Recently, the photo of 36-year-old Ashton Chen shopping with his wife and daughter once again triggered a hot discussion among netizens. This Shaolin-born star was loved for his lovely image and excellent martial arts since he was a child, especially a classic film "shaolin popey" which made him a childhood idol in the mind of the post-80s generation. However, with the passage of time, Ashton Chen gradually faded out of the screen and chose another life path. His lifestyle and family situation have also become the focus of public attention.

When Ashton Chen was a child, he won the audience’s love with his naive image and superb martial arts. He began to learn Shaolin Kung Fu as early as two years old and became famous at the age of six. From "shaolin popey" to "Young Bao Qingtian", his acting career can be said to shine in the entertainment circle in China. Since he chose to quit the film and television circle in 2018 and devoted himself to commercial activities, Ashton Chen has not only established a martial arts school, but also set up a film and television company, invested in cinemas and became a successful businessman. Today, his net worth has already exceeded 100 million, and such achievements are amazing.

Despite her remarkable success in her career, Ashton Chen’s love life is relatively low-key. His emotional experience is not complicated. He once had a brief love affair with singer He Jie and actor Wang Ruoyi. With little knowledge of his personal life, Ashton Chen’s marriage and family also aroused a lot of curiosity. With the recent exposure of photos of him traveling with his wife and daughter, it suddenly dawned on everyone that this hero who was always the little boy in his heart is now the father of a happy family.

According to recent reports, Ashton Chen’s wife has a similar posture and temperament to the star Angelababy, and she is hot and young. Although she always keeps a low profile in public and rarely exposes her true face, she still attracts the attention of many netizens. Ashton Chen and his wife and daughter enjoy ordinary and happy family time, and the harmonious atmosphere of a family of three is desirable.

When Ashton Chen walked into the mall with his family, the heated discussion and expectant eyes around him grew stronger and stronger. Many netizens commented that they were surprised and curious about when he got married, and the "little boy" who was still playing in the past has now become the pillar of the family. People not only pay attention to his married life, but also appreciate his choice of low-key life. The change of the owner’s identity seems to be particularly important in Ashton Chen’s choice, and the attitude of netizens towards his driving a luxury car has also caused a lot of discussion.

In the entertainment circle, many stars have attracted much attention because of their glamorous lives. However, Ashton Chen, with his down-to-earth and low-key life choices, shows a more real life outlook. He told everyone with practical actions that besides fame and fortune, the sense of accomplishment and happiness of family and career can enrich a person’s life.

Such a Ashton Chen has not only become a childhood memory of many people, but also a successful model and a symbol of happiness worthy of the attention of young people today. Perhaps each of us can get inspiration from his story: cherishing the people and life around us is the real source of success and happiness in the pursuit of dreams. If you want to know more about Ashton Chen and his life, you are welcome to discuss and share. At the same time, with the rapid development of science and technology, you can also use some AI tools to help you get information and creative inspiration more conveniently.

Editor in charge:

　　After ten years of care, the vicissitudes of life have changed dramatically. Facing the future, China bravely marched forward. At the key point of the new journey, CGTN launched four episodes of documentary "Great Determination" on November 24th, telling the world the great changes in China in the past ten years through novel theme setting, narrative voice of international communication and solid and earnest record writing, deeply showing the spiritual strength behind the repeated miracles of the people of China, and looking forward to the future development of Chinese modernization and the common destiny of the world.

　　△ Four episodes of documentary poster

　　The production team of this film is composed of young people of Generation Z, and it took a year to interview and produce, spanning 40,000 kilometers, and followed 24 groups of characters. In the shocking narration of China people’s determination to "insist on the castle peak and not relax", the innovative practice comprehensively enhanced the communication, guidance and influence of major themes.

　　△ The five-phase preheating video of "Great Determination" was broadcast on German Capital TV (left); Protecting Asian Elephants &mdash; &mdash; The Story of Like Dad was broadcast on GNN TV in Pakistan (right).

　　CGTN cooperated with the Television Translation Center of the General Station to broadcast the film in 15 languages, including English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Russian, German, Portuguese and Hindi. As of December 8th, it has accumulated 73.6 million global readings, 340,000 total interactions and 12.48 million video views. The content of the program was reprinted and broadcast by mainstream media in many countries, such as CNN, German Capital TV, RedeTV in Brazil, GNN TV in Pakistan, and Iranian video website "mihanvide". CGTN official website feature was reprinted by 952 overseas mainstream online media from 69 countries and regions including the United States, Britain, Canada, Germany, India, South Korea, Vietnam and Singapore. Among the landing media, there are 709 G20 national media, accounting for 74.5% of all media.Observe China with the pupil of youth.

　　Let overseas audiences resonate with empathy

　　Understand the road to development and future of China.

　　Documentary was planned and launched by a group of post-90s generation. They broke through the traditional style of politics, economy, culture and diplomacy, and summarized the achievements in 13 aspects of the third historical resolution of the Party into four episodes, namely, Come, Cool Up, Money, Better Earning Method, Warmth, Let Miracles Happen and Future, Common Future.

　　The four episodes organically combine the four themes of cultural self-confidence, high-quality development, people-centered and community of human destiny, which are logically related to each other. From the lingering sound of the harps and harps, to the clanging noise of Wan Li railway tracks, from the depths of inaccessible mountains to the electronic plains linking the world, the young director group walked through the temples and streets with questions, asking China for the world and answering the world for China.

　　△ The main creative team with an average age of 27 years old

　　"What is Chinese-style modernization" and "Why can the rule of China break the uniqueness of the western modernization model and create a new form of human civilization"? The director group throws out these issues that have attracted much attention one by one, and calmly explains them. This brand-new shooting technique has abandoned the scripted and sit tight, which are common in traditional documentaries, and attracted wide attention from international audiences.

　　Berta Nelson, an overseas netizen, said in her comments, "I am glad to see that China people attach importance to their own culture and long history. Bless your innovation, because you have entered your own unique world view, abandoned the western point of view, and watched the operation of the universe from your own lens. There are many breakthroughs in energy, roads and consciousness waiting for you. Treat the suffering of the world with sympathy and point out the way forward for us. Don’t be intimidated by hegemonic threats. Soon it will dry up and be blown away, and you will be in a new world! "

　　Trace the origin: Starting from the cradle of China civilization

　　Respectfully respond to the 5,000-year civilization

　　What is the source of China people’s national self-confidence? What has enabled China people to stand today despite numerous changes? This is the question thrown in the first episode of the documentary.

　　The first episode "Come on, Cool Up" does not show the symbolic meaning of China culture to the world, but focuses on the young people who are inspired by history and culture and inherit it. The young people in China in the film not only lament the beauty of traditional culture, but also make the traditional culture of China endless by recreating ancient music, carrying forward national customs and innovating national customs, and send out the pious response of young people in the new era to the ancient blood.

　　The director group adjusted the focal length and recorded the process of restoring the tune of Xin Qiji’s "Broken Fighter, Giving Zhuang Ci to Chen Tongfu as a souvenir" by Henan Provincial Museum, senior armor restorer and Zhengzhou Song and Dance Theatre. With full cultural consciousness and self-confidence, the creative team combined traditional cultural elements, such as ancient musical instruments, ancient melody, ancient dance and armor, into a single MV work, recreated the singing of the Song Dynasty in a modern and fashionable way, and performed international art exhibition and popular science dissemination on China ancient music. Only MV has achieved over 2 million overseas broadcasts.

　　△ Vividly display ancient musical instruments, ancient word singing and ancient dance in the MV of "Breaking the Array, Giving Zhuang Ci to Chen Tongfu to Send It"

　　△ The creative team cooperated with Henan Provincial Museum and Zhengzhou Song and Dance Theatre to read the classics and restore the tunes of Song Ci.

　　In addition to the modernization of western style, there is a second way here.

　　With the spiritual strength inherited from our history, China is on the road of modernization. Modernization is a necessary step in every country’s development, but how to realize modernization is a headache for many developing countries.

　　Copying the western model of acclimatization seems to have become an unspoken consensus of the international community, and many close neighbors and distant friends are eagerly looking forward to new solutions.

　　△ The second episode "Money, there is a better way to earn"

　　"Great Determination" did not continue the grand narrative and achievement tour of traditional political films, but led the audience all the way north along Shenzhen, Hefei and Erdos in a popular science-style typed packaging and speculative discourse, revealing the geek life behind lidar and autonomous driving, and telling the professional ingenuity of female engineers behind quantum technology. Through many cases of scientific and technological progress, such as the "artificial sun" rising in the science laboratory and the development of Hefei city, this paper summarizes the successful password of "Hefei model" &mdash; &mdash; That is, through a promising government to build an effective market, foster innovative technology and cultivate more talents. "Don’t export China model, only provide China experience and scheme", which is a shallow footnote lying next to the answer.

　　Establish a "people-centered" narrative system of China’s values,

　　Pass on the concept of "community of human destiny" to the world

　　The documentary takes the universal and topical topics of medical insurance, police and women around the world as the entry point, and deeply expresses the core advantages of "the rule of China" by leveraging its strength.

　　The director group recorded the whole process of a drug price negotiation, which completely changed the fate of the families of two children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). How did a college student police officer spend 12 years propping up the whole community? How did a rural female teacher change the fate of children in the mountain village with patience and warmth under the background of getting rid of poverty?

　　China’s domestic development is for the people, so where is the value judgment of China’s cooperation and investment with the world?

　　Still for the benefit of the local people.

　　When a major crisis comes, from the Nepalese earthquake to the Serbian epidemic, the China aid team and the medical team are in action;

　　When other countries are looking for a prosperous road, China has grown together with Africa and the Middle East with the advanced experience of the "Belt and Road" infrastructure construction and digital economy;

　　When all mankind is facing the difficult problems of climate change and ecological diversity protection, China is attracting forces at home and abroad to work together to protect our common earth home.

　　These seemingly ambitious goals will bring changes to specific individuals in each country. Faith, a single mother in Kenya, told her story. The opening of the Inner Mongolia Railway has set up a warm road home for her and her daughter who live apart from each other, and also brought her a better career and a better life.

　　The episode received positive comments from netizens in developing countries, and Nguyen Minh Quan, a Vietnamese netizen, said, "(This railway) has been built very well. Americans bring artillery shells, while China brings railways. "

　　African netizen winifred ba said, "Long live the Communist Party of China (CPC); This is an inspiration to those who long for peace, prosperity and collective happiness. We Africans must work with our brothers and sisters in China to contribute to world peace. "

　　Voice innovation strengthens young people’s perspective Lead by technology Effectively enhance the interest and recognition of overseas young audiences for the development of China.

　　The creative team of "Great Determination" brings the young people’s perspective and brand-new voice into the theme setting, picture editing, manuscript creation, video shooting and many other aspects of the documentary, and reflects the interest orientation of overseas audiences, especially young audiences, through the perspective of Z generation.

　　The film has changed the way of "keeping a straight face" in the past, using diversified, creative and lightweight audio-visual language, which has narrowed the sense of distance of serious theme documentaries and better hit the acceptance habits of young online users around the world. On the one hand, documentary materials are widely used, and the ratio of original materials to film materials is as high as 200:1, and various technical means such as crossing machine, old frog, shed shooting and special effects are comprehensively used to create the ultimate picture texture. On the other hand, visual means serve narrative, introducing the changes in China in a simple way by vivid data visualization means, showing the context of urban development by means of investigation and interview, and copying the daily work and subtle psychological changes of the protagonist in the form of a diary.

　　△ Image language of film texture

　　△ Show an era of China Z generation growth through animation.

　　Therefore, the story of China told in the documentary has been affirmed by a large number of overseas netizens. Netizen "esplace3023" commented, "This is a great documentary. Many westerners like us who have lived in China outside Shanghai and Beijing for some time know that the people of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and China have made great efforts to improve people’s lives. China has too much complexity, which is very different from western countries, so it is difficult for westerners to understand. But we should try to understand, not listen to the so-called China threat theory imagined by experts, and label everything as political propaganda. I wish China can move on, because China’s achievements have made our world a better place and brought hope to people in many developing and poor countries. "

　　Netizen Ricardo Avila paulette left a message, "I’m impressed. This is a group of young, compassionate, kind people with long-term goals. This reminds me of what I saw about China’s space program. These young people are not the pioneers of these projects, but they may see the results; Future generations will reap fruitful results from it. "

　　Netizen ramli left a message, "When asked about US sanctions, a young wonder woman said &lsquo; Proud &rsquo; This is an amazing moment. Cheer for these smart young China women. "

　　Today, when the world pattern is full of agitation and tearing, Great Determination records the great changes and brilliant achievements in the new era in the past ten years with solid and sincere brushwork, and also conveys the Chinese plan and China wisdom to the world with novel content, diverse perspectives and colorful ways. As we embark on a new journey, we will draw strength from history, concentrate on development, be fearless of difficulties and tests, coordinate material civilization with spiritual civilization, and open up a new world in harmony between man and nature.

　　[car home Che Ku Wen Hua] On the 16th of this month, Chang ‘an (|) was officially launched, which was the first time that the Explorer model was made in China. I believe many of my friends are like me. Because the explorers didn’t import much into China before, they are not very familiar with this car system. I have the impression that it is a big guy who looks very expensive. The reason why Changan Ford made it in China must be something extraordinary, so what is the good thing? We have to talk about it slowly from its ancestors …

The first generation (1990-1994): Shuangmen is the root of Miaohong.

　　Ford Explorer is defined as a medium and large SUV in China. As soon as we hear this name, a huge figure will appear in our minds, just like the image of the American fat man in the movie. But you may not know that as early as 1990, when the first generation of explorers came out, it was actually to replace a compact SUV: at that time, in order to better compete with rivals Chevrolet S-10 Blazer and Jeep Cherokee, Ford planned to introduce a larger SUV model to replace its compact SUV-Ford Bronco II, so there was Ford Explorer, whose name came from the Ford F-series pickup truck in 1967- In the early years, many American brands loved to do this. A certain model in a certain car series sold well, so the next car series was named after this model. For example, the new Focus automatic front-shining model sells well. Let’s get a new car another day, and call it Ford front-shining!

　　As mentioned earlier, Ford Explorer appeared to replace its predecessor, the two-door SUV Bronco II, so the younger generation certainly has to be two-door. So, the explorer who is rooted in Miaohong turned out to be a two-door SUV. Surely you didn’t expect it? Considering the diversified needs of the market, Ford also launched a four-door version for explorers. Of course, that’s what the Mandarin says. Personally, I guess the more important reason is to compete with rivals: Cherokee was listed in 1984 with two-door and four-door versions, and Chevrolet S-10 Blazer also launched a four-door version when it was redesigned in March 1990. Ford Explorer just went on the market in March 1990, and there were four editions. What a coincidence?

　　The first generation Explorer two-door version is much larger than the last Bronco II (the wheelbase is increased by 205mm and the vehicle length is increased by 320mm), and it has become a medium-sized SUV. The four-door version is even better, with a wheelbase of 2842mm and a vehicle length of 4618mm respectively, which completely surpasses the two competitors. In order to save costs, explorers shared a lot of parts with Ford Ranger, a pickup truck at that time, from bumper to middle net, headlights and fenders … almost the whole front of the car was transplanted from Ranger. In terms of power, it also shares the V6 4.0L engine used by Ranger, with a maximum power of 116 kW, matching two gearboxes: 5-speed manual gearbox and 4-speed automatic gearbox. In 1993, the engine was changed, and the maximum power was raised to 119 kW.

The second generation (1994-2000): a new car series was derived.

　　In 1994, Ford introduced the 1995 Explorer, the second generation model. The change of this generation can be described as drastic. First of all, the appearance is no longer as square as that of the first generation model, and many arc lines have been added to the front face, such as the corners of the net, headlights and bumpers, which have become more rounded. Although the two generations of cars are only separated by four years, it seems to be the design of two eras.

　　Secondly, the change of body shape. The first generation of explorers sold well for several years, and Ford seemed to realize that SUVs had to be big to be popular in the environment at that time. As a result, the second-generation models continue to gain weight. Although the wheelbase of the two-door and four-door versions has been reduced by about 10mm compared with the first generation, the length of the car has increased (the two-door version has increased by 104mm, and the four-door version has increased by 163mm), and there is a tendency to continue to gain weight in the later small changes. At this time, the explorers have completely left the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer and Jeep Cherokee behind. From this generation, you can choose to install the third row of seats, which will become a seven-seat car.

　　The third change is the chassis. Ford’s original Twin I-Beam independent suspension is used in the front suspension of the first generation of explorers. This suspension is characterized by heavy load bearing and strong reliability, but it will occupy more chassis space. The second generation of explorers gave up the double-beam and replaced it with a double-wishbone independent suspension. On the one hand, this structure improved the handling of the vehicle, and at the same time greatly saved the space under the engine compartment. As mentioned earlier, the shortened wheelbase of 10mm was also caused by a new suspension. Therefore, Ford Explorer added a larger V8 5.0L engine when it was redesigned in 1996-finally there was room for it!

　　The last item is the change in vehicle classification: since 1998, Ford has classified the two-door Explorer into a single car series, Explorer Sport, and continued to use the chassis production of Ford Ranger, but it was not continued until 2003. At the same time, based on the four-door version of Explorer, a medium-sized pickup truck, Explorer Sport Trac, has been launched in two generations: the first generation in 2000-2005, and the second generation in 2005-2010 after a year of suspension. After production stopped in 2010, the four-door Ford Ranger took its place.

▍Li Bin: Artificial intelligence will become the core basic capability of intelligent electric vehicle enterprises.

Li Bin, founder of Weilai, said at the Global Smart Car Industry Conference (GIV2024) that artificial intelligence will become a core basic capability of smart electric vehicle enterprises.

He bluntly said that NOMI was a little stupid in the first two years. "It’s not because it’s stupid, it’s not growing fast enough, which reflects that artificial intelligence technology has reached a bottleneck. Without GPT and big model, it’s actually a bit difficult for NOMI to become smarter."

"The AI big model has upgraded our entire cockpit experience to a very high level. Now NOMI’s satisfaction score is 4 points, knowing astronomy and geography, and talking about anything is no problem."

He said that the best application scenario, the best product and the best application industry of artificial intelligence are the smart electric vehicle industry. Conversely, a successful smart electric vehicle company must have the research and development capabilities and operational capabilities of AI, and a successful smart electric vehicle company must also be a successful AI company.

Kia held the completion ceremony of its first dedicated production plant for electric vehicles last Friday, which is called KIA Guangming EVO Factory, located in Guangming City, south of Seoul, with a total investment of about 300 million US dollars and an area of nearly 60,000 square meters. The new factory will be used to produce Kia’s new EV3 and the upcoming EV4, with an annual output of 150,000 electric vehicles. EV3 has started production in the first half of this year, and EV4 is planned to be launched in the first half of next year.

Hyundai and Kia brand electric vehicles are not only sold in the Korean market, but also exported to the United States and other markets. The completion of the new factory marks the further expansion and specialization of Hyundai Motor Group in the field of electric vehicle production, which is helpful to enhance its competitiveness in the global electric vehicle market.

▍Chery Automobile Delays Production Plan in Europe

Bloomberg News on September 28th, Chery Automobile postponed its plan to launch electric vehicles in Europe due to the temporary import tariff imposed by the European Union on Chinese-made electric vehicles, and now plans to launch its flagship Omoda 5 electric vehicle in Spain in October 2025. The move caused dissatisfaction among Spanish SIGEN-USOC trade union workers, who had expected to get more than 600 full-time jobs in Barcelona from October 1st this year.

Chery Automobile and Ebro plan to produce 150,000 cars in Spain by 2029, and re-employ 1,250 workers who were laid off four years ago due to the closure of Nissan factory.

The EU imposed a temporary tariff of up to 38% on electric vehicles imported from China, which came into effect in July this year. China and the European Union are negotiating an alternative solution to tariffs. EU member states are expected to vote on the draft legislation on tariffs on electric vehicles in China in early October. EU tariffs have aggravated Sino-EU trade tensions and forced European and China automakers to re-examine their plans to sell more electric vehicles in Europe.

Although China automakers such as Chery Automobile and BYD are opening factories in Europe to avoid tariffs, EU officials have warned that these factories must create some value locally. During his visit to China this month, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced his opposition to the EU’s new tariffs on China, which runs counter to the EU’s position. EU policy makers are trying to promote the transition to cleaner cars without damaging the EU’s vital automobile industry.

▍Zero-run cars listed in 13 countries in Europe, and joined hands with Stellantis Group for global expansion.

On September 29, Easy Car News, C10 and T03 models of zero-run cars were officially listed in 13 European countries, and the vehicles have arrived at overseas stores to start selling. These two models will be displayed and sold together with many well-known brands under Stellantis Group, such as Jeep, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Peugeot and Citroen.

Using Stellantis Group’s global distribution network, Zero Car plans to complete the layout of 350 global sales outlets in the fourth quarter of 2024, including 200 in the European market, and it is expected to expand the European sales network to 500 by 2026.

Zero Run International has selected about 140 logistics centers of Stellantis Group in Europe as distribution centers for zero run auto parts. Since the establishment of Zero Run International on May 14th, Zero Run Auto has cooperated closely with Stellantis Group, and successfully completed a series of work including EU certification and adjustment of driving experience for European users, and the first batch of thousands of cars have arrived in Europe. This shows the quick response ability of zero-run cars, and also reflects the competitiveness of China car companies in the international market. The pricing strategy of zero-run cars in Europe has not yet been announced.

▍A new milestone in Norway’s electric vehicle market: Tesla Model Y sells more than Nissan Leaf.

On September 29th, the sales of Tesla Model Y in Norway surpassed Nissan Leaf and became the best-selling electric car in the country’s history. Norway is the country with the highest degree of electrification of automobiles in the world, and the number of electric vehicles has surpassed that of gasoline vehicles. Nissan Leaf was launched in 2011, while Tesla Model Y was released in 2019. In the past two years, Model Y has been the best-selling model in Norway, with sales reaching 2,107 vehicles in August this year. As of September, Model Y has sold 59,775 vehicles in Norway, exceeding Nissan Leaf’s 58,860 vehicles. Tesla also plans to introduce the seven-seat Model Y into the European market, which is expected to further promote sales growth. In Norway, the sales of Model 3 and Model Y far exceed that of Model S.

　　At about 10: 30 a.m. the day before yesterday, a case occurred in Xiabian Community, Chang ‘an Town, Dongguan, in which three robbers robbed a bank working car with guns.

　　Three robbers drove a car and followed a work van of Dongguan Changan Branch of Agricultural Bank of China. When traveling to Xiabian Community Park Road, Qilong Road, Chang ‘an Town, three robbers stopped the bank’s work car by car, snatched two bags of bank business summons, money orders and bank employees’ cash of more than 600 yuan from the car with guns, and drove away. Fortunately, two bank employees were not injured. After the incident, Chang ‘an police sent a large number of policemen to investigate, and the case is under further investigation.

　　At noon the day before yesterday, the Xiabian Community Park section of Qilong Road in Chang ‘an Town, Dongguan was blocked by the police. There is a white van parked in the middle of the road of Qilong Road. There is no bank cash truck logo on the car body. The driver’s seat and the window glass behind the driver’s seat of the van are broken, and a large number of car glass fragments are scattered on the road. Many policemen investigate and collect evidence on the spot.

　　An eyewitness said that he happened to pass by this section at the time of the incident, and suddenly there was a sudden braking sound in the middle of the road. He looked up and saw a silver car parked in front of the front of a van. Soon three men rushed down from the car and surrounded the van. One of the men smashed the window glass of the driver’s seat of the van with a hammer and pointed a suspected gun at the driver. Another man held the man in the passenger seat, and then the third man smashed the window glass of the driver’s seat with a hammer. After taking out two bags from the car, the three men quickly fled by car.

　　"I didn’t hear the gunshots, but a gray-white car stopped in front of the van and several people rushed down to rob it." The boss who opened a shop near the scene witnessed this hot scene that can only be seen in film and television dramas. According to him, the three men first smashed the window of the van, then took out two large military green bags from the back seat and ran away. Subsequently, two men got off the van and they immediately alerted the police. A large number of policemen and security team members rushed to the scene to investigate and collect evidence, and the two people in the car were then taken to Chang ‘an Public Security Bureau to assist in the investigation.

　　[Bank]: It’s not cash that is robbed, but business summons and draft.

　　The day before yesterday, Mo Zhendong, director of the office of Dongguan Branch of Agricultural Bank of China, was interviewed by a reporter. He confirmed the witness’s story.

　　He introduced that at that time, the robbers aimed at Mo Mou and Mo Moumou, employees of the bank, shouting robbery and warning them not to move. However, he stressed that what the robbers robbed was not cash, but two bags of business summons of the bank.

　　He said that Chang ‘an Sub-branch sends staff to the following outlets every day to collect summonses. On that day, a driver and an employee of Chang ‘an Sub-branch are sent, mainly collecting about 1,200-1,300 summonses on Saturday and Sunday. This is an ordinary business summons, which has nothing to do with cash and has no impact on banking business. "600 yuan’s cash on an employee was robbed, and neither of them was injured. It is estimated that the other party thought there was a lot of cash in the bag."

　　Mo Zhendong said that after the incident, the bank had organized personnel to look for the trash can at the incident site, "because these things are useless to robbers." He said that the bank also organized personnel to go to the sanitation department to contact the cleaning staff. Later, it will also search for the lost summons through the media and give some cash rewards to those who find it.

　　"Two of the three gangsters were armed with guns and one was armed with a hammer. Fortunately, the employees were relatively calm, so there was no danger, no casualties were caused, and the bank did not suffer losses." Mo Zhendong said that after the incident, two employees recorded the license plate number of the robbers and called the police. "The lost documents involve nearly a thousand customers, and we hope to get them back as soon as possible."

　　[Police]: Snatched two packages of bank drafts and 600 yuan cash.

　　The reporter’s on-site investigation found that the location of the incident happened to be a road intersection, and the road traffic was very convenient.

　　The afternoon before yesterday, Chang ‘an Town Public Security Bureau informed the media about the case. At 10: 40 am on March 16, Chang ‘an Public Security Bureau received a phone call from Mo Moumou, saying that he and his colleague Mo Mou drove two bags containing subpoenas and money orders to the Chang ‘an Business Department of the bank and were stopped and robbed when they went to Shabian Community Park Road, Qilong Road, Chang ‘an Town.

　　Two of the men controlled Mo Moumou and Mo Mou with weapons, and those who controlled Mo Mou robbed him of 600 yuan cash.

　　It is understood that the subpoenas and bills of exchange snatched by criminal suspects cannot be exchanged. According to preliminary investigation, three suspects may think that the Jinbei van is a bank withdrawal customer. At present, the public security organs in Chang ‘an have set up checkpoints on major traffic routes and stepped up patrols to fully pursue the suspects. At present, the case is still under investigation.

　　Is it a real gun?

　　Zhu Wei, director of the office of Chang ‘an Town Public Security Bureau, told me that according to the transcripts of two bank parties, two of the three gangsters were armed with guns, about 10 cm long. "Whether the real gun is still uncertain. Because the gangster did not shoot at the scene. "

　　Is there any money in it?

　　Zhu Wei also told me that all three gangsters spoke Cantonese and didn’t wear masks or gloves. The reason for this may be that these gangsters didn’t know that the car was the bank’s work car, and they thought that Momo proposed from the bank that the two heavy bags were filled with cash, but they didn’t expect that the bags were full of bank bills and had no money.

　　Will it leak?

　　Mo Zhendong said that although these business subpoenas have the names and account numbers of customers, the gangsters do not have the passwords of customers, so the bank information of these customers is safe.

After the development in recent years, new energy vehicles have become the dominant force in the market, bringing vitality to the whole market that has not been seen for many years. Small and medium-sized MPV, hard-core off-road vehicles, pickup trucks and other original niche models have also become popular.

The dark blue car, which developed well in 2023, is also preparing to join the off-road vehicle war. Recently, some media have exposed some information about the Deep Blue G318. This is the first time that the Deep Blue brand has tried this model, so can it gain a firm foothold?

Deep blue G318, where is it like an off-road vehicle?

Judging from the information released so far, the Deep Blue G318 adopts a load-bearing body, which may prove that it is not the traditional off-road vehicle. However, in recent years, many off-road vehicles have also adopted load-bearing bodies, which is not a big problem. Judging from other information exposed by Deep Blue G318, this car should be heading for a hard-core off-road vehicle.

First of all, the dark blue G318 adopts a classic square box shape, and the front line is simple, atmospheric and full of wildness. In addition, the new car also uses thick front and rear bumpers. This style is obviously different from the Deep Blue SL03 and Deep Blue S7 currently on sale by Deep Blue Auto.

The closed front face, simple and atmospheric headlights, and the roof spotlights in the official pictures can all prove that it is a hard-core off-road vehicle.

It can be proved that the dark blue G318 is a hard-core off-road vehicle, as well as its side-lift tailgate and external spare tire, which are also the classic design elements of off-road vehicles. From the exposed pictures, we can also see the design of trailer hook, which is also prepared for outdoor rescue and extrication.

At the same time, the dark blue G318 will also have the function of in-situ U-turn, but from the information that has been exposed, it can’t reach the level of looking up at U8. The in-situ U-turn of the dark blue G318 only refers to a smaller turning radius, and the principle is that the rear wheels are intermittently locked. From an objective point of view, this function is quite practical in some outdoor environments.

The four-wheel drive system common on hard-core off-road vehicles is not absent from this car, and it also has the qualification of towing. This design is also very common in the hard-core off-road vehicle circle. It can be said that the original design intention of Deep Blue G318 is to make it a hard-core off-road vehicle.

The new car is positioned in a medium-sized SUV, but its wheelbase is only 2880mm, so it is called a medium-sized SUV or more appropriate. At the same time, the deep blue G318 also adopted the traditional five-seat layout, without any innovation. In addition to these basic performances, Deep Blue G318 will also provide users with a variety of original factory extensions such as roof rack, roof spotlights, electric pedals and spare tires.

Is it also extended-range electric?

So far, the new energy off-road vehicles with better performance are basically hybrid models, and tank 500, tank 400, looking up at U8 and Equation Leopard 5 are all good examples.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the environment of off-road vehicles is harsh, and many times they are driving in the outdoor environment. Consumers are very sensitive to the situation of "no electricity". The current pure electric vehicles can never solve the problem of battery life, so the deep blue G318 adopts an extended-range electric system.

The new car is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine as a range extender with a maximum power of 110kW. This power is not strong, but it can meet the demand if it is only used for power generation. In addition, the new car is divided into two versions: single motor and dual motor. The former has a total power of 185kW and the latter has a total power of 316kW. All models are equipped with lithium iron phosphate batteries.

According to the application information of the network transmission, the new car is expected to provide two kinds of batteries of 18.99 degrees and 35.07 degrees. The pure electric cruising range of the entry model is 77 kilometers, and the pure electric cruising range of the other models is between 138 and 146 kilometers earlier. Such cruising range can be used as a pure electric vehicle in some working conditions.

Deep blue brand is good at extended-range electric, and the extended-range electric system can also avoid all kinds of shortcomings of pure electric vehicles. Such a power system can dispel users’ doubts about this car and get their approval faster.

How much is the right price?

After the product performance is determined, the rest is the price issue. According to the online news, the price of Deep Blue G318 may be around 300,000 yuan, but judging from the situation of Deep Blue SL03 and Deep Blue S7, the price of the main models of Deep Blue should be around 200,000 yuan, even if we want to open up the off-road vehicle market, the price will not be so high.

What’s more, on top of the deep blue brand, Changan Automobile has a higher positioning of the Aouita brand. If it really wants to pay more than 300,000 yuan for off-road vehicles, it should also be given to Aouita. At present, the Deep Blue G318 has not shown enough core technology to deal with the tank 500 or the equation Leopard 5, so this car may take the cost-effective route.

After the development of Great Wall, BYD and other manufacturers, new energy off-road vehicles have been recognized by more and more users. Deep blue G318 doesn’t need to compete with those high-end models. It just needs to use the identity of new energy to bring users lower car cost and better car experience than traditional fuel vehicles, and it has already achieved its goal.

Who will buy this car?

From an objective point of view, with the technical accumulation of the deep blue brand, it is unlikely that it will come up with a hard-core off-road vehicle with strong performance in the short term, but it should be noted that consumers pay attention to practicality rather than how advanced the technology is, so the prospect of the deep blue G318 is still good.

The approach angle of the dark blue G318 reaches 27 degrees, and the departure angle reaches 31 degrees, which exceeds the general SUV model, which will bring stronger passability; Its extended-range electric system can significantly reduce the cost of car use; In addition, the new car may also provide external discharge function and stronger entertainment function, and the driver assistance system can reach L2 level at least.

Only these can attract users who like camping and light cross-country around the city. With the rise of camping economy, this user group is gradually expanding. Therefore, if the dark blue G318 can give a more reasonable price, there is still great hope to occupy a place in the off-road vehicle market.

Summary: At present, all market segments are rapidly transforming into new energy sources, and the off-road vehicle market is no exception. Deep blue G318 may be difficult to compete with Wangwang, Equation Leopard and Tank, but if consumers only use cars around the city, then deep blue G318 can still meet the needs. After the new car goes on the market, it will play a good role in promoting the sales of deep blue cars.

　　How to combine travel with fun and environmental protection? A leading global innovative short-distance transportation company gave the answer.　

　　Green environmental protection, as a global topic in the new era, is not only a national strategic focus, but also one of the lighthouses to guide the operation of enterprises, especially for hard technology companies that produce and manufacture travel products, green environmental protection is definitely an unavoidable topic.　

　　Company No.9, as a high-tech enterprise dedicated to providing green short-distance travel tools for users around the world, is also one of the powerful practitioners of the concept of green environmental protection. Its short-distance transportation products, such as intelligent electric two-wheelers, electric scooters, electric balance cars and all-terrain vehicles, are mainly green and clean energy such as lithium battery and lead acid, and actively explore the application of more clean energy such as hydrogen energy. With this series of green short-distance travel tools, it can not only effectively meet the rigid demand of global users for short-distance travel such as the "last mile", but also continue to help global users travel green.　

　　In 2023, Company No.9 launched the world’s first hybrid all-terrain vehicle-Super Villain SX20T Hybrid, which pushed the industry into the new energy era. At the same time, this car is also equipped with the industry’s first smart and intelligent system for all-terrain vehicles, which is the first to bring intelligent operation experience.　

　　From the perspective of industry market share, Company No.9 has a prominent market share in various sub-categories of short-distance travel around the world. Since the company’s first intelligent electric two-wheeled vehicle product came out in 2020, it only took more than four years for the company to realize the milestone that the cumulative domestic shipment of electric two-wheeled vehicles exceeded 5 million. By the first three quarters of 2024, the company’s global cumulative shipments of electric scooters and electric balance cars exceeded 13 million and 4 million respectively, making it the world’s leading supplier of shared micro-travel solutions.

On February 28th, Chery New Energy iCAR 03 was officially launched on the market. Six new models were launched, with the price range of 109.8-169.8 million yuan, including three two-wheel drive models and three four-wheel drive models. It is understood that iCAR 03 is the first model of iCAR Automobile, positioning a hard-core pure electric SUV, making its debut at the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, based on the i-MS multi-element Rubik’s Cube new energy architecture.

In terms of appearance, iCAR 03 is built in a fairly hard-core design language, and there is almost no rounded line design on it. The front face adopts a closed grille shape, and the "iCAR" brand logo is also designed in the center of the front of the car. The headlights with inverted "L" shapes on both sides are also integrated with the front of the car, and the internal light source layout is also very chic. After lighting, it has a high degree of recognition. In addition, the new car is equipped with a large front enclosure, and the overall gas field looks more domineering.

On the side of the car body, iCAR 03 adopts a straight waistline design, and the black wheel eyebrows and side skirts below with off-road tires further emphasize the off-road positioning of the car. In the rear part, the overall style of iCAR 03 is consistent with the front face, and the taillights are vertically distributed on both sides, and an I-shaped light source is integrated inside, which can form a good echo effect with its brand Logo. In addition, the rear enclosure of the new car is also quite wide, which can form a good echo effect with the front enclosure design, and it is also equipped with an external "small schoolbag" with a storage box inside. In terms of size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4406/1910/1715mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2715mm, positioning a compact pure electric SUV.

Entering the car, the new car also adopts a very hard-core design style. With the blessing of various colors and materials, the interior of the car shows an overall atmosphere different from that of ordinary family cars. ICAR 03 adopts symmetrical layout, a large central control screen occupies position C, and the through design under the center console expands the internal storage space, which is convenient for storing and taking daily necessities. In the lower sub-instrument panel area, iCAR 03 also designs a knob similar to crystal material, which we guess can control the related functions of the vehicle. ICAR 03 adopts a three-position steering wheel, which simplifies the button design and cooperates with the wheel for functional operation.

In terms of configuration, iCAR 03 will be equipped with 6-way electric adjustable seat, dual-zone automatic air conditioner, air outlet of rear air conditioner, roof rack and other configurations as standard, and the middle and high-end models will also be equipped with higher-level configurations such as 8155 chip, NFC key, wireless fast charging of 50W mobile phone, four-tone voice interaction, steering wheel heating, front seat heating, main seat ventilation/massage, Infinity 12 speaker sound and electric tailgate.

In terms of power, the new car is available in single/dual-motor versions, in which the maximum power of the single-motor version is 135 kW (184 HP) and the maximum power of the dual-motor four-wheel drive version is 205 kW (279 HP). In addition, the new car will be equipped with iWD intelligent electric four-wheel drive and adopt H-arm multi-link and hydraulic bushing chassis structure, which can provide a variety of driving modes to meet various car scenes.

Generally speaking, iCAR 03 has certain competitive advantages. Its hard-core off-road design style is more sought after by young consumers, and it is also competitive as a pure electric SUV with a price of 140,000-190,000 yuan. However, the disadvantages of iCAR 03 are also obvious. Its 8155 chip is not standard in all systems, and the performance of the two-wheel drive version is not outstanding enough. The longest battery life of 501km is not as good as that of other electric vehicles on the market, which may be more focused on performance.

At present, Chery’s Chery, Xingtu and Jietu brands have all completed the layout of new energy, and the iCAR brand represented by young and cool has also started the model building of new market segments. It is understood that iCAR was released on the eve of the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show. It is the first new energy automobile brand under Chery Automobile. iCAR GT (concept car) and iCAR 03 were released at the auto show. It is understood that iCAR is mainly oriented to the price range of 150,000 yuan, first from A0 to the mainstream market layout of A-class cars, and then B-class cars will be launched.

According to the retail data, the cumulative sales volume of Chery New Energy in 2023 was 107,909 vehicles, of which the highest-selling model was Chery QQ ice cream with 67,787 vehicles, followed by Chery Ant with 26,750 vehicles. As a new layout of Chery Automobile in the field of new energy vehicles, it remains to be seen whether iCAR 03 can become the next explosion.
