After 80, 90 to 00, see the user accumulation and changes of Baidu Post Bar in the past 12 years.

With the accelerated development of the mobile Internet, the intergenerational differentiation of the post-80s, post-90s and post-00s is increasingly intensified, and it is difficult for social platforms or products to meet the needs of different age groups at the same time. However, Baidu Post Bar, a social platform with interest aggregation, is a rare case. Founded in 2003, Baidu Post Bar has gone through 12 years. The platform features of "young, energetic and interactive" keep it full of vitality, which not only allows users of all ages to gather here after 80′ s, 90′ s and 00′ s, but also allows people of different generations to release themselves here, showing amazing vitality.

As the largest Chinese community in the world, Post Bar has more than 1 billion registered users since its establishment 12 years ago. At present, Baidu Post Bar has more than 17 million different themes, bringing together 300 million monthly active users. In the past 12 years, based on search keywords, it has precipitated a large number of users who are interested in the same topic on the PC side and the mobile side, including the core users of the Internet after 80 s and 00 s.

At the beginning of its establishment in 2003, Baidu Post Bar was the main user of the Internet and social networks after 1980s. At that time, Post Bar successfully attracted a large number of post-80s users to join, from local bars to various interests. After 1980s, it continued to contribute a large number of high-quality original content, which also gave Baidu Post Bar a young, dynamic and interactive platform feature. Since 2011, with the popularity and rise of the mobile Internet, Baidu Post Bar has also successfully transformed into a mobile terminal, which continues to attract Internet aborigines’ post-90s and post-00s users. Today, 80% of users’ behaviors of Post Bar come from mobile terminals, and more than 60% of users are post-90s and post-00s.

Every generation of users brings new network culture to Post Bar.

The post-80s generation, who have become the backbone of the society, played a pioneering role in the early days of the establishment of Baidu Post Bar. Most of them are the first generation users of social networks, who are brave in exploration and relatively calm. Compared with the post-80s generation, the post-90s generation has stronger self-awareness and more independent thoughts. As an aborigine of mobile Internet, the post-00 generation is characterized by independence, precocity and desire for self-expression. And each generation of users not only left footprints with obvious characteristics, but also created their own Internet pop culture with the help of the Post Bar platform.

The network hot words such as "Jia Junpeng" and "diaosi culture" can best represent the intergenerational characteristics of the post-80s generation. In 2011, Baidu Li Yiba gave birth to the word "diaosi", which not only appeared in People’s Daily, but also entered the mainstream vocabulary of the society, and became the favorite of the public to ridicule themselves to relieve stress. After 80s, netizens created a series of roles for Diaosi, ranging from "Gao Fushuai" and "Bai Fu Mei" to "earth and fat" and "ugly and poor", and formed a set of Diaosi culture with China characteristics.

Following the post-80s rebellion and self-mockery, the typical post-90s posting event is "Ye Liangchen phenomenon", which shows the psychological and social behavior characteristics of post-90s users. In September 2015, Baidu Post Bar first showed a domineering screenshot of Ye Liangchen’s chat, which made Ye Liangchen and "You just need to remember that my name is Ye Liangchen." Quotations quickly spread all over the internet. Now, Ye Liangchen has released his solo single "Be Your Protector", officially announcing his entry into the entertainment circle. It is precisely because of the platform of Baidu Post Bar that ordinary people like Ye Liangchen quickly became popular.

Compared with post-80s and post-90s, post-00s, as an Internet aborigine, are more eager to express themselves and publicize their individuality in Baidu Post Bar. After 00, there was a century war in Baidu Post Bar. "Star Rice" (fans of Korean idol group EXO) and "Four-leaf clover" (fans of domestic idol group TFBOYS after 00) both have their own base camps in Baidu Post Bar. They have been competing for the first place in idol popularity on Baidu Post Bar for a long time, competing to create more attention with various activities. After 00, they are more eager to seek the attention of others by expressing themselves. Their independent personality is evident in Baidu Post Bar.

12 years of ecological accumulation has created a gathering place for young people.

In addition to their interests, the younger generation of users can get together in Baidu Post Bar on topics of common concern, common experiences, the same region and the same personality tag. Anyone can set up a theme based on any keyword. This keyword-based community model makes Post Bar a paradise for communicating with friends and a group of people with common concerns.

As the product manager of Baidu Post Bar said: "Post Bar is based on search, and it directly enters the scattered distribution structure through search. Any person’s interest, even if it is small, may establish his own organization and gather a group of people with the same interests. This kind of structure provides a stage for those who are usually difficult to show up, and truly respects everyone’s interest and personality. Here, every individual is the protagonist. "

Although the users of Post Bar are constantly updated with the intergenerational changes of the online crowd, what has never changed is the attraction of Baidu Post Bar to the youngest user group. No matter after 80, 90 or 00, you can find your own organization in Baidu Post Bar and find a sense of belonging. The platform features of youth, vitality and strong interaction have enabled Baidu Post Bar to maintain its vitality in the ups and downs of other social platforms for 12 years, and it has also continuously attracted generations of young people to join and become a witness to their youth.

Scientifically grasp the attributes of emerging Internet platforms.

  The new generation of network information technologies such as Internet, big data, cloud computing and artificial intelligence are booming, and a number of emerging Internet platform enterprises are growing rapidly, which has profoundly changed the production and lifestyle in various fields of economy and society. The platform has increasingly become an important organizational model in the digital economy era, and its attributes are directly related to the governance rules and responsibilities of the platform, as well as the policy orientation of government supervision. A profound analysis of the attributes and characteristics of emerging Internet platforms is of great practical significance for implementing the requirements of inclusive and prudent supervision and building a new regulatory framework that adapts to the development of platform economy.

  How to understand the emerging Internet platform

  Driven by the new generation of information technology, all kinds of new services and applications are developing vigorously, and the platform organization mode is adopted to attract different user groups to settle in the platform, and by providing information services, the interaction or transaction between various users is promoted. It can be said that the emerging Internet platform is the organizer and important carrier of online market transactions.

  On the one hand, the emerging Internet platform is a market organization that mediates and links multiple groups to promote their interaction. Their common feature is to provide physical or virtual places for the interaction between different customer groups, provide intermediary services and maintain the order of the platform. Internet has broken the geographical and time-space restrictions, and enterprises can integrate multi-party resources on a global scale by building various innovative business application platforms. These emerging Internet platforms, as a new market organization, reduce the transaction cost between customers and maintain the order of transactions within the platform by setting up platform rules.

  On the other hand, emerging Internet platforms are online licensed platforms that provide information services or content services based on data and algorithms. In order to solve the problem that it is difficult to accurately match the cross-regional supply and demand information, the emerging Internet platform technically collects various data such as subject information, product or service information, user comment information, etc., and provides search, bidding, scheduling, payment, credit and other services with the help of software algorithms to match the supply and demand sides, improve transaction efficiency, and also need to obtain permission from relevant regulatory authorities.

  We should also see that the emerging Internet platform is gradually becoming a key link in the digital economy ecosystem. With the help of the advantages of network economy and relying on its advantages in the core business market, emerging Internet platforms penetrate into other fields, and finally build a digital economy ecological chain based on their respective core businesses. In the eco-chain, by publishing platform rules, platform enterprises clearly define subject access, behavior norms, content review, service quality, user protection, dispute resolution, illegal information prevention, etc., and set up corresponding incentive and restraint measures such as user evaluation and credit system. In fact, relying on the advantages of technology, computing, data and user scale, the emerging Internet platform has become the maker of platform operation rules, the maintainer of platform operation order and the carrier of platform digital ecosystem.

  How to Understand the "Facilities" Attribute of Emerging Internet Platforms

  With the increasing scale of users, market share and influence of emerging Internet platforms, some people think that emerging Internet platforms have become infrastructure or public utilities, others think that they are key information infrastructure, and others think that they are necessary facilities. The key to these different views is that the basic concepts of different "facilities" have not been clarified.

  Emerging Internet platforms are different from traditional infrastructure or utilities. Traditionally, infrastructure or public utilities usually refer to physical facilities, assets and networks, such as power grids, oil and gas pipelines, etc., and also include new infrastructure such as industrial Internet and Internet of Things. These physical facilities have high replication costs and low substitutability. The emerging Internet platforms are mostly composed of remote server clusters or data centers, application program interfaces (API) for third-party merchants, application programs (APP) for user terminals or websites, which have the characteristics of light asset scale, rapid business change and many alternative products. Its key assets are big data resources and algorithm libraries, and its competitive advantages come from technological innovation, network effects and economies of scale. Therefore, they are quite different from each other in terms of business access, competitiveness, market barriers, economic and social influence and supervision orientation.

  Whether emerging Internet platforms can be included in the scope of key information infrastructure remains to be clarified by national laws and regulations. Critical information infrastructure refers to network facilities or information systems that may seriously endanger national security, national economy and people’s livelihood and public interests once they are destroyed or lose their functions and data are leaked. At present, the scale of large-scale platform users in China is generally above 100 million, and the business volume and income reach more than several trillion yuan. Once it is destroyed, it will affect a wide range. At present, to bring emerging Internet platforms into the scope of key information infrastructure, it needs to be formally defined by relevant national legislation, and it needs to be considered from the perspectives of network security and data security.

  Whether the emerging Internet platform is a necessary facility needs to be defined according to its commercial behavior and market competition conditions. Necessary facilities is a term in the field of anti-monopoly, which is closely related to monopoly position and market competition. The principle of necessary facilities derived from this means that monopoly enterprises with necessary facilities have the obligation to open their facilities for the use of third parties, including competitors. In practice, the identification of necessary facilities must meet a series of conditions, such as the necessity and feasibility of providing facilities access, the reproducibility of facilities, and the rationality of refusing to open. Whether the emerging Internet platform has a large number of users and participates in the competition on a global scale constitutes a necessary facility in the sense of anti-monopoly still needs to be judged in accordance with the anti-monopoly law and the competition constraints of its related markets, and it cannot be easily determined that it is a necessary facility.

  How to supervise emerging Internet platforms and their competitive behaviors?

  Compared with ordinary market competitors, emerging Internet platform enterprises need to bear corresponding responsibilities and obligations no matter what facilities they are identified as. In this regard, the regulatory authorities can adopt relevant strategies to promote healthy competition in the platform market and maintain fair competition market order.

  First, scientifically define the boundary and scope of "facilities". At present, the society generally has mixed concepts and misunderstandings about whether the emerging Internet platform belongs to infrastructure or necessary facilities. In this regard, we should first scientifically define the connotation and extension of infrastructure or necessary facilities, as well as their scope and boundaries, and avoid the definition of infrastructure being too wide and too broad. For emerging Internet platforms, we should scientifically define and identify their specific categories according to national laws and regulations, combined with the technical and economic characteristics and identification standards of these Internet platforms.

  The second is to play the role of the market and strengthen platform self-discipline. The Internet platform market presents a high degree of dynamic competitiveness, with a series of characteristics such as cross-border competition, subversive innovation, and multi-user ownership, which has strong constraints on the business behavior and governance rules of the Internet platform. We should fully respect the business rules and competitive logic of the Internet platform market, and realize that demand-side network effect and supply-side economies of scale will not only drive the market to present a winner-takes-all situation, but also stimulate potential competitors to focus on market segments and participate in market competition through technological innovation, network effect and service improvement. We should ensure the normal functioning of the market mechanism, reasonably define the responsibilities of platform enterprises, and provide self-discipline constraints for Internet platform enterprises.

  The third is to innovate the anti-monopoly policy of emerging Internet platforms. The original intention of the anti-monopoly policy is to protect fair competition in the market. Monopoly status itself is not illegal, but monopolistic behavior is illegal. When the market share of traditional market or infrastructure industry is highly concentrated, anti-monopoly institutions should be vigilant when enterprises adopt behaviors such as pricing below cost, bundling, market blockade, vertical restraint and discriminatory pricing. In contrast, when Internet platform enterprises adopt the above business strategies, in some cases, they will improve the efficiency of resource allocation and enhance the welfare of consumers. However, the international community has begun to pay close attention to their merger and acquisition of start-ups and then exclude potential competition. Therefore, we should follow the principle of reasonable inference, dialectically treat the commercial behavior and competitive strategy of the Internet platform, encourage benign fair competition, and promptly investigate and deal with the behavior of restricting or crowding out competition on the platform.

  Fourth, it is necessary to be cautious in supervising emerging Internet platforms. Considering that the platform economy, as a new thing, is still in the stage of rapid growth, we should adhere to the concepts of tolerance and prudence, neutral supervision and mild supervision, balance the relationship between supervision and innovation, innovate the traditional supervision framework in time, and create access rules in line with its operating characteristics. We should combine the characteristics of the bilateral market of the Internet market, dynamic innovation, platform competition, technological change and the costs and benefits of government supervision, constantly enrich the technologies and means of supervision and governance, innovate the collaborative governance mechanism with platform enterprises, and build a new type of supervision and governance system that adapts to the development characteristics of platform economy, participates in many parties and is compatible with incentives.

Russian reconnaissance plane "invaded" Czech airspace investigation and anti-missile system

  


  Russian An -30B reconnaissance plane (data)


  Just as the United States insisted on deploying an anti-missile system in the Czech Republic, Russian reconnaissance planes entered Czech airspace frequently for reconnaissance and closely monitored the latest developments in accordance with the previously signed Open Skies Agreement. According to the Russian "Viewpoint" reported on October 20, the Information and Public Relations Bureau of the Russian Ministry of National Defense disclosed that according to the "Open Skies Agreement" signed by Russia and NATO countries, in the last five days, Russian reconnaissance planes frequently flew into Czech airspace and took pictures of their ground military targets.


  In and out of Czech airspace several times


  According to the Open Skies Agreement, from October 15 to October 19, Russian Air Force pilots flew the An-30B reconnaissance plane over a distance of more than 800 kilometers and made several reconnaissance missions to Czech airspace. In Czech airspace, An-30B locked various military facilities in the Czech Republic and made detailed photo reconnaissance. RIA Novosti quoted a source from the Russian Defense Ministry as saying that the Russian reconnaissance plane flew along a pre-agreed route and was supervised by Czech and Russian experts.


  The mission of "Open Skies" this time is the 226th Independent Mixed Flying Regiment of Russian Air Force, whose main model is the An-30B reconnaissance and camera plane. An-30B is refitted from An-24 light military transport aircraft and equipped with two AI-24VT turboprop engines. The aircraft has a maximum takeoff weight of 23 tons, a maximum speed of 540 kilometers per hour and a range of 2,600 kilometers.


  The airborne equipment on An-30B is very perfect, which can not only navigate for other fighters, but also observe targets with the help of optical instruments. It can not only shoot the target in the air, verify the impact effect of missiles or bombs with photos, but also shoot large areas of hidden camouflage targets; You can also search for fighters or helicopters that have been shot down.


  This model is usually limited to the mainland, but not necessarily. In 1997, an An-30 reconnaissance plane flew across the Atlantic Ocean and conducted reconnaissance of the airspace of the United States and Canada. But for the time being, the 226th Flying Group only carries out reconnaissance flights in the skies of Western Europe and Asia.


  It was ten years before the Agreement was implemented.


  The idea of "open skies" appeared more than 50 years ago. In 1955, the US government suggested to Soviet leaders that as an auxiliary means, the air forces of the two countries should conduct reconnaissance flights in each other’s airspace to ensure that no one was preparing for war. However, it was not realized at that time, and the Soviet leaders flatly rejected the "unreasonable demands" of the United States.


  In this regard, the first agreement of practical significance is the Open Skies Agreement, which was signed in Helsinki, Finland, in 1992 by 24 countries including NATO and the former Warsaw Pact countries. However, the implementation of this agreement was not smooth. It took 10 years for it to come into effect after Russia and Belarus ratified it. With the increase of countries joining, 35 European and North American countries have joined the Open Skies Agreement. The goal of the Open Skies Agreement is to collect intelligence and activity information of each other’s armed forces through "observation flights" without weapons, so as to achieve openness and transparency in military activities.


  In December 2002, the United States officially launched this flight for the first time over Siberia, Russia. On November 14th, 2006, a Tu-154 ml K1 reconnaissance plane took off from Chekalovsky Airport and paid a "return visit" to the United States on behalf of Russia. In 2003, 2006 and 2007, Russian air force reconnaissance planes have carried out similar reconnaissance in the airspace of Estonia, Finland and Norway respectively. In August this year, as a reciprocal action, Estonia, together with Finnish Air Force officials, conducted a patrol flight over Russian airspace. (Peng Hua)

During the period, the focus of work was to test airborne systems and weapons. "


  Xinhua News: According to the Russian "Viewpoint" reported on October 16, Russia decided to resume mass production of Tu -160 strategic bombers.


  Kazan Aircraft Factory announced today that it will resume mass production of Tu -160 strategic bombers. According to the plan, the new aircraft will enter the Russian Air Force at the rate of one every two years. In this way, by 2025-2030, the number of such aircraft in the Russian Air Force will reach 30.

Rulu: the legendary road from a new star on the screen to the "fearless queen" in the entertainment circle

In China’s entertainment circle, there is an actress constantly, and she is Rulu. Today, she is 41 years old. With her outstanding acting skills and tough personality, she stands out among many stars and becomes an attractive existence. In the media reports, Rulu is called "nobody dares to provoke", not only because of her diversified roles in front of the screen, but also because of her determination and courage to stick to herself in the stormy entertainment circle.

Early experience: the nourishment of talent

Rulu was born in 1983 and grew up in an ordinary family. Her father is a doctor and her mother is a teacher. Such a family background has given Rulu a good educational foundation. From an early age, Rulu showed a keen interest in performance, participated in various literary and artistic activities in the school, and actively participated in extracurricular drama performances. She once mentioned in an interview: "I like standing on the stage since I was a child and being able to impress others with my performance, which makes me feel extremely happy."

Rulu was admitted to an art high school when he was in middle school, which laid a solid foundation for performance. After that, she was admitted to Xinhua College with excellent results and became a student majoring in drama and film and television performance. During her college years, Rulu was deeply inspired. She constantly participated in various performances and tried to hone her acting skills. After several years of unremitting efforts, she officially stepped into the entertainment circle in 2004, and made her mark in the TV series "The Seven Fairies", which won the favor of the audience.

Career: the display of tenacity and talent

In the early stage of performing arts, Rulu faced many challenges. Although her early works were frequent, she didn’t become an instant hit. In 2006, she played the heroine in the TV series "Flying Fairy". Although the role setting was not outstanding, Rulu attracted more and more attention with her vivid interpretation. She clearly realized that if she wanted to gain a foothold in this competitive environment, only by constantly honing her acting skills. In order to improve her performance ability, Rulu chose to take part in various roles, ranging from sweet girls to complex female images, which she can handle with ease.

In 2015, Rulu’s role as "Qiu Yingying" in the TV series Ode to Joy brought her career to a new peak. The complexity and realism of this role let the audience see the depth of her acting skills, and the female friendship and growth discussed in the play also aroused great social repercussions. Rulu’s performance in this play not only won her praise from many audiences, but also further consolidated her position in the entertainment circle.

With the rising of her career, Rulu began to expand into other fields. She participated in the production of many TV dramas and actively shared her views on performing arts on social platforms. She once mentioned in an interview: "I hope to be more involved in the creation of works, which is not only a challenge to myself, but also a promotion to the whole industry."

Social Relations: Friendship and Competition

In the entertainment circle, Rulu has established deep friendship with many colleagues. She had frequent interactions with actors such as Huang Xiaoming and Zhao Liying, and maintained good cooperation and friendship with them. At a festival party, Rulu said humorously, "It’s a blessing to meet like-minded people in this circle."

At the same time, Rulu is also facing competition from peers. At an award ceremony, her confrontation with another popular young Hua Dan became a hot topic in the media. Both the atmosphere at the scene and the judges’ scores are quite tense. Rulu said in an interview: "Competition is healthy, and it can make me make continuous progress." This mentality and mature handling method make her comfortable in the face of all kinds of pressures.

External evaluation: the demeanor of the strong

With its success in the entertainment industry, Rulu has gradually become the focus of media attention. Every appearance of her and every change of her role will lead to a heated discussion. Even when criticized, Rulu always faces it with a positive attitude. Once, when she responded to a query from a netizen on Weibo, she wrote: "I will continue to work hard, thank you for your support and encouragement! This gives me the motivation to do better. " Her attitude made her fans more firmly support her.

Rulu is not only an excellent actress, but also a female representative with a strong heart. She is well aware of her influence and often transmits positive energy by participating in charitable activities. In a number of public welfare projects, she actively promoted and personally participated in the activities, explaining the role of a responsible public figure with actions.

Personal summary: fearless.

Today’s Rulu is not only an actress who is adept in the entertainment circle, but also a symbol representing women’s strength. She told the world with her own practical actions: in the face of storms and doubts, be brave to be yourself. As she confidently said, "I am who I am, and there is nothing to be afraid of." Her story has inspired countless young people to pursue their dreams and firmly believe that they can meet their own glory as long as they work hard.

In Rulu, we see the virtue of persistence and struggle, and also feel the difficulty and truth behind the entertainment circle. As an actress who "nobody dares to provoke", she is undoubtedly a symbol of women’s strength in this era. It is this persistence that has kept her radiant throughout her many years of acting career, showing her unique personal charm and profound humanistic care.

Dongfeng Citroen 2016 Citroen C4L

     Analysis of price competitiveness

    The new C4L has launched two powertrains and six models, with the price range of 134,900-182,900, among which there are three models in 1.2THP, the five-speed manual leading model and the third-generation 6-speed manual integrated leading and elite version, with the price range of 134,900-151,900; 1.6THP also has three models, namely, leading model, elite model and flagship model. All three models are equipped with 6-speed automatic manual transmission, and the price range is 15.19-18.29 million. From the price list alone, we may not be able to directly perceive whether the new C4L is worth buying, because its price range is completely in line with the current market level. However, if we compare and analyze it horizontally, we can see that the price of the new C4L is still very competitive.

    In the 1.0-1.4L small displacement group, it can be seen that the 1.2THP leading manual version of the new C4L is 11,900 yuan lower than the sagitar T-power entry-level 1.4T manual comfort model, even the top-of-the-line model of the new C4L is 151,900 yuan, which is only 5,100 yuan more than the sagitar 1.4T comfort model. Moreover, it is equipped with such equipment as IDVR intelligent driving monitoring, LDW lane departure intelligent early warning, FCW pre-collision intelligent early warning and SAFEYE blind zone monitoring, which are also rare in the same class.

  Compared with Weilang’s 1.5T model, the starting price of the new C4L 1.6THP model is 11,000 yuan less, and even the official guide price of the elite version of the new C4L 1.6THP model is 2,000 yuan lower than that of Weilang’s 1.5T entry-level model. However, the new C4L still has certain advantages in terms of scientific and technological equipment, comfort equipment and safety equipment.

    Modeling gives people a brand-new feeling.

    The new Cruze launched this time is based on the American version of the new Cruze, which gives people a brand-new feeling in modeling. This is also reflected in the fact that its front face adopts the latest design language of Chevrolet brand like Mai Rui Bao XL. Although the front grille of the new Cruze continues the split design, it is closely connected with the headlight group, which not only stretches the horizontal visual width, but also makes its front face look younger and more fashionable, with a more distinct sense of hierarchy.

Porsche Taycan debuts with new battery life and upgraded configuration

Since its inception, with its unique identity, it has undertaken the heavy task of brand electrification transformation. As a fusion of classic and innovative, it not only continues the classic elements of the brand, but also deeply integrates the pure electric platform for positive research and development, becoming the representative of pure electric in the new era.

In 2023, Porsche sold more than 320,000 new cars worldwide, of which the Taycan sold more than 40,000 units, which is enough to prove the important position of the Taycan in the Porsche series and its recognition in the hearts of consumers.

Recently, the new Porsche Taycan with a new upgrade and configuration again, released a total of 7 models, including sports cars and Cross Turismo two body forms, all standard high-performance batteries. The starting price of the new Taycan is more than one million yuan, and the price of the whole series is 100.8-199 8,000 yuan.

The new Taycan has been adjusted in detail in the front face, and the optimization of the air inlet shape has improved the effect, up to a minimum of 0.22. The new style of lamp group design is matched with high definition matrix (HD) technology, and the interior of the headlight is composed of 32,000 LED light sources, which further enhances the lighting effect and safety.

Externally, the new Taycan’s front fenders and flatter headlights visually widen the car’s width, and the Porsche logo in the strip taillights features a three-dimensional glass exterior design and supports lighting, adding a unique welcome/departure animation effect.

In terms of performance, the new Taycan is equipped with new 21-inch tires with lower rolling resistance, which helps to improve battery life. The battery capacity has been increased from 93kWh to 105kWh, and the WLTP range has been increased to a maximum of 693km. At the 800V DC charging station, the maximum charging power of the new car can reach 320kW, which is 145kW higher than before, and the fast charging time is greatly shortened.

In terms of configuration, the new Taycan has been fully upgraded, including sound system, front seat heating, wireless charging + smartphone tray, etc., to improve convenience and comfort. In addition, the configuration of electric charging port cover, adaptive air suspension, rearview mirror rim light has also been upgraded.

In terms of power performance, the new Taycan also spares no effort. Take the Taycan Turbo S as an example, the system can reach a maximum power of 700kW, and the 0-100km/h acceleration time is only 2.4 seconds. The Push-to-Pass (one-click acceleration) function in the Sport Chrono component can output up to 70kW of additional power in 10 seconds.

On the track, the new Taycan also showed its outstanding performance. Equipped with Weissach components, the Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach Package achieved the fastest lap time of 1:27.87 at Laguna Seca Circuit in the United States, becoming the fastest pure electric production car on the track.

Since its launch in 2019, the Porsche Taycan has become a model of performance in the electric sports car industry with its outstanding performance and continuous innovation. The comprehensive upgrade of the new Taycan in terms of performance, battery life and configuration will undoubtedly further consolidate its leading position in the ultra-luxury brand electric sports car. For Taycan owners, "this is still a Porsche" is not only a recognition of its performance, but also a legacy of its brand spirit.

Or are you greedy for the car market? Gree once again made a high-profile car. Can Dong Mingzhu’s dream of making a car succeed?

The domestic automobile market is no longer new for cross-border car-making. In the early years, most of the new power brands started in the Internet industry. In recent years, all walks of life hope to get a share in the automobile market. Not only do people who make mobile phones and color TVs keep pouring into the car circle, but even those who make sweeping robots and engage in real estate development are building cars.

Then, will the brand that makes air conditioners be absent? Of course not. Gree is the representative. Recently, Shanghai Gree Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. was established with a registered capital of 20 million RMB, and its business scope includes automobile parts research and development, automobile parts and accessories manufacturing, industrial robot manufacturing, industrial robot sales, intelligent robot research and development, etc. Obviously, Gree is already paving the way for building a car.

Has Dong Mingzhu learned a lesson from Gree’s second-hand car?

On the surface, Shanghai Gree Automobile Technology Co., Ltd. was established only recently, but in fact this is not the first time Gree has built a car. As early as 2016, Gree Electric was prepared to acquire 100% shares of Zhuhai Yinlong for 13 billion yuan. Although the acquisition was stalled due to the opposition of Gree shareholders, it also opened the prelude to Dong Mingzhu’s intention to build a car.

In desperation, Dong Mingzhu invested 1 billion yuan in his own name to acquire the shares of Zhuhai Yinlong, and after repeated capital increase, Dong Mingzhu’s shareholding ratio increased to 17.46%, which made Dong Mingzhu realize his dream of building a car. But after all, investment acquisition is only the beginning of the dream of building a car. If you want to survive in the automobile market, you must come up with satisfactory products.

From the product point of view, Guangtong, the first model after Dong Mingzhu’s shareholding in Zhuhai Yinlong, has been listed in 2017, and the voice of doubt is not small, not only the longest battery life is only 200km, but even the top speed is only 120km/h, so it is naturally difficult to measure the product strength without bright spots. Although the second model, Yinlong Effie, has increased its battery life to 450km, the price of over 400,000 yuan has also been directly taught by the market.

In the days to come, Yinlong Automobile was also in constant trouble. Even in 2018, it was exposed to negative news such as arrears in supplier payment and arrears in employee wages. In 2019, Gree intended to cooperate with Weimar to change the status quo of Yinlong Automobile, but soon Weimar went bankrupt and there was no following. In the end, Yinlong Automobile was renamed as "Gree Titanium" in 2021. In 2023, Gree Electric increased its shareholding in Gree Titanium to 72.47%, which was managed by Dong Mingzhu himself.

All of the above shows that Dong Mingzhu doesn’t know much about the automobile market, and building a car is far from as simple as Dong Mingzhu imagined. With the establishment of Shanghai Gree Automobile Technology Co., Ltd., the second car-making in Dong Mingzhu started. Behind this is not only Dong Mingzhu’s obsession with the dream of making cars, but also the huge profits in the automobile market, otherwise there would not be so many people trying to squeeze into the automobile market. However, has Dong Mingzhu learned the lesson of Yinlong’s failure?

It is not easy to build a car, and Dong Mingzhu’s dream of building a car will fail again

There is no denying that Gree is a leading enterprise in the air-conditioning industry, and its sales volume and influence are hard to match with those of its friends. Dong Mingzhu, who pushed Gree to the top with one hand, is naturally proud of making cars. He once bombarded domestic cars in public, but when he built them himself, he found that making cars was far from as simple as he thought.

Why did Yinlong fail? In fact, the technology is still too bad, and at the same time, Dong Mingzhu himself is arrogant, pulling the pricing of Yinlong’s products to a height that does not belong to it. What’s more, the models of Yinlong Automobile are "knockoffs" from any angle, but they are higher than the genuine ones in price. Is it because the Logo of Yinlong Automobile uses five rings more than the four rings of Audi?

If Dong Mingzhu paid attention to product building and technology research and development when it first built a car in 2016, perhaps the dream of building a car had already come true. But now it’s 2024. Can dreams that were not realized eight years ago be realized now? Compared with eight years ago, the involution of the current automobile market is completely out of one dimension. Except Xiaomi, the new power brands established in the past two years have failed to make waves without exception.

For the new power brands, there are actually only two ways to go, either relying on traditional automobile manufacturers, such as Deep Blue Automobile, Extreme Krypton Automobile and Intimate Automobile, and relying on traditional manufacturers such as Chang ‘an, Geely and SAIC respectively. There is neither a lack of technology nor a lack of R&D funds, and at the same time, brand awareness can be established. The other way is to become popular by marketing, just like Xiaomi Automobile, but the premise behind marketing is that the competitiveness of the product itself is not bad, and the quality cannot be too flawed. The most important thing is that the founder must be as influential as Lei Jun.

It’s a pity that there seems to be some gap between Dong Mingzhu and Lei Jun now, and Dong Mingzhu is not satisfactory in both personality charm and rigor in making cars. In addition, although Dong Mingzhu and Gree have 8 years of experience in building cars, they can hardly come up with the core technology. The only advantage may be car air conditioning. After all, this is Gree’s housekeeping skill.

Write at the end:

In the field of air-conditioning, Dong Mingzhu is undoubtedly successful, but the profit and development potential of the air-conditioning market are limited after all, so Dong Mingzhu hopes to enter more industries. However, judging from the results, almost all cross-border ventures in Dong Mingzhu have ended in failure, and both the former Gree mobile phone and the current Gree Titanium car have become jokes in the circle. So, do you think Dong Mingzhu’s dream of building a second car can come true?

Oil leakage from the valve cover is harmful, so don’t ignore it.

As we all know, the valve cover is usually located at the top of the engine, and the oil filler, ignition coil and other components are installed with it. With the increasing integration of the engine, the responsibilities of the valve cover are increasing.

Therefore, if the valve cover fails, it will seriously affect the running state of the engine.

01

Fault case: air conditioning odor caused by aging of valve cover

A limousine entered the repair shop, and the owner complained that the air from the air conditioner smelled burnt. Maintenance personnel try air conditioning, and they can smell obvious odor during external circulation, but there is almost no odor during internal circulation. Open the engine compartment and look carefully. It is found that the oil drips on the high-temperature engine parts, releasing the burnt smell, and then being sucked into the car from the air inlet of the air conditioner.

Air conditioning outlet smells bad.

Following the trace of oil leakage, the source of oil leakage was found, which was that the valve cover was aging and cracked, resulting in oil leakage. Replace the valve cover assembly, clean up the leaked oil, and after replacing the air conditioner filter, the air conditioner odor disappears and the fault is eliminated.

Aging valve cover

The source of the above faults is the aging of valve cover and oil leakage. However, the consequence of aging of this part is not only the phenomenon of air conditioning odor.

02

The valve cover is abnormal, and there are various problems.

The engine is developing in the direction of light weight and miniaturization, and many independent components in the past have begun to merge with each other and integrate into one. For this reason, in the valve cover of today’s mainstream models, seals, valves, oil mist separators, etc. are generally integrated to form an assembly.

Obviously, when the valve cover fails, its impact will be various. The following are some common phenomena:

Seal failure: Oil leaks out of the engine, resulting in oil consumption.

Increase of sludge: oil leaks into the cylinder head, camshaft and valve contact with too much oil, and sludge increases, which affects the action.

Carbon deposit in the cylinder: the oil enters the spark plug hole, which affects the spark plug flashover and forms carbon deposit in the cylinder.

Harness damage: oozing oil will flow along the harness and cause poor contact of the connector.

03

Possible causes of valve cover damage

Natural aging is one of the reasons, and the failure of some other systems on the engine will also lead to the damage or performance degradation of the valve cover.

The first is the temperature. There are many engineering plastics and rubber products in the valve cover. If the engine runs at high temperature for a long time, these parts will age rapidly.

Seal on valve cover

The second is stress. If the crankcase is not well ventilated, the internal pressure of the engine will increase, which will bring additional load to the seal and make it more prone to fatigue.

In addition, human factors can not be ignored. When installing the valve cover, the bolts must be tightened in strict accordance with the order indicated by the technical data of the main engine factory, otherwise the sealing may be lax and repair may be brought.
