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.

　　[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".

　　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.
