The 2024 BMW i4 M50 is made of Portiman blue metallic paint, which is full of vitality and sports charm.

The 2024 BMW i4 is an entry-level product launched by BMW in the United States.Consumers of high-end substitutes. In the last week of April, I had the opportunity to see the top variant of "M50" at the Mobility Live Middle East 2024.I commented earlier this year.The unit is frozen Boltzmann blue, which is a matte finish. This is my first impression of another blue (metallic color):

design

After paying attention to various colors of the 2024 BMW i4 M50, I think this Portiman blue metallic paint can best show its fashionable and radical character. I4 is not a priority design, which means that it is a modified version of gasoline-powered 4-series Gran, but its sporty lines, symmetrical size and exquisite style give it a killer existence. I think Portiman blue metallic paint is both sporty and luxurious, and few colors can achieve this balance.

The shape of the headlights presents a firm and confident appearance for the electric car, while the slim rearview mirror and embedded door handles add a streamlined appearance. The muscular, curved greenhouse and obvious shoulder line of the car enhance its sports atmosphere.

I especially like how the door handle is smoothly integrated into the car body, the window lines are seamlessly integrated into the Hoffmeister bend, and the roof is slightly tilted backwards, giving it a general outline. The rear bumper is equipped with a diffuser and sharp vertical blades, which adds its sports characteristics.

The kidney grille is a controversial function in many recent BMW models, especially since the second generation 4 Series (the inspiration of i4), which has aroused my interest in this point. However, as I am atI4 compared with i3As mentioned in the article, for German designers, the closed traditional grille is a safer choice in the future converted pure electric vehicles.

inside

Walking into the car, the 2024 BMW i4 has a low, slender and curved dashboard, which complements its sporty appearance. The air outlet of the air conditioner and the outer edge of the steering wheel can be trimmed, but overall, the interior feels upscale and elegant.

During the test drive of the 2024 BMW i4, I found that it was better than the updated one. More user-friendly, thanks to its numerous physical control devices, such as buttons, switches, knobs and scroll bars. These controls are easy to find and operate, and your eyes don’t need to leave the road. What a relief to release the glove box without using the touch screen!

The BMW iDrive 8 system compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is a highlight. The 12.3-inch driver information display and the 14.9-inch center display provide a simple and user-friendly interface. I explored customizable layouts, which are very intuitive and can be easily accessed through the scroll bars and buttons on the steering wheel.

The central display screen supports touch input, but navigation can also be carried out by using the knurled rotary controller in the central console. The menu structure is very simple, and the required functions can be achieved with minimal input, and the software runs smoothly in my test.

As a six-foot-tall man, I find it a bit challenging to get into the driver’s seat because of its low position, which is a common trade-off for cars in this market segment. The steering wheel provides good grip, and the heating function is located on the lower spokes, which is very convenient.

Bucket seats provide adequate lumbar support, and the thickness of side cushions is just right. There is enough legroom, but when i4 turns to the second generation Neue Klasse platform, the support under the thigh may be better. For my height, the head space is a little tight, which can be corrected in native platforms such as Neue Klasse, which should allow slightly lower seat installation.

The back seat is easier to get into, but the legroom is a little tight for my size 11 boots. My knee didn’t touch the seat back, and the backrest angle and armrest design are very comfortable, but it may be uncomfortable to travel for a long time. As expected, the head space is limited, because the roof line of i4 sacrifices some practicality for style. Because of the transmission channel, it will be difficult to accommodate three adults my size in the back row. Buyers who give priority to rear seat space and comfort will find that whether it isBMW i5Or i3 car, they are more comfortable.

Interior features include panoramic sunroof, standard 10-speaker sound system with 205W amplifier and ambient lighting with pulsating function. Optional 16-speaker Harman Kardon sound system and 464-watt amplifier are also available.

Driving impression

The 2024 BMW i4 is available in single-motor RWD and dual-motor AWD configurations, which can provide up to 536 horsepower and 586 pound-feet. It can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.7 seconds, with a top speed of 140 mph. The power consumption per 100 miles is only 28 kWh (estimated by EPA) and the cruising range can reach 307 miles. The i4 M50 focuses on performance and has a cruising range of 269 miles.

Based on 2023 vehicles with similar power systems and components, i4 is impressive, although it is not built on a special platform for electric vehicles.

I4 has strong acceleration and can maintain good performance even at highway speed. It feels flexible and operates like a real driving car, which is impressive for vehicles weighing more than 5,000 pounds. Steering is fast and accurate, but it can provide more feedback. Car owners and critics will also point out that even when driving on the highway, the cab can keep quiet and there is not much wind noise.

price

The price of the 2024 BMW i4 before optional accessories ranges from $52,200 to $69,700, excluding the destination fee and handling fee of $995. By using the configurator on the BMW USA website, I set the specifications of the BMW i4 M50 in 2024 at a maximum of $80,095!

All i4 models are produced in BMW’s 102-year-old factory, and the electric vehicle has been produced since October 2021.

1905 movie network news One month before the launch, the Netflix movie "Roadbed End" first exposed the poster, which was officially scheduled to be broadcast on March 1. The poster reads the line "Decided to survive in this land". Wearing a dirty foggy blue coat, he stood in the crowd against the current, with tears in his clear eyes and firmness in his sadness. He grabbed his backpack and revealed his nervousness at the moment, while behind him was the "policeman" written in Dutch, showing his identity as a stranger.

The film is adapted from Zhao Haizhen’s novel "Met Lu Jiwan", which tells the story of Lu Jiwan, a defector who came to Belgium with the last hope of life, meeting, leaving and falling in love with Mary, who lost her reason for survival. The film has also been registered recently and is set to be banned for 19 days.

The movie "Lu Ji Wan" will be released to more than 190 countries around the world through Netflix on March 1, and meet the global audience.

On January 12, the first session of the 14th Provincial People’s Congress held the second plenary session and heard the work report of the Provincial People’s Procuratorate made by Ge Xiaoyan, the acting chief prosecutor of the Provincial Procuratorate.

After the meeting, a number of delegates who listened to the report at the scene told reporters that this year’s report was "very special". While the report provides a comprehensive review of the work of the procuratorial organs in the past five years, it also focuses on explaining the update of the judicial concept of the procuratorial organs. The mention of "zero tolerance for things that the people hate deeply" and "not slack off on things that the people are eager to hope for" appeared in the work report, which is impressive.

These ideas are reflected in the more than 1.07 million cases handled by the Sichuan procuratorial organs in the past five years. How can the people’s sense of judicial access be realized? How can the Sichuan procuratorial organs adhere to "people-centered" in all aspects of work, so that the people can feel fairness and justice in every judicial case? In response to the above questions, the reporter invited a number of representative members to interpret.

Key words: updating judicial concepts

Report click:Updating judicial concepts, prosecutorial handling of cases fully reflects the unity of natural law, national law, human feelings, and conscience.

Focusing on the new changes in the main contradictions in our country’s society in the new era, standing firm on the people’s position, and using the supreme leader’s rule of law thought to guide the continuous update of procuratorial supervision concepts.

Mark Min: The renewal of the judicial concept of the procuratorial organ, from a deep perspective, is the procuratorial organ’s resolute implementation of the supreme leader’s thought of the rule of law, the people-centered judicial concept deeply embedded in the procuratorial work, and the reality of insisting on the unity of political effect, social effect, and legal effect. By writing the word "people" into the new picture of procuratorial work, the legal supervision organ and the judicial organ have firmly responded to the important proposition in the judicial field of "who is the main body, how to be just", which will surely lead to the further improvement of the quality and efficiency of procuratorial work.

Luo Jun: In the face of the new situation and new tasks, the procuratorial organs of Sichuan Province continue to update their judicial philosophy, which on the one hand reflects the leading role of the supreme leader’s rule of law thought in procuratorial supervision, that is, constantly satisfying the people’s yearning for a better life and fairness and justice, and respecting the people’s simple concept of fairness and justice; on the other hand, it reflects the protection of private enterprises, that is, paying more attention to ensuring the development of private enterprises, encouraging and supporting private entrepreneurs to operate with peace of mind and let go of development.

Key words: public interest litigation

Report click:The revised Civil Procedure Law, Administrative Procedure Law and 9 separate laws give the procuratorial organs new functions to initiate public interest litigation in 13 fields. We have specially established a public interest litigation procuratorial agency to file and handle 36,903 public interest litigation procuratorial cases. In 2022, the number of cases handled increased by 2.3 times compared with 2018, and the number and quality of cases handled ranked among the top in the country.

Ma Jun: In this year’s provincial procuratorate work report, the term "public interest litigation" appeared many times, which particularly caught my attention. "Improving the public interest litigation system" was written into the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, giving the procuratorial organs heavier responsibilities and missions. As a disabled worker, I sincerely hope that the procuratorial organs at all levels across the country will resolutely implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee with a high degree of political consciousness, rule of law consciousness, and procuratorial consciousness, unswervingly promote and improve the procuratorial public interest litigation system, and earnestly fulfill the sacred duty of the procuratorial organs as "representatives of the public interest".

Li Chang: The establishment of a public interest litigation system by procuratorial organs has created a new type of judicial supervision model, which is of milestone significance in the construction of judicial governance. It helps to promote administrative organs to administer according to law, strictly enforce the law, and urge administrative organs to perform their duties, which is in line with the inherent requirements of the construction of a country under the rule of law. The practice of public interest litigation procuratorial practice has played a positive role in building a modern socialist country on the track of the rule of law, and is an important embodiment of the Chinese path to modernization in the field of the rule of law. "People-centered" is the due meaning of safeguarding national interests and social public interests. Public interest is in the final analysis the interests of the people. Public interest litigation, as a judicial system focusing on safeguarding public interests, is a major popular project of the party and the

Luo Jun: Public interest litigation, as a way for procuratorial organs to perform their legal supervision functions, is a specific manifestation of legal supervision powers in the fields of civil and administrative law. It is hoped that procuratorial organs can take the initiative to interact with the local people in the process of handling civil public interest proceedings, better enhance public awareness of environmental protection, maximize the protection of social public interests, and achieve the unity of political, social and legal effects in handling cases.

Key words: protecting the legitimate rights and interests of specific groups

Report click:Strengthen the protection of the rights and interests of women, the elderly and the disabled. The Provincial Women’s Federation established ten measures to strengthen the protection of the rights and interests of women and children, and carried out judicial assistance activities for special projects for women in difficulty. Launched a special project to rectify pension fraud, and prosecuted 418 people for the crime of pitting the elderly and harming the elderly under the guise of "investment in pension" and "health care and treatment". Launched a public interest lawsuit for the construction of a barrier-free environment, and only with love can there be no obstacles, so that the elderly and the disabled can go out with confidence.

Li Qian: The names of women, children, the elderly, and the disabled have undergone changes from "disadvantaged group" to "special group" and then to "specific group". The change of names reflects the progress of the concept of rights protection. The concept of specific groups reveals the change of concept, from "welfare path" to "rights path". The procuratorial organs help to protect the realization of the rights of specific groups by supervising and promoting the performance of government departments and social groups. For example, the procuratorial organs have expanded from strengthening supervision and promoting the implementation of the "Regulations on Accessible Environment Construction" to promoting the implementation of the provisions on barrier-free environment construction in other laws, expanding the protection objects and beneficiary groups of public interest litigation.

Ma Jun: By handling various cases, the provincial procuratorial organs have effectively protected the broad masses of the people, especially the disabled and the elderly. On June 20, 2022, the provincial court, the provincial procuratorate, the Public Security Department, the Department of Justice, and the provincial disabled persons’ federation jointly signed a document to strengthen the judicial protection of the disabled, clearly proposing to promote the effective implementation of the specific content of laws and regulations to protect the rights and interests of the disabled, and effectively safeguard the equal rights of the disabled in politics, economy, culture, society, family life, etc. It is hoped that the procuratorial organs can further safeguard the public interests and rights of the disabled in the province in accordance with the law, and create a more equal, just and warm legal environment for them.

Key words: whole process people’s democracy

Report click:Over the past five years, we have always kept in mind that the procuratorate is the people’s procuratorate, consciously practiced the whole process of people’s democracy, was responsible to the people, and was supervised by the people.

Mark Min: The whole process of people’s ********* is the essential attribute of socialist democratic politics, an important part of the ******* path to modernization, and a full-chain, all-round, and full-coverage people’s *********. The procuratorial organs implement the whole process of people’s *********, and in the judicial value orientation, they must adhere to the interests of the party and the people first, and in system construction, they must take the people’s evaluation of the handling process and handling effect of cases as an important or even core indicator for the assessment of procuratorial work; in specific practice, they must continue to promote the openness of procuratorial affairs, broaden the channels for people’s participation, innovate the way of people’s participation, and create a new paradigm of all-round and diverse democratic procuratorial work that combines the active openness of the procuratorial organs with the active participation of the people, and the general knowledge of the people and the supervision ofReporter, Jiang Jingzhou)

　　　　Listen to the wild rhythm of nature and experience the extreme challenge of off-road

　　　　Open the map of the southwest border of China, where it is full of primitive mysteries and magnificent rivers and mountains. The mountains and ancient roads that stretch for miles give birth to the distant and mysterious ancient Yunnan culture, which attracts generations to explore it with its unique style. LAND CRUISER The Nu River expedition in the world set off from Kunming, passing through Dianchi Lake, passing through Dali, more and more Tengchong, and back up the Nu River, and finally arrived in Bingzhongluo. The wild rhythm of life sounds in the sky, and you can appreciate the swaying air and intestines along the way accompanied by the roar of engines. I believe that there is also green and love behind the wildness.

　　　　Yunnan, the deep blue in the sky makes countless people dream. Dianchi Lake is splashed at the foot of Kunming West Mountain like a landscape painting. It has also become the starting point of FAW LAND CRUISER’s Nu River expedition to find the way to the world. This largest freshwater lake in Yunnan formed during the crustal movement of the Tertiary Himalayas gave birth to the mysterious ancient Dian civilization. As early as the Warring States Period, ancient people came to live along Dianchi Lake and established Dian Kingdom. After Yunnan Province, the city by Dianchi Lake was renamed Kunming. Next to Dianchi Lake, with the birth of the sun, accompanied by the beating of gongs and drums, the event kicked off. With the sound of the gong from the head of FAW Toyota Li Yunming, the team began their journey.

　　　　The ancient city of Dali is intoxicating, and I first came to Erhai Lake to admire Cangshan Mountain

　　　　Yin Cangyu’er is the reputation of Dali people for Cangshan and Erhai Lake. As the birthplace of the earliest civilization in Yunnan, the Bai people have thrived in what is now Cangshan and Erhai Lake thousands of years ago. The long motorcade marched on the highway leading to Dali, and everyone was full of interest in the LAND CRUISER 200 and the new PRADO (|), enjoying the fun of driving, and the road was full of the cheerful sound of tires rubbing against the road.

　　　　"People always say that the car is a means of transportation, but for us LAND CRUISER owners, the LC is our family, and I have never felt so obsessed with a vehicle. This is a man’s dream car, and he can take you anywhere you want. It’s been a long time since I felt so moved. The LC has been around for more than half a century and has been with me for almost a decade. During this period, you can see so many SUVs appear, and most of them have turned their backs on the hardcore off-road feeling. They can take me to the city, to the suburbs, but only by sitting in the LC can I feel that I am going off-road, that I am going to find the direction of my heart. It is a sense of trust and a state of life-changing cars." The words of this LAND CRUISER owner deeply moved me.

　　　　When you are really in control of the LAND CRUISER 200, this feeling will spread all over the body through the throttle. What is the most needed off-road vehicle? Is it electronic equipment, or comfortable interior? Obviously not, durable and powerful machinery and equipment are the trustworthy tools. Toyota understands this very well. The LAND CRUISER 200 is still developed with the "King of 4WD" concept, and reliability and durability are its primary design goals. At the same time, many new technologies and innovative new structures have been added, taking into account environmental protection and safety performance.

　　　　The LAND CRUISER 200 RAND CRUISER 4.7L V8 2UZ gasoline engine roared happily, and the electronic system adjusted the valve in an intelligent way, allowing the engine to increase the compression ratio and thus increase the output power, and achieve environmental protection. Since it is a highway, the road conditions are relatively good, and the team members controlled the vehicle through the continuous shift control function of the newly developed 5-speed Super ECT, fully experiencing the fun of high-speed driving. Not long after starting from Kunming, the scenery on both sides of the road began to change, and typical Bai dwellings appeared. Since the Bai people like white very much, their houses are mostly white-based, and the pattern is three bedrooms and one wall or four-in-five patios. At first glance, it looks like a white house, but it has no characteristics. When you look closely, you find that the highlights are hidden on the gatehouse. The flowers are exquisite, the arches are overlapping, and they are majestic and stable. This is the same as the clothing of the Bai people. The traditional clothing of the Bai people is also dominated by white tones, which are insensitive at first glance, but pleasing to the eye when you look closely, especially women’s clothing, a small vest on the white jacket, an embroidered apron tied around the waist, and a headgear. Married women are usually blue, while unmarried girls use a red rope and braids to wrap together, and then attach a brightly colored head sticker, which is very charming when it rises in the wind. This is also the origin of the braids of the Dali girl. The team members joked that the houses and clothes of Dali are very similar to LC.

　　　　Tengchong ancient city to admire the moon, Liuku Nu River cross-country

　　　　After a day of rest in Dali, the team set off again. The following itinerary made the team full of expectations, because not only will they spend the Mid-Autumn Festival in the ancient city of Tengchong, but they will also fully experience the feeling of off-road by the Nu River on the road to Liuku. After arriving in Tengchong, the team will also leave the expressway temporarily, and the road conditions below will be difficult, complex and full of unknowns.

　　　　Tengchong, in the true sense of the southwest border of China, is adjacent to Myanmar and was once the key point of the ancient Southwest Silk Road in history. Entering Tengchong is like opening a historical picture, and the mellow sense of history that has been accumulated over the years comes to you. Tengchong is the western border on this ancient road, and Heshun is the pearl on this border – because here has precipitated the thousand-year-old caravan culture and wealth stories. The Yoyo Ancient Road Caravan, the thousand-year-old caravan carrying gold Tengchong is its true portrayal.

　　　　When the convoy arrived in Tengchong and Shungu Town, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. Through LC, we came together and spent an unforgettable Mid-Autumn Night in this ancient town on the southwest border. It is worth mentioning that Sadaka Xiao, the chief engineer of Toyota’s LAND CRUISER, came to Tengchong and had a discussion with the owners and the media. When talking about the LAND CRUISER 200 and the new PRADO Prado, he said that the former is an extreme off-road vehicle, and the latter is a car that can provide peace of mind and comfort anytime and anywhere. The key is that they must ensure off-road performance and can go anywhere. LAND CRUISER has a sense of mission since its birth. Xiaozhuang Zhenjia also fully listened to the various suggestions put forward by the owner, and raised interesting questions about the introduction of diesel vehicles into China and the prospects of the LC70 in China for consultation.

　　　　After the carnival of the Mid-Autumn Festival night in the ancient town, the team members rested their energy and ushered in the test of difficult road sections. The road section from Tengchong to Liuku will be dominated by mountain roads and muddy roads. The east of Liuku is based on Bi Luoxue Mountain, west is Gaoligong Mountain, and the Nujiang River runs through it, which is a great test for vehicles. At this time, LC’s many skills finally came in handy. On a small road by the Nujiang River, the continuous motorcade went up the river, and the many damaged roads reduced the speed of travel. At this time, it is also the best place to experience off-road. Switch to manual gear, step on the accelerator lightly, and the LAND CRUISER 200 Rand Cool Road will pass through the potholes steadily. The drivers and passengers in the car do not have a strong sense of shaking. This is due to the power regulation suspension system (KDSS) of the LAND CRUISER 200 Landruiser, which plays an important role in both off-road and comfort. On off-road roads, the vehicle’s stability bar does not function to ensure that the wheel moves up and down to ensure good grip. On urban roads, the stability bar functions, and the system optimizes the control of the accumulator to absorb minor vibrations and achieve the purpose of comfortable driving. KDSS is not enough to keep this big guy stable and comfortable on such a complex road surface. The LAND CRUISER 200 Landruiser’s OurHours four-wheel drive system and integrated induction anti-lock braking system are also working to achieve maximum stability driving performance.

　　　　Three rivers parallel flow Bingzhongluo, FAW Toyota donates love

　　　　After a hard day of crossing, the team members were far more excited about the off-road experience of the vehicle and the magnificent scenery than the fatigue of the body. After finishing, the team began to march towards the final destination – Bingzhongluo. It is adjacent to the three major mountains in northwestern Yunnan, namely Gaoligong Mountain, Nu Mountain and Yunling, and is also the central area of the three parallel rivers formed by the Nu River, Lancang River and Jinsha River.

　　　　Bingzhongluo is located in the mountains, and the convoy travels all the way around the mountains. The altitude is constantly rising, and the weather has become unpredictable. There is a heavy rain and a heavy fog for a while, and the visibility is only a few meters away. The ground is mostly undulating potholes, gravel and curves, and it is also necessary to guard against mudslides and falling rocks. At this time, the off-road technology and safety of the LAND CRUISER 200 came in handy again. The team members began to test the vehicle’s low-speed cruise driver assistance system. There is an inconspicuous small knob at the bottom of the center console. There are a total of 3 gears. We can switch the system by turning the knob. The team members raved about the system, joking that they could even take their feet off the accelerator and brakes. Of course, the low-speed cruise assist system is not designed to free our feet, but to allow drivers to focus on the road ahead, so that they can easily pass some difficult terrain and even climb to an unattainable height.

　　　　Due to the continuous alpine corners and the heavy load in the vehicle, safety is also very important at this time. The other two safety features of the LAND CRUISER 200 have begun to work hard in silence. The body stability control system plays a great role in the corners. It will test whether the vehicle can detect side slippage when turning, helping the driver to maintain absolute control of the vehicle. In addition, an integrated induction anti-lock braking system is also essential. It is these technology systems and machine hardware that work silently that give the team a sense of trust in the LAND CRUISER 200 and the new PRADO Prado. And I feel that neither asphalt nor muddy road can stop the progress of the LAND CRUISER. Of course, this car can take us further if we wish.

　　　　The first bay of the Nujiang River in Bingzhongluo has shocked the team members, and walking the ancient tea-horse road has shocked our hearts. Today, the ancient tea-horse road has been basically replaced by modern transportation in Yunnan, and only the caravan teams from Bingzhongluo to the southeast region of Tibet still travel on the ancient road today. This living ancient tea-horse road starts in Bingzhongluo and travels north along the Nu River along the canyon to Zana, the seat of the Chavalong Township government in Chayu County, Nyingchi Prefecture, Tibet. The total length is 70 kilometers. Walking on this only remaining thousand-year-old ancient road, the hoofprints are mottled, the sound of horseshoes is heard, and the empty valley is heard, which is full of ancient meaning.

　　　　After passing through the first bay of the Nujiang River and exploring the ancient tea-horse road, FAW Toyota led the team to make a donation to a Hope Primary School in Bingzhongluo. The children also prepared local ethnic songs and dances to welcome the distant guests. After the donation ceremony, the team members played ball and entertained with the children in the rain, bringing warmth and strength to them in the mountains. The bright and pure eyes of the children also baptized the hearts of the team members.

　　　　Toyota is striving to create its own era of the world’s four-wheel drive king, and the LAND CRUISER 200 is clearly just the beginning of this era. In 2010, the Nu River Expedition ended perfectly in Bingzhongluo, and the second act – Xunyouqiandongnan will be officially staged on October 17. No matter how the route changes, through the exploration of the most primitive and dangerous natural ecology, it advocates a true set of environmental protection, exploration, off-road and public welfare to the majority of off-road enthusiasts. The purpose of fashionable life, and the off-road spirit and brand cultural value of "challenging the limit and cherishing nature" remain consistent.

　　　　On the 18th of this month, "Brothers’ Life and Death Alliance", which was invested and starred by Andy Lau, will be screened nationwide. On the 11th, Andy joined hands with Huang Rihua, Miao Qiaowei, Tang Zhenye, Eason Chan, and Huang Yi to attend the premiere in Guangzhou, and gave an exclusive interview to this newspaper on the same day. Andy revealed that his investment in movies is mainly a hobby, and he has no special ambitions. Today, he will never pursue fame and fortune, but hopes to use his public image to do more useful things for the society.

　　　　Andy Lau announces salary

　　　　Andy Lau is one of the investors and stars in "Brothers of Life and Death", a police film that depicts brotherhood. The film also invited his old friends from the TV era, Huang Rihua, Tang Zhenye and Miao Qiaowei, to star. Before interviewing Andy Lau, Huang Rihua and others joked that Andy promised to invite them to travel if the film box office was good. Lau Dehua said that this is all a joke from the brothers. After everyone entered the group, no one raised the issue of the salary. As a result, Andy Lau set the salary, which was the same as that of several other leading actors, "We are 11,000 days, and the salary is calculated according to the number of days. I shot for 7 days before and after, and finally 70,000 yuan. Among them, Miao Qiaowei has the most plays, and it took about 30 days to shoot. This can almost calculate everyone’s salary."

　　　　"Brothers" is not a sequel

　　　　In this movie, Andy Lau’s identity is both an investor and a protagonist, but he places more emphasis on the previous identity. Andy Lau said with a smile that he has been an actor all his life, and although the roles are changeable, he has always adhered to his heart.

　　　　Asked whether Brothers for Life and Death, which was released at the same time, was under pressure, Andy Lau said: "That’s because they have Ang Lee and we only have Cho. Their investment is $15 million and we are 15 million Hong Kong dollars. So Brothers only gets a quarter of Lust and Caution in Hong Kong and it’s a tie."

　　　　He said that even if the film did well at the box office, it would not make a sequel. "I repeat again that this is a purely commercial film, and I have not thought about doing a series like Infernal Affairs, nor have I thought about going to any film festival with this film. In fact, I am very satisfied that the film can get 8 million yuan at the box office."

　　　　Andy despises fame and fortune

　　　　Andy Lau has an excellent reputation in the circle and is a famous star for many years. In the past two years, he has funded the "New Star Guidance Program" to support young directors. In addition, last year and this year he served as the national image ambassador for the prevention and control of hepatitis B. His explanation for these actions is simple: "I hope to use Andy Lau, a public image that everyone knows, to do more good things for the society."

　　　　Andy Lau said bluntly that at his age, money and fame are not so important. "Some people may say that I work hard to make a show, and I do all this to attract exposure, but do you think I still need these to be exposed now?" He said slowly, "Maybe many years ago, I might have cared about some negative comments, and I didn’t even want to make my own ideas too public, but fame and fortune are definitely not the first thing for me now. I am an actor and a public figure. Doing more useful things to influence the audience and fans is the most valuable asset, and it will also give me greater satisfaction."

　　　　Hope Tony Leung wins the award

　　　　Speaking of the many directors in the current Chinese film industry, Andy Lau expressed his admiration for Ang Lee: "This is not because he is very good at winning awards, but because his films are very good-looking and profound. He can integrate Chinese and Western cultures without leaving a trace, and he is really a master." If Ang Lee’s next film asks Andy Lau to star, will he accept it? "I think I still need to read the script first to see if the script is suitable for me. For example, in this time, Mr. Yi in’Lust, Caution ‘, I can’t play."

　　　　In addition to going head-to-head at the Hong Kong box office, Andy Lau will also compete with Tony Leung at this year’s Golden Horse Awards, with the two nominated for Best Actor for "Mago" and "Lust and Caution" respectively. Asked about the Best Actor competition at the Golden Horse Awards, Andy Lau said without hesitation: "I hope he can win." Why not give yourself a chance? "My character in’Mago ‘advocates non-attack and love, not competition with others." (Reporter, Zeng Jiaxin)

In contrast, in the United States listed Ctrip, the latest reported $36.46/share, the total market value of 19.50 billion dollars, about 133.90 billion yuan, the difference between the two is more than half.

On May 23, Meituan Dianping announced its first quarterly report of the new year after the close. The financial report showed that Meituan Quarter 1 revenue was 19.17 billion yuan, an increase of 70.1% from 11.30 billion yuan in the same period last year. The operating loss was 1.303 billion yuan, and the adjusted net loss was 1.04 billion yuan.

This is the internet company’s 17th quarterly loss since 2015, but Meituan’s loss is nearly 35% compared to the 3.734 billion loss in the previous quarter.

The specific reason is that although one of Meituan’s core businesses – food and beverage delivery – has experienced a comprehensive decline in the three indicators of total revenue, transaction value and transaction number, the company’s other core monetization business – to the store and wine hotel business is still very bright.

According to the financial report, Meituan’s store and wine travel business achieved revenue of 4.49 billion yuan in the quarter, an increase of 43.2% year-on-year; the gross profit was 4 billion yuan, and the gross profit margin reached 88.3%, which can be said to be comparable to Moutai.

Among them, Meituan’s wine travel business has been compared with Ctrip and is regarded as one of Ctrip’s strong competitors.

Analysys Intelligence released an annual comprehensive analysis of China’s online travel market in April. The year-on-year growth rate of China’s tourism revenue in 2018, as well as the scale of online travel transactions, are at the lowest level in the past five years. China’s online travel industry has entered a stage of medium-to-high-speed development.

Among them, the transaction scale of China’s online travel market in 2018 was 975.424 billion yuan, with a year-on-year growth rate of 9.3%. Compared with the past five years, the growth rate slowed down and was below double digits for the first time. Looking back at historical data, the transaction scale growth rate of China’s online travel market from 2013 to 2017 was 30.0%, 45.2%, 49.6%, 56.1% and 20.7% respectively.

The slowdown in the growth rate of the industry has caused headaches for the giants in the online travel industry such as Ctrip, and what is even more troublesome for them is the fierce competition in the industry. The position of the giants is not stable.

At present, China’s online travel market is mainly dominated by Ctrip and Qunar, with Flying Pig Travel ranking third. The combined market share of the three companies is close to 70%, and the market concentration is relatively high. Among them, Ctrip and Qunar belong to the first echelon in the industry, while Flying Pig, Mafengwo, Meituan and other companies belong to the second echelon.

For a long time in the past, traditional OTAs (online travel agencies) such as Ctrip have controlled the flow and entrance of online wine travel through the air ticket business, obtaining excess orders and revenue. However, this situation is gradually changing due to the addition of emerging forces such as Meituan and Feizhu.

Among them, Meituan Dianping has seen the rise of various businesses of the company since it went public in 2018, including the store and wine travel business.

According to the annual report, the total transaction value of Ctrip in 2018 was 725 billion yuan (excluding the previously acquired Skyscanner), an increase of 30% year-on-year, and it firmly ranked as the largest OTA in China.

Meituan’s store, hotel and tourism business in 2018 was 176.80 billion yuan, Ctrip is more than 6 times, but still slightly higher than the same journey eLong. In 2018, the same journey eLong’s annual total transaction volume was 131.50 billion yuan, an increase of 28.5%.

Transaction volume is the basis for platform revenue generation, and OTAs usually recognize transaction commissions and merchant advertising fees as operating income, which requires a large transaction volume.

In terms of revenue, Ctrip’s revenue is much higher than that of Meituan’s wine travel part. In 2018, Ctrip achieved revenue 30.965 billion, which was 10 times that of Meituan’s store and wine travel sector (15.84 billion yuan) in the same period. Meituan’s historical data shows that from 2015 to 2018, the company’s store, hotel and tourism business revenue was 3.77 billion yuan, 7.02 billion yuan, 10.85 billion yuan, and 15.84 billion yuan, respectively. Four times.

From the perspective of growth rate, Ctrip’s revenue growth rate in 2018 was 15.7%, much lower than the 46% growth rate of Meituan Wine Travel.

In addition, we divide revenue by transaction volume to determine the OTA’s liquidity. For the full year of 2018, Ctrip’s overall liquidity rate was 4.3%, Tongcheng Eilong’s overall liquidity rate on a consolidated basis was 4.6%, and Meituan Dianping’s in-store and hotel business was 11.1%, the highest among the three companies.

In addition, GMV (total transaction value of booking business), Ctrip is still the boss. According to the prospectus submitted by Meituan Review before its listing last year, the GMV of Meituan Hotel in 2017 was 36.50 billion yuan, and the GMV of Ctrip during the same period was 600 billion yuan, which is 16 times that of Meituan Hotel.

However, from the perspective of growth rate, Meituan’s growth rate is still much higher than that of Ctrip. In 2017, Ctrip maintained a 40% GMV growth rate, largely relying on the merger of the British search platform Skyscanner. In 2018, its GMV growth rate fell to 20.8%.

On the other hand, the number of room nights in Meituan’s hotel business is also surpassing that of Ctrip. In the hotel tourism business, the profit growth mainly comes from the increase in the number of room nights booked by hotels.

Meituan disclosed in the 2018 annual report that the number of domestic hotel room nights increased from 205 million in 2017 to 284 million in 2018, an increase of 38.5% year-on-year, and the average price per night increased steadily.

But it is worth noting that Meituan’s domestic hotel industry grew 38.5% year-on-year to 284 million in 2018, lower than last year’s growth rate of 55.5%. The number of hotel room nights in the first quarter of this year was 78.60 million, an increase of 29.8% year-on-year, and the growth rate slowed slightly.

According to Trustdata’s third-party monitoring data, Meituan Hotel’s market share in domestic hotel bookings has reached 46.2%, ranking first in the industry, and surpassing the sum of Ctrip, Qunar, and Tongcheng Yilong in March 2018.

But the number of nights seems to have become a bottleneck for Ctrip, and now it has even stopped disclosing the year-on-year growth rate of nights. According to industry estimates, the number of nights at Meituan Hotel has exceeded that of Ctrip as early as 2016.

In addition, although Ctrip still maintains a large advantage in the high-end customer group and high-star hotel resources; Meituan Hotel continues to release signals of penetration from the low-end market to the high-end market. At present, Meituan has more than 250,000 hotels in tier 3-5 cities, accounting for 85%, capturing the user market that Ctrip has not fully covered.

Ctrip’s share is gradually being eroded.

The reason why Meituan has been able to catch up with Ctrip in the wine travel business so quickly is that its huge traffic advantage is a key factor.

Although Ctrip’s annual transaction volume is much higher than that of Meituan Hotel, in terms of the number of annual transaction users, Ctrip has been overtaken by Meituan Reviews.

According to Sun Jie, CEO of Ctrip, two brands, Ctrip and Qunar, have 130 million annual transaction users in China, according to a 2018 conference call. In comparison, Meituan Dianping’s total annual transaction users in 2018 were 400 million.

Although Meituan has another major business that accounts for a major share, Meituan management has said that 90% of the users who booked hotels through Meituan in 2018 were existing takeout users or in-store consumers.

In short, Meituan uses the high-frequency business of takeaway to raise a traffic pool of trading users for 400 million years, and traffic monetization extends its value chain through low-frequency, high-customer unit-price businesses, such as tourism and hotel businesses.

And as mentioned earlier, the first quarter gross profit margin of the wine hotel business was as high as 88.3%, which can be said to be a well-deserved profit center.

In contrast, Ctrip has suffered a lot in terms of traffic due to the lack of online traffic entry.

Overall, Ctrip still has a large advantage in terms of volume, but as a rising star, Meituan has successfully achieved the status of one of the "giants" in the hotel field by virtue of the platform effect, the ecological closure of comprehensive life services and its own service level, and is encroaching on Ctrip’s market at an extremely fast speed.

But then again, in the OTA industry, established companies such as Ctrip have spent nearly 20 years cultivating, and various new players such as Airbnb have entered the market from all aspects, which are also competitive forces that cannot be ignored. Standing at the crossroads of the transformation of the online wine travel industry, Meituan, who is only 8 years old, still has a long way to go.

　　Shanghai, February 7 (Reporter Wang Xiaolei Intern reporter Liu Yidi Liu Hualong) How long can it take 250,000 yuan? Xiao Su (a pseudonym), a 13-year-old girl who lives in Shanghai, only "lasted" for two months! Recently, on the grounds of study, Xiaosu (pseudonym) secretly rewarded her favorite network anchor with her mother’s mobile phone, and spent 250,000 yuan in two months.

　　A huge sum of 250,000 yuan is missing.

　　On the third day of New Year’s Day (January 30th), Ms. Sun, who lives in Shanghai, opened the WeChat payment function, but suddenly found that she was missing 20,000 yuan from her WeChat wallet. At first, Ms. Sun thought that her mobile phone was hacked and her money was stolen. Who knows that I was shocked when I checked the balance of the bank card bound by WeChat payment, and my hard-earned money of 250,000 yuan was actually "missing"!

　　Ms. Sun immediately found the expenditure details of her WeChat payment, and found that since December 25, 2016, her money has been transferred to "Tencent Company" through WeChat payment.

　　Through the WeChat payment details exposed by Ms. Sun, the payee also clearly marked "Tencent Company", and there are two or three transactions every day on average, up to five times. The amount of expenditure varies from time to time, with the maximum amount reaching 9500 yuan and the minimum amount of expenditure reaching 121 yuan.

　　Reward the anchor’s 13-year-old daughter for losing 250,000 yuan in two months.

　　Why is the money inexplicably transferred to Tencent? Ms. Sun and her wife are puzzled. The abnormal performance of the 13-year-old daughter made Ms. Sun begin to turn her suspicious eyes to her daughter.

　　Under the questioning of parents, 13-year-old Xiao Su finally had to admit that she stole her parents’ mobile phone, and bought a large number of "K coins" to reward a male anchor named "Yang Guang" through Tencent’s "National K Songs" APP. At the same time, she also sprinkled a number of red envelopes in the QQ fan base of the male anchor. However, when asked how much he rewarded the male anchor, Xiao Su said that he could not remember.

　　The huge sum of 250 thousand yuan was quietly rewarded to the anchor by her daughter, which made Ms. Sun unable to understand.

　　Ms. Sun told the reporter: "For more than two months, I haven’t received any short message from the bank, which may have been deleted by my child." Ms. Sun even speculated that it was the anchor named "Yang Guang" who secretly told her daughter how to "hide the sky and cross the sea", otherwise how could the child know to do so? She is still so young.

　　After the incident, Ms. Sun didn’t beat and scold the child, but hoped to sit down and talk with the child calmly, but the attitude of the child made Ms. Sun very unhappy: "The child is now aware of the seriousness of the matter, but now she doesn’t want to tell me when she met the anchor. What did they talk about before? Who let her reward? "

　　Ms. Sun knows that her children will play mobile phones in their spare time. She thinks that it is not forbidden to relax and entertain outside of study, but she didn’t expect her children to use their hard-earned money to reward male anchors in a "crazy" way.

　　Reporter’s investigation: "mentoring relationship" asks for a reward in person.

　　The reporter opened Tencent’s "National K Song" APP and found that it is a live broadcast software with singing as the main content. The two anchors can also carry out "even wheat PK", and the lost anchor will be punished to some extent, so this also promotes the contest of "spelling fans" and "spelling K coins" between anchors.

　　The reporter found the male anchor "Yang Guang" in the "National K Song" APP. The content of this male anchor’s live broadcast is mainly singing, with a total of more than 700,000 fans. The reporter also saw Xiao Su’s name in the "Contribution List" on the left side of the APP column. When the reporter found "Yang Guang", he was broadcasting live, and even directly asked his fans for various gifts during the live broadcast.

　　The reporter learned that the male anchor named "Yang Guang" and Xiao Su are virtual "mentoring relationship". However, this mentoring relationship can not be solved by shouting "master" in vain, but by sending two "planes". One "plane" costs 6666 "K coins", which is 666.6 yuan, so these two "planes" will cost more than 1300 yuan.

　　Judging from the chat records that Ms. Sun sent to reporters, "Yang Guang" often asked Xiaosu to "patch up" her new songs, that is, she asked Xiaosu to send herself "K coins" and even asked for 20,000 yuan at a time.

　　According to statistics, Xiao Su spent a total of RMB 210,000 on the male anchor "Yang Guang", and also sent a red envelope of RMB 40,000 in his QQ fan base, spending a total of RMB 250,000.

　　It is a problem for parents to report huge sums of money.

　　It is understood that Ms. Sun and her husband did not give Xiaosu a fixed monthly allowance, but Xiaosu would ask her parents for it if she was short of money, but there were no excessive demands. Ms. Sun said: "Children have always lived with us, and they are usually more obedient and sensible. Although we are busy at work, we can say that our concern for our children has never been ignored. We are shocked by such a thing. "

　　In the face of the disappearance of 250,000 yuan, Ms. Sun and her wife were at a loss and finally decided to call the police.

　　The reporter learned from the Sijing Police Station of Shanghai Songjiang Branch that Xiaosu and her mother did go to the police station to report the case on February 3, 2017.

　　Later, the police learned that the policeman Xiao Su took the initiative to give gifts to the male anchor on the "National K Song" live broadcast platform, and there was no fraud during the period, so the public security organ did not accept the case. In addition, the police at the Sijing police station also said that there were many online and telecom frauds in the cases they accepted, but the way of rewarding on the platform was rare.

　　It does not constitute fraud, and the public security organs have no way to accept it. Whether the huge sum of 250,000 yuan can be recovered has become a big problem.

　　Lawyer’s advice: it can be invalidated.

　　This afternoon, the reporter consulted Zheng Hongtao, a lawyer of Beijing Qualcomm Law Firm. Zheng Hongtao believes that this kind of incident does not constitute a criminal case, but a voluntary civil act, which should be resolved through civil channels.

　　In addition, Zheng Hongtao also explained to reporters that because Xiao Su is under 16 years old, he still belongs to a person with limited capacity, and his behavior now far exceeds his own cognition, and he can be invalidated by law. From a legal point of view, once similar incidents happen, the large consumption made by minors without their parents’ permission can be recovered.

　　Xiaosu’s parents, as guardians, can recognize Xiaosu’s behavior of rewarding and spending money as "invalid" in order to recover this "huge sum". It is not only Xiao Su’s "reward" money that can be recovered. Lawyer Zheng Hongtao said that any large-scale consumption without the owner’s approval can not be recognized or ratified by the owner.

　　Zheng Hongtao also stressed that parents should fulfill their guardianship duties for the money management of minors. For example, large amounts of money, bank card passwords, WeChat payment passwords, etc., try not to give children the opportunity to control.

　　There are quite a few Xiong Haizi who secretly spent their parents’ hard-earned money.

　　The reporter found on the Internet that it is not uncommon for minors to secretly reward anchors with their parents’ money.

　　On April 8, 2016, Xiaolin (a pseudonym), a 12-year-old boy from Fujian Province, stole his mother’s mobile phone to buy expensive virtual items for the anchor in order to please his favorite anchor, and spent nearly 30,000 yuan a month. After verification, the live broadcast platform confirmed that Kobayashi’s account has a corresponding purchase record recently, and the full amount will be refunded.

　　Coincidentally, from October 7 to November 27, 2016, Xiaoming (a pseudonym), a 14-year-old boy from Lishui, Zhejiang Province, rewarded five game anchors for playing mobile games on his behalf, spending a total of more than 30,000 yuan, until only fifteen cents remained on the savings card. Xiao Ming said that his parents are busy at work and have no time to take care of him at all, so he often can only play alone. "Only games can make me happy."

　　Experts suggest that parents should create a healthy growth space for their children.

　　As for this kind of behavior that appears in a large number of minors, the reporter contacted Dai Qun, a professor of psychology at Tianjin Institute of Physical Education.

　　Dai Qun said that children’s behavior belongs to idolize’s behavior, and there are two reasons for this behavior in the background of the Internet age. First of all, it is the parents’ reasons. If the child lacks the company of his parents or the family atmosphere is not good, the child will have this kind of behavior beyond common sense. Secondly, today’s children are "aborigines" in the internet age, which children can’t get in real life, but can be realized through the internet. online celebrity has an enviable appearance or talent, and can get online celebrity’s caring and attentive and direct interaction by rewarding gifts … … These will bring children a sense of gain and satisfaction, and children can reward so much money without their parents knowing, and parents will inevitably neglect management and care.

　　Dai Qun told reporters that the most important thing for parents in family education is not guidance or severe criticism, but to create a good family atmosphere and take practical actions to care for their children. Dai Qun said that everyone can’t be born without human relationships. Parents’ relationships, friends’ relationships, classmates’ relationships, etc. are all indispensable in the process of life growth. As parents, they should take appropriate care of their children according to the actual situation of their children, and they should not be too strict or relaxed in the past to create a healthy growth space for their children.

　　[car home Information] As you can see, this is the second issue of the series "Let the World See China". The purpose of this series of topics is to let you know the strength of China Auto, China R&D and China Manufacturing. After watching the last issue of Great Wall Motor Group (click here to review), today we will talk about Geely Group, another China brand that often competes with Great Wall Motor for the first place.

　　Geely Group, a brand that all its brands didn’t make big moves during the auto show, still makes people can’t be ignored. Compared with the cool and endless Mechanosaurus of Salon Automobile owned by Great Wall, the rather bluffing destroyer of BYD and the mysterious OMODA 5 of Chery, Geely Automobile only sent a geometric Kung Fu Bull and released a hybrid version of (|). But it turns out that even without a new car, Geely’s Guangzhou Auto Show booth is packed with people.

　　If you want me to sum up my impression of Geely Group’s brands, I think it is a word "dare". Geely Group has always been a group that dares to think and do, and dares to compete for the first place, as do all its brands. They dare to innovate, set high prices, compete with overseas brands, and dare to challenge the waters that China brands have never tried. So today, let’s take you around the booths of Geely’s four brands: Geely, Lectra, Geometry and Krypton. Believe me, these brands will surely catch your eye among the flowers.

■ Geely Automobile (Hall 1.1, 1st Floor, Zone A)

　　At present, among Geely’s products, the "China Star" series has attracted much attention, and many consumers at the auto show are circling around the Star Yue L. This big five-seat SUV with "Voriwo Gas" sells for 13.72-18.52 million yuan. It has a polygonal front grille with a straight waterfall-style middle net design, with a hint of Volvo flavor. It is worth mentioning that its wheelbase has reached 2845mm, reaching the level of a medium-sized SUV but positioning it as a compact SUV, which is really modest.

　　The interior is adhering to the consistent standard of Geely family. Suede with metal decorative board is very exquisite, and the kindness of materials is also commendable. In terms of interconnection, the car system of Xingyue L is named "Geely Yinhe os". In terms of multimedia system, the third screen of the co-pilot is standard for the top models, while the middle products are optional to meet the needs of users.

　　In terms of power, the two-wheel drive model adopts a low-power 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 218 HP and a maximum torque of 325 Nm, which is matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox; The four-wheel drive model is equipped with a 2.0T high-power engine, with a maximum horsepower of 238 HP and a maximum torque of 350 Nm, and the gearbox is 8AT.

　　At the Guangzhou Auto Show, the hybrid version of Xingyue L was officially released. The new car was replaced with a new style of front grille, supplemented by horizontal and thick chrome trim strips, and matched with the all-silver Geely LOGO logo, which made it unique. It is equipped with the Hi·X hybrid system of Lei Shenqing, and will be booked and sold in December, which is very worth looking forward to.

　　The same is true of the Star Rui of Geely’s "Star Series". It has the wheelbase and power level of a medium-sized car, but it compresses the length of the car body and goes to the hometown of a compact car to bully people. The appearance is also "Voriwo gas", and the price is 11.37-15.27 million yuan. It is also worth choosing.

　　In addition to the "Star Series", Geely’s Borui, Bo Yue, Bin Rui, Bin Yue and other products have also been in the car circle for many years. If you want to play with your personality, the strange little ICON can also satisfy you, and the new Haoyue newly listed before the auto show is also worth seeing; Want to be cost-effective, the Emgrand Corps led by four generations of Emgrand-Emgrand S, Emgrand L and Emgrand GL also look forward to your eyes. Want a better price/performance ratio? Then take a look at the vision series.

　　In short, Geely’s products cover compact to medium-sized vehicles, SUVs to cars to MPVs, with the price range from 50,000 to 200,000, and the appearance from individuality to moderation to luxury … In short, if you want to buy an affordable and beautiful car, you may wish to open car home and search for Geely, which can basically satisfy you.

■ Lingke (Hall 5.2, 2nd Floor, Zone A)

　　The Geely family mentioned above doesn’t seem to have more than 200,000 products. What about the more demanding consumers? Look here-the Lectra family pulled you from 100 thousand to 350 thousand.

　　Since the car show was just born, Link Auto has unswervingly taken the "nightclub" style, and older people or social terrorists are afraid to go up. Other booths are brightly lit. I wish a searchlight could give you a clear picture of all the pearls in the car paint. The Lingke side is directly blackened, with colorful lights. This Guangzhou Auto Show also danced street dance. The practice on the second floor is the performance auto show area, and the content of handsome guys and beautiful women exceeds the standard. In short, it is the world of young people, and high is not acceptable.

　　Although I, a social terrorist, basically shuns this style of booth, I can’t underestimate the products of Lectra. At present, the Lectra family has several cars, 01/02/02 Hatchback/03/05/06/09, of which 03 and Lectra 02 Hatchback are cars, and the rest are the favorite SUVs of Chinese people, and most of them have new energy versions.

　　The C position of the Lectra booth is naturally its own flagship-Lectra 09. The car is still hot. It just went on the market at the end of October, and the price range is 26.59-37.09 million yuan. It was born out of the same SPA architecture of Volvo XC90, and it is positioned as a medium and large SUV. The power comes standard with a Drive-E 2.0T engine, and the PHEV version is optional.

　　The appearance, pricing and positioning of this car are controversial. In terms of appearance, a frivolous cliche "family appearance+personality design" is not enough to describe its uniqueness. Of course, different people have different opinions on the appearance, so I won’t comment too much. Let’s have a look for ourselves.

　　The other is pricing. The main selling price range of Link 09 is around 300,000, which breaks through the ceiling of China brand.

　　Then there is positioning. The target of Link 09 is Highlander, Li ONE, etc. However, this market focuses on home use and large space, and many models have been dubbed as "daddy’s favorite". However, Lectra 09 is not dominant in these aspects, and its appearance takes a personalized route. Although the replaced Highlander can no longer be described as "old-fashioned", it is not exaggerated to the extent of Lectra 09. Therefore, the whole car looks a bit "twisted".

　　As for the interior, configuration and so on, in a word, you can always believe in Geely. Link naturally won’t cut corners in these places, with exquisite materials, rich details and powerful configuration. It can be regarded as inheriting the fine tradition of Geely and worthy of its price and positioning. For example, the front seat supports 12-way electric adjustment, seat heating function, head-up display, dashboard AR navigation, mobile phone wireless charging, steering wheel heating, mobile phone Bluetooth key, trunk induction tailgate, one-button remote automatic parking outside the car, rear privacy glass and other practical configurations will not be absent; In terms of safety configuration, the Lectra 09 has been equipped with L2-class driving assistance functions since the mid-range models, including lane keeping assistance, automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise. High-equipped models add functions such as blind spot monitoring, reversing anti-collision, high-speed automatic lane change and automatic parking; The top model has added low-speed congestion navigation function, which can realize L3-level automatic driving assistance. The name-like configuration of this string of newspapers reflects the conscience and sincerity of the leader.

　　Let me say that LECK 09 is a bold and confident product. It doesn’t underestimate itself and take the initiative to lower the price, nor does it follow the trend of moderation in a large space. On the contrary, it looks like a personality and makes public, which is worthy of its "LECK" LOGO. This is also the self-confidence and upward performance of China brand. We hope that China brands can be themselves like this car.

　　In addition to the flagship Lectra 09, the performance car area on the second floor is also worthy of attention. Lectra 03+, Lectra 05+ and other cars with "+"are the performance car series of Lectra family. It is also another point that Link is emphasizing. These models with "+"provide a wealth of customized options, including all-carbon fiber aerodynamic kit (including front lip and side skirt), all-carbon fiber large rear spoiler, etc. At the same time, they are not stingy in terms of power. The 254 horsepower and 350 N·m torque from generate, a 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder turbocharged engine of Lectra 03+, combined with the 8-speed automatic transmission, make it worthy of the name of "performance car". Transmission is Aisin’s third-generation 8AT gearbox.

　　Lingke 03+ and others are facing rivals such as Golf GTI with profound historical background, technical background and mass base. However, Lingke family products have always been nothing to be afraid of. Some people think that China brand has no "automobile culture" and is not worthy of being a performance car. However, China brand has always had the spirit of doing what it wants, and it is the last word to take the first step. Who can say that after a hundred years, the Lectra family will not leave a brilliant legacy in the history of performance cars?

　　　　CCTV News (Chinese World): In one of the 20 events of the Beijing Paralympic Games, all athletes sit on the ground to compete, which is sitting volleyball. Sitting volleyball originated in the Netherlands in 1956. In 1980, men’s sitting volleyball first entered the Paralympic Games as an official event. At the 12th Paralympic Games held in Athens in 2004, women’s sitting volleyball was listed as an official event, and China won the championship in one fell swoop. Let’s take a look at sitting volleyball.

　　　　The sitting volleyball competition in Paralympic Games is basically the same as that in Olympic Games, but the difference is that athletes need to sit on the floor to compete, and the venue is smaller than that in Olympic Games.

　　　　　　Project setting

　　　　There are men’s and women’s volleyball competitions in Beijing Paralympic Games, which are divided into four stages: preliminaries, qualifying, semi-finals and finals. The sitting volleyball competition of Beijing Paralympic Games will be held in the gymnasium of China Agricultural University from September 7 to 15, 2008.

　　　　　　Athlete classification

　　　　The players who take part in the sitting volleyball competition in the Paralympic Games are composed of amputees, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries and other physical disabilities, among which amputees are the main ones. Athletes participating in the competition must first meet the minimum grading standard of physical disability. According to the sitting volleyball rules, at most one of the six players on the field has reached the minimum grading standard.

　　　　　Venue equipment

　　　　The paralympic sitting volleyball competition venue is divided into competition area and barrier-free area with two different colors. The playing field is a rectangle of 10m× 6m, and the center line connects the ends of two sideline lines on the Internet. This sideline line divides the playing field into two equal playing fields, and each playing field has an attack line 2m away from the center line to mark the frontcourt area.

　　　　Paralympics sitting volleyball is a team event, which basically follows the rules of perfect volleyball, but there are some special provisions. The six players on each team must sit on the court to play the game. During the game, the defender can directly intercept the serve. There are also some special regulations about hips off the ground. During the competition, athletes’ hips must keep in contact with the ground, and they are not allowed to stand and walk. When serving, hitting, blocking and attacking shots, their hips are not allowed to lift off the ground. Defenders can lift off for a short time when saving a ball that is far away. As long as it does not interfere with the opponent’s game, the legs or feet of the players are allowed to cross the center line, but they should be taken back to the field immediately.

　　　　Before the start of the sitting volleyball competition, the athletes will enter the stadium collectively and salute the audience, which is a sign of respect for the audience, and the audience should also respond to the athletes with warm applause. Appreciating the sitting volleyball match requires the audience to treat the special rules of the court with an understanding attitude because of the particularity of the objective existence. Angels with broken wings can also fly. Disabled athletes overcome their physical defects with tenacious perseverance and bring us beautiful enjoyment. Let’s give them the warmest applause for their wonderful performance.

　　CCTV News:According to China Weather Network, recently, due to the influence of subtropical high, there has been a continuous sultry sauna day in the northeast and north China, and the highest temperature in many places has broken historical extremes. It is expected that this round of high temperature weather in the north will gradually weaken and fade on the 5 th. The high temperature has gone up and down. Affected by the rain and the wind and rain brought by the lark, the high temperature range in the south will be significantly reduced today (2 nd) and tomorrow, and it will make a comeback on the 4 th.

　　The high temperature has gradually weakened since the "sauna" in Northeast China and North China continued for 5 days.

　　Since the end of July, due to the influence of subtropical high, there has been continuous high temperature weather in northeast and north China, and the air humidity is high, making people feel like a sauna. Yesterday, there was a high temperature in Shenyang, Liaoning Province for the fifth consecutive day. The highest temperatures in Dandong and Dalian reached 37.3℃ and 36.9℃ respectively, setting a meteorological record for extreme values. Temperatures in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei and Shandong are also above 35℃, which is sultry and unbearable.

　　Yesterday, street people in Hohhot wore sunscreen masks to travel. Recently, the meteorological department of Inner Mongolia has continuously issued high-temperature warnings.

　　In the next few days, the above areas will still accept high temperature "baking inspection". The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that before August 5, the high temperature in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, northern Shandong, central and eastern Inner Mongolia, most of Liaoning and central and southern Jilin will gradually develop, and the high temperature in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and Liaoning will last for 3 to 5 days. In this regard, the Central Meteorological Observatory continued to issue a high-temperature yellow warning this morning.

　　In this round of high temperature process, Shenyang is "outstanding". The highest temperature in Shenyang has exceeded 35℃ for five consecutive days, and the highest temperature will continue at or above 35℃ in the next three days, which is likely to break the record of the highest number of consecutive days of high temperature, which appeared in 1952 and lasted for five consecutive days. At the same time, the highest temperature in Shenyang today may reach 37℃, which will set a new record for the local extreme highest temperature in August (the previous record was 35.7℃). In addition, with the continuous expansion of high temperature, the temperature in Changchun may reach 36℃ on the 3rd, which will not only set a new high this year, but also become the hottest day in the local observation history in August. The high temperature in Changchun in August is very rare, and there has been only one high temperature on August 3, 1968 since it was recorded in 1951.

　　In addition to the northeast, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and northern Shandong will also have high temperatures in the next three days, and the highest temperatures in Beijing, Tianjin, Shijiazhuang and Jinan will remain at 35 C or above. The temperature in North China is high during the day and not low at night, and the lowest temperature is mostly above 26℃, and Tianjin will exceed 28℃. Moreover, due to the high relative humidity, the somatosensory temperature is higher, and the sultry feeling is not inferior to that in the south.

　　The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that in five days, the hot weather in the above-mentioned areas in the north will end. This round of high-temperature weather lasts for a long time, and the high temperature in some areas breaks the extreme value. People in the above areas need to be prepared for heatstroke prevention and cooling, and try to avoid going out at the hottest noon. If they have to go out, they should take sun protection measures and replenish water in time. Outdoor workers prepare some heatstroke prevention drugs for emergencies.

　　The high temperature area in the south has been significantly reduced, and it has made a comeback since the 4 th

　　For many places in the south that have been suffering from high temperature for nearly half a month, we will enjoy a short coolness today and tomorrow. Affected by the rain and the wind and rain brought by the typhoon "Lark", the high temperature area in the south will continue to shrink today and tomorrow. Today, the western and southern parts of the south of the Yangtze River and most of southern China are out of the high temperature range. Tomorrow, there will be little high temperature left, only parts of northern Chongqing, northeastern Hubei and northwestern Jiangxi still have a small range of high temperature, and the rest areas will basically end the high temperature temporarily. In the area of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, due to the wind and rain brought by the typhoon "Lark", the maximum temperature in many places will drop to around 30℃ tomorrow.

　　Although the high temperature in the south has shrunk, the highest temperature in many places is still around 33℃, and the sultry feeling will continue. At the same time, the cooling time is very short. Starting from the 4th, the high temperature in the south will return strongly. At present, it is in the middle of the sky, and high temperature is the main theme. People in the southern region need to continue to prepare for heatstroke prevention and cooling.
