　　On the 19th local time, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree and approved the new version of the basic policy of Russian nuclear deterrent country. The decree will take effect from the date of signing.

　　It is understood that this new version of the policy has expanded the scope of countries and military alliances that Russia can implement nuclear deterrence.Any non-nuclear country’s aggression against Russia with the participation or support of nuclear countries is regarded as a "joint attack" against Russia. In addition, Russia will consider the possibility of using nuclear weapons when it receives reliable information that air and space attack weapons are concentrated and cross the Russian border.

　　Putin emphasized that these weapons include strategic aircraft, tactical aircraft, cruise missiles, drones and other aircraft.In addition, Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons when Russia and its ally Belarus are invaded, including when the enemy’s use of conventional weapons poses an "extreme threat" to its sovereignty.

　　What is the basic policy of Russia’s new nuclear deterrent country?

　　According to the information released by the Russian government, according to the new basic policy of nuclear deterrent countries, Russia can use nuclear weapons in the following situations:

　　1.When other countries use nuclear weapons or weapons of mass destruction against Russia;

　　2.When Russia and Belarus are invaded, including when the enemy’s use of conventional weapons poses an "extreme threat" to sovereignty;

　　3.When Russia obtains reliable information that ballistic missiles against Russia or its allies have been launched;

　　4.When Russian facilities or military personnel outside Russia are attacked by weapons of mass destruction;

　　5.When Russia obtains reliable information indicating that the enemy has launched a large-scale air and space attack, such as strategic bombers, tactical aircraft, cruise missiles, drones and other aircraft;

　　6.Attacks on Russia’s key military and state facilities may cause the counterattack of Russian nuclear forces to be interrupted.

　　Putin once emphasize that nuclear weapons are that ultimate mean to ensure national security.

　　On October 29th, Putin attended the Russian military strategic nuclear power exercise via video link. Putin said that nuclear weapons are the ultimate means to ensure national security, and the trinity nuclear strike force is a reliable guarantee to ensure Russia’s sovereignty and security.

　　Putin pointed out that Russia will not be involved in the arms race, but will maintain its nuclear power at the necessary level.

　　Putin said that the modernization rate of Russian nuclear forces is about 94%, and Russia "has sufficient resources to continue to improve its strategic nuclear deterrent."

　　The timing of Putin’s approval of the new national policy of nuclear deterrence deserves attention.

　　On November 17th, local time, The New York Times and other media quoted American officials and sources as saying that the US government had allowed Ukraine to use American-made weapons such as Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) to attack Russian deep targets. This means that after repeatedly rejecting Uzbekistan’s long-term appeal, the Democratic government, which will leave office two months later, has made a major shift in its policy on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

　　In this regard, Bondarev, the first vice-chairman of the National Defense and Security Committee of the Russian Federation Council (the upper house of parliament), said on November 18th that Russia has enough advanced means to repel attacks from any type of weapons, including long-range weapons. The updated version of Russian nuclear doctrine elaborates the consequences of the possible launch of long-range weapons from Ukraine or abroad, and the intelligence departments and decision-making centers in the United States and Europe have already known this updated version of nuclear doctrine.

　　On the same day, Russian Presidential Press Secretary peskov responded that Putin had previously explained that the so-called "allowing Ukraine to use long-range weapons provided by the West to attack Russia", in fact, only NATO countries’ troops could operate these long-range weapons, and in this way, the way NATO countries participated in the conflict "will fundamentally change".

　　Peskov refers to Putin who told Russian media in St. Petersburg on September 12 this year, "If NATO countries allow Ukraine to use its modern long-range precision weapon system to carry out strikes, it will mean that NATO countries directly participate in the conflict, which means that the United States and European countries are at war with Russia — — If this is the case, considering the change in the nature of this conflict, Russia will make appropriate decisions according to the threats it faces.

I used to want to own a car with a "square box" shape, that is, Mercedes-Benz G, Jeep, Old Land Rover and other models can satisfy you, but the high price is not affordable for every consumer. But in the new energy era, it is different. Since the fire broke out, the "square box" has sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and for a time it has made everyone entangled. Today, Xicone will take stock of the new energy "square box" cars currently on the market.

West cone said:Although this car has no off-road ability at all, it has a decent sales performance just because its shape is good enough. It can sell well, of course, not only in appearance, but also in endurance of more than 300km and support for fast charging, which is undoubtedly a good thing for single men and women who like to drive. It is more cost-effective than public transportation, and more importantly, it is free and convenient. Of course, there is another car in this price model, Geely Panda Knight, and its launch is also affected.

West cone said:This "domestic hard-core cross-country ceiling" will naturally appear in today’s list. For a full-size hard-core, it is terrible to accelerate 100 kilometers for 3 seconds. There are also selling points, such as turning around in place, "when the ship sails", driving with a flat tire, and "walking sideways". It has six core technical blessings, namely, Easy Sifang, Yunqi, blade battery, super body, intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving assistance. This technical strength is leading in the global automobile market. The disadvantage is that it is too expensive for me to buy.

West cone said:The topic of this car was quite hot some time ago, and the fuel consumption incident did not affect its sales too much. On the contrary, it overtook the "tank brothers" at the last minute in December, which really hit many netizens’ faces. At present, Leopard 5 has not yet started to deliver the cloud version. When the cloud version has been delivered normally next year, it is estimated that the gap will continue to widen. This car can fire, in addition to the shape, of course, the product strength is indispensable. Taking BYD’s latest DM-o hybrid system for the first time, the fuel economy and performance can be better balanced; Equipped with the same cloud web P system as looking up at U8; Body +3 locks +CTC body chassis integration technology, etc., less than 300,000 can be bought, which is really attractive.

West cone said:In fact, the tank 400Hi4-T is very similar to the tank 500Hi4-T in terms of hardware, but it is a little different in style. The 400 takes the science fiction style of the mecha and the 500 takes the luxury style. The cross-country ability is similar, but the size 500 will be bigger. If you just want to buy off-road vehicles and go for a break, it is obviously more cost-effective to count the price of the tank 400Hi4-T. After all, it is cheaper than 50,000 yuan in the case of similar hardware foundation, not that 500 can’t afford it, but 400 is more cost-effective.

West cone said:Raptors can also be regarded as an important strategic model of Haval brand’s new energy transformation, and its versatility, economy, comfort and intelligence are all its selling points.

The full LCD instrument and the central control large screen are not only large enough in size but also delicate in display effect. The car adopts a new generation of Coffee OS 2 system, and its functionality and operational fluency have reached the mainstream level. There is still flexibility in the space in the back row, and it is not impossible to drive it directly to live in a sojourn. It may be a pity that the design is similar to the dog category and has not formed its own unique design style.

West cone said:Positioning medium and large off-road, and calling itself "outdoor daddy car". The exterior looks very much like Land Rover, and the interior obviously imitates the ideal refrigerator and color TV sofa. Of course, I think the selling point of this car is to move the kitchen into the compartment. A kitchen system can be optionally installed at the tailgate, including a bar, a small table that can be removed, a pop-up instant water dispenser, and tableware storage. There is also a 2.2kW external discharge port, and it is not a problem to connect kitchen utensils such as an induction cooker and an air fryer. It’s just that who would really buy a car and go camping and cooking? On one hand, if I had this budget, I wouldn’t dare to buy a car made by the sweeping robot company, not to mention that it is still manufactured by Beijing Automobile Factory. Accordingly, I dare not buy Xiaomi car.

Poster of the movie "Gong Shou Dao"

1905 movie network news On October 28th, Ma Yun put up a movie poster on his personal Weibo, accompanied by the meaningful words "that night, that dream", and officially announced the news that he appeared in the movie "Gong Shou Dao". In this movie "Gong Shou Dao", which is a call for China Kung Fu Taiji, many Chinese Kung Fu stars, including Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung, Cheng Xiaodong, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Jason Wu, Zou Shiming, Chao Qinglong, Tony Jia, Xiang Zuo and Liu Chengyu, as well as boxing and wrestling athletes, are gathered.

The truth of the photo taken by Donnie Yen Sun’s three brothers turned out to be "Offensive and Defending Road"

　

In mid-September, Donnie Yen posted a photo on social media, saying: Today, the weather is sunny, so let’s share it with you: three "incompatible" people got together and got together again! And with his photo with Jet Li and Jason Wu. Now it seems that the three people at that time should be at the scene of "Offensive and Defending Road". Then, in a video posted on the Internet, Ma Yun, Yuan Heping, Jet Li, Jason Wu and others also specially held a Party to celebrate the 14th anniversary of Donnie Yen’s marriage, and everyone even shouted as a joke, wishing them a "happy wedding". As soon as the news came out, the posture of the three brothers working together made the media speculate that they were going to "do big things." Before this, the rumored three people were not in the news, and they were also shattered in one fell swoop.

Donnie Yen takes photos on social media.

Donnie Yen, Jet Li and Jason Wu took a group photo.

In the online interview of the movie "Chasing the Dragon", some netizens asked Donnie Yen: "What’s the name of the new movie with Jet Li and Jason Wu? How is the current progress? " Donnie Yen’s answer is "wait for Mr. Jet Li to announce it, soon!" There is a light cloud between the lines. Jet Li, Donnie Yen and Jason Wu, as the three generations of Beijing Wushu Team, their joint efforts are full of expectations. I didn’t expect that Ma Yun finally announced that the three of them would co-star in Offensive and Defending Road.

Donnie Yen Weibo responded to questions from netizens.

Stars gather for zero pay and work together to promote Wushu culture

It is reported that the assembled 11 top stars, including Yuan Heping, Sammo Hung, Cheng Xiaodong, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, Jason Wu and Zou Shiming, all played for nothing. The main purpose of the film "Attack and Defend the Road" is to promote China Wushu, share China culture with the world and convey China’s cultural self-confidence. It is precisely because of this motivation that we can gather in the "Top Super-luxury Kung Fu Group" that has never been seen before. Ma Yun, who also participated in the performance for zero pay, and many superstars all hope that through continuous efforts, China Kung Fu will be more widely promoted to the world.

It is reported that the film "Offensive and Defending Road" will be released on November 11, 2017.

[China Green Hair News] Cigarette cards are popular on campus at present, which makes primary school students addicted to them. Playing with cigarette cards has become a trend involving countless primary school students.

The "cigarette card" is made of discarded cigarette cases. Tear off the cigarette case cover, fold it into a rectangular card, put it on the ground, hit the ground with the empty palm, and win if it is hit by the palm wind. Whoever has a higher cigarette card level will have the show-off capital of the game. The more expensive the cigarette case, the more popular the "cigarette card".

With the popularity of cigarette card games, in order to get more materials for making cigarette cards, many students choose to buy them in nearby shops and online, or even rummage in the trash can or ask strangers for them. Under this wind, the heart of comparison is also spreading, and its disadvantages are gradually emerging.

(expand reading:Obsessed with "cigarette card" and dragging parents to buy cigarettes | Tobacco control case 028)

Therefore, parents, schools, media and children’s education experts are all worried about the popularity of cigarette card games, hoping to strengthen the guidance and supervision of the game under the appeal of many parties.

When the heart of comparison can’t be satisfied through normal channels, even more terrible things happen. The cigarette card game triggered a theft of minors.

On July 4, in a community in southern Sichuan, six minors sneaked into the home of a local merchant in order to obtain a cigarette card, stole more than 60,000 yuan of high-grade cigarettes, and discarded all the cigarettes after taking off the cigarette card.

(Video screenshot: pepper information)

In addition, some media reported that "cigarette cards" have been upgraded to "gambling"-everyone bets first, and the losing students should give the corresponding number of "cigarette cards" to the winning party, or they can directly give cash or other items.

Moreover, tobacco card games can make children come into frequent contact with tobacco products. For teenagers with immature cognition, premature contact with tobacco products may induce them to be curious about tobacco and join the ranks of smoking, which will do great harm to their physical and mental health.

As a result, behind a small "cigarette card", the harm that may be caused by juvenile delinquency, gambling and premature exposure to tobacco products is coming into reality, which is enough to arouse great concern and attention from the society.

In recent months, many actions have been taken at the national and local levels in response to the harm caused by tobacco cards. In May 2024, the Office of the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau issued the "Notice on Carrying out Special Treatment to Protect Minors from Electronic Cigarettes", which requires that local tobacco monopoly bureaus should cooperate with market supervision departments to dissuade convenience stores, supermarkets, cultural and sports goods stores around the campus from selling cigarette cases, cigarette cards and other items to minors. Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shenzhen and other places should tighten the responsibility of territorial supervision, adopt administrative interviews, send supervision letters, etc., and require local Internet companies to independently clean up product information such as electronic cigarettes and cigarette cards, and shut down illegal sales shops.

Despite various measures, the craze for cigarette card games has not completely subsided, and primary school students can still buy cigarette cards through the Internet or other online trading channels. Under the rule that cigarettes are more expensive and cigarettes have more "gold content", more children are eager to get high-end cigarette cards, and they will not hesitate to steal them to achieve their goals, which is very embarrassing.

In my opinion, the smoke card game is similar to the picture we played when we were young, and there is nothing wrong with the game itself. Only with the continuous upgrading and evolution of the rules of the game, the value of cigarette cards has been given a hierarchy corresponding to the market price of cigarettes, which has increased the psychology of blind comparison among children, thus deriving a series of worrying phenomena. To prevent children from indulging in cigarette cards, it is necessary to educate both families and schools, and to combine unblocking and blocking.

First of all, all localities should focus on special rectification actions. It is forbidden to sell cigarette cases, cigarette cards and other items to minors in convenience stores, supermarkets, cultural and sports goods stores around the campus. It is forbidden to sell "cigarette cards" through online channels. Once found, severe punishment should be given. At the same time, complaint channels should be unblocked, and social supervision should be better utilized to carry out the management of cigarette cards.

Secondly, for schools and parents, we should gradually divert children’s attention to tobacco cards through alternative games with more positive functions or other activities beneficial to physical and mental health, for example, by telling the harm of tobacco card games, strengthening positive guidance and education, weakening children’s enthusiasm for tobacco cards in a step-by-step way, and finally getting rid of their obsession with tobacco cards.

The "cigarette stealing incident" has issued a warning, and it is urgent to crack down on the "cigarette card".

"I said in August this year that the 17-year-old good product is facing the most difficult challenge since its establishment. At the moment, this challenge is still intensifying. "

At the end of November this year, Yang Yinfen, the newly appointed chairman and general manager of Liangpin Store, bluntly stated the difficulties encountered by the company in an open letter.

Once the "first share of high-end snacks" was no longer covered up, and even decided to "self-degrade".

The first thing Yang Yinfen did when he took office was to reduce the average price of 300 products of Liangpin Store by 22%, with the highest drop of 45%, involving nuts, preserved meat and other categories. The stores with trial operation told Tech Planet that the price reduction measures have achieved initial results, which will bring more passengers and even new customers to the stores without reducing the unit price of customers.

Behind the price reduction of good shops, the impact pressure brought by snack discount stores is inseparable. This new species that has sprung up suddenly has landed in nearly 10,000 stores this year.

The year-on-year decline in revenue and the rapid expansion of snack discount stores are telling good shops that they are getting farther and farther away from the real consumer demand.

The largest price reduction of "the first share of high-end snacks" in 17 years

In Huang Xinyi’s memory, Liangpin Store is the first snack collection store in their county, which is located at the crossroads in the center of the county. All snacks can be bought at random, which became a trend at that time. "Since I had a good shop, my mother didn’t take me to the supermarket to buy snacks every New Year," Huang Xinyi recalled.

But this "family tradition" has changed since last year. After snack discount stores have blossomed everywhere in the county, good shops are no longer the place to buy snacks in Huang Xinyi. "With the same budget, snack shops can buy two bags, but good shops can only buy one bag," Huang Xinyi told Tech Planet.

Expensive, become the most obvious label of good shop now. Yang Yinfen, chairman and general manager of Liangpin Store, confronted this problem in an internal open letter. "The reality that consumers think we are expensive also shows that the price of our products must be more close to the people."

The biggest price reduction measure in 17 years is to face the problem directly. This is Yang Yinfen’s first business-side measure after taking office. The average price reduction of 300 products is 22%, with the highest drop of 45%.

A month ago, good shops have implemented price reduction measures in Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places. Tech Planet found in a good shop in Shanghai that the price-cut goods will be presented in the form of membership price, and the original price will be specially marked on the label.

It is estimated that nearly 40% of the goods in the store have been reduced in price, and the reduced-price goods are concentrated in nuts, preserved fruits, meat and some bread cakes.

The manager of the good shop told Tech Planet that every winter, nuts and meat are the best sellers, and then the Spring Festival is superimposed. Nuts are the focus of new year’s goods. "Nuts are very dry, and no one will eat them in summer."

Macadamia nuts, pecans, almonds, pine nuts, pistachios, cashews, etc. are all important in the price reduction of good shops. Obviously, good shops hope to reappear in consumers’ living rooms during the Spring Festival.

However, compared with snack discount stores such as Zhao Yiming and Snacks Youming, in the dimension of price, the good shops after price reduction still have no advantage. Tech Planet compares the prices of some goods in the same category and finds that the prices of preserved fruits and meat in good shops can reach the same level, but there is still a certain price difference in nut categories.

Legend: Price comparison of brands in the same category.

However, no one will refuse the promotion. Whether in Shanghai or Hangzhou, people have returned to the stores of good shops for the sake of price reduction. "There are still quite a lot of people who come to buy membership-priced goods every day," Zhang Ji, a clerk at a good shop in Hangzhou, told Tech Planet. Moreover, to her surprise, this price cut did not bring about a decline in the unit price of customers.

According to the data of Narrow-door Dining Eye, the customer unit price of good shops is 55.83 yuan, while snacks are busy at 38.79 yuan, and Zhao Yiming is in 37 yuan.

"As long as customers who come to the store can’t just buy goods at reduced prices, they will buy some other goods," Zhang Ji told Tech Planet. "We will also recommend best-selling snacks to customers."

"Price-cutting goods are actually a drainage function to attract customers to the store," the clerk of the good shop told Tech Planet. This is the most desirable result for good shops.

When high-end snacks are only "expensive"

"The store’s business is not bad," Zhang Ji told Tech Planet. "It’s basically flat every month." But she is one of the lucky few.

The revenue of good shops has declined year-on-year for five consecutive quarters. In the third quarter of this year, good shops sold 2.013 billion yuan, down 4.53% compared with the same period last year. As of September this year, in nine months, good shops sold 5.999 billion yuan, down 14.33% compared with the same period last year.

Compared with no one to sell, the net profit of good shops has a bigger problem. In the third quarter of this year, the net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 1,998,400 yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 97.88%.

For the sharp decline in profits in the third quarter, good shops are attributed to the increase in labor and rental expenses and the fluctuation of gross profit margin corresponding to newly opened direct stores. In the past three months, Liangpin Store has opened 145 direct stores, and the number of franchised stores is 146.

This also means that not only consumers, but franchisees are also "abandoning" good shops.

One contrast is that there were only 1,000 Zhao Yiming snacks in February this year, and now there are 2,600 stores in China. The number of stores with busy snacks even exceeds 4,000.

Central China is the base camp of good shops, and nearly half of them are located in Hunan, Hubei and Henan. In this year, the "Snacks Busy" that started in Hunan has entered Hubei, the birthplace of good shops.

"Before this year, snack discount stores all expanded their stores in their own areas, and no one dared to go to Hubei to explore the market," a snack track practitioner told Tech Planet. "Everyone knows that old brands will have geographical advantages."

The impact of new species on good shops has become more intuitive. They open stores near good shops and attract young people in small towns with bright doors and big slogans of "Good Cheap".

Zhang Ji told Tech Planet that there was a snack discount store not far from the store. "It is impossible to say that it has no impact. It must be affecting the business in the store."

As a matter of fact, good shops and new species snack discount stores are both snack collection shops, doing channel business. However, good shops go further upstream, often customizing products with factories, and even cooperating with factories for exclusive products in individual categories. And snack discount stores stay more in the selection. In snack discount stores, each snack has its own brand, and related brands can be searched in e-commerce channels.

Relatively speaking, on the product side, good shops need to have more cost input. Moreover, good shops that have taken the high-end snack route since 2019 have almost strict requirements on raw materials.

Zhao Xin’s factory is to supply nuts to good shops. He told Tech Planet that good shops want the highest specifications and the highest quality raw materials in the factory. "OEM processing, we are all based on customer budgets, what price products we want, and what price we can provide."

There are also suppliers of seafood products who tell Tech Planet that good shops are looking for the goods they want, and the general brands can’t do this price. "They are strict with every link and the production process is exclusively customized."

However, the price reduction of the good shop has not affected Zhao Xin yet. He told Tech Planet that the ex-factory price they gave to the good shops remained unchanged. "This price reduction has not been compressed to our upstream, and the supply price has been discussed for a long time. There is no way to reduce the raw materials of this grade." On the consumer side, the price of this product has dropped from 138 yuan to 103 yuan per session.

Standing four years ago, there was nothing wrong with the high-end strategy of the good shop. However, at the moment when consumers are becoming more rational, the so-called ultimate pursuit of quality by good shops seems to be "going against the trend".

Good shops may be wrong in not keeping up with the needs of consumers and turning in time, which also makes good shops fall into today’s predicament.

Parity becomes a trend.

A year ago, three squirrels also announced their entry into "low price" with the strategy of "high-end cost performance". Zhang Liaoyuan, the founder of the three squirrels, once again posted in the circle of friends that he had been implementing the strategy of "high-end cost performance" after the price reduction was announced by the good shop.

However, the low price seems to have failed to save three squirrels. In the first nine months of this year, good shops sold nearly 6 billion snacks, while three squirrels only sold 4.582 billion, and revenue was also declining year-on-year.

With the change of consumption environment and the surprise attack of new species, the former snack giants now have their own difficulties, and the reality has led them to the road of "low price".

But moving towards low prices also means that they have to compete directly with retail discount stores. The former snack giants need more stores as strongholds to compete with them.

On December 3rd, Zhang Liaoyuan, the founder of Three Squirrels, announced in a circle of friends that the number of offline stores of Three Squirrels has exceeded 150. Before that, three squirrels closed hundreds of stores.

Since the beginning of this year, the stores of good shops have also been in the adjustment stage of opening while opening, and the expansion speed of stores has been slow.

In the past three months, 246 good shops have closed their stores, including direct operation and joining, and 291 new ones have been opened. This means that in three months, only 45 good shops have been added in China. Among the newly opened stores, direct sales and franchise each accounted for half, and the proportion of direct sales stores increased from 37.07% at the end of the second quarter to 39.32%.

In contrast, snacks are busy, Zhao Yiming and other snack discount stores are expanding their stores quickly, and the track has entered the merger stage.

In November, Snacks was very busy and strategically merged with Zhao Yiming Snacks. After the merger, the total number of stores reached more than 6500. And two months ago, Wanchen Group merged the four snack brands: Youpin, Haoxianglai, Yadi Yadi and Luxiaochan.

Snack discount stores are already rushing to the scale of ten thousand stores. Founder Securities recently reported that the number of discount snack stores is expected to reach 22,000-25,000 in 2023.

In terms of the number of stores, the former snack giants did not have an advantage. But they have a supply chain accumulation in the snack track. When they turned in time, the snack industry resumed a new round of "low price war".

However, compared with the blind "volume" low price, today’s price war is the pursuit of the ultimate cost performance, testing everyone’s comprehensive ability and the ultimate control of all links.

Good shops, three squirrels and snack discount stores are back on the same starting line. However, it will take some time for good shops to reverse the "expensive price" label in consumers’ minds.

But good shops should not want the cycle to be too long. Because compared with the new species of snacks, there is not much time left for him. "At the moment, what is before us is not only the problem of living hard, but also the problem of living or not," Yang Yinfen bluntly said in an internal open letter.

Who says taxis are greasy middle-aged uncles? On NAT, what we see is the vitality and youthful beating of small fresh meat.

First of all, NAT is completely different from the common taxi cars in the market. It adopts the large space body shape of MPV and has strong recognition. Even in the queue of tens of meters, passengers can give up NAT at a glance.

At the end of last year, the customized network car D1 jointly developed by Didi and BYD officially met with us. The compact body size hides spacious seating space, and there are many configurations specially designed for passengers, which is impressive. Today, what I want to introduce to you is the customized model of FAW Pentium for the mobile travel service market-the new car is developed by FAW Group, and T3 travel auxiliary development. Let’s take a look at its performance.

The full name of "Next Automatic Taxi" is an intelligent sharing model for mobile travel service, which is built on the electric platform of FAW FME. In the future, the new car will launch six different versions, one for four different taxis, and two versions for T3 and Didi Chuxing. Because it mainly faces the B-end travel platform, the appearance and interior design have little to do with our passengers, but first of all, we should briefly introduce them.

In appearance, the size of the 2022 vehicle is 4450X1840X1680 and the wheelbase is 2850 mm. As a compact MPV model, the 2022 model has a very distinctive appearance. At the front of the vehicle, the air intake grille is closed, the headlights on both sides are blackened, and the headlights are connected by black decorative strips. When the two headlights are connected, the engine compartment cover and the air intake grille are effectively separated.

On the side of the car, the 2022 model adopts a square design method, and the waistline runs through the whole from the front to the rear. As a whole, it seems that the interior space will be very large. In addition, there is another bright spot that is very distinctive, that is, the shape of the D-pillar and the tail, which can be said to be very bold and avant-garde and very futuristic.

At the rear of the car, the taillights of the 2022 model are designed with characteristics and arranged vertically. The taillight group is connected by a black decorative board, creating a similar through shape; The license plate frame adopts a concave design, which effectively increases the layering of the rear of the car, and the lower surrounding part is equipped with a thick black decorative board, which gives people a simple feeling. The brand LOGO at the back has become the expression of Pentium English letters. Overall, the 2022 model has an outstanding appearance and strong recognition.

The two-color stitching interior takes a simple and fashionable route, and creates a good sense of layering. The suspended central control panel adds some sense of technology. The steering wheel wrapped in leather feels good, and there are holes on both sides. Unfortunately, it only supports up-and-down adjustment. The dashboard adopts TFT liquid crystal, and the display content is rich, but slightly messy, but it has nothing to do with ordinary consumers. The system of the 10-inch central control panel is customized, which integrates various functions such as travel order taking system, face recognition, in-vehicle monitoring, etc., and cooperates with the steering wheel to take orders with one button, so that the mobile phone bracket is no longer standard for drivers.

Just in the appearance and interior of NAT, you can’t see how much difference NAT has from ordinary family cars. But once you understand the customization function of NAT, it will be an unprecedented taxi, which will bring people a completely different travel experience.

In the near future, when you book a NAT taxi, you will enjoy the "VIP" treatment: the electric side sliding door will slowly open for you.

The advantage of the side sliding door is that it can bring a larger opening and facilitate passengers to get on and off. When you get on the bus, you will find that the door on the left side is an ordinary push-pull door, but as a taxi, this door is rarely used in practical use scenarios. In addition to the side sliding door, a spherical reflector is designed on the door frame on the right side, which is convenient for observing the situation behind when getting off the bus.

There is also a "BOSS mode" in the rear seat, which supports the co-pilot seat to slide forward and bring boss-level enjoyment to the rear passengers. In more than 100 thousand family cars, this function is obviously impossible to expect.

In addition, the rear center armrest is equipped with a USB charging port and a storage hook on the back of the co-pilot’s chair, which makes it more convenient for passengers to use.

At first glance, NAT doesn’t seem to be big. The length, width and height of the new car are 4450×1840×1680mm, but the wheelbase is 2850 mm. The short front and rear suspension design is also conducive to maximizing the interior space. For example, in the back row space, NAT provides 1007mm legroom in the back row, which is comparable to medium and large luxury cars.

In addition, passengers can remotely control the heating and air conditioning temperature of the rear seats through the APP, so as to fully create a luxury car ride experience for passengers.

It is worth noting that FAW Pentium specially created the concept of "double C-position", with the rear C-position of the co-driver and the driver’s seat. Obviously, NAT also attaches great importance to the care of drivers. The driver’s main driving space is larger than the auxiliary driving space (the ratio of main driving space to auxiliary driving space is 55: 45), and the seat can be completely laid down, which is convenient for the driver’s master to have a rest. The seat pays more attention to the support of long-term riding, and also supports the ventilation function of the seat.

In terms of passenger safety, NAT has a one-button alarm switch under the left and right B-pillars and under the right side of the passenger seat, which are the standard functions of titration plate making.

I had a simple driving experience in the venue. This one is based on Pentium’s brand-new FME platform, and it is the same platform as E01 which was listed before. The whole car is in a very special situation in terms of starting acceleration, and the switch is designed very lightly. You can feel that the power reserve in the initial stage is still sufficient when you step on it lightly. This setting can reduce the driver’s foot fatigue for taxis.

Although NAT is an electric car, its steering is as easy and easy to drive as Pentium fuel car. In addition, the size of the whole car is small, so you can feel very relaxed when you test drive in the venue, and the steering wheel with electronic power is more comfortable.

For trams, kinetic energy recovery is the most important point for everyone, and it is also an important aspect of whether it can give consumers comfort. The kinetic energy recovery design is very similar to the feeling of a fuel car, and there is not much drag when releasing the switch.

In terms of configuration, NAT is considerate for drivers. For the driver, the driver’s seat is provided with 6-way electric adjustment, 4-way electric lumbar support, seat ventilation, seat heating/massage, change/bill/key/towel storage space, etc.

It is worth mentioning that the front seats tend to be more comfortable for the driver in design, and the width of the main driver’s seat is about 10% wider than that of the co-pilot, which also makes the driver not feel tired during long-distance driving.

In terms of riding experience, our chassis adopts the suspension of the former McPherson rear torsion beam, but because it is built on the FME platform, we can still see some efforts in chassis adjustment. It is comfortable to ride in the second row, especially the seat cushion, which is very comfortable.

Moreover, during the test ride experience in the venue, the filter of the ditch ridge on the road surface is relatively complete, and the posture of the car body is still good when turning, which is worthy of recognition. After all, it is a model for the travel market, and comfort is more important.

In terms of power, the new car will be equipped with a motor with a maximum power of 100kW, and a rechargeable lithium iron phosphate battery version and a rechargeable ternary lithium battery version will be introduced, with a cruising range of 419km.

As a model mainly aimed at the B-end market, I’m afraid it’s a model that you can’t buy with money.

For the driver, it is undoubtedly a work that satisfies the driver, such as driver identification, one-button receiving function, language translation function, expanded main driver’s seat, flexible power exchange mode and so on. For passengers, the convenience of sliding doors, more comfortable and spacious rear seats and exclusive C-seat also meet the needs of passengers when using the car.

Summary: The online car rental market has become a hot spot in the market segment. From our body, we can see more meticulous care for passengers and drivers. Compared with the first generation of online car rental models, it has undoubtedly evolved too much, making people’s travel life better.

　　A major poisoning case that caused 2 deaths and 63 hospitalizations of BYD employees was opened in Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court on the 20th. Zhu Yuanlin, the owner of BYD’s back door new market, Zhang Zhenhua, a section chief of BYD Company, Ke Bizhi and Wang Yingde, fellow villagers of Hubei Province, Zhang Zhenhua, were charged with the crime of releasing dangerous substances, and Zhu Yuanlin was also charged with the crime of suspected illegal business operation. Except Zhu Yuanlin, all three others pleaded guilty.

　　Event playback

　　At 11: 00 a.m. on February 23rd this year, 65 BYD employees who had finished breakfast showed symptoms of poisoning in the back door market of BYD factory. Among them, 2 died after being rescued, 19 were hospitalized and 42 were under medical observation. The incident was identified as nitrite poisoning. After investigation by the police, it was confirmed that the case was deliberately poisoned.

　　Allegations: In July, 2007, 33-year-old Zhu Yuanlin jointly built a new market on Baoping Road next to BYD Company in Baolong Industrial Zone, longgang town. Because an old market nearby had a competitive relationship with him, Zhu held a grudge against the old market. At the end of 2007, he was introduced to Zhang Zhenhua and Zhang Zhenhua of BYD Company, who intended to operate an ice rink in the new market. In exchange for exempting the rent of 500,000 yuan, Zhu agreed and instructed Zhang to use poisoning and other means to urge the government to dismantle the old market. Zhang Zhenhua agreed. On February 20th this year, Zhu and Zhang signed the relevant agreement, which stipulated that if Zhang Zhenhua could clear the old market before March 18th, 2008, it would be free of rent of 500,000 yuan.

　　Zhang Zhenhua immediately found his fellow villager Ke Bizhi to run a skating rink in partnership, and discussed ways to dismantle the old market. Ke Bizhi learned that nitrite can cause diarrhea through inquiry, so he decided with Zhang to put nitrite into the food stalls in the old market. After that, Ke bought a bottle of nitrite in a chemical shop next to Longgang bus station in Shenhui Road, dissolved it and put it in two plastic bottles, and called his fellow villager Wang Yingde to tell him what happened and asked Wang to help him put nitrite out.

　　In the early morning of February 23, 2008, Wang Yingde put in nitrite prepared in advance at the food stall in the old market. On the morning of the same day, the people who ate at the stalls poisoned by Wang Yingde had symptoms of poisoning. On the day of the incident, the old market was demolished, but after the police detected the case, the new market covering an area of more than 5,000 square meters was also demolished.

　　Who planned the poisoning?

　　At 3 pm yesterday, four defendants appeared in the criminal court of Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court. Except Zhu Yuanlin, all three defendants pleaded guilty. Zhu Yuanlin denied that he had instigated the poisoning. "Zhang Zhenhua wants something from me, saying that he can get rid of the old market. How can I teach him the method?" Zhang Zhenhua and Ke Bizhi said that Zhu Yuanlin said more than once that "to get rid of the old market, no matter what means, it is best to do something about hygiene, even if it is’ diarrhea’".

　　Zhang Zhenhua and Ke Bizhi are fellow villagers. They have opened stores and sold mobile phones and restaurants together, but their business is average. This time, I wanted to run the skating rink in partnership, and then something happened. The former good friends passed the buck to each other in court.

　　Wang Yingde, the direct poisoner, said in court that he was working in Ke Bizhi’s restaurant at that time, and he did so out of the loyalty of his buddies. Wang Yingde also said that after the incident, Zhang Zhenhua called him to flee to Myanmar.

　　The prosecution also supplemented Zhu Yuanlin with the crime of illegal business operation yesterday. According to the prosecution, he was suspected of collaborating with others to illegally develop shops, and rented them out, and charged tenants more than 1.4 million yuan in rent. Zhu Yuanlin pleaded guilty to the charge of illegal business operation.

　　A family member of the deceased and an injured person entrusted their agents to claim more than 800,000 yuan and 170,000 yuan of criminal incidental civil compensation respectively.

　　The case is still under further investigation. (Author: Sun Ying trainee reporter Qu Guangning Du Xiaotian)
