This year, the central government’s special poverty alleviation funds have all been released, increasing by 18.85%

  Core reading

  Decisive battle to win the battle against poverty, we have to gnaw at the hard bone of deep poverty-stricken areas. How difficult is it now in deep poverty-stricken areas? How effective are these areas in tackling poverty?

  The reporter’s investigation found that behind every position to get rid of poverty and every road to get rich, it is inseparable from the concerted efforts of many parties — — The government should strengthen its efforts, and one cannot be less on the road to a well-off society in an all-round way; With the help of enterprises, contract agriculture drives the masses to get rich; Personal efforts, poor households improve their labor skills to achieve sustained income increase.

  In 2019, the central government’s special poverty alleviation funds increased by 20 billion yuan, an increase of 18.85%, and the support was further increased. Real money, hard work, decisive battle to win the fight against poverty is sprinting.

  Recently, the Ministry of Finance allocated 35.117 billion yuan of special poverty alleviation funds from the central government, plus 90.978 billion yuan released in advance in October 2018. In 2019, all special poverty alleviation funds from the central government have been released, totaling 126.095 billion yuan.

  According to the relevant person in charge of the Agriculture Department of the Ministry of Finance, the special poverty alleviation fund of the central government in 2019 increased by 20 billion yuan or 18.85% compared with the same caliber in 2018. Incremental funds are mainly used for poverty alleviation in deep poverty-stricken areas. While supporting the "three districts and three states", we will focus on increasing investment in deep poverty-stricken areas with a large number of poor people, high incidence of poverty and difficulty in poverty alleviation outside the "three districts and three states".

  How difficult is the deep poverty area? How effective are these areas in tackling poverty? What other areas need to be strengthened? Recently, the reporter went to Yunnan for an investigation and interview.

  Government’s efforts: one cannot be less on the road to a comprehensive well-off society

  On the newly repaired Panshan Road, the off-road vehicle is in a snake. When a vehicle turns over a mountain, it needs to go from the foot plate to the mountainside, and then from the mountainside to the foot of another mountain. It is said that "the mountain road has eighteen bends", and the road has been ups and downs, and there are more than 80 bends around. The car finally entered Lama Village in Songping Country, Yongsheng County, Lijiang City, deep in the mountains.

  The mountain village deep in the mountains of Yunnan has subverted people’s traditional concept of "village". In Xialama village, it takes more than two hours to drive. There are 373 villagers in the village distributed in three altitude zones, high, middle and low, with the highest elevation close to 3000 meters. Among the villagers, there are 269 poor households with 949 people who have set up files. The deep poverty over the years has been overwhelming, and the village is out of breath.

  Seeing the villagers’ group in Yak Village in Yongsheng County, the reporter did not see the yak, but saw the newly renovated wooden shack and planting shed.

  There are 117 households with 375 people in this village group, all of whom are Naxi people, living at an altitude of 2750— On the mountain of 2950 meters. There are 117 well-dry wooden houses preserved here, which were listed as key cultural relics protection units in Lijiang in 2012 and as national traditional villages in November 2014.

  Villagers who are used to living in the mountains are reluctant to move, and traditional villages need to stay. For this deeply poor village, where is the way to get rid of poverty on the spot? With the help of the Ministry of Finance, the idea of strengthening industry to promote poverty alleviation has gradually become clear.

  "Look at the villagers’ group in Yak Village with high altitude and low temperature, which is especially suitable for planting off-season Morchella." Tan Jianmei, secretary of the Party Committee of Songping Township, said that the picking season for naturally growing Morchella is from November of each year to April of the following year. The artificially planted anti-season Morchella is exactly 6-mdash; It went public in October, which filled the vacancy in the market.

  Now, the village has set aside 30 mu of land for planting greenhouses. There are many fungus sticks in the greenhouses, many of which have grown hyphae. "If this is successful, an acre of land can earn 10,000 yuan, and we will expand planting." Tan Jianmei said.

  In addition to planting cash crops, Xialama Village also established Yongsheng Super-source Breeding Cooperative, investing 2 million yuan to build a new farm and raise 84 beef cattle. As a collective economy, aquaculture cooperatives will cover all poor households in the village with annual income dividends.

  Tan Jianmei introduced that at the end of 2018, there were 234 migrant workers in the village, including 160 poor households with established cards, with an average annual income of 4,500 yuan/person. Through the transfer of labor employment, the income of poor households who set up files and set up cards increased by 720 thousand yuan. "Songping Township has also set up public welfare posts for poor households, including ecological forest rangers and cleaning staff. One can’t be less on the road to a comprehensive well-off society. "

  Enterprise assistance: order agriculture drives the masses to get rich

  After realizing the "two guarantees and three guarantees", how to make the poor people "get rich" is a more arduous task. In the position of getting rid of poverty, almost all enterprises can be seen behind every road to prosperity.

  Jinggu Dai and Yi Autonomous County was once one of 88 poverty-stricken counties in Yunnan Province. More than half of the 52,400 poverty-stricken people in the county who have set up files and established cards are poor because of lack of skills. Luo Jinghua, secretary of the county party Committee, said that in order to stimulate the concerted efforts of all sectors of society to participate in poverty alleviation, Jinggu County introduced an industrial support policy, giving each household a 5,000 yuan industrial development support fund, and each household can apply for a financial discount financial loan within 50,000 yuan. There are 19 leading enterprises, 257 professional cooperatives and 43 home appliance companies in the county to participate in industrial poverty alleviation, which has achieved remarkable results. In April this year, the People’s Government of Yunnan Province officially approved Jinggu to withdraw from poverty-stricken counties.

  Yunjinglin Paper Co., Ltd. is a large state-owned enterprise in Jinggu. This enterprise regards the raw material forest base as the "first workshop" and adopts the mode of "company+farmer+base" to cooperate with farmers to develop planting. From fast-growing forest planting to processing and papermaking, the company is responsible for technical guidance, and farmers can also come to the enterprise to work and get a salary while getting the planting income. Driven by high-efficiency forestry and contract forestry, 3,571 poor households in the county totaled 12,800 people, achieving poverty alleviation.

  Xiangyan Village in Weiyuan Town is one of 40 deep poverty villages in Jinggu County. At present, 121 households in the village have set up a file to set up a card account, and all of them have established an interest linkage mechanism with enterprises, which has realized the support of projects that can get rid of poverty in the short term and get rich in the long term. The number of poor people in the village decreased from 433 in 2014 to 31 in 2018, and the living standards of the people improved significantly.

  "Our family has planted 50 mu of fast-growing forests and 12 mu of sugar cane, and raised more than a dozen pigs, with an annual income of more than 28,000 yuan. Now, the eldest son has been admitted to a graduate school, and the younger son is studying auto repair in a vocational and technical school. The days are getting better and better. " Li Xiutang, a Dai villager who just moved into a new house, said.

  In Ya ‘e Village, Yongsheng County, a sea of roses by the lake is particularly eye-catching. This is the 170-mu edible rose base of Ba ‘e Fumei specialized cooperative. As a village collective economy, the cooperative develops contract agriculture hand in hand with enterprises. Roses in the base can be harvested all year round. Lijiang Chenghai Qinxiang Rose Manor Co., Ltd. and Lijiang Zhongyuan Green Food Co., Ltd. provide technical support and purchase at a protective price. 58 households in the village have set up a cooperative for poor households in Lika to participate in the base planting and enjoy dividends.

  "Yongsheng County has the most suitable light and heat resources, fertile soil and good water conservancy infrastructure, which is very suitable for developing soft-seeded pomegranate bases." Wei Gaoming, deputy secretary of Yongsheng County Committee, said that the county is building a modern soft-seeded pomegranate industrial park and will cooperate with Alibaba to promote Yongsheng soft-seeded pomegranate brand to the whole country.

  Personal efforts: improving labor skills and increasing income continuously.

  For poor households, the role of the government and enterprises is to help, and it is necessary to rely on their own efforts to really get rid of poverty.

  In Taoyuan Town, Yongsheng County, an advertisement for a garment processing factory in Jin Lu, Shaanxi Province attracted many young people in the town, and hundreds of people came to the recruitment site at once.

  In order to solve the employment problem of poor people, under the coordination of the designated poverty alleviation task force of the Ministry of Finance in Yongsheng County, Taoyuan Town introduced Shaanxi Jin Lu Garment Co., Ltd. and planned to build a garment factory with a total investment of 30 million yuan to create employment opportunities for poor people at home. To enter Jin Lu Clothing Company, you need to pass the training first, and then sign a labor employment agreement. Many young Lisu people signed up enthusiastically, and after lunch, they learned cutting and sewing techniques in the training workshop. Taoyuan Town also held a professional sewing training class in the county vocational high school. Fifty-nine students from poor households who set up a file and set up a card participated in the training, and initially mastered certain skills.

  "Whether it is order agriculture or processing industry, farmers need to have certain skills. In recent years, Jinggu County has held 847 employment training sessions, focusing on grain production, cash crops, animal husbandry and e-commerce. There were 34,700 registered households who participated in the training, which laid a solid foundation for the poor people to get rid of poverty and get rich and realize the transfer of rural labor. " Luo Jinghua said.

The National Defense General Office sent a working group to Gansu to guide emergency rescue.

  CCTV News:According to the website of the Emergency Management Department, on September 7th, the National Defense General Office and the Emergency Management Department organized a video conference on flood control, and jointly discussed with the China Meteorological Bureau, the Ministry of Water Resources and the Ministry of Natural Resources to judge the impact of typhoon Anemone’s residual cloud system and the flood development trend of Wusuli River, and video dispatched Guangdong, Guangxi, Heilongjiang, Gansu and other provinces to deploy flood control and disaster relief work in key areas. The National Defense General Office issued a reminder on the prevention of secondary disasters that may be caused by continuous rainfall in northwest and north China, and sent a working group to Gansu to guide emergency rescue and disaster verification. The National Disaster Reduction Committee and the Emergency Management Department launched a national four-level emergency response to the severe impact of Typhoon Anemone on Fujian on the 6th.

  The meeting pointed out that the typhoon "Anemone" stopped numbering at 17: 00 on the 6th, but the heavy rainfall continued. It is expected that there will be heavy rains and mountain torrents in most parts of Guangdong, most parts of Guangxi, southwestern Jiangxi and southern Hunan from the 7th to the 9th, and the risk of geological disasters and waterlogging in urban and rural areas is high. At the same time, the Wusuli River has been overloaded with police and insurance for a long time, and the pressure of inspection and defense is great, and the situation of flood control and disaster relief is complicated.

  The meeting stressed that it is necessary to consolidate the flood control responsibility system with the chief executive responsibility system as the core, tighten the flood control responsibility layer by layer, urge the responsible persons at all levels to take up their posts, carry forward the spirit of continuous combat, and grasp the countermeasures against heavy rainfall. It is necessary to closely monitor the rain, water conditions, dangers and disasters, strengthen joint consultation and judgment, keep a close eye on the key points and weak links of defense against rainstorms, floods and geological disasters, intensify the investigation and rectification of hidden dangers, and implement the "call-and-answer" mechanism for immediate disaster warning directly to grassroots responsible persons and early warning release measures for the public. It is necessary to do a good job in preventing geological disasters such as mountain torrents, floods in small and medium-sized rivers, accidents in small and medium-sized reservoirs and waterlogging disasters in urban and rural areas, strengthen inspection and defense, guard against secondary disasters, consider the scope of transfer based on the most unfavorable situation, keep an eye on construction workers and foreign tourists, and decisively organize the masses to transfer to avoid risks. It is necessary to highlight emergency rescue and disaster relief, preset emergency forces and materials and equipment, scientifically command and dispatch, strengthen the safety protection of emergency rescue personnel, and properly resettle the affected people and ensure their basic living. According to the local specific conditions, strengthen the scientific scheduling of projects, timely implement water storage at the end of flood season on the premise of ensuring flood control safety, and make overall plans for flood control and drought relief. It is necessary to pay close attention to the development trend of rainwater conditions in Wusuli River, fully grasp the incoming water situation, strengthen inspection and defense, and preset emergency materials in important embankment sections and dangerous sections to ensure timely detection of dangerous situations and rapid and efficient disposal.

The "money hiding place" of a corrupt official of 100 million yuan revealed that these are all a piece of cake.

  On January 13th, the TV feature film "National Supervision" aired the second episode of "Comprehensive Supervision" on CCTV. Lai Xiaomin, who was called "the realistic version of Gao Yuliang" by the media, appeared.

  Lai Xiaomin, born in 1962, is from Ruijin, Jiangxi. In July 1983, he joined the work of the People’s Bank of China. He used to be the deputy director and director of the Central Finance Department of the Planning and Finance Department of the People’s Bank of China, the director of the Second Banking Department, the deputy director of the Credit Management Department and the deputy director of the Second Banking Supervision Department. Deputy bureau-level cadre of Banking Supervision Department II of China Banking Regulatory Commission, head of the preparatory group of Beijing Banking Regulatory Commission, director of Beijing Banking Regulatory Commission, secretary of the Party Committee, director of the general office of China Banking Regulatory Commission, director of the Party Committee Office and chief spokesperson; In 2009, Lai Xiaomin became the Deputy Secretary and President of the Party Committee of China Huarong Asset Management Co., Ltd., and in 2012, he became the Party Secretary and Chairman of the Company.

  On October 15th, 2018, Lai Xiaomin was expelled from the Party and public office for serious violation of discipline and law. His downfall caused quite a stir in the financial circle and was called "the first case of financial corruption in New China" by the media. Some of his corruption details made the case handlers of the State Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection even shocking.

  Engage in political speculation and gain political capital; Speaking of ostentation and extravagance, extravagance and waste of state property; Cronyism, cronyism and cronyism seriously pollute the political ecology of enterprises; Ideals and beliefs are completely lost, and the principle of party spirit is gone. They are arrogant, corrupt, morally corrupt and extravagant, and they are willing to be "hunted" … … The circular said that "the masses reacted strongly, the corruption problem was particularly serious and the nature was particularly bad".

  It can be said that Lai Xiaomin stepped on the "red line" all over.

  During his tenure, he made great efforts to curtail his wealth. According to the feature film "National Supervision", Lai Xiaomin hid the stolen money in a house in a residential area in Beijing, which was called a "supermarket". There are many safes hidden in the "supermarket", and the cash stored is more than 200 million. The weight of this cash is equivalent to about 3 tons, and when put together, it exceeds 3 cubic meters.  

  In order to avoid the investigation, Lai Xiaomin asked the briber to pay in cash. After receiving the money, he drove to the "supermarket" and put it in the safe with his own hands. On the way, he would go around a few times to prevent someone from following him. In addition to cash, he also received a large number of real estate, luxury cars worth millions, watches, gold and so on.

  As for his own bribery, Lai Xiaomin said that the bosses who come into contact with him are always worth hundreds of millions, tens of billions, and the money is a piece of cake for them, and they have many houses and cars, so it doesn’t matter to give them some.

  In addition, Lai Xiaomin also used his power to crowd out dissidents and cronyism, and regarded state-owned enterprises as his private territory. From the management to the canteen chef, he has arranged many positions for people in his hometown circle.

  In this regard, Lai Xiaomin said, "I choose the secretary of the Party Committee, the chairman of the board and the legal person alone, and the secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection is still in charge of his own party Committee. How much authority does he have?" The secretary of the Disciplinary Committee is a member of my Party Committee and my subordinates. It is difficult for him to supervise me. "

  On October 15, 2018, the website of the State Supervision Commission of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection published a live video of Lai Xiaomin being "double-opened". In the video, Lai Xiaomin, who once had unlimited scenery, was full of white hair. He said, "I know that my problems are serious and my guilt is deep. I can’t punish them too much. The blisters on my feet are all my own. I am deeply saddened by the crimes I have committed. My own is indeed from the top leaders of financial enterprises who have been educated by the party for many years and finally committed crimes, and I regret it. "

  On November 7, 2018, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate announced that the Second Branch of Tianjin People’s Procuratorate had made a decision to arrest Lai Xiaomin according to law.

  If you don’t stretch your hand, you will be caught. The vast number of cadres in party member must remember Do not forget your initiative mind and his mission, resolutely stay away from the high-voltage line of party discipline and state law, and be good cadres who are honest and devoted to their duties. 

What is the new popularity of cigarette cards on campus, and what are the hidden dangers?

What is a cigarette card?

In the early morning, the scene on the way to work was striking: it was not the usual old people who rummaged through the garbage bins on the roadside, but a group of primary school students who were only eight or nine years old. The purpose of doing this is not to look for food or discarded items, but to search for cigarette cases and fold them into something called "cigarette cards" to participate in the game. It is worth noting that these primary school students have a special preference for cigarette cases, and cheap varieties are not popular with them.

Recently, among the primary and secondary school students, a game called "taking a cigarette card" has quietly emerged. The rules of the game are simple. Children use the folded or cut cards of cigarette boxes to play against each other, and the winner can get the card of the loser by tapping the ground to turn the other side’s "cigarette card" over. Such a scene is reminiscent of the memory of collecting cartoon cards in the childhood of "post-80s" and "post-90s". Therefore, some people think that this is just a harmless entertainment for children, and it may also reduce their time of indulging in electronic products. However, when the "cigarette card" is associated with minors, especially considering the sensitivity of cigarettes themselves, people can’t help worrying. Some parents reported that children knew nothing about cigarettes before they came into contact with "cigarette cards", but now they can easily distinguish various brands.

What is even more worrying is that "cigarette cards" have not only become children’s popular playthings, but also spawned a trading market. The value of some rare "cigarette cards" is even as high as tens of yuan, and the supply is in short supply. This phenomenon urges children to rummage through cigarette cases in trash cans in the streets and lanes, which not only makes the hygiene situation worrying, but also may make children feel curious and close to tobacco invisibly.

The Beijing Tobacco Control Association pointed out that the "cigarette card" is actually a way to spread tobacco information in disguise. Children’s premature and frequent contact with tobacco trademarks may plant psychological seeds for trying to smoke. In addition, the lawyers also warned that the act of selling "cigarette cards" to minors may constitute an illegal act according to the law on the protection of minors, because it violates the laws and regulations protecting the physical and mental health of minors.

In this regard, education, market supervision and tobacco departments in many places have acted quickly to jointly investigate the surrounding campus and the children’s products market, and strive to completely rectify the circulation problem of "cigarette cards".

Faced with the challenge brought by "cigarette card", all sectors of society need to take actions, not only to effectively curb its negative effects, but also to provide healthy entertainment choices for children to meet their social and psychological needs. This undoubtedly requires the joint efforts of parents, schools and all sectors of society to guide children to grow up healthily.

AI big model price war started, a year to win or lose?

"When industry competition appears in front of most people in the form of price war, it often means that enterprises in the industry have reached the same level."

Text/Ba Jiuling (WeChat WeChat official account: Wu Xiaobo Channel)

You may often see such a scene in film and television dramas: when several factions compete for territory, their guns are raised and they confront each other. Everyone dares not pull the trigger, and everyone wants to pull the trigger. A firefight is on the verge.

This is called "Mexico deadlock", which refers to the delicate balance formed by many opposing parties because of mutual containment.

Now this deadlock has been broken in the field of AI. The person who pulled the trigger was OpenAI.

On May 14th, OpenAI released an upgraded version of GPT-4, GPT-4O, and announced that it was open to everyone for free.

A day later, gunfire finally came from the other side of the ocean, and sparks crossed the fertile soil here.

On May 15th, ByteDance announced its main model of bean curd, and the input price was 0.0008 yuan/thousand Tokens(Token is the smallest unit of input data used by the big model, such as words or characters).

Bullets began to whiz by.

Six days later, on May 21st, Alibaba announced that the price of the main model of Tongyi Thousand Questions had been greatly reduced, and the input price of the main model Qwen-Long and API had dropped from 0.02 yuan/thousand tokens to 0.0005 yuan/thousand tokens, a direct drop of 97%, with immediate effect.

Four hours later, Baidu skipped the price cut and directly announced that ERNIE Speed and ERNIE Lite, two entry-level products of its big model ERNIE Bot, were free.

A day later, in hindsight, Iflytek and Tencent also announced: iFLYTEK Spark API capability is free to open, iFLYTEK Spark Lite API is permanently free to open, and the price of iFLYTEK Spark pro/Max API is reduced to 0.21/ 10,000 Tokens;;

Tencent’s mixed model has been reduced in price, and the price of mixed -lite model, one of its main models, has been adjusted from 0.008 yuan/thousand tokens to full free.

……

Shots fired and people were killed, which didn’t seem to happen in this scene. But no one will doubt that this kind of thing will not happen in the next time.

After all, when the competition in an industry appears in front of most people in the form of price war, it often means that the enterprises in the industry have reached the same level.

However, enterprises also have their own interpretations of the price war. For example, Tan Dai, president of Volcano Engine, said: "Losing money for income is not sustainable, and we will not do this."

For example, Liu Weiguang, vice president of Alibaba Cloud Intelligent Group, said: "Only when the cost of AI reasoning is reduced by ten times or even a hundred times every year can we really promote the outbreak of AI applications in all walks of life in the industry."

If we want to go back further, the price of DeepSeek, a large model of magic square quantification of private equity funds, and the entry-level model of Zhipu AI will be reduced earlier:

On May 7th, DeepSeek announced that it would reduce the price of its large model DeepSeek-V2 to 1 yuan and 2 yuan per million token (32K context).

On May 11th, Zhipu AI Tune reduced the price of its entry-level large model GLM-3-Turbo (with a context length of 128k) from 0.005 yuan/thousand tokens to 0.001 yuan/thousand tokens, while the batch API of GLM-3 Turbo Batch was 50% cheaper, reaching 2 million tokens in 1 yuan.

However, does this mean that ordinary people have a better chance to use large models at low cost or even zero cost?

I am afraid the answer is no.

Today, there are two main commercial charging modes in the big model:

The first is to let C-end users pay., that is, ChatGPT Plus’s membership subscription mode of $20/month.

The second is to let B-end users pay.That is, the developer API calls the service to let the developer connect the "faucet" of the large model and use the "water" inside.

It is the second kind of price reduction this time.

Comparatively speaking, the B-end market is much smaller than the C-end market, so the seemingly massive price war is not too much cost pressure for enterprises.

For ordinary people, the good time for everyone to use AI at low cost has not yet arrived.

At the same time, further controversy followed:While foreign companies are trying to run hard to keep ahead of technology and rush to the sea of stars, domestic companies are commercializing and gaining market share?

For example, Huang Renxun said that our company never talks about market share, which means that everyone is doing the same thing; Musk said, I don’t pay attention to technical barriers, I only pay attention to the speed of innovation; Altman said that the development of AI is like a tornado, and OpenAI should break through the limit.

The above words are more encouraging, but in the real environment, when the industry leaders are in a leading position in technology, they can only keep ahead and continue to obtain the most resources in the industry.

At this time, followers have many ways to catch up, and full commercialization can provide financial endurance for continuous follow-up.

It is not uncommon for followers to surpass the front runners before the marathon finishes.

Of course, there are still various problems, and we have invited professional experts to answer them.

These days, the price reduction of big models is free. If this development continues, will there be any post-posting in a couple of days? What will you choose then?

My choice is, I will choose whoever delivers eggs. Before the eggs were delivered, I started from rational logic and made three points:

◎ First of all, the price war has brought about the popularity of AI. Some people say that AI is like air, and we cannot leave it in the future. And the big model price war, properly played the role of "air purifier".

Giants such as Baidu and Ali have cut prices, even for free, so that ordinary people can easily get in touch with better fresh air and better AI tools.

In fact, the fundamental reason for the price reduction is that the cost of large model reasoning is gradually decreasing. OpenAI has reduced the price by an astonishing 90% in the past year or so.

However, OpenAI has dropped so much in a year, and we have dropped so much overnight, so we feel the shock wave is even bigger.

The inner OS of the domestic big model: I can’t surpass you technically for the time being, and I can’t surpass you in price reduction?

◎ Secondly, the price war has also brought about internal friction and homogenization in the industry.

The big factories are fighting fiercely, while the small factories may face "the disaster of extinction".

Imagine the situation of a small AI company in the price war, just like a mouse tap dancing at the foot of an elephant. It is necessary to maintain elegance and avoid being trampled on the city.

The price war may also lead to the mismatch and waste of resources in the market. Excessive price competition will force manufacturers to cut costs and thus invest less in R&D and innovation.

This is not only not conducive to the long-term development of the whole industry, but also may lead to excessive market concentration, forming an oligopoly, further inhibiting the vitality and innovation power of the market.

Finally, to win the price war, we must persist in innovation and provide differentiated services.

The price war is only the first round of the Hundred Models War, and the real "ultimate confrontation" lies in the innovation of technology and service.

Just like the competition in the food industry, discounted noodles may temporarily capture consumers’ stomachs, but what really makes people forget is the bowl of "secret beef noodles" with unique flavor.

The same is true in the field of large models. After the price war, whoever can make that bowl of "secret beef noodles" will stand out in the future competition.

The price war of the big model is not terrible. There are two main reasons for the price war.

The first reason is that the computing power of big technology companies is surplus.

When the friction between China and the United States escalated, China’s technology giants were afraid of cutting off supply, so they frantically hoarded NVIDIA’s chips and piled up computing power resources quickly.

Later, Huawei’s rising series of chips were made, and the big manufacturers made a lot of purchases. As can be seen from the financial reports of Baidu and Ali, the expenditure in this area is very huge, reaching several billion yuan.

However, the promotion speed of AI application is not as fast as they thought, which leads to the idling of computing power and the waste of resources in the early stage.

Now big manufacturers are trying to dilute the cost and let the computing power roll up.

It is worth noting that,NVIDIA chips in the second-hand market are hard to sell now.

If you want to sell it to the government, the government won’t want it. They will only use domestic chips. I want to sell it to the cloud platform, but the cloud platform has plenty of computing power, so there is no need to buy new chips.

I received several calls from the United States asking if I could contact them. They have NVIDIA A100 or H100.

The second reason is the progress of technology and services.

In fact, ChatGPT is totally different from Alibaba Cloud and Baidu Cloud.

ChatGPT doesn’t do public cloud, doesn’t consider the dynamic distribution of public cloud, and doesn’t consider enterprise application scenarios, but piles up resources on the big model crazily.

On the other hand, cloud service providers in China should consider for enterprise users, and let them use artificial intelligence and big models on their own platforms, so the service of China Dachang will be better.

Both Alibaba Cloud and Baidu Cloud have been able to dynamically allocate the original computing resources with greater value and more efficiency.

For example, the original 100 cards can serve 150 users. Now, after technical upgrading, 100 cards can serve 250-300 users, which invisibly improves the utilization efficiency of counting cards.

The surplus of computing power resources and the improvement of applied technology have the basis for price war.

Throughout history, the current big model war, like the Thousand Regiments War and the Taxi APP War in the Internet era, all gave subsidies and gave low prices. In the end, only two or three giants were left.

It is expected that the domestic big model will decide the outcome in the first half of next year, and the public cloud market will also change.

Whoever has an advantage in this will probably take down the public cloud business. This is also an important reason why Alibaba Cloud took the lead in price reduction, and it wants to maintain its dominant position.

There are three main reasons why the domestic big model suddenly launched a price war.

First, domestic manufacturers use price wars to circle users;

Second, the middle and low-level competing products with stronger foreign strength have been free.The previous tariff standards of domestic manufacturers are invalid;

Third, long text applications and multimodal applications need more Token.If the tariff remains unchanged, the user’s use cost will be ridiculously high, and the manufacturer will become an island of the platform.

Price war is definitely not a good thing, although it is inevitable that prices will go down. Free is not the key, but the principle iteration, level improvement and multi-modal evolution of the model are the key.

The massive users accumulated for free may be lost overnight because the model intelligence level is left behind.

Now, the price war has become the communication highlight of domestic manufacturers. This is not right. What everyone should be concerned about is the innovative breakthroughs in model principle iteration, level improvement and multi-modal.

Companies with different volumes have different breakthrough directions. Startups with shallow funds should focus on applications, fine-tuning models or RAG or scene-based professional models.

But powerful manufacturers must dare to make breakthroughs at the bottom. If you don’t do your homework well, you won’t understand if you want to copy your homework in the future, and copying mistakes is even more likely.

You can’t copy your homework, nor can you copy your experience. If you want to bring Internet thinking to the wave of super intelligence, I am afraid that you have misunderstood the value source and development paradigm of AI, and the result is tantamount to self-satisfaction.

China’s Internet failed to move into the next era in time, which is behind the application, traffic and quick money thinking at work.

In the era of artificial intelligence, science and technology have become the force of value, facing the competitions of AGI, EI and II, and the traffic is only attached to science and technology.

Traffic in the sense of online celebrity will not bring user loyalty to AI products, especially for the general generative model, users with slightly poor standards will be lost instantly.

Without the continuous evolution of the core competence driven by the underlying technology, it is tantamount to building a so-called strong intelligence with application scenarios.

Finally, I want to say that AI must benefit everyone and AI must be people-oriented.

Science and technology should have values. Today and in the future, science and technology and its operators should always think about helping people, serving people and benefiting mankind, not dominating people, not controlling people, expelling people or squeezing people.

With the price reduction and the increasing number of open source of foreign big models, China big model manufacturers announced price reduction or free of charge, mainly because they wanted to expand the number of users.

Due to the limited scale of paying users of large models, it is difficult to train useful AI. Price reduction can attract more users to participate, increase the data scale, promote the improvement of models, and also help to expand market share.

Price war can be regarded as a strategy of market competition.

On the one hand, it helps consumers to obtain lower-cost products or services and promotes technology popularization and innovation.

On the other hand, excessive price war may lead to profit compression, affect the healthy development of the industry, and even lead to vicious competition.

There are not many paying users of the big model, and the price reduction will not bring adverse effects to themselves.

Facing the price war of big factories, startups should also be prepared to burn money and form their own competitive advantages as soon as possible.

Start-ups should focus on market segmentation, provide differentiated services, strengthen technological innovation or improve operational efficiency, and also seek the support of partners or investors to enhance their competitiveness.

In addition to the free strategy, upgrading the technical level is the core strategy.

In addition, the following measures can be taken to expand the user base: providing high-quality customer service and technical support; Cooperate with industry leaders to develop industry solutions; Improve public acceptance of AI technology through education and training.

"Let more people use AI" is a one-dimensional vision goal at the application level. Theoretically, the popularization of AI technology will bring huge social and economic benefits.

But in fact, the input-output ratio of the big model does not meet this expectation. We are suitable to advocate the long-term goal of defeating the big model from the perspective of bottom-level research and development.

Promoting the Construction of Honesty and Releasing the Consumption Potential (Jintai Sight, Paying Attention to the Construction of Social Credit System ④)

  Cartography: Zhang Fangman

  The Opinions on Promoting the High-quality Development of Social Credit System and Promoting the Formation of a New Development Pattern issued by the Central Office and the State Council in March this year put forward that a perfect social credit system is an important guarantee for the effective connection between supply and demand, a solid foundation for the optimal allocation of resources, an important part of a good business environment, and of great significance for promoting the efficient and smooth circulation of the national economy and building a new development pattern.

  How to further promote the construction of social credit system and boost the confidence of credit consumption? Readers and experts put forward opinions and suggestions based on their own experiences.

  False propaganda uses the network platform to give birth to new routines, and pension fraud against the elderly has become a hot spot for complaints.

  "The leaking area of the house is less than two square meters, and the maintenance cost tens of thousands of yuan!" Recently, Mr. Chen, a reader from Fujian, wrote to tell about his experience of being cheated. In May of this year, he saw an advertisement for "professional plugging" on a short video platform, and someone came to the door for testing shortly after leaving his phone number. "The master said that they used drilling high-pressure injection of glue to stop the leakage, with 150 yuan per catty of glue and 560 yuan per catty of paint. I asked how much it would cost, and the workers said it depends. As a result, after injecting the glue, he said that sharing 55 kg of glue and 12 kg of paint cost me 15,000 yuan. And there is no agreement, just a verbal commitment to a 10-year warranty. " Mr. Chen said.

  Coincidentally, Ms. Yang, a reader, also experienced a similar experience: "The glue that costs a few cents costs 100 yuan per catty. Before making up, I told me that I needed about 4 kilograms, but after making up, I said that I used 136 kilograms." According to the clues provided by her, the Market Supervision Administration of Lixin County, Bozhou City, Anhui Province found that the two construction workers were residents of a village in the old town of Lixin County, and they were away from home all the year round and did not have corresponding qualifications. They use the network platform to publish false propaganda, and contact consumers with single-line construction, with only verbal promises and no written agreements, which makes it more difficult for consumers to defend their rights.

  In recent years, local market supervision departments have carried out special rectification actions against false propaganda and illegal advertisements, and investigated and dealt with a number of illegal cases. For example, some exaggerations, a company in Ji ‘an City, Jiangxi Province, said that its shops "buy and rent immediately" and "return the owners stably at 8% to 10% of the total house price every year"; Some false propaganda, a company in Heilongjiang claimed that its instrument was "fat carving instrument", "with radio frequency heating technology, 4 million energy exchanges per second, which instantly heated the fat layer to 70 degrees Celsius". Investigating these typical cases has played a warning role in illegal advertising behavior.

  With the acceleration of China’s aging population, some fraud gangs are targeting the elderly. "The elderly have more assets in their hands, but their ability to prevent and identify is relatively weak. In recent years, various types of fraud crimes against the elderly have been heard from time to time." Jiangsu reader Xu Peihua said.

  According to the tips issued by the WeChat WeChat official account of Hubei Provincial Procuratorate, there are false old-age care services for the elderly. Liars use the forms of providing beds and on-site care to trick the elderly into signing contracts and paying fees. In fact, the services do not exist at all; There are false investments in wealth management, giving small gifts such as rice and eggs to guide the elderly to download the so-called wealth management APP, and then taking high returns as bait, after the elderly charge the money into the APP, they will never get it out again; There are fake old-age care products, which are called "miracle effects", but in fact they exaggerate their effects, and some are fake and shoddy products; There is a false "house-to-house pension", and the swindler mortgages the property to the loan company at a high interest rate and then runs away with the money, leaving the old people with money and houses empty.

  Recently, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate released six typical cases of cracking down on the crime of pension fraud. "Cao Mouming’s fund-raising fraud case" is one example. A few years ago, Cao Mouming set up a series of companies such as Jiangsu Aiwan Investment Co., Ltd. to make false propaganda under the guise of providing home-based aged care services and investing in art. They choose parks, vegetable markets and other areas where the elderly often live, and attract the elderly by giving out small gifts and taking high returns as bait to induce the elderly to participate in fund-raising by signing "home service contracts" and "art trading contracts". Founded more than five years ago, the company has absorbed more than 13.207 billion yuan from more than 110,000 people. Finally, Cao Mouming absconded with the money, causing huge property losses to the participants.

  Fraud seriously damages consumers’ rights and interests, increases social transaction costs and affects consumer market confidence.

  In addition to economic losses, fraud may also endanger the health and safety of victims. Mr. Huang from Liaoning complained on the "Leadership Message Board" of People’s Daily Online that the elderly at home heard an advertisement saying that a hypoglycemic capsule could treat diabetes, so they called and spent 7960 yuan to buy several courses. "Tens of dollars of medicine sold for thousands of dollars, the old man ate for a few days, but his condition became more and more serious. We found out that this is a prescription drug. How can we sell it to the elderly casually? " Mr. Huang is very angry.

  In the new network economy, online training has developed rapidly because it is not limited by time and space. The dishonesty of some online training not only harms the interests of consumers, but also affects people’s confidence in new formats. Reader Ms. Cai complained on People’s Daily Online’s "Leadership Message Board". In December last year, she paid 21,800 yuan for an e-commerce training course of a company in Hangzhou. "The salesperson said that she could help me open an online store on the cross-border e-commerce platform. I can’t afford to pay tuition. The salesperson said that credit cards or online loans can be used. After three or four months of operation, the online store can earn thousands of dollars a month and will soon be able to return to the book. " After listening, Ms. Cai found that the course was actually a free tutorial of the e-commerce platform, and asked for a refund, but it was rejected. Up to now, Ms. Cai’s online shop has been operating for more than 5 months, and her monthly income is only 100 yuan. Ms. Cai said that this lesson made her nervous about online training: "I won’t participate again, I will be very cautious."

  Prepaid consumption is a common trading mode at present, but some merchants delay without reason, refuse to refund the fees reasonably for consumers, or appear to "run away" in breach of contract. Ms. Liang, a reader from Beijing, wrote that she heard that a housekeeping agency had a good reputation and paid more than 40,000 yuan in housekeeping service fees in advance. Unexpectedly, the boss of the company "ran away". Later, she changed to a housekeeping company and paid half a year’s money in advance. Soon she heard that this company was dying, which scared her to apply for a refund. "I didn’t dare to use domestic parenting again. But we have to go to work, and the old man is really tired of taking care of the children alone. " Ms. Liang said.

  He Zhe, a professor at the Department of Public Administration of the Central Party School (National School of Administration), said that honesty is an important guarantee for the operation of the market economy. A market lacking integrity will greatly dampen the willingness of both parties to trade, increase the cost of social transactions, reduce the enthusiasm of market investment and increase the difficulty of supervision.

  Focus on typical cases, crack down on fraud, build a credit network system and promote the construction of credit projects.

  "Many typical cases now have a great social impact. If consumers have no recourse and cannot get compensation for a long time, it will greatly affect the subsequent development of the industry." He Zhe believes that to create an honest environment, on the one hand, we should focus on typical cases and increase the punishment for breach of trust and promise; on the other hand, we should promote the "credit+"project in some key areas, improve the integrity level of the industry, and make overall plans to promote the construction of credit projects according to laws and regulations.

  Recently, the Consumer Council of Shenzhen pushed 10 enterprises and principal responsible persons who failed to refund the advance payment of consumers as agreed to the Shenzhen Public Credit Center for publicity. Now, by inputting the unified social credit code into Shenzhen Credit Network, you can find the "regulatory information" marked by 10 companies including Sayer Education Consulting Co., Ltd., for example, "Since February 2022, Nanshan District Consumer Council has received 22 complaints from consumers about Shenzhen Sayer Education Consulting Co., Ltd., involving an amount of more than 1.085 million yuan. Consumers reported that the company could not provide offline teaching services, the reasonable refund request was rejected, and it was unable to get in touch with the merchants. " This is one of the important measures taken by Shenzhen Consumer Council to build an all-round credit supervision mechanism of "one place is untrustworthy and limited everywhere". In addition to the public push of information, they will also support consumers to file a lawsuit against this untrustworthy enterprise.

  Recently, the news that a film and television actor’s advertising endorsement was suspected of violating the relevant provisions of the advertising law and was fined 7.2212 million yuan has attracted much attention. He Yonghai, a reader in Sichuan, said that in the past, celebrity endorsements were illegal, and at most they were fined. However, this time, according to the law, they were not allowed to endorse advertisements for three years, and the disciplinary effect was stronger. "It is not worth the loss to endorse illegal advertisements, so that celebrities can always maintain awe of the law when they endorse them."

  The Measures for the Administration of the List of Serious Violations of Laws and Trustworthiness in Market Supervision and Management, which was officially implemented in September 2021, clarified that serious violations of consumers’ legitimate rights and interests in the fields of food, medicine, quality and safety and fair competition will be included in the list management of serious violations of laws and trust. As of March this year, local market supervision departments have listed more than 700 market entities in the list of serious violations of law and dishonesty to the public. The State Administration of Market Supervision also exposed typical cases to create a good consumption environment by deterring illegal activities.

  At the same time, with the increasingly effective construction of social credit system, some enterprises have also stepped into the benign track of self-supervision and honest management. Liu Guangli, vice chairman of Beijing Enterprise Evaluation Association, said that in recent years, the pace of promoting the construction of honest enterprises has become faster and faster. In 2017, Beijing Enterprise Evaluation Association successively launched the credit evaluation of industry enterprises in conjunction with 17 industry associations including Beijing Software and Information Service Industry Association, Beijing Zhongguancun High-tech Enterprise Association, Beijing Informatization Association, Beijing Electric Power Industry Association and Beijing Clean Industry Association. By the end of May 2022, 42 batches of 604 credit A-level enterprises had been publicized to the public. In July, 2020, the Beijing Enterprise Evaluation Association led the formulation of the "Beijing Integrity Creation Enterprise Accreditation Standard" which was officially implemented. At present, the information of credit evaluation enterprises has been publicized in "Beijing Enterprise Credit Information Network" and "Credit China (Beijing)". In the bidding of enterprises in furniture industry and construction industry, some credit indicators can get preferential treatment such as extra points or similar priority, and the enthusiasm of enterprises to participate in credit construction is increasing.

  The "credit+"project in domestic and other industries is also continuing to advance. In 2020, the Ministry of Commerce launched the "Home Economics Credit Check" mobile APP to collect information such as the identity, criminal record, physical examination status, training and employment of domestic workers. With the authorization of domestic workers, consumers can inquire about the above information according to law. At present, the construction of credit system of domestic service industry has been promoted and implemented throughout the country. Taking Chongqing as an example, as of May this year, 475 domestic enterprises in Chongqing have registered with the information management system of domestic service industry of the Ministry of Commerce, of which 467 have completed the reporting of enterprise credit information, and a total of 61,442 domestic service personnel have been reported.

  It takes a long time to work hard. He Zhe suggested that to create a credit consumption environment, we should adhere to the rule of law as the foundation, take supervision as the driving force, take typical cases as a warning, strengthen judicial investigation, vigorously promote the construction of integrity, and make honesty and trustworthiness a common practice.

Who is the king? Comparison of 5 popular pure electric mid-sized cars

    Medium-sized cars are a popular market for new car consumption upgrades in China, and they are also one of the most competitive markets. BBA and Japanese models have good reputation and sales in this market. With the explosion of new energy vehicle consumption, Chinese automakers have begun to test the market with pure electric vehicles.

  Xiaopeng was the first to enter the market, and the first production car, Xiaopeng P7 (parameters | inquiry), directly entered the market. On July 25, Changan Deep Blue SL03 was listed, and BYD Seal was listed 4 days later. NIO ET5 was in preparation for mass production. Delivery may be about to start in September, and a battle is about to start…

Autohome

  Long before the Chinese brand, Model 3 has repeatedly achieved the monthly sales crown of the medium-sized car market, is the originator of pure electric medium-sized cars, and is a powerful opponent. Xiaopeng P7 has also been ranked in the Top 10, with a total delivery of nearly 120,000 vehicles. Therefore, we will also include these two "veterans" in this article.

  When selecting a car, you can’t just look at the data, but the data is also something you have to look at, or the part that can best provide rational judgment. We will compare these cars through several hard data such as power consumption, cost of use, cost performance, and driving performance.

  Price: Changan Dark Blue SL03 is the cheapest, NIO ET5 is the most expensive

Changan dark blue, Changan dark blue SL03 2022 515 pure electric version

"Changan dark blue SL03 2022 515 pure electric version"

  First look at the most sensitive pricing, three quasi-new cars, Changan deep blue SL03 two pure electric version pricing 183,900 – 215,900 yuan, directly fell to the price range of 200,000 yuan, and Camry and Accord basically overlap, in the comparison of the 5 pure electric vehicles in the lowest price. Moreover, Changan deep blue SL03 705km long battery life version price 215,900 yuan, and the seal 550km battery life price close to (209,800 – 222,800), and then consider Changan is the purchase of batteries, while BYD battery self-supply, Changan is suspected of making money at a loss is not unreasonable.

Autohome

  Seal guide price 209,800 – 286,800 yuan, high-end models are higher than Japanese hybrid products, non-performance models are positioned in the price range of 200,000 – 250,000 yuan, which is the current honey price area for consumption upgrades. BYD has launched competitive products in the compact car, medium and large car, small car market, and the results are obvious to all. This time, Seal has entered the medium-sized car market, pointing to Model 3, what are the odds of BYD winning? According to the official, the order volume of BYD Seal has exceeded 60,000.

BYD Seal 2022 550km standard battery life rear drive version premium type

"Seal 2022 550km standard battery life rear drive version distinguished type"

  The price of NIO ET5 maintains the usual "high standard". If the vehicle purchase plan is adopted, the price is 328,000-386,000 yuan, both of which are more than 300,000 yuan; if the battery rental plan is adopted, it needs 258,000 yuan, and the monthly battery fee is 980 yuan and 1480 yuan per month. It can be seen that if you buy a car to rent a battery, the price of NIO ET5 overlaps with that of SEAL, but you have to pay thousands more to rent a battery every month.

"NIO ET5 2022 100kWh"

  Xiaopeng P7 models are the most, all with the widest price range, 562E Peng wing performance version price more than 400,000 yuan, if you look at this one, the highest price of Xiaopeng P7 is close to NIO ET5: NIO ET5 700km battery life version price 386,000 yuan, Xiaopeng P7 670E Peng wing version price 386,900 yuan, the two high matching prices overlap.

  If you choose a car just by looking at the price, then we can place an order here, but we are not. Just looking at the price without looking at the cost performance is what is inside. One of the most concerned parameters for consumers to buy an electric car is the cruising range. Next, let’s look at the cost performance.

  Cost-effective: Who has the highest mileage per unit price?

  The calculation method of unit price mileage is: cruising mileage/guide price, which can be understood as: how many cruising mileage you can enjoy for every 10,000 yuan, it is natural that the higher the index, the more cost-effective.

  The CLTC cruising range of the SEAL is 550km and 700km. The Changan Deep Blue SL03 has 515km and 705km cruises. The NIO ET5 is also divided into 550km and 700km cruises, which are exactly the same as the SEAL. However, due to the "one price", at this point, you need to take apart each model of these cars in detail.

Autohome

  In this comparison, it is clear at a glance that the unit price of the 705km battery life version of the Changan Deep Blue SL03 enjoys the highest mileage, reaching 32.65, and the other 515km battery life ranks second, with a target value of 28. No wonder the price of the Changan Deep Blue SL03 was released, and the industry was saying that Changan was just going to "make friends"?

Autohome

  The unit price of the 700k battery life version of the Seal reached 26.94, which is also a relatively high level. It is the highest among the various models of the Seal. Its two 550km battery life models are divided into the Elite type and the Premier type, and the ratio is 26.22 and 24.69 respectively. The price of the Premier type is higher because of other more abundant configurations. What more noble configurations does the Premier type have than the Elite type? – – heating and ventilation of the front seats, multi-colored ambient lights in the car, Dynaudio speakers, and reminders that the seat belt is not worn in the whole car, basically these are the things, so choose the Premier or the Elite, it depends on whether you care about these functions.

"Seal 2022 550km standard battery life rear drive version distinguished type"

  The NIO ET5 looks "the lowest cost-effective", but the NIO ET5 is equipped with dual motors, the same as the performance version of the Seal, Xiaopeng P7 and Model 3. We will compare its power and torque parameters later. At that time, we can further find that the NIO ET5 pursues driving experiences such as speed and speed increase.

Autohome

  The 706G model of Xiaopeng P7 has the highest unit price mileage value, which is higher than the 550km distinguished model of the Seal, but this car IPO time is earlier (April 2020), and the active/passive safety configuration and auxiliary/control configuration are basically "beggar version", so it is not popular. However, the 480N + listed in December last year and the 625E model listed in May this year have the highest attention.

  The performance version of Xiaopeng P7 562E has a significantly lower unit price because of the NEDC battery life. According to the approximate conversion of NEDC and CLTC, the CLTC battery life of this car is roughly 607km. Therefore, the unit price of Xiaopeng P7 562E performance version can reach 17.35, but in the three performance models, it is still low.

  If you only compare the performance models, then the 650km four-wheel drive performance version of the Seal is a winner: a unit price of 22.66, ahead of other pure electric performance models in the same class, and the pursuit of performance experience of the NIO ET5 is lost in this dimension to the Seal and Model 3.

  Power consumption: Who saves the most money when using electricity for 100 kilometers?

  When buying a fuel car, we pay attention to fuel consumption. When buying an electric car, we naturally pay attention to power consumption.

  According to the official 100-kilometer power consumption data released by various companies, the 515km version of the Changan Deep Blue SL03 has the lowest power consumption, with a 100-kilometer power consumption of 12.3 degrees. The rear-wheel drive version of the Model 3 is also very optimistic, with only 12.5 degrees. The 550km battery life version of the Seal consumes 12.6 degrees of power per 100 kilometers, and the 700km long battery life version consumes 13 degrees, which is similar to the 700km long battery life version of the Changan Deep Blue SL03.

  The lower energy consumption of the Changan Deep Blue SL03 does not matter. The curb weight of its 515km battery life model is 1725kg, while the curb weight of the Seal 550km battery life model reaches 1885kg, which is 160kg more than the former. In addition, the Changan Deep Blue SL03 is equipped with a ternary lithium battery, which has a higher energy density, while the Seal uses a lithium iron phosphate blade battery, which has a relatively low energy density.

  In terms of money, if calculated according to the daytime charging price of household piles of 0.6 yuan/kWh, the 100-kilometer electricity cost of Changan SL03 515km battery life model is the lowest, only 7.38 yuan, followed by Model 3 rear-wheel drive version and Xiaopeng P7 706G, both 7.5 yuan. The most expensive is Xiaopeng P7 480N +, the 100-kilometer electricity cost is 8.38 yuan, and the Xiaopeng P7 625E is 7.98 yuan, which is also close to 8 yuan. The two SEAL 550km battery life models are 7.56 yuan, and the 700km long battery life model needs 7.8 yuan.

  Of course, the above is based on the calculation of complete household charging, and the official data is used. If public charging piles are used for charging, coupled with the complexity of the usage scenario, the actual cost will be higher than this.

  However, the current NIO ET5 has not released power consumption data. Since it is a dual-motor configuration, and the maximum power and maximum torque are close to the performance versions of several other cars, it is estimated that its 100-kilometer power consumption should not be less than 15 degrees. If you compare the above dual-motor configuration models alone, the 100-kilometer power consumption of the Model 3 performance version is as low as 13.2 degrees. It has to be said that Tesla still has its own unique features.

  Driving performance: Who has more power?

  In addition to the Changan Deep Blue SL03, the above pure electric medium-sized cars are available in dual-motor configuration versions, and consumers who pursue performance and power experience will prefer such models.

  If you don’t look at the performance model, the official 0-100km/h acceleration of the SEAL’s 700km long battery life is the fastest, 5.9 seconds, and the maximum torque of 360N · m is also quite competitive. Compared with the SEAL, under the condition of more than 500 kilometers of battery life, compared with the SEAL, the Changan Deep Blue SL03 has achieved lower energy consumption, stronger output, and faster "zero hundred".

  The NIO ET5 has the largest power and torque data, but the ET5 is equipped with dual motors like other performance models. If this is taken into account, its book data cannot be comparable to the Seal performance version, but the support for power exchange is the unique selling point of the NIO ET5. And NIO has always been accustomed to working hard on intelligent configurations and interiors, such as standard automatic parking, sentry mode, 256-color interior ambient lights, optional L3-level auxiliary driving, etc. The number of intelligent hardware configurations such as cameras and radars is also the highest. The NIO ET5 also comes standard with a lidar.

  Regarding the comparison of interior and intelligent configuration, this article does not cover much, but can be learned in detail in the Autohome model library. Finally, for the sake of more intuitiveness, we have conducted a competitive map analysis of the above models based on parameters such as price, cruising range, and unit price. The following chart may require a little bit of quadrant knowledge.

  We divide the above figure into four zones, and the upper left zone is the most "calculating" option. The Changan Deep Blue SL03 705 pure electric version and the Seal 700km long battery life version are the most cost-effective choices; the lower left zone is an affordable area, which is a stable choice for users who do not pursue the ultimate battery life and extreme performance. They can spend less money to get the right product.

  The upper right area is the pursuit of performance, the pursuit of battery life users preferred, which in addition to the Xiaopeng P7 625E, are dual motor models, to meet the pursuit of speed and passion, of course, users also need to pay more money, in addition to the performance of the seal models, are running 350,000 + to go, so it seems that the performance of the seal version more price advantage, coupled with the previous comparison of 100 kilometers of power consumption and acceleration performance, competitiveness is better than Model 3 and NIO ET5 high-end models.

  As for the lower right area, well, they must have their reasons, such as intelligent configuration, interior and so on…

  Editor’s comment:

  Through the comparison of the above hard data on the books, it can be found that each product has its own advantages and shortcomings. As the saying goes, "Hundreds of customers buy general merchandise, and general merchandise sells to hundreds of customers". As the saying goes, "What you buy does not sell.", so after rational data comparison, what to choose depends on some sensibility. If you have to have a hatchback, then you can only choose Changan dark blue SL03. If you want to change electricity, then choose NIO ET5; if you value the brand strength behind the car series, BYD may be given priority…

  In any case, the mid-sized car market is about to usher in more pure electric models "spoiler". The highest monthly sales of Model 3 can exceed 30,000 units, but this is a friend who makes big moves every three or six nine days. Overall, its annual sales have exceeded 150,000 units; Xiaopeng P7’s highest monthly sales have also exceeded 9,000 units, and new models are about to be released. To face these two old players, and to surround each other, as well as the Japanese classic fuel vehicles, the fate of Changan Deep Blue SL03, Seal and NIO ET5 will be determined by one consumer choice. So, who do you like more? Please vote for the future of these 5 cars. (Text/Autohome Wang Jingbo)

Which is better, hand-to-hand integration or wet double clutch?

Manual and automatic integration and wet dual clutch have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they are suitable for different driving environments and needs. The advantages of automatic manual transmission (CVT) include high transmission efficiency, low power loss, simulation of more gears, keeping the engine speed within the economic speed range, reducing fuel consumption, simple operation and easy to use. The disadvantage is that the structure is relatively complex, the maintenance cost is high, and the stability is not as good as that of the traditional automatic transmission when driving at high speed. The advantages of wet dual clutch (DCT) are fast shifting speed, rapid dynamic response, relatively simple structure and low cost, which can better play the dynamic performance of the engine. The disadvantage is that there may be a slight sense of frustration during shifting. Because of the use of two clutches, the structure is more complicated and the failure rate is relatively high. Generally speaking, if you are more concerned about fuel economy and comfort, then hand-to-hand integration may be more suitable for you; If you pursue driving passion and dynamic performance, then wet dual clutch may be a better choice.

Both manual and automatic integration and wet dual clutch are representatives of modern automobile transmission technology, but their principles and structures are different. Manual-automatic integration adopts steel belt transmission, and realizes stepless speed change by simulating more gears, which keeps the engine speed within the economic speed range, reduces fuel consumption, and is easy to operate and use. However, the wet dual clutch uses two clutches, which can achieve rapid dynamic response through rapid gear shifting and better play the dynamic performance of the engine. The structure of the automatic manual transmission is relatively complex, and the maintenance cost is high. When driving at high speed, the stability is not as good as that of the traditional automatic transmission. There may be a slight sense of frustration in the shift process of wet dual clutch. Because of the use of two clutches, the structure is more complicated and the failure rate is relatively high. Therefore, the choice of transmission depends on the individual’s demand for driving performance and economy.
