Brand-new red flag E009 exposure, pure electric coupe, a bit like Tesla.

BYD, Zero Run, Tucki and AITO appeared at the Paris Motor Show in 2024, which really showed the strength of independent new energy brands. However, the appearance of the new car was the symbol of the highest etiquette, not only in Paris, but also in pre-sale with EHS7, with the pre-sale price of 49,999 euros and 53,999 euros respectively.

In addition, the domestic market, Hongqi Automobile, continues to deepen the new energy market. Recently, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has exposed the application information of a number of brand-new models, including the brand-new FAW, which is designed and built based on the pure electric platform HME of Hongqi Tiangong, and will be put on the market as soon as possible. It is not excluded that it will be launched at the Guangzhou Auto Show.

Different from the "fake smiling face" of Hongqi EH7, Hongqi E009 adopts a brand-new design language, but it is similar to the previous concept car, with a completely closed front face and slender blackened headlights. The obvious change is that the new car has redesigned the shape of the front enclosure, which is more fashionable and sporty.

The new car is positioned in a medium-sized and large car, and adopts a slip-back shape, which is considered as a dynamic coupe. There is an iconic semaphore logo on the front face, with a taillight with a 7-shaped tail, and a semaphore wheel and a side semaphore on the fender are optional, but if you don’t look at these, from some angles, it is still a bit Tesla.

The interior has not been announced yet, but according to the application information, the maximum power of the motor to be carried by the new car is 210kW, which is provided by Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited. As for the battery life, it depends on the specific configuration information.

Finally: FAW Hongqi is bound to transform into a new energy source, but now it seems that the style is not obvious enough, and of course the price advantage is not great.

Biden’s support rate has dropped to 42%, and 70% of Americans think that the country is "going the wrong way". The US media lamented that the status of the United States in the world is collapsing!

  [Global Times reporter Lin Ri Chen Kang Liu Yupeng] "More than 70% (71%) of Americans think that the United States is going the wrong way." The latest opinion poll released by National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) on October 31st local time shocked many American media. The poll results also show that the support rate of US President Biden has been "steadily declining", and his latest support rate is only 42%. In the past year, faced with the out-of-control COVID-19 epidemic, rising inflation rate and disappointing employment figures, Americans have become more and more angry, and the chaos shown by the hasty withdrawal from Afghanistan has become the laughing stock of the world. CNN is worried that Biden’s visit comes at a time when the domestic view of him is becoming more and more pessimistic, which may challenge the international leadership of the United States. The New York Times lamented that "the world position of the United States is collapsing".

"This is a flashing red light."

  According to the latest NBC poll, 71% of adults believe that the United States is on the wrong path. This figure is 8 percentage points higher than that in August. Among those who hold this view, Republicans are the majority (93%), but nearly half of them are Democrats (48%) and most of them are neutrals (70%). At the same time, most Americans disapprove of Biden’s work performance, and nearly 60% people have a negative view of Biden’s economic management since he took office nine months ago.

  "When you see that 71% people think that the United States is on the wrong track, this is a flashing red light." Poll expert McInturff said, "These public opinion data tell us that the situation (in the United States) is not very good." According to the poll, for the future of the United States, only 41% of the respondents think that the best era in the United States is behind, while 53% say that the best era has passed.

  NBC said that Biden’s government had just passed through a difficult summer and early autumn. In addition to the out-of-control epidemic and the sharp increase in the number of deaths, it also had to face the international influence after the chaotic withdrawal of the United States from Afghanistan, the rising inflation rate, disappointing employment figures and legislative troubles caused by the infighting of the Democratic Party. According to the report, in this opinion poll, 42% people agreed with Biden’s overall work, which was 7 percentage points lower than that in August. The number of people dissatisfied with Biden’s work reached 54%, an increase of 6 percentage points over August. From the historical data, Biden’s support rate (42%) is the lowest among previous presidents in the same period except Trump (37% in the same period in 2017).

  Polls show that Americans are most dissatisfied with Biden’s economic policies, and only 40% of Americans agree with Biden’s government’s handling of the economy, which has dropped by 7 percentage points since August. In the aspects of border security, inflation, crime control, national security, economy and government efficiency, the support rate of the Democratic Party lags far behind that of the Republican Party. What is even more embarrassing for Biden is that only 37% of the respondents think that he can be the president of the United States, and 28% think that he can unite the country. In contrast, the proportion of respondents who think that he is not qualified for the presidency and cannot unite the country exceeds 50%. In response to this poll, Howard, a polling expert at the Hart Research Association of the United States, said: "The Democratic Party is facing an American whose views on President Biden have turned sharply negative since April. Biden’s commitment, ability and stability in difficult times have all been questioned. " Hart, another polling expert, said: "People voted for Biden to pursue stability and calm, but now they get instability and chaos."

"A state of steep and dangerous decline"

  "Idiot, the most important thing is the economy." On October 31, CNN10 once again mentioned the famous slogan that Clinton defeated Bush in the general election. CNN said that from supply chain chaos to shortage of workers, the US economic recovery encountered severe challenges in the third quarter of this year. The report of the Ministry of Commerce shows that the economic growth rate of the United States in the third quarter (annualized) was only 2%. Supply chain crisis is everywhere, prices continue to soar, factories are waiting for materials and parts, and consumers are waiting for goods. American industrial production fell by 1.3% in September as manufacturers struggled with the shortage of materials and labor. The report also said that the most unbearable thing for the people is that the inflation rate in September announced by the United States on October 29 continued to rise, increasing by 4.4% year-on-year, which is the fastest growth rate since 1991. Excluding food and energy items, the core price index in September increased by 3.6% year-on-year, continuing the highest level in nearly 30 years. The report feels that the American people may have to spend the most expensive Thanksgiving and Christmas in their lives. According to the latest data from the US Department of Agriculture, food prices in the United States on Thanksgiving Day have generally increased by more than 10% compared with last year. For example, the price of potatoes has increased by 13% and the price of frozen turkey has increased by 27%.

  Hannity, the host of Fox TV in the United States, said that the poor and middle class in the United States are suffering the most because of the 30-year high inflation rate. Middle-income families spend an extra $2,100 a year on food, fuel and housing. He said that this is an "inflation tax" created by the Biden administration. "These crises could have been prevented, but the policies and proposals of the Biden administration will only make everything worse." Hannity said that the United States is in a "steep and dangerous state of decline" and "Biden’s radical green new deal will not have a solution. Sadly, we don’t even know if Biden really knows what happened. "

  Biden is obviously anxious, too. On October 31st, during his participation in the G20 Rome Summit, he held a "Global Supply Chain Resilience Summit" with the leaders of 14 countries to try to solve the supply chain crisis in the United States. However, in an interview on the same day, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Butigig poured cold water on it, saying that the supply chain crisis in the United States was the result of the spread of the epidemic, and if the epidemic could not be ended, the supply chain crisis would continue.

  According to the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), by the end of October, the vaccination completion rate in the United States was only 57.5%, which was far behind by many other countries in the world. Japan, the latest among the G7 countries to start vaccination, has announced that 70% of the total population has been vaccinated with two doses of vaccine. The New York Times said on November 1st that the epidemic situation in the United States has eased, but the number of new deaths in a single day (average of 7 days) still reached 1,346. As of the 1st, the cumulative number of deaths in COVID-19 has exceeded 5 million, and the cumulative number of deaths in the United States is close to 750,000, which still ranks first.

The future American dream will be "how to survive"

  The New York Times said that at the beginning of Biden’s administration, Americans were generally optimistic, expecting this administration to fulfill its promise to overcome the epidemic before July 4, ease the humanitarian crisis on the border, repair the allies destroyed during Trump’s period, and withdraw troops safely from Afghanistan before September 11. However, all the expectations have deviated, and there is little indication that the government has considered possible problems. According to the report, the failure of Biden’s administration will not only result in a change of administration in the United States, but "the change of global order will make us poorer and more vulnerable".

  Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zacharova recently posted on social media that the United States has frequently criticized and sanctioned human rights in other countries recently, but if you look at the data of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), you will know that the United States itself is experiencing the most serious internal political and social human rights crisis. She wrote that since 2019, the absolute murder rate in the United States has increased by one third, which has actually brought the United States back to the period when gangs in Los Angeles and organized crime in Chicago were rampant. In addition, the data of crimes motivated by racial hatred are particularly impressive. According to FBI data, the number of such crimes against Asians has almost doubled, and the number against African-Americans has increased to 1.5 times. Zacharova said that if this trend continues, as sociologists have pointed out, the so-called "American dream" will no longer be "going to success", but "how to survive this year".

  Washington post said that there have been widespread anti-Biden slogans in the United States recently, and people’s anger is not directed at Biden personally, but at the country he leads. "Biden is an incarnation. He is like a symbol of American decline."

  On the 1st, The Wall Street Journal published an article entitled "The biggest challenge of Biden’s trip to Europe is to make the world still believe in the leadership of the United States". However, after the article, some American readers left a message questioning: "Biden led the United States to fight the epidemic but caused 750,000 deaths in the United States. He led the American economy but spent trillions of dollars to keep prices rising. Can he really convince the world of American leadership? "

A bizarre "scandal" occurred in Antarctica. Seals tried to rape emperor penguins.






    Strange: Seals want to mate with penguins.







    Struggle: It took the seal 45 minutes to mate with the emperor penguin, but it was probably disappointing.







    Family reunion? The king penguin in the picture is bigger than the fur seal, and certainly not as easy to bully as the penguin in the article.


    Scientists recently witnessed a natural wonder on Marion Island near the South Pole-a male Antarctic fur seal tried to rape an emperor penguin, but the seal failed in the end, and the "scandal" was captured by scientists.


    Attempted invasion for 45 minutes


    According to Hong Kong’s Wen Wei Po reported on the 4th, the "crime scene" was a beach on Marion Island. The "suspect" was burly and weighed about 100 kilograms, pressing the victim penguin who weighed only 15 kilograms. The infringed penguin kept flapping its wings and tried to get up and escape, but could not escape. The seal pressed the penguin for a while, twitched his lower body back and forth for a while, trying to violence each other, but it took 45 minutes to be helpless, so he had to "borrow water" and didn’t look back at the penguin.


    Scientists don’t know why seals raped penguins, and they don’t know the sex of the victims, but I believe this is the first time that a mammal has attempted to mate with a different species such as vertebrates.


    The South African scientist who filmed this wonder estimated that the violent seal might be a young male seal with no sexual experience. Because it was too young and tender, it was not favored by the female seal, but the sexual desire suddenly surged, so he was hungry and chose a penguin.


    Motivation: lack of sexual experience?


    However, because the mating season of local animals is almost over, scientists speculate that seals may want to hunt penguins at first, but their appetite for penguins has turned into sexual impulses. Debruin, a South African mammal expert, said: "At first glance, we thought that seals would kill penguins." Because Marion Island is the only place in the world where Antarctic fur seals are known to hunt emperor penguins on land, the idea that seals originally tried to hunt penguins was established.


    Scientists also said that it is also possible that seals originally wanted to play with penguins, but during the play, they became lustful.

Huawei partners with Lantu to add another member to the automotive sector

Author: Wu Kai

On January 22, Lantu announced the formal signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with Huawei. It is reported that the two parties will jointly create the ultimate intelligent travel experience around user requests according to their respective field advantages, and accelerate the large-scale commercialization of intelligent technology through innovation and exploration in multiple fields through cooperative models.

Landmap car WeChat official account

Landmap said: "Huawei’s deep accumulation in ICT technology and continuous breakthroughs in the field of intelligence will help Dongfeng Landmap to further upgrade and iterate in the field of smart new energy vehicles."

In the eyes of industry insiders, the cooperation between the two parties may adopt the Huawei HI (Huawei Inside) model. Under this model, Huawei and cooperative car companies jointly develop, and the cooperative models will be equipped with Huawei’s full-stack smart car solutions. At present, there are three car companies that have adopted this cooperation model: GAC Aian, BAIC Extreme Fox, and Changan Avita.

With Lantu joining Huawei’s cooperative car companies, Huawei’s automotive portfolio has expanded again.

With Baidu, why cooperate with Huawei?

Huawei is not the first tech giant to partner with Landmap.

In 2022, Lantu announced the formation of an effective technical alliance with Baidu. Lantu said that it will use Baidu’s technology in intelligent driving and intelligent cabin to create leading high-order intelligent driving assistance, intelligent human-machine interaction, intelligent networking and other technologies.

Then in 2023, the new Landmap FREE, equipped with Baidu Apollo’s pilot assist driving function, was officially launched.

In the field of smart cars, Huawei and Baidu have many of the same businesses, and intelligent driving is one of the core areas of overlap. Will this cooperation with Huawei, which is also a leader in the field of autonomous driving, change the cooperation between Landmap and Baidu?

Times Finance asked Landmap for information on this. As of press time, the official has not replied.

A person close to Huawei told Times Finance that the cooperation period between the two parties is long and is still in the early stage, and more information is expected to be announced one after another.

New Travel CEO He Lei revealed on the evening of January 21 that the cooperation between Lantu and Huawei will adopt the HI model, and subsequent products will be equipped with Huawei’s Hongmeng car machine and ADS (Huawei high-end intelligent driving system). However, self-developed businesses such as Lantu car machine system should also be retained, and its product portfolio may be a high-end and low-end matching model in the future.

Times Finance asked both companies for details on the specific content of the cooperation between Lantu and Huawei, and the responsible person of Lantu and Huawei replied that "there is no more information at present".

As a high-end new energy vehicle brand under Dongfeng Company, Dongfeng attaches great importance to the Lantu brand.

On July 29, 2020, at the Lantu Automobile brand strategy conference, Zhu Yanfeng, then chairperson and party secretary of Dongfeng Company, personally stood on the platform and explained the brand strategy and future planning of Lantu Automobile.

"We are committed to building Dongfeng Lantu into a leader in high-end new energy passenger vehicles in China. From 2021, no less than one new car will be launched into the market every year. In the next three to five years, Dongfeng Lantu’s products will cover various market segments such as cars, SUVs, MPVs, crossovers, and high-performance vehicles." Zhu Yanfeng said that the launch of the Lantu brand has opened a new round of hard work for Dongfeng to develop high-end brands and promote brand improvement.

Compared with other new car-making forces, the market performance of Lantu in 2023 is not impressive. According to the data provided by Lantu, its overall sales volume in 2023 was 50,552, with an average monthly sales volume of 4,212. However, in the second half of last year, Lantu’s vehicle deliveries began to rise rapidly, and it exceeded 10,000 in December.

At present, there are three models on sale in Lantu Auto, namely Lantu FREE, Lantu Chasing Light, and Lantu Dreamer. Lantu told Times Finance that the above three models will still be the main sales force in 2024, and a new car is planned to be released, but the timing is undetermined.

The debate between Huawei HI model and Smart Choice model intensifies

With the addition of Landmap to Huawei’s automotive map, the competition within Huawei’s automotive business will become increasingly intense.

Some people believe that the sales of BAIC Extreme Fox, Changan Avita and other brand models under Huawei HI mode are not bright. If Lantu and Huawei adopt HI mode this time, the effect remains to be seen.

Dcar data shows that in 2023, the sales volume of Changan Avita brand cars under the Huawei HI model was only 23,485; the annual sales volume of BAIC’s Extreme Fox α coefficient S series models, including the HI version, was only 15,163.

*** is the smart selection model. Since the second half of last year, with the hot sales of products such as M7, the cumulative sales of the Q brand under the smart selection model will increase to 94,380 units in 2023.

The HI model and Huawei Smart Choice model are both new cooperation models between Huawei and car companies. According to Huawei, in the HI model, car companies dominate, the underlying intelligent driving functions are provided by Huawei, and the car companies are responsible for product decision-making and experience; under the Smart Choice model, Huawei has a higher degree of participation, and it has a greater voice over product definition, design, channel sales, brand operation, etc. At present, car companies that adopt the Smart Choice cooperation model include Cyrus, Chery, Jianghuai, etc.

For different cooperation models, the attitude of each cooperative car company is also different. Recently, Zhu Huarong, chairperson of Changan Automobile, made a unique evaluation of Huawei’s HI model, highlighting the complex attitude of car companies towards the cooperation model with Huawei.

"Why doesn’t [Changan Automobile] work with Huawei to develop a smart selection model, why does it want to develop a HI model? First, Changan’s strategy is that cars must have their own brand, not someone else’s brand. If it is someone else’s brand, it will be wrong. Second, Changan must do things in line with the requirements of the national industrial policy, because I think other models are problematic." Zhu Huarong said on January 16.

In Zhu Huarong’s opinion, the cooperation model needs to clarify the attribution of responsibility. Under the HI model, any time there is a problem, Avita and Changan Automobile are responsible.

At the signing site between Lantu and Huawei, Huawei was represented by Xu Zhijun, vice chairperson and rotating chairperson of Huawei, and Jin Yuzhi, CEO of Huawei Smart Car Solutions BU. However, the "key man" of Huawei’s automotive business – Huawei managing director, end point BG CEO, and chairperson of Smart Car Solutions BU Yu Chengdong did not appear.

According to a previous report by Economic Observer Network, Yu Chengdong is a representative of Huawei’s internal "car-making faction", and Xu Zhijun, who previously promoted Huawei’s car BU independence, is a firm "no-car-making faction". That is to say, Xu Zhijun more supports the HI model as a supplier, while Yu Chengdong more supports the smart selection model of deep participation in car-making.

"We Lao Yu [Yu Chengdong] are not convinced, but he only has one vote. As the head of the consumer business, Lao Yu wants to build cars from the start of consumer BG," Xu Zhijun said at the 2021 Huawei Technology Conference.

The appearance of Xu Zhijun and Yu Chengdong’s absence this time also added more uncertainty to the competition between Huawei’s HI model and Smart Choice model.
