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.

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.

CCTV News:A helmet, a battery car, behind the battery car body is a large storage box with large and small express boxes inside. At first glance, these couriers in Hongkou District of Shanghai are no different from ordinary couriers, and they are already familiar with local residents. But if you look closely at the red vests they wear in uniform, you will find that the words "deaf-mute delivery" printed on them are silently telling them that they are hearing-impaired people who can’t hear and speak.

They come from a team called "Wusheng Express", a newly established company in Shanghai, which is the first company specializing in recruiting deaf people. Gu Zhong, 36, is the initiator of this project.

Silent express, exploring a new mode of employment for the disabled

Before recruiting deaf-mute people to deliver express delivery, Gu Zhong had been engaged in social work to help disabled friends for many years. At the beginning of this year, he contracted a charity supermarket in the community and suddenly encountered an epidemic. In order to find a way out for the deaf-mute friends in the supermarket, Gu Zhong thought of a way to let them try to deliver the courier first, although he was not sure whether it would work.

Just do it, Gu Zhong began to take the initiative to contact the partners of the surrounding express delivery. However, everything is difficult at the beginning. How many difficulties will deaf people with communication difficulties encounter in delivering express delivery? No one expected it, which led to basically no courier willing to accept it when he went to talk. Later, Gu Zhong finally finalized the cooperation by negotiating and piloting with the head office of the express delivery.

Finding the channel is the first step. At first, everyone’s business was not skilled. On-time delivery and on-time delivery are the most basic requirements of the express delivery industry. Being familiar with every street in the distribution area is also an essential housekeeping skill for every courier. The high-rise buildings, staggered alleys and irregular street signs in Shanghai make Gu Zhong’s couriers confused. Gu Zhong and his team members had to teach them a little bit over and over again. The master with delivery experience would take them everywhere to recognize the building. The couriers drew a map by themselves and then looked at the map on the mobile phone, so that they could remember it firmly.

Recalling the scene at that time, Gu Zhong said that basically everyone has lost one or two pieces every day, and the only way to deal with it is to lose money.

How to deliver the courier to the user? It is the real test for deaf-mute couriers. In order to help them enter the community and open the access control with walkie-talkies, Gu Zhong’s team specially recorded a voice: Hello, I am a deaf delivery staff, and your courier has arrived. But because they can’t hear the sound, these little brothers sometimes don’t know at all, and there is no answer at the end of the recording that has been playing circularly.

When will someone receive the courier at home and where should I put it? A sound person who can figure out these problems can do it with a phone call, but the deaf courier has to send several short messages in succession. When you meet an old man who is inconvenient to type, or a more anxious customer, a phone call will make the courier brother who can’t answer feel at a loss. In order to cope with these situations, Gu Zhong developed the supermarket staff into customer service, and all calls to the courier were directly transferred to the customer service mobile phone. They also established a WeChat working group to connect the needs of couriers and customers as soon as possible.

After three or four months of trying to run in, the daily delivery volume of Wusheng couriers in Hongkou District has basically reached 150 to 300, with equal pay for equal work, which is basically the same as that of health couriers.

Have a platform and an opportunity to open up a new world for deaf friends.

The hot weather in Shanghai has not yet receded. At about 3 pm, Xu Shengliang rode an electric car to the front of a residential building and played a mobile phone voice on the walkie-talkie of the security door: "Hello, I am a deaf delivery staff, and your courier has arrived." After the door opened, he flew all the way up to the sixth floor.

This is the fifth time that Xu Shengliang has climbed the 6th floor to deliver the package today. After running downstairs sweating all over, he said in sign language: "customers are in a hurry to wait for the express delivery. It is inconvenient for us deaf people to communicate with each other, and we want to deliver it to customers as soon as possible."

After being unemployed at home for more than a year, 27-year-old Xu Shengliang, like other 39 deaf brothers, has a new identity — — "My voice courier". According to the calculation of one yuan per order, he can now earn eight or nine thousand yuan a month. Because of his good reaction and communication skills, he is Gu Zhong’s "right-hand man" and was recently promoted to group leader.

Although the express delivery business of Gu Zhong’s team is now on the right track, the complaint mode of the express delivery company has also caused them to stumble in the earlier "painful period". "Even if a phone call to a courier company is a complaint, a complaint will be punished by 60 yuan, which will make them unwilling to do it and their mentality will collapse." Gu Zhong said.

It is already night, and Gu Zhong is still patiently teaching the courier buddy in sign language in the courier warehouse. How to contact, how to deliver, and what to do if the customer refuses to put it in the courier cabinet … … Everything is covered. At present, how to further reduce the complaint rate is a difficult problem that Gu Zhong focuses on. At the beginning of September, Gu Zhong contracted an online shop alone in Putuo District, and all of them recruited hearing-impaired couriers. Different from the previous cooperation with the existing express outlets, this time, he not only contracted the company to evaluate, reward and punish the outlets, but also invested 700,000 to 800,000 yuan to buy equipment and express vehicles, and also added benefits such as accommodation and dinner to employees. "We also provide five insurances and one gold for the courier, in addition to employer liability insurance and tripartite liability insurance, which can compensate up to 100,000 yuan." Gu Zhong said.

In addition to the protection of wages and rights and interests, this hard but fulfilling job is of far more significance to deaf-mute couriers. Their self-confidence has increased, their sad faces have gradually been replaced by smiles, and more and more people are willing to call on their deaf-mute friends to come and work together. In Gu Zhong’s view, these changes of friends have made him more satisfied.

Born in a deaf-mute family, he wants to bring hope to more children from disabled families.

Because both parents are deaf-mute, Gu Zhong can play authentic "Shanghainese" sign language since childhood. Now, in addition to busy with the work of express outlets, Gu Zhong will spare one or two days a week to insist on doing news sign language broadcasting on TV stations. He hopes that through his own efforts, disabled friends will have the right to know social information in time.

Talking about the original intention of planning this project, Gu Zhong admitted that he did have a little "selfishness": I knew from an early age that children in our family especially needed financial support in their studies, but many families with disabilities could not do so, which led to many children from disabled families going astray. I don’t want them to go my way. It’s very difficult since they were young, and they eat subsidies and subsistence allowances.

At present, "Wusheng Express" is docking with special schools in many places, and plans to recruit deaf-mute people from poverty-stricken areas to work. It is estimated that the team size will reach 300 by the end of the year, and more people will shine here like Xu Shengliang.

"At first, I saw the courier and he gave me a sign language. I didn’t understand it either. I gave him a thumb and he was very happy." An old man smiled and told his first experience of meeting a deaf-mute courier brother. With more and more understanding and appreciation, although the people who are helped can’t say "thank you" to themselves personally, Gu Zhong feels that everything is worth it when he sees many deaf-mute friends running on the road to a better life.

"You came so fast that the dog was saved." The nurse in a pet hospital in Changping, Beijing, said excitedly to the courier Zhang lei. When I saw that the whole medical team was relieved, "I felt relieved, especially when I arrived at the pick-up place and saw the customer’s face anxious, I knew how important it was for him to have a dog undergoing surgery and waiting for blood." Zhang lei said, "As soon as I received the goods, I delivered them at high speed. After I arrived safely, I forgot to ask the customer for the high-speed fee."

In the fast-paced modern life, the demand for urgent delivery service is increasing day by day. According to the data of iResearch, the total market size of the express delivery industry in China has increased from 164.1 billion yuan in 2019 to 338.5 billion yuan in 2023 with a compound annual growth rate of 19.8%, and it is expected to further increase to 809.6 billion yuan in 2028 with a compound annual growth rate of 19.1%. According to the revenue in 2023, Flash Delivery occupies 33.9% of the independent one-to-one express delivery service market in China, and it is the largest independent one-to-one express delivery service provider in China.

What makes flash stand out in the fierce market competition and become the first choice of many users at important moments?

Ten years of focus on one-on-one

"Anxiety is given to the flash, and the heart is more calm!"

Flash was established in 2014. At that time, thanks to the efforts of logistics enterprises such as "Three Links and One Reach", SF Express, China Post and JD.COM, the number of express delivery in China surpassed the United States to become the first in the world. Faced with the situation that several major logistics giants have firmly occupied the market, it is not easy to find a breakthrough in flash delivery. Do you choose to join the price war or find another way?

Focusing on the quality service of "one-on-one express delivery", the mode of "one-on-one express delivery, specially giving you this order" was introduced. With the point-to-point delivery throughout the process, the efficiency and service quality were greatly improved, and a new space was created among the giants. Today, there are 2.7 million registered riders.

In August this year, Shangpu Consulting Group awarded the market position certification of "Flash Delivery, One-on-One Delivery of Leading Brands for Ten Years in a row" to Flash Delivery. Nowadays, the flash service covers a wide range, covering 295 cities across the country, and provides 7×24-hour online service. Users can place orders anytime and anywhere and enjoy a convenient on-call experience. In terms of delivery time, the platform takes an average of 7 minutes to pick up the pieces and delivers them to the whole city within 27 minutes.

The disadvantage of this mode is obvious, that is, the rider’s cost is high, but when it is urgent to deliver a document or electronic products and other valuables, the one-to-one mode can greatly improve the efficiency compared with the single mode, and at the same time, the path is synchronized in real time, so that consumers can check the trajectory of the goods at any time, which greatly improves the safety of goods transportation. "Refusing to spell the bill" also makes the one-on-one special delivery on important anniversaries not only about gifts, but also about emotions, so that the recipients can feel psychological satisfaction and happiness.

"Flash is one of the few profitable enterprises in the industry, which has been profitable for seven consecutive quarters; In contrast, choosing personalized and high-end services means losing some price-sensitive users and sacrificing a certain market scale. The single mode pursues low prices and is in a relatively low-end position in the industry, which can attract a large number of price-sensitive consumers. The market scale is large, but the profit margin is limited. "

With the rapid expansion of "CtoC, BtoC" mode, the sense of gain brought by quality service to users has become the core competitiveness of flash. In the future development, flash delivery aims at the potential market space of third-and fourth-tier cities, further expands the service scope, seizes the first-Mover advantage, forms scale barriers, and realizes incremental market expansion; Within the existing service scope, flash delivery can further optimize logistics technology and distribution routes, and use big data to screen and analyze suitable distributors to further enhance the user’s experience; The rise of the new retail model provides a new growth point for timely delivery service, and Flash delivery can provide a one-stop logistics solution in cooperation with online and offline retailers. Through the integration with new retail, it can not only bring new business opportunities for flash delivery, but also expand the service depth and further improve the core competitiveness of flash delivery.

The positive feedback from individual users and merchant users is also constantly promoting the user scale growth of instant delivery enterprises. According to the user survey, 37.1% of users think that the distribution demand derived from work exceeds 20% of the total demand. On the one hand, it will encourage B-side merchants to gradually recognize the instant delivery brand and put it into use, and improve the penetration rate of instant delivery among B-side users, especially the service demand of high-end brands and high-end distribution. At present, Flash has reached cooperation with famous brands such as Tuhu Car Maintenance, Haidilao, SKP and Chow Tai Fook. Flash delivery accounts for a very high proportion in the auto parts distribution of Tuhu car maintenance and the high-end catering delivery orders of Haidilao, because other platforms are difficult to meet the high-quality distribution needs of these brands.

On the other hand, the delivery demand of B-end users can be completed by the instant delivery enterprise, which can optimize the consumer experience, improve the service quality of B-end users, and further promote the trust of C-end users in the instant delivery brand. This is also verified by the cooperation between Flash and Tik Tok. For example, with the recovery of the cultural tourism industry, travel photography has become a new trend, and "Flash Service for Hanfu Return" has become a new landscape of national tourist cities. Users’ demand for one-to-one express delivery service with higher efficiency and greater certainty is constantly rising, and the distribution demand is increasingly diversified and personalized.

Quality makes professional trust.

In order to be in an invincible position in the fierce logistics industry, high-quality service is the foundation of the company.

Flash captures three important scenes: flash for urgent delivery at important moments, flash for gifts to important people, and flash for delivery of important items, so as to build a brand, which not only solves the urgent needs of users, but also firmly occupies the minds of users, making users less anxious and more calm.

In an emergency, the "one-to-one express delivery" mode of flash delivery can guarantee the timeliness and make the delivery more certain. Shi Quan, Fangshan District, Beijing, once received an order for a pair of leather shoes from Bairong Mall in the South Third Ring Road to Liangxiang. "At that time, the merchant said that it must be delivered before ten o’clock. After that, I realized that the groom had no leather shoes on the wedding day. Although I said that I was in a hurry, I didn’t delay people’s lifelong events. I still have a sense of accomplishment. "

When sending a message to an important person, the "one-on-one express delivery" mode of flash delivery highlights the sense of respect and exclusive delivery shows more concern. On Mother’s Day, Zhang Shiyang sent a flower 15 kilometers away to a sanitation worker who was sitting on a small bench and videotaping his son. When he finished the order, he saw the sanitation worker happily holding up these red flowers to talk with his son. At that moment, the beautiful flowers carried his son’s heavy love for his mother.

At the same time, because flash delivery does not spell orders or mix delivery, it can better ensure the safety of items. Therefore, many users will trust flash delivery when delivering important items. Xie Jun, a flash worker in Hunan, once sent a SLR camera to a user. When picking up the camera, the camera was only wrapped in a canvas bag. For fear of lens damage, Xie Jun specially found a foam box and cloth strips, carefully packed the camera before leaving, and successfully delivered it to the recipient. His responsible attitude won the praise of the user, and the other party then recommended the flash to all colleagues in the office.

It is precisely because of the user-centered thinking, reliable service and emotional value recognition brought to users that Flash stands out in the fierce market competition and firmly occupies the leading position in the industry. According to the survey of users of instant delivery service, the proportion of users who are satisfied with flash delivery is 25.3%, and the satisfaction of users based on personal experience is better than the industry average, and the proportion of users who are satisfied and very satisfied is 82.0%. In addition, 30.2% of users are very willing to recommend flash to other users, and the customer conversion rate is also higher than the industry average.

If flash delivery helps customers complete every single spell with "good service" and "fast speed", marketing is a "slow communication" model. This process of improving customer experience, accumulating individual users’ recognition of the brand itself, and promoting word-of-mouth brand communication can not be achieved overnight.

"Flash is not the current business, but the future business." Yu Hongjian, co-founder and CEO of Flash, is full of confidence in the future of Flash. Flash provides people with not only the delivery of goods, but also the satisfaction brought by high-quality service, winning the trust and loyalty of users with intimate service and achieving professional trust with quality.

Explore future growth points

Every rider’s hard work and every successful delivery have become the testimony of Flash delivery’s hard work in the field of instant delivery. The convenient service of express delivery stimulates consumers’ desire for consumption, promotes the consumption growth of local life services, and provides flexible employment opportunities for a large number of freelancers, which provides strong support for the development of local life economy.

When the professionalism and penetration rate in the service field are getting higher and higher, flash delivery has also been recognized by the capital market.

On October 4th, Flash officially landed on NASDAQ, USA, and once climbed from the opening price of $16.5 per share to $21.95, becoming the third listed company in the instant delivery industry, which is an important milestone in the development of instant delivery.

Faced with fierce market competition and fluctuating stock prices, Flash still shows strong development potential and market confidence. With the continuous expansion of the instant delivery market and the increasing demand of consumers for high-quality services, Flash delivery is expected to provide users with better services through its professional services and innovative business models, so as to realize the sustained growth of business and the consolidation of market position.

On the one hand, under the background of the continuous improvement of residents’ income level, the overall upgrading of consumers’ consumption concept, and the continuous expansion of the city line and the vertical occupation of consumers’ minds by the instant delivery service platform, the distribution demand is gradually diversified and obviously stratified, and the distribution demand with higher demand for delivery timeliness, delivery service experience and higher unit price of delivered goods is gradually emerging, and the one-to-one express delivery mode of flash delivery is developing rapidly. According to the survey conducted by iResearch in October 2023, 70.4% of the survey users think that the number of times they actively use the ready-to-use platform has increased significantly compared with that before 2022.

The development trend of instant retail industry is an example. Instant retailing pays attention to the integration of online and offline and the improvement of user experience. The fast and accurate delivery service of flash delivery can ensure consumers to receive goods in the shortest time, which helps to improve the satisfaction and loyalty of shopping. Therefore, it has reached cooperation with many local life platforms such as Tik Tok and Meituan. For example, Flash Delivery is the first logistics service provider to access the same city distribution service of Tik Tok Life Service. Both parties jointly build an efficient and flexible distribution network with integrated transportation capacity and covering the whole city, so as to meet the diversified and omni-channel distribution needs of merchants and improve the efficiency of commodity delivery.

At the same time, flash delivery is constantly expanding its business scope and looking for partners who can cooperate and complement each other in the logistics industry. In 2023, China Railway Express launched the "high-speed rail express delivery" service. By integrating the high-speed rail transportation resources and the instant delivery network in the same city, it realized the "station-to-door" and "door-to-door" express services of the same-day collection, transportation and delivery within the specified service scope. Customers can place an order through "China Railway Express" WeChat WeChat official account, and the riders in the same city will pick up the goods at the first time, send the goods directly to the high-speed rail station, and ship them to the fastest high-speed rail train. After arriving at the destination, the riders in the same city of the high-speed rail station can complete the delivery of the goods and be responsible for the delivery of the "last mile" to ensure the safe and punctual delivery of the goods.

Sichuan Airlines Logistics also jointly launched a high-quality cross-city door-to-door delivery service — — "Cross-city half-day flash & timely arrival" is the close cooperation between the two parties in terminal distribution. By integrating air transport resources with distribution resources in the same city, this service breaks the traditional barrier of off-site delivery and provides customers with exclusive "one-to-one" customized door-to-door delivery service. This means that whether it is urgent delivery of ordinary goods, documents and tenders, customized gifts, or seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables, identity documents and passports, official seals, emergency accessories, seafood and other high-end ingredients, you can enjoy the fastest half-day delivery and nationwide delivery within 12 hours.

For flash delivery, this kind of cooperation means the further expansion of business scope and the richness of service scenarios. For traditional express delivery companies such as China Railway Express and Sichuan Airlines Logistics, the cooperation with Flash Delivery can effectively supplement their terminal delivery capabilities, especially in the peak logistics periods such as holidays and promotion seasons, which can quickly respond to market demand and improve customer satisfaction. This reflects the complementarity and synergy between different modes in the logistics industry, which is helpful to promote the innovation and development of the whole logistics industry.

In the incremental market, the first curve of flash delivery along the "CtoC, BtoC" mode is still extending to a higher distance, which is an approach to the infinite improvement of users’ quality of life under the fast pace of life, and also the ultimate goal of flash delivery independent one-to-one express delivery service.

If all the planning goals about Euler can be realized, the problem of "lacking core and soul" that plagues China will be solved by half, and our country will have a "soul", Xu Zhijun, the rotating chairman of Huawei, told Observer.com and other media on the 24th.

At 9: 00 am on September 25th, Huawei released its new operating system, openEuler.

On the eve of the release, Xu Zhijun was interviewed at the HC China Media Communication Meeting of Huawei Full Connection Conference. He said that Euler’s operating system is positioned as a digital infrastructure operating system, and its main application scenarios are service-oriented, edge computing, cloud and embedded systems; The main application scenarios of HarmonyOS operating system are intelligent terminals, Internet of Things terminals and industrial terminals.

In the future, the underlying technology will be shared between HarmonyOS and Euler, so that devices installed with two operating systems can be connected to get through the two operating systems.

"Euler already had it."

"Euler’s operating system is not a new thing. In fact, Euler has existed for a long time. It is only because President Ren mentioned Euler in his recent speech that it attracted everyone’s attention," Xu Zhijun told Observer.

EulerOS, the server operating system independently developed by Huawei, is based on Linux stable system kernel, supports Kunpeng processor and container virtualization technology, and is a general server architecture platform for enterprises.

At first, when Huawei started to build Kunpeng Ecology in 2019, it positioned Euler as the operating system serving Kunpeng servers.

On July 23rd, 2019, the first "Kunpeng Computing Industry Summit" was held in Beijing, and Huawei released the "Kunpeng Lingyun Partner Program" based on Kunpeng chips. At that time, it was clearly stated that in order to support the development of Kunpeng, the Euler operating system developed by Huawei for nearly 10 years was open source.

On December 31, 2019, the Euler operating system was officially open source. Xu Zhijun pointed out that in fact, the open source version at that time was already a commercial version widely used by Huawei around the world.

Since then, openEuler has grown rapidly as an open source community. In 2020, there will be more than 3,000 developers in the openEuler open source community and more than 40 system interest groups (SIG). At present, there are more than 6,000 developers and 89 SIG, and the number of software warehouses has reached more than 8,000. The download and use of openEuler has spread to 54 countries and 1000+ cities around the world, with 25w+ downloads, which has become one of the most concerned open source projects for global developers.

As time goes by, Euler gradually shows stronger vitality.

Recently, Ren Zhengfei said at the Innovation Pioneer Symposium of Huawei Academia Sinica: Under the sanctions of the United States, Huawei cannot produce the best products with the best parts, but Huawei strives to create high-quality products with the most reasonable parts. In order to oppose the sanctions of the United States, Huawei HarmonyOS and Euler have a long way to go. Huawei Euler not only faces the server, but also the communication and real-time operating system, which protects the national data and information security.

Ren Zhengfei said that Euler is making great strides. Euler’s positioning is aimed at the operating system and ecological base of the national digital infrastructure, and it undertakes the historical mission of supporting the construction of a leading, reliable and safe digital foundation.

This means that Huawei has made adjustments in the positioning of Euler. Xu Zhijun said that the original plan was to let Euler serve Kunpeng Ecology more, and now it has been positioned as a future digital infrastructure operating system. I hope it can support not only Kunpeng, but also X86, edge computing, cloud infrastructure and embedded devices.

Solve the urgent problem of "lack of core and soul"

Euler and HarmonyOS came into being. For a long time, the online information industry in China has always faced the dilemma of "lack of core and soul", which is as urgent as "lack of core". Now everyone knows that the problem of "lack of core" is serious. Any modern digital device must have a chip, but without a set of basic software such as operating system, database, middleware and programming language, the chip can’t work. In the digital infrastructure system, the importance of basic software is incomparable.

At present, China has already felt the pressure in the field of chips. It seems that it has not encountered such serious problems in the fields of operating system and database, but some signs have sounded the alarm. CentOS’s neutral development strategy is challenged, CentOS 8 will stop maintenance at the end of this year, and the current open version no longer supports normal commercial release, which has greatly affected domestic users and urgently needs to find alternatives.

In fact, the industry realized the problem long ago and put forward the "casting soul project".

In 1986, Sun Yufang, a teacher of Chinese Academy of Sciences, as a pioneer, introduced, analyzed and sorted out a lot of information about UNIX operating system, and transformed these materials into the teaching and scientific research foundation of domestic operating system. Around 2000, Linux was introduced into China, which provided a rare opportunity for China manufacturers to develop domestic operating systems. In 2008, China officially launched the "Nuclear High Foundation" national major project covering core components, high-end general-purpose chips and basic software, during which Linux and Android were deeply analyzed, providing domestic server manufacturers, mobile phone manufacturers and other intelligent terminal manufacturers with operating system talents and technical reserves.

In 2018, some manufacturers who gradually gained a foothold in the market competition made some commercial breakthroughs. In the field of servers, Kirin operating system has occupied a relatively large domestic market share. Huawei’s Euler operating system has also been deployed and applied in key fields such as telecommunications, finance and energy. In the field of PC and notebook, the adaptability of the desktop operating systems of UNITEX UOS and Zhongke Fangde is outstanding.

However, although the operating systems developed by domestic manufacturers are becoming more and more mature, facing the strong first-Mover advantage of Microsoft and Google, it is difficult to achieve "overtaking" without special opportunities for industry development.

The window period is emerging, and people in the industry analyzed Observer.com a few days ago. First of all, from the technical level, the dominance of X86 architecture on PC side is being broken, and various heterogeneous computing and AI computing scenarios on server side are beginning to rise. Different computing architectures have put forward new requirements for operating systems. Although different operating systems can meet the needs of different underlying hardware architectures, it will lead to many "chimneys" in the entire digital infrastructure architecture, which will lead to disasters for top-level application developers. The market urgently needs a unified operating system that can meet the diverse hardware requirements, and it is possible for future versions of Euler’s operating system to be unified at this level, which is Euler’s opportunity.

Secondly, from the commercial point of view, in the field of database operating system and server operating system, some business models have gradually changed, which has brought a lot of influence on the upstream and downstream pattern of the industry, and this has also become a business opportunity for Euler operating system.

Third, in terms of geopolitical influence, the present is a good opportunity for related industries and enterprises in China. Relying on the size of China market, there is enough space to develop an independent basic software and operating system industry. Moreover, once such basic software and operating system are mature and form some unique advantages of their own, they are likely to be able to go overseas through their own late-comer advantages.

How did HarmonyOS and Euler get through?

Talking about the relationship between Euler’s operating system and HarmonyOS’s operating system, Xu Zhijun first explained the complementarity between HarmonyOS and Euler in positioning.

"With regard to the HarmonyOS operating system, we originally expected to build an operating system oriented to the Internet of Everything, but when it is oriented to a single intelligent terminal, it will essentially replace the Android operating system," Xu Zhijun said. "On the basis of having the capabilities of the Android operating system, it has increased the distributed capabilities, enabling various terminals to be interconnected with each other, such as computers and mobile phones."

Xu Zhijun pointed out, "HarmonyOS has several uses. First of all, you can develop various IoT terminals based on the open source HarmonyOS operating system. These IoT terminals can be integrated into the HarmonyOS ecology, so that all mobile phones and terminals using this operating system can be connected. Let consumers experience better; Secondly, we have begun to have applications that are native to HarmonyOS system. There is also a type of company that participates in HarmonyOS’s open source and contributes to making open source HarmonyOS more and more powerful and more able to meet the needs of various intelligent terminals. "

"In this case, Huawei will build two operating systems in the future," Xu Zhijun said. "One is the open source HarmonyOS operating system, and the other is the open source Euler operating system. The main application scenarios of HarmonyOS operating system are intelligent terminals, Internet of Things terminals and industrial terminals. The main application scenarios of Euler operating system are server-oriented, edge computing, cloud and embedded systems. "

Xu Zhijun said, "In the future, between HarmonyOS and Euler, we will share the underlying technology and embed the most advantageous part of HarmonyOS, that is, the distributed soft bus, into the Euler operating system, so that the devices that install these two operating systems can be connected, thus opening up the two operating systems."

"Now, through HarmonyOS and Euler, we want to build an operating system covering all scenarios, all open source, let the industry participate, make it better, and be suitable for more products," Xu Zhijun pointed out. "After we reposition the role of Euler’s operating system, if we can get active support from the industry and achieve all the current planning goals through joint efforts, China’s" Soul Casting Project "will be able to achieve its goals, and our country will have". It can really solve the problem of "little soul" of China’s information infrastructure, solve several key problems of information security, and also solve the problem that all walks of life need operating systems. "

However, companies that develop applications on the release of Euler are no different from those that develop applications on other operating systems. Xu Zhijun pointed out that, like the previous "HarmonyOS concept stocks", Euler may be hyped again.

"From the perspective of digital infrastructure, Euler really solved the problem of" little soul "and also solved the problem that we need operating systems in all walks of life. However, development companies will not get extra income just because of the development on Euler, "Xu Zhijun said frankly." Only companies that make distribution based on Euler can create income. Whether other companies that speculate can create income and create value based on Euler, everyone should keep their eyes open. "

Securities Times E Company News, according to the commodity market analysis system of the business community, in 2023, the external market was dominated by negative interest, the terminal demand was sluggish, and the domestic palm oil market fluctuated and fell, with the annual decline exceeding 14%. At the beginning of the year, the average market price of palm oil was 8356 yuan/ton. On December 31st, the average market price of palm oil was 7120 yuan/ton, down 14.79%. The highest price in the whole year is only 8406 yuan/ton, which is nearly 8000 yuan/ton different from the record high of 16240 yuan/ton in 2022. Business analysts believe that the pressure on the supply side is still there, and the demand is picking up one after another, playing a long-short game. In 2023, the palm oil market continues to weaken and has fallen to a low point. It is expected that the palm oil market trend in 2024 will be higher than that in 2023 as a whole, and it will usher in a big rise during the palm oil production reduction cycle, and the first half will be better than the second half.

For a long time, Aouita has maintained an efficient evolution posture, continuously driving the evolution and upgrading of its models, and giving many surprises to its users. Aouita 12, for example, recently launched the NCA function of "no map" urban area, which can easily realize intelligent driving travel on national highways, national highways, provincial highways, township roads, main roads, auxiliary roads and branch roads in the whole city, and does not need to rely on high-precision maps to further upgrade the user’s travel experience.

According to the analysis of insiders, Aouita 12′ s "no map" intelligent driving function can be successfully landed, thanks to its entry, that is, it is fully equipped with three lidar. Compared with the model with 1-2 laser radars in the same class, Aouita 12 has a wider and more dimensional detection range. At the same time, Aouita 12 is also equipped with the latest generation of Huawei’s advanced intelligent driving system ADS 2.0, so its performance in intelligent driving is far superior to that of its peers.

From the actual driving scene, because Aouita 12 is equipped with HUAWEI ADS 2.0, a high-level intelligent driving system of Huawei, and all the systems are equipped with three hidden laser radars as standard, it can realize long-distance detection over the length of a standard football field. Aouita 12 can identify tidal lane, change lanes, and easily overcome the traditional problems of intelligent driving such as turning around at intersections and construction scenes. It can also build scenes from the car body and match the navigation map with the real world. In addition, it comes standard with 19 active safety functions, so the user’s intelligent travel experience is not only more comfortable but also more comfortable.

Besides excellent intelligent driving ability, Aouita 12′ s accomplishments in "battery safety" can not be ignored. For new energy vehicles, power batteries are not only related to endurance, power and efficiency, but also determine the safety of vehicles. Therefore, Aouita 12 chose to cooperate with Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, equipped with CTP ternary lithium battery. This set of CTP ternary lithium batteries in Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited has many bright spots, such as its "double energy well" submersible design, which only appears on the millions luxury car Porsche taycan, and it is known as "the only one in a million, the only one in the world". Thanks to this, Aouita 12 has a unique concave pedal area under the rear seat, with a depth of about 45mm, which makes the rear seat more spacious.

It is worth mentioning that this group of batteries in Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited adopts high-strength 6-series aluminum alloy, with three horizontal and two longitudinal beams reinforced. The one-time pass rate of battery mechanical test is 100%, and the battery has passed 150+ special safety and performance tests, reaching the five-star safety standard, and supporting the highest level standard of dustproof and waterproof IP68. At the same time, Aouita 12 is fully adapted to Huawei’s liquid-cooled overcharging pile. With the help of Huawei’s liquid-cooled overcharging technology, the problem of traditional charging heating is effectively solved, and the charging efficiency is greatly improved.

To sum up, the reason why Aouita 12 can continue to be loved by users and achieve good sales performance is due to its comprehensive strength of "covering everything". Looking forward to the future, I believe that Aouita will launch more vehicles with excellent performance in intelligent driving and battery safety, so as to meet the intelligent driving expectations of users.

Recently, some media exposed the 2025 Changan Ford L in advance at the 2024 Guangzhou Auto Show.

Generally speaking, this time Sharp L is an annual change, and the appearance and interior are not bad, mainly in terms of configuration and some details, and the price is also slightly close to the people. The starting price is reduced by 3,000 yuan compared with the old model, and it has reached 226,800 yuan.

Not much to say, hurry with Hachi to see if this car is worth it!

First, let’s stroke its basic information. The 2025 Sharp L still offers 2.0T fuel and 2.0T power options, with a total of 8 models available. The fuel version of the vehicle configuration from low to high is fashion, luxury and supreme; The hybrid version is fashion, luxury, supreme and ST-Line.

In appearance, the changes of the new sharp L are relatively subtle. The "fashionable" wheel hub has been upgraded to the same style as the "luxury" wheel hub, with the same size as that of tyre size, all of which are 19-inch wheels with 255/60 R19 tires.

The hub colors of "Supreme" and "ST-Line" have been upgraded to a more cool highlight black/silver color. The "supreme" roof rack is also unified into silver, which looks more advanced. You can imagine, driving it to take your family on an outing, isn’t it very impressive?

In terms of interior decoration, the changes are mainly concentrated on the "supreme type". It adds black/brown and white interior colors, which is more in line with the aesthetics of young people. The seat has also been redesigned, and it is said that the support and quilting technology have been improved, making it more comfortable to sit.

Moreover, the "Supreme Type" also provides a new layout of 7 seats with 2+3+2, and the space is more flexible. After the second and third rows of seats are laid down, the trunk volume can reach an amazing 2876 liters! This loading capacity is not a problem to move!

By the way, the "Supreme Type" of the whole department also provides the heating, ventilation and one-button reclining of the second row seats exclusively. This configuration is simply to move the "boss seat" to the second row!

In terms of technology configuration, the new Sharp L continues the combination of 12.3-inch dashboard +27-inch 4K central control screen +HUD head-up display. This 27-inch large screen is definitely the highlight of the car, full of technology. It is equipped with SYNC+2.0 Zhixing interconnection system, and it is also relatively smooth to operate.

In addition, L2 Ford Co-Pilot360 Zhixing driver assistance system is still equipped, which can provide certain driver assistance functions and improve driving safety.

It is worth mentioning that the "Supreme" and "ST-Line" have been upgraded to 540-degree panoramic images, and the "Luxury" has also added 540 panoramic images, which makes parking and warehousing more convenient!

In terms of power, the new Sharp L continues to be equipped with a 2.0T fuel engine and a 2.0T system. The 2.0T fuel engine has a maximum power of 185kW (252hp) and a peak torque of 378Nm. It is matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission and is available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions.

The engine of the 2.0T system has a maximum power of 202kW (275hp) and a peak torque of 405nm. It is equipped with a 140kW (190hp) front-mounted single motor, matched with an E-CVT electronic continuously variable gearbox, and also available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions.

Of course, the new Sharp L also has some shortcomings. For example, its fuel economy is not particularly prominent in the same class, especially in the 2.0T fuel version. In addition, although the interior has been upgraded, the overall design sense is slightly conservative compared with some new power models.

Finally, Hachi wants to talk to all the riders about the purchase suggestions. If you are looking for stronger power and smoother driving experience, then the hybrid version is definitely the first choice. If you pay more attention to cost performance, then the fuel version is also a good choice.

As for the configuration, I think "Luxurious" is the most cost-effective, because it adds a 540-degree panoramic image, which greatly improves its practicality.

In the joint venture brand medium-sized SUV market, the competitors of the new Sharp L mainly include GAC Toyota, Beijing Hyundai and Guangqi Honda.

In contrast, Sharp L has the advantages of richer configuration and more scientific interior, but it may be slightly inferior in terms of brand power and preservation rate. Therefore, which car to choose in the end still depends on your actual needs and budget.

Well, that’s my initial experience with the 2025 Changan Ford Sharp L. I hope my sharing can help everyone. If you have any questions, please leave a message in the comments section, and I will try my best to answer them!

After Zhang Ziyi and Wang Guanxuan’s divorce, Wang Feng’s predecessor Ge Huijie was also discussed again. Some media called Ge Huijie about this. The other party said, "I personally feel that I have been separated from Lao Wang for so long, and the child is so old, so it is good not to affect the child. The relationship between the two of them is not painful or itchy to me."

It is reported that Wang Feng’s second wife, Ge Huijie, was a model. After meeting Wang Feng, Ge Huijie worshipped him, became pregnant out of wedlock, and gave birth to her daughter, Little Apple.
