The daily economic news reports that the mixed market has welcomed another challenger.

On May 31, Geely Galaxy L7 was officially launched. The new car launched a total of 5 models. The official guide price was 138,700~ 173,700 yuan, which was lower than market expectations. And many netizens also called "Zhenxiang" "Hybrid car price has been shot down" "Independent real cow" and so on.

In fact, the "price war" launched by the car market this year has spread to the new car market, which can be seen from the hybrid ace products of the independent Three Musketeers. On May 15, Haval Xiaolong MAX was officially launched, with a total of 3 models, priced at 159,800~ 179,800 yuan; on May 25, BYD’s new Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition was officially launched, and the new car released a total of 4 models, continuing the tradition of "the same price of oil and electricity" and guiding the price 135,800~ 159,800 yuan.

From the above data, it can be seen that Geely Galaxy L7, Haval Xiaolong MAX and BYD Song Pro DM-i Champion Edition have a high degree of overlap in the price range of these two models, which will form a frontal competition.

"The recent listing of autonomous hybrid products is not priced high, which is conducive to full competition in the new energy vehicle market. It can also enhance product competitiveness and achieve replacement for oil vehicles. At the same time, it will further reduce the general price of hybrid models." Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, said in an interview with the Daily Economic News reporter.

In fact, the above-mentioned models are not just about price, but also compete in various aspects such as new car performance configuration, intelligent technology, and user service.

As the first model of the Galaxy product series, Geely Galaxy L7 is equipped with a "new generation Raytheon Hybrid 8848" power system, with a thermal efficiency of 44.26%, a fuel consumption of 5.23L (NEDC 4.4L) for 100 kilometers of power loss, and a comprehensive cruising range of 1370km under CLTC conditions. In addition, the new car is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip as standard, and the Keyword Spotting speed is only 0.5 seconds. It supports full scene visibility, four-tone zone recognition, and deep continuous dialogue.

It is worth noting that the battery safety is also regarded as a brand life infra by Geely Galaxy. It is understood that Geely Galaxy L7 is equipped with the "Aegis battery safety system" for the first time. Not long ago, the new car completed the vehicle-level safety test at the China Automotive Research and Automotive Safety Technology Center, and passed the vehicle speed 40km/h forward scraping, the vehicle speed 7km/h rear scraping, the vehicle 20km/h negative impact and the vehicle bottom support four vehicle-level battery safety tests.

The Haval Xiaolong MAX, which was listed first, was also highly expected by Great Wall Motors. It is reported that the Haval Xiaolong MAX is the first model equipped with the Great Wall’s new hybrid architecture Hi4 intelligent electric hybrid four-wheel drive system, carrying the important mission of the Haval brand’s transformation to new energy.

It is worth noting that in the field of new energy vehicles, both Geely Galaxy and Great Wall Haval are trying to catch up with BYD in front. Data show that BYD’s cumulative sales in 2022 exceeded 1.86 million new cars, an increase of more than 150% year-on-year. In the first quarter of this year, BYD’s cumulative sales exceeded 552,000 vehicles, an increase of 92.81% year-on-year, and its share in the domestic new energy vehicle market increased by 13 percentage points.

It is worth mentioning that BYD has taken the lead in the hybrid market. The cumulative sales of hybrid models last year were 946,000, an increase of 246.7% year-on-year. Among them, the Song PLUS DM-i won the championship of the SUV model sales list in 2022 with more than 380,000 sales. The BYD Song PLUS DM-i is already a model released two years ago, and is expected to be released in the middle of this year. Industry experts speculate that the mid-term change will also be like the series of championship models launched by BYD Dynasty Network this year, with multi-faceted upgrades in configuration, but the price will be reduced.

In the context of the launch of a number of new cars, the hybrid market also shows great growth potential. According to the data of the Passenger Federation, from January to April this year, the retail sales of plug-in hybrid models increased by 92.1% year-on-year, and the retail sales of pure electric models increased by 19.9% year-on-year. It is argued that in addition to BYD, Geely and Great Wall, more brands will join the "hybrid war", and this market segment will also be more "involution".

　　This special animation sharing session is one of the highlights of the 2020 Shanghai Film Festival. With the rise of Guoman, more and more Guoman works, movies and TV dramas have appeared on the stage of international film festivals. Tencent Animation, as a leading platform for Chinese animation, has launched a series of classic IPs, which have won the support of countless fans.

Fans who cannot come to the scene can also watch the live broadcast through the CCTV news client side and the CCTV news Weibo account, directly hitting the event on the spot.

　　The animation special sharing session opened the door to "breaking the dimension" for fans. The creators of "Fox Demon Matchmaker", "Qin Xia" and "Song of the Final Key" appeared in turn, and they all sent out the benefits of love for everyone.

　　"Fox Demon Little Matchmaker" animated dubbing director A Jie, dubbing actor Yang Tianxiang, and crooked creative interviews allowed fans to learn more about the story behind the fox demon. In the face of netizens’ funny message questions, the three saw the tricks and dealt with them easily. At present, "Fox Demon Little Matchmaker" "Golden Chenxi" is being exclusively broadcast on Tencent Video, and the three dubbing teachers also shared the dubbing experience of this season; the live fox demon dubbing show allowed everyone to see the strength of China’s top voice actors.

　　The concept theme song "Wind of Time" sung by Fang Xiaodong, the star judge, resounded through Shanghai International Media Port, and the song was clear and melodious, awakening everyone’s memories of thousands of rivers and mountains.

　　The original incubation project "Qin Xia" of Tencent Animation perfectly integrates ancient and modern culture, and the Chinese style is full of texture. The animation not only inherits the philosophy of Mohist, but also reflects the continuation of traditional culture in the creation of national manga. At the sharing meeting, the animated interlude clips were exposed for the first time, and the song was recorded in Budapest, which was jointly completed by the Budapest Festival Symphony Orchestra and the Hungarian National Choir.

The image of Chu Bawang was instantly three-dimensional and vivid, and the sense of historical vicissitudes came to the face, so that fans were intoxicated. The two also shared their understanding of this work, as well as their dubbing skills and interesting behind-the-scenes stories. In order to make the work better, director Teng Xin asked the dubbing actor to dub off script, and the dubbing actor’s control of the lines and understanding of the content were also more in-depth.

　　"Song of the Final Key" is an open and co-created large-scale sci-fi IP planned and created by Tencent Animation. Its novel creative model has injected pioneering genes into this IP. The live broadcast of PV allows everyone to glimpse the true face of "Song of the Final Key", which is full of sci-fi sense.

　　Tencent Animation has always been committed to high-quality IP incubation, so it chose an open co-creation large-scale science fiction IP with advanced awareness and long-term perception of users – "Song of the Final Key" for in-depth development. The co-creation of the work is also divided into two dimensions. On the one hand, Tencent Animation plans to carry out multi-line content development, and "Song of the Final Key" will be built into a diverse IP including novels, comics, animation, music, movies and games; on the other hand, Tencent Animation’s main creative team has introduced the country’s top science fiction writers and user creative groups to provide content supplements. At the beginning of the work planning, more than 100 fans have been introduced to polish the world view together, and jointly imagine the human millennium history from 2100 to 3100.

　　From "Under One Man", which landed on "China Movie Night" yesterday, to "Fox Demon Matchmaker", "Qin Xia" and "Song of the Final Key" shared with you today, Tencent Animation still has many excellent works that cannot be introduced to you one by one on the spot, and more excellent works will be born in the future.

In the future, it will carry out industrial and systematic planning for more IPs, try various possibilities, and develop more animation works that have market potential and are loved by audiences.

　　This is a glorious night for Chinese anime, and it is not only the excellent national anime IP that participates in the rise of the road, but also the countless fans who have always adhered to and supported for love. The future of national anime is the stars and the sea, and Tencent anime invites you to join the stars and sail away.

The United States will regulate smartphone map navigation, and Apple and Google may be affected

The United States will regulate smartphone map navigation, and Apple and Google may be affected

The New York Times reported today that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a division of the U.S. Department of Transportation, will work with the White House to introduce new rules to regulate car navigation systems. Navigators and mapping apps on smartphones are expected to be included in the regulation. It is not yet known how Apple, Google, and some traffic-related apps that report traffic jams and police check speeding areas will comply with the new rules.

Existing U.S. law prohibits talking on the phone or texting while driving, but there are no clear rules for distracted map navigation while driving. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration would have the power to regulate maps, navigation apps, and make some restrictions, according to reporters who have seen the draft of the new rules.

At present, the news has caused a strong response in the United States. Car companies with built-in navigation systems support the new regulations. But technology companies that develop navigation applications believe they do not need to comply, claiming that the new regulations are unrealistic and difficult to enforce, on the grounds that smartphones are not only used in cars, and not only in navigators.

The U.S. Department of Transportation issued a notice last year asking navigation software to volunteer to operate within two seconds. Although the industry has adhered to the notice, calculations show that if you are traveling at 100 kilometers per hour, a car can travel 50 meters in two seconds. This reaction distance is not safe.

The description shows that before the release of "I am a Witness", Li Meng took the initiative to invite Yang Mi to participate in the donation of blind canes, calling the "White Cane" national public welfare activity for the blind, which aims to raise funds to buy blind utensils, and distribute them to blind people in need across the country for free, caring for the lives of blind people. After confirming his participation in the activity, Yang Mi donated 200 blind canes for the distribution of the "White Cane" activity. Li Meng expressed that as a thank you for Yang Mi’s support, he personally donated 300 blind canes in Yang Mi’s name.

The roadshow cities inc**********du, Shanghai, Wuhan and other places, but in the end, because other local distribution companies could not arrange the corresponding public welfare link for the blind, only Chengdu did the relevant link. After Li Meng said that 500 canes were in place, and Yang Mi transferred 200 canes to the Beijing Youth Development Foundation, the "Red Dandan Fund".

In the first donation city Chengdu station, Li Meng said that as the first stop of the white cane distribution city Chengdu, because they have spent 400,000 arranged to donate the printer classroom, so the city’s white cane only issued 100, and arranged for student representatives to read a thank you letter, and Yang Mi only need to take a group photo on stage.

Then in front of the Shanghai station in the second donation city, Li Meng said that the issuer could not cooperate without cooperation, and asked the leadership to provide media publicity resources, cancel the Shanghai public welfare publicity, and the follow-up publicity was also interrupted. Li Meng asked many artists in the company about their willingness to participate in different public welfare activities, but did not mention the "white cane" Chengdu station and subsequent donations.

After the incident was exposed in March, Yang Mifang also contacted the recipient and made up for donations of white canes and Braille typewriters.

During this period, Yang Mifang took the initiative to contact Li Meng many times, and Li Meng made it clear: "We are all victims", saying that he was preparing explanatory materials, and would find witnesses, and would explain to Yang Mifang to prove his innocence.

After the "fraudulent donation" report came out, Li Meng said she would sue the Beijing News for false reporting.

The picture comes from the Internet.

　　"Fresh firewood eggs are 55 yuan per box, Pizza Hut steak is 23 yuan per piece, and pasta is 17 yuan per bag." As soon as the group announcement of the "head of the group" was released on October 26, the residents in the WeChat group responded quickly. In just a few minutes, the buyers had already picked up the long dragon.
　　Simple purchase, timely delivery, time-saving and labor-saving… Online community group buying, as an emerging online shopping model, is mainly carried out by community residents online group buying to place orders, and then unified delivery to the community. It can not only help reduce logistics costs, but also help consumers avoid "difficulty of choice" and effectively improve shopping efficiency.

Social and group buying win-win

　　"The group food group in our community was established last year by the eldest sister who opened the laundry in the community. At that time, many people in the community were there. Group buying was cheap and the dishes were very fresh." Ms. Zhao, a resident of Taiyuan, said that group buying was originally for convenience, but now it has gradually become a habit.
　　In fact, the emergence of online community group buying has already changed people’s traditional consumption concepts. The "head of the group" posted a message in the group that users place orders in advance on demand and can pick up the goods the next day. Through group buying, community residents can get goods at lower prices, while avoiding the time and effort required to go to the supermarket to shop.
　　"Neighbors in the community often post fresh dishes that have been bought by the group in the group. Everyone communicates and interacts together, which not only brings the neighborhood closer, but also allows everyone to have a more intuitive understanding of the items bought by the group, because everyone is familiar with each other, which is different from the kind of online store that brushes praise, which can help everyone avoid pits more effectively." Ms. Zhao introduced that with the increasing pace of life, like most young people, she is increasingly choosing to shop online, especially for food and daily necessities, more consideration is given to price and delivery time.
　　Obviously, social communication is an important driving force for community group buying, which can effectively expand the influence of group buying and attract more customer engagement. But at the same time, social communication also faces some challenges, such as information overload, user churn, trust issues, etc.

Regulation and self-discipline

　　With the growing prosperity of the online community group buying market, large e-commerce platforms and various new players are accelerating their entry into the market, making the community group buying market more decentralized and diversified. For residents of the community, some of the "heads" are familiar neighbors, and more are strangers.
　　"Sometimes people in the group don’t know what link they sent, and they click on it. It’s either a group buying Mini Program or a stranger’s online store." Ms. Zhao said that her group buying is still trustworthy. Instead of shopping in the unknown Mini Program, it is better to place orders on big platforms such as JD.com and Taobao.
　　In fact, people in the online community group buying in the pit is not a few, false propaganda, wrong board, shoddy and a series of problems, but also let many consumers headache. Recently, the General Administration of Market Supervision announced a case involving "community group buying" said that in March this year, because a food store operator exaggerated the ordinary food has disease prevention and treatment functions, inducing consumers to buy, and was finally punished by the local market supervision department, and finally fined 125,000 yuan.
　　Are group buying activities reported? Where does the supply come from? Are there guarantees for delivery and refund?… Faced with these issues, the Shanxi Provincial Market Supervision Bureau issued the "Guiding Opinions on Regulating the Business Behavior of Group buying in Online Communities" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), which aims to target the business behavior of group buying in online communities, promote fair competition supervision in the online market, realize the whole chain, all fields, and normal supervision before and after the event, and promote the healthy and sustainable development of online community group buying norms.
　　In terms of prohibitive provisions on online community group buying, the "Opinions" clearly pointed out that unfair price behaviors such as low-price dumping, price collusion, price gouging, and price fraud shall not be implemented, and monopolistic behaviors shall not be implemented through monopoly agreements, abuse of market dominance, and illegal implementation of concentration of business operators; unfair competition behaviors such as commercial confusion, commercial slander, and credit speculation shall not be implemented, endangering the market environment of fair competition; false or misleading methods shall not be used to deceive and mislead consumers.
　　Lawyer Liang Yi of Shanxi Shuoming Law Firm reminds consumers that regular platforms are guaranteed in terms of goods quality, distribution, and after-sales, and should give priority to community group buying packages organized by regular online platforms. In the event of the loss of contact of the "head of the group", the delay in delivery of goods, and product quality problems, etc., provide relevant evidence materials to the public security organs, market supervision and other departments in a timely manner to protect their legitimate rights and interests to the greatest extent. At the same time, it also warns group buying platform merchants that they must seriously abide by the "E-commerce Law", "Internet Transaction Supervision and Administration Measures" and other laws and regulations, and strengthen industry self-discipline. Otherwise, they will surely face severe penalties.

Expand new consumption channels

　　In recent years, new consumption channels such as online shopping, live streaming, and community group buying have risen rapidly, bringing huge business opportunities to the retail industry. In the first 10 months of this year, the national online retail sales of physical goods increased by 8.4% year-on-year, accounting for 26.7% of the total retail sales of social consumer goods. The rise of new consumption channels is of great significance to promoting the recovery and development of the physical retail industry.
　　The exploration of online and offline has promoted the rise of new consumption channels. During the epidemic, more and more consumers have gradually become familiar with and accepted consumption models such as instant retail and community group buying. New consumption channels provide consumers with a more convenient and personalized shopping experience, which not only reduces shopping costs, but also meets diverse needs. It also prompts online and offline merchants to move from competition to cooperation and achieve a win-win situation online and offline.
　　On the one hand, new consumption channels expand the boundaries of the retail market. Traditional retail markets are limited by geography and time, but new consumption channels break these restrictions and allow consumers to shop anytime, anywhere. This makes the retail market cover a wider consumer group and provides more sales opportunities. Take instant retail as an example. Consumers place orders on online transaction platforms, and offline physical retailers receive orders. From picking and packing to door-to-door delivery, it is basically completed within 1 hour, thus achieving the goal of "relying on local retail supply to meet local immediate demand".
　　On the other hand, new consumption channels have promoted the digital transformation of the retail industry. In order to adapt to the development of new consumption channels, retailers have increased their investment in digital technology and promoted the digital transformation of the industry. Digital transformation not only improves the operational efficiency of retailers, but also provides consumers with a more convenient and intelligent shopping experience. With the help of online platforms, physical enterprises can expand their sales channels. At the same time, the sales data precipitated by online platforms can help physical enterprises operate more finely.
　　We should also note that the rise of new consumption channels has also brought challenges to the retail industry, not only increasing competition, but also putting forward higher requirements for retailers’ data capabilities and supply chain management capabilities. In this regard, the retail industry should actively respond, seize new opportunities and meet challenges.
　　Strengthen research on new consumption channels, gain a deeper understanding of consumers’ needs and shopping habits, and provide strong support for the development of new consumption channels. Faced with the omni-channel competition brought about by "embracing online", physical enterprises should use online to develop business, maintain and expand new consumer groups, reduce commodity distribution costs, and achieve online and offline two-way drainage.
　　Increase investment in digital technology to promote the in-depth development of digital transformation. Improve operational efficiency through digital technology, optimize shopping experience, and provide consumers with more convenient and intelligent services. Online enterprises are not simply "1 + 1" with physical enterprises. They should use big data intelligent recommendation to achieve accurate matching of supply and demand. Continuously strengthen the capabilities of enterprises in traffic support, marketing, digital systems, etc., to meet the diverse needs of consumers.
　　Strengthen supply chain management, improve supply chain flexibility and responsiveness. Strengthen cooperation with suppliers to ensure product supply and inventory balance.
　　New consumption channels have also played an important role in driving consumption expansion, industry innovation, and social employment. The retail industry should seize new opportunities and continuously expand and make good use of new consumption channels by strengthening research, increasing investment, and strengthening cooperation. This will promote the consumer market to better meet consumer demand with richer and more innovative business models and consumer categories, and stimulate new consumption.

3. Economic Daily: Work together to curb the chaos of auto loans.

The frequent occurrence of automobile loan fraud cases has become a major problem in the automobile industry. Similar cases are common, and some cases even cost more than 100 million yuan. This behavior not only brought huge losses to auto financing companies, but also seriously affected the healthy development of the auto market. Auto financing companies and auto dealers need to be more strict and meticulous in customer qualification examination and loan approval process. For any abnormal trading behavior, there should be more acute vigilance and strict review mechanism. For consumers, when buying a car, they should know the information of the car in many aspects, including the source, price and quality of the car, and try to choose a car dealer with brand guarantee. Don’t blindly trust some unreliable merchants because of the greed for cheap. In addition, government departments should strengthen the supervision of the auto finance industry and establish a cross-departmental and cross-regional cooperation mechanism.

14. The life of zinc battery is greatly increased, and it is expected to be comparable to lithium battery.

Compared with lithium-ion batteries, zinc-ion batteries have the ability to store a lot of energy and the risk of fire is lower. However, repeated charge and discharge cycles often lead to the formation of dendrites on the surface of zinc, thus reducing the life of the battery. The research team combined the biopolymer xanthan gum with the ionic conductive polymer to form the protective film of the battery electrode. The protective film is rich in oxygen functional groups, which can make zinc evenly deposited on the electrode surface, and the dendrite problem is obviously alleviated. Even after repeated charge and discharge for 200 days, the film shows remarkable stability. (First Electric)
