First cut the price, then stop production. Why is LI the owner of ＂backstab＂？

Text | Huaxia Energy Network

"It’ s another price cut of 20,000, and it’ s announced to stop production. It feels like being backstab." A car owner who just booked a Li one not long ago told Huaxia Energy Network, "Now it’s time to return the reservation and wait and see. After all, there are other options on the market."

Recently, LI was caught in the vortex of "cutting prices and stopping production", which was acknowledged by the official customer service and related personnel in LI on the 5th. Previously, LI had publicly stated that he would release Li one’s "flat replacement" ideal L8 in the future to replace the current Li one, but the specific time has not yet been announced.

On September 3, LI released "About Li ONE for sale" on the official APP.HoubaoDescription of Barriers and Software Upgrade Services, which indicates that after the release of L8, the basic guarantee of Li ONE will not be affected, but in this announcement, the news that it is about to stop production has not been publicized.

As the first model released by founder Li Xiang, Li one can be called "outstanding achievements". The car was released in October 2018 and officially delivered in December 2019. In less than three years after delivery, he has led LI to win the sales champion of new forces and the sales champion of medium and large SUVs several times, which has accumulated a good reputation for the ideal.

However, the more so, the more surprising LI gave up this car. Giving up the brand name for three years and replacing it with a more "standard" but no accumulation L8 is quite rare in a very successful car.

Behind this action, it reflects the difficult situation that LI is facing at present.

If you don’t pick it up, the sales volume will be halved.

In the past August, it was a "disaster" for LI, and the monthly sales volume was "halved" month on month and year on year.

According to the official data of LI, a total of 4,571 vehicles were delivered in LI in August, down 51.54% year-on-year and 56.14% quarter-on-quarter. From January to August, a total of 75,400 vehicles were delivered, a year-on-year increase of 56.5%; Since the delivery, the historical cumulative delivery volume is nearly 200,000 vehicles.

As LI’s new L9 model was only delivered on August 30th, the above sales data almost completely depend on Li one. It is with this model that the ideal sales volume has been equal to that of Tucki, Weilai and Nezha.

On the one hand, the current L9 has just been listed, and it is limited by the production capacity of some parts in the supply chain, so it is impossible to increase the volume quickly. On the other hand, Li ONE is influenced by the upcoming release of new cars, and consumers are holding money to wait and see.

From a deeper perspective, LI is extremely dependent on a specific market group at present, which will lead to the emotional fluctuation of this market group in any vehicle change, upgrade and new action, resulting in internal competition among different models, which will have a huge adverse impact on its vehicle sales.

Take Ideal L9 as an example. It is the same technical route as Li ONE, and it also focuses on medium and large SUVs. The prices are 350,000 yuan and 460,000 yuan respectively, both of which belong to the high price range. "It can be said that the two models are direct competing products, and the target users and product positioning are highly similar, which has a great impact on the sales of the whole company." A car critic told Huaxia Energy Network.

The direct evidence of the competition between the two products is in LI’s own performance conference. On August 15th, the company released Q2 financial report, saying that the expected delivery volume of Q3 was 27,000-29,000 vehicles. According to the current data, if the sales volume of L9 successfully exceeds 10,000, the sales volume in Li ONE in September will be halved compared with that in July, and the competition between the two products is very obvious.

On August 31st, Li Xiang revealed on social media that both Pro and Max versions can be selected for the new ideal L8 six-seat and five-seat VIP models. Pro version corresponds to the combination of AD Pro and SS Pro, while Max version corresponds to the combination of AD Max and SS Max. AD Max ADopts dual Orin X+ lidar+full set of security redundancy, while AD Pro is the world premiere of a high-performance ad chip with high cost performance.

Judging from the information published at present, there is still no significant difference between L8 and L9 in terms of target users and product positioning, which means that after the launch of L8, LI’s overall sales volume will still face the dilemma of "beating itself". If the price difference is too large, it will even cause fierce reactions from some scheduled L9 users, just as Li ONE announced the price reduction this time.

Surrounded by tigers, the situation is embarrassing.

LI’s current embarrassing situation has something to do with targeted competition from outside.

Li ONE’s success depends largely on its accurate product positioning. But three years later, this market has been targeted by many players. Whether LI can survive under the encirclement and suppression of new forces and old rivers and lakes will be the main problem in the future.

In July, at Huawei’s press conference, Yu Chengdong made a high-profile announcement about the M7. This car belongs to the extended program, and its product positioning, target users and price range are almost the same as those of Li ONE. Although the series of cars in the world were launched by Xiaokang Selis, neither officials nor consumers will doubt the "Huawei lineage" of this car.

At this press conference, Yu Chengdong also praised the technology of extended range, saying that extended range is a very good choice, and extended range is the closest step to pure electricity, because the battery capacity is large and there is no direct drive of fuel engine, which reduces the maintenance cost and improves the ride comfort and performance.

Due to the strong benchmarking nature of this product, Auxiliary snatched a large number of ideal potential users as soon as it was released, and obtained 20,000 scheduled orders on the same day. Although the sales volume in the first month shows that there is still a big gap between Li ONE and China, the gap is not obvious, and it will continue to grow when Li ONE announces to stop production.

Perhaps the ideal felt the crisis. Shortly after the release of M7, the news that the ideal L8, which should have been released next year, will be accelerated began to appear, and it was recently proved that it will be released this year. The two models have not yet fought head-on in the market, but from the ideal hasty response, it is enough to see the tremendous pressure felt by the company.

If Huawei is a foreign "invader", then the "peers" such as Wei Lai, Tucki and Nezha, who belong to the new power camp, are as tough to deal with. The relationship between Ideal and them has entered the stage of all-round competition from the previous dislocation competition.

Take Weilai, which is also a high-end car, as an example, its second brand with a positioning of 200,000 yuan has been on the line, and news has come out that it will release the third brand with a positioning of 100,000 yuan, directly killing and grabbing the market.

When the new forces were in full swing, BYD quietly surpassed Tesla in the first half of this year and became the world’s first car company in terms of new energy vehicle shipments. At the same time, whether it is joint venture brands such as Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz or BMW, or independent brands such as Great Wall, Chang ‘an and Guangzhou Automobile, etc., they have announced ambitious new energy vehicle strategies this year, which are overwhelming with strong supply chain and channel advantages.

In the face of such complicated and fierce market competition, it is difficult for LI to get rid of the current predicament easily with the release of Ideal L8. Once its advantages of misplaced competition are gradually eroded by competitors, it will be more passive in the future competition.

Can we save the decline with the release of L8? Obviously, LI needs to think more.

Redefining Gong Li, subverting spy war, and the ＂Grand Theatre＂ of Lou Ye, the god of forbidden movies, is it worth seeing？

"Lanxin Grand Theatre" was released, and the film was shortlisted for the 76th Venice main competition. Two years have passed in a blink of an eye and finally entered the cinema. This film is also one of Gong Li’s masterpieces in recent years. The Lanxin Grand Theatre is not only her main stage, but also the stage of the heroine Yu Yan. Not long ago, Beijing International Film Festival even appointed the Lanxin Grand Theatre as the closing film, which shows its weight in the hearts of fans.

There are spoilers in this article.

one

In 1937, Shanghai was occupied by Japan. The story took place in the French Concession. In this privileged and safe zone, there were mixed fish and dragons. In addition to prominent figures, there were also many spies from all corners of the country who secretly performed tasks.

"Lanxin Grand Theatre" began with "a scene". Drama director Tan Na wandered around the dance and then started a conversation with a woman about the factory strike. The woman was Fang Qiu Lan played by Yan, and then the conversation was interrupted by a man who wanted to take Fang Qiu Lan away by force.

This is obviously the plot on the stage. The real Yu Yan is chased by fanatical fans in Shanghai and surrounded by reporters everywhere she goes. The limousine took her to the luxury hotel in the French Concession, and she was received by the hotel manager Saul Xia Pier. These were carefully arranged, because Saul, like Yu Yan, was also serving the Allies.

But is this the only task of Yu Yan? No, after she returned to Shanghai, she had at least two tasks, except to meet with Hubert, a senior allied officer, and to find Ni Zeren, her ex-husband imprisoned by the Japanese army. In the past few years, Hubert has always been an elder in Yu Yan’s heart, and the way she respects him is to accept the dispatch and make a good chess piece.

Yu Yan not only returned to the stage, but also rekindled her old love with her ex-lover, Tan Na. Her eyes are full of love, and Tan Na enjoys the rekindled fire of love more than she does. He may know that he is the shield role selected by Yu Violet, but he is also willing. After all, he is trusted, and this feeling is not necessarily to take part in accidental amusement.

Mo Zhiyin, a close friend of Tan Na’s circle, is a cruel character. As an intelligence agent of Wang Puppet Government, he is always on the alert for any trouble around him. Although Yu Yan kept a low profile, she came into his sight, but Mo Zhi only knew some details about Yu Yan, thinking that she came back to save her ex-husband.

Suddenly, a young opera fan named Bai Yunshang appeared around Violet. Bai Yunshang is a clever girl, and she expressed her admiration for Violet more than once because she also wants to be an actress. Her enthusiasm successfully captured Yu Yan’s attention. Out of doubt or interest, Yu Yan decided to let her enter the theater and get close to idolize.

There are also two key characters, namely, an expert in code deciphering, Kotani Saburo, and Kurihara, who serves Japanese imperialism. They are the most dangerous enemies lurking around Violet and Hubert.

Kotanisaburo is always frowning and preoccupied. As a special expert, he is the rarest trump card of Japan and the breakthrough in Hubert’s eyes.

In order to obtain Japanese intelligence, Hubert launched the "Double Mirror Project". Only one person can perform this task, and that is Yu Yan. She looks very much like Kotanisaburo’s dead wife, which is the real reason why she returned to Shanghai.

Maybe she has long been tired of spy life, and repeated scenes divide her life and make her lose herself. So Yu Violet’s move to take the task is to repay the kindness, and she wants to regard this as her last role.

Kotanisaburo’s love for his dead wife is very touching. The pain caused by this love made him trance from the present fear. Unlike Yu Yan, who wanted to get out of it, this man had almost no fighting capacity and finally became the most helpless participant in this war.

Compared with Kotanisaburo, Yu Yan’s ex-husband Ni Zeren is slick and treacherous. He is a traitor who helps the Japanese to do business. After making a fortune, he staged a dog-eat-dog drama, but he was put together by the Japanese. Yu Yan tried to save him, but Ni Zeren didn’t have this life.

Finally, this night, in a heavy rain, someone set up a game and someone set up a close encounter of mahjong. Compared with Tan Na’s drama, this night is much more exciting. Yu Yan single-handedly broke through several checkpoints and saw the deaths of enemies, friends and innocent people who met by chance.

Her gun has the ability to liquidate everything, which means that Violet has the initiative to examine the present. In Gong Li’s eyes, you can see all kinds of complicated emotions. She has become the carrier of recording history and is also burdened with very heavy things.

But can the survivors find a way out? Where is their way out? In the end, Lou Ye took the narrative back to the opening scene with a trick-like clip, and completed the closed loop of the film.

three

When it comes to expounding the background of the times, the text is often an empty shell, but the multiple spaces that spread outward from the drama can help the audience grasp the real historical atmosphere. The most commendable thing about Lanxin Grand Theatre is the creative integration of drama and reality. Ma Yingli adapted the original work into a smoky place, leaving a lot of blank space for "space presentation".

In Lanxin Grand Theatre, drama is centered on performance, and history is naturally "performative". To reproduce history is to arrange a performance, and Lou Ye made this film just as Tan Na arranged his play. The only common point of these two narratives is Gong Li, who is the only "authentic" existence.

Having said that, I have to go back to Yu Yan, played by Gong Li. She is a female character that rarely appears in similar movies. Women are rarely responsible for the heavy responsibilities, but Lou Ye simply walked all the way to the end, without setting a clear character, morality or position for Yu Yan. However, when she collided with the roulette wheel of history with her own flesh and blood, the audience was immersed in the moment when she was completely out of control.

Many people in the film have two faces. Facing the arena like a meat grinder, they feel at ease by tearing themselves into pieces and feeding them to all forces, but when the game is over, they will not survive.

The film also reveals the situation of Shanghai literary and art workers at that time. For example, Tan Na, who took the money from the Chongqing military junta, shot a left-wing drama and kept his "artistic job", but in fact he lost his dignity.

If you enter the cinema, Lou Ye’s fans will definitely not advise you to sit in the front row, because he prefers to use a lot of shaking motion shots, and the pictures are often blurred and dizzy.

However, there is no denying that the audio-visual aesthetics of Lanxin Grand Theatre is branded by a clear author. This style belongs to both director Lou Ye and photographer Jian Zeng. He used rain and smoke to create a changeable atmosphere, which actually made a black-and-white film look polished and polished.

Similar to Lou Ye’s previous works, "Lanxin Grand Theatre" is bound to face a polarized evaluation, but any impression is reasonable. Don’t say whether you like the film or not. Even "Do you like Lou Ye" has a very polarized answer, but is it worth buying tickets for the audience to watch? The answer is yes, at least Lou Ye has been trying to break through himself, which is pure as a filmmaker. In the mainstream film market in China, there are obviously not many such people.

The picture in this article comes from the Internet.

Fifty years ago, the ＂war＂ in the automobile industry： the unsuccessful acquisition of Ford and Ferrari.

Source: Tiger Sniffing APP
Original title: If you don’t sell yourself, I will hammer you.
Author: Sun Mingyuan
On May 21st, 1963, Don Fryer, Vice President of Ford, and many senior executives arrived in Maranello. In a small conference room, there were all Ford and a team of professional lawyers at one end, and Enzo Ferrari and several local lawyers at the other end. At first, it seemed to go smoothly, but suddenly Enzo put down his contract documents, took out his famous pen filled with purple ink from his suit and wrote on the left side of a paragraph: "No, I can’t accept this one!" "
(Enzo wrote "No, that‘s not OK" with a purple ink pen on the left side of the contract, originally in Italian)
Then the two sides went through a long negotiation, and finally Enzo said faintly to the lawyer on the side, "Come on, let’s go to dinner." Then he got up and turned away with the lawyer, leaving Ford and his party and the lawyer team looking at each other.
(Photo taken when Ford and his party signed a contract with Enzo Ferrari in 1963)
This means that Ford’s acquisition of Ferrari was a complete failure, and it also opened the curtain of the most touching "war" in the automobile industry in the last century.
prologue
In the 1960s, the hippie Beatles and the Rolling Stones were in full swing, and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) was just established. At this time, the automobile industry is in the development period, especially in the United States. Low oil prices and convenient highways have made the American automobile industry enter a high-speed development stage. The main theme of the United States at that time was "Nothing is impossible", and all industries were trying to break records and create miracles.
After World War II, because Edsel Ford (son of Henry Ford) died young, and Henry Ford was old, and the company’s political struggle and other reasons, Ford was faced with great difficulties, and its sales plummeted. The company urgently needed a new leader.
So in 1943, Henry Ford II (the eldest son of edsel Ford), who was still serving in the Navy during World War II, was "recalled" to work in Ford and became the CEO of Ford Motor Company two years later. Through a series of management reforms and personnel changes, he successfully "saved" Ford, turned losses into profits in a few years, and listed Ford in 1956, which was comparable to GM and Chrysler at that time.
Although the sales volume was increasing, Ford was generally regarded as "a car company for the elderly" at that time. Even though Americans agreed that Ford was reliable and durable, it lacked exciting features and was not suitable for young people.
(Ford Tudor in 1950s)
Ford hoped to seize the youth market, and the best way at that time was to participate in international automobile competitions as an advertisement to change the "old" brand impression, so he founded the racing project "Total performance Program", which was in charge of Don Fryer, then vice president.
When Ford II searched all the lists, he found the Ferrari that was "on sale" at that time. At that time, Ferrari almost dominated the world racing competition, and the most influential one was the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France.
(Starting characteristics of 24-hour Mountain Endurance Race)
In 1929, Enzo Ferrari founded Scuderia Ferrari in Modena (translated as "Ferrari Stable", literally translated as Ferrari stable, that is, Ferrari team). It is not difficult to see from the name that Enzo has only focused on the field of racing since he founded Ferrari. At first, Ferrari existed as a racing division of Alfa Romeo. Later, in 1933, it replaced the original internal racing division and became the racing division of Alfa Romeo.
Later, the company dissolved the Ferrari team and made Enzo the captain of the newly established Alfa Corse team. So on September 6, 1939, Enzo decided to leave Alfa Romeo and set up his own company. However, due to the agreement signed when he left, he was not allowed to participate in any competition or car production under the name of Ferrari for four years. Enzo first founded a company in the former site of Ferrari team, engaged in the production of aircraft parts and related tools, and then produced the first Ferrari racing car-TiPO 815 (without Ferrari logo) based on Fiat platform in 1940.
（Tipo 815）
In 1943, Enzo moved the factory to Maranello, and Ferrari has not changed its address since then. The car with Ferrari logo in the true sense is the 125 S produced in 1947, equipped with a 1.5-liter V12 engine, and Ferrari Motor Company officially "set sail".
（Ferrari 125S）
There is a joke called: "Ferrari without V12 engine is not called Ferrari at all."
The story behind this sentence is that Enzo never wanted to produce streetcars, nor did he want to compromise Ferrari’s proud V12 engine. But his son Dino didn’t think so. Dino had designed and developed Ferrari V6 engine and V8 engine, which was the source of V8 engine that Ferrari often used later. Although Enzo didn’t want to be disturbed by things outside the competition, the reality was cruel, and the funds needed to participate in the competition were amazing, so he had to compromise to produce streetcars to finance the team.
One is the American automobile empire, which is in urgent need of the injection of racing genes, and the other is the stubborn Italian racing fanatic, which is faced with huge funding problems. It seems to be a "hit it off" thing, but in fact Ferrari is "on sale" just because Enzo hopes to have capital inflow to ensure his racing career. So when Enzo saw that it was written in black and white "including the right to control and operate Ferrari cars", he turned down the $18 million acquisition contract without mercy.
(Enzo is dissatisfied with the content of the treaty, and the purple line is drawn.)
Ford II flew into a rage when the news of the failure of the negotiations returned to Detroit. Not only did Ford send Don Fryer, then vice president, to buy Ferrari, and spent nearly nine months in communication and negotiation, which cost more than $3 million in manpower and material resources, but finally only got a pile of "waste paper" on the table under Enzo’s back.
First battle Ferrari
The reason why Ford II was so angry was that his previous "efforts" went down the drain, and there was news that Enzo didn’t want to sell it to Ford at that time, just to show it to Fiat (Ferrari was acquired by Fiat in 1969), and Enzo once said to Ford II, "You are far less great than your grandfather Henry Ford."
（Henry Ford II）
In a rage, Ford II summoned all Ford’s right-hand men and gave a dead order: "Build me a car that can completely defeat Ferrari and conquer the French 24-hour Le Mans endurance race!"
At that time, Ford was not without racing experience, and Ford had achieved good results in American races such as Indy 500 and NASCAR. However, Le Mans Endurance Race is far away in Europe and France. The track is a daily road and only two lanes wide, with a lap of 8.3mile (about 13.357km), a total mileage of over 3,000 miles (4,828 km) and a top speed of up to 210 miles/h (338 km/h). It also faces various weather environments such as rain, fog and night during the 24-hour race. For Ford, this is tantamount to a novice challenge to Mount Everest.
(24-hour Le Mans Raceway)
So when Ford II said, "No matter how much it costs, I must win the XXX in Italy", many people thought this sentence was as unbelievable as President Kennedy’s "We are going to the moon".
In order to quickly adapt to European races, Ford found a small racing company in Britain-Lola Cars (a small company focusing on racing, located in Slough Industrial Park near London, the site is still there). They have European racing experience and existing mid-engine chassis, so they were hired to build chariots with Ford engineers.
However, time was too tight. In March 1964, it took only seven months, and the first prototype Ford GT equipped with a British chassis and a Ford engine came out. At that time, several drivers including Bruce Mclaren (founder of McLaren) did a lot of tests and improvements for GT, and initially solved many problems.
（Bruce Mclaren）
The extremely streamlined body is only 40 inches (1016mm) high, so it is named GT40. Equipped with the engine of Ford Indy 500, 4.2-liter V8, with about 350 horsepower, seems very promising.
（Ford GT40 Prototype）
However, in fact, due to the lack of experience in aerodynamic design at that time, the cooling air inlets designed at the front of the vehicle not only did not work, but also produced a lifting force, resulting in insufficient downforce of the vehicle. In April, 1964, Ford took the GT40 prototype to Le Mans Test Day. Although the speed was very fast, the whole vehicle had no stability and handling. Even on the straight track, it could lose its grip but slip and turn. This happened not just at the beginning, but at the speed of 170mile/h (about 273.6km/h).
The problem is not only in aerodynamics, but also in suspension. At that time, Ford didn’t understand why the vehicle was so unstable, because the GT40 crashed at the speed of 160mile/h(257.5km/h) that afternoon. Although Ford took two GT40s with him, the second one crashed the next day.
At this time, it was only two months before the 1964 Le Mans Endurance Race.
Despite the difficulties, Ford finally arrived at the Le Mans Endurance Race as scheduled with three GT40. On June 20, 1964, the race started as scheduled. Ford’s three GT40 took the lead in the second lap and even set an average speed record of 131mile/h/h (about 210.8km/h). However, in the end, all three cars failed to finish the race because of an accident or gearbox failure.
As a result, Ferrari won the championship for the fifth time in a row, beating Ford with the results of first, second and third place.
Fight Ferrari again
Ford II did not lose heart, but said, "We will come again next year and beat Ferrari!" "
After the first failure, Ford decided to let Carroll Shelby be the leader of GT40 project. Shelby is a famous American designer, racing driver and entrepreneur. He used to be a flight instructor and test pilot during World War II, and he worked as an oil worker and a chicken farm farmer after retiring. At first, as a racing amateur, he made amazing achievements in many races. In 1959, he won the 24-hour Le Mans Endurance Championship by driving aston martin DBR1.
(In 1956, Shelby took part in the Mount Washington Climbing Race in a Ferrari 375GP.)
Because Shelby suffered from heart valve leakage when he was 7 years old, he needed to take nitroglycerin for a long time to keep his heart normal. It is precisely because of this that Shelby was rejected by Ferrari as a driver. After 1959, Shelby stopped racing as a driver, but founded Shelby American Company in southern California, USA, whose business was to modify and produce racing cars. Because of the previous competition, he was very interested in a British company named AC Ace, and wanted to build a racing car with its chassis body and the developed V8 engine in the United States.
At that time, Corvette (owned by General Motors) rejected his request, but Ford extended an olive branch to him. Ford’s V8 engine at that time was not only able to generate powerful power in generate, but also very suitable for retrofitting and installing the chassis of existing AC Ace cars. In 1962, Shelby reached a cooperation with Ford and produced the first Cobra model in history-the famous AC Cobra 260.
（AC Cobra 260）
In fact, in 1964, when three Ford cars lost, Shelby American had a car (Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe) with a 4.7L Ford engine and finished the race in the fourth place. In addition, in 1963 and 1964, AC Cobra with the same engine finished the race in the 7th and 18th places respectively.
So when Ford lost the first Le Mans race, Shelby came to mind first. In addition, Shelby’s engineering team has talented engineers (such as Phil Remington) who come to F1 and other competitions, including New Zealand, Japan, Australia, Italy, France, Germany and Britain. "A very cohesive team," Ford II commented.
“Carol was a Can-do， Let’s-get-it-done kind of guy and very much like my father， Carol had a very outgoing personality and I think that my father（Henry Ford II） personality and carol’s personality meshed reasonably well．” "Carol is a highly effective and very capable person, much like my father. His personality is very cheerful, which coincides with my father’s personality and gets along very well. "-Edsel Bryant Ford II (edsel Ford II, son of Henry Ford II)
Of course, I have to mention another legend here-Ken Miles, a British automobile engineer, racing driver and one of Shelby’s close friends. He served as a tank commander during World War II, and participated in car races and made racing cars after retiring. In 1953, he won 14 consecutive victories in SCCA League by driving his own car. Because of similar interests, Shelby invited Miles to join Shelby American and become the chief test driver. Together, they built the famous AC Corbra and Shelby GT350.
(left Bruce Mclaren, right Ken Miles)
When Shelby received the heavy responsibility, he first asked Miles to test the GT40 in Riverside International Raceway in Southern California. As a result, several drivers said the same sentence after the test: "It’s bloody awesome, I hate it．."
The extreme instability of the vehicle and many problems have made the team sweat.
Next, the whole team began to work day and night, and even ate amphetamine as jelly beans. Starting with aerodynamics, the problem of body modeling is solved first; Then the original Ford 4.2-liter V8 engine was replaced by Ford 4.7-liter V8 engine, which improved the power a lot. Then the gearbox was replaced by a 5-speed gearbox made by ZF in Germany, and the reliability was improved. In addition, the cooling system, suspension, wheel hub, tires and other parts are modified and optimized. The new model GT40 Mk1 Daytona is almost the same as the original GT40 Mk1 (after the new model is released, the first generation of models participating in Le Mans will be called MK1 to distinguish different GT40, and then the code will be added later). You can even think that Shelby and Miles have applied many experiences from Shelby Daytona Cobra Coupe to GT40.
(1965 GT40 Mk1 Daytona)
The transformed GT40 Mk1 Daytona is indeed much better than before, and even won the 2000km endurance race in Daytona Continental, defeating Ferrari P2 driven by John Surtees (legendary driver, the only one who has won two and four world championships so far, and the oldest surviving F1 world champion). And won the second and third place in the next 12 hours of Sebring endurance race. However, due to problems such as gearbox, some races that GT40 Mk1 Daytona participated in later ended in failure.
(In 1965, three Ferrari cars crossed the line at the same time in the 24-hour Le Mans endurance race)
In 1965, the French 24 Hours Le Mans Endurance Race was held again. This time, six Ford GT40 (different versions) participated, but none of them was able to finish the race. Ferrari once again "humiliated" Ford’s ambition and won five consecutive championships.
Three wars Ferrari
So far, Ford has invested millions of dollars in the GT40 project, but none of the cars have completed the Le Mans race. Ford II is faced with a dilemma, either to give up the "war" with Ferrari and stop investing, or to continue to increase investment and "crash" Ferrari.
The answer given by Ford II was to send a card with a name to everyone involved in the project, and a sentence was written under the name: "You‘d better win! (In the interview, Shelby recalled "Ford wins Le Mans in 1966")
When Ford II handed the cards to the team members one by one, Shelby and several engineers asked, "What about the financial budget restrictions?"
Ford only replied: "You are only responsible for winning, and don’t worry about anything else!"
In order to continue to improve GT40, Myers and his team have invested thousands of hours in testing and research. The new GT40 Mk2 has further increased the engine displacement, from 4.7-liter V8 to 7.0-liter V8 (the engine used by Ford for NASCAR). Because of the engine with such a huge volume and power, the chassis structure has been strengthened, the suspension system has been upgraded, the cooling system has been optimized, and the braking system has been improved … The new GT40 Mk2 will no longer be extremely unstable, even at the speed of 210mile/h (about 338km/h), it is still rock-solid.
(GT40 Mk2, the one that Ken Miles drove in 1966 still exists in the world, worth more than 15 million pounds).
What is even more exaggerated is that Shelby, Myers and Ford team jointly developed a set of computer simulation equipment, which can simulate the whole gearbox working condition of Le Mans race. The reason why the gearbox has always been a "drag" before is that on the one hand, the engine power and torque have risen sharply on the existing power system, and the gearbox has not had enough time to verify its reliability; On the other hand, at that time, the Le Mans race had to shift gears nearly 9000 times, and it was easy to go wrong after 24 hours of continuous high-intensity use on the Le Mans track, which tortured the car. (For example, in 1965, several P2 models sent by Ferrari failed to complete the race because of the gearbox).
Although this set of gearbox simulation equipment later became the standard equipment in the development of F1 racing cars, it was almost witchcraft at that time. Through computer signal transmission, every gear shift in the whole Le Mans race is actually simulated, and the gearbox is also connected to the engine to simulate the real racing situation.
The date of the duel between David and Gliath is approaching.
The Italians didn’t stand still at this time. In order to cope with Ford’s menacing challenge, Ferrari took out the P3 model that had just been produced. The streamlined body is even more exaggerated than GT40, and the height of 37.4inch (about 95 cm) is even lower than GT40. At that time, the top speed of GT40 was a little more than 210mile/h/h (about 338km/h), while the top speed of P3 was only 190mile/h/h (about 305.8km/h). However, Enzo was willing to sacrifice some top speed for lightness and flexibility, so that P3 control would be better without accidents in the narrow track, and it would be possible to refuel in P room less times.
(Ferrari P3, now worth more than 20 million pounds)
On June 18th, 1966, Ford brought the Armada-8 GT40, 20 tons of spare parts, and a team of top racers (Kim Myers, Bruce McLaren, etc.).
Ford II was invited as the opening guest of that year’s Le Mans Endurance Race. With the flag waving in his hand, the race officially started. At first, Ford relied on strong speed to gain the lead, but when the time came, Ferrari regained the first and second positions with more flexible maneuverability and fuel economy.
(Ford II waves the flag and the game begins)
On the contrary, Ford was asked to strictly implement the strategy of "drive carefully, don’t be reckless" because of the painful memory of "bow and snake shadow" However, one person in the team ignored this instruction, and Kim Myers decided to give it a shot, constantly setting a shocking lap record and regaining the leading position from Ferrari.
The next morning, when the morning sun shone on Le Mans, France, three P3 cars brought by Ferrari either broke down on the side of the road due to mechanical failure or had a serious accident and had to retire.
On the afternoon of June 19th, three GT40MK2s passed the finish line side by side with the cheers of the audience and all Ford people, and won the first, second and third place, and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France in 1966, which shattered Ferrari’s dream of winning six consecutive championships.
(In 1966, three GT40 cars crossed the line at the same time)
This is a great victory that goes down in history, and it is also the most unforgettable moment in the history of automobiles, and it is also the starting point for Ford’s glory.
“It was one terrific time， one that could never repeat again．” ——Carroll Shelby
postscript
Ford, who was on a roll, successively won the following three French 24-hour Le Mans Endurance Championship, but it is a pity that Kim Myers, who helped Ford win all these dazzling achievements, failed to witness the subsequent glory.
（GT40 J-Car）
After Mk2′ s total victory, Ford did not stop, but continued to improve its aerodynamics and chassis. Two months after the race, when the test car GT40 J-car was tested at Riverside International Raceway in Southern California, Myers died in an accident, and his son witnessed it by the track.
（Ken Miles）
What is even more regrettable is that in the Le Mans race in 1966, because the victory was already locked, Ford hoped that the three cars could cross the line together and let the reporter take this unforgettable scene, so Myers slowed down and waited for the other two cars to catch up before crossing the line together. However, although Miles’ car passed the finish line first, the organizer suddenly put forward an unknown rule. Because Bruce McLaren’s parking space was a distance behind Miles’ car, according to the total length, McLaren won the first place. As a result, Miles missed out on the "Grand Slam" of the three most influential events (Le Mans, Sebring and Daytona) in 1966.
After the death of Miles, the project was suspended for two months. After that, Ford introduced a brand-new model GT40 Mk4, which has a brand-new body, suspension and brakes compared with Mk2, and a new model with big tires and brakes. In Le Mans linear track, it can be 50mile/h/h faster than Mk2 (about 80.5km/h), and it also uses a 7.0-liter V8 engine equipped with Mk2. (6200 rpm in 1st gear can accelerate to 144.8km/h)
（GT40 Mk4）
In 1967, when many people thought that Ford only won the race by "luck" last year, Dan Gurney drove the GT40 Mk4 to cross the finish line again in the first place.
On the podium, Gurney had a whim, throwing a long-shaken bottle of champagne at the crowd and reporters, becoming the first person in the history of racing to make this celebration, and this habit has been "used" to this day.
(Gurney sprayed champagne on the crowd at the award ceremony in 1967)
After that, Ford decided to withdraw from Le Mans. On the one hand, Ford has proved its strength and achieved the expected goal. On the other hand, FIA announced a new rule in 1967, "The engine displacement of participating vehicles should not exceed 5 liters". Gurney once joked in an interview: "Europeans know that if they don’t change the rules, they can’t take the championship from the Americans."
However, in the 1968 and 1969 French 24 Hours Le Mans Endurance Race, John Wyer (team manager when Shelby won the Le Mans championship in Aston Martin in 1959, left Aston Martin in 1963, joined Ford in 1964 and participated in the research and development process of GT40) changed the model with Ford GT40 Mk1 (4.9-liter V8 engine) in the name of his own company (JW Automotive Engineering).
When the rules were changed again in 1969, GT40 completely withdrew from the 24-hour Le Mans race in France.
Nowadays, it is difficult to calculate how much Henry Ford II invested in this battle. Some experts speculate that according to today’s monetary value, Ford spent about 360 million pounds to teach Ferrari a lesson.
If there were no political reasons for Ferrari’s team management, which led to the replacement of Ferrari’s legendary driver John Sutis before the race in 1966, it might be hard to say whether it would be won or lost that year. If Kim Myers hadn’t died young two months after that victory, perhaps Ford would have won more glory in the racing world. If …
In fact, there are countless ifs, but we just need to remember that carote Shelby and Kim Myers have made indelible contributions in this great "battle", and there are still many people’s contributions in the GT40 project. Ford II is definitely a great figure in the history of automobiles …
“I want my legacy to be I want to make sure those people are recognized， they were pioneers．”——Carroll Shelby
More than 50 years have passed, and that embarrassing legend has left us not only a legendary GT40, but also a splendid automobile culture.

Trey Yang’s younger brother, 13 years old, is over 1.80 meters tall! Fast and accurate shooting, can he enter the NBA？

Trey-Yang is the most popular fried chicken in the league, and Dancsics is also known as the peerless double arrogance of the same generation.

Since joining the Eagles, he has been selected to the All-Star team twice in five years, and also led the team to the Eastern Conference finals.

In the first round of the 2021 playoffs against the Knicks, Trey Young, who was only in the third grade at that time, led the team to the next level.

In that series, he disturbed the defense of the Knicks by himself, and then he was nicknamed "Mayor of new york".

As a professional athlete, Trey Young’s personal ability is beyond doubt.

But do you know that he also has a younger brother who plays basketball very well?

Trey-Yang’s younger brother, Timothy young, was born in 2010. Butre-Yang is 12 years younger, but in terms of figure, he tends to catch up with his older brother.

Recently, when I participated in the school competition, some media captured a photo of two brothers, Trey Yang, whose younger brother was obviously over 1.80 meters.

If this trend continues to develop, it will not be a problem to exceed 1.9 meters or even reach 2 meters in the future.

According to the data, Timothy young was assigned to the 2029 players and has not yet been rated.

But on the Internet, many actual combat videos about him have been circulated.

Like his brother Trey Young, Timothy young is also a defender, and he is also good at stopping three points after dribbling.

His body doesn’t look very strong, but at the moment of shooting, the movements are very smooth.

If you can practice three-pointers, it should not be difficult for Timothy young to enter the NBA.

Nowadays, society is paying more and more attention to the world. Brother Alphabet and brother of knight Mobry all got the contract through relationships.

Suppose Timothy young signed up for the election at the age of 19, that is, six years later, when Trey Yang Gang turned 30 and was at his peak.

Those teams with draft picks may sign Trey Young’s younger brother in order to please him.

What’s more, judging from the released game video, Timothy young’s ability is not bad, at least the basic skills are qualified.

At the same age, domestic players don’t have to stop jumping shots, and many of them can’t even move the ball smoothly. …

People are not immortals. It is a natural phenomenon to lose and win, so don’t take the outcome too seriously. If you win, you will be happy. If you lose, you will have some self-esteem for temporary failure.

After seeing these cards, are you ready to move? But watching others play cards and playing cards by yourself are definitely two completely different things. If you want to get started as soon as possible, I recommend a mahjong textbook "Illustrated Mahjong+Super Memory" for you.

This book is divided into two volumes. The first volume, Illustrated Mahjong, mainly explains in detail the design rules of mahjong tiles and several common ways of playing them. After you get to know them from the shallow to the deep, I will teach you some common routines of playing cards and some tips of card line analysis.

If you want to master a skill, then it is essential to have a theoretical foundation. Why do some people play mahjong all their lives, or are they said to play cards at random? It is because in the early theoretical study, I didn’t lay the foundation, set up the correct thinking of playing cards, and didn’t have a correct understanding of mahjong tiles.

If you want to play mahjong well, instead of simply joining in the fun, then I strongly recommend this book, which not only explains how to play mahjong for you. At the same time, it also straightened out your thinking of playing cards in the future, that is, helped you lay a solid foundation in the early stage.

Compared with many online gossips, this book is more authoritative, systematic and comprehensive. And summed up the playing methods of most kinds of mahjong cards in China, whether you want to learn southern mahjong or northern mahjong? The tutorials in it are all available.

The current situation of the three major wingers of Inter Milan is worrying. Is it feasible to return to the Nerazzurri？

Not all the players who left can always perform as well as they did at Inter, and not all the players who left can be as happy as they were at Inter. Today, three players are not as smooth as they were at Inter, and some don’t even know where they will play next season. Such an encounter can’t help but make Nella feel emotional.

First of all, let’s talk about Perisic. Last season, the performance of "Sabre" in Inter Milan was like a god’s help. He almost propped up the entire left of the Nerazzurri on his own, and he is also one of the core members of coach Inzaghi’s tactics, which is very important in Inter Milan. However, due to the expiration of his contract, the 34-year-old wanted to win a high-paying contract in the second year of his career. However, due to the financial pressure, the senior management of Inter Milan could not bear it. Finally, under the call of the old coach Kong Di, he chose to leave Italy and join Tottenham in the Premier League.

However, at Tottenham, Perisic can’t enjoy the tactical position when he was at Inter Milan. Even with Kong Di’s support, he has to abide by the dressing room order. In Tottenham, only Harry Kane and Sun Xingyu will always be the star players. On the court, Sun Xingyu has always been the exclusive "channel" on the left. In this position, he can exert his greatest energy. Last season, he even got the Premier League Golden Boot.

However, the appearance of sabre has squeezed Sun Xingyi’s living space on the court. Not only can they not play the effect of 1+1>2, but they even have a situation of mutual restraint. A large part of the reason for Sun Xingyi’s poor performance this season is that they have never been able to form a tacit cooperation.

Because of his unsatisfactory performance, Perisic has never been recognized by Tottenham fans, and even often becomes the target of fans’ attacks. For Sabre, who is used to enjoying cheers and applause at Inter Milan, only he can understand the taste.

With the exit from the Champions League, Kong Di, the coach of Tottenham Hotspur, is also facing a crisis of leaving school. There are rumors that he is likely to leave Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the season. Once Kong Di leaves the team, Perisic’s life at Tottenham will be even more difficult. Of course, he may also be purged by Tottenham, so his whereabouts next season will be in doubt. In such an embarrassing situation, it is no wonder that he will show his thoughts about Inter Milan from time to time on social media. It is said that he once told his former teammates that he regretted leaving. Recently, there are rumors that he wants to return to Inter Milan next season. I wonder if Inter Milan will accept him again.

Also showing regret to leave the team is Ashraf, who is currently playing for Greater Paris. Although Ashraf has an excellent performance in Paris, he seems to be unhappy, which is largely due to the tension in the dressing room in Paris. As we all know, the relationship between Neymar and Mbappé is not harmonious, which also affects everyone in the team. Ashraf is even regarded as Mbappé’s minion by the outside world, which will make him feel unhappy. After he eliminated Spain in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, he even shouted the slogan "Forza Inter" in a live webcast, which won a lot of attention from Nella and reflected his dissatisfaction with Paris.

In addition to the complicated dressing room, the Moroccan even got into a lawsuit of "sexual assault" recently, which caused him to fall into a huge scandal and trouble. Although he thought he was set up, he still had to bear the criticism from the fans before the judicial conclusion was reached. Once the court makes a ruling against him, I don’t know how he will respond at that time, and I don’t know if he will regret leaving Inter more.

In addition to these two men, Nella are still paying attention to another veteran, that is, Cancelo, who is currently playing for Bayern. Although Machete has only played for one season at Inter Milan, he has left a deep impression on the fans of Inter Milan, and it is at Inter Milan that he made a name for himself and grew into an excellent right-back.

After the winter window this season, Cancelo was loaned to Bayern Munich by Manchester City. After a short honeymoon, his situation in Bayern became more delicate. He has missed starting for six consecutive games and played less and less, which made him feel lost. Originally, Bayern had a buyout clause of 70 million euros in his lease contract, but in this situation, it is absolutely impossible for Bayern, who has always been shrewd, to exercise this clause. In this way, Cancelo will be returned to Manchester City. But in the Blue Moon, I am afraid there is no place for him. Maybe after returning to Manchester City, Guardiola will choose to put him on the market for sale.

So is it really possible for any of these three people to return to Inter Milan? Personally, I think it is possible, but it is more difficult.

First of all, in terms of social status, apart from Pericic, who is worth around 15 million to 20 million euros due to age, Ashraf and Cancelo are both worth more than 50 million euros. Such a high price is definitely not affordable for financially strapped Inter Milan. Once again, the annual salary, Perisic’s annual salary in Tottenham is as high as 6 million euros after tax, and Ashraf is as high as 8 million euros after tax in Paris, but Cancelo’s annual salary is only 2.5 million euros after tax, which is the lowest among the three. For Inter Milan, except Cancelo’s annual salary, the salaries of the other two have exceeded the salary ceiling.

In addition to economic reasons, from a competitive point of view, on the left side dominated by Pericic, now Inter Milan have Gohsens and Dimarco. After leaving the team with his sword, Dimarco has made great progress, and Gohsens is gradually recovering his state in Atalanta, so I am afraid there is no shortage of people in this position. Moreover, Pericic is 34 years old after all, and his one-year mentality of Tottenham will be affected to some extent, so the state geometry is also something that Inter Milan needs to consider. From this point of view, even if Perisic really wants to return, I’m afraid the Nerazzurri will have to think about it.

On the right, Inter Milan intends to release the main right-back dumfries this summer, and Bellanova may also be returned, thus creating a vacuum on the right, and Inter Milan is bound to find a suitable target in the transfer market. Although both Ashraf and Cancelo play on the right, it is almost impossible for Inter Milan to have enough funds to sign them because of their worth and high annual salary, but if their owners can accept the loan, there will be huge room for operation!

So will Paris and Manchester City agree to loan? Personally, as far as Paris is concerned, it is almost impossible. With Ashraf’s current ability and state, unless the "sexual assault" lawsuit reaches the point where he can’t stay in France, it is difficult for Greater Paris to give him up. Once the lawsuit really reaches the point of forcing Moroccans to leave the team, they will also choose to sell in exchange for funds, and it is almost impossible to let him leave the team by loan. Of course, if the official extreme to the point where he was jailed, then Paris is estimated to be directly terminated rather than sold.

Cancelo is the most operable, first of all, the attitude of Manchester City. Although I don’t know why Blue Moon loaned him out, it at least shows that Manchester City is open to his departure, and even the loan is acceptable. Secondly, the annual salary. Although Cancelo has outstanding ability, his annual salary is not high, and it is within the range that Inter Milan can afford (if the information I have found is correct), then Inter Milan is totally worth a try.

Of course, it depends on the player’s wishes. Of these three people, Cancelo’s feelings for Inter Milan may be the most difficult to judge, and besides feelings, there are many teams he can choose, even including Real Madrid and Barcelona. For professional players, feelings are one aspect, and career prospects are the most realistic one. Therefore, even if Inter do reach an agreement with Manchester City, it will take some effort to convince Cancelo.

Of course, the above words are only personal, just for the pleasure of Neila, so don’t take them seriously.
