Ford Focus, which was damaged by power, but chassis control is still the benchmark.

Every old car fan, or car industry practitioners, will never forget Ford Focus.

Historically, when Fox was born, it was the time when young people could own their own cars with hard work. Fox is very good in design, handling performance, chassis comfort and safety.

Compared with Toyota Corolla, Corolla, Peugeot 307 and Nissan TIIDA at that time, Fox’s young and manipulative image was very good. Honda Civic is also a latecomer, and Fox’s control is not disappointing.

Driving the early Focus, it is a 2005 hatchback 1.8L automatic transmission. The power performance is average, the 4AT gearbox is only a little better than Volkswagen 4AT, and the fuel consumption in urban areas is high. But after driving for more than two thousand kilometers, people felt what chassis control was for the first time.

One of my favorite Focus is the 2009 hatchback/sedan Focus 2.0L sports version. The set of sports seats and 5MT manual transmission are not out of date now. Coupled with the sporty design, both driving and perception are cool.

The best Fox is the self-priming version equipped with a 2.0L+6-speed dual-clutch gearbox in late 2014-15. The double clutch is provided by Gertrak, and the shift is not as fast as the Volkswagen double clutch but very smooth. Crucially, this version of Focus has smooth shifting and low fuel consumption.

However, the most beautiful Fox, personally, is the 2006 Fox ST. Once I went to Ford R&D Center in North America, I noticed that the poster of’ 06 Fox ST was still on the staff’s office wall, which shows that the design at that time was very successful.

Fox in the first ten years was still on the normal road. But I think the change of Fox happened in 2015.

The biggest change of the new Focus, which was redesigned in mid-2015, is to switch to the "Martin" front face, and then introduce two pairs of 1.0T and 1.5T turbocharged engines. Of course, a lot of electronic equipment has been added, such as automatic parking, blind spot monitoring and so on, and the new Focus finally has a large navigation screen for the first time!

Martin’s front face was used on Mondeo, and the new carnival and Forrest were used, and the modified Fox came to join in the fun. Martin’s version of Mondeo is beautiful, but it doesn’t mean that Fox with a smaller size also has this effect. At that time, when the official map of the new Fox came out, it also caused quite a controversy.

When we were in the test drive, we drove a sedan with a dark gray body for a test drive. I remember when a colleague saw us, the first sentence was: "Aren’t you trying the new Focus? How did you get Forsyth here?"

The biggest problem is Fox’s motivation, which began to decline at this time.

In 2015, the Fox automatic transmission has three sets of power configurations: 1.6L four-cylinder, 1.0T three-cylinder and 1.5T four-cylinder, which are very strange power configurations. The entry-level version of 1.6L is equipped with a "tall" dual-clutch gearbox, while the turbocharging is all equipped with a 6AT automatic gearbox. Of course, the high-end version is not equipped with a dual clutch because of the cost.

The test drive is a 1.5TEcoBoost GTDi turbocharger, and the output is 135kW/6000rpm and 240Nm/1750~4500rpm, which completely surpasses the old 2.0L naturally aspirated. However, the high noise is another disadvantage of 1.5TEcoBoost, and the sound is a bit disturbing as soon as the speed reaches 3500rpm.

The biggest problem appeared. After testing the car, I said, "Fox has returned to the era of high fuel consumption."

However, Fox never wins by power, but by chassis control.

The subframe+multi-link rear suspension, which is rare at the same level, has the greatest advantages in complex mountain roads-the rear wheels can still cling to the road even if the road surface is uneven in the corner, and the redundant vibration can be filtered out one by one. The performance of Volkswagen Golf at the same level is not as good as that of Fox.

At this time, the Fox suspension was softer, and the car body tilted badly around the pile, but the magic thing was that the soft suspension had almost no side effects on handling during cornering, and the four tires were still very close to the ground. The steering is still fast but accurate, as if you won’t understeer when you turn corners at a faster speed.

However, the adjustment of Fox in the later period of domestic production is not perfect, and the softness and long suspension, as well as the increase of the ground clearance, lead to the improvement of the center of gravity, which makes the dynamics of Fox’s body very subtle when it is pushed to the limit at high speed, and its stability is more affected than that of its peers.

Fortunately, most drivers will not drive it to the high speed limit …

Unfortunately, not every car buyer will care about these designs which increase the cost but are invisible to the naked eye. What they often see is that the rear footroom of the new Focus is still average, and the comfort of the seats is not as good as that of Japanese cars. But it’s also true.

Later, in 2019, Ford Focus finally embarked on the road of no return of all three cylinders. At this time, although there is 8AT gearbox support, Chinese people still don’t recognize the three cylinders.

There is really a lot to say about the story of Fox. But once you meet Fox with good motivation, you will release his nature and talent.

After driving the Fox ST for two generations, I enjoy the feeling of 6MT manual gear shifting, and the pleasure of twisting the front wheel and gently pulling the steering wheel to one side every time the gear shifting is accelerated. After many years, I think Fox ST is more fun than Golf GTI.

I also drove a very cracked Fox RS. Without some practice, it is difficult to handle the relationship between 6MT and 440Nm on the track. But it was really fun.

China has built a modern industrial system with complete categories.

  "China has become the only country in the world that has all the industrial categories listed in the United Nations industrial classification." At the press conference held by the State Council Press Office on September 20th, Miao Wei, Minister of Industry and Information Technology, introduced the development of industrial communication industry, saying that since the founding of New China 70 years ago, our party has United and led people of all ethnic groups across the country to successfully embark on a new industrialization development path with China characteristics, and has gone through the industrialization process of developed countries for hundreds of years, creating a miracle in the history of human development.

  "China has built a modern industrial system with complete categories, independence and integrity, and the scale of industrial economy ranks first in the world." Miao Wei said that China’s industrial added value increased from 12 billion yuan in 1952 to more than 30 trillion yuan in 2018, an increase of about 971 times at constant prices, with an average annual growth rate of 11%.

  According to World Bank data, in 2010, the added value of China’s manufacturing industry surpassed that of the United States and became the largest manufacturing country. "This marks that since the mid-19th century, after a century and a half, China has regained its position as the world’s largest manufacturing country. Take steel as an example. In 1949, China’s steel output was only 158,000 tons, accounting for only 0.1% of the world’s steel output in that year. In 2018, China’s steel output has exceeded 900 million tons, an increase of 5,799 times, accounting for half of the world’s steel output for a long time. " Miao Wei said.

  Great changes have taken place in China’s information and communication industry since the founding of New China 70 years ago. Miao Wei said that in serving the people’s lives, it has solved three major problems: less coverage, slow network speed and expensive tariffs. "In the past 70 years, we have built the largest information and communication network in the world, with the length of optical cable exceeding 45 million kilometers, the total number of telephone users reaching 1.7 billion, the number of Internet broadband access users reaching 440 million and the number of netizens reaching 854 million." Miao Wei said.

  Miao Wei said that in the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G, industrial internet and artificial intelligence, we have achieved synchronous development with the world, and even have a leading position in some areas. New formats and new models are constantly emerging. Applications in the fields of autonomous driving, smart home appliances, VR/AR, distance education and telemedicine are also in the ascendant.

  "At present, the open cooperation in the information and communication industry has reached a new level. As the most prosperous information and communication market in the world, we encourage private capital to enter the fields of mobile communication resale, broadband network access services and Internet data centers. We are also willing to share development opportunities with enterprises from all over the world and gradually improve the level of opening up in the telecommunications field. " Miao Wei said.

  In terms of technological innovation capability, the industrial communication industry has been greatly improved. "With the in-depth implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy, China has achieved ‘ Have a place ’ The strategic goal. " Miao Wei said. Taking the mobile communication industry as an example, China has achieved a historic leap of 4G synchronization and 5G leadership through 2G follow-up and 3G breakthrough, and the number of necessary patents for 5G standards ranks first in the world. Under the strong traction of information and communication technology, by the end of 2018, the scale of China’s digital economy had reached 31 trillion yuan.

Analysis of this 3-cylinder Geely 1.0T engine that really doesn’t shake.

In the current market, many automobile brands have launched three-cylinder models. Faced with the pressure of environmental protection policies and consumers’ requirements for fuel economy, more and more manufacturers will launch models equipped with three-cylinder engines. 2019 is the first year of the explosion of three-cylinder engines, and the position of small-displacement three-cylinder engines will become larger and larger in the foreseeable future.

Analysis of this 3-cylinder Geely 1.0T engine that really doesn't shake-Figure 1

Due to the congenital reason of odd cylinders, the first-order reciprocating inertia moment of three-cylinder engine is unbalanced, which is a word "shaking" in the actual driving experience, which is why many people talk about "three cylinders" and change their color. At present, the "three cylinders" at this juncture can be said to be a kind of engine form that is difficult to avoid. Then who can take the lead in doing the "three-cylinder" experience, who may seize the market first. A few days ago, Geely Automobile held an activity of "Binrui 200t 160,000km engine’s 100-hour crazy challenge with no limit" at Geely Power Research Institute in Hangzhou Bay, Ningbo.

Analysis of this 3-cylinder Geely 1.0T engine-Figure 2

Through the form of disassembly+explanation, this paper shows how Geely builds an efficient three-cylinder engine without shaking. In fact, it is not easy to disassemble an engine that has been used for a long time in the eyes of many media, because as long as the engine is slightly flawed, it may be made public by the media.

Analysis of this 3-cylinder Geely 1.0T engine-Figure 3

The engine disassembled by the technician has passed the 160,000-kilometer road test, the test of high fever, cold and harsh plateau environment, and then passed the 100-hour full-load operation test on the test bench. The simulation is the state of an engine after 8 years of use in the hands of ordinary car owners. Let’s analyze this non-shaking three-cylinder engine step by step from the cylinder head.

Analysis of this 3-cylinder Geely 1.0T engine-Figure 4

The disassembled engine model is JLF-3G10TDB, the cylinder head is made of aluminum alloy, and the integrated exhaust manifold design is adopted. At present, the purpose of the birth of a small-displacement three-cylinder engine is to "save energy efficiently". The integrated exhaust manifold can not only effectively use the exhaust temperature to help the engine warm up when starting, but also has advantages for the control of exhaust temperature and the normal work of three-way catalysis.

Analysis of this 3-cylinder Geely 1.0T engine that really doesn't shake-Figure 5

This engine is equipped with two thermostats, the "big" and the "small". The small thermostat controls the small circulation and controls the coolant to circulate in the cylinder when the engine is started. Together with the integrated exhaust manifold, this heat source can quickly make the engine reach the appropriate working temperature. When the engine is working normally, the coolant is connected to the large cycle of the whole cooling system.

Analysis of this 3-cylinder Geely 1.0T engine that really doesn't shake-Figure 6

Compared with the traditional external exhaust banana design, the integrated exhaust manifold can not only effectively utilize the waste heat generated by exhaust gas, but also shorten the path of exhaust gas to the turbine blades. With the small inertia turbine from Garrett, the 1.0L exhaust engine can still blow the turbine quickly, providing excellent response capability. In order to output a peak torque of 205Nm at 2000 rpm while ensuring the responsiveness, the designed maximum speed of this turbine reaches 290,000 rpm.

Analysis of this 3-cylinder Geely 1.0T engine that really doesn't shake-Figure 7

In terms of fuel supply system, this engine adopts direct injection in the overhead cylinder, which avoids the abnormal situation that the "wet wall" leads to the increase of engine oil. Continental has provided a 5-hole fuel injector for this engine, and the fuel injection pressure can reach 200Bar. Since the development of this engine began seven years ago, there is a certain gap compared with the 350Bar used in the latest engine, but we also learned from the conversation with engineers that Geely will continue to develop the second generation engine, and I believe that a higher pressure fuel injection system will be used at that time.

Analysis of this 3-cylinder Geely 1.0T engine that really doesn't shake-Figure 8

The cylinder body is made of cast iron. According to the engineer on site, compared with aluminum alloy, cast iron cylinder body has more advantages in shock absorption. This engine adopts the design scheme of 3mm thin cylinder wall, and the cylinder block of three-cylinder engine can usually be reduced by more than 50mm in axial length compared with that of four-cylinder engine. Therefore, thanks to the volume advantage of three-cylinder engine, the weight of cast iron cylinder block is still well controlled.

Analysis of this 3-cylinder Geely 1.0T engine that really does not shake-Figure 9

In the part of NVH management, Geely first put the engine in the semi-elimination laboratory, oriented the noise source of the whole power system through the microphone array conforming to SAE (International Society of Automata Engineers) specifications, and then analyzed the noise-emitting parts to improve the noise source.

Analysis of this 3-cylinder Geely 1.0T engine-Figure 10

Firstly, aiming at the silent design of belt and gear, in order to reduce the noise of gear and belt during transmission, Geely used composite materials between the alveoli of gear and used timing belt instead of timing chain to further reduce the noise of gear and belt during operation.

Analysis of this 3-cylinder Geely 1.0T engine-Figure 11

Geely introduced the "balance shaft" to suppress the vibration of the "three cylinders". One end of the balance shaft has a gear combined with the gear at the crankshaft end, and the first-order inertia of the engine is balanced by the design that the motion phase is opposite to the vibration. The whole balance shaft assembly is installed in the oil pan at the bottom of the vehicle. At present, there are many three-cylinder engines on the market, but not every one has a balance shaft.

Analysis of this 3-cylinder Geely 1.0T engine that really doesn't shake-Figure 12

Besides suppressing NVH of the engine itself, how to reduce the impact of vibration on the car body is equally important. Geely adopted a relatively traditional 3-point mount on the precursor of Binrui’s transverse engine. However, hydraulic bushings are used on both the left and right mounts. Compared with the practice of using hydraulic bushings only on the right side of traditional vehicles, it is obvious that the vibration isolation effect of dual hydraulic mounts is better.

Analysis of this 3-cylinder Geely 1.0T engine that really doesn't shake-Figure 13

In order to demonstrate the excellent NVH performance of this engine in an intuitive way, Geely engineers designed a "coin-standing" test. During the whole test, the coin did not fall down whether the engine was started or the speed was raised at idle speed. Although this is an engine test under no-load condition, it also reflects the NVH performance of Geely’s 1.0T engine under no-load condition. According to the on-site engineers, the displacement produced by the vibration of the seat slide rail in Binrui cockpit per second is only 0.35mm.

Analysis of this 3-cylinder Geely 1.0T engine that really doesn't shake-Figure 14

In the actual test drive, Binrui, which is equipped with a 1.0T engine, still can’t feel the vibration of the engine in the cabin under the load of four people. Trying to accelerate rapidly at the speed of 20km/h, the speed of establishing positive pressure of the turbine is almost the same as that of many larger displacement turbine engines, and the force exerted by the engine in the middle section is more rapid than that of the ordinary 2.0L naturally aspirated engine.

Analysis of this 3-cylinder Geely 1.0T engine that really doesn't shake-Figure 15

Because of the congenital reason of odd cylinders, the first-order reciprocating inertia moment of three-cylinder engine is unbalanced, which is the congenital defect of "three cylinders". I believe that even Newton’s old man could not wash the floor when he was alive. However, today’s engine technology has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with 20 -30 years ago, whether it is the accuracy of overall parts processing or the breakthrough in materials science. The change of the overall automobile industry environment has also made the "three cylinders" shoulder a more important mission. The "three cylinders" have reason to become better, and Geely has taken the lead in taking a solid step.

 

Analysis of this 3-cylinder Geely 1.0T engine that really doesn't shake-Figure 16

The 1.0T engine carried by Binrui is a brand-new product of Geely iNTEC technology brands, and it is the first 1.0TD engine independently developed by Geely. Through engine disassembly, we can see that it is not a product that blindly pursues "cheap". Geely’s intentions are reflected in the use of parts from internationally renowned suppliers and the design of NVH suppression. As early as 2010, Geely put forward the "technical Geely" strategy, and this 1.0TD engine is a microcosm of the "technical Geely" strategy.

Before Rene Liu became famous, his prominent family was exposed and he longed for ordinary family and marriage life.

  


  According to Chengdu Daily, on April 12th, the long-awaited Rene Liu Sleepwalking Concert in Chengdu will be sung in the warm spring. Many people know that Rene Liu was discovered by Bobby Chen, a Bole, when he was working as an assistant to Bobby Chen, but few people know that this artist, who is famous for his intellectuality and peace in the entertainment industry, has a prominent life experience.


  After Rene Liu became famous, her life story was inevitably dug up by the media. However, the prominent life story is a topic that she has been deliberately avoiding, but it is a hard assistant life, which she often mentions. She said that the years when she worked as an assistant for Bobby Chen were her happiest days. Rene Liu, a native of Hunan, was born in Taipei in June 1970. Although Rene Liu complained more than once that the media exposed her age, and she was very reluctant to talk about her family background, because she believed that her outstanding family background and her parents’ achievements had nothing to do with her acting career. Regarding the life of a young rich girl, Rene Liu said calmly: "Like all ordinary children, I have the care of my family and grow up in happiness and sweetness."


  It is understood that Rene Liu’s grandfather graduated from Whampoa Military Academy, his grandmother was a well-known lady, his father was an ocean-going captain, and after retiring, he founded a film and television company with his friends, and his mother was an overseas Chinese in Korea. Rene Liu’s family also has a sister, and the sisters have a harmonious relationship. When Rene Liu was two years old, her parents separated because of personality differences. At the age of three, Rene Liu had to live with her grandparents. Rene Liu said, "When I was a child, my grandparents could give me more than my parents did. Men like my grandfather have always been all my fantasies about men. " Rene Liu recalled, "At that time, there was an old adjutant in Grandpa’s family, who was subordinate to Grandpa’s father. The old adjutant took care of the Liu family for four generations without any regrets, and he had many excellent qualities, which still affected my growth." Rene Liu began to learn piano when he was 9 years old, so grandma spent almost most of her savings. Rene Liu’s future marriage life is to tutor children to play the piano while taking care of their own children! (Chen Huiru)

Q1 car new power battery supporting analysis

According to the data of the Power Battery Application Branch, in the first quarter of this year, the installed capacity of power batteries in the Chinese market was about 85.7GWh, an increase of 24.3% year-on-year. During the same period, ChinaAutomobile production was about 2.115 million, an increase of 28.1% year-on-year.

It is worth noting that in the first quarter of this year, new forces or new brands such as Li Auto, Wenjie, Ai’an, NIO, Zero Run, Deep Blue, Extreme Krypton, Landu, and Avita, with their rapidly growing production and sales, drove the installed capacity of power batteries to 23.9GWh, accounting for 27.9% of the total installed capacity.

Since the beginning of this year, several leading new forces have been deeply loved by consumers due to their improvement in vehicle intelligence and power performance, and continue to enjoy a strong sales trend. This is especially true as various automakers continue to increase their battery capacity in pure electric battery life and extended range battery life. It is expected that the installed capacity of new automakers will continue to rise rapidly this year.

Battery China has sorted out the production and battery supporting information of major new power automakers in the first quarter of this year for reference.

Li Auto:,Honeycomb Energy provides power battery matching

Among the new forces, Li Auto’s production and delivery are at the forefront of the industry, and its impact on power battery manufacturers is currently the greatest.

In the first quarter of this year, Li Auto battery suppliers mainly included three companies: Ningde Times, Xinwangda and Honeycomb Energy. Among them, Ningde Times is equipped with ideal L7/8/9 and ideal MEGA, with a total installed capacity of 4.2GWh, accounting for 93.6% of the ideal battery supplier system; Xinwangda and Honeycomb Energy are mainly equipped with ideal L7 models, with a total installed capacity of about 287.4MWh.

Ask the World: Ningde Times provides power battery matching

At present, Qinjie’s battery suppliers are still exclusively supplied by Ningde Era. In the first quarter of this year, Qinjie mainly sold three models, M5/7/9, which drove the installed capacity of Ningde Era’s power battery to 3.7GWh during the same period. At present, Qinjie’s highest sales volume is M7. In the first quarter of this year, only one M7 model drove the installed capacity of Ningde Era to 2.8GWh.

Ai An: Zhongchuang Xinhang,(Rights protection), Ningde era,Provide power battery matching

As a major brand of new energy in the GAC series, Aian New Energy has performed relatively strongly in recent years. In the first quarter of this year, the installed capacity of power batteries was about 3.5GWh, and the main battery suppliers were China Innovation Aviation (1.5GWh), Yiwei Lithium Energy (1GWh), Ningde Times (0.7GWh) and Funeng Technology (0.3GWh).

Although there is a certain gap between the output of Aian New Energy in the first quarter and the ideal, given that the latter two are mainly extended-range models, while Aian is currently mainly pure electric models, there is a gap between the electric capacity of extended-range models and pure electric vehicles. Therefore, there is not a big gap between Aian New Energy and the latter two in the contribution of battery installations in the first quarter.

Zero car: Honeycomb Energy, Zhongchuang Xinhang,, Zhengli New Energy, Ruipu Lanjun provide power battery matching

In view of the fact that Zero Run is also vigorously promoting its range-extended models, its total installed capacity in the first quarter was about 1.7GWh. At present, Zero Run car battery suppliers are relatively scattered, with 6 battery companies supporting in the first quarter. The most installed capacity is Honeycomb Energy (0.55GWh), Zhongchuang SIA (0.46GWh), and Guoxuan Hi-Tech (0.36GWh).

NIO: Ningde Times, Zhongchuang Xinhang, and Weilan New Energy provide power battery matching

NIO’s current models are also pure electric models, so its first quarter contribution of power battery installed capacity reached 2.9GWh. At present, NIO’s main battery supplier is Ningde Times, with 2.1GWh installed capacity in the first quarter, accounting for 71.7%; followed by China Innovation Aviation, with 679.6MWh installed capacity, accounting for 23.1%. In addition, Weilan New Energy also supported NIO with 152.4MWh power battery in the first quarter.

Deep Blue Car: Ningde Times and Zhongchuang Xinhang provide power battery matching

The current main models of Deep Blue Automobile are Deep Blue S7 and Deep Blue SL03. The installed capacity of the power battery in the first quarter was about 1.3GWh. Its models are also pure electric and range-extending. In terms of battery suppliers, the first quarter of Deep Blue Automobile was mainly powered by CATL and China Innovation Aviation.

XPeng Motors: Zhongchuang Xinhang, Yiwei Lithium Energy, Xinwangda, Ningde Times, Honeycomb Energy provide power battery matching

XPeng Motors currently has a variety of models such as X9, G9, G6, P7, P5, etc. In the first quarter, the MPV model X9 drove about 975.3MWh of power battery installed capacity, ranking first.

At present, XPeng Motors’ battery suppliers are more diverse, with Zhongchuang Xinhang and Yiwei Lithium Energy as its core battery suppliers. At the same time, Xinwangda, Ningde Times, and Honeycomb Energy are also available.

Extreme Krypton Automobile: Ningde Times, Xinwangda, and Extreme Electric New Energy provide power battery matching

Extreme Krypton Automobile produced more than 20,000 cars in the first quarter. The main models are Extreme Krypton 001, Extreme Krypton 007, Extreme Krypton 009 and Extreme Krypton X. The installed capacity of power batteries in the first quarter was about 1.9GWh. At present, its battery suppliers are mainly Ningde Times (1.3GWh), Xinwangda (269.1MWh) and Extreme Electric New Energy (241.2MWh).

Lantu Automobile: Ningde Times, Honeycomb Energy, Freddy Battery, Funeng Technology, etc. provide power battery matching

In the first quarter of this year, the output of Lantu cars is about 17,000 vehicles, the main models are Lantu Dreamer, Lantu Chasing Light and Lantu FREE, etc., driving the installed capacity of power batteries is about 595.9MWh, and the battery suppliers are Ningde Times, Honeycomb Energy, Freddy Battery, Funeng Technology, Samsung SDI.

Nezha Automobile: Yiwei Lithium Energy, Ningde Times, Guoxuan Hi-Tech, Honeycomb Energy, etc. provide power battery matching

Nezha Automobile produced about 10,000 vehicles in the Chinese market in the first quarter of this year, driving about 0.6GWh of power battery installed capacity. Supporting battery suppliers include Yiwei Lithium Energy, Ningde Times, Guoxuan Hi-Tech, Honeycomb Energy,And Zhengli New Energy. Among them, Yiwei Lithium Energy is its largest supplier, with an installed capacity of about 0.4GWh.

Since the beginning of this year, the price war among car companies has become more intense, and the sales of new forces have begun to gradually diverge. At the same time, at the end of the first quarter, Xiaomi Auto also officially joined the battle. I believe that there will be considerable fluctuations in the market ranking in the future, which will have an impact on the installed capacity and ranking of power battery suppliers. We will continue to track and observe.

A wave of blockbuster new cars is coming in December! Brand new Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BYD Song L… Which one is your favorite?

As the last month of 2023, although the large-scale auto exhibition in China has come to an end, it is a key sprint battle for car companies. In addition to promotional policies, there are many new cars worthy of attention that will be launched in December, so whether these new cars will realize consumers’ "car purchase dream", let’s play a game today.

Xingyue L Zhiqing, Xingrui L Zhiqing

Realize the model layout of fuel, oil mix and plug-in mix

Xingyue L Zhiqing has launched two models, the Galaxy Edition and the Tiangong Edition, and Xingrui L Zhiqing has launched three models, the Nebula Edition, the Galaxy Edition and the Tiangong Edition. The biggest highlight of these two models is undoubtedly the Chinese Star Intelligent Dual Engine System, which is a new hybrid member in addition to the Xingyue L self-fuel car model and plug-in hybrid model. It is also the first time that Xingrui L, the first model to use the CMA platform, has introduced a hybrid model.

The overall appearance of both cars is closer to the design of traditional fuel vehicles. The Xingyue L Smart Engine does not adopt the more inductive and bolder design of its plug-in hybrid model, but returns to tradition, using Geely’s classic straight waterfall air intake grille, and adds a circle of chrome decoration to the middle net, which is more mature and generous, consistent with the overall tough style of the body. Unlike the Xingyue L Smart Engine, its straight waterfall grille does not add a circle of chrome decoration, so it appears younger and more fashionable rather than mature and dignified, and the car’s performance of youthful dynamics is relatively easier.

(Xingyue L Zhiqing)

(Xingrui L Zhiqing)

In addition to some small changes in the appearance of the two cars, the power system of the two cars is the focus of the change. First of all, the power system of the two new cars is the same. One of the highlights of this power system is the dual motor layout of the P1 + P2 and the 1.5T four-cylinder engine. Previously, the plug-in hybrid model of Xingyue L was equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder engine. For buyers who do not accept three-cylinder engines, Xingyue L Smart Engine can make people feel at ease. The engine adopts Miller cycle, with a maximum power of 120kW (163Ps), a peak torque of 255N · m, a total motor power of 100kW (136Ps), and a peak torque of 320N · m. The whole system matches the 3DHT gearbox, Xingyue L Zhiqing’s official 100-kilometer acceleration is 7.9S, WLTC’s comprehensive fuel consumption is 4.79L/100km, Xingrui L Zhiqing’s official 100-kilometer acceleration is 7.5S, and WLTC’s comprehensive fuel consumption is 4.22L/100km.

Secondly, to briefly talk about Geely’s intelligent engine system, first of all, the new 1.5T four-cylinder engine has a thermal efficiency of up to 44.26%. It uses the Miller cycle instead of the Atkinson cycle, achieving the world’s top level in terms of calorific value efficiency. The Miller cycle engine is better than the Atkinson cycle engine in terms of torque output and noise.

The core is the 3DHT electric drive with three mechanical gears. First of all, Geely has established a new production line for its special planetary gear design and high-demand materials and manufacturing processes. This 3DHT is actually equivalent to the effect of 4AT, mainly used at medium and high speeds, which can maximize the fuel economy at medium and high speeds. Compared with traditional hybrid models, the single-speed electric drive has a huge fuel consumption advantage.

Review:In the current environment where Chinese brands focus on plug-in hybrids, Geely launched a gasoline-electric hybrid model for two hot-selling models. For users without charging equipment, the fuel economy effect brought by the gasoline-electric hybrid is better than that of the same model with a large battery. For brands, it also completes the coverage of the power system.

Landmap Chasing Light PHEV will be launched on December 5

Won the "2023 China’s Top Ten Body" without listing

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new long wheelbase E-Class are 5092/1880/1493mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 3094mm.

In terms of details, the new car adopts a closed front face shape, and the polygonal headlight group is connected by the central light strip. With the closed front grille, the whole car looks more refined through the cutting and simplifying modeling ideas.

In addition, the addition of narrow ladder air intakes also increases the visual layering and fashionable atmosphere of the vehicle. The air inlet shape of the pure electric version and the extended range version models is different.

(Extended Range Version)

(Pure electric version)

In terms of power, the M9 will be available in extended range and pure electric versions. Previously, the official has declared pure electric models, with drive motors rated at 62kW and 88kW, and peak power at 160kW and 230kW, respectively.

Review:In addition to the unannounced interior, that is, Huawei’s core cockpit and smart driving configuration, the so-called "best SUV in the 10 million" will face the market at what official price, because the current pre-sale price of 50-600,000 yuan can highlight the identity of its own brand flagship SUV, but whether it can grab the market share of luxury brands in the future, it is still necessary to inform through the official listing.

If the later listing can be adjusted, I believe it is also a model that everyone should not miss.

Under high temperatures, residents’ consumption is diverse: takeout is on fire, and entertainment venues are popular

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, August 4Topic: Consumer consumption in high summer temperatures

  Xinhua News Agency reporter

  Many places across the country have experienced hot weather above 35 degrees Celsius one after another. In the scorching sun and sweltering heat, people have chosen to look for "coolness". As a result, residents’ living habits have begun to change, and consumer demand has also seen new trends. This summer, takeout has become popular, online shopping has flourished, and entertainment venues that are cool have exploded in popularity… Scenes of fiery scenes have hooked up the consumption patterns of residents under high temperatures.

  Avoid the "hot sun" and we will consume

  At the Huiju shopping mall in Beijing’s South Fifth Ring Road, after 8pm, the crowds are still busy, and some popular restaurants are hard to find. "The mall has sufficient air conditioning, entertainment services are relatively complete, customers are reluctant to cook at home, and traffic counting has increased significantly," said the person in charge of a fast food store.

  At night, the front of the 1,200 snack stalls in Haikou’s 300-meter-long snack street, which has a variety of characteristics from all over the world, is full of people. "It’s too hot during the day, so I only come out at night to make up for my daytime life," said Huang Linlin, 22, who formed a long queue in front of a local time-honored "refreshing" stall.

  On Shuixiangkou Street in Haikou, many snack bars open after 7pm and stay open until 1am or 2am, often "full" at midnight. The person in charge of the Haikou Night Market Association said that the traffic of night markets in July increased by about 15% month-on-month.

  At a barbecue restaurant near Chengdu’s West Third Ring Road, reporters saw that the shop, which can accommodate nearly 100 people, was almost always full from the first table of customers arriving at 5:30 p.m. until nearly 10 p.m. The store’s signature dish, grilled pork belly, sells more than 1,000 skewers a day.

  The owner, Deng Yong, said that the business of the barbecue restaurant is positively related to the temperature. Every year, the business starts to improve in April, increasing month by month, and reaching a peak in August.

  In response to the active situation in the catering, entertainment, and cultural industries after nightfall, relevant departments in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, and other places have successively introduced policies to encourage nighttime consumption, enrich the supply of nighttime catering, culture, art, and tourism products, and innovate management models.

  At the same time that the night market in Neliang is booming, takeaway is also popular, especially "hot" cold dishes and ice products. According to the latest data provided by Meituan, Ele.me and other companies, the number of takeaway orders for cold dishes such as mixed dishes, salads, cold skin, cold noodles, popsicles and ice products has increased significantly week-on-week ratio.

  Beijing Hema Fresh and other new retail companies have started chilling with the help of fast picking and the whole cold chain. "This year, the ice watermelon service was launched for the first time, and customers placed an order directly online and got chilled watermelons." According to the person in charge of Hema, each Hema store is equipped with an ice-cold area. In addition to watermelon, there are also various drinks and beers, which can quickly deliver these summer products to customers.

  "This year, we mainly focus on small melons, generally between 1.5kg and 2.5kg, to meet the needs of a family of three to eat melons." Zhao Ning, the relevant person in charge of Hema Fruit in Beijing, said that the ice watermelon has nearly doubled since its listing.

  The reporter learned that in Beijing, Shanghai, Haikou and other places, the sales of household appliances are crowded, and merchants have launched various promotional activities such as trade-in. Sales of air conditioners and fans are very popular.

  A salesperson at an electrical appliance store in Haikou told reporters that the most people buy movable air-conditioning fans. Mr. Tu, who purchased air conditioners on site, said: "I just bought two new air conditioners, but due to the large number of people buying air conditioners, the schedule of air-conditioning installers is very full, and the installation of air conditioners will take a few days."

  In Guangzhou, a handheld fan that is easy to carry, USB chargeable, and has a small and cute design has swept the market. In offices, on the road, and on buses, some people can see it everywhere as a heat-relieving device.

  Cuckoo is an internet brand owned by appliance company Midea, which focuses on developing products with an internet mindset. Cuckoo launched a portable handheld fan product at the end of April this year, which is a hit because of its careful design and powerful functions. "The weather is hot this year, and many users have strong demand for outdoor summer products, and the product has been well received by the market after launch," said Han Han, the brand’s product director.

  Cultural tourism thermoelectric cinema becomes a new "summer resort"

  Under the high temperature, "where to go for summer vacation" has become a big problem, and the cinema that provides air-conditioning has become a new generation of "summer resort". The birth of the domestic animation "Nezha’s Devil Child" has attracted groups of audiences to the cinema.

  At a movie theater in Haikou, reporters saw that the chairs in the waiting area for the movie were full. Liu Ping, a citizen, said: "The movie theater has air conditioning and can watch a good show. I just want to sleep in the movie theater."

  Liu Dong, general manager of Haikou Yixin Cinema, said that since the beginning of the summer vacation, from 2 noon to 8 pm is the "prime time" for watching movies. The box office has increased by about 30% compared with usual. The weather is relatively hot, and watching movies has become an important way to entertain during the summer vacation.

  The emergence of new tourist attractions has also given summer tourists a new place to go. The online travel platform Qunar launched the "2019 Summer Beijing Tourism Heat List", which shows that as the fastest growing tourist attraction this year, the Expo ranked fourth in Beijing this summer, after the Forbidden City, the Badaling Great Wall, and the Yuanmingyuan. The average price of homestays in Yanqing area rose by 41% compared with 2018.

Meituan Releases the First "Polaris Medical and Aesthetic Institutions List" to Help Improve the Quality and Efficiency of the Service Retail Industry

The medical beauty industry is entering a new stage of professional development. On August 25, Meituan officially released the 2023 "Polaris Medical Beauty Institutions List" in Chengdu, covering 6 cities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu and Hangzhou for the first time. A total of 45 professional medical beauty institutions were selected.

As the first institutional list based on user word-of-mouth evaluation and medical professional strength, Meituan Polaris aims to create a new standard for medical beauty selection stores, provide consumers with a safe and attentive guide to a better life, and help the high-quality development of service retail with digitalization. It is understood that this is the first practice of Meituan’s "dual-track evaluation system" on the institutional side.

Deeply cultivate the medical beauty industry and advocate the selection criteria for medical beauty stores

Since exploring the medical beauty industry in 2017, Meituan has been deeply involved in the field of medical beauty for more than 6 years, continuously linking the upper, middle and lower reaches of the medical beauty industry through digital technology, innovating service models, optimizing service experience, and promoting the development of the industry towards standardization, chain, and branding.

As the medical beauty industry matures, consumers’ professionalism continues to improve, placing higher demands on medical services. "Compared with the price, the safety and professionalism of the institution are the most concerned points in my daily choice." Ms. Wang, from Chengdu, has made projects such as water and light hydration and photon skin rejuvenation as new options for daily care.

Meituan’s latest research data shows that "safety" is the most concerned point for more than 50% of consumers who have not yet experienced medical aesthetic services, and more than 70% of consumers make independent decisions based on medical aesthetic knowledge. More and more consumers will actively recommend planting grass to people around them because of the professionalism they feel when they go to the store.

To this end, Meituan Medical Beauty upgraded its store selection evaluation system and launched the Polaris Medical Beauty Organization List. The first Meituan Polaris List covers Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu and Hangzhou. Among the 45 institutions on the list, including 27 comprehensive strength-based, 9 doctor-entrepreneurial, 6 service experience-based and other types of stores, presenting a new look of a diverse medical beauty market to meet consumers’ more refined and specialized store selection needs.

In order to select these high-quality medical beauty institutions, on the basis of a large number of real user evaluations on the platform, Meituan Polaris list introduces medical professional ability evaluation, and joins industry authoritative experts and senior medical beauty consumers to create a new standard for the evaluation of medical beauty institutions with dual attributes of consumption and medical care. Meituan Polaris list covers five dimensions: qualification level, doctor strength, service experience, environmental atmosphere, and user reputation, of which the two dimensions of qualification level and doctor strength are the most critical.

Meituan medical beauty industry leader Liu Rong said that in order to consolidate medical professionalism, the list has established a "medical professional jury" to evaluate and score the medical professional capabilities and service experience of institutions. Combined with the anonymous survey of medical beauty consumers and the double verification of platform word-of-mouth data, many medical safety details hidden under the "iceberg" are included in the selection points. It is understood that Meituan Polaris has more than 140 evaluation dimensions and conducts all-round assessments of institutions.

Professor Cao Yilin, director of the National Tissue Engineering Center, said: "Today’s beauty seekers, after planting grass online, often need to go to three offline institutions before they dare to make consumption decisions with confidence. Standardization of medical and aesthetic services is imperative. The release of the Meituan Polaris medical and aesthetic institution list will help consumers know good institutions, find good institutions, and play the leading force of’Polaris’."

Developing a professional "dual-track evaluation system" to promote new development in the industry

Since the beginning of this year, the online service industry has maintained 80% growth, the supply of the service market has accelerated recovery, and service consumption in health and other fields has continued to pick up. In August, the National Bureau of Statistics released retail sales data for the first time. From January to July, our country’s service retail sales increased by 20.3% year-on-year.

As an important part of consumer healthcare, the medical beauty market has strong endogenous momentum. According to the "2023 Annual Insights Report on China’s Medical Beauty Industry" released by Deloitte, China’s medical beauty market is expected to achieve a 20% growth rate in consumption in 2023, and the market is expected to maintain a compound annual growth rate of about 15% in the next four years. As the medical beauty industry develops towards standardization and refinement, professional capabilities have become the second curve driving institutional growth, and the establishment of a professional-centered medical beauty consumption decision-making system has increasingly become an industry consensus.

"Medical services have a professional cognitive threshold, and Meituan Medical Beauty has always been in awe, doing a good job of’translators’ and’converters’ between consumers and professional services, helping consumers understand institutions and services simply and conveniently, while also providing differentiated value increments for institutions," Liu Rong said. 

The release of Meituan’s North Star list is an important part of the construction of the medical beauty professional system. According to Liu Rong, medical beauty consumers usually encounter two types of information gaps, which are caused by opaque information and high industry awareness thresholds. In the first stage of medical beauty professional capacity building, the platform is committed to using digitalization to solve the problems of medical beauty information transparency and service standardization, and ensure consumers’ deterministic experience. Meituan data shows that after standardized transformation of medical beauty services, online orders can increase by 25% compared with before the transformation.

After entering a new stage of development, Meituan Medical Beauty uses digitalization to fill the "professional gap" faced by consumers. On the one hand, through the dual-track evaluation system and list, more "treasure stores" have digital business cards; on the other hand, adhere to popular science, Meituan’s "lightning rod" content products are consulted by more than 80,000 people every day. According to insiders, Meituan will also release a list of professional doctors to build a full-link service from store selection to doctor selection.

Meituan Medical Beauty’s in-depth exploration of the "digital + professional" integration model is expected to further promote the standardization and standardization of the industry. At the press conference, Wuhou District and Meituan Medical Beauty signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two sides will jointly promote the construction of a strong chain in Chengdu’s medical beauty industry and help Chengdu’s "medical beauty capital" to speed up the construction.

"Service retail is the track of Changpo thick snow. Meituan will continue to deepen the medical value of medical beauty services, use digitalization to help professionalization, and use specialization to feed long-term operation of institutions, so that more consumers can see’starlight ‘, and let more high-quality institutions become’starlight’. Together with the majority of merchants, we will improve the online rate and standardization level of the industry, and help the high-quality development of the service retail industry." Li Xiaohui, head of Meituan’s beauty and medical business, said.

The sale of "WeChat group bombs" on the Internet can cause users’ mobile phones to crash.

  The online "fried group" code is generally one in 10 yuan.

  Recently, some netizens said that their WeChat was used well and was suddenly pulled into a group. Then, the mobile phone crashed, and nothing could be opened, and they could not exit the chat box, and even flashed back. Many netizens have encountered the same situation when using WeChat, and it can’t be solved whether it is restarted or disconnected.

  It is understood that this situation in WeChat group chat is likely to be "bombed". The so-called "WeChat group bomb" is to send some character codes, a large number of animations or expressions in WeChat group chat, which takes up a lot of mobile phone space, causing all users who receive messages to be overwhelmed.

  Recently, a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily found that it only takes a few tens of dollars to buy a WeChat "bombing group" code that can cause other people’s mobile phones to crash. There are even people who specialize in the business of "bombing on behalf of" and "defusing".

  Personal WeChat was "bombed" to paralysis

  A few days ago, Xiaobin, who is doing business in Wechat business, sent a message in the WeChat circle of friends. "From yesterday afternoon to today, WeChat was hacked by unscrupulous people, and it was always embarrassing. The group wanted to return it and could not return it." Xiaobin told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that on the 21st, she didn’t know who was dragged into a group, and then a lot of group chat information poured in, trying to open it to see what it was, but the phone crashed at the moment of entering the group chat. "Group chat and WeChat can’t be retired, and they are stuck in the interface, so they can only turn off the phone and restart it."

  Xiaobin said that this is the first time that she has encountered this situation. Such a thing has affected her business. "When I open WeChat, I get stuck, and the information sent by customers and businesses can’t be seen at all." After the incident, Xiaobin tried to quit the group several times, but every time he didn’t enter the group chat page, his mobile phone got stuck. "There is no way to quit. The information of the group chat has been brushed and the mobile phone has been ringing." Xiaobin’s friend told her that she had met a "bombing group" and that someone might come to her for money to "eliminate the disaster" later. Xiaobin feels that he may have been "persecuted" by his peers because his business is too good.

  The reporter of Beiqing Daily found that there are not a few netizens who have encountered WeChat’s "bombing group". Xiaotian, a netizen, said that a group of friends had used a "group bomb" in the group before. As long as they clicked into the group, the mobile phone crashed.

  It is understood that this so-called "group bomb" is actually sending some codes in the group chat of WeChat. After the WeChat group is attacked, it will cause all users who receive messages on WeChat to chat and get stuck, and may even flash back and get stuck.

  "Generation bombing" 5 hours charge 150 yuan

  So where does this "bomb" that requires certain technology come from? According to a survey conducted by the reporter of Beiqing Daily, on the Internet, the "bombing group" and "WeChat group bomb" can be bought for tens of dollars on Taobao, and some people even started the business of "bombing on behalf of others".

  Some sellers said that the WeChat bombing group is very simple, just send the code to the group.

  Some merchants also claim that if they feel that it is troublesome to "bomb", they can provide "bombing" service. A seller told the reporter of Beiqing Daily that "bombing on behalf of others" means that you pull him into the group and he will help you "bomb the group" and 150 yuan for five hours. Regarding whether the group can be "bombed" until it is dissolved, the seller said, "Just pay the money, and don’t worry about the rest."

  At the same time, the reporter of Beiqing Daily also found that these merchants selling "WeChat group bombs" can also provide bombing services while selling the "WeChat group bombs" service. When sellers promote "WeChat group bombs", they often tell buyers, "If necessary, they can help ‘ Decompose ’ , ranging from 20 to 60 at a time, depending on what it is ‘ Bomb ’ 。”

  Some buyers "vent their anger" or ask for red envelopes.

  Subsequently, the reporter of Beiqing Daily randomly purchased a "WeChat group bomb", and after paying 20 yuan, the seller sent a "bomb" code. After getting the code, the reporter of Beiqing Daily sent the code to a temporary group of friends. After sending it, the speed of opening the group obviously slowed down. After about 5 minutes of uninterrupted sending the code to the temporary group, the WeChat of the group members was stuck and could not be started.

  Ms. Liang, who once operated the "WeChat group bomb" business, revealed to the reporter of Beiqing Daily that there are many people doing the "bombing group" business, and some have formed a special "bombing group studio". Some people buy the "bombing group" service to spoof, but this is relatively rare. The main purchases are people who lost money while gambling, and people who have disputes and contradictions with others. Many people use it to vent their anger or feel avenged. There are also some people with ulterior motives who "bomb" themselves in groups, and when they "bomb", they ask the people in the group for red envelopes to "explode".

  Tencent: Those who "bomb the group" will be given titles.

  Regarding the frequent occurrence of "bombing" by WeChat users, the reporter of Beiqing Daily learned from the public relations department of Tencent that on July 6, Tencent had issued relevant announcements on this matter, saying that the so-called "bombing" of WeChat was not a vulnerability or hacking of WeChat system, and it had nothing to do with viruses or Trojans. Its principle is to make use of the system characteristics of special characters, artificially overlapping many times, resulting in a large amount of system performance being consumed in a short time when clicking this content, thus causing screen jamming or software collapse. Simply put, your mobile phone CPU is occupied by a large area in an instant.

  For behaviors that affect other users’ normal use of WeChat or mobile phones or even blackmail others through the so-called "group bombing" behavior, according to Tencent WeChat Software License and Service Agreement, relevant users who violate the rules will be punished according to the specific degree of violation and the principle of step-by-step punishment, including but not limited to restricting functions and closing accounts.

  Once the user encounters a "bombing group", he can temporarily disconnect the network, restart WeChat, long press the group name or left stroke in the WeChat message list, and select "Delete this chat", and the historical group messages (including bombing group information) will be cleared. You can also log on to the WeChat computer version to delete or unsubscribe the new burst message, and notify the WeChat group owner to remove the person who posted the burst message in time to avoid other users being affected by the burst message.

  At the same time, Tencent said that users can complain about such behaviors through the complaint system.

  Lawyer: "bombing the group" infringes on the interests of others.

  Regarding the fact that someone used the code to "bomb the group", Han Xiao, a lawyer of Beijing Kangda Law Firm, said that, first of all, the behavior of "bombing the group" would have a certain impact on the lives of others and infringe on their rights and interests.

  Secondly, some people "bombed the group" in order to ask for a "red envelope", so this kind of direct intention has the purpose of illegally extorting other people’s property. If the behavior of asking others to send a red envelope to solve the bombing after "bombing the group" reaches the level of threat and blackmail, then according to the "Regulations of the Supreme People’s Court on the Determination Standard of the Amount of Extortion Crime" implemented on April 28, 2000, extortion of public and private property is "a large amount" If the WeChat bombing group is repeated or the amount reaches 1,000 to 3,000 yuan, it can constitute the crime of extortion.
