85% of the accidents were in driving without a license. Why is the "Old Man’s Music" repeatedly banned?

Original Four Elephant Studio Abiding by Traffic Rules

On the first day of 2024, it was reported that a generation of "road killers" would withdraw from the stage of the times.

The Beijing Municipal Traffic Management Bureau issued a regulation saying that from January 1, 2024, illegal electric three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles are not allowed to drive on the road, and they are not allowed to park in public places such as roads, squares and parking lots. Compliance products can go to Beijing B license and can only drive outside the Sixth Ring Road.

From 2006, the manufacturer "Reading" launched an SUV-type four-wheel electric vehicle, and "Laotoule" experienced a sharp decline from street explosion to frequent accidents.

What have you experienced in these 17 years? Why is the illegal "old man music" as a blind spot of traffic supervision always banned?

Text | Paella Diagram | Four Elephants Design Department

At the end of 2023, the news that a 22-year-old female teacher in Nanyang, Henan Province was knocked down by a 70-year-old man and died after being dragged, once again aroused people’s anger and resistance to this "road killer".

This is just the tip of the iceberg. According to the statistics of Beijing Traffic Management Department, in the first half of 2023, among the traffic accidents in the city, the proportion of illegal electric three-and four-wheeled vehicles was nearly 10%. In 2022, there were 131 traffic accidents involving illegal electric tricycles in Beijing, with 138 deaths.

Once upon a time, old people’s music was encouraged because of environmental protection and convenience, and even many regions promulgated laws and regulations that allowed old people to travel happily. What caused its reputation that everyone shouted and beat now?

It should be said that back in 2006, when the concept of new energy vehicles and "oil to electricity" was the hottest, the electric vehicle manufacturer "Reading" launched an SUV-type four-wheel electric vehicle. This product, which people have never seen before, is cheaper than the standard electric vehicle, smaller in size, lower in speed, and more protected from the wind and the sun than the ordinary electric two-wheeled vehicle. It can be said that it is a perfect combination of the two advantages, especially suitable for the elderly as a means of transportation.

Around 2013, the output of Laotoule entered a period of rapid growth, with an annual growth rate of more than 50%, especially in third-and fourth-tier towns and rural areas, which mushroomed.

Until 2020, when the number of electric vehicles in China is less than 5 million, the number of low-speed three-and four-wheeled vehicles has already exceeded 10 million.

Although it provides convenience for the elderly, the huge army of "Laodule" still brings great trouble to the work of road safety and traffic control departments.

A large number of unlicensed, driving without a license and randomly parked electric three-and four-wheeled vehicles have made pedestrians and drivers complain and even caused serious traffic accidents, which has violated the original intention of providing convenience for people.

According to the standards stipulated by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, although the name of "Laotoule" is "low-speed electric vehicle", the speed limit on urban roads has reached the level of ordinary motor vehicles, and the situation of letting driving without a license go unchecked and not obeying traffic laws and regulations will easily pose a threat to traffic safety.

Due to frequent accidents, local traffic control departments have gradually strengthened the control of low-speed electric vehicles. At the end of 2018, six ministries and commissions, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, issued the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Low-speed Electric Vehicles, requiring the people’s governments of all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government to organize the clean-up and rectification of low-speed electric vehicles. It is strictly forbidden to increase the production capacity of low-speed electric vehicles and strengthen the standardized management of low-speed electric vehicles.

Since then, the output of "Laotoule" has entered a negative growth period. In 2021, the total output has been less than 400,000 vehicles. It is not enough to limit the production capacity. Some areas have begun to restrict the "Laotoule" on the road.

Taking Beijing as an example, in July 2021, the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau and other five departments jointly issued the Notice on Strengthening the Management of Illegal Electric Three-and Four-Wheelers.

It is clearly stipulated that electric three-wheeled vehicles belong to motor vehicles and are not listed in the Announcement of Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products. Illegal three-wheeled and four-wheeled vehicles whose vehicle performance does not meet the technical standards for motor vehicle safety will be "banned" from production, sales and purchase.

No unit or individual may add illegal electric three-wheeled or four-wheeled vehicles, and from January 1, 2024, illegal vehicles will not be allowed to drive on the road or park in public places such as roads, squares and parking lots, even working vehicles such as postal delivery, landscaping and sanitation departments are no exception.

This historic step means that the "grey zone" that has existed on the road for nearly 20 years will no longer exist.

In addition to Beijing, Shanghai, Anhui, Fujian and other regions have also strengthened the management of "Old Man Le" and prohibited illegal vehicles from going on the road. I believe that in the near future, more provinces and cities will implement more standardized management systems, which will certainly sacrifice the convenience of some people, but it will guarantee the safety of more people.

Have you ever had a friction with "Old Man Le"? Do you support this provision? Welcome to share your opinions in the comments section.

Development and Reform Commission investigates the monopoly of the shortage drug raw material drug market, and the price of some drugs has soared exponentially.

  CCTV News:In recent years, the National Development and Reform Commission found that some APIs, minority drugs and cheap drugs have become the frequent areas of price monopoly violations. Let’s take a look at two cases investigated before.

  A monopoly case that occurred from April 2014 to September 2015, allopurinol tablets, as a commonly used drug for treating gout, were listed in the national list of essential drugs and the national list of low-priced drugs, with low prices. However, around 2015, the price of each bottle has soared from 10 yuan to more than 30 yuan, and it is even difficult to buy.

  The relevant person in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission told the reporter that this is a typical case in which a shortage drug raw material drug manufacturer implements monopoly. The involved enterprise Chongqing Qingyang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and its affiliated sales company Chongqing Datong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and other five companies negotiated to divide the sales market and uniformly raise the price of allopurinol tablets, resulting in high prices of downstream drugs and tight supply.

  Isoniazid, as a raw material drug for treating pulmonary tuberculosis, has been monopolized by Zhejiang Xinsecco and Tianjin Handewei, which makes the price rise abnormally. In 2013 and 2014, the price of raw material drug of isoniazid was between 150 yuan/kg and 200 yuan/kg, which rose sharply in less than two years, and even rose to 3,800 yuan/kg in some batches, and the price of raw material drug obtained by some pharmaceutical companies from distributors was even higher.

  Wang Yanglin, Anti-monopoly Division II of the Anti-monopoly Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that there are actually many reasons for the shortage of medicines, and there are indeed fewer manufacturers. Because of the shortage and easy to be controlled by some illegal people, the prices of these drugs have skyrocketed.

  The anti-monopoly department of the National Development and Reform Commission has successively investigated and dealt with a number of price monopoly behaviors carried out by operators of short-selling drugs and APIs. Up to now, the investigation and handling of price monopoly cases of short-selling drugs and APIs has covered more than ten provinces and cities such as Shandong, Chongqing and Hubei, and the APIs involved include allopurinol, isoniazid and other varieties, with a total economic sanction of about 16.13 million yuan.

  Xu Xinyu, director of the Anti-monopoly Division II of the Anti-monopoly Bureau of the National Development and Reform Commission, said that in fact, the goal of anti-monopoly law enforcement is not to promote price reduction or price increase, but to restore this business order. We believe that there is a healthy mutual competition, and its price level must reflect market supply and demand, and prices will return reasonably.

Russia’s new arms plan submitted to Putin will cost 320 billion US dollars to focus on strategic nuclear forces.

        CCTV News:At the end of this year, Russia will release a new version of the National Armament Plan, which has been submitted to President Putin a few days ago, and the specific contents have not been made public.

        On December 15th, the new Russian National Armament Plan was formally submitted to President Putin, and the draft plan will be approved by Putin before the end of the year.

Russian President Vladimir Putin

        Although the specific content of the new armament plan has not yet been made public, there have been some clues. In late November, when Putin held the tenth series of meetings with army generals and defense industry representatives in Sochi, the task for the Russian army was — — We must ensure strategic deterrence, and if there are potential threats, we must eliminate them.

        Spend $320 billion on strategic nuclear forces.

        Bondarev, chairman of the Russian National Defense and Security Committee, said that Russia’s national armament plan for 2018-2025 will cost 19 trillion rubles, or about 320 billion US dollars, and the future development of military equipment will focus on high-precision strike weapons and strategic nuclear forces.

        Some American think tanks are also very concerned about Russia’s armament trends in the next few years. The University of Washington, USA, released the title on November 22nd.Report on Russia’s Military Modernization PlanThe equipment to be purchased by the Russian army in the next few years is analyzed, and it is considered that the development focus of the Russian trinity nuclear force by 2027 is basically clear:

sea

        existIn terms of nuclear forces at seaAfter 2021, Russia’s maritime nuclear forces will include six "Delta IV" class and eight "God of the North Wind" class ballistic missile strategic nuclear submarines (SSBN), which will be evenly distributed to the Northern Fleet and the Pacific Fleet.

air

        In terms of air nuclear powerRussian air nuclear forces are being upgraded, and modern Tu -95MS and Tu -160 bombers are being replaced with new engines and avionics, and weapons are being upgraded; The new long-range cruise missile Kh-101 with a range of up to 4,500 kilometers will replace KH-55; The construction of Tu -160 will also be restarted.

ground

        In terms of nuclear power on the groundAt present, there are three projects in progress, among which the "Boundary" project is the closest to completion, the next-generation well-launched intercontinental ballistic missile RS-28 "sarmat" will be deployed after 2020, and the launch test of the "Balguzin" missile train is expected to be carried out in 2019.

        "Balguzin" missile train project suspended

Missile train

        Surprisingly, the "Balguzin" missile train project, which had been highly anticipated before, has been dismounted. At the beginning of December, the Russian newspaper quoted a senior official of the Russian military-industrial complex as saying that the development plan of a new generation of "Balguzin" missile trains has been suspended and will not be restarted in the foreseeable future.

        For a long time, the "Balguzin" missile train has been regarded as a shadowy "nuclear arrow". Ota said that the system was originally planned to start service in 2019. Before 2020, the Russian strategic missile force will form five missile regiments equipped with train missile systems. Each regiment will be equipped with six Jarls strategic missiles, each of which can carry 3-4 nuclear warheads. The self-sufficiency of the missile train system can reach one month, and it can maneuver more than 1000 kilometers in one day, which can be hidden in railway branches or tunnels. Within 3 minutes of receiving the launch order, the strategic missile can enter the launch state.

        Media: Suspension of "Balguzin" or lack of money

pause

        At the beginning of February 2016, the British "Jane’s Defense Weekly" reported that due to Russia’s economic difficulties and tight budget, the high-profile missile train project would have to be cut off. At that time, it was denied by the Russian side, and the dismantling of the "Barguzin" missile train project was also considered to be related to financial pressure.

        New plan funds: 24 trillion rubles reduced to 19 trillion.

military expenditure

        The amount of funds for the arms program needs to be approved by the Russian Ministry of Finance. In response to the new version of the National Arms Program, Russian Defense Minister shoigu asked for 24 trillion rubles (about 400 billion US dollars) in the summer of 2016, and Finance Minister Silu Anoff only agreed to give half of it. A fierce dispute broke out between the two sides. By November this year, the final amount was 19 trillion rubles, which is still far from the expectations of the Russian Ministry of Defense.

One-minute entry and wonderful use of air filter maintenance indicator

    [Original of Truck House] Some time ago, I saw several netizens retrofitting their vehicles in the forum, in order to improve the purity of intake air and thus improve the service life of the engine. From the post, we also see that some netizens have questioned this behavior. They think that installing air filter will increase the intake resistance of the engine, so it is not good for the engine and will increase the fuel consumption of the vehicle.



One-minute entry and wonderful use of air filter maintenance indicator


    In the end, whether the air filter will affect the engine or not, we don’t make any judgment here. However, whether the air intake will really be blocked as mentioned by netizens can actually be displayed intuitively with a little thing called "maintenance indicator". Let’s talk about its principle and function first.


●  What is the air filter maintenance indicator?

    The big picture above shows the air filter maintenance indicator assembled by trucks in the early days of liberation; The left side of the picture below shows the popular electronic sensor on the truck now; On the right is Isuzu truck air filter maintenance indicator.


    The negative pressure in the air inlet pipeline is directly affected by the slight cleanliness of air filter, and the clean negative pressure is small, otherwise the negative pressure increases. The air filter maintenance indicator is generally installed at the air outlet end of the air filter, and its internal slider changes position due to the change of negative pressure in the air inlet pipeline. Users can intuitively get the answer whether the air filter needs maintenance only through the air filter maintenance indicator.


One-minute entry and wonderful use of air filter maintenance indicator


    We have made a set of demonstration pictures here, which respectively illustrate the display content of air filter maintenance indicator and the maintenance of air filter. From left to right are:


    1. The indicator window is green, indicating that the air intake is smooth and the air filtration is in good condition.


    2. The indicator window is green+yellow, indicating that the air intake is smooth, and the air filter does not need maintenance temporarily.


    3. The indicator window is yellow+red, indicating that the air intake is slightly blocked and the air filter can be maintained.


    4. The indicator window is red, indicating that the air intake is seriously blocked and the air filter must be replaced.


    With the application of EFI technology in vehicles, the air filter maintenance indicator on most vehicles has been changed to inductive type. However, Xiao Bian believes that such an intuitive thing is more reliable. If a friend with an air filter is worried about the excessive intake resistance, he can buy one and install it in his car to check whether the intake resistance of the car is within the normal range.

It turns out that seals are so interesting that they have increased their knowledge!

When it comes to seals, I believe everyone will be familiar with them. Like walruses, they are all flippers, but the two hind flippers of seals can only bend backwards, so they can only crawl on land.

Seals spend most of their time in the sea. Their bodies are spindle-shaped and have short hairs all over their bodies. Their forelegs are shorter than their hind feet, and there are nails on these flippers. Seals also have ears, but their ears have become very small and can be opened and closed freely when swimming. They are good at swimming, and their hind feet are like divers’ fins, which can swing back and forth in the water and move forward quickly. Seals dive for a long time, usually up to more than half an hour. When diving underwater, their heart rate will drop very low, which can reduce oxygen consumption.

Most seals live in cold waters, but they are not afraid of the cold, because they have a thick layer of fat, so seals usually like to live in places with ice in the North or South Pole. Seals also live in some sea areas of China, such as Bohai Sea. These sea areas freeze every winter, especially in Liaodong Bay and ice period for 130 days. These thick ice layers are inaccessible, and seals thrive here, the most of which are spotted seals.

These spotted seals are small, generally only 1.5 to 2 meters long. The maximum weight of males is 150 kilograms, while females are slightly smaller, about 100 kilograms. Their biggest feature is that their backs are covered with irregular brown-gray or brown-black spots, hence the name of spotted seals. They are very cute, so they are also permanent residents of the aquarium.

In the seal society, polygamy is practiced, so the number of wives and concubines usually depends on the male seal’s own physique. In order to compete for females, males often fight. Seals fight a bit like sumo. They use their hind legs to support themselves and try their best to pounce on each other. Sometimes seals will bite each other’s fur and blood will flow. At the end of the battle, the winner wins the right to mate, while the loser can only continue to look for the next female seal.

In early spring, baby seals will be born. At this time, we can see a young seal lying next to the female seal, which is very interesting. The young seal is raised by both parents, and the female seal is fed several times a day. Of course, the mother seal will only breast-feed her baby. If other baby seals come near, they will be rudely driven away. Some people may think that the mother seal is selfish, but this may be the law of nature.

The fat content in seal milk is very high, so baby seals will grow very fast. Young seals don’t have a thick layer of fat, but their hair is very fluffy and soft, and baby seals rely on these hairs to keep warm. But fluffy hair makes it inconvenient for them to swim, so baby seals rarely go into the water during lactation. Most of the fur of baby seals is white. From a distance, it is like snow, which is not easy to be found. They are not afraid of the cold and live a very leisurely life.

The lactation period of seals is not long, especially spotted seals, which only lasts for one month. After lactation, the mother seal will become skinny, and they will leave their children to recover. At this time, the seal family will end and the baby seal will begin to live independently in the water.

The leathers of seals are tough, comparable to cowhide, and can be processed into purses and leather shoes. Their thick fat can extract oil, and their meat is edible and has high nutritional value. In addition, the testicles of male seals are valuable Chinese herbal medicines, which have the effects of enriching blood and strengthening yang, and their livers are valuable tonics. Seals are all treasures, so they have always been the target of human hunting. Every spring, seals go ashore. In the 19th century, many countries used well-equipped ships to catch seals in the Antarctic, among which the crab-eating seals were the most caught. These hunting teams kill seals like crazy, and they can get tens of thousands of leopard skins from South Georgia in just one season.

Before the 1980s, fishermen along the Bohai Sea in China also had a tradition of killing spotted seals, but later legislation prohibited the killing of spotted seals, and now the population has recovered. In 2009, EU legislated to ban the trade of seal products, and Russia also banned the commercial seal slaughter.

Hua Chenyu, the general director of the "Na Ying Team", showed his musical control at the end of "Sound Endless Treasure Island Season".

Music as a link, across the time and space of mountains and seas, rewind to reproduce the golden melody era of "endless sound" Recently, the annual sound synthesis "The Sound Endless Treasure Island Season" ushered in a successful conclusion, and the temperature of the times was fixed with songs, leaving an infinite aftertaste and sentiment for the audience! As a strategist of Na Ying Team, Hua Chenyu’s performance in the whole season’s program is quite bright, and his musical talent has been fully displayed by several superb adaptations, giving the golden songs of the times a brand-new artistic vitality. During the performance, he teamed up with other singers many times to stage a burst stage and contribute to the audience’s soul-touching music audio-visual feast. "Light is not bright, still water flows deeply." The camera turned behind the scenes, and while Huahua was very musical, her communication with the team was particularly low-key and restrained, making it rare for people to see the other side of the "Music Devil". Being proficient in the whole process of music production, as the general director of "Closing Night" and "Na Ying Team", he can always appear in front of every teammate who needs him at the right time, and consciously leave more exhibition opportunities to others, becoming the backbone of building a bridge between the old and new generations of singers in the music world, and the music pattern is full. In addition, it has led the team against the wind for many times, with clear organization and strong execution, and is called "all-round assistance" in the program. Looking back on the whole program, the audience can not only see Brilliance Yu’s superior music aesthetics and understanding, but also be deeply attracted by his personality charm.

Hua Chenyu’s "Sound Endless Treasure Island Season" shows its outstanding musical talent, from the adaptation producer to the general director of the team.

Hua Chenyu’s performance has been highly concerned by the outside world since Guan Xuan joined the "Treasure Island Season". Baodao’s new generation singer Bad Special and invited singer Ivy all expressed their love for Hua Chenyu without hesitation. Hua Chenyu also lived up to expectations, and contributed a lot to the show. The exotic rock-and-roll "Dancer" was successfully released and won great acclaim. Her serious and responsible musical attitude not only won the admiration of her teammates, but also attracted many musicians’ seals: Miriam Yeung said in an interview that "Dancer" surprised her. An Jiu, Gao Qingshan, Satisfied, Still, Return to Zero and other tracks have also received favorable comments. His adapted solo song "Can Good Things Happen to Me" won the "Best Solo Golden Melody" in the "Treasure Island Season", and also won the recognition of the original singer band, reaching a friendly exchange with musicians in Treasure Island. As the "music strategist" of Na Ying’s team, Hua Chenyu was clear-cut and targeted, and controlled every detail. When Na Ying failed to find out the news of the Jeff Chang Shin-Che team in "one hundred ways", Hua Hua followed suit, and quickly caught the highlights and analyzed the answers in the avoidance of the director group’s "silence instead of all answers". On the road of music, Hua Chenyu always has the indomitable spirit, even if he records in spite of illness, he never flinches, as long as the energy universe in his body breaks out immediately as soon as he goes on stage. I helped my teammates to try the key many times, and recorded the harmony with the harmony teacher. Even one person recorded more than 80 tracks of harmony, which can be perfectly adapted to any sound zone.

Hua Chenyu Gandang team’s "strongest assistant" is light but not dazzling, and its attitude is humble and rewarding.

In contrast to the high-energy musical talent, Hua Chenyu’s low-key philosophy in the program. He often appeared beside his teammates at the right time, carefully observed everyone’s needs and tried his best to help. Na Ying, Wei Ruxuan and Ma Jiaqi all trusted him. From song selection, arrangement to word segmentation, he will emphasize that adaptation only serves the songs, ensuring the integrity of the "golden songs of the times" as much as possible, and at the same time, he will carefully consider every teammate: "I will be an assistant" and "I hope to build a bridge this time" are frequently mentioned in Huahua programs. In order to "assist" everyone, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his rest time. On the stage of "Shiny Days", he voluntarily gave up the solo opportunity and appeared again in the form of "trio", and gave the lead singer part to Wei Ruxuan, carefully harmoniously presenting the infinite texture of the song. Whenever I see others get achievements and applause, Huahua will always stand behind and give encouragement to each other, sincerely cheering for others’ achievements. He Jiong also commented: "Singing lightly and making peace, trying your best but making no effort, being sincere and soothing." Na Ying made no secret of his appreciation, and sent out the feeling that "it’s good to have you in our team" several times! On the closing night of "Treasure Island Season", Hua Chenyu and his teammates made joint efforts to contribute to a "concert" with emotional ups and downs, swings and feelings, and sang five golden songs, such as Leaving the Earth’s Surface, Suddenly Missing You, My Love, Looking Over at the Girl Opposite, and You were a teenager. Everyone showed their light on the stage and conveyed happiness and disappointment with songs.Strength infects everyone. At that moment, everyone released infinite light because of music and love, which constituted a musical memory that belongs to this era and is worth remembering.

Bo Huang and YiBo join hands to pursue dreams. Has your heart been hit by Enthusiasm?

Original title: Comments on People’s Art: Have you been hit in the heart? 

Since the summer, the domestic film market seems to have started the mode of "resonance with the same frequency" with the hot weather. According to statistics, the total box office of this year’s summer file has exceeded 10 billion. Explosive films appeared one after another, and the audience’s enthusiasm for watching movies continued to rise. At present, there is another blockbuster new film "Enthusiasm", which won many praises after its premiere at the closing ceremony of Shanghai International Film Festival.


"Enthusiasm" tells the story of Ding Lei, a street dance coach, and Chen Shuo, who loves street dance, overcoming all kinds of difficulties and leading the dance troupe "exclamation mark" to win the national competition. The film successfully portrays Ding Lei and Chen Shuo, a pair of "one body and two sides", although one is a middle-aged man who has gone through life and become somewhat slick and sophisticated, and the other is a young man who is sincere and never gives up no matter what setbacks he encounters. But both of them have the same deep love for street dance, and they gambled on their youth for their dreams.


The film’s grasp of the theme of "little people chasing dreams" can be said to be very in place, the rhythm is smooth, the smiles and tears are very clever, and many familiar "stalks" are added to detonate the emotions of the viewers at the right time. At the same time, as a heavy part of the film, the elements of street dance are also eye-catching. In addition to the starring roles of "Qingdao Dance King" and "All-round Dancer", the participation of many professional street dance dancers also ensures the professionalism and visibility of the dance part. The scene of boiling blood makes the audience feel like they are in the street dance competition, which fully shows the director’s scheduling ability and the visual effect is enough to reach the benchmark level of domestic genre films.


At the same time, Enthusiasm is a film of Xian Yi, young and old, with no movie threshold. Even the audience who know nothing about street dance can easily empathize with the core of the story. After all, everyone used to be "Chen Shuo", and with the growth of age, many people have become "Ding Lei". Besides the two main characters, the group image of the film is also excellent, and the supporting actors who only appeared for a few minutes are lifelike. Whether it is the members of the "exclamation point" dance troupe, the proprietress who runs a restaurant, the wage earners in a car wash shop, the frustrated middle-aged people who rely on driving to supplement their families, etc., these ordinary people everywhere give the audience a strong sense of substitution, and almost everyone can find their own shadow in the film.


As an inspirational work, it is commendable that "Enthusiasm" does not force "chicken blood", and a line of Chen Shuo’s mother in the film "can’t be" is particularly touching in this crazy "involution" era. By portraying those people who have to give up for various reasons on the road of chasing dreams, the film makes people feel that it is also a success to take one’s life seriously as long as the flame of dreams in one’s heart is not extinguished.


It is true that some viewers feel that the main story line of Enthusiasm is still the classic routine of "poor boy attacking rich second generation", which inevitably lacks new ideas. Moreover, the hero’s cool-style mode of winning the final victory is too idealistic. However, movies are the art of dreaming, and it is a beautiful thing to walk into the cinema to feel a hearty and "warm" dream in the hot summer days. (author:Bai Xiao)


Monster charging battery life quality road

Technological innovation, standards leading, service empowering

– – Monster charging battery life quality road

Monster Charging has only been established for 4 years, and has developed from an entrepreneurial recruit to an industry leader. How can an industry recruit stand out in the industry with strong hands, how to meet the changing market demand, and how to ensure that the service is not left behind under the rapidly growing user scale? Challenges have made Monster Charging team more and more brave, and it has won the recognition of both merchants and users with service and quality. As a new army in the industry, Monster Charging has become the first company in the industry in less than 4 years. Relying on strong Internet of Things technology, big data analytics capabilities, and battery technology, Monster Charging provides shared charging services in multiple scenarios for more than 286 million users around the world. By the end of 2021, Monster Charging will serve 1700 + regions across the country, with 845,000 points (POI).

Breaking the stock, based on the scene to consolidate the scale

Unlike many Internet industries that directly talk to users, the shared charging industry implements a B2B2C model, in other words, as long as you capture the merchant (B), you can reach the majority of users (C). The diversity of merchants determines the diversification of shared charging application scenarios, which directly affects the height of the industry ceiling.

The catering scene where the shared power bank started is one of the scenarios with the highest penetration rate in the industry at present. The competition in the stock market is often extremely fierce. Nowadays, in a large number of small and medium-sized catering stores and retail stores, it is very common for multiple shared charging brands to coexist. In this context, breaking into the incremental market has almost become the unanimous choice of the head shared charging companies. As an industry leader, Monster Charging has long jumped out of the fierce battle of first-line catering, constantly unlocking new scenarios, seeking a diverse scene layout, and entering the user incremental market.

During the epidemic, rigid demand scenarios such as medical care, transportation, and hotels have become incremental markets against the trend. According to the "China Shared Power Bank Industry Insights 2020" released by Analysys International, during the epidemic, "convenience" has become the key word for the layout of the shared charging industry scene. Since 2020, Monster Charging has continuously deepened the layout of public convenience service scenarios, and established cooperation with Beijing-Zhangjiakou High-speed Railway, Xi’an Railway Group, Guangzhou Baiyun Airport, Hangzhou Metro, Nanjing Metro, Shanghai Ferry, Shenzhen Sun Yat-sen University Affiliated Hospital, and United Family Hospital. On the front line of urban anti-epidemic, Monster Charging has solved the worries of front-line workers by providing free emergency charging services to epidemic prevention point healthcare workers and community volunteers.

After several years of development, the market’s acceptance of shared charging as a convenient service has reached a high level, and at this time, Monster Charging has also begun to build a charging network in sinking cities with the help of large chain merchants. In June 2021, Monster Charging joined hands with KFC to open 3,000 points across the country.

According to the "Shared Charging Industry Report for the First Half of 2021" released by Euromonitor International, in the first half of 2021, Monster Charging maintained its leading position in the industry with a GMV share of 40.1%, and consolidated its leading position in the industry by deepening cooperation with leading KA.

The report pointed out that the first half of 2021 shared charging industry still maintained a high growth rate, the first half of the industry GMV (total transaction volume) of about 5.28 billion yuan, an increase of 5.9%. In the second half of the year, due to the continuous increase in points, long holidays, the number of trips is expected to rise and other reasons, it is expected that the GMV of 2021 will exceed 10 billion yuan.

Brand-driven, helping audiences continue to break through circles

As a technology consumer brand facing 100 million users, Monster Charging clearly recognizes the serious problem of product homogeneity in the shared charging industry. Exploring forward, Monster Charging has found an important growth engine for the brand – understanding and meeting the consumer needs and emotional demands of the new generation of "consumer powerhouses" such as Generation Z. Therefore, even in the early stage, Monster Charging maintains its own unique brand tone.

At the end of 2018, Monster Charging had in-depth insights into user behavior and related preferences, and held hands with Luhan Wish Season to launch the "Practice Public Welfare Uninterrupted Power" treasure hunt for the first time in the city. The event attracted more than 20 million people to experience the customized treasure of Luhan Wish Season, and the total exposure on all major platforms exceeded 120 million people. The successful landing of the event opened the prelude to the integration of Monster Charging’s strong IP. Then, in order to quickly occupy the minds of users, Monster Charging’s high-frequency leveraged the influence of stars and classic IP to accelerate the penetration of fans, two-dimensional yuan and other young people gathered in the cultural circle.

Through the original "treasure hunt in the whole city" activity created by Monster Charging, Monster Charging and its partners have created many excellent cross-border marketing cases beyond the rigid demand of charging. For example, cooperation with stars such as Wu Qingfeng and Wang Jiayer, as well as IP linkage with Marvel, LINE FRIENDS, Nautical King set sail, and Dare to reach the decisive battle. In the current new context of consumption upgrading and consumer behavior becoming increasingly symbolic, with the help of its own original omni-channel marketing model, Monster Charging has found new opportunities in further digging channel value, expanding user retention, and brand value precipitation – using the innovative combination of modern technology and traditional cultural symbols to empower brands to achieve both economic and social benefits.

In recent years, Monster Charging has launched a number of creative treasure products such as Mahjong Treasure, Five Elements Treasure, Huacai Treasure, Regional Treasure, and Intangible Cultural Heritage Treasure across the country. The launch of Creative Treasure coincides with the rise of the national tide and the recovery of national aesthetics. On the one hand, Monster Charging draws content and innovative nutrients from excellent traditional culture, leveraging existing traditional cultural elements and highly imaginative presentations to reduce the cost of brands being discovered and remembered. On the other hand, as a technology consumer enterprise, Monster Charging relies on service networks and creative treasures to bring culture to people, and then combines the forms of treasure hunting in the whole city, online interactive H5, topic marketing, and cross-border cooperation with intangible cultural heritage to spread excellent culture and "awaken" consumers’ memory and cultural confidence in traditional art.

As a result, Monster Charging has also turned from a well-known "shared charging service operator" to a "participant in Guochao creative products". 12 creative treasures including Huacaibao, intangible heritage treasure, and regional treasure won the "Annual Innovative Creative Products" of the 2021 Future Life Festival and the "Guochao New Fashion and Trendy Products List" of the 2021 Guochao New Consumer Conference respectively.

In addition to audience circles, the endless brand ideas of Monster Charging have undoubtedly had a huge feedback effect on its main power bank business. In November 2020, Monster Charging Strategy signed a contract with Shanghai Disney Resort, becoming the first official partner of Shanghai Disney Resort to share charging services. The "Disney version" of Monster Charging Cabinets is perfectly integrated into the park attractions. In places such as Barbosa BBQ in Treasure Bay, Pinocchio Country Kitchen in Dream World, and Star Terrace Restaurant in Tomorrow’s World, the colorful and varied Monster Charging Cabinets allow tourists to enjoy convenient services while immersing themselves in the original Disney story experience.

Quality first, ensure complete service life

At the beginning of the birth of the shared charging industry, the development was not as rapid as it is today. The root cause was the service and quality of the product that held back. The rise of Monster Charging is precisely after gaining insight into consumer needs, it opened up the market with more perfect, advanced and intelligent products. Monster Charging’s software and hardware products have undergone layer-by-layer optimization from desktop fixed charging seat to "three-wire in one" mobile power bank, from scanning code return to direct plug return treasure, from payment of deposit to multi-platform credit free deposit, etc., solving the problems of incompatible device charging interface and complicated operation process, and gradually lowering the threshold for users to use. Convenient and easy to obtain, and the characteristics of borrowing and returning at any time meet the users’ short-term, emergency and external instant charging needs.

At present, all shared power banks on the market use lithium-ion batteries as energy storage media. In order to maintain a good use experience, the medium has certain requirements for temperature and cycle times. As a product that consumers "never leave their hands", in the "shared" use environment, the safety and stability of the product determine the consumer’s use experience and reputation.

In terms of safety, Monster Charging is based on the mature domestic mobile power supply hardware supply chain resources, combining solid hardware production technology with advanced Internet of Things technology. In long-term market practice, through the continuous optimization of software and hardware technology, it has realized flexible monitoring of key indicators such as online shared power bank performance and safety. With the support of the experienced Xiaomi ecological chain, Monster Charging detects various abnormal situations such as hardware overtemperature, overcurrent, foreign objects, and malicious damage 24/7. At present, the company’s products have passed CCC certification, SRRC certification, CQC certification, UL certification, air and sea transportation certification and other product safety certifications. It is also the first shared charging brand in the industry to hold the new national standard certification of mobile power supply (GB/T 35590-2017). Since then, Monster Charging has also independently developed a complete set of bottom-level Internet of Things communication protocols, applying Internet of Things technology and big data platform to monitor end point devices in real time, effectively reducing the probability of pop-up failure treasure, and with the help of self-developed digital management system to refine auxiliary front-line operations, to provide guarantee for continuous and stable output services.

In order to enhance the company’s all-round competitiveness, Monster Charging obtained ISO270001:2013 information security management system certification in 2020, ISO9001 series quality management system certification in 2021, and has continued to complete the three-level filing of information security protection for many years. From the aspects of quality system, information security and other aspects to continuously serve the majority of merchants and consumers to build a whole security system.

In terms of Client Server, Monster Charging provides 7 × 24-hour OurHours, omnichannel service access, real-time dynamic big data monitoring, achieving 15-second service response, adhering to the user-first value, and creating a closed-loop service to ensure the service response and service experience of merchants and consumers.

With high-quality and comprehensive service and stable and safe product quality, Monster Charging has become a service provider for many official event venues. From the two consecutive CIIE in Shanghai to large-scale exhibitions such as the Beijing International Book Fair and the Beijing Wedding Expo, it has continued to provide convenient and efficient portable charging services for guests, staff and volunteers from all over the world.

The industry broke down, and the market ushered in the spring of agents

Penguin think tank released the "lower-tier market consumption & entertainment white paper" shows that in the third-tier and below, the scale of mobile Internet users aged 18-45 in the lower-tier market is about 396 million, and the average daily time of Internet users is more than 5 hours, of which 25.8% is more than 8 hours.

In the process of urbanization construction, the business development of the lower-tier market is changing with each passing day. With the continuous downward penetration of first-line internet services, the demand for power renewal in multiple scenarios has begun to appear. A number of areas dominated by agents have also emerged all over the country. For shared charging head enterprises, after the competition in the past few years, relying only on self-operated teams has been unable to meet market demand. With agents and franchisees as the main ones, it has become an inevitable choice to penetrate into the deeper lower-tier market.

In 2022, shared charging companies led by Monster Charging have come up with the latest investment promotion policies. Some areas that were originally dominated by small brands will face the competition of leading brands this year. Leading companies will reduce the dimensionality of small and medium-sized players in terms of products, services and merchant policies.

Generally speaking, the accumulation of leading brands in product quality and after-sales services is more friendly to agents entering the industry for the first time; while the agent will give priority to the big brand sharing power bank industry, there is no obvious strong and weak relationship between the brand and the agent. Most of the cooperation between the two parties is based on two-way selection – the agent will give priority to the big brand, and the brand will also favor the agent with more resources in the regional market. As a leader in the shared power bank industry and a listed company, Monster Charging also has many advantages in supporting the agent. For example, Monster Charging has accumulated a complete set of business experience system for the training of agents. Its training content is rich and detailed, including the negotiation process and summary of words for various industries and various stores. In addition to technical support and after-sales support, Monster Charging’s channel managers have also been refined to the municipal level. On average, every 2 to 3 prefecture-level cities will have a full-time channel manager to provide agents with one-to-one operational assistance.

Industry experts pointed out that in order to accelerate the construction of agency channels, major shared power bank brands have tried their best. The lowering of the agency threshold will bring new business opportunities to the industry and agents.

The "China Sharing Economy Development Report (2022) " released by the State Information Center recently pointed out that the competition in the field of shared power banks will continue to intensify, the advantages of leading enterprises will be further strengthened, the brand effect will be more prominent, and the survival and development of tail brands will face greater pressure. At the moment of repeated epidemics and intensified competition, with the continuous investment of leading enterprises in agents, the industry may have a new inflection point. Monster Charging, which holds the two "golden keys" of quality and service, will also meet new challenges and embark on a new journey. (Data source: Monster Charging)

"China Quality News"

In the face of Huawei’s new product launch without Mate50 mobile phone, several families are happy and worried.

Since its release three years ago, HarmonyOS has continuously brought new functions and new experiences to consumers, becoming the fastest-growing intelligent terminal operating system in the world. The super terminal allows multiple devices to cooperate and help each other, and the control is simple and convenient. The universal card allows services to flow across terminals conveniently, and the smooth performance makes the devices easier to use, and the privacy protection makes everyone feel more at ease …

At the press conference, HarmonyOS was used as a series, and all products were told together, instead of releasing this and that separately like friends, just because it is called HarmonyOS and everything is based on HarmonyOS.

HarmonyOS is not only a system, but also an intelligent terminal and a super terminal.

The device itself is no longer an island, but interacts and connects different devices through distributed communication technology, and the degree of intelligence is greatly enhanced. Cross-end circulation, small art assistants … Barabara a lot, too rich in functions, I didn’t keep up … Let’s talk about equipment.

The first color inkjet printer equipped with HarmonyOS, which can be pulled at once and super printed. Primary color printing engine, natural color, what you see is what you get. Dual-frequency and dual-antenna, stable connection. Simple operation, free printing, make life more colorful!

The new watch is naturally equipped with HarmonyOS 3.0 system, and the watch is no longer an island device, but has become one of the control terminals in HarmonyOS. Support super linkage, which can efficiently link Huawei mobile phones, Huawei smart screens, Huawei headsets, and other treadmills to upgrade smart life.

Independent call, independent taxi, watch control, not only independent GPS, but also watch navigation, support watch WeChat and super battery life mode. Added ECG ECG analysis. Huawei’s ECG analysis prompt software has obtained the second-class medical device registration certificate of the Drug Administration. Touch the side electrode of the wrist watch with your fingertips to collect ECG signals for 30 seconds, and cooperate with Huawei’s ECG analysis and prompting software to generate ECG reports, prompting sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation, ventricular premature beats and atrial premature beats in adults.

You can wear hands and feet … more professional motion sensing.

All-round health management, with female physiological cycle function. The original version supported independent GPS, and this one was simply downgraded to the glory watch ES (I didn’t see about independent GPS), which was not good enough.

Then there is the voice interaction designed for the visually impaired, and the AI subtitles designed for the hearing impaired-how to say that God closed a door for the disabled, and Huawei specially opened a window for them. This is called people-oriented science and technology, and it is praised by every enterprise that cares about society.

The performance version uses Snapdragon 888 processor to perform very well on the tablet, at least there is no space limit, and heat dissipation is not a problem; The 11-inch 2.5K large screen made of OLED has better display effect and higher brightness; In terms of design, it is the lightest, thinnest and highest screen ratio in the world, which is described in two words-"flagship"; 16MP in front, 13MP+8MP in rear, four channels and six yang, HarmonyOS 3 system. The standard version is Snapdragon 870 processor, so buy it on demand.

By the way, I got a new color M-Pencil. And a matching tablet keyboard.

As a light and light business book in the MateBook family, there are two color schemes of brocade white and ink blue. Personally, I like brocade white-beautiful notebooks are the same, and white notebooks are unique. Huawei MateBook X Pro is the flagship level in configuration, screen and body. On the basis of the original 90Hz high brush and 3.1K primary color full screen, it is equipped with the follow-up Intel 12th generation processor, which has stronger performance and lower power consumption. In addition, with the blessing of HarmonyOS cross-screen collaboration, the introduction of AI remote operation, innovative gestures and pressure touchpad makes it more like a duck to water in office and other scenes.

The name is already obvious, the new 86-inch smart screen. The big TV doesn’t reflect light, and it adopts AG anti-glare technology to watch movies more clearly. After the addition of HarmonyOS 3 system, the smart screen is tight and perfect in function, and the S86 Pro 98% accounts for 98% of the large screen with 2.7mm ultra-narrow metal frame, showing an unbounded vision; Magnetic AI eye, which can be turned on and off to protect privacy. 3 kinds of suspension methods, suitable for every kind of life.

The high-end earphone product line has also been added. This is the world’s first HWA certified TWS earphone. In official terms, it is "a new leap in the domestic audio industry"-it is in the ear. Huawei FreeBuds Pro 2, which integrates super-sensing acoustic dual units, builds the flagship of Huawei earphone sound quality, and realizes a new experience of super-sensing digital acoustics, so that you can enjoy it and feel the charm of the original sound.

Active noise reduction+wind noise resistance, in a word, looks like a cow X, but as a flagship model, its waterproof performance is slightly lower, and only IP54 is splash-proof.

AITO brand’s first pure electric vehicle-Aito Wenjie M5EV will be officially released in September! Continue AITO brand family design, closed front face and exclusive "warm nebula" color matching to meet the personalized car purchase needs of urban consumers. It is equipped with a HarmonyOS smart cockpit that is often used and has a smooth experience. Pure electric travel is more intelligent.

In a word, it is cheaper than M7 and more expensive than Wuling Hongguang EV.

Many consumers, even friends, still laugh at HarmonyOS 1.0. When HarmonyOS 2.0 came out, they felt ordinary; Now that HarmonyOS 3.0 is released, many people are surprised. If nothing else is said, in terms of interconnection, both the Android ecosystem and the APPLE ecosystem have been left behind by HarmonyOS 3.0. If we say that in this track of the Internet of Everything, friends are still entangled in whether they can accelerate the 10s family car in 100 kilometers, then Huawei has mass-produced 5s super-running. Printers, headphones, cars, smart screens, tablets and notebooks are all connected to the HarmonyOS ecosystem, which makes them full of charm. Throughout the conference, we also saw various fitness equipment such as treadmills, mobile phones, cameras and even various products, from lighting to shading, from smart homes to fresh air, from security to audio and video, which almost covered the "clothing" and "housing" of our daily life.

Different from the ecological circle of friends and businessmen, almost all operations need mobile phones; HarmonyOS items do not leave the mobile phone, but each item can be used without a mobile phone. HarmonyOS super terminal allows multiple devices to cooperate and help each other. Mobile phone is only one of the ecological chains, but it is not the main line. In addition, not all products are made by Huawei (or called Zhizao), and those brands that join Huawei’s ecological circle early and become "Huawei’s intelligent travelers", just like the passengers of the giant ship, are destined to conquer more markets with the warship HarmonyOS.

So does anyone still think HarmonyOS is an Android case?

It is related to real estate financing, and the General Administration of Financial Supervision speaks out.

Red Star Capital Bureau reported on January 26th that the State Administration of Financial Supervision held a meeting today to deploy and promote the implementation of the coordination mechanism of urban real estate financing. Li Yunze, Secretary of the Party Committee and Director of the State Administration of Financial Supervision, attended the meeting and stressed that it is necessary to thoroughly implement the spirit of the Central Financial Work Conference, accelerate the implementation of the coordination mechanism for urban real estate financing, more accurately support the reasonable financing needs of real estate projects, and promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.
The meeting pointed out that the CPC Central Committee and the State Council attached great importance to the steady and healthy development of the real estate market. At the beginning of January this year, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the General Administration of Financial Supervision issued the Notice on Establishing a Coordination Mechanism for Urban Real Estate Financing, requiring cities at or above the prefecture level to establish a coordination mechanism for urban real estate financing. The coordination mechanism is an important measure to implement the decision-making arrangements of the central financial work conference, meet the reasonable financing needs of real estate enterprises with different ownership equally, and promote the virtuous circle of finance and real estate.
The meeting held that the coordination mechanism should give full play to the leading role of local governments, strengthen overall planning of work, refine policies and measures, and promote the accurate docking of real estate development enterprises and financial institutions. According to the principle of fairness and justice, the list of real estate projects that can be given financing support should be screened and pushed to financial institutions within their respective administrative areas. It is necessary to strengthen information sharing and provide relevant financial institutions with information such as project construction and operation, pre-sale fund supervision and so on in a timely manner. It is necessary to guide financial institutions to negotiate with real estate development enterprises on an equal footing, make independent decisions and implement them according to the principles of marketization and rule of law, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of financial institutions.
The meeting stressed that financial institutions should attach great importance to it, strengthen organizational leadership, establish internal mechanisms and clarify working rules. For projects that meet the credit conditions, it is necessary to establish a green channel for credit granting, optimize the approval process, shorten the approval time limit, and actively meet the reasonable financing needs. For projects that encounter temporary difficulties in development and construction, but the funds are basically balanced, we will not blindly lend, cut off loans, or press loans, but support them by extending existing loans, adjusting repayment arrangements, and adding new loans. At the same time, financial institutions should strengthen the closed management of funds to prevent the misappropriation of credit funds.
The meeting requested that all supervision bureaus should actively participate in the coordination mechanism, actively cooperate with local governments and housing construction departments, carry out related work in a steady and orderly manner, jointly promote the effectiveness of the coordination mechanism and promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate market.
