Add some color to low-key security Volvo S40 static experience

  [car home Experience] If you know anything about cars, when you hear the brand Volvo, what words will flash in your mind for the first time? Safe? Northern Europe? Keep a low profile? Taste? No matter what word crosses your eyes, I believe it will not be a description of sports, fashion and fashion. Yes, Volvo has always been a brand famous for its commitment to automobile safety technology. It comes from Sweden in northern Europe, but now it belongs to Ford, and its impression has always been low-key, unobtrusive and not so eye-catching. However, today’s red Volvo S40 may break your old impression.






  Note: The model we experienced this time is Volvo S40 2.4i Zia version, which may be different from other models in terms of color, parameters and configuration.





Appearance-at first glance, it is better to look carefully.


  S40 is a compact model, which comes from Ford C1 platform. As many people know, the products of this platform include Focus and Mazda 3. The other two models are well-known for their manipulation and sports, and they are all the rage among young people. What about S40?


  At first glance, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this is a red S40. This is not because I am a woman, so I like red, but because although almost all models will have red without exception, not all cars can look good in red. And I like the red color of this Volvo S40 very much, maybe it just fits my age and aesthetics.

  At first glance, the front of S40 is straight and restrained, with simple lines, not very streamlined and round, and not very tough and masculine. The chrome-plated upper intake is not as exaggerated as the popular "big mouth", and the logo of "VOLVO" stands calmly in the middle, as if it is lacking. But just like the "second-eye beauty", after a few more eyes, you can find S40’s character from various details.

  Two headlights with black edges are as bright and angry as the eyes of a "gourd doll", and the flat and ultra-wide lower air intake is slightly fierce. The most characteristic angle is from the front side. The headlights with black edges, the wide and flat lower grille with black, and the powerful engine compartment line are quoted to Fang Ping’s front face, which has a fierce lion’s head effect.


  The joints between the hood and headlights are even and detailed, and there are no obvious defects. The welding spots on the side of the door are symmetrically distributed, and the treatment effect is also fine.

  From the side, it can be found that the engine cabin line passes through the A-pillar all the way to the rear, which outlines a high waistline and dynamic shape, and directly intersects with the arc of the roof at the rear of the car, making the ending a little more movement and dexterity besides being angular and heavy.

  S40’s tail line is straight, and the two stepped taillights create a sense of integrity with angular edges, which is also surrounded by a circle of black borders. Because there are no tiny lines and no excessive intersections and overlaps, the whole tail shape is quite simple, and the broad protrusions make the layers distinct. If the plump and rounded hip design of the car please men, perhaps the style like S40 can win the love of female consumers.


Home of the car


  Generally speaking, the appearance of Volvo S40 left me with a unique impression. It is angular but not too straightforward, with personality but not very ostentatious, passionate but restrained, impulsive but secretly hidden.


Interior-pure black interior+suspended center console


  This red S40 2.4i Zia version is matched with a pure black interior, instead of gray or beige, which is always used in household models. The visual effect brought by the black interior is first of all a cool and sporty feeling, which is easy to arouse people’s desire to drive and control, unlike the light gray or beige interior, which will make people relax and bring a soothing and fresh feeling. From this perspective, S40 still takes more care of the individual needs of young consumers.

  The steering wheel wrapped in leather is moderate in size, and the fineness and friction of leather are also very close. The multi-function keys on the left side of the steering wheel are used to operate cruise control, while the right side controls entertainment information, such as radio and CD.

  The style of the dashboard is Volvo’s simple style, which looks only clear and easy to identify during the day, but the effect of luminous is still quite beautiful.


  S40 has a well-known bright spot, that is, its floating center console. In recent years, with the popularity of various digital products such as thin and light mobile phones, I believe that this beautiful and lightweight center console made of matt metal panels can bring many young people a sense of satisfaction with fashion and scientific and technological effects.


Home of the car


  There are four large knobs on the center console, which are used to control the audio and air conditioning, and the buttons are relatively small. From the perspective of the fineness of workmanship, we can’t help but draw a conclusion that we get what we pay for. Although the models developed on the same platform, it is obvious that Volvo S40’s internal material selection and workmanship level are far better than those of Fox and Mazda 3.


Home of the car


  The keyhole is designed at the lower left of the air-conditioning outlet above the center console. The multi-function display screen has a relatively small area and displays conventional information such as air conditioning, sound and time. What is unsatisfactory is that the information display is actually in English. However, the adjustment of air-conditioning blowing mode is to separate a portrait to indicate that the style is more intuitive and novel.


Home of the car


  The exterior rearview mirror can be adjusted electrically. If you want to fold it away, you need to press the L and R keys at the same time. The shape of the handbrake is also unique, and it also has a floating effect.


Home of the car


  The cosmetic mirror on the sun visor is believed to be very popular with ladies. Both sides of the mirror are equipped with lighting, which makes the light sufficient and uniform, and the area of the mirror is also large, which is not as big as a matchbox on some models, and its practicality is still relatively high.


Space-not bad for a compact car.


  The body size of Volvo S40 is 4476×1770×1454mm, which is smaller in length, width and height than sedan Focus’s 4480×1840×1500mm, but the wheelbase of 2640mm is the same as that of Focus and Mazda 3. In the actual experience, we also feel that its internal space is still good.

  Although S40 takes simplicity as its concept, there is no shortage of humanized design in the interior space, which is quite considerate. In addition to the conventional glove box, the storage compartment inside the car and the storage bag at the back of the front seat, there are elastic small storage bags at the front edges of the front and rear seats. Although the volume of the glove box is not very large, it is equipped with anti-skid pads to prevent the goods in the box from rolling and causing damage when the vehicle is driving.

  In order not to waste space, a shallow storage compartment is set behind the suspended center console, but only some flat items can be placed, otherwise it will shake when driving. The biggest disadvantage is that the storage compartment inside the door is small and there is no special glasses case.


  Although the S40 looks like a four-door hatchback, in fact, its short tail is not integrated, the trunk is still opened separately, and the floor in the trunk is flat and the area is not small.

  It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the electric adjustment function mentioned above, the front passenger’s seat can also be tilted forward, and with the rear seat that can be tilted 4 minutes on the right side, it can create an access road for carrying extra-long strip items, which is unique and valuable in design. Unfortunately, after our efforts, because the front headrest can’t be adjusted, the front passenger seat is adjusted to the rearmost position, and the headrest will still be stuck in the glove box after the chair back is put down, and it can’t be completely flat.

  In terms of driving space, we found a male editor with a height of 178CM and a weight of 75KG to demonstrate, and found that the front head space of S40 is quite abundant, and the performance of the rear leg space is OK, but the head space in the rear row is slightly cramped. If it is a tall man with a height of more than 180CM, it may feel a little oppressive. After all, it is only a compact car, and objectively speaking, the space performance is normal, reasonable and better.


Seat-lumbar adjustment is influenced by the height of the seat, which is more suitable for women.


  The driver’s seat and the driver’s seat are all electric 8-way adjustment and manual lumbar support adjustment. The driver’s seat has three sets of memory functions. As mentioned earlier, the driving space of S40 is not bad, but it must be mentioned that the length of the seat cushion is sacrificed to a certain extent. After our actual measurement, the depth of the front and rear cushions is 480mm, which is shorter than that of the front seats of general compact cars. Although the shape of the seat is very good, it is very suitable for women to ride, but if it is changed to men, the front edge of the seat cushion is designed as a sofa-like edge, which will just be supported in the middle of the thigh, and it feels very uncomfortable.

  The adjustment knobs of manual lumbar support are located on both sides of the seat. If the driver or passenger is male, the seat will not be adjusted too high, and this knob will be sandwiched between the seat and the central armrest, which is extremely inconvenient to operate. However, if the driver or passenger is female, the seat will be adjusted to ensure sufficient sight. At this time, the adjustment of the lumbar support is relatively convenient, and the operation of turning around and twisting the arm is also more difficult for the fatter person.

  S40’s leather seat leather is good, which makes people feel comfortable. I believe Volvo, which has always advocated car safety, has also spent a lot of thought on the seat design. The front headrest is fixed and cannot be adjusted, but the height and angle are ideal, which can suit the riding posture of most people. The height of the rear headrest can be adjusted vertically, and it can also be pulled out and removed.


other


  The 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine is in-line with 5 cylinders, and it is matched with a five-speed manual/automatic geartronic gearbox, which has an adaptive speed change mode, can automatically adapt to the driver’s driving style, and has a good stable output.


Home of the car


  The maximum power of 2.4i engine appears at 6000rpm, and it can also provide up to 170 horsepower. At 4400 rpm, the output torque reaches 230Nm. Such data will not be too laborious to push a body like S40.


Home of the car


  When the engine compartment cover of S40 is opened, it is found that besides the normal sound insulation cotton, there is also an air duct leading from the air inlet to the battery. It seems that it should be used to cool the battery, but we don’t understand why it is designed like this for the time being. Later, we will contact Volvo to consult about the purpose of this design and give you a definite answer.


  There are as many as 8 airbags in the whole vehicle, which can automatically control the inflation ratio and explosion speed according to the impact force, thus avoiding the secondary injury caused by airbags. WHIPS head and neck safety protection system can automatically lift the headrest when a high-speed rear-end collision occurs, and disperse the huge impact force generated during the collision to reduce the damage to the head, neck and spine of the occupants.


  In addition, in order to reserve enough impact buffer zone, VOLVO not only greatly reduced the load of the self-designed miniaturized transverse engine, but also adopted a more compact engine compartment layout, and even the collapse route of the battery was arranged in advance during the collision, so it can minimize the damage to the occupants in the car during the collision.


  Conclusion:In fact, the price of Volvo S40 far exceeds that of ordinary compact cars, which makes it not a family car that most ordinary families can afford. However, through this static experience, we can see that Volvo not only insists on the safety concept advocated, but also makes some adjustments in vehicle design. At least S40 can make people feel its fashion and modernity from the outside to the inside. From the aspects of exterior and interior, technical content, safety performance and configuration, S40 is suitable for those friends who have unique tastes and do not blindly pursue large size and large space and earn a good income.


  After watching the static experience of Volvo S40, you must want to know more about its handling performance in actual driving. Don’t argue, the evaluation article of S40 will be presented by the evaluation team of car home this Thursday. Be sure to watch it on time!

Zero acceleration 9.1s//measured cruising range over 500km Depth test BYD Qin PLUS EV

Easy car original: With a budget of about 150,000 yuan, I plan to buy a pure electric vehicle with a pure electric cruising range of 600km. Is there a good choice? If you only look at the book data, BYD is a good choice in this price range.166,800 yuan can have a 600km high cruising range version., the cost performance is quite high.

The appearance of Qin PLUS EV is quite small "Han", andEquipped with a more secure blade battery., the configuration is not low, compared with the previous Qin EV models, it can be said thatReduce the price and increase the allocationYes.

Although the cost performance is very high, what is the driving texture of Qin PLUS EV? Can the real cruising range reach 600km? With these questions, let’s have a test together.

New car highlights first look:

1. It is equipped with a front permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 135kW.measure with instruments0-100km/h acceleration time is 9.1s, and 100-0km/h braking distance is 38.2m..;

2. Power and chassis adjustment is mainly based on home comfort.Smooth and quiet brings more comfortable driving experience.;

3, fast charging speed to force, the actual measurement of Qin PLUS EV under comprehensive working conditionsReal pure electric cruising range can exceed 500km.;

4. Follow the family-style design style of BYD Longyan.Looks like a trumpet "".

The model we tested this time is the 2021 Qin PLUS EV 600km flagship model, which is the top model with a price of 166,800 yuan.

Permanent magnet synchronous motor mounted on top modelThe maximum power is 135kW and the maximum torque is 280 n m.The officially declared 0-50km/h acceleration time is 4 seconds.

The maximum power and torque of the permanent magnet synchronous motors equipped on the other three middle and low models are 100kW, 180N·m, and the 0-50km/h acceleration time is 5.5 seconds.

So what is its actual acceleration performance? First of all, let’s test its acceleration time of 0-100km/h and braking distance of 100-0 km/h.

Before the test, turn off the air conditioner, turn off the ESP body stability system and adjust the driving mode to SPORT mode. Finally measuredThe fastest acceleration time of Qin PLUS EV is 9.1 seconds., the bestThe braking performance is 38.2 meters..

As can be seen from the acceleration curve, during the acceleration process of Qin PLUS EV from 0 to 50 km/h, the response speed of the motor is faster, and the maximum acceleration can be reached soon after stepping on the switch. The final acceleration time of 0 to 50 km/h is 3.6 seconds, which is faster than the official data of 4 seconds.

After the maximum acceleration is maintained at 50km/h, it begins to decline, and the acceleration capacity of 50-100km/h in the second half also gradually decreases. However, during the whole rapid acceleration process, the power output is quite linear, and finally the speed exceeds 100km/h in 9.1 seconds.

Qin PLUS EV’s braking front section is sensitive, and the whole braking process is quite linear and stable, which can give us enough confidence. After many tests, the best braking distance is 38.2 meters, which can basically be controlled within 39 meters, and the performance is quite good.

Next, let’s talk about the driving experience of Qin PLUS EV. As a new energy family car, the overall adjustment of Qin PLUS EV is not surprising.Give priority to comfort.

Although the appearance is similar to BYD’s flagship model Han, the actual test drive is two completely different styles. Qin PLUS EV will not give us a passionate acceleration experience like Han.Smooth and comfortableIs the direction it is striving for.

Although the motor power of Qin PLUS EV with a maximum power of 135kW is not particularly abundant, it is more than enough to meet the needs of daily use.

At the beginning, the dynamic response of Qin PLUS EV will not be particularly positive. Especially in ECO mode, the initial response of the switch will be "lazy", and the acceleration process will be gentle, which will bring about the speed increase in no hurry.A relatively comfortable and stable driving experience is also valued by consumers who pay attention to family cars, and it can also save some energy.

Of course, if you want to "go wild", you can switch to SPORT driving mode. In this mode, the switch of Qin PLUS EV will become more sensitive and the speed will climb much faster. Especially in the high-speed road conditions where overtaking is needed,Qin PLUS EV in SPORT mode will give us more confidence..

In SPORT mode, the acceleration ability is indeed improved, but the comfort and ride comfort are greatly reduced. When accelerating rapidly, it will bring a certain sense of dizziness to drivers and passengers. It is not recommended to use this driving mode for a long time.It is enough to recommend using ECO/NORMAL mode for daily driving, which can bring more comfortable driving experience.

Qin PLUS EV’s kinetic energy recovery system is divided intoStandard feedbackandGreater feedbackTwo levels, the power recovery under the standard feedback is moderate, and the vehicle can slowly brake linearly and smoothly after releasing the switch.

In the larger feedback mode, there will be more energy recovery, but the disadvantage is that there will be some drag and drop, and the comfort will be reduced.

In terms of steering strength, Qin PLUS EV followsSteering style of family car with low speed, light weight and high speed.It is relatively flexible and light to drive. However, the steering virtual position still exists, so you need to be extra careful when the speed is fast and cornering, and try to slow down as much as possible.

Qin PLUS EV’s chassis suspension is also a comfortable adjustment style.Tougher suspension can well filter out the small bumps on the road.. However, in the face of speed bumps or potholes, you can still obviously feel the body jumping up and down, which still needs improvement.

In terms of NVH, Qin PLUS EV has no influence of engine noise, and the quietness of the whole vehicle is quite excellent when driving at low speed. However, when the speed exceeds 80km/h, tire noise and wind noise are more obvious, but the whole is still within the acceptable range.

In order to understand the noise situation of Qin PLUS EV more intuitively, we also tested its noise level in the car of 40-120 km/h.

The test results show that the noise decibel value of Qin PLUS EV in each speed segment is well controlled. The noise in the 40km/h car is 55.4 decibels, and the noise at the high speed of 120km/h is 66.2 decibels.

Here, for example, the noise value of the computer mainframe is generally about 55 decibels, while the voice of two people chatting and talking at a distance of one meter face to face is generally about 60 decibels. It can be seen that the noise decibel value data of Qin PLUS EV is still good.

After the overall test drive experience, power and acceleration are obviously not the strengths of Qin PLUS EV, and the word sports is basically irrelevant to it, giving us more.A smooth and comfortable driving experience.Is the direction it is striving for.

After talking about the driving experience, let’s test the actual cruising range of Qin PLUS EV, and test it in the daily commuting environment to see if its real pure electric cruising range can satisfy us.

Before starting the test, we need to fully charge Qin PLUS EV. The 600km version is equipped with a capacity of71.7kWh blade battery, the official declared fast charge.It only takes 30 minutes to charge the battery from 30% to 80%..

Before charging, Qin PLUS EV has 36% remaining power, and the dashboard shows that it takes 52 minutes to fully charge.It took 68 minutes to fully charge., charging power up to 60kW. If you start charging from 0%, you can fill it in less than two hours, and the charging efficiency is still relatively high.

In this endurance test, we mainly focus on the urban traffic congestion near Pearl River New Town, Xinguang Expressway and Nansha Port Expressway, and the ratio of urban traffic, expressway and expressway is basically 1:1:1.

When the Qin PLUS EV is fully charged, it is already 19 o’clock in the evening, which is at the peak of work in Guangzhou.At full charge, the remaining cruising range of Qin PLUS EV is 600km..

Before starting the test, I reset the dashboard mileage 1 and energy consumption curve chart to zero. The air conditioning temperature is set at 24℃, and the air volume is in second gear.

Choose NORMAL driving mode, choose larger feedback mode with strong energy feedback, and then start the test. However, I was the only one in the car during the test, and I was basically in no-load condition.

Depart from Tianhe Stadium, go to and from Xinguang Expressway, pass through Guangzhou Grand Theatre and Central Lake Park of University Town, and finally reach Nansha. The test is about 100km one-way, and the feedback mode is maintained throughout, mainly in ECO mode, but the driving mode will be switched according to the road conditions. After arriving at the destination, I will go back to work in the morning rush hour the next day.

In the end, I drove the Qin PLUS EV for a total of 205.5km, with an average speed of 38km/h, which consumed 41% of the electricity. The table shows that the remaining cruising range is 354km, which is 246km away.

At this point, the energy consumption curveThe average power consumption in the last 50 kilometers is 12.9 kW h/100 km., andThe actual average power consumption should be 14.3 kW h/100 km..

Under comprehensive working conditions,The ratio of power failure is about 1:1.197., which is equivalent to the cruising range of 1.197km for every 1km I drive Qin PLUS EV.

Under the comprehensive working conditions close to the daily car environment, convert it.The real cruising range of Qin PLUS EV is 501km.Of course, this is already a very good performance.

If you drive in the whole ECO mode and drive until the power is completely consumed,Its real cruising range is over 520km, which is no problem at all.. Calculated by commuting 60km to and from work every day,Just charge it once a week.

  Insiders said that IThe automobile market will gradually enter a period of steady growth, from incremental market to stock market, and the market competition will be further intensified. In this context, pricing will become an important factor in whether it can become an explosive model.

  In-depth self-research of key technologies

  Lei Jun said that Xiaomi insisted on starting from the underlying core technology, insisting on positive research and development, and deep self-research on key tracks. Xiaomi Automobile invested more than 10 billion yuan in the first phase of R&D, and the R&D team has more than 3,400 engineers. Among them, there are thousands of top technical experts at home and abroad in key fields.

  In the field of intelligent driving, Xiaomi released three key technologies: adaptive zoom BEV technology, large road model and super-resolution occupation network technology. Lei Jun said that Xiaomi’s total investment in the first phase of full-stack self-developed intelligent driving technology has reached 3.3 billion yuan, and now it has increased to 4.7 billion yuan, with more than 200 test vehicles and a test mileage of more than 10 million kilometers. Intelligent driving is the track that Xiaomi focuses on, and the goal is to enter the first camp in the industry in 2024.

  Intelligent driving has become an important track for the automobile industry. PG One, director of the Industrial Policy Research Institute (Advanced Manufacturing Center) of CCID Research Institute, said,Cars andThe tightness of the combination is further improved.

  Lei Jun introduced that Xiaomi already has a complete intelligent manufacturing strength of automobile industry. existOn the other hand, Xiaomi released the Super HyperEngine V8s with a speed of 27200rpm, which is expected to be put on the train in 2025. At the same time, Xiaomi pre-researched the next generation of super, innovative laser winding rotor technology, and successfully broke through 35000rpm in the laboratory stage.

In addition, Xiaomi has independently developed "9100t super large die-casting cluster" and die-casting alloy material "Titan alloy".

  Building a closed loop of "human-vehicle-home ecology"

  Lei Jun introduced that the first model of Xiaomi Automobile has achieved small-scale mass production, and a large number of verification tests are being carried out to create a beautiful, easy-to-open, comfortable and safe mobile smart space.

  Xiaomi’s first car was named XIAOMI SU7, and it was positioned as a "C-class high-performance eco-technology car", offering three colors of bay blue, elegant gray and olive green.

It is estimated that the annual sales of new millet cars will reach 70,000-80,000 units.

Li Jiaqi sold out, but Hua Xizi plummeted by 90%

Hua xizi was attacked by traffic. 

On the live broadcast in Li Jiaqi, when consumers complained that a 79 yuan eyebrow pencil with Huaxizi was too expensive, Li Jiaqi did not introduce the quality of the product, but directly asked the consumers, "Has the salary increased? Have you worked hard? " In this sentence, Li Jiaqi and Hua Xizi were pushed to the forefront. 

Originally, everyone thought that Li Jiaqi was getting cold. To everyone’s surprise, Li Jiaqi didn’t get cold, and Huaxizi was miserable. When Li Jiaqi found out that he had said something wrong, he cried and apologized in the live broadcast room. After winning a great wave of sympathy, he immediately started to bring goods. On the hot search of public opinion on Li Jiaqi has also been divided into two factions, who believe that it is just a wrong sentence, and should not be harsh on Li Jiaqi. Moreover, 79 yuan’s eyebrow pencil is not expensive at all. While explaining to Li Jiaqi, these people are more supportive of Li Jiaqi. 

The other school thinks, isn’t it just an anchor with goods? When you’re full, you smash the pot? After making money from the poor, do you blame the poor for not working hard? These people, on the other hand, resolutely shed their powder and stopped shopping in the live broadcast room in Li Jiaqi. From the perspective of Internet public opinion, this incident has also pushed Li Jiaqi, which has been silent for a long time, to the top of traffic. 

This is just like Simba. Whenever there is a public opinion dispute, Simba can always turn decay into magic, making the iron powder loyal to him more iron, selling the goods at all and earning more. In the advertising circle, this is called exposure. As long as the exposure is large enough and how many people hate you, how many people will like you. When half the people in the whole network were cursing Li Jiaqi, the other half were shopping in the live broadcast room in Li Jiaqi.

According to the data, Li Jiaqi lost more than 1 million powder, but the live broadcast room sold better. Against the cusp of public opinion, Li Jiaqi continued to bring goods, and 50,000 single goods were robbed in only 3 seconds, which was impossible to buy at all. Commodities ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 are basically sold out in one second. This horrible ability to bring goods makes other anchors with goods far behind, which is far ahead. 

Those who scold Li Jiaqi and those who support Li Jiaqi are completely different groups. As the heat continues to rise, Li Jiaqi has lost millions of old powder, but it has also added a huge amount of new powder, and what remains is the hardcore fans of iron powder. For a super anchor, he is not afraid of controversy, and he is afraid that no one will pay attention. What really suffered from Waterloo was Hua Xizi, a domestic beauty brand deeply bound to Li Jiaqi. 

Hua Xizi was pulled out, just a Japanese product wearing a China brand coat. Hua Xizi’s brand is from China, but the foundry is Japanese. Even though China workers are employed, the foundry is set up in China, but it is actually run by Japanese. This makes many consumers spontaneously resist Hua Xizi. 

According to cicada mother’s data, Huaxizi’s sales in Tik Tok platform in August exceeded 100 million, ranking fourth among beauty and skin care brands. After entering September, the daily sales of Huaxi’s official flagship store is also about 1-2.5 million yuan. However, after the eyebrow pencil incident in Li Jiaqi, the daily sales of the official flagship store of Huaxizi plummeted by more than 90% to less than 100,000 yuan. But on September 7th, Hua Xizi’s sales in Tik Tok exceeded 10 million yuan a day. This kind of blow is not heavy. 

In fact, Hua Xizi is just a new brand of domestic beauty, which was established in 2017. Since its inception, it has been deeply bound with Li Jiaqi. How deep is this binding? In Li Jiaqi’s words: "Hua Xizi almost gave himself to me." 

In the beauty industry, marketing expenses have always been high. In other words, whoever can master the flow can take away the excess marketing expenses. According to public reports, Hua Xizi spends as much as 20 million yuan on marketing in the live broadcast room in Li Jiaqi every month. Hua Xizi almost bet his brand money on Li Jiaqi. Judging from the cooperation in the past five years, both sides are happy. Li Jiaqi made money, and Hua Xizi also exerted brand influence, ranking among the domestic beauty brands in China, and being able to stand on the same container as international beauty brands. 

You can succeed in Li Jiaqi and lose in Li Jiaqi. After the sales plummeted, Hua Xizi even published an outrageous "open letter". 

In this open letter, Hua Xizi didn’t mention eyebrow pencil or Li Jiaqi. On the contrary, in the letter, Hua Xizi also implanted his own brand vision: "promoting the beauty of the East and casting a century-old national makeup". Where is this to calm public opinion? This is clearly with the help of public opinion, and then give Hua Xizi a wave of free brand advertisements. Consumers did not see Hua Xizi’s sincerity, but saw Hua Xizi’s arrogance. 

The publication of this letter also made Hua Xizi’s public relations team resign collectively. Because public relations people don’t want to carry this pot and regard it as a shame in their careers, they just want to leave this wrong place and find the next owner quickly. 

Due to the collective resignation of public relations, Hua Xizi posted a new recruitment announcement, with an annual salary of 500,000-600,000, and a high salary for talents. It is worthy of being a domestic beauty head brand, and Hua Xizi is really willing to spend money. Whether Hua Xizi can reverse public opinion depends on whether there are great talents from heaven.

The captain agrees with Li Jiaqi: "It is not easy to make domestic brands." It’s not easy for Li Jiaqi or Hua Xizi, but those genuine domestic products that have been rooted in China for decades. 

Far ahead of Bluetooth! China people’s own "star flash" has come: 60% energy consumption, 6 times speed and 1/30 time delay.

Bluetooth technology was born in 1994 and was invented by Ericsson. Its original purpose was to make wireless headphones possible through wireless audio transmission.

In the past more than 20 years, Bluetooth is the most mainstream short-range wireless communication technology, which is widely used in mobile phones, headphones, handles, keyboards and other devices.

However, Bluetooth technology also has many inherent shortcomings.

For example, the delay of human-computer interaction devices such as Bluetooth mouse and handle, the audio quality and stability of Bluetooth headset, and the number of intelligent Bluetooth networking devices in the whole house are not satisfactory.

.



So, China people’s own "NearLink" came!

On August 4th, at the Huawei Developers Conference HDC023, Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei Terminal BG, announced that,

Huawei will introduce Starshine NearLink into HarmonyOS’s ecology.

What are the advantages of Star Flash over Bluetooth?

It is understood that Star Flash is a new generation of short-range wireless connection technology native to China. It is the first time that China’s communication industry has innovatively applied the experience and technology accumulated from following to leading the world for more than 30 years in the field of short-range wireless connection, which is another important milestone for China’s scientific and technological self-reliance.

Fast Science and Technology learned that in 2020, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology took the lead in formulating the near field communication standard for Star Flash.

In September 2020, the Star Flash Alliance was formally established. It only took more than two years from the official start of standardization work to the first commercial use, and it became the fastest-growing short-range wireless technology in history.

Flash-related technicians said that Star Flash is to solve the demand that WiFi and Bluetooth can’t meet the ultimate experience such as delay and reliability in some subdivided scenarios of smart terminals and smart homes, rather than subverting WiFi and Bluetooth.

In terms of technical advantages,

Star flash has the advantages of low delay, high speed, high concurrency, high reliability, anti-interference and precise positioning.

Star Flash only uses 60% energy consumption of Bluetooth, and it can reach 6 times speed, and the transmission delay is only 1/30.

Star Flash can improve the air interface delay of e-sports mouse from millisecond level to microsecond level. In addition, with its high bandwidth and anti-interference ability, lossless audio that was difficult to achieve in the past with Bluetooth headset becomes a reality. In the smart travel scene, the positioning accuracy of Star Flash digital car keys has changed from meter level to decimeter level.

It is reported that,

As a member of the Star Flash Alliance, Huawei has contributed its wireless communication experience and technology precipitation for more than 30 years to the Star Flash standard.

For the first time, the 5G technology contributed by Huawei, such as Polar code, was shortened and made great contributions.

15 days of "coming back from the dead" in Viya live broadcast room

Image source @ vision china

Text | Xiaguang Society, Author | Guo Zhaochuan, Editor | Ma Ji

Since its comeback on February 12th, the new account "Bee Surprise Club", which is composed of the original Viya "Help Broadcast Group", has been broadcast live for 15 days. Until last night, the viewing traffic of the new account could still reach 6.5386 million.

Viya’s old fans know that the connection between this newly opened live account and the original Viya live room is inextricably linked:

Viya’s official subscription number is "Viya Surprise Club", while her husband Dong Haifeng’s fan base is called "Bees". Besides, all five people in the "Bee Surprise Club" are former Viya’s helpers and models, and the supply chain and product selection still continue the original idea of Viya’s live broadcast room.

The successful launch of "Bee Surprise Club" means that the live delivery team in Viya "came back from the dead" after it was suspended for tax evasion in December last year.

Although Viya didn’t appear in front of the camera, as the public speculated, the successful test of his broadcast team showed that the "depersonalization" of live broadcast with goods would become more and more distinct in the future.

The characteristics of relying on personal charm to bring goods will gradually weaken in the future, while the supply chain, product selection and business of the live broadcast company ….. are like a precision machine, supporting the live broadcast room to be lively again.

After Viya, perhaps no studio will be the only one, and more and more studios will have the shadow of the original live broadcast with goods.

Among the six members of the "Bee Family", Hao Hao, Kai Zi and Cai Fa used to help broadcast in the live studio in Viya, while two of the three girls, Xiao Han and Duo Duo, used to be models in the live studio in Viya.

On the social media account of Bee Surprise, the title of the first live broadcast notice list was labeled "We are back with the joy of live broadcast". The anchor Hao Hao’s testimony is even more straightforward: "These two days have returned to the previous rhythm of life."

Although they call themselves "small teams working hard to start businesses" in the live broadcast, there is no doubt that there was a shadow of Viya team behind them. After the broadcast, fans showed "You’re back" one after another, indicating that everyone knows the connection between this new account and Viya.

Not long ago, there were rumors that "Viya will return as soon as March this year". According to reports, Viya’s original Taobao account will be resumed, and its name and fans will not change. When the news came out, it was strongly opposed by public opinion.

Compared with the comeback of VIA herself, the fans’ attitude towards the "bee family" is relatively tolerant:

"She made a mistake and accepted the punishment herself. Can employees not work?"

"It’s just a migrant worker. Isn’t it still broadcast by changing the company name?"

Since the launch of the new team on February 12, the live data has also been quite eye-catching — — Within a few hours of broadcasting, 900,000 people poured into the studio. The first live broadcast of the new team received a cumulative broadcast volume of 1.186 million, and then the broadcast volume climbed all the way, breaking through 10 million on the fifth day. After February 20, the data can still be maintained at around 5 million to 7 million, which has surpassed the general traditional waist anchor.

The notice about the live broadcast of the "Bee Surprise Club" with goods, like the previous first-line anchor notice, has attracted much attention from consumers.

The same strategy is also used by the Sydney team.

After witnessing the re-emergence of the "bee family", the Sydney team also "awakened" one after another.

On February 16th, four days after the launch of "Bee Surprise Club", the original live broadcast room "Guangguang is coming" in Sydney was launched. The first live broadcast received 1.866 million broadcast data, and then climbed to the highest 4.975 million broadcast.

Soon after, "Guangguang is coming" was renamed as "Mushrooms are coming", which made many regular guests in the live broadcast feel that it was "following suit" with the Viya team. The name "Bee Surprise Club" comes from Viya’s husband Dong Haifeng, while Sydney’s husband is nicknamed "Aunt". The so-called "mushrooms" and "bees" actually come from the same routine.

However, in contrast, the water test here in Sydney is more "bold". At one time, Sydney’s husband appeared directly on his own, while Viya and the company were more cautious. The more familiar help-broadcast girl did not appear, and the anchors currently selected were not directly related to his family.

Some people take the current live broadcast preview list of Taobao to reveal the current Taobao head anchor situation:

The live broadcast room in Li Jiaqi stands out; Followed by "mushrooms come" with the shadow of the former Sydney team; The "Bee Surprise Club" bears the imprint of the former Viya team. Going around for a long time, the head anchor Jiangshan is still controlled by the same group of people.

No wonder many viewers speculated that the original head anchor was retreating behind the scenes. Relying on the old team to continue the delivery business is the real trend and effective strategy in the field of live delivery.

A team that used to be able to sell rockets live will not be devastated by someone’s fall.

At the end of last year, when Sydney and Viya stopped broadcasting one after another due to tax problems, everyone almost only paid attention to their personal and live conditions. But in fact,Whether it is Viya or Sydney, or even a head anchor with the ability to carry goods on any platform, there is a company machine with precise operation behind it.

Sydney once sent many employees severance letters and held a "clearance sale" in a park in Hangzhou. Viya’s team never actually disbanded. After Viya stopped broadcasting in December last year, it only gave the live broadcast team a week off, and then began to serve other anchors.

At first, Viya’s company showed the characteristics of a small family workshop. Viya’s husband and brother both hold important positions in the company. My younger brother, Huang Tao, has been the CEO of the company since he was a temporary product selection person in a small team. Viya’s original assistant, Qi Er, is her own sister-in-law.

However, with the expansion of the company’s scale, Qianxun (the company behind Viya) has also realized the transformation from a small family workshop to a large Internet company. The company introduced the flower name system of Internet companies, such as Viya’s younger brother Huang Tao, whose more widely known name is actually his flower name "Ollie".

Before the tax problem broke out,The work intensity of Hangzhou Qianxun employees is no less than that of any Internet company.. It is normal to get off work after 10 o’clock every night, and the business departments are all on a weekly rest system. It is relatively relaxed for the financial and administrative employees to implement "big and small weeks". In addition to the anchor, assistant broadcaster and model in front of the camera, the company also has various support departments such as China Merchants Selection Department. In the heyday of Viya Company, there were more than 40 people in the investment team alone, and the product selection work was subdivided into more than a dozen vertical lines, which were completed by more than 300 people.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Viya can become a "live broadcast sister with goods" is not only because of her own fan appeal, but because she can get lower discounts on goods by virtue of intensive advantages such as supply chain and quality control. Her team even mentioned in an earlier interview that "personal charm comes last".

Even if "Viya is gone", as long as you can get the same discount from merchants with goods, practice has proved that you can really attract some fans who simply pay attention to the cost performance of goods.The popularity of "Bee Surprise Club" is proof of this point. As a new account with no fan base, it exploded as soon as it was launched, which is closely related to the operation and accumulation of the whole company in the past six years.

From the perspective of social values, it seems that Viya’s team-led live broadcast with goods should not be advocated. Whether in front of the stage or behind the scenes, public figures with moral defects such as "tax evasion" should not be acquiesced to "make a fortune in silence". But from another point of view, Viya and Li Jiaqi are just the first people to eat crabs in the business model of live broadcast with goods.

Their team has thoroughly understood the internal logic of algorithm, flow, supply chain, product selection, communication and pricing, and made it more and more professional.Although there are many problems in the industry due to lack of supervision and other factors in the early stage, as the development of the whole track matures, the industry dividend will be more even.

Li Jiaqi once said frankly in an interview: "Next year is the peak of the whole industry", and then the peak passed.However, "after the peak period of the industry" does not mean that the live broadcast has turned off..

In fact, the competition of the whole live broadcast track is even more fierce. Judging from the live broadcast platform, not only Taobao and other e-commerce platforms, but also the interest e-commerce live broadcast of short video platforms and the live broadcast of second-hand trading platforms have no intention of "turning off".

The considerable user scale also proves this point. According to the data of the 48th Statistical Report on the Development of Internet in China, as of June 2021, the number of users of e-commerce live broadcast in China has reached 384 million, up 75.24 million year-on-year, accounting for 38.0% of the total number of Internet users, and this number is still rising. In other words, consumers’ demand and interest in live delivery is actually not low.

From the perspective of the anchor with goods, although the industry has become more standardized, the profit of live broadcast is still considerable. The commission of head anchor food department store products is basically above 10%, and the commission of beauty products can reach 5% to 8%. But the difference is that the super-high profit and bargaining power are no longer only gathered in the hands of the head anchor. Some insiders said, "Taobao will no longer support new head anchors."

Since January of this year, Taobao has issued a series of regulations to strengthen the support and traffic inclination of mid-waist anchors, and more anchors will receive live broadcast bonus. In the past, the situation of "one family is the only one" or "several families are the only ones" in the live broadcast of the anchor with goods on the head changed. Coupled with the popularity of self-broadcast live broadcast rooms of commodity brands, it will be difficult to reproduce the dilemma of ultra-high commission and product selection, and the market will enter a stage of benign competition.

At the same time, the live broadcast track with goods will become more professional. This means that anchors lacking complete team planning and product categories will be quickly iterated."Anyone can bring goods live" and "Star Part-time Bring Goods" will get very limited bonuses.

Take Yu Minhong, who was recently exposed as a "failed studio", as an example.

On December 28th last year, New Oriental announced the establishment of "Oriental Selection" and entered the live broadcast with goods. After the live broadcast of the transformation of New Oriental, the sales in two months was only 4.5 million yuan, and the average single-game sales was only 170,000 yuan. Compared with Luo Yonghao’s live broadcast with sales of hundreds of millions a night, the data of New Oriental’s transformation with goods is really bad.

Is it because Yu Minhong’s personal appeal is not as good as that of several small promoters and models in Viya and Sydney?

Simply from the anchor quality, the anchor with goods in New Oriental really lacks the professionalism nurtured by Viya and Sydney for a long time, not to mention the professional experience in product selection and supply chain cooperation.

The selection of live broadcast anchor in the East is the former teacher selected by New Oriental through internal recruitment. Although the teachers in New Oriental are really "eloquent", the fact that they can adjust the classroom atmosphere does not mean that they have a set of products to introduce. Many netizens say that "after watching the live broadcast, they feel not very interesting".

In fact, even a few anchors from Viya’s team in Bee Surprise Club are inevitably criticized by netizens: "You criticize me, and a group of people explain it too messy", "The professional degree of commodity explanation is not as good as that of Viya" and so on, not to mention the non-professional anchors who have become monks halfway.

Moreover, although the maximum audience of "Bee Surprise Club" is considerable, it is still less than one tenth of the audience that Viya had earlier, which was more than 90 million. Although the live broadcast of the cargo track is still far from the flameout, it is even more difficult to enhance the influence of the live broadcast room even with the team foundation of the former head anchor.

Expose Xiaomi car to get production qualification! The first product will be launched in the first half of 2024.

For rice noodles, the progress of Xiaomi Automobile is the most concerned thing for everyone. In recent days, Xiaomi Automobile has indeed ushered in new news. On August 23rd, it was reported in Reuters that an informed source revealed that Xiaomi Automobile had been approved by the National Development and Reform Commission to produce electric vehicles, which marked a step closer to the production and off-line of Xiaomi Automobile. However, this news has not been officially confirmed by Xiaomi.

According to Tianyancha, Xiaomi Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. has registered the website domain name of "xiaomiev". At the same time, there are media reports that Xiaomi Automobile Factory has recently started the recruitment of workers, opened a number of positions such as painting operators and battery workshop operators, and is preparing to increase production in December.

Enterprises with new forces have solved the qualification problem of building cars, and they have succeeded in building cars. Many new forces have died early because they have not solved the problem of "birth certificate". Self-tourists are a living example.

It is not an easy task for an enterprise to build an electric vehicle. First, it needs to comply with the National Development and Reform Commission’s Management Regulations for Newly Built Pure Electric Passenger Cars, and at the same time, it needs to meet the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology’s Access Regulations for New Energy Vehicles. Because the "double qualifications" of new energy vehicles are extremely difficult to obtain, many new car-making forces choose OEM to solve the problem of car-making qualifications.

Once the qualification of building a car is finalized, Xiaomi Automobile will surely usher in rapid development. Earlier, Lei Jun also said that Xiaomi Automobile will be officially listed in the first half of 2024, and plans to produce about 100,000 electric vehicles in 2024.

Judging from the news of previous exposure, the first product of Xiaomi Automobile is expected to be equipped with 800V high-voltage fast charging. At the design level, Xiaomi’s first product will adopt the shape of a four-door coupe, and it will also be equipped with intelligent driving assistance hardware such as laser radar, which will make the car more competitive in the market. In terms of price, we predict that the price of Xiaomi’s first product will not be low. After all, there are configurations such as laser radar, so its price will be around 300,000.

Write it at the end

At the end of March, 2021, Lei Jun said that he was ready to build a car. Up to now, the Xiaomi automobile project has passed more than two years. Although the progress is not fast, once the production qualification problem is solved, I believe that the process of Xiaomi automobile will be faster. We also hope that the first product of Xiaomi Automobile can land as soon as possible, and expect Xiaomi Automobile to bring us more surprises.
