The abnormal death of 20 Siberian tigers is a microcosm of the management crisis of private wildlife parks.

  Author: Chen Guangjiang

  Recently, the reporter found that Fuyang Wildlife Park in Anhui illegally exhibited and artificially bred the Northeast Tiger, a national first-class protected animal, without obtaining an artificial breeding license. Affected by the dispute over the right to operate the zoo, a large number of wild animals died, including 20 Siberian tigers, 2 African lions, 3 giraffes and other precious wild animals. On May 13th, the zoo announced that it would temporarily close the park for three days. At present, the local forestry department has been involved in the investigation.

  Behind the tragedy of the abnormal death of 20 Siberian tigers, there are a series of problems such as unlicensed breeding and chaotic management in private wildlife parks. In the face of doubts, the staff of the garden said that it is normal to be born and die, and the death of the Siberian tiger is not a human factor. "Because the garden needs profit, if the animals die, it will have a great impact on the garden, so they will be taken care of." Another garden staff member said that the tiger who died abnormally on the net "was not from our zoo, but from another boss. We don’t know what happened, and we are learning about the specific situation". The above statement is not only lacking in responsibility and unconvincing, but also suspected of forcing sophistry and even confusing right and wrong.

  It is true that birth, aging, illness and death in nature are inevitable, but in an environment with high human intervention, the health and well-being of animals depend on careful management and scientific maintenance of human beings. If we only blame the death of a large number of wild animals on the "laws of nature" and ignore the possible dereliction of duty and illegal behavior in wildlife parks, I am afraid it is hard to convince people.

  Did the Siberian tiger die of old age or illness? Is there any connection between the death of a large number of wild animals and illegal inbreeding? What adverse effects have been brought to the living environment of animals by issues such as equity disputes? This series of question marks needs to be straightened by relevant departments. No matter what the truth of the incident is, we can’t ignore a social consensus: human faults can’t make animals pay the bill, zoos can’t become "animal purgatory", and the basic ethics of animals can’t be ignored.

  This incident is also a microcosm of the survival crisis of China’s private wildlife parks: blindly following the trend, lacking long-term planning and professional management, many private wildlife parks have buried hidden dangers since their birth, and few zoos can achieve profitability due to poor management and weak supervision. Under this circumstance, abnormal animal deaths are increasing. Under the background of market-oriented operation, how to break through the innovation and get out of the predicament in the operation mode of private wildlife parks is still a difficult problem.

  No matter how innovative the garden is in management, it must respect the life of the animals in the park. It is illegal and criminal to kill wild animals illegally in the wild. Then, do animals need to be held responsible for dying and starving in the zoo? Who should bear the responsibility and what responsibility? Who should supervise and intervene when the enterprise is in poor management and in trouble? These problems still need to be further clarified by laws and regulations. The alarm bell is ringing, and wildlife parks in other places should also take the warning, be kind to wild animals, and stop simply treating them as "cash cows". (Chen Guangjiang)

Tengshi D9 compared with Lantu dreamer, who is better for high-end MPV?

Speaking of Tengshi, there should be many people who must know each other. This high-end new energy brand with BYD and Mercedes-Benz as endorsements released a notice on April 1st and started its brand-new course. Coincidentally, Lantu Auto also took a fancy to the "cake" of luxury MPV market, both of which are new forces and luxury MPV. Lantu’s dreamer and Tengshi D9 should be regarded as the most direct competitors. Then, who is more qualified to sit on the top spot of domestic luxury MPV? Let’s compare it!

Appearance contrast

Dreamer and Tengshi D9′ s exterior design are all high-end executive MPV shapes, so they have square and wide body lines and a more atmospheric and stable image like traditional MPV.

Compared with the Lan Tu FREE, which locates the SUV, the straight waterfall air intake grille of the Dreamer’s car head has become larger in area, and a lot of chrome decoration has been used.

Viewed from the side, the front of the Dreamer is longer than the traditional MPV, and the 20-inch multi-spoke wheel hub conforms to its image of taking care of both business and home. In terms of vehicle size, it also completely surpasses the Buick GL8, which is almost equal to the V-class long wheelbase model.

At first glance, Tengshi D9′ s tall and plump front and the grille design with inverted trapezoid structure look a bit like Erffa. On the side of the car body, a prominent through waistline is added to the standard shape of high-end commercial MPV. In addition, as a medium and large MPV, Tengshi D9 also surpasses Buick GL8 and Erffa in size, but it is slightly different from the dreamer.

If we must compare the face value, Tengshi D9 is more in line with the author’s aesthetic standards for a high-end MPV.

Interior contrast

Dreamer’s interior adopts the multi-screen design of Lantu FREE. Although the screen lifting function is cancelled, it still looks very scientific and technological, and the interior materials and workmanship still maintain a high level.

Although the appearance of Tengshi D9 is basically divorced from BYD’s existing design framework, the interior is still full of "Diwei". The suspended central control panel and the dual-spoke steering wheel are familiar smells. Similar central control design is common in BYD’s 100,000-300,000 models, and now Tengshi, which is positioned at a higher end, is directly copied. Fortunately, Tengshi D9 uses better materials in leather and decorative boards, so the overall texture should be much higher than BYD’s.

Comparison of space comfort

In terms of comfort, the dreamer has an oversized and flexible space layout, a wheelbase of 3 meters 2, 2+2+3 seats and a central passage layout. The second row of seats also provides electric leg rest, lumbar support, seat massage, heating and ventilation functions, which can bring more comfortable feelings when riding. In addition, the second row also provides a small table board, the switch button of the electric sliding door, the air conditioning control panel, the cup holder, the USB charging port and the small drawer, which can be described as meticulous care.

The second row of Tengshi D9 is also full of materials. First of all, the function control area is placed on the armrest of the seat, in the form of a small LCD screen; In addition, the second row provides two large LCD screens for passengers to enjoy audio-visual entertainment. Not only that, the second row also provides a car refrigerator that can hold 8 bottles of water. As for the unexposed configurations such as small tables, Zhao Changjiang also said that "there is a solution".

Dynamic contrast

Dreamer will launch a pure electric version and a plug-in hybrid version. The plug-in hybrid vehicle is equipped with a dual-drive motor with front 130 kW/rear 160 kW, and the total power of the power system reaches 290 kW. At the same time, the vehicle is equipped with a 1.5T engine, and the total peak torque of the system reaches 610 Nm. The cruising range of pure electric mode (CLTC standard) is 82km, and the comprehensive cruising range (WLTC standard) is 720km.

The pure electric version is equipped with ternary lithium battery, with a maximum power of 320 kW and a peak torque of 620 Nm. Depending on the configuration, 82kWh and 108.7kWh batteries are provided, and the cruising range (CLTC standard) is 475km and 605km respectively.

The power of Tengshi D9 has not been announced yet, but it will provide two power forms of DM super hybrid EV, and Tengshi also promises that the comprehensive cruising range of vehicles equipped with DM super hybrid technology will exceed 1000 kilometers. With BYD’s new energy technology as an endorsement, the author is confident about Tengshi D9′ s battery life.

Write it at the end

Comparatively speaking, the internal and external designs of Dreamer and Tengshi D9 have reached the level of high-end MPV. In terms of performance, Tengshi D9 has BYD’s technical endorsement, so it will be more recognized in the market; However, in terms of selling price, Lantu Dreamer is 369,900-689,900 yuan, and the starting price of Tengshi D9 may be around 450,000 yuan. Therefore, on the whole, the competitiveness of the two models is quite equal. Which model do you think has a brighter future? Welcome to leave a message below to discuss with Xiaobian!

Let more life-saving and emergency-saving drugs enter medical insurance —— The construction of dynamic adjustment mechanism of medical insurance catalogue in China has entered an accelerated period.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 15th Title: Let more life-saving and emergency-saving drugs enter medical insurance-The construction of dynamic adjustment mechanism of medical insurance catalogue in China has entered an accelerated period.

Xinhua News Agency reporter Chen Fang, Zhang Quan

The change of medical insurance catalogue is related to the well-being of hundreds of millions of participants.

Zero tariff on imported anticancer drugs, medical insurance negotiation, centralized drug procurement organized by the state … Since 2018, China has taken a series of measures to promote drug price reduction.

The executive meeting of the State Council recently pointed out that China will speed up the frequency of adjusting the medical insurance drug list and include more life-saving anticancer drugs and other drugs into medical insurance. This means that the construction of the dynamic adjustment mechanism of China’s medical insurance catalogue has entered an accelerated period, and the people are expected to gain more happiness.

Anti-cancer drugs enter medical insurance, and patients no longer look forward to "drugs"

The movie Dying to Survive, which was a big hit last year, aroused widespread concern about anticancer drugs in society. Once, "a pill" dragged down a family. Now, anticancer drugs have entered medical insurance, bringing hope to more families.

With the comprehensive promotion of medical reform, the "combination boxing" of drug price reduction policy has been implemented one after another and achieved practical results. Accelerating the adjustment frequency of medical insurance drug list and bringing more good drugs into medical insurance have become the key links to benefit patients.

For lung cancer patients with T790M gene mutation, the third-generation targeted drug oxitinib has obvious curative effect, but for Mr. Wang of Anhui Province, the "sky-high price" of a box of 50,000 yuan once made him look forward to "medicine". After the national medical insurance negotiation and inclusion in medical insurance, the burden of medical expenses has been greatly reduced.

The relevant person in charge of the National Medical Insurance Bureau said that in order to allow patients to enjoy more good drugs without causing a serious deficit in the medical insurance fund, China has reduced the drug price through price negotiation and squeezed out the unreasonable part of the drug price.

In October 2018, 17 kinds of anticancer drugs, including oxitinib, were included in the Category B scope of the National Drug List of Basic Medical Insurance, Work Injury Insurance and Maternity Insurance (2017 Edition), and the medical insurance payment standard decreased by an average of 56.7% compared with the retail price.

By the end of last year, medical institutions and pharmacies nationwide had purchased about 1.84 million tablets (tablets/unit) of 17 kinds of anticancer drugs negotiated by the country at the negotiated price, with a total purchase amount of 562 million yuan, which saved 918 million yuan in procurement costs compared with the pre-negotiated price, and reduced the cost burden after medical insurance reimbursement by more than 75%.

To meet the people’s drug demand, the national medical insurance drug list "grows again and again"

Since the first edition of the national medical insurance drug list was formulated in 2000, it has been revised in 2004, 2009 and 2017, and the coverage of drugs has been increasing. When the 2017 edition of the National Medical Insurance Catalogue was released, it contained a total of 2,535 drugs. During the revision process, four types of clinical drugs, such as children’s drugs, innovative drugs, major disease treatment drugs and ethnic drugs, were given key support.

The incidence of chronic diseases and malignant tumors has increased, and the number of patients with rare diseases has continued to increase … At present, the spectrum of diseases in China’s population has changed significantly. Compared with the drug demand of the masses, there is still much room for improvement in the updating frequency, catalogue proportion and structure of the national medical insurance catalogue. For example, in 2018, the first batch of 121 rare diseases listed by the state that patients in urgent need of treatment drugs have not been included in medical insurance; Hummel, the "global drug king" who has 17 indications and treats a variety of rheumatic immune diseases, is also out of the catalogue.

In May last year, China published the First List of Rare Diseases, in which 121 rare diseases such as multiple sclerosis were included. In July, National Medical Products Administration approved the marketing of Obadiah in China for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis, which is the first oral disease correction drug approved in China for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.

"No matter whether it is a rare disease or a chronic disease, a disease that causes a huge economic burden to patients is a serious illness." Wang Chen, an academician of China Academy of Engineering and director of Peking Union Medical College of China Academy of Medical Sciences, said that biological agents are the most effective drug for treating some chronic diseases at present. If patients can get timely and standardized treatment, they will maximize their quality of life. We should use the medical insurance mechanism to assume the social responsibility of benefiting more patients, give full play to the scientific guiding role of the medical insurance mechanism in the medical ecology of the whole society, encourage the research and development of drugs for the treatment of rare diseases, and make the basic drug list and the basic medical insurance list and other related systems reasonably connected and linked.

Dynamic adjustment mechanism is the key to let more good drugs enter medical insurance.

The Central Economic Work Conference held not long ago clearly stated that "more life-saving and emergency-saving medicines should be included in medical insurance". The the State Council executive meeting held on February 11th once again proposed to speed up the registration and approval of new anticancer drugs at home and abroad, organize experts to select new overseas drugs that are urgently needed in clinic, improve the import policy, and promote the simultaneous listing of new overseas drugs in China. Smooth the temporary import channels of anticancer drugs urgently needed in clinic.

"For the people, this is a great benefit." Wang Bo, a special researcher at the National Center for Drug Policy and Pharmaceutical Industry Economics of China Pharmaceutical University, said that the most important thing now is to explore and establish a dynamic adjustment mechanism. It is necessary to strengthen the evaluation method of pharmacoeconomics, realize the selection method of combining clinical recommendation, industry association and enterprise application, and narrow the gap between people’s growing health demand and medical service supply level as soon as possible.

As a local innovative practice, medical insurance in some provinces and cities has included new drugs and good drugs which are urgently needed by patients, greatly improve the quality of life of patients and their families, have clear curative effects and are clinically necessary, and achieved good benefits. For example, Xiumeile, which is used to treat autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis, has been included in the serious illness medical insurance system of eight provinces, cities or units such as Qingdao, Shandong and Shenzhen, Guangdong in China.

Wang Bo believes that the country urgently needs to establish a mechanism of "making medicines well and getting good results". In the future, the coverage of the national medical insurance catalogue should be further expanded to more fields, so as to realize "regular approval of enterprises, regular review of medical insurance and regular update to meet the requirements". With the steady progress of a series of measures such as encouraging the research and development of innovative drugs and facilitating the listing of new drugs, more life-saving and emergency-saving good drugs can be accelerated.

By December 10, 2018, National Medical Products Administration Drug Evaluation Center had received and processed more than 1,500 applications for communication and exchange, including more than 600 applications for anti-tumor drugs, and the progress of innovative drug research and development of domestic pharmaceutical companies entered the expressway.

This year, China will cancel the declaration requirement that some imported drugs must be listed overseas before they can apply for import, encourage global innovative drugs to be developed simultaneously at home and abroad, and attract more cancer treatment drugs to be listed in China. While improving the quality of drugs and reducing the price of drugs, we will guide enterprises to increase innovation.

 

At least 40 people were killed when the Moscow subway was bombed during the rush hour (Figure)

Topic: Mumbai serial terrorist attacks in India

    A running subway train in Moscow, Russia, exploded on the morning of the 6th. The Interfax news agency said that the explosion had killed at least 40 people and injured hundreds. Russian officials believe that this is likely to be a suicide attack.






    


Rescuers carried an injured person out of the subway station. Xinhua/AFP


    Heavy casualties during the rush hour.


    The explosion occurred around 8: 30 am Moscow time on the 6th (1: 30 pm Beijing time on the 6th), which was the rush hour. After a subway train left the station for about 500 meters, the second carriage suddenly exploded, and the train continued to rush forward for 500 meters under the action of inertia before stopping. The explosion caused a fire and smoke billowed in the subway tunnel.


    Ilya blokhin, a 31-year-old doctor who was sitting in the penultimate carriage at the time of the incident, said: "I heard a loud noise similar to the explosion of firecrackers, and then smoke filled the carriage. Now the subway has also exploded. How will our country, government and police respond when they (terrorists) blow up subway trains crowded with passengers? "


    A woman with a bloody face told the camera lens of Moscow Independent Television that for a long time after the explosion, passengers in the car could not open the door. Finally, they managed to pry open the car door and walked for another 2 to 3 kilometers before leaving the tunnel.


    After the explosion, the police immediately closed the two subway stations closest to the train and interrupted the subway operation. Hundreds of fire engines and ambulances quickly gathered near the incident. Rescuers approached the train from both ends of the subway tunnel and firefighters began to put out the fire. Many dead and injured people were carried out from the subway station.


    Nikolai isaev, a reporter from Reuters who was present, said: "I saw at least three injured people. One person has a head injury, and the other seems to have lost consciousness. The injured were taken to an ambulance and taken away from the scene. "


    Lena, who works in a grocery store near the nearest subway station, said: "We saw them carry out the bodies and the injured covered in blood."


    She said that shortly after the explosion, a man "walked into the store, shivering and covered in blood." He said,’ Give me a bottle of vodka.’ "The man said that he crossed the bombed car and walked out of the tunnel.


    "He told us that he saw his arms and legs scattered in the carriage. He said it was a bloody massacre. " Lena said.


    Another suicide bombing?


    Judging the nature of this incident, ITAR-TASS quoted an official of the Federal Security Service as saying: "The main judgment of this incident is a terrorist activity."


    A spokesman for the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs made a clearer inference when interviewed by a reporter from Reuters. "I don’t rule out the possibility that the explosion was carried out by a suicide bomber." He said.


    The Interfax news agency also reported that the police’s current judgment is that the explosion is most likely a terrorist incident committed by a female suicide attacker.


    Moscow police said that the explosive used in this incident was equivalent to more than 1 kg of TNT.


    Later on the 6th, the ITAR-TASS news agency reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin made a statement on the case during his talks with visiting Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. He said: "Only by uniting all forces can we deal with terrorism, the disaster of the 21st century."


    After learning the news, Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov, who is visiting the United States, has also adjusted his itinerary and will return to China early.


    In recent years, illegal armed forces in the Chechen Republic of Russia have carried out a series of suicide bombings in Russia. In July last year, two suicide bombers made an explosion at an open-air concert in Moscow, killing 16 people, including them; In December last year, a female attacker detonated explosives in front of a hotel near Moscow’s Red Square, killing at least five passers-by; Five days later, Moscow police foiled another suicide attack plot. However, it is still impossible to confirm whether the subway bombing on the 6 th is also related to the illegal armed forces in Chechnya.


    Moreover, since the bombing occurred before the Russian presidential election on March 14th, it attracted more public attention.


    After the news of the explosion of the subway train came out, the financial market in Moscow was immediately shaken. The exchange rate between the ruble and the US dollar fell by 0.3%, and the stock price also fell by nearly 2%.


    There are over 100 subway stations in Moscow. The police said that after the incident, Moscow and St. Petersburg, the second largest city in Russia, have strengthened the security of the subway system.

Original From "One Man and Horse" to "Combination of Chinese and Western" – Mazda EZ-6: The "Touchstone" of Joint Venture New Energy

If the joint venture car companies 40 years ago were to achieve "market-for-technology", then the new joint venture era is to achieve "technology-for-market" and reverse export Chinese technology, and even brands. Take Changan as an example, the EZ-6, a pure electric/range-extended new energy B-class car launched by the joint venture, provides a good research model for how the joint venture can break through in the existing market environment.

Forty years ago, China agreed to set up foreign joint ventures in China, with the fundamental focus being – market for technology, which means opening up the huge Chinese mainland market to foreign investment in order to obtain foreign car companies to help China improve its automobile development capabilities, including learning from foreign advanced manufacturing and management experience.

After 40 years, the market environment has undergone tremendous changes. Chinese car companies represented by BYD and Geely have achieved remarkable results in capital operation, supply chain vertical management, core technology development, etc., and have made rapid progress in Sandian and intelligent development. Chinese car companies have also changed from the role of "little brothers" in the past to a new force that all foreign car companies dare not underestimate, even "leaders". Auto giants such as Ford are lamenting: "They are ahead of us."

Between the above advances and retreats, on the one hand, China’s local brands have become stronger and bigger, achieving "brand spillover", on the one hand, the share of foreign brands in the country has shrunk, and the voice over has weakened, which has caused the competitiveness of joint venture car companies to decline, and led to a topic:How can joint venture car companies respond to market changes? Are they losing ground or even withdrawing from the Chinese market, or are they shrinking their front line and actively transforming?

The terrified Ford CEO

And the aggressive Mazda president

The Wall Street Journal published an article on September 14 local time, "What is Ford CEO scared of in China?", the article said that after visiting China, Ford Motor CEO Jim Farley told the company’s board members that Chinese automakers are moving at the speed of light, the artificial intelligence and other technologies used in cars are completely different from existing technologies in the United States, and these Chinese electric vehicle manufacturers that provide smooth digital functions are using low-cost supply chains to beat competitors on price and aggressively expand into overseas markets.

"In just a few short years, Chinese electric carmakers such as BYD have wrested significant domestic market share from once dominant foreign competitors through low prices, high-tech interiors and rapid iterations of vehicles. Now, the Chinese carmaker is rapidly expanding into Europe, the Middle East and other Asian markets," the article said.

After Mr. Farley and a group of Ford executives took a test drive of Changan on the test track, everyone was stunned by the technological advancements of their partner, Changan – a smooth and quiet ride with a high-end, tech-savvy and easy-to-use interior. "Jim, it’s completely different," John Lawler, Ford’s chief financial officer, told Mr. Farley after the test drive. "They’re ahead of us."

Mazda executives share the same feelings as Ford executives. Deng Zhitao, executive vice president of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., told the author: "The president of Mazda Mao Long came to China on the second day of his tenure, and this year’s Beijing Auto Show came to the scene to release the EZ-6. At the Beijing Auto Show, Mazda’s parent company sent about 200 people to conduct a comprehensive research and analysis on the competition and changes of new energy in China, which shows that Mazda’s parent company attaches unprecedented importance to the Chinese market. Without high-frequency communication, it is difficult for foreign parties to understand the changes in the Chinese market."

Deng Zhitao, Executive Vice President of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd.

Regarding the changes in awareness of the Ford and Mazda brands, Deng Zhitao, executive vice president of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., commented:"The leadership of the Mazda brand is very determined and enlightened to transition to electrification, so embrace new things quickly. Ford is also making changes to electrification, but the speed needs to be accelerated."

Changan Mazda Model:

The "New Joint Venture Model" of Receivism

In the current context of accelerating the intelligentization of domestic automobiles, joint ventures are facing the dilemma of failure to advance and retreat. There are even opinions that under the impact of China’s local market, most joint ventures will withdraw from the Chinese market. Is there really no market outlet for joint venture car companies?

Objectively, most joint venture car companies are not fully prepared when dealing with this wave of changes, and the parent companies of Chinese and foreign parties also lack sufficient organizational resources to allow the joint venture to achieve transformation. In the fields of three power and intelligence, foreign parties do not have accumulated and technological advantages, and many Chinese investors may not have much strength. Even if the latter has technical advantages, deep cooperation cannot be realized because the two sides have not reached a sufficient consensus.

As the saying goes, it’s easy to turn around, and it’s not the big Macs like Toyota and Volkswagen, GM and Ford that are rapidly transforming and "blossoming" in this regard, but Mazda from Japan. Why? This may come from Mazda’s sense of crisis and recognition of China’s advantages.

Mazda has a deep foundation in the field of traditional car manufacturing, while Changan Automobile has been deeply cultivated in the fields of Sandian and intelligence for many years, and both have their own advantages. At the dawn of the new joint venture era, Changan Mazda, as a joint venture, gives full play to the advantageous resources given by both shareholders to achieve a strong alliance.

Deng Zhitao said: "Mazda highly recognizes the position and technology of Changan’s parent company in the field of Sandian. This time, the EZ-6 product also uses Changan’s Sandian technology and architecture in an all-round way. At the same time, Changan’s parent company also recognizes Mazda’s capabilities in design, control, quality, and safety. Therefore, during the design and development of the EZ-6, we were divided into three teams, namely Changan’s team, Mazda’s team, and Changan Mazda’s team. Each team has clear responsibilities. For example, in terms of control, design, quality and craftsmanship, it is led by the Mazda team. In terms of Sandian Intelligence, Changan’s team is responsible for the final acceptance. It can be said that the EZ-6 is a product produced under the high recognition and high compatibility of our parent companies.

It can be said that Changan Mazda’s flexible and pragmatic operating mechanism has played a huge advantage: compared with other joint venture brands, Changan Mazda is more flexible; and compared with new car manufacturers, Mazda has played an advantage in design and quality control.It can be said that Changan Mazda reflects the flexible mechanism and efficient operation of the new joint venture era, which can be understood as "Mazda’s brand advantage + Changan Automobile’s new technology empowerment"; in this way, the joint venture can not only continue to play the advantages of foreign capital in vehicle manufacturing, but also play to China’s late-mover advantages in new technologies such as intelligence, and achieve vertical integration of the supply chain, accelerate product launch, timely adjustment and optimization, and rapid iteration.

Deng Zhitao gave an example: "From the supply chain level, the EZ-6 uses many excellent domestic supply chains. For example, the EZ-6 battery originated from the Ningde era, and it is a 3C battery, including the zero-gravity seat. In the field of joint venture new energy, there are also few products that can be equipped with double zero-gravity seats, including the range-extending battery used by AVIC Plaza. The battery cells of AVIC Plaza are also fully 3C-level. In the future, OTA upgrades will continue to be carried out, adding intelligent assisted driving such as automatic off-ramp. At present, our intelligent driving system should be the latest and best research results of Changan Institute of Science and Technology."

Sample significance of EZ-6:

The "first battle" of joint venture new energy transformation

At a time when Changan and Mazda have reached a consensus to actively promote the transformation of Changan Mazda, the Chinese market has become the first choice to test the new joint venture and its products. If the market sells well and achieves initial success, then you can go overseas to participate in international competition. On the contrary, if you fail to succeed in the Chinese market and fail to return, then this new joint venture model will face severe tests and questions from the outside world: Can you do it?

When it comes to this topic, Deng Zhitao’s expression is very serious: "We believe that the Chinese market must be a very important core market for developing a global product. At present, there may be more car brands in the Chinese market than any other car market in the world. So if the Chinese market is’not good ‘, I believe it will not be able to compete in the future global market. This is what I call the’spillover’ of the Chinese auto market. The fierce competition in the Chinese market is now expanding to the global scale, and it may become more intense next year. Therefore, the spillover of competition will form a strong global effect. When we develop the EZ-6, we hope to first do a good job in the Chinese market. If the domestic market can do well, I believe we can also do well in the global competition in the future."

"We must first do a good job in the Chinese market. If the Chinese market is not good, let alone the global market. If the joint venture wants to deal with the competition of domestic independent brands in the future, the Chinese market is the bridgehead; how to compete well in the Chinese market. How to do a good job in upgrading and iterating technology is very critical for Changan Mazda," Deng Zhitao said.

Once the first battle of the EZ-6 is successful, then the process of the experience accumulated in the development process of this product will be continuously reproduced on the subsequent models of Changan Mazda. "Through the EZ-6 product, a team will be formed to precipitate a set of processes. The so-called process, I think, is the methodology in the product development process and the entire Quality Standard and acceptance system. Through the precipitation of the entire process system, in the future, on our second, third and fourth products, we will use Changan Mazda’s process to manage the development of the current product." Deng Zhitao added.

At this year’s Beijing Auto Show, the relevant person in charge of MIIT visited the Changan Mazda booth and gave a high evaluation of the MAZDA EZ-6 product. The relevant person in charge pointed out: "In the process of new energy development, you can’t build cars behind closed doors. I hope other domestic joint venture brands can learn from Changma; if the EZ-6 product can have a good performance in sales, whether it is for the development of the entire industry, the parent company of both parties, the local government, and the country, it has played a positive and exemplary role. In the past, the joint venture model was based on the market for technology, which also drove the rapid development of the automobile industry chain. It can be said that enterprises cultivate the industry chain, such as Tesla and Apple. In the future, we also hope that the domestic automotive industry chain system can also feed back the enterprise and provide better’nutrition ‘for the development of the enterprise, so as to form the’flower’ of the joint venture brand. "

From the perspective of the EZ-6 product, it reflects not only the traditional inherent value of the joint venture brand (derived from Mazda), but also the innovative value of the new joint venture era (such as range extension technology and intelligent driving technology, derived from Changan Automobile).

The biggest market opportunity for joint venture car companies to launch new energy models is that some users have both brand requirements for the product, and hope that it can match the products of their own brands in terms of electrification and intelligence. EZ-6 products have their own market opportunity points similar to "Tianji horse racing". When competing with joint venture competitors on the same stage, its performance in three electricity and intelligence will give them extra points. Compared with the same level of independent brand models, Mazda’s vehicle mechanical quality and quality sense, reliability and comparative advantages.

Users want both, and joint venture new energy products are both available. Can the two resonate at the same frequency?

"Golden Horse Best Actor" Ruan Jingtian talks about the feeling of winning: I have forgotten that honor

  Last Saturday (20th), the major awards of Taiwan’s "Golden Horse Awards" were freshly released. Yesterday, the steaming new Golden Horse "Best Actor" Ruan Jingtian came to Suzhou to participate in a cosmetic endorsement event. He jumped from popular idol Xiaosheng to "Best Actor" overnight. He thought that Ruan Jingtian would have a glowing face and a strong aura when he came. Even the organizers made a big move and invited more than N black-clad security guards, for fear of snubbing the handsome guy. But unexpectedly, when Xiaotian appeared, he was wearing a particularly simple plaid shirt and a pair of jeans. His attitude was also like that of the boy next door, "It’s been two days since I won the award, and I have forgotten this honor."

  When he won the prize, he was "dumbfounded" and pretended to be calm, but he couldn’t help crying after winning the prize

  Ruan Jingtian’s performance in "Monga" defeated the high-voiced "old drama bone" Wang Xueqi and "big hit" Qin Hao, and won the golden horse "Best Actor", which somewhat surprised some people. Yesterday, when talking about this honor that made many actors "envy and envy", Ruan Jingtian’s statement was full of humility. He said: "I also feel that I have won the award. I originally wanted to perform a silent smile under the stage to watch people accept the award, but when I knew it was me, I was dumbfounded. I looked very calm on stage, because I kept telling myself in my heart that I must hold on and not cry. How can I cry when I win the award? I can only laugh!" But under the stage, Ruan Jingtian still burst into tears, "I can’t help it."

  Regarding the other candidates, Ruan Jingtian said, "They are all very good actors in my heart, and being able to compete with them on the same stage is a great encouragement to me. The reason why I was able to win the award is because of good luck." At this point, Ruan Jingtian’s face suddenly showed a very relaxed expression: "Anyone who is familiar with me knows that my greatest wish is not how much money I earn and how many plays I shoot in a year, but to do my favorite work. If I can act for another 20 years and have innovative and breakthrough performances, I will be satisfied. The award was already two days ago, and now it is the third day, I have long forgotten." Everyone did not expect that Ruan Jingtian would give such a wonderful answer. Many reporters spontaneously applauded during his speech.

  Zan girlfriend is a good actor, it’s not time to get married yet

  The handsome and slender Ruan Jingtian looks like an outstanding male actor. When he smiles, his eyes will "kill" a group of little girls, but his posture is not like a noble like Leung Chaowei. He is as friendly as the boy next door. Yesterday, Ruan Jingtian’s endorsement event became an almost crazy fan meeting. The girls who came on stage to hug and shake hands with him screamed, and one girl was so excited that she cried.

  As an idol, Ruan Jingtian never denied that he already had a girlfriend. He even took his girlfriend Xu Weining on the red carpet and held a celebration party at the Golden Horse Awards. When he won the award, he also thanked his girlfriend, "I know that I am actually a troublemaker, and I have a lot of right and wrong. Thank you for never giving up and always accompanying me." But yesterday, when he heard everyone only say that Xu Weining was his girlfriend, he kept apologizing for her, "In fact, don’t always think that she is my girlfriend, she is not only my girlfriend, but also a very good actor. I don’t want her to always be in my shadow, I hope she can fly freely. Everyone should give her a chance, don’t always mention me, I will feel very embarrassed." It can be heard that Ruan Jingtian cherishes Xu Weining very much. However, regarding the rumors from the outside world that he "got married in a flash" after becoming the best actor, he refuted the rumors and said, "I will not consider it for the time being. Winning the grand prize and getting married are two different things, and neither she nor I feel that it is time to get married soon.

  Self-rated "not smart person" wants to cooperate with Doudao all the time  

  After receiving the award, Xiao Tian thanked the brothers of "Monga" many times. Yesterday, he also said with deep emotion, "This award belongs to all the staff of" Monga ". If I only relied on the strength of one person, I would not be where I am today. I hope that in the future, I can go higher and farther together with Doudao and the people of the Prince Gang." He praised his credit for Doudao Niu Chengze, "Doudao knows me very well. He is a teacher, brother, and father. If it weren’t for his tireless guidance, many directors would have lost patience with me. I am not a smart person. I need to rely on others to constantly give me advice."

  When asked who else he wanted to work with because of Doudao’s kindness, Ruan Jingtian’s answer was "Niu Chengze", "I think if I have the opportunity, I will always work with Doudao." According to him, Doudao is already preparing the script, and he will participate in it, but he does not know when the shooting time will be. Ruan Jingtian joked, "He has always been very slow." The hot Ruan Jingtian, the director of the next film cooperation is Chen Kexin. Xiao Tian said that he has many film genres that he wants to try, such as ancient costumes, romance movies, and even he wants to play a police officer or imagine playing a small person like Lu Liping.

  Once the development was not going well, I had to quit, feeling that life is a long-distance competition

  Ruan Jingtian, who is now in good luck, has not been smooth sailing. On the night he won the Golden Horse Award, he cried uncontrollably in an interview with reporters and thanked a series of people. He said: "First of all, I have to thank my grandfather. Many times when I can’t support myself in the circle, he will secretly send me money." Ruan Jingtian mentioned the matter again yesterday. Because of the poor development, he wanted to leave the circle several times. "I feel that I am almost 30 years old and want to be responsible for my life, but my family and people in the circle have given me a lot of support and made me stay."

  These trials also made Ruan Jingtian look at today’s success very soberly, "I used to be a swimmer, and it was a long distance. The distance of life is also a long-distance competition. At the beginning, I kept rushing all the way, and in the middle, I will be tired. I must hold on during this time. The same principle applies to making movies. If you have a dream, you have to hold on, and that’s right."

  Next year will be Ruan Jingtian’s ten years in the industry, he said. "In the ten years of entering the industry, who is your family and who is your benefactor, you always know who you want to thank. So, when I accepted the award, I said that my acceptance speech has been prepared for ten years." Ruan Jingtian felt that after taking the best actor, "what I can do is still to do my job well and be worthy of the director and the audience." As for whether he will no longer pay attention to idol dramas in the future and focus on the big screen, Ruan Jingtian denied, "I will not forget idol dramas, it is it that has cultivated me. As long as there is a suitable script and a good combination, I am willing to try to make TV dramas." (Reporter, Zhang Yi)
