In Wuhan, Hubei Province, finless porpoises are artificially raised in the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Our reporter Zhou Mengshuang photo/bright picture

　　[Rivers flow — — Report from the Yangtze River Economic Belt]

　　"My family has been fishermen for generations. I was born on a fishing boat in Huanggang, Hubei Province. I have been living on the Yangtze River since I can remember." Shu Yin ‘an, 51, has been fishing for 40 years and witnessed the Yangtze finless porpoises changing from small to large.

　　In June 2017, Shu Yinan put away his fishing net and signed up as a member of the patrol team of the finless porpoise in Hukou, Poyang Lake. "When I was a child, finless porpoises could be seen everywhere on the Yangtze River. Now it is not only difficult to find finless porpoises, but even the fish species such as shad and river bream are almost extinct."

　　In 1990, 3,600; In 2006, 1,800; In 2012, 1,045 heads; In 2018, 1012 heads … … In the past 30 years, as Shu Yinan felt, the population of Yangtze finless porpoise is declining. The bigger problem of fermentation behind this is the heavy pressure that the Yangtze River ecosystem is facing.

　　"The extreme endangerment of the Yangtze finless porpoise population is the result of a variety of human activities, such as the great decline of fish population caused by the obstruction of rivers and lakes and the overfishing of cool fish, the lack of food for finless porpoises, the rapid development of shipping industry interfering with the sonar communication of finless porpoises, water pollution reducing their fertility, fishing gear and ships accidentally injuring finless porpoises, etc." Xu Xudong, a researcher at the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said, "The Yangtze finless porpoise is a mammal at the top of the food chain of the Yangtze River ecosystem and is very sensitive to environmental changes. Their number is a mirror reflecting the health of the Yangtze River ecosystem."

　　In the view of many aquatic experts, "no food" is the primary reason that restricts the population of Yangtze finless porpoise.

　　The Yangtze River basin is a natural spawning ground for many freshwater fishes, and fishery resources were once extremely rich. However, today, the fishery resources in the Yangtze River have declined in an all-round way: the annual output of shad has basically disappeared from 1570 tons in 1974 to now, and the annual output of Coilia ectenes has been 4,000 tons in the 20th century. In recent years, it has been impossible to form a fish season. Compared with the 1950s, the number of seedlings of the "four big fish" has dropped by more than 90%, and the number of eggs laid has dropped from the highest 30 billion to the lowest 100 million … … The finless porpoise, which feeds on fish, has also been hit by the "food crisis".

　　"Many fish in the Yangtze River are Jianghu migrants, and their life history cannot be completed without migration." Xu Xu told reporters that the four well-known fish, namely, grass, silver carp and bighead carp, will fatten in the lake with rich food and migrate from the lake to the Yangtze River when they are sexually mature. When the water temperature reaches above 18 degrees and the river surges, they can be stimulated to estrus and reproduce, and then the fry hatched in the Yangtze River will swim back to the lake.

　　However, since the 1950s, most of the Tongjiang lakes in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have been artificially blocked, and many kinds of fish have declined or even died with the disappearance of migration routes, resulting in the loss of important food sources for the Yangtze finless porpoise. "Due to the decline of fishery resources, many fishermen use a large number of illegal fishing methods such as electric fishing, purse seine, ecstasy and rolling hook to make a living, which further causes the serious decline of fishery resources and also causes many finless porpoises to be accidentally caught and killed." Hao Yujiang, an associate researcher at the Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, introduced.

　　According to the latest data, there are about 457 Yangtze finless porpoises living in Poyang Lake, accounting for about half of the existing population of Yangtze finless porpoises, and the waters from Ezhou to Anqing in the main stream of the Yangtze River, that is, the waters upstream and downstream of the Poyang Lake estuary, are also the waters with the highest distribution density of Yangtze finless porpoises in the main stream.

　　"Poyang Lake is one of the three remaining Tongjiang lakes in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Natural hydrological changes and smooth migration channels have given birth to relatively rich fishery resources, which has also become an excellent habitat for the Yangtze finless porpoise to survive." Hao Yujiang said. In his view, in order to restore the fishery resources of the Yangtze River, firstly, the problem of fishermen should be fundamentally solved at the national level, and fishermen should be helped to change jobs, so that the fish resources of the Yangtze River can be recuperated for two or three generations to promote the rapid recovery of fishery resources; Second, actively promote the natural ecological protection of the Yangtze River, restore the natural coastline and sandbar vegetation of the Yangtze River, restore the connection between rivers and lakes where conditions permit, create a natural habitat suitable for aquatic organisms, and restore the natural life characteristics of the Yangtze River.

　　"Fishery resources are typical open public resources, which can easily lead to overuse ‘ Tragedy of the commons ’ 。” Ma Yi, director of the Fishery Supervision and Administration Office of the Yangtze River Basin of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, said that the annual catch of the Yangtze River has been less than 100,000 tons, accounting for only 0.15% of the national freshwater catch, which has basically lost the value of fishery production. The current system of closed fishing season in the Yangtze River has played an extremely important role, but it has not fundamentally changed the general trend of the sharp decline of fishery resources in the Yangtze River. "In order to protect the Yangtze finless porpoise and protect the biodiversity of the Yangtze River, it is imperative to accelerate the comprehensive ban on fishing in key waters of the Yangtze River Basin." Ma Yi said.

　　The Yangtze finless porpoise, whose number is less than that of giant pandas, has not been adjusted since it was designated as a second-class protected animal in 1989, and the lagging legal status has become another important reason to limit the protection of the Yangtze finless porpoise to some extent. Ma Yi told reporters that in 2014, the former Ministry of Agriculture asked all localities to implement the strictest protection and management measures for the Yangtze finless porpoise according to the national first-class key protected wild animal standards, but wanted to update the List of National Key Protected Wild Animals and formally identify the Yangtze finless porpoise as a national first-class key protected wild animal, which involves the coordination and unification of various departments in charge of wildlife protection, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs is currently actively promoting it.

　　"Protecting the Yangtze finless porpoise is to restore the fishery resources of the Yangtze River and protect the ecosystem of the Yangtze River. ‘ 1012 heads ’ The latest investigation results of the Yangtze finless porpoise show that the deterioration trend of the Yangtze River ecosystem has been curbed. " Hao Yujiang thinks that the future of the Yangtze finless porpoise and the future of the Yangtze River is "very promising".

　　 (Reporter Zhou Mengshuang)

　　[Global Times Comprehensive Report] Swedish National Radio announced its withdrawal from Twitter on the 18th local time, which is the first large European media to withdraw or suspend its Twitter account after many public media in North America. In the past week, the Twitter company controlled by billionaire Musk labeled many western media such as Voice of America, National Public Radio (NPR) and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) as "government-sponsored media", which triggered fierce opposition from these media. However, many netizens ridiculed that the US government had forced the accounts of "rival countries" such as Russia to be labeled as "government media" on western social platforms, and now Twitter labels western media. "Isn’t this fair?" Previously, Twitter CEO Musk also revealed that the US government can completely control and read the private messages of Twitter users at will, but such news that is not conducive to the United States and the West is rarely reported by mainstream media.

　　Some China scholars told the Global Times on the 19th that the governments and media in the United States and other western countries, while flaunting the so-called "independence and freedom of the press", manipulated public opinion by various means to serve their own private interests. This "freedom of the press" is the "painted skin" of the American and western governments and their media.

　　"69% government-funded media"

　　According to Reuters, Swedish National Radio did not accuse Twitter of launching a new policy under the leadership of Musk, namely, labeling more western public broadcasters as "government-sponsored media". Gieringer, the station’s director in charge of social media operations, made an indifferent gesture, saying that the decision was made because the Swedish audience of the station had lost interest in Twitter. "Swedish National Radio no longer gives priority to its presence on Twitter," he said. The company still pays attention to its business on social platforms, but now it has decided to completely stop its account on Twitter, "because Twitter has changed and become less important to us."

　　However, the "European News" website said that the Swedish National Radio closed its Twitter account because of "concerns about fake news and hate speech". Gieringer did not hold back his accusations and complaints about Twitter. He said: "Of course, we have noticed the recent turmoil around the platform … … We believe that in the long run, this may affect Twitter’s handling of fake news, ‘ Water army ’ Robots, misinformation and hate speech. Of course, these factors also affect our decision to stop the account on the platform now. "

　　In the past week, Twitter has labeled VOA, National Public Radio (NPR), American Public Broadcasting Corporation (PBS), British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) as "government-sponsored media", which has aroused fierce criticism and opposition from these western media. The BBC argued that its funds mainly came from the TV viewing license fees paid by British families, and Twitter finally changed the label of the BBC to "publicly funded media". So far, this is the only western media that has successfully made Twitter modify the label of "government-sponsored media".

　　In this round of labeling struggle, the contest between Twitter and CBC is particularly fierce. On the 16th local time, CBC and its related accounts were tagged as "government-sponsored media" by Twitter. In this regard, CBC spokesman Omar said that Twitter wrongly described CBC’s "editorial independence", so the company will suspend the update of related accounts. He said that Twitter regards "government-sponsored media" as "the government may participate in defining the content of news reports to varying degrees", which is obviously not in line with the actual situation. CBC17 issued several tweets on the 17th, saying, "Our news is fair and independent. The opposite statement is untrue. This is why we suspend our activities on Twitter. " "CBC is funded by public funds voted by members of parliament. Its independence is protected by law. "

　　However, Twitter said that it is not groundless to label CBC as "government-sponsored media", "according to CBC2021 — According to the 2022 financial report data, the company received nearly $1.4 billion in funding from the government (accounting for 70% of its funds). " Musk immediately said that CBC’s "concerns have been resolved." He also attached a screenshot of CBC Twitter account marked "69% government-funded media" on the grounds that "CBC said they only received less than 70% government funding".

　　"Western media is being attacked by itself"?

　　Twitter’s move triggered fierce criticism from the western media. The British "Daily Mail" said that Musk was attacked for labeling the accounts of National Public Radio (NPR), American Public Broadcasting Company (PBS) and other western media as "government-sponsored media". Critics warned Twitter that "don’t misuse the concept, public funding (but not interfering with press freedom) is different from the state’s direct intervention in the operation of the media editorial department." According to the report, Freedom House in the United States said that the tag of "government-sponsored media" was "not fairly applied" on Twitter, and the media accounts of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar were not so marked, while the public media accounts of the United States, Britain and Canada were marked.

　　After the acquisition of Twitter, Musk always claimed to transform Twitter into a social platform for "seeking truth" and labeled Twitter accounts such as Voice of America and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) as "government-sponsored media". "Musk fought with western media to find the truth", the Russian newspaper Kommersant reported on the 18th that western media such as CBC and National Public Radio have recently strongly opposed being labeled as "government-sponsored media" by Twitter, which was previously only used in the accounts of Russian and China media. In this regard, some Russian netizens said, why did the western media loudly applaud when the United States and the West labeled the Russian media as "government media"? This is actually "the anti-bite of the western media."

　　The mutual accusation between Twitter and western public media has aroused the debate among netizens in western countries. On Twitter, some netizens said, "I fully support transparency. These news organizations did accept government funds, and they should not ‘ Government-sponsored media ’ The label has objections. " "The snobbish conservative media doesn’t like it, but I have witnessed everything here." However, some netizens said, "‘ Government-sponsored media ’ The label is inaccurate, which does not explain which government funding it is, nor does it reflect other sources of funding for the media. " But most netizens think, "This is completely fair, and this is exactly what they deserve." Some netizens ridiculed that "does 69% funding mean only 69% publicity?" "Perfect action. The numbers are so accurate. "

　　This struggle has also become the content of western political infighting. Before Twitter tagged CBC, Canadian Conservative Party leader Poliyev accused CBC of favoring the government and the ruling party. On April 12, he called on Musk to label CBC "more accurately". He wrote in the tweet: "We must protect Canadians from false information and manipulation by CBC." Poliyev stressed that this is a fact that Canadians should know.

　　Lu Chuanying, secretary-general of the Center for International Governance of Cyberspace of Shanghai Institute of International Studies, said in an interview with the Global Times on the 19th that the debate on labeling between Twitter and western traditional media was mainly due to the increasingly diversified channels for the public to obtain information. Western media flaunt "independence and freedom of news", but actually regard news as a "fourth power" beyond the public. In fact, this is a struggle for the control power of public opinion discourse.

　　Li Haidong, a professor at the Institute of International Relations of the Foreign Affairs University, told the Global Times reporter that in western society, the influence of the media largely depends on people’s attention. In the information age, digital communication has become popular, and the withdrawal of western traditional media from Twitter is tantamount to self-isolation, and it is impossible for people to follow.

　　50% believe that American media deceive the public.

　　In fact, this competition also highlights the lower and lower trust of the western people in the media. According to Al Jazeera, a poll conducted by Gallup Polling Company in February this year showed that only 26% of Americans have a good impression of American media, the lowest level in the past five years, while 53% have a negative view. 50% of Americans believe that most news organizations in the United States are misleading and deceiving the public, and they are "intentional". Only 25% believe that these news organizations have no intention of misleading the public. The poll also found that 52% of Americans believe that American media "don’t care about the best interests of readers, viewers and listeners".

　　Not only traditional media, but also western social media and online media are not much better, and they are almost controlled by the US government and capital. At the end of last year, shortly after Musk acquired Twitter, it broke the news that all social media platforms cooperated with the US government to review the content, and they all deleted the relevant content under the clear instructions of the US federal agencies. Musk released Twitter’s previous documents showing that Twitter cooperated with the FBI, the CIA, the Pentagon and other government agencies to suppress information about the US elections, the Ukrainian situation and the COVID-19 epidemic. On April 16 this year, in an interview, Musk once again broke the news that the US government can read the private messages of all Twitter users at will. "The extent to which the US government can effectively control anything on Twitter surprised me."

　　Li Haidong said: Facts have proved that the setting of "freedom of the press" peddled by the United States and other western countries to the world is a complete lie. Western news has innate value bias and ideological bias. No matter external or internal, many reports are hard to be objective. Recently, the mainstream western media almost ignored the truth about the bombing of the "Beixi" natural gas pipeline, and the "poison train" incident in the United States was exposed by social media such as TikTok and was exposed by foreign media and networks for many days before it had to express its concern. Regardless of whether there is government funding or not, the western media has actually completely lost its independence and become a tool to serve the interests of a few people or mobilize public opinion when the United States and the West promote their foreign strategies.

　　Claire Daley, a member of the European Parliament from Ireland, recently lamented on Twitter that the western media were "corrupt and biased". Daley wrote: "We must admit that our mainstream media is not free at all."

Although the demand for domestic pure electric models is growing rapidly, I believe that many people still want to continue to feel the charm of fuel vehicles, but many models do not launch fuel models after the launch of pure electric models, and BMW has done a good job in this regard.

Based on the sharing of gasoline and electricity platforms, most BMW models will bring pure electric and fuel versions together. Just as BMW launched the fuel version at the Guangzhou Auto Show after the launch of the pure electric version, the new car still offers three-door and five-door versions, which also means that there are more options than the pure electric version.

It is understood that the fuel version of MINI models will continue to be sold in the way of imports, that is to say, the price of new cars will be slightly higher than pure electric models. As a reference, the current MINI fuel version price range is 199,800 – 368,300 yuan, and the new model is expected to be listed on November 16.

As a replacement model, the new MINI is a fuel-powered model, but from the appearance of the new car, the new car basically continues the same shape of the pure electric version, and the whole car is obviously more concise, but the style still continues the classic design elements of the MINI family, such as round headlights, three-door body, contrasting color roof, and so on.

It is worth mentioning that this new car also offers the JCW version, which is what we call the performance version. The JCW version will be more aggressive in shape. The new car’s middle net is fully blackened, which is larger than the ordinary version. Therefore, the new car is more aggressive. However, whether it is the JCW version or the three-door version or the four-door version that is more suitable for home use, the new car uses larger-sized wheels, which greatly enhances the texture and performance of the new car.

In terms of size, the new MINI five-door fuel version has a length, width and height of 4036/1744/1464 mm, and a wheelbase of 2567 mm, which is close to the size of the previous model. After all, as a smaller model, the new car is not suitable for excessive size improvement. However, its wheelbase is 72 mm longer than the new MINI three-door fuel version, and the body is 172 mm longer.

In terms of interior, the new MINI three/five-door fuel version continues the design of the pure electric model, using a 240mm diameter bezel-less circular OLED display as the main information interaction system in the car, and is equipped with a HUD head-up display system. In addition, physical buttons and knobs are also retained under the central control screen.

As for power, the new MINI three/five-door fuel version continues to offer 1.5T and 2.0T engines for users to choose from. The MINI COOPER C version is equipped with a 1.5T three-cylinder gasoline engine with a maximum power of 115 kW; while the MINI COOPER S is equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 150 kW and a peak torque of 300 Nm. The new four-cylinder engine continues to be equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 170 kW and a peak torque of 380 Nm (60 Nm increase). The acceleration time of 0-100 km/h is 6.1 seconds.

Jetta: Perfect Concerto of Space and Comfort

In the vast world of automobiles, Jetta has always played a practical and comfortable gorgeous movement with its exquisite carving of space and unremitting pursuit of comfort. Today, let’s go deep into Jetta’s interior world, carefully explore its outstanding accomplishments in storage space, front seat space and rear seat space, and feel how it creates infinite comfort possibilities in a limited body.

When you gently open the door of Jetta, the first thing you see is the front seat space full of humanized design. Jetta’s seat, like a caring personal butler, is always ready to adjust its posture according to your needs. Its adjustment function is rich and accurate, sliding back and forth smoothly and unimpeded, the lifting range is just right, and the backrest inclination angle can respond to your instructions in microseconds. Take a man with a height of 1.88 meters and a strong figure as an example. When he leisurely sits in the driver’s seat and adjusts the seat to the most suitable driving position, he will be pleasantly surprised to find that there is still an open space between his head and the roof of the car, as if there is an endless blue sky above his head, and his thoughts are free to gallop, and he will not be bothered by the depressed atmosphere at all. The performance of the legroom is also remarkable. The ample stretching area keeps an elegant distance between the knees and the center console. During long-distance driving, the legs can stretch freely, the blood circulates freely, and the fatigue seems to be forgotten far away. The wrapping on both sides of the seat is like a gentle and powerful embrace. When the vehicle turns or changes lanes, it gives the driver just the right support, which will not be too tight, but also ensure the stability and safety of the body, making every driving a pleasure.

Slowly turn around and step into the back row of Jetta, which is a spacious and comfortable new world. The spaciousness of the legroom in the back row is beyond imagination. Passengers are like being in a VIP seat in a luxury cinema, and their legs can be stretched forward as much as they like. Even passengers with long legs do not have to compromise their long legs, and they can easily change various comfortable sitting postures for a long time. The layout of the horizontal space is full of Jetta’s atmospheric demeanor. Three adults sit side by side, leaving plenty of room for activities between their shoulders. The arms are placed naturally and casually, and there will be no embarrassment and embarrassment between them. The backrest angle of the rear seat has been carefully designed, which perfectly fits the natural curve of the human spine, providing solid and comfortable support for the waist, as if it were a skilled masseur, silently relieving fatigue for you during the journey. It is worth mentioning that the uplift of the middle part of Jetta’s rear floor is extremely low. Compared with many similar models, this design provides a more friendly resting place for the feet of the middle passengers, so that every rear passenger can enjoy an equal and comfortable ride experience.

However, the charm of Jetta is not limited to the spacious and comfortable seating space, but also unique in the creation of storage space, which can be called a mobile storage treasure house. The bottom of the center console is like an exquisite storage cube, and the open storage slot is like a small intimate drawer. Small things such as mobile phones, wallets and keys can find their own shelter here. The exquisite design of its depth and width ensures the stability and safety of the items during driving, and even in the face of bumpy road conditions, they will not easily slide or shift. The glove box is like a hidden treasure chest, with amazing volume and regular internal space. All kinds of important materials such as vehicle manuals, insurance documents and bills can be properly kept here, and at the same time, it can easily accommodate paper towels, wet wipes, snacks, small first aid kits and other necessary items for your trip, providing all-round protection. The storage compartment on the inside of the car door is like a long, narrow and deep treasure house, and its length and depth are enough to accommodate all kinds of beverage bottles, whether it is a slim mineral water bottle or a stout sports beverage can, it can firmly embrace it. In addition, the door storage compartment also reserves enough space for travel AIDS such as umbrellas, folding maps, small flashlights, car vacuum cleaners, etc., so that you can get them quickly and conveniently when you need them. The central armrest box is like a private and practical treasure box. The internal space layout is reasonable, and it can store valuable or common items such as wallets, documents and sunglasses. The lid of the armrest box is like a solid shield, which effectively blocks the outside world.Provide intimate security protection for your items.

Finally, let’s focus on Jetta’s remarkable trunk space. It’s like a magical space pocket, and the opening of the trunk is wide and regular, just like a grand door to the storage kingdom, which is convenient for you to easily carry items of various shapes and sizes. In daily urban life, its regular volume is enough to meet the transportation needs of big bags and small bags for family shopping, luggage and equipment for short trips on weekends and various small items. Imagine a happy family camping trip. Tents, sleeping bags, barbecue grills, ingredients, drinks and all kinds of outdoor products can be easily stored in Jetta’s trunk, adding endless convenience to your trip. When you are faced with special handling tasks, such as handling large furniture, sports equipment or bicycles, the function of Jetta’s rear seats that can be laid down in proportion will come into full play. With a slight operation, the rear seat will fall gracefully, and perfectly blend with the trunk floor, forming an almost flat and huge loading plane, as if it were a mobile big bed customized for you. Whether it is a slender club, a huge snowboard suit, or a large TV set, bookshelf and other furniture, you can find a suitable habitat in this spacious and regular space, which provides great convenience and possibility for your handling work.

Whether you are traveling through the busy city or galloping between the heavens and the earth in vast expanse, Jetta has become the most trustworthy partner in your journey with its excellent spatial performance, accompanying you through every wonderful journey and leaving countless beautiful memories.

Speaking of the latest hot new cars in the car circle, Zhiji LS7 must be one of them. The price of this car is in the range of 300,000-500,000. Compared with the ideal L7, Tucki G9 and Weilai ES7 of the same class, you will find that Zhiji LS7 has many advantages in configuration, space, price and driving control, which can be said to be the "new king" of domestic high-end intelligent pure electric SUV.

Thanks to its excellent product value, at present, the blind order of Zhiji LS7 has exceeded 12,000. "The order situation of Zhiji once again exceeded our expectations. official website and app were under great pressure in a short time, and there was a situation in which the webpage was stuck, which showed that users were very concerned about LS7." Tamia Liu, co-CEO of Zhiji, said.

So, what new height did Zhiji LS7 roll out the intelligent pure electric SUV? What kind of interpretation does Zhiji Automobile bring to the "involution" of today’s industry? In the dialogue with Tamia Liu, we found the answer.

We should not only be a "king of volume", but also be a "king of understanding"

Although in the eyes of many people, Zhiji LS7 is a new generation of high-end intelligent pure electric SUV, Tamia Liu has different views on it.

He believes: "Crazy price cuts, crazy involution, and all kinds of mixed products are madly grabbing the market, which is unhealthy competition. Because smart electric vehicles are a clear track, but the cognitive threshold is relatively high, a large number of brands and products flock in, and the market is mixed, which is not conducive to the development of the industry. "

Indeed, in China’s new energy market, not only the new car-making forces like "Wei Xiaoli" lay out high-end fields, but also the high-end brands created by traditional car companies like Zhiji, Lantu and Aouita challenge the new forces.

In order to seize the market, there are ways to win the attention by reducing prices or in disguised form. There are also the best SUVs within 500,000, 1 million, or even within 500 to gain attention through the stacking of various configurations and parameters.

Some consumers are caught in the "sweet trap" because of the "involution" propaganda of manufacturers. In the later car experience, it was found that it was not as good as the manufacturer advertised.

For example, a manufacturer advertised that its SUV products used the same magic chassis as Mercedes-Benz Maibakh GLS, but the actual experience found that the driving quality was not as "magical" as advertised by the manufacturer, and even the owner was "dry-exploded" when he met the air suspension when he passed the speed bump.

Why is this happening? Because it is also suspended, the top models of luxury brands use double-cavity or even three-cavity suspension, and they are also suppliers of international brands. However, many new domestic forces use single-cavity suspension and adopt domestic suppliers. At the same time, coupled with the gap in chassis adjustment technology, the effects of the two are naturally different. However, in the publicity, consumers only saw the marketing words of "Magic Chassis of the same paragraph as Mercedes-Benz Maibakh GLS".

In this regard, Tamia Liu believes that "having" does not mean being good, and "having everything" does not mean being "the best in everything". "A car that seems to be fully equipped is probably not a top car."

Therefore, in the product building of Zhiji LS7, Tamia Liu introduced Zhiji’s different attitude of "involution"-Zhiji wants "directional volume", "professional volume" and "extreme volume" instead of "blind volume".

First, the "extreme" volume.

Tamia Liu said, "Zhizhi has a professional insistence on using the best things to bring the best experience to users." This is the ultimate volume, and everything should be the best for users.

So, what is the best? Let’s take LS7 as an example.

First of all, on the chassis, Zhiji LS7 has an all-star chassis configuration. For example, the air suspension system, Zhiji LS7 adopts the continental air suspension system of the same series as Maserati Levante, and cooperates with the Damptronic I electromagnetic dynamic damping adjustment system of Germany Besten, which can continuously adjust the damping force of the shock absorber in milliseconds according to different road conditions and adapt to different driving scenarios.

It is worth mentioning that Zhiji LS7 adopts a new generation of patented closed air suspension system of Continental Group. Compared with the open structure, the adjustment speed of the closed suspension is 40% faster, the noise is more than 10dB lower than that of the open structure, the integration is higher, and the energy consumption of the motor is lower. At the same time, the continuous working performance of the closed suspension will not be attenuated, and it is not afraid of the thin air pressure on the plateau. It can always maintain full-performance work in any environment and has higher reliability.

"The domestic air spring is also very good, but it can’t meet the requirements of the high-end intelligent pure electric SUV, which is also the order of magnitude. Therefore, we would rather spend twice the price to choose the continental air spring. " Tamia Liu said: "As a 400,000-class high-end luxury SUV that pays attention to driving control, we must be responsible for the products and not fool users. This is the bottom line of values."

"For example, the cost of air springs in mainland Germany is twice that in China; For example, there are many levels of electromagnetic suspension. Those who really play the track and control know what Beishideng stands for, and those who really understand it naturally understand. " Tamia Liu affirmed that in terms of materials, Zhiji is absolutely willing to give up the cost.

In addition, in terms of braking system, Zhiji LS7 is equipped with the first four-piston fixed brake calipers of Brembo, Italy, and a high-performance large-size scribed ventilation disc (365mm in front and 376mm in back), which further improves the braking efficiency and heat dissipation effect. In addition, Zhiji LS7 is also equipped with the integrated Onebox braking system in Germany (which is also one of the most advanced electronic brake-by-wire systems at present), giving it strong braking capability.

According to the data given by Zhiji, the response time of 100Bar braking force generated by stepping on the foot is 150ms, and that of non-OneBox braking system is about 250ms, which shortens the time by 40%. The actual experience shows that the braking performance of Zhiji LS7 is really good, which also gives the driver the confidence to step on the switch deeply. At the same time, we can also see that Zhiji LS7 is specialized in driving experience.

In addition to the top-mounted chassis hardware, the front windshield of Zhiji LS7 adopts a rare three-layer silver plating process in the industry, and is made of the same glass material as the domestic large aircraft C919. At the same time, the whole vehicle has adopted 11 double-layer laminated sound insulation glass. According to Zhiji’s introduction, its NVH measured results are about 6dB ahead of the industry, and the maximum ear pressure is reduced by 50%. The dual lidar +Orin chip scheme in intelligent driving and the 8155 chip in intelligent cockpit are all top-level hardware configurations at present.

From the above configurations, we can all feel that the configuration of Zhiji LS7 is not only available, but also uses the top products in the industry, which is the embodiment of Zhiji’s "extreme volume".

As Liu Tao said: "Zhiji wants to be a high-end brand. We must never fool users with shoddy products. We will never sacrifice the user experience. This is the bottom line of Zhiji’s values." "Only using the best things will bring the best experience to users."

Second, the "professional" volume.

What is a "professional" volume? Tamia Liu’s explanation is: "In response to market competition, this volume will be rolled. However, the volume must have the underlying thinking and do something different. This is a professional volume. "

To put it simply, it is to provide users with the configurations they really need, not those configurations that look beautiful but are actually chicken ribs.

For example, regarding air suspension and four-wheel steering, Tamia Liu said that there are many brands who follow suit and think that high-class cars must be equipped with air springs, which can be said to be a kind of "ignorance".

Tamia Liu thinks: "The value of air spring in cars is relatively small, but it will reduce the feeling of driving control. And Zhiji L7 is a car, and the core label is driving control, so we chose four-wheel steering instead of air spring. "However, on the SUV of Zhiji LS7, we can see the configuration of air suspension to further improve the passability and comfort of SUV, which is the embodiment of confidant LS7 professional volume.

For example, the glove box was cancelled in the passenger position of Zhiji LS7, so that the seat can be stuffed in after folding. This practice can be said to be very bold and innovative. In this regard, Tamia Liu said: "Innovation is a balance, and the key to balance is trade-off. On the one hand, the thinking of folding the seat and canceling the glove box stems from the demands of users, on the other hand, it is the core of the overall product concept. "

"When we can really fold the seats in the concept car completely, the whole space will be completely magically redefined. The benefits of this matter far outweigh the loss of a glove box. " In Tamia Liu’s view, canceling the armrest box can bring more comfortable riding experience in the back row, which is far more valuable and meaningful than the storage function of the armrest box.

The actual experience is also true, because without the constraint of the armrest box, the zero-gravity seat of Zhiji LS7 can unlock the "lying mode". The angle of the zero-gravity seat in the rear row can be adjusted to a large lying angle of 155 at most, and the passenger can completely lie flat when the passenger is fully folded into a footstool. Long-distance driving is more comfortable for passengers.

Moreover, Zhiji LS7 did not lose the storage space in the car because there was no armrest box. Because the central armrest of Zhiji LS7, the mysterious space under the rear seat and the second floor of the trunk, including the storage box at the bottom of the screen, are used. In Tamia Liu’s words: "This completely exceeds the value of a glove box."

Therefore, Zhiji’s professional volume is the local volume of the volume, so that users can really feel the practicality of the configuration, rather than paying for some flashy configuration.

Third, the "oriented" volume.

"Zhiji’s brand positioning is a luxury electric car, and we must match it. Use our major to provide users with’ oriented volume where experience is king’ ". Tamia Liu said, Zhiji positioning high-end brand, the configuration must be top-matching, but the premise is that in the provision of configuration, Zhiji should proceed from the user’s perspective and fully verify the actual usage scenarios of users.

Tamia Liu takes the involution of current computing power as an example. "Is 4 pieces of Orin good?" In Tamia Liu’s view, simple computing power can’t solve the pain point of user experience.

"Computing power will make people who don’t understand feel very powerful, but behind it is power consumption; Moreover, if the communication between boards is not solved well, it will bring great challenges to data and software and bring more pain points to the user experience. Therefore, the real solution is to properly orient the volume and focus on the user experience. " Tamia Liu thinks.

In fact, this is reflected in many aspects of Zhiji LS7. For example, the electric door equipped by Zhiji LS7. According to Tamia Liu, "Zhiji LS7′ s main driving electric door has been verified by 1000 scenes, and it can adjust the opening angle in indoor parking lots, outdoor parking lots and scenes with cats, dogs and other animals outside the vehicle."

Another example is the half-width steering wheel of Zhiji LS7, which is matched with the lifting huge scene screen and the ice-sensitive front dome of Star Fall Star Waterfall, which not only makes the cockpit more scientific and technological, but also brings excellent vision. More importantly, if consumers don’t like the half-width steering wheel of Zhiji LS7, Zhiji can also choose the traditional round steering wheel for free.

To sum up, Zhiji is not blindly piling up the configuration, but starting from the user’s experience, bringing users a more extreme and professional car experience. It can be seen that Zhiji is not only a "king of volume", but also a "king of understanding", and truly understands the needs of users. This is also a new force created by Zhiji as a traditional brand, which shows different car-making concepts or involution attitudes.

The essence of involution is a profound PK.

Talking about this, some people may question: the configuration level of Zhiji LS7 is so high, and it is supplied by first-line international brands. Everything is the best, so the cost must be not low. Tamia Liu also gave us a detailed answer to this question.

First of all, it is the support of scale effect.

In Tamia Liu’s view, the automobile industry is a scale effect. It is also a strong demand of the market if the quantity is quickly made to a suitable scale and the price control ability is increased.

Take LS7′ s oversized front dome glass as an example. Tamia Liu said that its cost is indeed more expensive than ordinary glass, but if it is scaled up, the cost will soon come down. Another example is the screen. Because of the previous cooperation experience with Zhiji, suppliers have more confidence in Zhiji. They actively provide screen solutions with higher definition, higher color resolution and better interactive experience, but the cost is lower than before.

However, Tamia Liu also admitted to us that the cost of LS7 is definitely not low, but it also shows that Zhiji is a real conscience. As Liu Tao said: "What we hope is that users can directly perceive the value content of high-end configuration by experiencing Zhiji LS7, and know the brand of Zhiji that is hard to get back once experienced and used."

Secondly, Zhizhi is not "blind".

As we mentioned earlier, Zhiji is not a "blind roll", but an extreme roll, a directional roll, and a professional roll. It is not blindly piling up configurations for users, but based on user experience, providing users with configurations that are really useful and deeply felt.

As Tamia Liu said, "It is important to choose the right high-tech new technology for this product, which will also increase the price controllability."

Finally, it comes from the strong system advantages of SAIC.

Tamia Liu said that Zhiji Automobile has a strong domestic high-end supply chain system relying on the system advantages of SAIC. For example, Huayu Vision, the best car light company in the world; Yanfeng, the world’s largest supplier of interior solutions, and Natiefu transmission shaft (with a market share of over 50% in China) are important industry endorsements for building the strong product strength of Zhiji LS7.

In this regard, Tamia Liu confidently said: "With the empowerment of SAIC, Zhiji can get the best things at the most suitable cost."

To some extent, the internal details of the enterprise determine the height of the product involution, and with a strong supplier system, Zhiji Automobile can enable users to obtain higher product value than competing products at the same level at a more sincere price.

However, as a smart person empowered by SAIC, Ali and Zhangjiang, its advantages in background and system strength are not just suppliers.

1. Production capacity.Tamia Liu said that the high probability of production capacity is the most confident thing for Chi Ji. SAIC produces and sells 67 million vehicles a year, and its supply chain capability is among the best in the world. Including Huayu Automobile and many lighthouse factories, all gave the green light to Zhiji Automobile and gave the best resources to Zhiji.

2. Marketing.At present, the blind order of Zhiji LS7 exceeds expectations, and the sales consultant of the terminal is immediately tight. Tamia Liu revealed to us that from December 20th to February 10th, the number of transformations was several times higher than that of last year through promotion and live broadcast.

In addition, in the configuration of the user research team, Zhiji Automobile has reached a rare 400 people in the industry.

3. Sales channels."Zhiji will accelerate the construction of channels in the future." According to Tamia Liu, Zhiji has about 120 experience and delivery centers. Because the channel has great inertia, once the market fluctuates and the sales volume does not match the channel, there will be great pressure, so Zhiji was somewhat conservative in the channel before.

According to the plan, the target of Zhiji is 240 by the end of this year, and Zhiji is confident to open 180 to 190 before June 30, and a large number of second-tier cities will be covered.

4. Team organization.Tamia Liu said that at present, the product team and management team at the headquarters have also made very strict arrangements and deployments. Once a city’s staffing reaches its peak or users can’t be received, the headquarters team will fly there immediately, so that they can know more about the products and receive them more professionally.

5. Product planning.In addition to the current Zhiji L7 and Zhiji LS7, Tamia Liu revealed to us that in the second half of the year, Zhiji will also launch a brand-new medium-sized SUV to benchmark Model Y..

As for other more compact models, Zhiji also has corresponding plans. According to Tamia Liu, the third car and the fourth car mainly target Model Y and Model 3；; The fifth car is more about thinking about the future and the solution.

With the launch of L7 and LS7, and the arrival of the third model in the second half of the year, Zhiji also has higher goals in 2023. Tamia Liu introduced that in 2023, Zhiji Automobile hopes to achieve sales of 45,000 vehicles.

But regarding the sales volume, Tamia Liu thinks that as a new brand, although sales volume is important, it is not so important compared with the early product value. With the gradual enrichment of Zhiji automobile model array, the growth of sales volume is also a matter of course. "In the long run, Zhiji hopes to achieve a sales scale of 200,000-300,000 vehicles in 2025."

For this goal, Tamia Liu thinks it is not difficult. In his view, Zhiji is still in a developing stage, and the empowerment advantages of SAIC, Ali and Zhangjiang have not been fully reflected in the case that only one product entered the market last year. At the same time, the potential energy accumulated by enterprises in users will also become an important kinetic energy for brand development in the next 3-5 years.

In other words, under the impetus of system strength and user reputation, Zhiji has great explosive power. The blind order of Zhiji LS7 exceeding 12,000 vehicles also proves that Zhiji will be a dark horse with potential.

　　For logistics practitioners, to improve transportation efficiency, it is inseparable from the help of transportation vehicles. Compared with other models, new energy light vans are widely used in the freight field with large space and strong power. Especially at the moment of high oil prices, the demand for light vans in the logistics and distribution industry is also increasing. However, which light van is better? Today, through the comparison of two popular new energy light vans, let’s see which one is more worthy of starting: SAIC Chase’s big V1 or Geely Remote Star Enjoy V6E PLUS.

SAIC Chase MAXUS wins V1

　　Dana V1Light vanHigher space utilization rate

　　In order to improve transportation efficiency and reduce transportation time, a light van that can carry more goods is very heavy. So, let’s compare the spatial performance of the two cars first.

　　The interior volume of Montana V1 car reaches 7.3m3 While ensuring the large loading capacity, there is also a 520mm ultra-low floor with a straight container partition design, which improves the utilization rate of space.

Dana V1

　　Geely Remote Star enjoys the car content of V6E PLUS with a volume of 7m3+, which is slightly inferior to that of Montana V1.

　　Geely remote xingxiang V6E PLUS

　　While ensuring a large space, Montana V1 is still an intellectual school. The car is not only equipped with a cool seven-inch LCD dashboard, but also comes standard with reversing images. It also has the industry’s first "non-inductive" interactive design, which is powered on when you sit down, and coupled with the AI assistant "Xiaotong classmate" who supports full-scene voice interaction to share goods and traffic information in real time, making driving more convenient and efficient.

　　Dana V1Light van has better endurance.

　　Judging whether a new energy vehicle is worth starting with, its endurance is also a key consideration. Montana V1 is equipped with lithium iron phosphate battery, and the cruising range under CLTC can reach 305km. Coupled with the DC charging mode, it takes only 45 minutes to charge from 5% to 80%, with long battery life and fast charging function, so that there is no mileage anxiety in transportation. Geely’s long-range star enjoys a cruising range of about 240km.

　　While ensuring excellent battery life, the dynamic performance of Montana V1 is also remarkable. With the help of 90kW high-power electric drive, this car has a maximum power of 90kW and a peak torque of 190 N m.. At the same time, it is also equipped with the only electronic gear in its class, which supports three driving modes: ECO, NORMAL and SPORT, with a maximum speed of 100 km/h. Excellent in power performance and driving control.

　　Therefore, whether it is loading space, endurance, intelligent configuration, shelf control experience, etc., from the two aspects of endurance and loading capacity alone, the advantages of holding V1 are more obvious. At the same time, it also has an eye-catching shape, and the design aesthetics of "Fiona Fang’s integration" is unforgettable. As a light van with comprehensive performance, its strength does not stop there. Interested friends can go to official website to learn more. In addition, the starting price of Montana V1 is 153,800 yuan, and now there is a financial discount of up to 4,000 yuan and a four-fold gift. Interested parties can consult local dealers in detail.

　　[car home Che Ku Wen Hua] On the 16th of this month, Chang ‘an (|) was officially launched, which was the first time that the Explorer model was made in China. I believe many of my friends are like me. Because the explorers didn’t import much into China before, they are not very familiar with this car system. I have the impression that it is a big guy who looks very expensive. The reason why Changan Ford made it in China must be something extraordinary, so what is the good thing? We have to talk about it slowly from its ancestors …

The first generation (1990-1994): Shuangmen is the root of Miaohong.

　　Ford Explorer is defined as a medium and large SUV in China. As soon as we hear this name, a huge figure will appear in our minds, just like the image of the American fat man in the movie. But you may not know that as early as 1990, when the first generation of explorers came out, it was actually to replace a compact SUV: at that time, in order to better compete with rivals Chevrolet S-10 Blazer and Jeep Cherokee, Ford planned to introduce a larger SUV model to replace its compact SUV-Ford Bronco II, so there was Ford Explorer, whose name came from the Ford F-series pickup truck in 1967- In the early years, many American brands loved to do this. A certain model in a certain car series sold well, so the next car series was named after this model. For example, the new Focus automatic front-shining model sells well. Let’s get a new car another day, and call it Ford front-shining!

　　As mentioned earlier, Ford Explorer appeared to replace its predecessor, the two-door SUV Bronco II, so the younger generation certainly has to be two-door. So, the explorer who is rooted in Miaohong turned out to be a two-door SUV. Surely you didn’t expect it? Considering the diversified needs of the market, Ford also launched a four-door version for explorers. Of course, that’s what the Mandarin says. Personally, I guess the more important reason is to compete with rivals: Cherokee was listed in 1984 with two-door and four-door versions, and Chevrolet S-10 Blazer also launched a four-door version when it was redesigned in March 1990. Ford Explorer just went on the market in March 1990, and there were four editions. What a coincidence?

　　The first generation Explorer two-door version is much larger than the last Bronco II (the wheelbase is increased by 205mm and the vehicle length is increased by 320mm), and it has become a medium-sized SUV. The four-door version is even better, with a wheelbase of 2842mm and a vehicle length of 4618mm respectively, which completely surpasses the two competitors. In order to save costs, explorers shared a lot of parts with Ford Ranger, a pickup truck at that time, from bumper to middle net, headlights and fenders … almost the whole front of the car was transplanted from Ranger. In terms of power, it also shares the V6 4.0L engine used by Ranger, with a maximum power of 116 kW, matching two gearboxes: 5-speed manual gearbox and 4-speed automatic gearbox. In 1993, the engine was changed, and the maximum power was raised to 119 kW.

The second generation (1994-2000): a new car series was derived.

　　In 1994, Ford introduced the 1995 Explorer, the second generation model. The change of this generation can be described as drastic. First of all, the appearance is no longer as square as that of the first generation model, and many arc lines have been added to the front face, such as the corners of the net, headlights and bumpers, which have become more rounded. Although the two generations of cars are only separated by four years, it seems to be the design of two eras.

　　Secondly, the change of body shape. The first generation of explorers sold well for several years, and Ford seemed to realize that SUVs had to be big to be popular in the environment at that time. As a result, the second-generation models continue to gain weight. Although the wheelbase of the two-door and four-door versions has been reduced by about 10mm compared with the first generation, the length of the car has increased (the two-door version has increased by 104mm, and the four-door version has increased by 163mm), and there is a tendency to continue to gain weight in the later small changes. At this time, the explorers have completely left the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer and Jeep Cherokee behind. From this generation, you can choose to install the third row of seats, which will become a seven-seat car.

　　The third change is the chassis. Ford’s original Twin I-Beam independent suspension is used in the front suspension of the first generation of explorers. This suspension is characterized by heavy load bearing and strong reliability, but it will occupy more chassis space. The second generation of explorers gave up the double-beam and replaced it with a double-wishbone independent suspension. On the one hand, this structure improved the handling of the vehicle, and at the same time greatly saved the space under the engine compartment. As mentioned earlier, the shortened wheelbase of 10mm was also caused by a new suspension. Therefore, Ford Explorer added a larger V8 5.0L engine when it was redesigned in 1996-finally there was room for it!

　　The last item is the change in vehicle classification: since 1998, Ford has classified the two-door Explorer into a single car series, Explorer Sport, and continued to use the chassis production of Ford Ranger, but it was not continued until 2003. At the same time, based on the four-door version of Explorer, a medium-sized pickup truck, Explorer Sport Trac, has been launched in two generations: the first generation in 2000-2005, and the second generation in 2005-2010 after a year of suspension. After production stopped in 2010, the four-door Ford Ranger took its place.
