Ele.me launches "Barrier-Free Festival" for visually impaired users: free shopping does not close, and care does not stop

  Recently, a news about the "Barrier-Free Day" has caused heated discussions on the Internet, and many netizens have asked: What is the "Barrier-Free Day"? The reporter learned that Ele.me recently announced that August 7 will be designated as the "Barrier-Free Day", and will send benefits to visually impaired users every year from this year.

  On the day of the free-order festival, the platform offers free-order for visually impaired users: no need to guess the answer, no need to grab time, and no total quota. The first catering order of the day can be free of charge for up to 39 yuan. This is also the second consecutive year that Ele.me has launched a special free-order event for visually impaired users.

  The sense of participation of minorities, that is, the responsibility of marketing activities

  According to the data released by the China Disabled Persons’ Federation, the total number of disabled people in our country has exceeded 85 million. The number is huge, but they are rarely seen – because they rarely go out. Because of this, the issue of disabled people has always been a hot topic of attention from all walks of life in the country and society.

  According to data, more than half of visually impaired people choose to order takeout to solve their daily diet, and more than 70% of visually impaired users use Ele.me. The large visually impaired group relies heavily on takeout apps, so Ele.me has always paid great attention to the experience of visually impaired users, gained insight into the needs of the disabled group, and carried out many benefits and activities for visually impaired users to send warmth to everyone.

  Barrier-free environment is an important basic condition for facilitating the full participation of special groups such as the disabled, the sick, the elderly, and the young in social life. At the same time, it is also a key factor in improving the quality of life and service level in urban environments.

  "Will there be free Ele.me this year? There was one last year, and now it’s almost that time again." A user named "Star Magic" posted a question on the Zhidu forum, an online community for the visually impaired. Their discussion has been followed by Ele.me.

  According to the relevant person in charge of Ele.me, this year’s free-order rules are similar to those of last year. Since Ele.me cannot directly identify visually impaired users, users who have opened the Ele.me App using screen-reading software between July 5 and August 5 (this is the operation of visually impaired people using mobile phones) will automatically enjoy free-order eligibility.

  Zhao Zhiguo, spokesperson for the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, recently mentioned that we will continue to promote the results of information accessibility construction and guide 1,735 mainstream commonly used websites and mobile apps to complete the senior-friendly transformation. The implementation of a series of relevant policies and regulations has provided a strong guarantee for the construction of a barrier-free environment in our country, helping all sectors of society to actively participate in the construction of a barrier-free environment and improve the well-being of the people with disabilities.

  The benefits are not closed, and the care is not stopped. "Last year’s free-order activity for visually impaired users received a very enthusiastic response. Recently, we also saw some netizens concerned about the situation this year in the forum for visually impaired people." The original intention of the free-order activity is to make more people happy, and we will not forget visually impaired users this year, and plan to stick to it every year. "

  Welfare is one aspect, and more importantly, visually impaired people believe that they are cared for and valued, which is the reason why they are happier.

  In recent years, our country has continued to introduce relevant policies to promote the construction of barrier-free facilities and services. On June 28, at the third meeting of the Standing Committee of the 14th National People’s Congress, the Barrier-free Environment Construction Law was officially voted and will come into effect on September 1, 2023, providing a strong legal guarantee for the construction of barrier-free environment in our country.

  From a business perspective, due to the small user base, most companies rarely launch targeted product launches and activities for visually impaired people, making it difficult to customize activities that suit their experience.

  Therefore, in some large-scale marketing activities, under the conditions permitted by the platform or enterprise capabilities, it is a useful exploration to integrate activities that are more convenient for visually impaired users to participate in. When more and more enterprises join, they can enhance the consensus of disadvantaged groups in social care.

  As some netizens said in a message, the social treatment of minorities is a silhouette of the degree of civilization in a society. To pay attention to them is to pay attention to everyone, because anyone may become a minority.

  From helping popular science to supporting merchants, the sense of social responsibility of "playing" free of charge

  In fact, although giving benefits is a public welfare activity, it hides the attribute of "popular science" behind it. Since the main activity of free shopping is "guessing the answer and free shopping", Ele.me invited many professional institutions, experts and scholars to pose questions, and developed it into a large-scale popular science platform with the help of the traffic of the event itself.

  For example, on July 20, "China Aerospace News" was invited to publish a popular science project about China’s lunar exploration project, and Shanghai Fire Protection also published a popular science topic about the "trivia" that cannot be placed in the home at will, which is easy to cause fires.

Aerospace experts pose a popular science question about China’s moon landing plan

  There are also institutions such as Qingdao Anti-Fraud Center, Jinan Ecological Environment Bureau, and China Packaging Federation, which have been invited to provide happy popular science for netizens in the form of questions. The fields are diverse enough, the content is practical enough, and the interaction is interesting enough, so that the participants can sow the seeds of knowledge and curiosity in an unconsciously happy atmosphere.

  This type of activity exploration has given special groups a sense of inclusive participation, allowing platform companies to root their business development in social needs. This has undoubtedly opened up avenues for other platforms and brands, providing an excellent reference sample.

  At the same time, free shopping also effectively promotes consumption and drives the growth of merchant orders. Last year’s free shopping activities led to the recovery of orders from a large number of merchants in Shanghai, Changsha and other places. This year, Ele.me invited the Jinzhou Municipal Bureau of Commerce to issue a question to promote Jinzhou BBQ. The topic of Weibo #Jinzhou is the ceiling of the barbecue industry #boarded the hot search, and the reading volume exceeded 110 million that day.

  Compared with last year, the number of merchants benefiting from free orders this year has increased significantly. The latest disclosure data of Ele.me shows that since the opening of the free order activity on June 21, the participating merchants have exceeded 1.50 million, which is 2.5 times more than last year’s 600,000.

  The inspiration of free-order public welfare: looking forward to many parties working together to "create festivals"

  In addition to targeting visually impaired groups, Ele.me also collaborates with merchants to provide benefits to outdoor workers in many places through free-of-charge activities. For example, starting from July 15, Ele.me started a series of cool-off activities in Guangzhou, going to the construction site of Guangzhou Metro Fangbai Intercity Rail Project in Baiyunrenhe to distribute free cold drinks to subway workers who are struggling on the front line. At the same time, Ele.me also set up "cool stations" in many places in Guangzhou, distributing 10,000 free ice drinks for outdoor workers to receive for free; in order to allow workers to survive the hot and hot summer season, on July 23, Ele.me and Zhengzhou Federation of Trade Unions sent hundreds of watermelons weighing about 1,000 kilograms to outdoor workers to relieve the heat and so on at the Huaibei Community Love Station of Huaihe Road Street Office, Erqi District.

  In fact, the free-order form has a certain appeal to any consumer. It allows consumers to intuitively see the discounts and profits on real money, and there are no extra routines, so it is a success for brands. And if you want to achieve long-term benefits through the free-order economy, you must also focus on higher social value dimensions. The plan given by Ele.me is to combine its own business conduct with social responsibility, and drive merchants to invest in it, laying a solid foundation for the long-term sustainability of its model.

  As a platform enterprise in the field of local instant e-commerce, Ele.me pays attention to the product experience and well-being of visually impaired people. It can be seen that it has always rooted its business value in social needs, and has therefore harvested good social feedback and market data. Sorting through media reports in recent years, it can be seen that Ele.me is not a whim to create a festival for visually impaired users. In March 2023, Ele.me App was awarded the first batch of excellent cases of Internet application senior-friendly and barrier-free transformation. In addition, Ele.me continues to realize the dreams of visually impaired users by supporting blind school teams and holding blind e-sports competitions.

  Making benefits for visually impaired users fixed as a festival not only allows more visually impaired people to be seen, but also expresses Ele.me’s firm determination to appeal for the rights and interests of visually impaired people. This can not only drive more brands to participate, but also play a demonstration role in society and build a broader consensus. Perhaps we can imagine that there will be a large number of brands in the future to create a lifestyle consumption festival for visually impaired people.

  Ele.me said that only when the government, platforms, merchants and other parties work together can the value of the festival be maximized and a sustainable state of long-term development be formed. Ele.me will continue to work with all partners in the ecological chain to make more visually impaired people visible and valued through technological innovation, unique business gameplay and other forms.

Describing the structure of the Milky Way in several steps

  The picture shows the Milky Way observed in the infrared band. The picture is from the 2MASS Sky Survey project. The pictures are all stitched together from multiple observations. Due to the interstellar extinction in the optical band, it can be seen that the image of the Milky Way in the optical band is light and dark.

  The Milky Way is like humanity’s "most familiar stranger". After more than 200 years of hard work, we still haven’t fully seen its face. A new study has brought us one step closer to the true appearance of the Milky Way.

  On a clear night, looking up at the stars, you will see a milky white bright band running through the night sky, which is the home of hundreds of billions of stars, including the sun – the Milky Way.

  Since more than 200 years ago, people have been trying to understand the structure of the Milky Way.

  This is not simple, not only because we are in it, but also because various interstellar media interfere with people’s vision and obscure the true appearance of the Milky Way.

  Recently, researchers at the National Astronomical Observatory have measured the latest hydrogen column density and optical extinction ratio in the Milky Way. This work will help to understand the interstellar medium and is a crucial step in the journey to understanding the structure of the Milky Way.

  The sun is not the center of the galaxy

  In the 17th century, Galileo pointed his telescope at the milky band of light in the sky and found that it was a dense region of stars. In the mid-18th century, the Englishman Wright proposed the Milky Way Conjecture, which believed that the Milky Way is like a flat lens, and the sun is only one of the stars in it.

  The first person to paint a portrait of the Milky Way was the Englishman William Herschel. The 18th-century astronomer built the largest telescope of his time and discovered Uranus. He also focused on the stellar world. After many years of observation, he drew a map of the structure of the Milky Way in 1785, based on the number of stars in all directions in the sky. Unable to determine the distances of distant stars, Herschel assumed that all stars in the sky had the same luminous ability and estimated their distances to Earth based on the actual observed brightness of the stars. His "portrait" of the Milky Way was flat, with an irregular profile, and the sun was located in the center of the Milky Way. Herschel used statistical methods to confirm the hypothesis that the Milky Way is a flat disk for the first time, thus establishing the concept of the Milky Way for the first time.

  In 1906, the Dutch astronomer Kaptan proposed a "selection plan" to re-examine the structure of the Milky Way. His model of the Milky Way was similar to that of Herschel: the sun was centered, the stars in the center were dense, and the edges were sparse.

  Almost at the same time as Captan, the American astronomer Shapley also began to study the structure of the Milky Way. The discovery of Cepheid variables made it possible for scientists to accurately determine the distances of celestial bodies. Shapley determined the distances of Cepheid variables in globular clusters to Earth based on their light change periods, and then studied the structure and size of the Milky Way from the distribution of globular clusters. In 1918, Shapley proposed that the Milky Way is a lenticular star system with its center located in the direction of Sagittarius, rather than the solar system. Later observations gradually proved that Shapley’s model was closer to the real Milky Way, so it is still used today.

  Interstellar Dust is a "central figure"

  Obtaining the true structure of the Milky Way is not easy. According to Shapley’s estimate, the size of the Milky Way is 300,000 light-years. According to the state of the art at the time, this was a very accurate estimate. However, this figure is three times the size of the Milky Way in modern measurements. The reason is that Shapley ignored the extinction effect of the interstellar medium on starlight.

  Space is filled with the interstellar medium. The light emitted by celestial bodies is absorbed or scattered by the interstellar medium before reaching the earth, causing the brightness of the celestial bodies we observe to be dimmer than expected. This process is often called interstellar extinction. The hazy image of the Milky Way in the optical band is the key evidence for the existence of extinction. Therefore, studying interstellar extinction is an important step in obtaining the structure of the Milky Way. Since different components have different extinction values for starlight, extinction research can also help us gain a deeper understanding of the components of the interstellar medium.

  To understand the structure of the Milky Way is to study the distribution of various substances in the Milky Way. The interstellar medium plays a crucial role in the study of the structure of the Milky Way. In the optical band, extinction is mainly produced by dust in the interstellar medium, and the size of the extinction is affected by the total mass, composition and size of the dust. In the X-ray band, heavy elements that are not fully ionized absorb some of the radiation.

  Therefore, extinction in the optical band (characterized by extinction in the V-band) can be used to reveal the dust composition in the interstellar medium. The distribution of heavy elements in the interstellar medium can be known from X-ray absorption (expressed by hydrogen column density), and then the total amount of hydrogen in the three states of atoms, molecules and ionization can be obtained according to the specific proportional relationship between heavy elements and hydrogen in the interstellar medium. Through observations in these two bands, scientists can not only know the corresponding structure of the Milky Way, but also study the relationship between dust composition and gas composition. This is why the parameter of hydrogen column density and optical extinction ratio in the Milky Way has attracted much attention.

  A new understanding of the "most familiar stranger"

  As early as the 1980s, it was recognized that the hydrogen column density and optical extinction ratio were important for understanding the Milky Way. The current widely used value is still obtained by American scientist Bohlin in 1978. For many years, people have been working to obtain more accurate and reliable results.

  There are generally three ways to measure this parameter. Usually the measurement of optical extinction is easier, and different methods mainly use different methods to measure the hydrogen column density.

  The so-called hydrogen column density is assumed to have a column with a fixed cross-sectional area in the line of sight direction, and the amount of hydrogen contained in this column is the hydrogen column density. Bohlin’s method is to estimate the hydrogen column density based on the absorption of neutral hydrogen and molecular hydrogen in the interstellar medium on the spectral lines of stars in the ultraviolet band. The other two methods are to measure the hydrogen column density according to the neutral hydrogen atom and carbon monoxide radiation, and to measure the hydrogen column density according to the absorption of the interstellar medium on the stellar spectrum in the X-ray band. However, due to the complex composition of the interstellar medium and the small and unreliable sample size, the previous measurement results are not satisfactory.

  The author’s latest work adopts the above third method, that is, the abundance of heavy elements is measured according to the absorption of the X-ray band, and then the hydrogen column density is obtained according to the proportion relationship between heavy elements and gas components. As early as the 1970s, scientists have used this method to study the structure of the Milky Way. However, due to the difficulty of data acquisition, when scientists conducted this study in the past, the sample size was only about 20 at most. In order to expand the sample size, the author’s study for the first time includes the X-ray radiation of supernova remnants, planetary nebulae, and X-ray binaries at the same time. The sample size is expanded to about 100, and the hydrogen column density and optical extinction ratio of the Milky Way are recalculated.

  The final results show that this ratio does not vary with the spatial location of the interstellar medium, and the mass ratio of gas to dust in the Milky Way obtained by this ratio is about 140. This means that there is more gas in the Milky Way than expected.

  The Milky Way is a disk with a certain thickness. The latest work also calculated the distribution of hydrogen between two kiloseconds (about 3.26 light-years) and 10 kiloseconds from the center of the galaxy. The research suggests that the disk is denser and decays faster than previously realized. This means that the disk is thinner than previously thought, but denser.

  The Milky Way is like the "most familiar stranger" to humans – although it is close by, it has been unable to see its face clearly. After more than 200 years of efforts by scientists, the outline of the Milky Way’s structure is becoming clearer and clearer. However, there are still many unsolved mysteries in the Milky Way, and we are still on our way.

Chinese tourists were stolen from a taxi in Paris, and French Chinese lawmakers urged the police to pay attention to the case

  China Overseas Chinese Network, May 23rd, according to the French "European Times" reported that recently, Chinese tourists in Paris by taxi was asked to swipe the card after the credit card was stolen brush 140,000 RMB news by the media report, caused the French National Assembly members, France-China Friendship Group Chairperson Chen Wenxiong’s attention and attention, he immediately instructed the team members and the party @Mr. Jiliang, get in touch, detailed understanding of the stolen brush situation.

  On May 21, after learning the full story of the incident, Congressman Chen Wenxiong immediately wrote to the Paris police chief, Didier Lallement, to draw the director’s attention to this case and such cases against tourists, especially Asian tourists, and to improve the security situation. Afterwards, Congressman Chen Wenxiong also wrote to the State Secretary for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne, as well as the Paris Tourism Bureau, Shapira, and the Deputy Mayor in charge of tourism in Paris, demanding that tourism safety be taken seriously and the tourism environment in Paris and France be protected.

  In the letter, Congressman Chen Wenxiong detailed the experience of Chinese tourists to the police chief, and handed over the photos of the suspected driver and the suspected license plate number to the La Le Mans commissioner. He hoped that the police would solve the case as soon as possible to ensure the safety of tourism in Paris. For many years, due to prejudice against Asians and other reasons, Asians in France have often been the target of criminals, and violent crimes have also occurred from time to time, he wrote in the letter. Recently, illegal activities against Asians are still very rampant, and the cases of Chinese tourists have triggered discussions on social media, once again confirming the universality and seriousness of this situation. Public security issues involve the daily lives of every citizen, including Asians, and the experience of tourists in France has also greatly affected the international image of France. Chen Wenxiong drew the police chief’s attention to the law and order situation, especially illegal crimes against Asians, and said he would continue to pay attention.

  Chinese tourists stolen 140,000 yuan

  On May 19, Mr. Jiliang, a Chinese tourist, sent a message on his Weibo to remind his friends in France that he took a taxi from Galeries Lafayette general merchandise mall to the airport. After being asked by the driver to swipe his card, the card was stolen. He said: "I just got off the plane and received the credit card consumption information, and the total amount of continuous consumption is about 140,000 (RMB). I was on the plane at the time of consumption, and the card was also at hand, so there is no doubt that it was stolen. If you think about it carefully, it should have been in Paris yesterday. The driver kept saying that he had no cash on him and insisted on swiping the card, so he stole my credit card information. And he deliberately chatted with me on the car and found out about my approximate flight time, so he stole it when the bank called but I couldn’t answer. At that time, the driver asked me to change the card to pay on the grounds that I failed to swipe the card for the first time. And this’China Merchants Bank Card ‘locked the card for me at the first time because the transaction was unsuccessful, so I avoided greater losses. "He said that he also felt that this person was a little strange, so he took a photo of this person. According to his experience, he only used these two cards in taxis. He thought it was the taxi driver at that time.

  After the Weibo of @Mr. Kira, many netizens with the same experience complained that they were also stolen and swiped, and everyone recognized from the photos that they were stolen and swiped by the same driver. The experience is similar: taking a taxi near Lafayette, the driver said he had no money to change, asked to swipe the card, and then was asked when he would return to China, when he would take the plane, etc. During the flight, he stole the credit card. It’s just that some were stolen and swiped, and some were not successfully stolen due to bank security measures.

  After Mr. Kira’s Weibo was sent to WeChat Moments such as French tour guides, it also caused friends living in France to complain, saying that they had similar experiences.

  Theft is crazy, the Chinese Embassy in France has issued a reminder

  Credit card theft is nothing new in France. According to the National Observatory of Crime and Criminal Punishment (ONDRP), the crime of bank card theft in France has been on the rise in recent years. From 2010 to 2013, the number of bank card theft crimes in France rose by 67% in the four years. By 2014, the number of victims reached 451,000, with more than 905,000 bank cards stolen at least once, with an average amount of 112 euros. In 2016, the data reached 1.20 million, and in 2018, the rate of bank card theft in France was the highest in Europe. 69 out of 1,000 cards were stolen. The losses are huge. Figures show that in 2014, the total cost of stolen credit card user information in France amounted to more than 500 million euros.

  As early as August 23, 2017, the Chinese Embassy in France issued a reminder on its website to prevent the theft of French credit cards. This reminder has been hanging on the website of the Chinese Embassy in France to this day. It is reminded that recently, when a number of Chinese tourists were paying for a taxi in Paris, the driver falsely claimed that his company only accepted bank cards for payment, and used the bank card replicator to copy the passenger’s bank card information during the card swiping process, and then used the consumption or withdrawal method to steal the credit card, causing the victim to suffer economic losses ranging from a few thousand yuan to tens of thousands of yuan.

  Reminder that France expressly stipulates that taxi drivers must accept passengers to pay the fare in cash or bank cards, and provide machine-printed invoices. As a precaution, the embassy advises Chinese tourists to use small denominations of cash to pay the fare as much as possible. If you really need to use a card to pay, you should avoid letting the taxi driver operate the card swipe, and remember to ask the driver for a ticket. Once you find that the bank card has been stolen, immediately contact the card issuer to report the loss and go to the local police station to report the case.

  In fact, taking a taxi and swiping the card is only a small part of the stolen credit card. And most of them are because of the stolen credit card information, spending on the Internet or Uber. A reader told reporters that he suddenly found in his bank statement that there were many more consumption that he did not know, one is shopping on the Joom.com.GB website, the other is using Uber, each time the cost is not high, but it is used frequently, more than a dozen times, stealing more than 400 euros.

  The Chinese Embassy in France said in its repeated security warnings that Chinese tourists visiting France must carefully read the security reminders issued by the website of the Chinese Embassy in France and the Chinese Consular Service Network before their trip, understand the situation in France, pay close attention to the social security situation in France, and be vigilant. Pay attention to personal and property safety, properly keep personal belongings and identity documents, and enhance self-security awareness. The reporter believes that travelers should do their homework before coming. In fact, such theft crimes have been reminded by the embassy and there are many reports in the media. These are all valid for a long time. With a little attention, tragedies may be avoided.

  France is the top destination for Chinese tourists, spending 4 billion euros a year

  A recent French government announcement said that France received 89.40 million foreign tourists in 2018, an increase of 3% over 2017, setting a new record. Asian tourists were the most prominent in terms of growth, with an increase of 7.4%. Tourism, one of the key sectors supporting the development of the French economy, generated 56.20 billion euros in foreign tourists in 2018, an increase of nearly 5% over the previous year. The French government has set a goal of attracting 100 million foreign tourists by 2020.

  Chinese tourists are the largest group of Asian tourists and contribute a lot to French tourism. In 2018, a total of 2.20 million Chinese tourists arrived in France for tourism, a record high, with an average stay of 6 days. Last year, Chinese tourists spent a total of more than 4 billion euros in France. Among them, 3.75% of Chinese tourists came to France for shopping. The French government has set a goal of attracting 5 million Chinese tourists by 2020. However, France’s tourism safety has been fiercely criticized by Chinese tourists: using cash, being robbed; swiping cards, being stolen and swiped, where do you let tourists go?

  Recently, French Secretary of State Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne announced the establishment of a working group on sustainable tourism, composed of the French Environment and Energy Management Agency, the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Solidarity, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Economy, and the French Tourism Development Agency. It will be responsible for providing strategic and specific recommendations for the sustainable development of French tourism to meet environmental, economic and social challenges. He asked France to strengthen the quantitative and qualitative analysis of international tourists, and to study their travel patterns, economic benefits and jobs, so that the government can formulate guiding policies to enhance the diversity of French tourism destinations. The reporter believes that the Ministry of the Interior should also be included. After all, for tourists, safety is a top priority. Without personal safety, other improvements are nothing but water and trees.

  Chen Wenxiong, taking the case of Chinese tourists being victimized as an example, wrote to Lemoyne to pay special attention to tourism safety issues. Only by continuously paying attention to and improving French safety issues can we maintain the sustainable development of French tourism and achieve France’s ambitious goals.

  Mr. Chan Man-hung has long been concerned about law and order issues in France, especially racial crimes such as robberies against Asians. He also suggested the establishment of a working group on law and order and anti-racial discrimination to assist the government and the police in finding effective solutions to racial crimes against Asians.

Apple iPhone 16 standard A18 processor: TSMC second generation 3nm process

  iPhone 14, iPhone 15 series use two processors at the same time, the Pro series is "superior", but in next year’s iPhone 16 series, this situation may change.

Apple iPhone 16 standard A18 processor: TSMC second generation 3nm process

  Haitong International Securities analyst Jeff Pu learned from the supply chain that the A17 Pro is a transitional design, and the iPhone 16 series will be equipped with A18 processors as standard, and they are all manufactured by TSMC N3E process.

  However, iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus uses the standard version of A18, iPhone 16 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro Max uses the more advanced A18 Pro, but the specific difference between the two is temporarily unknown.

  If so, the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus upgrade will be a leap.

  Apple A17 Pro is currently the only 3nm process chip, using TSMC’s first-generation N3B, while the next A18 uses N3E, which is TSMC’s second-generation 3nm, with lower cost and higher yield, but also lower performance.

  Of course, iPhone 16 is still a year away, anything is possible.

  However, Jeff Pu has repeatedly revealed new changes to the iPhone, such as the iPhone 15 Pro series will give up silent picks, the memory will be increased to 8GB, the iPhone 15 Pro Max will increase in price, and so on.

"Tang Bohu Dian Qiuxiang 2" Ren Xianqi took off for the first time, crazy like a Transformer

        Directed by the gold-medal director Li Li, the costume action comedy starring stars such as Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Jingchu, Ren Xianqi, Chen Baixiang and Zhou Libo will be officially released nationwide on July 9. Among them, Xu Zhenqing, played by Ren Xianqi, is transformed into an ancient Einstein. All kinds of whimsical inventions make people laugh. In order to test the effect of his own inventions, Ren Xianqi is even more willing to go naked and test drugs.

Ren Xianqi incarnates as Optimus Prime

        Xu Zhenqing, played by Ren Xianqi, as a generation of Jiangnan talents, was transformed into an ancient Chinese version of Einstein in the movie. Invisible Pills, Transformers, etc. were all successfully tested by him. These inventions not only became sharp weapons against the enemy, but also became a "must-have magic weapon" to play tricks on friends around him. Zhu Zhishan, played by Chen Baixiang, mistakenly thought that he had taken the invisible pill he invented and made a fool of himself, and his body and psychology were destroyed. In the final Armageddon, Ren Xianqi, who was armed with a sharp weapon, went into battle naked, and the big Transformers Autobots logo on his chest also made him the embodiment of justice. I believe that how this ancient version of Optimus Prime breaks the enemy will definitely become a major attraction of this film.

Dedicated to the screen for the first time

        Unlike Chen Baixiang’s naked exit, Ren Xianqi’s body is stronger than the old talent Chen Baixiang’s round and jade figure, and Ren Xianqi’s perfect muscle lines are believed to make many female audiences feast their eyes and fantasize. According to Ren Xianqi himself, he made full preparations for this nude scene: "I have been practicing in the gym for a long time before coming to the cast, because this is the first time I have taken off so much, so I must give the audience a surprise, and I must not lose to Brother Baixiang." Compared with Ren Xianqi’s naked appearance this time, his inventions that travel through the future and his instant noodle hairstyle that is full of presence are no longer so important, and "Tang Bohu Dianqiuxiang 2", which brings together two male stars’ naked scenes, has also become a summer must-see film for female audiences.

Saiyi AIGC Zhongtai officially released, Shanmu GPT empowers the new development of enterprise digital intelligence with technological innovation

Wuhan in the golden autumn ushered in the "2023 China Enterprise Digital transformation Summit and Sai Yi User Conference". At this grand event with the theme of "AI-driven, digital intelligence innovation", domestic industry professors, experts, scholars and more than 500 business leaders, more than 1,000 industry elites, in-depth discussion on the intelligent management, AI scene application, "dual-cross" integration innovation, value-based domestic substitution (Xinchuang) and many other issues facing the digital transformation of enterprises.

"Saiyi is a company that builds digital capabilities around the enterprise value chain," Zhang Chengkang, chairperson and CEO of Saiyi Information, said in the keynote speech. At this year’s conference, Saiyi Information and industry partners jointly explore the digital transformation of enterprises around AI technology, and extract value and create value from it.

In the meantime, Saiyi Information’s latest release of the first AIGC mid-platform (Shanmu GPT) focusing on the enterprise services model has become the focus of the industry.

Wind up AI to maximize the value of the industry

In the AI era, industrial reshaping and intelligent manufacturing are becoming new.

The "China artificial intelligence large model map research report" released by the new generation artificial intelligence development research center of the Ministry of Science and Technology shows that 79 large models above the 1 billion parameter scale have been released in our country.

With the continuous improvement of the top-level design, our country’s digital economy strategic system has been steadily built, providing strong support for the intelligent transformation of the real industry. In the process of enterprise digital transformation, artificial intelligence can be implemented in a variety of application scenarios, data modeling, and improve the level of analysis and decision-making in production, warehousing, marketing, marketing, finance and other links.

In the process of AIGC technology landing, Saiyi Information realized that the value of the big model lies in the combination with business scenarios. Only by generalizing, industrializing and verticalizing AI capabilities, and deeply integrating with the specific business scenario needs of different industries and different enterprises, and focusing on the big model in the field of Enterprise Services, can we deeply support the digital and intelligent transformation of enterprises.

This is also the original intention and value of the research and development of Saiyi AIGC mid-platform (Shanmou GPT).

Deeply empowering, building an intelligent innovation engine for enterprises

Behind the artificial intelligence boom, major technology manufacturers have entered the market one after another, continuously launching AI models, and AIGC applications have exploded. For enterprises, how to choose the right path and high-quality platform in the process of digital transformation?

"There are so many big models, we can only build our own capabilities on the value chain of the entire industry around the focused industry, around the industry model. Everything is for value." Sai Yi, led by Zhang Chengkang, strives to provide the best path for the digital transformation of enterprises.

According to the introduction, Saiyi AIGC mid-platform (Shanmou GPT) deeply integrates the knowledge and best practices of Saiyi Information in the fields of finance and taxation, human resources, marketing, supply chain, R & D and manufacturing, and expands the storage memory, application adaptation, scheduling execution and domain expertise of the large model through context memory, knowledge/database & table indexing, Prompt engineering, agent execution, general toolset, etc., to form a systematic enterprise services large model. Provide enterprises with capabilities such as multi-model docking, vector management, private model pre-training and application, and help enterprises quickly implement AI and realize intelligent process management, interaction, guidance and circulation.

Digital employees (intelligent guidance), intelligent documents (intelligent assistance), enterprise knowledge base (intelligent Q & A), AI automatic quotation (intelligent quotation) and other functions required by enterprises can be realized in Shanmou GPT. By combining with the existing system and Data Transmission Service of the enterprise, Shanmou GPT can provide enterprises with more personalized and intelligent services, and improve the efficiency of enterprise production and operation management.

It is understood that Saiyi has fully integrated AI capabilities into agile development, achieving automated management of the entire process from requirements planning, requirements analysis, task allocation, progress tracking, iterative testing, and online deployment, with an efficiency increase of more than 40%.

Paradigm shift, AI-driven high-quality development

The "scissors difference principle" of digital transformation has resonated widely in the industry after Zhang Chengkang’s repeated emphasis. With the development of informatization and intelligence, on the one hand, the labor cost of enterprises continues to rise with time; on the other hand, the intelligent cost continues to decline with time. When the labor cost and the intelligent cost curve reach the intersection point, intelligence will usher in an outbreak.

Zhang Chengkang believes that in the era of AI-driven intelligence, the manufacturing paradigm has migrated from physical manufacturing based on the traditional "trial and error method" to virtual manufacturing based on CPS technology, and the manufacturing system has moved from an isolated centralized to an open system of networked collaboration, realizing the revolution of production tools and the transformation of production models.

At the critical juncture of paradigm shift, facing the trend of accelerated integration of the real economy and digital technology, Saiyi Information fully embraces the era of AI intelligence, leveraging its independent research and development capabilities and deep experience in the industry to enable the digital transformation of the industry and help Chinese enterprises move towards high-quality development.

The launch of AIGC mid-platform (Shanmou GPT) comes at the right time.

According to Yuan Haigang, chief architect of Saiyi Gushen Lab: "The launch of AIGC mid-platform (Shanmou GPT) marks an important breakthrough in the field of artificial intelligence. It can provide enterprises with more intelligent and efficient solutions to help enterprises achieve digital intelligence innovation and development. In the future, we will strengthen in-depth cooperation and research with customers in different industries, expand the application of AIGC in different industries and fields, and further improve the performance and applicability of Shanmou GPT."

AIGC mid-platform (Shanmou GPT) has strong and comprehensive capabilities.

Automatically generate user stories: enter simple instructions to automatically parse user requests and convert them into standardized user stories, quickly adapt to changes in the market and user requests, save a lot of time and effort for manual creation and maintenance, and improve the quality of agile development and iteration.

Intelligent form creation function: Based on the intelligent form designer provided by Gushen aPaaS platform, users can quickly complete the creation and configuration of the required form application by entering simple instructions in the dialog box, and realize interaction and data collection, further improving the efficiency of enterprise application construction.

The release of AIGC Zhongtai (Shanmou GPT) marks a new step for Saiyi Information in strategic technological innovation. In the future, Saiyi Information will join hands with more outstanding enterprises to strengthen and expand intelligent manufacturing and industrial software, join the AI digital wave, amplify the value of the industry, explore high-quality development paths, and jointly help build a digital China.

  Qin PLUS is the third product of BYD Qin family. The appearance design of the new car is obviously different from that of Qin and Qin Pro which were listed before. The hexagonal mouth is further extended to both sides, and the interior is decorated with array grille, but it is very similar to BYD Han DM. The front face of the car is equipped with LED headlights with "arrow feather" as the design element. In addition, we can see the camera, parking radar probe and millimeter wave radar at the front of the car.

  The tail of Qin PLUS adopts a penetrating taillight, and the shell of the lamp group is blackened, and the LED light source is used inside. Above the taillights, there is also a "Build Your Dreams" trailer with the latest design font.

  From the score point of view, BYD Qin PLUS’s appearance score reached 4.93 points, ranking first in all the project scores, which shows that most car owners are very appreciative of BYD Qin PLUS’s appearance. We can see from the word-of-mouth evaluation of car owners that many car owners said that Qin PLUS has beautiful exterior design, beautiful front design, beautiful headlights and fashionable body. Among them, the owner of the car heard Mei uh mention in word of mouth: "The biggest feeling of BYD Qin PLUS is that it is very exquisite, and the whole body is also quite atmospheric, mainly reflected in the front face. Its grille and headlight design are different and particularly conspicuous." In addition, the owner of the wine shop, Mr. Qing 4o, also said: "If you savor it carefully, you can see that its headlights, rims and the lines of the whole body are very well matched, and the details are particularly excellent, which makes me see that it has spent a lot of thought on its appearance, which is what makes me feel satisfied with this car."

  The overall layout of the new car continues the design of Qin family, but after re-polishing, it presents a different style. First of all, the shape of the panel is no longer the simple style of horizontal and vertical on Qin Pro, but the curve design is added. The rotatable large-size LCD screen in the center is retained, and the original LCD instrument is further simplified.

Byd Qin PLUS 2021 DM-i 120KM flagship model

  Judging from the word-of-mouth evaluation, most car owners have two different views on BYD Qin PLUS interior evaluation. Some car owners think that the interior of the car is satisfactory, the design of the central control panel is good, and the interior material is strong, but some car owners think that the car has problems such as strong interior odor and poor instrument panel design.

  Owner Foshan rider i9ncsv said: "I am quite satisfied with the design of the interior. The interior is well done in many details, especially the materials used in the central control, and some small details around it are well handled, which is more exquisite at the same level." Regarding the central control design of the interior, the owner’s past scar said: "The design inside the car is relatively modern, which is in line with my aesthetics. The most eye-catching thing is that the central control adopts a 10.1-inch central control screen, which can be rotated, and the voice recognition accuracy inside is also relatively high, even if it is a little dialect."

  However, some car owners have put forward different views. Among them, the owner of Qujing Cheyou o8qzbr mentioned: "The smell inside the new car is obvious, so it is usually necessary to open the window for ventilation." Not only that, the owner bird’s light mood also mentioned: "The few days after the car was just bought, I always asked some strange smells, and I had to ventilate. Later, it gradually got better."

  As a family car, the interior design of BYD Qin PLUS is satisfactory, but some car owners are uncomfortable because of the odor inside. This problem really needs to be solved urgently.

● Space score of BYD Qin PLUS: 4.69.

  In terms of space, my colleagues have previously conducted a space test on the top model of Qin PLUS DM-i, and in summary, it is at a fairly satisfactory level. For car owners, in the word-of-mouth evaluation, car owners generally think that the car has enough space, large trunk space, sufficient trunk space and reasonable storage space design. Among them, the owner’s dustless uncle said: "The space of this car is still enough, and it is still very comfortable to sit in the back row. The space in the front and rear rows is still quite spacious, and the space in the trunk is ok. Usually, there is enough room for things." In addition, the owner listened to Mei uh in the snow and said: "What makes me most satisfied is the space. Its space utilization rate is very good, the internal space design is in place, and there is enough space in the front and rear rows for riding. The performance of the trunk is also good. It is easy for a family of three to travel normally, and there will be some room left. "

● Comfort score of BYD Qin PLUS: 4.56.

  In terms of comfort, the owner gave different views. Most car owners think that the car has good comfort, comfortable seats and good sound insulation effect in the car. However, some car owners said that the car has problems such as high tire noise and high wind noise. Among them, owner Yue E hand 8z said: "For me, the comfort of this car is still relatively high, and I appreciate this kind of car with relatively high comfort. Especially the design of the seat, its support is very good and it attracts me very much. " In addition, the owner of the car, Shaoxing rider 7y8pm, also expressed satisfaction with the comfort of the seat. He bluntly said: "In terms of comfort, I prefer its seat, because it is leather, and it is more comfortable to sit on."

  However, some car owners have also raised the problem of loud tire noise. Among them, the car owner Yueyang Cheyou 3332564 said, "The tire noise is still a bit loud, especially when driving on asphalt roads. I endured it for more than a month, because I used more cars and added soundproof cotton myself. "

● Power score of BYD Qin PLUS: 4.89.

Home of the car

  In terms of power, Qin PLUS currently has plug-in hybrid vehicles and pure electric vehicles. Among them, Qin PLUS DM-i is equipped with Xiaoyun-plug-in special 1.5L engine, which has two versions of pure electric battery life of 55km or 120km. The pure electric version will provide AC permanent magnet synchronous motors with maximum power of 100kW and 135kW, with cruising range of 400, 500 and 600 km.

  It can be seen from the score that most car owners are satisfied with the dynamic performance of Qin PLUS. Most car owners think that the car has strong power, strong acceleration, smooth shift and strong start. Only some car owners have suggested that the engine is shaking and the engine starts loudly, but it can be regarded as an individual phenomenon because of the small sample size. The owner’s love sighs V: "The acceleration of the car is very smooth, and there is no sense of frustration during the acceleration." In addition, the owner Heze netizen 1887525 also said: "The power of this car is still very powerful, and I feel full of power every time I drive. Even in a fully loaded state, it will not affect the power output. "

● Control score of BYD Qin PLUS: 4.80.

  In terms of handling performance, car owners have more positive comments on BYD Qin PLUS, such as "powerful handling", "reasonable steering wheel weight", "accurate steering" and "satisfactory driving stability".

  L9ncsv, the owner of Foshan Cheyou, said: "BYD Qin PLUS is easy to operate and particularly easy to use, but it was really a bit difficult at first. After all, I have never driven a hybrid car before, and I feel that this car is a bit stressful for me to drive, but it also takes time to verify and feel." In addition, the owner’s memory burned to ashes also said: "BYD Qin PLUS is very convenient to control, the steering wheel is relatively light, and it is easy to step on the accelerator and brake. Compared with my previous car, it is not difficult to drive."

● Fuel consumption score of BYD Qin PLUS: 4.93 points.

Home of the car

  BYD Qin PLUS has a high score in fuel consumption, and the word-of-mouth page shows that the average fuel consumption of this car is 4.27L/100km, which is obviously better than the average level of compact cars. It is worth mentioning that BYD Qin PLUS currently provides plug-in hybrid and pure electric power, which is its advantage. In terms of fuel consumption, we mainly show the average fuel consumption of plug-in hybrid vehicles. Among them, Tao Dongning, the owner of the car, said: "This car has strong fuel-saving ability, and I bought this car mostly for this reason. The car is really beyond my imagination in terms of fuel saving. This fuel consumption is even better than I expected, which is simply too economical. "

  In addition, in terms of the power consumption of pure electric models, the car owners voluntarily coexist. C said: "At present, the power consumption is still very standard. My car has a battery life of 600 kilometers. I usually drive to and from work, and I only need to charge it once when I come back from shopping on weekends to prepare for next week. Moreover, when I bought a car, I also sent a charging pile for free, so charging is still very convenient. "

Home of the car

  Through data analysis, we can see that the main car-buying purposes of the car owners who buy BYD Qin PLUS are commuting, go on road trip and shopping, which is consistent with the use of most family cars. It can be seen that home use is still the core usage scenario of BYD Qin PLUS. Therefore, many car owners are more concerned about fuel consumption, space and cost performance.

Full text summary:

Well, after reading the true reputation of so many car owners, would you choose BYD Qin PLUS? Tell me in the comments section. (Text/car home Li Na)

Starway Eta Ursae Majoris is on sale for 152,800 yuan. Who do you choose, it or Song PLUS DM-i?

Yin Tongyue, the head of Chery Group, always emphasizes that Starway should be made into Chery’s "Audi", but from the actual sales results, Starway has not caused much trouble before. However, recently, the listing of a heavy new car of Xingtu brand may refresh the value of its own B-class SUV and lead Xingtu brand to stand firm in the 200,000-class SUV market.

On February 21st, Starway Eta Ursae Majoris was officially listed, and the guide price range of the new car was 1528-202800 yuan. As the first product created by Starway M3X Mars Architecture 2.0, the new car has a good performance in terms of design, dynamic performance and vehicle intelligence. Let’s take a look.

First of all, in terms of design, Eta Ursae Majoris’s front face is made of a large-sized diamond-cut borderless grille with a penetrating light set, which has a strong sense of science and technology and a strong "future mech wind", but for some people who have "secret fear", it may take a while to adapt. On the side of the car body, a sharp waistline runs through the car body, and with the design of hidden door handles, sports multi-frame wheels and suspended roof, it is still in place to create a sports atmosphere.

The tail is also full of attention, and the split brake light is integrated with the tail spoiler; The slim through taillight adopts stepped design on both sides, which widens the horizontal visual effect well; The layout of the blackened exhaust gas from the two sides below is also enough to scare people. On the whole, it does smell like a performance SUV.

In terms of interior, the design of 24.6-inch integrated curved double screen, double-width steering wheel, through air conditioning outlet and piano paint panel has rendered the technology and luxury inside the car well. In addition, the car also uses a large area of soft packages and stitching, which shows that Starway Eta Ursae Majoris is very cheap this time.

Secondly, in terms of intelligence, this 24.6-inch curved dual screen is equipped with the Lion Smart Cloud LION5.0 car networking system, built-in Qualcomm 8155 smart chip, and has a rich intelligent ecology, integrating common APP software such as WeChat, Meituan, Gaode Navigation and iQiyi.

On the level of intelligent assisted driving, Eta Ursae Majoris provides L2.9 intelligent assisted driving system, and is equipped with Horizon J3 assisted driving chip, which includes 21 basic functions of ADAS and 11 high-order intelligent assisted driving functions, and can realize the functions of autonomous parking service, automatic overtaking lane change, full-speed adaptive cruise, automatic ramp up and down, etc. In addition, Eta Ursae Majoris is equipped with a 50-inch AR-HUD, which can provide 50-inch clear imaging at a line-of-sight of 7.5 meters, and subsequently support OTA upgrade.

Furthermore, in terms of ride experience, Eta Ursae Majoris has a length, width and height of 4,781/1920/1,671 mm and a wheelbase of 2,815 mm. Although the size of the car is only quite satisfactory in terms of parameters, Eta Ursae Majoris has given enough configurations in terms of ride comfort: NAPPA leather seats are used for the main driver, as well as headrest audio, electrically adjustable leg rest and seat ventilation/heating/massage; Extra electric foot rest and queen’s co-driver with five massage modes; Equipped with electric adjustment of rear backrest angle and rear independent fresh air system. To put it simply, looking at SUV models at the price of 150,000-200,000, they rarely give users as many seats/comfort configurations as Eta Ursae Majoris, so it is no wonder that Eta Ursae Majoris dares to say that he is on par with luxury models at the level of 400,000.

In terms of driving control, in terms of power, Eta Ursae Majoris is equipped with a 2.0TGDI+7DCT gold power combination, with a maximum power of 192kW and a peak torque of 400 N m. The fuel consumption under WLTC is 7.5 L/100 km. In terms of handling, Eta Ursae Majoris is equipped with a brand-new flying fish extrasensory chassis, which integrates many advanced technologies and configurations, such as CDC electromagnetic suspension system, Soft stop system, chassis hydraulic vibration isolation system, all-terrain technology system, all-scene intelligent four-wheel drive system, intelligent brake-by-wire system and so on.

To put it simply, Eta Ursae Majoris’s product strength is definitely worthy of its price, so how is its competitiveness compared with competing products of the same level/price?

Let’s talk about independent competing products first. According to Eta Ursae Majoris’s guide price range, we can basically determine that its biggest competitor is BYD Song PLUS DM-i (the price is 15.48-218,800), and the latter is a PHEV model, which has the advantage of being able to get a green license.

However, after a detailed comparison between the two vehicles, we can actually find that, thanks to the vehicle positioning and cost advantages, Eta Ursae Majoris, as a B-class fuel SUV, has a larger seating space and more comfortable configuration, a lower cost than Song PLUS DM-i in terms of intelligent configuration and interior materials, and finally its four-wheel drive version has a lower entry threshold than Song PLUS DM-i (the former is 174,800, and the latter is 20.77).

The weakness of Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris is that the daily car cost will be higher. Although the fuel economy of its 2.0T engine is good, the fuel consumption of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is 7.6L/100km, but the fuel consumption as low as 4.4L/100km compared with Song PLUS DM-i is still not enough.

Let’s compare the joint venture competing products. Here we list two Japanese veterans at the same price, Toyota RAV4 Rongfang and Honda CR-V. We choose Eta Ursae Majoris four-wheel drive exclusive edition (202,800) /CR-V 2023 two-wheel drive Fengshang edition (201,900) /RAV4 Rongfang 2022 two-wheel drive fashion Plus edition (200,800) with three overlapping price versions.

Through comparison, it can be concluded that the advantages of Eta Ursae Majoris are space (the other two are compact SUVs) and dynamic performance (the maximum power of CR-V 1.5T version is 142kW, and the peak torque is 243N·m;; RAV4 Rongfang 2.0L version has a maximum power of 126kW and a peak torque of 209N·m), configuration and intelligent level. At the same time, Eta Ursae Majoris’s four-wheel drive purchase threshold is lower than them. However, the weakness lies in two aspects: brand power and value-keeping rate. At the same time, Starway Eta Ursae Majoris only provides five seats, while CR-V provides a five-seventh seat layout, which will be less attractive to families with multiple births.

Write it at the end

To sum up, Starway Eta Ursae Majoris’s product strength in driving control, configuration, space, intelligence, materials and other aspects, combined with its price, really has a good competitiveness. However, as we all know, the 200,000-class SUV market in which Starway Eta Ursae Majoris is located needs to strive for service and brand value in addition to technology and product strength. In these aspects, it depends on how Starway brand can improve its marketing and service level.

Then the question is, within the car purchase budget of 150,000-200,000 yuan, will you choose Xingtu Eta Ursae Majoris, Song PLUS DM-i, or a Japanese joint venture SUV with the same price? Welcome to leave a message and discuss in the comment area.

Has Volvo been abandoned because the new product has been delayed?

In 2017, Volvo brought S90 and XC60 products, which have been the main sales force of Volvo for five years. Although it is often necessary to attract users with huge discounts, in terms of sales volume, relying on these two main models, Volvo’s performance in the past five years can be described as brilliant. However, as the product strength became more and more old, Volvo’s sales began to decline, and it was time for Volvo to innovate.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, Volvo finally released a flagship pure electric SUV—— some time ago. However, in its report, it was impressively written: "It is planned to be produced and sold in the United States in 2023 and localized in China in 2024." In other words, Volvo, whose current main force has already appeared tired, has released new electric products, but it will take two years to meet consumers. Some insiders believe that the pace of Volvo is still so slow in the new energy era, and it is afraid of being abandoned by the market.

At present, if we only look at the sales data of Volvo, there is something gratifying, because in this market where the epidemic situation is repeated and traditional luxury cars and fuel vehicles are eroded by new energy sources as a whole, compared with those friends who are prone to decline by more than ten or twenty points, the cumulative sales of Volvo in the first 11 months of this year has declined by 7.4%.

But Volvo’s real pain lies not in its sales volume, but in its price and brand image: as early as two or three years ago, Mercedes-Benz and Lexus were still increasing their prices, but XC60 was already in a state of "fracture price", with an average discount of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, and S90 in some areas could even be discounted by 100,000 yuan. On the surface, Volvo’s guide price can still keep up with the first-line luxury, but in fact its price system has almost slipped to the point of competing with joint ventures for the market.

Judging from the financial report, as early as 2019, Volvo’s operating profit in the first half of the year fell by 30%; In the second half of the year, the growth rate of 0.8% was barely maintained through layoffs and other means. In the first half of this year, Volvo’s revenue alone fell by 14.1%; The net income has been completely negative, with a negative growth of SEK 1.171 billion, which dropped by 134.5%. During this period, although Volvo has set foot in PHEV, the actual performance of T8 power is not inferior to that of BBA, but Volvo’s popularity in the hybrid world is not as high as its "Raytheon Hammer" headlights. At this point, Volvo is in urgent need of an innovation.

Fortunately, in the era of electrification, BBA and Lexus, the top four traditional luxury markets, have not come up with strong gestures and products, and consumers no longer give face to their brands and popularity. This can be said to be an excellent opportunity for other so-called "second-line luxury" to break through.

Volvo’s attitude of transforming into electrification is also quite firm: first, it transferred the main shares of Aurobay to Geely, and at the same time announced that it would stop production of pure fuel vehicles in 2025, which announced that it officially withdrew from the research and development of internal combustion engines and focused on electrification. However, the flagship electric technology exhibited by EX90, as well as the latest design, technology and concept, cannot help worrying about Volvo’s future.

First of all, this car was built on the SPA2 platform. Although this is an upgraded platform of SPA, SPA is an oil-electricity sharing platform that has never exploded and has never had a well-known black technology. Even the initiator of Volvo’s big price reduction came from this platform. The upgraded SPA2 is also not surprising: the maximum battery life of the EX90 is only 600 kilometers, and the minimum is only 467 kilometers (competing products can generally be 50-100 kilometers higher); The 8155 chip (which is the mainstream now, and will certainly be compared in two years) used for car engines, and the driving assistance computing power is 250TOPS (now many domestic flagships have a computing power of over 1,000, and most high-end models are in the range of 407Ps, 770N·m, 503Ps and 910N·m), but this is also compared with other traditional luxury brands.

In addition to the book parameters, the face value of EX90 also gives people a feeling of "XC90 pure electric version" (of course, this is indeed shared by oil and electricity platforms). Not only is the appearance lacking freshness, but the simple interior is also difficult to remind people of the word luxury. In addition to these most important information, EX90 is left with some "flowers": for example, its seat is made of environmentally friendly materials made of PET plastic bottles and resin; For example, the car will be equipped with sensors to detect whether children or pets are left behind; It can even charge in reverse, and use its cruising range of up to 600 kilometers to "feed back" the power grid or other vehicles.

As for the product strength of EX90, to be honest, even if it goes on the market at the end of 2022 and sets a price similar to that of XC90 (starting at 500,000), compared with its competitors, it is in a state where there are basically no advantages but many shortcomings. Compared with the new cars produced in recent years, the disadvantage of EX90 is even greater.

To give a few simple examples, the 11.4 million version of Aouita can have a battery life of 680 kilometers, and the entry version has a horsepower of 578Ps; Tucki G9 not only reached 700+, but also gave 508TOPS computing power; And those extended-range players who have broken thousands of battery life are even more annoying. In addition, technologies such as in-car life detection and reverse charging have already been seen in the domestic camp. The strength of EX90, which is average in book and not new in technology, is dangerous even in the 400,000-level market. But EX90 not only has a high probability that the price will be higher than XC90, but also will not be made in China until two years later … Such a performance certainly makes people uninterested.

More importantly, as a flagship, EX90 not only has low expectations, but also makes people’s thoughts on Volvo’s new products drop to freezing point. Is the future Volvo electric car the appearance of this current model after changing from oil to electricity, with a simple vertical screen interior? Compared with the extreme krypton that has blossomed in the high-end market, is Volvo’s future performance and battery life just like this? For the increasingly important intelligent travel, is Volvo such a mentality of running behind others? If so, in the new energy era, let alone Volvo’s luxury status, it will lack characteristics and competitiveness even if it is downgraded to an ordinary brand.

It must be said that Volvo, which is slow in electrification and weak in strength, not only faces being abandoned by the market, but also seems to be at arm’s length with Geely Group. Two years ago, the two companies announced that they would really merge into a group company, but the result after that was not only that the merger failed, but also that their cooperation in the power field came to an end. During this period, not only did Krypton successfully rush into the mid-to-high-end electric vehicle market of 300,000-400,000 grades, but also the geometric new energy, which is the main entry-level market, became the enemy of Ai ‘an. Geely even used the vast structure of SEA to help smart jump from the 100,000-grade fuel market to the 200,000-grade pure electric vehicle market, and the monthly sales volume of 1,000+was also higher than before.

On the other hand, Volvo is determined to realize electrification as soon as possible, but its real strength is still in the stage of plug-in+oil-for-electricity exchange. No matter whether SPA2 compares with the vast architecture of SEA or EX90 competes with Krypton 001, Geely can’t pretend to be a "teacher" when it comes to electrification, but it needs to ask this "senior" some difficult problems about the China market. The reason why the merger of the two companies broke down is probably because Volvo, whose car business was only $1.8 billion at the beginning, has an IPO valuation of nearly $30 billion after ten years of growth, which makes it have the idea of going solo, and perhaps makes it offer a price that even Geely, a "diamond VIP" in the acquisition industry, can’t bear in the merger negotiation.

In fact, Volvo needs Geely more now than it did 12 years ago. Not only because of the huge capital investment required by electrification technology, but also because of Geely’s achievements and strength in this field. For example, in the embarrassing period when Volvo’s sales and profits are both declining, Geely’s vast SEA architecture can help it tide over the difficulties.

However, these two brands in the same group began to "play their own games" in the field of electrification, which needs to concentrate on doing big things: they are extremely separated and independent; Volvo has never been able to use the vast structure of SEA. After 12 years, the couple finally began to sleep in separate rooms. Judging from the situation, Volvo’s soaring valuation is only temporary, and Geely, which has already taken off geometrically, has grasped the future. If we really want to part ways, Volvo may be the one abandoned by superior resources.

Summary:Among many luxury brands, Volvo never shows its edge, and rarely shows its ambition to surpass anyone. From the cost performance of products to the main concepts of safety and environmental protection, it even has many unique places. But after these years, Volvo’s main ideas have not been further recognized by domestic consumers. The slow pace of updating has led to a brand that cannot catch up with the high-end market at the price level and must be discounted in the main market. Faced with this situation, Volvo’s determination to cross the rubicon and "fully and quickly" electrify is worthy of recognition, but its achievements are obviously difficult to reverse the current decline. What’s more, the localization time of EX90 has been set in 2024, and it and Geely have begun to "drift away" in technology … So, Volvo may once again usher in a cold winter.
