhou. However, my work doesn’t work very well. It’s really not good. It’s not a big deal to put a car in the community and take a car. "

  According to the explanation of Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission,Vehicles without documents can park in their own parking spaces or in public parking lots off the road, and the number of days will not be deducted, but they need to apply for a Beijing Pass when they go on the road again, otherwise they will be punished accordingly.. In addition, after the foreign vehicle’s Beijing Pass expires, if it is parked in the off-street parking lot, it will not be reduced the effective days of re-issuing, nor will it be punished.

  Why do you want to limit the number of days in Beijing? The Beijing Traffic Management Bureau explained that the traffic environment resources of the central city and the sub-center are limited and cannot afford too many cars.

  According to the monitoring and data of the Beijing Traffic Management Department, about 709,000 vehicles with foreign license plates have been used in Beijing for a long time. Among the vehicles driving on urban expressways, foreign buses account for 10%; The proportion of buses parked in residential areas in the Fifth Ring Road is 5% to 13%, and it has reached 15% to 29% outside the Fifth Ring Road.

  This figure has seriously affected the fairness and effectiveness of Beijing’s total motor vehicle control policy. Of course, there are also concerns about the shortage of parking resources in urban areas.

  To what extent can parking difficulties in Beijing be alleviated?

  The problem of parking difficulty in Beijing has a long history. In 1994, Beijing determined that the allocation index of residential areas was 0.1 parking spaces/household, and in 1999, it was proposed and published in 2002 that the new revised index was 0.3 parking spaces/household inside the Third Ring Road and 0.5 parking spaces/household outside the Third Ring Road.

  In 2015, Beijing revised the parking allocation index of residential areas again. "The total supply of parking spaces should be controlled between 1.1 and 1.3 times the number of motor vehicles". According to the allocation standard, the ideal number of parking spaces in Beijing should be between 6.2 million and 7.4 million, but in fact it is far from being achieved.

  According to the parking space survey data released by the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission in 2017, by the end of 2016, there were 3.82 million parking spaces in urban areas in Beijing, and the demand for night parking was 3.84 million, with the total supply and demand equal; However, the spatial distribution of parking space resources is uneven, and the imbalance gap of residential parking spaces reaches 1.29 million. Among them, the serious vacancy area in the Third Ring Road accounts for 84%, and there is no sufficient parking area in the Fifth Ring Road.

  By the end of May 2019, the number of motor vehicles in Beijing had reached 6.21 million (including 5.19 million passenger cars). Although the number of motor vehicles has slowed down with the introduction of control measures, it is an indisputable fact that there are fewer parking spaces than motor vehicles.

  On the one hand, the number of parking spaces is insufficient, on the other hand, a large number of parking spaces have not been effectively utilized. According to the 2017 China Smart Parking Industry Big Data Report jointly released by ETCP Smart Parking Industry Research Institute and CBN Business Data Center, the utilization rate of parking spaces in Beijing is between 40% and 50%.

  Pan Helin, a postdoctoral fellow in applied economics at China Academy of Fiscal Science, told the reporter: "The new regulations for entering Beijing can reduce the number of foreign vehicles entering Beijing, which has a certain effect on alleviating parking difficulties. However, because the proportion of foreign vehicles is not high, it is mainly necessary to revitalize existing parking space resources by means of big data and peak parking, so as to achieve better results."

  Nie Yaguang, deputy director of the Static Traffic Management Office of the Beijing Municipal Transportation Commission, said in an interview with the media that in 2018, the six districts of Beijing provided more than 20,000 parking spaces for residents by tapping the potential to build new three-dimensional parking facilities.

  Changsheng Building, located in North Xinhua Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, is close to the residential area. Under the coordination of the District Urban Management Committee and the street, Changsheng Building took out 200 parking spaces to share with the residents of Xijiaomin Lane, North Xinhua Street and Liubukou, and the parking order was greatly improved.

  The reporter learned in the parking lot of Changsheng Mansion that the monthly rent of parking spaces was adjusted from 900 yuan to 1000 yuan in July 2019. However, residents who have passed the certification of "four certificates in one" (household register, house book, ID card and driving license) can still enjoy the preferential price of 400 yuan every month.

  "Sharing parking spaces for residents not only makes it convenient for residents, but also benefits us. The 24-hour average parking space utilization rate of the parking lot has increased by nearly 20%, and everyone wins." The staff of the parking lot of Changsheng Building told reporters.

  A few days ago, the Static Traffic Management Office of the Beijing Municipal Commission of Communications said that it is studying the introduction of guidelines for sharing parking at wrong times, which will clarify the reward mechanism for parking facilities suppliers and the restraint mechanism for parking space users.

  "According to the parking census data, the potential of shared parking in Beijing is very great. Whether it is from the idle number of public parking spaces or the distance between public parking spaces and residential areas, it is conditional to carry out parking sharing." Nie Yaguang said that at present, there are about 900,000 idle parking spaces in public buildings in Beijing at night. If 50% of the idle parking spaces can be shared with residential areas at different times, about 35% of the parking gap in residential areas can be solved, which is equivalent to the total amount of parking on roads at night. This number is considerable.

Central Meteorological Observatory: Moderate-intensity cold air will affect China’s Heilongjiang, Jilin and other places with strong snowfall from the 15th.

  CCTV News:On November 14th, the Central Meteorological Observatory issued an important weather warning. Since November, the cold air affecting China has been active, and there have been two strong winds and cooling processes in the central and eastern regions; Among them, the first cold wave process occurred in the second half of the year from the 4th to the 7th, and the temperature generally dropped by 6 ~ 10℃ in the north, with heavy rain and snow in the northeast and eastern Inner Mongolia. It is estimated that from 15th to 17th, a medium-intensity cold air will affect the central and eastern regions of China, which is not as strong as the previous two processes (November 4th to 7th and 9th to 12th), but the windy and cool weather will not be absent, and there will be strong rain and snow in the northeast.

  Gale cooling forecast: from 15th to 17th, the average daily temperature in northwest China and most parts of central and eastern China will drop by 4 ~ 6℃, and the temperature in the eastern part of Northeast China will drop by more than 8℃; On the morning of 17th, the lowest temperature line of 0℃ was located in the northern part of Huanghuai to the southern part of Shaanxi, and the lowest temperature line of 10℃ was pressed south to the central part of South China (south of the current position). The above areas are accompanied by 4 ~ 6 winds, with gusts of 7 ~ 8, which can reach 9 locally. There are 6 ~ 8 northerly winds and 9 ~ 11 gusts in parts of Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea and East China Sea. In addition, on the 15th, some areas in eastern and southern Xinjiang basin, central and western Inner Mongolia, western Gansu, Ningxia, northern Qinghai, northwestern Shaanxi and other places had sand or floating dust, and local sandstorms.

  Experts remind that the temperature in the central and eastern regions continues to be low recently, and the public should pay attention to its adverse effects on human health and energy supply. In windy weather, it is necessary to stay away from temporary structures and billboards and pay attention to travel safety. In addition, there are sandstorms in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Northwest China, so the public should take relevant protection when going out and pay attention to the impact of sandstorms on traffic.

  Cold air process forecast: on the 15th, it mainly affects the central and eastern parts of northwest China, central and western Inner Mongolia and western North China; From 16th to 17th, it mainly affected Northeast China, central and eastern North China, Huanghuai, Jianghuai, Jianghan, Jiangnan and South China.

  Rain and snow forecast: from the night of the 15th to the 17th, there will be heavy snowstorms in the central and eastern Heilongjiang and eastern Jilin, and heavy snowstorms in parts of eastern Heilongjiang; The snowfall in eastern Heilongjiang and eastern Jilin is 8-20 mm, the local area is 25-35 mm, the newly added snow depth is 6-15 cm, and the local area can reach more than 25 cm (the accumulated snow depth is 20-45 cm, and the local area is more than 50 cm); There is freezing rain in the eastern part of Heilongjiang. In addition, there are sleet in parts of central and eastern Liaoning, central Jilin and northeastern Heilongjiang.

  Meteorologists have reminded that there are different degrees of snow in Heilongjiang and Jilin, and the snow in the central and eastern parts of Heilongjiang has reached 15 ~ 30 cm. Strong snowfall will increase the risk of snowstorms and low-temperature rain, snow and freezing disasters. The public should be alert to the adverse effects of rainy and snowy weather on traffic, such as slippery roads and icy roads. Pay attention to travel safety. At the same time, heavy snowfall will easily lead to the collapse of some greenhouses and livestock pens. It is necessary to clear the snow on the roof of the shed in time and do a good job of reinforcement, cold protection and heat preservation.
