Tank brands are constantly pushing new cars, while constantly updating existing models. For example, there are already several versions of 2.0T and 3.0T V6 fuel and 2.0T Hi4-T blended. This time, the diesel version that many people expect appears on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology together with the new 2.0T gasoline version. Let’s take a look at the differences between this new car.

From the appearance, it has not changed much, and it is still a classic square box shape. The front of the car is a rectangular air intake grille with retro round lights. The front bumper is wide and strong, and there are many styles to choose from. In addition, an electric winch can be installed, and the cover is raised. The whole front face is quite tough.

The sides are straight and square, the front and rear wheel covers are decorated in black, and the convex design is made to enhance the off-road atmosphere. The vehicle adopts a non-load-bearing body structure with high ground clearance, and the sides are equipped with pedals and 17 and 18-inch wheels. There are three 6-spoke styles to choose from, and tyre size is 265/65R17 and 265/60R18.

The rear of the car adopts the design of side-opening tailgate+external full-size spare tire. The taillights are arranged vertically, and the rear bumper is also very strong. It is equipped with two trailer hooks, providing 750 kg (without braking) and 2500 kg (with braking) towing qualification. The trailer square hole and electric connector can be installed optionally. The new car supports the optional roof rack, and the skylight for many people is also optional, which is worthy of recognition.

The length of the car is 4750(4775) mm, the width of the car is 1930 mm, the height is 1903(1927) mm, and the wheelbase is 2750 mm. The size is small and the wheelbase is moderate. This size cooperates with the non-load-bearing body structure and can have good passability. The approach angle of the new car is 33 degrees, and the maximum departure angle is 34(30) degrees, which is the same as that of the cash.

Equipped with a 2.4T diesel engine, the maximum power is 137 kW (186 HP). This powertrain is actually not unfamiliar in Great Wall’s product system, except that it is equipped on a tank model for the first time. Referring to the powertrain of Great Wall pickup truck, the peak torque of this engine should be 480 Nm, and the torque will come faster by adopting the variable cross-section turbine technology. The transmission system should also be matched with the 9AT gearbox developed by Great Wall and the part-time 4wd system.

The shape and dimensions of the new 2.0T gasoline version are the same as those of the diesel version, but the powertrain has changed. The maximum power of the 2.0T engine is 167 kW (227 HP), and the peak torque is 387 Nm, which matches the 8AT gearbox from ZF.

In terms of chassis suspension, both models are front and rear multi-link integral bridge non-independent suspensions, and it is expected that front and rear axle differential locks will be provided.

The interior of the new tank 300 has also been adjusted. According to the spy photos exposed before, the interior of the new model has abandoned the current dual-screen design and replaced it with a full LCD instrument and a large-size floating central control panel. The air outlet of the air conditioner is still in a round style. A large number of physical buttons and knobs are retained in the car, and the cash gear handle is cancelled, which should be replaced with a bosom gear.

Other parts haven’t changed much. The steering wheel has been changed into a double-spoke style. Off-road handles are still provided above the left and right A-pillars and the passenger glove box, and the materials for the interior are kept at the current level.

The advantages of diesel vehicles are low fuel consumption and large torque, especially at low speed. Coupled with the variable cross-section turbine technology, the torque will break out faster and earlier, and the power will be more abundant. It will also have more advantages for vehicle control in some extreme road conditions, but the disadvantages are also obvious. Adding urea will make noise and jitter. However, in general, diesel power will give consumers one more choice, and some consumers will always have this demand.

The biodiesel industry, with outstanding comprehensive benefits and high hopes from all sides, is encountering unprecedented development difficulties. Why does an industry with unlimited potential and should be developed greatly become so bleak?

Biodiesel is a renewable liquid fuel produced from waste oils and oil crops such as waste cooking oil. It has the characteristics of high cetane number, non-toxicity, low sulfur, biodegradability and no aromatic hydrocarbon. It can be mixed with petrochemical diesel oil or directly replaced, and is a typical green renewable energy. Therefore, countries all over the world take biodiesel as one of the important directions of new energy development.

In China, developing biodiesel has the special value of "killing two birds with one stone". Because "gutter oil" can be used as a raw material for biodiesel production, proper treatment can effectively control the stubborn disease of "gutter oil" returning to the table. In view of this, from the central high-level decision-makers to the current legal policy documents, they all take a positive attitude and explicitly encourage its development.

China’s biodiesel industry has entered the fast lane of development since 2004, with a peak capacity of 3.5 million tons/year. However, according to a survey conducted by a reporter from China Energy News, at present, nearly 90% of biodiesel production enterprises are stopping production or closing down, and the actual annual output is less than 600,000 tons. Correspondingly, China’s annual production of "gutter oil" and other waste oil raw materials resources totals more than 10 million tons. Why does an industry with unlimited potential and should be developed greatly become so bleak?

Out-of-control "gutter oil"

At the beginning of 2014, Yunnan Yingding Bioenergy Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yunnan Yingding"), a private biodiesel producer, filed a lawsuit against Sinopec and Sinopec’s Yunnan branch, because the latter refused to trade the biodiesel produced by the former with "waste oil". Once the news came out, it caused widespread concern in society. This "first oil antitrust case" which lasted for nearly three years but has not been closed clearly reflects the current development status of biodiesel distress in China.

While the development of biodiesel is blocked, its raw material "waste oil" is getting out of control.

It is estimated that China produces about 4 million tons of "gutter oil" and 6.8 million tons of other waste oils every year. According to the survey report of China Petrochemical Federation, according to incomplete statistics, the amount of "gutter oil" collected and utilized in China is about 2.4-3 million tons/year, of which only about 700,000 tons are used to produce biodiesel (an average of 1.2 tons of gutter oil can produce 1 ton of biodiesel), and some of them are used in leather processing, daily chemical washing and other industries, and the rest are unknown.

Due to the frequent circulation of "gutter oil" across provinces, it is difficult to supervise, and illegal activities such as cooking oil produced by "gutter oil" and feed oil produced by "hogwash fat" have been repeatedly banned. In recent years, relevant cases have been reported frequently, and the health and safety hazards caused by this have become the focus of attention of the whole society.

Just as the "First Case of Petroleum Antimonopoly", which has attracted the attention of the central authorities and passed the second trial of Yunnan High Court, is still inconclusive, and it seems that the case is far from being closed, at the same time, due to a large number of enterprises being forced to stop production, it once rushed to the biodiesel production capacity of 3.5 million tons/year, and now the output has slipped to less than 600,000 tons/year. During this period, no one knows how much of the "waste oil" that was once "burned" has returned to the table.

Biodiesel: the bane of "gutter oil"

"It is an urgent task for the central and local government departments to seek ways to effectively control the return of’ gutter oil’ to the table. Ma Kai, Deputy Prime Minister of the State Council, recently made three consecutive important instructions on biodiesel, which shows that the central level attaches great importance to it. " Wu Ping, deputy director of the Law and Governance Research Office of the Institute of Resources and Environmental Policy of the State Council Development Research Center, said in an interview with the reporter of China Energy News.

After a series of investigations, the Institute of Resources and Environmental Policy of the State Council Development Research Center and China Petrochemical Federation unanimously affirmed the prospect of biodiesel in their respective reports submitted to the State Council, emphasizing that China should, as always, vigorously promote the development of biodiesel industry.

According to the reporter’s understanding, Vice Premier Ma Kai also clearly stated in his instruction document that "it is of great significance to produce biodiesel from waste oil, and the development of biodiesel industry should be supported".

Zhu Jianjun, director of the Industrial Research Division of the Industrial Development Department of China Petrochemical Federation, bluntly said in an interview that biodiesel can be mixed with petrochemical diesel in any proportion, which can realize the centralized and large-scale utilization of waste oils such as "gutter oil" and is the best choice to prevent gutter oil from returning to the table and turn it into treasure.

It is worth noting that the added value of biodiesel does not stop there.

According to the research report of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, at present, although diesel vehicles only account for 14.1% of the car ownership, their NOX and particulate emissions account for more than 69.2% and 99% of the total vehicle emissions. Solving the pollution and emission problem of diesel vehicles has also become a top priority.

Because the environmental performance of biodiesel is better than that of petrochemical diesel. "In the long run, it is of great significance to promote biodiesel on a large scale and ensure the continuous and stable supply of biodiesel raw materials by planting oil crops, which is of great significance for increasing the proportion of renewable energy and controlling air pollution." Wu Ping said.

Dilemma: legal products are sold illegally, and high-quality products are sold at low prices.

According to the information held by reporters, China has the basic conditions to accelerate the popularization and application of biodiesel under the background of high-level attention and support, complete current policy and legal documents, positive response from local governments and mature technical conditions of biodiesel.

Statistics show that in 2015, China’s diesel consumption reached 204 million tons, and it is expected to reach 221 million tons in 2020. In an interview with reporters, Lu Bo, chairman of the National Biodiesel Industry Alliance and chairman of Yunnan Yingding, pointed out that if only 2% biodiesel is blended into petrochemical diesel for sale, it will be enough to digest the current biodiesel production capacity.

However, it is worth noting that in the past two years, due to the oversupply of domestic diesel market and the limited understanding of biodiesel by oil sales enterprises, it is still difficult for biodiesel to enter the oil sales system smoothly according to law, although there are laws and policies that expressly protect it.

The above report of the State Council Development Research Center pointed out that although China’s current Renewable Energy Law and other documents have made relevant provisions on the sale of biodiesel blended with petrochemical diesel, the current policy has no mandatory explicit provisions and related restraint mechanisms, and there are no operational measures, resulting in both the National Standard for Biodiesel Blended Fuel (B5) and the National Standard for Biodiesel Blended with Diesel Fuel (BD100) becoming mere formality. In recent years, the pilot projects actively promoted by local governments have also failed to coordinate the acceptance of biodiesel by refined oil sales enterprises.

A typical example is Yunnan. In 2012, the provincial government issued the "Guiding Opinions on Doing a Good Job in Making Biodiesel from Waste Oil" (document No.46 [2012] of Yun Zhengban), proposing that Kunming should be identified as a demonstration city for the application of biodiesel from waste oil in this province, and this work should be included in the post target responsibility system of the state (city), county (city, district) and included in the performance appraisal system. This opinion is the earliest and most comprehensive guidance for the development of biodiesel industry from waste oil in China. However, it has not been implemented since it has been issued for nearly five years because it is impossible to coordinate the refined oil sales enterprises of central enterprises.

The production scale of biodiesel enterprises in China is generally small, and it is difficult to obtain the qualification of wholesale and retail of refined oil according to the current relevant management regulations. There is even a saying in the industry that "it takes 180 chapters to get the qualification", in addition to huge investment in infrastructure construction. In this context, "illegal sale of legal products" and "low price sale of high-quality products" have become a distorted portrayal of the current biodiesel trade.

Li Dingjie, the industrial development department of China Petrochemical Federation, who has been paying attention to the biodiesel industry for a long time and participated in the above research, pointed out that biodiesel also experienced a period of "making big money" when oil prices were high in the previous two years. Nowadays, the oil price has been running at a low level for a long time, and it is not easy for oil sales enterprises to cope with the impact of the inferior oil market and desperately maintain their market share of petrochemical oil products. "In this case, it is not surprising that biodiesel enterprises are generally caught in serious losses and even forced to stop production or close down."

Breaking the game: government-led, closed pilot

Experts interviewed by the reporter agreed that it is the most realistic, feasible and convenient way to open up biodiesel sales by leveraging the existing huge refined oil sales system.

From the development experience of foreign countries, the FAO report shows that the global biodiesel production (mainly in America and Europe) has reached nearly 27 million tons in 2015, and it is expected to reach 33.6 million tons in 2025, and the main raw materials for production are oil forest crops. Forced blending is the main means to promote the development of biodiesel industry in various countries.

According to the research report of the State Council Development Research Center, up to now, the mandatory blending of biofuels has been implemented in more than 30 countries, and it is generally required in all countries that petrochemical diesel oil must be blended with a certain proportion of biodiesel before it can be sold.

"Ensuring the safety of the table and preventing air pollution cannot rely solely on marketization. In order to realize the’ legal sale of legal products’ of biodiesel in China, we must learn from foreign experience, establish a coordination mechanism at the national level, and give appropriate policy inclinations and forced strong promotion. " Lu Bo stressed.

The experts interviewed unanimously suggested that a closed demonstration zone for the promotion and application of biodiesel should be set up as soon as possible, and it is a pragmatic solution to choose local areas for compulsory promotion.

In Wu Ping’s view, Yunnan, Henan, Shandong and Chongqing all have the basic conditions to develop biodiesel industry, which can be promoted as a pilot. "For example, Yunnan can give full play to the advantages of planting oil forest crops on a large scale, and at the same time, it can also make use of the resource conditions of the China-Myanmar pipeline and the Yunnan refinery of PetroChina; The successful experience of closed promotion of ethanol gasoline in Henan and the industrial base of biodiesel; Shandong can give play to the advantages of existing petrochemical refineries; Chongqing has a large consumption of marine oil, which can give full play to the advantages of rich and accessible hot pot oil and protect the ecological environment of the Yangtze River Basin from the source. "

"The return of’ gutter oil’ to the table involves people’s livelihood. As an effective solution, biodiesel should first emphasize its people’s livelihood value, instead of simply treating it as an ordinary economic problem. Petroleum and petrochemical central enterprises should start from the perspective of taking social responsibility and establishing the image of central enterprises, eliminate concerns as soon as possible, unify their understanding, play a leading role, correctly guide and actively participate in promoting the development of biodiesel industry." Xu Xiaodong, former director of the research office of the National People’s Congress Environmental Appearance Committee and special researcher of the State Council Counselor’s Office, said.

Not only that, Chinese consumers have low awareness of energy conservation and emission reduction, and there is no hard pressure to reduce emissions. Although the pace of upgrading refined oil products in China has accelerated, consumers are reluctant to use high-standard petrochemical oil because of its high price, which leads to the high-standard oil produced by oil central enterprises spending huge sums of money to upgrade and transform, which is "difficult to enter the market" and difficult to solve in the short term. In Lu Bo’s view, the central enterprises actively promoting the closed pilot of biodiesel will help petrochemical high-standard diesel to be gradually accepted by the market, thus solving the problem of delisting inferior oil, and at the same time it is more conducive to government supervision, which can be described as "killing more birds with one stone".

"In order to remove the obstacle that inferior and low-quality oil will not be delisted, we must take the road of government compulsion, central enterprises leading and cooperation between the state and the people, and implement the compulsory blending of qualified biodiesel in high-standard oil in the demonstration area to meet the requirements of oil upgrading and emission standards." Lu Bo thinks.

Zhu Jianjun also pointed out in particular that the government should strengthen the supervision of the flow of "gutter oil" and completely cut off the channel of "gutter oil" returning to the dining table. "Affected by living habits, the amount of raw materials for’ gutter oil’ in various places is basically stable. As long as the flow supervision is in place, the price of raw materials can also be reduced, which can greatly improve the economy of the biodiesel industry."

Wonderful comments

The "stone" of other mountains can attack "jade"

"Waste oil" has long been a stubborn disease that is difficult to cure in the country. In fact, "gutter oil" can completely turn waste into treasure and harm into treasure, and making it into biodiesel is recognized as the best way.

Moreover, biodiesel has been paid attention to by countries all over the world because of its superior advantages of renewable, clean and safe, and thus has been developed vigorously. This can be seen from the global biodiesel production capacity of nearly 27 million tons/year, and the annual growth rate of 26.5% for more than 10 years.

In the author’s investigation and interview, it is generally believed that in China, it is more meaningful to vigorously develop the biodiesel industry. It can not only effectively solve the problem of "gutter oil" returning to the dining table, which is controversial and difficult to supervise, but also effectively solve the problem of "delisting" of petrochemical low-grade and inferior oil, and promote the "entry" of high-standard oil, which is also of great significance to the prevention and control of air pollution and the optimization of energy structure in China.

In fact, at present, whether it is to solve the problem of "gutter oil" returning to the table or to control air pollution, it has become an important livelihood issue that governments at all levels need to focus on. From this point of view, the importance of vigorously developing biodiesel industry cannot be overemphasized. This also determines that the development of biodiesel industry can not be driven by marketization alone, and it can not be simply regarded as an ordinary economic problem.

Stones from other mountains can attack jade. At present, the biodiesel industry, which occupies the moral highland of "green development", has a strong development momentum all over the world. According to research data, it is estimated that the total production capacity of biodiesel in the world will reach 33.6 million tons in 2025. In recent years, the successful experience of more than 30 countries around the world shows that the rapid development of biodiesel industry can not be separated from the strong support of governments. Among them, compulsory mixing and necessary fiscal and tax support are indispensable and important driving forces.

Countries not only use biodiesel blended oil as the mainstream means of emission reduction, but also generally require that petrochemical diesel oil without biodiesel be banned from entering the market.

O If the United States stipulates that the blending ratio of biodiesel in ordinary diesel is 10-20%, subsidies and tax incentives will be adopted for biodiesel, and the tax rate will be zero;

O France has set a target of 10% for biofuels in total fuel sales in 2015;

O Brazil requires at least 7% biodiesel to be added to all diesel sold in 2014, and plans to gradually increase it to 10% in the next three years;

O At present, the proportion of biodiesel blended in Bulgaria is 8%, and it is planned to reach 10% by 2020;

O At present, the proportion of biodiesel added in Korea is 2.5%, and the production of biodiesel is tax-free;

O Malaysia began to enforce B5 biodiesel in 2012, and the blending ratio is currently 7%, and it is planned to increase to 10%;

O Indonesia is gradually implementing the biodiesel blending ratio of 15% and plans to increase it to 20%.

O In addition, the European Union provides a consumption subsidy of 0.39 euros per liter of biodiesel, among which Italy, Spain, Sweden and other countries have completely abolished the consumption tax on biodiesel … and so on, so I don’t need to go into details.

As mentioned above, the primary significance of developing biodiesel industry is that it can effectively utilize more than 4 million tons of "gutter oil" and about 7 million tons of waste oil in China every year. If the development of biodiesel industry can make people’s "dining table" safer and help enterprises establish a responsible image of environmental protection, why not invest heavily in the development of biodiesel for enterprises?

As experts have said, the state should increase its support for the biodiesel industry from the perspective of controlling "gutter oil" or smog. As long as the policies and regulations are implemented in place and the measures are appropriate, the biodiesel industry will get rid of the current development constraints, just like the "biodiesel fever" a few years ago.

In view of the current difficulties faced by the biodiesel industry, such as experts’ suggestions, it has become a top priority to introduce mandatory blending policies and fiscal and taxation support policies at the national level, and "break through as soon as possible, select mature Yunnan, Henan, Shandong, Chongqing and other places for pilot projects and set up closed demonstration zones for biodiesel popularization and application".

As a green, clean and low-carbon renewable fuel, the healthy development of biodiesel industry is unanimously regarded as beneficial to the country and the people. It is reasonable to believe that as long as we dare to break the restricted area, we can not only consider the overall situation of national health, but also start with the small construction of demonstration areas. The successful experience of "the stone from other mountains" will inevitably push China biodiesel industry out of the current predicament.

On June 23rd, Beijing time, it was reported that the son of Tesla CEO Elon Musk was not only transsexual, but also broke off relations with his father, which sounded strange. However, there is an old saying in China that "like father, like son". Perhaps you are not surprised to see Musk’s chaotic private life.

Musk’s repeated divorce is obviously unfavorable to the child’s growth, which may affect the child’s personality.

Musk currently has seven children and has been divorced three times, including one divorce, remarriage and then divorce. He and Canadian singer Grimes are now in a "semi-separated" state, and they are raising two children together. However, Musk was unwilling to be lonely and fell in love with a Hollywood actress.

Let’s take a look at Musk’s chaotic private life:

In 1971, Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa. There are three children in the family. He is the eldest son. His mother, Maye Musk, is a Canadian model who once appeared on the cover of Time magazine. At the age of 69, she became the spokesperson for the cover girl of a famous American makeup brand. His father, Errol Musk, is an engineer.

Musk once told Rolling Stone that he had struggled with loneliness since he was a child. "When I was a child, I said one thing," Musk said, "‘ I never want to be alone. ’”

On the whole, Musk’s childhood life was not satisfactory. He was bullied mercilessly at school, and even was hospitalized because the abuser pushed him down the stairs. In about 1979, shortly after his parents divorced, Musk went to live with his father errol. Musk said that their relationship has now alienated.

Musk’s relationship with his younger brother Kimbal and his younger sister Tosca still seems to be very close. All of Musk’s brothers and sisters seem to have entrepreneurial characteristics: Kimbarl tries to make the food industry more sustainable and healthier, while Tosca has launched Passionflix, a love movie network.

The relationship between Musk and his mother also seems to be very good. It is reported that he gave Meyer a green Tesla. Meyer moved to California in 2013 to be closer to her children and grandchildren.

He met his first wife, Justine Wilson, at Queens University in Ontario, Canada. Wilson once recalled in the women’s magazine "Jia Ren" that Musk invited her out to eat ice cream. Although she decided to stay at home and study, Musk appeared. "There are two chocolate bean ice cream cones in his hand, and ice cream is dripping on his hand."

Then Musk went to wharton school to study, but he kept sending roses to Wilson.

Later, they went their separate ways, but when Musk started his first company and Wilson started writing her first novel after graduation, they got in touch again. Wilson said that Musk pursued her and gave her a credit card to buy as many books as she wanted. They got married in 2000.

They moved to Los Angeles and gave birth to a son named Nevada, but unfortunately died of sudden infant death syndrome. They finally gave birth to twins and triplets, a total of five children. In 2010, Musk called his children "the love of my life".

The two divorced in 2008. After the divorce, the tech tycoon started dating the actress Talulah Riley.

Although Musk and his first wife gradually drifted apart, Justin wrote in Jiaren magazine that she and Riley finally got along well. She even emailed her ex-husband’s girlfriend and said, "I’d rather live the French film version." The two women became friends and thought about various philosophies. "

Riley and Musk got married in 2010. Two years later, the news of their divorce was made public. At that time, Musk said to Riley on Twitter: "This is an amazing four years. I will love you forever. One day you will make others very happy. "

The two remarried in 2013. Musk applied for a second divorce in the second year, and then withdrew.

In 2016, Riley applied for divorce from Musk and decided to divorce at the end of that year. However, the relationship between the two is still very good, and Riley even appeared in an exclusive interview with Musk in Rolling Stone magazine. "We still meet often and take care of each other." She said.

In 2016, Musk started dating actress Amber Heard, but broke up a year later because of the tight schedule.

Musk commented on an Instagram post by Hilde that he and his predecessor "are still friends, close and in love with each other," adding, "Who knows what will happen in the future." He later told Rolling Stone magazine: "I really love her, which hurts me."

In May 2018, Musk and Canadian musician Grimes attended the annual Fashion Institute Celebration held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.. At that time, Page Six reported that the two had been "quietly dating" for several weeks.

Grimes and Musk met through Twitter. Musk had intended to make a joke about artificial intelligence, especially about her role as Rococo basilisk in the music video of "Bloody Meat", but found that she had already taken the lead.

Musk later told The Wall Street Journal that he liked Grimes’s "wild artistic creativity and serious work ethic".

In September 2018, Musk smoked marijuana while participating in the live webcast of American comedian Joe Rogan, which caused controversy. Musk seems to have a soft spot for marijuana culture. He said in 2018 that he was going to privatize Tesla for $420 per share. The number 420 is widely regarded as the code name for smoking marijuana. In April 2022, Musk proposed to acquire Twitter for $54.20 per share, which also included 420.

In January 2020, Grimes posted a photo on her Instagram and Twitter accounts that appeared to be pregnant. Later, she confirmed that she was pregnant with Musk’s child.

On May 4th, 2020, Musk announced the birth of their son. He and Grimes named him "XA-XII Musk", which seems to be pronounced "X Ash A-12". "Mother and child are safe." Musk wrote on Twitter.

In December of the same year, Musk said that he moved to Texas after several months of struggle with California’s epidemic prevention and control measures. Grimes and his baby X seem to have moved together. In March of that year, he shared a family photo taken near SpaceX facilities in southern Texas.

But in September 2021, Musk told Page Six that he and Grimes had broken up. Musk explained at the time: "Mainly because my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to stay in Texas or travel overseas most of the time, and her work is mainly in Los Angeles."

In March 2022, Grimes revealed in an interview with Vanity Fair that they secretly gave birth to a girl named Ayxa SiderlMusk through surrogacy.

Grimes explained that "Exa" refers to the supercomputer term "Exaflops", "Dark" stands for unknown factors, and "Sider?l" is the elvish spelling of stars, which means "the real time of the universe". Grimes and Musk called her Y for short.

Grimes told Vanity Fair that she and Musk are not getting back together, and their relationship is "very unstable", but they plan to have more children.

However, Musk seems to have a new love.In February of this year, Musk was photographed getting out of his private jet with Australian actress Natasha Bassett. It is said that the two have been secretly dating for several months.

In April this year, Musk’s 18-year-old transgender son applied for a legal name change to confirm his "female" gender identity and sever relations with Musk. In her application, she wrote that she no longer lives with her biological father and does not want to "have any relationship with her biological father".

　　Shark fright

　　Fifteen hours after falling into the sea, he met a more terrible underwater creature — — Sharks. "I thought it was barracuda at first, but later I found out it was a shark the size of a red bus in London." He said. "My first thought was ‘ It will eat me ’ 。”

　　Fortunately, archibald noticed that it was a reef shark, and it did not pose a threat to human beings.

　　Guangzhou Daily News According to the BBC, archibald, a South African man, escaped the serial attacks of seagulls and sharks after he fell into the sea on a stormy night in the Indian Ocean. He survived for 28 hours and was lucky to be rescued. Now, three years after the incident, archibald will still tremble when he goes to the seaside. However, he still called the sea a "happy place".

　　When Bu archibald fell into the sea on a stormy night in the Indian Ocean, he thought he would die. During the 28 hours he struggled alone at sea, he met a shark and was attacked by seagulls, but he survived. Recently, archibald told the media about his adventure of falling into the sea for the first time.

　　Survive by unique breaststroke

　　In April 2013, archibald, then 50 years old, and nine friends rented a boat to spend a holiday at sea near the Indonesian coast. In the early morning of 17th, there was a storm in the Indian Ocean, and archibald on the top deck was accidentally thrown into the sea. When he woke up, he had drifted 15 meters away from the ship. "I watched the lights of the boat disappear, and I screamed as hard as I could, but I soon realized that they would never hear my voice." He said. "I tried my best to swim, but I couldn’t catch the boat."

　　Watching the ship go further and further, archibald understood that he had to overcome all difficulties on his own. Archibald likes surfing and swimming, and he knows that he should take a deep breath to prevent the sudden waves from driving him to the bottom of the sea. A few hours later, his limbs began to cramp, and he could only repeat his favorite books and CDs in his mind to divert his attention.

　　Relying on the breaststroke method invented by himself, archibald kept his head floating on the water. But with the invasion of drowsiness, he fell asleep until the seagulls woke him up. "The seagulls pecked at my forehead, and I looked up to see what was attacking me, and the seagulls began pecking at my face," he said. "Blood started running down my nose, and I seemed to be hit by a baseball bat." Later, he drove away the two attackers.

　　After floating in the water for another 13 hours, archibald was finally discovered by his companions. At this time, he was 20 kilometers away from the place where he fell into the sea. After seeing that he didn’t have breakfast, his friends contacted the Indonesian Coast Guard and the surrounding ships and started the search and rescue work.

　　On the morning of 18th, a ship found archibald in the water. Miraculously, he is still alive, but his eyes are swollen and there is almost no blood on his feet, lips and hands.

　　After waking up, archibald said that it was his concern for his wife and two children that got him through this. (Linxi)

speed up apply the brakes oil consumption second rice rise Car sales are responsible! Test the new Passat 330TSI Evaluation Editor-Sheng Yuanjun:

The power performance of Passat 330TSI(1.8T) model is very decent, and the throttle response is not as sensitive as that of 2.0T model. Although it may not feel strong enough, the power is not weak in essence. For those friends who have a calm driving style, 1.8T is even more pleasing than 2.0T. In addition, the DCC chassis function provided by the car is a bright spot, which obviously improves the pleasure of driving. In short, if you want to buy a Passat representative, a model with balanced performance in all aspects and moderate price, the 1.8T model is definitely the first choice.

Evaluation Editor-Qi Zixin:

As Passat’s best-selling displacement, the 1.8T model is a balanced one. The performance of the new generation EA888 engine has been improved, which will help improve Passat’s competitiveness. Large space, adequate configuration, good performance and stable appearance all meet the needs of consumers in China. In my eyes, he doesn’t have any outstanding highlights, but he also has no shortcomings. He has achieved a sales volume of 200,000 vehicles a year and will have excellent market performance compared with the new models. For those who want to buy a medium-sized car that can take care of both home and business, buying a Passat is an infallible choice.

Evaluation Editor-Huang Zhengqiao:

The well-known name Passat has given SAIC Volkswagen too much confidence, so they are not going to change into the latest MQB platform, but still adjust the appearance of the existing models and sell them for a few years. In all fairness, the driving quality of Passat equipped with the third-generation EA888 1.8TSI engine is not outstanding. The gearbox at low and medium speeds has a certain setback, and the power output is not as smooth as that of 2.0t. If the budget is sufficient, I would still recommend you to choose the 2.0TSI model.

For people who need to cook every day, no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, as long as the kitchen door is closed, the stuffy kitchen environment is simply a kind of "suffering"! Many people have also thought about whether to install air conditioning in the kitchen, but the following questions have also become a problem: how large a kitchen can be equipped with central air conditioning? Oil fume will adhere to the surface and inside of the air conditioner. Will it be difficult to clean after a long time, or even the air conditioner will break down easily? Will the kitchen water vapor remain in the air conditioner? Will the wind blown by the air conditioner blow out the open flame on the stove? Will it be troublesome to clean later?

In fact, in view of these problems encountered in the kitchen, Daikin has a central air conditioner specially designed for the kitchen — Embedded air conditioner used in Daikin High Durable Kitchen. Is this air conditioner good or not? What special points should be paid attention to in kitchen air conditioning? Daikin air conditioner tells you the answer.

I. Applicable space

The embedded indoor unit specially designed and developed for the kitchen with Daikin high durability can correspond to a space of 8-10 square meters at most (suitable for most kitchens). The size of this machine is only 600*600, and it is made of bright and clean white magnolia panels, which are embedded in the ceiling and integrated with the interior.

Considering the limited space in the kitchen ceiling, the panel is equipped with long-life LED lights, which can solve the lighting problem in the kitchen. Make the interior fit more convenient and optimize the ceiling space of the kitchen.

Second, the oil fume problem

The most common thing in the kitchen is oil smoke. No matter whether it is the cabinet/countertop, we should choose materials that are easy to clean. The appliances in the kitchen should have the function of preventing oil pollution and improve the service life of the machine. The embedded air conditioner used in Daikin High Durable Kitchen has its own "coup".

1. Oil stain resistant panel, oil fume is not easy to attach.

In order to prevent kitchen fume from adhering to the panel on the surface of air conditioner, the panel of embedded air conditioner for Daikin high durability kitchen is made of oil-resistant material, and the surface is coated with oil-resistant paint, which makes oil pollution difficult to adhere (similar to lotus leaf effect). When cleaning at ordinary times, just wipe it with warm water, which is very convenient.

2. Reasonable fin design to reduce oil fume adhesion.

In general air conditioners, the fin spacing is relatively dense, which makes the surface of the window uneven, and it is not easy to clean the oil fume attached to it. However, Daikin, a special air conditioner for kitchen, adopts special heat exchange fin design, with smooth surface and wide spacing, which can prevent oil accumulation.

3. Professional mildew-proof oil drain filter screen, effectively isolating lampblack.

In order to minimize the damage of oil smoke to the unit, Daikin kitchen air conditioner uses the highest grade mildew-proof and moisture-proof filter screen (testing institution: Guangdong Microbiological Analysis and Testing Center; The test strains are Aspergillus Niger, Aspergillus terrestris and Aureobasidium pullulans). There is not only one professional filter, but also a double-layer professional filter and a double-layer peace of mind protection. Horizontal and vertical alternate structure, double-layer cross structure, there is no escape for oil fume, and the oil fume capture rate is over 95% (the internal test value of Daikin).

This filter needs to be replaced. Generally, it is used in the kitchen with high fumes, and the replacement period is about one and a half years. Because of the design of the lower manhole, it is equally convenient to replace the filter.

Third, the water vapor problem

In addition to the kitchen fumes, water vapor is also one of the troubles of many families. Especially for families who like cooking, there is still a lot of water vapor produced. In order to keep the air conditioning body dry and hygienic, this kitchen air conditioner is also equipped with Daikin’s unique magic three-tube technology and double heat exchange double electronic expansion valve. After the refrigeration, the magic third pipe can recover the heat of the outdoor unit and guide it back to the machine, which can remove the residual water vapor in the equipment and keep the machine dry and hygienic.

Fourth, the open flame problem

There are also range hoods and stoves in the kitchen, and the cold air is easily sucked away by the range hoods or blows out the fire of the stoves. The embedded indoor unit for Daikin high-durability kitchen adopts the form of humanized directional air supply. The equipment is placed more than 1 meter away from the stove, and the air outlet does not blow directly to the open flame, but supplies air through the side. In addition, the louvers are automatically supplied with air at 0-90 degrees, and the angle can be adjusted, so people can still be taken care of, and a cool and comfortable experience can be directly felt when cooking.

V. Post-maintenance issues

After nearly 1000 tests in Daikin Laboratory, the size of the indoor unit is 640mm*640mm, that is to say, only four 300mm*300mm gusset plates are needed. The design of the lower access port makes the disassembly and cleaning effortless, and the cleaning can be easily completed just by opening the panel.

In order to truly appreciate the fun brought by cooking at home, it is really necessary to install a kitchen air conditioner at home. Daikin air conditioner has a history of air conditioning research and development for nearly a hundred years, and Daikin air conditioner is safe and worry-free!

　　In our life, counterfeiting is a topic that is often discussed. In the era of mobile Internet, how should we fight against counterfeiting? The answer, of course, is "using high technology".

　　From "intellectual property protection technology brain" to "Internet court", from the technical cooperation between the government and enterprises in counterfeiting to the cross-border "solving crimes" of China’s anti-counterfeiting technology platform, China’s anti-counterfeiting means are not only more and more intelligent, but also more and more effective. Thanks to the technical support and the joint efforts of Chinese people, China has achieved a historic leap in intellectual property, and China has become a veritable intellectual property power.

　　Technology Guarantee "Technology Brain"+"Internet Court"

　　On August 9th, the first China Artificial Intelligence Summit, jointly directed by the Central Network Information Office, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Public Security, and hosted by the Xiamen Municipal Government, was opened, and the results of 995 projects from 362 teams across the country were announced at the same time. At the meeting, China company Alibaba Group’s "Intellectual Property Protection Technology Brain" won the honorary title of "Artificial Intelligence Innovation Star".

　　Ni Guangnan, judge of the contest and academician of China Academy of Engineering, pointed out that China has done better than foreign countries in many technological innovations. Ali’s "intellectual property protection technology brain" is a good application and plays an important leading role in the industry. The state’s support for the innovative application of AI anti-counterfeiting technology will promote the industry.

　　"Intellectual Property Protection Technology Brain" is an algorithmic technology system that Alibaba Group has accumulated online and offline anti-counterfeiting feature library and anti-counterfeiting experience in the past 20 years. It can find a ball with fine black spots among tens of thousands of balls in less than milliseconds.

　　Xue Hui, a senior algorithmic expert in Ali Security, told this reporter: "The total sample data of this system is equivalent to the collection of 186 national libraries in China, and the accumulated sample size of counterfeit pictures alone exceeds 13.7 billion." Evolving algorithms make this system work efficiently: if it takes 10 seconds to view a picture manually, then 50,000 people can work at the same time to barely catch up with the operation speed of "intellectual property protection technology brain". This system operates 24 hours a day, and 96% of suspected infringing links can be locked and processed at the moment of release.

　　"AI anti-counterfeiting uses more technologies such as machine learning and big data analysis, which is of great significance to the identification of true and false. AI anti-counterfeiting is a professional application scenario of data technology and artificial intelligence, and Ali has made great achievements in this respect. " Xu Zongben, academician of China Academy of Sciences and director of the National Engineering Laboratory of Big Data Algorithm and Analysis Technology, told this reporter.

　　At present, this AI anti-counterfeiting technology independently developed by China is being popularized and applied in the whole society. In the past three years, "Intellectual Property Protection Technology Brain" assisted the police in 31 provinces and 227 districts and counties to arrest 4,439 suspects and smash 4,289 fake dens. Take Shanghai as an example. This year, with the help of this technology, Shanghai police have cracked the first global counterfeiting case involving more than 40 million yuan in Britain, the largest fake case involving 300 million yuan in China, and the largest transnational fake LV case involving 1.8 billion yuan in the world.

　　As e-commerce activities become more and more active, courts are also exploring new cyberspace governance and specialized dispute resolution models.

　　On August 18th, 2017, Hangzhou Internet Court, the world’s first Internet court, was unveiled, which is a major institutional innovation for the judiciary to actively adapt to the development of the Internet. Following the principle of "online trial of online cases", online shopping consumer rights disputes have become one of the main types of disputes tried by Internet courts. On September 9, 2018, Beijing Internet Court was officially listed; On September 28th, Guangzhou Internet Court was established.

　　Since then, many online shopping disputes have been transferred to Internet courts. According to the data released by Beijing Internet Court, from September 9, 2018 to October 31 this year, the court accepted 4,838 cases of online shopping disputes, ranking second among the cases accepted by the court.

　　Cooperation between government and enterprises "using new technology in law enforcement and supervision"

　　Strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights and cracking down on illegal activities such as manufacturing and selling fake and shoddy goods according to law will play a very important role in developing healthy and benign intellectual property rights and building China’s social credit system. This is also one of the efforts of the China Municipal Government.

　　During the two sessions of the National People’s Congress this year, more than 10 deputies to the National People’s Congress and members of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference made suggestions on strengthening anti-counterfeiting and intellectual property protection. They believed that while increasing the deterrent effect of the law on counterfeiters, it is necessary for law enforcement agencies, brand owners, platforms, consumers and other societies to work together to promote the new anti-counterfeiting technologies and new models of social co-governance that have been explored.

　　In April this year, the State Administration of Market Supervision, together with the Ministry of Public Security and other five ministries and commissions, issued a document requesting the whole country to strengthen the application of new technologies such as big data, cloud computing and mobile Internet in law enforcement supervision. In May, when the General Administration deployed key tasks, it pointed out that it was necessary to innovate supervision methods, speed up the application of new technologies and means, and improve the ability of clue discovery, traceability and precision strike.

　　In the Internet age, in the process of cracking down on the manufacturing and selling of fake products, law enforcement agencies need brand owners to issue appraisal reports, brand owners need the assistance of law enforcement resources of law enforcement agencies, and both sides need the technical support of the Internet platform, so they can’t fight fake products efficiently by themselves.

　　"From the past practice, the mechanism of cooperation between government and enterprises in counterfeiting has achieved good results." The relevant person in charge of the State Administration of Market Supervision said that in 2018, 13 provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Delta and Pan-Pearl River Delta jointly launched the cross-regional e-commerce anti-counterfeiting "Yun Jian Alliance" campaign, in which some e-commerce platforms played an important role.

　　It is worth noting that the new internet anti-counterfeiting technology plays an important role in anti-counterfeiting. Fake identification model, semantic recognition algorithm, real-time interception system and other anti-counterfeiting technologies applied in a series of anti-counterfeiting cases show that China’s e-commerce platform can help law enforcement agencies improve law enforcement efficiency through technical assistance.

　　While intensifying the crackdown on intellectual property infringement, a counterfeit goods management system is also taking shape. FOREO, a Swedish cleaner manufacturer, recently publicly expressed its gratitude and willingness to continue to cooperate with China police and enterprises to help them destroy the production chain of fake cleaners.

　　In July, 2018, China police, together with FOREO and Ali Anti-Counterfeiting Special Team, successfully destroyed a fake FOREO cleaner production chain, seized thousands of fakes and product molds, and then smashed the fake dens in Fujian, arresting many suspects. After the case was detected, FOREO sent staff to China to send banners to relevant parties, and joined the AACA in March of the following year. AACA is a typical representative of multi-party anti-counterfeiting co-governance in China. It integrates the scattered law enforcement resources in the past, the clues received for manufacturing and selling fakes and anti-counterfeiting technology to form a "law enforcement agency+brand+Ali" anti-counterfeiting co-governance system to jointly protect intellectual property rights and jointly protect innovation and defend genuine products.

　　By the end of 2018, AACA members had grown rapidly from 30 brands when it was founded to 121. These brands come from 16 countries and regions around the world, among which 33% are European brands, 27% are American brands and 24% are China. The business of alliance members covers 12 industries, including clothing and footwear, household and electronic products, personal care, food and beverage, science and technology, computers and smart devices, and luxury goods.

　　Zhu Xinli, a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, believes that AACA is actually a new era anti-counterfeiting co-governance system that mobilizes all sectors of society to participate extensively. It closely connects law enforcement agencies, global brand owners, platforms and consumers, forming a new online and offline anti-counterfeiting mode of joint efforts against manufacturing and selling fake gangs, which provides a new idea for solving the problem of fake goods.

　　The data shows that the social satisfaction of intellectual property protection in China has increased from 63.69 points in 2012 to 76.88 points in 2018, with a cumulative increase of 13 points, and the whole has entered a good stage. In the 2019 Global Innovation Index Report released by the World Intellectual Property Organization, China ranked 14th, up 21 places from 2013, ranking first among middle-income economies.

　　In this regard, Shen Changyu, director of China National Intellectual Property Administration, believes that under the leadership of the Party, China’s intellectual property undertakings have achieved a historic leap from scratch and from small to large step by step, becoming a veritable intellectual property power.

　　Cross-border case solving "China leads the world in anti-counterfeiting technology"

　　Controlling counterfeiting has always been a worldwide problem. The globalization of counterfeit goods is reflected in the transnational differentiation of manufacturing and selling fake chains. Therefore, international cooperation is crucial to solve the problem of counterfeit goods flooding.

　　A few days ago, China police and UAE police cracked a major transnational counterfeiting case. The police of the two countries simultaneously closed the net, arrested 57 suspects at home and abroad, and seized more than 28,000 counterfeit luxury goods such as Louis Vuitton, Hermes and Chanel, involving nearly 1.8 billion yuan. The world’s largest transnational fake LV case was solved in 2019, which made international brands and UAE police highly praise China’s attitude and ability in intellectual property protection and counterfeiting.

　　This year, not only the United Arab Emirates, but also international organizations such as the World Intellectual Property Organization, Europol, Vietnamese Ministry of Science and Technology and foreign government departments spoke highly of China’s anti-counterfeiting technology. International public opinion believes that China’s artificial intelligence technology and AI anti-counterfeiting have brought important technological innovation to the global counterfeit goods control.

　　In September, at the annual meeting of intellectual property rights in China attended by dozens of countries around the world, Assistant Director-General Takagi Yoshiyuki praised China for its leading role in using science and technology to protect intellectual property rights.

　　Coincidentally, Vietnamese Vice Minister of Science and Technology Fan Gong also said yesterday: "The intellectual property protection system established in China is very remarkable. China leads the world in the application rate of artificial intelligence in intellectual property protection. I hope that all countries can attach importance to the role of science and technology in solving the global problem of counterfeit goods like China. "

　　During the Second China International Import Expo, the New Progress Report on Intellectual Property Protection and Business Environment in China released by the Office of the National Leading Group for Combating Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights and Manufacturing and Selling Fake and Inferior Commodities showed that in 2018, China National Intellectual Property Administration investigated and dealt with 77,000 cases of patent infringement and counterfeiting, up 15.9% year-on-year. Investigated and dealt with 31,000 trademark violation cases, with a case value of 550 million yuan. Among them, China has continuously strengthened trademark protection of foreign-invested enterprises, and investigated and dealt with more than 6,000 cases of infringement on the rights and interests of registrants in China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and foreign trademark, with a case value of 151 million yuan, up 50.1% year-on-year.

　　Getahun, another assistant director-general of the World Intellectual Property Organization, publicly praised this: "The China government attaches great importance to protecting intellectual property rights, cracking down on infringement and counterfeiting, actively strengthening overall coordination, and carrying out cross-departmental, cross-regional and cross-border joint law enforcement. These good experiences and practices have set an example for the international community."

　　Yasi, Hubei, is headquartered in Yichang, Hubei Province, on the bank of the Yangtze River.

　　In 1996, a daily chemical store started from 50 square meters, and now it is a physical retail scale with annual sales of more than 2 billion yuan;

　　From 2001 to 2005, we successively acquired commercial properties and completed the capital accumulation of Yasi’s asset development strategy.

　　Joined SPAR in 2005, laying the foundation for the improvement of store management technology;

　　In 2007, Hubei Daji was established, involved in commercial real estate development and operation, and officially entered diversified development;

　　Nowadays, it has formed a diversified development pattern in Yichang, Xiangfan, Jingmen, Yidu, Dangyang and its surrounding areas, with commercial real estate development as the guide and physical retail business as the core, and involved in finance, hotels, entertainment, catering, tourism and other fields.

　　Yasi, Hubei Province: A Multi-landscape along the Three Gorges.

　　In May this year, members of a delegation composed of more than 10 CEOs of retail enterprises rushed to Yichang, Hubei from Beijing, Henan, Guangdong and Shanxi.

　　Gao Jiancheng, editor-in-chief of China Business Daily Supermarket Weekly, personally led the investigation, and the purpose of this trip is to inspect Yas International Plaza in Yidu, so as to explore the secrets of how Yas has diversified and multi-format layout in Yichang, Xiangfan, Yidu and other surrounding areas.

　　The newly opened Yidu Yasi International Plaza this year is another masterpiece of Yasi Group’s independent operation from the early real estate project development to the later investment operation. In terms of the format combination of the shopping center, Yasi’s third-generation boutique supermarket, Yasi Food City and other formats independently operated by Yasi Group are all included.

　　It can be said that Yas International Plaza in Yidu, to a certain extent, is a new combination of Yas Group’s diversified and multi-format development, and it is also a concentrated expression of Yas Group’s diversified comprehensive management strength from starting from a 400-square-meter food supermarket to successively acquiring commercial properties with heavy assets and multi-format development mode, joining the international SPAR to upgrade its management technology, and getting involved in commercial real estate, hotels, restaurants, finance, entertainment and tourism.

　　On the banks of the Yangtze River and the Three Gorges, what kind of business development model is Hubei Yasi using to interpret the road map for modern regional retail enterprises to become stronger and bigger by opening up new businesses?

　　Asset-oriented model development gene

　　From the current high rental cost in the industry, more and more enterprises have to close their stores because they can’t afford it. The asset-oriented development model has become an important embodiment of the core competitiveness of enterprises.

　　In fact, in this respect, Yas Group has had more than ten years of development experience.

　　"In September 1999, we opened the first 390-square-meter chain store, which also marked that Yas officially embarked on the enterprise development model of chain retail." Du Xiaoyi, chairman of Hubei Yasi Group, told the reporter that in August 2000, Yichang Yasi Discount Plaza with a business scale of 5,000 square meters was officially opened, which also laid the foundation for Yasi to develop chain retail.

　　Subsequently, from 2001 to 2005, it was a period of rapid development of Yas’s chain retail business. During this period, Yas successively acquired several large commercial properties in Yichang and its surrounding areas, which enabled the chain retail scale to expand rapidly.

　　For the retail business that quickly formed a heavy asset model before 2005, Du Xiaoyi said frankly that it benefited from the favorable big business environment at that time. "On the one hand, the chain retail industry was a sunrise industry that was very popular with consumers at that time, and the retail market was not yet open to foreign retail enterprises on a large scale, and the growth environment of domestic retail enterprises was still very relaxed; On the other hand, the operating costs such as rent and labor were still at a low level, which was very important for the retail enterprises of labor-intensive enterprises.

　　After the chain retail industry has formed a certain scale, especially after the country opened the retail market to foreign capital in December 2004, the domestic retail enterprises that are still in their infancy are facing the market threat of "wolf coming". In fact, many retail enterprises have really become standardized and mature since this period.

　　How to balance technology and strategy?

　　"In 2005, Yas officially joined the international SPAR, which was known for its own brand and management technology at that time, and it was also the third enterprise in China to join the organization." Du Xiaoyi told reporters that enterprises should find different development priorities at different stages of development, especially for entrepreneurs, which is a challenge to strategic choice.

　　In 2007, after the chain retail business has entered the stage of stable development, Yas established the independently operated Daji Real Estate Co., Ltd., specializing in commercial real estate development and commercial property management.

　　As a result, Yasi Group has gradually formed a dual-core driving operation mode with commercial real estate development as the guide and commercial format combination investment operation as the core.

　　Looking back on the development of Yas Group for more than ten years, from the acquisition of commercial properties in the initial stage of business to joining the international SPPAR, from the development of commercial real estate to the extension of the upstream supply chain and diversified businesses such as hotels, finance, catering and tourism, every strategic decision of enterprise development directly injects new impetus into the business growth of Yas Group.

　　"As an entrepreneur, blindly pursuing perfection at the technical level will often make entrepreneurs lose their grasp of the timing of corporate strategic decision-making and lose their keen market insight." Du Xiaoyi said frankly that joining the international SPAR has indeed brought obvious improvement to the management technology of Yas supermarket stores, but if an enterprise focuses too much on the improvement and innovation of specific technologies, it will inevitably affect the decision-making of the enterprise’s big strategic direction, because the market environment, consumption environment and big economic environment are changing rapidly.

　　In fact, it’s not hard to see that the double-core driving mode of commercial real estate and commercial operation has continuously expanded the market in Yichang, Xiangfan, Jingmen and other regions in the past two years. Du Xiaoyi’s big store strategy, diversified and multi-format business extension mode are promoting the arrival of a new round of rapid growth period of Yas Group.

　　This also explores a reference model for regional retail enterprises to continue to be stronger and bigger for the whole traditional retail industry in the period of slow growth.

　　Front-line employees are more loyal.

　　No matter how advanced the store management technology is, the entrepreneur’s strategic choice is correct. If there is no staff team that can stand the test of the market, where can the enterprise develop? Especially at present, China has entered an era of high labor costs, and the demographic dividend is no longer the advantage of retail enterprises.

　　However, for more than ten years, why has the staff team of Yas Group had a very high loyalty and cohesion? "Work is life-oriented, life is happy." Du Xiaoyi told reporters that his main job now is to think about how to make employees happy every day.
In order to make front-line employees feel the corporate culture of Yas’s "big family", Yas often organizes front-line employees to carry out some collective activities, or go out for a trip, or hold some entertainment activities. Even if they just watch a movie and just get together to chat, Du Xiaoyi will personally ask the relevant person in charge, and the employees are not satisfied with the activities.

　　Du Xiaoyi also made no secret of his preference for front-line employees. In his eyes, front-line employees are even more important than his "right-hand man", which is also inseparable from the business philosophy of Yas "big family" that Du Xiaoyi is willing to give and share with employees.

　　"Whether it is a senior management or a front-line employee, the salary offered by Yas must be guaranteed to be the highest among local retail enterprises. First of all, it must be given to employees materially." Du Xiaoyi told reporters that being good for employees is actually good for the development of enterprises. When employees feel the love of the enterprise, they will naturally cherish their work more, and their enthusiasm and initiative will naturally improve, which will enter a virtuous circle of mutual understanding with employees.

　　Transplanting Yasi landscape

　　The timely timing of enterprise development strategy has contributed to the diversified and multi-format development pattern of Hubei Yasi today, which is attributed to the strategic vision and management wisdom of Chairman Du Xiaoyi.

　　Perhaps some enterprises will question, how much of Yas’s experience can be suitable for their own enterprises? The author believes that at least three points are worth learning from the regional retail enterprises that want to become stronger and bigger.

　　Take how to operate a commercial complex as an example. In the past two years, more and more enterprises have tried to develop and operate commercial complex projects, but it seems that these are all strong enterprises. Then, can regional leading enterprises and enterprises with a scale of 300 million to 100 million operate commercial complex projects? How to try this new business field?

　　According to the author’s understanding, a retail enterprise in Shandong with an annual sales of 500 million yuan and a community supermarket as its core business has already planned to operate a commercial complex, which actually represents the next development idea of a considerable number of regional retail enterprises. At present, what everyone lacks most is experience in this field.

　　In this regard, Yas’s development model has accumulated mature operational experience for some regional growth enterprises interested in expanding in new business areas. In this regard, Du Xiaoyi will also share Yas’s operation mode in this respect with the industry based on the commercial complex he is currently operating.

　　This reminds me of the 3rd China Community Business Development Forum, which was hosted by our newspaper in Tangshan in April this year. At that time, more than 300 business operators from all over the country were eager to learn the curiosity suitable for their own model, which made me admire it very much, and also made me understand that the more grounded and similar the market environment, the more worth learning.

　　This year, Yas has opened a third-generation boutique supermarket in its own commercial complex. The management orientation of its third-generation boutique supermarket is not to engage in market competition, not to distribute posters, to refuse price wars, to pursue high gross profit rate and to adopt more targeted and precise marketing. During the newly opened period, the average sales volume of the store increased by nearly 30% compared with the same-size stores.

　　Its greatest success is to explore a set of systematic store-opening models with different business styles and market positioning according to the characteristics of different business districts.

　　Doing business in partnership between enterprises and employees is another innovative highlight of Yas’s management. This is forbidden in many enterprises, but Yas dares to let some employees with ability and resources boldly develop the business resources needed by the company.

　　In fact, Yas has formed a mature management and operation mode in terms of loyalty building for front-line employees, expansion of new business areas, combined operation of commercial complexes, etc. The rest is to see if our enterprise has a pair of wise eyes and a heart of learning.
