Following the "explosion" conference at the end of March, Xiaomi Automobile ushered in a traffic feast. At 16: 00 on April 18th, Lei Jun started the live broadcast on time at Beijing Xiaomi Automobile Delivery Center.

This is the first time that Lei Jun started a live broadcast for Xiaomi Automobile. Three years ago, when Lei Jun premiered in Tik Tok, it was the tenth anniversary of Xiaomi. He took products such as "Biography of Xiaomi", "Walk the Line" and Xiaomi 10 Extreme Commemorative Edition, and at the same time, he had a heart-to-heart chat with rice noodle friends.

This live broadcast has its own traffic, and the number of viewers quickly exceeded 100,000+,and the number of likes quickly exceeded 100 million. At the beginning of the live broadcast, viewers also sent gift special effects to Lei Jun, and later the gift-giving function was quickly turned off.

"Lei Jun’s legs are quite thin." "Raytheon, I’m coming!" "I also want to take a photo with Lei Jun", "Did Lei always grab Huawei Pura 70" and other comments, constantly refreshing, verifying everyone’s intimacy with Lei Jun.

"It is too early to talk about the success of Xiaomi Automobile"

"Xiaomi Automobile has been released for 20 days, and it is too early to talk about success." Lei Jun said during the live broadcast that Xiaomi SU7 was so hot that I was afraid every day. Under the public beta, every detail was looked at with a magnifying glass. Now I’m a little more nervous, because Xiaomi SU7 has held on to "One Million People in YEATION".

"Of course, Xiaomi is now a success in the first stage. The cycle of building a car is particularly long, and we need to continue to do it seriously. " Lei Jun said.

Whether before or after the release, the popularity of Xiaomi SU7 has remained high, which is not a small order of magnitude higher than that of other car companies. The latest data obtained by the reporter was as of April 3, when Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi Group, announced at the first delivery ceremony of Xiaomi SU7 that the number of Xiaomi cars had exceeded 100,000, and the number of locks had exceeded 40,000. This is a burst in the context of particularly fierce market competition faced by cars with a price range of 215,900-299,900.

In the experience center, Lei Jun introduced in the live broadcast. On the whole, for Xiaomi SU7, the favorite color of girls is Xiaguang purple, and the favorite color of boys is elegant gray; Xiaomi believes that the most cracked color is lava orange. "For the question of what color to choose, listen to your wife." Lei Jun quipped.

"It’s not good to compare me with Musk."

Because there are few live broadcasts, there are still some areas to be improved, such as the occasional echo of the microphone.

However, the live broadcast as a whole continued Lei Jun’s consistent "customer thinking" and cordial style. For example, in the delivery center, Lei Jun had a cordial conversation with the owner’s children and asked where to go to school; Ask the female car owner why she chose Xiaguang Purple; Ask the doctor what major the car owner is studying; Take the initiative to invite customers to take photos and so on.

Why is the proportion of female owners of Xiaomi Automobile high? Lei Jun said that on the one hand, the company has many female engineers; On the other hand, basic functions such as sun protection, storage and good-looking directly hit the pain points of female customers; In addition, many female car owners have used Mijia eco-chain products before and know something about Xiaomi.

During the live broadcast, Lei Jun answered the question "Why did Xiaomi build a car in three years?". He explained that Xiaomi had accumulated the foundation of intelligent manufacturing in the past, and Xiaomi’s R&D budget this year was 24 billion yuan, so it took three years to build a car instead of just three years.

Consistent with expectations, Lei Jun once again introduced innovative technologies such as Xiaomi Super Die Casting in the live broadcast, and introduced that there are hundreds of robots in the factory. Lei Jun revealed that in the future, he plans to open the Xiaomi factory to ordinary citizens step by step.

For the long delivery time, Lei Jun responded that Xiaomi’s preparation should refresh various records of domestic cars. The company has achieved the release and delivery, and the delivery is the quantity. The core problem is that the sales volume is 3-5 times higher than the company expected. "The company held a supplier meeting a few days ago, and the company will improve delivery step by step as soon as possible."

In the live broadcast, Lei Jun also refuted the identity of "the first man in Shuangwen". He said, "I am at the bottom of my life, and there is no cold 4 billion in Cary", "I have never won the college entrance examination" and so on. Lei Jun said frankly, "Many people say that I am a billionaire, and I have never counted (my own assets). Success in life depends not on cool writing, but on dreams, struggle and help from noble people. "

When talking about the benchmark Musk, Lei Jun responded, "Musk is a great entrepreneur. What I do with him is not exactly the same, so it is not easy to compare. But we have all helped popularize science and technology and promoted social progress. "

"Traffic Times" of Car Factory

Lei Jun emphasized in the live broadcast that Xiaomi can’t be treated as a car factory, but the whole ecology of people and cars, and the core is a technology company. However, Lei Jun’s marketing strategy for Xiaomi Automobile is even more talked about by the market.

As of today’s live broadcast, Lei Jun Tik Tok has more than 17.9 million fans. On Weibo, there are more than 23 million fans, with an average of more than one Weibo a day, to protect the traffic.

Under the leadership of Lei Jun, Xiaomi, including Lu Weibing, Xu Fei and many other senior executives, have also launched short video and other platforms. These flows gathered together during the release of Xiaomi SU7, which together constituted the key boost for the realization of Xiaomi SU7 market.

This kind of "traffic marketing" has affected countless drivers in the car circle.

According to the public information, Yin Tongyue, the chairman of Chery, personally tested the long-distance, high-speed and high-order intelligent driving ability of Star Era ET; Wei Jianjun, Chairman of Great Wall Motor, opened his first personal live show, and showed the whole scene NOA； of Great Wall Motor without high-precision map. Xia Yiping, CEO of Extreme Yue, and Li Yanhong, CEO of Baidu, got on the bus and experienced the latest Extreme Yue 01 … These live broadcasts not only narrowed the distance between the car factory and the users, but also showed their product experience intuitively to the users.

　　In the center of the ancient canal south of Wuxi Wuqiao and at the mouth of Huishan Bangkou, there is an island, which the locals call Huangbudun.

　　As Kangxi, Qianlong and Wen Tianxiang all stayed here, the reputation of Huangbudun spread far and wide, and it can be called "Millennium online celebrity".

　　Today, the island is being repaired and is expected to be completed before the flood season in June.

　　Huangbudun has started a comprehensive repair.

　　At 10: 00 a.m. on March 14th, I took a boat from Canal Park Pier, and soon arrived at Huangbudun, an island in the middle of the river.

　　It is located in the northern section of Wuxi section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and has been a water hub since ancient times. Cargo ships are busy, sirens are blowing, and the Huangbu pier is also a busy scene.

　　Scaffolding has been set up around Huangbudun, and workers are working on it. The reporter was informed that Huangpudun, a cultural relics protection unit in Wuxi that has been in disrepair for a long time, has started a comprehensive repair and is expected to be completed before the flood season in June.

　　Huangbudun is surrounded by water and planted with weeping willows. The spring breeze blows, the willow shoots out, and the pier is lush.

　　"These willows will be preserved, and miscellaneous trees that are unsightly or affect the safety of the building will be cleaned up and treated as a sparse forest." Rong Kanghua, technical director of Huangpudun repair project, pointed to the willow tree in front of him.

　　He introduced that after on-the-spot measurement, Huangpudun is about 30 meters long from north to south and only 20 meters wide from east to west. It is not difficult to construct on this oval island with an area of less than one acre, and materials must be transported by ship. It is understood that the project began in January, mainly to upgrade and transform the building itself, to maintain the authenticity of its style, and to comprehensively improve the environment, greening and lighting at night.

　　The repair project of Huangbudun is undertaken by Wuxi Urban Construction Development Group Co., Ltd.. Zhang Guodong, deputy general manager of Urban Construction Development Group Urban Investment Company, told the reporter that it has been more than ten years since the last maintenance of Huangbudun, and it was not an overhaul before, but the wall was painted, and the current situation of the building is worrying.

　　After the field investigation by experts in water conservancy, cultural relics and gardens, it was found that the main reason for the damage of cultural relics buildings was that the floor inside the building was too low and the river was irrigated, which formed a basin-like effect.

　　Therefore, the key point of this renovation is to reinforce and maintain the revetment, and innovatively set up a mobile flood control wall around the pier. When the flood season comes, the flood control wall can be installed according to the change of water level, so as to improve the safety factor of the pier and ensure that the impact of high water level on Huangbu pier in flood season is minimized. When the flood season passes, the wall will be removed, which not only protects cultural relics, but also does not affect the viewing.

　　The Past Style and History of Huangbudun

　　Huangbu pier, also known as Xiaojinshan, is circular with an area of 220 square meters, and is built with stone revetment. One said that it was named after the site left by Chun Shenjun (Huang Xie) who once treated Furong Lake here; Another name is Song Huizong. Huang Xin, a native of Shanyin, Zhejiang Province, came to Wuxi to manage rice industry, set up rice mills, build stacks, and often berth grain boats beside piers.

Huangbudun in the 1920s and 1930s

　　Since ancient times, Huangbudun has been a scenic spot in the ancient canal. The temple on the pier was built in the Tang Dynasty and has experienced thousands of years of vicissitudes. Huangbudun was once known as ‘ Two Emperors (Emperor Kangxi and Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty), Two Emperors (Huang Xie of Chu and Wen Tianxiang, Prime Minister of Southern Song Dynasty) and One Clear Sky (& lsquo; Hai Qingtian ’ Hai Rui, a famous Ming dynasty minister, is famous for his boarding.

　　During the reign of Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, he stayed in Huangpudun or stayed overnight. Emperor Kangxi inscribed the plaque "Lan Ruo", and Emperor Qianlong also wrote several poems, such as "The two rivers are surrounded by a continent, and the horses and chariots can only pass through the boat". During the reign of Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, he stayed in Huangpudun or stayed overnight. Emperor Kangxi inscribed the plaque "Lan Ruo", and Emperor Qianlong also wrote several poems, such as "The two rivers are surrounded by a continent, and the horses and chariots can only pass through the boat".

　　In the 16th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1279), Wen Tianxiang, a national hero, was detained by the Yuan Army and passed by Wuxi in the north. He spent the night on the pier and wrote a poem "Crossing Wuxi". Poems are full of strong patriotism and national integrity. "Jinshan Ran Ran waves rain, tin water min min vegetation spring. Twenty years ago, I went to the road and walked three thousand miles away. The hero is not dead, but the father and the old are eager to meet. When I read about Cheng Ying’s keeping Zhao at night, I felt a towel once. "

Huangbudun after reconstruction in 1980s

　　Ming Wang Yongji’s "A Brief Introduction to the Scenery of Xishan" records that "Wenchang Pavilion, Huancui Building and Shuiyuexuan, which are old buildings, are shaded by weeping willows, so they are inseparable".

　　In ancient times, Huangbu pier was known as "the flood can’t be drowned, and the water can’t be seen at the bottom". However, with the establishment of the flood control wall from Sanli Bridge to Wuqiao Bridge and the heightening of the ground, Huangbu Pier is no longer as high as before compared with the surrounding terrain. There were several floods in the 1990s, all of which flooded the piers and banks. On November 21, 1983, Wuxi Municipal People’s Government announced it as a municipal cultural relics protection unit.

　　For thousands of years, Huangbudun has been closely related to the ancient canal in Wuxi, and the story of Huangbudun has been handed down from generation to generation among the people in Wuxi. Yu Youman, an expert in local chronicles, said: "Using Huangpudun well will be a online celebrity punch point for the Grand Canal."

On May 10th, 2023, LI announced its financial report for the first quarter of 2023. Despite the fact that the overall performance of China’s auto market is not as good as expected, LI’s quarterly revenue and delivery both hit record highs. Revenue in the first quarter was 18.79 billion yuan, up 96.5% year-on-year. In the same period, LI delivered a total of 52,584 new cars to users, up 65.8% year-on-year, achieving the single-season delivery *. Driven by strong delivery, LI ranked among the top three new energy brands in China in the first quarter, with a market share of about 11%, far exceeding other new power brands. Thanks to the unremitting pursuit of operating efficiency, a number of financial data hit record highs. After deducting equity incentives, operating profit and net profit reached 890 million yuan and 1.41 billion yuan respectively, and free cash flow reached 6.7 billion yuan. The gross profit margin remained stable at 20.4% in the first quarter. A healthy business model and sufficient cash reserves have laid a solid foundation for the long-term development of enterprises.

It is worth mentioning that LI has continuously strengthened its refined operation and promoted the continuous increase of delivery data from January to April 2023. By the end of last month, more than 330,000 home users had chosen LI’s products. Thanks to the emergence of more and more home users, the delivery volume in April 2023 exceeded 25,000 vehicles for the first time, up by 516.3% year-on-year, setting a new record of single-month delivery since the brand was founded, and has delivered more than 20,000 vehicles for two consecutive months. Based on positive market feedback, LI’s second-quarter performance guidance has reached a new high, with an estimated delivery of 76,000 to 81,000 vehicles, up 164.9% to 182.4% year-on-year; The estimated total revenue is 24.22 billion yuan to 25.86 billion yuan, up 177.4% to 196.1% year-on-year.

Maintain high growth in R&D investment and constantly optimize product strength.

In the first quarter, relying on users’ continuous recognition of Ideal L9 and Ideal L8, as well as the strong order volume and rapid capacity climbing of Ideal L7, LI achieved a new single-season delivery result, and gained an 11% market share in the new energy vehicle market of more than 200,000 yuan in China. Once again, it proves that LI is constantly exerting the advantages and cooperative effectiveness of its supply chain, manufacturing, sales and service network from stage 1 to stage 10. At present, the released ideal L series models have achieved outstanding performance in their respective market segments. Among them, as a five-seat flagship SUV of the brand * family, the ideal L7 has delivered more than 10,000 yuan in the complete delivery month, which is also a five-seat SUV model of China brand * with a starting price of more than 300,000 yuan and a monthly delivery of more than 10,000 yuan, becoming one of the luxury five-seat SUVs of more families *; Ideal L8 maintains sales in six market segments *; Ideal L9 has won the monthly sales champion of large SUV for many times since it was delivered last year.

Meanwhile, LI invested a total of 1.85 billion yuan in R&D in the first quarter, up 34.8% year-on-year. In terms of smart space and intelligent driving with high user utilization rate, LI has continuously improved its product strength through OTA upgrade. Since the beginning of this year, the ideal L-series models have completed two OTA version upgrades of 4.3 and 4.4, and more than 100 functions and experiences have been optimized. Among them, the task master can let users define the function combination independently and realize the linkage of seat, driving, navigation and application, which has been well received and discussed by users since it was launched. In addition, in OTA 4.4, the new version of the car adds the sentry mode that users have been waiting for for for a long time. The system will automatically detect the situation around the car and remind users according to the level of different situations. Through its own power-saving strategy, the energy consumption for the whole night is only about half that of other models; At the same time, users who assemble the ideal AD Max intelligent driving system also get LKA Plus function through the recent upgrade. This function can realize automatic lane change when navigation is not turned on, reduce driving fatigue and improve traffic efficiency.

In April, Ideal L9, the six flagship SUV—— of the family, won the five-star intelligent star rating in the evaluation results of the IVISTA China Smart Car Index 2023 * batch released by China Automotive Engineering Research Institute Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "China Automobile Research"). Especially in the intelligent safety test, Ideal L9 is the vehicle with the highest score among the vehicles that have been tested by China Smart Car Index, and it is also the vehicle with G+ on the basis of four G evaluations. Ideal L9 has also become the vehicle with the highest performance in IVISTA China Smart Car Index.

Create an ideal fortress to protect family members.

LI has also invested a lot of energy and time in safety related to users’ travel, and strived to build an ideal fortress safety body for the whole family through the safety concept of *. Last year, Ideal L9 became a large SUV with G rating for 25% offset collision on both driver’s side and passenger’s side in China Insurance Automobile Safety Index (C-IASI, hereinafter referred to as "China Insurance Research"). In April this year, the Ideal L9 won the five-star evaluation of the upgraded version of C-NCAP in 2021 in the test results of a new batch of China’s new car evaluation regulations (C-NCAP), becoming the vehicle with the highest comprehensive score in history. Ideal L9 is also a luxury large-scale SUV in China, which has obtained * achievements in China’s new car evaluation regulation (C-NCAP), China Insurance Automobile Safety Index (C-IASI), China Automobile Consumer Research and Evaluation (CCRT) and China Automobile Health Index (C-AHI). In the same month, the Ideal L8 also became the SUV model with * achievements in the crash test history of China Insurance Research Institute. In the passenger safety index inside the car, the passenger safety index outside the car and the vehicle auxiliary safety index, the ideal L8 all got the highest rating of G (excellent), especially in the 25% offset crash test on the passenger side of non-standard test items.

A series of excellent crash results depend on the powerful ideal fortress safety car body design, which is a defensive car body structure deeply developed by LI, and strives to provide 360 all-round protection for family members in every position in the car. First of all, LI determined the energy distribution strategy at vehicle level, system level and key parts level, and built a more scientific and reasonable power transmission path and section size system for each main power transmission channel in turn. Secondly, LI designed a cage-type car body with ultra-high torsional rigidity, and used boron steel (hot formed steel) at key positions to form a protective structure with higher strength. At the same time, LI insists on improving material selection, adopts positive energy management and load distribution for body-in-white, carries out accurate topology of key parts and cross-section structure of the body, and truly uses good steel on the blade. The standard flagship ideal fortress safety body truly realizes the equal rights of safety technology.

In addition, following the four five-star certifications of Ideal L9 in China Automobile Health Index (C-AHI) rating, Ideal L8 also recently obtained four five-star certifications in China Automobile Health Index, becoming a well-deserved "green house" to protect family members.

Stepping into a new development chapter with "dual-energy strategy"

Recently, LI officially released the "Double Energy Strategy", which indicates that the brand will exert all-round efforts in "intelligence" and "electric energy". More importantly, by 2025, LI will form a product layout of "one super flagship model+five extended-range electric vehicles+five high-voltage pure electric vehicles", which will face a market of more than 200,000 and fully meet the needs of home users.

In terms of "intelligence", ideal intelligent driving has officially entered the 3.0 era, from high-speed scenes to urban scenes. This system uses three neural network large model algorithms: static BEV network algorithm, dynamic BEV network algorithm and Occupancy network algorithm to restore, and uses NeRF technology to enhance the Occupancy network algorithm to achieve higher accuracy and details, so as to provide accurate information in the decision-making planning of complex urban scenes. At present, based on the accumulation in the past five years, LI has already had the most intelligent driving training mileage in China, which has reached more than 400 million kilometers. The urban NOA navigation-assisted driving system with ideal AD Max 3.0 is planned to push internal test users from the second quarter of this year. By the end of 2023, there will be more than 100 domestic cities, and with a set of technologies, cities and highways will be completely opened. Some intelligent driving abilities based on large-scale model training will also be released to users who adopt ideal AD Pro hardware models.

In terms of "electric energy", LI has officially entered a new stage of "extended range electric" and "high voltage pure electricity". For the pure electric products to be released in the future, LI has deeply cultivated the core technology and landed an 800V ultra-charged pure electric solution. Its advantage lies in making users bid farewell to mileage anxiety and giving pure electric users a "refueling" experience. LI’s pure electric products will adopt a new generation of self-developed electric drive system composed of 800V silicon carbide power modules, with comprehensive optimized design scheme and more advanced resource integration, which will make breakthroughs in all energy efficiency indicators. In addition, in order to reduce the charging difficulties of users of pure electric vehicles, LI officially launched the "Ideal 4C Super Charging Station" and the overcharge network, so as to realize the rapid recharge of charging for 10 minutes and increasing the battery life by 400 kilometers. By 2025, the goal is to build more than 3,000 charging stations. At the same time, the ideal AD Max 3.0 will also be integrated with the ideal 4C super charging station *, making it more convenient for users to go to the super charging station than to the gas station.

Optimize the layout of sales network and enhance the status of the industry *

In the first quarter, in order to support the development of multi-vehicles, LI continued to expand the network layout and accelerate the upgrading of store quality, so as to provide users with more convenient and efficient services. Since late June last year, LI has expanded or optimized nearly 50 existing stores. As of April 30, 2023, LI has 302 retail centers nationwide, covering 123 cities; There are 318 after-sales maintenance centers and authorized car body panel spraying centers, covering 222 cities.

The ever-increasing profitability and cash flow have become the basis for enterprises to continuously invest in R&D and business capabilities, and also provide strong support for brands to maintain their position in the new energy vehicle market. With strong product strength and excellent operational efficiency, LI will continue to strengthen its commercial and service capabilities, create greater value for users and further enhance the flywheel effect of enterprise development.

Just yesterday, Xiaomi made a car and finally took a key step! The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology publicized the model and production enterprise of Xiaomi pure tram. Although the reporting enterprise is BAIC Group, the actual production address is Xiaomi’s own automobile factory.
In other words, Xiaomi is affiliated with BAIC’s qualification and got the "birth certificate" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. According to media reports, this time Xiaomi will release two cars, namely SU7 and SU7MAX, which are expected to be launched in February next year.

In appearance, many people feel like Tucki P7, but the size is slightly larger. The interior includes a panoramic open roof and a borderless door design. The door glass is marked with Xiaomi logo, and even the sound cover is printed with Xiaomi logo, which means that Xiaomi’s own sound system is likely to be adopted.
The most critical car battery, Xiaomi uses ternary lithium-ion battery and lithium iron phosphate battery, which are from Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited and BYD respectively. At present, Xiaomi’s factory in Beijing Economic Development Zone has started small batch production. Industry insiders estimate that the price will be within 300,000, and the sales volume will be 50,000 to 60,000 after listing next year. Compared with the sales volume of 100,000 in 2024 proposed by Lei Jun, there is still a big gap.
Although the new energy track is a hot spot now, it is really "rolling" in the industry. In the 200,000-300,000 range that Xiaomi focuses on, there are not only leaders such as BYD and Tesla, but also new forces such as Wenjie, Tucki and Zero Run.

Lei Jun should have thought of all kinds of consequences before he decided to build a car. When Lei Jun announced to build a car in 2021, he said something meaningful. He said that Xiaomi has a cash reserve of 108 billion, and we can afford it. He also said that with such a cash reserve, if you don’t fight seriously, you will be ashamed of your support for rice noodles.
However, I am afraid that this time, rice noodles will let Lei Jun down. More than 200,000 cars are not more than 2,000 millet phones, so consumers must carefully consider them.

Just like Xpeng Motors released its Q3 financial report yesterday, it lost another 4 billion yuan in one quarter, while in the first three quarters of this year, Tucki has already lost 9 billion yuan. I am afraid that the speed of losing money like this is as unbearable as Lei Jun. Although Xiaomi claims to have a cash flow of 100 billion yuan, it is impossible to use it all to build a car.
We must know that Huawei’s breakthrough in 5G this year has seriously impacted Xiaomi’s mobile phone business. Lei Jun can’t use too much money to build a car this time. I’m afraid Xiaomi is run out of luck, and it’s hard to get away with it.

Original title: TOP10 list of the most popular stars in Weibo in 2023! Zhao Lusi ranked 10th, Sean Xiao lost to Bailu 4th, and the champion was Hot Search King.

The 2023 TV series is no longer just the top-notch world of Yang Mi, Dilraba, Sean Xiao and YiBo. On the contrary, there are many post-95 generation conflicts. For example, Zhao Lusi in Hiding Secretly, White Deer in Long Moon Blooming, Dylan, Leo, soso, Esther Yu, Zhou Ye and others are the hottest stars nowadays. near futureWeibo released TOP10, the star with the most hot searches in the first half of 2023! Zhao Lusi was tenth, Xiao Zhan was fourth, Bai Lu was third, and the champion was really a hot search king!

In the first half of 2023, the star with the most hot searches TOP10: Zhao Lusi made 300 hot searches on the list.

Zhao Lusi ranked tenth with 300 hot searches. Zhao Lusi has been dominating the screen in recent years. First, Chen Qianqian, a rumored movie, was on fire. Later, Try the World and Brilliant Stars starring Zhao Lusi all had high popularity. In 2023, Zhao Lusi was still very popular. First, she appeared in the inspirational drama "Houlang" with the theme of traditional Chinese medicine, and then her partner Chen Zheyuan’s "Can’t Hide Secretly" was broadcast.

The hot topics of "After the Waves" and "Can’t Hide Secretly" are both amazing. Although the reviews of both dramas are bipolar, there is a high topic if there is Zhao Lusi. Especially, "Can’t Hide Secretly" was broadcast in the summer prime time. Even though there was "Long Wind Crossing" in the same period, Sean Xiao’s "jade bone Yao" and Yang Yang’s "My Human Fireworks" were all broadcast, but the popularity of "Can’t Hide Secretly" has not been compared, and the play has a high popularity overseas. Zhao Ruth’s momentum in 95 flowers is really unstoppable!

In the first half of 2023, TOP10, the "most frequently searched" star: Andy made 300 hot searches on the list.

Although Andy, the queen of traffic, didn’t broadcast a new drama in the first half of the year, her popularity was still amazing. In the past, Andy’s films "Sweet honey is as heavy as frost", "Dear, beloved", "Please give me more advice for the rest of my life" and "Aquilaria sinensis is like crumbs" all got good results, which made Andy secure her position as the queen, and her every move would become a topic. This summer, Andy is coming back with a new drama "Sauvignon Blanc"!

"Sauvignon Blanc" is an S+ heavy costume drama produced and broadcast by Tencent, which is adapted from Tonghua’s novel. The three men advocate late Italy, JC-T and Deng Weiyan are all highly valued, and their people are also very attractive. "Sauvignon Blanc" is expected to be broadcast in late July. Everyone expects this drama to make a splash for this year’s unpopular summer file. I believe Andy’s drama will not let everyone down.

In the first half of 2023, the star with the most hot searches TOP9: Esther Yu’s hot search list was 315 times.

Esther Yu 2022′ s two plays, Freesia Tactics and A Little Forest for Two, have greatly benefited her, especially Freesia Tactics, which made Esther Yu become a popular flower after 1995. Previously, Yang Mi and Zhao Liying dominated the world with 85 flowers, followed by Dilraba and Andy with 90 flowers. However, since last year, the post-1995 actors have taken turns to dominate the screen, and Esther Yu is now as hot as Zhao Lusi because of the success of Freesia.

After these two dramas, Esther Yu has not aired any new works, but her costume dramas "Six Prayers for the Present" and "Feather of the Cloud" are highly topical. In particular, Zhang Linghe’s "Feather of the Clouds" is the second one. Reuters often makes hot searches for all kinds of shooting of this drama. Esther Yu even made hot searches for more than 300 times in the first half of the year without any new drama broadcast. She really brings her own topic.

In the first half of 2023, TOP8, the star with the most hot searches: KUN made 317 hot searches.

Zhao Lusi, Andy, Esther Yu and others went on the hot search list mostly because of their star charm, but KUN didn’t go on the hot search because of a good thing. A while ago, KUN was told by paparazzi that she had a one-night stand with an amateur and asked her to have an abortion. Her mother illegally installed a pinhole camera and asked someone to follow her, and then she made a false report. When the incident first came to light, Weibo Hot Search was almost occupied by KUN.

Although KUN issued a statement apologizing afterwards, it still damaged the image. Many programs that KUN participated in before the accident were also taken off the shelves overnight, and the shots on the variety show were cut out.

In the first half of 2023, the star with the most hot searches TOP7: Jackson Yee hot search list 331 times.

Jackson Yee is definitely the most successful idol singer turned actor. He showed his mature acting skills in The Longest Day In Chang’an, which were not inferior to those of the old opera bones. After that, Better Days, the film starring Zhou Dongyu, also created a high reputation and a high box office, and now it has a place in the film circle.

In the first half of 2023, Jackson Yee participated in the movie "Man Jiang Hong" directed by Zhang Yimou, which is one of the most popular movies in China this year, and it broke out at the super-high box office of 4.5 billion yuan. Jackson Yee also won the seventh place on the list with 331 hot searches.

In the first half of 2023, TOP6, the star with the most hot searches: Jason made 341 hot searches.

Jason is a famous singer in China, and many people should have heard of his voice. He has sung the theme songs of many popular dramas, such as to the sky kingdom, swords of legends, Why Shengxiao Mo, and Aquilaria Resina. This year, Jason’s latest concert tour started, which also made him get on the hot search constantly, and the topic kept on.

TOP5: Song Yaxuan, the star with the most hot searches in the first half of 2023, made 346 hot searches on the list.

Song Yaxuan is one of the members of the Youth League in the era of the popular Men’s League. He is the lead singer and facade of the group and has a high popularity. He is also the darling of variety shows. This year alone, he joined two popular variety shows, Ace to Ace and All Staff Acceleration. Song Yaxuan won the fifth place with 346 hot searches.

TOP4, the star with the most hot searches in the first half of 2023: 484 hot searches in Sean Xiao.

I didn’t expect Top Stream Sean Xiao to rank fourth! Xiao Zhan broadcast two dramas in 2023, one was the drama Na Pianhai in My Dream, which started in June, and the other was jade bone Yao, which was ranked in the summer file. In contrast, "Na Pianhai in My Dream" has a better reputation. It not only made it into the top ten in terms of ratings and webcasts in the first half of 2023, but also scored 7.5 in Douban.

Recently, "jade bone Yao" is relatively silent. Compared with the goddess Sean Xiao, everyone in "jade bone Yao" is talking about the face value of the female director Min. In recent years, Sean Xiao began to try to broaden the theater, and at the same time, it can maintain the heat of the top stream, which is really amazing. Although the number of hot searches is not the most, Sean Xiao’s every move is still attracting attention.

In the first half of 2023, the star with the most hot searches TOP3: White Deer Hot Search was listed 489 times.

This year, Bailu topped the list of hot searches in Weibo with "Long Moon Blooming", and it was fully searched for 500 times! From the beginning to the end of "Long Moon Blooming", the degree of discussion has never been lower. During the hot broadcast, Bailu, Leo and Chen Douling almost lived on the hot search in Weibo, and the fiery red of the play also caused the traffic of Bailu to rise.

After "Long Moon Blooms", White Deer’s every move has become a topic, from her new drama "Going North" to her participation in the variety show "Run", which has caused heated discussion. Many people are optimistic that White Deer is expected to become a new traffic goddess after Andy and Dilraba.

TOP2, the star with the most hot searches in the first half of 2023: YiBo made 606 hot searches.

YiBo beat Sean Xiao and Bailu to win the second place! In recent years, YiBo began to move to the big screen. In the first half of 2023 alone, YiBo was connected to three films. First, co-star Tony Leung Chiu Wai’s The Unknown, and then April’s King of the Sky and May’s China Youth: Me and My Youth were also released, all of which were big productions with high topics.

Throughout the first half of the year, YiBo made a hot search on the list for 606 times, and the charm of Top Stream remained undiminished. And then there are two movies in YiBo, Enthusiasm and Peacekeeping Riot Squad, which are also expected to be scheduled for 2023. YiBo is going to dominate the cinema schedule this year!

TOP1, the star with the most hot searches in the first half of 2023: Dylan’s hot search list was 607 times.

The champion is Dylan! Since last year’s "Freesia", Dylan has become a popular actor in one fell swoop. In 2023, there was not only a hit of "Floating Map" in Dylan, but also his workplace drama "Come on today" and his partner Zhou Ye’s Republic of China drama "Youth in War" were broadcast. These plays were all performed by Dylan before he became popular, and some of them were not even the protagonists, but they still had a hot topic because of Dylan.

In the first half of the year, Dylan made 607 hot searches, which were not only broadcast by many dramas, but also talked about constantly because of her participation in the variety show Fifty Kilometers of Peach Blossom House and her new dramas "Taking Love as a Camp" and "Da Feng Da Geng Ren". Taking Love as a Camp, Dylan is the partner of the new generation of Xiaohua White Deer, and the costume drama Da Feng Da Geng Ren is the partner of 95 Hua Tian Xi Wei, both of which are popular and topical.

Editor in charge:

On June 18th, Father’s Day, a special activity in a park in Beijing-the movie "Don’t call me a gambler" and "Father’s Day Parent-child Run in 2023" kicked off. Starring Chow Yun Fat and Anita Yuen, director Anthony Pun, screenwriter Zhuang Wenqiang, producer Huang Bin, art director Man Lim Chung, producers Yu Dong, Chen Huilian and other creative artists attended the event together, extending the plot of father and son’s blood running in the film to the outside of the play. Humor at the scene shows that he plays a gambler in this film, but "he fell in love with running and stopped gambling", and together with 100 groups of parent-child runners composed of father and children, he completed a 5-kilometer running activity and celebrated Father’s Day.

Don’t call me "gambler"

No score yet

The plot was released in Hongkong, China on June 21st, 2023.

The movie "Don’t call me a gambler" will be released nationwide on June 21st during the Dragon Boat Festival, and the pre-sale has been fully opened. I look forward to Fage’s "running" on the big screen and making great strides all the way.

In the movie "Don’t call me" God of Gambling ",Chow Yun Fat plays Wu Guanghui, who is addicted to gambling for half his life. When he falls into the trough of his life, he is inspired by his sudden son, and his father and son run together to awaken each other’s love, which also rekindles Wu Guanghui’s love for life. The "2023 Father’s Day Parent-child Run" activity initiated by this film is to extend the plot in the film to the outside of the play, and invite 100 groups of father and son to run for love together.

On the same day, Chow Yun Fat, who was on the runway with many runners, was in high spirits, but he couldn’t hide his healthy figure created by running. Fage said that he insisted on running for many years, which not only made his body better, but also made many friends, and admitted that "today’s activities are as caring, warm-hearted and heartfelt as the film." And Jing Jing Anita Yuen added humorously that he had "practiced for a week" for today’s activity and called on all runners to "run well with Brother Fa!"

Among the runners, some fathers took their children to participate in activities, and some young friends came with their parents, which was very suitable for Father’s Day. In addition, Jin Qiaoqiao, Huo Siyan and Uh-huh also attended the activity and joined the running group. Before the game, Fage warmed up with the runners and took a group photo at the starting line, which pushed the atmosphere of the event to a climax.

After the event, Chen Qingyi, vice president and general manager of Bona Film Group, Liang Feng, co-founder and CEO of Yuepao Circle, Hou Qi, Party branch secretary and executive director of Beijing Lvxin Garden Co., Ltd., and Na Heli, general manager of Beijing Lvxin Garden Co., Ltd. fired the starting gun together, and Fage rushed out of the starting point with the film creator and the parent-child runner, and successfully reached the finish line after a 5-kilometer run. Fage, who finished the race, said with emotion that he saw so many excellent runners today, "I will continue to exercise myself."

At the end of the activity, Fage and Anita Yuen presented medals to the 10 runners who took the lead in crossing the finish line, and selected a number of lucky spectators to give movie tickets, which ended the happy and energetic parent-child running activity.

Holding this parent-child running activity on Father’s Day complements the theme of the movie "Don’t call me a gambler". In the movie, the booster for Wu Guanghui and his son to move towards a new life is running, which makes them rekindle their hopes for life together. At the scene, Fage said that his role in the film was once a bad man, but in the end he understood the responsibility of the family and "brought warmth to his family".

Anita Yuen, who plays Wu Guanghui’s lover in the movie, bluntly said that although the movie is about father and son, he sent his son back to Wu Guanghui. "No matter what happens, the family should be together.". Yu Dong, chairman of Bona Film, also said: The film is related to running and also to his father. "I believe the audience will be moved by the film."

Cathay Pacific has been controversial because of its attitude towards non-English-speaking passengers, but this does not affect its ultra-high profit margin.

In May 2023, Cathay Pacific was pushed to the forefront because of the blanket incident. Some passengers accused the flight attendants of showing obvious discrimination when providing blankets to non-English passengers. This incident quickly sparked heated discussion on social media.

In fact, this is not the first time that Cathay Pacific has attracted public attention because of discrimination. In the past few years, similar incidents have been common, and every time they have caused widespread discussion and criticism in society. However, Cathay Pacific does not seem to have learned from these incidents, and its service attitude has not been fundamentally solved.

Looking back at the long river of history, the development history of Cathay Pacific is accompanied by glory and shadow.

Since its birth in 1946, Cathay Pacific has carried the dream of Hong Kong’s take-off. At that time, Hong Kong was in the midst of a booming economy, and the founders of Cathay Pacific, Dragonair and Singapore Airlines were ambitious and determined to write their own legends in this hot land. They bravely embarked on the journey with a small plane and several short-haul routes.

However, the road to entrepreneurship is not smooth sailing. Cathay Pacific opened international routes and bought new aircraft during the expansion period, but its management means and technical level are still immature. Facing the competition of international aviation giants, Cathay Pacific strives for a breakthrough, but it also has to face various internal contradictions and challenges.

Entering the period of internationalization, Cathay Pacific ushered in a golden period of development. The opening of international routes such as new york, London and Sydney, as well as the cooperation with many international airlines, have made Cathay Pacific gradually emerge. However, just when Cathay Pacific seemed to have unlimited scenery, the shadow came quietly. The decline in service quality and frequent management loopholes have dealt an unprecedented blow to Cathay Pacific’s reputation.

During the merger period, Cathay Pacific tried to make up for its own shortcomings through acquisition and cooperation. The acquisition of Dragonair has undoubtedly injected new vitality into Cathay Pacific, but it has also brought many integration problems. At the same time, the cooperation and alliance with other airlines are not smooth sailing, and problems such as interest disputes and cultural differences have put Cathay Pacific into a situation of internal and external troubles.

In the period of modernization and transformation, Cathay Pacific tried to revive itself through digital transformation and the introduction of new aircraft models and technical means. However, in the face of intensified market competition and changes in customer demand, Cathay Pacific’s road to transformation seems to be difficult. Although innovative measures such as SkyTeam membership plan have been launched, it still needs to be improved in terms of service quality and operational efficiency.

In addition to service disputes, Cathay Pacific’s financial situation is also worrying. The performance of losing money for three consecutive years makes investors feel pessimistic about the company’s prospects. The latest financial report shows that despite the company’s efforts in some aspects, revenue and net profit have been greatly improved, but the overall financial situation has not improved significantly.

After the recent relatively bright financial report was released, Cathay Pacific’s share price fell instead of rising. According to statistics, the stock price fell by 3.27% in the trading day after the financial report was released, which reflected the market’s concern about the company’s future performance. As of the close of March 14th, Cathay Pacific’s share price was HK$ 8.870 per share, which was 40% lower than the high of HK$ 14.672.

Cathay Pacific released its financial report for 2023 on March 13th, and its performance showed a positive trend of turning losses into profits. On the whole, after experiencing the losses in 2022, the company achieved a significant recovery in performance through efforts.

From the overall performance overview, in 2023, Cathay Pacific’s performance income reached 94.485 billion Hong Kong dollars, compared with the loss of 6.623 billion Hong Kong dollars in the same period in 2022, achieving a significant increase in net profit of 9.789 billion Hong Kong dollars. This achievement is mainly due to the strong recovery of passenger transport business.

What is optimistic is that Cathay Pacific’s passenger transport business has grown substantially. In terms of passenger transport, Cathay Pacific’s passenger transport revenue is HK$ 55.951 billion, an astonishing increase of 308.8% compared with 2022. In 2023, the company transported 18 million passengers, with an average daily passenger capacity of 49,300 passengers, an increase of 541.4% compared with 2022. This growth reflects the strong recovery of the aviation market and Cathay Pacific’s efforts in passenger service.

The recovery in North Asia has been remarkable. From the perspective of Cathay Pacific’s global passenger transport business, the data of all regions have shown an increasing trend. It is particularly noteworthy that the recovery of North Asia, which is dominated by the mainland of China, is more remarkable. The financial report shows that in North Asia, the company’s carrying capacity increased by 534.7% year-on-year, and the passenger carrying rate also increased by 23.6 percentage points, reaching 78.4%. This growth rate ranks first in all regions, showing the importance of the North Asian market to Cathay Pacific and the company’s strong competitiveness in the region.

In addition to North Asia, Cathay Pacific’s performance in other regions can not be ignored. In South Asia, Middle East and Africa, the company’s carrying capacity increased by 467.7% year-on-year, and the passenger carrying rate also increased by 15.9 percentage points. In Southeast Asia, the carrying capacity increased by 456.6% year-on-year, and the passenger carrying rate increased by 17.7 percentage points. These data show the company’s business recovery and growth momentum on a global scale.

As we all know, the gross profit margin of Maotai is the ceiling of many industries.The gross profit margin can be higher than that of Maotai, and Cathay Pacific is one of the few.

Cathay Pacific’s gross profit margin in 2023 was as high as 91.85%, which even exceeded the gross profit margin of 91.71% of Kweichow Moutai in the same period. In general, gross profit margin is regarded as an important indicator of enterprise profitability and operating efficiency. Cathay Pacific’s gross profit margin is higher than Maotai’s, which explains its high profit margin in aviation business to some extent.

However, when we further observe Cathay Pacific’s net interest rate, we find that its net interest rate is only 10.36%, far lower than that of Kweichow Moutai’s 53.09%. This phenomenon of high gross profit margin and low net interest rate actually reveals a series of challenges Cathay Pacific faces in its operation.

First of all, labor cost is one of the important expenses in airline operation.With the recovery of global economy and the recovery of aviation market, in order to attract and retain talents, airlines often need to improve the salary and welfare level of employees. This has increased the labor cost of Cathay Pacific to a certain extent, thus compressing its net interest rate space.

Secondly, in addition to labor costs, airlines also need to face various cost pressures such as fuel price fluctuations, aircraft maintenance costs, and route operating costs.The changes of these cost factors will directly affect the profitability of airlines. For example, the increase in fuel prices will increase the operating costs of airlines, thus reducing their net interest rates.

In addition, market competition is also one of the important factors that affect the net interest rate of airlines.In the highly competitive aviation market, airlines often need to adopt price competition strategy in order to compete for market share and customer resources. Although this strategy can increase sales and market share, it will also reduce the profit rate of airlines to some extent.

Although Cathay Pacific has a high gross profit margin, its net interest rate performance is not ideal due to the increase of labor costs and market competition. In order to improve profitability, Cathay Pacific needs to make more efforts in cost control, market expansion and service quality improvement. Because Cathay Pacific’s high gross profit margin did not bring high net interest rate.

In the aviation industry, the performance of companies is often affected by multiple factors such as macroeconomics, fuel price, market competition and service quality. Cathay Pacific, as one of them, does not have obvious advantages over the same industry in some aspects.

First look at the revenue data. Although the revenue disclosed by Cathay Pacific in the latest financial report is still huge, compared with the industry leaders, its growth rate is somewhat weak. Take Singapore Airlines and Emirates as examples. Both airlines have achieved steady revenue growth in the past few years, while Cathay Pacific’s revenue growth is relatively slow.

There are many reasons for this situation. On the one hand, the market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, especially in Asia, where emerging airlines are constantly emerging, posing a severe challenge to traditional airlines. On the other hand, Cathay Pacific may be too conservative in route layout and market expansion, failing to fully grasp the growth opportunities of emerging markets.

Let’s look at the net profit data. Cathay Pacific’s net profit performance is also not optimistic. Compared with its counterparts such as Singapore Airlines and Emirates Airlines, Cathay Pacific’s net profit level is low and fluctuates greatly. This instability not only affects the profitability of the company, but also increases the risk of investors.

The reasons of net profit fluctuation mainly include fuel price fluctuation, exchange rate change, market demand change and other factors. However, Cathay Pacific seems to be unable to cope with these risks. Especially in terms of fuel prices, Cathay Pacific failed to effectively hedge the pressure brought by rising fuel costs, resulting in a greater impact on net profit.

In terms of gross profit margin and net interest rate, Cathay Pacific’s performance is also unsatisfactory. Although its gross profit rate is relatively high, its net profit rate is far below the average level of the same industry. This means that the company is facing great cost pressure in the operation process, and the profit space is severely squeezed. This is mainly due to the pressure of labor cost, fuel cost and market competition faced by the company in the operation process, which leads to the compression of profit space.

Because Cathay Pacific has been criticized for its service quality, there are as many as 721 complaints about Cathay Pacific on the complaint platform Black Cat. In order to improve the service level, the company has increased its investment in employee training, which has increased its labor cost to some extent. It is reported that the labor cost of Cathay Pacific in 2023 increased by 3 billion yuan compared with previous years.

Although Cathay Pacific has made efforts in service training, its service problems are still frequent, which may be related to the company’s management system, staff quality and corporate culture. In contrast, Singapore Airlines and Emirates Airlines have shown good stability in terms of gross profit margin and net interest rate.

There are two main reasons for this situation. First of all, fixed expenses such as labor costs account for a relatively high proportion, which makes it difficult for Cathay Pacific to reduce costs during its operation. Especially in terms of employee compensation and welfare, Cathay Pacific needs to invest a lot of money to maintain the stability of the workforce and the quality of service. Secondly, the fierce market competition makes airlines have to adopt price competition strategy to attract customers, which further reduces Cathay Pacific’s profit margin.

In fact, how to find a balance between improving service quality and controlling costs is a big problem for Cathay Pacific. On the one hand, improving service quality can improve customer satisfaction and loyalty, thus bringing more market share and benefits to the company. On the other hand, excessive investment may lead to rising costs, declining profit margins and even losses. Therefore, Cathay Pacific needs to pay more attention to cost control and operational efficiency improvement on the premise of ensuring service quality.

The change in the rating of Cathay Pacific also reflects its performance to some extent. In recent years, due to the problems in service quality, cost control and market competition, some institutions have downgraded Cathay Pacific. These rating changes not only affected the company’s share price performance, but also dealt a blow to its market reputation and investor confidence.

In the latest trading day, Cathay Pacific’s share price fell by more than 4%, and CLSA downgraded its rating and earnings forecast. In the research report released by CITIC Lyon, Cathay Pacific’s investment rating was adjusted from "buy" to "outperform the market" and the target price was kept at HK$ 10.6.

The report predicts that the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the company will increase by 29% to HK$ 5.1 billion in the second half of 2023, which is 22% higher than previously expected. At the same time, it is expected that the company will resume paying ordinary dividends in advance.

However, CLSA believes that the risk return of the current share price is not attractive in view of the changes in air ticket prices and rising staff costs. Therefore, the agency lowered its profit forecast for 2024-25 by 4-5%, mainly because it has not seen obvious signs of improvement in freight business.

ICBC International, the investment banking department of the largest bank in the Mainland, downgraded Cathay Pacific to "strong sell" and adjusted its target price to HK$ 6. This shows that ICBC International is pessimistic about Cathay Pacific’s future development prospects.

To sum up, Cathay Pacific’s performance in 2023 does not have obvious advantages in the aviation industry. In order to enhance its competitiveness, Cathay Pacific needs to make more efforts in service quality, cost control, operational efficiency and market risk management.

The 24th Chengdu Auto Show ended on September 7th. In 2021, when the development and recovery of the global automobile industry is still affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, China, as one of the most important automobile production and sales countries in the world, cannot be immune to it.

Nowadays, the normalization of epidemic prevention and control has become the most basic policy. The audience wears masks, the car dealers wear masks, and even the car models on the platform wear masks. The A-class auto show held under such conditions, Chengdu International Auto Show has become one of the most important voice platforms in the automobile industry in China and even in the world, and it is truly a battleground for world-renowned auto companies to release their "star models".

All kinds of luxury and mid-to-high-end car brands have brought their own brand-new products at Chengdu Auto Show. As a brand-new luxury brand born only this year, SAIC Audi has set up its own booth for the first time since its establishment. This time, SAIC Audi brought its two innovative models to the 2021 Chengdu International Auto Show. As a high-profile flagship model of SAIC Audi luxury, the new Audi A7L advanced version completed its first official appearance in Southwest China.

During the auto show, the popularity of SAIC Audi booth in Hall 3 has been very high, and consumers coming and going to see the car are in an endless stream. On the booth, two car color versions of the new Audi A7L are displayed, namely limited color Qingshan Dai and Xinghe Blue. The new A7L inherits the design essence of the Audi Prologue concept car in appearance. The coupe-style body lines, obsidian black sports kit and 21-inch RS racing wheels show the sporty feeling of this car. The A7L’s power combination is also verifying this point. The A7L’s first version is equipped with a 3.0TFSI V6 engine, which matches the 48V light mixing system and accelerates for 5.6 seconds per 100 kilometers. Intelligent quattro four-wheel drive technology, the only active air suspension in its class and DAWS dynamic all-wheel steering system combination. It is no exaggeration to call A7L the benchmark of the same level in this series of power operation configurations.

While A7L shows its athletic talent, it also shows the elegance of an administrative model everywhere. The frameless electric suction door with A8 grade and the configuration of multi-layer aviation glass minimize the noise interference in the car. As an extended model, A7L has a body length of more than 5 meters, a wheelbase of more than 3 meters and the widest body in its class. All these hard indicators have built a leapfrog administrative space experience for A7L. The seats in the car are tailor-made seats for China consumers, with thickened advanced foam materials, lengthened cushions and widened back. All this is for A7L to create an administrative experience far beyond its peers.

In addition to the car as the protagonist, this exhibition is the first independent exhibition of SAIC Audi. For example, there is a fan interaction space on the second floor, which will display many Audi products, including the clothes used by men, the bags that women like, and the car models and pens that children like. This area has also become the favorite of children during the auto show.

Audi Box[ Enterprising Red Man Station] is the punching place for online celebrity and fashionable men and women. The whole Audi Box presents a cool cube, which combines cool tuners and retro microphones with the trend of the times to integrate retro elements with the trend icon, conveying Audi’s extraordinary design concept and enterprising attitude towards life.

Such a diversified booth suitable for men, women and children is the answer sheet handed over by SAIC Audi at Chengdu Auto Show. The high popularity at the scene proves the success of this auto show and consumers’ expectations for the brand SAIC Audi.

　　The South Center for the Elimination and Renewal of Old Motor Vehicles in Beijing has recently made an appointment for the elimination and renewal of vehicles by a large number of car owners.

　　Starting from tomorrow, the city will implement restrictions on vehicles in countries I and II on working days within the Fifth Ring Road. Vehicles that fail to meet the standards can’t enter the Fifth Ring Road. In addition, the city has introduced an incentive policy to encourage car owners to eliminate the vehicles in countries I and II. Many car owners have joined the ranks of eliminating old motor vehicles. The reporter learned from the Emissions Trading Center of the Beijing Stock Exchange that with the advent of the new policy of restricting traffic, there are a large number of car owners who have recently made an appointment for the elimination and renewal of motor vehicles. It is recommended that car owners make an appointment for the date after March 1. According to the introduction of the Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau, since the implementation of the policy on December 1, 2016, the Beijing old motor vehicle elimination and renewal trading platform has actively handled the government subsidy procedures for vehicle owners, and has audited and subsidized 26,447 national I and II light gasoline vehicles. By the end of last year, there were 397,000 national I and II light gasoline vehicles in this city.

　　site

　　The information is complete and can be done in five minutes.

　　The South Center for the Elimination and Renewal of Old Motor Vehicles in Beijing is located in Xinfadi Automobile Trading Market in the South Fourth Ring Road, which is the largest number of car owners in the six old motor vehicle elimination outlets in this city. At 10 o’clock yesterday, when the Beijing Morning Post reporter came here, there were already many car owners waiting for the application form in the processing hall. The handling hall is small, with six handling windows, two auditing windows and one consulting window, which can facilitate the owner to complete all formalities in one stop. Hu Xiaolin, the person in charge of the southern central network, said that in the past, all service windows were in different rooms. From consultation to review of materials, car owners needed to go in and out of many offices. "So later, we integrated these windows in an office area, so that car owners only need to go through all the formalities once."

　　How long does it take the owner from entering the gate of the processing hall to completing all formalities? The answer given by Hu Xiaolin is 5 minutes. According to the reporter’s observation, because many data owners have already filled in and printed from the Internet before, after entering the lobby, the owners first hand over the data to the staff for preliminary review, and after the review is completed, they can go to the final review window to go through the formalities of receiving subsidies, so the processing time is not long.

　　owner

　　I was lucky enough to make up my mind now.

　　Yesterday, I handled the branch in the South Center. Mr. Tian Zhihui, a citizen, successfully completed all the formalities. Within 15 working days, a subsidy of 12,000 yuan will be paid to Tian Zhihui’s bank account. Speaking of his fiat, which was just scrapped in 2003, Mr. Tian said frankly that he was "really reluctant." Although that Fiat has been driving for 14 years this year, Tian Zhihui’s family didn’t drive much, so the mileage in the past 14 years was only over 100,000 kilometers. "At the end of last year, I heard that the country I and country II cars were restricted, and I was still lucky. There was nothing wrong with my car anywhere, so I wanted to see if I could not eliminate it." However, seeing that the restriction policy will be officially implemented on February 15, Tian Zhihui decided to join the team that eliminated old motor vehicles. "I take the fourth ring road from home to work, and once I start to restrict my car, I will definitely not be able to drive it. In addition, isn’t the government giving back subsidies, so it’s better to scrap it quickly. "

　　With the subsidy, it will be eliminated now.

　　The owner Yu Xiansheng’s national II car was originally a second-hand car. Yu Xiansheng said, "I was short of money before, so I bought a second-hand car. I originally thought that I would change the car after I had enough money for a year or two, but this is not the policy that has to be restricted now, and now there is a subsidy for eliminating the country I and country II cars, so I will scrap them in advance. "

　　Ms. Ma, the owner of the car, and her husband also went to the South Center to go through the formalities yesterday. Ms. Ma said that the on-site handling procedure is not complicated. At the same time, she suggested increasing the publicity of policies related to the elimination of old motor vehicles. "For example, policy interpretation brochures can be distributed to the community, and the community can post them on the bulletin board, so that some older car owners can clearly understand the handling process without surfing the Internet."

　　■ Reminder

　　Don’t forget your ID card and CCB card.

　　1 Hu Xiaolin introduced that all car owners who handle the elimination of old motor vehicles need to make an appointment online for the specific time of on-site processing. If they miss the processing time, they need to make an appointment again. When the reporter interviewed at the scene, he met a car owner who missed the appointment time. After arriving at the scene, he could not go through the formalities and had to make a new appointment on his mobile phone with the help of the staff.

　　Identity card and bank card are two documents that the owner must remember to bring with him in addition to the information. Hu Xiaolin said: "Especially the bank card, the owner must check it, and it must be the owner’s own CCB current savings card. We have had many cases in which the car owners brought the wrong bank card after they came, which led to the situation of going home to get the bank card or re-applying for the bank card. "

　　In addition, Hu Xiaolin reminded that car owners need to bring the original and photocopy of their ID cards when they come to the outlets. Although it is convenient for car owners to copy their ID cards on the spot in the lobby, the reporter found that there are many people in the copying office, so if the car owners have copied their ID cards before coming to the lobby, it will be faster to go to the scene.

　　Avoid getting together and make an appointment for next month.

　　2 "Beijing Old Motor Vehicle Elimination and Updating Management Information System" is a network platform for all car owners to eliminate old motor vehicles. Hu Xiaolin introduced that the online reservation system has been fully opened.

Hu Xiaolin said that at present, the online booking time for eliminating old motor vehicles in February is saturated, and it is recommended that car owners make an appointment after March 1 to stagger the peak.

　　How to distinguish between country I and country II cars

　　One is "counting time", which can be distinguished according to the vehicle registration date marked on your driving book. Cars bought after June 30, 2006 in this city are not national I and II cars.

　　The second is "counting the stars", which means looking at the environmental protection signs issued by the annual inspection of motor vehicles. If there is no green sign of a star, a star or two stars, it is a country I and a country II car.

　　The third is "looking at materials", according to the vehicle emission standards marked by materials such as the vehicle factory certificate issued by the automobile manufacturer when buying a new car.

　　Fourth, "seeking help", you can log on to the "Motor Vehicle Emission Standard Inquiry" column of the website of Beijing Environmental Protection Bureau; Or directly call the "12369" Beijing environmental complaint reporting consultation telephone, and ask the staff to help you directly inquire.

　　Restriction measures

　　From February 15th, light gasoline vehicles with national I and II emission standards are prohibited from driving on the roads within the Fifth Ring Road (excluding Saturdays and Sundays). Offenders will be fined 100 yuan, which will be calculated once every 4 hours.

　　Subsidy policy

　　From December 1, 2016 to the end of 2017, light gasoline vehicles with emission standards of country I and country II can receive government subsidies in advance. Among them, the elimination before the end of June 2017 is 2000 yuan more than the elimination from July to the end of December 2017.
