Title: Proposal on Accelerating the Improvement of Terminal Service System in Urban and Rural Express Industry
First sponsor: Sun Buxin, Yan Jun, Xu Jin, Sun Yunfeng.
Organizers: Post Office (main), Ministry of Agriculture (meeting), Ministry of Public Security (meeting) and Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (meeting).
Form of proposal: individual joint name
Content:
　　　　Express delivery industry is an important part of modern service industry, and it is a modern leading industry that promotes the transformation of circulation mode and the upgrading of consumption. Express delivery industry is the fastest growing emerging service industry in recent years.
　　　　According to relevant statistics, in 2007, China’s annual express delivery volume was more than 1.2 billion pieces, in 2014 it was 14 billion pieces, and by 2015 it had exceeded 20 billion pieces. During the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" period, the average annual growth rate basically exceeded 50%, and the development was very rapid. According to the goal of "Several Opinions of the State Council on Promoting the Development of Express Industry" issued by the State Council on October 23, 2015, by 2020, the annual business volume of express delivery will reach 50 billion pieces and the annual business income will reach 800 billion yuan.
　　　　The development of express delivery industry has reduced the circulation cost, not only promoted the development of e-commerce, provided convenience for people’s lives, but also promoted the development of modern agriculture, advanced manufacturing, financial industry and other industries. It can be said that the express delivery industry is a new achievement of internet plus’s new economic format, and it is an indispensable part of building a city life service circle, serving people’s livelihood and serving economic development.
　　　　First, the status quo and problems of express terminal service
　　　　Taking the city as an example, institutions and schools are concentrated, and large-scale residential areas, commercial areas and comprehensive office areas of enterprises and institutions are constantly emerging. The demand for express delivery services for unit users and individual users is large, demanding and personalized. The current delivery service mode does not match the property management pattern, causing a series of conflicts.
　　　　1, the contradiction between service demand and service capacity building lag.
　　　　In schools, communities, institutions and other units in the city, the problems of express terminal service are mainly manifested in: based on the security considerations of property (or logistics) management, there are access restrictions on express employees; The unit mailroom refuses express mail; There are no public facilities to accept express mail.
　　　　Lagging infrastructure construction, lack of public service platform construction, setting up stalls at delivery terminals, and road sorting have become the key points to be urgently studied and solved in express delivery development and urban construction.
　　　　2. Express service in remote villages needs government support.
　　　　Due to the scattered population in rural areas and the different characteristics of economic development in different regions, the development of express delivery business is unbalanced and the demand is relatively scattered, and the cost of collecting and delivering express delivery enterprises is relatively high. In order to guarantee the service standard and gain a firm foothold in the rural market, the express delivery enterprises basically adopt the way of self-building and co-building service outlets, and subsidize the delivery of parts to rural outlets. From provincial and municipal distribution centers to rural counties, it is basically necessary to ensure 1-2 express buses every day. Express delivery to remote towns and villages adopts common distribution, entrusted collection and delivery by EMS.
　　　　With the development of e-commerce, the demand for online shopping in rural areas has increased sharply, but it has not yet formed a two-way convection of products going to cities and countryside. For example, there are many old and weak people in the western region, and consumption is the main thing. The existing express service facilities and service system of enterprises can not meet the needs of users, so the government needs to cultivate the market and give some support to promote development.
　　　　3. Express service is facing a big bottleneck in urban areas.
　　　　People working and living in urban areas are dense. The closer to the city center, the more concentrated the demand for express delivery, and the area under the jurisdiction of the unit needs more express delivery services. Faced with the pressure of traffic and the severe challenge of strong demand for express delivery service every day, express delivery and terminal delivery have become important factors affecting service level and quality in recent years.
　　　　Second, suggestions
　　　　Express terminal service is an important part of express service, and it is an important embodiment of industry development benefiting people and serving people’s livelihood. We should give full play to the enthusiasm and initiative of relevant government departments, trade associations, enterprises and other parties, establish a working pattern of government-led, association-guided, enterprise-led and public-supported, implement "Several Opinions of the State Council on Promoting the Development of Express Industry", and study and introduce targeted support measures to promote the healthy and sustainable development of express industry.
　　　　1. Improve the legal planning system. The national "Express Regulations" will be promulgated this year, and all provinces should speed up the promulgation of the implementation opinions of the "Express Regulations" in this province; Incorporate the development of express delivery industry into the national economic and social development plan, rationally arrange the layout and construction of express delivery processing centers, convenience service outlets and other infrastructure in urban and rural planning, land use planning and public service facilities planning, and incorporate the supporting construction of express logistics common distribution stations and intelligent express (parcel) boxes into the urban community development plan.
　　　　2. Promote the construction of the terminal public service platform system for urban and rural express delivery. Business, rural areas, education, social construction, housing construction and other departments, together with postal administration departments, seriously study and give priority support to the inclusion of express service industry in the priority development industries related to people’s livelihood in the region, incorporate express terminal delivery service into the urban distribution system, support the construction of public service facilities such as logistics (express delivery) distribution stations and intelligent express boxes, and encourage community properties, village-level information service stations (points) and convenience stores to provide express delivery services. Support the extension of express delivery service network to rural areas, support express delivery enterprises or third-party services to focus on entering campus, communities, buildings, institutions and villages, and improve the last mile delivery service of express delivery with common distribution and intelligent express boxes as the main modes. All government departments should strengthen coordination and give special funds and policy support.
　　　　3. To promote the standardization and professional development of urban express delivery vehicles, the national standard for express tricycles should be formulated as soon as possible. Traffic management departments should formulate and implement measures for the management of urban express vehicles, express electric tricycles and other vehicles, rationally plan the route of express delivery vehicles and the loading and unloading locations of express mail, strengthen the demand management of urban distribution capacity, and ensure the convenient passage of express delivery vehicles; Encourage the use of clean energy vehicles to carry out express delivery business, and support the construction of facilities such as charging and refueling.

Musk’s latest interview is coming, 55 questions in 55 minutes, and the golden sentence is constant!

Just yesterday, Musk was invited to attend the TED2022 conference speech, and had a conversation with Chris Anderson, the head of TED, for more than 50 minutes. He talked about Musk’s recent $10 billion acquisition of Twitter, and also talked about sensitive topics such as Musk’s "securities fraud" and whether he was the real founder. Finally, he talked about his philosophy of life.

TED is a private non-profit organization in the United States, which is famous for its TED conference. The purpose of this conference is to "spread all ideas worth spreading". TED was born in 1984, and its founder was richard saul wurman. Since 2001, Chris Anderson has taken over TED, founded The Sapling Foundation, and run the TED conference. Every March, the TED conference brings together many outstanding figures in the fields of science, design, literature and music in North America to share their thoughts and explorations on technology, society and people.

▲ Musk is at TED.

This time, Musk, as the closing speaker of the TED conference in 2022, shows that his influence is very strong. TED officially described Musk’s speech like this-

"Since we gathered in Vancouver for the TED conference three years ago, times have changed. Everything is different. We are facing a brand-new, wonderful and celebratory era. The future is coming to us with extraordinary possibilities that we dare not imagine. In medicine, AI, clean energy … and the way we work and study, even the basic economy and all-inclusive social system, profound changes are taking place. "

▲TED official description

In this program, Musk did not speak alone on the stage like the usual TED speaker. Chris Anderson, the head of TED, had a face-to-face interview with Musk. Throughout the interview, Musk made frequent sentences and talked about many exciting topics:

1. I am not always right

2. We are confident to realize FSD in 2022.

3. The development potential of humanoid robots will be much greater than that of automobiles.

4. The humanoid robot cannot be OTA.

5. Consider launching Miss Robot.

6. Robots are cheaper than cars

7. Self-exposure is the worst thing to start a business.

I lived in a factory for three years and ran around like a madman.

9. I know more about manufacturing than all living people.

All in all, this nearly one-hour conversation is very informative and wonderful, and it is an important window to understand Musk. The following is the full compilation of this video conversation by Che Dongxi, which has been slightly revised to conform to Chinese reading.

I am confident that the humanoid robot that can solve the problem of fully automatic driving this year will have a bright future.

Chris Anderson: In a few minutes, elon musk will come to the stage to have a conversation with me. Before that, let’s take a look at my interview with him in the factory in Texas. On the day before the opening ceremony of the Texas Super Factory, I was lucky enough to be invited to that super factory and visited the super factory in elon musk in advance. I tell you responsibly that it was really shocking.

▲ Outside the Texas factory

In Musk’s view, the sustainable future is not only to produce electric vehicles, but to build a system that can produce a large number of electric vehicles. After obtaining a certain profit, it can provide funds for further growth.

At that time, when I was in the Texas factory, I wasn’t sure whether Musk would come to our program, so I seized the opportunity to record a long interview with him, and now I will show 8 minutes of it.

The following is an interview video conversation:

1、Chris AndersonNow let’s discuss a question about artificial intelligence. I’m curious about your timeline. How do you predict the future? Some things you predict are surprisingly accurate, while others are not. When predicting the sales of cars, you predicted it very accurately.2014In, the annual sales volume of automobiles wassixTen thousand units, you said at that time, to2020The annual sales in 2008 will arrive.50Ten thousand units.

Musk: Yes, we sold almost 500,000 cars in 2020.

2、Chris AndersonFive years ago, it was your last visit.TEDAt that time, I interviewed you about autonomous driving. You said yes at that time, this year (2022I am confident that a car will drive from L.A. to new york without any intervention.

Musk: I’m not always right.

3、Chris AndersonThen tell me the difference between the two. whyImplementation time of FSDUnpredictable?

Musk: There are many problems in autonomous driving. Sometimes you think you have solved the problem, but in the end you will find that you just have a ceiling problem. If you use a chart to describe the progress, then (autonomous driving research and development) is like a series of logarithmic curves. At first, the progress rises linearly, and then it begins to decline, and your income (research and development progress) is decreasing. But to solve FSD, we must solve the real world AI. The road network is designed as a biological neural network-that is, the brain and vision (eyes) work together. In order to make the brain and eyes work together with the computer, it is necessary to solve the real world AI and vision.

▲ A logarithmic curve function

4、Chris AndersonDo you think it’s possible to keep the logarithmic curve from turning around soon with the architecture you have now?

Musk: To be honest, I admit that what I say next may be seen as drawing a pie, but in fact I am confident that this problem will be solved this year.

5、Chris Anderson: Is there such a factor? In fact, you are deliberately making a forecast table ahead of the time line to inspire employees’ confidence and fighting spirit. If there is no fighting spirit, nothing can be done. Recently, you made a surprising remark. You said that the most important product development may be carried out this year, which is humanoid robot.OptimusReally? Did it give you confidence in the process of developing autonomous driving, so that you can do something special in this respect?

▲ humanoid robot

Musk: Yes, it took me some time to realize that to solve the problem of autonomous driving, we need to really solve the artificial intelligence in the real world. A smart car is actually a robot with four wheels, and then you can extend it and imagine it as a robot with legs. At present, what we need is basically the intelligence in the real world and the expansion of manufacturing scale, which are also two things that we are very good at, so we basically only need to design the special actuators and sensors needed by humanoid robots.

People haven’t realized that the development potential of humanoid robots will be much greater than that of cars.

6、Chris AndersonI think the first application of humanoid robot you mentioned may be manufacturing, but in the end its vision is to let people use these things at home.

Musk: Exactly.

7、Chris AndersonIf you have a robot, it knows the three-dimensional structure of your house, knows where every object in the house is or should be, and can identify all objects. This is a bit surprising, so what would you let the robot do? Cleaning and tidying?

Musk: Yes.

8、Chris Anderson: Cooking dinner and mowing the lawn.

Musk: Pour tea for grandma, watch family photo albums with her, and take care of my grandma.

9、Chris AndersonTo be exact, the robot can recognize everyone in the family and play catch with your children.

Musk: Yes. I mean, obviously we need to be careful not to become a dystopia. One of the most important things is to install a localized ROM chip on the robot, which cannot be upgraded by OTA. Once you or anyone gives a "stop, stop" command to the robot, the robot will stop. This kind of robot cannot be updated remotely. I think it is very important to have such a security function.

10、Chris AndersonYes, that sounds wise.

Musk: In this regard, I think there should be a regular regulatory body. I have said for many years that although I don’t like being supervised, public safety is very important.

11、Chris Anderson: Do you think robots will be in2050Did it appear in most families in 2008 or other times? People may think that you will basically have your own housekeeper.

Musk: Yes, people will let robots do something.

12、Chris AndersonYou will have your robot housekeeper.

Musk: Yes, you will have your robot partner, to a large extent.

13、Chris AndersonHow many programs do you think you have to write to make robots human?/Love partner? You know that when robots become human partners, it is inevitable to talk about sex.

Musk: I did say on the Internet that robot call girls would be produced.

The two sides laughed …

▲ Musk laughs.

Musk: This is what people really want …

14、Chris AndersonWhen do you think the first batch of humanoid robots will be produced and sold?

Musk: I tend to apply robots first to jobs that are dangerous, boring, repetitive and people don’t want to do. This year, we may produce an interesting prototype robot, and probably within two years, we will make something useful. Then, the practicability of humanoid robot will increase rapidly year by year, the cost will be reduced and the production scale will be expanded.

15、Chris Anderson: What do you think the cost will be?

Musk: Actually, I don’t think the cost will be outrageous. It should be lower than the cost of a car.

16、Chris AndersonBut from an economic point of view, if you can pay in one lump sum.2.5Ten thousand dollars (about RMB)16Ten thousand yuan), buy a robot instead of an annual salary.threeWan ~fourTen thousand dollars (about RMB)19Ten thousand yuan ~25.5Ten thousand yuan) workers, and workers also need to pay wages every year, and robots can work longer hours without taking vacations. I mean, robots may quickly replace some types of jobs. Will the world be worried about this?

Musk: I’m not worried about people losing their jobs. Our labor shortage is already serious, and it will get worse in the future, so I don’t think there will be any unemployment in the future, and there will still be labor shortage. If everything in the world is abundant, any goods and services will be provided to anyone who needs them, and the goods and services are very cheap, which will be ridiculous.

Second, the acquisition of Twitter for freedom of speech became a traffic accident.

Chris Anderson: Everyone is very interested in Musk’s live broadcast. Here is what I think is very important-live broadcast. Welcome listeners from all over the world to participate in TED2022. This week, we have been listening to people with lofty ideals’ imagination about the next era of mankind. Next, we will invite the most visionary among them-elon musk!

17. Chris Anderson: Hi, Elon, welcome! Elon, a few hours ago, you proposed to buy Twitter. Why?

Honda cooperates to build a new tram, with an output of 2 million in 2025. Can it be defeated? ">

▲ Musk pushed to buy Twitter.

Musk: How do you know?

18. Chris Anderson: I don’t know.

Musk: By the way, have you seen the movie Teddy Bear?

19. Chris Anderson: I have seen it, so I have a question. Why did you make this proposal?

Musk: Oh, well, I think it is very important to have an inclusive stage for free speech.

I think Twitter should open its own algorithm whether it is required or not. They should let people know that it is very important that everyone can speak freely within the scope of the law. Therefore, there should be no problem of behind-the-scenes manipulation, whether it is algorithm or manual.

20. Chris Anderson: But when we talked last week, you still said that you didn’t want to buy Twitter. It is the source of your pain. Everyone will blame you for all the problems. What changed your mind?

Musk: No, I think I bought Twitter, and people will still blame me for everything. Everyone is chattering, but if something goes wrong, it’s 100% my fault. I will be hurt and sad.

Chris Anderson: But you still want to do it. Why?

Musk: I mean, I hope it’s not too bad, but I still think it’s important and interesting, just like Twitter is important to democracy. In addition, it is also very important to the United States and other countries. In fact, it helps other countries in the world more freely than the United States. Therefore, if we can increase our trust in Twitter, the risk of human civilization will be reduced. So I think it will be a bit painful, and I don’t know if I can really get it. My purpose is to keep the shareholders of private companies allowed by law, around 2000.

We are not from the perspective of how to monopolize or maximize my ownership of Twitter, but we will try our best to assume the responsibilities we can.

Chris Anderson: You don’t necessarily want to pay $4 billion or $1 billion in cash, do you? Do you want them to do it with you?

Musk: I think I can afford it. But what I want to say is that this is not the way to make money. But I feel that it is very important for the future civilization if there is a public platform that can be trusted and tolerated to the greatest extent. But I don’t care about those figures you said.

23. Chris Anderson: OK, I know what you mean. It’s not a question of money, but to do something more moral.You describe yourself as an absolutist of freedom of speech, but does this mean that people can say everything without saying anything?

Musk: Well, I think it’s obvious that Twitter or any forum is subject to the laws of the country where it is located. Therefore, the United States obviously has some restrictions on freedom of speech. Of course, Twitter has to follow these correct rules.

Chris Anderson: So you can’t incite people to violence, just like directly inciting violence. For example, you know you can’t shout fire in the cinema.

Musk: Yes, this is a crime.

Chris Anderson: But the problem is that there are subtle differences between different things. Illegal violence is not good, but some forms of hate speech are.

Someone tweeted that I hate a politician. This is possible. Another tweet is that I hope a politician is not alive, with a picture of them, a gun, or their address on it. I mean, at some point, someone has to make a decision and decide which ones are bad. Algorithms can do this, and of course, at some point, you also need human judgment.

Musk: No, in my opinion, Twitter should comply with national laws and be obliged to do so. However, if we violate this point and don’t know who is making what changes to whom, let tweets be promoted and downgraded without insight, and let the black box algorithm promote some specific content, I think this may be quite dangerous.

26. Chris Anderson: So the idea of an open Twitter algorithm is an influential decision. I think many people will welcome it and want to know how it made a decision, and will criticize and comment on it.

Musk: I want to improve it, such as putting the code on github. You can ask questions or suggest changes, just like you update Linux code.

▲ open source website GitHub

27. Chris Anderson: Now there is a view that what the algorithm needs to do is to see how many people mark a tweet as illegal, and then at some point, manually check and judge whether it is illegal. But the algorithm can’t distinguish whether it is legal or not, so the question is who can distinguish whether tweets are illegal or not. Twitter, Facebook and other companies employ thousands of people to judge and decide whether the pictures you send are illegal. But the problem is that no one makes wise judgments.

Musk: Well, if you have any questions about this question, please keep it first. Because if this is a gray area, I would say let Twitter exist. But obviously you also know that there may be a lot of controversy in a case, and you don’t want to promote the Twitter. Besides, I don’t know all the answers.

But I am sure that we are just very reluctant to delete things, and we are just very cautious about these things. But on the whole, Twitter will not be perfect, but I think we really want to have as much freedom of speech as possible. A good sign is that people you don’t like are allowed to say things you don’t like. If so, then we have freedom of speech. When people you don’t like say things you don’t like, this is a sign of a healthy free speech situation, and it is also very annoying.

28. Chris Anderson: I think many people will agree with this, so let’s look at the online reaction. Many people are excited about your arrival and the changes you proposed, but others are absolutely frightened. These people will say, wait a minute, we agree that Twitter is a very important "city square", a place where people in the world exchange opinions and discuss about life and death. How can it be owned by the richest people in the world? This is impossible. So what do you do? I mean, how can you guarantee the content and convince people in a very clear way?

Musk: Any manual adjustment will be recognized. For example, if this tweet, if someone does something on Twitter, a message will be sent, and you know they tweeted. But if someone does something to promote demotion or otherwise influence a tweet, such as the ranking of media ownership. I mean, you know, Zuckerberg owns shares in Facebook and Instagram and Whatsapp, so he still controls these social media. But we don’t do these things on Twitter.

29. Chris Anderson: If you promise to open source Twitter algorithm, it will definitely give people a certain degree of confidence. Talk about some other changes you have proposed, so how will you solve the edit button?

Musk: Yes, my priority is to eliminate spam and scam robots and the army of robots on Twitter. You know I think these influences make the product worse.

30. Chris Anderson: But only on the edit button, how do you get around the question: Someone tweeted "I’m Elon Rocks", and two million people tweeted the message, and then they edited the message and turned it into "I’m Elon Sucks", and then all these retweets embarrassed them? How do you avoid this situation and prevent the forwarder from being used?

Musk: I think we can only have editing ability in a very short time, and what we may have to do when editing is to zero all forwarding and collections.

31. Chris Anderson: OK. I want to show you a tweet that I sent myself. It is true that the text is a bit lame and wordy, but I actually got 97 praises. Then I sent another one (the tweet mentioned that Musk was going to give a speech at TED), with 29,000 likes! So this algorithm, at least for now, is elon musk, the traffic cipher.

Musk: Yes, it’s really cool.

32. Chris Anderson: You did build a huge fan base on Twitter, but some people think that many of your tweets are something between embarrassment and madness. So this is the reason for its success?

Musk: I don’t know. However, my posts on Twitter are more or less stream of consciousness, because in fact, many things I post are not grand plans. Like most people, I just think this thing is very interesting, and then I take my mobile phone and send it out when I am squatting in the toilet or in other places. That is, over-sharing (laughs).

Chris Anderson: But you seem obsessed with getting the most out of every minute of your day, so why not?

Musk: I don’t know. I’m just trying to post some interesting things on Twitter, but unexpectedly, many people like these things I sent.

34. Chris Anderson: So if you don’t succeed in investing in Twitter, how can you protect your own funds?

Musk: I have money, and this is not a forward-looking statement. I mean, actually, even when I cooperated with, my funds were guaranteed.

In addition, I want to clarify one thing. At the beginning, the San Francisco office of the Securities and Exchange Commission knew that our funds were in place, but they still made a public investigation with great fanfare. At that time, the financial situation was already in jeopardy. The bank informed me that if I didn’t agree to settle with the Securities and Exchange Commission, they would stop providing working capital and go bankrupt immediately. Therefore, it’s like putting a gun to your child’s head, so I was forced to admit defeat illegally to these bastard securities companies. Besides, now they say it makes me look like I’m lying, but in fact I’m not lying. I’m forced to admit it. I lied to save my life, that’s the only reason.

Note: In August 2018, Musk said on Twitter that he intended to privatize the company at a price of 420 US dollars per share (about 2,672 yuan). Subsequently, the US Securities and Exchange Commission sued him and accused him of committing securities fraud. Finally, Musk was forced to resign as chairman of the board of directors and only served as CEO.

Chris Anderson: Considering what actually happened after that, aren’t you glad you didn’t privatize it?

Musk: I mean, it’s hard for you to put yourself in the position at that time. At that time, it was attacked by the most ruthless short seller in the history of the stock market, which can be said to be the most short-selling stock in the history of the stock market. This actually affects our ability to hire employees and sell cars. Those short-selling institutions just want to die.

36. Chris Anderson: I mean, many people who support you will say that you have brought a lot to the world. So don’t waste your time on these battles that bring negative emotions, which will make people think you are defending.

Musk: Well, I mean I’m a mixed person.

Chris Anderson: You are a fighter, and you don’t like losing.

Musk: Of course, I don’t like losing. But the truth is very important to me, and my obsession with the truth is even a little morbid.

Chris Anderson: OK, so you don’t like failure. But if you don’t succeed in this case-I mean, if Twitter’s board doesn’t accept your offer, and you have said it, you won’t pay any higher price. So have you prepared Plan B?

Musk: Yes.

Chris Anderson: I think we’d like to hear something about Plan B.

Musk: Maybe next time.

Third, yes, the real founder saved those three years like hell.

40. Chris Anderson: OK. Let’s change the subject. In fact, we collected a lot of questions to ask you when planning this program. One of them is very interesting-if you could go back and change a decision you made in your past life, which one would it be and why?

Musk: Do you mean a career decision or something?

41. Chris Anderson: It means any decision made in the past few years, for example, you decided to invest in Twitter from the beginning, or anything you can do.

Musk: Well, I mean, the worst business decision I ever made was that I didn’t start it with J. B. Straubel. This is the worst decision I have made so far, and there is no one.

42. Chris Anderson: J.B. Straubel is a visionary co-founder. He is fascinated by batteries and knows them very well.

Musk: When I invested, it was a shell company with no employees and no intellectual property rights, but Martin Eberhard, one of the other co-founders, made a wrong statement-I don’t want to discuss these dirty things here, but I really didn’t invest in an entity company that actually existed at that time.

In the end, the company was founded by J. B. Straubel and me. Unfortunately, one person and another co-founder said that he founded the company, which is incorrect.

43. Chris Anderson: Is there still a problem in the development of? Almost went bankrupt, as you mentioned before, partly because you overestimated the possibility of factory automation at that time, and spent a lot of money, which was a little over-automated, but it didn’t succeed and almost brought down the company. Is that right?

Musk: I mean, the first thing to know is what has been accomplished, which is the most noteworthy. The difficulty is not to create electric cars or to create prototypes of electric cars or to produce cars in small quantities. Over the years, there have been hundreds of car start-ups in the entire American market. Yes, so the difficult part is not to create a prototype or start a small batch of production.

The real difficulty is what many American auto companies have not accomplished in the past 100 years-mass production without bankruptcy, which is the real difficulty.

44. Chris Anderson: Right. I did it.

Musk: At that time, we basically screwed up almost every aspect of the Model 3 production line, from batteries to battery packs, to the body production line, painting workshop and final assembly. Everything was screwed up. I lived in factories in fremont and Nevada for three years, repairing production lines, running around the factory like a madman and living with the team. At that time, I slept on the floor, because then, the team members who were experiencing difficulties could see me sleeping on the floor instead of in the ivory tower, and they would know that no matter what pain they experienced, I was there.

45. Chris Anderson: But some people who know you well actually think that you have made a terrible mistake, that is, you almost pushed yourself to the edge of reason, which means that you are at risk of making a wrong choice.

In fact, I heard you say last week that you will spend every minute meaningfully because of your great value now. It sounds as if you are in danger of going to the edge of reason because you pursue time efficiency too much. This doesn’t sound particularly wise.

Musk: I mean, there was no other way to bring it back to life. I almost lived in hell for those three years. （2017-2019）

These three years are the longest painful period in my life, but there is no other way, because we have been on the verge of bankruptcy. So you think I want to experience pain, but I don’t. But these pains must be done, or they will die.

46. Chris Anderson: After three years, what advantages do you think there are in manufacturing now?

Musk: At this point, I think I know more about manufacturing than anyone alive on earth. Yes, I can tell you how every damn part of that car is made. If you only lived in the factory for three years and hacked into these machines for six weeks in a row, you would be like me.

Chris Anderson: I understand that you are writing a new master plan. You think mass production is the core of this plan. Why do you think mass production is so important?

Musk: At present, we still rely on fossil fuels and should realize the sustainable development of energy, so we must pass wind energy, solar energy, hydro energy, geothermal energy and even nuclear energy (I am a believer in nuclear energy and have discussed it). But solar energy and wind energy are indirect, so we must have a fixed battery, and then we will convert all the means of transportation into electric ones, and we may achieve a sustainable future by doing these things.

Therefore, the faster the scale of production, the less impact we have on the environment. Obviously, the production of batteries is the requirement of promoting sustainable development. We estimate that about 300TWh batteries are needed to store electricity and transition to a society that is completely electric energy.

48. Chris Anderson: To achieve such a thing, it is necessary to install more than 1,000 times of batteries. This is a very amazing thing. In addition to doing it, we must appeal to others to do the rest. This is the task of human beings, and deal with energy changes through a lot of work.

Musk: Yes, I think so. How quickly we can expand the scale and encourage others to expand the scale is the basis of reaching 300TWh batteries, and then we need to recycle these batteries. The raw materials are like high-quality ore, and even if the battery pack can’t be used, its value is about 1,000 US dollars (about 6,366 yuan).

This is necessary to realize a sustainable energy future, so we have taken a series of actions to accelerate the realization of a sustainable energy future.

Fourth, it is meaningful to write programming all night. Musk said that I love human beings deeply.

49. Chris Anderson: I will be very interested in your release of the third part of the master plan. You claimed to have Asperger’s syndrome on saturday night live. I’d like to know your views on Asperger’s syndrome? Even we really want to know about your childhood experience.

▲ Musk (middle) is in saturday night live.

Musk: I think everyone’s experience will be different, but for me, I am more like a bookworm and not very good at socializing, which makes me bullied a lot. Frankly speaking, I didn’t have a happy childhood, which is very bad, but I read a lot of books and gradually learned more from the books I read and the movies I watched. But it took me a while to understand what most people intuitively sensed.

Chris Anderson: So I wonder if this affects you in a strange way and indirectly affects many people. The human brain is plastic. For some reason, many people spend a lot of time, energy and spiritual energy indulging in the external world and society. If this behavior is cut off, it may help you to understand the inner world more deeply than most people.

Musk: I think it’s certainly possible, and it’s also valuable from a technical point of view, because I find it very meaningful to spend a whole night programming computers. I believe most people don’t like typing strange symbols in their computers all night. They think it’s not fun, but I really like it.

So I will program all night alone. I think it’s interesting, but I know it’s not normal.

Chris Anderson: Every entrepreneur sees the possibility of the future and then takes action to make it a reality. Therefore, based on a deep understanding of physics, you will see the possibilities of science and know what the basic equations are and what they can achieve. You will see the possibility of technology, combine the economy with the possibility to get the actual cost, and then you can imagine a system where you can afford the thing you made, and sometimes you will be sure that you can do something great by putting some pieces together.

Musk: Yes, I think no matter what conditions I have, I am absolutely obsessed with the truth. The obsession with the truth is the reason why I study physics, because physics tries to understand the truth, the truth of the universe and the truth with predictive ability. For me, no one asked me to study physics, it is just a very natural study, to understand the nature of the universe.

Secondly, computer science or information theory, which I am also very interested in.

52. Chris Anderson: Is the truth of the universe like the basic truth that drives the universe, like a deep curiosity about what the universe is, and why?

Musk: When I was a young man, I was very depressed about the meaning of life. I tried to understand the meaning of life through religious texts, and I also read many books by German philosophers. For a young man, this is absolutely unwise.

Finally, I read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. In fact, it is a book about philosophy, but disguised as a stupid comedy novel. Douglas Adams pointed out that the question is actually more difficult than the answer.

▲ Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

53. Chris Anderson: This is actually the pursuit of the problem. What do you think?

Musk: There is a suggestion about the world outlook or an inspiring philosophy, that is, understanding what questions to ask. If we expand the scope and scale of consciousness beyond biology and numbers, we will be able to better ask questions and understand why we are here, how we got here and what happened, so this is my driving idea, and expand the scope and scale of consciousness so that we can better understand the nature of the universe.

Chris Anderson: The most touching thing last week was to see you go out to play with your children. What kind of future do you think he will grow in?

Musk: He vaguely looks like a ventriloquist dummy. How do you know he is real? (Laughter) I feel that he will grow up in a very digital future, a world completely different from my growing environment, but we all want to do our best to ensure that the future is beautiful for everyone’s children. The future should be something we can look forward to without feeling sorry for it.

Every morning when we get up, we should be very excited about the future, which will make us struggle for what we are excited about in the future. The future can’t just be one tragic thing after another, and then we will deal with tragic things one after another. There will be something exciting in the future, just like you want to live. This is very important.

55. Chris Anderson: But as far as the future is concerned, there will still be some terrible things. You have seen a road connecting the Earth and Mars, and we are excited by artificial intelligence, but do you really believe in your heart that you are bringing an exciting future to others?

Musk: I am doing my best to do this. I love mankind. We should fight for the bright future of mankind. We should be optimistic about the future and strive for this optimistic future.

Chris Anderson: I think this is the best time to end this discussion. Thank you very much for taking the time to come here. Thank you for your work. Good luck and thank you.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 17 (Reporter Hou Xiaochen) Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Lu Kang confirmed on June 17 that Xiang Xiang, a giant panda cub born in Japan, will be returned to China on a delayed date by mutual agreement between China and Japan.

Lu Kang said at a regular press conference on the same day that according to the Agreement on Cooperation between china wildlife conservation association and Tokyo, Japan for Joint Research on Giant Panda Protection, Xiangxiang, a giant panda cub born in Ueno Zoo in Tokyo, should have been returned to China when it was two years old.

　　Beijing Youth Daily News In order to vent his emotions, he used a slingshot to shoot a projectile. The man Anmou broke three glass curtain walls in the East Hall of Houshayu Station of Beijing Metro Line 15. Yesterday, the Beijing Youth Daily reporter was informed that the Shunyi court sentenced Anmou to two years in prison and suspended for two years for the crime of seeking trouble.

　　At 19 o’clock on April 11, 2019 and at 21 o’clock on May 10, 2019, Anmou drove a truck from north to south on Jingmi Road, passing through the east side of Houshayu Station of the subway, and used a slingshot to fire bullets to vent his emotions. Three glass curtain walls in the east hall of Houshayu Station of Line 15 subway were broken.

　　It is reported that "bullet holes" appear in the glass curtain wall of Houshayu Station in Shunyi, Metro Line 15. Police officer Zhao of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Public Transport Corps of Beijing Public Security Bureau said: "This kind of special glass is not easy to break if it is not acted by external force, and scattered steel balls are found on the spot." After receiving the report, the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Public Transport Corps set up a task force in conjunction with the police station of Fengbo Station and sent a number of investigators to investigate.

　　At about 9: 50 pm on May 11th, an investigator found that when a closed pickup truck passed Jingmi Road outside Houshayu subway station, the driver rolled down the window and took out a slingshot, "shooting" at the glass curtain wall and quickly fled after breaking the glass. Then the police quickly found the man Anmou in a community in Houshayu and arrested him.

　　"We got more than 90 steel balls, 11 clay balls and a slingshot in the car." Zhao police officer said that when he saw the arrival of the police, Anmou confessed his behavior. "Breaking the glass to vent his dissatisfaction, I regret it now."

　　Anmou, a water delivery worker, said that he was in a bad mood because of conflicts with his family. In order to vent his emotions, he took out his slingshot and shot steel balls on the glass when he walked to Jingmi Road outside Houshayu subway station. After driving around, I shot at the second glass.

　　After identification, the loss price of three damaged glass curtain walls was 62,700 yuan. His family has compensated the victims for their losses. Anmou obtained the understanding of the victim unit. Anmou was prosecuted to Shunyi court for allegedly seeking trouble.

　　After trial, the court held that Anmou arbitrarily damaged public property, and the circumstances were serious. His behavior violated the social public management order and constituted a crime of seeking trouble and should be punished. In view of the fact that Anmou truthfully stated the facts of the crime, pleaded guilty and repented, and had compensated the injured unit for economic losses and obtained understanding, he was given a lighter punishment and suspended sentence according to law. In the first instance, the court sentenced Anmou to two years in prison and suspended for two years for the crime of seeking trouble.

　　(Beijing Youth Daily reporter Song Xia correspondent Geng Ruoshi)

Officially listed, the price of 11.98-15.58 million yuan is too competitive!

Weilai, Tucki and Ideality, as the "BBA" in the field of new energy vehicles, have always attracted much attention. At one time, they were neck and neck. Later, with the change of the market and the different positioning of their own brands, they fought a war of differentiation. LI insisted on taking the high-end market and used technology to mix well in the industry. Weilai Automobile insisted on taking the high-end route of pure electricity, and Xpeng Motors, which we are going to talk about today, is a most special existence!

Because its price is the most close to the people, unlike Weilai Automobile and LI, there are models as low as 100,000 and as high as 400,000 in Xpeng Motors. In addition, from the product line alone, Xpeng Motors is also the richest of the three, including cars, SUVs and MPVs. What is even more unexpected is that Xpeng Motors once again lowered the price and brought you an intelligent pure electric hatchback with a starting price of only 19,800 yuan.

What is the strength of MONA M03 in Tucki?

The answer given by the wheel is-strong! Because this time Xpeng Motors is sincere, and the target group of this car is young people with high probability!

First of all, in terms of price, compared with other models, Tucki MONA M03 is relatively friendly.

Secondly, in terms of face value, it is also completely designed according to the aesthetics of contemporary young people. Simple and atmospheric appearance, streamlined body lines, coupled with hatchback design, handsome will be finished.

Of course, the interior is also the same, focusing on a simple and fashionable design, without fancy design, a well-behaved T-shaped center console layout, a large panoramic canopy, a D-shaped sports steering wheel, a hidden air conditioning outlet, and a large 15.6-inch ultra-high-definition central control screen. The key is that it also has a large trunk volume of 621L, which can accommodate one 28-inch+four 20-inch suitcases at the same time, and the young couple can go out for a trip.

Perhaps speaking of this, some people will say that this is not a "rough house"? If you want to say so, the wheels will be the first to say no.

Luxury audio system, environment-friendly 256-color full-color ambient light, intelligent voice assistant in four-tone area, 8155 chip built in the car and 16GB large memory, all of which it has. Then you say this configuration, how dare you call it a "blank room"?

In addition, let’s take a look at this configuration map given by Xpeng Motors and official website. Wheels can only say-sincere enough!

Almost all the configurations on the map are standard, which means that Tucki MONA M03 didn’t even think about taking more money from consumers for the additional configuration.

It is necessary to have a beautiful face and a cost-effective ratio. In a word, after eliminating all fancy designs, Tucki MONA M03 lowered the price to 119,800 yuan. It can only be said that Xpeng Motors understands young people.

Can MONA M03 in Tucki set off a storm?

In fact, from the listing and analysis of the selling points in the last paragraph, you should already know the answer! In the field of compact cars, Tucki MONA M03 will definitely get a piece of the action!

Is a good example, although it is positioned as a medium-sized car, but the two have the same effect, the same is to try to explore the price range, in the configuration to give consumers sincerity, then the same Tucki MONA M03 will certainly get a good sales, young people’s first car, isn’t it?

In addition, in terms of intelligent assisted driving, it also supports XNGP full-scene intelligent assisted driving, such as urban intelligent car following, urban intelligent road planning, urban traffic light countdown, automatic start/stop, active avoidance of temporarily stopped vehicles in the city, and urban tracking and reversing. It is also practical on expressways, and it will actively change lanes to avoid big cars and automatically get on and off ramps. It also supports full-scene intelligent parking, and supports cross-floor memory parking scenes, parking and welcoming.

Write it at the end

According to the latest official news, the price range of MONA M03 in Tucki is 119.8-155.8 million yuan, and consumers can choose according to their own needs. Wheels suggest that it is good to choose the one that suits you, such as XNGP assisted driving system that will be equipped with the top gear. If it is necessary, we will reconsider. If it is not necessary, wheels suggest that the middle gear is the best, because it costs only 10,000 yuan, but it can increase the battery life by 105kmCLTC, and the speed is faster. It is also equipped with seat heating and seat ventilation, as well as 256-color indoor ambient lights and active environment.

E-cigarette products on the shelves in Los Angeles, USA. Xinhua news agency

　　Regulatory measures against e-cigarettes have been upgraded again — — Recently, the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau and the State Administration of Market Supervision issued a circular requesting that e-cigarettes should not be sold to minors, nor should e-cigarettes be sold through the Internet, nor should e-cigarette advertisements be published through the Internet.

　　Appear in a "healthy" appearance, but become the "first cigarette" for young people to become smokers — — For some time, electronic cigarettes, which are popular all over the world, have aroused vigilance and strict control in all countries. It is urgent to include e-cigarettes in the scope of tobacco control and prevent them from spreading to minors.

　　Not "healthy and harmless"

　　"Many friends around me are smoking. It is said that e-cigarettes are healthier, so I also tried." Zi Huan (a pseudonym), a 17-year-old high school student, came into contact with e-cigarettes for the first time because of the strong recommendation of his friends. He was originally resistant to cigarettes, but now he has become a small smoker who never leaves his hand.

　　E-cigarette is a special tobacco product, which generally consists of smoking utensils and cigarette oil. At present, the mainstream electronic cigarette in China, its cigarette oil is mainly made of nicotine, and nicotine and various additives are atomized by electronic smoking sets for consumers to smoke.

　　The reporter’s investigation found that many users of e-cigarettes said that they only "entered the hand" after seeing advertisements such as "can help quit smoking" and "healthy and harmless". The Report on E-cigarette Industry Supervision (2019) issued by Tsinghua University Public Health and Technology Supervision Research Group also points out that 95% of e-cigarette retail websites associate e-cigarettes with health and cleanliness, and 89% of online stores publicize health-related benefits.

　　This is not the case. The latest "Global Tobacco Epidemic Report 2019" released by the World Health Organization pointed out that e-cigarettes are "undoubtedly harmful", not only nicotine, but also other harmful substances, and the long-term impact on health is still unclear; There is not enough evidence that e-cigarettes help to quit smoking.

　　The relevant person in charge of the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau also said that many e-cigarette companies mislead consumers with propaganda that goes against objective facts, such as "helping to quit smoking" and "being healthy and harmless", but most e-cigarettes are very arbitrary in raw material selection, additive use, process design and quality control, and there are serious quality and safety hazards such as unsafe ingredients, cigarette oil leakage and inferior batteries.

　　Experts point out that nicotine will seriously harm the nervous system of teenagers, and e-cigarettes "wear beautiful coats" to lure teenagers to smoke, which leads them to unconsciously become addicted to cigarettes and even have a great possibility of contacting traditional cigarettes. This trend is undoubtedly worrying.

　　Aim at young people

　　Although the notice has been issued for several days, the reporter found on Taobao, JD.COM and other e-commerce platforms that there are still many brands of e-cigarettes selling normally. Although the goods are clearly marked "E-cigarettes are forbidden for minors", the purchase process is not verified and minors can easily buy them.

　　At the same time, in the e-cigarette advertisements of the above-mentioned e-commerce platforms, there are frequent pictures of young people holding and smoking e-cigarettes, accompanied by text descriptions such as "it is good to smoke" and "natural harm reduction". In addition, these advertisements also implicitly reveal that e-cigarettes are not harmful to second-hand smoke and can improve the number of conversations among young people.

　　In this regard, the aforementioned Tsinghua University’s research report also pointed out that in advertising marketing, e-cigarettes are symbolized as consumer goods of the upper class, and represent independent personality and lifestyle. In cultural products, especially TV series and MV, e-cigarettes are associated with cheerful, relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.

　　Relevant data is worthy of vigilance. In May 2019, the survey results released by China Center for Disease Control and Prevention showed that the people who used e-cigarettes were mainly young people, 15-mdash; The use rate of e-cigarettes in the 24-year-old group is 1.5%; The main way to obtain e-cigarettes is the internet; The proportion of people who have heard of e-cigarettes, used e-cigarettes and now use them has increased.

　　The reporter found on video platforms such as bilibili that there are many e-cigarette product evaluation and fancy smoke teaching videos, and many netizens exchanged their experiences and feelings in using e-cigarettes in video comments.

　　In addition to publicity and promotion, due to the lack of standards, the quality problem of e-cigarettes is equally prominent.

　　Mao Qun An, director of the Planning Department of National Health Commission, said that many e-cigarette products contain vague labels of nicotine concentration, which may easily lead to excessive consumption by users. At the same time, there are also safety risks such as battery explosion, smoke liquid penetration, high temperature burns and so on.

　　Strengthen supervision measures

　　Last August, the State Administration of Market Supervision and the State Tobacco Monopoly Bureau jointly issued a circular explicitly prohibiting the sale of e-cigarettes to minors. The latest measures have highlighted the strict requirements for Internet sales and promotion of e-cigarettes.

　　The circular requires that all kinds of market entities should not sell e-cigarettes to minors; Enterprises or individuals producing and selling e-cigarettes are urged to close e-cigarette Internet sales websites or clients in time, e-commerce platforms close e-cigarette shops and take off e-cigarette products in time, and enterprises or individuals producing and selling e-cigarettes withdraw e-cigarette advertisements published through the Internet.

　　At present, many countries in the world have completely banned or strictly restricted the sale of e-cigarettes, and more than 40 countries or regions have explicitly legislated or officially announced the ban on the sale of e-cigarettes.

　　In China, since this year, Shenzhen, Chengdu and other places have also revised the tobacco control regulations to include e-cigarettes in the scope of tobacco control: Shenzhen has clearly expanded the concept of "smoking" to use e-cigarettes and hold other tobacco products that are ignited or heated without burning; Chengdu also explicitly includes smoking electronic cigarettes in smoking behavior, and clearly stipulates that tobacco product operators are prohibited from selling tobacco products to minors; In its rail transit passenger code, Beijing has supplemented the prohibition of smoking electronic cigarettes … …

　　After the unrestrained barbaric growth, e-cigarettes are gradually fading away from the "electronic" stunt, highlighting its "smoke" nature. Yang Tingzhong, director and professor of Tobacco Control Research Center of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, believes that e-cigarettes should not have special status, but should be included in the restrictions of ordinary tobacco, and should be restricted in advertising, marketing and consumption places.

　　In this regard, many experts in the industry have called on the state to increase the research on e-cigarettes, introduce more comprehensive and detailed regulatory measures, and strengthen the protection of minors.

　　Multi-countries strictly control electronic cigarettes

　　■ USA

　　The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently reported that the cumulative number of deaths from lung diseases with unknown etiology and possible association with e-cigarettes has increased to 34. At present, Massachusetts has announced that it will suspend the sale of all electronic cigarette products and electronic cigarette devices, while New York prohibits the sale of scented electronic cigarettes.

　　■ India

　　The Indian government decided that e-cigarettes have reached "popularity" among young people and issued a ban on e-cigarettes in September this year. Those who violate the ban for the first time may be fined about $1,400 or imprisoned for one year, or both, while those who violate it for many times may face up to three years’ imprisonment and a fine of nearly $7,000. The Indian government believes that e-cigarettes are harmful to health and may damage the government’s tobacco control efforts.

　　■ Japan

　　Organizers of Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games announced in February this year that this Olympic Games and Paralympic Games will bid farewell to tobacco products and its derivative substitute "e-cigarette" completely. From this summer, schools, hospitals and government agencies in Tokyo will be banned from smoking indoors; From April next year, restaurants, bars, hotels and other business places will be banned in general, and smoking areas can still be designated.

　　■ Korea

　　South Korea’s Ministry of Health and Welfare recently advised people to stop using atomized e-cigarettes and promised to determine whether the sale of e-cigarettes should be banned as soon as possible. The person in charge of the country’s health department said, "Children, teenagers, pregnant women and patients with lung diseases should never use atomized e-cigarettes." According to Korean government data, as of June this year, e-cigarettes accounted for 13% of the sales in the Korean tobacco market.

　　■ Turkey

　　Turkish President Erdogan said recently that e-cigarette enterprises are not allowed to produce in Turkey, calling on Turks to "replace cigarettes with tea". In 2013, the Turkish government banned all alcohol and tobacco products from advertising, promotion and sponsorship.

　　[Evaluation] It has always played an important role in the market segment of sports compact cars. After the new generation of imported 3 landed in China for more than a year, the domestic version of the car was finally officially listed. This generation of Mazda 3, named Xingyi, is obviously a heavyweight role in this year’s compact car market. After domestic production, can the light and agile driving style of the original imported hatchback be passed down? The following test report will tell you the answer.

● Daily driving experience: Power is not a strong point, and the gearbox is excellent.

　　Power is undoubtedly an important indicator to measure a sports car, which naturally seems a bit behind the trend against the background of T-belt models. The 2.0L top model we tested is still equipped with the familiar Mazda MZR, with a maximum output of 110kW(150 HP)/6,500 rpm and a maximum output of 182 N m/4,500 rpm. It adopts the DOHC overhead double camshaft all-aluminum cylinder structure, and is still equipped with Mazda’s unique S-VT (sequential timing system), VIS (variable system) and electronic control section.

　　However, from the perspective of daily driving, the performance of this 2.0L engine is still very satisfactory. The throttle is still the light feeling of Japanese cars. The engine is slightly gentle at low speed, but fortunately, the engine responds quickly enough to the accelerator pedal. At around 3000rpm, the power can cope with ordinary daily road conditions.

　　When the rotation speed exceeds 4000 rpm, the engine is the real power point, and the continuous torque output can be maintained at about 6000rpm. At high speed, the sound waves of the engine are tuned very sweetly. Coupled with the barrel-shaped instrument panel in front of us and the sports steering wheel on the hand, the sports atmosphere brought by the senses has been put in place.

　　Matching it is a 5-speed automatic manual transmission, which increases a gear compared with the previous generation; "Understanding" is the most obvious advantage of this 5AT. You can easily control the upshift and downshift through the depth of the throttle. Although the response of the gearbox will be slightly hesitant at this time, the smoothness of shifting will not make you complain.

　　The shift paddle under the steering wheel allows you to downshift at any time. At this time, the shift is also crisp and neat, without any sloppiness. Sometimes the number of gears can’t measure the quality of a transmission. Compared with some 6AT gearboxes, the performance of this 5AT gearbox is enough to meet the small intense driving demand.

　　It is worth mentioning that, although in the D gear state, you can complete the downshift through the shift paddle, once you slightly loosen the throttle, the gearbox will quickly enter the automatic mode; Only when the gearbox lever is turned to the left to enter the pure manual mode will the gearbox fully obey your instructions.

　　Mazda 3 Star, which is made in Mazda, completely continues the powertrain of the imported hatchback version. The 2.0L model has a 5-speed automatic manual transmission and 6-speed two different combinations. Obviously, the two models are aimed at different groups of people. The 6MT gearbox with tight gear ratio is undoubtedly specially prepared for those who are keen on modification, while the 5AT model is more oriented to those fashionable young elites.

　
The structure is similar to that of the previous generation.

　　As a replacement model, Mazda’s 3-star and suspension structure has not changed much compared with the previous generation model, which was highly praised for its handling. Does this mean that its handling and suspension have not improved? After a few days of testing, I also have the answer in my heart. More interesting suspension and control are the biggest selling points of this generation of Mazda 3.

　　Mazda 3 Star has basically continued the front and rear suspension structure of the previous generation model, only slightly improved the rubber bushing, the front and rear stabilizer bar and the rear suspension center beam, but the overall adjustment style is more radical than that of the previous generation model.

　　The suspension stroke is very short. With the help of the shock absorber, the four tires can always hold the ground, and the vehicle can naturally have a higher limit in the corner. Compared with the imported version, the stiffness of the suspension has converged, but it can still provide sufficient support when cornering, and the comfort has also improved when passing through some deceleration hurdles or large road undulations, so that passengers sitting in the back row will not be too painful to "bump".

　　The steering of SINOVA is my favorite. The compact steering wheel is very handy, and the electric feel and feedback are very comfortable. Every movement you make on the steering wheel will be directly and accurately responded by the car body. What is commendable is that the steering wheel used has not lost the sense of road, and the information on the road can still be directly transmitted to the driver through the steering wheel. In addition, the feeling of braking is also very good, the braking force is very linear, and there are not many empty positions in the front section, which can give people more confidence in corners.

The dispute between Evergrande and FF was written into the US 301 investigation, Baoneng set up a new energy technology company, and the retail operation will complete 2.5 billion yuan of financing. The Weimar power battery project started, Tucki signed contracts with NVIDIA and Desai Siwei, Singularity will develop autonomous driving on the NVIDIA platform, Song Haijian will work for Sailin, ES6 will be launched in December, and the production version of Aichi U5 will be unveiled soon.

The dispute between Evergrande and FF was written into the US 301 investigation.

A few days ago, the Office of the US Trade Representative released the latest update information of the 301 investigation report, and the investment dispute between FF and Evergrande was impressively listed.

The US listed FF as a case of intellectual property theft, and the document described in detail Evergrande Xu Jiayin’s plan to introduce the world’s top technology into China by investing $2 billion to acquire 45% equity and controlling FF.

The report quoted Evergrande’s latest semi-annual report as saying that the semi-annual report listed the situation of FF and its great significance to Evergrande’s diversified operation, and emphasized that FF operating in China and the United States had obtained 380 patents.

According to the report, in view of the competitive relationship between FF and, and the operation of the car involves 380 patented technologies, this will greatly enhance China’s core competitiveness in automobile engines.

The report also specifically mentions the recent dispute between Evergrande and FF. After Evergrande injected the first payment of $800 million into FF, the two sides fell into a struggle. FF believes that Evergrande’s refusal to pay has caused the company’s financial dilemma, and its real purpose is to control FF’s ownership.

As for the contents stated in the report, according to the sources close to Evergrande, Evergrande’s investment in FF is purely commercial, and it was submitted for approval according to the relevant legal procedures in the United States.

Baoneng establishes new energy technology company.

Recently, Shenzhen Hongpeng New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. was incorporated with a registered capital of 3 billion yuan.

According to the public information of Shenzhen Municipal Market Supervision Administration, among the registered capital, Baoneng Group subscribed 2.97 billion yuan, accounting for 99% of the shares, and Shenzhen Baoneng Logistics Co., Ltd., the holding company of Baoneng Group, subscribed 30 million yuan, holding 1% of the shares.

Zero Run will complete 2.5 billion yuan financing.

A few days ago, Zero Run Auto reported that it planned to complete the 2.5 billion yuan Series A financing. At present, this round of financing has reached nearly 2 billion yuan. The A round of financing was led by Shanghai Electric Group Co., Ltd., followed by Sequoia Capital and Industrial Securities.

Zhu Jiangming, founder and chairman of Zero Run Auto, said that in the A-1 round of financing that has been completed, except for the old shareholder Sequoia Capital, all the other investors are investing in domestic new car-making forces for the first time.
