The right to operate taxis in many places is changed to free use

  Many cities had abolished taxi operating royalties, abolished the 98 edition of the "Urban Taxi Management Measures", and adjusted the pricing of "molecular money"… Since March, taxi reform measures have been taken frequently in various places.

  Taxi reform is already on the way, and breakthroughs have been made in terms of operating rights, "molecular money", and the legality of online car-hailing. The reporter sorted out some local practices to see the trend of taxi reform.

  The right to operate is "free and limited".

  For a long time, under the quantity control and corporate business model, taxis have been regarded as a resource that can be "operated". In some places, a taxi license can be sold for hundreds of thousands of yuan, forming a huge profit "cheese".

  Taxi reform has begun to break the ice, and Hangzhou, Nanchang and other cities have successively cancelled taxi operation right royalties. From March 1, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Xuzhou and other places have also stopped collecting taxi operation right royalties, and implemented free and limited-term use of operation rights.

  "The reform has a very clear direction, that is, the right to operate taxis should be free and limited." Liu Xiaoming, director of the transportation service department of the Ministry of Transport, said that the total amount of taxi operation rights must be regulated, and a reasonable transportation structure must be formed through quantity control.

  At the 2016 Shenzhen Municipal Transportation Work Conference held at the end of March, the Shenzhen Municipal Transportation Commission proposed that all new taxi operating rights in Shenzhen will be used free of charge, and existing licenses will be gradually transitioned to free of charge. "Due to the complexity of existing licenses, relevant departments will consider feasibility, threat and risk assessment and report to the municipal government after maturity," said Yu Li, a researcher at the Municipal Transportation Commission’s Passenger Transport Administration.

  The person in charge of the Nanchang Municipal Transportation Bureau introduced that Nanchang stopped collecting the paid use fee for the rental car operation right this time, which was taken after a long-term investigation. The paid use fee for the rental car operation right after January 1, 2016 that was actually collected in advance will be refunded. After preliminary calculations, Nanchang City (excluding Jinxian and Anyi counties) is expected to refund the paid use fee for the rental car operation right to about 84 million yuan.

  Since it is free, how to determine the ownership of taxi operation rights in the future? This is a question that many people are concerned about after the operation rights are unpaid. According to the reporter’s research, many ideas are based on the service quality and management ability of taxi companies, rather than "the highest bidder gets".

  "Portion money" will be negotiated by multiple parties

  The "part money" composed of the paid user fees for taxi operating rights and enterprise management fees is one of the focuses of taxi reform.

  Previously, Jiangsu province proposed to formally liberalize the management service fees and rental contract fees charged by taxi companies to drivers, which means that drivers can discuss with the company how much "part money" to pay. Recently, Shenzhen announced "four measures to streamline administration and decentralize power in the taxi industry to protect the legitimate rights and interests of drivers". This includes reforming the monthly payment quota (part money), which will be determined by the company and the driver through negotiation.

  As one of the six aspects of taxi reform, the relevant person in charge of the Ministry of Transport said that "part money" will be changed from the previous government regulation to equal consultation between taxi companies, industry associations, taxi drivers and trade unions.

  Reducing "part money" in some areas directly reduces the burden on taxi drivers. In Hangzhou, many companies return 10% of the contract fee to drivers. In addition, through subsidies and rewards, "part money" has been reduced from 8,000 yuan per month to the current minimum of 6,400 yuan per month.

  "’Part money’ is closely related to the interests of drivers and ordinary people, and the amount of’part money ‘should be scientifically and win-win reform-oriented," said Yang Tao, a deputy to the Nanjing Municipal People’s Congress and chairperson of Nanjing Urban and Transportation Planning and Design Research Institute Co., Ltd.

  Experts say that judging from the policies introduced in various places, it may take time and determination to go from imperfect competition to perfect competition for the difficult "bone" of "part money".

  Online car-hailing is exploring a standardized development path

  A large number of online car-hailing is making travel more convenient, but how to regulate online car-hailing has been an open question.

  Recently, the Shanghai Municipal Traffic Law Enforcement Department is increasing the investigation and punishment of online car-hailing platforms; and the Shenzhen Municipal Transportation Administrative Law Enforcement Detachment has also launched a special project rectification action for illegal operations, and 28 off-site network cars were investigated and punished during the Qingming holiday.

  It is reported that since April, Shenzhen has started to clean up the online car-hailing work for off-site licenses. It is required to complete the cleaning as soon as possible. If the overdue online car-hailing platforms have not cleaned up the off-site licenses, they will be punished. Whether private cars and attached cars can obtain operating licenses has become the focus of attention of all parties.

  Countries around the world have been debating how to regulate online car-hailing. Some developed countries have a complete ban on online car-hailing, and states in the United States have also banned it. Yang Chuantang, Minister of Transportation, said that by designing actionable and enforceable specific policies, new business models will be encouraged to develop in a standardized manner to better meet the high-quality and multi-level travel needs of the people.

  Online car-hailing, as a new thing, brings good experience to passengers. Some experts and citizens said that it should be promoted by designing a new management system to promote its healthy development.

The glass burst during the parking of a Wuling Fenguo car in Haikou at 315 every day. 4S shop: Non-quality problems


Original title: Every day, a Wuling Fenguo car in Haikou exploded during parking. 4S shop: non-quality problem.

Click to view the topic.

On the afternoon of June 18th, Mr. Li from Haikou drove Wuling Fanguo, which had been purchased for less than one year, out on business. During this period, he parked his car on the side of the road, and two hours later, he found that the right front glass of the car had burst. After monitoring nearby, it was found that no one else passed by when the glass burst, so it was questioned that there were quality problems in the automobile glass. The car 4S shop responded that after on-site inspection, there was an obvious "stress point" on the glass, which was caused by external force, so the owner of the car bore the loss.

According to Mr. Li of Haikou, on the afternoon of June 18th, he drove his Wuling Fenguo car, which had been purchased for less than one year, to work in Changliu, Haikou. At about 3: 30 that afternoon, he parked his car at a monitored road. Two hours later, when Mr. Li was about to drive back, he found that the right front glass of the car was covered with "water droplets" and a hole was broken by gently rubbing the glass with his hand.

"At that time, I thought it was air-conditioned water, but I didn’t expect the glass to burst." Mr. Li said that the car glass was intact before parking, and he parked nearby for the first time, and the things in the car were not lost. Therefore, the possibility of man-made smashing cars does not exist. In order to find out the cause of the bursting of the automobile glass, Mr. Li called the police on the spot and found that no one else passed by when the glass burst, so he questioned the quality problems of the automobile glass itself.

Mr. Li believes that the quality problem of automobile glass leads to bursting, so the consequences should be borne by the automobile 4S shop. "My appeal is not excessive. Just give me free replacement of glass and film." Mr. Li said.

On the afternoon of June 20th, the reporter came to Wuling Automobile Haikou Liangju Huanchi Store to learn about the situation. Mr. Zhuo, the receptionist of the store, said that the after-sales manager was on a business trip. However, Mr. Li’s car glass burst was handled by him.

According to Mr. Zhuo, on the day of the incident, when he rushed to the scene to understand the situation, he noticed that there was an obvious "stress point" on the damaged glass. Therefore, the bursting of the automobile glass should be caused by external forces, not the quality problem of the glass itself.

The staff of the 4S shop said that the "stress point" on the automobile glass showed that the glass burst was caused by external force. Reporter Jiang Fei photo

"We gave feedback to the manufacturer, and the manufacturer denied that there was a quality problem with the glass. Therefore, this matter is borne by the owner himself. " Mr. Zhuo said that although the owner provided on-site monitoring, no one appeared nearby at the time of the incident, it could not be ruled out that foreign objects splashed from other directions and hit the glass, which caused the glass to burst. After all, if this was the case, the monitoring could not be photographed. Therefore, the loss of the vehicle should be borne by the owner himself.

Mr. Li expressed dissatisfaction with the reply from the staff of Wuling Automobile Haikou Liangju Huanchi Store: "The video evidence I provided can prove that there is no human factor. How can the 4S store conclude that the so-called’ stress point’ is caused by external forces, not its own quality problems?"

Mr. Li is dissatisfied with the explanation of the 4S shop and has complained to Haikou 12345 hotline.

Tears! These phones take you back to those green days

      Smart phones have developed from nothing, from making phone calls and texting to playing games, listening to music and watching movies, which has made very high progress. At the same time, there are many mobile phone brands, and there are not 10,000 or 1,000 products brought to us. It can be said that our generation has watched the development of smart phones from low-end to high-end, and it has also witnessed the glorious era of smart phones. Today, let’s recall the first smart phone of the mainstream brands in the domestic mobile phone market. Those years are gone forever, and smart phones will inevitably be eliminated. It is full of tears.

Remember the first smartphone from a mobile phone manufacturer?
What was Apple/Samsung/Huawei’s first smartphone of the year?

      First, Steve Jobs emerged with strength, revolutionizing the entire smartphone industry

      Time froze frame to 2007, when Gang Master Qiao appeared in the eyes of the public with the first generation of iPhone. When this mobile phone appeared, it was met with too many white eyes. When Nokia was king, iPhone seemed so "nondescript" – no keyboard, non-removable mobile phone battery, 2G network comparable to turtle speed, etc., such a mobile phone seemed to be a "garbage" at the time. But after time to correct the name, iPhone and Jobs were destined to be written into the annals of history, and it was precisely because of the appearance of iPhone that the entire mobile phone industry began to clean up.

Tears! These phones take you back to those green days
iPhone

      Why is this mobile phone a work that changes the world? Because it pioneered the capacitive screen touch operation, although there have been resistive screen mobile phones, but it can’t be compared to use. This has also become the choice of all smartphones today. In addition, iPhone "integrated body design, non-removable battery" has also continued to the present. Although there are many reports that it will be changed to a detachable design, it only exists on paper and has no actual action. As far as the overall design style of the mobile phone is concerned, the person who changed the entire mobile phone industry is Steve Jobs, that is, iPhone, which is a well-deserved point.

      Second, we have been targeting the high-end market from the outset Samsung Galaxy I7500 shows its power

      Speaking ofSamsung Galaxy I7500 This phone may not be known to many people. This is Samsung’s first Android smartphone. Although it did not bring any major changes to the entire mobile phone industry, the configuration and design at that time were also mainstream high-end flagship products. Therefore, Samsung’s positioning has always been very clear.

Samsung Galaxy I7500

      Samsung i7500 uses a 3.2-inch 16 million color capacitive touch screen with a resolution of 320×480, using AMOLED material panel, Android version 1.5 system, CPU is 528MHz processor. 5 million pixel camera, support LED fill light. 8GB of memory was already very large at that time.1500mAh battery and support 3G network and WiFi connection. This is the configuration of the first tier Android smartphones of the year, although it seems that such a phone may not be wanted for nothing.

      The third largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world, Huawei’s first-generation Android smartphone U8220

      Huawei was one of the first mobile phone manufacturers in China to embrace the Android operating system. The Huawei U8220 was also a well-known carrier-customized machine. The Huawei U8220 was not only Huawei’s first Android smartphone, but also Huawei’s first smartphone. When it went on sale in 2009, the price of only 1,000 yuan also set off a trend of replacement. There was no physical keyboard, and the touch screen was also a trendy design at the time.

Remember the first smartphone from a mobile phone manufacturer?
HUAWEI U8220

      Huawei U8229 uses a 3. Screen, equipped with a 528MHz Qualcomm 7200 processor, a 192MB/256MB memory combination, and an Android 2.1 system. At that time, almost all users called this phone "the king of cost performance". The appearance is piano paint, drop resistance, elegant appearance, and there are many system versions that can be brushed. It is very playable. Compared with the two brands above, Huawei is indeed the first choice for cost performance.

      The above is the first smartphone of the three giants in the current mobile phone market. I don’t know if you still have an impression? In 2007, I was still in junior high school, and the voice and appearance of the girl I had a crush on was still clearly visible. At that time, mobile phones did not have the concept of "smart". The most common feature phones were 10, which did not even take pictures. Replying to messages on the phone was in the form of "text messages". I wonder if you had a mobile phone at that time. Do you still have an impression of replying to QQ messages by text message?

      As time goes by, all the domestic brands that have appeared in recent years have played the banner of "cost performance". Homogeneity is serious, and the configuration has not been greatly improved. At this time, appearance and cost performance are what we want most. At present, there are many manufacturers that focus on cost performance, but there are still not many high-quality manufacturers. Today, let’s take a look at the three mobile phone manufacturers that focus on cost performance, OnePlus, Nubia, and Hammer. Do you remember their first smartphones?

      1. The little prince of the year plus the first generation of smartphones

      When it comes to, you will never be unfamiliar with it. The "Double Eight" configuration has a minimum price of 2999, which has made countless users crazy. Speaking of which, OnePlus products have been known for their high cost performance in recent years. In 2014, the first mobile phone of OnePlus was listed. The configuration at that time was definitely the flagship level. The display screen with 1080P resolution of Snapdragon 801 + 3GB + 16GB/64GB memory combination + was only 1999 yuan at that time. And, when the whole network was released, 1.40 million mobile phones were sold out in an instant, which shows that the popularity of OnePlus is very high. At that time, many experts loved this mobile phone, because the mainstream mobile phone operating system OnePlus was all applicable, which was very conscientious.

      Second, it pioneered the full Netcom network system

      The current smartphone full Netcom is standard. Which flagship phone says it does not have a full Netcom network standard is estimated to be sprayed to death by a large number of people. But N years ago, full Netcom was a problem that plagued domestic mobile phones. It was not until the Nubia Z5 was born in 2012 that the domestic mobile phone broke the deadlock. It is reported that this Nubia’s first smartphone was created by Italian designer Giovannoni, which integrates design aesthetics, visual experience and one-handed control concepts. From a broader perspective, the Nubia Z5 is very much to blame.

      3. The most "stunning white" hammer T1 is really good-looking.

      Now when we buy a machine, in addition to considering the configuration and price, the appearance is also a very important item. If the Hammer T1 is placed in the current aesthetic point of view, it is also very beautiful. In 2014, Lao Luo and Hammer appeared strongly in the public’s field of vision and released their first smartphone, the Hammer T1. The whole body is relatively square but the surrounding area is equipped with a rounded corner transition design. The best part of the front of the phone is the use of three physical buttons side by side at the bottom, and the body adopts an all-round symmetrical design aesthetic style. If you use four words to describe it, it is beautiful.

Hammer T1

      At present, the domestic mobile phone market has gradually evolved into the world’s largest mobile phone market. If the manufacturer is not careful, it may fall into a state of "irreversible". Many mobile phone manufacturers who have accompanied us in those years have disappeared in the long river of history. Those who can survive are either high quality or high appearance. Those who overcharge will eventually be eliminated. Apple’s sales in recent years are not as awesome as those in previous years. The reason may be caused by a series of events such as the frequency reduction door, the shutdown door, and the recall door. Personally, is there any smart phone that has left the deepest impression in your heart? Or who accompanied you to record your entire youth? Feel free to leave a message in the comments below to see if there are any friends from the same era who reminisce about their childhood together!

      Now it is mentioned that the market has undergone a major cleanup. The once brilliant, LG, etc., now have a pitiful market share, but domestic mobile phone brands have risen strongly.With the passage of time and the continuous efforts of manufacturers, the global smartphone market share has been firmly occupied by domestic mobile phones. At this time, young people are basically new to smartphones, and their love for smartphones has also begun to skyrocket. During the same period, too many products that can be called magic machines have emerged, but too many have gradually been buried in the dust of history.

      First, the current Internet mobile phone sales champion actually looked like this back then

      Huawei U8860, also known as Huawei Honor, was first released in the United States and named honor (Honor). At the end of September 2011, Huawei Honor was listed in the United States. The Chinese mainland version is Huawei U8860, a letter plus four numbers behind, Huawei U8860, which is also the specific model of Huawei Honor. The price of this U8860 is 1899 yuan. Using Qualcomm, Snapdragon MSM8255T, 512MB RAM + 4GB ROM memory combination, 1930mAh battery capacity, front 300,000 pixel camera and rear 8 million pixel camera.

      Second, the domestic machine emperor of the year, the classic Meizu M8 in the classic

      Speaking of Meizu’s first mobile phone M8, it can definitely be called a "miracle" at the time. According to the media reports of the year: in just two months after the launch of the M8, the sales volume has reached 100,000, and in just 5 months, the sales have exceeded 500 million yuan. In 2009, other domestic mobile phone manufacturers almost lost money across the board, and the M8 mobile phone rose against the market, which is a great miracle. To say its biggest breakthrough, it has to be the sound quality and external playback function of the mobile phone, which may be a very high technological innovation at the moment.

      The first Android smartphone with dual-core processor, Xiaomi 1

      Time freeze frame to August 16, 2011, Xiaomi’s first smartphone, Xiaomi 1, was released. In the era of HTC and Nokia’s smartphones that cost 4,000 yuan, the first generation impressed consumers with an amazing Internet phone of 1999 yuan. At the same time, this is also the first Android smartphone with dual-core processor, and the first smartphone in China to do smart phones. Xiaomi’s sales model has also spread from then to the present – low price, high configuration, "hunger marketing", etc., quickly occupied a considerable share of the mobile phone market. It has to be said that Xiaomi is a success.

      IV. Since the first smartphone, sound effects and photography have been used as selling points

      Speaking of OPPO everyone is definitely not unfamiliar, the development in recent years is very good, almost every city has its experience store existence, whenever the new machine is released, always in the first time called a popular product. Also in 2011, a few days before the launch of Xiaomi 1, OPPO’s first smartphone X903 (alias OPPO Find) released, joined the Dolby surround sound selling point, and used 8 million pixel rear camera, because it is a side-sliding keyboard design, so the front-facing camera was passed off, support 720P high definition recording, LED fill light, support fun LOMO photography and so on, although now it seems that there is no egg, but at that time it was definitely a good machine.

      According to the current perspective, the smartphones of the past can basically be summarized as "ugly". However, thanks to their appearance, they paved the way for the current smartphones, resulting in many good products such as the OPPO R15. For that era, who is the most beautiful opportunity in your heart?

      The age of everyone here will definitely be graded, but personally, when I was a child, I was accompanied by Samsung Galaxy throughout my youth, which is also the most famous smart manufacturer at the moment. Of course, everyone’s youth has a different story. Maybe your youth was accompanied by Nokia, his youth was accompanied by Huawei, and she was accompanied by OPPO’s beautiful smartphones. Today, I will sort out the smartphones mentioned earlier for you. Today’s flagship products, if there is an opportunity in your heart, you may wish to leave a message to tell us.

      And HUAWEI Mate 10 Pro

      First of all iPhone, although the sales volume in recent years is not as good as before, it is also the largest company in the current market value. The iPhone X released last year was praised by many technology media and users as the king of the machine, even if the "notch screen" looked ugly at the time, but now there are a large number of loyal Android imitators. It has to be said that this bangs design is really a reliable way to solve the problem of full screen.iPhone X purchase direct

      Samsung S9 can be said to be the most popular smartphone at present, not only equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 mobile platform, but also a significant improvement in the camera.The size of the aperture can be adjusted for different functions of light, and the two apertures are f/1.5 and f/2.4 respectively.

      The design style is definitely one of the best at the moment.The front of the fuselage adopts a hidden design, which hides the breathing light, light and distance sensor, while the micro-seam handset is hidden between the front panel and the middle frame through the special design of the fuselage structure. Only one camera is left on the front face, and the panel is more concise. The screen ratio is higher.

      The configuration of Honor V10 is definitely the mainstream flagship level at present, using its own HiSilicon Kirin 970 processor, which is definitely among the best in terms of the overall performance of the mobile phone. The memory combination of 4GB + 64GB, 6GB + 64GB/128GB makes us absolutely unable to feel the card in our daily use.Front 13 million pixel camera rear 20 million + 16 million dual camera is also the mainstream level, how to shoot how to shoot.Honor V10 purchase direct

      The phenomenon of mobile phone homogeneity has become increasingly serious, and almost all manufacturers want to come up with different products in today’s era. Meizu is also one of them.Last year, Meizu released its flagship, which made many people remember him at a glance. This mobile phone not only continues Meizu’s meticulous features, but also has a deep cooperation with the multinational design consulting company frog, which has brought us stunning screen painting functions.Meizu Pro 7 purchase direct

      Xiaomi, as a manufacturer that began to enter the full-screen mobile phone market in the early days, has produced rather gratifying works.The four-curved ceramic body is used, the camera decorative ring is all 18K gold-plated, and the frame part of the body is made of 7-series aluminum. At the same time, in order to improve the hand problems reported by the previous generation of users, the small 2 adopts a new generation of rounded corner screen, and the whole machine is more rounded and round.

At the same time, mobile phones are the most used electronic devices around everyone today. Without good operation, smooth performance, and a good experience, it is definitely not in line with our appetite. If you want to have a little pursuit of your own quality of life, you might as well take a look at the above mainstream mobile phones, and there are many activities to bless!

The Birth of the Blockbuster | Isn’t Jackie Chan’s version of "The Avengers" fragrant?

1905 movie network feature Before we start today’s topic, let’s take a look at a set of stills for comparison.


In 1985, when Jackie Chan was filming, he jumped the guardrail in a shopping mall for the first time, completing this classic action picture in film history. 35 years later, Jackie Chan, 66 years old, did not take risks again, but used "ingenuity" and lines to pay homage and ridicule.


As Jackie Chan said in an interview: "Do you think I can do the same moves now? I can’t do it. For example, if you jump out of the window, I may have to lay the groundwork because my knees are no longer working. You said that if I do an air 360, 680, 780 (rotation) now, maybe the audience will know that it is a double at a glance, right? I might as well do the physical movements that I can really do. In fact, the danger of filming for us is every day. We action actors really go into battle by ourselves, and we experience life and death every day."

Some people say that Jackie Chan is getting old, which is true, but it would be unfounded to worry that his movies are no longer good.


Because today’s Jackie Chan is no longer fighting alone.


This time, the young actors who are partnering with Jackie Chan are Yang Yang, Alan, Zhu Zhengting, and the matriarch… They have achieved self-breakthroughs under the dual direction of Tang Jili and Jackie Chan (who is not as physically fit as before and has also focused more on teaching young juniors, and has become an "assistant director" on the shooting scene). They have become "kung fu masters" who can fight and shoot, and have jointly completed this National Day’s hardest and most explosive action blockbuster. Among them, it is not the first time that "Yoga Dragon Girl" has cooperated with Jackie Chan, and the clever skills and stunning glimpses in it are enough to make people unforgettable.


In fact, Jackie Chan’s "hand-holding" model with young filmmakers has gradually become the standard of Jackie Chan’s films since the new century. Before the new century, with the rapid development of his career, Jackie Chan once experienced from "matching Takesung (from 1978 to 1985) " to "matching local stars (from 1985" Police Story "with Maggie Cheung to 1989 with Anita Mui) " to "matching international stars (from 1991 with Ivago Gebao, Ikeda Masako, Aldo Sambrell to 2007 with Chris Tucker, Sanada Hiroyuki, etc.) " The international cooperation model also made it famous all over the world.


Since the beginning of the new century, especially after conquering Hollywood with a trilogy, Jackie Chan has paid more attention to promoting newcomers. Starting from the word-of-mouth work in 2004 (and the previous series), Jackie Chan has started many collaborations with film rookies such as Wu Yanzu (2009, 2012) and Nicholas Tse (2006, 2011). Take the "Kung Fu Yoga" (2017), which he collaborated with Tang Jili, as an example, the emergence of fresh blood such as Zhang Yixing, Li Zhiting, Motherhood and Shang Yuxian has continuously enriched and revived the temperament of Jackie Chan’s films.


But if you think Jackie Chan’s movies are only "hand-holding" these days, then you still think of Big Brother as simple.


Jackie Chan’s "hand-holding 1 + 4" combination with the four filmmakers in "The Pioneer" continues this advantage again. But if you analyze this combination carefully, you will find that they are not just "hand-holding". To be clear, if you are a Marvel fan, you will find the similarities between this combination and "The Avengers", and you will also see the "Avengers" version of Jackie Chan’s "Avengers" that this film is trying to build.


Pioneer Commander-in-Chief Tang Huanting

Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.


As the commander-in-chief of the Chinese security team’s vanguard, Jackie Chan’s Tang Huanting needs to lead his team to heaven and earth, traveling around the world to perform thrilling rescue; at the same time, Tang Huanting is more responsible for commanding the commander’s role in participating in the operation, handing over more combat operations to the team members, and constantly recruiting elites from all over the world, which is in line with the real commander of the Avengers – Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., the brave and gentle man who stands behind many superheroes.


Of course, "the train runs fast, it all depends on the headband". In addition to directing the action, Tang Huanting’s character also has to fulfill the audience’s primary mission of buying tickets – watching Jackie Chan’s fighting scenes, so drag racing, gun battles, hand-to-hand combat, kung fu comedy, and single-handedly challenging the final boss. In the "Avengers" series, in addition to being in charge of the headquarters, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. will also appear on the battlefield at critical moments to help superheroes.


Operation Captain Lei Zhenyu

Captain America


If the male protagonists of the Avengers are Team America and Iron Man, then the male protagonists of "Pioneer" are Yang Yang and Alan. In terms of identity, Yang Yang plays Lei Zhenyu, the captain of the Pioneer Action Squad who was a veteran in the film, who can be called Captain China, which corresponds to the soldier-born Captain America; in terms of speech and demeanor, his upright, unsmiling and positive energy endorsement style of the US team; at the same time, his spirit of saving his comrades’ lives and deaths is also very similar to the US team; in addition, he and the US team are also responsible for the appearance of the team.


The single Lei Zhenyu shows chivalry and retracts his love for his children while he is alone with the daughter of his client (a Chinese businessman). During the rescue operation, he becomes a hostage again. He is tied up with explosives, and he is ambushed during the rescue by Zhang Kaixuan (Alan). He says solemnly: "I can’t be shot." Zhang Kaixuan says angrily: "I can’t be shot either!"


Zhang Kaixuan + Divine Eagle

Iron Man + Falcon


When it comes to Allen’s role as Zhang Kaixuan, it can be called the whole film’s funny responsibility, and it also transforms Allen from a comedian to an action comedian. The restaurant’s fire extinguisher throwing and durian and other improvised fighting scenes even have a bit of the look of Jackie Chan’s big brother back then. However, what makes him most like Iron Man is his unrestrained sense of humor, which is reflected in the shaking of baggage and poisonous tongue anytime and anywhere. In the face of Lei Zhenyu, who just had CPR + artificial respiration to save himself from crying in a mess, he came up and joked, "Did you kiss me just now? You have to be responsible for me."


The technological side of Iron Man is corresponded by the weapon expert Divine Condor (Zhu Zhengting, played) who also flies around freely in the Pioneer Squad. Divine Condor is the technological responsibility of the Pioneer, and is also responsible for high school combat and hacking technology. Iron Man is also the man who once held the air supremacy in the Avengers, not to mention the technical support brought by his huge Stark Empire. Of course, from the perspective of armored weapon shape and color scheme, Divine Condor is more like a war machine. In addition, the name Divine Condor and the flying shape make it difficult not to think of the Falcon who joined the Avengers in the later stage.


Mia

Black Widow


The same camouflage, fighting, shooting, drag racing, freehand decathlon, the same responsible for beauty, the same black leather jacket and red hair color, the same female power spokesperson, you said that Mia (motherly and elegant, played) did not refer to Black Widow at all. It is estimated that no one will believe it. Female power has always been an indispensable bright color in Jackie Chan’s action movies, but Mia, who is Muse’s female man image, has undoubtedly become the eye-catching role in the team like Widow Sister.


Despite using players with different talents and personalities to create Jackie Chan’s version of "Avengers" and complete the Chinese version of superhero group portraits, "The Pioneer" still has some problems, which is why its box office and reputation lag behind several other National Day blockbusters.

The first is the similarity of the mode. "The Pioneer" still maintains the characteristics of Jackie Chan’s kung fu films of kung fu comedy + exotic style + handsome men and women. The breakthrough in innovation is limited, which inevitably makes the audience feel aesthetic fatigue, especially after experiencing the National Day film’s baptism; secondly, the weakening of the plot and lines caused by the heavy reliance on action and special effects makes it easy for the audience to play; finally, the dislocation of the schedule, from the beginning to the end, the film fits the meaning of the Spring Festival family fun is obvious, but it is cold in the National Day file, which is quite untimely.


Even so, the 66-year-old Jackie Chan is still the absolute male protagonist of Chinese action movies. In addition to his continuous exploration in the field of film, his most important thing in recent years is to support newcomers. From this, we can see the cooperation between generations of young actors and Jackie Chan, and see the "hand-holding" of the big brother, which promotes the continuous progress of kung fu comedy and Chinese action movies.


Six movies got together for the Spring Festival, Andy Lau and Wu Jing teamed up, and Zhang Yimou pulled out a luxurious lineup

Not long ago, everyone lamented that the number of movies released in cinemas in China recently was too small, and there were too few new movies to watch. Looking at this situation, could it be that fans will encounter the coldest Spring Festival in history?

As a result, a new change took place every day, starting with "The Wandering Earth II" starring Andy Lau and Wu Jing, which fired the first shot. It was confirmed early that it would meet everyone during the Spring Festival.

Then, the file is directed by Zhang Yimou, the collection of Shen Teng, Jackson Yee, Lei Jiayin, Zhang Yi and other luxury lineup "Manjianghong" and Tony Leung and Wang Yibo cross-dimensional cooperation "Nameless";

The animated film "Deep Blue," a new work by the director of the animated film "The Return of the Great Sage," and the comedy film "Swap Life," starring Zhang Xiaofei and Lei Jiayin, were also announced.

And when everyone didn’t notice it, there was another animation locked in the Spring Festival file, that is, "Bear Haunting · Accompanying Me" "Bear Core" of the "Bear Haunting Series".

At first glance, six movies were piled up all at once, and in a trance, everyone couldn’t help but sigh, why did it seem that every movie had to be released during the Spring Festival for a moment, and Chinese cinemas couldn’t continue to run after leaving the Spring Festival schedule?

This phenomenon is not surprising. It is indeed because this schedule has great profits that so many producers can rush to the Spring Festival file.

First, let’s take a look at the considerations of these films themselves.

This time, many of the movies released during the Spring Festival are considered to be the return of the king.

The reason why "The Wandering Earth II" was the first to determine the Spring Festival file is because its first film made a comeback at the box office during the Spring Festival in 2019, becoming the dark horse of the year. Thinking about that year, when everyone watched movies on the first day of the new year, they all went to "Crazy Aliens" starring Shen Teng and Huang Bo. For domestic science fiction films like "The Wandering Earth", most people felt scorned, and no matter how they imagined that our country could still make good hard science fiction.

Who knows, the movie finally won 4.70 billion yuan at the box office. "The Wandering Earth" left a name in the history of Chinese movies, but "Crazy Alien" did not find this person. That year’s Spring Festival, everyone saw the director’s strength and ambition. The counterattack of "The Wandering Earth" and the Spring Festival file also became a famous event, so this movie will naturally choose a familiar battlefield when the sequel is launched.

In the same way, there is another "Exchange Life" starring Zhang Xiaofei, which is basically the same event. The last time, Zhang Xiaofei starred in the movie "Hello, Li Huanying", which was also a dark horse that appeared in the Spring Festival. Finally, relying solely on the domestic market, it won the 5.40 billion box office, making Jia Ling the highest-grossing female director in the world, and also sent Zhang Xiaofei, a once unknown actress, to the position of Golden Rooster Queen.

The one that lost miserably that year was "Detective Chinatown 3", which was delayed for a year. "Hello Li Huanying" can be said to occupy the right place and the right time. In short, many people say that if Jia Ling and Zhang Xiaofei are replaced, this movie can also win such a high box office, but the problem is that they are the two who succeed. In short, whether Jia Ling is the lucky general of the Spring Festival or Zhang Xiaofei is the lucky general of the Spring Festival, the producer also wants to make a good prize, hoping that Zhang Xiaofei can hang up like last time.

The movie "Manjianhong" is Zhang Yimou’s second entry into the Spring Festival, the last time was last year’s "Sniper". The theme of resisting the United States and assisting North Korea appeared in a peaceful atmosphere of family fun. During the New Year, a movie with a sad tone was released, but with its strong word-of-mouth, the box office fell and the film placement rate rose day by day. Therefore, Lao Mozi also saw this market and felt that there was still something to do this year.

In addition, it is the impact of the market environment.

According to the State Film Administration, the total box office of the national film in 2022 is 30.067 billion yuan, and the number of people watching the movie in the city cinema is 712 million. The data is heartbreaking, but fortunately, with the relaxation of policies, people inside and outside the industry regard the past year as the last winter of the Chinese film market.

Now that the cold winter had passed, it would be the season of spring blossoms. When people’s movie viewing demand was suppressed to the extreme, there might be a bottoming out rebound. All the film studios also held this mentality and decided to get a share of the first Spring Festival stall to come to everyone.

Porsche responded to Xiaomi’s "plagiarism": a dirty word was not said, but every word was criticized.

On March 28th, after the SU7 was unveiled, it was teased by netizens that the appearance of the car was similar, calling it "Mi Shijie".

Judging from the details of the appearance, it is indeed very similar to Porsche, and even after covering the logo, it will make people feel stupid and unclear.

Lei Jun, founder of Xiaomi Automobile, said at the press conference that Xiaomi Automobile should build a Dream Car comparable to Porsche and Porsche. However, many people questioned why Porsche didn’t sue Xiaomi when Xiaomi SU7 "paid tribute" to Porsche.

The reason is that although Xiaomi has borrowed from it, it is very advanced. Xiaomi’s approach is between direct copying and his own design. The design of this car has the shadow of Porsche, but it cannot be said that it is completely copied from Porsche. Although this makes Porsche angry, it is helpless, and like, it is indeed almost a one-to-one copy.

As for the tribute to Xiaomi Automobile, Porsche executives recently responded, "For the similarities between Xiaomi SU7 and Porsche, I think maybe a good design is always in the heart." On 14th, during the 4th China International Consumer Goods Expo, Michael Kirsch, President and CEO of Porsche China, said in an exclusive interview with the media.

In addition, Porsche executives also said that Porsche has followed the brand’s unique design aesthetics and the creed of "design follows function" and has formed a distinctive brand recognition in the past 75 years. Porsche always adheres to the spirit of innovation in product research and development, and adheres to strict and meticulous standards in product manufacturing."We look forward to fair, just, honest and legal benign competition with enterprises that apply the same standards or even higher requirements."

This wave of response doesn’t seem to blame Xiaomi Automobile, but the master speaks and every sentence is learning. Let’s analyze it carefully.

First of all, "Good design always has a heart in mind" does not directly point out that Xiaomi’s car has been copied, but it has a heart in mind, which is poking fun at Xiaomi. It can be said that the two sides have no communication before, have never seen each other’s works, and then make the same design. It can be said that there is a heart in mind. After all, Porsche’s design came out first, and it is highly recognized and recognizable. Everyone can know that it is Porsche’s work at a glance.

Look at the second sentence, "Porsche has followed the brand’s unique design aesthetics and the creed of" design follows function ",and has formed a distinctive brand recognition in the past 75 years", which almost clearly accuses Xiaomi of plagiarism. The unique design and distinctive recognition is to say that Porsche’s design has its own characteristics and high recognition. It is difficult for the two car companies to form such a coincidence in design.

Look at the third sentence,"We look forward to fair, just, honest and legal benign competition with enterprises that apply the same standards or even higher requirements." This sentence is a slap in the face. In the first half of the sentence, it is obvious that some people look down on Xiaomi Automobile, saying that Xiaomi Automobile and Porsche are not competitors at the same level, and in terms of standards, they are not at the same level as Porsche. In the second half, they directly accuse Xiaomi Automobile of not competing with Porsche fairly, justly and legally.

This wave of Porsche’s response doesn’t seem to blame Xiaomi, but there is something in it. The meaning of belittling and accusing Xiaomi is very obvious. Many people say that Porsche is too damaged, but you must know that Porsche is a victim, and the design passed down by others for decades can be used for reference. It is not very meaningful to sue you. Can people not be angry?

Some netizens suggested that Xiaomi simply buy Porsche, which is also a bit funny. The parent company of Porsche is that in 2023, audi ag’s operating income was 322.3 billion euros, which was the second largest in the world. Although it was impacted by new energy vehicles, it was not a new recruit who just entered the automobile industry. Porsche is an important sub-brand of Volkswagen and a profit cow of Volkswagen Group. Will people sell it casually?

Needless to say, this interview of Porsche China executives is really quite good, which is much higher than that of some domestic car executives. There is not a word of criticism, but it expresses Porsche’s attitude, which is worth learning from domestic executives.

New regulations on online car-hailing will be introduced in May? The focus of debate remains private car access


Cartography/Gao Xiang

  On the 20th, it was reported that the "Interim Measures for the Management of Online Booking Taxi Business Services" (referred to as the "Measures") will be issued as soon as early May and at the latest by the end of May. It is also said that the new regulations impose restrictions on online car-hailing platforms, vehicles, drivers, etc. Therefore, some commentators believe that the test of life and death for online car-hailing platforms is coming. In fact, similar rumors have been made many times, but whether this time it will come true remains to be seen.

  Guess/

  Rumors have been heard many times, can it come true this time?

  Since October 10, 2015, the Ministry of Transport issued the "Interim Measures for the Management of Online Booking Taxi Business Services (Exposure Draft) " and the "Guiding Opinions on Deepening Reform and Further Promoting the Healthy Development of the Taxi Industry (Exposure Draft) ", there have been many rumors about when the new regulations on online car-hailing will come to fruition, but they have all been falsified by facts.

  In December 2015, there was news in the industry that "the new policy for special cars may be announced and implemented as soon as January 1, 2016". On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, there were also rumors that the revised and adjusted "Interim Measures" based on public opinion may be introduced before the Spring Festival at the soonest, but it has not been introduced in the end.

  In comparison, this rumor seems to be more credible. The rumor not only claims that the new regulations will be introduced as soon as early May, but also claims that the upcoming "Measures" put forward specific requirements for online car-hailing platforms, vehicles and drivers. Among them, the online car-hailing platform needs to be registered in a certain place and needs to obtain a "Road Transport Operation Permit"; the nature of the use of online car-hailing vehicles is registered as taxi passenger transportation, and it needs to obtain a "Road Transport Certificate" for booking taxis; drivers need to obtain a "Road Transport Practitioner Qualification Certificate" and so on.

  Whether this rumor will come true is still unknown, but what is certain is that the new regulations have been formulated, and it is only a matter of when the shoes will fall. At the two sessions this year, Yang Chuantang, the minister of transportation, publicly disclosed that the guidance on the standardized management of special cars and several measures have been formulated, and the time for their introduction is hoped to be "as soon as possible." In addition, a number of special car platforms have revealed that they have knowledge of the content of the "Measures" and "the plan may be announced at any time."

  Response/

  Didi Uber China is still unaware of it

  In response to online rumors, the reporter of West China Metropolis Daily contacted the relevant person in charge of several domestic online car-hailing platforms. At present, although the nature of domestic online car-hailing platforms is the same, the specific operation mode is also different, so the attitude towards the new regulations of online car-hailing is also different.

  "At present, we don’t know whether the rumors are true or false. We don’t comment. We can only respond after the new regulations are officially promulgated and implemented." The relevant person in charge of Uber China told reporters that Uber has made its attitude clear about the new regulations on special cars. It is understood that after the introduction of the new regulations exposure draft, Uber responded immediately and said that it will take the initiative to adapt to the new regulations and apply for the required qualifications and licenses as soon as possible.

  If the new regulations are as rumored, the new regulations for special cars are not much different from previous exposure drafts. Online car-hailing platforms must first obtain a "Road Transportation Operation Permit", which is not difficult for each platform. Didi, Uber and others have already obtained licenses in China. But the requirements for vehicles and drivers of the new regulations are currently difficult for any online car-hailing platform to achieve.

  "There is a lot of controversy about whether private cars can be connected to special cars, and several platforms together involve more than 1 million cars." The relevant person in charge of Didi told reporters that not only this, but also the travel of hundreds of millions of people will be affected. The relevant person in charge of Didi’s government affairs department also said that the new regulations on the "scrapping of special vehicles in eight years" stipulate that "the threshold is too high, which will cause waste of resources".

  In fact, different platforms have different attitudes towards the new regulations on special cars. "The new policy is consistent with the previous supervision ideas of the Ministry of Transport on online car-hailing, reflecting the supervision ideas of people-oriented, compatible and open, and encouraging innovative development." The relevant person in charge of Shenzhou Special Car told the West China Metropolis Daily that Shenzhou Special Car supports and welcomes the new policy and hopes that the new policy of special car supervision will be introduced as soon as possible.

  Focus/

  The controversy over access to private cars

  It has been more than half a year since the introduction of the exposure draft of the "Management Measures", but the new policy has not been officially introduced. "The reason why it is difficult to give birth, the focus of everyone’s debate is still the issue of private car access, whether it is the government or enterprises, they are all playing a multi-party game," Zhang Xu, a senior analyst at Analysys think tank, told reporters.

  Rumor has it that the "Administrative Measures" require "the nature of the use of online car-hailing vehicles to be registered as rental passenger transportation", which is considered to have a fatal impact on the entire online car-hailing business. "At present, the vehicles on the online car-hailing platform are either private cars or rental vehicles. If a private car wants to participate in the online car-hailing operation, it needs to change the nature of the vehicle. Once it becomes a commercial vehicle, the scrapping period of the private car will become eight years or less." Industry insiders believe.

  "The goal of the state’s new regulations on special cars is also to balance the interests of all parties, but in the process of implementation, all parties will also face many problems." Hu Yong, an associate researcher at the Institute of Sociology of the Sichuan Academy of Social Sciences, told reporters that it is not easy to balance the interests of all parties. In the absence of consensus among all parties, Zhou Qiren, a professor at the National Development Institute of Peking University, believes that Chinese cities are so different that it is impossible for them all to implement one transportation model. It is best for the Ministry of Transport to come up with a guide and make principled regulations, and let local governments pilot the rest.

  Zhang Xu also believes that the development of the sharing economy has become an irreversible trend. "Some of the provisions in the new regulations have a big impact on the special cars under the sharing economy. I don’t think the government will destroy an industry by regulating it." Zhang Xu said that some of the provisions in the exposure draft "deserve careful consideration by the government."

  The good news for all platforms is that during the two sessions this year, Yang Chuantang, Minister of Transport, once said that when dealing with new things, we must not stand still and stick to the rules. As a new thing, online car-hailing brings a good experience to passengers, and it is necessary to give this service method a legal way out. Yang Chuantang also said that he will select representative cities to carry out pilots to innovate the mode and technical means of supervising the emerging service industry of Internet platforms.

Meizu is deep in the storm of store closures and layoffs: multiple personnel adjustments in the short term

  Meizu said there were indeed layoffs, which belonged to the "last elimination"; experts said that Meizu did not find suitable space in the high-end market

  In the spring of 2018, the domestic mobile phone industry was really lively, with representative companies such as Xiaomi and Huawei chasing after each other to compete for the market. However, a once-brilliant mobile phone manufacturer has fallen out of people’s sight – Meizu. At its most glorious time, Meizu could be called the most cost-effective "machine emperor" in China, but now Meizu is not what it used to be, and the problem it needs to consider is likely to be how to "change and survive".

  Recently, there is news that Meizu will usher in a round of layoffs, and the number of layoffs will exceed 1,000. On March 30, Meizu said that layoffs do exist, but they belong to the "last elimination" mechanism, and the news of layoffs of 1,000 people is seriously inconsistent with the facts. Not only that, at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, the market reported the closure of Meizu stores.

  Some industry insiders said that layoffs and store closures are just the beginning for Meizu, which is "left behind" in the competition of mobile phone manufacturers. In today’s increasingly oligopolistic market, Meizu is running out of time.

  Three consecutive years of layoffs, several personnel adjustments in a short period of time

  In fact, this is Meizu’s third consecutive year of layoffs. In early 2016, after Meizu founder, chairperson and CEO Huang Zhang put forward the goal of "stabilizing growth, generating profits, and advancing to the IPO", Meizu launched the annual elimination plan, and the scale of layoffs increased from the original 5% to 10%. In early 2017, Meizu also reported layoffs. It was reported that the layoff rate reached 25%, involving thousands of people, but Meizu responded that it was still around 10%.

  In addition to layoffs, Meizu has also made several structural and personnel adjustments in the short term. Following the independent split of Meizu, Meizu, and Flyme in June 2017, Meizu released a notice on the adjustment of the company’s central-level organizational structure and personnel appointments at the end of last year. A new overseas business unit was established to be responsible for the overseas business of the company’s products. Guo Wanxi was appointed vice president of Meizu’s business unit and also served as president of the overseas business unit. He was responsible for the related business and team management of the overseas business unit and reported to Chairperson and CEO Huang Zhang. According to reports, the overseas business unit was originally subordinate to Meizu’s business unit, and its independence largely indicates Meizu’s determination to fight overseas.

  The domestic mobile phone market has been divided up by several major manufacturers, and it is no longer news that domestic mobile phones are going overseas to seek new growth opportunities. Third-party research firm Kantar
According to a report released by Worldpanel, as of the end of October last year, Huawei, Xiaomi, Apple, Vivo and OPPO, the top five mobile phone manufacturers in China, accounted for 91% of the total market share. Last year, this figure was still 79%. In other words, the advantage of the above five mobile phone manufacturers over ZTE, Meizu and other companies has been further expanded in the past year.

  It is understood that Meizu sold 2 million mobile phones in the overseas market in 2016, and performed well in South East Asia and Eastern Europe. It hopes to further develop in the Western European market. IDC data shows that Chinese mobile phone manufacturers have a share of more than 50% in the Indian smartphone market.

  Meizu released the Indian version of the MX5 mobile phone in 2015, but it has not made much progress since then. In addition, the overseas business of Xiaomi, Huawei, OPPO, vivo and other successful mobile phone brands in China is also advancing steadily. After Meizu goes overseas, it still has to compete head-to-head with these old competitors.

  Meizu set up the accessories division at the end of last year, responsible for the company’s accessories product research and development, marketing activities and sales. Industry insiders believe that Meizu’s move is also to seek more profit margins.

  Market research firm CCS
Insight mentioned in a report that as the profits of the mobile phone business gradually decrease, at least three of the top ten mobile phone manufacturers will have higher profits in the accessories business than in the mobile phone business, and the main manufacturers will focus on the development of branded accessories and connected device products like Xiaomi, which can bring higher profits.

  The store was closed, and the clerk complained that the product was not selling well.

  Meizu’s offline channels have encountered some trouble. Earlier this year, it was reported that Meizu’s previous 2,500 or so stores had closed more than 500.

  Regarding rumors of store closures, Meizu told the Beijing News: "There are not as many as 500 store closures. There are store closures and openings every day. Agents in each region only know the local situation. They don’t know the specific situation in other regions. They can’t determine the current situation of the entire Meizu based on the words of one company."

  A Beijing News reporter recently visited some Meizu stores in Beijing. A Meizu staff member who has been engaged in sales in Beijing for two years told the reporter that she did hear that some stores were closed, but the reason was that some employees’ residences changed, resulting in a shortage of manpower, which has little to do with business. But at the same time, she also complained that "compared with the previous two years, mobile phones are not easy to sell now." She believes that this is mainly affected by the overall weakness of offline stores.

  When the reporter visited Meizu stores located in Wudaokou and Qinghe earlier this year, he saw that the stores were all located on the side of the entrance and exit of the supermarket, and the flow of people in front of the door was not small, but no one entered the store within 20 minutes of the reporter’s observation.

  Meizu said that store closures and openings are optimization actions carried out through the performance and standards of specialty stores, closing stores that do not meet the requirements, and re-locating to open new stores. This optimization is relatively intensive during this time. "Last year, Meizu only had one PRO.
"7 flagship products, and Meizu’s dream machine will only appear this year. At this stage, it is Meizu’s intermission time. During this time, Meizu will adjust its state and situation to better prepare for the second half, which is this year’s product."

  "The market competition has become more intense, and Meizu’s hardware and advertising marketing have not kept up," an internal Meizu employee told reporters. Since 2015, Meizu has dominated sales with high cost performance, design and system experience. "At that time, Meizu’s cost performance has the momentum to catch up with Xiaomi." But more and more brands are deploying cost-effective smartphones. By 2016, Meizu’s cost-effective advantage is no longer obvious. "Sales can be maintained solely by the system and word of mouth."

  Meizu, which values offline channels and user word-of-mouth, is never stingy with the commission of sales personnel. A Meizu mobile phone salesperson told reporters, "Take the flagship as an example, Xiaomi sells a unit for ten yuan, and Meizu can raise 100 yuan." This is also the reason why he chose to sell Meizu mobile phones two years ago. But now, he is not satisfied with the income. "The year before, Double Eleven took more than 10,000 yuan, and last year it was only 6,000 or 7,000 yuan."

  In 2017, the word-of-mouth that Meizu relies on for survival was in crisis, and public opinion such as "delayed full-screen", "insufficient innovation", and "configuration can’t keep up" made it difficult for Meizu’s sales to break through. The above-mentioned employee said, "Although the hardware and marketing are temporarily lagging behind, Meizu’s advantages are still many, and there may be breakthroughs in 2018."

  Expert: Meizu misses the extended product line window

  For the mobile phone industry, 2017 was a watershed year. According to IDC data, the Chinese smartphone market contracted for the first time in nearly a decade in 2017, contracting by 4.9% year-on-year. Affected by the Chinese market, the global smartphone market shipments also decreased by 0.1% year-on-year.

  "With the overall market shrinking and industry competition intensifying, Meizu has clearly lost its footing," said Fu Liang, a telecom analyst. Meizu once had a loyal customer base that could support Meizu’s high price points, but as competitors have launched competitive products, Meizu’s products have become less attractive to users.

  Full screen is undoubtedly the keyword of the mobile phone industry last year, especially iPhone
After the release of X, domestic mobile phone manufacturers came together to release full-screen products, and Gionee released 8 full-screen products in one go. In this full-screen mobile phone battle, Meizu was slow to enter the market and became one of the few manufacturers that did not release full-screen mobile phones in time.

  The Pro 7 released by Meizu in July last year obviously failed to carry the banner of the flagship machine. Pro positioned for high-end machines
7 was priced at 2,880 yuan when it was released, and by mid-November the price had been reduced by more than 300 yuan. It was jokingly called the "diving king" of smartphones last year by netizens. The reporter saw on Taobao that some stores sold Pro.
7 contract machines, the minimum price is 1250 yuan.

  Meizu Pro
7 The biggest attraction is the large and small dual-screen design, which adds a small screen on the back. When users take selfies with dual cameras on the back, they can see themselves from the small screen. When the user flips the phone, the screen will light up, and the date, time, weather and other content can be displayed on it.

  The differentiated users of the Pro 7 do not seem to buy it. Sun Yanbiao of First Mobile World told reporters, "Meizu is one of the top ten mainstream brands in China, but it does not have a flagship product, Pro
The 7 can’t carry its banner. Everyone doesn’t feel much about the dual screen, and there is no trend. Everyone is unwilling to pay, and the Pro 7 is in stock. "

  Sun Yanbiao pointed out that one of the key reasons for Meizu’s previous offline strength is the diversion of online to offline. When placing an order online, if the user cannot grab the order, the user’s order may be directed to the offline store near the place of residence. "Meizu’s offline channels have been going up since last year. Last year, it was obvious that the situation was not as good as last year. The lack of flagship phones, brand differentiation, and changes in senior management led to today’s situation."

  At a time when domestic manufacturers are launching higher-priced products, Meilan cannot find a suitable market space, and high-end products face weaker user stickiness, Fu Liang pointed out. "Meizu should focus its energy and resources now to find a breakthrough point," Fu Liang said, Meizu has missed the time window to extend the entire product line.

How about a small WiFi signal?

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.

  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.

  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.
