Yichexun A few days ago, I obtained the mixed version of the declaration map from relevant channels. The logo of "hybrid" has been added to the rear of the new car, which is equipped with a 1.5T hybrid system with a declared value of 6.4L/100km.

The appearance of the hybrid version does not adopt a new generation of design, which is not much different from the current fuel version. Only the "hybrid" logo is added at the rear of the car.

The logo and the net on the front face are still chrome-plated, and the rear taillights are designed as through taillights, with dimensions of 4700mm long, 1860mm wide and 1746mm high respectively.

The hybrid version still uses 1.5T, and the hybrid system is composed of motors. Compared with the current fuel version of 1.5T, it will have stronger power and better performance. The official declaration is 6.4L, and the fuel version is reduced by 1L. Since the hybrid electric vehicle is not a new energy vehicle, the main competitor of the new car is the fuel version of the same price, and the advantage is naturally lower brought by the hybrid vehicle.

Before boarding, show us the certificate."

Fuzhou car reform office and taxi companies have responded

　　As soon as this matter was reported, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet. Many people wondered, isn’t the bus being reformed?"Official taxi"How did that happen?

　　To this, the relevant departments responded –

The person in charge of the Vehicle Reform Office of the Fuzhou Development and Reform Commission:

The "official taxi" is a plan designed by the company itself, which is completely a market behavior, and the government does not participate. For "official taxis", Fuzhou City has not given any investment or subsidies, nor has it signed any cooperation agreement.

The public attention on the reform of public transportation is high, and enterprise innovation services should not be used as an opportunity to hype, let alone cause public misunderstanding.

Relevant person in charge of Fuzhou Bus Taxi Co., Ltd.:

The company believes that the civil service car market has great potential after the bus reform, and the "official taxi" launched this time is a business conduct aimed at exploring the market.

The "20% discount for civil servants" clause in the plan is a promotional method for enterprises to expand the market; "providing services for civil servants’ family cars" is also a way of publicity to expand the number of customers.

　　On the streets of Fuzhou"Official taxi"There are only a few hundred of them, but they have earned the attention of the national media. The Internet is also filled with public concern."Official taxi"What causes anxiety? How can we rationally look at this new thing?

CCTV Comment: A Dialectical View of "Official Taxi"

"Official taxis" have exploratory significance

　　For some time, the reform of buses has gradually deepened, and many places have been reforming buses"shift period"Try to reform the supporting system. In this context,"Official taxi"Going into people’s field of vision and trying to solve the problem of civil servants’ travel in a socialized way has certain exploration significance.

　　This time, Fuzhou Bus Taxi Company launched"Official taxi"Service, if it is true as the Fuzhou Development and Reform Commission’s Vehicle Reform Office said, the government did not participate in the decision-making of the enterprise, and the government did not invest or subsidize it during operation. Then, it can be seen that the enterprise makes business decisions based on the judgment of the official travel market.

　　In the process of comprehensively deepening reform, it is essential to properly handle the relationship between the government and the market.In many areas of reform, the government’s blanket model has gradually withdrawn, and enterprises have filled the vacuum through social services, which is a normal phenomenon in many cases.If only this time"The government belongs to the government, and the market belongs to the market."Perhaps people’s concerns are overblown.

"Official taxis" cannot be reduced to "privileged cars"

　　Since it is"market behavior"Why has it aroused such high public concern and concern? In one sentence, it reveals the secret, that isPeople were worried that this was a resurgence of the irrational use of official vehicles, that the "privileged service" would reappear as a vest, that new bottles of old wine would be put into old bottles in some places during the reform, and that the painstaking reform of public transportation would be abandoned halfway…

　　People’s anxiety is not without reason."Official taxi"There are several details in the service that raise concerns.

　　Well, first of all."Official taxi"The target audience is mainly civil servants. As we all know, in a market economy, no product can be suitable for all ages and everyone. Any product or service is only aimed at a specific target group. However, when serving the target group, the product should not discriminate against non-target groups. Regrettably,The target audience of "business taxis" is strictly limited, and even "requires passengers to show official documents", which is feared to become a "privilege" again…

　　Secondly,"Official taxi"The service provider is Fuzhou Bus Taxi Company, a state-owned enterprise. The left hand is a government agency, and the right hand is a state-owned enterprise. People worry about whether there will be transactions behind it. On the one hand, state-owned enterprises escort the car services of government departments; on the other hand, when enterprises lose money, will the government pay for it? Although the form has changed,People are concerned that this is still taxpayers paying for unreasonable official vehicles…

　　And thirdly,"Official taxi"20% off for private travel of civil servants. Such"Special products"or"Special needs service"For ordinary people, it is definitely not a blessing. Since public officials travel privately, why don’t they take taxis or buses like ordinary citizens? On the other hand, the 20% discount service may be a bonus and service extension of the usual official ride.Since official travel is paid by the public and benefits from private travel, what is the rationality?

Adhere to "market logic" and let "official taxis" become "sunshine taxis"

　　Of course, the above concerns inevitably lead to scrutiny of the details with magnifying glasses, and inevitably lead people to think the worst. But this just shows that the road to reform has never been smooth, and only by adhering to the right direction and principles can we ensure the final success of reform.

　　"Official taxi"It is not a bad thing to cause anxiety. Only through analysis and discussion can the truth become clearer and clearer.As long as we firmly adhere to the direction and principles determined by the bus reform, firmly adhere to the socialization and market-oriented reform logic, and ensure openness and transparency in decision-making and operation, "official taxis" will move towards the direction of "sunshine taxis", and the bus reform will not be far from success.

Article/CCTV Commentary Contributor, Wang Jian

　　Since online car-hailing entered the public eye in 2014, in less than four years, online car-hailing has changed the way a large part of Chinese people travel. In 2017, Didi Chuxing completed a total of nearly 10 billion US dollars in financing, with a valuation of more than 50 billion US dollars, becoming a well-deserved giant in the field of online car-hailing.

　　However, this has not stopped some new players from entering the field one after another, and unlike the vertical competition between online ride-hailing platforms in the previous two years, this year has ushered in a cross-border melee. Among them are the in-depth expansion of shared mobility platforms, the high-profile entry of Meituan, which is about to go public, and the strong entry of traditional automakers such as Geely and FAW.

　　Among many cross-border players, the Autonavi map under Alibaba Group is a bit special because unlike other platforms’ self-operated online car-hailing business, Autonavi is a online car-hailing aggregation platform. Since July this year, Autonavi has begun to vigorously promote the "one-click full network car-hailing" Autonavi taxi service, which is connected to online car-hailing platforms including Didi Chuxing, Shenzhou Car, Shouqi Car, Cao Cao Car, etc.

　　In an interview with 21st Century Business Herald on August 6, Dong Zhenning, vice-president of Autonavi Maps, said: "The original intention of Autonavi’s ride-hailing business is not to get a share of the ride-hailing industry, and it never wants to become another Didi. The’one-click ride-hailing ‘function has brought about 200% increase in daily orders to the ride-hailing partners on the platform, and compared with the industry average, it has also saved users 10% of waiting time."

　　Don’t be another "Didi"

　　In fact, the reason why there are so many cross-border players to join, on the one hand, because there is still room for development in the travel industry, there are still a large number of user requests that have not been well met; on the other hand, the current competition in the online car-hailing market has long since gotten rid of the simple battle of new and subsidy, and evolved into a three-dimensional war across the upstream and downstream of the industry.

　　According to Aurora Big Data statistics, as of the end of 2017, the market penetration rate of online car-hailing apps was 14%, and the market size exceeded 140 million people. Dong Zhenning told reporters that from the current market situation analysis, it is difficult for a single online car-hailing platform to cover all regions, nor to meet the different needs of users. The current reality of taxi-hailing difficulties highlights this deficiency.

　　At present, the hottest topic in the travel market is "difficult to take a taxi". Recently, users in many cities have reported on the Internet that using online car-hailing platforms to take a taxi often encounters no answer or long queues. "Current ranking is 123rd, estimated waiting time is 2 hours", similar information appears on users’ mobile phone screens, on the one hand because of the hot weather in midsummer or the impact of natural factors such as heavy rain, on the other hand because of the management upgrades brought about by the implementation of new policies for online car-hailing in various places.

　　In early July, Beijing began to implement the new policy of online car-hailing management, "Beijing Municipal Regulations on Investigating and Punishing Illegal Passenger Transport," which further reduced the number of service vehicles and exacerbated the shortage of online car-hailing services. In this case, users usually choose to download a variety of different online car-hailing apps and try their luck one by one.

　　Dong Zhenning said that the launch of Autonavi’s ride-hailing business is based on this scenario, allowing users to simultaneously call Didi, Cao Cao, Shouqi, Shenzhou and other online ride-hailing services with one click, and prioritize service providers with fast response speed.

　　According to the reporter, when a user takes a taxi through Autonavi, although all the processes are completed within the Autonavi app, in fact, the payment amount of the order, as well as the driver, vehicle, fee complaint and other travel services are all determined and provided by the connected online car-hailing platform.

　　A relevant person in charge of Didi Chuxing told the 21st Century Business Herald that for Didi, accessing an aggregation platform like Autonavi is actually equivalent to an additional channel and customer acquisition entrance. Moreover, the map app and the taxi service themselves have a high degree of compatibility, and users can directly order a car after searching for the route, which is a very close to the user’s life scenario.

　　The person in charge also expressed his doubts to the reporter, "In some specific circumstances, the online car-hailing market is in a state of shortage. Although the aggregation platform can improve the efficiency of car-hailing, if all platforms can’t get a car, the aggregation platform is actually powerless."

　　A product manager of a shared bicycle company admitted in an interview that for shared bicycles, the role of aggregation platforms is indeed very limited, because this is a market where supply exceeds demand. Users usually see what bicycles are parked on the roadside first, and then choose what app to use to unlock. "The market conditions of online car-hailing and shared bicycles are different. Even if the aggregation platform cannot change the supply of online car-hailing, it can also improve the efficiency of users."

　　From map to platform

　　During the interview, the reporter felt from Dong Zhenning’s description that Autonavi Maps’ ambition goes beyond just making a map tool product. In July last year, Autonavi launched a one-stop public travel service platform – the Easy Travel Platform, and recently, Autonavi Maps has completed the upgrade of the platform: from "one-stop public travel service platform" to "one-stop global travel service platform".

　　The difference in a few words has made a major change in the positioning of Autonavi. Dong Zhenning told reporters that the upgraded Easy Line platform will not only solve the problem of "how to go" for users, but also further help users decide "where to go".

　　Based on this change, Autonavi’s map partners have also begun to become more diverse. It is reported that in addition to the previous travel service providers, Autonavi has also added information partners such as the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, China Meteorological Administration, Ping An Bank, Atom Zhixing, 58 Express, Harrow Bicycle and other travel partners, as well as Cadillac, XPeng Motors, Chihiro Location and other car company partners.

　　In Dong Zhenning’s opinion, Autonavi’s business has spanned from taxi-hailing and automobiles to the current tourism, meteorological and financial fields, and is actually developing in the direction of "three-dimensional information services + global travel services". He believes that "travel in the real world is by no means a simple’A to B ‘, but all factors must be taken into account. Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate with partners in more fields and integrate more data and information."

　　According to the 21st Century Business Herald reporter, after Autonavi Maps was integrated into Alibaba Group in 2014, it immediately put forward a new slogan of "dedicated and professional", which began to streamline the core business and focus on map navigation services. This has also helped Autonavi’s market share continue to increase in recent years. According to QuestMobile data, as of March 2018, the number of daily active users of Autonavi Maps reached 60 million.

　　Nowadays, Autonavi’s new strategy seems to start to "simplify and simplify", in addition to map navigation, it also includes almost all travel-related information services. Dong Zhenning believes that this is Autonavi’s development in response to market changes, but the diversification of business is often accompanied by more competition and challenges. To truly become a comprehensive travel service platform, Autonavi still has a long way to go.

Andy Lau revealed that he took the initiative to take off his pants and wear underwear into the mirror, claiming that he was seduced by Li Bingbing with his back exposed

　　　　　　　 At the beginning of the film "Di Renjie", Li Bingbing undressed, stripped off her shirt, and sat on Andy Lau’s back naked, seducing him. At the most critical moment, the two were violently attacked. Li Bingbing dodged arrows while taking care of her clothes, playing very beautifully.

　　　　　　　 In "Di Renjie", Andy Lau’s big white underwear was even more startled. The director Xu Ke broke the news, "That was Andy Lau who took the initiative to take off his pants." Andy Lau hurriedly explained with a smile, "At that time, it was filmed that I pushed Li Bingbing away and then flew out to close the door to avoid the poisoned arrow. But Li Bingbing was taking off her clothes and pulling my pants to seduce me. How can I get out the fastest? I can only take off my pants. I know they want me to do it too, but they dare not say it, so I took the initiative."

　　　　　　　 Andy Lau admitted to "selling meat" in the film, "I sewed those ancient underwear by myself, and this is also the first time I wore underwear after the movie" Supreme ", but unfortunately I cut off a lot, you can’t see it." Li Bingbing laughed and said she was blessed, "I have seen it all, and the audience doesn’t have to regret it. I still keep a little bit in the finished film, everyone can buy the genuine DVD and play it slowly."

　　　　　　　 Although Carina Lau did not have an intimate scene with Andy Lau in the film, he also praised Andy’s good figure and hinted that he wanted to play a passionate scene with Andy Lau, "Andy Lau has a really great figure and is handsome. I really envy Li Bingbing for being able to shoot that scene with him (naked back seduction scene)!"
　

In "Celebration of the Year";

There are many murderers who killed Fan Xian’s mother, Ye Qingmei.

And among them, the biggest mastermind is the current Empress Dowager;

She personally saw Ye Qingmei sniping at the two princes overnight.

Because of fear.

And choose to avoid future troubles forever.

But all of this happened 10 years later.

Fan Xian found out.

The words went back.

Although in Kyoto,

There was no confirmed news of Emperor Qing’s death.

But this news did not come out of nowhere.

Emperor Qing went to Dadong Mountain to worship the sky,

And the three great masters gathered at Dadong Mountain,

The whole world has long been known by everyone;

Therefore, those people in Kyoto had to believe it.

At this moment, in the Qing Dynasty,

The prince and the eldest princess,

Already united with the Qin family,

Intends to usurp power.

And the first thing the prince has to deal with,

They are the brothers who may threaten their throne.

First of all, the third child who went to Jiangnan with Fan Xian,

It was someone he had to deal with.

But just as the prince was about to make his move,

The third prince was taken away by the first prince,

Sent to a safe place.

And the other princes,

Not so lucky,

They all died under the plan of the Crown Prince.

And at this time, Fan Xian,

I found a hospital on the way.

Treat yourself to a wound.

And then it goes on and on.

They rushed back to Kyoto.

Because the First Prince controlled the Imperial Army and the Kyoto Garrison Division,

So after Fan Xian returned,

There was no hindrance.

Even if he is now.

He was branded a rebellion.

"How dare you come back now?"

After the First Prince met Fan Xian,

Immediately put it away.

Taken to a hidden place,

To prevent Fan Xian from returning to Beijing;

Be informed by others.

"How is the situation in Kyoto now?"

Fan Xian didn’t have any nonsense.

He directly asked the First Prince about the situation in Kyoto.

Soon the First Prince will also change the current situation;

They all informed Fan Xian.

Empress Dowager did not immediately attack Fan Mansion.

It was also unexpected to him.

At least it shows that she doesn’t believe it.

Fan Xianhui assassinated Emperor Qing.

And then, right after that.

Fan Xian took out the secret letter between the jade seal and Emperor Qing.

You see these two things.

The First Prince instantly understood.

Express willingness to assist Fan Xian with all his strength.

In this way, Fan Xian began to plan with the First Prince.

The first thing they have to deal with,

It was the Qin family rebel who had come to Kyoto.

If the prince wants to ascend the throne smoothly,

Relying solely on a name;

Is unlikely.

We still need the help of the military.

The Qin Family was the best choice.

The prince also promised,

After he has successfully risen to the top;

It will give the Qin family the highest power in the military.

After that, the Qin family was still the first person in the military.

Even after a hundred years of Qin Ye,

His descendants,

You can still enjoy this treatment.

This deal is for Qin Ye.

Too tempting.

And so it began.

I used all my strength.

Prepare to enter Kyoto.

Help the prince win the throne.

But Fan Xian naturally wouldn’t let the prince plot;

And it worked.

With the help of the First Prince,

Plus the jade seal and the letters of Emperor Qing that he carried,

Soon, Fan Xian successfully entered the palace.

Then let the forbidden army;

Controlled the eldest princess and the prince,

He also immediately walked into the Empress Dowager’s bedroom.

"Empress Dowager,

In the name of His Majesty,

Come here to escort, "

Fan Xian wrote the handwritten letter of Emperor Qing;

To the Queen Mother,

He stood aside very orderly,

Waiting for the Queen Mother’s response.

Soon, the Empress Dowager finished reading the letter.

He nodded slightly.

Let Fan Xiao handle it.

Next up in Kyoto.

After receiving the promise of the Queen Mother,

Fan Xian’s first thing;

He took a pill out of his chest.

With lightning speed;

Sent into the mouth of the Empress Dowager.

"Sorry.

Please stay in the palace quietly, Empress Dowager. "

After Fan Xian fed the Empress Dowager the medicine,

He walked out of the harem without looking back.

And the Queen Mother took the pill.

I found myself unable to make a sound.

I could only watch helplessly as Fan Xian left.

There was endless resentment in his eyes.

After Fan Xian walked out of the harem,

He looked up at the sky.

He murmured something.

"Mom,

Today is also considered revenge for you. "

Fan Xian has been around for several years.

Through the power of the Inspectorate,

Learned that the Queen Mother was the beginning;

One of the people who killed Ye Qingmei,

Therefore, this hatred,

Naturally, he had to take the opportunity to report it.

It’s just the medicine that Fan Xian gave the Empress Dowager;

It’s not poison.

Because Fan Xian couldn’t afford to murder the Empress Dowager either.

In fact, the medicine that Fan Xian gave the Empress Dowager,

It was given to him by Fei Suke before.

While in Tanzhou,

Fei Jie noticed that Fan Xian was practicing domineering true qi,

In order to prevent Fan Xian from losing control;

That domineering energy,

When they leave,

I handed over the medicine to Fan Xian.

Tell him when he can’t control it.

Then eat it.

This medicine is not a poison.

It’s an undoing medicine.

After eating it, all the power in the body will be removed.

And it will also devour a certain amount of vitality.

This medicine Fan Xian has always carried with him,

Although it is a life-saving medicine,

But he never dared to eat.

Because he is reluctant.

His own skills.

And now it is delivered to the Queen Mother’s mouth.

It can be regarded as completing the mission of this medicine.

It will speed up and take away the life of the queen mother,

But there will be no symptoms of poisoning.

In a few days, the Empress Dowager will run out of oil and leave,

Even the imperial physician couldn’t find the reason.

This is what Fan Xian can think of;

The best way.

Now the prince and the eldest princess;

It’s all under control.

He only needed to bring the First Prince.

Just go and deal with the rebels sent by the Qin family.

As long as these rebels are dealt with,

Then the entire Gyeongkungu Kyoto;

He alone has the final say.

And pretty soon,

The pro-soldiers raised by the Qin family;

They arrived outside of Kyoto.

At this time, the First Prince also brought the Imperial Army and the Kyoto Garrison Division.

It’s ready at the city gate.

As soon as the rebels arrived,

The heavy crossbow machine above the city gate began to launch.

The war between the two armies was about to break out.

At this moment, throughout Kyoto,

There is only Fan Xian, a ninth-grade master.

It seems that the entire Qing Dynasty;

It was already in his hands.

But around Fan Xian’s heart,

There is also a big mystery.

That is whether Emperor Qing can;

In that earth-shattering battle of grandmasters,

Successfully survived.

In the Battle of Dadongshan in "Qing Yu Nian";

Emperor Qing’s plan;

It’s step by step.

He first let Fan Xian leave Wuzhu to protect himself;

Then let Hong Siitch attract firepower;

He also conspired with Ye Liuyun to temporarily change his mind;

Attack the other two great masters from behind.

However, the deepest hidden Emperor Qing;

Haven’t shot yet.

The conversation continued.

Go back in time to the Battle of Dadongshan;

The moment Emperor Qing was attacked by Ye Liuyun and Four Gu Swords,

At this moment, Ye Liuyun;

He had already arrived in front of Emperor Qing.

He stretched out his hands.

He gently touched Emperor Qing in front of him.

And the sword of Sigujian,

Has pierced the air;

In an instant, he came to Emperor Qing’s back.

The original inevitable situation,

But in an instant;

There have been earth-shattering changes.

That was Ye Liuyun’s hand.

When approaching Emperor Qing.

Suddenly reversed direction,

He stroked towards the sword behind Emperor Qing.

It lightly pressed on the sword.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun also showed;

Your true position.

He stood on Emperor Qing’s side.

The officials saw Ye Liuyun;

After blocking the sword,

They all breathed a sigh of relief.

The apparent situation.

It wasn’t as bad as they had imagined.

In fact, Sigujian and Kuhe,

Although I didn’t think of Ye Liuyun;

Will stand on the side of Emperor Qing.

But both of them.

They also thought of the cunning of the people of Qing,

So until the last moment,

He would never allow himself to be in danger.

And this sword of the Four Gujian,

It broke Emperor Qing’s game.

Forced out of this big east mountain;

The real killer move was Ye Liuyun.

If before four Gu sword and bitter lotus;

They all used their trump cards.

Then Ye Liuyun would easily break into his back.

The two of them instantly.

It will be explained at the top of this Dadong Mountain.

Thinking of this,

In the hearts of the two.

A chill could not help but rise.

The current situation,

Already from the original three to two;

It became two against three.

Sigujian has been officially;

He withdrew his sword.

Although he and Kuhe,

They have all seen the current situation clearly.

But there is no turning back arrow when the bow is opened;

This was also the essence of Sword Intent Around.

Immediately after, Sigujian went again;

Instill the sword intent into the sword;

Then he rushed towards Ye Liuyun in an instant,

He spent all his life.

The strongest sword,

He intended to kill Ye Liuyun completely.

This sword instilled four Gu swords;

The whole person’s life and spirit.

And the condensation of beliefs.

In today’s world, no one can stop it.

Even Ye Liuyun, who is also a great master.

At this time, Ye Liuyun stood by Emperor Qing’s side,

He has no choice.

Avoid this sword.

Because once you get out of it,

Emperor Qing would be struck by this sword.

Smashed into mud.

Seeing that Emperor Qing was in a critical moment,

Wuzhu stood aside.

Still no intention of making a move,

It seems that everything is left to Ye Liuyun to resist.

Knowing that he could not stop this sword,

Ye Liuyun still chose to head on.

He used Flowing Cloud Sanshou to slap at Sigujian.

In fact, this is also Ye Liuyun;

The best option.

If Sigujian ignored Liuyun Sanshou,

This sword will kill Ye Liuyun;

Minced into slices of meat.

But once he avoids sanshou,

With a thought,

Spirit in the sword;

It also dispersed.

It can be said that Ye Liuyun is using his life;

To force Sigujian to make a choice;

Go to gamble that Four Gu Jian was seriously injured.

Once Si Gu Jian was seriously injured,

Just a bitterness;

It is impossible to win the joint efforts of Hong Sixiang and Wuzhu.

But the truth is,

Ye Liuyun can die,

However, Sigujian could not be seriously injured.

Just this white chi;

It’s really white chi to the extreme.

In the end, he still did not change his sword.

It was as if he couldn’t see the shot.

But the sword in his hand tilted slightly,

He pointed at Emperor Qing beside Ye Liuyun.

Although this move consumed a part of the sword intent,

But the power was also enough to kill Emperor Qing.

At this time, Ye Liuyun also knew;

I made a wrong bet.

Bai chi cannot be inferred from ordinary people.

In fact, when the four-look sword was unleashed.

Whether it is imposing or intelligent,

They had already suppressed Ye Liuyun.

It was he who gave Ye Liuyun a problem.

This white chi is not really white chi.

At least not at this moment.

At this moment, on the top of the eastern mountain,

Four great masters and a generation of kings;

All lived a seemingly long,

But in fact,

But it happened very quickly.

And the battle between Hong Sixiang and Kuhe,

It’s also the final part.

Because Emperor Qing let go of Hong Sixiang’s hand,

It caused the overbearing true qi in Hong Sixiang’s body;

Unload it all.

The last palm of the bitter lotus;

He stroked Hong Sixiang’s chest.

No more overbearing resistance.

It easily shattered Hong Sixiang’s chest.

At this moment, Hong Sixiang’s life;

It has also come to an end.

The balance of victory seems to be;

Tilted to the side of the two great masters.

But is that really the case?

Let’s talk next time.

The following story is even more exciting.

Updated once a day.

Remember to follow Ah Lele.

Responsible editor:

On July 14, Sailis released a pre-loss announcement for the first half of the year. According to the announcement, the official expects that the net profit attributable to the owner of the parent company in the first half of this year will be – 1.39 billion yuan to – 1.25 billion yuan, and the net profit attributable to the owner of the parent company after deducting non-operating gains and losses is expected to be – 1.93 billion yuan to – 1.80 billion yuan.

Regarding the reasons for the pre-loss of this period’s performance, the official pointed out that due to the promotion of the Quarter 1 automobile industry, users’ expectations that the M5 smart driving version will be released in the second quarter have a certain impact on the sales of existing models, so the company’s sales in the first half of the year did not meet expectations. At the same time, it also pointed out that high R & D investment in the core technology field of new energy vehicles has been maintained, and R & D and technical personnel have been continuously introduced, and R & D expenses have increased compared with the same period of the previous year. Regarding the follow-up development, the official said that with the launch of the M5 smart driving version and other new models, as well as the increase in overseas sales, the sales volume and profitability in the second

In fact, it is not surprising that Cyrus released the estimated loss in the first half of the year. Since Cyrus cooperated with Huawei, its losses have been increasing. According to the financial report data: Cyrus lost more than 10 billion yuan in the four years from 2019 to 2022, of which the non-net profit in 2019 was – 884 million yuan, in 2020 – 2.308 billion yuan, in 2021 – 2.793 billion yuan, and in 2022 – 4.296 billion yuan.

According to the data, the predecessor of Cyrus Group was Chongqing Xiaokang Industrial Group Joint Stock Company, which was established in September 1986. In April 2021, Xiaokang shares reached a cooperative relationship with Huawei. The two sides signed a memorandum of cooperation in the field of new energy vehicles and launched the first cooperative model Cyrus Huawei Smart Choice SF5. The new car was sold online on Huawei’s official website simultaneously, and entered Huawei stores and flagship stores at the same time. The price range is 21.68-24 6,800 yuan. Although both sides have given great resources to support the first model, Huawei Smart Choice SF5 sales are not ideal. In 2021, the annual sales volume of Cyrus SF5 was only 8,169 units.

In order to turn around sales, Xiaokang and Huawei cooperated again to launch the new energy brand AITO Wenjie. In 2022, three models of Wenjie/M5 EV and Wenjie M7 were launched one after another. With the launch of a number of models, the sales volume of Wenjie in 2022 has been rapidly improved, and the cumulative delivery volume for the whole year has reached 75,000. According to the official sales data, the cumulative production and sales volume of new energy vehicles of Cyrus in 2022 reached 139,132 and 135,054 respectively, an increase of 233.64% and 225.9% year-on-year respectively. Among them, the cumulative production and sales volume of Cyrus cars reached 83,701 and 80,041, an increase of 660.37% and 626.39% year-on-year. The world accounted for more than half of the sales volume of Cyrus in 2022.

After entering 2023, although Huawei and Cyrus are emphasizing that the cooperation between the two sides will be further deepened, the sales of the Q & A brand have been cold in the market. Of course, the decline in sales has something to do with Tesla’s announcement of a big price reduction at the beginning of the year. Although Q & A also followed up with the price reduction after Tesla announced the big price reduction. The maximum reduction of its three models was 30,000 yuan, but the price reduction did not stimulate sales growth. Relevant data show that the retail sales of AITO Q & A in the first half of 2023 were 23,246 vehicles.

In addition, after Ren Zhengfei signed the "Resolution on Huawei Not Building Cars" in March, it was a blow to Cyrus, which has always endorsed the Huawei brand. Or realized the crisis, on March 30, Cyrus launched its new brand "Blue Electricity" and launched its first model, priced 139,900 yuan – 151,900 yuan. It is understood that the Blue Electricity E5 uses BYD Freddie battery hybrid technology and Huawei’s smart car technology. After the launch, the sales of the Blue Electricity E5 were also unsatisfactory. Relevant data show that the sales of the Blue Electricity E5 were 250, 483 and 376 vehicles in the three months after the launch.

It is not difficult to see that the price war among automakers at the beginning of the year and Huawei’s reaffirmation that it will not build cars have had a certain impact on Sailis Automobile. After all, without Huawei’s halo, Sailis’ true appeal in the market is still very limited. Therefore, for the cooperation with Huawei, Sailis still actively cooperates. Sailis said that at the end of June, the company has established an "AITO Inquiry and Sales Service Joint Working Group" with Huawei to be responsible for the end-to-end closed-loop management of marketing, sales, delivery, service, channels and other businesses. This is also another milestone event for the two sides to promote deepening cooperation. In the future, with a firm new energy strategy, continuous R & D investment and the support of partners, it will continue to drive towards a new fast lane for new energy vehicles.

　　　CCTV News(Reporter, Wang Jiazu, Li Wenliang, Wang Xiaoying, Gao Yuting, Intern, Qi Chenji) "It has always been suggested that there are no cars nearby." This is a common feeling among many citizens who choose to ride online recently. Even during off-peak hours, it is not easy to take a taxi, and "the time to call a car has become longer" is becoming the norm in many cities.

　　Data from Didi Chuxing shows that the difficulty of hailing a taxi in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen has increased to varying degrees. In June this year, the difficulty of morning and evening peak taxi hailing in four places increased by 12.4%, 17.7%, 13.2% and 22.5% respectively compared with the same period last year. In Beijing, after the implementation of the new policy of online car-hailing, the passenger order of online car-hailing platforms fell by about 10%.

　　A year after the implementation of the new policy on online car-hailing, there are various signs that the previously surprising golden period of online car-hailing development is rapidly coming to an end. In some cities, online car-hailing is difficult to get, and drivers must increase their fares to accept orders. And the behavior of traditional taxis such as refusal and bargaining has not been significantly improved by the legalization of online car-hailing.

　　What’s wrong with the online car-hailing market, and how should it be managed? Can returning to "taxi-hailing difficulty" make relevant departments reflect on the new policy?

　　Online taxi: "There are no cars available nearby"

　　On July 27, 2016, the Ministry of Transport and seven ministries jointly promulgated the Interim Measures for the Administration of Online Booking Taxi Business Services (hereinafter referred to as the "Measures"). China became the first country in the world to recognize the legal status of online car-hailing nationwide. Subsequently, detailed implementation rules have been issued in various parts of China. According to media statistics, 133 cities have announced new policies on online car-hailing.

　　Recently, CCTV reporters visited the online car-hailing market in many cities in China and found that the number of online car-hailing has decreased significantly since the implementation of the New Deal for more than a year, making it difficult to take a taxi.

　　From August 19th to 22nd, the reporter tried to play Didi Express at different times and locations in Beijing for three consecutive days. Only around 10 am on the 19th, a driver took the order at Chaoyangmen Subway Station in Chaoyang District and came within two minutes. The rest of the time, such as the morning peak on the 21st, at Landianchang South Road, Haidian District, the order with Didi Express has always been displayed as "no car available nearby"; at 7 pm on the 22nd, at the south of Hangkong Bridge, Didi Express also displayed "no car available nearby".

　　At the same time in Jinan, Shandong Province, the reporter used Didi to take a taxi many times with only one success. At 7:30 am on the 22nd, Yanzi West Road, with Didi to call an order, no one took the order twice in a row, showing "no car available nearby". At around 8 o’clock, there was still no one taking the order at the intersection of Ping and Shandong University, which also showed "no car available nearby". In addition, the reporter also found in real time in many other areas that the mobile phone client side showed that the express train "There are fewer vehicles nearby and the waiting time is long". Only at 3 pm on the 22nd, the reporter used Didi to call a taxi near Qianfoshan Hospital in Shandong Province.

　　At around 3:00 pm on August 24, the reporter used Didi Taxi to book a taxi in Anning District, Lanzhou, Gansu Province, and tried three times without anyone taking the order. Then he used Didi Express four times, each time at an interval of 5 minutes, and still no one answered. Most of the time, the map showed that there were no vehicles nearby.

　　That day in Yinchuan City, Ningxia, the reporter sent out orders during off-peak hours. The mobile phone software showed that the vehicle would arrive within 1 to 4 minutes, making it easier to take a taxi. However, in places slightly away from the city, such as Beita Lake, Huabo Park, and Shenyang Road, no one answered the order after 1 minute.

　　Why is it not easy to play online car-hailing? The subsidy is less, and the threshold is higher.

　　Compared with the "golden period" two years ago, online car-hailing is obviously not so easy to get. What is the reason?

　　Mr. Zong, 33, lives in the high-tech zone of Jinan City. He is a part-time driver of Didi Express and has been driving fast for more than a year. At first, he took the car to join the express team because his friend had a good income from driving fast. He said that at that time, because of various subsidies, his income was very good. At one point, he wanted to quit his job to drive fast. The most impressive order was to pull passengers to catch the train during peak hours, and the customer gave 2.5 times the reward.

　　But this year, the "money scene" has begun to dim. He is glad that he did not quit his job. Many of his friends who drove fast cars in the past have already found other jobs. Mr. Zong believes that the main reason for the current lack of online car-hailing is that subsidies are less, and driving cannot earn money.

　　"Sometimes I work until the early morning at night, and sometimes I can earn about 100 yuan for running on weekends. If I make this money, if I get a violation of regulations or something, I won’t be able to scratch it." Mr. Zong said that in the future, it will depend on how the implementation rules of Jinan are determined. According to the requirements in the exposure draft, his own private car will definitely not meet the conditions, and the cost will definitely increase greatly if it is converted to a operating vehicle. If it is not cost-effective, it will not be opened.

　　Mr. Li of Yinchuan, Ningxia, has been running an express car for three years with his own 50,000 yuan private car. He chose to change careers this year because "there is no subsidy and he can’t make money." Mr. Li told reporters that many people buy cars worth tens of thousands of yuan to run Didi Express. According to the rules, the peers he knows are not up to standard.

　　A staff member of an online car-hailing agency in Yinchuan City told reporters that the current Didi platform has begun to block the express numbers of substandard vehicles one after another. Among the drivers of Didi Express in Yinchuan, 80% of the cars or drivers do not meet the online car-hailing standards.

　　The decrease in the number of online car-hailing, on the one hand, makes consumers feel that the car is not easy to play, but also makes other express drivers who choose to stay feel better. In Beijing, Yu Sijia, who was born in 1989, has been driving online car-hailing for a year and a half. At the end of last year, he successfully obtained the online car-hailing driver qualification certificate with a high score of 90 points. He told reporters that even if he has a good order income on weekdays, he still likes to take orders at night, because there are fewer owners who come out to take orders than in the past.

　　Mr. Yang of Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, who bought an Audi A4 sports car, said that compared with the past, there are significantly fewer people in sports cars, and the work is easier than before, because the threshold has been raised. "You drive a car with tens of thousands of dollars to run a special car. To be honest, it is not fair to us. Fortunately, many people quit after the details came out."

　　Expert consultation: The threshold should be kept as low as possible

　　Is it right to strictly control online car-hailing through high thresholds? Is there any indisputable place in the new policy of online car-hailing?

　　According to data from the Ministry of Communications, there are currently more than 130 online car-hailing platform companies planning to carry out online car-hailing business, and 19 online car-hailing platform companies have obtained business licenses in relevant cities, but only 100,000 online car-hailing driver licenses have been issued in various places. On the demand side, as of December last year, the number of online taxi booking users reached 225 million. A mere 100,000 licensed online car-hailing drivers are facing the demand of more than 200 million people. Even with taxis, the contradiction between supply and demand in the market is also very sharp.

　　"The regulations of’Beijing Renjing License ‘and’Shanghai Renren Shanghai License’ have caused a large number of original online car-hailing drivers to be unable to continue on the road, resulting in a serious imbalance between supply and demand," Ye Qing, a professor at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, told CCTV. Professor Ye Qing has written to the National Two Sessions for eight consecutive years to demand "bus reform" and is known as the first person in China’s bus reform. He said: "The management department has relatively high requirements for online car-hailing, but I think there is a way to solve this problem, that is, what is the standard of taxis in the city? The standard of online car-hailing is based on this standard, which is not lower than or parallel to the taxi standard, because a city’s taxis should pay attention to both economy and safety."

　　Ye Qing said that too harsh conditions are suspected of being unfair. As long as the driver of the online car-hailing car has no illegal record and meets the driving age and other conditions, he can drive the online car-hailing car after passing the test. "To improve the online car-hailing system, especially when formulating regulations at the local level, the threshold should be lowered as much as possible."

　　Cheng Huiqiang, a researcher at the Development Research Center of the State Council, also said in an interview with the media that the government should conduct big data analytics and urban transportation capacity assessments while strengthening supervision, so that the transportation capacity can be matched with the city’s transportation operation to meet the public’s travel needs.

　　Xu Kangming, the Ministry of Transport’s chief expert on deepening taxi reform, told the media that if the city’s transportation capacity can be fully tapped, the problem of taxi-hailing difficulties can be solved. He believes that the transportation capacity of cruise taxis and compliant online car-hailing has not been fully released. It is necessary to let the full potential of legal compliance be realized, and at the same time, it is necessary to allow some time for vehicles and personnel that meet the new regulations to enter the market.

　　Recently, the professional difficulties of some online platform takeaway brothers have attracted much attention to takeaway platforms and algorithm systems.

　　"Xinhua View" reporter survey found that takeaway brothers have become a high-risk group of traffic accidents, and the algorithm labeled as accurate, reasonable and optimized has triggered extensive discussion in the industry.

　　"The first thing I think of when I get up from a crash is not to time out"

　　In recent years, the booming takeaway industry has reshaped people’s daily lives and become an important breakthrough point for economic development and employment in various places. According to a report released by Meituan, in 2019, the total number of takeaway riders who earned income through the platform reached 3.987 million, an increase of 23.3% over 2018; in the first half of this year, the total number of riders who earned income on the Meituan platform reached 2.952 million, a significant increase of 16.4% year-on-year.

　　The relatively high income, stable salary payment and flexible working hours are the reasons why many workers are attracted to the food delivery industry. Wu Zhaoyun, a 35-year-old food delivery brother in Guangzhou, said that he has worked in factories, hotels and property companies. Since joining the food delivery team in 2017, he "feels that this career is very promising."

　　While the number of takeaway riders continues to grow, takeaway brothers have become a group with a high incidence of traffic accidents. In recent years, there have been vicious traffic accidents in many places in China where takeaway brothers have caused deaths due to running red lights and violating the rules.

　　The reporter learned from the Shenzhen traffic police department that in August this year alone, Shenzhen investigated and dealt with 12,000 traffic violations in the express delivery and takeaway food delivery industry, accounting for more than 10% of the total number of non-motor vehicle violations. The Shanghai medical emergency center healthcare workers said that they would encounter rider-related orders every week in August.

　　"Rush" is the core reason. One rider said the delivery time given to him by the platform around 2018 was 40 minutes per order, but it was later compressed to 30 minutes. "Sometimes it takes 20 minutes to get takeaway from the merchant, and the remaining 10 minutes I have to ride 3km, run into the community, and wait for the elevator to go upstairs," he said.

　　The main basis for the platform to compress time is the algorithm system based on big data and artificial intelligence. There is also a complete set of strict assessment mechanisms in cooperation with the algorithm system: on the one hand, the takeaway platform incentivizes takeaway riders to receive as many orders as possible with "price-per-order"; on the other hand, the platform strictly restricts riders through assessments such as on-time rate, bad review rate, and cancellation of order volume due to delivery reasons. The reduction in on-time rate means that takeaway riders lose the "order-taking advantage" in the platform’s algorithm, and will also be reduced in the internal ranking, missing various rewards.

　　This "algorithm plus assessment" mechanism has multiplied the psychological pressure of practitioners. One rider said that once he collided with an electric car, "the first thing he thought of when he got up was that he couldn’t time out, and he didn’t care about how the other party and himself were injured. Now I think it’s ridiculous."

　　Why are algorithms "out of control"?

　　Several industry insiders believe that the deep problems behind the "algorithmic dilemma" deserve attention.

　　On the one hand, the platform is "competing to the bottom", resulting in the "imbalance" of the algorithm.

　　Data show that as of the second quarter of 2020, Meituan takeaway and Ele.me have captured nearly 95% of the market share in the takeaway industry.

　　Ma Liang, a professor at the School of Public Administration of Renmin University of China, believes that the short and concentrated characteristics of the takeaway industry determine that competition among enterprises is increasingly focused on the speed of food delivery, resulting in algorithms that should have integrated multiple indicators, ignoring the safety and stress of riders.

　　"The food delivery industry has actually formed a’race to the bottom ‘, that is, constantly testing the bottom line indicator of delivery time. After exhausting all the competitive parameters, the pressure is pushed to the rider, resulting in the rider being at the limit and overloaded," he said.

　　On the other hand, complex employment relationships lead to the transfer of risk, resulting in the algorithm’s "default".

　　The reporter learned from the research that most food delivery riders have formed a complex employment relationship with the food delivery platform. Many food delivery riders often do not sign contracts directly with the platform, but sign contracts with third-party labor service companies through some apps, and the labor service companies change frequently. When an accident occurs, it is easy to lead to multiple parties kicking each other.

　　In a case of a takeaway rider hitting a pedestrian, the rider said that he joined a takeaway platform in September 2018. At first, the labor agreement on the app showed that the employer was Ningbo Yumi Company; in August 2019, the agreement on the app was changed to Hangzhou Bangmang Company. He did not know who the employer was. During the court hearing after the accident, neither Ningbo Yumi nor Hangzhou Bangmang admitted that Huang was his employee.

　　Liu Bo, the judge of the Huangpu District People’s Court in Guangzhou who was in charge of the case, said that in terms of the contract, the relationship between the rider and the labor service company is a labor relationship, but in fact the relationship between the labor service company and the rider is very loose. The platform uses the number of orders received and customer complaints to assess the rider, acting as an "employer." In the event of a traffic accident, the platform hides behind the labor service company and does not take any responsibility.

　　Under the current laws and regulations, the traffic police cannot punish the enterprise, but only the rider. In the event of a traffic accident, the rider, not the enterprise, needs to bear the cost of violating the law and the risk of disability and death.

　　Algorithms alone are not enough

　　In the face of social doubts, Ele.me said it would launch new features as soon as possible – "I am willing to wait 5 minutes/10 minutes more" buttons for consumers to choose from, while Meituan said it would improve the scheduling system to give riders 8 minutes of flexible time.

　　Some interviewees believe that to solve the dilemma faced by takeaway riders, the most important thing is that platform companies can face up to, respect, and truly protect the rights and interests of workers, rather than allowing algorithms to become cold tools that only make money for enterprises.

　　In recent years, in the face of the challenges of emerging business models, many places have begun to increase management efforts. For example, Foshan, Guangdong has built 89 fixed traffic safety education points to increase traffic safety education for delivery couriers and other groups; for takeaway enterprises with many traffic violations and weak traffic safety management, Foshan public security traffic police organized interviews with business leaders.

　　Ma Liang suggested that the emerging business will inevitably pose an impact and challenge to the existing laws and regulations, and the general laws involving the protection of workers’ rights and interests, occupational safety, and safe production need to be revised in a timely manner. Issues directly related to a certain industry also need to be responded to in a timely manner by new regulations.

　　In addition, the problems of the food delivery industry involve multiple departments, and the main regulatory departments should be further clarified to correct the disorderly competition behavior. Ma Liang also suggested that the food delivery riders belong to the "safety production problem in the flow" and should also be included in the assessment system of local governments to strengthen the local government’s supervision and law enforcement responsibilities.

It is difficult to say whether it is a curse or the times. In the past 20 years, among the many car companies in China, the success rate of those who want to engage in multi-brand strategies is not very high. But what is interesting is that even if there are so many lessons from the past, there are always car companies who want to test the waters of multi-brand strategies.

Previously, the official Weibo of Geely Automobile Group announced a set of information. On February 23, Geely will officially release the "Geely Brand New Energy Strategy" at the main venue of the Hangzhou Asian Games, and launch Geely’s mid-to-high-end new energy series models. It is reported that the new brand may be named "Galaxy", while the official Weibo of Geometry Automobile seems to reveal that the brand will be named "Galaxy" when forwarding the news.

It is worth noting that Geely Automobile’s current sub-brands are quite rich. In addition to the main brand Geely, it includes many brands such as Extreme Krypton, Lynk, Ruilan, Radar, Geometry, etc. If the acquired brands are included, it will be even richer. Now, with the news of the debut of the "Galaxy" brand, it means that Geely’s huge brand matrix will add another one.

On the surface, the huge brand matrix seems to demonstrate the strength of Geely Automobile, but it is still difficult to determine whether too many sub-brands are good or bad for Geely. As for whether it can break the curse of Chinese car companies’ difficulty in promoting multi-brand strategies, it is even more difficult to judge.

There are many lessons from the past, how did Geely break the game?

Judging from past experience, there are few successful cases of Chinese car companies implementing multi-brand strategies. Among them, Chery, as a pioneer, once formed a multi-brand operation structure including Chery, Kerry, Ruiqi, Wellin, Kaiyi and Qoros. But a cruel reality is that almost all of the above-mentioned brands except Chery have failed, and Chery has also begun to divest sub-brands in the long process of development, and finally only brought Jietu and Xingtu two brands with a certain amount of volume.

A more recent example is Great Wall Motors. Although it formed five brands with Haval, Wei brand, Euler, tank, and Great Wall pickup truck, it was once brilliant. Wei Jianjun, the founder of Great Wall Motors, also once used "our Great Wall Motors and other car companies are different in the path of branding, because we build brands by category" to demonstrate the success at that time.

But a reality that can be seen is that in the organizational restructuring at the end of last year, Great Wall Motors began an all-round resource integration, with only one core, "ONE GWM", that is, a Great Wall. Several of its major brands no longer fight each other, but began to gather resources. And this, to some extent, has subverted the previous business philosophy of Great Wall Motors "one car, one brand, one company".

As for the reasons, it is also easy to understand. Having more children is easy to fight, but it is also more troublesome to divide the family property. Lin Shi, secretary general of the China-Europe Association of Intelligent Networked Vehicles, told the editor of "Dogo Talk Car" that the advantage of the multi-brand strategy is that it can launch more models to meet market demand, and it is also conducive to the sharing of internal resources of car companies. However, at the same time, models are easy to overlap in terms of positioning and price, which forms internal friction. In addition, sub-brands need to add teams in production and service, which requires higher management and marketing requirements for car companies.

What’s more, from the launch of Geely brand and Lynk & Co brand plug-in hybrid models, Geely’s overall electrification is almost inevitable. Whether the emergence of a new brand will plunder the market of Geely’s original new energy brand and fuel vehicle brand, and form internal friction with them, who can predict?

History is strikingly similar, but not today.

Yang Xueliang, senior vice-president of Geely, previously said in an interview: "The mid-to-high-end new energy series has three power forms: pure electric, plug-in hybrid, and extended range hybrid. The new series will adopt a new design language and intelligent configuration, and emphasize user direct connection in operation." According to market news, the positioning of "Galaxy" may be between geometric and polar krypton, focusing on 20-300,000 yuan market.

That is to say, intuitively, Geely’s new brand can be distinguished from Geely’s existing new energy sub-brands, but this may not be the reason why Geely can successfully implement a multi-brand strategy. After all, every Chinese car company that implements a multi-brand strategy has more or less different sub-brands, and even Great Wall Motor’s "category distinction" is more obvious, but Great Wall Motor still chooses resource integration.

As the saying goes, "history is always strikingly similar", Geely’s multi-brand strategy may not necessarily succeed. But as the saying goes, "today is different". A significant difference from previous years is that China’s new energy vehicles have developed very rapidly in recent years, and the new energy vehicle market is also growing rapidly. Data show that the penetration rate of new energy vehicles will increase to 25.6% year-on-year in 2022. There is no doubt that this is a terrible data and an opportunity for Chinese car companies.

In addition, when Chinese automakers pursued multi-brand strategies before, the technology of Chinese automakers was generally average, and the brand perception was relatively low-end. But today is different. Take Geely as an example, its vast architecture has become the cradle of luxury car brands such as smart and Jidu, and its Raytheon Hi-P/F hybrid system has also become a popular choice in the current market. The industry change initiated by new energy vehicles is reshaping the ranking of automakers. Participants believe that they can benefit from it, and Geely is obviously one of them.

However, it may be important to note that even if a multi-brand strategy is implemented, it is still necessary to ensure the strength of the main brand. No matter whether it is Ford, BMW, or Toyota, Tesla, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and other international well-known car companies, there are many sub-brands, but they still have a main brand that can stand alone and even resist fierce competition and changes in the economic cycle. Of course, whether "Galaxy" is a product series or a "brand" is still uncertain, and the meaning of the two is still different.

The cornerstone of the First Automobile Factory engraved with Mao Zedong’s inscription

In May 1958, China’s first "Dongfeng" brand car was successfully trial-produced

In the early days of the founding of New China, Mao Zedong said: What can we make now? We can make tables and chairs, tea bowls and pots, grow grain, grind flour, and make paper, but we can’t make a car, an airplane, a tank, or a tractor.

Achieving socialist industrialization is a natural requirement and a necessary condition for a country to become independent and prosperous, and is the foundation and premise for building a modern socialist power. During the "First Five-Year Plan" period, the state concentrated its resources to establish an independent and relatively complete industrial system and national economic system in a short period of time, achieving rapid growth of the national economy, which was of far-reaching significance to China’s later industrial development.

The cornerstone of the "First Automobile Factory Groundbreaking Memorial" displayed in the History Exhibition Hall of the Communist Party of China, inscribed by Mao Zedong, is 120.5 centimeters long, 70 centimeters high, 5.5 centimeters thick, and weighs 250 kilograms. The texture of white marble is an important witness to the history of industrial construction in New China.

On June 15, 1953, Mao Zedong delivered a speech at the Politburo meeting of the Central Committee, formally proposing the general line for the transition period. Faced with the lack of funds, technology and talents, to establish China’s own industrial system, it is necessary to formulate detailed plans and concentrate the limited human, material and financial resources to build a number of urgently needed major projects.

Under the personal guidance of Mao Zedong and the direct help of the Soviet Union, the first five-year plan was formulated by Zhou Enlai, Chen Yun, Li Fuchun, etc., and the strategic decision to give priority to the development of heavy industry was made. Adhering to the policy of "self-reliance first, and foreign aid as a supplement", the preliminary industrial layout was completed. During the "First Five-Year Plan" period, a total of 694 large and medium-sized construction projects were arranged, and 921 were actually constructed, including 156 construction projects aided by the Soviet Union, focusing on the development of heavy industry, energy, raw materials, machine manufacturing and other basic industrial projects.

In 1953, the People’s Daily published a New Year’s Day editorial announcing that China had begun to implement the first five-year plan, calling on the people of the whole country to work together with one heart and one mind and actively strive for the realization of industrialization. Building a prosperous and strong modern industrial country is the dream of several generations of Chinese sons and daughters. Faced with the "poor and white" family background and the heavy blockade in the world, the Chinese people have a common dream, a foothold in the sky, and energy. Facing difficulties, the Chinese people have carried out large-scale industrial construction in full swing across the country.

As early as Mao Zedong’s first visit to the Soviet Union, he visited the Stalin Automobile Factory. At that time, he pointed to the cars that drove down the assembly line and said to his entourage: "We also want to have such a large factory!" On July 15, 1953, the first automobile industrial base of New China, Changchun First Automobile Factory, held a groundbreaking ceremony in a barren suburb of Changchun. Mao Zedong personally wrote the cornerstone inscription. Instead of adopting the proposed "Mao Zedong Automobile Factory" or "New China Automobile Factory", he named it the First Automobile Factory because he said: "We will soon have a second and a third."

600 million yuan was invested in the construction of the FAW, which is equivalent to one yuan for 600 million people in the country. On July 13, 1956, we forcefully announced that the first car in New China was successfully trial-produced. "From today onwards, the history of China’s inability to manufacture cars is over, and our own cars will be driven out of here more and more day by day." Mao Zedong personally picked up the pen and wrote the word "Liberation". The first batch of 12 "Liberation" brand cars drove off the assembly line and became an eternal and precious freeze frame in the history of the Republic. The rejoicing masses, as the song made up at that time sang: "Looking forward to the stars and the moon, the domestic car that I hoped for really left the factory." Just one year later, Changchun FAW completed the production of 4,000 vehicles stipulated in the first five-year plan six months and five days ahead of schedule.

In 1958, the Changchun FAW Factory produced China’s first domestically produced car, the Dongfeng brand car. After the manufacture was completed, it was instructed by the central government to be shipped by train to Beijing. When it drove off the platform, it was almost unable to leave the Beijing Railway Station due to the enthusiastic crowd competing to watch. Dongfeng originated from Mao Zedong’s famous statement on the international situation – "Dongfeng overwhelms the westerly wind". The word "Dongfeng" on the front of the car was originally Chinese pinyin. On the eve of the Dongfeng car arriving in Beijing and driving into Zhongnanhai, according to the suggestion of the then director of the General Office of the Central Committee ***, in order to highlight the cars produced by the Chinese themselves and replace them with Chinese characters, FAW staff went to the People’s Daily overnight to photocopy Mao Zedong’s original handwriting of "Dongfeng overwhelms the westerly wind". It was replaced in an auto repair shop in Dengshikou, and a golden dragon was about to be vacated in the front of the car, which was very Chinese. Mao Zedong took it in person and said happily: "We took a car made by ourselves!"

While the automobile industry was booming, various industrial categories were also in full swing. On December 26, 1953, the three major projects of Angang, consisting of a large rolling mill, a seamless steel pipe plant, and a No. 7 blast furnace, were completed and put into operation. At the same time, new steel production bases were deployed, and a new layout of the steel industry in New China was initially formed. The petroleum industry, chemical industry, and weapons industry have all achieved a certain degree of development, focusing on the construction of emerging industrial sectors such as aviation and electronics, and the creation of new cutting-edge industries in the nuclear and aerospace industries. In 1956, Shenyang Aircraft Factory produced the first new jet fighter; in 1958, the first Dongfanghong tractor was born in the first tractor factory located in Luoyang City… In that fiery construction era, China, which used to import iron nails and matches, achieved one zero breakthrough after another, and gradually established an industrial economic system under the leadership of the socialist state-run economy, which made our country’s industrial economy recover and develop rapidly under extremely difficult conditions.

Today, steel dragons meander vertically and horizontally, phoenixes spread their wings at Daxing Airport, Chang’e Tiangong catches the moon in nine days, and flood dragons and snow dragons catch turtles in five oceans. Over the past 70 years, China’s industry has achieved one "zero breakthrough" after another, and Chinese manufacturing and Chinese creation are gradually leading the world.
