Recommended middle and high-end FAW Toyota Crown Lu Fang car purchase manual.

  [car home Car Handbook] Crown was also a household name at the beginning, but unfortunately it was badly managed in China and was in an embarrassing situation. However, in the near future, the launch of (|) may help the brand out of the haze. Lu Fang is a medium-sized SUV. In fact, it is the sister model of Guangzhou Automobile Toyota Highlander. Except for the appearance and logo, it is almost the same in other aspects. Of course, FAW Toyota will also launch several models according to Lu Fang’s own characteristics. Today, we will analyze which one is more cost-effective.

■ Model price

  On August 27th, Lu Fang, the brand-new medium-sized SUV of FAW Toyota, was officially launched.The new car has launched six models, with the price range of 275.8-350.8 million yuan.Please see the following table for detailed selling price:

  This price is very close to the price of the new generation Highlander. The difference is that Crown Lu Fang has two low-profile models as precursors, and the other four models are all four-wheel drive versions.

  FAW Toyota Crown Lu Fang is surrounded by the same sports appearance as the American Highlander XSE model. Compared with Highlander, the front enclosure of the new car adopts a larger grille design, and the large black horizontal grille makes the front face of the new car have a more exaggerated visual effect. The rear part is almost the same as Highlander. The main difference is that the new car adopts a double-layer design with different colors from the car body at the bumper below, which echoes the front of the car.

  There are five choices of body colors. We have actually photographed two high-end models, Paris Red and Mo Yuan Black, besides streamer silver, carbon crystal brown and platinum white. In terms of interior, the suspended central control large screen, air conditioning control area integrated with the screen and three-spoke multi-function steering wheel of the new car are exactly the same as those of Highlander. The interior color provides two schemes of matching black and red and black. In contrast, the Paris red appearance+red and black interior highlights the sense of movement, but the color matching is exclusive to the top.

■ The whole power system is 2.5 hybrid.

  In terms of power, Crown Lu Fang is equipped with a hybrid system (2.5HEV) based on a 2.5L four-cylinder engine. The maximum power of the 2.5L engine is 192 HP (141kW) and the peak torque is 238 Nm. The transmission system is matched with the E-CVT gearbox. In terms of motor, the two-wheel drive version is equipped with a 134kW motor, while the four-wheel drive version adds a 40kW rear motor. Overall, the comprehensive output power of this HEV power system is 249 HP (183kW).

■ Configuration analysis

● Two-wheel drive enterprising version, the only five seats, not recommended.

  Let’s take a look at the lowest progressive version of the whole department. This configuration is only one model, and it is a 5-seat version. I believe many people will not choose it. After all, people who buy Lu Fang or Highlander are going for 7 seats, so this 5-seat version is mainly for lowering the entry price.

● Elite version, two-wheel drive is 11 thousand worse than four-wheel drive (general configuration, only recommended to consumers with tight budget)

Home of the car

  Next, get on the right track, add 6,000 yuan to the 5-seat version, and you will get the 7-seat version, and then add 11,000 yuan to get a four-wheel drive system. To tell the truth, the price of this four-wheel drive system is not low, because this four-wheel drive system is based on electric drive, it has no central transmission shaft, and the rear axle has a 40kW motor, which is the rear axle motor and related electrical components that cost an extra 11,000 yuan. Simply put, the biggest competitiveness of entry-level models is the price. Since the map is cheap, just buy a two-wheel drive.

Home of the car

  What configurations does the Elite Edition have? The standard LED headlights are not bad, but the 18-inch rim specifications are really a bit miserable. The interior is just so-so. The 7-inch color display and 8-inch central control panel of the instrument panel are relatively conventional. The multimedia system supports HiCar, CarPlay and CarLife, and the function is not bad. The basic safety and comfort configuration, the elite version of this car is also in place, as well as Fengyun Yuexiang Fengyun Zhixing interconnection configuration, which includes many practical functions, such as App remote control, theft tracking, concierge service, enjoyable parking/refueling and emergency rescue, which can be regarded as keeping up with the trend of the times.

FAW Toyota Crown Lu Fang 2021 2.5L HEV Four-wheel Drive Premium Edition

  However, the elite version doesn’t have reversing radar and reversing images. I didn’t expect Japanese cars to make a fuss about these things these days. I believe that consumers who buy this car basically have to spend extra money to install reversing images or radars. However, Toyota’s Zhixing safety system is the standard of all departments in Crown Lu Fang, which is kinder than Highlander, especially adaptive cruise and pre-collision system, and many people attach great importance to it. Generally speaking, the price of the elite version of the two-wheel drive is quite sincere, but because the configuration is still relatively low, it is only suitable for those consumers with tight budgets.

● Deluxe edition, 21,000 more expensive than elite edition, recommended by four stars.

  Compared with the elite version, the price gap is 21,000 yuan, and the configuration is slightly upgraded. The first thing is to change the 20-inch rim, which is worthy of Lu Fang’s size. Secondly, the reversing radar that spit in front finally came. In details, the Deluxe Edition has also been slightly improved. For example, the roof rack, the openable panoramic sunroof, the leather steering wheel, the leather seat (with front heating), the rear privacy glass and the doorsill pedal are all equipment that add extra points to the image. The most important thing is that Highlander doesn’t have this model. I think Crown Lu Fang is just right. I recommend it to four stars.

● Distinguished edition, 19,000 scientific and technological sense improved obviously, recommended by four stars.

  The price of the premium version is 19,000 yuan higher than that of the luxury four-wheel drive model of the previous gear. The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel and 12.3-inch central control screen have been upgraded to support voice recognition control, car networking and OTA upgrade, but the configurations such as HiCar, CarPlay and CarLife have been cancelled. In addition to the four Type-C interfaces of the whole car, there is also a USB interface in the front row. There is also a 360 panoramic image function, HUD head-up display, electric trunk, automatic anti-glare rearview mirror, and automatic folding of the exterior rearview mirror, which has obviously improved the sense of luxury and technology.

● Ultimate edition, plus 18,000 to complete the configuration, recommended by four stars.

  The flagship version of the top is mainly improved in comfort configuration, and the price has increased by another 18,000, such as an increase.The seat material has also been upgraded to perforated leather, and the interior also has more luxurious decorative strips and JBL audio. There are also front seat ventilation, lumbar support, main driver seat memory, steering wheel heating, streaming rearview mirror, car air purifier, second row seat heating and 220V power supply. Active safety has also been further upgraded, with the addition of parallel auxiliary and reversing vehicle side early warning system. Of course, the price of this car has also reached 350,800 yuan, which can be considered by consumers who pursue one step, and they can also choose red and black interiors.

■ Summary:

  As we all know, this generation of Highlander has adopted a new structure, new power, and long-term excellent reputation, which has kept it in the treatment of raising the price and picking up the car. The appearance of sister car FAW Toyota Crown Lu Fang may be able to suppress the arrogance of Highlander. After all, the products are almost the same, and with the blessing of Crown brand, it is really unreasonable to sell them any more.Of course, domestic consumers are addicted to word of mouth. After all, not many people in Lu Fang have heard of it, so it is not so easy to catch up with Highlander in sales.

  From the product point of view, the entry-level progressive version is 5 seats, which can be directly ignored. The elite version is a bit shabby, but fortunately, it is cheap, and there are two drives to choose from, which seems to be enough for those consumers who only value space and big size. The Deluxe Edition configuration can satisfy most people, while the Premium Edition and the Ultimate Edition configuration are gradually more comprehensive.Generally speaking, the price/performance ratio of middle and high-end models is not bad.(Text/Figure car home Zhang Ziyi)

In 2023, the stock game of six major e-commerce platforms

In 2022, according to the financial report and calculation data, there were six e-commerce platforms with GMV exceeding or approaching the trillion scale, namely: Taobao/Tmall 8.3 trillion, JD.COM 3.47 trillion, Pinduoduo 3.3 trillion, Meituan 1.6 trillion, Tik Tok 1.5 trillion and Aauto Quicker 0.7 trillion. (Because the WeChat applet and video number contain multiple e-commerce platforms and entity retailer applets, it is suspected of repeating GMV calculation, so statistics are not added separately. )

In addition to GMV data, Taobao/Tmall/Pinduoduo, which have the largest number of users on e-commerce platforms, both exceed 900 million, which means there is still room for 500 million users to increase. However, if the elderly aged 70 and above and children aged 10 and below are excluded, the room for users to grow is basically very small.

From these two data, we can see that the e-commerce industry in China has really entered the competition stage of the stock market from 2023, and the most obvious feature is that the growth rate of platform GMV and users continues to slow down, or even negative growth.

Then, in the stock market stage, what strategies will the six major e-commerce platforms adopt to maintain their existing market position, and at the same time launch competition with other platforms to gain new growth?

First, Taobao’s five strategies

Zhang Yong once said on the earnings conference call in the third quarter of 2022 that the biggest threshold of Ali platform is that it has formed a methodology to help businesses continue to operate.

In the organizational adjustment at the end of last year, he said that Ali should change from "fixed" to "advanced". Internally, he also stressed that he should change from "defensive" to "advanced". With the five strategies of live broadcast, private domain, content, local retail and price power clear, Ali will finally start to take the initiative to attack and play a stock game with e-commerce rookies such as Pinduoduo and Tik Tok in 2023.

The purpose of these five strategies is to continuously improve the user experience and life cycle value of Taobao’s more than 900 million users, mainly including three aspects:

First, provide richer consumption forms through three strategies: live broadcast, private domain and content, and strengthen user stickiness and duration.

Taobao live broadcast is one of the fastest growing businesses in the whole Taobao department in 2022. In the first nine months, nearly 200 live broadcast rooms with turnover exceeding 100 million yuan have been generated on Taobao live broadcast. In the past year, there were 25,000 live broadcast rooms with an annual turnover of over one million, and 334 categories with an annual turnover of over 10 million and a growth rate of over 100%.

From May to September, 2022, the monthly turnover (GMV) of Taobao Waist Anchor maintained a year-on-year growth of more than 50%. Before the Double Eleven last year, Ali officially released a set of data: in the past year, Taobao added more than 500,000 anchors, and more than 100 live broadcast organizations settled in Taobao in the first two months of the Double Eleven.

At the same time, Taobao Live has precipitated 120 million new members for brand guidance, with more than 20 purchases per capita, and the average daily ARPU value exceeds that of 30 yuan.

In terms of private domain, as early as the end of 2020, Taobao App underwent a major product revision. One of the most important changes was to upgrade the important position of merchants’ private domain "Weitao" to "subscription", and "subscription" and "recommendation" were juxtaposed to form two major channels on Taobao’s home page.

Taobao’s public domain traffic is concentrated on the "recommendation" page, and the platform controls the traffic distribution and makes personalized recommendations according to the user’s usual click behavior; Private domain traffic, including "subscription" page, shop and details page, group chat, etc., has become an important position for merchants to operate fans and members in Taobao.

It is reported that Ali is currently trying to upgrade Tmall’s flagship store. The general direction is to change the single store form dominated by shelves in the past. Secondly, the construction of brand members will be a key point of this upgrade.

On September 1st, 2022, at the 2022 Taobao Live Festival held in Hangzhou, Taobao Live 2.0 "New Content Era" was officially released. The live broadcast of this domain and the first guess, shopping, search, hand-scouring fields with good goods and point-scouring realized "common domain connectivity", and the traffic distribution mechanism was changed from the main indicator of transaction to the dual indicator of transaction and content, and the live broadcast rooms with good content and high conversion will get more public domain traffic.

Cheng Daofang, general manager of Alibaba Taobao Live Business Group, said that excellent content entrepreneurs will receive all-round support such as industry binding, commission incentives and exclusive traffic when they enter Taobao. "In the past, many people had the impression of e-commerce live broadcast. We have made clear the new value proposition of Taobao content, that is,’ professional and interesting people will take you to buy’. "

It is reported that the four anchor policies released this time, such as the new pilot plan, the light guide alliance, the super new coffee plan and the source power plan, will support the doubling of 2,000 accounts, the annual turnover of 5,000 stores will exceed 10 million, and 100 content accounts with more than one million fans will be cultivated, and the benchmark accounts with over 10 million transactions will be incubated in the industrial belt for 500 years.

In 2023, "content-oriented" will continue to be listed as one of the strategic priorities, and the business departments related to big Taobao products will also adjust their organizational structures in the same period. For example, "browsing" and homepage recommendation business will be merged by one person, and more content originally on the "browsing" channel will appear in the homepage information flow in the future.

Second, through a clear "price power" to continuously improve the cost performance of goods, including the design of market mechanism, various marketing products, and the business model of Taote agricultural products and factory goods directly reaching consumers (D2C and F2C).

When Zhang Yong was asked how to look at the low-cost subsidy competition of his peers in the past fourth quarter of 2022, he said that price is a very important customer experience, but throughout history, only low-cost subsidies and low-level competition can not change the situation.

"Only the innovation of technology and business mechanism can truly let merchants give the best goods and prices to consumers, forming a positive cycle."

In other words, Ali’s "price power" is not just a simple low price, but a cost performance ratio under high quality.

"Price Power" will be implemented by Zou Yan, the former head of Taote products, and reported to Wang Mingqiang, the head of platform development center of Big Taobao.

An Ali person familiar with the situation said that Zou Yan’s role is similar to that of PM (Project Manager) in the campaign of "Price Power". On the one hand, he is responsible for importing the low-cost supply and service practices accumulated by Taote before, and on the other hand, he is responsible for docking the business centers of Big Taobao.

The third is to fulfill the contract through local supply and local logistics, and cooperate with Taoxianda and TaoCaicai to meet the immediate demand for high-frequency goods, which is the local retail strategy.

As early as May 2020, Ali made clear the retail battlefield in the same city headed by "Tmall Supermarket+Taoxianda+Box Horse". On February 9th this year, the background platform of Tmall merchants issued a notice, adding a delivery mode in the same city, supporting multi-capacity calls and displaying logistics details. Merchants can choose relevant delivery services from instant delivery platforms such as Hummingbird Matching, UU Running Legs, Shunfeng Tongcheng and Flash Delivery, or contact other platform riders or merchants to deliver their own goods to meet users’ immediate receiving needs.

This means that Ali will continue to increase local retail in 2023.

In the view of "Zhuangshuai Retail E-commerce Channel", the success of Taobao live broadcast is the main position of Ali. No matter whether it is private domain, content-based or local retail, we can make breakthrough progress by relying on Taobao live broadcast, continuously increase the scale of DAU for daily users, activate the shelf mall system of the main station, and continue to play games with three new e-commerce platforms, namely Pinduoduo, Tik Tok/Aauto Quicker and WeChat Video.

In addition, with the adjustment of organizational structure at the end of 2022, Zhang Yong announced that he will concurrently be the CEO of Alibaba Cloud Smart, and it can be seen that Ali will actively consider the business model changes and breakthroughs brought about by technological innovation while actively investing in technology research and development and increasing 2B business.

Second, JD.COM’s four must-win battles

The annual JD.COM Retail Commendation Conference was held in a low-key manner on March 7th. Xu Lei, CEO of JD.COM Group, and Xin Lijun, CEO of JD.COM Retail, both attended and made speeches. At the meeting, Xu Lei pointed out bluntly the long-standing problem in JD.COM-it is difficult to push forward the reform with the goal of "separation of mining and marketing".

Xu Lei said that it must be thoroughly implemented this year. "If it doesn’t change, this company will be finished!" .

Xin Lijun briefly reviewed the difficulties of JD.COM retail in the past year, pointed out the existing problems of JD.COM retail, and put forward four battles that JD.COM retail will win in 2023-sinking the market, building a middle platform in the supply chain, opening up the ecological construction and doing business in the same city.

From the long-term research and analysis of JD.COM by Zhuangshuai Retail E-commerce Channel, it is found that the construction of middle platform and the open ecological construction in the supply chain are actually serving the sinking market and the same city business, and these four must-win battles are also the battles of fully opening the platform in JD.COM.

In 2020, Xu Lei’s battle for JD.COM retail was "omni-channel, sinking market and platform ecology". At that time, Jingxi’s business had just begun to explore the sinking market, and Dashang Super-omni-channel business group was also established at the end of April of that year, and it became the fastest growing business in JD.COM in the following two years.

Last year, due to the abolition of Jingxi, JD.COM’s retail industry removed the "sinking market" in the battle to win, and became "large, medium and large units in the supply chain, omni-channel, search and recommendation, and business in the same city". With the stabilization of Shangchao’s business, and this year’s "low price strategy" was clarified and a long-term subsidy plan of 10 billion yuan was launched, JD.COM once again designated "sinking market" as a battle to win.

After all, in the battle for the sinking market, Liu Qiangdong had previously stressed internally that the retreat of Jingxi business did not mean that JD.COM gave up the sinking market.

JD.COM’s business in the same city includes Dada Group’s JD.COM home and the main station’s JD.COM hourly shopping, which has become an emerging business that can continue to maintain double-digit growth.

According to the financial report data released by Dada Group, in 2022, the total transaction volume (GMV) of JD.COM’s home platform reached RMB 63.3 billion, up 46.9% year-on-year, and the number of active stores exceeded 220,000, up 50% year-on-year, with 78.6 million active users and 62.3 million active users in 2021.

With the high-profile launch of "Ten Billion Subsidies" in JD.COM, the campaign to vigorously promote open ecological construction and attack the sinking market again has officially started. ?????????????

Three, Pinduoduo’s four strategies

In terms of agricultural strategy, Chen Lei, chairman and CEO of Pinduoduo, believes that "agricultural digitalization has just started, and there is still a long way to go".

In the future, Pinduoduo will continue to increase investment in agriculture, and remain dedicated and patient with this long-term vision, and strive to contribute to agricultural and rural modernization and rural revitalization.

Wang Jian, senior vice president of Pinduoduo, said that it is Pinduoduo’s long-term strategy to re-invest and re-supplement the agricultural sector. In addition to the zero commission policy for agricultural products merchants that has been implemented since its inception, this year, we will continue to deepen the promotion of helping agriculture and benefiting farmers around six aspects: increasing supply, expanding consumption, stabilizing production and marketing, cultivating talents, strengthening science and technology, and helping infrastructure.

According to the data, in 2021, Pinduoduo Platform generated a total of 61 billion orders, up 59% year-on-year, of which the sales of agricultural products accounted for 14%, and the growth rate of agricultural orders was particularly significant.

Kim Dae-jung Since 2019, Pinduoduo has held four consecutive agricultural goods festivals, and the number of radiation producing areas has expanded from 500 in 2019 and over 1,100 in 2021 to nearly 2,000 this year.

In 2022, it was upgraded to "Super Agricultural Goods Festival", which became the promotion activity with the longest duration, the largest production area and the largest subsidy among all e-commerce platforms.

According to the "Report on the Growth of New Farmers in 2021" issued by Pinduoduo, by October 2021, the number of "new farmers" had exceeded 126,000, accounting for more than 13% of the agricultural businesses. Among them, women accounted for more than 31%, reaching more than 39,000; 00, accounting for more than 16%, reaching more than 20 thousand people.

In terms of brand strategy, in 2021, Pinduoduo upgraded its "New Brand Plan", supported 100 industrial belts from 2021 to 2025, and customized 100,000 new brand products, driving sales of 1 trillion yuan.

At the beginning of 2022, Pinduoduo launched "Duoduo New Country Tide". According to the data of "Duoduo New Country Tide Consumption Report 2022", by the end of 2021, the number of domestic brands in Pinduoduo had increased by 270% year-on-year, and there were 327 brands with sales exceeding 100 million, including more than 50 old brands with sales exceeding 100 million and more than 30 new country tide brands with sales exceeding 100 million. The number of domestic products entering the platform had increased by far more than 530.

In the third quarter, "Many New Craftsmen Made" was released to promote the digital upgrading of local handicraft industry, non-legacy industry and secondary industry, and help the industrial revitalization of counties and villages.

Obviously, Pinduoduo’s brand strategy is divided into two directions: attracting investment to introduce mature brands, upgrading white or factory brands and farmers to brands.

Finally, through the platform advantages and traffic empowerment, we will provide a full range of professional services including digital tools, brand planning and promotion, technology research and development, design support and so on for many factories, farmers and craftsmen.

In terms of overseas strategy, in September 2022, Pinduoduo officially launched Temu, a cross-border e-commerce platform in North America. Currently, its overseas markets include the United States, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

According to official data, as of March 2023, Temu had dominated the App Store shopping list and Google Play shopping list for several days, with more than 40 million new downloads.

Temu adopted the pre-Pinduoduo game, with large front-end traffic, quick and accurate marketing strategy, and presented in the form of a shop, and opened JIT (just-in-time production system) to facilitate merchants’ payment and measurement. At the back end, Temu’s goal is to sell one store worldwide, that is, the stores that meet the standard will be synchronized directly, and the synchronized goods will directly have a new round of incremental market traffic bonus without additional operation by the seller.

Since its launch, Temu’s hot-selling products such as women’s wear and small household appliances have sold more than 10,000 pieces per day, and the daily sales of a single store have exceeded 30,000 pieces. At present, Temu’s number of parcels in the United States has exceeded SHEIN.

The relevant person in charge of cross-border e-commerce business in Pinduoduo said that it will provide all-round infrastructure services to manufacturing enterprises going out to sea, including domestic and foreign warehousing, cross-border logistics and after-sales service, so as to open a "full link" cross-border channel for manufacturing enterprises.

From the long-term research on Pinduoduo conducted by Zhuangshuai Retail E-commerce Channel, it can be seen that the moat formed by agricultural products can keep the sinking market, and the repurchase rate of users in first-and second-tier cities can be improved by increasing the proportion of brand merchants, while the expansion of overseas markets can find more incremental markets.

In terms of local life and instant retailing, Pinduoduo’s entry advantage is also obvious. Apart from the user scale of 900 million, it also includes the operation ability of e-commerce platform, more than 1.8 million merchant resources, the push team for community group buying and the social tools based on WeChat.

In March, an investment promotion document showed that after the local life business of Kuaituan was officially launched, it will be launched at the personal center of WeChat applet and the homepage of the head of the delegation. For early admission merchants, Kuaituan will provide "one-to-one service for city managers, support for traffic resources, and product selection by official operators".

The data used in the poster to attract service providers are: GMV of 80% resident service providers increased by 200%, and the arrival rate of 50% offline merchants increased by 35%, providing 30 million daily activities and trillions of exposures.

Obviously, the four strategies of agriculture, brand, overseas and local life can make Pinduoduo form differentiated competition with other e-commerce platforms in the sinking market and overseas market, and thus continue to make profits.

Fourth, Meituan’s "Retail+Technology"

In September 2021, Wang Xing upgraded the strategy of Meituan from "Food+Platform" to "retail+technology". A month later, a special group was set up within Meituan to be responsible for the discussion and resolution of retail-related businesses.

Meituan’s retail business has clearly defined two categories: "instant retail" which focuses on Meituan’s flash shopping and Meituan’s grocery shopping, and "Mingtianda Supermarket" which focuses on Meituan’s optimization.

Among them, Meituan Flash Shopping, which was born in 2018, has become the core business of Meituan’s new strategy due to its rapid growth.

According to the data as of June 2022, the average daily order volume of Meituan’s flash purchase reached 4.3 million orders, and the peak daily order volume in Chinese Valentine’s Day last August reached 9.7 million orders, close to 10 million orders. In the third quarter, Meituan’s instant retail orders, including food and beverage takeout and flash purchases, exceeded 5 billion, up 16.2% year-on-year.

"Tomorrow’s Supermarket" was upgraded by Meituan, and now there are two open platform business models. One is the original community group purchase, which adopts "online pre-purchase+offline self-delivery", and the other is the traditional B2C shelf mall that benchmarks JD.COM Supermarket and Tmall Supermarket. Business food, fruits and vegetables, daily distribution of grain and oil, wine and milk drinks, home kitchen and bathroom and other daily life categories.

According to the financial report data, in 2021, Meituan preferred to achieve GMV of 120 billion yuan in the whole year, and by August 2022, the monthly users reached 8,103,300.

"Zhuangshuai Retail E-commerce Channel" believes that the layout of Meituan’s retail business has been completed, and the next step will be to continuously optimize and upgrade the retail business by changing the organizational structure and process.

The organization and process of instant retail business and Meituan takeaway business are relatively compatible and matched, and the original team and ability can be reused; However, there are significant differences in the B2C shelf mall of "Mingtianda Supermarket" in terms of investment promotion, platform operation, logistics and warehousing, after-sales service, etc., which requires the Meituan to make great adjustments in the person in charge, team and process to compete with Taobao/Tmall, JD.COM and even Tik Tok/Aauto Quicker.

As for the strategic direction of the US Mission in science and technology, in addition to the continuous investment in related technologies such as unmanned distribution, the US Mission is also improving its scientific and technological strength by investing in technology companies, and Wang Xing also invests in some emerging technologies in a personal way to gain potential opportunities.

Five, Tik Tok’s shelf mall and Aauto Quicker’s "super head" trouble.

On May 31, 2022, at the second eco-conference of Tik Tok e-commerce, Wei Wenwen, president of Tik Tok e-commerce, announced the new plan of Tik Tok e-commerce, upgrading the interested e-commerce to the stage of global interest e-commerce, launching the shelf mall, covering users’ full-scene and full-link shopping needs, and opening up the two-way consumption link of "goods looking for people" and "people looking for goods".

More than half a year after upgrading the global interest e-commerce, Tik Tok e-commerce spread the expansion plan of Tik Tok supermarket and Tik Tok takeaway in early 2023.

In the view of Zhuangshuai Retail E-commerce Channel, the core categories of supermarkets are fast-moving consumer goods and fresh food, and the core category of take-out is catering, all of which belong to the category of "high frequency" (daily frequency, weekly frequency and monthly frequency). Tik Tok e-commerce obviously wants to improve supply through high-frequency categories, rapidly promote the improvement and development of shelf shopping malls in 2023, continuously cultivate users’ consumption habits and increase repurchase rate.

With the user scale advantage of 700 million daily activities and the experience and team of short video and live broadcast e-commerce with a scale of more than one trillion, Tik Tok e-commerce will be full of imagination in 2023, which will also make JD.COM, Taobao/Tmall, Pinduoduo and Meituan enemies. Except for JD.COM, other e-commerce platforms have increased their investment in short video and live broadcast to varying degrees.

E-commerce in Tik Tok can be firm in its strategic goals and determination, and its development pace is steady. At first, the recommendation mechanism of the platform well avoided the troubles of Taobao and Aauto Quicker in the "super-head anchor", so that every Tik Tok e-commerce anchor has the hope of growing into a super-anchor, and there will be no situation in which several super-anchors monopolize the platform.

In the process of platform governance, all anchors have gradually formed a hundred flowers and healthy competition, which has enabled Tik Tok e-commerce to grow healthily and rapidly. At present, facing the basic competition among Ali, JD.COM, Pinduoduo and the US Mission, it is advancing at full speed to the goal of 5 trillion GMV.

On the other hand, Aauto Quicker e-commerce, the "super-leader" from Simba and a group of apprentices, has always made the platform "resolute and continuous", which not only has been trapped, but also affected the merchants and other anchors of the platform, and the differentiation strategy of Aauto Quicker e-commerce is also unclear.

Only by solving the contradiction caused by "over-the-top" as Taobao Live, can Aauto Quicker e-commerce have the opportunity to build a differentiated competitive advantage and strategic goal with the other five e-commerce platforms again, otherwise the growth pressure of Aauto Quicker e-commerce platform in 2023 will be further increased.

To sum up, it can be concluded that in the game stage of the stock market, even if a platform adopts a seemingly radical strategy (JD.COM’s tens of billions of subsidies), it still has little effect on the pattern of the whole industry, and it cannot easily shake the pattern of the industry. For smaller latecomers (such as Xiaohongshu, bilibili, Zhihu, etc.), although the growth rate will be very fast, it is difficult to change the industry structure in a short time.

Innovation at this stage has also become cautious, and every e-commerce platform is worried that innovative business will bring huge losses, leading to opportunities for opponents.

The six major e-commerce platforms invariably take the sinking market and local life/instant retail as the main battlefields, and choose to directly enter the opponent’s basic disk. On the one hand, there is no need to educate users and markets, and the investment is less; On the other hand, you can learn and copy your opponent’s successful experience quickly and avoid making mistakes.

Of course, at this stage, it is also very likely that there will be new entrants who will break through and innovate with the help of technological explosion and then rise rapidly.

According to the technology explosion cycle of every 20 years, the technology explosion around the advent of iPhone in 2010 made the three major e-commerce platforms in Pinduoduo/Tik Tok/Aauto Quicker rise rapidly with the help of mobile Internet technology and 4G, so the next technology explosion cycle should be around 2030.

Recently, Tesla has been hit by many friends. The starting price of 176,800 yuan on the evening of March 13th is about 90,000 yuan cheaper than the new version of Tesla Model Y.. Therefore, it seems that the Tesla China team will live to develop a brand-new Model Y version to cope with the stronger impact of the future market.

First of all, we can see Tucki G6, the competitor of Tesla Model Y, which is currently equipped with 800V architecture after being redesigned and listed, and it is also equipped with smart driving and 5C batteries. Under such a big upgrade, the price dropped to 176,800, which really shocked consumers.

According to informed sources, this model, which is more people-friendly, was developed by the R&D team of China, and its core strategy is to achieve cost control by streamlining configuration while retaining the main functions of the current Model Y battery, power and chassis. However, many consumers said that the current version of Model Y is "simple". Where can Tesla start?

During the investor day in 2024, Lars Moravy, the chief engineer of Tesla, also made it clear that the company hopes to manufacture the "next generation" car at half the cost of the current or Model Y. So with the acceleration of involution, is Tesla willing to "test the water" in the best-selling China market? If Tesla reduces the current cost by half to produce cars, it means that the price of new products will drop to 150,000 yuan or even lower, so it may really be more cost-effective than Tucki G6.

Further, during the Shanghai Auto Show, the brand-new one will be officially unveiled or even released in advance, which is bound to be a greater test and impact for the new version of Tesla Model Y Huan.

So what do you think are the chances that Tesla will launch a cheap version of Model Y? Welcome to leave a message for discussion!

Baidu’s big model is fully empowered, and it is the first to realize the big model boarding.

    With Generative Artificial Intelligence (AIGC) becoming a new upsurge of science and technology in the world, the digital economy era is accelerating the transition from "internet plus" to "intelligence+". When the large-scale model technology is applied to the automobile field, the automobile becomes truly intelligent, and the era of automobile intelligence officially begins.

    Extreme Yue 01, which is fully empowered by Baidu’s big model, is an application case of getting on the big model. Xia Yiping, CEO of Jidu and Jiyue, said that smart cars are undergoing a profound technological change, and the big model has become one of the most important variables to promote this change. This change will lead smart cars to the era of automobile robots, and will also redefine the relationship between people and cars.

   Baidu’s big model is fully empowered, and it is the first to apply big models to industrial industries.

    In November, 2023, the first batch of large-scale models in China was officially issued, and 11 enterprises including Baidu (ERNIE Bot), Shang Tang and Iflytek passed the filing, which means that the commercialization and industrialization of large-scale models in China will really be realized.

    How to take root in the industry and better release the industrial value of the big model has become the focus of attention from all walks of life. Among the 11 companies approved for the big model, Baidu opened the big model and applied it to the last mile of the industrial industry, and applied the big model technology to the automobile field. The ultra-01, which was fully empowered by Baidu’s big model, became the model of the big model. At present, Extreme Yue 01 has realized ERNIE Bot, Baidu Apollo, small reconstruction based on large model and comprehensive empowerment of Baidu map.

    At the 2023 Baidu World Congress, Li Yanhong, chairman and CEO of Baidu, introduced that Baidu’s large model capability will be the first to land on the ultra-yue 01, and the ultra-yue 01 will also become one of the smartest automobile robots at present. Xia Yiping also affirmed the significance of the big model to the automobile industry. "The big model is the watershed of automobile intelligence. When the big model is applied in the automobile field, the car will have logical ability, decision-making ability and generation ability, and the car is gradually becoming robotic, evolving from a functional car to a smart car."

    From the initial attention to the big model itself, to the text-generated big model, and then to the application of the big model in the fields of medical care, finance, automobiles and other entities, the development trend of the big model has become inevitable.

    Extreme leap opens the era of automobile robots.

    At present, Extreme Yue 01 has attracted the attention and welcome of many geeks. What changes will the big model bring to the user experience? Xia Yiping said that the big model will play an important role in the field of intelligent cabin and intelligent driving. People can directly interact with cars by voice, and intelligent driving will account for an increasing proportion of people’s travel. In the future, the relationship between people and cars will tend to be more and more people-to-people partnership, from the cold transportation in the past to the intelligent partner with temperature.

    In the field of intelligent cockpit, the organic integration of acoustic large model and language large model not only improves the overall perception of driver input information in automobile system, but also realizes the innovation of multi-modal interaction. For example, after the big model gets on the bus, the interaction between people and cars, just like the natural communication between people, can achieve smooth interaction even in local dialects. At the same time, Extreme Smart Drive uses a set of visual system, and puts the visual algorithm system into various applications. Headlights and far and near lights also use the same set of visual system.

    The AI ? ? big model is also reconstructing the intelligent driving route. At present, the combination of Transformer and BEV is becoming an important consensus in the field of autonomous driving, which promotes autonomous driving technology to enter a new stage of development. Take Jiyue as an example, Jiyue adopts the "pure vision" intelligent driving scheme of Transformer+BEV. At present, PPA intelligent driving capacity has been opened in Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou and Shenzhen, and PPA can be used in 90% of high-speed viaducts in China. In mid-January, Vietnam will soon complete the OCC(Occupancy Network) network technology upgrade.

    Xia Yiping said that in the future, many ecosystems will be connected through large models, and large models will become an important OS in the future technological ecology. This year, with the language model and the smart driving model getting on the bus, the voice technology of Extreme Yue 01 will be further enhanced, and at the same time, it will support multi-modal (simultaneous recognition of pictures and voices), which will bring exponential progress to the self-growth ability of smart cars.

27 Siberian tigers’ "homecoming" road: High-speed rail diverted the nature reserve.

  The staff in the reserve are checking the infrared camera. In the Sino-Russian border and protected areas, there are more than a thousand such cameras. Figure/Hunchun Northeast Tiger National Nature Reserve

  At the National People’s Congress last year, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader, who participated in the deliberation of the Jilin delegation, said that this is a good phenomenon after learning that there are 27 wild Siberian tigers in Jilin. The key is to follow the laws of nature and do a solid job.

  It’s two sessions a year, and the content of protecting the Siberian tiger has been reflected in the "Outline of the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan (Draft)", and the rescue protection of endangered rare wild animals such as tigers, leopards, giant pandas and crested ibis has risen to the national strategy.

  In view of the difficulties in the nature reserve, such as the overload of the number of Northeast Tigers, the scramble for land by people and tigers, and the obstruction of migration routes by roads and railways, the relevant departments have formulated plans. In addition to expanding the nature reserve area, they will also start to open up inward migration channels and plan the return of Northeast Tigers to Xiaoxing’ anling and Changbai Mountain.

  At 7 o’clock on the morning of March 3, Lang Jianmin stepped on 30 cm thick snow and got into the Woods.

  He followed the footsteps of two Siberian tigers to the top of the mountain with a flame bomb that could be sounded when he was attacked by a wild animal, and a knife for self-defense. He found out their activities and went down the mountain after 8 hours.

  In this season, hunters follow animal tracks and commit more crimes with iron traps. As the director of the mission center of Hunchun Northeast Tiger National Nature Reserve in Jilin Province, this is his busiest time of the year.

  "The more tigers there are, the greater the pressure." Lang Jianmin said.

  By the way, cleaning the iron cover buried in the snow aroused his sting. A month ago, on the mountain road leading to the gold and copper mine in Sandaogou, Hadamen Township, a Siberian tiger unfortunately stepped into the iron sleeve and died in the snow, leaving a lot of blood on its neck.

  Although the final investigation results have not yet come out, it has reflected the embarrassing existence of wild animals such as the Northeast Tiger: even if they live in nature reserves, they still face man-made injuries.

  Return

  Hunchun has 27 "settled tigers"

  According to the analysis of the images captured by the camera, it is finally determined that there are at least 27 Siberian tigers that are active in China all the year round.

  In the IUCN Red List, the Siberian tiger has been listed as an endangered (EN) species.

  According to public information, the total number of existing Siberian tigers may be less than 500, mainly distributed in the area from the Sikhote Mountains in the Russian Far East to the border between China and Russia.

  More than 100 years ago, Siberian tigers were widely distributed in most areas of coniferous and broadleaved mixed forests in the northeast temperate zone of China and the Russian Far East.

  In Lang Jianmin’s view, it was two catastrophes that almost killed the Siberian tiger. One is the deforestation during Japan’s invasion of China, and the other is the felling of trees to support the construction of the mainland in the 1950s and 1960s. With the disappearance of forests, Siberian tigers were forced to leave their homes and move to the Russian Far East.

  At the beginning of this century, there were frequent news of the appearance of the Siberian tiger on the Sino-Russian border in the northeast. However, due to the lack of scientific and systematic investigation and study, the number and current situation of the tiger and leopard population in China became an unsolved mystery.

  Since 2006, the National Biodiversity Innovation Team of Beijing Normal University (hereinafter referred to as "Beijing Normal University Team"), under the leadership of Ge Jianping, vice chairman of the Central Committee of the NLD and vice president of the school, has established the largest single regional infrared camera monitoring network in the world, mainly from the Sino-Russian border in Hunchun to the northeast inland of China, with a sample area of more than 20,000 square kilometers.

  Feng Limin, a student of Ge Jianping, Ph.D. in Ecology, School of Life Sciences, Beijing Normal University, said that they first laid more than 300 kilometers of border transects along the Sino-Russian border to observe the cross-border situation of the Northeast Tiger and Leopard, and then arranged more than 1,200 infrared cameras in a grid with a distance of 3 kilometers multiplied by 3 kilometers.

  Through the comparison of the unique patterns on the body of the tiger and leopard, each individual of the Northeast Tiger and the Northeast Leopard can be scientifically and accurately identified, and at the same time, the time, space and other activity rules and information of the tiger and leopard can be collected.

  In the end, the camera captured authoritative data: in the whole monitoring area, only the Northeast Tiger population was found in Hunchun National Nature Reserve of Jilin Province and its surrounding areas, from 2012 to — During 2014, at least 27 Siberian tigers were active, including 10 males, 8 females and 9 larvae.

  At least 42 Amur leopards, including 20 males, 17 females and 5 larvae. This number has exceeded the reported total number of remaining Amur leopards in Russia.

  The observation data also show that the Siberian tiger occasionally appears in Wandashan Mountain, Heilongjiang Province, which is a wandering type and has no stable population.

  On November 6, 2013, researchers from Beijing Normal University saw an exciting scene. In the night, No.05 adult female Northeast Tiger walked leisurely through the camera, followed by her 3-month-old cubs, who paused and looked at the camera curiously.

  This is the first time in the world that a wild Siberian tiger has produced four cubs from one birth.

  "Breeding means that the Northeast Tiger can breed, settle down and form a population in Hunchun area." Feng Limin said.

  settle down

  Migration is blocked and habitat becomes an "island"

  "The only way for the tiger and leopard population to survive and develop in the future is to enter the vast forests in the northeast inland of China to the west."

  The most fundamental reason for the return of the Northeast Tiger is the restoration of forest vegetation.

  According to the analysis of the team of Beijing Normal University, the natural forest protection project implemented in China in 1998 has made the forest quality in the main forest areas in Northeast China recuperate, and the main prey of tigers, such as red deer, sika deer, wild boar and roe deer, are also recovering rapidly. Last year, Jilin and Heilongjiang completely stopped commercial logging of timber, which laid a more solid foundation for the return and reproduction of the Northeast Tiger.

  On the distribution map drawn by the team of Beijing Normal University, the activity area of Northeast Tiger is marked as orange, but it looks like an island.

  This orange-red area, including the long and narrow Hunchun nature reserve in the north and south, covers an area of only 1,087 square kilometers, and together with the Russian Leopard National Park bordering it, it covers an area of about 4,000 square kilometers.

  The team of Beijing Normal University also found that with the proliferation and increase of tigers and leopards, this area was temporarily overloaded.

  "Adult tigers need an average of 5 kilograms of pure meat a day, including many larvae. The bigger the larvae grow, the greater their appetite. If they can’t find a suitable habitat to spread out, they will compete for food." Feng Limin said.

  Ge Jianping introduced that the Northeast Tiger has the characteristics of outward development wave after wave in the territory, and there is no jumping. According to Russia’s long-term follow-up study, the average territory of a female tiger is 300 to 500 square kilometers, and the male tiger can often reach thousands of square kilometers. It patrols its territory every day, basically walking 10 to 20 kilometers, but in the northeast, the natural density of its prey is not high, so it needs more territory.

  "In Hunchun, it is very good to accommodate 8-10, but now there are just more than 20, which is more than 3 times the carrying capacity and is all squeezed here." Feng Limin said.

  Why are these Siberian tigers squeezed in this "isolated island" area?

  Dr. Feng Limin analyzed that the East and South of the region is the Sea of Japan; The northern part is blocked by a large area of wetlands, highways and railways in the Middle East, which separates it from the main habitat of Siberian tigers in Russia-the Sihot Mountains; The S201 provincial highway in the east runs along the west side of Hunchun Nature Reserve, from Hunchun to Dongning, Heilongjiang Province. The highway, frequent shuttle cars, villages, farmhouses and factories on both sides form an artificial barrier.

  "The only way for the tiger and leopard population to survive and develop in the future is to enter the vast forests in the northeast inland of China to the west, but we must first break through the barrier S201." Feng Limin said.

  conflict

  The battle between man and tiger in the protected area

  Some villagers think that tigers are rare animals and should be well protected, while others say that tigers should be driven away.

  S201 Provincial Highway and the activities of people along it are like a wall, blocking the way for tigers and leopards to move westward.

  According to the latest data provided by Hunchun Nature Reserve, there are 19 villages, more than 2,200 households and more than 6,300 people in the reserve. According to the statistics of remote sensing analysis, there are more than 800 hectares of land in the reserve, and there are 35 contracted ditch systems for forest frogs. In addition, there are about 40,000 grazing cows every year.

  This set of data does not include the unprotected area west of S201 Highway, but butch and leopard have spread to this area.

  Located in Sandaogou Village, Hadamen Township, on the west side of S201 Highway, villagers can intuitively feel the contradiction between man and tiger.

  In the summer of 2015, villager Xing Yanfen raised more than 80 Yanbian yellow cattle, which is the largest farmer in the village. During the inventory, 11 cows were found missing, and the remains of 4 of them were found, all of which were killed by tigers.

  Villagers generally adopt the method of free-range. Every year, starting from May, they catch the cattle in the mountains, count them once every two weeks, feed them with salt, and then take them back to the village for captivity when the weather turns cold in October.

  After the incident, in order to find the missing cattle and prevent the Northeast Tiger from committing crimes, Xing Yanfen followed her husband and drove around the driveway pulling wood almost every other day, setting off firecrackers all over the mountains to scare the Northeast Tiger away from the cattle.

  Xing Yanfen said that they have not received compensation so far. "People in the reserve said that compensation can only be given if animal carcasses are found."

  She lost more than 100 thousand for this, complaining that "people rely on mountains to eat mountains, and life is not good."

  Zhang Yanlin, a villager, said that one of his cattle was missing, and his body could not be found, so he could not claim compensation. After the tiger committed a crime last year, many villagers in Sandaogou village sold their cattle and sheep.

  Lang Jianmin, director of the Propaganda Center of Hunchun Northeast Tiger National Reserve, believes that grazing will lead to many threats. For roe deer, sika deer and wild boar, cattle have completely destroyed the surface vegetation and wild animals have nothing to eat; There are fewer wild animals and fewer tigers; Hungry tigers will also take risks and attack livestock. In Hunchun, there are more than 100 incidents of tigers hurting livestock every year.

  "It is difficult for ordinary people to understand the contradiction between man and tiger." Lang Jianmin deeply felt that the most terrible thing is that livestock carry infectious diseases, which will be a devastating blow to the Siberian tiger if it is careless.

  However, the growers’ participation in the meeting destroyed the surface, and Hunchun’s "ginseng under the forest" naturally grew in the Woods, with little impact. However, to plant "garden ginseng", a forest must be cut down and planted in a plastic shed. When the contract period expires, nothing grows, resulting in desertification.

  For the Siberian tiger, the most direct threat is "hidden weapons", and these hidden "condoms" are everywhere in the forest.

  Villagers in Sandaogou can still remember that more than ten years ago, a wild Siberian tiger was trapped by a condom, broke free and killed Yang Chunyan, a young female worker in the local forest farm. The tiger also died of injuries. After this incident was reported at that time, the "dispute between people and tigers" also attracted widespread attention.

  Cleaning up "condoms" has become a fixed action of the local protection department. From September last year to January this year alone, Hunchun Nature Reserve cleared 8250 "condoms" and clips. During the same period, 80,097 hunting tools of various types were cleared and collected in Jilin Province, and 268 illegal cases and 314 offenders were investigated.

  Although the staff of the nature reserve have repeatedly posted posters to protect wild animals in various villages and conducted lectures on environmental protection knowledge, the results have been minimal. Some villagers think that tigers are rare animals and should be well protected, while others say that tigers should be driven away.

  High-speed rail diverted to the protected area

  "Northeast Tiger and Northeast Leopard will become the soul of Jilin’s green transformation." This sentence by Bayin Chaolu, secretary of the provincial party committee, impressed Ge Jianping deeply.

  Faced with the "islanding" of the Northeast Tiger and the dispute between humans and tigers in the nature reserve, Ge Jianping found the protection problem more and more difficult.

  In fact, Ge Jianping and his team have been keeping a low profile for ten years in Hunchun. Even in 2007 and 2010, they took the first photos of wild Siberian tigers and leopards in natural state in China, but he didn’t let these explosive news spread.

  He feels that the scientific research data is not solid enough, and he is also worried that too much publicity will cause humans to disturb the Northeast Tiger. However, in 2015, with the deepening of research, Ge Jianping felt that "the country must take the shot, otherwise it will miss the opportunity."

  So Ge Jianping contacted Bayin Chaolu, secretary of Jilin Provincial Party Committee.

  Ge Jianping recalled that on the same day, at the entrance of the conference room, Bayin Chaolu had two important meetings and only promised to give Ge Jianping a maximum of five minutes to report.

  Ge Jianping said that one minute is enough. He only said one sentence: "Your family has 27 tigers and 42 leopards. Do you care?"

  Ge Jianping said that the secretary of the provincial party Committee looked at him in surprise. "Ah, no one told me." Then he postponed other meetings, listened to his report all morning, and instructed the director of the provincial development and reform commission to come to the meeting immediately.

  As a result, Ge Jianping showed data and demonstration materials that have never been published in the past 10 years.

  At this time, the development strategy of Jilin Province is to strengthen wetland protection in the west, develop industry in the middle and make green transformation in the east, but it has not found a "grasping hand" in the east. Ge Jianping was deeply impressed by the words of Bayin Chaolu. "The Northeast Tiger and Leopard will become the soul of Jilin’s green transformation."

  At the subsequent National People’s Congress, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader participated in the deliberation of the Jilin delegation. After learning that there are 27 wild Siberian tigers in Jilin, the Supreme Leader said that this is a good phenomenon. The key is to follow the laws of nature and do a solid job.

  Not long after, the General Office of the Central Committee urged Ge Jianping to submit detailed suggestions before the end of May. Chen Xiaoguang, vice chairman of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and executive vice chairman of NLD Central Committee, personally led a team to conduct in-depth investigation and summary.

  In this survey, Ge Jianping and Chen Xiaoguang accidentally learned that Hunchun will invest more than 20 billion yuan to build "two highs": the expressway from Hunchun to Dongning is roughly parallel to the provincial highway S201, and the National Development and Reform Commission has established a project; The high-speed train from Hunchun to Vladivostok, Russia, will pass through the reserve and will be signed soon.

  Ge Jianping was disheartened by this news, but after deliberation, the two decided to rush to Changchun immediately to find Bayin Chaolu, secretary of the provincial party committee, to reflect the situation.

  After that, Jilin Province decided to cancel the original highway construction, while the high-speed rail was diverted.

  On the Proposal on Implementing Major Ecological Projects for the Restoration and Protection of the Northeast Tiger and the Northeast Leopard in China submitted by the Central Committee of the Democratic League, the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader instructed: "The return of the wild Northeast Tiger and the Northeast Leopard to the Northeast reflects that China has achieved positive results in wildlife protection in recent years. We should seize the current favorable conditions, follow the laws of nature, improve our thinking, make innovative breakthroughs, and do a good job in wildlife protection. The relevant requirements can be reflected in ‘ Thirteenth Five-Year Plan ’ Planning proposal ".

  Plan the Northeast Tiger to Return to Xiaoxing ‘anling.

  According to the protection plan, a tiger and leopard distribution area with an area of over 20,000 square kilometers will be built in China.

  How to break the "isolated island" of Northeast Tiger and Northeast Leopard?

  On January 27th, 2016, the seminar on the protection strategy of China Northeast Tiger and Northeast Leopard, jointly organized by the NLD Central Committee and Jilin Provincial Government, presented a blueprint for protection.

  The trilogy of the blueprint is as follows: within this year, the national nature reserves of Hunchun and Wangqing in Jilin Province and their surrounding areas will be connected into a whole, and a protected area with a continuous forest landscape of 6,000 square kilometers will be built; By 2020, an area of more than 20,000 square kilometers will be built in China, which will carry more than 100 Siberian tigers and 200 Siberian leopards; Set out to plan the action of tiger and leopard returning to Changbai Mountain and Xiaoxing ‘anling.

  They invited senior experts to "pick holes".

  "Where do immigrants move? After the immigrants in the Three Gorges reservoir area, the survival of these people is also a problem. There are people who don’t immigrate in that area and live in a very fearful environment all day. How to consider it? " Fang Jingyun, an academician of the China Academy of Sciences and an ecologist, bluntly said, "It is my concern to affect more things just to expand the population or for a project."

  Zhang Zhibin, a researcher at the Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and chairman of the International Zoological Society, agreed that the integration of large protected areas should be given priority in the construction of protected areas. However, in order to prevent the spread of diseases, isolation belts are needed in the integration.

  "If you can’t solve the livelihood of the people, they will reach out and ask for it from nature. This is the core." Dr. Feng Limin, a student of Ge Jianping, said.

  There are still more intractable problems in this area. Hunchun Northeast Tiger Nature Reserve has been listed in the national level, but it is still an enterprise, and it can only be operated with the support of Hunchun Forestry Bureau. The annual personnel expenses and management expenses are around 3 million. After Jilin Province stopped all-round logging last year, the shortage of funds became prominent.

  In addition, enterprises do not have the power of administrative law enforcement. "It is difficult to file a case for the general destruction of wildlife that does not constitute a criminal case, and it is difficult to punish it, which weakens the authority of protection work." Lang Jianmin, director of the Nature Reserve Publicity Center, said.

  According to the website of the State Forestry Administration, at the end of February this year, Chen Fengxue, deputy director of the State Forestry Administration, conducted an investigation on the system reform of Yanbian National Park and the protection of the Northeast Tiger, accompanied by Director Yan Zhen of the Financial Planning Department. Many sources believe that the national park will be planned with the theme of Tiger and Leopard.

  Lang Jianmin believes that national parks are new things, and the key to crossing the river by feeling the stones is to solve the problem of poor system.

  On March 5th, Ge Jianping told the Beijing News reporter that the "Outline of the 13th Five-Year Plan (Draft)" put forward the concepts of biodiversity and rescue protection project for the first time, which is a milestone and the key to the construction of ecological civilization. "The comprehensive protection of single animals and plants and biodiversity can explain that ecology, survival and life are indispensable, and it is the interdependence between man and nature, and it is necessary to take the eco-economic development model."

Mercedes-Benz’s new E300 show car has arrived at the store to see the detailed parameters first.

  Following the debut of a new generation of E-Class cars at the Shanghai International Auto Show, their exhibition cars will arrive in the exhibition halls of 4S stores one after another in recent days. According to the salesperson of 4S store, all the exhibition cars arriving at the store in advance are Mercedes-Benz E300 models equipped with V6 engine.



  At present, Mercedes-Benz New E can accept reservations, and consumers who pay the deposit will pick up the car as soon as the end of July. Let’s take a look at the performance of the new Mercedes-Benz E300 in advance through the following parameter exposure.



  The body size of the new Mercedes-Benz E300 is 29mm lower than that of the current Mercedes-Benz E, and its length, width and wheelbase are 16mm, 32mm and 20mm higher than that of the current Mercedes-Benz E.. It can be seen that the new Mercedes-Benz E300 has not only been redesigned in appearance, but also has more spacious interior space than the current models, especially the rear legroom. In addition, in terms of power system, the new Mercedes-Benz E300 is still equipped with the classic 3.0V6 engine.



  The brand-new (|) sedan still maintains the sedate and elegant features of Mercedes-Benz, which is more dynamic than the eighth generation E-Class car on sale. On the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class car, the iconic "four-eye" round lamp was replaced by a diamond, and the front fog lamp was replaced by a flat LED lamp.



  It can be seen from the seam between the hood and the front fender on the side of the car and the arc ridge line that runs through the door handle from the front wheel arch that the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan and the new C-Class sedan are interoperable in design language.



  The combination of a beautiful arc and two lines protruding from the rear wheel arch not only highlights the sense of muscle and layering of the car body, but also can be regarded as a design symbol of the new design director Gordon Wagner-the new E-Class family is the first mass production work independently completed by Wagner after taking office.



  The tail of Mercedes-Benz new E300 model adopts the same configuration as the flagship S-class model, and the trunk lid is electrically closed and locked. It not only embodies the humanized design, but also is more convenient in daily use.

How serious would it be if an asteroid didn’t hit the earth?

  Beijing, July 18 (Reporter Shangguan Yun) What if one day an asteroid hits the earth? This may be a scene imagined by many science fiction lovers. Earlier, it was reported that an asteroid might hit the earth on September 9 this year, but this possibility was finally ruled out.

  On the 17th, "Asteroids will not hit the Earth in September" boarded a hot search in Weibo, which once again triggered a heated discussion: What is the "asteroid" we often talk about? What will happen if it collides with the earth?

  The probability of "one in seven thousand" colliding with the earth

  The hot search for "asteroids will not hit the earth in September" is related to an announcement issued by the European Space Agency on the 16th. According to media reports, the announcement pointed out that a mysterious asteroid discovered more than ten years ago was originally thought to have a small probability of hitting the earth on September 9 this year, but the latest observation data ruled out this possibility.

  It is understood that this asteroid was discovered by astronomers in 2006, so it was code-named 2006 QV89. According to the observation data at that time, it had a probability of colliding with the earth on September 9 this year.

  However, this asteroid was only observed in a short period of 10 days, and then mysteriously "disappeared". Astronomers never observed it again, which made it difficult to accurately calculate its current position.

  Therefore, in order to judge whether the original observation results of QV89 "collision with the Earth" in 2006 are accurate, researchers have pondered a method: first, assume that the asteroid is still in the orbit that may collide with the Earth, and then observe its possible position in the sky on July 4 and 5, but found nothing.

  Based on all kinds of data, this asteroid was finally considered to be no threat to the earth.

  What the hell is an asteroid?

  As the name implies, asteroids are celestial bodies in the solar system that move around the sun like planets, but their volume and mass are much smaller than those of planets.

  "In 2006, scientists defined planets, asteroids and dwarf planets. For example, the earth is a planet, which basically lives alone, revolves around the sun, and has a relatively round shape. A typical dwarf planet is Ceres, and they are ‘ Live in groups ’ Yes, there are a bunch of celestial friends in the orbit. " Sun Zhengfan, a doctor of astrophysics and a popular science writer, said.

  As for asteroids, compared with the first two, they are simply a group of strange little guys. Sun Zhengfan explained that asteroids also revolve around the sun, but they are not round in shape, and they are grotesque in shape, big and small.

  According to public information, as of 2018, about 1.27 million asteroids have been discovered in the solar system, but due to the limitations of observation methods and other factors, this may be only a small part of all asteroids.

  "If you search for near-earth asteroids or near-earth asteroids on the Internet, the number of them mentioned in relevant popular science articles will definitely surprise people." Sun Zhengfan said.

  Asteroids and the mystery of dinosaur extinction

  The powerful destructive power of asteroids hitting the earth can be known from scientists’ discussion on the mystery of dinosaur extinction. There is a well-known saying that an asteroid hit the earth about 66 million years ago was the direct cause of dinosaur extinction.

  Specifically, this view holds that when an asteroid hit the earth, it triggered a huge tsunami, and the ocean on the surface of the earth suddenly rolled, but this was not the only disaster faced by dinosaurs.

  The impact raised a lot of hot rocks and dust, which triggered a forest fire. Countless flying dust covered the sky, and the earth’s surface was not exposed to sunlight for many years. The global climate became cold and creatures became extinct on a large scale. Dinosaurs couldn’t adapt to the drastic climate change, and in addition, they were short of food and eventually went extinct.

  "There are a pair of astronomers and their sons in the United States. In the strata around 66 million years ago, a metal element was found to have a very high content, but normally it has very little content in the rocks of the earth." Sun Zhengfan said, therefore, astronomers and their sons speculated that this metal element in the stratum exceeded the standard because an asteroid with a diameter of about 10 kilometers hit the earth at that time.

  Of course, there are many different opinions about the reasons for the extinction of dinosaurs, such as volcanic eruption and so on. Sun Zhengfan introduced that some paleontologists believe that the extinction of dinosaurs is not a sudden event, but a process. Because of the long time, it is difficult to find a complete chain of evidence for many claims about the extinction of dinosaurs. The most popular one is "an asteroid hit the earth".

  The disaster caused by "close contact"

  In fact, people are worried about the "close contact" between asteroids and the earth because of the disaster and destructive power they may bring after hitting the earth.

  For example, according to media reports, on February 15, 2013, an asteroid with a diameter of about 20 meters exploded over Chelyabinsk, Russia, which indirectly damaged more than 3,000 buildings and injured more than 1,600 people.

  Astronomically, an object whose orbit is within 1.3 astronomical units from the sun (1 astronomical unit is the average distance between the sun and the earth, which is about 150 million kilometers) and whose orbit distance from the earth is less than 0.3 astronomical units is a near-earth object, which is a collection of near-earth asteroids and near-earth comets.

  Among them, the potential impact with a diameter of more than 140 meters and the minimum distance from the earth orbit within 0.05 astronomical unit threatens celestial bodies and poses a direct threat to the earth.

  "An asteroid with a larger diameter can easily cause serious disasters when it hits the earth." Sun Zhengfan explained that "asteroid impact on the earth" is a high-risk event, such as the impact that is thought to have led to the extinction of dinosaurs. There is still a huge crater in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, half on land and half in the sea.

  Asteroids are terrible? There is no need to be overly anxious.

  Based on the possible serious consequences of an asteroid’s visit, the news that an asteroid may hit the earth often causes many people’s worries. But Sun Zhengfan said that there is no need to be too anxious about this.

  "First of all, it can cause extremely serious consequences ‘ Asteroids hit the earth ’ It’s a small probability event, and secondly, our earth has the atmosphere ‘ Protector ’ 。” Sun Zhengfan said.

  He explained that the earth is moving in space, and there are always a huge number of things falling on it, mostly in the form of dust, or just like pebbles, some asteroids burn out in the atmosphere. "There are no people in most parts of the earth, such as the sea and the desert. Therefore, it does not have much impact on human beings. "

  Sun Zhengfan also admitted that with the current scientific and technological means, it is still difficult to accurately calculate the running paths of asteroids that may cause harm to the earth, and "we can only estimate their size and quality by reflecting light, and this data itself has errors".

  "Preventing doomsday asteroids is a very important job." Sun Zhengfan said, "Humans can unite to develop aerospace technology and prevent this major disaster through early warning."
