Hong Kong: Refining waste cooking oil into biodiesel

  As an international food capital, Hong Kong is full of restaurants, attracting many diners from all over the world. In this era of worrying food safety, Hong Kong has already issued regulations on the management of waste oil and food waste in restaurants, and has kept the kitchen waste at all levels from the source to the end to prevent the waste oil from flowing back to the table, so that diners can have peace of mind.

    Filtration and separation of food residues to build a grease trap

  If we carefully observe the parking lots or underground floors of many Hong Kong buildings, people will find that there will be a square stainless steel tank with a size of about 10 cubic meters in the corner, which is connected with pipes leading to a certain part of the building. This stainless steel tank is a common grease trap in many restaurants and industrial buildings in Hong Kong. "It is necessary to build a grease trap, otherwise it is impossible to get a food license." There was such a law in Hong Kong decades ago, which is also a way for many restaurants in Hong Kong to dispose of kitchen waste.

  There are many fried and roasted dishes in Cantonese cuisine, which produce a lot of oil every day. After cooking, the oil needs to be replaced every day. The restaurant simply filters it and pours it into the oil drum, waiting for the recycling company to come to the door for recycling. According to Hong Kong’s Water Pollution Control Ordinance, the grease in food residue should be filtered and collected by oil separator.

  The Environmental Protection Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region explained that the direct discharge of food residues into sewage pipes would lead to the accumulation of oil dirt, and the drainage pipes would be blocked and stink, which would affect the environmental sanitation of restaurants and the surrounding areas. Therefore, restaurants in Hong Kong need to establish a grease trap to filter sewage again and collect grease. The collected waste oil is recycled by a special recycling company, and the Environmental Protection Department of the Hong Kong SAR Government also records and checks the relevant treatment of restaurants to prevent the possibility of waste oil flowing back to the dining table. According to the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, from the results of earlier spot checks, there was no use of waste oil in restaurants in Hong Kong.

  Production of diesel oil by recycling food waste oil

  So, where will these separated and recycled waste oils go? In Hong Kong, waste oil is regarded as a commodity sold by restaurants to recycling companies, so recycling companies need to pay restaurants, and waste oil has been professionally treated.

  In a free market like Hong Kong, recyclers will certainly not do business at a loss. The waste oil produced in restaurants brings business opportunities to recyclers. Biodiesel which can be used as automobile fuel can be produced by treating, reacting and separating the waste oil. As a new fuel with environmental benefits, biodiesel can help reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and it is now being widely promoted in western countries.

  In order to encourage the use of biodiesel, the Hong Kong SAR Government has introduced a tax-free preferential policy for automobile biodiesel to further promote the recycling of food waste oil. At present, there are three biodiesel producers in Hong Kong, which regularly collect waste oil from restaurants, properly collect it and transport it to factories for processing to generate biodiesel.

  From the filtration and separation of food residues to the recovery and treatment of waste oil, the Hong Kong SAR Government monitors the flow of waste oil at the source, encourages recycling at the end, and promotes the application of new fuels. In this way, waste oil can’t be quietly sold underground, but as a commodity to continue its use value. (Cao Haiyang Intern Ji Menghui)

Full Focus | Nanjing: Watch the finless porpoise for all! "seasonal restriction" along the Yangtze River

Autumn and winter are the best viewing seasons for finless porpoises. On November 18th, citizens’ representatives, volunteers and eco-photographers, as "finless porpoises observers", conducted a one-day observation at 13 observation points in Nanjing finless porpoises activity concentration.

It’s winter, and it’s also the active season for finless porpoises. Look, the lovely finless porpoise has appeared by the river in surprise!

Hua Chongxiao, a child, said, "I was very happy just now. The tail of the finless porpoise I photographed is a bit like love and very cute. I visited here once in the summer vacation, but I didn’t take a picture at that time. I am particularly lucky today, and I personally photographed the finless porpoise. " 

Chen Yuze, a child, said: "I came early this morning. I saw that the back of the finless porpoise is very smooth and its head is triangular. The finless porpoise is particularly cute, and I like it very much!" 

Jiang Meng, executive vice president and secretary general of Nanjing finless porpoise aquatic biology protection association, said: "This year is the third time in a row that Nanjing has held a nationwide observation. More than 200 people participated in the synchronous observation, which was distributed in these 13 points. There are not only professional monitoring personnel, but also nature photographers and nature lovers, as well as some social biology lovers, including many college student volunteers, and some citizens take their children to participate in this activity. " 

From September every year to March the following year, the Yangtze finless porpoise stably inhabits the waters of the riverside section of the Drum Tower. Near the Yangtze River Smile Station, the Yangtze finless porpoise can be only a few meters away from the shore, and people can watch them at close range. In this year’s national synchronous observation process, there are still many unexpected discoveries.

Jiang Meng also said: "This year, it is the first time that there is an official record at the newly added Sanshanji observation point, where finless porpoises are recorded. In the Song Dynasty, Kong Wuzhong, a famous poet, wrote a poem called "Three Mountains and Rocks": The Yangtze River under the Rocks wants to go back, and the finless porpoises are infested with waterfowl. This is also an important record of the cultural and historical relationship between Nanjing and the finless porpoise, so we feel particularly happy. There is another discovery this year. From 7: 00 in the morning, the activities of the Yangtze finless porpoise have been found at various observation points, indicating that the scope of the finless porpoise is gradually expanding. This is also a very good sign, and there are more places suitable for the finless porpoise city activities. "

The frequent appearance of finless porpoises shows that the ecological environment of the Yangtze River has been effectively improved, and the "ten-year fishing ban" has achieved remarkable results. I hope more and more finless porpoises can settle down in Nanjing and keep the lovely "giant pandas in the water"!

"Even if you are sealed as a’ God’, you can’t slack off."

Good article 3535 words | 6 minutes reading

The title map comes from the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City"

As a Shangchao brand, Fat Donglai is hot now, but it is an undeniable fact that Fat Donglai’s self-operated supermarket has never left Henan or even entered Zhengzhou, the provincial capital.

However, in the eyes of Yu Donglai, the founder of Fat Donglai, geographical limitations no longer seem to be a problem-when asked if Fat Donglai would drive to Zhengzhou, he replied: "If you go to Yonghui, you will come to Fat Donglai?"

The background of this question and answer is that Fat Donglai launched a 19-day explosion reform of Yonghui Supermarket Zhengzhou Xinwan Plaza Store. The product structure after the reorganization of the latter reached more than 90% of the product structure of Fat Donglai, including moon cakes, craft beer, fruit juice, laundry detergent and other products with "DL" logo.

According to media comparison, these private brand products are priced the same as those in the self-operated supermarket in Pangdonglai. In addition, the supermarket’s dynamic line layout, equipment and facilities, service capacity and employee welfare are all comprehensively studied.

From the user’s point of view, Zhengzhou consumers go to the Yonghui store mentioned above, and the shopping experience is indeed similar to that of Fat East. From the industry’s point of view, their own brands have been sold to more places through the explosion of stores, breaking the previous geographical limitations of Fat East and further enhancing the competitiveness and influence of Fat East. Pang Donglai also admitted that the development of private brands should be "benchmarked against world-class standards".

Obviously, Fat Donglai is playing a big game of chess.

The power of a craft beer

First of all, thanks to the strong traffic and brand effect of Fat Donglai, the explosion-reformed stores that cooperated with it received good results after resuming business.

Taking Yonghui Supermarket Zhengzhou Xinwan Plaza Store as an example, local media reported that on June 19th, the supermarket opened for business. In just one minute, there was no vacancy in the queue entry area of "Jiuqu Ileum", followed by current restriction, purchase restriction and waiting for one and a half hours, but it still failed to reduce the enthusiasm of consumers.

Yonghui Supermarket revealed that Zhengzhou Xinwan Plaza Store sold 1.88 million yuan on the first day of business resumption, which was 13.9 times the average daily sales before the reform; There were 12,926 passengers on that day, which was 5.3 times of the average daily passenger flow before the reform. "The reform has achieved remarkable results."

Yonghui Supermarket after the reform, Tuyuan Yonghui Supermarket

It is worth noting that, according to reports, Fat Donglai did not charge any fees and did not involve any return. "And many costs such as helping the team’s salary, transportation and accommodation are all borne by Fat Donglai."

Then, the question is coming. What does Fat East want? The answer is four words: own brand.

Still taking Yonghui Supermarket Zhengzhou Xinwan Plaza Store as an example, a large number of self-owned brand goods from Pangdonglai have settled in, among which DL craft wheat beer can be called the "most beautiful boy" in the store.

You know, this beer is still sold out when one person is limited to one case. That night, the store had to announce that due to the excessive passenger flow during the resumption of business after the reform, in order to ensure customer safety, the sales of DL craft beer were suspended.

A craft beer broke out with great power, showing the strength of Pangdonglai’s own brand, not only in Yonghui Supermarket Zhengzhou Xinwan Plaza Store, but also in other explosive stores.

For example, the relevant person in charge of BBK revealed that in May 2024, the sales of Pangdonglai’s own brand goods accounted for 28.22% of the total sales of BBK Changsha Meixihu Store.

This store is the first BBK store in Pangdonglai. At the beginning of the explosion, BBK said that the store would introduce "20 popular products worthy of recommendation from Pangdonglai", including DL craft wheat beer, DL orange juice, DL enzyme sterilization and mite removal laundry detergent, DL instant oatmeal and so on.

Fat people from the east are popular with self-operated goods, and the new retail business review photo.

Fat Donglai’s own brand products not only attract consumers who go shopping in supermarkets, but also appear in the purchasing service of "Changsha helps buy fat Donglai goods", and its appeal is self-evident.

Behind the popularity of Fat Donglai’s own brand, Chengdu Business Daily learned from the media "Red Star Capital Bureau" that Fat Donglai’s own brand products are not produced by itself, but rely on different suppliers.

A supplier revealed that the specifications and proportions of these products are customized, and they are produced by Pangdonglai and suppliers, with exclusive formulas, "not simple OEM products".

According to Zhuang Shuai, the founder of Bailian Consulting, Fat Donglai has made its own brand an independent brand by "helping" other supermarkets and completed multi-channel expansion.

In other words, after this campaign, Fat Donglai is not only a supermarket retailer, but also a brand with insight into consumer demand and holding many popular goods. The combination of the two has enhanced the competitiveness and influence of Fat Donglai.

"God" is not omnipotent

In the past two years, the influence of Fat Donglai has continued to rise, but in fact, it has been well-known before.

As early as 2017, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, visited Henan and specially went to Xuchang Pangdonglai Times Square for "pilgrimage study". In the micro-headlines released at that time, Lei Jun pointed out: "Fat people come from the east, and the retail industry in China has always existed like a god …"

Look at the influence of Fat Donglai now, especially the sales record won by other supermarkets after the explosive reform, which makes Fat Donglai have the meaning of being deified.

Why is Fat Donglai deified?

The New Retail Business Review believes that it is because the founder, Yu Donglai, stuck to the bottom line and meticulously and deeply implemented the altruistic spirit. In Donglai’s own words, "the best marketing is sincerity, and the best service is goods." As long as we persist in sincerity and insist on selling high-quality goods, there is no reason not to succeed. "

These words seem to be "the truth", but in fact they are a kind of strategy, especially for developing their own brands.

This is because, if you develop your own brand, you can gain a certain cost advantage without middlemen to earn the difference, and you can also sell at a low price. However, if you blindly pursue low prices, you may ignore the control of product quality, thus undermining consumers’ trust in products and brands, leading to "voting with your feet."

According to Lianshang. com, relevant investigation reports show that high-income consumers are more picky about where to buy their own brand products, and about 65% consumers only buy their own brands from certain stores they trust. "As a strategic breakthrough point for the future development of the industry, solving the problem of private brand trust is the key."

How can we solve the "trust problem" Here in Fat East, the solution can be summed up as "insisting on sincerity and selling high-quality goods".

The aforementioned DL craft beer is evidence. Some netizens compared and analyzed that DL craft beer pays attention to raw material selection and brewing technology. The ingredients list only contains water, barley malt, wheat malt, hops and yeast. It is brewed by traditional German technology, and its body is full of aroma. In a word, it rejected "technology and hard work".

Tuyuan JD.COM

The same is true of fruit juice. For example, the packaging of orange juice indicates that about 15 oranges are used for squeezing, and no preservatives are added, only water and concentrated fruit juice are used.

In an internal sharing, Yu Donglai reiterated that selling things is real and frank. "You are thinking about the society, and the society also gives you back trust." The result of trust must be beautiful.

It is not difficult to see that through high-quality goods and sincere service, Fat Donglai has established a sustained and solid trust relationship with consumers, which is the underlying logic for its own brand to be strong.

However, on the other hand, private brands need comprehensive operation. Even if they come from the fat east and emphasize "sincerity" and "quality", it is impossible to play every product.

In fact, "Red Star Capital Bureau" visited many stores in Xuchang and found that "Fat Donglai has almost no price advantage in Xuchang" among many categories of goods and services.

In terms of expansion, there are still some fresh products that have a large loss, and some products are not very popular-this is also easy to understand. At present, there are about 20 popular products among more than 400 private brand products from Fat East.

For this reason, Fat Donglai needs continuous and refined operation, and needs to rely on popular single products such as craft beer to keep the overall gross profit margin of Fat Donglai in the range of 4%~5%. Compared with the gross profit margin of the retail industry, which is usually below 3% or even at a loss, Fat Donglai’s achievement is more eye-catching, but there is still much room for improvement.

From this perspective, "God" is not omnipotent. Like other supermarkets, we can’t slack off in products, services and comprehensive operations.

See clearly the ambition from the fat east

After reading the above analysis, we can say that there is really no need to deify Fat East, but it is necessary to see the ambition of Fat East by combing the development of its own brand.

It is worth mentioning that, whether in the self-operated supermarket of Fat Donglai or in the supermarket of explosive reform, the ambition of Fat Donglai is publicly visible. According to the slogan content of these stores, the development standard of Fat Donglai’s own brand is "benchmarking world-class standards, independence, innovation, quality traceability, environmental protection and sustainability".

New retail business review photo

Recently, Ji Zhongzhan, an enterprise development strategy consultant who went to Xuchang to visit Pangdonglai, also wrote that "the products from Pangdonglai are first-line brands selected according to EU standards, or they can make their own brands according to world-class standards".

In other words, Fat Donglai demands himself by world-class standards and is in line with world-class enterprises.

"It will come to a certain time and become a member of the best sequence of world business." In an internal management sharing in February last year, Yu Donglai said: "In some respects, you are excellent, and in some respects, you may not be as good as others, but in general, you are creating beauty. In the future, you will be able to influence outstanding enterprises in the world like Costco, Sam Member Store, Ito Yokado and Oleqi, so that there is no competition between them, and they are all good and benign interactions with each other."

Taking these remarks apart, we can see that Costco, Sam member stores, Ito Yanghuatang and Oleqi are all deeply cultivating their own brands.

In the 2023 China Shangchao Private Brand Case Report issued by China Chain Store & Franchise Association, 10 private brand star commodity development cases from Shangchao and convenience store enterprises were selected, including Costco, Sam member store and Ito Yanghuatang.

As for Oleqi, it is one of the world-renowned low-priced supermarkets and pioneers of its own brand model, with 57 stores in Shanghai, which has a profound influence.

The long-term goal of Pangdonglai is not only to be in line with these "excellent enterprises in the world", but also to influence them in the future, to influence outstanding enterprises with world influence, and to jointly promote good business.

At this point, the big chess that Fat Donglai is playing is gradually clear. The question is, can it achieve the expected goal?

The development of private brands and the leap of influence can help achieve the goal, but the final result needs to be "double verified" by the market and time.

Exploring the third generation of Changan Yidong, starting from 70,900 after the discount, is this price fragrant?

For young people who have just worked, or users with low budget, it is actually the ultimate appeal if they can start a car with relatively high comprehensive quality at a limited price. Among the domestic compact cars, the third generation of Changan has been favored by many young people at present. Just recently, some fans asked about whether this car is worth buying, so we went offline to shoot this car and see how it performed.

Friends who are familiar with domestic cars should be familiar with Yidong, which was officially launched in 2012. After 12 years of accumulation and three generations of changes, it has more than 1.7 million users and the market share is still relatively large. Therefore, in terms of reliability and stability, the third generation of Yidong really has nothing to vomit. The third generation of Yidong we shot mainly provides three configurations to choose from: enjoyable version, distinguished type and flagship type. The official guide price ranges are 83,900, 87,900 and 96,900 respectively. According to our inquiry at the store, the price of the third-generation Yidong discount is 70,900 yuan, and it supports zero down payment and no pressure to drive a new car. Through communication with the clerk, we can actually win more discounts. For details, we need to go to the store to ask. Do you think this price is fragrant?

From the point of view of product strength, the third generation of Yidong used a more avant-garde design in modeling, and the front grille adopted a V-shaped transverse borderless design, which looked quite atmospheric. Both sides are standard in the whole department, and the shape is sharp. In addition, the third generation of Yidong also uses the design of hidden door handles, which can reduce the drag coefficient of the car body; The tail is mainly sporty, equipped with a small duck tail and two decorative exhausts on both sides. Personally, compared with Geely and classic equivalent models, the third generation Yidong is still younger and avant-garde.

Inside the cockpit, the design concept of the third generation Yidong is also young and fashionable. Its instrument panel and touch screen are relatively large, reaching 10.25 inches and 13.2 inches respectively. Under the design of the suspended center console, it creates a better sense of grade. For a car with a size of less than 100,000, it is rare to have such a texture in the interior.As for the cockpit color, the flagship model offers two color schemes: red and elegant black.The former brings a more athletic feeling visually. In terms of seats, the third-generation Yidong uses a microfiber zero-pressure 3.0 cloud seat, which is wrapped in leather and has a certain texture effect, and the texture is quite good. In terms of seat adjustment, the third-generation flagship model is equipped with the main driving electric seat adjustment function, and the rest are manually adjusted.

In terms of in-car configuration, 540 panoramic image, reversing radar, electric sunroof, electronic bumper, inductive tailgate, uphill assist, driving recorder, in-car PM2.5 filter device and 4G car networking system are all available; Starting from the distinguished model, there are more automatic air conditioners, rear air outlets and charging ports, keyless entry of the main driver and side safety air curtains; The flagship model also includes IACC adaptive cruise, panoramic sunroof, wireless charging of mobile phone, electric folding of exterior rearview mirror/automatic folding of locking car and one-button lifting function of the whole car window. On the whole, the configuration of the enjoyable version belongs to the sufficient type, the distinguished version is a more cost-effective configuration, and the flagship type is more suitable for friends who have higher configuration requirements.

It is worth mentioning that the third generation of escape car machine systemThe whole system comes standard with AI Super Brain Xiao An.The basic control functions in the car, as well as navigation, music playback and multimedia control, can be directly controlled by voice, which brings a good intelligent experience.

Size upgrade is something that many models are doing at present, so is the third generation Yidong. From the data, its body length, width and height have reached 4770*1840*1440mm, and its wheelbase is 2765 mm. Compared with similar models, such as Geely Emgrand, its body length, width and height are 4638*1820*1460mm, and its wheelbase is 2650 mm. Compared with them, the advantages of the third-generation Yidong are obvious, so its spatial performance is more worth looking forward to.

Actually, my height is 180cm. After adjusting the main driver’s seat to the lowest level, there is still room for four fingers on my head. Keep the angle of the main driver’s seat unchanged. When I get to the second row, there is still room for one punch on my head and two punches on my legs, which is still relatively spacious as a whole. In addition, in terms of optimizing the storage space in the car, in addition to some conventional storage spaces, the third-generation Yidong has been equipped with electronic gear handles as standard, so it has also been hollowed out in the area below the gear handles, so that more personal belongings can be placed, and the practicality has been improved to some extent.

In terms of power, compared with the old models, the third-generation Yidong Huanxin uses the NE1.5T high-pressure direct injection engine of Blue Whale, matching the 7-speed wet powershift of Blue Whale, with a maximum power of 125kW and a maximum torque of 260 N m. This level of Geely Emgrand uses a 1.5L engine with a maximum power of 93kW and a maximum torque of 152 N m. Compared with the two, it is more advantageous in terms of power output than the third generation. In terms of safety, the third generation Yidong used the cage-type safety body of Changan Ark, and the highest strength of steel used in the vehicle was 1500Mpa, and the proportion of high-strength steel in the whole vehicle reached 70%. In addition, the third generation of Yidong is also equipped with an intelligent safety alarm system, which can give an alarm at the first time after a collision and strive for rescue time.

Summary:

Generally speaking, the performance of the third generation of Yi Dong in Chang ‘an in household is still remarkable. In my opinion, the attractive place is mainly its body size and power. Compared with competitors at the same price, the third generation Yidong has a slight advantage in these two aspects. As for other aspects, the third-generation Yidong has no obvious shortcomings, so considering the current terminal market of the car, I think it is still more fragrant to start with the third-generation Yidong.

Enjoy the world S9 "flying slope" incident, how do brands respond to the public opinion of automobile evaluation?

Recently, Yuan Qicong, a media person, measured the enjoyment of S9 on public roads. Among them, when passing through a section of road with slope, Yuan Qicong said that after the vehicle flew down the slope, it was "unable to keep straight and the whole vehicle was biased to one side", which triggered a heated discussion in the circle, and a group of car bloggers started to discuss and even retest.

In this regard, Xiangjie Automobile issued a statement in Guanwei on August 25, saying that in this "test", the driver took the initiative to intervene, artificially turned the steering wheel to the right, and then corrected it to the left, causing the vehicle to sway. After repeated tests under the same conditions, Enjoying S9 can keep driving in a straight line without the driver’s active intervention in the steering wheel. Regarding the official response of Enjoy Car, Yuan Qicong subsequently issued a number of Weibo’s statements that "it can be self-certified" and "it will fully respond". On the evening of 25th, Yuan Qicong responded by opening the live broadcast. Soon after, he said that the live broadcast was deleted and Weibo was banned.

Author threeMiaojian research institute

Miao Jian information analysis found that

The video was deleted and banned, and the official statement of "first release and then change" intensified the unfavorable speculation on the brand:The discussion of Feipo dispute was initially confined to the car circle, and car bloggers expressed their views to each other, mainly the debate between Yuan Qicong and other car bloggers. After the official response from the industry, the financial media began to report this matter, and Yuan Qicong even broadcast hard and shouted "sue me" in the industry. Some netizens noticed that Enjoy World revised the contents of two statements, but Weibo didn’t show "edited", which triggered doubts about the improper use of the brand. In addition, Yuan Qicong later claimed that the live broadcast was deleted and banned, which even angered public sentiment. Overlapping the words "Huawei" and "country" in the statement without trace, further causing suspicion and fermenting doubts about the brand’s cover-up of the truth.

Figure 1: Comparison between before and after editing the statement of enjoyment.

There are many secondary risks when car companies deal with evaluation public opinion;In the face of disputes in car reviews, car companies can choose to take the initiative to deal with them, that is, clarify the imprecision of the evaluation through official channels, but at the same time, it is likely to cause secondary public opinion, such as data security disputes caused by retrieving background data, and questioning the quality truth by brand endorsement; If a car company chooses cold treatment and does not publicly respond to the controversial points in the evaluation, it will also easily lead to the fermentation and upgrading of negative public opinion on product quality defects. If the judgment is not in place and the clarification is not timely, it will easily lead to the negative label of the car and the loss of brand reputation.

Lack of standardization of automobile evaluation brings troubles to automobile enterprises;In recent years, the accidents of new energy vehicles are high, consumers pay more and more attention to the safety performance of vehicles, and various "wild assessments" of vehicles initiated by media bloggers are also emerging one after another. Due to the lack of uniform standards for automobile evaluation and the different real purposes behind the evaluation, these evaluations are often not professional and rigorous, and it is difficult to provide reference value for consumers. Instead, they incite emotions, breed rumors, and trigger public opinion attacks on brands, which in turn affects the healthy competition between automobile enterprises and also brings the burden of public opinion response to automobile enterprises.

Accuse malicious fraud in time, accept and improve reasonable opinions;Combined with the current multi-party voice, it is impossible to determine whether Yuan Qicong has improper operation for the time being, but in the confrontation between the two sides, the handling method of suspected official ban undoubtedly aggravated the public opinion’s harsh criticism of the brand. Recently, the "crash test between Xiaomi SU7 and Extreme Krypton 001" also attracted the attention of the car circle. The video showed that after the collision, Xiaomi SU7 was cut off and the door could not be opened. Then Xiaomi Automobile responded that "the test was not rigorous", and the blogger apologized. The official also blamed the "paid test". Whether the test method is unreasonable, reasonable opinions are put forward, or subjective malicious fraud, car companies should use different ways to deal with different evaluation properties.

Brand word of mouth plays an important role in the evaluation of public opinion;Compared with the official response in the S9 test and the crash test of Krypton millet, Krypton was influenced by the public opinion of "revision to protect the rights of old car owners", and there were still many negative voices under the response. Enjoy the world because there is a joint relationship with Huawei brand, influenced by historical negative public opinion, and its official response is mainly to support Yuan Qicong, which is mostly unfavorable to the brand. Under the response of Xiaomi Automobile, there are many voices supporting the prosecution of Xiaomi Automobile. Brand historical public opinion and word-of-mouth accumulated on weekdays affect the overall trend of evaluation public opinion to some extent.

01

The context and communication trend of public opinion

According to public opinion monitoring data of Miaojian Information, from 18:08:00 on August 20, 2024 to 18:07:59 on August 27, 2024, there were 12,400 articles related to "Yuan Qicong’s evaluation and enjoyment of S9" in the whole network, and the public opinion heat index MJSI was 349.7.

Figure 5: Bloggers question when they see the car.

At 12:47 on August 21st, car blogger @ Tram Xiaofei also questioned the test results, and proposed to go to the test site with @ One Needle to retest, and bring a Mercedes-Benz S450L as a comparison test.

Figure 10: Yuan Qicong said that he would explain clearly.

At 10:48 on August 24th, Yuan Qicong sent a message to Weibo, saying "Let’s not talk about this topic for the time being". At the sight of a car and a tram, Xiaofei sent a message to Weibo, claiming that Yuan Qicong had blacked it out. The debate between car bloggers is temporarily over.

Figure 11: Yuan Qicong said not to talk about this topic for the time being.

At 14:00 on August 25th, Weibo, the official of Enjoy Car, issued a statement, saying that the test conclusion was not objective and rigorous, and the driver took the initiative to intervene and turned the steering wheel artificially.

Figure 12: Enjoy the official Weibo response.

At 14:43 on August 25, Yuan Qicong forwarded the official statement of Enjoy World Automobile, saying, "I have seen this statement. There are all scientific basis for why the steering wheel is deflected, and I will fully respond next week."

At 14:47 on August 25, Yuan Qicong forwarded the official statement of Enjoy World Automobile again, saying, "No, I’m going back to the company to shoot now."

At 17:00 on August 25, Yuan Qicong explained in the live broadcast that the car suddenly flew through this flying slope and naturally grasped the steering wheel, only to find some hidden problems such as vehicle deflection. Finally, it is pointed out that although the enjoyment of the world is for explanation, it is an infringement to directly disclose the vehicle data without the consent of the owner, and the right of prosecution is reserved.

Figure 13: Yuan Qicong’s Live Preview

At 19:50 on August 25th, under the official statement of Enjoy World Automobile, Yuan Qicong commented and questioned "Why did the live broadcast be deleted?".

At 8:31 on August 26th, Yuan Qicong posted a dynamic message on his account in bilibili, saying that he would take a week off and rest for a while.

Figure 16: Yuan Qicong said in bilibili that it is indisputable.

On September 2nd, at the 2024 Chengdu Auto Show, someone asked how to treat the S9 flying slope incident. Yu Chengdong said, "I think professionals should participate in the test, and we need professionals to watch it. Because there are still some people who do bad things in the society now, if you pay money, you will be praised, and if you don’t pay money, you will be criticized, but I want professional people to see it. Some people collect money. If you can’t get the money, come and fuck you. But I think for us, we still have to do a good job in products, real product quality and product experience. Therefore, it depends on real professionals. I think we still have to believe in the power of professionalism in this respect. "

Views of all parties

(A) the mainstream media

Public opinion mainly focuses on the industry from the media and netizens. The mainstream media mainly reported this matter after the announcement of Enjoy World, and did not comment.

Interface News: Enjoy the car response from the media enjoy the S9 high-speed flying slope "test" conclusion: not objective and not rigorous.

Beijing business today: Can’t you keep driving in a straight line after the flying slope test of Xiangjie S9 vehicle? Enjoy Car Response: This conclusion is not objective and rigorous.

CBN: Enjoy the car’s response to S9 flying slope test: not objective and rigorous.

Southern Metropolis Daily: Enjoy the world’s response to "the blogger’s evaluation of S9′ s body instability when flying downhill": the driver intervened in the steering wheel.

(2) From the media

Mainly based on the industry’s self-media comments, it mainly involves combing the incident, analyzing the rationality of evaluation, and expressing opinions on the coping style of car companies.

Headline of public relations: As far as the outcome of the incident is concerned, both sides have lost both sides. Enjoy the reputation and sales of S9, and it is also suspected of "stealing user data privately" and "manipulating public opinion"; And Yuan not only banned Weibo, but also lost the image of "objective" and "fair" car critics accumulated over the years.

Front page of science and technology: In the evaluation dispute of Xiaomi SU7, Xiaomi officially provided specific data support for key issues, which strongly refuted the appraisers’ conclusions and effectively eliminated the public’s doubts. Although the official response of Enjoy World also provides some data support, this data can’t fully prove that Enjoy World S9 chassis training is excellent enough in the eyes of some other car KOL and car enthusiasts.

Sharp comments in the car industry: Although every car company has repeatedly stressed the need for "healthy competition" and refused to "maliciously step on it", can it really be done? So, are these folk "pheasant evaluation" pure technical verification? Perhaps only those car manufacturers themselves can reveal the answer for us.

Car information: all automobile products are not perfect. No matter who made them or who empowered them, they must have shortcomings. I am afraid that an automobile product will no longer be an industrial product in the public opinion.

Mr. Former: Cover your mouth! Is the most resentful behavior! Face is given by others, you do things properly, your products are excellent, and the whole world respects you and gives you face. I lost my face myself, the product was not good, and I was sneaky. The whole world didn’t trust you and looked down on you.

Weibo-Xie Zonghuan: Creating confrontation will not make us better. Only through calm discussion can we get the truth that is really useful to consumers. I hope everything can be settled satisfactorily by both sides after calm down.

Weibo-Racing Frappuccino: Oppose to silence by administrative power and interfere with technical discussion and truth discovery on the Internet. If the problems of discussing cars rise to the level of national justice, then domestic cars can’t be criticized at all. How can we make progress? If all you have left is to make up stories to praise the car reviews, do you like to watch them?

(3) Professionals

Bruce Lee, BG CTO of Huawei Terminal, said that "the torque in the same direction is detected at 1.96Nm" mentioned in the official statement: How likely is the torque of 1.96Nm? Many people have no intuitive concept. If the radius of the steering wheel is 0.2 meters, 1.96Nm is equivalent to a total of 1 kg of force applied by both hands to twist the steering wheel, so it is impossible for the driver to twist the steering wheel so hard that he didn’t feel it at that time.

(4) Internet users

Regarding the evaluation, the relevant public opinion is roughly divided into two camps: (1) supporting Yuan Qicong, thinking that the model has problems of rear suspension and chassis instability reflected in the evaluation; (2) Support the enjoyment of the world, and think that car critics are subjectively malicious in slandering the brand.

At the same time, some public opinions have also deviated from the evaluation event itself, and the confrontation of views has shifted to the trial of car companies and the questioning of Yuan Qicong’s own political stance.

The main views of netizens are as follows:

Think that Yuan Qicong maliciously hit the steering wheel.

Deliberately hitting the steering wheel to drive online public opinion, don’t you pursue it?

It turns out that the instinctive shaking can sway to 23 degrees at once. If Mr. Yuan drives a sports car over the speed bump, can he directly hit 90 degrees to make the car drift?

Don’t traditional car critics know that new energy sources have background data? ? ? That’s funny.

Condemn brand evasion

If you can’t solve the problem, solve the person who asked it.

This kind of car company points out that the problem is not improvement, but evasion, and that it is wrong to point out the problem.

Enjoy the world means that drivers can’t interfere with cars when they are out of control?

Condemn the behavior of banning words and deleting videos

Don’t delete other people’s videos if you dare, and don’t ban others.

Two people argue, but they cut off each other’s tongue and don’t let them talk. How can you sell a car behind you?

Regardless of whether he is right or wrong, it is disgusting to cover his mouth before he is convicted.

Query the situation that Weibo does not display "edited" after modifying the content.

Why can you change an article without editing records?

There is no editing record, so it is a good way to cross the sky.

I changed the announcement, but I haven’t edited the record. It’s the only one!

Mention Huawei and BAIC

Why is Xiaomi scolded on the Internet? Because Huawei was blocked.

Hot knowledge: the polar fox enjoying the boundary and deducting the bid is BAIC.

Believe Yuan Qicong

I may doubt others, but I absolutely believe Yuan Qicong.

Originally, it was about a car, but he made random accusations. Judging from Mr. Yuan’s usual Weibo remarks, he knew that he was a patriotic person who sincerely hoped for a good country.

I think Cong really has no problem, not even discussing?

Comment on automobile evaluation

Pheasants have more evaluations, and online celebrity has the final say on whether the results are true or not.

Hurry up and set a standard for car evaluation.

This person seems to specialize in this, which is quite annoying.

Comment on the ethos of car circles

Alas, the atmosphere of the rim is pathetic.

The environment of domestic car companies is not ideal, a little careless, and every step is wrong.

It’s all the ethos brought by the mobile phone industry, and there’s no way out.

How do car companies respond to evaluation disputes?

1. the fuel consumption of online celebrity big v equation leopard car reaches 18 liters per 100 kilometers (MJSI:38.72).

At the end of November, 2023, the car big V "Great Qin Jun Shaanxi Group" with more than 1.4 million fans released a video, saying that the fuel consumption of the test equation Leopard 5 reached 18 liters per 100 kilometers, which was far from the official publicity data of Equation Leopard (7.8 liters per 100 kilometers). This topic has aroused concern, and some netizens analyzed that this is the result of testing under extreme working conditions. Not only that, some netizens suggested that the speed of the "Qin Jun Shaanxi Group" was about 180km/h, which was suspected of serious speeding.

On December 2, Guan Wei of Equation Leopard Automobile issued a response statement, saying that the police had collected the relevant vehicle operation data in response to the evidence demand of the case of "Yao Xqiang was suspected of driving a motor vehicle for speeding on November 28, 2023", and the data showed that the vehicle had a lot of abnormal driving behavior that day, "the speed exceeded 180km/h in three time periods".

Figure 17: Equation Leopard Response Statement

On the afternoon of December 4th, the "Greater Qin Jun Shaanxi Group" released a video saying that it had contacted the local traffic control department. The local traffic control department criticized and educated him for driving from Weinan to Wuhai on November 28th, and decided to give 200 yuan 3 points because of the speed limit of 80km/h and the actual speed of 103km/h at Wuhai South Ring Road of National Highway 110. Subsequently, the "Greater Qin Jun Shaanxi Group" apologized and said that it would initiate a lawsuit against the behavior of setting charges privately and infringing on personality on the Internet.

On December 6th, Xiong Tianbo, general manager of Equation Leopard Automobile, responded to the question about the authenticity of vehicle data content. "We act according to the law, and the events are all carried out under legal rules. It is not our appeal to create public opinion. It is our current concern to do a good job and serve customers well."

2.AITO responded that the achievement rate of pure battery life in the new M7 "winter test" was at the bottom (MJSI:24.16).

On December 6, 2023, the car platform "Know the Car Emperor" conducted a winter test in Mohe, Heilongjiang Province in 2023, and announced the endurance test results of 19 hybrid vehicles. Among them, the extended-range version of the M7 in Wenjie is at the bottom with a pure battery life achievement rate of 31.6%. In this regard, AITO Automobile released the "Official Interpretation of Winter Test Performance of No Fear of Cold, No Bound Series", pointing out that the test media confirmed that the vehicle had been air-conditioned and heated for a long time before the official test, and there were more than ten times in this process. The operation of opening and closing doors and windows greatly increased the energy consumption of air conditioning, resulting in a rapid decline in power consumption. Under the conditions of extreme cold and continuous heating of air conditioner, windows and doors are opened for many times for a long time, which seriously deviates from the real use scene of users. "Know the car emperor" responded in the live broadcast, all models are subject to unified standards, and there is no situation for a specific car, which does not affect the final ranking.

Figure 18: Statement of Response from the Boundary.

Other car companies should also make a sound assessment. On December 14th, Great Wall Motor held a communication meeting in Beijing to question the winter test standards of Chedi, and responded to the test standards of Chedi in many aspects, such as maintenance standards and electricity standards. Yang Xueliang, senior vice president of Geely, also expressed disagreement with the evaluation results and retrieved background data for explanation.

3. Extreme Krypton executives questioned the unprofessional evaluation of the disassembly of Che Di (MJSI:17.74)

On July 30, 2024, Guan Haitao, a CMO, posted a message in a circle of friends to understand Che Di, calling his evaluation video "too unprofessional". The forwarded video shows that the car emperor said in the evaluation video that Zhijie S7 dismantled the polar krypton 001 and found that the anti-collision beam of the polar krypton 001 was not as good as the 100,000 A class car. Guan Haitao then introduced the front-end safety design of Krypton 001 in Weibo, saying that experts could be arranged to explain it in detail in the future.

Figure 19: Guan Haitao’s circle of friends sent a message.

Figure 20: Guan Haitao and Weibo issued a response.

4. The collision test between Xiaomi SU7 and Krypton 001 was questioned (MJSI:19.51).

On August 13th, 2024, car blogger Gao Ruoxiang (ID: Xiang Xiang) released a video titled "When Xiaomi SU7 hit a krypton 007" in bilibili, which aroused widespread concern. The topic # When Xiaomi SU7 hit a krypton 007# was listed on the hot search list.

Figure 21: The car blogger turned out to be Xiangxiang, releasing the evaluation.

On the evening of August 14th, Xiaomi Auto responded in "Xiaomi SU7 Answering a User’s Question (Episode 67)". After analysis, it is considered that this so-called "test" setting is not rigorous, the record is incomplete and the conclusion is unscientific. Xiaomi Automobile stressed that Xiaomi SU7 had undergone a rigorous crash test during the development process, and no safety hazards were found, and called for the vehicle crash test to be conducted by a professional organization.

Figure 22: Xiaomi Automobile Response

Subsequently, @ turned out to be Xiangxiang Ah released an apology video, explaining the previously controversial "Millet Crash Video".

On August 15th, the topic of "Xiaomi and Krypton can’t open the back door of collision test" was posted on the hot search. On the evening of August 16th, in response to the rumor of "paid test", Weibo, the Legal Department of @ 中中中中中, issued a document saying that 中中中中中中中中中 has not cooperated with any individual or organization in such test, and in view of the false information, 中2001

Dong Mingzhu’s domineering side leakage: I paid for Gree employees with two rooms, one living room and a car.

[Observer Network Synthesis] Dong Mingzhu was once again domineering. Yesterday (February 21st), Dong Mingzhu announced a decision in an interview with the People’s Daily client that she would let every employee live in two rooms and one living room.

In addition to the house, Gree also gives employees incentives such as sending mobile phones and raising salaries. Dong Mingzhu also told reporters in the interview that when Gree cars were produced, "then I will give them".

Dong Mingzhu was interviewed.

Yesterday (February 21st), Dong Mingzhu announced a decision in an interview with the People’s Daily client that she would let every employee live in two rooms and one living room.In the interview, Dong Mingzhu admitted that Gree employees are most worried about the house at present, and she will let all Gree employees enjoy two rooms and one living room in the next few years, and she will pay for it. Dong Mingzhu then further explained that as long as the employees don’t leave, when they retire, the house will belong to the employees themselves.

This is not the first time that Gree has helped employees to distribute houses, as pointed out in a press release issued by Gree official website on November 24th last year. As early as 2005, Gree Electric invested 200 million yuan to establish the first phase of Kangleyuan, an employee living area. The park has a building area of over 120,000 square meters and can accommodate more than 10,000 employees. In 2014, the second phase of Kangleyuan, covering an area of nearly 40,000 square meters and spending 400 million yuan, has also been put into use.

Kangleyuan pictures

Gree’s move is "very local tyrant" and very real, which reminds people of the measures of housing allocation in the planned economy era. Big companies such as Alibaba and Tencent also use the same method to retain excellent employees. The Paper reported in March last year that Ma Yun found Greentown Development Real Estate Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Song Weiping, and built 380 houses on a plot at Wenyi West Road, Chang ‘er Road, Hangzhou, and sold them to his employees. The price of Ali’s interior room is only 60% of the market price.

Tencent’s plan to help employees buy houses was implemented earlier. According to the Beijing News, Tencent launched the housing plan in June 2011, and will invest 1 billion yuan to provide the first set of interest-free loans for qualified employees in three years. Employees only need to issue a house purchase contract and submit a personal credit inquiry report issued by the central bank, and do not need other physical guarantees.

In 2015, the original plan was upgraded. In the first-class cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, the amount of interest-free loans has increased from 300,000 yuan to 500,000 yuan; In addition to the above four cities, the second category of cities has increased from 200,000 yuan to 250,000 yuan.

In addition to sending a house, as a manufacturing giant, Gree’s other welfare policies are even more varied. According to Nanfang Daily, Gree Electric has decided to increase the salary of every employee who has worked for three months by 1000 yuan.

Gree salary increase notice

Subsequently, the person in charge of the marketing department of Gree Electric confirmed the reliability of the content. "This salary increase involves about 70,000 employees, and the company’s per capita efficiency is constantly improving, so we should share the labor results with you." According to the number of people, Gree Electric will increase its expenditure by 70 million per month.

But not every benefit is popular. Gree Electric gave the latest Gree mobile phone 2nd generation to employees as a Spring Festival benefit, but it seems that some employees didn’t "buy it". According to the news of China Business News, a large number of second-hand Gree mobile phones were sold on the Internet, and some sellers claimed to be Gree employees.

According to the inquiry of Observer.com, there are indeed a large number of advertisements selling Gree second-generation mobile phones on the second-hand online trading platform "Xianyu.com", and the price is generally "cut by half".

Screenshot of salted fish net

Gree officially responded that it should not be sold by employees. Moreover, the mobile phone is a company’s welfare, not a deduction, but also hopes to motivate employees to use their own products. As for the problem that mobile phones are rarely seen in the market, Gree insiders told reporters that Gree mobile phones are all self-produced, and at present they are only sold in a small range, online platforms and internal channels. "The overall production capacity is very limited, in order to ensure quality."

He also revealed that at present, the proportion of Gree employees using Gree mobile phones is not very high. "Because the mobile phone production capacity is not large, many employees have never seen it themselves, and employees are very curious. Some core employees of the company have experienced it first."

The possible sellers are related manufacturers of Gree, and some sellers claim that their Gree mobile phones are paid off by Gree related parties at the time of checkout.

In addition to mobile phones, there may be "Gree cars" in the future. Gree Group announced on the evening of February 20th that the company intends to sign a Cooperation Agreement with Zhuhai Yinlong, and the total amount of mutual priority procurement between the two parties shall not exceed 20 billion yuan.

It seems that the failure of Gree’s acquisition of Zhuhai Yinlong last year did not affect Dong Mingzhu’s confidence in entering the automobile industry.Dong Mingzhu also told reporters in the interview that when Gree cars were produced, "then I will give them".
