Another king fried product is coming in the world.

I advised you before that M7 was too ugly and M9 was too expensive.

 

Such as asking M8, this is not coming?

Just now, the truth of M8 real car was exposed.

 

I took a closer look, and this is the most beautiful boundary in my heart.

From the side face value, it is much stronger than M7.

It’s also better than my boss’s 600,000, and the rushing M9 is much younger.

Crucially, M8 now uses the same original platform as M9.

It’s definitely not M7′ s oriental scenery.

Now Cyrus has confirmed that M8 uses the Rubik’s Cube platform.

Don’t underestimate this Rubik’s cube platform, it can build plug-in hybrid cars, extended-range cars and pure trams.

With this platform, you can get a new car just like going to jiaozi.

M9 is built on the Turing platform upgraded on the Rubik’s Cube platform.

And as you can see from spy photos,

M8 and M9 use the same headlights and taillights.

 

I made some inquiries, and it is very likely that M8 will be listed in December this year.

It was also the year when M9 went on the market, and it was the time to launch a new car.

If you ask me, the price of M8 will definitely be between M7 and M9.

You must agree with this,

That is, the range of 340,000 to 440,000. The configuration is actually very easy to guess.

The M8 low match will be in line with the M7 top match,

The M8 high match is the same as the M9 low match.

On the whole, the length of M8 will reach about 5 meters, with triple screen.

 

Adopting the extended range+pure electric dual power mode,

The extended-range version will be equipped with a 1.5T engine and a dual-motor 330kw power combination.

Intelligent driving, equipped with lidar, equipped with Huawei ADS3.0 advanced intelligent driving,

In terms of mechanical quality, the low gear will be equipped with a variable suspension, which can adjust the hardness.

The high gear may be equipped with air suspension, which can adjust the height.

As for laser projection and zero-gravity seats, it is estimated that they will also be optional.

Seeing this, those who are ready to buy M9 can wait,

After all, the configuration is not bad and the face value is good. The key is to save about 100,000 yuan.

If we really have these configurations, my boss spent 600,000 yuan on the M9 top in March.

It is estimated that he will have to break through the defense. The configuration and price of M8 will save him at least 200,000 yuan.

Should we wait for the party to be blessed?

Buy a car. Listen to me. Don’t be a sucker.

Exit the Spring Festival file and change it to 3.30! What’s good about Viva La Vida?


Special feature of 1905 film network On the evening of February 14th, Lianrui Film announced that due to a major mistake in the schedule selection, its main film withdrew from the highly competitive Spring Festival file and was postponed to March 30th this year. February 15th was the last day for the film to meet the audience during the Spring Festival.


Viva La Vida tells the story of two seriously ill young people, Lu Tu and Ling Min, who finally see the sunshine of life because of relay for life. The film was warm and cured, and gained a good audience reputation. Douban scored 7.9, but at present, the box office is less than 100 million yuan, and the market performance is far below expectations. Here we also hope that good movies can be seen by more people.


In this special program of Spring Festival "Spring Festival Movies Booming", the director of Viva La Vida leads the leading role and walks into Blue Feather Living Room, which is the final chapter of Han Yan’s trilogy of life and is full of moving and healing power. In the interview, the main creator revealed the behind-the-scenes of the film for us.


Lan Yu: Just now we have been cycling the song "Shake the Sun" in a single.


Han Yan: Yes, I heard it when I was a child. "Don’t miss a good time", isn’t that the theme of our movie? I decided to use the name of this song as the title of the film.


Lan Yu: You two have been singing just now. Who sings better?


Peng Yuchang: She sings well. The emotional part must be that she sings well.


Li Gengxi: On the aspect of all five tones, it has to be him.



Lan Yu: How did the director first think of letting them play this movie?


Han Yan: At that time, the script was not completely finished, and I didn’t think in my mind who would play these roles. At that time, after meeting them, the role seemed to be more concrete in my mind. For example, Geng Xi looks very thin and small, but when chatting with her, I can feel that there are many special things in my heart, which is very similar to the role of Ling Min. What about Pumbaa? You see, he is always sincere and innocent, and so is his performance.


Lan Yu: Did you observe his innocent face?


Xu Fan: He is innocent. I think my son just wants to wake him up.


Lan Yu: Today we are about to usher in Pumbaa’s "social death" moment. Because Pumbaa actually performed in a variety show six years ago.



Peng Yuchang: I’m really sweating.


Han Yan: Very sincere and innocent.


Lan Yu: What kind of impression did you have on director Han Yan’s works at that time?


Peng Yuchang: Worship.


Han Yan: It’s so hypocritical. I just said that he is sincere.


Peng Yuchang: Worship, really, really.


Li Gengxi: I think he was very pure at that time. Now, after all, people are almost thirty, and there will still be one thing, that is, a sense of vicissitudes and a sense of story.



Lan Yu: I heard that the director said before taking this play that he could not take other plays for six months. Did he make such a request?


Han Yan: Right. Because I want them to spend as much time as possible immersed in the role to be played, I don’t trust that you can get into this role instantly by pulling away from the role in another play.


Li Gengxi: At that time, it happened that I hadn’t filmed for half a year. I was completely in the state of my own life, and then I could devote myself to this play. I have been with the role every day for five months, and this experience will be a very precious experience in my career.


Lan Yu: So this time you two should walk into different lives. What lessons did you do, Geng Xi?


Li Gengxi: Basically, I experienced the local life in Changsha. Later, we went to the hospital, visited those patients, talked with them and learned about their lives. The most striking thing is that it is too real, such as someone’s eyes, or a patient showed me a fistula in his arm.



Lan Yu: Geng Xi has many details in the movie, for example, she eats lemons. Does this detail come from these real patients?


Han Yan: I have observed that some patients’ daily life, such as eating lemons, including how they control salt, potassium and water, including some normal things, will be concentrated on Ling Min.


Lan Yu: Is it cool for Geng Xi to eat citric acid every day?


Li Gengxi: My teeth will be very astringent, and my mouth will be drooling all the time. My lips may be pickled and broken a little, and it will be very sour if I eat it again.



Lan Yu: What about Pumbaa?


Peng Yuchang: The patients we met were different. I think even before, you were afraid to touch life and life and death, but after talking to them, they gave me an optimistic, positive and sunny attitude, which made me ashamed. On the contrary, I am still a more sensitive person who may be afraid of this.


Lan Yu: This is what the film wants to present. It was a very interesting scene when you two met. Was it entirely the director’s design?


Han Yan: Right. Lu tu, like a stone, knocked the quiet lake out of the waves. A meeting changed Ling Min’s life and the direction of our movies, so I hope that meeting is interesting.


Lan Yu: What’s the code word?


Han Yan: "Ollie gives". This code word … Let me guess that Lu Tu is a state in which his life is always half a beat slower than this era. Maybe many people think that the slogan "Ollie gives" is out of date now, but I think it may be the exciting period for Lu Tu.


Peng Yuchang: "For Ollie", it took four days.



Lan Yu: Another scene is your confession on the rooftop. At that time, how did you understand Lu Tu’s courageous confession?


Peng Yuchang: They are like complementary souls, and they have feelings there. Let’s send out the most sincere ones.


Lan Yu: How did Geng Xi feel when he heard Pumbaa say that?


Li Gengxi: I will feel that this is the first time he has said something different from his usual. That feeling is quite complicated. There are new feelings about him, new feelings about himself, and the past and future of two people.


Lan Yu: I feel that I have more love in this world, and there is someone who really loves you.


Li Gengxi: Maybe love was not enough at that time, but I felt as if I had found a bosom friend.


Lan Yu: That’s very good. The director nodded frequently just now, and I feel that Geng Xi’s understanding of this character is actually very thorough.


Han Yan: Yes, because I think that feeling she just said, I’ve been thinking. For example, many people ask me why I always make such movies related to the theme of life. The birth of mankind itself is a great miracle. The chance of our parents meeting and combining and giving birth to us is one in four hundred trillion. These two people can still meet in this situation. In our play, it means that this is one in three hundred million. Therefore, the meeting of the two of them that night and the unpretentious dialogue, in my opinion, are quite moving feelings.



Peng Yuchang: In the wedding scene, the director really didn’t ask us so much, but let us finally follow our feelings.


Han Yan: It’s also the last scene. They have gone through all the processes of the whole movie.


Peng Yuchang: I just watched everyone, my mother and the teacher. When everyone was down there, I saw the director sitting at a table, as if I had accompanied Lu Tu and Ling Min through this journey in recent months. Tears welled up in my eyes, and I felt moved by that moment.


Han Yan: I said one thing that they didn’t know, that is, I hesitated all the time in the process of making this film. In the end, did he get married bald or grew a little hair? After his first haircut, I saw him show that scar. At that moment, I felt that I should show this scar to get married. We also gave Ling Min a close-up, and she didn’t wear cuff again. Those scars are a medal for them to overcome life, get rid of life’s predicament or get out of trouble.



Lan Yu: Pumbaa has a lot of courage. He dares to completely shave his head in this scene. But when I saw the real shave, Pumbaa still had some fluctuations in his heart. Geng Xi comforted him with special jokes, saying that you were more handsome after shaving, right?


Han Yan: It’s not a joke, it’s true.


Peng Yuchang: Actually, I’m a little scared. I’m really scared, but I think later, in fact, I’m right to be scared. Because Lu Tu said the second time, I don’t want to go into the operating room again. I don’t want to experience this life again. That fear is really the fear of facing hardships. Facing this life, the fear of this disease is right.



Lan Yu: They are really trying very hard to get close to this role and find their true feelings. Mr. Xu Fan, when you were working with them on the set, could you feel the seriousness and persistence of young actors in their performance?


Xu Fan: Yes, because I think they just tried their best to be immersed in the role. This is meaningful. I remember that when we filmed the scene of cooking, Pumbaa was very real. He was full and ate a lot after just one shot.


Peng Yuchang: I’ve been eating.


Xu Fan: But when the director said to do it again, he said to do it again? If I had known, I would have eaten less. At the beginning, he devoted himself to this role, so when I saw them both, I felt very vivid. These two children were so interesting, but they went to do theirs and I did mine. This is called separation between the old and the young.



Lan Yu: This movie is full of fireworks. It was shot in Changsha, which is a city that makes us feel very fireworks. Pumbaa’s Hunan Supu, did you ask any friends around you?


Peng Yuchang: Yes, I asked the teacher, and the group also prepared a language teacher for me.


Lan Yu: Have you got any secrets about Su Pu in Hunan?


Peng Yuchang: At first, I thought it was just a change in tone. After filming for about seven days, I was particularly impressed. Suddenly one day, the director said that you should stop talking like that. You can talk like this. That day, it was the first time that I realized that the pitch didn’t have to be raised so high, but it must be like Su Pu, and normal speech was also Su Pu.


Lan Yu: If you use Su Pu to describe the three people present, what would you say? First of all, describe mom.


Peng Yuchang: Here’s Ollie.


Lan Yu: Here it is from Ollie. What about the director?


Peng Yuchang: What the director said … was wrong.


Han Yan: It means a liar.


Peng Yuchang: Because he lied to me. That bald guy looks good.


Han Yan: I lied to you, but it’s not just bald. I lied to you a lot.


Lan Yu: I am happy to be fooled. Where is Geng Xi?


Peng Yuchang: It’s beautiful.



Lan Yu: This dialect is very important. It immediately established the life quality of this character, including Mr. Xu Fan, in which you also spoke dialect.


Xu Fan: Yes, because I’m from Hubei, and the plastic arts in Hubei are different from those in Hunan. What’s the ending in Hubei? This ending is different, and sometimes I’m particularly afraid of stringing, so I have to control myself from stringing at any time, because a string of Hunan people says it doesn’t look like it, and Hubei people will say it doesn’t look like it, so I have to control it as much as possible.



Blue feather: the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves before. Geng Xi is a post-00 generation. It is very surprising for us to see her performance strength. Can you join such a movie? Will you have your own confused moments during the performance?


Li Gengxi: Every play is like a new beginning. Han Dao is very particular about details, so I can’t use my experience. Experience is the most worthless thing. You need to forget all these things, but you have to put yourself in that shell and be at the mercy of Han Dao. So this thing is a wonderful feeling.


Han Yan: You forgot that you sent me a message the other day. She said something to me at that time, which impressed me deeply. She said that I thought they were too difficult and I didn’t know how to help them. I also want to make myself a little less comfortable. This kind of touch or feeling can really make this character’s heart feel melted.


Li Gengxi: (with tears in his eyes)



Han Yan: Did you mention anything sad?


Li Gengxi: No, no, no.


Lan Yu: You suddenly recalled that feeling, didn’t you?


Li Gengxi: Yes, I just have to say how bad this whole thing is for me.


Han Yan: I want to explain to you that the two of them didn’t just suffer some flesh and blood when they played this role, because I always shoot this kind of drama myself. I know very well that every time I shoot this kind of movie, I shoot Fuck off! Tumor jun, whether filmed or filmed, is born and died once with the role. I am well aware of the pressure and struggle behind their performance.



Lan Yu: What kind of new understanding does director Han Yan have of life after filming the trilogy of life?


Han Yan: I have been particularly sensitive to birth, illness and death since I was a child. Later, I filmed these things by myself, which was a process of self-healing. Why did I keep filming? Because I have never been cured, that is, the medicine can’t stop. I think people will always have doubts about life when they are alive.


Lan Yu: "Shake the sun" reminds me of a picture, as if the feeling that the sun is shaking brighter and brighter is releasing more and more light. As long as we live hard and upward, we will be able to shake out the sunshine that belongs to our own life.


Han Yan: This is a movie with vitality and warmth.

Pinto Model 3? The starting price of MONA M03 in Tucki is within 140,000 yuan.

In order to cope with the momentum of new forces to build cars, Xpeng Motors has launched a new model -MONA M03 in recent years, which is positioned as an A+ class pure electric coupe. According to the latest news, the price of the new car will start at 140,000 yuan. The parameters and configuration of the comprehensive model are quite good, so can it compete with Tesla?

Screenshot 2024-08-1217.24.10

First, look at the appearance of the new car. The overall sliding back and hatchback coupe shape can reach the drag coefficient of 0.195Cd, which is full of movement. The body size is 4780*1896*1445mm, and the wheelbase is 2815 mm. Under this size, the body is relatively low, and with 19-inch wheels, the whole body presents a very young and sporty visual sense.

In terms of interior design, it is bolder and simpler than many pure trams today. The LCD instrument is cancelled, and the 15.6-inch central control floating touch screen replaces all operations and displays. In terms of vehicle configuration, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip is built in, and gesture control is also supported in operation. With a length of 4780mm and a wheelbase of 2815mm, the space performance inside the car is actually equivalent to that of a B-class car.

Screenshot 2024-08-1217.26.02

Speaking of Tucki’s models, the impressive thing is its XNGP high-order intelligent driving system. Many tests have proved its good practical application ability. Now this system will be installed on the MONA M03 new car. Officials have also claimed that the new car should make hundreds of thousands of pure trams have high-order intelligent driving. However, due to cost constraints, MONA M03 does not use high-order intelligent driving hardware such as laser radar, but is equipped with a single camera scheme focusing on vision, which may be biased in the realization of intelligent driving function.

Screenshot 2024-08-1217.23.45

In terms of power system, MONA M03 is equipped with two power schemes, namely, a low-power version of 140 kW and 190 HP and a high-power version of 160 kW and 218 HP. In terms of cruising range, there are three versions of 515 km, 485 km and 620 km respectively. The lower wind resistance, the dexterous coupe body and the improvement of electronic control under the new car platform believe that the new car will also have a good performance in energy consumption.

Screenshot 2024-08-1217.23.37

Write at the end:

The reason why Tucki "grinds a sword every four years" may be precisely because they found that the price of a pure electric coupe with enough intelligence, high endurance and enough exercise is more than 200,000, so they will spend a lot of money and take a long time to polish a new car. If the starting price is less than 140,000, then the new car does have obvious advantages, but the actual configuration, the price of high-equipped models and the driving performance need market feedback.

Expo 2021 creates opportunities and gathers resources —— Contributing "China Wisdom" to the development of global big data

On May 27th, children experienced green travel through virtual electric vehicles at the "Digital Expo". Xinhua News Agency reporter Yang Wenbin photo

  Cool Guiyang, big coffee gathering, talking about the future of data. From May 26th to 28th, 2021 China International Big Data Industry Expo was held here. The reporter felt at the meeting that big data is profoundly affecting global scientific and technological innovation, industrial restructuring and economic and social development.

  Multi-expansion of Big Data Fusion, Innovation and Application

  In the square in front of the Expo exhibition hall, a white bus attracted people to watch. The seemingly ordinary bus is actually a smart nucleic acid detection vehicle, which is equipped with a fully automatic cup-dividing processing system and automatic virus nucleic acid extraction equipment.

  This is an innovative application of big data integration exhibited by a company engaged in life big data research in Shenzhen. The person in charge of the enterprise said that in the health care industry, such applications have become more and more common.

  At the Expo, the "Bus-level Data Center Network" project won the "Black Technology Award". The project has carried out innovative research in topology, forwarding mechanism, chip algorithm and other dimensions, and solved the "stuck neck" problem of domestic switching chips. In addition, more than 800 new products, technologies and solutions such as "Baidu AI Cloud", "Easy Whale Full-stack Domestic Bank Core Transaction Solution" and "360 Security Brain" were all unveiled.

  As the first comprehensive experimental zone of big data, Guizhou has vigorously developed the digital economy, from "preempting the machine" to "grabbing the new machine" with remarkable results. According to Cai Chaolin, vice governor of Guizhou Province, in 2020, Guizhou’s digital economy rose against the trend, with a growth rate of over 15%, ranking first in the country for six consecutive years. The integration index of big data and real economy reached 41.1, an increase of 7.3 over 2017. Big data has achieved a wonderful "triple jump" from "wind and water" to "taking root" and then "gathering into potential" in Guizhou.

  Experts pointed out that in the process of expanding big data application scenarios and actively promoting all-round deep integration of digital technology and economic and social development, it is necessary to consolidate the computing power and talent base, strengthen the construction of computing power infrastructure, and fill in the shortcomings of key technologies and industries.

  Perfecting data governance and promoting fair competition

  Accelerating the development of digitalization and building a digital China is an important task defined in the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the outline of the long-term goal in 2035, and it is also an important breakthrough direction for the innovative development of hundreds of businesses, and data competition is inevitable.

  Asset management, shared circulation and security governance of data are directly related to the high-quality development of digital economy. At the Expo, Shi Denian, deputy chief engineer of China Information and Communication Research Institute, released the Report on Data Valuing and Data Factor Market Development, and proposed that data value is concentrated in data resource utilization, data capitalization and data capitalization.

  "With the continuous growth of data volume in China, the demand for data centers is increasing, and it is very important to realize the independent control of various products in data centers." Wu Hequan, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, said.

  The vigorous development of digital technology makes the voice of big data rule by law stronger, and data security governance and personal information protection have become the focus of attention.

  Experts believe that by establishing and improving the governance system and related systems, under the premise of ensuring personal privacy and data security, we will explore more accurate data confirmation, more convenient data transactions, more rational data use, promote fair competition and oppose monopoly.

  Judging from the evaluation results of the rule of law index of big data in 2020 published at the number fair, the information system of rule of law has been basically completed, data legislation has been in full bloom, digital justice has been steadily promoted, digital rights protection has been improved day by day, and the development of rule of law in big data has made great progress.

  The draft data security law will be reviewed for the third time at the 29th session of the 13th the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) from June 7 to 10. In this regard, Jason. JS, vice president of china law society, said that it is necessary to strengthen the safety management of important data leaving the country and earnestly safeguard the sovereignty of national data.

  "The current network security situation is very serious." In the keynote speech entitled "Building the Security Line of Industrial Control System with Active Immune Trusted Computing", Shen Changxiang, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, proposed to pay attention to the security of industrial control system. He believes that to build a triple protection framework, we can trust computing security, trusted boundaries and trusted network channels.

  Enhance the kinetic energy of open development in the digital field

  In the past seven years, the Expo has witnessed the magnificent development of the global big data industry, and gradually developed into an international event full of cooperation opportunities, leading the development of the industry, and a world-class platform to discuss development plans and share the latest achievements.

  The Expo not only created opportunities and gathered resources for the development of big data in Guizhou, but also contributed China wisdom and provided China’s solutions for the development of global big data.

  On May 27th, "Counting the Valley in China" (overseas version, English version) was first published at this year’s number fair, and three development visions were put forward: the number power law leads the future rule of law and reconstructs the new order of digital civilization; Strengthen data security governance and promote the construction of a community of cyberspace destiny; Governance of science and technology opens up a new realm of "China governance" and promotes the modernization of governance system and governance capacity. This indicates that Guiyang is moving towards a new stage of branding and internationalization in building "China Valley".

  Open cooperation is an inherent requirement for the development of big data industry. Vladimir Norov, Secretary-General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of the Expo, saying that the related technologies of big data have reached a high maturity, and their application in all aspects of economic and social development has brought remarkable results. The successful implementation of technologies related to big data and artificial intelligence will open up new growth opportunities for developing countries.

  Wei Zhang, vice president of the Institute of International Trade and Economic Cooperation of the Ministry of Commerce, said that looking to the future, we should seize the opportunity of digital transformation, strengthen the top-level design of digital trade development, actively participate in the negotiation and formulation of international rules, and enhance the momentum of open development in the digital field.

On the afternoon of November 22, 2016, Xiaomi launched a new Xiaomi network audio that was known as "unprofessional". It was developed by the Xiaomi TV host team and was a new category created by Xiaomi TV after the establishment of the box category.

As can be seen from the name, the biggest highlight of Xiaomi Network Audio is its ability to access the internet.

Compared with the traditional Bluetooth connection method, WiFi access to the network not only breaks through the distance limit (Bluetooth connection to the mobile phone is greatly affected by the distance, but Wi-Fi transmission distance and wall-penetrating ability are much higher than Bluetooth transmission), but also allows access to more music resources online, which is the best of both worlds.

It brings together the current 10 major mainstream audio service content, claiming to be able to provide 20 million online music library, 8 million sets of online radio programs, and more than 1,500 radio stations covering 31 provinces/municipalities.

In terms of hardware specifications, Xiaomi Network Audio has inherited Xiaomi’s usual "fever" concept, equipped with Amlogic 8726M3 Cortex-A9 processor, built-in 8GB flash memory, Bluetooth 4.1 and 802.11ac dual-band Wi-Fi, built-in two 2.5-inch subwoofers and two 20-core dome tweeters.

In terms of interface, Xiaomi Network Audio provides a 3.5mm audio input interface, supports USB expansion, and of course, the most important thing is to support Android/iOS mobile phone remote control (with Xiaomi Audio App) function.

Just looking at the above "parameters" can’t explain too much, so how is the actual performance of Xiaomi Network Audio? We got this product a few days ago, and we will share our experience with you.

[Appearance design: cuboid shape, shutter grille lines, simple and elegant]


The outer packaging of Xiaomi Network Audio is a king-sized Xiaomi mobile phone box, which adopts a white minimalist design style and has a product picture on the front.

The connection method of the product is marked on the side of the box. Xiaomi Network Audio supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, AUX IN, USB 2.0, unlimited projection and remote access, etc.

The Xiaomi network audio is a cuboid shape, the corners are rounded, and the white box is simple and atmospheric. Unlike the mesh or mesh design of traditional speakers, the front and rear sides of the Xiaomi network audio are designed with grilles, like blinds. The "MI" logo is integrated with the fuselage lines, quiet and unobtrusive.

The top of the Xiaomi network stereo is a silver-white metal control panel, and the surface is brushed, which is very textured.

The button layout is very similar to that of the Xiaomi TV host. From top to bottom, there are power indicators, volume +, PLAY key (play/pause), volume -, and CH key (used to switch channels). The left and right buttons are responsible for switching songs (previous/next). Long press the CH key to achieve voice control.

The back of Xiaomi Network Audio is covered by a 3.5mm AUX interface, a USB interface, and a power socket from left to right. It is connected to TVs, computers, and other devices through a 3.5mm audio cable. The USB interface can be connected to an external U disk to achieve local playback.


The bottom of the Xiaomi network sound box is surrounded by 4 rubber anti-skid foot pads, and the middle is the host information and the mobile phone client side to download the QR code.

The nameplate of Xiaomi Network Audio: the model is MDZ-16-DA, and the QR code is the Xiaomi Audio App, which connects Xiaomi Network Audio to achieve various functions.


The power cord of Xiaomi Network Audio is also a pure white design.

[Function experience: not just listening to music, radio and audio novels, but also voice on demand]

The biggest highlight of Xiaomi Network Audio is that the audio itself "can surf the Internet". The following will focus on the use of Xiaomi Network Audio.

After clicking "Next", the speaker can "surf the Internet".

– – Main interface of Xiaomi Audio App

After connecting to Wi-Fi, it will automatically enter the main interface of the Xiaomi Audio app (first on the left). Xiaomi Audio has pre-added several channels (the classics in the picture on the left are also popular, moving 2016, European and American golden songs, etc.). Click on any channel to start enjoying the music journey.

The one on the right is the main interface for music playback. Slide left and right to switch songs. At the bottom is the volume adjustment. You can also choose the playback order, view the playlist, and turn it off regularly, etc.

Click Create Channel to navigate to the search interface (first from the left). The same song will be displayed simultaneously on three platforms: Xiami Music, Xiaomi Music, and Kuwo Music. Click More Search Results to view all the content of this song on this platform (Xiami Music, Kuwo Music, or Xiaomi Music).

– create a channel

The Xiaomi Audio App supports self-built channels. Click "Create Channel" in the upper right corner of the main page to add songs to Xiami, Xiaomi and Kuwo.

Taking Xiaomi Music as an example, the self-built channel can add any song from the three lists of Xiaomi New Song Chart, Hot Song Chart and Popular Chart, but users cannot rename the channel, only add or delete it.

Subscription radio.

In addition to listening to music, you can also subscribe to radio stations on the Xiaomi Audio App. At present, Xiaomi Audio covers the content of Dragonfly Radio, Himalayan Radio, Koala Radio, Phoenix Radio and Litchi Radio.

After entering these platforms, you can see the popular content of most radio stations, and you can also search for your favorite programs. The operation mechanism is exactly the same as the previously mentioned search music process. After subscribing, you can see your subscribed programs on the main interface.

– Bluetooth connection

Although Xiaomi Network Audio is positioned as a smart speaker that "can surf the Internet", it still retains the basic functions of traditional Bluetooth speakers. First confirm that the Bluetooth switch of Xiaomi Network Audio is turned on. After the mobile phone turns on Bluetooth, click Connect with it to turn it into a traditional Bluetooth speaker.

After connecting to Bluetooth, not only can the local content of the mobile phone be played, but the resources in the Xiaomi Audio App can still be accessed, which means that Xiaomi Network Audio can support both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connection methods, but when using a third-party player, it can only be played through Bluetooth, and there will be a certain delay.

USB expansion.

Xiaomi Network Audio supports USB expansion. After inserting the U disk, the Xiaomi Audio App will display the U disk icon on the main interface, and click to play the songs on the U disk.

– remote access

Xiaomi Network Audio supports remote connection of PC or MAC computers. The specific operation method is (take Windows computers as an example), open "My Computer", enter the corresponding address (10.1.1.100), then click the media folder, copy the songs on the computer, and then you can play them on Xiaomi Network Audio.

The song information copied on the computer will appear in the Xiaomi Audio App synchronously, and the specific location is the speaker storage channel.

– other functions

You can view the available storage space of Xiaomi Network Audio in the App. In addition, Xiaomi Network Audio also has an alarm clock reminder function, which supports changing the alarm clock ringtone. The function experience is the same as that of the mobile phone alarm clock.

The Xiaomi Audio App has a built-in upgrade assistant. Through the upgrade assistant, Xiaomi Network Audio can be firmware upgraded. During our experience, we also received a speaker firmware upgrade push.

In addition, Xiaomi Network Audio supports voice-on-demand function. I often encounter such a thing in life. I want to find a song, but I only find it after consulting three or four music apps. Xiaomi Network Audio provides voice-on-demand function. Just long press the CH button and say the song, radio, audio book, etc. you want to listen to, and it will search and find the result and play it by itself.

In the actual experience process, the recognition rate is very high. By directly saying the name of the song or the singer, you can find the corresponding resources, which is simple and fast.

[Audition experience: 4 units of vocalization achieve good sound quality]

Xiaomi Network Audio has built-in 2 2.5-inch subwoofers and 2 20-core dome tweeters with a total of 4 sound units. The subwoofer can effectively reduce the distortion rate, and the dome tweeter has the advantages of wide frequency band, good directivity, good transient characteristics, smooth and natural, etc. The combination of the two complements each other.

In terms of quality, Xiaomi’s network audio has a sampling rate of 60-25kHz that exceeds the human ear discrimination range, supports up to 24Bit/192kHz audio sources, which is higher than the CD standard sound quality. The playback ability of such a high-purity audio source is comparable to the Hi-Res standard pushed by Sony.

With the configuration, how is the specific performance? Next is the audition experience.

Bass.

Bass: Representative tracks are Cai Qin’s "Ferry" and the Eagles’ "California Hotel", played through Xiaomi Network Audio, you can hear a very mellow bass, the female voice effect is clear and mellow, the resolution is high, the voice and background music are clearly layered, and the sense of presence is very strong, especially when it is close to the speaker position, there is a sense of immersion.

– Alto

Alto: The representative tracks are "Undercurrent" and "Legend". Faye Wong’s voice itself is relatively cool. Xiaomi Network Audio deduces the characteristics of Faye Wong as thin as a cicada’s wings, ethereal and stable. Although the telescopic force is not large, the light and dark fluctuations are relatively stable and full of tension.

– treble

Treble: The representative tracks are "Deficit" and "Heaven". The treble part of Xiaomi Network Audio is high and loud, vigorous and powerful, with transparent sound and distinct layers. The sound field is open and delicate, and the details are in place. There is no distortion when the volume is turned up.

It’s classical.

Classical music is the choice of "Bell" and "Chopin Etudes", the piano treble area crisp and melodious, loud and powerful, different intensity levels of sound can be clearly felt.

It’s called heavy metal.

The tracks used in heavy metal music are "She is My Sin" and "Stay". Heavy metal music generally has a roar, roar, or high-pitched and passionate voice. Xiaomi Network Audio plays such music with high explosive power, fast speed, and a sense of weight and destruction. It is very powerful.

Rock music.

The songs chosen for rock and roll are Cui Jian’s "Flower House Girl" and "Rock and Roll on the New Long March Road". Xiaomi Network Audio vividly interprets Cui Jian’s hoarse but loud voice full of wild beauty.

[Summary: 399 yuan, the strongest speaker at the same price]

Xiaomi Network Audio is a brand-new audio equipment product under Xiaomi. Although it is not Xiaomi’s first foray into the audio field, this product is very different from the previously released Xiaomi Bluetooth speaker in terms of appearance design and functional experience.

In terms of appearance design, Xiaomi Network Audio’s blinded grille lines are simple and elegant, in sharp contrast to the mesh or mesh design of traditional Bluetooth speakers. The rounded corners and white cuboid shape will not violate any place.

For speakers, which serve the sense of hearing, functional experience should be a priority for manufacturers. In this regard, with the help of the Xiaomi Audio App, Xiaomi Network Audio can realize many functions such as Wi-Fi listening, remote access, Bluetooth, alarm clock, etc., greatly improving playability.

In terms of resources, 20 million online music library, more than 8 million Internet radio programs and 1,500 radio stations can meet most of the needs of users, which are not available in traditional Bluetooth speakers.

In terms of sound quality, the 4-unit sound effectively reduces the distortion rate, the treble is smooth and natural, and the inverted air duct technology improves the bass performance, enabling Xiaomi Network Audio to maintain a very good sound quality level at this price range.

The appearance is simple and atmospheric, the operation is simple and convenient, the function is rich and powerful, the music content is rich, etc. These are the advantages of Xiaomi network audio. This time, Xiaomi has focused all its attention on the music experience, making the product itself more playable and providing users with a different product experience from traditional Bluetooth speakers.

Although the slogan "Xiaomi is targeting the market of 3,999 yuan at the price of 399 yuan" is a bit exaggerated, and although Xiaomi Network Audio cannot be compared with 3,999 yuan audio, it is undeniable that from this product, we see Xiaomi Network Audio’s determination to develop in a diversified direction, not just on the surface of pure listening to music.

Xiaomi automobile appeared in the official and complete closed loop of "the whole ecology of people and cars"

  Our reporter Xiang Yantao

  After 1003 days of announcing its entry into the electric vehicle industry, Xiaomi Automobile officially made its debut. On December 28th, Xiaomi Group held the Xiaomi Automobile Technology Conference in Beijing. The design, performance, battery life, safety and other details of Xiaomi SU7, the first work of Xiaomi Automobile, made its first public appearance.

  "Xiaomi decided to invest ten times, start with the underlying core technology, seriously build a good car, and through 15 to 20 years of hard work, become the top five automobile manufacturers in the world and strive for the all-round rise of China’s automobile industry!" Lei Jun, founder, chairman and CEO of Xiaomi Group, said at the scene that Xiaomi Automobile is a major leap for Xiaomi Group from the mobile phone industry to the automobile industry, and it is also a key leap for the complete closed loop of "the whole ecology of people, cars and homes".

  Lei Jun said that from the beginning, Xiaomi Automobile insisted on starting from the underlying core technology, insisting on positive research and development, and deep self-research on key tracks. At present, Xiaomi Automobile has invested more than 10 billion yuan in the first phase of R&D, and the R&D team has more than 3,400 engineers, including thousands of top technical experts at home and abroad in key fields.

  This conference officially revealed the progress and breakthrough of five core technologies of Xiaomi Automobile, including electric drive, battery, large die casting, intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit and other key areas, which can be called a comprehensive display of Xiaomi’s 13-year technology accumulation.

  Among them, in the field of industrial hard technology, Xiaomi has demonstrated the scientific and technological strength of self-developed manufacturing hard core, and has the leading intelligent manufacturing strength of complete automobile industry. For example, the super motor HyperEngine V8s independently developed and produced by Xiaomi has a rotational speed of 27200rpm, ranking first in the world in terms of mass production motor speed; Xiaomi has developed the integrated battery technology of CTB, and the world’s first battery inversion technology has achieved the highest battery integration efficiency of 77.8% in the world. In order to ensure the battery performance and quality from the source, Xiaomi even built its own battery pack factory.

  In addition, Xiaomi has independently developed "9100t super large die-casting cluster" and self-developed die-casting alloy material "Titan alloy", becoming the only automobile manufacturer in China with self-developed large die-casting and die-casting materials. At present, the industry is winding up the tonnage of clamping force of large die casting. Xiaomi firmly takes the road of full-stack self-research, from self-research materials and equipment cluster systems to finished castings, and has completed the full-stack self-research of almost all links in the large die casting industry chain.

  In the field of intelligent soft technology, Xiaomi has demonstrated the unique advantages of "technology giant, eco-car-making" and promoted the integration of automobile industry, consumer electronics industry and intelligent ecology. For example, based on Xiaomi 澎湃 OS, Xiaomi intelligent cockpit has realized the bottom reconstruction, evolved for the car, and created an advanced intelligent mobile space; In the field of intelligent driving, Xiaomi industry launched three key technologies, namely adaptive zoom BEV technology, large road model and super-resolution occupation network technology.

  In addition, the comprehensive empowerment of AI has also become a new bright spot for Xiaomi Automobile to integrate cutting-edge technologies and achieve innovative breakthroughs. For example, in addition to the first road model in the industry, Xiaomi has also developed the world’s first mass-produced "end-to-end perception decision-making model" for the parking service scene of intelligent driving, which can observe and dynamically adjust the parking spaces in mechanical garages and other ultra-difficult parking spaces in real time.

  Zhang Xiang, director of Vodafone Digital Automobile International Cooperation Research Center, told the Securities Daily that Xiaomi currently adopts the mode of self-purchasing equipment and self-building factories in core areas such as batteries and die casting, which is a common practice in the current industry. For example, Weilai makes its own motors, Tesla has a battery assembly plant, and BYD has mastered the most self-developed technologies for core components. Car companies build their own factories in these fields, on the one hand, because the production capacity of some core components is not very large, the supply chain is not very mature, and outsourcing faces supply chain security problems; On the other hand, the prices of these core components are relatively high and the profits are relatively high. If you choose to build your own factory, you can enjoy the industry dividend. If you outsource it completely, the technical content and profits of Xiaomi Automobile will be greatly reduced.

  At the end of October this year, Xiaomi announced a comprehensive upgrade of the group’s strategy, from "mobile phone ×AIoT" to "people, cars and homes are all ecological", and cars have become the most important part of Xiaomi Group’s strategy. Lei Jun announced that with the addition of Xiaomi Automobile, Xiaomi’s "full ecology of people and cars" was officially closed.

  Lei Jun introduced that "the whole ecology of people, cars and homes" is a super-intelligent ecology that comprehensively opens up people, cars and homes, realizes seamless connection and real-time collaboration of hardware equipment, and drives industrial chain partners to create a people-centered and active service. Xiaomi 澎湃 OS has opened up more than 200 categories including Xiaomi Automobile. In the past 13 years, Xiaomi has laid out 12 technical fields and 99 sub-tracks. Based on the principle of "deep integration of soft and hard, comprehensive empowerment of AI", Xiaomi has formed a "fusion technology stack" to continuously empower product development and manufacturing.

  

Geely Automobile’s 2022 financial report: New energy and high-end achievements appeared, and revenue and net profit increased.

In the past 2022, it was not very friendly to the entire automobile market. Under the impact of multiple unfavorable factors such as chip shortage, repeated epidemics, geopolitics and rising raw material prices, the autobots in it are miserable.

Because of this, those brands that strive for progress steadily in adversity and stick to integrity are more worthy of recognition.

Recently, Geely Automobile released the 2022 annual report data. As can be seen from the annual report, a number of major financial data of Geely Automobile hit a record high, which is really very important for the current anxious automobile industry.

A number of major financial data hit record highs. What did Geely do right?

Although the automobile market in China experienced many severe challenges in 2022, Geely Automobile still achieved many financial targets for the whole year, and ended up with bright data.

According to the financial report data, Geely Automobile achieved a total sales volume of 1,432,988 vehicles in 2022, up 8% year-on-year; Operating income was 148 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 45.6%, a record high; The net profit of returning to the mother increased by 8.5% year-on-year to RMB 5.26 billion; The financial situation remained strong, and the total cash level rose by 20.4% to RMB 33.7 billion, a record high.

In a word, sales volume, revenue and profit have all achieved good growth, among which revenue and net profit have reached a record high. Although the data is bright, the support behind the data actually highlights the value.

So, what did Geely do right? It is very necessary to explore Geely Automobile in the past year.

First of all, the high-end strategy is quite effective.

In 2022, Geely Automobile’s bicycle sales revenue was 103,000 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 29.6%, and the average bicycle gross profit was 17,500 yuan, a year-on-year increase of 11.1%.

The increase of bicycle gross profit is mainly attributed to Geely’s cutting off the low-end vision series, which has completely reduced the proportion of entry-level products in the whole system. At the same time, the high-value products represented by "China Star" continue to drive Geely to achieve the goal of brand promotion and value promotion.

In 2022, the high-end series of "China Star" achieved a total sales volume of 252,787 vehicles, accounting for nearly 23% of Geely (including geometry) brands, with a maximum monthly sales volume of 30,000 vehicles and an average bicycle price of 150,000 yuan, which is quite excellent not only for Geely, but also for the entire China brand and even the joint venture brand.

In addition, Krypton and Krypton also played an important role in it. In 2022, the sales volume of Lectra was 180,127 vehicles. Among them, the flagship product Lingke 09 has entered the price band of 300,000 yuan, and the product premium ability continues to improve; The annual delivery of Krypton reached the target of 70,000 vehicles set at the beginning of the year, with an average price of 336,000 yuan, which provided an important support for the average sales price of Geely Automobile, including the already listed Krypton 009. At present, the average order amount reached 527,000 yuan, and buying a car can offset the quality and efficiency of the past five cars.

Secondly, technology feeds back the revenue.

In 2022, it achieved a total revenue of 1.66 billion, a year-on-year increase of 29.9%. Behind the data, it means that Geely, which used to buy and input technology in buy buy, has now begun to realize reverse output in technology.

Although in the annual report, the income from technology licensing is mainly attributed to Renault Korea, in fact, this is not Geely’s only source of technology export income.

For example, Geely Automobile exported a variety of products and engine technology to Proton Automobile to help it achieve sales growth. There is also Geely’s technical and management output to the smart brand, and the sharing of brands such as Geely SEA’s vast architecture and Jidu will further support Geely Automobile’s future profitability.

Finally, the product goes to sea.

In 2022, Geely’s export sales reached 198,242 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 72.4%, higher than the industry’s growth rate of 56.7%.

An Conghui, Chairman of Geely Automobile Group, Executive Director of Geely Automobile Holdings Co., Ltd. and CEO of Extreme Smart Technology, said that the overseas markets of Geely brand are mainly in some underdeveloped countries; Lectra has successfully entered the markets of developed countries in Europe, with an export volume of 28,000 vehicles last year. In the fourth quarter of this year, Krypton brand will also enter the markets of developed countries in Europe, and by 2024, Krypton brand will also enter the American market.

It is worth mentioning that in 2023, Geely Automobile’s overall overseas business is continuously expanding. According to the latest export sales data in February, Geely Automobile’s export sales in that month reached 17,500 units, an increase of over 16% from the previous month and an increase of about 78% from the same period last year.

Be steady and far-reaching, and replace "price war" with "value war"

In 2023, the prospect of the auto market is still very complicated.

First of all, the global economy is facing outstanding uncertainties in geopolitical and macroeconomic development, such as the Russian-Ukrainian war, the development of trade between China, the United States and Europe, and the next development of the COVID-19 epidemic, which may affect various supply chains and the price trends of raw materials and energy; Secondly, the continuous inflationary pressure faced by consumers and enterprises, the subsequent interest rate hikes by central banks, and the more obvious slowdown in economic growth; Finally, semiconductor supply problems continue to lead to supply constraints.

Affected by the above factors, from the beginning of this year, some car companies took the lead in opening a price war in the field of new energy and extended the "price war" to the fuel car market.

"We don’t just follow the simple price war, we have to fight the value war, the after-sales service war, the quality war, the technical war and the moral war of the enterprise. Geely will definitely maintain its strategic strength, and products will give customers an advantage and a sense of value. "

In the financial report meeting, Gan Jiayu, CEO of Geely Automobile Group, gave a clear response to the recent price war spreading in the industry.

Gui Shengyue, chief executive officer and executive director of Geely Automobile Holdings Co., Ltd. also said: "Car companies have made huge price cuts in order to survive, but the more the price drops, the less investment in R&D, and the experience for car consumers is bound to drop sharply."

From their words, it is not difficult to see Geely’s attitude towards the increasingly fierce price war in the industry-not participating in the price war, but focusing on brand war, value war, technology war, service war and moral war, shaping a higher brand image and continuously creating value for users.

Of course, Geely has a reason to do so.

The strong financial situation is of course a reason that cannot be ignored. In 2022, Geely’s total cash level rose by 20.4% to RMB 33.7 billion, a record high; Operating cash flow increased by 4% year-on-year to 16 billion yuan. Adequate cash flow can support Geely Automobile’s R&D innovation in high-value and high-end. More importantly, it is enough for Geely to maintain a stable and sustainable pace of transformation and let the enterprise enter a virtuous circle.

In addition, the competitive product cost is also the key factor for Geely Automobile not to fight the price war.

In this regard, Yan Jiayue said: "The competition between enterprises is product competition, and the competition between products is cost competition. Geely focuses on building high-value products through its own technical capabilities and cost control advantages."

In addition, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which are backed by the developed private economy, have also brought dividends to the entire automobile industry chain. Gan Jiayue further said: "As an automobile factory in the east, 70% or 80% of Geely’s supply chain is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and we can gain some product competitiveness through supply chain integration."

To put it bluntly, Geely has sufficient funds, plus the advantages in technology and product support. Therefore, Geely only fights "value wars" and does not fight "price wars".

Push 10 new cars to help achieve the sales target of 1.65 million vehicles.

For 2023, Geely Automobile predicts that it will continue to maintain a positive trend in fiscal year 2023.

Geely Group sets the annual sales target at 1.65 million vehicles, which is about 15% higher than the total sales in 2022. Among them, the sales volume of new energy vehicles has doubled. According to this calculation, the sales volume of new energy vehicles of Geely Automobile will be close to 660,000 this year, accounting for nearly 40% of the sales volume.

In such a complex and subtle market environment in 2023, the goal of Geely can be said to be quite challenging. To this end, Geely plans to launch 10 new cars to help achieve the annual sales target.

The first is the Geely brand. At present, the plug-in hybrid A-class SUV Galaxy L7 has been unveiled and will be delivered in the second quarter. The plug-in hybrid car Yinhe L6 will also be delivered in the third quarter; E8, the prototype of Galaxy Light, will be delivered in the fourth quarter.

In addition, in 2023, Geely will launch a new compact SUV——G426 (internal code), the new Geely Emgrand L Raytheon Hi·P and a new SUV, with its internal code FX12, presumably the Coupe version of Bo Yue L(FX11).

Secondly, the brand of Lexus, in addition to changing the existing products, will launch two brand-new models this year, the medium-sized SUV Lexus 08 and the plug-in hybrid medium and large cars, which are expected to be named Lexus 07.

Once again, it is the brand of Extreme Krypton. This year, two brand-new models will be launched, the Extreme Krypton X and the pure electric compact car. At present, the Extreme Krypton X has been unveiled or will be delivered in the middle of this year; The pure electric compact car is expected to debut in the fourth quarter.

Finally, the Ruilan brand Ruilan 7. It is reported that Ruilan 7 is based on Geely GRBC crystal architecture, equipped with a variety of powertrains, which can realize a variety of driving forms such as front drive, rear drive and four-wheel drive, and can complete a variety of high-order intelligent driving such as AVBS automatic valet replacement. The car will be listed in July.

In terms of intelligence, Geely will also continue to increase its intelligent self-research capabilities and launch the Galaxy N OS system. At the same time, Geely Automobile will launch a higher-level intelligent driving scheme (10V5R1L) on the basis of 6V5R, so as to enhance the ability of independent perception and intelligent decision-making, and solve the long tail problem of NOA navigation assistance.

Summary: In the complicated and changeable year of 2022, Geely Automobile not only grew steadily against the trend, but also broke through the bottleneck of annual sales of 1.3 million vehicles in the past three years and jumped to a new level. In 2023, Geely Automobile will continue to be steady and steady, accelerate the transformation of new energy and intelligent fields, and boost the Geely brand to a new highland.

Adhere to your own strategic goals, adhere to self-confidence in building cars, win by customization, and win by scientific and technological self-confidence and long-term doctrine. It can be predicted that in 2023, Geely will continue to make great strides and make breakthroughs, and lead the China brand to achieve a new leap.
