11.98-14.88 million, the pre-sale price of Geely Xingrui is exposed, will you buy it?

The highest end of the compact model is that Volkswagen not only sells the most expensive cars, but also sells more than 20,000 cars per month. However, Geely Automobile, which has the reputation of being the "first brother" of its own brand, has launched a heavy-duty model-Geely Preface, which is benchmarking with Volkswagen. Without further ado, let’s talk about Geely Xingrui, which is now receiving constant praise.

According to the information we have so far, the first batch of Geely Xingrui has arrived in 4S stores all over China, and the pre-sale price of Geely Xingrui is also suspected to be 119.8-148.8 million yuan. This pre-sale price is basically the same as the price predicted by the media before. So will you pay for this Geely Xingrui? Note: the price is only a forecast, not necessarily the actual price, please take the actual price of the new car as the standard!

In terms of appearance, the whole vehicle adopts Geely’s latest design. Compared with previous Geely models, the front air intake grille has become more concise. The inside has changed from the original back shape to a vertical bar, and the shape of the outer three circles is the same as that of Geely LOGO. The full LED headlights adopt the far-near light design, and the daytime running is divided into three sections on the light eyebrows. The recognition is still quite high. The side of the car body is smooth and stretched, and there is a little slip back, and the rear looks very short. The tail feels a bit like a chrome strip in the middle of an oval taillight running through the left and right, and the exhaust ports on both sides below are actually fake. The real exhaust adopts a hidden design, but because the chassis height is relatively high, it doesn’t look like that on the whole. The feeling is very low.

It is worth mentioning that many netizens say that Geely Xingrui is a shell-changing Volvo S60. In my opinion, this is simply nonsense. Volvo S60 is a higher-end SPA platform model, while Geely Xingrui CMA platform architecture model can be understood as Geely version. As for the suspension, the former McPherson independent suspension and multi-link independent suspension are adopted. According to our previous test drive experience at Ningbo International Circuit, While Geely Xingrui emphasizes comfort, there are some European styles in suspension adjustment. When crossing the shoulder, the driver can feel its toughness, and the lateral support and rear tracking are good, which is still commendable.

The length, width and height of the car body are 4785/1869/1469mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2800 mm. This car body size also has a very good advantage in the same class, which is one circle larger than the popular size (the wheelbase of Volkswagen size 4753/1800/1462mm is 2731mm), which shows that Geely Xingrui has a spacious ride space in the car, thus meeting the needs of more consumers.

Compared with the appearance, the interior has more visual impact. The overall center console has distinct layers, and the materials and colors have been carefully thought out, showing a sense of luxury. The relatively sporty flat-bottomed steering wheel, full LCD instrument panel, central control display screen and electronic gear lever also enhance a lot of sense of technology in the car. I won’t talk much about the configuration and materials here, because the configuration and materials have always been the specialty of independent brands.

The whole engine compartment is neatly arranged, which also reflects Geely’s current high level, but it is not advanced without using hydraulic struts. The power is 2.0T+7DCT, and the maximum power is 140 kW, 190 HP and 300 Nm. The measured acceleration of 100 km is 8.2 seconds, which should be the strongest in the same price and class. Unfortunately, 8AT gearbox is not used. It must be to reduce the cost. This 2.0T engine needs to use 95 # gasoline.

Brother Shi focuses on the key points. From the details of this Geely Xingrui, its product strength can actually rank to the upper-middle level at this level, which is no exaggeration compared with the product strength of the public. Having said that, if this Geely Xingrui is on sale at 119,800, will you buy it? Welcome to leave a comment below. Looking for a car is just like looking for a friend. Look for the right one. I am happy to answer your questions about car selection, waiting for you to find me!

1.3T or 2.0? Nissan hacker engine selection guide-the advice of the maintenance master should not be missed.

When purchasing, many consumers are faced with a choice-whether to choose a 1.3T turbocharged engine or a 2.0 naturally aspirated engine? The opinions of many maintenance masters are very valuable here. After all, they have been in contact with various models for a long time and have a deep understanding of the actual performance and potential problems of vehicles.

First of all, from the perspective of power output, the 1.3T engine provides satisfactory power output by virtue of technology, especially in urban driving, which makes the power performance more flexible. As for 2.0, although the maximum power is not as good as that of 2.0, its output is more linear and the driving experience is more stable.

But this does not mean that 1.3T is completely better than 2.0. Maintenance masters usually suggest that 2.0 naturally aspirated engine may be more suitable for consumers who often drive long distances. Because of long-term high-speed driving, turbocharged engines may face overheating problems. At the same time, the pressure on the internal parts of the engine is relatively large, which may lead to higher maintenance costs in the future.

In terms of maintenance, the 2.0 naturally aspirated engine is relatively simple in structure, and the maintenance difficulty and cost are low. The maintenance of turbocharged engine, especially itself, may bring higher expenses. But it also depends on the usage and maintenance habits. Normal routine maintenance and avoiding extreme driving can greatly reduce the maintenance risk of turbocharged engines.

Economy is also a concern of many consumers. Generally speaking, the performance of 1.3T turbocharged engine is slightly better than that of 2.0 naturally aspirated engine, but it is also affected by driving habits, road conditions and other factors.

To sum up, choosing 1.3T or 2.0 mainly depends on your driving habits and needs. If you pay more attention to power and economy and drive mainly in cities, 1.3T may be more suitable for you. If you often drive long distances or pay more attention to maintenance costs, the 2.0 naturally aspirated engine may have an advantage. But no matter which engine you choose, regular maintenance and reasonable driving are the keys to ensure the long life of the vehicle.

The sunroof of Tiggo 7 high-energy version 1.6T four-wheel drive Royal+provides a wider field of vision, which can create a better visual environment and good sensitivity for the rear passengers and increase the light entrance for the whole vehicle. Among the models of the same price and class, the trunk volume of Tiggo 7 ranks 27th. The space is relatively regular, without obvious protrusions, and the overall loading capacity is good.

Chery Tiggo 7 is equipped with a combination of 1.6 turbocharged engine (direct injection) and wet dual clutch (DCT). 1.6 The power performance of the engine matched with the Tiggo 7 is quite satisfactory, the low torque is weak and the hysteresis can be felt.

Daily news digital newspaper platform

  Recently, a game called "cigarette card" has become popular, and this toy made of cigarette box cover has almost become the hot flow of some short video platforms. So how did "cigarette cards" become toys? Can "cigarette cards" be sold? Will it have a bad influence on children? With these questions, the reporter conducted an investigation.

  "cigarette card" spreads and sells the hardest hit areas.

  Mostly short video platforms.

  First of all, the reporter’s understanding of the "cigarette card" is in a short video in Tik Tok. A child rummages around the ground with a plastic bag, and the dialogue expresses that he is looking for a cigarette case on the ground. Then the boy skillfully tears open the cigarette case and folds the lid to make a "cigarette card". For how to use this game prop made of cigarette cases, a large number of video covers featuring children will appear immediately after entering "cigarette card" on the vibrato platform. The introduction of "smoke card" in different videos is also varied. The most conventional way of playing is to put the cigarette card on the ground and take turns to shoot it. Whoever can flip the other person’s cigarette card will win the other person’s cigarette card, and the more expensive the cigarette, the more advanced the cigarette card.

  The reporter found that in some short video platforms, there are also many self-media bloggers who shoot "smoke cards" to make videos, with thousands of praises. After searching for "cigarette cards" on Tik Tok, a large number of videos involving "cigarette cards" will appear, and most of the protagonists on the front pages of these videos are children. The number of likes of these "Smoke Card" videos featuring children even reached more than 100,000, among which a Tik Tok author with more than 1.5 million fans liked a video of "Smoke Card" up to 130,000. Another Tik Tok author’s video content is to encourage children to play with "cigarette cards", and specially bought cigarettes to make "cigarette cards" for children, with the caption "I feel very proud to collect so many cigarette cards in front of children at once".

  The reporter found that some publishers of these videos about "cigarette cards" hung up a link to sell "cigarette cards" in the lower right corner of the video. When you click in, you will find that it is actually a shop selling "cigarette cards", and the price ranges from 3 yuan to tens of yuan. Some merchants have marked slogans such as "First-hand goods, see who has more than me" and "There is a high probability of exploding rare cards, and my mother no longer has to worry about me going out to pick up cigarette cases".

  The reporter also noticed that the "cigarette card" was not only on the short video platform, but also on the e-commerce platform. After searching for "cigarette cards" on a shopping platform, it is found that there are many buyers of some goods called "out of print", "rare" and "cigarette cards", and the store with the highest sales volume on the homepage shows that "20,000+"has been sold. Searching for the same keyword on another shopping platform will show the goods that have been "spelled 1 million+pieces". On the Internet, the price of a "cigarette card" generally ranges from 10 cents to 50 cents, and some "rare models" are more expensive. Among them, the price of a card book containing 200 rare and non-repetitive cards is as high as 399 yuan. Most brands emphasize that they are "real cigarette cases, no printing" in a conspicuous position on the page, and most buyers’ comments are "children like them very much". However, the reporter also noticed that some buyers mentioned some problems in their comments, such as "cigarette cards", "some dirty, garbage recycling at first glance" and "obvious smoke smell".

  Wholesalers push hard.

  Stationery shopkeepers resolutely resist.

  In addition to these "cigarette cards" sold online, are there any "cigarette cards" sold in places where children can buy them in life? The reporter visited stationery stores near different primary schools such as Heping District, Nankai District and Hexi District, and found no cigarette cards for sale. During the interview, the female shopkeeper of the stationery store next to Pingshan Road Primary School in Hexi District told the reporter, "There are’ cigarette cards’ in the wholesalers, and they also told us that’ cigarette cards’ are particularly popular now, and they will definitely sell well. However, considering that everything related to cigarettes is not good, there are many children who come to buy things here, and we have to check for our parents and not sell everything. We think that thing is unsanitary, and the cigarette case is used to hold cigarettes, and it is all used up by others. How dirty it is. "

  Regarding the possible harm caused by the "cigarette card", will the "cigarette card" make children bury the possibility of smoking? A male shopkeeper who runs a stationery store near the Water Park Primary School in Nankai District said, "I will never sell that thing in my shop." He said that he smokes, and he has given up smoking many times without success. He absolutely does not allow his children to smoke. In his view, "cigarette cards" are being sold all over the internet, which means that some people are cultivating potential consumers, all know that smoking is harmful to health, and it is "too hateful" to seduce children to play with "cigarette cards".

  Bad Push of Short Video

  Parents feel that the hidden danger is huge.

  What is the impression of "cigarette card" among parents and children? The reporter interviewed the parents of Xikang Road Primary School in Heping District after school hours and talked about the "cigarette card". A parent who was picking up the child told the reporter that he knew that there was such a toy as "cigarette card" from his son, and his son also asked his father for a cigarette case to do it himself. He said, "When my son was in the fourth grade, I suddenly felt something was wrong when he asked for a cigarette case that day, so I asked him carefully. My son showed me a short video on his mobile phone showing you how to fold a cigarette case, so I didn’t let him see it at that time, telling him that cigarettes contain nicotine, which will make people sick." The parent said frankly, "Many popular games are now played in Tik Tok, and some should not be played for children at all. I now forbid our children to watch Tik Tok."

  This parent’s statement resonated with many parents. A parent with a girl at home showed reporters the short video records that his children had browsed on his mobile phone, including the push of "cigarette cards". This parent feels that some short video platforms now start to push regardless of good or evil after collecting personal big data, and the "smoke card" is also on fire. He said: "Because the children in primary school are still young, the possible negative effects on cigarette cards while playing games cannot be distinguished and resisted, so schools and parents should intervene in time once they find out."

  The sale of "cigarette cards" is suspected of being illegal.

  There is a ban on the education department.

  The reporter learned by inquiring about the relevant legal provisions that according to the relevant provisions of the Regulations on the Implementation of the Tobacco Monopoly Law of People’s Republic of China (PRC), the trademarks cut off from discarded cigarette cases, that is, the items called "cigarette cards" by children, are not allowed to be sold by merchants in any way. At the same time, the tobacco monopoly law clearly stipulates that the trademark logo of tobacco products must be printed by enterprises designated by the provincial administrative department for industry and commerce, and non-designated enterprises may not print the trademark logo of tobacco products. The Law on the Protection of Minors also stipulates that there should be no sales outlets for cigarettes, alcohol and lottery tickets around schools and kindergartens, and it is forbidden to sell cigarettes, alcohol and lottery tickets to minors or pay lottery prizes.

  According to media reports, at the end of March this year, law enforcement officers of Haikou City Supervision Bureau of Hainan Province conducted special inspections on the sales of "cigarette cards" in stationery stores and toy stores around schools in their jurisdiction. On April 7th, the Education Bureau of Sanya City, Hainan Province issued "Important Tips for Preventing Students from Addicting to" Cigarette Card "Games", which made it clear that "Cigarette Card" comes from discarded cigarette cases, and collecting it around and carrying it with you may endanger students’ physical and mental health; In addition, students may enlighten their gambling consciousness in the game and have interest and curiosity about smoking. Parents are requested to cooperate with the school to prohibit "cigarette cards" from entering the campus. Once the school finds that students bring "cigarette cards" into the school or find that students are playing "cigarette cards" on campus, it can immediately stop and confiscate the "cigarette cards" on the spot, and at the same time conduct oral education and give feedback to parents.

China in the Internet Age

 

  In 1969, when the Internet first appeared, people never imagined that it would penetrate into all fields of economic and social life with its unstoppable trend 30 years later. Nowadays, the gradual integration of the Internet and traditional industries and the increasingly blending of industrial boundaries have given birth to a new model of industrial development led by the Internet. With the rapid development of modern information network technologies such as big data and cloud computing, the Internet has further intensified the changes in the world economy, built a global industrial innovation and commercial marketing network, and will continue to be the main engine to promote economic and social development and lead the world to the future. On April 20, 1994, China fully accessed the Internet through the 64K international dedicated line, which opened the Internet era in China and became an indispensable part of the work and life of hundreds of millions of people. China has become a veritable Internet power.

 

  Internet has penetrated into all fields of social life.

  How people’s lives are internetized? Let’s first look at a set of data. According to CNNIC data, in 2003, the number of netizens in China was 79 million, and the Internet penetration rate was 4.6%.

The development of mobile Internet is advancing by leaps and bounds. In 2015, the number of mobile Internet users in China was 620 million, with a penetration rate of nearly 90%, which was 30 percentage points higher than that in the world. From the early days of sending e-mails, publishing and inquiring information through the Internet, it has gradually developed into social chatting with QQ, WeChat, online shopping, online map navigation, etc., and the Internet has penetrated into all fields of people’s lives. In 2015, the number of online education users in China reached 110 million, accounting for 16% of netizens; The number of Internet medical users is 152 million, accounting for 22.1% of netizens. The number of online taxi booking users is 96.64 million, and the number of online car booking users is 21.65 million. The inclusive, convenient and sharing characteristics of the Internet have penetrated into the field of public services, accelerated the application of socialization, innovated social governance methods, improved the level of public services, and promoted the improvement of people’s livelihood and social harmony.

China has set off a wave of online movie shooting. According to industry insiders, online movies will be on an equal footing with cinema films in the future, even surpassing traditional cinema films.

  Internet has become the standard of all working departments, from government departments to enterprises, it is more and more widely used to obtain information, process documents and all kinds of exchanges and transactions. According to CNNIC data, by the end of 2015, the proportion of enterprises in China using computers for office work was 95.2%, the proportion using the Internet was 89.0%, the proportion using the Internet through fixed broadband access was 86.3%, and the proportion using mobile broadband was 23.9%. In addition, the proportion of online sales and online procurement is 32.6% and 31.5% respectively, and the proportion of marketing promotion activities using the Internet is 33.8%. Enterprises widely use a variety of internet tools to carry out communication, information acquisition and release, internal management, business services and other activities, and a considerable number of enterprises have applied systematic and integrated internet tools to the whole business processes such as production research and development, procurement and sales, financial management, customer relations, human resources, etc., and transformed the Internet from a single auxiliary tool into enterprise management methods and transformation ideas to help supply chain reform.

  In recent years, the Internet economy has developed rapidly. China’s Internet economy was born in the mid-1990s. Tencent, Baidu and Alibaba were the pioneers and main forces in the development of China’s Internet economy in the early days. Later, Internet companies such as Qihoo, Sina, JD.COM and Renren appeared. At present, BAT (Baidu, Ali and Tencent) has become an internationally renowned Internet giant. Alibaba’s e-commerce enterprises such as Taobao, Tmall, Alipay, JD.COM, Suning and other related service enterprises such as logistics and distribution, warehousing, and network design have formed a new e-commerce ecosystem, leading to the construction of a big platform and a big channel for Internet consumption, so that consumers can shop and consume through the Internet. Relevant data show that in 2015, the scale of e-commerce transactions in China was 20.6 trillion yuan, of which the online retail transaction volume was 3.88 trillion yuan, which was 20.9 percentage points higher than the growth rate of total retail sales of consumer goods in the same period, accounting for 10.8% of the total retail sales of consumer goods. The number of consumers who used online shopping reached 413 million, making it the largest online retail market in the world for three consecutive years. It is estimated that the online retail market in China will reach 6.5 trillion yuan by 2018. And cross-border electronic commerce has become a beautiful landscape. In 2015, the cross-border e-commerce transaction volume exceeded 5 trillion yuan, accounting for 18% of the import and export trade. It has initially realized "buying the world and selling the world" through the Internet, and China residents can buy products from all over the world without leaving home.

 

  Internet promotes a new model of industrial development.

  As early as 2010, the White Paper "The Internet Situation in China" mentioned that the government and people of China are welcoming the arrival of the Internet era with a positive attitude, and China regards the development of the Internet as a major opportunity to promote the cause of reform, opening up and modernization. In essence, the penetration of the Internet into industries is to endow traditional industries with more attributes, raise traditional industries to a new level, and form a qualitative leap of industrial synergy, that is, the original non-Internet business will have a qualitative change of cross-border integration after being connected with the Internet, and this qualitative change is not only to improve efficiency, but also reflected in industrial restructuring.

Many shops in China have posted convenience notices supporting fast payment methods such as UnionPay payment, Alipay payment and WeChat payment.

  Internet promotes the transformation from China manufacturing to China intelligent manufacturing. Through the integration of the Internet and industrial manufacturing, we will lead the manufacturing industry to "digital, networked and intelligent" transformation and upgrading. Germany’s "Industry 4.0" and America’s "Industrial Internet Alliance" all use the advantages of the Internet to enhance the value creativity of industry. The essence of "Made in China 2025" is to realize the progress from an industrial power to an industrial power through the polymerization and fission of the Internet and industry. Relevant data show that in 2014, about 46% of the global output in the global economy benefited from the industrial Internet. By 2020, the global expenditure on the industrial Internet will reach 500 billion US dollars, and by 2030, the industrial Internet will contribute 15 trillion US dollars to the global GDP. Haier’s digital interconnection factory is a typical case. Since 2012, Haier has planned to build a digital interconnected factory. By subverting and upgrading the traditional production mode, it has created an interconnected factory system with on-demand design, on-demand manufacturing and on-demand distribution, so that the whole manufacturing process can be highly flexible and meet the needs of personalized customization. At present, Haier has built four world-leading demonstration interconnected factories, including Shenyang refrigerator and Zhengzhou air conditioner. "Economic Daily" pointed out in the report that Haier’s exploration of the connected factory is to fully meet the individual needs of users around the world. The evaluation given by Xinhua News Agency is, "Behind Haier is the first landing of’ internet plus Household Appliances’. After ten years of exploration, Haier, who is reborn and full of’ interconnected taste’, is ready to come out. "

  The Internet helps agricultural modernization, integrating the Internet and information technology such as perception, transmission, control and operation into all aspects of agricultural production, processing and sales, and realizing the intelligence, standardization and standardization of agriculture, namely, intelligent agriculture mode, agricultural e-commerce mode and Internet agricultural industrial chain mode. Its function not only enables Internet technology to transform agricultural production links and improve agricultural labor productivity and production level, but also uses Internet technology to control the whole production and operation process to ensure product quality, and even uses Internet technology to carry out innovative design of product marketing, so as to realize the traceability of the whole process of agriculture and the intelligent and networked operation of the whole industrial chain. The Internet brings new data, information and new technical means, which makes all links in the agricultural industrial chain and all market segments in the agricultural field have more tools, conditions and possibilities for innovation. Such as the application of Internet of Things in planting and animal husbandry, the application of remote sensing monitoring technology in grassland and fishery, the application of RFID technology in aquaculture, and the application of GPS technology in agricultural machinery. In addition, there are several obvious innovations in Internet agricultural business model, such as: agricultural materials e-commerce, land circulation e-commerce, urban and rural circulation channel reform, agricultural products e-commerce, agricultural big data, agricultural Internet of Things, leisure agriculture Internet platform and so on.

  The Internet has changed the development mode of the service industry. Through Internet transmission and big data, the Internet has penetrated into all fields of the service industry, giving birth to many integrated network service platforms and emerging service models such as O2O. Only Alibaba, its business scope has involved e-commerce, social networks, logistics, finance, tourism, navigation, video entertainment, medical care, education, culture, sports and many other service industries. Around mobile social networking, O2O, LBS, etc., service companies have also developed and launched various applications, including online shopping, group buying, food, life information, maps, travel, weather, navigation, health, movies and so on. "internet plus Communication", QQ, WeChat, Momo, etc. appeared; "internet plus Traffic" has appeared taxi software such as Didi Kuaidi; The intelligent circulation of "internet plus Logistics" makes intelligent logistics scheduling, intelligent logistics rhythm control and intelligent warehouse storage by using information network management and injecting intelligent data analysis. Internet medical treatment includes health education, raw material information inquiry, electronic health records, disease risk assessment, online disease consultation, online registration, online prescription and so on. Internet education has created various P2P interactive and intelligent education platforms, such as Yizuowang. In addition, there are various new service modes based on the Internet, such as Internet tourism and Internet catering.

  The Internet has given birth to a new model of inclusive finance and banking services. Through the Internet platform and payment technology, financial institutions are directly connected with enterprises or individuals, which promotes the internetization of financial institutions, enhances their competitiveness in channels, data and technology, and enables Internet enterprises to participate in financial services, enriching traditional financial systems and products, and promoting inclusive finance, thus improving the productivity of the whole industry and promoting the enrichment of financial ecology. At present, the specific models include: internet finance, online payment, P2P network credit, internet banking, crowdfunding financing platform and so on. Its essence is to combine financial services with internet factors, use internet thinking, build a new model of internet financial services, and bring more benefits to financial consumers. At present, all the major banks in China have launched a banking service model led by Internet technology. For example, Ping An Bank has specially set up a network finance division, and built Internet portals for four major customer groups, including Orange E-Net, Pocket Bank, Orange Bank, Bank E-Link and Golden Orange Club. On orange e-net, users can join up with upstream and downstream trading partners to complete online order, online receipt and delivery, online settlement and cancellation of orders, and can carry out online financing, online insurance, investment and wealth management, capital appreciation and other financial management. The whole platform is open to customers free of charge, which greatly reduces the operating costs and financing costs of SMEs.

  The Internet promotes the formation of a unified national market. The internet plus Research Report of Ali Research Institute pointed out that the combination of the Internet and the retail industry promoted the formation of a unified e-commerce market, released huge domestic consumption potential, and promoted the leap-forward development of China’s circulation industry in covering geographical scope and population. At the same time, thanks to the revolution of trading technology and business model, the efficiency and level of the circulation industry have been significantly improved by the Internet. Through the natural attribute of "distance-independent", the Internet has smoothed out the gap between systems and policies in different regions of the country, constructed unified access conditions, trading rules, credit systems, IT services, finance and logistics systems, and formed a de facto unified national market. Ali Research Institute estimates that the transaction efficiency of online retailing is four times that of physical retailing. At the same input cost in 1 yuan, the transaction volume of goods completed by physical retailing is 10.9 yuan, while that of online retailing is 49.6 yuan. The combination of the internet and the circulation industry has greatly released the consumption in the central and western regions and remote areas. Relevant data show that in 2015, the development of e-commerce and express logistics in the central region rose rapidly, and the year-on-year growth rates in Henan and Anhui even exceeded 70%.

 

  Internet facilitates people’s life.

  With the penetration of the Internet into the medical industry, new modes of Internet medical care are constantly emerging, including the registration network to solve the registration problem, the invention of various wearable devices, the APP to manage chronic diseases, and the online consultation of experts and doctors. On December 7, 2015, Wuzhen, Zhejiang Province took the lead in the emergence of the first Internet hospital in China. At present, there have been tool websites represented by registered websites and "360 Good Doctors Search" in the Internet medical industry. Consulting websites represented by "Spring Rain Pocket Doctor", "Seeking medical advice" and "Answering questions"; Major disease triage and referral websites represented by Good Doctor Online. In addition, there are 39 Health Net, which focuses on health education and information, 120ehr Net, which focuses on the collection and application of electronic health records, Yikang Net, which focuses on disease risk assessment, and Lilac Garden website, which focuses on professional doctor information. People can see a doctor at home, and they can make an appointment online in advance to go to the hospital, eliminating the distress of "No.1 is hard to find".

  In the early days, the penetration of the Internet into the travel industry was mainly traditional car rental, special car, driving and other services. Later, carpooling and other services that can realize service sharing gradually appeared, and services were constantly innovated and upgraded. At present, most people have downloaded travel software such as Didi and Uber on their mobile phones, so it is fast and convenient to go out and call a car. In 2015, the proportion of Internet booking for passenger travel by air and railway in China was about 78% and 68% respectively, and the number of users who booked through the Internet exceeded 60%, which was steadily increasing. On the highway side, many highway travel platforms have extended their tentacles to personalized passenger transport business. According to public data, the 12308 national bus ticket is the largest cross-city O2O travel platform in China, which has been extended to 6,391 bus stations in 26 provinces, more than 3,000 cities in China, with the scale of operating lines reaching 3 million/day, and each ticketing cycle (based on 5 days) can put more than 700 million guest resources into the market. In addition, Internet travel platforms such as Ctrip.com, Tuniu.com, and Mama Donkey enable people to book hotels, travel pick-up stations, park tickets, etc. before traveling, and people can enjoy all-round intimate services through the Internet.

Can Trump immediately end the Russian-Ukrainian war when he takes office? This may be an illusion.

Original Zhao long’s bottom line thinking

Text/Observer Network columnist Zhao Long

Deputy Director and Researcher, Institute of Global Governance, Shanghai Institute of International Studies

Since the beginning of the year, the mentality changes of the United States, Europe, Russia, Ukraine and other parties about the Ukrainian crisis have gone through several obvious stages. On the one hand, "Ukraine can’t lose" is still the clearest target bottom line for the United States, Europe and Ukraine; On the other hand, strategic anxiety and war fatigue are constantly affecting social and political consensus, especially reflected in the domestic political agenda of some countries.

In this context, is a "long ceasefire" equal to a "long peace"? How to define the standard of victory and failure? How to evaluate the future applicability of "East-West Germany" and "Peninsula Model" in Ukraine is no longer a taboo topic discussed by all parties.

After Trump won the election, his campaign slogan of "ending the Ukrainian crisis within 24 hours" ignited the expectations of all parties for a ceasefire.

On November 16th, local time, Ukrainian President Zelensky said in an interview with the media that he was convinced that the war would end "faster than before" after Trump took office, and Ukraine would "make every effort to ensure that the war would end next year".

It is undeniable that in the Trump 2.0 period, Russia and Ukraine resumed some form of contact and even started ceasefire negotiations, which is worth looking forward to. To put it simply, Trump’s position on the Ukrainian crisis may include three aspects:

First, by threatening to interrupt aid, Ukraine was forced to return to the negotiating table and asked to make non-sovereign compromises on territorial issues;

Second, let Europe bear more economic costs, including expanding the procurement of American weapons to aid Ukraine and the main part of the funds needed for post-war reconstruction in Ukraine;

The third is to "freeze conflicts" based on Russia’s actual control line and persuade Russia to complete the transaction.

However, there seems to be some illusion that Trump can quickly end the war. In fact, Trump’s return is a necessary condition for Ukraine to achieve peace, but it is not a sufficient condition. Because although all parties support the resumption of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, there are many differences on what to talk about and how to talk about it.

For example, Europe insists that negotiations must be "beneficial to Ukraine", while Russia emphasizes "based on territorial reality" and the Istanbul Consensus in April 2022. Countries in the south of the world emphasize a ceasefire as soon as possible from the perspective of reducing casualties. According to the experience of various regional conflicts and local wars in the past, after the parties resume contact, they still need to complete a temporary ceasefire, start negotiations, establish a demilitarized zone, sign a ceasefire agreement, and establish an international supervision mechanism, so as to achieve lasting peace.

At the same time, the huge casualties suffered by Russia and Ukraine on the battlefield in the past three years and the contradiction of sovereignty over 18% of Ukraine’s total territory have determined that it is difficult for a single country or individual to achieve a ceasefire and stop the war on its own.

For Trump and his "MAGA" (Make America Great Again) line, reducing the economic cost paid by the American people for the Ukrainian crisis is the core concern. If Europe is willing to bear more economic costs and increase the purchase of American weapons to aid Ukraine, Trump may not exclude the Ukrainian crisis from continuing in a low-intensity way for the sake of maximizing his own interests. Even if the United States completely stops aid, Europe’s commitment and determination to support Ukraine cannot be underestimated, including continuing to break through legal disputes and using frozen Russian assets to aid Ukraine.

What’s more, the "peace plan" proposed by Trump and his team involves "establishing a demilitarized zone according to the existing contact line, Ukraine’s commitment not to join NATO within 20 years, and establishing a ceasefire monitoring mechanism with the participation of a third party". These potential plans have been discussed many times in various second-track dialogues, and they are not very creative new ideas. Among them, European countries, not the United States, are responsible for supervising the implementation of the ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, and the vague statements on sensitive issues such as territorial control and ownership have led all parties to question the enforceability of the "peace plan."

For Russia, compared with the political and economic costs caused by the delay of the war, a simple "freezing conflict" may not be the best option. Before Trump takes office, Russia may launch a new wave of offensive against Ukraine, and set the main goal as to recover the "lost land" in Kursk region, and strive to limit the focus of future negotiations to the areas that Russia has not controlled in the four eastern Ukrainian States, instead of simply ceasing fire according to the actual contact line.

The most important thing is that Putin and the establishment forces in Russia have absolute distrust of the United States and Europe and will not be easily satisfied with signing the 3.0 version of the Minsk Agreement under the political commitment of the United States and Europe. This is why the future peace plan cannot be limited to the coordination between Russia, Ukraine, the United States and Europe, and other countries need to participate.

On November 19, local time, some pictures of the explosion of GRAU armory appeared on overseas social platforms.

It is worth noting that out of concern that Trump may force Ukraine to compromise with Russia after taking office, Biden will not only consider how to characterize the Ukrainian crisis as a "legacy" in the last two months of his administration, especially how to unite allies to contain Russia’s achievements, but also pay attention to how to create a "trap", vigorously promote NATO to fulfill its existing military aid commitments, and strengthen Ukraine’s offensive and defensive capabilities on the battlefield and its negotiating position outside the battlefield.

At the same time, Biden may tolerate or even let the limited controllable escalation of the battlefield, preventing Trump from making a deal with Russia as a "abandoned child". Recently, Biden’s lifting of Ukraine’s restrictions on using long-range weapons aided by the United States to attack targets in Russia is an example of this change in position. On November 19th, the "RBC- Ukraine" news agency quoted an insider of the Ukrainian army as saying that the Ukrainian army had used ATACMS to attack a military facility near Karachev, Bryansk, Russia.

At the same time, the military cooperation between Russia and North Korea has aroused great concern from all sides at a critical period when the Ukrainian crisis may enter "talking while fighting".

Theoretically, the military cooperation between Russia and the DPRK under the framework of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Treaty belongs to the category of bilateral relations in nature, and the article 4 of the Treaty concerning "military mutual assistance" cannot be simply equated with the NATO standard "military alliance". According to the Treaty, when Russia and the DPRK provide military assistance to each other in the face of aggression or in a state of war, it is necessary to comply with Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations and relevant domestic laws.

Judging from the background and content of the signing of the Treaty, it remains to be seen whether military cooperation based on similar environmental perception, interest perception and strategic needs can solve the shortcomings of the fragility and singleness of mutually beneficial relations.

On November 16th, the Financial Times quoted the Ukrainian intelligence assessment report as saying that North Korea had provided Russia with 50 170mm M1989 self-propelled howitzers and 20 upgraded 240mm multi-barrel rocket launching systems. The picture shows the "main gun" shot in Russia.

For China, such cooperation may strengthen the linkage between "European security" and "Asian security", and provide more "reasons" for NATO members in Europe to strengthen their substantive presence in the Asia-Pacific region. If the military cooperation between Russia and the DPRK goes beyond the geographical restrictions, it may break the consensus that a third country does not directly intervene in the Ukrainian crisis, causing concern about the spillover of the battlefield and the escalation of war.

Considering the high political sensitivity of this issue, it is believed that Russia will give priority to its own territory in positioning military cooperation, and may refer to the mode of NATO’s military advisers, technicians and various mercenaries and volunteers stationed in Ukraine to create a "gray zone" for military mutual assistance, so as to avoid sending North Korean soldiers to eastern Ukraine to directly participate in combat, thus triggering a qualitative change in the Ukrainian crisis.

What needs to be made clear is that China’s main concern is to ensure that there will be no war and chaos on the peninsula and that the "battlefield will not spill over, the war will not escalate, and all parties will not fire" in the Ukrainian crisis.

Since creating the image of "President of Peace" may become one of the main contents of Trump’s political legacy, he may seek positive interaction with China in order to promote the Ukrainian crisis, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the relaxation and stability of the situation on the peninsula after taking office. The dialogue between China and the United States on these international and regional hot issues is also expected to become a lubricant for the fierce struggle between the two countries on issues such as economy, trade, science and technology.

But frankly speaking, Trump’s interest in bringing China into the Ukrainian peace process may be limited until his unilateral "persuasion and promotion of talks" encounters resistance or even fails.

Big Data Center: the "Granary" in the Internet Age

The Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee meeting of the Communist Party of China pointed out that "speeding up the construction of new infrastructure such as 5G networks and data centers" has aroused great concern from all walks of life. Traditional infrastructure refers to railways, highways, bridges, water conservancy projects and other large buildings, which is often referred to as "Iron Gong Ji". The "new infrastructure" refers to the infrastructure construction focused on science and technology, covering 5G, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet, etc., with a wider scope, which can better reflect the characteristics of the digital economy and better promote the economic transformation and upgrading of China.

What does "new infrastructure" mainly include? Where is the "new"? What is the important role in stabilizing the economy? What changes will it bring to social development and the lives of ordinary people?

The importance of big data centers has become increasingly prominent.

In the era of mobile Internet, data traffic is increasing. Last year, the average monthly traffic of mobile Internet users in China was 7.82GB, 1.69 times that of 2018, and enterprise data also showed explosive growth. However, at present, less than 2% of enterprise data is stored, of which only 10% is used for data analysis. This shows that there is a big gap in China’s data storage and utilization capacity. In this context, the importance of big data center, namely IDC, has become increasingly prominent. Big data center is the center of data storage, processing and interaction, and is considered as one of the new infrastructures at present. Wang Peng, vice president of CCID Research Institute of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, said that especially during the COVID-19 epidemic, some new Internet business models emerged, and the importance of big data centers was further enhanced. "These business models are driven and supported by technologies such as the Internet and artificial intelligence. In this process, there will definitely be more data flowing on the Internet, whether it is structured, such as usual data statistics, reports, etc., or unstructured, like video and audio, data is generated in large quantities, more and faster than in the past, so the importance of big data centers is further enhanced." Wang Peng said.

Big data centers have huge room for development.

The data shows that at present, 40% of IDC cabinets in the world are in the United States, and only 8% in China, while the number of Internet users in China is obviously more than that in the United States, which means that there is a lot of room for the development of big data centers. Wu Hequan, an academician of China Academy of Engineering, predicts that the cumulative IDC market in China will exceed 1 trillion yuan from 2020 to 2025. He said: "The construction of a big data center is a long industrial chain, including servers, routers, switches, optical modules, as well as power supply, software, networks and computer rooms. In addition, for the IDC industry chain, what is more important is IDC integrated operation and maintenance, as well as’ cloud service providers’ and solutions. "

From a global perspective, technology giants such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, and Facebook are all vigorously building big data centers and investing heavily. A data center planned to be built in South Korea will also set a record for the largest local private investment. The number of servers in some super-large data centers is usually more than hundreds of thousands, but the server room is not the most "burning money" place. "In fact, the computer room only accounts for more than 10% of the investment in the big data center, and the greater investment is in the power supply system. It must ensure very reliable power supply and ensure that the efficiency of the power supply is quite high. Another big investment is in the refrigeration system, which requires sophisticated air conditioning. In addition to power supply and refrigeration, there are also investments in lightning protection, security, disaster recovery, environmental monitoring, and integrated wiring. " He Hezhen said.

Where is the "new" big data center?

In recent years, with the development of cloud computing, big data centers have been upgraded to "cloud data centers", which are characterized by highly virtualized servers, storage, networks and applications, and users can call various resources as needed. The data center has gradually become a universal "granary" for big data, cloud computing, industrial Internet and artificial intelligence. "The new generation of information infrastructure is not only a new infrastructure, but also a strategic emerging industry. It is also a new market for information consumption. It is also a general supporting technology for new infrastructure in other fields and a new engine for digitalization of traditional industries." He Hezhen said.

At present, China’s data center construction has blossomed everywhere, and many cities have formulated data center construction plans and introduced a number of preferential policies. According to the statistics of China ICT Institute, the number of IDC racks in China is expected to increase to 3.26 million in 2020.
