On July 27th, its first model – luxury intelligent plug-in hybrid was officially launched. There are 3 models in total, and the market guide price is 262,800 yuan for Jin Pro; 242,800 yuan for Jin; and 232,800 yuan for Jin Lite. After comprehensive subsidies, 199,800 can get the entry-level version. It will be officially delivered in August. In the second half of 2019, it is planned to be manufactured in the Ghent factory in Belgium, and it is expected to be sold in Europe in the first half of 2020.

Product highlights: comprehensive only 1.7L/100km, comprehensive battery life up to 992 kilometers.

It is the first plug-in type based on the CMA basic module architecture and is positioned as a luxury intelligent plug-in hybrid. It is equipped with Drive-E dual-engine technology, 1.5TD high-efficiency and Siemens high-efficiency motor dual-power combination, comprehensive 256Ps, the highest motor efficiency can reach 95%. In addition, it is worth noting that the comprehensive economy is only 1.7L/100km, and the maximum comprehensive battery life of the same class is 992 kilometers.

At the same time, 100 kilometers is increased to 7.3 seconds, and the distance of 100km/h-0km/h is only 35 meters. The fast and stable hard power brings consumers a more extreme driving feeling. For the comprehensive consideration of various user usage scenarios, a "3 + 1 driving mode" is set, and users can freely choose Pure (pure electric mode), Hybrid (hybrid mode), Power (power mode), and Save (power retention function).

Product analysis: the world’s first dismantling, intuitive and better

Focusing on core technologies such as batteries and motors that consumers care about, the world’s first dismantling was carried out.

1. Motor

The rotation of the motor drives the entire powertrain system to achieve an efficient operation mode, which is the design highlight and technical module foundation of all future electrification projects of Lynk & Co. At the scene, consumers and the media were shown the use of Drive-E dual-engine technology, that is, 1.5TD and Siemens high-efficiency motor dual power combination. The Siemens high-efficiency motor in the dual-engine technology weighs 26 kilograms and has a transmission efficiency of 95%. It can output 60kW and 160N.m.

During the disassembly process, Zhu Ling explained to consumers the motor integration technology, namely the P2.5 architecture, which is the only plug-in hybrid model in the same class that uses the P2.5 architecture. The motor is highly integrated, resulting in the 7DCT-H, which can achieve a maximum transmission efficiency of 97%, improving power by 14% and fuel efficiency by 42%.

2. Battery

High and low temperature battery performance attenuation is an unavoidable problem in daily use of new energy vehicles. The power battery has independent and advanced thermal insulation technology to delay battery performance attenuation to the greatest extent. Bipolar thermostatic power battery technology can achieve two working modes of "warm in winter and cool in summer" to solve the problem of battery reliability and durability from the root.

The world’s first dismantling will also focus on the core battery technology in new energy models, and the unique and innovative safety system will be intuitively presented. Based on the leadership of the CMA basic module architecture, the battery mid-mounted design is adopted to ensure the safety and reliability of the battery pack in a collision, while also effectively saving the trunk space. In terms of layout, seat position, and support of the central stringer, the battery safety is also taken into account. For the common problem of battery pack leakage in high-speed collisions, the liquid suction design is adopted to absorb leakage and reduce the risk. After a collision, the safe voltage (60V) can be reduced within 1 second to prevent the battery from harming the car members.

3. Safety performance

The model continues the strong safety genes of the C-NCAP 5-star + model. In terms of passive safety structure, the front of the aluminum alloy can be seen during the dismantling process, and a large amount of high-strength steel is used. And it adopts advanced anti-WHIPS anti-whip seats, which can reduce the impact on the head and neck of the front occupants when the vehicle is rear-ended; at the same time, the anti-diving beam that prevents the occupants from sliding forward in the vehicle suddenly and causing dangerous situations, the CLT locking tongue technology that can help control the impact force exerted on the occupants of the collision, and the 80mm collapsible pipe column that can shorten the size of the steering wheel in the event of a frontal collision and reduce the degree of secondary injury to the driver and occupants, etc., bring all-round care to consumers.

In addition, the Bosch P ? 9.3 hev X version is based on the latest Bosch P9.3, which is specially designed for new energy models. It adopts four-channel independent control for each operation, which can intelligently adjust different torque sizes according to the driving conditions of the vehicle. Assist the driver to make the vehicle drive safely, stably and smoothly on curves, ramps, separated roads, and ice and snow roads. When coordinated with the Bosch iBooster, it can achieve almost 100%, which not only increases the battery life of the vehicle by up to 15.4%, but also effectively reduces the fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions of the hybrid car.

Conclusion: As one of the emerging industries, it is the wrestling point for the future development of global enterprises. In 2017, China’s cumulative sales volume 530,000 vehicles, firmly standing at the top of the global new energy market. In the process of the comprehensive conversion of traditional fuel power to new energy, subject to technological changes, there is still broad space for the integrated development of internal combustion engines and motors. However, PHEV models are the first step in the development strategy. According to reports, the new energy strategy will be implemented in stages, from plug-in, oil-electric, and finally to the pure stage.

Recently, the film "Crowd Surging" directed by Rao Xiaozhi and starring Andy Lau is being filmed. Self-media released the film shooting set Reuters, and claimed that the starring Andy Lau was played big by young actors on the set. In response, the film side responded: The scene of self-media candid shooting and leaking is a plot within a play, and all the creators and actors of the crew are very dedicated, and there has never been a big-name incident. Self-media related reports and articles are false rumors.

Candid photography of the scene

In the self-media article "Andy Lau’s set video exposure, young actors playing big names, the director shouted that they were still repairing their makeup", the filming scene of the movie "Crowd" was secretly filmed, and I saw Andy Lau walking around the set waiting. The two young actors and actresses in the same scene, when they were about to start filming, had been repairing their makeup and did not listen to the director’s instructions. Among them, Andy Lau also had a dispute with one of the male actors.

on site

In this regard, the film’s "Emperor Movies" Weibo issued a statement saying that the scene that was secretly photographed and leaked by self-media was a plot within a play, and all the creators and actors of the crew were very dedicated, and there was never a big-name incident. I also hope that everyone will not rely on footage suspicion and write false reports.

Statement

The full text of the Emperor Film Weibo statement:

The film crew and all producers of the film "Crowd" solemnly declare that recently, self-media accounts such as "Light and Shadow Xintiandi", "Different Cinema", "Cauldron Entertainment", "Rainbow Colorful Lollipops", and "Qiqi Film and Television Commentary" have published or reprinted articles on the Internet – "Andy Lau’s set video exposure, young actors playing big names, and the director is still making up". The article relies on candid footage and fabricated facts to have a serious adverse impact on the actors and crew. Therefore, we solemnly make the following statement:

First, in the report, the scene of candid filming and leakage is a plot within a play, because the project is in the filming stage, it is inconvenient to disclose the relevant plot. After the film is released, the full film will be revealed upon seeing it.

Second, all the creators and actors of the crew are very dedicated, and there has never been a big-name incident. I hope everyone will not rely on snippets to be suspicious and write false reports.

III. The film is currently under intense filming. We strongly condemn the act of filming and leaking information about actors and crew on the spot without permission, and disseminating it online. This act has caused serious trouble and inconvenience to the creators and staff. I hope you will not spread it.

The birth of a film has brought together the hard work and dedication of hundreds of staff around the clock. The impact caused by theft and film leakage is unimaginable. Film creation is not easy. Here, we sincerely appeal to everyone not to spread false reports, reject Reuters and theft, protect the privacy of actors, and create a good creative environment for the crew.

Thank you again for your attention and support to the movie "Crowd"! We will bring you an excellent work! Stay tuned!

How about a small WiFi signal?

　　Because the small WiFi device is very small and does not have a strengthened "extension antenna", many friends are worried about its signal strength and penetration. The actual test barrier-free distance is about 10 meters or separated by 2 walls and 1 glass. It can still be used, but the signal is already relatively weak, so the distance between the walls of the general house and the upstairs and downstairs should not be a problem.

Small WiFi signal test experience

　　According to the official introduction, Xiaodu WiFi uses the latest 55nm MT7601 chip, which conforms to the IEEE 802.11n protocol, is compatible with IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11b standards, and supports 2.4 frequency bands. This is also the latest wireless module launched this year. It is better than the 99nm RT5370 core that congeneric products commonly used two years ago. As users, we don’t need to know too much about these parameters.

　　First of all, we still use some professional testing tools, Speed Test, mainly for uploading and downloading tests; WiFi Overview 360 wireless network analysis software, mainly for wireless signal testing. Then I will tell you my actual experience.

　　The figure below is the network speed test of Xiaodu WiFi, and the figure below is the wireless router speed result of our office environment, which varies greatly, right? The main reason is that my mobile phone is next to Xiaodu WiFi, while the wireless router in the office is far away from me, and there are many connections, so these parameters are for reference only.

　　▲ Top: Small WiFi network speed, bottom: Wireless router test in office environment

　　In the test of WiFi signal, the mobile phone terminal is close to the computer, and the small WiFi is almost full. As the distance increases, it keeps changing, reducing by half when it is about 5 meters, relatively weak when it is 10 meters, and disconnected when it is 15 meters.

　　▲ WiFi signal test

　　Numbers cannot explain everything, especially the different network usage environments, but the use of small WiFi products is generally not very far away, such as bedrooms, small-scale office environments, or friends around the airport waiting, so the WiFi connection speed will not be very poor, and in the afternoon test, small WiFi performance is very stable, the space distance can be used within about 15 meters, the effect of the partition wall, if there is a door, that is, the signal has a space to pass through, it is basically fine, if the interval of the enclosed space, let alone this small WiFi, even the home router is not very good. The wireless router in the company is still enterprise-grade, and we have no signal in some spaces.

It is expected to achieve full coverage of cruise taxis "oil to electricity" in 2027

Yesterday, the theme event of Hangzhou’s most beautiful taxis helping a better life "Welcome July 1st" and the signing ceremony of the industry’s party building joint construction and the delivery ceremony of the new car of "oil to electricity" were held. Another 100 new energy taxis were delivered in Hangzhou, promoting the acceleration of the update of cruise taxis.

The new energy taxi delivered in this centralized delivery is Geely Automobile’s geometric A model, with strong battery life, a full charge can run more than 400 kilometers, a smooth and comfortable ride experience, and awesome air conditioning. "Usually running in the urban area, about 200 kilometers a day, even if the air conditioner is turned on, it is enough." At the scene, a brother calculated the account for the reporter. They usually charge at the "Valley Power" charging station, "the maximum electricity is 5 cents, and 15 yuan can run for a day, which is much cheaper than using gasoline."

It is understood that Hangzhou has fully accelerated the promotion of new energy cruise taxis since 2022. According to the "Hangzhou Cruise Taxi Vehicle Technical Standards", since March 21, 2022, the new and updated cruise taxis in the urban area of Hangzhou (except Tonglu, Chun’an and Jiande) must be new energy pure electric vehicles. And before the end of 2024, the cost of new and updated new energy pure electric vehicles will be subsidized by the government, and a one-time operation subsidy of 30,000 yuan can be enjoyed for an operating right indicator.

At present, more than 8,000 cruise taxis have been updated in Hangzhou, including more than 6,500 in Shangcheng District, Xihu District, Gongshu District and Binjiang District. It is expected that by 2027, more than 14,000 cruise taxis in Hangzhou will be updated to new energy vehicles.

In addition, this year, the Hangzhou transportation department will continue to promote the transportation industry system party building "empowering" special project action, including ensuring that Hangzhou’s online car-hailing compliance rate remains at the forefront of the national city ranking; ensuring that more than 500 barrier-free taxis are operating on the road, and explore entering the community service; further improve the Hangzhou Taxi 95128 hotline car-hailing platform and love fleet construction, carry out pair construction, and provide more convenient and comfortable services for the elderly by scanning the code.

　　Unmanned driving approaches the "last 100 meters"! Is the automatic parking in the true sense of Huawei Zhijie S7 Big Show Black Technology coming?

The "CMA architecture" planted in those years and together is now beginning to bear fruit in the brand-Xingyue, Xingrui, and now Xingyue L, which has set a record for the largest size of CMA.

Although it is named "Xingyue L", the design of this car is completely different from Xingyue. The latter tends to be dynamic and young, while the former pays more attention to maturity and stability.

Although the style orientation is different, the overall design language remains the same, which is also the characteristic of all models at present. A set of recognizable design allows unfamiliar people to recognize the brand without looking at the logo, which is very beneficial to the creation of brand image and the setting of product positioning.

The overall dimensions of Xingyue L are 4770*1895*1689mm and the wheelbase is 2845 mm.. It is reasonable to say that this size can be counted as a medium-sized SUV, but it is still called a compact SUV. One of the reasons is that the CMA architecture was originally aimed at compact models. As a result, the Xingyue L will look a bit "have no martial ethics" when compared with other compact SUVs in the future, similar to the previous Xingrui.

To sum up the shape of Xingyue L in a few words, there are probably: stable, thick, hard and strong. The headlights, grille, rearview mirror, window and wheel hub are all one size larger than the previous models. Although they lack the agility that young people like, they give people a solid and reliable psychological feeling, which is obviously a model for family use.

Matrix headlights are a bright spot, with 126 LED beads, which can control the switch and light and shade separately to ensure the brightness and lighting range, and at the same time, more lighting effects can be achieved through OTA in the later period.

Xingyue L’s car paints are available in six colors, including oyster white, aurora silver (as shown in the picture), basaltic gray, jet black and Mars red, as well as a distinctive "Cuiyu Blue", which is not blue or green, inspired by the mountains and mountains, and at the same time extracts the green texture of traditional porcelain and natural cuiyu. The cost of this car paint will be higher, and it may be available in limited quantities after listing.

When you open the car door, the little oppressive feeling brought by the appearance suddenly disappears, and the warm home atmosphere comes to you. The length of the triple screen across the center console is close to one meter, and the resolution of each screen has reached 1920X720.

This shooting vehicle is a test car, and the screen can’t be lit. The visual effect is quite good in the all-black state, and the overall feeling is very strong. At the recent Shanghai Auto Show, we saw the effect after lighting. The screen quality is very high, but the white theme still has a sense of separation. We look forward to the effect of the black theme.

The air conditioning outlets on both sides are directly opened on the huge black panel of the triple screen, which is a cost-free operation and of course brings good visual effects. Touched by hand, the edge of the opening is very round, and there is no cutting feel, which shows excellent workmanship.

The shape of the shift lever is similar to that of Xingyue and Xingrui, but the unlock key is cancelled, and the operation logic is the same as that of XC40. Shift the shift lever twice. The physical buttons in the air-conditioning control area have been preserved, which I praise.

Previously, the interior was decorated with palindromes, but Xingyue L was replaced with woven texture. There was a red and blue gradient stitch between the white stitches on the decorative board. At first glance, it was complicated, but at second glance, it added a little vitality to the interior.

The interior of this car is a combination of beige and red, while the Cuiyu blue model will be decorated with dark green and gold, which is more luxurious and mysterious. The roof is completely covered with suede material, and the cost is burning.

With such a large size, the rear space will naturally not disappoint, and the seat is wide, which provides good support for my whole body. The backrest angle can be adjusted, and the overhead space is about 15 cm. Because the electric seat of the vehicle can’t move, the passenger seat in the picture is actually in a backward position, which means that even if I have a more indulgent sitting position in the passenger seat, another passenger with a height of 180cm can still ride comfortably in the back row.

The luggage compartment has a great depth, but because the backrest of the rear seat is inclined, large items can’t be put in the depth. Open the lower cover of the luggage compartment, and there is a storage compartment below. After putting down the rear seat, the volume becomes very considerable, and the loading surface is only slightly inclined.

The vehicle being photographed is equipped with a 2.0T medium-power engine, with a maximum power of 218 HP and a maximum torque of 325Nm, which is between T5 and T4. It will be matched with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch gearbox and accelerate 7.9S at zero speed.

The Xingyue L will also have a 2.0T high-power engine with a maximum power of 238 HP and a maximum torque of 350Nm (which can be supercharged to 380Nm), matching 8AT and accelerating for 7.7 seconds. The performance gap between high and low power is so small that it is really rare. I wonder how much difference the price will be at that time.

It is expected that the price of Xingyue L will overlap with the mainstream joint venture compact SUV to a large extent, or even be cheaper. From this static observation, we can see that Xingyue L has obvious advantages over the joint venture SUV in terms of space, design, material selection and configuration. I look forward to the follow-up dynamic test drive and experience the strength of CMA architecture in mechanical and electronic aspects.

　　China news agency, Beijing, January 26th (Reporter Shen Chen) Adidas, a partner of Beijing Olympic Games, officially launched the "Star of the Great Wall", a game ball designed for the Beijing Olympic football match, here on the 26th, and Adidas’ 2008 Olympic football tour started.

　　The "Star of the Great Wall" was specially designed by Adidas for the Beijing Olympic Games, highlighting the elements of China. The world is dominated by red and gold with strong China characteristics, with the Great Wall pattern on the hook edge, and the word "China" inscribed by Nian Weisi, a leading soccer player in China, is printed on the sphere.

Nian Weisi, a veteran of China football, introduced the feeling of writing the word "China" on the "Star of the Great Wall" football.

　　Nian Weisi said that he has witnessed the development of China football, and it is a golden opportunity to hold the Olympic Games in Beijing. He expects China football to make a breakthrough at home. "I hope that the international players can eat well, practice well and get ready during the preparation period. By August 8, they will go into battle lightly, play the style and play the level, and win glory for the country under the influence of China."

　　China Olympic athletes Zhao Xuri, Jiang Ning, Shen Longyuan and China women’s football players Li Jie, Han Duan and Bi Yan felt the "Star of the Great Wall" at the first time. Zhao Xuri said that the surface of the "Great Wall Star" is not very smooth, and the ball speed will be faster and easier to control during the game. "I hope to score more goals when I get to the Beijing Olympic Games."

　　In the first half of 2019, car companies at home and abroad had a hard time. According to the semi-annual/second-quarter financial reports published by listed car companies, many car companies have experienced performance decline and even losses due to multiple factors such as declining sales and high R&D investment. In order to stop loss in time, some car companies also try to control costs by laying off employees, closing factories or reducing R&D investment to reverse the situation.

　　■ Reduce the annual sales target with a view to stable development.

　　In the first half of the year, the word "decline" in the domestic auto market was the first, which was reflected in the financial reports of listed auto companies, that is, everyone’s life was generally difficult.

　　Geely Automobile, which has made great strides in the past two years, is quite ambitious to be an "independent brother". However, since the end of 2018, Geely has also fallen into the dilemma of declining sales growth. According to public data, from January to July 2019, the cumulative total sales volume of Geely Automobile was 743,000 units, down 16% year-on-year. Earlier, Geely Automobile also announced that its annual sales target for 2019 will be lowered by 10% from 1.51 million units to 1.36 million units.

　　According to the group profit warning issued by Geely Automobile recently, as of June 30, 2019, Geely Automobile’s net profit in the first half of the year decreased by about 40% year-on-year, far lower than the net profit of 6.67 billion yuan in the same period last year. For the decline in profit, Geely believes that this is mainly due to the fact that the overall sales volume of the group’s automobiles fell beyond expectations and actively reduced dealer inventory.

　　Changan Automobile, which is also affected by the decline in sales, still cannot escape the "fate" of performance loss this quarter. According to official data, in the first half of 2019, the net profit loss of Changan Automobile was 1.9 billion to 2.6 billion yuan, which was as high as 218.04%-261.53% compared with the same period of last year. In the first half of the year, Changan’s joint venture and independent sectors all performed poorly, and the cumulative sales volume decreased by 31.65% year-on-year to 825,000 units.

　　Compared with Geely and Changan, whose sales declined, Great Wall Motor, which achieved a contrarian growth in sales in the first half of the year, also faced a profit problem.

　　In the first half of 2019, Great Wall Motor sold a total of 493,500 new cars, a year-on-year increase of 4.7%. Despite this, Great Wall Motor still experienced a double decline in operating income and net profit in the first half of the year. According to the 2019 interim results forecast of Great Wall Motor, in the first half of this year, Great Wall Motor achieved operating income of about 41.38 billion yuan, down about 15% year-on-year; The net profit was about RMB 1.57 billion, down about 58% year-on-year; The net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies after deducting non-recurring gains and losses was about RMB 1.24 billion, down about 65% year-on-year.

　　In this regard, Great Wall Motor said: "During the reporting period, the company increased the product preferential quota to benefit consumers, and continued to increase brand promotion and R&D investment, resulting in a year-on-year decline in net profit attributable to shareholders of listed companies." Based on the market environment in the first half of the year, Great Wall Motor also lowered its sales target for 2019 from 1.2 million to 1.07 million to keep the overall sales healthy, stable and sustainable.

　　In the first half of this year, Haima Automobile, jiangling motors and FAW Car also suffered a sharp year-on-year decline in net profit.

　　■ The profitability of overseas car companies has been greatly tightened.

　　The downturn in China’s auto market has also greatly tightened the global revenue of many multinational auto companies.

　　Daimler, which is famous for making money, has suffered a "long-lost" profit loss. According to public reports, in the first half of this year, Daimler’s revenue increased by 2% year-on-year to 82.35 billion euros, but its net profit fell by 78% year-on-year to 907 million euros. The report shows that Daimler’s expenditure on special projects increased significantly in the first half of this year, mainly for further disposal of diesel vehicle exhaust emissions and recall of Mercedes-Benz cars equipped with defective airbags produced by Takada Company of Japan. In the second quarter of this year, Daimler’s special project expenditure reached 4.2 billion euros, which directly affected the company’s performance — — In the second quarter, earnings before interest and tax lost 1.6 billion euros, which was the first quarterly performance loss of Daimler in nine years.

　　The decline in sales has further affected Daimler’s profitability. In the second quarter of this year, the overall sales volume of Daimler’s passenger car sector decreased by 3% to 575,000 units. To this end, Daimler has repeatedly issued profit warnings; He also said that in order to improve the profitability, the research and development costs of Mercedes-Benz cars will be greatly reduced by 2025, and the alliance with competitors will be strengthened.

　　Under the tide of the new four modernizations of automobiles, large automobile groups don’t want to fall behind in the above fields. This directly brings about the overweight of R&D investment.

　　Thanks to the steady performance of the China market, in the second quarter of this year, BMW achieved a cumulative sales increase of 1.5% to 647,000 vehicles, and its revenue also increased by 3% to 25.715 billion euros. Despite this, the company’s earnings before interest and tax fell by 28.4%, from 2.866 billion euros to 2.053 billion euros.

　　In this regard, BMW Group said that the company has been expanding its investment in pure electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles, and continues to optimize internal combustion engines. The reason for the decline in profits is that the increase in expenditure on electric vehicles has lowered the profit margin.

　　Also suffering from the decline in performance is Ford Motor Company. The nearly "Waterloo" sales performance in the China market has made this century-old automobile brand a little less spirited. According to the public financial report of Ford Motor Company, in the second quarter of this year, Ford’s total revenue was $38.85 billion, down from $38.92 billion in the same period last year. Net income fell to $148 million, down 86% year on year. Among them, Ford’s loss in China market reached $155 million. In addition, Ford Motor Company also said that its net income plummeted in the second quarter and was also affected by its business restructuring in Europe and South America.

　　■ Controlling cost and improving bicycle profit are the keys.

　　Several families are happy and worried. In a downward trend, there are always many strong players who are growing against the trend.

　　In the first fiscal quarter of fiscal year 2020 (April-June), Toyota Motor’s net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders was 682.974 billion yen, a year-on-year increase of 3.91%; Operating income was 7.65 trillion yen, a year-on-year increase of 3.85%.　

　　The increase in profit is mainly due to Toyota’s good sales performance at home and abroad in the first half of the year. In the first half of this year, Toyota’s sales in Japan increased by 3.6% year-on-year to 1.212 million units, and overseas sales increased by 1.5% year-on-year to 4.1 million units.

　　At the same time, cost control and high bicycle profit have also become effective ways for car companies to achieve profitability.

　　In the first half of this year, the cumulative global sales volume of Volkswagen Group was 5,365,300 vehicles, down 2.8% year-on-year. Despite the decline in overall car sales, Volkswagen Group still achieved a substantial increase in profit value, driven by the SUV with higher profit margin of Volkswagen brand and the increase in sales of Porsche brand. The report shows that the sales revenue of the Volkswagen Group in the first half of the year reached 125.2 billion euros, a year-on-year increase of 4.9%; Operating profit was 9 billion euros, a year-on-year increase of 10.3%.

　　GM, on the other hand, relied on cost control to achieve a steady performance in the second quarter. With the strong performance of the North American market and effective cost control, GM achieved steady performance in the second quarter: the company’s net income reached $36.1 billion during the reporting period; Among them, the net profit reached 2.4 billion US dollars, up 1.6% year-on-year; Diluted earnings per share was $1.66. In addition, GM said that the measures to improve cost efficiency through transformation have been effective and have achieved cost savings of $1.1 billion.

　　In fact, domestic car companies also try to control costs to achieve light travel. According to a recent report by Reuters, Shenlong Automobile is planning to sell its first and second factories in Wuhan, and gradually start to lay off employees, so as to put more funds into marketing.

　　The 2018 World Robotics Congress held not long ago attracted many young people to visit and participate in the competition, and the exhibits related to children’s services naturally became the focus of everyone’s attention. In this field, many exhibitors set the function of "programming" as the key word to attract consumers, "All children in the future must be able to program".

　　Nowadays, "programming" is considered as one of the entry points for children to adapt to the era of artificial intelligence. Several parents interviewed randomly by reporters at the scene also said in unison: "Even if children don’t work in artificial intelligence in the future, they need to know something about robots and programming."

　　"Artificial intelligence starts with dolls"

　　In the youth robot design competition held during the conference, two small figures in the "Intelligent Sorting Engineering Challenge" area were particularly eye-catching.

　　The fleshy hands are as long as the mouse, and the hem of the T-shirts distributed uniformly dangles at the knees. Six-year-old Bai Haoming and Fu Hongzhou are the youngest players in this project, from Shenzhen. They have entered the threshold of programming.

　　"Let them do it, and don’t expect to get any rankings." Bai Haoming’s mother clung to the baffle in the field and leaned into half of her body to look at the child’s operation. She thought this was the simplest event in this competition.

　　In fact, this is not the case. Bai Hao-ming and Fu Hongzhou need to suck up 10 building blocks of different colors through the mechanical arm within the specified time and carry them to the area corresponding to the color. In this process, the two will cooperate with the debugging of the mechanical arm and programming to complete a series of links such as moving the mechanical arm to a designated position, accurately identifying the color, absorbing the wood blocks, and transporting the wood blocks to other designated areas.

　　As expected, their first attempt failed, and the green block was put in the red area. "No, no! Write the data again! " Bai Haoming’s mother is more anxious than her children.

　　Six-year-old Fu Hongzhou sat in front of the computer, but he was very calm. His little hand rested slowly on the mouse, and Bai Hao-ming also gathered in front of the screen. They discussed dragging the program module to reprogram, and it was soon finished. After restarting, the green building blocks were successfully transported to the corresponding green area.

　　In fact, when Bai Haoming was five years old, he could command the airplane model to start the propeller through computer programming. His mother was convinced that "artificial intelligence starts with dolls". Designated robot platform for this competition — — A certain type of mechanical arm is worth "20,000 to 30,000 yuan", and Bai Haoming’s mother thinks this kind of investment is very worthwhile.

　　Fu Hongzhou’s father also thinks that "the future must be the era of artificial intelligence". He asks his children to practice programming once or twice a week for no more than two hours at a time.

　　Encouraging children to learn programming is not only the choice of the above two parents. Yi Hui, a robot training coach at the scene of the Youth Robot Design Competition, told reporters that a training institution where he works has become more and more popular in the past three years: some 3-year-old children come to cultivate their structure and sense of space through spelling exercises; Learn simple programming at the age of 5 to 6, and master simple physics knowledge after preschool; After the age of 8, you can usually start to contact relatively complicated modular programming.

　　This time, Tian Tian, the little player he brought, began to contact the mosaic robot at the age of 3, and at the age of 5, he was able to design simple games through modular programming. Tian Tian’s father believes that the simplified programming that he is exposed to now will be helpful for children to write code programming in the future. "Although the input forms are different, the logic is the same."

　　However, he believes that for Xiao Tiantian, how much knowledge is acquired is second, and what is more important is the shaping of soft power. Tian Tian’s father thinks that the child’s patience has been "greatly improved" and "he can analyze the reasons himself in the face of failure".

　　What kind of education scheme is suitable for you?

　　In fact, not only in the competition, but also in the Expo and product exhibition area of the World Robotics Congress, "programming" is also the key word in the hearts of parents and children who come to visit.

　　Mr. Liu from Beijing and his 6-year-old son Yangyang stopped in front of a programming robot for just over ten minutes, and Yangyang learned how to make the robot parrot dance by using action memory programming.

　　Mr. Liu introduced that Yangyang was able to put together hundreds of models at the age of four, so this time he bought a programming robot worth 1299 yuan for his son without hesitation. I believe programming is not difficult for his son.

　　"Artificial intelligence will be very popular in the future, and he should be exposed to the development trend of society." Mr. Liu said.

　　Judging from the popularity of on-site programming robots, Mr. Liu seems to have spoken the voice of most parents. Exhibitors don’t need to elaborate on the significance of programming to children’s development. As long as they put out their own products, they will be quickly surrounded by a wave of teenagers and parents.

　　The reporter noted that in order to meet the needs of children, parents, schools and training institutions, many related enterprises are actively developing educational programs for "cultivating aborigines in the era of artificial intelligence", and the concepts and characteristics of each supplier are different.

　　Taking a certain type of programming robot selected by Yangyang children as an example, simple programming learning can be carried out after the robot components and motors are inserted. The programming methods include "action memory programming" and "graphical programming".

　　According to reports, teaching material packages including such programming robots have landed in several children’s palaces and primary schools around the country. Guo Zuyun, an information technology teacher at the experimental primary school in Kunming Economic and Technological Development Zone, is one of the users. He introduced that in order to be in line with the era of artificial intelligence, the school built a new function room and introduced a number of engineering intelligence teaching materials. "There are more than 900 people in the school, and more than 200 people have chosen my class. However, due to limited conditions, we only recruited 35 people. "

　　In the mobile game My World: Education Edition, which is popular among teenagers, children can cultivate computational thinking through visual programming. It is understood that teachers in more than 100 countries around the world are promoting classroom innovation and collaboration through this game.

　　People are exploring various possibilities of artificial intelligence education. Material packages, laboratories, interdisciplinary educational research and practice platforms, mobile games or public welfare activities, and various educational programs are dazzling. At present, what remains unchanged is that "programming" has become the intersection of various schemes.

　　"The traditional concept is that learning programming is to be a code farmer in the future, but it is not. The future world will be a digital world, and writing code may be as natural and necessary as writing articles and learning languages today. " An industry insider in the field of artificial intelligence education told reporters. (China Youth Daily Zhongqing Online Reporter Jess Zhang)
