Anita Mui: The "Hong Kong Daughter" of absolute beauty and Deyi Shuangxin


Special feature of 1905 film network Directed and starring Wang Danni,,,, and will be shown in domestic cinemas on November 12th, 2021. The film tells the legendary experience of her life, from her participation in a singing contest when she was 19 years old, to her gradual growth into a generation of superstars with her dedication and extraordinary talent, which reproduces the life of Anita Mui absolute beauty.


It is quite challenging to make a film of this legendary figure’s life. The film "Anita Mui" chooses to highly restore the life of this "ever-changing queen". Shadan, a film critic, mentioned that the filming of biographical films is equivalent to a kind of "translation", which pursues what translation calls "faithfulness and elegance": "faithfulness" is to restore the real characters, "expressiveness" is to restore the times in which the characters live through film language, and "elegance" is to convey the inner spirit of the characters through images. To a certain extent, the film successfully reproduces the charm, elegance and inner spiritual strength of Anita Mui, which can penetrate history.


From 1963 to 2003, in Anita Mui’s short 40-year life, she grew from an innocent and romantic little singer to a "Hong Kong daughter" with both songs and movies. Anita Mui’s short but legendary life left infinite reverie for the audience. In 2003, she chose to marry herself to the stage with a song of the sunset and a custom-made wedding dress. Since then, both the stage and the screen have left her eternal beautiful image.


Whether as a singer or an actress, Anita Mui is a benchmark, and she has made great achievements in her career. As a singer, she won the "most popular female singer" for five consecutive times in the top ten jade solid gold ceremonies from 1985 to 1989. As an actress, she won many honors. She is known as the "queen of change" because of her avant-garde song style and ever-changing performance style, and has the talent to control different forms.


The most amazing thing about Anita Mui is her ever-changing stage modeling. Her different albums and concerts will be specially matched with a unique costume. From the sunglasses with neutral trench coat in "Time flies like water" to the exotic "Demon Girl" and then to the bright red and flashy dress in the concert … … Can be neutral or beautiful, or light or heavy, different clothes to wear on Anita Mui, there is always a natural feeling.


One of the most impressive is a white wedding dress that sang "Song of the Sunset" in 2003. What we see is not only how gorgeous this wedding dress is, but also the vicissitudes she has experienced behind the dress. Anita Mui’s professionalism is also praised. She has performed 147 concerts in Hong Kong, which holds the highest record for Chinese female singers in the world, and has also appeared in more than 40 films. This professionalism is the profound reason why she is remembered as a generation of divas.


The producer of Anita Mui once said in an interview that the heroine of this film is Anita Mui and the hero is Hongkong. At the end of the film, when the audience saw the words "Hong Kong daughter", memories of Anita Mui and the city flashed through their minds. Anita Mui has infinite love for Hong Kong and the motherland and a strong sense of social responsibility. She has a very important concert, "Hong Kong 1∶99 Anti-SARS Concert", which happened during the SARS epidemic that year. In order to inspire people’s confidence and courage, she stood up and beat difficulties hand in hand, showing her charm and uniting people on the stage.


Documentary films convey the artistic virtue of "virtue and artistry" through the efforts of the older generation of artists, and Anita Mui is an example of virtue and artistry from the perspectives of talent, professionalism and social responsibility. Her life in absolute beauty is worthy of the word "Hong Kong daughter", and her singing and figure will remain in our hearts forever.


Can two people play alone in a row? Introduction of play mode

Can a couple of people play alone? There are still many players who are not sure. As a big play mode of the game, I believe many players want to know how to play. Let’s bring you a couple of people to play alone. I hope you like it.

Can you play alone in a double line?


For the time being, this game only allows two people to play, and there is no single-player entertainment mode.

There are two online ways:

1、It’s very simple for two people to play this game on one computer, that is, you can use two handles, one for 1P and the other for 2P, so that you can have a smooth experience for two people.

Of course, you can also have a handle and a keyboard, so you can also have a two-person experience.

Note that the game can’t support dual keyboard mouse, only two handles, and these two handles are the same model after all. For example, if you mix and match PS4 and XBOX handles to play, it seems impossible.

2、Internet connection only requires you to have one purchase, and you can invite others to experience it with you. However, the game has no national costume for the time being, so players need to use the accelerator, otherwise it will always be disconnected, which will affect the game experience.

Just go directly into the game and choose online, and then you can invite your friend, and he will agree to experience it together.

Double-player spit

Boys who like to play games but are not skilled, please contact me, and I will take you to play and give you warmth; Girls can also contact me, and I’ll give you a punch, useless thing.

That’s all for a double trip. I hope it will help everyone.

BYD Qin: Is the cheapest hybrid on the market worth buying?

I have seen the anti-collision beam and chassis of this BYD Qin PLUS DM-i, and found that there are many "cost compromises" compared with Qin Pro. What about the interior part? Let’s talk today.

Door structure

Stamped hinge, integrated door

Door hinge is a common stamping part in Japan and South Korea.

The door is a full-frame door with integrated stamping, and for the sake of beauty, black plastic decorative strips are added to the door frame.

Sound insulation cotton

vary in size

When the front and rear door trim panels are removed, it can be seen that there is a large area of steel plate inside, and only a small part is sealed with styrofoam, but there is no air pressure sensor to assist the airbag to pop up.

The sound insulation cotton of the front and rear doors is about the same size, but compared with the area of the front door, the rear door is relatively larger.

Side anti-collision beam

Square tube shape

There is a square tube-shaped side anti-collision beam commonly used by BYD in the front and rear doors.

There is a reinforcing rib in the front and rear doors.

Rear seat

The steel plate is gone

There was no steel plate in the rear seat, which was cancelled. The Qin Pro rear seat we dismantled before had a complete steel plate. As for why it’s gone, do you need to ask?

Rear headrest

complete

The rear seat headrest is still relatively complete.

floor

Sparse package, native floor

Ordinary plastic tape is used for the large-line package, which is relatively sparse. Previously, Qin Pro’s large-line package was relatively sparse, but the cloth-based tape with high cost was used.

Although the floor filler of this car uses foamed materials, it is treated with a large area of adhesive between it and the carpet. Therefore, it is necessary to use professional instruments to measure the internal formaldehyde release.

Through the test, the measured value of formaldehyde emission in the floor is 0.102 mg per cubic meter.

The measured value of formaldehyde emission from the seat is 0.049 mg/m3, and that from the ceiling is 0.084 mg/m3.

Again, we have to emphasize that our test method is relatively extreme, but the test conditions of each car are the same, and the horizontal comparison is fair.

Interior air

In order to detect the formaldehyde emission in the car air more accurately, we use "pumping sampling" and "phenol reagent spectrophotometry" to test the car air. This test method is the formaldehyde test method used by regular testing institutions at present.

Test method: put the test vehicle in the natural environment, open the door and window for complete ventilation; Then, fix a silicone hose near the driver’s headrest to simulate the breathing position of people; Close the doors and windows, park the vehicle in an environment with a constant temperature of 23 1℃ and seal it for 16 hours; Using a sampler, 10 liters of in-vehicle air is sucked from the hose pump to react with phenol reagent; Dropping the chromogenic agent into phenol reagent, and standing for 15 minutes; Use formaldehyde detector to detect the colored sample and get the result.

After being closed for 16 hours in a constant temperature environment of 23 1℃, the measured value of formaldehyde emission in the air of this car is 0.142 mg per cubic meter.

In addition to formaldehyde, TVOC is also an important toxic and harmful gas, which is one of the main reasons for the strong smell in the car. TVOC refers to all organic gaseous substances in space, such as benzene, alkane, aromatic hydrocarbon and alkene … These organic substances will do harm to human health.

Test method: put the test vehicle in the natural environment, open the door and window for complete ventilation; Then, fix a silicone hose near the driver’s headrest to simulate the breathing position of people; Close the doors and windows, park the vehicle in an environment with a constant temperature of 23 1℃ and seal it for 16 hours; Using the MP181 TVOC detector of Mengpu ‘an, the air in the car is pumped from the hose until the value is stable, and the final result is obtained.

After being closed for 16 hours in a constant temperature environment of 23 1℃, the measured value of TVOC emission from the air inside the car is 1.57 mg per cubic meter.

summary

Self-satisfaction is useless, rational self-improvement

This BYD Qin PLUS DM-i plug-in hybrid model is indeed one of the cheapest hybrid models available on the market at present. However, for the word "cheap", there is no small price to pay. Compared with the previous Qin Pro, it not only canceled the pedestrian protection foam, reduced the pressure relief port, but also replaced the integrated front subframe. The original aluminum alloy horn and rear seat steel plate also disappeared, and the rear suspension also changed from multi-link to torsion beam.

Reducing costs and increasing efficiency also reflects from the side that the cost of BYD’s DM-i hybrid system is not low. If the hybrid is removed, this car will be at the level of 60,000 to 70,000. In fact, the DM-i hybrid is very close to Honda’s i-MMD, and it is difficult to run out of the official 3.9 liters/100 kilometers in daily use. Usually, we can only run about 6-7 liters of fuel consumption.

Each of us hopes that domestic independent brands can be strong and catch up with the world-class level. However, we also need to maintain a normal mentality and face up to our own shortcomings, so that there will be room for improvement and progress. If you just get high, it won’t do you any good. Improving strength depends on self-improvement, don’t always Kung-fu in the mouth! (The conclusion of the measurement data in this article and the video is only responsible for this car, and the measurement data is responsible for the publicized experimental method. )

American flagship auto show experience Cadillac CT6

  Unlike today’s domestic luxury car market dominated by German BBA, in the 1990s, luxury cars in the eyes of Chinese people were American brands headed by Cadillac. On the eve of new york Auto Show on March 31st, 2015, Cadillac released its brand-new flagship model CT6, which, with its advanced technology and luxurious and excellent workmanship, seems to indicate the return of American flagship again.

  The first model under the new naming system will be introduced to China.

  As early as September 2014, Cadillac announced the model name of CT6, which is the first model under Cadillac’s new naming rules system. According to Cadillac’s brand-new naming rules, all its cars will start with "CT", followed by numbers reflecting the size of the model and product positioning.

  According to official sources, the Cadillac CT6 will start production in Detroit’s Hamtramck factory at the end of 2015 after its world premiere at the new york Auto Show. In the future, Cadillac CT6 will be introduced into China market and produced by Cadillac’s exclusive factory in Jinqiao, Pudong, Shanghai. It is believed that the domestic CT6 will be more competitive in price due to the reduction of cost.

  The appearance continues the classic diamond cutting design.

  The design of Cadillac CT6 combines the design elements of Elmiraj concept car, and the body is lower and wider. The front face still uses a layered shield grille and aggressive headlights, and incorporates family-style diamond cutting design elements, which makes the overall effect more dynamic. On the side of the car body, the Cadillac CT6 adopts a double waistline design, and the relatively stretched lines make the car more sporty.

 
Model name Cadillac CT6 Audi A8L BMW 7 Series Mercedes-benz s-class Length (mm) 5184 5268 5219 5250 Width (mm) 1879 1949 1902 1899 Height (mm) 1472 1471 1481 1494 Wheelbase (mm) 3109 3122 3210 3165 Information collection time: April 1, 2015Watchmaking: Sina Automobile The information of the auto market changes frequently. Please discuss the specific price with the local dealer.

  The length, width and height of Cadillac CT6 are 5184/1879/1472mm and the wheelbase is 3109mm, which is equivalent to the standard wheelbase version of BMW 7 Series and other models sold overseas, but it is still slightly inferior to the extended version currently sold in China.

  Cadillac CT6 tail line also continues its classic diamond cutting design elements and family-style vertical LED taillights. However, unlike other Cadillac models, the CT6′ s high-position brake light is not designed on the trunk lid, but is raised to the upper part of the rear windshield.

  The interior is exquisite in workmanship and rich in configuration.

  The interior of Cadillac CT6 uses a lot of high-grade leather, solid wood and carbon fiber materials to create a sense of luxury. The center console is also equipped with a large-size high-resolution LCD touch screen, while the rear passengers are equipped with an infotainment system. In addition to the heating function, the front leather seat also provides five modes of massage function, the rear electric adjustable seat can be adjusted to the semi-lying posture, and the multimedia infotainment system is controlled by the panel on the rear armrest.

  Cadillac CT6 is equipped with a 10.2-inch large-size CUE human-computer interaction screen, with a high pixel display of 1028*720, and the console touchpad on the central armrest can also control various functions of CUE. In addition, the car is equipped with wireless mobile phone charging, OnStar on-board 4G LTE system with Wi-Fi hotspot, automatic parking system, night vision system and pedestrian collision mitigation system.

  Three power options in the initial stage of building a brand-new platform

  Cadillac CT6 is built on the brand-new Omega rear-drive platform, and 64% of the body frame is made of aluminum alloy. Compared with vehicles with high-strength steel at the same level, the weight of CT6 is reduced by about 218 pounds (99 kilograms). In addition, the steel fender with airtight design is added to the bottom of the vehicle, thus improving the quietness of the vehicle.

  At the initial stage of listing, Cadillac will provide CT6 with three gasoline engines including 2.0L inline four-cylinder turbocharged, 3.6L naturally aspirated V6 and 3.0L twin turbocharged V6. Among them, the new 3.0L twin-turbo engine can reach the maximum power of 298kW and the torque of 543Nm. After the future launch, Cadillac will also add a twin-turbocharged V8 engine and a newly developed plug-in hybrid system.

  For suspension, Cadillac CT6 adopts long and short arm multi-link independent front suspension and five-link independent rear suspension, and is equipped with four-wheel drive and rear wheel active steering technology. In addition, Cadillac CT6 also provides several modes, such as Tour (standard), Snow/Ice (ice and snow) and Sport (sport), which allow CT6 drivers to choose the vehicle training mode according to the actual weather and road conditions.

  Summary:

  The launch of CT6 further enriches Cadillac’s product line, enabling it to cover almost all levels of models in the luxury market. In the future, with the introduction and domestic production of CT6, further cost reduction is believed to make CT6 more competitive than the same class models.

A large number of iOS powder runs, and the HarmonyOS HarmonyOS system still hides these three killers

A lot of iOS powder runs. What is the use of HarmonyOS HarmonyOS system

Last week, Huawei’s HarmonyOS system was extensively updated, and my colleague happily showed us the new functions of the HarmonyOS system, which was really fragrant, knowing that he used to be a fruit fan.

Not only he, but also a large number of netizens from the Internet have switched to HarmonyOS system. So what’s the use of HarmonyOS system?

Apple’s iOS system has always been known for its fluency and non-jamming among users. One of the important reasons why many users bought Apple at that time was that they could not get stuck after a few years. Compared with iOS, the fluency of Android is worse. Although it has been improved now, it is still common to kill the background. When multiple background applications are opened at the same time, Apple can smoothly switch between multiple applications, and many Android applications need to react and pause for a while before they can be opened. HarmonyOS system has optimized this.

Huawei officials have publicly stated that HarmonyOS is 60% faster than Android.This is because the Ark compiler was integrated in Huawei HarmonyOS system, and the App issued instructions, so the HarmonyOS system directly understood and responded, and the response time was shortened.To make a simple analogy, App speaks English, Android only knows Chinese, and HarmonyOS knows both Chinese and English.

Many users who have used both Apple’s iOS and HarmonyOS’s system say that the fluency of HarmonyOS’s system is comparable to that of iOS. Under the same fluency, the price ratio is cheaper, and Huawei’s after-sales service is also very good, which makes many users "defect" Huawei’s HarmonyOS system.

At the Huawei conference on April 28th, Yu Chengdong said that the shipment of Huawei equipment equipped with HarmonyOS from HarmonyOS has exceeded 240 million units, and the shipment of ecological equipment from HarmonyOS has exceeded 150 million units in the same period. Wang Chenglu, a Huawei executive, also said that,By 2023, the number of equipment in HarmonyOS will reach 1.23 billion.This means that everyone in the country will have a device equipped with HarmonyOS system, which may be a mobile phone, a computer and a watch, or an air conditioner, a TV, a refrigerator or a microwave oven. It can be seen that Huawei has placed high hopes on HarmonyOS system.


AITO bound M5 equipped with HarmonyOS system.

HarmonyOS system is not only used by Huawei itself, but also cooperates with other car companies and home appliance brands.With the advantages of light weight and strong function, it has been mounted on three models, namely Beijing Auto Rubik’s Cube, Extreme Fox Alfa S Huawei Edition and AITO Wenjie M5. On the 4th of this month, the single-day sales volume of AITO’s M5 exceeded 1,000 vehicles. Midea has launched a whole house smart home appliance equipped with HarmonyOS system, and Little Swan’s natural series washing machine is also equipped with HarmonyOS system.

In the foreseeable future, the HarmonyOS system will cover more and more areas in our lives, which is incomparable to Apple’s iOS system at present. If Apple also wants to achieve the Internet of Everything, it also needs to make a large-scale layout in the fields of home appliances and travel. Obviously, Huawei has taken the lead in this respect.

And because Huawei is a domestic brand, we can definitely use more HarmonyOS system products than foreign users, just like Little Swan HarmonyOS washing machine may not be exported abroad. Conversely, American users can use more iOS products than us, and some iOS products may not be exported to China. Therefore, in terms of quantity, HarmonyOS system is stronger than iOS.

Of course, it is undeniable that Apple iOS is also a good operating system. But if you rely on the above two aspects, HarmonyOS system will be a good choice.

Illustrating the Belt and Road Initiative: Big Data and Memorabilia of Five Links

  Editor of China Economic Net: From April 24th to 28th, Economic Daily published a full-page special report for five consecutive days, focusing on the Belt and Road Initiative and the Five Links.

  Policy communication:Since China launched the initiative to jointly build the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road to the world in 2013, the construction of the Belt and Road has advanced through exploration, improved through development and grown through cooperation, and the progress and achievements of the construction have far exceeded expectations. With the growing circle of friends in the Belt and Road Initiative, the Belt and Road Initiative has become a major international cooperation initiative to turn ideas into actions and dreams into reality.

  Smooth trade:Over the past three years since the construction of the Belt and Road Initiative, China has actively improved the level of economic and trade cooperation with countries along the route, strengthened exchanges and dialogues with countries along the route, and actively promoted policy communication and strategic docking. In the future, we should continue to promote trade facilitation and cultivate new support points for trade and investment. Gradually establish various information exchange and coordination mechanisms to reduce trade costs and ease the downward pressure on China’s trade.

  Financing:With the interconnection of the "Belt and Road" infrastructure, global trade will achieve new rapid growth, giving birth to a large number of cross-border financial needs such as cross-border investment, trade settlement and currency circulation. In this context, with the opening of China’s financial market and the steady progress of RMB internationalization, China’s banking industry has also increased its support for the construction of the Belt and Road, and a financial cooperation network supported by market-oriented Silk Road Fund and commercial banks is taking shape, which will bring more convenience and preferential treatment to countries along the route.

  Facilities connectivity:The interconnection of transportation is the foundation and the priority area. By jointly building the Belt and Road Initiative, especially by increasing investment in transportation infrastructure, and through win-win cooperation and experience sharing, it will not only play an important role in boosting the economic growth of many developing countries along the route, but also help to cultivate new growth points of the global economy and achieve the goal of strong and sustainable growth of the world economy in the post-crisis era. At present, with the construction of transportation infrastructure as a breakthrough, the early harvest of Asian connectivity has been realized.

  People’s hearts are connected:There are many stories on the "Belt and Road", some involving economic and trade exchanges, some involving infrastructure construction, and the connection between people is an indispensable story. Only by strengthening communication can we have a deeper understanding, enhance friendship and promote benefits, and work together. The common feelings of the people are not only a booster for the construction of the "Belt and Road", but also a social foundation and long-term guarantee. Over the past three years, China has actively inherited and carried forward the spirit of friendly cooperation along the Silk Road, and extensively carried out non-governmental cooperation in culture, education, tourism and other fields with countries and regions along the Belt and Road, laying a solid public opinion foundation for the smooth progress of the Belt and Road construction. The people’s blind date lies in the empathy, and the historical symphony played by the People’s Association is playing on the "Belt and Road".

Huawei Hongmeng Zhixing debuted at the auto show with the most popularity, and fuel vehicles ushered in a collective replacement trend | 2023 Guangzhou Auto Show

If you had been to the Guangzhou Auto Show 10 years ago, you might have been impressed by the massive Beijing Hyundai Sonata advertising campaign both inside and outside the venue.

In 2013, Beijing Hyundai was at its peak and was about to hit an annual sales volume of one million vehicles for the first time. Only a few players of new energy vehicles have launched concept models, which is difficult to support an independent electric vehicle booth.

In just the past 10 years, the situation has undergone tremendous changes. The proportion of new energy models at this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show exceeded 40%, and the most lively venue was Area D, where new car-making forces gathered.

Huawei Hongmeng Zhixing, which made its debut at the auto show, replaced BYD as the most popular booth at the show. This is Huawei’s smart car business alliance. Products on display include the new M7, the M9 and the newly released S7.

Interface News noticed that at the Hongmeng Zhixing booth, there were exhibitors who came to observe and learn in front of almost every exhibition car. A group of exhibitors from Korean auto companies also prepared a stack of materials to carefully study the headlights of the new M7. Mercedes-Benz exhibitors were also studying the product details of the industry. They also went to the Avita booth to learn about the latest release of the Avita 12.

Also visiting and learning were car company bosses. He Xiaopeng, CEO of XPeng Motors, went to the Li Auto booth to visit the competing model Ideal MEGA, and went to the Jiyue booth to discuss pure visual intelligent driving solutions with CEO Xia Yiping; Duan Jianjun, President and CEO of Beijing Mercedes-Benz Sales Company, went to the booth of old rival BMW and personally tried the BMW 5 Series and i5.

Interface News also met Stefan Sielaff, the head of design at the NIO booth. He told Interface News that NIO has done a good job in design to develop the brand, but Krypton can also do better.

Few people realise that it is time for a new generation of the Beizheng Sonata, with the 11th generation making its low-key domestic debut at the Guangzhou auto show. The same batch of replacement gasoline vehicles include the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series and Toyota Camry. These are the classic models of their respective companies that have been selling well in the Chinese auto market for decades.

In order to meet the needs of domestic consumers and catch up with the speed of electrification transformation, these new generation models have simultaneously launched new energy versions and placed them at booth C.

The development speed of China’s new energy vehicles has made joint venture brands uneasy. In the first half of this year, the market share of independent brand passenger cars exceeded 50% for the first time in the half year. The latest data in October shows that the penetration rate of independent brand new energy vehicles is 51%, while the penetration rate of mainstream joint venture brands is only 6.4%.

Sean Green, the newly appointed head of BMW’s Greater China division, made his debut at the Guangzhou auto show in a new capacity, using the idiom "BMW Fragrant Car" throughout the Chinese-language new car launch to demonstrate his closeness and emphasis on the Chinese market.

At the press conference, Duan Jianjun rarely emphasized the achievements of Mercedes-Benz in China’s luxury car market this year, and perhaps also felt the pressure of China’s own brands to break through.

The Japanese joint venture brand adjustment moves more. After the introduction of a number of new energy vehicle products in succession was not well received, the joint venture company is re-establishing its own brand, launching an independent new energy vehicle brand, and handing over the leadership of new energy vehicle products to the Chinese side.

After the original fuel vehicle brand of Dongfeng Nissan switched to the new energy vehicle track, it made an independent booth appearance at the Guangzhou Auto Show, in the same venue as Polaris and Wenjie. GAC Toyota launched a new new energy brand Bozhi, and the first product Bozhi 4X was launched simultaneously; Dongfeng Honda produced the first pure electric concept car of the independent new energy brand Lingxi, which is expected to be officially launched next year.

The launch of these products requires a significant investment of time and resources to truly penetrate consumers’ minds, and it is difficult to compete with domestic independent brand new energy models in the short term.

From the perspective of the distribution of media traffic on the media day, the joint venture brand venues are sparse and deserted, and the booths of new car manufacturers are crowded.

The Guangzhou Auto Show, which is at the end of the year, has always been regarded as the final work of the automobile industry and the bellwether of the automobile market in the next year. The clear reality reflected in this year’s Guangzhou Auto Show is that the competition in the new energy vehicle market will be rolled into more market segments next year. Joint ventures, independent brands and new car-making forces, and the friction between new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles will be more intense.

Li Auto’s first pure electric MPV, the Ideal MEGA, which temporarily decided to participate in the Guangzhou Auto Show, became the "top stream" of this year’s auto show. Although the interior is not yet open to the public, the unique appearance is quite eye-catching on the booth. After the morning launch, the Ideal MEGA’s booth was still full of spectators.

According to the official disclosure of Li Auto, this MPV model priced at 50 to 600,000 yuan, less than 2 hours after the opening of the reservation, the number of small orders exceeded 10,000. Previously, Li Auto said that it would become the first product to sell more than 500,000 yuan, regardless of energy and body form.

The opposite of the ideal MEGA is XPeng Motors’ first pure electric MPV XPeng X9, which is also surrounded by crowds. The pre-sale price of this model is 388,000 yuan, and the whole system comes standard with active rear wheel steering, which is a precedent for MPV tracks.

Although the ideal MEGA and Xiaopeng X9 have clearly distinguished in the price range, before the opening of the Guangzhou Auto Show, the two pure electric MPVs have already erupted in the social public opinion field over the safety and comfort of the third row of MPVs. The public opinion competition between the two sides continued to the auto show.

At the Ideal MEGA conference, Li Auto Commercial Vice President Liu Jie said that many MPVs are still using the Japanese MPV safety concept from 20 years ago, sacrificing the safety of the third row for weight reduction or space flexibility. The rear anti-collision beam is light and thin, and even the third row seat storage is placed in the deep pit of the trunk, which is basically a disaster for the safety of the vehicle.

This comment was seen by the outside world as implying that the XPeng X9 sacrificed safety for the sake of third-row space and comfort. He Xiaopeng said at the subsequent XPeng X9 press conference that the XPeng X9 is the world’s first to use an integrated aluminum die-cast MPV with front and rear, which not only ensures space but also is safer. In the 88km/h rear-end collision test, it will not invade the third-row cockpit.

"Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean we can’t do it," said Huang Honglin, general manager of product marketing at XPeng Motors, responding to safety concerns in an exclusive media interview. According to internal expectations of XPeng Motors, the XPeng X9 will become the sales champion of pure electric MPV.

The competition of new energy vehicles has also spread to the field of pure electric cars, and the price war continues. The pre-sale price of Lantu Automobile’s first electric hybrid sedan, Lantu Chasing Light PHEV, is 266,900 yuan; the pre-sale price of JK 007, the first pure electric luxury sedan under JK, is as low as 224,900 yuan; Feifan Automobile’s newly listed Feifan F7 urban version model, the entry price is further reduced to 189,900 yuan.

Since the price war broke out at the beginning of this year, a number of car companies have set a strategy of "sales rather than profits" in order to win market share. Yang Siyao, general manager of SAIC Audi’s marketing business, said in an exclusive interview with Jiemian News that this is fundamentally a brand knockout competition. "Only by going out can you survive". This kind of price competition will not even end in the short term, or will continue until 2025.

Even BYD has to face up to the intensity of market competition. At the Guangzhou Auto Show, BYD failed to replicate the grandeur of its traffic at the Shanghai Auto Show. The main reason is that BYD has almost contracted 4.2 halls at this auto show, and its brands such as Yangwang, Equation Leopard, and Tengshi have diverted some people. On the other hand, BYD may also need to surprise consumers with more product intelligence and richness.

At the end of the year, the Guangzhou Auto Show is also the best time for car companies to sell cars vigorously and rush sales at the end of the year. Almost every car company’s booth has a live streaming host holding a mobile phone to sell cars live, and sales personnel have also entered the venue.

The car market is expected to surge by more than 20 per cent year-on-year in November as the market strengthens and car companies become more confident in their efforts to meet annual targets, the association said.
