Can I retire early in an internet company after working for 15 years?

Figure/vision china

Yangcheng Evening News reporter Shen Zhao

  In the internet industry, the word "retirement" has been out of the loop recently. This is very different from the "996" that people will think of when they mention Internet companies. The starting point of all this is that Tencent, the "Goose Factory", has recently announced that it will upgrade its employee care policy and introduce and improve employees’ retirement benefits. The above policies clarify the various rights and interests that Tencent employees can enjoy when they retire legally. Among them, at the node where they have been employed for 15 years, employees can choose to "retire early" even if they have not reached the retirement age, and enjoy the retirement benefits introduced before.

  "Early retirement" is what many young migrant workers dream of, and Tencent’s move can be described as a stone stirring up thousands of waves. However, the Yangcheng Evening News reporter found out that while netizens are discussing "employee benefits" and "anti-involution", words such as "working overtime as usual" and "35-year-old consensus" still occupy a large proportion.

  Internet giant wolf culture turn? "Anti-involution" and "Reducing Overtime"

  In recent years, in the fierce competition of the Internet, in order to get more output, workers in large factories have passively "rolled up", and the practice and argument of "big and small weeks" and "996 is a blessing" are not surprising. In this year, the big factories that have always advocated the "wolf-like" culture suddenly turned collectively this year, and started to cancel the big and small weeks one after another, and some even "strictly controlled" the overtime hours of employees.

  In June this year, Tencent’s Photonic Studio piloted the "first shot" against the "996" overtime culture. It was forced to leave work at 6 o’clock on Wednesday and leave the office no later than 9 o’clock on other working days. Overtime in violation of regulations will be punished. Many people think that this has given Internet companies a good start.

  Sure enough, three companies, Aauto Quicker, ByteDance and Meituan, quickly followed suit and cancelled the "anti-involution" mode. On June 24, Aauto Quicker took the lead in announcing that the week will be cancelled from July 1, and employees will work overtime as needed. The company will pay overtime wages to employees in accordance with relevant regulations; On July 9, ByteDance announced that it will cancel the week of size from August 1, and teams and individuals who need it from August can submit overtime applications through the system; On July 14, Meituan’s community group buying business Meituan Optimization was also exposed to cancel the size week.

  But in fact, after the above-mentioned companies announced the cancellation of big and small weeks, different voices appeared. For example, a previous survey in ByteDance showed that one third of employees supported the "big week" model. According to the company’s "big and small week" system, there are two Sundays to go to work every month, and double wages will be paid. For many employees, the cancellation of large and small weeks is equivalent to the cancellation of weekend overtime work with double wages for two days every month, and the monthly salary has been "generally reduced" by four days. According to the average monthly salary of 25,100 yuan in ByteDance, the loss of overtime pay for two days a month means that the salary will drop by 19% (nearly 5,000 yuan).

  Worried about "limiting overtime workload"? Implementing actions is more important than superficial compliance.

  The controversial point is not limited to this. For many Internet workers, the changes in the system seem to have no obvious impact on their work rhythm. In terms of pulse, some netizens expressed their concern: "Although the week of size has been cancelled, the workload is not small, and the off-duty time has become late. Now I walk one hour late every day."

  In fact, it is a fact that "996" is illegal. On August 26th, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security and the Supreme People’s Court jointly released a typical case of labor and personnel disputes over overtime, in which it was clearly stated that the "996" working system seriously violated the provisions of the law on extending the upper limit of working hours and should be deemed invalid. In this regard, some netizens expressed the hope that the "anti-involution" of Internet manufacturers will not only stay on the surface of compliance, but also be implemented in action.

  In this regard, Dong Yizhi, a special researcher of the Network Economic and Social E-Commerce Research Center and a lawyer of Shanghai Yida Law Firm, said in an interview with the Yangcheng Evening News reporter that the overtime problem of Internet companies is essentially related to the development model of Internet companies. Dong Yizhi said: "Although Internet companies in China have some innovations, their competitiveness in the international arena is still relatively weak. This mode of working overtime through employees is not recognized and advocated by everyone in the future. The adjustment of the current Internet giant is also a more realistic choice. "

  Zhang Yi, CEO and chief analyst of Ai Media Consulting, told the Yangcheng Evening News reporter that this restriction on overtime work by big manufacturers is generally a manifestation of their practice of social responsibility. But in fact, due to the fierce competition between internal and external manufacturers, in practice, a lot of work must be completed in time, making it difficult for employees to really reduce overtime.

  The welfare promotion measures of "anti-involution" are not limited to salary increase and equity incentive. 

  In addition to "reducing overtime", major Internet companies also introduced a number of employee welfare policies in the first year of "anti-involution" in 2021, including but not limited to salary increase and equity incentives.

  The job market in the Internet industry is highly mobile, and equity incentive is a sharp weapon for enterprises to attract talents. The higher the level of employees, the more attention they pay to equity/option rewards. On July 6th, Xiaomi issued a new stock incentive plan after the Young Engineer Incentive Plan awarded 3,904 outstanding engineers, and awarded 119.65 million shares of Xiaomi to 122 people, including technical experts, the first batch of entrepreneurs in the new decade and middle and senior managers.

  JD.COM announced in a high-profile way that from July 1, 2021 to July 1, 2023, it will take two years to gradually increase the average annual salary of JD.COM Group from 14 to 16, directly for two months. Once this salary increase notice was released, it immediately rushed to the top of Weibo’s hot search.

  The news of "the strongest employee benefits" comes from Tencent. On November 5th, Tencent officially launched the employee retirement treatment plan. The scheme shows that employees can enjoy customized souvenirs, long-term service thank-you money and retirement honor money at the same time when they retire legally. Among them, the long-term service thank-you payment is a fixed salary of 6 months, and the retirement honor payment is one of "service life payment" and "50% unreleased stock option".

  Soon after, Tencent once again publicly released the employee care upgrade plan, and proposed the "early retirement" plan for employees for the first time. Upgrade the employee’s "career milestone" to six important nodes: 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, 15 years, 20 years and legal retirement, and each node can enjoy different physical gifts or special rights. In the node where employees have been employed for 15 years, even if they have not reached the retirement age, they can choose to "retire early" and enjoy the retirement benefits introduced before. It is also this news that makes netizens "boiling".

  Is early retirement a "pie" or a welfare? How to break the "35-year-old consensus" of Internet companies?

  In fact, the Internet industry has always had an unwritten "35-year-old consensus". If a person is still working in a basic post over 35 years old, then he is easily "optimized". It is worth mentioning that Pulse Data Research Institute recently released a survey to sort the average age of employees in large Internet companies in China. The results show that the average age of employees in these companies ranges from 27 to 33. Among them, the average age of Tencent employees is the youngest among the old BAT (Baidu, Ali, Tencent), and the average age of employees is only 29 years old.

  Based on the above statistics, some analysts even think that the early retirement policy issued by Tencent is a welfare on the surface, but it is actually a pie. Even the deeper meaning behind it: I don’t want older employees to continue to occupy the pit. Therefore, for ordinary migrant workers with early retirement dreams, "is there any chance to retire?" "Is there enough money after retirement?" This is the real problem.

  In this regard, Zhang Yi believes that Tencent’s early retirement plan not only has one aspect for employees to consider, but also has one aspect for the enterprise itself. "A large number of old employees stay in this position, and newcomers have no more opportunities for promotion." Zhang Yi said that the Internet needs constant innovation. Tencent has gone through such a long course of 23 years, and it has fallen behind in innovation. Therefore, it may become an inevitable way for the healthy development of enterprises to increase innovation, increase the promotion of young people and let old employees retire early.

469,800! Ask the M9 sales to reveal the market situation.

[Market Search Officer] At the end of December last year, AITO was officially listed, with an official price of 469,800-569,800 yuan. Since its listing, the topic of M9 has been on the rise. It is reported that by the beginning of February, the cumulative number of M9 has exceeded 40,000. Then what is its actual market situation? We interviewed the sales of HarmonyOS Zhixing Experience Center in four places to see what they said.

Coordinates: Guangzhou, a first-tier city in South China?

Interviewee: Manager Zhao, sales manager of HarmonyOS Zhixing Experience Center.

Q1: What are the benefits or rights of M9?

Manager Zhao: At present, it is generally worth 30,000 yuan, including 10,000 yuan of optional fund and 20,000 yuan of intelligent driving software package. For customers who booked blindly before, there is a discount of 5,000 yuan for changing from small to large, and it has been closed on February 26. At present, the interest of 30,000 yuan is tentatively scheduled until the end of February. In addition, there is an additional purchase of this product, and the final payment is reduced by 20,000 yuan. This is mainly aimed at the old car owners of Cyrus or Wenjie, and the additional purchase or replacement will take effect. The rights and interests in March have not been officially announced yet, but I personally predict that there will not be much change, but the official announcement shall prevail.

picture

Q2: What’s the proportion of M9 in recent clients?

Manager Zhao: There are a lot of people looking at this car, especially in January, when it was too crowded to receive and there was no time for detailed statistics, but more than 50% of the people in the store saw this car.

Q3: Who are the people who bought this car?

Sales Manager Zhao: There are relatively more male customers aged 40-50, many of whom are middle-level or private bosses of enterprises, all of whom have certain economic strength. Many families also have fuel vehicles such as BBA and want to replace or purchase more.

Q4: When looking at this car, which cars do customers usually compare?

Sales manager Zhao: At most, it is comparison, and there are also comparisons, as well as some models of BBA with similar price.

Q5. Why did the customer finally choose the Jiejie M9 instead of other models?

Sales Manager Zhao: With Huawei’s blessing, many customers trust Huawei’s smart driving and security, and like Huawei’s intelligent and scientific configuration.

Interviewee: Sales hole manager of HarmonyOS Zhixing Experience Center.

Q1: What is the customer’s choice ratio between the extended range version and the pure electric version? What configuration version do customers like to choose the most?

Sales hole manager: About 70% of customers will choose the extended-range version, and many of them choose the extended-range Ultra version with a 42-degree battery pack. We also don’t recommend customers to add 20,000 to choose a 52-degree battery pack, and the battery life is about 50 kilometers longer, which is not cost-effective.

Q2. What color schemes do M9 customers like to choose? Do you want to increase the price?

Sales hole manager: Yadan Black and Xinghe Blue are more choices for exterior color matching. These two color matching and Danxia Orange are both double colors, which need to be increased by 10,000 yuan. The prices of various optional items can also be seen in Huawei Mall, so many customers of the 10,000-yuan optional fund directly use them to choose their favorite colors, and the remaining two color matching gold black and Mu Ye blue are one color, which does not need to be increased.

There are three kinds of interior color matching, red tea orange, moon shadow ash don’t need to add money, and Wang Shuxing needs to add 12 thousand. Wang Shuxing, this one includes solid wood veneer, suede ceiling and rhombic quilted seat, which is especially expensive.

Q3. What are the points that customers are satisfied with this car?

Sales hole manager: Huawei’s HarmonyOS system car, the texture and space of the whole car, and the ride comfort are all satisfactory after many customers’ experiences, such as intelligent driving system, zero-gravity seat and Turing chassis, which are also recognized by many customers.

picture

Q4. What are the points that customers are not satisfied with this car?

Sales hole manager: Some younger customers will not like the design of the M9. In addition, some customers will mention the inconvenience of the projection curtain unfolding and the linkage of seats, but it is said that this follow-up OTA will have a solution.

Interviewee: Sales Money Manager of HarmonyOS Zhixing Experience Center.

Q1: What are the benefits or rights of M9?

Sales money manager: There are 10,000 optional funds and 20,000 smart driving bags, and the old owners of this product will increase their purchases, and the final payment can be reduced by 20,000, which is unified throughout the country.

Q2: Who are the people who bought this car?

Sales Money Manager: There are more customers over 40 years old, corporate executives, state officials, etc., all of whom recognize and trust Huawei technology, and can take care of both home and business reception.

Q3: When looking at this car, which cars do customers usually compare?

Sales Money Manager: At the same time, there are many people looking at the ideal L9, and some customers will mention Aouita’s cars, as well as Weilai ES8 and these.

Q4. What are the points that customers are not satisfied with this car?

Sales Money Manager: Some customers who are looking at the ideal L9 at the same time will think that the price of the M9 is still a little expensive.

Q1. What colors do customers like to choose for this car?

Manager Feng of Sales: Yadan black is relatively more, which is a double color of the silver roof. Some customers will think that this color scheme looks more advanced and a little Maibakh.

Q2: How concerned is the projection curtain function of this car?

Manager Feng: This function is still of interest to many customers. For example, our exhibition car is now locked with the curtain first. When there were a lot of people, many customers’ children refused to come down to watch cartoons on it, and it was useless for parents to drag it, which also affected the experience of other customers behind.

Q3. How long will it take to book a car now?

Manager Feng: Now, if you book a car, you should be able to pick it up in May at the earliest. At the latest, you should be able to pick it up by the end of June, which will be unified throughout the country and arrange production and pick it up according to the order time.

Q4: What is the cost and time of general routine maintenance?

Sales Manager Feng: The routine maintenance of the extended-range version is generally around 500 yuan, which is much cheaper than the fuel car of the same price. If it is a pure electric version, it is even cheaper, less than 400 yuan. The first insurance is 5000 kilometers, and the subsequent maintenance is about every 10 thousand kilometers.

summary

Through interviews with four experience centers in Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Chengdu and Shanghai, we come to these conclusions:

1. Ideal L9 is the main competitor of M9. Other comparison models include Weilai ES8 and Tengshi D9.

2. The car purchase discount includes 30,000 yuan rights and interests, such as 10,000 yuan optional fund and 20,000 yuan intelligent driving software package. For this product, the final payment can be reduced by 20,000 yuan.

3. The main consumers are men aged 40-50, mostly middle-level or private bosses of enterprises with economic strength.

4. Consumers choose to ask M9 mainly because they trust Huawei’s intelligent driving technology and safety.

5. The hot-selling configuration is the extended-range Ultra version of 529,800 yuan, and the popular colors are Yadan Black and Xinghe Blue.

6. The earliest time to pick up the car is May, and it may be the end of June at the latest.

7. Some young consumers are not satisfied with the design, the unfolding of projection curtain and the inconvenience of seat linkage.

February 12 Chairman of BU, Huawei Smart Car SolutionYuOn social media, he said that he drove the M9 from Anhui to Shenzhen, and the intelligent driving of 1,314 kilometers achieved no takeover and zero takeover, which once again triggered a heated discussion. There is no doubt that the intellectual driving ability of M9 is indeed "far ahead", and its product strength is very good in terms of safety, chassis, comfort and configuration, and the competition of models in this price range is becoming more and more fierce. We will wait and see what sales results M9 can achieve in the follow-up period.

Angry | Beyond the "national gate" and behind the network … These behaviors that endanger national security should be vigilant.

  Visiting a school abroad was lured into rebellion, lured by money to hand over confidential documents to "netizens", and secretly stole them under the banner of cooperation … … These crimes that endanger national security concern you and me!

  On the occasion of the eighth National Security Education Day, the national security organs announced a number of typical cases on the 14th to remind the broad masses of the people to enhance their awareness of national security, guard against acts endangering national security, and jointly build a solid barrier to safeguard national security.

  Beware of the trap outside the "national gate"

  Nowadays, it is becoming more and more convenient for China citizens to study, work and travel abroad. Foreign spy intelligence agencies will seize the opportunity for some people to relax their guard after going abroad and set traps, which will pose a threat to the personal safety of our citizens and bring potential risks to our national security and interests.

  Zhao Xuejun is a scientific researcher in the space field. During his visit to foreign universities as a visiting scholar, his status as an expert in the space field was focused on by foreign spy intelligence agencies, and then he was wooed and rebelled.

  How did Zhao Xuejun fall into each other’s trap step by step? At first, the other party just asked him to eat, travel and give gifts. As the relationship grew closer, the other party began to ask him some sensitive questions and paid a lot of consulting fees.

  Just before Zhao Xuejun returned to China, he made clear the identity of the spy intelligence agency in the opposite direction and turned Zhao Xuejun against him.

  After returning to China, Zhao Xuejun used the USB flash drive and website specially equipped for him to receive mission instructions and return intelligence information, and met with the personnel of the country’s spy intelligence agencies several times in many places in China, providing a large amount of confidential information to the other party.

  In June, 2019, the state security organs in Beijing took compulsory measures against Zhao Xuejun according to law. In August 2022, the people’s court sentenced Zhao Xuejun to 7 years’ imprisonment, deprived of political rights for 3 years and confiscated his personal property of RMB 200,000.

  In recent years, the state security organs have found in their work that some criminals are deceiving others under the banner of "immigration dream", but they are secretly committing illegal and criminal acts that endanger our national security.

  Zheng Fuxing and Wang Peiyue are the backbone members of an overseas "immigration service company", which operates "customers" abroad by applying for tourist visas. After the "client" went abroad, the gang immediately exposed its true face, coerced and lured the "client" to forge household registration books, compulsory summons certificates, compulsory abortion certificates and other "documents", publicly declared that it was "persecuted at home" and smeared the image of our country with the so-called "criminal evidence" of "making something out of nothing".

  In October 2021, the state security organs of Hebei Province took compulsory measures against Zheng Fuxing and Wang Peiyue according to law. In May 2022, the people’s court sentenced Zheng Fuxing and Wang Peiyue to three years and nine months’ imprisonment respectively.

  Whether tempted by petty profits or tricked into using others with ulterior motives, these acts that harm national interests and endanger national security for personal gain eventually cost themselves dearly. The state security organ reminds us that it is the duty and obligation of every China citizen to safeguard national security no matter where he is.

  The French Open cannot escape! The internet is absolutely illegal.

  Social networks are affecting people’s real life. When using social networks, we should be wary of people with ulterior motives using network technology to disguise their identities, collecting information in the name of "making friends", "consulting" and "part-time jobs", or spreading rumors and even endangering national security in the way of attracting people’s attention.

  In December 2016, Han Xiao, a grassroots civil servant in a certain place in Xinjiang, met a local "netizen" through mobile dating software while traveling abroad. Since then, Han Xiao has often shared her life with each other online, and complained from time to time that her salary is too low.

  The other party immediately introduced his cousin "Chen Yi" to Han Xiao, saying that he could provide opportunities to earn extra money.

  After Chen Yi added Han Xiao as a WeChat friend, he asked Han Xiao to provide sensitive local information and promised to pay him. After Han Xiao agreed, "Chen Yi" further used money as a temptation to direct him to collect confidential documents of party and government organs.

  In order to ensure "safety", the other party even trained Han Xiao as a spy, and sent special personnel to provide Han Xiao with funds and communication tools such as mobile phones and SIM cards. Knowing that the other party is a member of an overseas spy intelligence agency, Han Xiao continued to collect and provide classified documents in order to obtain high remuneration.

  After the incident, the people’s court found that Han Xiao had provided 19 confidential documents and materials to the other party, including 5 documents identified as intelligence, and collected a total of more than 120,000 yuan of spy funds. In March 2019, Han Xiao was sentenced to 11 years and 6 months in prison for espionage, deprived of political rights for 4 years, and confiscated personal property of RMB50,000.

  In the Internet age, some people, in order to attract traffic and attention, do not hesitate to break through the legal bottom line and fabricate lies to discredit the country and the government, which has a bad influence.

  The national security organs of Jiangsu Province found in their work that since June 2020, Zhang has pretended to be eight Burmese nationals and opened several accounts on overseas social media websites to introduce daily life abroad, attracting tens of thousands of fans’ attention.

  In order to gain attention, Zhang frequently published posts smearing the image of our country, attacking the party and the government, and even incited others to overthrow our state power by violent means, which had a very bad influence.

  After fully grasping the evidence of Zhang’s crimes, in February 2022, the state security organs took compulsory measures against Zhang according to law.

  The Internet is not a place of extra-legality, and no matter how carefully planned and disguised it is, it can’t hide the essence of illegal and criminal acts endangering national security. The state security organ reminds that any act of stealing state secrets, spreading rumors and endangering state security by using the Internet will be severely punished by law. Clear cyberspace needs to be governed by law, and it needs the joint efforts of each of us.

  Cooperation or stealing secrets? Must be carefully screened.

  Nowadays, the acts of foreign spy intelligence agencies and anti-China hostile forces endangering China’s national security are no longer confined to the traditional security field. Some organizations and personnel, under the banner of overseas non-governmental organizations, investigation and consulting companies, high-tech companies, etc., start from the fields of economy, biology, science and technology, in an attempt to "make a fuss" in China’s human rights, industrial chain, supply chain and other fields, causing harm to our national security.

  Li runs a consulting company in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, which mainly provides supply chain risk audit services for overseas companies. A few years ago, Li’s company cooperated with an overseas NGO.

  With the promotion of cooperation, Li found that this NGO’s auditing standards for China enterprises are becoming more and more detailed, especially for Xinjiang-related content.

  Although Li has found that the overseas NGO is actively collecting information about the so-called "human rights issues" in Xinjiang, they still undertake and implement relevant investigation projects in pursuit of economic interests. In the end, Li was punished by the state security organ of Guangdong Province according to law, and his company was ordered to implement rectification.

  There are also some overseas organizations and personnel who approach our citizens with a "friendly face" and commit acts that endanger national security in an imperceptible disguise, which requires our constant vigilance.

  In 2019, the sea cucumber farm opened by Mr. Zhang in Dalian, Liaoning Province welcomed several "uninvited guests". Huang led several foreigners to install marine hydrological monitoring equipment and sea and air monitoring video equipment in Mr. Zhang’s sea cucumber farm in the name of "free installation of seawater quality monitoring equipment".

  Since then, Mr. Zhang has gradually discovered that the data of hydrological monitoring equipment has been continuously transmitted overseas, and many of the data have nothing to do with sea cucumber culture. Those sea and air monitoring and video recording equipment are meaningless to sea cucumber culture.

  Feeling suspicious, Mr. Zhang called 12339 to report to the state security organs. It has been identified that the illegal installation of monitoring equipment by overseas personnel in China’s waters poses a serious threat to China’s maritime rights and interests and military security. The state security organs of Liaoning Province took compulsory measures against Huang and several foreigners according to law, and seized monitoring equipment. Huang and others truthfully confessed the illegal and criminal facts of illegally stealing China’s marine hydrological data and naval and air military images.

  At present, traditional security and non-traditional security threats are intertwined, and some illegal and criminal acts that endanger national security are more hidden, and enterprises and individuals will be exploited if they are not careful. This requires the broad masses of the people to effectively enhance their awareness of national security and be alert to acts that endanger national security. Once suspicious circumstances that endanger national security are discovered, they should call the national security organ to report the case at 12339 in time. National security is everyone’s responsibility. Only when the whole people work together can we build an indestructible national security people’s defense line.

In today’s automotive market, those who adapt to the market are considered a class, but those who do not have a market manufacturing market are the kings.

Toyota New Crown

Last year’s Guangzhou Auto Show saw the resurrection of the Prado, which attracted the attention of most people and stole the limelight of another car.

It is the Toyota Crown, a model blessed with a generation of feelings and beliefs that is operated as an independent brand. At present, the market feedback is average, but betting on the glory of the word Toyota "Crown", how can it be possible to leave the market in a hasty manner? No, the new car is arranged.

Based on the TNGA-L platform, the car was selected for its debut at the auto show, and the actual cars will not be delivered until the first half of 2024. Anyone who has seen it knows that this crown is really a little different. First of all, the appearance design is added. The front face is decorated with light strips and trims, and the lower air intake grille adopts a straight waterfall shape.

The pure-blooded Crown Sedan will first launch a hybrid version and a fuel-powered version of the high-end model. The production capacity of this car in the Japanese domestic market is only 600 units per month. In the local market, its popularity is no less than that of the BMW 5 Series and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Can entering the Chinese market once again continue the glory of the Crown?

雪佛兰探界者PLUS

怎么定义这款来自雪佛兰的新车?比德系快,比日系省。

从公布的数据来看的确是符合这个描述,1.5T的Ecotec混动发动机和全栈自研插混电驱单元以及奥特能同标准的插混电池加持下,百公里油耗只需要1.05L,纯电续航能达到155km,综合续航数值可观,百公里加速也有6.8S,在插混中型SUV领域,这个数据表现也算出色。

外观上也看得出雪佛兰寻求突破的决心,前脸设计语言和以往不同,加入了蜂窝前脸元素,采用了熏黑处理,并且加入了机械等设计在内,主打一个突破以往,迎合年轻受众群体。车身整体也相对矮趴,营造一种俯冲的既视感。车实力不差,主要还是看内饰以及价格跟不跟得上,毕竟现在的新能源领域卷的飞起,雪佛兰想吃这碗饭也得拿出诚意。

新车预计北京车展亮相,5月正式上市,6月开始交付,价格也肯定不会超过20万,大概率会在17-19万,说不定还会有更大的惊喜。从零跑C16身上,看得出零跑是要将性价比一条路走到黑了,冰箱彩电大沙发都不落下,还靠更低的价格来获取关注,只是过早的透支了降价区间,没有技术积淀和造车底蕴以及供应链成本控制优势,当大厂在打价格战的时候,零跑就显得很被动,降少了没人买,降多了伤筋动骨。

Wuling Starlight EV

Since Wuling tasted the sweetness of Hongguang MINI EV, felt the vitality brought by a phenomenal explosion, and the potential considerable demand in the new energy field, it began to focus its brand development on the new energy market segment. After Bingguo, it brought the Star series, Xingchen, Xingchi, Nebula and Xingguang.

In fact, Starlight is no stranger to everyone. 88,800, the wheelbase is 2800mm, which is cost-effective in the medium-sized car camp. Especially the design has also changed the positioning of the Wuling tool car in the past, which is more exquisite, fashionable and durable. Today I want to talk about the Wuling Starlight EV pure electric version model. If nothing else, it will debut in the second quarter. The biggest change in the appearance of the pure electric model is the closed front face, the semi-hidden door handle, and the sliding back design, all of which highlight the fashion and sports atmosphere. From the declaration information, the EV version of Starlight is equipped with 41.9/54 kWh battery pack, and the pure electric cruising range is 410/510km respectively.

Today is different from the past. I wonder if there will be a certain adjustment in the price of Starlight EV after the BYD Honor Family Bucket is listed? We can wait and see.

Epoch ET

This is already the second car in the Star Era, and the price is probably going to be a blast.

As the second model of the Star Era sub-brand, Star Era ET is also the brand’s first SUV, and Star Era ES currently forms a sedan + SUV camp. Don’t look at it as a high-end new energy SUV, the off-road strength is also quite outstanding, the wading depth is as high as 750mm, and it is also equipped with CDC electromagnetic vibration and air suspension. I don’t know if there is an entry version, which can ensure excellent passability while also ensuring the car experience of drivers and passengers.

From the appearance, this car still retains a lot of the design of the oil car, which looks thicker and more powerful, but through the headlights and closed front face, the frameless electric suction door and other designs also highlight the new energy identity. 3 meters on the wheelbase is also a big breakthrough for Chery, after all, the previous cars were almost the same size. However, for Star Era ET, the listing price needs to take into account potential competing models such as Zhiji LS6. Fortunately, Star Era ET is backed by Chery, with technical support and word-of-mouth blessing, it can have the power to fight.

Tank 300Hi4-T

The mixed version of the Tank 300 made many people look forward to it. No, it’s coming soon.

From the MIIT declaration information, the tank 300Hi4-T is equipped with a 2.0T engine and a P2 motor, with a 37.1kWh ternary lithium battery pack and a vertical 9HAT gearbox. The pure electric battery life can reach 105km, and the power consumption is 24.5kWh for 100 kilometers. The fuel consumption for 100 kilometers is 2.29L. The arrival of plug-in hybrid models will significantly improve the cost and performance of daily travel.

The appearance is basically the same as the tank 300, with a strong hardcore off-road style. The round headlights and thick chrome trim are already iconic elements. The square box shape and the wheelbase reach 2750mm, which can ensure relatively excellent rear space performance. How much do you think is appropriate?

Chevrolet Ranger

Chevrolet’s big guy also came, positioning the medium and large SUV, the English name is Traverse, and the Chinese name is Patrol.

At the end of last year, this car completed the declaration, and a lot of information was exposed. There are two kinds of appearance to provide. The LT and Z71 models of the overseas version largely retain the original American car design. These two versions can be temporarily understood as ordinary and off-road models. The wheelbase reached 3702mm, the length of the car was nearly 5.2 meters, the size was not small, and the aura was full. It is currently the largest SUV product made by Chevrolet, and the 7-seat layout is easy to deal with.

The interior is referenced from overseas versions of models, which is a breakthrough and change for American cars. The center console is more streamlined and capable, and the sense of hierarchy is also richer. The 11-inch + 17.7-inch dual-screen linkage design greatly increases the sense of technology, and the shift is changed to a huai block design, freeing up more space. Even compared with domestic cars, there is still a certain gap, but for American cars, it is not easy to achieve this level.

Mazda EZ-6

Mazda, can you turn over this time?

Mazda is also engaged in new energy. From the new product planning conference in Changan, you can see the new car plan of the Mazda brand. There is a pure electric car internally codenamed J90A, or it will be named Mazda EZ-6. Built on the Changan dark blue platform, it will provide pure electric and extended range models.

From the exposed road test vehicle, it is not difficult to see that it somewhat resembles the dark blue SL03, and the overall shape and height are very similar. However, Mazda’s classic iconic taillights have been retained, which is obviously different from the dark blue SL03. It is not difficult to guess that Mazda’s design elements will be added to the front face to increase the recognition. More information has not yet been exposed, and it is not surprising that it will be unveiled before and after the Beijing Auto Show. We can look forward to it.

Dongfeng e π 008

The size is larger than the Landscape FREE, with 6 main seats. It still implements the two versions of extended range and pure electricity, making its debut at the Beijing Auto Show.

Positioning the 6-seat medium and large SUV, the body size is very outstanding, with a wheelbase of 3025mm and a length of more than 5 meters. The closed front face and the design of the through headlights, the exaggerated air inlet shape of the blackened treatment, and the 7-format personalized wheel hub style. The appearance continues the characteristics of the Dongfeng eπ family, which is dynamic and fashionable.

Based on Dongfeng quantum architecture, there are Dongfeng SOA electronic and electrical architecture and Dongfeng Mach E power system blessing, providing pure electric and extended range version selection. Refer to the price of Dongfeng eπ 007, you can predict the price of Dongfeng eπ 008, and the probability will not exceed 200,000 to make up for the gap in brand influence.

Hongqi H9

The Hongqi H9 has welcomed a new model and will make its debut at the Beijing Auto Show. Compared with the photo frame models on sale, it offers a more diverse range of powertrain options, from 1.8T/2.5T V6/3.0T V6, of which 1.8T and 2.5T V6 are new options. We can look forward to whether the threshold will be lowered.

The appearance design continues the style of the current model, and there are certain adjustments and improvements in the details. For example, the straight waterfall grille is embellished with red ornaments, which makes the front face more recognizable. LED running lights have also become arrow feather styles, and the national style elements are stronger. Hidden door handles and other details increase the visual effect.

The classic glimpse of the crown, the old crown that appeared in those movies

  [Pacific Auto Network, Culture Channel] As the first independently named car series under Toyota and one of the oldest car series, the Crown has a high reputation in various regions. In the past half century, the Crown has really carried too much wonderful history. At the same time, it is also a frequent guest in film and television works, incarnating as a "movie star" to shuttle through the joys and sorrows of the light and shadow screen. Next, the editor will take you back to the 1950s and take a look at the history of the Crown, see which famous films the Crown participated in, and see if the plot will evoke your movie-watching memories?

  Back in the distant 1950s, the Asian film industry flourished like never before, and both aesthetics and themes began to bloom. In our country, Hong Kong, the Shaw Brothers and Dianmao Company competed fiercely; in the East and the Pacific, the revival of literary films and works describing social issues flourished. During this period, famous directors such as Akira Kurosawa and Yasujiro Ozu also produced a large number of well-known masterpieces.

  As cars gradually enter the lives of the general public, a large number of films depicting urban reality have emerged, so you will find an elegant and refined car often appearing in the camera, shuttling through the streets and the main character’s story line, and it is the original Toyota Crown.

  How high was the exposure rate of the original Crown? In the 1950s and 1970s, it appeared in at least 600 films, almost growing up with the development history of postwar East Asian films. The Crown of that year took on far more important tasks than in the film. As the first model that truly represents Japan’s independent research and development, Toyota injected many innovative designs into it. For example, to make it easier for rear passengers to get up and down, it adopted a closed door; the front suspension was replaced by a freestanding model pioneered in Japan. At this time, the crown was crowned with the logo of Toyopet, which literally translates as "Toyota’s Beloved".

  After the launch of the first-generation Crown, the market performance exceeded Toyota’s expectations. Not only was it very popular in China, but also went to Europe and the United States. Therefore, Toyota did not hesitate to put the Crown in the position of the flagship of the group, making it the "pillar" of the Toyota family.

  When it comes to the 007 series of movies, I believe everyone knows that, in addition to the dashing James Bond and the graceful Bond girls, the most impressive thing is the design of the amazing car chase scene, but you must know that the car protagonist is by no means unique. In 1967’s "007 Thunderbolt Valley", the second generation Toyota Crown and the 2000GT sports car launched a chase war on the streets of Tokyo, and was included in one of the top ten classic scenes in the history of 007.

  In the film, when 007 left Osato Chemical Company, four of the boss’s confidants chased him out in a Toyota Crown and tried to shoot him from the car. At this time, a Toyota 2000GT came to the rescue of 007 at high speed, driving the secret agent beautiful woman Aki, a road chase began, bullets, the crown chased the 2000GT… At this time, a helicopter appeared in the sky, with a huge magnet, the crown was sucked up to the sky, 007 and beautiful woman Aki survived and drove away. This is a typical 007 plot, and the imaginative picture of the helicopter and the crown shook the world, and it is logical to be selected as one of the top ten classic shots in the history of 007.

  Back then, the crew chose the Crown as a big group car and launched a chase war, not just because it was a luxury car. The second-generation Crown, born in 1962, was developed during the "Iwado boom" and the highway boom, so the positioning of the new Crown must be spacious, luxurious and comfortable.

  Mechanically, the second-generation model was equipped with the first "X-type" chassis to improve driving stability, as well as cutting-edge technologies such as the M series straight six and the Toyotglide later stage. In the later stage, there was even a high-performance version of the CROWN S with higher power output. Of course, it was also the first large-scale sports sedan made in Japan.

  Toyota has added a lot of features to the crown one after another, but it has not increased the price. In the follow-up version of this car, electronic locks, air conditioners, electric windows, refrigerators, etc. have been added as standard equipment, which is full of sincerity.

  The second-generation crown further established the crown’s status as the flagship of the car series, describing the car in 1966 in Modern Car magazine: "The crown, which is extremely quiet and smooth to drive, makes the driving feel like the tire is running over the velvet." With such a high evaluation, it is no wonder that it has become popular in film history.

  Crown was also the first Toyota to be exported to China. After the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan in 1972, Premier Zhou personally participated in the negotiations the following year, introducing 200 fourth-generation models and then assigning them to the reception of the Canton Fair. Since then, Crown has officially entered the land of China.

  However, if the crown really became popular in China, it had to start from the seventh generation of the crown after the 1980s. Riding on the spring breeze of reform and opening up, the seventh and eighth generation crowns became household names, and naturally became one of the most common props in domestic films at that time. Just like in the 1950s, they continued to incarnate as "movie stars".

  The Eighth Generation Crown (1987-1991)

  The Eighth Generation Crown (released in 1991)

  The 10th generation of the Crown (1995-1999)

  As the big IP of the Spring Festival file, the "Detective Chinatown" series has received countless attention since the first one in 2015. This year’s "Detective Chinatown 3" has won 3.562 billion yuan to lead the Spring Festival box office. In the latest one, the theme city has come to Tokyo from Bangkok and New York before, and the prop car in the film naturally has a bunch of familiar faces, including a number of crown sedan series.

  In the movie, the Crown, in addition to its duty as a police car, is also the car that Liu Haoran and Wang Baoqiang drive through the streets of Tokyo – the 12th-generation Crown that we are all quite familiar with, and it is also a Royal Saloon model that is almost identical to the domestic version.

  When it comes to the 12th-generation Crown, it was introduced into China as early as 2005, which was the first time in the history of the Crown that it was produced in a country other than Japan. It is worth mentioning that this generation of the Crown focuses on the concept of "Zero Crown". From design to mechanics, it abandons the constraints of the past to create a younger Crown sedan, but the only constant is its unique oriental luxury philosophy.

  The 12th-generation Crown body shape retained the classic flavor while still maintaining full and rich texture, and it was also as low as an astonishing 0.27. In addition, more cutting-edge new equipment of the time was used, such as the first G-BOOK and, as well as smart keys, color displays with navigation and reversing images, etc., and even the world’s first to reduce pedestrian injuries. The power aspect has also been completely revamped, and the GR series V6 engine with a new structure and dual VVT-i intake and exhaust has not only improved the power output of the Crown to the next level, but also significantly improved vibration control, fuel consumption and emissions.

  Thanks to the "Crown Complex" accumulated by early imports into China, the domestic 12th-generation Crown surpassed the sales of 2,992 units in the first month of listing, becoming the best-selling mid-to-high-end luxury car in the Chinese market. In the following two months, the order volume of the 12th-generation Crown exceeded 10,000 units. By the end of 2006, the sales volume of the Crown exceeded 60,000 units, accounting for more than 30% of the high-end car market.

  Detective Conan Episode 471

  The 12th-generation Crown is still the darling of film and television works, whether it is the well-known animation "Detective Conan" to the action suspense film "Hunt" (2017) directed by John Woo, you can see its handsome figure.

  The movie "The Hunt" (2017)

  In 2021, the "Crown" car series has once again reappeared in the arena with a new high-end identity. Unlike the luxury cars of the past, the current Crown is positioned as the flagship seven seats of static luxury and dynamic, and it is named, and the newly added "KLUGER" has the meaning of intelligence and wisdom. You may wonder, is the high-end car charm of the Crown still there? Of course it is still there – this time it will be presented in a stronger form.

  Unlike the elegant and quiet Crown sedan, the Crown Land Release based on the TNGA-K platform adopts the "Powerful Suave" design concept, and the shape follows the current design taste. Whether it is the diamond-shaped honeycomb middle net, the wide lower grille combined with the through-through silver decorative strips or the strong three-dimensional body, the whole vehicle builds a strong and brave visual perception.

  The A/B/C pillars of Crown Land are all treated in black to create a suspended roof effect. The waist line extending to the taillights rises sharply, further enhancing the muscle feel on the side of the body. With 18-inch cutting/20-inch two-color cutting and polishing aluminum alloy wheels, the whole car is quite domineering in the air field.

  In terms of interior, Crown Land is built with a center console with a skeleton vertical axis and horizontal axis focusing on the large screen, and then covered with textured interior materials, delicate sewing process and 12.3-inch display screen, continuing the exquisite interior style of the crown in the past. In addition, this infotainment system also has powerful online functions such as intelligent voice interaction system, facial recognition function, Toyota Zhixing Internet, remote diagnosis, theft tracking, etc., close to the online connected life.

  In terms of power, the Crown Land Discharge is equipped with a new generation of TNGA 2.5L dual engine system. Among them, the 2.5L DYNAMIC FORCE engine adopts new technologies such as VVT-iE intelligent electric timing intake system, dual injection fuel supply system (D-4S + injection) and laser cladding valve seat. The comprehensive power reaches 183 kW, torque reaches 238 Nm, and can achieve 41% thermal efficiency, matching the new generation of E-CVT stepless, power output is more linear and smoother, bringing surging power while further reducing fuel consumption.

  The Crown Land Ramp is based on the high level and low center of gravity performance of the TNGA-K platform to create a low center of gravity body. At the same time, the Crown Land Ramp adopts a front McPherson + rear double fork arm independent suspension system, supplemented by the same standard setting, which reduces the body roll while improving the stability, driving control and comfort of the vehicle. The E-Four electronic four-wheel drive system can greatly improve the output torque of the rear wheels, and also increase the torque distribution ratio of the rear wheels (front and rear torque 100:0~ 20:80), achieving more accurate control while bringing a sporty driving feeling like a rear drive.

  In terms of safety, the crown land release has not been neglected. The Toyota Smart Safety System (Safety Sense2.5) is equipped with a pre-collision safety system (with forward pedestrian identification, etc.), a dynamic radar cruise control system (with full-speed domain following function), a lane tracking assistance system (with following function) and an automatic adjustment high beam system. It can not only identify vehicles, but also pedestrians, reduce the chance of accidents and reduce collision injuries. In addition, there is a standard 7-airbag panoramic monitoring system for all series, a blind spot warning system on the rear side of the reversing side, a tire pressure monitoring system, a parking anti-collision assistance system, a vehicle proximity warning system, a driving start assistance control system, and a parallel blind spot monitoring system, etc., to fully protect drivers and passengers.

  Since its birth in the 1950s, Crown has witnessed the development history of film and the changes in social life. Whether it is the eastern elegant philosophy of the past or the new identity of the flagship SUV today, its innovative spirit and luxury level remain unchanged. With the official launch of the FAW Toyota Crown in China on August 27, the Crown car series will also open a new chapter. I believe that more Crown figures will appear in movies around the world in the future.

In terms of appearance, the new Prado uses "reliability, permanence, and professionalism" as keywords to achieve a combination of traditional and modern exterior design, and provides two options of round lamp front face and rectangular front face, recreating the hard-line style of the Landcooluzer car series. The round front face reveals a strong retro atmosphere in the classic; the rectangular front face is bold and avant-garde, exuding a strong hard-line off-road style. The two styles of front face shape will fully meet the user’s personalized car needs.

In addition, the new Prado adopts a non-load-bearing body structure design, which increases body rigidity by 30% and frame rigidity by 50%.%It can maintain a stable body posture under any road conditions, providing users with a more secure and comfortable driving experience.

The new crown was developed by Toyota based on the decision to create the "original crown", and the design concept of "NEW FORMAL" was used to redefine the Toyota flagship with the new style of IKEA.

The new crown is based on the GA-L platform and features an FR layout for a low, wide and powerful body stance. The hammerhead design enhances the sharpness and width of the front face; the Under Priority large trapezoidal grille is exquisite and luxurious, creating a majesty and style commensurate with the Toyota flagship. The long front and 6-window cockpit present a stretched and smooth side body, and the one-line taillight design further broadens the rear shape of the new car.

In terms of the interior, large areas of wood grain panels are used in a continuous arrangement from the instrument panel to the left and right doors to the floating center console, highlighting the characteristics of the "island structure". In terms of materials, the accessible parts (such as the instrument panel, the door interior panel, the center console, etc.) are wrapped in leather materials, creating the luxury feeling of a classic car.

Ouyang Zhenhua’s Luck and Misfortune

Ouyang Zhenhua, the actor who was once a hit in Hong Kong’s entertainment industry, has recently suffered a series of unfortunate events. The TV series "Forensic Pioneer 4" he starred in disappeared from the hot search list during the hit broadcast, much to the disappointment of many fans. Since the premiere of "Forensic Pioneer" in 2006, the demand for criminal investigation dramas in Hong Kong has reached a peak, and the audience demand for such dramas has also grown. However, the cast change of "Forensic Pioneer 4" has caused many viewers to feel repulsive.

Ouyang Zhenhua’s development in the entertainment industry has not been smooth sailing. As a newcomer, he used to play the role of a dragon suit for a long time. Because of his fierce appearance, he often played villains such as bandits. Ouyang Zhenhua during this period can be described as ill-fated, and he was almost accidentally injured by the real police during the filming process. Fortunately, the crew explained the situation in time to avoid misunderstandings. At the same time, Ouyang Zhenhua’s friend Zhou Xingchi gradually emerged during the same period, transforming from a dragon suit to a male lead. In comparison, Ouyang Zhenhua’s fate seems quite bumpy.

However, Ouyang Zhenhua was not discouraged by this. He asked a friend for advice on how to change his fortune, and the friend suggested that he follow Wu Zhenyu and change his name for transfer. Ouyang Zhenhua followed the advice and changed his original name Ouyang Yaoquan to Ouyang Zhenhua, and indeed his fortune improved. Since then, his works have received widespread attention, and even became a guarantee of audience ratings for a while. However, the good luck did not last long. Ouyang Zhenhua encountered an accident while shooting the film and found that there were serious problems with the script, which led to the need to reshoot. This experience made him deeply regret it, and he will be more cautious when shooting works in the future.

The "Forensic Pioneer" series is undoubtedly the pinnacle of Ouyang Zhenhua’s fortune. The TV series has gained high attention in both Hong Kong and mainland China, and became a masterpiece of the year. However, when "Forensic Pioneer 4" was released, Ouyang Zhenhua failed to continue to star, which made him feel regretful. It is reported that Ouyang Zhenhua once reported the situation to his superiors due to a conflict with Lin Qian, which caused Le Yiling’s dissatisfaction and eventually caused him to lose an important role. Today, Ouyang Zhenhua can no longer continue the glory of "Forensic Pioneer", which makes people sigh at the impermanence of fate.

Despite the twists and turns of life, Ouyang Zhenhua still maintains an optimistic attitude and spends quality time with his wife. His wife, a former daughter of Stanley Ho, took the initiative to pursue him because of her admiration for his qualities, and the relationship between the two has been stable. Ouyang Zhenhua always has the support and encouragement of his wife in the face of difficulties, which is also a key factor in his ability to get through difficulties.
