On March 8th, BYD plug-in hybrid vehicle, Qin PLUS (parameter picture) DM-i went on the market, and four configurations were launched, with the subsidized price of 105,800-145,800 yuan. Whether it is the fuel consumption of 3.8 liters, the cruising range of 1245 kilometers, or the wheelbase of 2718mm that meets the standard of Didi, it can become the new favorite of the online car market.

Price subversion goes straight into the mainstream range of fuel cars

This time, the pricing of Qin PLUS DM-i has completely subverted the user’s price perception of plug-in models. In the past, there was a big price difference between plug-in and hybrid models and fuel cars of the same class, and the two markets were relatively independent. This time, Qin PLUS DM-i went straight into the mainstream price range of fuel cars, and the market boundary no longer existed. Coupled with the five major gifts launched simultaneously, BYD is full of sincerity.

Compared with the fuel vehicle of the same class, the BYD DM-i super hybrid system carried by Qin PLUS DM-i takes Xiaoyun-plug-in special 1.5L high-efficiency engine, EHS electric hybrid system and DM-i super hybrid special blade battery as the core, and even in the state of power loss, the fuel consumption of Qin PLUS DM-i can be as low as 3.8L per 100 kilometers, only over 20 cents per kilometer. In the state of full oil and electricity, the comprehensive cruising range of the 55KM version can reach 1180 km, and the 120KM version can reach 1245 km.

The design of Qin PLUS DM-i follows the Dragon Face family design language. The large mouth air intake grille is full of atmosphere, and the sharp headlights are not fashionable. The interior still uses the screen size to support the overall atmosphere. Although the LCD screen size of the dashboard is only one nainai, look at the starting price of 100,000. What kind of bicycle do you want?

BYD has never lost its sense of science and technology, such as DiLink 3.0 intelligent network connection system, cloud service, remote driving, NFC car keys, OTA remote upgrade of the whole vehicle, mobile power station and other technological configurations.

In terms of safety, Qin PLUS DM-i is equipped with DM-i super hybrid special blade battery, and adopts the world’s first pulse self-heating and the world’s leading refrigerant direct cooling technology to achieve long life and reliable safety, which relieves a big worry for new energy users.

Coupled with more than 20 intelligent driving assistance functions such as ACC-S&G stop-and-go full-speed adaptive cruise system, CSC curve speed control system, LKS active lane keeping system, LDWS lane departure warning system, AEB-CCR automatic emergency braking system, the safety can be described as very comprehensive.

With the price in the early 100,000 s, low fuel consumption, long battery life, good appearance, decent interior and, most importantly, the green license plate, Qin PLUS DM-i believe that the protagonist will become the network car you hit. What I have to spit out is that BYD’s product naming method is too complicated and lacks recognition. It is suggested to simplify the sorting again and at least reduce some confusing English abbreviations.

CCTV News:When many people hear about avocado, their first impression may be the expensive imported fruit. But now, this online celebrity "foreign fruit" has taken root, blossomed and borne fruit in Menglian County, Pu ‘er City, Yunnan Province, and the domestic avocado is gradually coming to the table of consumers.

Reporter Guo Linjie:I am now in the core avocado planting base in China — — Nanya Village, Menglian County, Pu ‘er City, Yunnan Province. At present, green fruits are covered with branches, and fruit farmers are busy picking and packing.

Zhaduo, a grower in Nanya Village, Menglian County, Yunnan Province:The output and price in 2022 are not bad.

It is understood that Menglian, Yunnan and Mexico, the capital of avocado in the world, are at the same golden latitude, which is warm and sunny all year round, while the different planting altitudes greatly lengthen the ripening period of fruits, so that avocado harvesting can start in late September and last until March of the following year. Compared with imported avocados, it takes more than one month to reach the China market by sea. With the advantage of producing area, Menglian avocados can be picked at the best maturity and taste fresher.

Reporter Guo Linjie:Avocados picked from trees are transported to the sorting center. The intelligent fruit sorter beside me can sort the fruits and clean, sterilize and keep them fresh. In addition, it can also eliminate those fruits with any defects such as cracks and moths on the surface, and truly realize high-quality fruit screening.

According to the relevant person in charge, after sorting, these "quality fruits" with a weight of 70 grams or more and a complete surface will be packed in different grades, and then distributed to wholesale markets and large supermarkets by cold chain vehicles or air transportation according to the distance of their destinations, with a daily shipment of nearly 5 tons.

Rebecca, marketing staff of Menglian Industrial Investment Group Co., Ltd.:Bulk (commodity) customers account for about 90%, and the demand is very large. We promise to send out the orders of the day every day, and we must also send out fresh fruits if we work overtime.

Up to now, Menglian in Yunnan has become the largest avocado planting base in China. The planting area of avocado is 70,400 mu, and the output of fresh fruit is expected to be more than 10,000 tons.

Global game developers gather in GDC at this time every year to hold technical lectures, share development experience, display game achievements, and conduct in-depth exchanges and discussions around hot and cutting-edge issues in the industry.

Citic Jiantou pointed out that looking back at the GDC conference in 2023, AI became the biggest keyword, and industry head companies such as Microsoft, Ubisoft and Roblox shared how AI innovated game production/operation, including reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and creating new gameplay, which also drove the A-share game sector to rise sharply. It is necessary to focus on the catalysis of this year’s GDC conference on the game sector. As can be seen from the theme of the 2024 conference, AI has penetrated into more game production links and more game categories.
