What does the alpine test measure?

  The cold test includes many aspects such as the exterior, interior, driving state and working condition of the vehicle, but the most intuitive aspects for users are cold start, defrosting, defogging, interior heating and driving experience.

  Let’s talk about cold start first. First, the vehicle should stand outdoors for more than 12 hours at the lowest temperature of -30 to -35 degrees Celsius. According to the testers, the test process is fixed, and they have to adjust their work and rest time according to the temperature change, usually starting work at 5-7 am. Because this time period is the coldest, it meets the test requirements. Now Mohe is just dawn at about 8 am.

  In the cold start project, there are two dimensions to measure the results. The first is the start-up time (within 10 seconds, it is up to standard), and the second is whether it can be successfully started at one time. After both of them meet the standards, only one set of tests has been completed, and only three sets have to be completed continuously to be qualified. It is reported that there is no problem. In the case of -35 degrees Celsius, the startup time is about 4 seconds.

  For users in cold areas, the speed of vehicle defrosting and defogging is also very important. There are also two aspects to measure this project, namely, the time spent on defrosting and defogging and the corresponding area. Testers will collect and record data for these two aspects one by one. In addition, a comprehensive evaluation should be made based on the subjective feelings of drivers and passengers.

  In addition to defrosting and defogging, the effect of air conditioning will be verified, and the tester will record the temperature of the air outlet and the temperature near the headrest. They also said that, for example, the lower air outlet of the foot should have the same air outlet, and one foot should not be cold and the other foot should be hot. It is reported that in the weather like Mohe, the water temperature of the engine can rise to about 70 degrees in about 5-6 minutes when the vehicle is idling after starting, and warm air is blown out at the air outlet.

  Whether electronic components can work normally in low temperature environment is also the focus of staff testing. Auchan comes standard with an instrument panel with LCD screen, which is rare in the same model. As shown on the screen, the current outdoor temperature is -18 degrees Celsius, and the instrument information is all normal. The staff introduced that in the case of -30 degrees Celsius, when the vehicle just started and the water temperature was low, there would be a slight smear phenomenon when the big numbers on the dashboard changed, but this situation did not exist after the water temperature rose. There is no such situation on the screen of the sound system next to it. It can be displayed normally at any time, and the system responds quickly.

  Road verification is also an indispensable part of every day, and the staff will drive vehicles to crawl at low speed and test urban roads, national highways and highways every day. On the way, acceleration and braking tests will be carried out according to road conditions to simulate normal driving habits. The speed range covers 0-120km/h, and the temperature ranges from 0 to -35 degrees Celsius. And according to the temperature change of 5 degrees Celsius as a calibration to collect data. At the same time, it is necessary to analyze the driver’s own subjective feelings to find out the potential problems that may exist in the vehicle.

● Summary:

  The "three highs" test is mainly aimed at verifying the reliability of products, and Auchan has withstood the test in these aspects. It is not difficult to see from the "three highs" test learned this time that vehicle engineers are engaged in the same boring work day after day because of their fixed workflow and specifications and harsh environment. And all this is to truly simulate the car use of local users and ensure that vehicles can be used normally in any state. As the saying goes, it takes a lot of tempering to become steel.

  The process and specifications of the "Three High" test involve the business secrets of the manufacturers, especially the data information, so they naturally don’t want to disclose it to me as an outsider. Secondly, the time for participation is very tight, and the information that can be learned is limited. Therefore, this article can only be written from the perspective of personal feelings. However, Auchan is about to be officially listed, and these boring experiments may not be as attractive as the test drive. As for Auchan’s performance in power and control, we will present you with wonderful test drive articles at the end of the month. (Text/Photo/Photo by Liu Wei)

How to distinguish the baiji, finless porpoise and Chinese white dolphin: look at its kiss and dorsal fin.

Recently, the China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (hereinafter referred to as the "Green Development Association") baiji expedition team reported that two suspected baiji dolphins were found in Wuhu section of the Yangtze River, and released related videos. The news that the baiji dolphin, which has been declared functionally extinct for ten years, reappears in the Yangtze River is all exciting.

Regrettably, some experts later judged according to the video that the expedition team photographed the finless porpoise instead of the baiji.

At 8 o’clock in the morning on the 16th, Weibo, the official of the Green Development Association, sent a message again, saying that some experts believed that "the scientific research team may be able to see the target by combining various factors, but it is not very sure to take a large enough and clear photo".

The relevant staff of the Green Hair Association later told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) that the experts who participated in the research and judgment of related videos have not yet given the final judgment, and it is not yet certain that the expedition team photographed the baiji.

How to distinguish white dolphin, finless porpoise and Chinese white dolphin? What are their respective characteristics? 

It is relatively easy to distinguish them from each other by the length of kisses.. On May 16th, an aquatic expert from Wuhan Baiji Dolphin Protection Foundation introduced to The Paper that the kiss of Baiji Dolphin was very obvious. The kiss length of adult baiji dolphins is generally about 30 cm, while that of Chinese white dolphins is generally less than 20 cm. The finless porpoise’s kiss is shorter and easier to identify.

Body color is also the key factor to distinguish them.The white dolphin’s body color has not changed much in its life, and its back is bluish gray and its abdomen is white. However, the body color of Chinese white dolphins changes obviously, and the back of their larvae is dark gray. When they grow up, the black gray on the back will gradually fade away, showing dark gray spots, and the background color will be bluish white. In adulthood, it will mainly be white, and with the change of water temperature, it will show different degrees of pink, while the abdomen will always be white. The finless porpoise is basically black and gray, and the color is the deepest among the three.

In addition, the dorsal fin of the baiji dolphin is closer to the back of the body and shorter; The dorsal fin of Chinese white dolphin is higher and closer to the middle of the back; The finless porpoise has no dorsal fin.

"The white dolphin lives in the Yangtze River. Because the water is turbid and its vision has basically deteriorated, its eyes are very small, as big as small mung beans; The Chinese white dolphins live in the sea, their eyesight is quite good, and their eyes are much bigger. " The expert said, "And from the perspective of posture, the white dolphin is more elegant and the Chinese white dolphin is stronger."

Ten years ago, the baiji dolphin was declared "functional extinction", which means that this large animal, which was once at the top of the energy pyramid and food chain of the Yangtze River ecosystem, has lost its position and function in the Yangtze River ecosystem and lost its ability to reproduce itself.

The living conditions of finless porpoises and Chinese white dolphins are also in jeopardy. On May 9th, the symposium on upgrading Yangtze finless porpoise to national first-class protected animals was held. The related technical report compiled by Institute of Aquatic Sciences of Chinese Academy of Sciences showed that the protection of Yangtze finless porpoise has entered the most critical period, and it may be the last chance to save the population at present.

As one of the only two cetaceans in the list of national key protected wild animals (the other is the baiji), the news of Chinese white dolphin’s death has been exposed continuously since this year, and it has even been captured by fishermen and slaughtered in the street.

White dolphin

English name: Yangtze River Dolphin

Latin name: Lipotes vexillifer

Quantity: It has not been found since 2000.

Mammalia, Cetacea, Freshwater Dolphinidae and Baiji, also known as "aquatic pandas", are endemic to China. The national first-class protected animals are listed as "CR" in the Red List of IUCN Endangered Species. The body is spindle-shaped, the whole body skin is bare and hairless, with a long kiss. Mainly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, feeding on a variety of fish and other species. Due to the development of water conservancy projects, the habitat of Baiji dolphin has been lost or degraded, and the Baiji dolphin has not been found since 2000 due to ship traffic, accidental fishing and port construction.

The chinese white dolphin – sousa chinensis

English name: Indo-Pacific Humpbacked Dolphin

Latin name: Sousa chinensis

Quantity: about 1200-1300.

Mammals, Cetaceans, Dolphins, Dolphins. The national first-class protected animals are listed as "NT" by the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species. Chinese white dolphins are slender and spindle-shaped, with long and narrow beaks, which generally fade from primary dark gray to adult pink. Mainly distributed in the Indian Ocean, the east coast of India, China and Australia. In China, it is mainly distributed in the southeast coast, inhabiting the waters of continental shelf, and the water depth is less than 100m m. The population of Chinese white dolphins is still decreasing due to the loss of habitat and accidental catching of other fish.

Yangtze finless porpoise

English name: Yangtze Finless Porpoise

Latin name: neophocaena phocaenoides asiae orientalis

Quantity: 1000-1800

Mammalia, Cetaceae, porpoises and finless porpoises, commonly known as porpoises, are the only freshwater subspecies of finless porpoises endemic to China. The national second-class protected animals are listed as "VU" by the IUCN Red List of Endangered Species. Small size, blunt head, forehead bulge slightly forward; The snout is short and wide, the upper and lower jaws are almost the same length, the snout is short and wide, and the whole body is leaden or grayish white, which looks like a dolphin. The Yangtze finless porpoise is a unique freshwater dolphin, which is only found in the Yangtze River basin. Their intelligence level is similar to that of gorillas, and they generally lack dorsal fins. They eat fish and shrimp, but the ecological damage caused by overfishing makes it difficult for finless porpoises to find food. In some parts of the Yangtze River, the food chain of finless porpoises has been broken.

About IUCN and Red List of Endangered Species;

Founded in 1948, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) provides relevant data, evaluation and analysis for the global nature conservation work, and provides knowledge and technical support to the public, non-governmental organizations and the private sector.

The Red List of Endangered Species was compiled in 1963 by the Species Survival Committee (SSC) in cooperation with several species assessment agencies. Assess the extinction risk of thousands of species every year and classify them into nine different protection levels. This directory collects information on threats, ecological needs, where to live, and protection actions to reduce or avoid species extinction, which has been widely accepted and applied around the world.

About Wuhan Baidolphin Conservation Foundation:

Wuhan Baiji Conservation Foundation (WBCF) was established on December 25th, 1996, and it is the first public fund for the protection of finless porpoises and their habitats in China.

Since 1997, the Foundation has participated in and supported all the large-scale finless porpoises’ investigation activities in 2006 and 2012, and promoted the protection projects of important habitats of finless porpoises, including Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake. At the same time, the Foundation strongly supports the participation in the ex-situ conservation project of the Yangtze finless porpoise in Tianezhou and Hewangmiao (integration embankment), laying the foundation for the Yangtze finless porpoise conservation project.

China has its own unique advantages in building a network power.

  Editor’s Note: The 5th world internet conference opened in Wuzhen, Zhejiang on November 7th, and the Supreme Leader of president sent a congratulatory letter. The Supreme Leader pointed out that today’s world is experiencing a broader and deeper scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation.

  Facing the changes and challenges of the global Internet, what kind of answer will China give? The world is looking forward to it..

  In different historical stages of the development of human society, the social production network has been expanding, from one country to many countries, and from many countries to the final globalization. In this process, the social production network has become increasingly complicated in space, between industries and even within products. At the same time, the key content of production network exchange has gradually changed from agricultural products, industrial products and capital flow to data flow and information flow. Economic powers also show different industrial characteristics at different stages: agricultural power, industrial power, trade power and financial power. Under the background of the internet age, information flow and data flow are becoming new means of production, and at the same time, they are becoming more and more important contents of national security, and economic powers will increasingly rely on network powers.

  The world today is experiencing an information revolution, which will bring another qualitative leap in productivity and have a profound impact on the development of international politics, economy, culture, society, ecology and military affairs. China must seize this historical opportunity, and use information flow to drive the flow of technology, capital, talents and materials to promote high-quality economic development. China has its own unique advantages in building a network power.

  China has the advantage of market scale in building a network power.

  The network has the characteristics of increasing marginal revenue. Every time a new user is added to the network, its scale revenue will be greater. China has a population of nearly 1.4 billion, and the existing Internet users and mobile phone users are huge. From children to the elderly, almost everyone can use smart phones. China’s population advantage is a huge supporting force for building a network power, which is an innate condition that many developed countries in the world do not have. There are world-class Internet companies like Ali and Tencent in China, which is inseparable from the huge domestic market in China. Making full use of population advantages and giving full play to the role of population base can make China’s network power construction get twice the result with half the effort and form a huge scale effect on economic development.

  Today’s network era is already different from the traditional free Internet era, and innovations in content and form have spawned various profit models. The network era will not bury anyone’s talent, and every participant can use the network to create wealth. They are both creators and users of Internet services. Therefore, building an all-round cyberspace and expanding the coverage of network infrastructure can make China’s market scale advantage play to the greatest extent in the construction of a network power.

  Building a strong network requires higher talents and infrastructure.

  The characteristics of a network power are as follows: a country has strong technical strength, strong ability to resist network risks and network governance, which can achieve a high level of network efficiency as well as a high level of network security. No matter what stage of social development, talents and infrastructure are two important pillars of building an economic power. The innovation ability of the former depends on the national talent training and incentive system, while the latter depends on the government’s investment, supervision and maintenance of infrastructure. The construction of a network power still needs to rely on the construction of Internet talents and network infrastructure.

  For a micro-enterprise, the Internet is first and foremost a technology-intensive industry, which cannot be supported by first-class technical talents. After more than 20 years of unremitting efforts, China has gained gratifying achievements and rich technical experience and professionals in the field of Internet technology. Since 2003, the number of related patents applied by China has increased by 10% year by year. Stimulated by market demand, a large number of college graduates flock to Internet enterprises after graduation, providing a large number of IT talents for the Internet industry. The younger talent team is more conducive to technological progress and innovation. In 2017, among the top ten Internet companies in the world ranked by market value, China’s Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu and JD.COM occupied four of them. China’s Internet practice and innovation is based on its own national conditions, permeating all aspects of people’s daily life, and basic production and life have been closely linked with intelligent networks. However, although the total resources of Internet science and technology talents in China are large, high-end technical talents are still scarce resources.

  For a country, especially for a big country like China, the construction of a network power has put forward higher requirements for infrastructure. The infrastructure referred to by a network power includes not only telecommunications and Internet infrastructure construction in a narrow sense, but also the interaction between the network economy and the real economy. Network infrastructure also includes network basic theory and core technology, as well as related facilities related to network security. For example, information infrastructure network security protection, network security information co-ordination mechanism, means and platform. "To get rich, build roads first", and network infrastructure is the "highway" in today’s information age.

  The essence of a network power is an information technology power. Network development is supported by technology, and the core technology is the biggest difficulty that restricts China’s construction into a network power. With the core technology, we can have a comparative advantage in technology, from following developed countries to completing "overtaking in corners". The birth of the core technology is to try it out through massive trial and error. This not only requires that the scientific research assessment mechanism should be inclusive and allow researchers to fail; But also put forward higher requirements for the financing mechanism, that is, the financing mechanism should also be inclusive and tolerant of repeated failures in technical research. Therefore, our scientific research assessment mechanism should be reformed, from short-term and high-frequency assessment to longer-term assessment, from quantitative assessment to quality assessment and peer reputation assessment. In addition, for the financing mechanism, it also requires the development of equity financing, the development of multi-level capital markets, and the change of the financing structure mainly relying on bank loans.

  China’s construction of a network power is facing the problem of integration with the real economy

  Undoubtedly, the development of the Internet has played a positive role in promoting economic development, but at the same time, new technologies will have an impact on traditional industries. This "creative destruction" of the network economy has also caused a certain degree of impact on the real economy. For example, the retail service industry tends to weaken under the impact of the Internet. We need to understand this contradiction from two aspects: on the one hand, like other new technologies and new production methods in history, network technology has improved the efficiency of information flow and production, and it is the "cake" of the whole economic output. The distribution problems arising in this process require the state to maintain basic social equity through taxation, subsidies and redistribution; On the other hand, the real economy and the Internet can achieve a benign interaction and achieve a win-win situation for both sides.

Built-in HarmonyOS system, Huawei ecological product puffin smart camera Pro experience.

When it comes to Huawei HarmonyOS system, it is estimated that many people are familiar with it. As a distributed operating system, HarmonyOS system has been built into Huawei Smart Screen, Huawei Watch, Jiuyang, Midea and other products, and HarmonyOS system of mobile phone is currently being tested. It is estimated that most Huawei HONOR can upgrade HarmonyOS system soon. As an operating system different from IOS and Android, the biggest advantage of HarmonyOS system is that it can connect different devices in series through the system to create a real smart home system with everything connected. Today, the product from Huawei Ecology, Puffin Smart Camera Pro, is a product with built-in HarmonyOS system.

In addition to the built-in HarmonyOS system, this puffin smart camera Pro also has many functions such as built-in storage, 2K HD image quality, push-to-talk and AI intelligent monitoring.

The appearance of the puffin smart camera Pro is still very cute, and the dark "big eyes" are very eye-catching. Replacing the yellow ear accessories inside the accessories can definitely sprout your heart.

In addition to the lens, there is also a microphone and photosensitive sensor on the big eyes. With the rotating pan/tilt at the bottom, the puffin smart camera Pro can move around 360 and move up and down 150, and the monitoring field of view is still good.

The circumference of big eyes is decorated with a circle of silver vertical lines.

The push-to-talk function is my personal favorite function. If there are old people or children at home, this function is very useful. In addition to checking the situation at home through the camera, you can also talk to the old people or children at home directly through the mobile phone client.

And from the experience, the one-click call quality of this puffin smart camera Pro is still very good, the call sound is clear, and the noise is almost negligible.

The back of the puffin smart camera Pro is a speaker and a charging port, and the charging port uses a mic USB port, which is more perfect if a TypeC port is used.

The lower position of the camera body is the rotating pan/tilt, and the Pro(32GB) version of the puffin smart camera supports 360 panoramic cruise and 64GB supports stepless tracking.

There is a mounting slot at the bottom of the camera, and there is a circle of non-slip silicone pad design.

Huawei’s eco-chain products naturally support Huawei link. Through the Huawei Smart Life APP client, it is very convenient to directly add devices and set the binding of devices.

As an ecological product of Huawei, this puffin smart camera Pro has a powerful HiSilicon processor chip built in, and has powerful AI intelligent detection functions, such as human figure detection, face recognition, crying detection and so on. When the camera finds someone moving or entering, it will automatically record and save it, and push the situation to the user through mobile phone or WeChat. Prevent accidents.

Moreover, thanks to the powerful cloud computing capability of Hisilicon, the puffin smart camera Pro can accurately classify events, which is convenient for users to find.

As a camera product, in addition to ensuring safety, many users will also share the video recorded by the camera with their families, so the quality of the video taken by the camera is also very important. The puffin smart camera Pro supports 2K ultra-high-definition image quality, and with the AI image quality processing ability of Hisilicon chip, the overall picture definition is good. At first, I was worried that 2K ultra-high-definition image quality would not require high network speed, but judging from the 200M network speed of my home mobile, it was still very smooth.

The video quality during the day is good, so what about the video effect in the dark environment? Although the previous camera products also used infrared night vision cameras, the recorded videos were mostly black and white. However, the puffin smart camera Pro supports low-light full-color images, equipped with low-light full-color technology and super-sensitive CMOS, even in the dark environment, it can also present color images, and the image noise is within the acceptable range.

As a camera product equipped with HarmonyOS system, at present, I don’t have other products equipped with HarmonyOS system, such as smart screen, so I can’t experience the great convenience of HarmonyOS system for the time being, such as the seamless connection between camera video and smart screen, etc., but I am looking forward to it in the future.

Puffin Smart Camera Pro also supports the voice control of Huawei mobile phones and Huawei smart speakers. There are just Huawei smart speakers at home, and you can call Xiaoyi through the speakers to turn on and off the camera and make one-click calls.

There is also an NFC tag in the accessory, which supports the NFC-enabled mobile phone. When the NFC function is turned on, touch this tag and directly enter the camera interface.

In addition to being laid flat, the puffin smart camera Pro can also be hung and topped with accessories inside, and users can install it according to their own needs.

As a security product, puffin smart camera Pro personally values the built-in Huawei HarmonyOS system. After all, the Internet of Everything is the development direction of the Internet of Things, and Huawei HarmonyOS system is a good way to fill the gap between different devices and different brands of products. Although I personally can’t experience the advantages of HarmonyOS system due to equipment limitations at present, I believe that this puffin smart camera Pro will definitely play an increasingly important role in guarding family safety in the near future.

Guo Fucheng made his first appearance after saying goodbye to his deceased mother, showing up at the racecourse in full spirit and refusing to shake hands for epidemic prevention

In February this year, Guo Fucheng’s 90-year-old mother passed away. The family held a funeral for Guo’s mother in March. Guo Fucheng, his wife Fang Yuan, father-in-law and mother-in-law, and two daughters were all present. The family bid farewell to Guo’s mother. At that time, Guo Fucheng was also photographed crying silently, which was very sad.

However, Guo’s mother was 90 years old after all, and she died in her sleep at home. Xiao Mei, Guo Fucheng’s agent, said that this is a blessing, and relatives are comforted.

After Guo Fucheng completed the funeral, he sent a thank you letter, and then stayed at home with his wife and daughter to avoid the epidemic, which was not photographed by the media.

On March 25th, Guo Fucheng’s horse "Dancer Spirit" competed, and everyone was concerned about whether Chengcheng would bring his wife to the scene to watch the competition as before!

In the past, he would take his wife to watch the race and let Fang Yuan understand the knowledge of horse racing.

The two couples also tried to pull the horse together and were very happy.

In the evening, Guo Fucheng did arrive at the racecourse, but this time he did not see his wife Fang Yuan. This was the first time he had appeared in public after saying goodbye to his mother.

According to reports, Guo Fucheng joined the Jockey Club CEO Ying Jiabai and horse trainer Xiao Fang to enjoy the "dancer spirit" competition!

COVID-19 is raging, and Guo Fucheng has actually been paying attention. Hong Kong media said that he "banned" his wife and daughter from going out, and drove himself to the supermarket to shop and go home. He did not want his wife and daughter to "have an accident".

This night, in order to support his horses, Guo Fucheng still risked appearing at the racecourse to cheer for the sixth competition "Dancer Spirit".

Ying Jiabai, the CEO of the Jockey Club, noticed the appearance of the distinguished guest and immediately stepped forward to greet them. Both celebrities were wearing masks. In order to prevent the epidemic, they temporarily cancelled the handshake etiquette and replaced it with an elbow. The picture was a bit funny.

However, Ying Jiabai wanted to whisper to Guo Fucheng, during which he took the initiative to chat at close range. After Guo Fucheng heard what he said, his eyes immediately became sharp. I wonder if he received good news?

Xiao Fang also went to Guo Fucheng’s side to report the recent performance of the dancer’s spirit. If he won three consecutive victories, Guo Fucheng could take a group photo.

During this period, Guo Fucheng took out his mobile phone to look at it. I wonder if his wife urged him to go home?

However, it was a pity that the hot dancer spirit was eighth, and Guo Fucheng was a little disappointed and soon disappeared into the crowd.

Huawei launched the 6.8-inch P8 Max: a large-screen phone will reignite the war

As the large-screen version of the P8, Huawei today announced the retail price of the P8Max market, the high-end version (3 + 64G) is 3788 yuan, and it will be officially launched on June 26. It is reported that according to Huawei’s end point strategic plan, it is hoped that the P8 and P8Max will continue the previous hot sales of P7 and Mate7, and open up the high-end market.

A number of market research institutions, including IDC, GFK, Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, and others, have released similar surveys, showing that most consumers prioritize screen size, and the larger the screen size, the better. GfK forecasts that large-screen smartphones above 5.1 inches will become the mainstream in the market in 2015, surpassing 4- to 4.5-inch phones for the first time. IDC’s forecast is more aggressive, saying that phablets with screens above 5.5 inches will become the mainstream in the future, accounting for 36% of all smartphones in 2015.

Therefore, large-screen mobile phones have become a new battlefield for major manufacturers to compete. Huawei’s 2015 global smartphone shipment target is 100 million, focusing on increasing the proportion of mid-to-high-end machines to more than 30%. In the current situation, it is not small for Huawei.

Challenge the limits of high-end large screens

With the popularity of Huawei P7 and Mate7, Huawei mobile phones have grown rapidly in the domestic market in the past year. According to Huawei’s official statistics, the global shipment of P7 has exceeded 7 million, and the global shipment of Huawei Mate7 has exceeded 5 million, of which about 70% comes from the contribution of the Chinese market.

In this regard, Zhu Ping, president of Huawei’s consumer business in China, said in an exclusive interview with Tencent Technology: "The first half of the year in China has been well completed. In addition to the continued popularity of classic products such as Huawei Mate 7, Huawei P8 and P8Max have launched attacks as new high-end product portfolios this year. In particular, the P8Max, a 6.8-inch fashion business large-screen phone, will strive to open up new market segments in the high-end field."

According to him, Huawei’s global shipments of mobile phones in the first half of the year were 50 million. Among them, the Chinese market accounted for 50%, and sales increased by 40% year-on-year.

From a product perspective, P8Max is similar to Mate7, but the target group is different from Mate7. At present, the domestic high-end mobile phone field is still occupied by 4.7 to 6-inch screen phones, Mate7 (6-inch screen) is still within the acceptable large screen range, while P8Max is a larger crossover mobile phone. The 6.8-inch screen is a new attempt in the mid-to-high-end market.

Although this screen size is indeed beyond the norm, and even the line between it and the small-sized tablet is increasingly blurred, Zhu Ping said, "This product is indeed made because the research found that many mid- to high-end users have demand for this type of product."

"Just as the BMW X6 is a crossover product between an SUV and a sedan, the P8 Max is a segment product between a mobile phone and a tablet, focusing on high-end business people," said Yang Zhe, Huawei’s China chief executive, using an analogy to the BMW X6.

At the outset, the Samsung Galaxy Note revolutionized the large-screen market, and countless mobile phone manufacturers launched large-screen products one after another. Now it remains to be seen whether the P8Max can refresh the extra-large screen size.

Strategic transformation of Huawei’s end point

In the face of slowing growth of domestic smartphones, or even the danger of beginning to decline, Huawei’s end point relies on R & D and quality-focused strategy, and has come out of a positive cycle of driving brands with flagship phones and driving sales growth with high-quality models.

"Huawei spends 10 per cent of its annual revenue on R & D and innovation. In 2014, Huawei spent about 39.50 billion-40.50 billion yuan on R & D, an increase of about 28 per cent compared with 2013. In the past 10 years, Huawei’s R & D investment has accumulated to 188 billion yuan," Zhu Ping said.

Previously, some media said that in the past 10 years, Lenovo has invested a total of 4.405 billion US dollars in R & D costs, which is less than Huawei’s R & D expenditure last year. This comparison is enough to illustrate the importance of continued high R & D investment for product quality improvement, especially in Huawei’s self-developed chip Kirin. The continuous maturation of the chip can illustrate this point.

In 2012, Huawei began to transform from a "machine sea strategy" to a "quality-focused strategy". After 2013, Huawei began to cut off the low-end mobile phone business. In mid-2014, Yu Chengdong said again: "Relying solely on operator channels to push ultra-low-end mobile phones in large quantities is doomed to be a road of no return." Huawei P7 and Mate 7 high-end mobile phones were then introduced to the market.

Data show that Huawei’s high-end smartphones accounted for 18% of shipments last year. Among them, Mate 7 has sold more than 5 million units since its launch, and P7 has sold more than 7 million units since its launch.

Zhu Ping revealed to Tencent Technology that in 2015, Huawei continued to focus on high-quality products and broke through the mid- to high-end market, with the goal of increasing the proportion of mid- to high-end machines to more than 30%. This year, more than 20 Huawei service experience halls will be built across the country.

Geely wants to "fly"

Text Shu Understand the notes

When new powers continue to rise in car manufacturing, the outside world is criticizing Li Bin, Li Xiang, He Xiaopeng and other Musks as competing to become China’s Musk. However, compared with these young descendants, Li Shufu, 57, may be more like the most devout "Musk disciple".

Some people say that Musk is a real-life version of Iron Man, and some people say that he is a Silicon Valley madman. But no matter what you call it, it reflects his bold and crazy business initiatives. Electric supercars, commercial rockets, satellites, solar roofs and underground high-speed trains, and even he will regularly sell flamethrowers… Many things that you can only see in science fiction movies, Musk is attacking everywhere. Especially on April 22, the media reported that the seventh batch of 60 "Starlink" satellites was launched, and the Falcon 9 rocket that carried out the launch mission was the fifth reused "five-handed" rocket.

Don’t be afraid to take September alone, and now Geely is also in the cloud? After Geely built a car with full wings, Li Shufu, who is nearly 60 years old, also began to think about "flying".

On April 26, a "rocket chief engineer" recruitment information from Geely Holding Group’s Time and Space Dao Yu Technology Co., Ltd., attracted great attention from the outside world: the job requirements column showed that the overall work plan of the rocket was looking for.

In fact, Geely wants to fly is not a recent thing.

"A car is just a few sofas and four wheels." This was Li Shufu’s "definition" of a car product twenty years ago. Perhaps in his opinion, a flying car should be able to take off with a pair of wings.

Geely acquired the world’s first flying car company, Terrafugia, in 2017. The company’s product is called Transition. From the perspective of appearance alone, it is more appropriate to call it a small folding-wing aircraft. According to official data, the power combination of the car (or the aircraft?) is a gas-electric hybrid system, which can take two people and can fly at a speed of 322 kilometers per hour in the air. The maximum flight altitude is about 3.048 kilometers, and the maximum endurance in the air can reach 800 kilometers.

According to Geely’s previous plan, this flying car will be mass-produced in the United States in 2019, and will gradually realize mass production of flying cars in China in the future. At the same time, Terrafugia is also in the commercial layout of vertical takeoff and landing flying cars.

However, it is now the end of April 2020, and the outside world has not seen any news of the mass production of this flying car. For this "science fiction" product, it may have been commonplace to skip the ticket. Even if the "flying car" does not arrive on time, Geely still wants to fly higher.

In March this year, the Taizhou Geely satellite project was officially launched. According to Geely’s official announcement, the first two low-orbit satellites independently designed by Spacetime Daoyu Technology Co., Ltd. have passed various appraisal tests and tests, and are expected to be launched within 2020. Therefore, this is the message forwarded by Yang Xueliang, vice president of Geely Automobile, "Recruiting rocket chief, welcome to sign up, and send your resume to @Geely Recruitment."

In this regard, Geely’s idea is to deploy low-orbit satellites to provide high-precision positioning services for high-level intelligent driving, in order to comprehensively enhance the user’s intelligent travel experience.

Of course, as people who eat melons, we don’t know if Geely’s satellites can successfully go to the sky within the year. However, from flying cars 3 kilometers in the sky to low-orbit satellites 200 to 2000 kilometers, in the popular words of the moment – Geely and Li Shufu’s goal is the sea of stars. Maybe in the future we will see Geely use its own "heavy rocket" to send its Geely sports car to the sky like Tesla.

If building a car can be highly summarized as "putting wheels on a sofa," then whether building rockets and satellites is to install rocket boosters on communication devices and send them to the sky? It’s definitely not that simple.

First of all, in terms of investment, the two are not on the same level at all.

Regarding the cost of building a car, relevant auto industry observers told Understanding Notes: "For general car companies, not counting those products that use the old platform to counterfeit products of other models, the cost of developing a new model is completely positive, which is about a few hundred million to one billion yuan. In addition, this cost will reduce the marginal cost with the increase of mass production of later models and the increase of" brother "models of the same platform."

Hundreds of millions to billions of yuan, which is already astronomical in the eyes of ordinary people, but when it comes to building rockets and launching satellites, it should not be enough.

Let’s take the Starlink project of Musk’s company Space X as an example. As the infrastructure of Musk’s global satellite Internet vision, on April 22, Space X sent the seventh batch of 60 satellites of the "Starlink" project into space with a Falcon 9 rocket. So far, the total number of satellites launched by SpaceX has reached 422.

According to Musk, "Starlink" will consist of at least 12,000 small satellites.

The technical prowess and billions of dollars spent to send such a large number of satellites into space are behind it. Because SpaceX is still not a publicly traded company, its financial data is not known to the outside world. But according to the company’s early estimates, the cost of building and launching satellites could be as high as $10 billion. From now on, the overall investment may only be much more.

"From the perspective of corporate purposes and the functionality of satellites, Geely’s satellites and Musk’s Starlink are completely different. Geely is mainly laying out for future vehicles to everything and autonomous driving, while Musk is betting on his own global Internet plan." In this regard, the above-mentioned automotive industry observers emphasized to Understanding Notes that Geely’s future demand for satellites will not be as high as Starlink plans, and Geely is not as big as Space X from rockets to satellites, and the future cost should be lower than Space X. "But even so, the cost of a single launch will be tens of millions of yuan, which is a lot of pressure for a car company."

The huge investment required behind "Heaven" is not unclear to Li Shufu, a veteran of the car industry. Under such circumstances, the reason why Geely still chooses the road of "Flying Heaven" is also very simple: the construction of the future intelligent travel network will not simply stay in the construction of the road network. In the highly integrated intelligent space, Geely’s low-orbit satellites will play a very important role.

In this regard, relevant auto industry observers told Understanding Notes: "First of all, Geely is doing this in the context of policies that are encouraging private capital to develop and launch commercial satellites; secondly, as Geely officials said – to a large extent, it is to prepare for high-level intelligent driving in the future." The person analyzed that mature autonomous driving requires the deep integration of high-precision navigation and high-speed communication networks, and the integration of communication is the development trend of the entire industry. "Geely has not only been tossing in the field of car manufacturing, but building an intelligent transportation ecosystem based on vehicle production is its ultimate appeal, so it needs to improve its own layout in the travel industry chain."

According to the "2018-2022 China Commercial Aerospace Industry Deep Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Report" released by CIC Consulting, the global aerospace industry is growing rapidly at a rate of 6% to 7% every year, and the size of our country’s aerospace market will reach 800 billion yuan in 2020.

Policy support, rapid market growth, strategic layout needs, from the perspective of strategic choice, Geely’s plan is logical. However, the wish is perfect if it can be realized, and the process of realizing the wish is "painful", especially at the current stage when Geely’s main business is under pressure.

We have heard the word cold winter in the car market countless times in the past year. Now affected by the pandemic, the market still sees no signs of recovery. In this situation, all car companies are under pressure, and Geely, a leading domestic car company, is also not feeling well.

According to the 2019 financial report released by Geely Automobile Holdings Co., Ltd., Geely Automobile sold 1.3616 million vehicles (including Lynk & Co) last year, and 1.5008 million vehicles in 2018, down 9% year-on-year; total revenue in 2019 was 97.71 billion yuan, down 8.6% year-on-year, and net profit was 8.19 billion yuan, down 35% year-on-year.

In addition, in the field of new energy vehicles, which has received the most attention, although Geely has been very aggressive, it has not achieved the expected effect. As early as 2018, when the "Blue Geely Action" was released, Li Shufu said, "By 2020, more than 90% of Geely cars will be new energy vehicles."

But the latest data shows that Geely Automobile sold only 113,067 new energy vehicles in 2019. Although the year-on-year growth rate was as high as 66.5%, it accounted for only 8.3% of the total sales. Obviously, the "prediction" failed.

"Geely is indeed very determined to turn to new energy, but from the perspective of product strength, Geely’s new energy series is obviously not the best (but not bad), and the reason why it does not perform better in the field of new energy than domestic competitors such as BYD and BAIC is that Geely has to take into account its own basic market." A senior industry insider told Zhonghe Notes that although new energy vehicles are very popular, in recent years the market is still dominated by fuel vehicles, "so at least for now, fuel vehicles are still Geely’s guarantee, so it will not be as aggressive as BYD and BAIC."

The current downturn in the domestic auto market is due to the fact that the entire auto market is caught in the dilemma of slowing demand, but this also highlights that, despite being a leading domestic car brand, Geely is still unable to escape the impact of the industry cycle in the competition in the stock market.

No one can anticipate when the recovery of the car market will occur. Investing heavily in "heaven" under such circumstances is definitely a pressure for Geely. Regarding Geely’s choice, relevant auto industry observers pointed out: "To achieve the integration of communication and navigation, it is definitely not enough to be close to two satellites. The entire intelligent travel network needs at least dozens of satellites to basically cover, which will be a long process."

Geely seems to be thinking further than BAIC and BYD to take a step ahead of its competitors. But at the same time, it is also very clear that selling cars is its basic game. As for the rocket chief and "God", Geely can’t be in a hurry.

Autonavi releases DIY map feature, enabling the creation of personalized maps and self-driving itineraries

  Everyone can create their own map! Autonavi recently launched a new feature of DIY map, which allows users to mark multiple locations, customize self-driving travel routes, and support multiple people to build and share with friends. DIY map is a re-interpretation of Autonavi’s new brand value proposition "Autonavi map, familiar everywhere", which further meets the personalized map needs of sub-groups and specific scenes.

  Focusing on map services for 19 years, Autonavi has now built a map covering the national road network information and a large number of POI points of interest. But in many scenarios, what people need may not be a standardized map, but some specific places that carry their interests, work needs or precious memories. For example, honeymoon trips, self-driving tours, motorcycle runs, photography spots that can produce photos, drone release points, driver toilet maps, takeaway rider food delivery maps, etc.

  "Using Autonavi’s proven mapping technology capabilities to provide a tool that allows everyone to easily mark places or routes and create a unique map, that’s what we designed DIY maps for," said Autonavi’s head of mapping related products.

  Now, users can use the latest version of Autonavi map and click on the "Messages" tab below to see the "My DIY Map" entrance. Click "Mark Location" to add any location in the map, and you can also fill in personalized names, descriptions, pictures and mark colors. Users who like self-driving tours click "Make Directions", and they can easily customize the tour route according to the guidance. After submitting, this information will be visually presented in the DIY map.

  "Before, every time I organized a self-driving car, I was very tired. I always had to explain the route to friends who had never been there, and the communication cost was very high. Now that I have the Autonavi DIY map, I will send the planned route to the group in advance. Friends can directly see the route itinerary, route points, scenery photos and other information, which is very convenient."

  Mr. Pang is a delivery stationmaster of a takeaway platform, and he has encountered some difficulties in managing new riders. "In the early days of the station, new riders always encounter the problem of not being able to find the building number, and many times they get bad reviews because of this. Later, I learned that you can use the Autonavi DIY map to mark the uncommon building number, so I took the rider to make a delivery map near Wangjing. There is a building number, and it will also mark the entrance and exit of the community and the repair point. Now our newcomers are no longer afraid of being unable to find a place for food delivery!"

  Maps and location are one of the most frequently used internet services. With the popularization and deepening of digital life, people’s needs continue to expand. To this end, Autonavi Maps has continued to strengthen product technology innovation in recent years. It is the first company in the world to launch lane-level navigation services on mobile phones. It is the only company that supports both AR driving navigation and AR walking navigation. It has innovatively launched traffic live and DIY maps, which continue to enhance the professionalism of map services and the breadth of people covered.

A university does not allow takeout into the campus, causing heated debate. Should the campus ban takeout?

  A few days ago, Guangxi University of Foreign Languages issued the "Notice on Not Allowing Disposable Tableware and Lunch Boxes to Enter the Campus", which caused a heated discussion on the Internet. The notice said that starting from November this year, in order to strengthen the food safety management of students, the school will ban takeaway, disposable lunch boxes and plastic bags from entering the dormitory.

  As soon as the notice was released, it immediately triggered a heated discussion on the Internet, and there were many different voices on campus. Some students believed that the school cafeteria had problems such as crowded space and long waiting time for meals, which could not meet normal dining needs. Prohibiting takeout and packing boxes into the dormitory would bring inconvenience to study and life. Some students said that everyone was used to ordering takeout, and it was difficult for the school to control it.

  The school said in a statement released later that the move was mainly due to considerations such as environmental protection, food safety and school teaching order. The food safety of takeaway food is not under the supervision of the school, and some food that does not meet the hygiene standards flows into the school with takeaway food, posing a threat to the health of students. At the same time, small vendors carry takeaway food in and out of the campus at any time, which not only affects the teaching order of the school, but also is not conducive to the establishment of a good school ethos.

  It is understood that in recent years, campus food delivery has developed rapidly, and various conveniences and preferential conditions have attracted a large number of students. At the same time, there are also many hidden dangers in the delivery of food into the campus. School administrators are very troubled by the news that students have food poisoning after eating food delivery and the theft of food delivery staff.

  In fact, before Guangxi Institute of Foreign Languages issued the notice, some institutions such as Jiangxi Nanchang Institute of Technology had already issued relevant regulations on the management of takeaway food, and everyone had mixed opinions on this move. How to standardize the management of takeaway food into the campus and balance the interests of all parties still needs to be explored.

  Blindly prohibiting will be more "blocking"

  I have been ordering takeout for lunch and dinner since I was an undergraduate. At that time, the takeout industry was highly competitive and there were many discounts, which could satisfy our demand for delicious food at lower prices. Now suddenly banning takeout from campus is "adding to the blockage" of students. What’s more, as long as the convenience that takeout brings to students still exists, it is difficult to ban it. If it is violently stopped, the merchant may continue to operate in a covert way, so the potential hidden dangers are still difficult to eliminate, but it increases the difficulty of management.

  Campus ban on takeout is legally binding

  From a legal point of view, universities and some private communities have the right to establish some rules and regulations to prohibit outsiders and food from entering their management scope, which does not restrict the freedom of students and residents. Especially when it comes to food safety, environmental protection and other matters related to personal and property safety, relevant schools and communities have the right to take necessary measures to protect them. Schools have the responsibility to ensure the safety of their personal and property for students in school. If they agree to food safety items entering the campus, and students have accidents on campus, then the school will be legally responsible for certain mismanagement. Therefore, there is a certain reason why the school does not allow takeaway into the campus.

  The takeout chaos should have been controlled long ago

  As a parent, I support the school’s regulation of takeaway food. Parents are worried not only about safety, but also about the health of their children. Many takeaway foods are not guaranteed to be healthy even if they are safe. Due to cost considerations, the quality of the ingredients selected by some merchants cannot be guaranteed, which will affect physical health. Moreover, children’s studies are not so stressful that they don’t have time to eat. Most of them want to be lazy. From a certain perspective, takeaway helps children develop bad habits. The takeaway chaos should have been controlled long ago!

  Ms. Wang, Parent of University of Science and Technology of China Class of 2017

  The school should not ban it

  I have seen a lot of "complain" about college cafeterias on the Internet, and I have experienced it myself, such as the food is unpalatable, expensive, and unhygienic. In my opinion, it is inappropriate and unacceptable for schools to adopt a "one-size-fits-all" management method to ban takeout from entering campuses. If schools really start from the perspective of students, solving the campus safety problems caused by takeout should start from two aspects: improving the quality of cafeterias and standardizing the management of takeout personnel entering campuses.

  Wang Jian, a citizen of Changsha, Hunan

  Campus ban on takeout is understandable

  From the perspective of campus management, it is understandable to ban takeout and packaging boxes from entering the campus. Some institutions have formulated this regulation to strengthen food safety management. At the same time, from the perspective of campus-wide environmental hygiene management, it is necessary to ban takeout. Schools, as the responsible person for the safety of students’ lives and property, are responsible for the personal safety of students during school. It is understandable to take measures to eliminate hidden dangers before finding more effective management methods.
