How to choose Peugeot 4008 with obvious advantages and disadvantages?

Text | Xiao Zhi

  When it comes to French cars, consumers who are used to labeling can think of it for the first time, which is romantic but not practical enough. It is true that there were some anti-human designs in French cars in previous years, but the times are developing and enterprises are changing. It is unfair to look at French cars with this fixed vision again.

  As we wrote a comparative article about Koleos before, we can find that both product strength and cost performance have made great progress. So what is the strength of Peugeot 4008, which is also a French car and is also hotly debated by everyone? Which one is more cost-effective?

  Appearance performance

  The new 4008 adopts Peugeot’s latest family-style design language, and the front face adopts lattice air intake grille, which we have seen on the new 308. Coupled with the new lion’s eye headlights, the front face of the new Peugeot 4008 looks full of personality.

  Compared with the front face, the taillights with lion claw shape may be more colorful and more recognizable.

  This kind of design can be said to be very appetizing for young people.

  Interior performance

  The exterior is brilliant, but what about the interior? I think the word "stunning" would be more appropriate.Entering the car, I believe everyone will be attracted by the fighter-style i-Cockpit cockpit, so that everyone will question how such an interior shape can appear in the production car. If you think about it carefully, maybe only French people who are unrestrained will have such works.

  Small-diameter racing steering wheel, a row of piano buttons, scorpion tail-swinging electronic gear lever, and 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel (except for entry-level models), all of which add up to a sense of technology and design, but are really amazing, which is absolutely unparalleled among competitors at the same level.

  Configuration performance

  In terms of configuration, the new 4008 will be equipped with shift paddles, electronic handbrake, 8-inch touch screen, electronic body stability system and engine start-stop system as standard.

  The middle and high models also add 12.3-inch LCD instrument panel, exterior rearview mirror with electric folding and heating function, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, panoramic sunroof, 8-way electric adjustment for the first officer, front seat heating and lumbar support, front radar, navigation and car interconnection system, wireless charging, inductive opening and closing of rear luggage compartment lid, panoramic image, automatic parking and so on.

  The ADAS automatic driving assistance function that Peugeot is proud of is only available in top models.

  Body size performance

  As can be seen from the icon, compared with the standard compact SUVs such as Koleo, Tiguan and Maverick, the body size of the new Peugeot 4008 is still very advantageous. Although the length of the car is not as long as that of the new Koleo and Maverick, the width and wheelbase of the car have advantages.

  Compared with the "half-class" Angkewei, the new 4008 has a wheelbase difference of only 20mm when the body length is 157 mm. Seeing this performance, we can feel that Peugeot’s lengthening and widening of the overseas version of the 3008 is in line with the needs of the China market.

  Dynamic performance

  Dongfeng Peugeot 4008 provides two power systems: 1.6THP and 1.8THP. The former has a maximum power of 167 HP (123kW) and a peak torque of 245 Nm. The latter is exclusive to China market, with a maximum power of 204 HP (150kW) and a peak torque of 280 Nm. In terms of transmission system, both engines are matched with a six-speed automatic manual transmission.

  It is worth mentioning that these two engines can explode the maximum torque at 1400 rpm, which will be particularly exciting in daily use. And as long as the fuel consumption is more than 6 o’clock, this performance is still very good.

  Having said that, which Peugeot 4008 is the most cost-effective, and how should consumers choose it?

  At present, 4008 has two powertrains, of which 1.6T can also enjoy the policy of halving the purchase tax. Therefore, the cost performance analysis is carried out according to different displacement.

  ?1.6T model cost performance.

  According to the calculation of "Car Selection Artifact" of Smart Car Selection, the product cost performance of three models with 1.6T power is as follows:

  (Cost-effective data sourceIntelligent car selection "car selection artifact")

  You can also scan the QR code below to enter the page of Dongfeng Peugeot 4008 car series, and check the reference price in your area for comparison and calculation:

  ?Thinking process

  From the perspective of pure product cost performance, we can clearly see the cost performance of three 1.6T versions of 4008 through the calculation of car selection artifact, and the top matching of 1.6T version should be the first choice-350THP deluxe edition(230,700), followed by350THP Elite Edition(208,700).

  Let’s compare them separately. What’s the difference between specific models?

  1、350THP Deluxe Edition vs 350THP Elite Edition

  The cost performance of the two cars is not much different, but in terms of configuration, the luxury version has a lot of safety configuration and internal configuration, and it will be very troublesome to install these configurations later. 22,000 for these configurations is actually quite worthwhile.

  2、350THP Elite Edition vs 350THP Comfort Edition

  Comparing the two low-profile models, Xiao Zhi thinks that the elite version is not attractive except for panoramic sunroof, automatic air conditioner and full LCD instrument panel, and it is 23,000 higher than the comfortable version. Therefore, although the elite version is more cost-effective, it is not recommended by Xiao Zhi.

  As soon as these two groups are compared, I believe that the configuration differences between the 350THP Deluxe Edition and the Elite Edition are clear to everyone, so Xiao Zhi is not going to make a concrete comparison here.

  From the comparison results,If the budget is sufficient, the top match of the 1.6T model —350THP Deluxe Edition is definitely worth buying.You have all the configurations you want. butIf the budget is really limited, buy the lowest price.What leather seats and keyless entry system can be installed at a later stage.

  ?1.8T model cost performance.

  The most cost-effective 1.8T model is the 380THP luxury model, followed by the luxury GT version, which is the top model of the whole system. Let’s look at the differences.

  1、380THP Deluxe Edition vs 380THP Elite Edition

  The difference between the two is 20,000 yuan, but the deluxe edition has done a comprehensive job in terms of safety configuration and comfort configuration, and Xiao Zhi personally feels that the money is well spent.

  2、380THP deluxe edition vs 380THP deluxe GT edition

  In addition to active brakes, panoramic cameras and LED headlights, the top models don’t have much eye-catching feeling. And like what automatic parking, memory seats, 360 panoramic images, can only be said to be "icing on the cake", not just needed. Therefore, the 380THP Deluxe Edition is more cost-effective.

  ? How to choose 1.6T and 1.8T?

  Let’s take a look at the models with the highest cost performance, and who is better.

  The comparison results show that the most cost-effective version is of course the 350THP Deluxe Edition. Let’s see where the difference is.

  There is no difference between the two except that the motivation is different. However, we should know that the 1.8T model is 13,000 more expensive than the 1.6T model, and the power difference between them is not very big. And the 1.6T model can still enjoy the policy of halving the purchase tax. Therefore, considering comprehensively, the 350THP Deluxe Edition is the most worthwhile model for the 4008.

  Xiao Zhi’s comprehensive proposal

  1. Of course, the first choice is350THP Deluxe Edition;

  2. And the budget is really limited, and there is no strong requirement for configuration. Choose185,700 350THP comfort version is enough.;

  In fact, after reading the full text, we will find that Peugeot 4008 is a very distinctive car. First of all, the beautiful exterior design and unrestrained interior modeling have maintained the consistent advantages of the French, and young consumers in China are willing to pay for it. The extension of the overseas version of 3008 and its introduction into China as the new 4008 highlighted the French’s compromise on the China market.

  After seeing this, you may find that Peugeot seems to understand the hearts of China consumers more and more. In fact, this car also has obvious shortcomings: for example, there is no four-wheel drive system in the whole system. Although the four-wheel drive system of urban SUV is more to increase the stability of driving on wet roads, you don’t have it, which is a short board; For another example, its rear suspension is still a torsion beam type non-independent suspension, which is simply unacceptable to many people in more than 200,000 cars, even if you train well!

  Look at its price again, the main sales models are above 200,000, which is difficult to support as far as Peugeot’s brand premium ability is concerned.

  For consumers who are ready to start, if you can accept the shortcomings of the 4008, Xiao Zhi thinks this car can definitely be bought. After all, its unconstrained design matches the temperament of young people who are pursuing maverick nowadays. For the young people whose face value is controlled, why not buy unusual enjoyment at the same price?

Teach bad children? Another cartoon was blacklisted by parents!

  Beijing, June 6 (Reporter Yuan Xiuyue) What kind of cartoons can’t children watch? This problem is not only the concern of parents, but also a social topic that is often talked about.

  Recently, a blogger posted a post pointing out that the content of the cartoon "Ye Luoli, Dream of the Spirit" is over-adult, which has caused controversy on the Internet.

  Previously, The Legend of the Seven Chivalrous Men of Lan Tu, the Rainbow Cat, stopped broadcasting, and later Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf were criticized for violence. Why was Ye Luoli, The Soul Dream, blacklisted?

  Why is Ye Luoli, the Soul Dream, popular with children?

  Although it seems to have a small reputation, among the children, Ye Luoli, a dream of the Spirit, has a large-scale "die-hard powder".

  According to the Investigation Report on the Infringement on the Growth and Safety Consumption of Minors in the Animation Field released by Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee, in the option of "Which cartoon does your child usually like to watch", Ye Luoli, a Dream of the Spirit, is ranked third, second only to Bears and Piggy Page.

  Since 2013, Ye Luoli has been broadcast for eight seasons, with a total of 208 episodes. The total broadcast volume of the whole network has exceeded 10 billion times, and the net profit of its production and distribution company reached 16.7979 million yuan last year.

  Why is Ye Luoli, a Dream of the Spirit, popular with children? I’m afraid the main reasons are his imaginative "magic" story, his adventure experience of fighting wits with bad guys and his idealized growth projection.

  The embryonic form of Ye Luoli is from the stage play Night Lori, which tells the story of a group of night Lori who guard the human world and fight hard to resist the invasion of the bad queen from the magical world.

  Animation basically continued the setting of the stage play. In addition to the human world, there is also a Ye Luoli fairyland parallel to it. Because of the destruction of the natural environment by human beings, Ye Luoli Wonderland has also been affected. The legion headed by the evil queen Mandora wants to occupy the human world.

  However, Xin Lingxian believes that human beings will realize themselves. Therefore, she came to the human world with the fairy Ye Luoli who became a doll. The leading group headed by Wang Mo entered into a contract with the fairies to fight against the Queen.

  In terms of the protagonist, this cartoon also has the same characteristics as other girl cartoons such as "Beautiful Girl Warrior" and "Amazing KINOMOTO SAKURA Magic Card". They all come from ordinary backgrounds, but occasionally they gain magical power beyond the reach of ordinary people, from their unattractive appearance to their radiant appearance, and then they gain the love of the same sex or the opposite sex.

  For children, this setting is more intimate. In addition, the tortuous and imaginative plot, the transformation process of the characters, exquisite and beautiful costumes and bright colors and pictures in the play have also become sharp tools to attract children.

  Adult tendency

  However, behind the high heat, Ye Luoli, a dream of the spirit, did not win a high reputation, and the highest score of Douban was only 5.3 points.

  There are several kinds of opinions in the comment area: one kind of netizens think that the dolls in the play are particularly beautiful, and changing clothes from time to time will make it easier for children to pay attention to their appearance. The role is too "virgin", see how easy it is to become "silly and sweet".

  Second, some netizens believe that the content involved in the play, such as being too poor and loving the rich and material worship, will lead to bad value guidance.

  Some netizens said that the girls in the play are too exposed, and the relationship between characters may also lead to puppy love.

  In fact, to sum up, it is a word "adult tendency", which is manifested in the adult image, the social hierarchy concept and consumption concept of the adult world and so on. For example, although the protagonists are all students of grade five or six in primary schools, they are all images of adult men and women after transformation, especially the figure of girls is exaggerated, which blurs the sense of age to some extent.

  Secondly, people who are good-looking and have a good family background are popular, otherwise they will be evaluated as "embarrassed to go out". With more episodes and more characters, the actors and fans also formed CP. For example, Wang Mo and Water Prince’s "Shui Mo" CP, "Pang Ying" CP, "Jin Luo" CP, etc., became a chaotic stew of CP, and sometimes caused fans to fight.

  The aforementioned self-media bloggers also said in the article, "These primary school students are straightforward in quarreling and tearing each other, fierce in jealousy, skillful in designing and framing, and exaggerated in love, which makes adults blush."

  In response, the Shijiazhuang Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Film and Tourism has asked the company to carry out verification and rectification. The company has revised the content that is easy to cause ambiguity and replaced it on the relevant broadcast platform. The next step will be to organize experts to conduct a comprehensive review of the works.

  Recently, Ye Luoli, the Soul Dream, issued a statement, saying that in view of the fact that some of the contents were made nearly ten years ago, they were relatively old, and the contents of the fragments that were easy to cause ambiguity had been revised and replaced.

  At the same time, the statement mentioned that some of the contents were "taken out of context" and tampered with the plot, such as describing Wang Mo and his friends cooking for their mothers as incarnate fairy wives cooking for boys. In this regard, it will reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility.

  In addition, the statement also said that it is open to the view that mermaid, Cinderella and Ye Luoli mentioned in the article are not suitable for girls to watch.

  Should cartoons be "backed up"?

  The adult animation has always been a sword hanging in the hearts of parents. There are many controversies caused by this, and the most common one is violence.

  Previously, The Legend of Lan Tu Seven Chivalrous Men, a Rainbow Cat, was questioned for its violent tendency, and then stopped broadcasting. Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf and Bear Haunted have been approved for violence, swearing and abuse, which is not good for children’s growth. In 2013, a pair of brothers in Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province were severely burned because they imitated the plot of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Big Wolf" and "kidnapped roast sheep", which caused widespread heated discussion, and the animation production company was also taken to court.

  The above-mentioned Investigation Report on Consumption Infringement on the Growth Safety of Minors in the Animation Field also mentioned that there are still dangerous imitations in the animation works for young children, such as the characters in Peggy Piggy have made dangerous behaviors such as opening the door of an airplane, surfing, and so on. In Little Paulie, there are scenes such as soaking in magma and spitting fire, and in Amazing Martin, the characters have kissed a toad, stood on an unsealed platform and hung from the door frame.

  There are still many people blacklisted by parents. For example, in the earlier Barbie cartoons, parents were worried because a little girl was clamoring for marriage and children. A few years ago, "Piggy Peggy" was also boycotted by parents because of "jumping into the mud pit".

  So, which cartoons are for children to watch, which ones need parents’ company, and which ones involve sexual violence and are not suitable for children to watch?

  In the eyes of the industry, to solve these problems, the animation grading system will be the general trend. The Radio and Television Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC) (Draft for Comment) issued in March also mentioned measures such as setting up a special frequency channel for minors, a special time slot for minors, a special program area for minors, and a model for minors.

  In addition, the responsibilities of parents are also essential. Many people believe that children’s education is still focused on parents, and cartoons can’t be blamed.

  Xiong Bingqi, vice president of 21st Century Education Research Institute, once told the reporter of Zhongxin.com that when children watch cartoons, parents should accompany and guide them to improve their ability to distinguish. He believes that the problem now is that some parents don’t have time to accompany their children, so they throw them an cartoon or let them play games. In this process, children’s bad habits are formed.

  In the Internet age, there is a vast amount of information, and parents are still the most important "gatekeepers" for children’s whole growth process. There are many types of cartoons, and they also vary from person to person. Whether it is suitable for children or not, parents might as well have a look at it themselves first. (End)

This year’s Spring Festival holiday car rental orders reached 2.3 times that of the same period last year.

Let’s look at road trips again. Although there are still a few days before the Spring Festival holiday, we found that the car rental market became active early, and the order volume increased significantly compared with the same period last year.

According to the data of CAR Inc., by February 3rd, the total order volume of car rental during the Spring Festival holiday in 2024 was 2.3 times that of the same period in 2023. At the same time, everyone’s lease term is longer, and the average lease term has increased by more than 20% (21.9%) compared with 2023. The booming holiday car rental market shows that people are more willing to travel by car during the Spring Festival holiday and their spending power is also improving.

Car rental orders in southern provinces with large tourism resources are relatively high.

On the whole, compared with 2023, the number of car rental orders in all provinces in China has increased to varying degrees. Among them, southern provinces and provinces with large tourism resources have relatively high orders, such as Yunnan, Sichuan, Hainan, Guangdong and Fujian.

From the perspective of cities, the TOP10 orders are concentrated in first-and second-tier cities and popular tourist cities. However, compared with 2023, the cities with the largest increase in order volume are third-and fourth-tier cities such as Heshan, Hengshui, Cangzhou and Wenshan, which are the "dark horse" cities with high growth in car rental this year.

The car rental shop of "big traffic+landing rent" transportation hub has a hot business.

According to the data of car rental, the order volume of car rental in different places in the Spring Festival this year is 2.4 times that in 2023, and the cross-regional flow during the Spring Festival holiday is much higher than last year. Car rental stores in railway stations, airports and other transportation hubs are extremely popular, and the mode of "big traffic+landing rent" has become an increasingly popular mode of travel.

Netizens are talking about M8, looking forward to the design and launch of new models.

The news about it has always touched everyone’s heart. Now it is close to the end of 2024. Don’t worry about whether it will be listed or not. It will definitely not be listed. The heart that everyone is looking forward to it has finally landed.

In some online videos, I saw a supplier say that the current m8 is still being tested, the product has not been polished, and it will take some time to go on the market. Some netizens shared that when I went to HarmonyOS Zhixing to buy the company, the sales notice issued at present indicated that the company m8 was expected to be listed in the third quarter of 2025, but it may be ahead of schedule. Now there are many voices saying that it will be listed in the first quarter of 2025, which may depend on the progress of the official test products.

The market positioning of the M8 is between and. The estimated starting price is around 359,800 yuan, and the price range is roughly 360,000 to 410,000 yuan.

Considering the price range of its main competitors (321,800 ~ 379,800 yuan), as well as the adoption of more new technologies and Huawei’s support, its pricing strategy not only reflects high-end positioning, but also has certain market competitiveness.

In terms of appearance design, it is expected that the overall appearance design of Jiaojie M8 is similar to that of Jiaojie M9, with continuous taillights and a front-end design similar to that of M9.

In terms of body size, the length is about 5100~5130 mm, the width is about 1950 mm, the height is between 1780~1800 mm and the wheelbase is close to 3 meters.

This design not only meets the layout requirements of three rows of seats, but also provides users with spacious trunk space. Probably, it will adopt the big 5-seat version and 6-seat version like the m9.

Netizens are still worried about the appearance design of the m8. There are already many pictures saying that it is the m8. Without exception, all of them are fake and designed by netizens themselves. You can have a look, the face value is very high. In addition, all the pictures posted in this article are designed by netizens, not real pictures.

Recently, the ideal offensive has been too fierce. At the beginning of the year, everyone thought that the ideal would be left far behind by the world of inquiry. I didn’t expect the ideal to climb to the first place in the new power list. In October, I didn’t expect to kill a zero-running car halfway and rank second. It’s really incredible.

It seems that the m8 really needs to be launched early. Consumers have long heard about the existence of this car, and they have been waiting and watching, and dare not buy other HarmonyOS smart cars. Good meals are not afraid of being late. I hope this m8 will give us more surprises.

Jianghuai Ruifeng M3 CNG enriches the Gemini lineup and becomes a new choice to reduce costs and increase efficiency.

In the gas car market, consumers’ demand for efficient, environmentally friendly and economical travel is growing day by day. Jianghuai Ruifeng has an insight into the market trend, and has carefully built two gas vehicles, Ruifeng M3 CNG and Ruifeng M4 CNG. With excellent performance, stable quality and high fuel economy, these two models have become the best in the gas vehicle market.

Generally speaking, MPV users will choose to modify CNG vehicles in order to save costs. However, if there are mistakes or improper operations in the modification and use process, there will be certain security risks. Therefore, when considering changing automobile oil to gas, it is necessary to select professional institutions or manufacturers with experience, technical strength and good reputation to modify them, and use and maintain them in strict accordance with relevant safety regulations and operating requirements. Considering this important demand, JAC Ruifeng, as an MPV expert, upgraded the Ruifeng M3 CNG model from the original factory, and cooperated with Ruifeng M4 CNG model to create a "CNG MPV Gemini" combination to give entrepreneurs a more reliable choice of CNG models.

As an original CNG vehicle, Ruifeng M3 CNG has abundant power. The new car is equipped with a 1.8L dual-fuel special engine, which not only fully meets the multi-functional purposes of users to carry goods and pick up people, but also has a comprehensive cruising range of 450 kilometers and a maximum speed of 140km/h, which can better balance power and economy. Ruifeng M3 CNG not only has no discount on power, but also saves more on car cost compared with ordinary fuel vehicles. It is the best choice for entrepreneurs to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Specifically, if only natural gas is used, the energy consumption of Ruifeng M3 CNG is 8.5 m/100 km, and the gas consumption per kilometer is only 0.28 yuan, which is only one-third of the MPV cost of gasoline at the same level. If you save it, you will earn it!

Of course, the most basic large space of an MPV is an important advantage to increase income, and Ruifeng M3 CNG will naturally not ignore it. The dimensions of the new car are 5145mm*1765mm*1900mm, the wheelbase is as long as 3110mm, the luggage volume is as high as 1750L, and users can choose from 7/8/9 seats. At the same time, it also has a flexible seat combination. The middle row can be equipped with independent seats, three rows can be changed to hang on the side, and nine rows can support independent adjustment. No matter whether it is manned or loaded, it is a good hand, and the space practicality and flexibility are greatly improved.

Under the background of the continuous promotion of the dual-carbon policy, the combination of "CNG MPV Gemini" composed of Ruifeng M4 CNG and Ruifeng M3 CNG perfectly combines the remarkable advantages of CNG products, which is not only more environmentally friendly, but also lower in cost, and is a high-quality choice for reducing costs and increasing efficiency in entrepreneurial scenarios.

Biden is going to fight the American tiger.

Getting bigger, but not getting better.

"absolute monarch" American technology giants, finally let Biden watch not bottom go to.

Recently, US President Biden signed an executive order, calling on federal government agencies to adopt policies to counter the actions that may stifle competition, lead to price increases, restrict consumers’ choices, reduce mergers and acquisitions, and crack down on monopoly giants in various industries.

The technology industry will bear the brunt of the impact. Previously, more than 30 states had launched anti-monopoly lawsuits against large American technology companies such as Amazon, Google, Apple and Facebook.

This article will focus on the following three issues:

1. What does Biden’s executive order and the new anti-monopoly bill mean to American technology giants?

2. Why are the top technology companies that once made Americans proud regarded as the chief culprit of the US economic recession?

3. Why has the government’s anti-monopoly against technology and Internet companies become a global trend?

one

Heavy-handed antitrust

The executive order signed by Biden this time puts forward guidance and restrictive measures for anti-competitive practices in science and technology, medical care and other fields. At the same time, it aims to increase workers’ income and provide protection for consumers. It involves 12 government departments and contains 72 specific administrative instructions.

▲ Biden signed an executive order.

Specifically, there are a lot of contents in the executive order pointing to the American technology giants.

M&A has become the focus of the U.S. government’s supervision in the science and technology industry, and technology giants will be subject to stricter restrictions when acquiring other small enterprises, especially those emerging competitors;

Introduce new restrictions for online monitoring, user data, etc.

Encourage the Federal Trade Commission to establish rules to prevent Internet companies from using unfair competition methods;

Encourage the FTC to prohibit consumer electronics manufacturers from excluding third-party maintenance policies.

Some media pointed out that Biden’s administrative instructions were specific to each executive department, and even included details about how to review transactions and competition activities, compared with previous governments that left tasks to various departments.

The determination is great and the plan is concrete, which is the most in recent years.

The unfair market environment brought by the monopoly of American technology giants has also led to the lack of innovation in the United States. Coupled with the rising price level and the falling wage level, American consumers and workers have become the payers of the carefree life of technology giants.

If Biden’s executive order can be successfully implemented within a few months, it will undoubtedly bring great pain to a number of large American technology companies.

The splitting of core business and departments, the reduction of product functions, the rejection of mergers and acquisitions, and the strict restrictions on data collection are all big troubles that technology giants will probably face.

The U.S. government, which has always held high the anti-monopoly issue for its own technology enterprises, is finally going to be serious.

2

Cunning tycoons

American technology companies are best at labeling themselves as innovative, free, transparent and shared, but in fact they are well versed in the way of "store bullying customers".

The unbearable White House, the new policy introduced this time, completely exposes how American technology giants put their own interests above consumers, and how they rely on their deep pockets to let small companies choose between death and annexation.

Just GAFA(Google Amazon Facebook Apple) can list countless examples.

▲ In July 2020, the CEOs of the four major American technology giants attended the antitrust hearing with the same screen.

Facebook maintains its market position by preventive acquisition. If you can’t buy it, copy it.

There is a special early warning intelligence department within Facebook, which mainly focuses on small start-ups that are innovating and developing products that may pose a threat to Facebook in the market. Once these companies become small, Facebook will immediately buy them. The acquisition will not achieve plagiarism and imitation, and then use its own number of users to crush each other. In short, it is necessary to absorb competitors or squeeze out the market.

Within the company, there is even a widely circulated philosophy: don’t bother to copy because of your pride.

Instagram was founded in 2011, and Facebook bought it for $1 billion in 2012. In 2014, Facebook spent $19 billion to buy WhatsApp, the largest instant messaging software in the world at that time.

Once those opponents were acquired and handed over users, markets and data, Zuckerberg stopped paying attention to them, but continued to put Facebook at the core of the product matrix, and even continued to let Facebook copy the algorithms and functions in various applications.

Amazon pretends to be a trading platform that provides matching services, but chooses to trade at the end and treat itself with peace of mind.

As an e-commerce platform, Amazon can obtain commercially sensitive information such as goods and transactions of third-party merchants. It "forces" consumers’ data from merchants, and makes customers’ preferences clear. These data analysis are not used to improve the experience of both parties to the transaction, but are used by Amazon to sell its own goods.

What other people sell well, Amazon will produce and put on the shelves, and let the self-operated goods occupy the recommendation position, pushing the competitive goods aside. The dual identity of platform and trader gives Amazon the opportunity to use its own data advantages to damage the fair market environment.

Both merchants and consumers finally find that the result of their selling and buying is nothing more than a wedding dress for Amazon’s stock price soaring.

Google "rightfully" engages in the overlord clause.

The Android system made by Google has taken the lead in the global mobile phone system market share. As a result, Google "justifiably" makes global mobile phones tied to its own ecology. Chrome is pre-installed in the browser, Gmail is pre-installed in the mailbox, YouTube is the video software, and Google Maps is pre-installed in the map … No matter which country’s brand wants to use Android on the mobile phone, it must first bind the Google three-piece suit.

So far, there is only one country in the world where users can avoid the Google three-piece bundle, and that is China.

As long as the mobile phones sold in Chinese mainland are based on domestic manufacturers’ systems such as emui and miui, or foreign brands such as Samsung and LG equipped with Android, there is no need to pre-install Google. The appearance of Huawei’s self-developed HarmonyOS system makes Google’s idea of bundling even more difficult.

When Apple sells products, it wants to make money for maintenance.

Apple, which does not recognize third-party maintenance, does not support self-disassembly, and does not guarantee without spending much money, can achieve "one fish and three meals" on a piece of equipment-selling machines to earn a sum of money, repairing machines to earn a sum of money, and preventing machines from repairing to earn another sum of money.

In order to get official certification, consumers have to pay several times the price of roadside maintenance booths to get their equipment back.

Monopoly brings unparalleled market power and makes American technology giants "lawless". America’s innovation ability is being eroded by mergers and acquisitions, shanzhai, plagiarism and overlord clauses of these big companies, and the people have to pay for all these consequences.

"Capitalism without competition is not capitalism, but exploitation." This is Biden’s evaluation of monopoly enterprises.

▲ Biden tweeted: "I make it clear that capitalism without competition is not capitalism, but exploitation."

In the face of administrative orders and the latest anti-monopoly law, technology giants will not give in easily.

As soon as the bill came out, executives, lobbyists and propaganda groups of technology giants came to Congress and departments’ offices, found every relevant member of parliament, bombed mailboxes and telephones, and played up the terrible consequences of these laws.

"Anti-monopoly law should promote competition and protect consumers, not punish successful American companies." I don’t know if they can believe this kind of wandering speech …

three

Global wave

With the improvement of the epidemic situation, governments around the world have gradually shifted their attention to the economic field. Coincidentally, whether in the United States, China or the European Union, the government has put the anti-monopoly against technology giants in a prominent position, and it has taken unprecedented measures quickly and severely.

It has become a global wave to crack down on large-scale technology groups over the interests of consumers.

What is the logic behind this?

First, the characteristics of the technology industry itself make the consequences of monopoly more harmful to society.

Technology and network companies are not only selling a commodity, but also grabbing attention and creating a system ecology. The resources mastered by the technology giants can constantly March into other fields. An Internet-born enterprise can do news and software, as well as sell cars and engage in finance.

The traffic and users they get in the field of science and technology can be completely migrated to another field in this era. Then the monopoly in science and technology means that these giants may realize cross-market and cross-field monopoly in the future, and then the monopoly in the whole market and all fields.

▲ All-encompassing Google product matrix

When the user’s attention and all the users’ ecology are pinned on a few products, in fact, the individual has become a tool person at the mercy of capital.

The market loses competition, consumers lose choice, and large companies can complete the harvest without effort. So how can the government and individuals expect the market to be dynamic?

Second, the window of global technology upgrading has arrived, and all countries need to complete enterprise adjustment to adapt to the next stage of international competition. No matter whether a country’s technological development is mature or not, the anti-monopoly efforts against technology giants at the national level will only become stronger and stronger.

At this stage, 5G technology is gradually maturing, and the world is moving from the era of mobile internet to a new era of Internet of Things. The government should not only ensure that the domestic market is free from exploitation by foreign enterprises, but also fully stimulate the vitality of the market at key time nodes, so that those innovative enterprises that should take off in the next era will not be strangled in the cradle by giants.

At the same time, moderately beating the giants with the best resources, the strongest ability and the strongest financial resources is also to guide them to re-focus on technological research and innovation. Let them do something more "difficult", instead of letting consumers have no choice but to pay for some unskilled bullying behavior.

From this perspective, governments all over the world, including China and the United States, stand at the same starting point in science and technology antitrust.

The difference is that, compared with us, Biden has to use a much more complicated means to confront more and more cunning scientific and technological "elites" who have no fear of the government.

Good luck to him …

Summer drama list! Luhan Yang Chaoyue Bai Yu Pan Yueming Li Qin calls you to come and see


1905 movie network feature This summer, the new drama is out of the ordinary!


Recently, major platforms have successively exposed new drama lists and homemade theater information. We found that in the days to come, Pan Yueming, Luhan, Yang Chaoyue, Bai Yu, Li QinAnd so many actors will meet you all!


Suspense, costume, youth, realism drama, a variety of genres bloom.


Xiao Dianjun collects and recommends it to everyone, Aribati, the new summer drama is ready to look!


Suspense reasoning: mostly adapted for high-scoring novels


In the latest series of suspense dramas, most of them are currently popular boutique skits.

Fast-paced and compact storylines are the hallmarks of this type of drama. The domestic skits "I Am Yu Huanshui" and "Longling Maze" that tested the waters on the Internet earlier have achieved good ratings.

At present, two works and "Missing Persons" have been launched. The former stars Zhu Yawen and Jin Chen, while the latter has some production staff from Noon Sunshine. Both works have received a lot of praise in Douban.

"The Silent Truth"

Director: Yifu Chan

Starring:Liao Fan/White Yu/Tan Zhuo

Number of episodes: 12

The play is adapted from Zijin Chen’s mystery novel "The Long Night is Difficult". The novel scored 8.5 points on Douban, and the original author also participated in the screenwriting work.

In addition, the names of Liao Fan, Bai Yu, and Tan Zhuo are listed in the starring lineup, indicating that at least the script is not bad.

The only thing that is more worrying is that the director Chen Yifu is a new director, and no mature feature films have been released before. Can he control the plot and rhythm so that the actors can shine under his camera?

There’s no escape.

Director:five hundred

Starring:Wang Qianyuan/Luhan

Number of episodes: 12

Many viewers have been anticipating this drama for a long time!

The 500 director who directed the phenomenon-level online drama "Psychological Crime" believes that he has a strong ability to control the content as always, and Wang Qianyuan is also a acting school recognized by both industry insiders and audiences.

Another star, Lu Han, who debuted as an idol, has been repeatedly questioned about his acting skills, but this time, he came with "Doom", hoping to come with confidence!

"The Man in the Bureau"

Director: Liu Yu

Starring:Zhang Yishan/Pan Yueming

Number of episodes: 49

Since the "White Night Hunt" and "Ghost Blows the Light" series met with the audience, Pan Yueming ushered in his "middle-aged red".

Nowadays, he is constantly making film appointments, and the drama that can make Pan Yueming star is believed to be his choice after careful selection.

Another star, Zhang Yishan, has a similar acting career to Pan Yueming, both of whom became famous at a young age and then became famous through online dramas.

This time, the two actors jointly starred in "The Man in the Bureau", and some netizens joked: "I didn’t wait for" White Night Chasing 2 "and" Remaining Sins 3 ", but the two of them starred in a new drama together. I don’t think it’s okay!

Director:Chen Zhengdao/Xu Zhaoren/Wu Zhongtian

Starring:Yang Ying/Yang Zishan/Guo Tao

Number of episodes: 16

"Skyscraper" is adapted from the mystery novel of the same name.

Afterwards, I believe the audience is also looking forward to the suspense drama directed by Chen Zhengdao.

The original text of "Skyscraper" is more oppressive, showing the group portraits of marginal characters surviving and wandering. Many complex aspects of human nature are revealed, and it is unknown what kind of film and television effect will be presented in the end.

Contemporary urban: most romantic dramas

Contemporary urban drama is the film and television drama that is closest to the lives of ordinary people.

Compared with other genres, it is easy to shoot, but it is difficult to break through. In recent years, there are also some contemporary urban dramas that have become popular, such as "Ode to Joy", "Everything is Good" and "Settling Home". What they have in common is that they are realistic, down-to-earth, and reflect social phenomena.

"Blame You for Being Too Beautiful"

Director: Wang Zhi

Starring:Qin Lan/Gao Yixiang/Prince

Number of episodes: 36

Industry dramas are not uncommon in recent years, but not many really score high. Most of them have problems such as "lack of professionalism" and "serious routines". If they can tear off the "fake language cloak", be truly professional, and project it into the workplace and life of ordinary people, they can make the audience feel the same.

"Blame you for being too beautiful" is about to be released, but it is hard to hide the sigh. This is the last work that Gao Yixiang shot before his death. Now, it has become an eternal memorial.


Gao Yixiang

"Midsummer Full of Hearts"

Director: Zhang Lichuan

Starring: Yang Chaoyue/Xu Weizhou

Number of episodes: 24

"Midsummer Full of Hearts" is adapted from the classic TV series "Full of Romance".

The drama has a classic story core, which is "Cinderella and the Prince". Yang Chaoyue, who used the phrase "the hope of our whole village" in the circle, actually matched the character image of "Cinderella".

However, with "Full House of Romance" beads and jade in front, "Full Heart of Midsummer" still poses no small challenge.

"I like you so much."

Director: Lin Ziping

Starring:Yan Chengxu/Shen Yue

Number of episodes: 34

The new and old "Meteor Garden" male and female protagonists gather in the same drama, which is a big benefit for "meteor fans".

But looking at the story and characters, it is difficult to see the new ideas in the play, and it is still following the line of "unlucky ghost female protagonist" and "domineering president male protagonist".


However, whether the drama can truly achieve a breakthrough, and whether there are any surprises in the details, can only be judged after it is launched.

"Heartbeat Project

Director: Liu Yizhi/Han Dong

Starring:Song Qian/Luo Yunxi

Number of episodes: 48

On Douban, the genre is labeled "love" and "adventure," which are actually rare in contemporary urban themes.

The character played by the male protagonist Luo Yunxi is a broker who wants to steal the heroine’s scientific research results under the guise of a romantic encounter.

For directors and screenwriters, such a genre and subject matter are highly professional, which is bound to be more difficult to control than ordinary urban romance dramas. However, if done well, it may be the next hit.

"You are my destiny."

Director:Zhou Xiaopeng

Starring: Xing Zhaolin/Liang Jie/Fu Jing

Number of episodes: 36

The male and female protagonists are the "candid" CP who used to sprinkle sugar in the "Double Concubine", and this time they play a couple again; the female number two is Fu Jing in the Rocket Girl 101; at the same time, the powerful actors Liu Xuehua and Liu Lin have also joined the drama.

This is a typical traffic star + old drama model, and how to innovate in the model is what we are looking forward to seeing.

"If you love me, don’t think too much."

Director: Cao Huisheng/Han Jie

Starring:Chen Jianbin/Li Yitong/Pan Yueming

Number of episodes: 40

Seeing this lineup, many viewers expressed shock, "The difference is 20 years, will there be a sense of CP?"

Although there are doubts, it is undeniable that whether it is a movie or a TV series, there are many excellent works of "young and old", such as.


Chen Jianbin and Li Yitong

In the past, Chen Jianbin often gave the audience the impression of playing monarchs and heroes. This time, how will he perform in the "young and old" romance drama? I believe this is also what the audience is looking forward to.

Realism: Low-yield but high-quality

In recent years, realist dramas are popular, but not productive. They always use a sophisticated production team, and they are often high-quality as soon as they come out.

From "The Mekong Case", "In the Name of the People" to "Operation Ice Breaking", these realistic dramas all carry lofty ideals, reflect the contemporary era, and express the people’s best wishes for society and the country.

"National Action"

Director:Gao Qunshu/Chang Meng

Starring:Huang Zhizhong/Zhang Yi

Number of episodes: 38

The drama takes the case of Liu Han in Sichuan as the story prototype and tells the stories of heroic models and typical cases that have emerged in the anti-corruption struggle.

As early as 2016, in the work plan announced on the official website of CCTV, it was clearly mentioned that "National Action" is a customized drama created by CCTV, which integrates genre elements such as "Black and White" and "Infernal Affairs" to vividly reproduce the heroic stories in the fight against corruption.

"The World of the Great Qin Empire"

Director: Yan Yi/Gu Qiming/Qianglong/Liu Yongtao

Starring:Zhang Luyi/Duan Yihong/Li Naiwen

Number of episodes: 80

The first director of the play is Yan Yi, who is the director of CCTV and China Television Drama Production Center. He has won the first prize of the long-form TV drama Feitian Award and the Golden Eagle Award for Best Art. He has rich experience in filming major dramas and historical dramas.

And these leading actors are also famous actors. Each of them has withstood the test of the times and storms and has become one of the most powerful actors in the contemporary era.

Ancient clothing love category: each has its own point of view

There was the "Immortal Sword" series before, and then the "Three Lives and Three Worlds" series. This genre seemed to have no shortage of hits, and the recently popular "Rumor of Chen Qianqian" also belonged to this genre.

Costume dramas can capture "fantasies" that modern people cannot achieve, and can also create contrasts and create visual wonders on the screen.

It can be said that this type of drama contains a lot of imaginative possibilities.

"His Royal Highness the Wolf"

Director:Meng Fan

Starring:Wang Continental/Li Qin/Xin Zhilei

Number of episodes: 58


"His Royal Highness Wolf" is written and produced by Chen Yushan, the ace producer of Taiwanese idol dramas. It is conceivable that there must be sweet love scenes in it. However, at the moment when the sweet pet drama is "favored", it may be in the audience’s favor.

 

The play tells the story of a child who grew up in a wolf pack and met the group owner, and the two fought for their destiny in revenge and crisis.

 

Presumably, the "Wolf Pack Play" and how the actors perform the "Wolf Nature" are the tests and highlights of the play.

"The Children of the Tang Dynasty"

Director: Li Huizhu

Starring: Li Yitong/Xu Kai

Number of episodes: 69

Yu Zheng, the artistic director of "The Children of the Tang Dynasty", an ancient light comedy created by Happy Entertainment Film and Television, said that this is a romantic romantic comedy story with no villains in the whole play, and it is light-hearted and humorous without distortion.

The story setting is indeed pleasing, and the collocation of Li Yitong and Xu Kai’s beautiful woman and handsome man is also very in line with the aesthetics of the current audience.

It is reported that the crew has also made their own requirements for high-quality production. Will this be the next hit?

"Splendid Southern Song"

Director: Li Huizhu

Starring: Li Qin/Qin Hao

Number of episodes: 63

I still remember that year let Luo Jin, Tang Yan because of the play "Splendid Weiyang", after many years, its sequel has come.

"Splendid Southern Song" was created by the original people behind "Splendid Weiyang". Qin Hao plays the emperor Liu Yikang, who is determined to implement the new policy in order to change the current situation, while Li Qin is the woman behind the emperor, Shen Lige, who has always supported him in promoting the common people and touching the interests of the noble people.

From the number of episodes, it can be inferred that this is also an epic drama.


Judging from this film list, the number of suspense dramas on various platforms has increased, and the script is generally valued. In the cooperation, there are also many old drama bones paired with new directors. On the one hand, it reflects the strong momentum of young directors, while the opposite is the "fault" problem of young acting schools.

This problem also appears in contemporary urban drama, in addition to drama is difficult to break through, but also rarely see the emergence of new acting school.

The realist drama has always been a rare high-quality theme, whether it is the script or the actors, it must be repeatedly refined to stand the test of the audience and time.

Although several dramas of ancient love have their own highlights, whether they can become popular depends on how effective the final drama is broadcast.

But regardless of category, high-quality creation is an essential element for creating popular dramas. I hope domestic dramas will deepen their content, create exquisite creations, and bloom with a hundred flowers, getting better and better!


Autonavi Map Yu Yongfu: The end of aggregation must be integrated travel services

Beijing News Shell Financial News (Reporter Chen Weicheng) On February 21, at the seminar on "Integration of scientific and technological innovation and reality to help build a transportation power", Yu Yongfu, chairperson of Autonavi Group, said that the integrated travel service platform is Autonavi’s No. 1 project in 2023, and the end result of aggregation must be integrated travel services.
Autonavi Map builds an integrated travel service platform in an aggregated model, and currently has access to a full range of urban travel and intercity travel services, including urban travel services such as public transportation, subway, taxi, online car-hailing, walking, and motorcycles, trains, passenger transportation, airplanes, and other intercity travel services, as well as supporting services such as charging and refueling.
Among them, Autonavi cooperates with the taxi industry in more than 100 cities to help the taxi patrol network integrate and receive orders online; the cooperative gas stations exceed 30,000, covering 340 cities across the country, and also cooperates with the State Grid, special calls, etc. The number of online charging stations exceeds 110,000, achieving national coverage.
Yu Yongfu, chairperson of Autonavi Group, said that the integrated travel service platform is Autonavi’s No. 1 project in 2023. Autonavi will adhere to the aggregation model, open up map navigation, technical services, platform traffic and other capabilities, and create a new combination with "old masters" who are deeply involved in the transportation industry to build an integrated travel service platform.
Yu Yongfu believes that there are three ways to integrate data and reality in the transportation industry: new travel forces use new skills and become new masters; old masters invest a long time in self-learning new skills; the third is that old masters cooperate with enterprises with digital technology to quickly master new skills and form new combinations.
"A better choice for the integration of numbers and reality may be the third way. The old master partners with a new skill partner, and the road to the integration of numbers and reality can go faster and farther." Yu Yongfu said.

[Discover the beauty of spring] Take the "Spring Train" to enjoy flowers in spring.

Yongzhou, China, March 18 (Reporter Yang Qing, intern, He Yuting, correspondent Liu Wenbin) In the spring of March, hundreds of flowers were in full bloom, walking on the three blue lands, and golden canola flowers and pink peach blossoms were blooming, drawing a picturesque pastoral picture.

In Huaguo Village, Tafeng Town, Lanshan County, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province, the endless rape blossoms, with a brilliant golden color in an unobstructed view, complement each other with distant mountains and villages, forming a picture of beautiful countryside full of spring. The beauty of the Blue Mountains is not limited to rape blossoms, but also peach blossoms in full bloom. In Dadong Paradise, Dadong Village, pink peach blossoms, like smiling faces raised by spring girls, seem to tell the beauty and vitality of spring.

Take advantage of the spring breeze at this moment, it is better to make an appointment with friends and relatives and take the "Spring Train" to go to the Blue Mountain to enjoy the flowers in the spring.

"Clear powder" trap! The software related to the viral spread of this service has great risks.

       CCTV News:Wechat has become the main contact method for many people. On many occasions, people have changed from leaving a phone number to adding friends. The WeChat address book is getting longer and longer, but some people in it rarely contact each other, so a service called "WeChat cleaning powder" came into being. I believe many people have received and seen this information, and even used this service. What you don’t know, however, is that this method may threaten your information security.

       Nianheng is a medical worker. One day in September this year, he suddenly received a WeChat message that surprised him.

       Nianheng: "After I opened it, I found that it was a teacher who had not contacted for a while. She sent a WeChat circle of friends, saying that she had recently used a WeChat powder cleaning service, which was very useful. There was a link at the bottom. I was also very surprised when I saw this news at that time, because I was under the impression that teachers generally did not send such news. "

one

       Nianheng sent a WeChat to the teacher to ask what happened. The other party replied that she saw a QR code of powder cleaning in a WeChat group. Considering the large number of friends in her WeChat, she really wanted to clean up her friends, so she tried.

one

       Nianheng: "At that time, after (the teacher) recognized the QR code, she sent some messages to the circle of friends without her knowing it, and also spread these messages to the group, which brought her a lot of trouble. I didn’t do anything else that afternoon, and I have been explaining that I was cheated. It was automatically sent after scanning the QR code. "

one

       During the interview, many WeChat users reported that they had received the WeChat clear powder link or QR code sent by their friends. These WeChat "clear powder" links will not only automatically send advertisements in the circle of friends, but also steal the user’s personal account information to sell for profit. Netizen Ms. Huang reflected on the consumer complaint platform "Gathering Complaints" that after using the "Clear Powder" service in May this year, she quickly discovered that there was a transaction on WeChat that she did not know, and the other party was an online game. Then she found that in this online game that she had never been exposed to, she actually had her own real-name registered account.

       Wechat "cleaning powder" is actually a big risk in controlling account security.

       So how does this so-called "cleaning powder" service operate, and what information security risks will it bring to users?

       Experts said that the principle of "cleaning powder" is to control the WeChat account to be cleaned by applying cluster control software, so that the account can automatically send messages to all its friends, and then the group control software can identify which ones are "zombie fans" and delete them according to "whether the information can be successfully sent and received". Whether it is mass messaging or group soliciting, users need to scan the QR code to authorize the provider of cleaning service to log in to the web version of WeChat. And behind this, there are huge risks.

one

       Hu Qimu, a senior researcher at the Digital Economy Think Tank: "The first one is that you authorized him, which is equivalent to him taking over your account, so that he can retrieve your personal information, including WeChat address book, chat record, and your mobile phone’s address book, chat materials, address book and some of your information, which may be leaked; Second, by taking possession of one of your accounts, he will register some other accounts to do something. If these things are illegal, it will have an impact on your personal credit information; Third, he may send some information such as fraud through your account. "

       The first case of "cleaning powder" in China was solved. Experts reminded that scanning code must be cautious.

       Recently, the Public Security Bureau of Nantong City, Jiangsu Province disclosed that they successfully detected a case of illegally obtaining computer information system data by using WeChat "cleaning powder" software in the "Clean Net 2020" special action, and all five suspects involved in the case were arrested, which is also the first case in China that illegally obtained information by using "cleaning powder" software.

       In the detection of the case, the police of the Netan detachment of Nantong Public Security Bureau in Jiangsu Province found that the illegally obtained user information around the "powder cleaning" software has formed a black industrial chain of illegal reselling.

       Cao Canhua, a policeman of Tongzhou District Public Security Bureau, Nantong City, Jiangsu Province: "After obtaining the control authority of WeChat account, the criminal suspect took the opportunity to illegally obtain the QR code information of users’ WeChat group chat, and saved these QR codes in the form of pictures on the server."

       Subsequently, the criminal suspect resold the user’s WeChat group chat QR code and other information to downstream criminal gangs such as fraud and gambling. In just three months, the criminal gang illegally obtained more than 20 million QR codes of users’ WeChat group chats, all of which were sold to fraud and gambling criminal gangs in Longyan, Fujian and other places. At the same time, it also paid attention to WeChat WeChat official account in batches, brushed reading and praised others, and made profits of more than 2 million yuan.

one

       Xu Hui, deputy head of the Netan Brigade of Tongzhou District Public Security Bureau, Nantong City, Jiangsu Province: "From illegally obtaining the relevant personal information of WeChat users to downstream advertising, marketing and other cyber crimes, the related network black ash production has formed an independent and closely coordinated industrial chain."

       At present, five suspects involved in the case have been arrested on suspicion of illegally obtaining computer information system data, and the case is being further processed. Lawyers said that "concealment, cross-regionality, and difficulty in fixing evidence materials" are the difficulties in rectifying such chaos, and these characteristics also increase the difficulty of users’ rights protection.

       Bo Meng, a lawyer of Beijing Jingshi Law Firm, said that based on the huge potential risks of "cleaning powder" software, it is not recommended to use such "services" to raise awareness of prevention and protect personal information; Don’t easily click on links and QR codes from unknown sources; When transferring money abroad, check it in advance.

       We also call on software developers to take more active supervision responsibilities and find ways to block such behaviors from the source to avoid users suffering losses.
