Subverting the heroine Rulu: This role is "female version of Shi Guangrong"

  The tribute drama "Pentium Times" is currently being broadcasted by Oriental TV. Recently, the leading actor and heroine David and Rulu were interviewed by the media WeChat. Among them, Rulu plays a fighting heroine. She said that although she has her own performance, the biggest difference compared with the role is that she lacks military temperament. Therefore, in order to better fit this role, Rulu cut off a long hair, and David, the leading actor, also reduced her weight to be thinner than when she was in college.

  ■ New Express reporter Zeng Le

  Rulu: This role is very different from Hua Fei.

  Jin Brilliant, played by Rulu in the play, is the first generation locomotive builder in China, and also a fighting heroine who is dedicated to the public and has no self-interest. Such a character is particularly easy to fall into the traditional model of "Gao Daquan". Personally, Rulu thinks that he is still very suitable for the main theme drama. "Maybe it’s my image, and I’m not particularly foreign and fashionable. I feel very comfortable playing this kind of drama." She particularly emphasized that this role does not have the so-called image of Gao Daquan. She has advantages and disadvantages, loveliness and shortcomings.

  Some viewers used "female Zhang Fei" to describe the new role of Rulu. Jiang Xin smiled. She thought that she was not so much a "female Zhang Fei" as a "female version of Shi Guangrong". "What impressed me most was the identity of a soldier. I always wanted to play a soldier, and I always wanted to play a uniformed one. I didn’t expect this soldier to be so cute and beautiful."

  David: Losing weight is thinner than in college.

  Chang Hanqing, played in David’s play, is a doctor who returned from studying abroad. For the sake of new China’s locomotive career, he went back to China without hesitation and overcome all difficulties. This role represents the first batch of engineers in New China who have worked hard all their lives for the cause of electric locomotives. David said that what impressed him most about the role was foresight, persistence in dreams and single-mindedness in feelings. "For the electric locomotive business in new China, his personal development, status and safety can be abandoned, which is very touching."

  Electric locomotive engineer is a highly professional profession. In order to show Chang Hanqing’s elegant demeanour, David specially consulted real electric locomotive engineers to understand their life and work, and also consulted a lot of information about the first and second generation electric locomotive engineers in New China. He asked himself not only to memorize a large number of technical terms and foreign languages involved in the play, but also to understand the meaning. There are some professional symbols in the script, which are neither letters nor numbers. When he first saw them, he couldn’t find a way to start. Therefore, he specially consulted an expert from the Ministry of Railways to solve the problem of how to pronounce them.

  He also said that he was just in his twenties. In order to be close to the people of that era, he began to implement a strict weight loss plan before joining the group. "It took about ten days to lose weight to 74 kilograms, which was even thinner than that of college."

  When it comes to cooperation with Rulu, David said that the encounter between the two people in the play is "Mars hits the earth", and if the lines in the play are used as a metaphor, it is "steak with stinky tofu". He praised Rulu’s good acting skills and made special efforts: "We will monitor each other’s weight loss achievements by acting well and losing weight, and also lead the crew to set off a weight loss plan for all, insisting on eating only boiled water every day."

Star Road Star Era officially released E0X electric platform.

Short-term tight supply supports the price palm oil continues to fluctuate strongly.

  2024.3.20

  Xinhu Futures:During the redemption of Lido, the oil temporarily oscillated.[partial bulls]

  Recently, the rainfall in Indonesia has decreased, and it is expected that the power of price adjustment in producing areas will be weakened. Today, we pay attention to the export pedicle shipping data of horse palm in the first 20 days of March, and the chain ratio is expected to continue to increase. During the Eid al-Fitr holiday in March-April, the stocks of palm oil producing areas are difficult to increase, and may even drop slightly temporarily. May-June production and inventory may usher in a turning point. In the early stage, the supply and demand have been tight in the middle of the transaction, and it is necessary to measure the cash level of the disk. Yesterday, the Bank of Japan raised interest rates for the first time in 17 years, and the US dollar index cashed in, rising in the afternoon, and domestic commodities mostly fell. In the night session, London metal fell as a whole, and the US beans fluctuated. The international soybean itself is not driven enough. Because the export of American soybeans is still weak, the export pressure of Brazilian soybeans exists, and Argentine soybeans will start harvesting soon. But supported by the cost, the space below is limited. Pay attention to the intentional area report of the new work of Meidou at the end of March.

  Domestically, yesterday, domestic oil and fat fluctuated, and the night market was slightly weaker. Foreign investors reduced their positions in palm oil, but it was not significant. Fundamentally speaking, due to poor import profits and low import volume, domestic palm oil will continue to reduce its inventory. Domestic soybeans continued to be disturbed by various rumors last week, and the soybean crush was significantly reduced. Yesterday, the first batch of imported reserve soybeans was sold at a premium, suggesting that the market is worried about supply. Recently, there are still new rapeseed boats in China, and the supply and demand of vegetable oil in China is loose or continuous in the medium term. In addition, the estimated area of new rapeseed works has decreased year-on-year, but it has not yet started sowing at the expected stage. In the later stage, it is concerned about the cash situation. On the whole, March-April may be the gap period before the new round of international palm oil and soybean trading may be bearish. At present, this round of sharp rise is still a staged market. Technically, the previous interval of P2305 broke, and the short-term attention was paid to the performance of the futures price near the larger interval. In operation, multiple orders are carefully held. The spread between beans and brown continues to be weak. The spread of vegetable brown 2305 showed signs of rebound and decline.

  Green Dahua Futures:International crude oil prices are strong, and domestic oil futures prices are supported.[Short rallies]

  Variety point of view: the international crude oil rally continued, the output of Malaysia rebounded in early March, and the export decline rate increased in the same period. The domestic palm oil spot premium soybean oil, the substitution effect subsided. In view of the rapid rise of oil in the early stage and the increase of accumulated profit-taking, beware of the sharp decline in futures prices. In summary, many oil orders in the early stage continued to make profits gradually.

  Operation suggestion: There are many orders of oil and fat, and they are gradually profitable to leave the market. Y2405 support level 7000, pressure level 8150; P2405 contract support level 6900, pressure level 8500; O12405 contract support level 7500, pressure level 8700.

  Zhengxin Futures:In January and February, domestic imports were less, and palm oil continued to be strong.[partial bulls]

  Origin: in the first half of March, the growth rate of horse palm production expanded to 38.8%, while the growth rate of export narrowed to 3.3% in the same period.

  At home, the progress of soybean crushing in oil plants slowed down, and the downstream transaction of soybean oil was better; In some areas, the substitution of bean vegetable oil appeared, and the spot transaction of palm oil was average, but only 390 thousand tons were imported in January and February, and palm oil continued to go to the warehouse.

  Strategy, Brazil’s soybean production continues to decline, but strong exports continue to impact the US soybean export market, and CBOT soybeans are once again under pressure at the integer mark of 1200 cents. In the first half of March, the increase in horse palm production increased, and BMD wool palm rose to a high level of more than one year and then slightly adjusted back. Domestic palm oil imports are low, and stocks continue to go down; The import of vegetable oil is on the high side, the stock of bean vegetable oil is slightly higher, the supply and demand of the three major oils are divided, palm oil is stronger than bean vegetable oil, and the spread between bean brown and vegetable brown continues to shrink; However, with the adjustment of positions after capital gains, palm oil gains slowed down, and the trend of strong shocks continued in the short term.

  Hongyuan futures:Palm oil supply is tight in the short term to support the price.[Do more on dips]

  On Tuesday, the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) soybean oil futures closed down, with the benchmark period down by about 1.1%, because the arbitrage of buying soybean oil and selling soybean meal was unlocked. Yesterday, domestic oils and fats were adjusted to some extent, and palm oil was still the strongest. In the short term, the supply was tight to support the price, but the short-term increase was too large, and there was obviously profit-taking pressure. The supply of soybean oil and vegetable oil increased one after another in the later period, so it was not appropriate to chase after it. However, under the background of bean bottom detection, there is limited room for oil to fall back. In operation, wait for the fall before laying out multiple orders.

  Everbright Futures:Domestic oil collective callback[Short rallies]

  On Tuesday, BMD palm oil closed down, and the market lacked new catalytic factors due to profit-taking. MPOC expects the price of horse palm to fall back to the trading range of RM 3,800-4,000 in April. Investors wait for new export data or high-frequency output data to guide the market. According to the latest data of SPPOMA, Malaysia’s output increased by 38.8% from March 1 to 15, 2024 compared with the same period of last month, and shipping data showed that the export of horse palm oil increased by 8.4% from March 1 to 15. Domestically, the collective correction of oil and fat, the weak performance of soybean oil, the obvious profit-making performance of funds leaving the market, the spot followed down, and the terminal transaction slowed down. The inventory of oil plants fell, the import cost of soybeans and palm oil fell, the operating rate of soybeans fell, and palm oil arrived in Hong Kong less. In operation, more than one profit is closed, and soybean oil is bought and rapeseed oil is sold for arbitrage.

  Maike futures:Horse brown is gradually adjusted, and even brown follows the callback[Oscillating operation]

  Malaysia’s crude palm oil futures market gradually oscillated and fell back due to the lack of new bullish influence, and it is expected to gradually weaken to around RM4,100 for support under the pressure of profit closing; CBOT soybean stopped falling and adjusted. At present, American soybeans are impacted by the listing of South American soybeans, and the later period focuses on the publication of planting area data and the sowing progress of American soybeans. In terms of domestic oils and fats, the delay in the arrival of soybeans in Hong Kong still has some support for the market. In addition, the price advantage of palm oil has declined recently, and soybean oil is replacing palm oil, which has been boosted to some extent. However, it is the traditional off-season demand, and the downstream demand is light, waiting for the disk callback. Operation suggestion: adjust the vibration around soybean oil 7800, palm oil 8000-8300 and vegetable oil 8100-8400.

Remember to turn on this option when sending express delivery to avoid "streaking" of information.

  The reporter visited and found that most express delivery companies did not take the initiative to promote it.

  SF Express has turned off the encryption service, and few users know about it.

  "The user information such as name, telephone number and home address on the express delivery list has not been processed, and personal privacy is in ‘ Streaking ’ Status. " Netizen Mr. Huang reflected the above problems to Wuhan city message board, hoping that the industry supervision department would strengthen management and urge express delivery enterprises to improve the user information protection mechanism.

  The reporter’s investigation found that as early as 2017, some express delivery companies and express delivery platforms tried to launch "privacy sheets". However, after many years, the situation of "streaking" of user information is still widespread, and "privacy list" has not been widely promoted.

  User information "streaking", name, mobile phone number, address at a glance.

  Ms. Li is a resident of Jinqiaohui Phase II in Jiang ‘an District. Recently, the laptop stand she bought online arrived. When she went to the courier station to collect the parcel, she found that the delivery was made by ZTO Express Company. The courier list not only clearly indicated the goods she bought online, but also showed her name, mobile phone number, residential unit building and other information without reservation.

  Ms. Li told reporters that the express parcels that are usually bought online will be deliberately torn up and then thrown away after the outer packaging is removed, but there are also many times when she forgets to handle them. She is very worried that her information has been leaked.

  Mr. Yang, a frequent online shopper, also reflected the same problem. He checked the express parcels he received in recent times and found that the parcels mailed by express companies such as JD.COM, Yunda, Zhongtong and Shunfeng did not protect his personal information on the express list. "If the relevant data is collected and used by criminals, it will be troublesome."

  The citizens’ fears are not groundless. Earlier, there were media reports that some lawless elements collected a large number of express orders and sold them in batches. A seller holds hundreds of thousands of express orders, which are classified according to cosmetics, maternal and child, clothing, etc., and resell after obtaining personal express information.

  Why don’t consumers ask express delivery companies to implement privacy protection measures when sending express delivery? During the interview, many citizens told reporters that it was not that they didn’t care about information leakage, but that they had never heard of such services and didn’t know how to apply.

  The "privacy list" has existed for a long time, and express delivery companies lack the enthusiasm for promotion.

  The reporter learned that as early as 2017, some express delivery companies and express delivery platforms tried to launch "privacy sheets". Some "privacy sheets" replace the middle four digits of the recipient’s mobile phone number with asterisks, while some "privacy sheets" not only do not display the mobile phone number, but also hide the specific address.

  However, the reporter’s recent visit and investigation found that although many express delivery companies still have "privacy face sheet" service, they need users to make their own demands when placing orders or actively choose encryption service options on the APP. Because the relevant tips are hidden, few users know about this service.

  In the rookie station Ouyada Kaixin Building, the reporter saw that there were a large number of express parcels here, and the logistics companies that carried them included Yuantong, Yunda, Zhongtong, Shentong, Debon Express, China Post, Jingdong Logistics, etc. The personal information on the express list was hardly treated as privacy. Many consumers opened the package on the spot after picking it up, and directly left the outer package in the post station, unaware of the possible disclosure of personal information.

  "If you send a courier at the post office, can you treat your personal information privately?" The reporter consulted the staff of the post station as a customer. The other party said that the "privacy list" service can be provided, but it is more troublesome. It is necessary to add the customer WeChat first, and then the staff will handle it on their behalf after sending personal information, which can hide the middle digits of the mobile phone number. "Because it is very troublesome to operate, as long as the customer does not ask for it, we will acquiesce that the other party agrees to disclose the information."

  The reporter then tried to place an order for express delivery on the online platforms of express delivery companies such as SF Express WeChat applet, ZTO Express applet and Jingdong Express applet. When you send a courier by SF Express, if you don’t open the "Information Encryption" option at the bottom of the webpage, the system will disclose personal information by default. In ZTO Express applet, users need to click on the "value-added service" item at the end of the webpage, and then open the "security number" in it, in order to complete the application for privacy sheet. In the Jingdong Express applet, the reporter did not see any relevant tips and services.

  There are technical obstacles in the promotion of "privacy sheet", and the management level is studying it in depth.

  "Express delivery companies will turn off the option of privacy processing of face sheets by default, and only provide this service when users take the initiative to choose. In this way, the enterprise will pass on the obligation of privacy processing of the face sheet to the user. " In the interview, Mr. Yang believes that protecting users’ privacy should be the due responsibility of express delivery companies.

  The reporter learned that the "Provisional Regulations on Express Delivery", which came into effect on May 1, 2018, stipulates that enterprises engaged in express delivery business should establish express waybills and electronic data management systems, properly keep electronic data such as user information, regularly destroy express waybills, and take effective technical measures to ensure the safety of user information.

  The Law on the Protection of Personal Information promulgated on November 1 last year stipulates that no organization or individual may illegally collect, use, process or transmit other people’s personal information, or illegally buy, sell, provide or disclose other people’s personal information.

  According to an industry veteran, technology, investment and delivery efficiency have become important factors affecting the comprehensive popularization of "privacy sheet". The "Privacy Face Sheet" needs the courier to scan the code before viewing the user information, and then the delivery is implemented, which reduces the courier’s work efficiency to some extent. Express delivery companies are not enthusiastic about promotion because of efficiency and other considerations.

  The reporter interviewed the Wuhan Postal Administration, and the relevant person in charge introduced that after investigation, it was found that the situation reflected by netizens was indeed widespread. At present, most express delivery companies did not actively implement the "privacy list" and did not protect users’ personal privacy information.

  "Hiding a few digits in the phone number or hiding part of the address information not only protects the privacy of users, but also enables couriers to deliver accurately and efficiently. To achieve this effect and purpose, there are actually some technical obstacles and a long way to go." The person in charge said that each courier company has its own network system, and their systems are not connected with the system of the post station. When the user’s package arrives at the post station, if the name, address and other information are hidden, the courier can’t send a message to the user, nor can it be delivered to the door.

  The person in charge said that with the growing awareness of users’ personal privacy protection, the national level and provincial and municipal postal administrations are currently conducting in-depth discussions and research. At the same time, the relevant provisions of the Measures for the Administration of Express Delivery Market will be strictly implemented, and the management of all aspects of express delivery enterprises, post stations, couriers and other industries will be strengthened. No unit or individual may illegally use or resell express waybills to protect the information security of express delivery waybills.

  Reporter Wang Yang

Putin says he is happy to be prime minister, ruling out the possibility of assuming the presidency before 2012.


  Profile photo: A huge poster of Putin and Medvedev was set up in the center of St. Petersburg, Russia, which read: "We win together." Both Putin and Medvedev were born in this city, where they also studied and met, and successively entered the highest level of the Russian regime. China News Agency issued Tian Bing photo


  China news agency, Moscow, December 4 th: Dialogue with Putin: "It is very happy to be the prime minister."


  China News Service reporter Tian Bing


  At noon on the 4th Moscow time, the Russian people began to "talk to Putin".


  This is the seventh time that Putin has interacted with the public in the form of nationwide "TV Q&A". The difference is that this time he is the Prime Minister of the government and the leader of the "United Russia Party", and the first six times he was the President of Russia.


  In three hours and eight minutes, Putin answered more than 70 people’s most concerned questions, ranging from the world financial crisis, foreign relations to wage reform, gasoline prices, etc. This is the most representative "test paper" selected from more than 2 million questions put forward by Russian people to the Prime Minister by telephone, internet and SMS.


  Talking about People’s Livelihood Facing the Financial Crisis


  Putin admits that due to the impact of the world financial crisis, Russia’s inflation rate reached about 13% this year, but this year Russia’s economy as a whole is in a benign state, with an economic growth rate of nearly 7%, a real pension increase of 12% and a further increase of 30% next year, with industrial and agricultural output values increasing by 4.5% and 8.8% respectively.


  Putin said that Russia has all favorable conditions to tide over the economic difficulties at the lowest cost, and should make all preparations mentally, organizationally, financially and politically. Russia allocated 5 trillion rubles to support the banking system and provided funds to the real economy through banks. The state will inject capital into large companies on a large scale, and plans to use gold and foreign exchange reserves and various funds to stabilize the currency and prevent the ruble exchange rate from violently fluctuating. But he said that Russia will not restrict the free circulation of foreign exchange.


  Putin assured the people that the government will fulfill all its obligations in raising wages and social payments, and in principle it is not prepared to reconsider plans to modify people’s livelihood and social infrastructure such as investment, housing reform plan, medical insurance system, education reform and pension system reform.


  On diplomacy, improving relations between the United States and Russia


  Putin said that Moscow expects the new US administration to improve the realistic relationship between Russia and the United States after taking office, and is willing to hold dialogue with Washington at any level "on the basis of considering Russia’s interests".


  Putin believes that the NATO foreign ministers’ meeting did not accept Ukraine and Georgia’s "action plan for member States" to join NATO, and Russia has heard people close to Obama and his circle say at the expert level that relations with Russia should not be deteriorated and the suitability of deploying anti-missile systems in Eastern Europe should be reassessed. Putin said that Moscow has seen positive signals. If the US’s remarks turn into real actions, "we will respond accordingly, and our American partners will feel it immediately."


  Putin believes that the EU is Russia’s largest economic and trade partner, and the cooperation between Russia and Europe in the economic and energy fields will enhance the transparency, reliability and stability of both economies. But at the same time, he hoped that the new EU member states would be far-sighted and not always dwell on historical grievances. In the past four years, the EU has added 12 new members, mainly the former Soviet republics and the former eastern bloc countries in Eastern Europe.


  Putin also stressed that there is no need for Russia to establish permanent military bases in Cuba and Venezuela. However, when necessary, Russia can use the ports of Cuba and Venezuela for "warship replenishment of food and fuel".


  Talking about being a prime minister is very happy


  Regarding his feelings of being prime minister for more than half a year, Putin said: "Undoubtedly, this work needs to pay a lot, especially under modern conditions. But fate can give you the opportunity to serve the people, which is very happy. " He said that the most important thing is not the official position, but the responsibility given by the position.


  Putin ruled out the possibility of returning to the presidency before the next presidential election, and he was very satisfied with the efficiency of his "golden partner" with Medvedev. "The next presidential election is in 2012, and everyone should do their part, instead of being busy thinking about what will happen in 2012. We’ll see then."


  During the connection, "Uncle Varojia (Putin’s nickname)" invited Dasha, a little peasant girl living in Buryatia, and her sister and grandmother to Moscow for the New Year, and promised to realize a dream of the little girl: a new dress like Cinderella in fairy tales. At the same time, he encouraged the little girl to study hard and care for her family. "If you think not only about what you want, but also about grandma’s New Year gift, that’s right."


  The last question for Putin is: "What is your favorite?"


  "Russia." Putin replied.

Post-motorcycle prohibition era

  Recently, the survey results of Guangzhou Social Situation and Public Opinion Research Center show that the vast majority of motorcycle users are "means of transportation" users, accounting for 87%; The number of users of "earning a living" is less, accounting for 12%. Guangzhou natives in the motorcycle soliciting army are generally over 40 years old, mostly laid-off workers.

  These people make a living by taking passengers, and they have been riding motorcycles for many years. What will be their post-motorcycle era?

  Lao Wang, the driver of the foreign motorcycle: "I haven’t decided what to do yet."

  At the intersection of Xiancun Village on Huangpu Avenue, there are many motorcycle drivers waiting by the roadside, no matter day or night. The reporter intends to interview a number of motorcycle drivers, but it is fruitless because there are too many people. In the end, the reporter "caught" Lao Wang, the driver of motorcycle who just returned to the roadside, and talked.

  Lao Wang is a Sichuanese. He is 35 years old. He has been engaged in motorcycle soliciting in Guangzhou for three years and hasn’t been home once. "My wife and children are still in their hometown in Sichuan, and I earn some money here by myself."

  Lao Wang lives in a private house in Xian Village, and the monthly rent is more than 400 yuan. "If you don’t have time to cook, you can only eat out, plus expenses such as motorcycle oil and maintenance, you can really get more than 700 yuan a month." This more than 700 yuan will be sent home, and Lao Wang himself has almost no other consumption.

  "What will you do next month?" The reporter asked him, and he thought for a long time before he spoke: "What else can I do? This business can’t be done, but God never shuts one door but he opens another. There are always other things to do." He said that some villagers work in construction companies, and maybe they will look for them themselves. But considering his age, he seems to have lost his confidence. The reporter reminded him that the areas around Guangzhou couldn’t help but be angry. He was still not optimistic: "Panyu and Huadu are unfamiliar. Besides, there are already many people doing this business there. Who knows what will happen?"

  Although he hasn’t gone anywhere for a while, Lao Wang is quite open about the ban on motorcycles in Guangzhou. He said that he was not as angry as others. "It always makes sense for the government to ban it. Although I will complain privately, I am still prepared to accept this result." "Many people think that we don’t obey the traffic rules. In fact, my colleagues with me have done a good job, but those who are hiding behind us after the motorcycle ban can’t rob them."

  

  Xiao Pang, the driver of the foreign motorcycle, said: "I feel that the ban on motorcycles has come a little too fast."

  Although Lao Wang doesn’t intend to continue to do it, after interviewing other drivers, the reporter found that there are still many people who intend to continue running. Xiao Pang, who is also entertaining guests at Xiancun Road, is one of them, although he is still in distress.

  Xiao Pang is in his twenties, but he is married, and all three of his family are in Guangzhou now, and the children are still going to school here. He is also a Sichuanese. He has been driving a motorcycle in Guangzhou for six years to earn money.

  "I still support the government, but I just feel that the ban on motorcycles is coming too fast." Xiao Pang obviously knows Guangzhou very well. "There are too many migrants in Guangzhou, and quite a few people have the demand for motorcycles. I don’t think this market demand can be cut off so easily. If other packages keep up, and no one will take our car, we will naturally not do it, but this is not the case now. "

  He said that now he can get dozens of customers every day, and he can earn more than 2,000 yuan a month. "What will you do in the future?" In the face of the reporter’s question, Xiao Pang was very upset: "Although I really want to continue running, leaving Guangzhou to go around means that the whole family will move away; But don’t run, go and help others to do a job, and you can’t get so much money now. "

  Motorcycle owner Mr. Liang: "I can only buy a bicycle."

  On the road, the reporter saw a motorcycle repair shop. At the door of the shop, many motorcycle owners were discussing how to scrap it, but the repair shop seemed a bit deserted. Soon, the reporter chatted with a Mr. Liang who came to repair.

  Mr. Liang, who is in his thirties, is a native of Guangzhou. He bought a motorcycle ten years ago and has been using it ever since. "Motorcycle is mainly a means of transportation to and from work, but my life is inseparable from it."

  Speaking of banning motorcycles, Mr. Liang became excited: "I am reluctant to ban motorcycles." He said: "My monthly income is just over 3,000 yuan. I can’t drive my motorcycle. I can’t afford a car and a taxi. What should I do?"

  He calculated the account for the reporter. "Even if you take the bus, you have to transfer two buses to work every day, two at a time, and eight dollars a day. You can’t afford the bus." And he said that using motorcycles is not only convenient, but also the cost of a year is not so high.

  Originally, he planned to buy an electric bicycle instead, but he didn’t expect that electric bicycles were banned earlier than motorcycles. "What can I do? I can only buy a bicycle." Mr. Liang is angry and helpless.

  Chen Lexing, captain of Guangzhou Harley Team: "We will drive Harley legally."

  There are never a few people who play with cars in Guangzhou. Apart from cars, there are also a group of people who are loyal FANS of motorcycles. According to online surveys, more than 40% of people say that they like driving motorcycles, which is a pleasure. Harley players have always advertised as "maverick", but after the motorcycle ban, their car playing space will be greatly compressed, whether low-key or maverick.

  "After the motorcycle ban, the’ catwalk’ became a legal way for us to drive Harley. We will arrange the route and drive at the prescribed speed. This kind of driving is different from normal driving, and playing with cars has become a performance. " Chen Lexing, captain of Guangzhou Harley Team, said that he actually realized the impact of the motorcycle ban a long time ago. "Harley has already experienced what we are about to face in some foreign countries, so we have no objection and can only think of other ways, but we will not leave Harley."

  In addition to being invited to participate in performances, Chen Lexing said that his motorcade will be more active in the peripheral cities of Guangzhou and strengthen communication with riders in other areas. In the urban areas, he will try to "leave early and return late" without driving too fast or making a loud noise, and come and go quietly.

  

  opinion on public affairs

  "The comprehensive ban on motorcycles in the central area of Guangzhou aims to help traffic. Generally speaking, banning motorcycles is beneficial to the improvement of traffic order in Guangzhou, because for Guangzhou, a big city with many people and cars, if motorcycles are allowed to mix with cars on the main roads, it will inevitably affect the speed of traffic and lead to chaos in traffic order. After the motorcycle ban, the traffic speed will definitely increase, and the traffic will be smoother and safer. However, after the motorcycle ban, there must be corresponding measures to make up for the demand. "

  —— Liu Weiming, Professor and Doctoral Supervisor, School of Communications, South China University of Technology

  "The main reason for the congestion of urban roads lies in cars, which are small vehicles like motorcycles. Although they will have a certain impact on the speed of car dealers, they are not the most important factors leading to traffic congestion. It is conceivable that after the total ban on motorcycles, more and more people will buy cars, so that the number of vehicles on the road will increase significantly, which will be a severe test for the already overwhelmed traffic. Therefore, there must be timely solutions to traffic problems. "

  —— Relevant persons of the traffic police department

  "Guangzhou’s current bus network is fairly developed, the cost of taking a taxi is too high, which is not affordable for ordinary citizens every day, and the speed of cycling is too slow. Under this circumstance, it seems that it is better to take the subway as much as possible in the future, which is fast and environmentally friendly. "

  —— Citizen Lao Wang

  "I’m going to buy a car, and I’m going to buy one under 100,000. However, it is also very hard to buy and maintain a car. It used to be 3 thousand a year, but now it costs more than 20 thousand a year to keep a car! And if there is a traffic jam, the motorcycle can still drive. Can the car move? We can only stop there and burn oil! So I will choose a car that is particularly fuel-efficient. "

  —— Mr. Chen, a white-collar worker who has worked for two years

  "As a motorcycle owner in Guangzhou, we are willing to compromise for the improvement of the city we love. We can change the mode of travel, but it is not our fault to own a motorcycle. What we expect is an actual transaction price that meets the motorcycle before the motorcycle ban."

  -a netizen who has been riding a motorcycle for 10 years

  "There is no speeding robbery. I don’t need to be afraid when I walk on the road. I can walk on the streets of Guangzhou with confidence. I really didn’t think about it before. "

Member Ma Junsheng: Issue "Pass" to Express Vehicles.

(Reporter Wang Juanjuan) In 2014, the express delivery business volume reached 14 billion pieces, ranking first in the world. However, the use and passage of express vehicles has become an important bottleneck restricting the improvement of service level, which needs to be solved urgently. This year, Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference Commissioner Ma Junsheng once again appealed to the express delivery industry: Can you issue a city "pass" to express delivery vehicles?

 

"There are about 230,000 electric tricycles in the country for express terminal service. However, in some areas, traffic control and traffic environment management are comprehensive ‘ Jindian ’ Measures have affected the efficiency of express terminal services, increased logistics costs and restricted the development of the express delivery industry. " Ma Junsheng said.

 

According to the survey conducted in some cities (148 cities) in China, about 2/3 cities have no clear attitude of prohibition or allow transitional use, and 1/3 cities have been banned.

 

"Therefore, it is recommended that the management department issue the national standards for express delivery vehicles as soon as possible, and formulate standards according to large express delivery vehicles and small and medium-sized express delivery vehicles; Introduce special standards for small and medium-sized express delivery of new energy vehicles, and at the same time, adopt classified management for express delivery vehicles. The Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Transport have issued policies on the passage and parking of express delivery vehicles in the city; And encourage express delivery companies to use small and medium-sized express mail to collect and distribute new energy vehicles as collection and distribution tools. " Ma Junsheng said.

 

At the same time, Ma Junsheng also suggested the implementation of transitional management for express electric tricycles. In combination with the local traffic management reality, cities have implemented transitional management for express delivery of electric tricycles within their jurisdiction, allowing them to pass on the road in accordance with regulations within a certain period of time, and urging enterprises to realize the transformation and upgrading of express delivery vehicles as soon as possible on the basis of ensuring the current demand of citizens for express delivery services.

Large-scale recall of Toyota in North and South; Crown Lu Fang 2.0T exposure; BYD high-end off-road vehicle spy photos

1. A large-scale recall of North and South Toyota, and a number of heavy new cars were recruited.

A few days ago, North and South Toyota filed a recall plan with the State Administration of Markets, and will recall a number of heavy new cars from May 11, totaling 138,900. Specifically, GAC Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. recalled some high-performance versions of Willanda produced from April 19, 2021 to April 6, 2022, some fourth-generation Highlander produced from July 24, 2021 to April 8, 2022, some Saina produced from December 4, 2021 to April 7, 2022, and from February 28, 2022 to April 7, 2022.

FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. recalled some Crown Lu Fang produced from July 27, 2021 to April 7, 2022, totaling 40,800 vehicles; Changchun Fengyue Company of Sichuan FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. recalled some RAV4 Rongfang produced from April 5, 2021 to March 12, 2022 and some Lingfang produced from October 25, 2021 to March 23, 2022, totaling 11,100 vehicles; Toyota Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd. recalled some imported Lexus NX350h/NX400h+ produced from March 31st, 2021 to April 1st, 2022 and some imported Toyota MIRAI produced from August 2nd, 2021 to October 5th, 2021, totaling 4300 vehicles.

Due to the imperfect internal procedures of the vehicle body stability control system (VSC), some vehicles within the recall range cannot automatically return to the open state when the driver manually turns off the VSC function when the vehicle is started, and after the vehicle is turned off and restarted when the brake pedal is kept pressed all the time, and at the same time, the VSC closing prompt light on the instrument panel is lit, at this time, the VSC may not play an effective role, and there are potential safety hazards. Solution: The internal program of brake actuator control ECU will be upgraded free of charge for vehicles within the recall range to eliminate potential safety hazards. Before the recall for repair, if the VSC OFF indicator on the instrument panel lights up after the vehicle is restarted, you can manually turn on the VSC function by pressing the VSC OFF key as required.

2. The flagship version has a new V8 engine, and the new Land Rover Range Rover is on the market.

The brand-new Land Rover Range Rover has been launched. The first batch of four models have been launched, all of which are long-wheelbase versions with a price range of 1.468-2.498 million yuan. The power is equipped with 3.0T low power +48V light mixing, 3.0T high power and 4.4T engine of BMW.

In appearance, the front of the car is still a long headlight+array mesh, and there is an L-shaped daytime running light belt inside. Compared with the old model, the car body is much rounder, and there are many horizontal and vertical lines missing. The rear of the car is a place where the change is obvious. The taillights have become vertical, the size is much smaller, and the exhaust has been changed to hidden, which looks very low-key. The overall layout of the car is still the square and spacious style of Land Rover, but the gear shifting mechanism has become an electronic gear lever with fewer physical buttons.

3. Toyota Crown Lu Fang 2.0T exposure.

We learned from relevant channels that FAW Toyota will launch the fuel version of Crown Lu Fang in September this year. At present, the "sister model" Highlander fuel version of Crown Lu Fang is undergoing road test, and will be equipped with a 2.0T engine. The power of Crown Lu Fang fuel version will be consistent with it, and it is expected that two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions will be provided.

Considering that the fuel version will provide a two-wheel drive version, it is speculated that the price will be significantly lower than the current 2.5L hybrid two-wheel drive version (275,800 yuan), and the starting price may be around 250,000 yuan. According to the traffic insurance data, Crown Lu Fang sold 5,036 new cars in March this year, up 21% from the previous month, but slightly behind Highlander. It is expected that the fuel version will help to usher in new growth in vehicle sales.

4. Non-load-bearing body, spy photos of BYD high-end off-road vehicles

A group of spy photos of BYD’s non-loaded off-road vehicle’s mule car came out on the Internet. It is reported that the car will belong to BYD’s high-end brand, and the price will be around 500-100 million yuan, which will provide EV/DM and other power combinations. At present, the shell of the car cover is tested, so the appearance is not much reference. At first glance, there will be a large-area net and relatively square headlights. The interior has also copied Tang New Energy, but the design style and concept are not visible.

After the success of the tank series, the combination of non-loaded body and off-road vehicle has attracted more and more attention. Some manufacturers combine the current trend with the "new energy" attribute on the basis of off-road vehicle to avoid off-road vehicle becoming a "gas tiger", which is worth looking forward to.

5. The highest increase is 25,000 yuan, and the price is extremely high.

Affected by factors such as the rising price of upstream raw materials, the brand will adjust the price of the model 001 and the right to buy a car. This adjustment will take effect from 0: 00 on May 1. After the adjustment of the price of the extremely krypton 001 model and the right to buy a car, the increase ranged from 0.5 to 25,000 yuan.

Among them, the WE version of the model still maintains the price of 299,000 yuan, but the expansion rights of 5,000 yuan to 10,000 yuan are cancelled; After adjustment, the price of the YOU model is 386,000 yuan, which is 18,000 yuan higher than the original 368,000 yuan. At the same time, the expansion rights of 5,000 yuan to 7,500 yuan are cancelled, and the comprehensive calculation price is 25,000 yuan higher.

6. Suspected ideal X02 latest spy photos exposure

The latest spy photos of the suspected ideal X02 are circulated on the Internet. Judging from the previously exposed new car planning, the car is positioned as a medium and large 6-seat SUV with a body length of 5030mm and a wheelbase of 3000 mm. It is expected to be built based on the second generation extended program platform, which will be released next year, and may be named Ideal L7 in the future. The road test body is covered with heavy camouflage, and the overall design is roughly similar to that of L9. Compared with the ideal L9 to be released soon, the market positioning and price of this car will be slightly lower, which can provide consumers with more choices.

7. Using the slip-back design, Xpeng Motors cross-border SUV spy photos are exposed.

A few days ago, some netizens revealed a group of road test spy photos suspected to be Xpeng Motors’s brand-new SUV. From the spy photos, it can be seen that the C-pillar adopts obvious slip-back design, and the penetrating LED daytime running lights and split headlights on the front face are obviously Xpeng Motors’s family style. In addition, Xpeng Motors revealed that it will launch two brand-new platforms in 2023. Therefore, it can be judged that this new car in the spy photos is most likely a crossover SUV built by Xpeng Motors based on a brand-new platform.

8. It is expected to be listed in the near future, and the medium and large MPV will be named D9.

Tengshi’s new medium and large MPV is officially named D9, and the official revealed that the new car is expected to be listed in the near future. Judging from the official map of the previously released model, the front face has a huge chrome-plated shield-shaped middle net, both sides of which are connected with LED headlights, and the inside of the middle net adopts a scale design. The waistline on the side of the car is smooth and full, and the shape of the light strips on both sides of the penetrating taillights is similar to the tail feathers of ancient arrows, which is highly recognizable.

According to the spy photos of the exposure, the overall design of the interior is relatively simple. The floating large screen basically replaces the physical buttons. The dual-spoke steering wheel adopts a two-color design, and the visual size of the instrument screen is also considerable. The two-color integrated sports seat is quite rare on MPV models. In terms of power, it will be equipped with BYD DM plug-in hybrid and pure electric powertrains.

9. A brand-new pure electric platform was built, and Chang ‘an waxy corn was officially unveiled.

Changan LUMIN brand "waxy corn" was officially unveiled. As a brand-new model of Changan Automobile, it was built on Changan EPA0 platform and positioned as a pure electric mini-car. The overall shape of the car is sleek and cute. The car is made up of blue, white and gray. The 10.25-inch touch screen integrates the functions of reversing image, mobile phone interconnection, voice control, Bluetooth music/phone, personalized UI selection and so on.

The power is equipped with a driving motor with a maximum power of 30kW and Ferrous lithium phosphate battery of Zhongchuang Singapore Airlines, with cruising range of 155km and 210km respectively. Compared with the competitor Hongguang MINIEV, the design of this car is more pleasing, and it also has more ample interior space, and the remaining suspense may only be the price.

10. Chery QQ unbounded Pro power system exposure, listed in the second quarter.

Chery also announced the power information of QQ Unbounded PRO. The new car has a maximum power of 70kW and a top speed of 120km/h, and adopts a rear-mounted rear-drive layout. In terms of styling, it will adopt the cross-border style of cars and SUVs, with a relatively high ground clearance. The body has very rich lines and a good sense of fashion. The door occupies a large proportion of the car body, and the X-shaped C-pillar design also makes it look quite design.

In addition to meeting the most basic needs of urban transportation, Wuling and Chery New Energy have started to expand new markets on this basis, but the consumers who pursue individuality are, after all, a minority. So can this type of car become the next generation of "god car"?

KIA China Jin Jingyu: EV5 Chengdu’s world premiere will become the main force and explosion of Kia China’s electrification transformation.

[Global Network Auto Report] On August 25th, Kia China ushered in the listing of the global representative electric vehicle EV6 at the 2023 Chengdu International Auto Show, and launched the main model of the electrification transformation of Kia China in the world-EV5. It can be described as a good show and full of electricity. After the meeting, Kim Kyung-hyun, general manager of Kia China, Yang Honghai, chief operating officer of Kia China, and Park Yuhuan, head of the marketing department of Kia China, and other leaders accepted special interviews with mainstream media such as the World Wide Web.

What are the core and highlights of Kia brand communication at Chengdu International Auto Show 2023?

Kim kyung-hyun:At present, China is leading the global automobile market into the era of electrification, and the sales of new energy vehicles show explosive growth, which officially ushered in the EV era. Kia Motors is a global automobile brand with a history of nearly 80 years. It has become the core of Kia’s global strategy to gain a deep and clear insight into this trend in China’s automobile market and ensure that the EV business can achieve results in China’s automobile market. At this year’s Chengdu International Auto Show, you will see that Kia China has officially transformed into an electric car brand. The global representative electric vehicle EV6 of Kia and the main model EV5 of Kia China’s electric transformation can be said to be our biggest highlights.

EV5 made its global debut and started pre-sale. As a household electric SUV, what are the core advantages of EV5? What is Kia’s market expectation for EV5?

Kim kyung-hyun:At this Chengdu Auto Show, KIA EV5 made its world debut, and it is expected that it will be the first to be listed in China market in November this year. EV5 has a square and bold SUV style that is completely different from the EV models of the same class, spacious interior space, romantic front seats, 0-degree folding seats in the rear row, multifunctional desk board in the trunk and other functional configurations to enhance the user’s sense of use, providing an innovative vehicle experience. The 700-kilometer long battery life and 27-minute fast charging greatly alleviate the mileage anxiety in daily life and make travel more free; It is the first time to use the latest generation car entertainment system, and it is equipped with rich China localized apps such as WeChat, which supports OTA remote upgrade, and will become a "ever-changing life intelligent cabin" commonly used by users.

Based on its unique design and innovative space utilization, EV5 will bring more practicality and new value to users in daily life. It is not only a simple means of transportation, but also a close partner with life. EV5 not only has excellent product performance, but also has a competitive advantage in terms of price. It is believed that its listing will be successful in the core market of EV, thus accelerating the electrification transformation of Kia China. In addition, we hope to start with the successful listing of EV5 in China, build it into an explosive model in Kia EV product line, and also play a core role in the electrification transformation of Kia China.

As the first strategic vehicle in China, EV5 is developed for the needs of users in China. What is the core configuration and USP of this vehicle?

Kim kyung-hyun:First of all, I want to share with you from the aspect of design. EV5 is a rare orthodox SUV model in the EV market. Its bold and creative design is highlighted by its tough shape, which shows its distinctive hard-core temperament. EV5 has excellent vision, spacious interior space and long wheelbase, which can provide users with more comfortable and practical space. Secondly, EV5 upgrades the user experience in the car, and has many personalized advantages and highlights. Romantic front seats provide users with an unprecedented sense of spaciousness. The EV5 front seat backrest is also equipped with a multifunctional small table board, a central drawer-type heating and cooling incubator, and V2L external discharge, which will bring users a more comfortable car experience. Considering that users like camping and camping life scenes very much, EV5 is equipped with a second row of fully folding seats, a multifunctional desk in the trunk, a front trunk with a capacity of 67L, a movable hook and many other functions. EV5 also provides a zero-gravity main driving seat with massage function, which can be relaxed with one button, and can also be used when charging, thus greatly improving comfort and efficiency.

Secondly, EV5 has excellent electrification technology. As mentioned just now, in order to meet the needs of users in China for long battery life, EV5 has a maximum cruising range of over 700 kilometers, and is in the leading position at the same level. The fast charging function of about 27 minutes relieves users’ daily charging anxiety and enables them to charge more freely. In addition, there are dual motors, which is also a good choice for users who want to have differentiated power performance.

In addition, EV5 also has very strong safety performance, adding a semi-automatic lane-changing expressway auxiliary system, equipped with the latest second-generation remote control intelligent parking auxiliary system, and the auxiliary performance of front, side and rear parking anti-collision, which expands the detection range of the front anti-collision auxiliary system with very high daily departure frequency and provides users with a more secure travel experience.

Finally, EV5 is equipped with a new generation of in-vehicle infotainment system for the first time in China, with emphasis on the application content of China localized software, and more than 30 kinds of small programs such as videos, e-books, games and learning, so as to provide customers with a better entertainment experience. In addition, we put WeChat into our vehicle system to support safe communication during driving, and EV5 also supports the remote upgrade function of OTA for the whole vehicle, which is also the first application in China, and can update and upgrade all kinds of vehicle functions in real time, bringing users a common and new car experience.

Kia has released a new energy strategy for the China market. What’s the current progress? What are the main achievements?

Kim kyung-hyun:In March this year, Kia China officially released China’s new energy strategy through EV Day, innovating and upgrading its brand, products, channels, services and other business sectors, accelerating the transformation to an electric brand, and making every effort to create the image of Kia EV as "high-tech, high-quality and high-safety".

At present, KIA EV6 has been listed, and EV5 has also started pre-sale. As a heavy strategic model, this car was first listed in China market, which shows that KIA attaches importance to China market and users. In addition, in 2024, we will also launch the flagship EV model EV9. By 2027, a total of six EV models will be launched to accelerate the medium and long-term electrification transformation, and strive to achieve an annual sales volume of 450,000 vehicles by 2030, of which 180,000 are EV models, accounting for 40% of EV sales.

We are also focusing on improving and upgrading the channel network. At present, KIA has cooperated with large dealer groups such as Simami, Jinlong, Tongli and Xinhanma, and more than 10 brand-new stores have been opened in core cities across the country. We have also built a new City Store in the core business districts of key cities across the country, and continued to promote the upgrade of SI 2.0 of 4S stores across the country, which will build a brand and service system that matches the era of electrification.

In terms of charging network facilities, in August, the first 800V overcharge station jointly operated by Kia and Shell was officially opened for operation. In the future, we will continue to cooperate with Shell to continuously expand the construction of overcharging stations in key cities. In addition, we will cooperate with China charging enterprises such as Energy Link Smart Power (Express Power) to provide KIA EV users with a more efficient and convenient charging experience.

In the future, we will cooperate closely with Kia China Yantai Institute of Technology, Shanghai Forward-looking Digital R&D Center and China Big Data Center, systematically analyze the characteristics of China market and users’ needs, and launch innovative models that meet the needs of users in China. As a core part of Kia China EV strategy, Kia will continue to expand investment in China and unswervingly deepen the China market.
