At the iCAR brand night of Mirimiqi, Chery finally became foreign.

Just one year later, the iCAR brand has once again ushered in rejuvenation, from product design, product positioning, to all VI vision and brand slogans, which Chery calls "brand upgrading".

On April 16th last year, Chery officially released its fourth brand "iCAR". At that time, iCAR showed its first brand-new pure electric SUV-icar03, and unveiled a concept car iCAR GT, and even specially launched an "I" logo designed by jigsaw puzzle.

At that time, there was a feeling in the whole press conference that Chery, who lives in Wuhu, wanted to build a new energy brand for the young market. The perception of this brand was still a bit "rustic" and there was a feeling that "the science man pretended to be a hipster".

ICAR brand was promoted step by step last year, and iCAR 03 was officially listed at the beginning of this year after a year of preheating. Although the sales volume of iCAR 03 has now exceeded 8,000 vehicles, the volume of the market and the popularity among young consumers are not high.

The turning point of events occurred on March 30th this year-which happened to be the third day when Xiaomi SU7 was listed-Su Jun, CEO of Zhimi Technology, posted a detailed picture of an off-road vehicle on social media, and the brand on it was written as "iCAR V23", which quickly attracted the attention of a small number of car enthusiasts.

Soon after, some media officially released the static live video of iCAR V23, and with a series of official maps released by the iCAR team, the whole social media was "chain detonated".

Young consumers wandering on social media quickly found this pure electric SUV that looks like the "mini version of the guardian" and has a classic hard-core off-road vehicle design style, and their eyes were quickly attracted by it. At that time, there were rumors that this car was the legendary "Redmi Automobile", which is the deputy brand of Xiaomi Automobile. With Su Jun’s certification as "CEO of Zhimi Technology", the term "Redmi Automobile" seems to be "traceable".

Soon, Zhimi Technology and Xiaomi issued separate articles, explaining that iCAR V23, Zhimi Technology CEO Su Jun, Zhimi Technology and Xiaomi Ecological Chain have no equity relationship, nor are they the so-called "millet ecological chain cars". However, these relationships show that the inclusion in the listing boom of Xiaomi SU7 quickly made the general public pay more attention to the relationship between iCAR and Xiaomi’s ecological chain, which further made iCAR V23 an instant hit and the iCAR brand re-entered the general public’s field of vision.

Until April 12, Chery iCAR brand night, Chery and Su Jun officially presented the brand-new iCAR brand in front of the stage, which gradually clarified the status quo of Chery iCAR brand.

Yin Tongyue, Party Secretary and Chairman of Chery Holding Group, defined iCAR as a "new special zone" created by Chery Group. He emphasized that Chery has no upper limit on its investment in the development of iCAR, and its goal is to help iCAR enter the first camp of new energy.

Another protagonist of the conference is Su Jun, CEO of Zhimi Technology. He is also the chief product officer of iCAR brand, which is regarded as the "joint leader" of iCAR brand. ICAR brand official said that Su Jun will lead the entrepreneurial team hatched by Zhimi Technology into the iCAR brand. He and his team will be responsible for industrial design, product definition and innovative marketing, while Chery will be responsible for technology development, supply chain and quality management capabilities.

The phrase "the entrepreneurial team hatched by Zhimi Technology" actually shows the new changes in the iCAR team.

According to the understanding of the driving school, the current iCAR brand is actually different from last year’s state and organizational structure. There are rumors that Su Jun originally led the internal team of Zhimi Technology to plan to build a car, which was manufactured by Chery. However, in the end, due to various reasons and decisions, the car-making team that originally belonged to Zhimi became independent and merged with the Chery iCAR brand.

At this point, Su Jun’s Xiaomi eco-chain car has also been integrated into the iCAR brand, and the design, marketing, public relations, engineering and other talents in the team have also merged with iCAR. This also formed the "special zone" model that Yin Tongyue said, which is equivalent to Chery’s semi-opening of the original iCAR brand and its integration with the external market-oriented team, instead of Chery’s overall leadership.

The biggest help for Chery here is that the V23 product originally built by Zhimi Incubation Team was directly incorporated into the iCAR brand, and with the planning of X25 model, the new iCAR brand was directly derived from the original iCAR 03 model to three models in a short time.

Not only is the product line expanded, but after the integration of the new team, the Logo, VI and even Slogan of the whole iCAR brand have been completely replaced.

One of the most prominent places is that the jigsaw puzzle I Logo created by the previous iCAR brand did not appear again at this new iCAR brand conference, and it was replaced by a newly designed iCAR logo. At the same time, including brand promotional videos, product animations, PPT speeches, etc., the new iCAR brand has more youthful and digital features that technology companies like Xiaomi were good at before. From the whole visual point of view, the brand has become more "foreign".

It can be said that these changes are the brand images of so many brands that Chery has built before-except perhaps Guanzhi-which have the most consumption characteristics of the new generation.

However, the core reason why Su Jun and Chery can reach an agreement on the iCAR brand is that the brand positioning of both old and new brands is to build cars for young consumers, and their products are built according to the needs of young users, creating cool and valuable cars for young people. Therefore, the iCAR brand night emphasized "upgrading iCAR brand" instead of appearing as a brand-new brand.

At this brand launch, Su Jun further revealed some information about the previously published iCAR V23 products, and also brought a brand-new series of products-X25.

Some new information about iCAR V23:

With a body length of about -4.2 meters and a wheelbase of 2730mm, you can choose 21-inch large wheels and off-road tires.

-At present, apart from silver, there are two car colors: olive green and Hermes orange, with corresponding interior colors;

-The car is designed with four large sofas, but it is actually a five-seat model. The rear central seat belt is stored on the roof, and the seat can be laid down at 50:50;

-The car system adopts 8155 chip, 2.5K high-definition large screen, 3D HMI based on unreal engine, supports wireless CarPlay, and the UI color tone is consistent with the orange decoration in the car;

-The assisted driving system uses an 8-megapixel forward-looking camera, a 3-megapixel panoramic camera and five millimeter-wave radars. The chip uses Horizon J3+ Qualcomm TDA4 to support L2++ intelligent driving including high-speed NOA;

-The new car will adopt 80-degree Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited battery pack, dual-motor drive and intelligent dynamic torque distribution system;

About iCAR X25:

-This car is positioned as a ONEBOX off-road MPV. Since it is an MPV, it must have a three-row design;

-The length of the car body is about 4.4 meters, the wheelbase is estimated to be more than 2.9 meters, and there is also an exaggerated ground clearance;

-the whole design pursues low wind resistance, which is similar to the ideal MEGA; of mini off-road version;

-Full flat floor design can realize transparent interior space and flexible seat combination;

-The new rear door is designed with opposite doors, which is very interesting;

-The concept car uses a streaming rearview mirror, which may be cancelled in production models.

At the same time, iCAR has made it clear that iCAR will use an extended-range hybrid system, equipped with a range extender with a thermal efficiency of more than 44%, and also released a new car outline. It is reported that this model may be the iCAR 03 Pro version to be released at the Beijing Auto Show, which is the extended-range hybrid model of iCAR 03.

In short, after the upgrade of iCAR brand and team integration, the future iCAR brand will have three product lines: 0, V and X.

Among them, 0 series focuses on exquisite technology and pursues equal rights in science and technology;

V series features off-road style, emphasizing differentiation, high value and super practicality;

X series is committed to becoming a "new species of single-compartment car".

In addition, iCAR plans to launch eight models before 2026, becoming a brand with a youthful lifestyle label.

1.8 new Pentium B70 with displacement will be listed in autumn at a price of 120,000.

2010 Pentium B70 Appearance

  Basic information of vehicles

  Type name: CA7184MT4 and CA7184AT4 cars.

  Brand: Red Flag

  Car type: M1

  Name of vehicle manufacturer: China FAW Group Corporation

  Among the new car application materials to be officially announced, a new product with 1.8-liter displacement and number CA7184 of FAW Group has emerged. This number is the first time to appear. Before that, the 1.8-displacement cars produced by FAW Group had only the Red Flag Celebrities numbered CA7180 and the Red Flag Century Star numbered CA7182. However, these two old models were discontinued several years ago, and CA7184 has nothing to do with them. The 2.0-liter and 2.3-liter Pentium B70 are numbered CA7204 and CA7234 respectively. Obviously, CA7184 corresponds to the new Pentium B70 with 1.8-liter displacement!

1.8 Detailed parameters of Pentium B70 model
1.8 Detailed parameters of Pentium B70 model

  The new Pentium B70 with a displacement of 1.8 provides two main power configurations: 6-speed manual and 5-speed manual. From the detailed information of the model, it can be seen that compared with the planned 2.0-liter displacement 2011 Pentium B70, the components of the two models are almost identical, and the automatic gearbox of the new model is also imported from Aisin Japan. The main difference is only the engine model. The engine model of the new Pentium 1.8 is changed to L8, which belongs to the MZR product series of Mazda with the 2.0-displacement LF engine and the 2.3-displacement L3 engine of the old Pentium B70. Mazda MZR all-aluminum engine was put into use for the first time in 2001. At present, it is still the main model of Mazda’s small and medium-displacement vehicles, and it is expected to start upgrading next year. This engine adopts Mazda’s unique S-VT variable timing valve technology, and cooperates with VIS variable intake manifold to deeply optimize the intake system. Its main advantages are light weight, stable performance and outstanding fuel consumption.

2010 Pentium B70 Appearance

  In the past, L8 engines were mainly equipped with European versions of mazda 5, mazda 6, Mazda MX-5 and other low-end models, which were never sold in China. However, because of the long-term cooperation with Ford, Ford also produces and sells this engine under the number DHE-418. For example, the prototype L8 is equipped with the S-VT version, which is the 1.8-liter displacement that domestic consumers are familiar with, and the DuratecHE engine of Ford Focus.

  The performance index of L8 engine is average, and it is gradually marginalized. Even on the European Mazda MX-5 with engine adjustment and outstanding motion characteristics, there is still a certain gap with the LF engine with 2.0 displacement. Compared with the previous generation 1.8-displacement FP engine that has already been eliminated, there is no obvious advantage. Although the weight of the L8 engine is slightly reduced, the performance of the Pentium B70, which weighs more than 1.4 tons, is not strong, but only enough.

1.8 Pentium engine comparison
1.8 Pentium engine comparison

  FAW Group launched 1.8-displacement Pentium B70, and its market strategy is very targeted. The latest government procurement requirements clearly point out that starting this year, the displacement, price and standard of official vehicles will be greatly reduced. For general official vehicles equipped by cadres at or below the bureau level, the original standard displacement is below 2.0 liters and the price is within 250,000 yuan. Now the standard is reduced to not more than 1.8 liters and the price is not more than 160,000 yuan. Moreover, among the newly equipped and updated cars of each unit, the proportion of self-owned brand cars should reach more than 50%.

  At present, only some old models, such as Brilliance Zunchi and Chery Oriental Son, which have been listed for many years, meet the requirements, with outdated appearance, aging models and poor reputation. Roewe 550, Ruiqi G5, Brilliance XinJunjie, Geely EC718 and other new generations, mainly for home use, brand, appearance, interior and internal space, can not fully meet the special requirements of official vehicles. In addition to the Roewe 550, the automatic transmission of other models is an irreparable shortcoming. Ruiqi G6, which has excellent performance, is about to launch a 1.8T five-speed automatic transmission model. Although it meets the displacement requirements, the cost is high, and the estimated price far exceeds 160,000 yuan. Therefore, in this special market segment, the new Pentium B70 has unique advantages, and the only potential rival, B16, the son of Chery’s new Oriental, will not appear for at least one year.

  The 1.8-displacement Pentium B70 will not go on sale with the 2011 Pentium B70 until autumn at the earliest. If the planning is reasonable and the project is progressing smoothly, it may be able to catch the last bus of centralized procurement at the end of the year. Similar to the 2.0-displacement Pentium B70, although the powertrain of the new model has been localized, the core components are still basically produced by imported assembly. In the short term, both the production capacity increase and the vehicle cost are greatly restricted. It is speculated that FAW Group will also adopt the Pentium series of high opening and low going strategies to give priority to meeting the demand for official vehicles, and then launch a series of preferential policies for the retail market after the capacity expansion next year.

  The official guide price of 2010 Pentium B70 with 2.0 displacement is RMB 129,800 ~ RMB 155,800. 1.8 displacement Pentium B70 will adopt two-stage differentiation strategy. The manual gear is low-equipped, and the price is slightly lowered to about 125,800 yuan, while providing more and more preferential margins. The automatic transmission with high model has enhanced configuration, and the price is maintained at about RMB 155,800. Perhaps the top model will be further introduced, and the price will go up, approaching RMB 160,000. Under the existing conditions, it will meet the needs of the main target consumer groups as much as possible.

How strong is the off-road ability of the model warrior 917 in the hard-core SUV?

Editor: Yu Yang

In recent years, the word hard-core SUV has been very hot, and there are more and more square box shapes. What is a hard-core SUV? I think the first thing is hard enough, and the second is wild enough! And what is called "civilian armored vehicle" is hard enough and wild enough.


The appearance is hard enough to be a monster.

Externally, the 917 car uses a lot of tough lines, which are carved like knives, showing a full sense of strength and muscle. The appearance is absolutely comparable to that of armored vehicles. Of course, it is not bulletproof. But this car has the same effect as George Barton, who exploded in the fire a few years ago, and it is much better than it, combining hard-core mechanical aesthetics with modern technology. The LED headlights and prominent taillights of this car are like diamonds embedded in mechanical beasts, which are exquisite and the finishing touch.


Warrior 917 is a giant when driving on the road. Its length, width and height are 4987/2080/1935mm, and its wheelbase is 2950mm, so it locates a large SUV. The front manganese steel forged competitive bumper with large inclined plane and large cutting angle, with a maximum approach angle of 36.8 degrees, is not a problem. The position of the rear wheel of the car is also relatively backward, the rear bumper is raised, and the corner cutting design is also made, and the maximum departure angle is 37.5 degrees. The minimum ground clearance is 221 mm, and at the same time, it supports the chassis lifting in the escape mode. The minimum ground clearance can be further increased to 326 mm, and the departure angle has reached 37.5 degrees. The tire is a 295/60 R20 AT tire with an off-road anti-slip rim.


Thick interior hormones soar.

If you think you have been impressed by the appearance, then the interior may make your hormones soar even more. Boys, who doesn’t have a hobby, and who doesn’t want to decorate their hut more mechanically. The three large screens in the car must be operated routinely. The steering wheel is quite thick, with many control buttons integrated, and the ignition button is surrounded by a circle of lights, which makes people have a special desire to drive. Nowadays, the car is getting simpler and simpler, but the Warrior 917 keeps a large number of physical buttons, and they are all metal covers, which are full of mechanical feeling.


In terms of space, Warrior 917 has only five seats. Needless to say, the space is very rich, and the seats are spacious and comfortable. The heating, ventilation and massage of the front and rear seats are all equipped. The skylight is segmented front and rear, which can meet the different needs of front and rear passengers at the same time. Like many luxury cars, the central armrest is also a screen with a cup holder in front. Below is a flat platform, and charging ports of TYPE-C and USB, which can expand external power supply, put tablets and notebooks in the back row when going out for adventure, and prepare photographic equipment. If you choose to install another drone, I would like to call the back row the operational command room.


Strong power and strong off-road performance

In terms of power, the Warriors 917 has two kinds of power: pure electric version and extended range version. Among them, the extended range version is equipped with a 1.5T high-efficiency range extender, which provides power for three motors after generating electricity. The maximum power of the three motors is 600 kW, and the maximum torque is 1050 Nm, which is more than enough to drive this car. You even think that the driving of this car in the city is very light. And although it is very big, in fact, its operation in the city is very flexible, because the whole system comes standard with rear wheel follow-up steering, and the turning angle can reach 10.6 degrees, so its minimum turning radius is only 5.1 meters. The extended range version of Warrior 917 is equipped with a 65.8 kWh battery and an 84-liter fuel tank. The CLTC has a pure electric cruising range of 200 kilometers and a comprehensive cruising range of 1,026 kilometers. Moreover, you can also choose to install an external fuel tank and run through it with full oil and electricity, which is very easy.


In terms of off-road, Warriors 917 is developed by MORA, the first off-road platform in China. It is non-body and has many cutting-edge technologies such as line control and domain control. With the super off-road function of M ATS, with three locks in the front, middle and rear, it has a variety of off-road auxiliary configurations such as crab mode and creep mode, and the intelligent electronic control system can also assist decision-making, with the maximum water intake depth of 900 mm. But also with infrared detection function, which can enhance the driver’s vision and assist the vehicle to move forward in poor light or bad weather. With this configuration, it’s not too much to arm your teeth, is it?


Che Degang concluded:

Warrior 917 is a car with military origin, which should be known to friends who know Dongfeng Warrior. However, Warrior 917 is a product of modern technology, so it is closer to daily life in terms of energy, configuration and design. As for the off-road properties, the original factory has been configured to be full, and it also supports equipment expansion. With it, if you want to play cross-country, will you still consider importing cars? ???

How about KIA ev5?

For consumers who are pursuing high-quality pure electric vehicles, KIA EV5 is undoubtedly a worthy choice. With its safe, reliable and excellent driving experience, this model demonstrates Kia’s strength and commitment in the field of electric vehicles.

First of all, safety is the core competitiveness of KIA EV5, which has passed the collision test in four places around the world, ensuring the all-round protection of passengers. The standard seven airbags and a series of driver assistance functions make driving more secure. BYD’s blade battery and Kia’s self-developed heat pump management system are adopted to ensure the stability and durability of the battery in various environments, so that car owners have no worries about battery safety.

In terms of battery life, KIA EV5 provides CLTC standard battery life of more than 500 kilometers, the longest of which can reach more than 700 kilometers, and the charging speed is fast. It only takes 27 minutes to charge from 30% to 80%, which provides convenience for daily travel.

In terms of driving experience, KIA EV5 benefits from the special platform for E-GMP electric vehicles, which brings good chassis adjustment and handling. Whether it is a flat road or a complex road condition, it can provide a comfortable and stable driving experience. Unique kinetic energy recovery system provides additional driving convenience through manual control.

The interior space is spacious, and there are not only folding tables in the back row, but also charging ports and air outlets to meet the various needs of passengers. In the trunk design, the double-layer bracket and external discharge function make the vehicle have excellent storage and versatility.

In terms of design, KIA EV5 adopts a "digital tiger face" front face, tough lines and highly recognizable taillights, showing a fashionable and dynamic shape. The interior layout is novel, especially the design of the front central armrest, which provides flexible use space for drivers.

起亚EV5

However, although KIA EV5 shows many bright spots, the competition in the market is still fierce. Facing the challenge of plug-in hybrid vehicles, Kia needs to make corresponding adjustments in pricing and marketing strategy. However, with its international brand reputation and product strength, KIA EV5 is undoubtedly competitive enough to provide consumers with reliable and easy-to-use pure electricity options.

  Gree Electric’s financial report shows that last year, the company achieved a total operating revenue of 205.018 billion yuan, an operating income of 203.979 billion yuan, and the revenue scale returned to more than 200 billion yuan; The net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 29.017 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 18.41%; Realized a non-net profit of 27.565 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 14.92%; The net cash flow from operating activities was 56.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 96.73%.

  If we compare the Big Three of White Power horizontally, Gree Electric’s revenue growth rate in 2023 is better than () (600690.SH, stock price of 30.26 yuan, market value of 285.597 billion yuan), but slightly worse than () (000333.SZ, stock price of 6.978 yuan, market value of 486.675 billion yuan), and its net profit growth rate ranks first.

  According to the "Annual Report of China Household Appliances Industry in 2023" issued by the National Household Appliances Industry Information Center, the export of household appliances industry has increased significantly, with an export scale of 617.4 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.9%; The domestic market grew steadily, with a sales scale of 773.6 billion yuan, up 1.7% year-on-year. The air-conditioning industry has also recovered significantly. According to industry online data, in 2023, 169 million household air conditioners were produced, up 11.1% year-on-year; Sales of 170 million units increased by 11.2% year-on-year, of which domestic sales increased by 13.8% year-on-year, export sales increased by 7.8%, and domestic and export sales were booming.

  Therefore, the income growth of air-conditioning faucet was generally good last year. In 2023, Gree Electric’s air-conditioning business revenue was 151.217 billion yuan, up 12.13% year-on-year, and the proportion of air-conditioning revenue in Gree Electric’s current revenue increased to 74.14%. The annual report also shows that the gross profit margin of Gree Air Conditioning increased by 4.6 percentage points year-on-year. Horizontal comparison, this gross profit margin increase is also relatively significant.

  However, Gree’s household appliances business achieved a revenue of 4.002 billion yuan last year, a year-on-year decrease of 12.39%, and the proportion of household appliances revenue fell to 1.96%. National business daily reporter learned that Gree’s household appliances business mainly includes kitchen appliances, environmental appliances and ice washing products. The company did not explain too much in the annual report the reasons for the decline in household appliances revenue.

  Last year, the domestic sales and export revenue of Gree’s main business increased by 15.22% and 7.02% respectively, and the growth of domestic sales was higher than that of export. Gree Electric said that last year, the company strengthened the overseas social media matrix in overseas channels and broadened the layout of overseas e-commerce. Last year, Gree Electric’s overseas business revenue was 24.904 billion yuan, and its own brands accounted for nearly 70%.

  Most diversified businesses grew year on year.

  In addition to the home appliance business, the revenue of industrial products in Gree Electric exceeded 10 billion yuan last year, a year-on-year increase of 31.63%; Intelligent equipment revenue was about 700 million yuan, up 55.03% year-on-year; Green energy revenue was 7.106 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 51.16%; Other main income was 1.568 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 55.84%.

  It can be said that in addition to the household appliances business, other diversified tracks cultivated by Gree achieved good revenue growth last year. But even the largest industrial products sector accounted for less than 5% of revenue last year. It is reported that Gree’s industrial products include compressors, motors, refrigeration accessories and precision molds.

  In addition, in 2023, Gree Electric’s revenue from "other businesses" was 29.414 billion yuan, down 17.89% year-on-year, accounting for 14.42% of the company’s revenue. The reporter of national business daily learned that Gree Electric revealed at the annual performance briefing in 2019 that other business income was mainly to ensure the quality of bulk raw materials, effectively control costs and manufacture high-quality products. The company made full use of supply chain resources and exerted its scale advantage to centrally purchase and allocate bulk raw materials, including steel plates, plastic raw materials, copper materials and foams, and also included some waste sales.

  As for the channel reform that public investors have been paying attention to, Gree Electric said that last year, digital stores were vigorously promoted in China, and sinking sales channels were continuously developed. At the same time, the sales performance of household appliances such as JD.COM and Tmall Premium increased year-on-year.

  In 2023, Gree Electric plans to pay dividends to all shareholders, totaling 13.14 billion yuan, which is higher than that in 2022. In 2022, Gree Electric received two dividends: 1 yuan in the interim, 1 yuan in the annual and 2 yuan in the cumulative annual.

  According to the financial report, in 2023, due to the ownership of shares in the employee stock ownership plan, Dong Mingzhu’s shares in Gree Electric increased by 10 million shares, and the number of shares held by the end of 2023 was 54.488 million shares.

  At the same time, Gree Electric also released the first quarterly report in 2024. Financial data show that in the first quarter of this year, Gree Electric achieved operating income of 36.364 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.56%; The net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 4.675 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 13.77%.

Foxconn’s 3,456 employees asked for "dismissal" as compensation.

All along, Foxconn Technology Group, which has more than one million employees, has been called the "OEM aircraft carrier" by the outside world. The increasing number of employees and revenue has once made the outside world unable to see the "ceiling" of this giant.

However, a recent "shutdown" storm and the "diversion" storm of employees under negotiation have made the deep contradiction between labor and capital within Foxconn more and more prominent; What’s even more worrying is that since Foxconn’s series of "falling buildings" cases occurred in June 2010, the adjustment of Foxconn’s human resources policy is making this OEM aircraft carrier encounter an unprecedented "system crisis".

In mid-2010, Guo Taiming, president of Foxconn, proposed to double the salary of employees. In the past three years, the basic salary of employees has almost achieved this goal, but the problem is that ordinary employees’ previous invisible benefits such as food and shelter have also been calculated into their wages; In addition, many newly promulgated human resources policies are invalidating Foxconn’s management incentive policies, which in turn leads to the loss of excellent managers and skilled production line workers, and the "manufacturing level" of OEM aircraft carriers is frequently hidden.

Employee centrifugation

Although the basic salary rises again and again, the monthly income of Foxconn Shenzhen general workers has basically not changed. The "salary increase" that seems extremely encouraging outside is "hidden" inside Foxconn.

Recently, about 200 day-shift employees took part in the "shutdown" in Foxconn Shenzhen Longhua Science and Technology Park. These employees walked from the 3rd floor of Building D4 in the working area of CCPBG (hereinafter referred to as "CP" in Foxconn) to the trade union headquarters, shouting slogans and demanding a pay increase.

"Wage increase" is the unanimous demand of "shutdown" employees. An employee involved revealed that Foxconn gave a 20% salary increase to the technical staff in a certain department of the factory, while the salaries of the staff in the surrounding departments and production departments were not adjusted at all, which directly triggered the incident.

CP is mainly responsible for the production of game consoles within Foxconn, and products such as Microsoft Xbox come from this business group. In recent years, because of the "great pressure" of cost control, the wages of employees in this business group are not high, and problems such as illegal employment of child labor have been exposed by the media.

In addition to the "salary increase" storm, CP employees’ year-end performance awards in 2012 were only distributed in half in mid-2013, which failed to fulfill the promises at that time and aggravated employees’ dissatisfaction with the company.

At the same time, in the face of weak global economic demand, CP’s control over employees’ overtime hours has led to a decrease in employees’ income, which has also become a deep incentive.

Before November 2010, the average monthly basic salary of an ordinary production line worker in Shenzhen Foxconn Longhua Science and Technology Park (hereinafter referred to as "general worker") was 1,200 yuan, and he worked overtime for 80-90 hours every month, earning nearly 3,000 yuan.

In order to alleviate the contradiction between labor and capital in Foxconn, Guo Taiming, chairman and president of Foxconn Group, drastically raised the average monthly basic salary of general workers in Shenzhen to 2,000 yuan, but the average monthly overtime hours dropped to 60 hours, and the employees’ income remained basically unchanged. In 2012, the monthly basic salary of Foxconn Shenzhen general workers was adjusted to 2100 yuan again, but the average monthly overtime hours dropped to about 48 hours again.

That is to say, although the basic salary rises again and again, the monthly income of Foxconn Shenzhen general workers has basically not changed, and the "salary increase" that seems extremely encouraging outside has been "concealed" inside Foxconn. Because of the "falling" incident of a series of employees in the first half of that year, Dai Zhengwu, the "second person" of Foxconn Technology Group, was appointed as the chief human resource officer of the group. The first new human resources policy is that employees used to pay about 240 yuan every month and manage about 110 yuan every month, which was also formally included in employees’ monthly salary as part of their salary.

Such a human resource policy directly led to the decrease of Foxconn general workers’ loyalty to the company. The "diversion" of employees of Qunkang Technology, which is still under negotiation, is directly proved by the fact that many employees demand to be dismissed by the company instead of "leaving themselves".

The so-called "diversion" refers to Foxconn’s internal adjustment of surplus manpower to the production lines of business groups with strong demand for orders and insufficient manpower according to the different order abundance levels of production lines of various business groups, so as to effectively improve management efficiency. "Self-separation" means that Foxconn employees are dissatisfied with the company’s treatment or policies and take the initiative to leave, and Foxconn does not have to pay liquidated damages.

According to the data, Qunkang Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. was established in 2004, which belongs to Foxconn’s Innolux Optoelectronic Business Group. Innolux specializes in the production of various panels.

From May to early June 2013, the Shenzhen factory of Qunkang Technology was completely shut down. According to Foxconn insiders who did not want to be named, at least 3,000 to 4,000 people were affected by the "diversion". Foxconn spokesman Liu Kun responded that the incident is currently being resolved: "There are 736 employees of Qunkang Technology who have been diverted to other business groups; Among them, 4 people returned to work in Henan factory, and 190 people went to Ningbo voluntarily. There are still 3,456 people to be diverted in the factory. "

It is these 3,456 employees who are to be "diverted" who have taken the initiative to ask Foxconn for "dismissal".

The so-called "requirement of being dismissed" means that these ordinary workers are unwilling to "leave themselves", but hope that Foxconn will take the initiative to lay off employees and get compensation from Foxconn.

"Qunkang Technology is a very special business group." The above-mentioned person who didn’t want to be named told the reporter of China Business News, "The employees of this business group have a good stability, and generally have a long service life. 75% of the employees have a service life of 3 to 5 years, and some even have a service life of 15 years. Under such circumstances, if Foxconn voluntarily terminates the contract, it will have to provide employees with n+1 months of resignation compensation. This is obviously not a small number. "

Because it has long been aware of this problem, the company started the human resources communication meeting early before the diversion. As of August 1, these communication meetings reached more than 60 games.

Foxconn promised that it is the bottom line for the company not to lay off employees. Parks such as Shenzhen and Henan have entered the peak season of orders, and employees who are willing to move to Foxconn’s Shenzhen Outer Park, regardless of management or general workers, have different amounts of resettlement fees; And Foxconn encourages employees to return home and go to Foxconn Henan, Nanning, Sichuan, Wuhan and other parks for employment; Employees who are willing to stay in other business groups in Shenzhen Park are treated as "high or low" …

Deep problem

The emergence of the salary problem is not only related to Foxconn’s "meager profit" era in the foundry industry, but also related to the adjustment of Foxconn’s human resources policy in the second half of 2010.

"This shows that Foxconn has indeed had deep-seated problems." The above-mentioned insiders said that Foxconn employees have lost hope for the future, both mentally and materially, and lack the driving force to continue to develop together with the company, especially the management employees.

In the eyes of the above-mentioned people, the diversion communication meeting of Qunkang Technology is well prepared, but there are two reasons behind the requirement that employees are still willing to be "voluntarily resigned": First, they hope to get compensation and find another job. As mature small panel production line workers, it is not difficult for these employees of Qunkang Technology to find a better job; The other is Foxconn’s increasingly uncompetitive salary system.

The emergence of the salary problem is not only related to Foxconn’s "meager profit" era in the foundry industry, but also related to the adjustment of Foxconn’s human resources policy in the second half of 2010.

As mentioned above, after Dai Zhengwu became the chief human resources officer of Foxconn for the second time, he implemented a series of "new policies" on human resources in Foxconn Group, which had a profound impact on Foxconn’s development.

For example, the first move of Dai’s human resources reform was to cancel the annual "general adjustment". The so-called general adjustment means that within Foxconn, employees are systematically guaranteed to be promoted every year compared with the previous year. Obviously, in the expanding period of increasing business, this is not only conducive to the stability of employees, but also allows employees to share the fruits of the company’s growth moderately, thus ensuring the efficiency and quality of production line work.

Of course, the general tune is not a "big pot" in the full sense. Employees with excellent performance may get a salary increase of 10%, and those with poor performance may only get a salary increase of 0.5%, but on the whole, the average annual increase of about 4% ~ 6% ensures the steady expansion of Foxconn’s employee scale and business.

However, after the cancellation of the "general adjustment", even the most symbolic 0.5% is gone, and many Foxconn general workers no longer pay attention to the continuous working hours at Foxconn.

Another cost saved by Foxconn is the cancellation of management allowance. As a management cadre, the lack of material incentives is the direct result of Foxconn’s decline in production line management, including the "rework" of 5 million to 8 million iPhone in early March.

Similarly, the expenses of general workers’ original food and shelter have also been added to the new basic salary of employees in disguise. "It is said that 800 yuan will rise, but in fact, after deducting the cost of food and accommodation, it will rise by more than 400 yuan. This is not a pure salary increase, which is opposed by internal management and criticized by the outside world." The above-mentioned insiders said.

In addition, in Foxconn’s new human resources policy, the widening of the "wage set distance" has also caused the strange phenomenon of "promotion and salary retention" to appear frequently.

The so-called "salary range" refers to the salary range of Foxconn employees at the same level. Because before Dai took office, the management supervisor enjoyed the management allowance, so the salary set distance between different levels was not large. In April 2011, Dai re-established the first salary range without management allowance, and the span was greatly widened. Take the fifth division (head of a class) as an example. Before the implementation of the New Deal, the salary range of employees at this level was 5,800 ~ 10,700 yuan per month, of which the average monthly salary of core technicians was 7,000 ~ 8,000 yuan, and the average monthly salary of ordinary cadres was about 6,000 yuan. Correspondingly, the minimum salary of the ninth division (assistant) was only 10,400 yuan/month.

This means that an employee may be promoted from the fifth grade to the ninth grade, as long as the salary is above the lower limit of the ninth grade, there will be no salary increase. Sadly, it takes at least 8 years for Foxconn to go from division 5 to division 9. "The insider said.

It is exactly the same as the design idea of the above-mentioned human resources reform. In order to prevent "middle-ranking cadres" (commonly known as mainland cadres within Foxconn) from being promoted too quickly, after the implementation of the new human resources policy, the original posts at the same level were set to two levels, and all the posts of "senior" were added.

For example, the "manager" level cadres are high-level positions within Foxconn, from specialized manager, assistant manager, assistant manager to vice president, which is the old setting; However, after the reform, the special manager, assistant manager and assistant manager have become special managers and senior special managers, assistant managers and senior assistant managers, assistant managers and senior assistant managers respectively. In this way, it may only take nine years for the middle-level cadres to be promoted from specialized managers to associate managers, but now it needs to be doubled at most.

As of press time, our reporter has not yet received an official response from Foxconn on the above issues.

Does the small car choose Wuling Bingo or BYD Seagull? You can know by comprehensive comparison.

In the field of small cars, there are two more competitive models, namely BYD, and other models really pose no threat to these two cars. Nowadays, both Wuling Bingo and BYD Seagull have ushered in updates. Wuling Bingo has launched 2024 models, and BYD Seagull has also launched new models. After reading the prices, I feel that the cost-performance gap between them is even greater.

First of all, the price range of 2024 Wuling Binguo is 56,800-84,800 yuan; The price range of the new BYD Seagull is 698-85800 yuan. From the price point of view, Wuling Bingo is still more cost-effective, and its access cost is lower, which can bring a better experience. Moreover, the 2024 Wuling Bingo still has store discounts, so the terminal price difference between the two is still very large. Today, we will make a comprehensive comparison between these two models to see who is more worthy of starting.

Who looks better in the face value competition?

Although different people have different opinions on the appearance, for small cars, consumers still pay more attention to the external performance. In our cognition, small cars are generally petite and lovely, and obviously both of them have this trait. However, in terms of details, I feel that the 2024 Wuling Bingo is more interesting. Its retro front face with fashionable headlights shows a soft and delicate side, and the outline of the whole car is more rounded, which belongs to the type suitable for all ages and has a wider audience.

Wuling Binguo also added an empty mirror green interior after the update, and its body adopts double color matching, which makes it more fashionable and the factory color belongs to high match. In terms of interior, the 2024 Wuling Bingo adopts a very friendly style, and the center console is round, which makes people feel comfortable when they sit in it.

BYD’s seagull appearance is petite and lovely, but it is flamboyant and has an unstable effect. Relatively speaking, most consumers may prefer the appearance of Wuling Binguo because it is more approachable. Moreover, BYD Seagull adopts a monochrome appearance, which is not as fashionable as Bingo. BYD Seagull’s interior is rough, giving people an impression of disorganization. In terms of visual effect, I feel that it is not as good as 2024 Bingo.

Space competition, Wuling Binguo to establish a leading edge?

Let’s look at the spatial performance of the two. First, look at the size. The length, width and height of the 2024 Wuling Binguo are 3950/1708/1580mm and the wheelbase is 2560mm; respectively. The length, width and height of BYD Seagull are 3780/1715/1540mm and the wheelbase is 2500mm respectively. The size of the 2024 Wuling Binguo is one level larger than that of Seagull.

Of course, feedback to the space, the second row of the 2024 Wuling Bingo is more spacious and has a larger trunk. With the second row of seats down, the trunk space of the 2024 Wuling Bingo can be expanded to 1240L at the maximum, while the trunk space of BYD Seagull can be expanded to 930L at the maximum with the second row of seats down. Compared with Bingo, Seagull still has a big gap. Therefore, in the process of daily use, the 2024 Wuling Bingo is more practical, and you can pull more things when you move, you can pack more things in your daily shopping, and you can bring more when you go back to your hometown in the New Year.

Who is richer in configuration comparison?

In terms of configuration, both of them show a good standard. We compare the 2024 Wuling Binguo Lingxi Interconnect 333km with BYD Seagull Free Edition. In terms of price, the price of the 2024 Wuling Binguo Lingxi Interconnect 333km is 74,800 yuan; The price of 25 free versions of Seagull is 75,800 yuan; However, there are still many discounts for the 2024 Wuling Bingo, and it is said that the 2024 Bingo only needs more than 60,000 yuan after the discount, so its cost performance is much higher than the original one.

In terms of battery life, the cruising range of 2024 Wuling Bingo is 333km, while the cruising range of Seagull Free Edition is 305km. The gap between them is really great. Wuling Bingo can run farther, and it has more advantages in daily use, which can reduce the number of charging.

In addition, the basic configurations of the two are very rich, both equipped with advanced voice assistants, as well as external rearview mirror heating, one-button start, keyless entry and other configurations. However, in terms of mobile APP control, the 2024 Wuling Bingo can control more functions, so it can provide more convenience when using the car, because the 2024 Wuling Bingo can unlock more convenient functions.

The 2024 Wuling Binguo can be charged through the mobile phone. For example, if you want to charge at night when the electricity price is low, you can charge at night just by setting it on the mobile phone, which is more cost-saving. In addition, if you want to open the car door with your mobile phone, it can be realized, so that when the courier is delivered home, if you are not at home or don’t want to go downstairs, you can open the car door and let the courier put things in the car. Therefore, Wuling Binguo performs better in intelligence.

In addition, BYD Seagull has only one wiper, while the 2024 Wuling Bingo has two wipers. Obviously, Bingo’s vision and line of sight are better in rainy road conditions.

Concluding remarks

From the overall comparison, the performance of the 2024 Wuling Bingo is better. Wuling has brought into full play the concept of "what people need, Wuling will build". No wonder its models are very competitive. Wuling Bingo can give more things than seagulls, even so, its price is lower, so it is clear who is more worthy of starting. I will definitely choose the 2024 Wuling Bingo.

DJI has developed a brand-new intelligent driving, fully loaded! Super cheap!

Speaking of DJI, some Chinese people should be familiar with it. The UAV of this enterprise has done quite well, and it can be called the absolute best in the world. Do you think DJI only studies drones? Obviously not. In fact, since 2022, DJI has entered the field of intelligent driving, and has achieved good results.

In mid-March this year, the senior management of DJI said that it only needs 7,000 yuan to realize the intelligent driving system with L2 level and above, and it can really lead a city without a map. Of course, it is a piece of cake to lead a high-speed city. This set is brand new.You can remember 10 routes, each of which is less than 100 kilometers. You can use high-speed intelligent navigation when you deliver it, as well as intelligent parking and AEB. You can also change lanes independently and read traffic light information!

When it comes to intelligent driving system, we have studied Tesla FSD, Xpeng Motors and advanced intelligent driving system. Most electric vehicles, especially low-end electric vehicles, often adopt the combination of active braking and lane departure warning. Strictly speaking, this is absolutely entry-level, and there is not much computing power, and the degree of intelligence is not high.

This time, DJI directly put the L2+ intelligent driving system on a new car with a price of 100,000 yuan. For example, the newly-launched intelligent driving system is equipped with this brand-new intelligent driving system, and the price of the high-equipped model is only 103,800 yuan. It is no exaggeration to say that DJI has achieved the real "cabbage price" level of this driving scheme. Some time ago, Yu Chengdong said that it is unlikely that electric vehicles within 300,000 yuan will be equipped with Huawei’s advanced intelligent driving, because it will lose money. Unexpectedly, DJI has made a completely different design.

Unlike other competitors who tend to use the highest-cost hardware, DJI’s brand-new intelligent driving system relies on more advanced algorithm technology, which is based on early prediction, large perception model and binocular/omnidirectional fisheye camera for joint decision-making, making the cost lower, the safety higher and the intelligent driving level more reliable. This is definitely a great innovation!

More crucially, according to the official of DJI this year, this mainstream intelligent driving system doesn’t require high chips, and users can complete the optimal adaptation without buying the most popular intelligent driving chips, which also greatly reduces the cost for car companies to choose this intelligent driving system. That’s why we saw that the 100,000-yuan Baojunyue Plus is also equipped with a high-end version of intelligent driving system.

Of course, limited by the cost, the use experience of this intelligent driving system is definitely not as good as that of the previous system, but for consumers at this price, it should exceed their expectations, and the level of intelligent driving is really good. Next, wait for this Baojun Yueye Plus to test drive the car license, and let’s have a detailed experience.

There is no doubt that Huawei has created high-end smart driving, while DJI has brought low-cost smart driving solutions into the homes of ordinary people. BYD even said some time ago that more than 120,000 BYD cars will be equipped with lidar by the middle of this year, as long as the cost is 700 yuan. China auto market is really getting more and more interesting! I think companies like DJI and BYD really have the potential to realize intelligent driving for all employees in China! Let the future land!

Clear the roadblocks of data circulation (big data helps national governance ④)

  In recent years, big data has penetrated into all aspects of people’s lives with rapid development. Big data is a new stage of information development. With the convergence and integration of information technology and human production and life, the Internet is rapidly spreading, and global data is characterized by explosive growth and massive aggregation, which has had a major impact on economic development, social governance and people’s lives.

  The emergence and application of big data provide a new means for national governance, but how to make big data better applied to national governance is a question worth thinking about.

  Big data applications are in the early stage of development and need to constantly adapt to new situations.

  "What is the development of your local big data?" "Big data? We have a lot! It’s developing well! You see, we already have so many servers! "

  This conversation took place between Wang Sanshou, CEO of Guiyang Big Data Exchange, and a local government worker. Wang Sanshou believes that from such a simple conversation, it can be seen that the staff of some local governments are still not deeply aware of big data.

  During the "Digital Expo" in 2017, the Blue Book of Big Data: China’s Big Data Development Report No.1, which was compiled by the Key Laboratory of Big Data Strategy and published by Social Science Literature Publishing House, was released. The report included the scores and rankings of the "Big Data Development Index" of 31 provinces and cities. The "Big Data Development Index" focused on three evaluation dimensions of big data: political use, business use and civil use, and carried out the status quo and potential of big data development in various provinces and cities across the country. The evaluation results show that the development of big data in different provinces and cities is uneven.

  Wang Sanshou believes: "The understanding of’ big data’ is inconsistent among local governments. There is a lack of clear top-level design in the development of big data in some places, and there are similarities in development plans, which are not fully integrated with local reality." In addition, according to the "Analysis Report on Big Data Development Planning of Local Governments in China" issued by the Data Center Alliance, due to the lack of a unified big data industry classification statistical system and industrial operation monitoring means, local governments cannot make overall arrangements according to market demand, resulting in similar industrial positioning and intensified homogenization competition.

  "From a global perspective, the application of big data is still in its infancy." Mei Hong, vice president of Beijing Institute of Technology and academician of China Academy of Sciences, believes that big data itself is in the early stage of development, and it still needs further optimization in the application of national governance.

  The data flow of individual departments is not smooth, and information islands hinder data application.

  In Bazhong City, Sichuan Province, the local court awarded a house judgment to Mr. Tang, a citizen. When Mr. Tang went to the Housing Authority to apply for the property right certificate with the effective judgment of the court, the Housing Authority could not find the relevant ownership information in the real estate registration center of the city. As for why the real estate registration center did not update the relevant information, the Housing Authority has never received a positive reply.

  In this regard, the staff of Bazhong Housing Management Bureau is also very helpless. "What blocked the information flow between departments? Nothing else, that is, the authority of each department is isolated. " The staff member said, "The Housing Authority and the Real Estate Registration Center are just like brothers, right? It is difficult for departments with such close relationships to obtain information, let alone the’ distant relatives’ department. " In this staff member’s view, some unnecessary authority isolation, like an invisible wall, hinders the flow of government information.

  Blocking information may make it difficult for people to handle affairs. Liu Lu, a doctoral supervisor at the School of Economics, Southwestern University of Finance and Economics, believes that "the openness of government affairs should not only point to the public, but also include the situation in which various departments disclose information to each other according to procedures for government affairs. Service-oriented government,’ service’ is not only aimed at the masses. For the sake of efficient and orderly administration, all departments within the government should also coordinate with each other to improve the efficiency of government services. "

  Poor information will also bring regulatory uncertainty. Last year, the average increase of medical expenses in public hospitals in a western province was too high, so they had to issue urgent documents on medical expenses control. When talking about why the plan was not found early, the relevant staff of the health management department of the province said, "It is very difficult to control the false expenses of various hospitals. We can’t grasp the information of hospital prescriptions in real time, and the lag of information feedback leads to the management department losing the opportunity of early prevention."

  How to make data "run more", we must first make the road between data smooth. According to industry insiders, "Big data helps national governance, which is inseparable from the coordination and business integration of various departments. In practice, the problem of information islands needs to be further solved. "

  Big data should be connected to high-frequency application scenarios of public services, so that people can enjoy convenience.

  "In fact, I twisted my foot and went to the hospital for treatment and spent thousands of dollars back and forth. The money was mainly spent on various inspections." Mr. Guo, who had just been discharged from the hospital a few days ago, confided to the reporter, "I understand that the hospital is also good for me. Tests such as blood drawing are to prevent adverse reactions from using the wrong medicine. But is it possible for everyone to have a medical database to avoid some repeated and repeated inspections? "

  "Big data helps the modernization of national governance capacity, which requires not only technology, but also timely changes in the way of thinking." A staff member of the Beijing Economic and Information Committee mentioned that in the face of big data applications in government services, government workers need to take the initiative to learn and actively seek change.

  "Beijing Connect" is a mobile portal for government services built by Beijing, which brings together government services, public services and convenience services in the city. The goal is to let citizens enjoy all services with one mobile phone application. At present, "Beijing Connect" has technically realized the function of extracting data from different departments through interfaces, and initially realized "data runs more errands and people run less", striving to make people do things as convenient as "online shopping".

  The reporter learned from the Beijing Economic and Information Committee that as a mobile portal and smart city platform in Beijing, "Beijing Connect" has realized the intensive construction of urban software infrastructure such as real-name authentication, electronic license and virtual card, and has the ability to open up information islands and support the interconnection of data services of governments and commissions at all levels in urban areas.

  However, the rapid popularization and development of big data and its applications have also brought more challenges to government workers. "The existing laws and regulations don’t clearly define which data can be opened and which can’t be opened, which also leads some departments to dare and don’t know which data to share and worry about touching the red line. In addition, in order to make better use of big data, professionals are also needed, and at the same time, the data literacy of cadres is improved. " The staff of the Beijing Economic and Information Committee said, "Next, we will continue to access the functions of some high-frequency application scenarios, and strive to let’ Beijing Connect’ provide more online services so that people can truly enjoy the convenience of smart cities."

  "We are generating a lot of data every day, and these massive data can only play a role in applications." Wang Sanshou said, "Simple data stacking will not only waste hardware resources such as servers, but also be detrimental to data mining and further use. Data sharing should be the integration of the business of relevant government departments, and data should be run to be better used. "
