Zhiji, it’s hard to be a prince of SAIC’s new energy vehicle.

For SAIC, Zhiji Automobile is a proper "prince", and it comes with its own aura and is highly anticipated.

Investment from SAIC, Ali and Zhangjiang Hi-Tech recently reached RMB 3 billion, with a valuation of RMB 30 billion.

At the presentation of SAIC’s 2022 semi-annual report, Zhiji was a "major strategic innovation project" of SAIC, and it was also mentioned in the semi-annual report that Zhiji Automobile was an important starting point for SAIC’s "upward development of independent vehicles".

At the beginning of the year, during the worst epidemic in Shanghai, SAIC tried its best to allocate resources to ensure that key new products such as Zhiji L7 went on sale. Zhiji Automobile has also been emphasizing the background of SAIC.

However, the sales of Zhiji L7 are not satisfactory. Since the delivery in late June, the delivery volume is not good. According to the data disclosed by the Association, in September, Zhiji L7 sold 1,019 units, and in July and August, it sold 816 units and 1,007 units respectively.

In the past, there were competitors such as Weilai, and behind them, there was a "direct biography" brother Feifan Automobile, which was about to go public. At that time, it would also seize the resources of SAIC. Can Zhiji afford to be the prince of SAIC?

In January, it sold for 1000 yuan, but it was difficult for the prince to win public support.

In September, the auto market improved.

Recently, according to the latest automobile sales data released by China Automobile Industry Association, the automobile sales volume in September was 2.61 million units, up 9.5% month-on-month and 25.7% year-on-year, maintaining a high-speed growth momentum. Among them, the sales volume of new energy vehicles reached 708,000, a year-on-year increase of 93.9%, and the market share reached 27.1%. 

Tesla’s ModelY sold 51,802 units in September, holding the top spot. The top 30 models have sold more than 5,000 vehicles per month. Among the new forces making cars, Ideal L9 sold 10,123 units. In the pure electric vehicle market with a price exceeding 400,000 yuan, the sales volume of Weilai ET7 in September was 2,928.

"ZhiJi monthly sales of one thousand, must be failed. Although it is said to be a high-end positioning of around 400,000, it will take thousands of units a month, which is similar. " Mr. Zhou, an insider of the car circle, said.

The sales volume is bleak. Besides the brand has just started and its popularity is not high, Zhiji’s investment in channel construction is not strong, which is also an influencing factor.

According to the statistics of Lujiu Business Review, Zhiji has about 40 experience centers and about 35 delivery centers in China. This kind of coverage network is somewhat inadequate.

Taking Beijing as an example, Lu Jiu’s business review learned that Zhiji has only four experience centers in Beijing. Among them, Beitou Shopping Garden Store has just opened on National Day. In contrast, LI has 18 stores in Beijing. Weilai Automobile has 21 stores in Beijing.

Not only that, in terms of distribution channels, Zhiji is also relying on SAIC. During the visit, Lu Jiu’s business review found that several Zhiji sales points in Beijing were made by traditional 4S Buick dealers.

For example, Wangfujing APM store, Zhiji automobile and Buick dealer Gadalai cooperate. Take the mode that Zhizhi pays to rent the storefront, and the dealer hires people to be responsible for the management.

This is somewhat similar to Huawei’s channel vendors, but slightly different. The M5 and M7 sample cars displayed in Huawei Experience Store are all purchased by the store owner himself. The sample cars in Zhiji’s store are directly provided by Zhiji, and dealers do not need to pay for them themselves.

Users book cars online, dealers take sales commissions, and deduct employees’ sales commission and marketing expenses, which is their own profits.

"Zhiji is like this, in order to reduce the pressure on dealers. If you pull the dealer alone, the cost will be invested. If the sales volume does not come up, it will be very troublesome later. " Mr. Zhou said.

When some car companies push new products, they will "apportion" the dealers, and at the same time, they will take some newly pushed models while entering those models that sell well. Mr. Zhou believes that Zhiji’s approach is somewhat similar to this method.

In addition, Zhiji is also conservative in brand investment. "SAIC is a state-owned enterprise, and its budget is very strict, so there are fewer advertisements." The sales staff of Zhongguancun exhibition shop told Lu Jiu’s business review.

If the sales volume does not come up, the turnover of sales staff will be great. "The basic salary of sales is 4,000 yuan. We can probably get 800-1000 yuan when we sell a car. Especially in the past few months, sales have not yet started. Some salespeople can’t sell cars, so they get a basic salary. The pressure in Beijing is great. He left without moving." The sales of Liu, who led the exhibition at Heshenghui, said.

In view of the current sales situation, what further measures does Zhiji have? Lu Jiu’s business review asked Zhiji’s official about this, but as of the time of publication, he didn’t get a reply.

02 35-400,000 range

The prince’s tough battle is not easy to fight.

As the "No.1 Project" of SAIC, Zhiji Automobile has high hopes. SAIC hopes that the Prince will fight hard and attack the independent luxury car market that the Group has not been able to win.

SAIC defines Zhiji as a high-end luxury brand. In the company’s 2021 annual financial report, there is such a description: through the listing of new products such as Zhiji, SAIC Audi and Cadillac, the product camp of luxury brands is further strengthened.

In terms of vehicle size, price and configuration, the target of Zhiji L7 is Weilai ET7. The models with two configurations of Zhiji L7 are priced at 368,800 and 408,800 respectively; The price of Weilai ET7 is about 450,000 to 530,000.

"Wisdom has more control and performance. We call this car the control involution king, which is a bit niche and biased towards those who like to play with cars. " A sales person surnamed Ren told Lu Jiu Business Review.

"We are cheaper than ET7. ET7 is mainly expensive in its service, because they have power exchange service. These are all costs, which will ultimately be reflected in the price of the car." He said that at present, Zhiji L7 has no power exchange service, so the price is cheaper than Weilai.

Compared with Zhiji, Weilai started early, has a strong brand influence, and relies on the unique positioning of "car as a service" to form a strong user stickiness.

In terms of sales volume, there is also a considerable gap between Zhiji L7 and Weilai ET7. Weilai ET7 sold 2,928 units in September and 4,349 units in June.

The prices of two products of Zhiji L7 have reached the price range of BBA. According to public information, only Weilai can occupy a place in the market segment of 350,000-400,000 yuan.

Hi-Tech Intelligent Automobile Research Institute believes that this road of Zhiji is very difficult. The top matching of Zhiji L7 with a price of 408,800 yuan is the model range of BBA, and the general effect will not be very good if the top matching is used to play the low matching of joint venture brands.

Tamia Liu, CEO of Zhiji Automobile, once said: "It is miserable and helpless for users who spend more than 400,000 plus tax close to 500,000 to buy BBA."

Today’s Zhiji car, the differentiated competition has not been shown, but the price and positioning have kept up. This kind of unsynchronization has the most intuitive appearance in sales volume. Although relying heavily on the brand and production and supply resources of SAIC, as an independent luxury brand, Zhiji lacks sufficient persuasion.

Can brothers still sit still when they are competing for the crown prince?

In the past, there were independent brands such as Weilai and many joint venture brands. Behind them, Zhiji Automobile also faced the resource competition of another brother, Feifan Automobile.

Feifan Automobile is an R brand wholly owned and operated by SAIC and its employees, and it is also a brand within SAIC. In contrast, Feifan car is more like a "prince" than Zhiji.

In the planning map of SAIC, it is Zhiji Automobile and Feifan Automobile that promote the development of independent brands. Moreover, Feifan Automobile, like Zhiji, is also a "major strategic innovation project" of SAIC.

Tamia Liu, co-CEO of Zhiji Automobile, has served as an important manager in various positions of SAIC, and has served as product manager, director of market operation department, director of product planning and deputy general manager of quality and economic operation department.

Wu Bing, CEO of Feifan Automobile, has 20 years working experience in SAIC. According to public information, Wu Bing has successively held important positions in several subsidiaries of SAIC-GM, Shanghai Automotive Group Insurance Sales Co., Ltd. and Xiangdao Travel.

Backed by SAIC and endorsed by SAIC is the basic strategy of Zhizhi. In Zhiji’s sales store, the words "Ali makes cars, SAIC quality" are particularly eye-catching.

In manufacturing, Zhiji also relies on SAIC platform. "SAIC has many resources, including the rear wheel steering technology of the car, the design of the chassis, chips and hardware equipment, all relying on SAIC’s supply chain." Ren surnamed sales of Zhongguancun exhibition shop said.

On September 22nd, SAIC announced that it will jointly invest with China Petrochemical, China Petroleum and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited to establish Shanghai Jieneng Zhidian New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., and will build charging piles at 50,000 gas stations nationwide.

Zhiji characterized this news as good for car owners, and all sales points made publicity signs: "Zhiji’s energy replenishment system will be expanded again, and relying on Jieneng Zhidian, a subsidiary of SAIC, we will fully promote the strong upgrade of the charging network."

Flying every car is the same strategy.

Wu Bing, CEO of Feifan Automobile, was also deliberately highlighting the resources of SAIC in an interview. It has always been emphasized that Feifan Automobile does not start from scratch, "but is carried out on the basis of SAIC’s huge resources".

On September 22nd, SAIC cooperated with PetroChina, Sinopec and Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, and Feifan Automobile also served as its own resource. Moreover, compared with Zhiji, Feifan and Jieneng Zhidian have a closer relationship.

"SAIC is in a difficult time now, and it is in urgent need of independent brands to do it as soon as possible. In the past, independent brands had a habit of having more brands, having more children and fighting, and the east was not bright and the west was bright. " Mr. Zhou said.

Although Wu Bing has been saying that Fei Fan and Zhi Ji do not constitute competition, in fact, the competition between them is inevitable.

The first is the competition for resources.

Feifan automobile is positioned at the high end, and Zhiji automobile is positioned at the high end. However, the price difference is not very big. The price difference between Feifan and Zhiji is about 50,000 yuan. As two independent new energy brands under SAIC, there is inevitably competition in the undertaking of SAIC brand resources.

In addition, the positioning of the two brands will overlap in the future.

The news learned by Lu Jiu’s business review is that Zhiji will launch a B-class car next year, which is the model that the company wants to take. This B-class car will have direct competition with Feifan.

"In fact, the L7 car is not a real car, it is a brand car. The real car is the B-class car released next year, and the company plans it like this. " "Just like Tesla, the earliest model started at 800,000, and then there were 300,000 models up and down," said Ren, a salesman at the Zhiji exhibition store.

Sales staff revealed that the B-class car released by Zhiji next year will be marked with ET5, Mmodel 3 and other models, which is Zhiji’s brand strategy.

Feifan R7 will be delivered at the end of October, and when the market runs away for some time, especially next year, Zhiji will launch a B-class car, when the two brands will directly fight.

If Feifan’s car sales are improving, SAIC will have to adjust its resource allocation in the case of tight resources.

To prove that he can be a "prince", Zhiji’s time is running out.

Dopamine in running is second only to love, and nothing can’t be solved in three kilometers.

The dopamine secreted by running is second only to falling in love. Three kilometers specializes in all kinds of unhappiness, five kilometers specializes in all kinds of internal injuries, and after ten kilometers, the heart is all open and kind.

Recently, I have been asked a lot about the precautions of running, how new people run, and how many suitable brothers to run. There are also many new friends who just started fitness running and punch in my comment area every day. I’m really glad to see your persistence every day. In order to make everyone have a better experience and progress in running, and to avoid injury and keep going, I’m going to share a primary teaching about running today, mainly from the following aspects: running is suitable for people, the benefits of running, the rumor that running hurts the knee, how to run scientifically and healthily, the amount of running, the running plan and the running purpose.

First, those people can’t run? Too fat is not suitable for running for a long time, and it should be controlled within half an hour. If the time is too long, the internal organs and knee joints will be under too much pressure, and it is easy to get hurt. If you have fever symptoms caused by various diseases, you should stop running. When you have fever, it is a process of high self-consumption. Running may increase the burden on your body, reduce your ability to recruit muscle strength and nerves, and you are easy to get hurt without much gain. People with other diseases and defects that are not suitable for strenuous exercise should try not to run.

Second, the benefits of running: medically speaking, 1. Running for more than 30 minutes every day can play a role in reducing weight and fat. 2. Improve cardiopulmonary function and increase vital capacity. 3, promote blood circulation, which is conducive to the discharge of metabolic wastes and toxins in the body. 4, improve the body’s immunity and enhance disease resistance. Enhance joint flexibility. 5. Strengthen muscles and bones to prevent osteoporosis. Enhance the coordination of the body and delay aging. From the external and internal aspects, insisting on running can improve your body posture, stand and sit, walk like a tiger, enhance your self-confidence, and keep running for a while, and you will find that your spirit is completely different. From the student party’s point of view, running for 20-30 minutes every day can improve your blood circulation, temporarily empty and relax your brain, relieve muscle stiffness and nerve fatigue caused by sedentary, be conducive to sleep and physical and mental recovery, and make the next day’s study twice the result with half the effort. To sum up, running is a simple and rude thing with the least investment and the most benefits. Now you pay a little sweat every day, and you will reap the accumulated benefits of snowballing in your future life.

Third, does running hurt your knee?

Many people say, never run, or never "run too much". Running hurts your knee and meniscus. Does running really hurt your knee? The answer is definitelyno. Running has taken too much blame for the knee injury. I just want to say that if you don’t want to run yourself, any reason can be an excuse for not wanting to run. Beginners run unscientific, and excessive exercise is actually the culprit of knee injury in running. ok, let’s redefine what is excessive. Does a person who can run a marathon run 10 kilometers at a medium-to-low speed and five-distribution speed every day? It is definitely not excessive. His physical foundation allows him to bear the moderate and low-intensity running of 10 kilometers a day. A person who has never run can’t hold on to one kilometer. Can he run two kilometers at a speed of five points a day? It must be excessive again, and the running posture is not standardized, and the probability of injury is almost 100%. Therefore, everyone is different, and the concept of excess is different. Another reason is that your knee is so weak that you hurt it after running a few steps? So fragile, shouldn’t you try harder to increase its strength and endurance? People in their sixties and seventies who need crutches when they can’t walk neatly must not be regular runners, but people who almost never exercise. Without running once, your muscles and ligaments will be strengthened to varying degrees, which is very simple. So as a runner, how to learn the standard running posture and improve the distance and pace?

Fourth, how to run healthily.

First of all, choose the time. In the morning, the vitality of the human body is relatively low, the oxygen content in the air is relatively low, and it is relatively more tiring to run. After a night’s consumption, the glycogen content in the body is also relatively small. Running in the morning is conducive to making fat more involved in energy supply and more conducive to reducing fat. Evening is the most energetic time for human body, and it is also the time with the highest oxygen content in the air in a day. Therefore, fun run’s words will have better sports performance. The specific time can be arranged reasonably according to your own time. Secondly, the choice of equipment, clothes should be loose and suitable, just a few days before driving, feet are easy to wear bubbles, so novices try to choose a pair of soft shoes and tie their shoelaces to make shoes and feet fit better. After running for a while, they can choose a hard and elastic sole, which is easier to accelerate and protect ankle joints.

In running posture, look straight ahead, and the line of sight is a little bit lower horizontally. Don’t lower your head or raise your head. Keep the big and small arms at an angle of 70-80℃. Make a fist naturally and swing back and forth. Don’t move forward beyond the center line of your body. Don’t bend your elbows too high. Avoid rubbing your arms with your body. Swing your arms reasonably can keep your torso stable, avoid shaking your body from side to side, hold your chest slightly, and spread your shoulders slightly. Don’t collapse your back. During running, the hip is taken as the axis, and the thigh is driven by the hip, and the thigh naturally drives the calf. When the foot lands, it experiences a rolling process. No matter whether the heel lands or the sole lands, the position of the center of gravity should be slightly ahead of the arch of the foot, that is, the center of gravity moves forward slightly, and bending the knee slightly at the moment of rolling landing and reasonable landing can increase the buffer and reduce the impact force, and protect the ankle joint and knee. Many friends say that after running, your mouth smells like rust, like drinking gasoline, burning trachea, dry throat, and you will get angry after running for a while, and your left and right abdomen will swell and hurt, all because of the wrong breathing method. The correct breathing method should be to avoid inhaling through your mouth. The role of the nasal cavity is to warm and moisten the air, so that the air passing through the nasal cavity will not be too dry and cold. When jogging, try to breathe only through your nose, three steps and one nose. Three steps and one call or two steps and one call depends on your own pace and cardiopulmonary function. Finally, try to breathe in the abdomen, that is, expand your abdomen when inhaling.When exhaling, the abdomen is closed, which is more conducive to expanding the chest and inhaling more air. This part is relatively dry, and needs to be tried and practiced repeatedly. Just knowing it doesn’t mean that you can learn it. Just like learning to swim and know more skills, you will never learn it without going into the water. Therefore, you should run, accumulate running time and amount, try your best to lean to the standard, and slowly your body will automatically choose the most efficient exercise mode, and finally form muscle memory.

Sixth, running amount and running plan.

People are good at long-distance running, which is engraved in genes and natural selection of nature. You can’t run, you’ve been starved to death for a long time, so don’t be afraid that running will hurt your health. When you know and try to master the most efficient, reasonable and standardized running posture, you can boldly run. Brothers who just started running can start from 3-5 kilometers at first, and their pace is not limited. They are required to try not to stop, keep running, pay special attention to controlling running posture, and try to maintain a stable body without swinging from side to side. Muscle ache is inevitable the next day after the first run. You can choose to take a day off, or you can choose to continue running the next day. After about one kilometer, the feeling of muscle ache disappears. From a relatively scientific point of view, it is relatively healthy to run three to five times a week. Due to muscle soreness, the sudden amount of exercise increases greatly, and lactic acid accumulation is the main cause of muscle soreness. Secondly, the muscles are relatively weak at first, and they will be forced to tear and break by sudden large-scale exercise. In the next 24-48 hours, the body will only need more muscle cells with greater strength and endurance to replace the weak damaged muscle cells. This is also a major principle of muscle building. Therefore, novice friends should pay attention not to be too large and intense in the early stage, and control it within the repair range of your body. If the repair speed is lower than the injury speed, it is excessive exercise. Excessive exercise will not only fail to achieve the goal of becoming stronger, but will become weaker and weaker. From the amount suitable for you, slowly accumulate running time and running amount, so that your body will be stronger and stronger after continuous damage repair.The first stage lasts for 7-14 days, which is also a relatively uncomfortable stage. Progress is painful. If you can persist, you will be greatly strengthened. At this time, you will find that the initial amount and intensity are very easy for you, because your body is already very good. When you feel relaxed, there is no pressure, that is, when you enter the bottleneck period and your progress becomes slower and slower. Therefore, it is time to increase the amount and intensity of exercise. By analogy, repeat this process of increasing intensity, adapting and increasing intensity, and you will become faster and faster and run farther and farther.

Seventh, whether you want to lose fat, be simply healthier or gain muscle and weight, running is a good choice for you. First of all, reduce fat. Running is the simplest, most convenient, rude and effective exercise. Running for more than half an hour can burn fat effectively and efficiently. Three major energy-supplying substances of human body, sugar, fat, protein. Glycogen is the priority and the main energy supply method. When glycogen supply is insufficient, the proportion of fat participating in the function will increase, and half an hour is about a node. The fat burning efficiency will be high between half an hour and an hour, and protein energy supply will begin to increase after one hour, so it is best to control the duration to less than one hour. (Specially, it doesn’t mean that fat and protein don’t participate in energy supply five minutes before exercise, but there will be less fat and even less protein. You have to say that ATP is the energy supply, and I’m not just with you, so there’s no need to be too professional. Just know what’s going on.) Fat reduction is nothing more than more consumption and less intake. If you want to lose fat healthily, more exercise consumption is the king under the condition of normal eating and ensuring nutrition. Is it not fragrant to consume excess fat and convert it into muscle? By the way, some people say that it is not accurate to lose muscles with a lot of aerobic exercise. A lot of aerobic exercise does consume a lot of energy, and even breaks down amino acids, the raw material you used to repair and strengthen muscles, but this will only happen if you don’t take enough food, such as brushing your fat quickly, eating little meals or even skipping meals. Of course, long-distance running is not recommended if you are overweight or severely obese.The pressure on knees and ankles is too great, and the risk of injury is very high. It is suggested that dieting should be combined with a small amount of exercise to lose weight first. Running without injury is the most important thing. For the sake of health, the weight is very healthy. Running is to enhance the cardiopulmonary function, make the body more coordinated and the muscles more durable. Then run, five kilometers, ten kilometers, spend the novice period, and gradually increase the distance and intensity. Under the condition of no injury and good rest, combine moderate and slow speed. Of course, it is also possible. It is recommended to run for 20-30 minutes. Running can effectively increase the regeneration and distribution of capillaries throughout your body, make you more appetizing and enhance your cardiopulmonary function. This is a necessary condition for you to gain muscle. The main reason for thin people is not that you consume too much, but that you have problems with digestion and absorption, low conversion rate and poor appetite. Running can improve your physical condition, digestive system and endocrine system in an all-round way, and a lot of consumption can stimulate your appetite, etc. A healthier physical and mental ability is conducive to your goal of gaining muscle and weight.

I accidentally said too much. The length of this copy is relatively long. I can see that the friends here must be iron powder. Thank you for your support. If you think what the master said is reasonable and it is helpful to you, you must arrange it for three times. There must be no less comment barrage forwarding, hehe. Of course, as a newcomer to the fitness area, up has only a superficial knowledge of theory, and there must be some mistakes or unprepared places in the video. Please also ask more professional brothers to comment and communicate, so that we can learn together and make progress together. If the data in this video is good, I will give you more sharing videos like this in the future. Thank you for your watching and support. I’ll see you next time.

Car sparring market chaos: having a driver’s license can be regarded as a lack of legal norms

Illustration Song Xi

  I got a new car, but I didn’t dare to rush on the road; I passed the driver’s license test, but I haven’t touched the car for many years … … In order not to be a "road killer", more and more novice drivers choose to go online to make an appointment with a car to familiarize themselves with driving skills quickly and enrich their practical experience. However, many people encounter the problem of sitting on the ground and starting at a price during the sparring process, and find that the guidance content is not professional, and the whole industry even has problems such as lack of standards and supervision.

  market quotations

  Fifty or sixty to more than one hundred per hour.

  With a driver’s license, you can take orders as a sparring partner.

  Seeing that the index of winning the lottery is about to expire, Xue Lin recently decided to formally join the car owners. "The reason why I didn’t buy it was actually because I didn’t dare to drive. I was afraid that it would be difficult to pick up the car and go home." Although it has been five years since I got my driver’s license, Xue Lin knows that she is still a novice with zero experience. "I was still in college when I took my driver’s license test, and I haven’t driven it since. I completely forgot how to drive the manual gear, even if it is an automatic gear. It really makes me nervous on the road. What’s more, those who learned in the driving school were all exam-oriented, and most of them relied on rote memorization and recording points. The actual road conditions were more complicated than that. "

  Open a classified information network and enter the keyword "sparring". Xue Lin quickly found a large number of related businesses. "There is a special sparring company, saying that it can provide a variety of sparring cars, charging by the model. The 10-hour class package is the most common, ranging from 50 to 60 yuan per hour on average, and it is also allowed to bring your own car. In the past, you can add money to install a secondary brake." According to the introduction on the webpage, Xue Lin found that the sparring contents of various companies are similar. "Generally, dozens of items will be listed, including basic rearview mirror adjustment and dashboard introduction, as well as various road driving characteristics such as overpass and roundabout, skills of meeting cars, merging lines and parking methods, etc., and some specially provide zero-based classes for timid women’s quick training, or develop humanized sparring courses for middle-aged and elderly people and those with driving psychological obstacles."

  Who will be the sparring partner? It is also a concern of Xue Lin. "Some are retired driving school coaches, and some are veterans, but most of them have no special qualifications or documents. At most, they have some sparring experience." In browsing and comparing, Xue Lin also found that sparring doesn’t seem to be a barrier to entry. "Some of them are purely personal, just send a mosaic driver’s license and say ‘ I have plenty of time, low fees and skillful driving skills ’ You can hang out the title of sparring and take orders independently. "

  Through consulting customer service, Xue Lin learned that different companies have great differences in terms of agreements. "Some will sign written agreements in advance to stipulate the charging standards and accident responsibilities, but the specific terms of the agreements have always been drawn up by the companies themselves, and some are only verbal promises. According to the actual situation, there is no basis for this."

  meet with

  Temporary fare increase for sparring partners

  If you don’t accept it, you will be fined.

  After weighing it again and again, Xue Lin booked a 10-hour LaVida automatic sparring project in 700 yuan. "According to the customer service, the sparring staff will come to pick it up, and the company will take insurance in the process. I just need to bring my driver’s license here."

  After getting on the bus according to the agreed time, the sparring partner asked Xue Lin to get familiar with the car condition briefly, and then motioned to drive away. "Just how far away, let me stop at the roadside. I thought it was for guidance, but I didn’t expect to actually take out a price list." Xue Lin took a closer look and saw that the price above was much more expensive than what I saw on the Internet before. "Like the one I chose, it directly became 1200 yuan." In the face of Xue Lin’s doubts, the sparring staff calmly explained, "That is the basic price online. No matter what you teach, just step on the brakes when necessary. If you want to learn skills, you have to follow the list now. " Xue Lin was so angry that he immediately called the customer service. "I called five or six times, but no one answered, which made me have no way to complain."

  In fact, Xue Lin’s experience is not a case. In the recent sparring, Wang Miao also experienced a half-way fare increase. "Before leaving, the other party was quite professional, reminding me to adjust my seat and mirror and explain what details I should pay attention to on the road." However, after half an hour, Wang Miao found that the attitude of the sparring partner began to change. "The other party complained that my level was too poor, and I needed to add 500 yuan and upgrade to a VIP class package.

  Afterwards, Wang Miao found a sparring company to reflect the situation. "The other party was not surprised at all. He directly told me that if I didn’t want to upgrade, I could choose a refund, but I needed to deduct 50% of the liquidated damages, which was equivalent to being taken away from 300 yuan once."

  The sparring partner took a general sentence.

  The secondary brake is connected by a steel wire.

  In contrast, Chen Min was glad that she was not caught in a price dispute, but the guidance of the sparring partner failed to satisfy her. "At the beginning, the customer service gave me a training outline, with more than 30 items of content, large and small. I felt that I should teach it very carefully, but I didn’t follow that at all." After hitting the road, Chen Min found that the sparring partner only took a word in general and lacked maneuverability. "For example, he only said that he would adjust the rearview mirror to his comfortable angle, but how can it be comfortable?" He can’t say clearly. When merging, he asked me to pay attention to the cars coming from behind, but when is the best time to cut over? I still don’t understand, and I feel that I am fooling around. " After returning home, Chen Min searched some teaching videos on the Internet, only to know that there was a lot of stress in it. "There is no free tutorial for sparring with money."

  What makes Chen Min even more uneasy is that although the car used for sparring has a secondary brake, it looks unreliable at all. "I have carefully observed that the so-called secondary brake is not fixed on the ground like a coach car in a driving school, but the brake in the main driver’s seat is tied with a steel wire, and a pedal is also placed in the co-pilot’s seat. Even if the two sides are connected by a steel wire, the pedal in the co-pilot’s seat is not really fixed on the floor." After searching for this simple version of the secondary brake on the Internet, Chen Min was even more worried. "It is said that this kind of secondary brake is still risky. If something is blocked under the secondary brake, the brake in the main driver’s seat will also be affected. That would be terrible. A device like this should still have a professional risk assessment. "

  view

  There is no legal provision for sparring.

  It is still difficult for drivers to be excused from accidents.

  "For motor vehicle driver training, the state has special management regulations, including what conditions coaches should have, what documents they hold, etc. Teaching vehicles should meet the requirements of relevant national technical standards, and they should be equipped with auxiliary rearview mirrors, auxiliary brake pedals, fire extinguishers and other safety protection devices. Once an accident occurs, the coaches will also bear the responsibility, but the situation of sparring is completely different." Zhang Jinpeng, director of the Traffic Management and Transportation Law Committee of the Beijing Lawyers Association, said that at present, the state has not issued relevant laws or management regulations for car sparring, so there is no unified standard for reference. "From the sparring personnel, how long is the driving experience or what training is qualified? For sparring vehicles, is it legal and feasible to install the auxiliary brake pedal privately? From the content of sparring, who is in charge of how to deal with emergencies? From the perspective of sparring institutions, does the actual business conform to the scope of industrial and commercial registration? All these questions need to be answered. For this reason, the whole sparring industry is in a state of chaos. "

  Under the chaos, how to deal with potential risks and disputes? Although many sparring companies claim to have full insurance, Fan Li, director of the Automobile Drivers Working Committee of China Road Transport Association, said that this does not mean that drivers can be exempted. "Unlike driving schools, although some people sit in the co-pilot position during sparring, even the auxiliary brake pedal will be installed, the driver already holds a driver’s license. Once a major accident occurs, causing personal injury, the driver must bear the responsibility. As for how to determine the responsibility of sparring personnel, it needs to be carried out by the public security department or the court according to the agreement between the two parties.

  "Even if you really need to find a sparring partner, it is best to choose a qualified formal institution." Zhang Jinxi said, "Some driving schools can consider providing this service. After all, coaches have certain guarantees in professionalism, and there are also coaches that have been professionally modified and meet relevant technical standards, which are more reliable in safety. However, in terms of price and flexibility, it is necessary to continuously optimize and improve through market competition. "

  In Fan Li’s view, the emergence of sparring chaos largely reflects the shortcomings of motor vehicle driver training and examination. "It stands to reason that if you have a driver’s license, you should have the ability to drive a motor vehicle on the road independently, and sparring does not need to exist in large numbers. But the reality is that many driving schools are opportunistic, which makes it difficult for students to learn the real skills, and the examination items are not scientific. Many people will get the certificate but can’t drive. This is the crux that needs to be resolved urgently. " (Reporter Zong Yuanyuan)

Yao Ming was speechless, and Qiao Shuai wanted to leave after reading it! China’s basketball farce, 7 violations without penalty, 88 fouls.

On September 18th, Beijing time, CBA teams were playing the Summer League recently, so a match between Shenzhen team and Xinjiang team can be said to be a real anger, with an unprecedented wonderful shot that is very rare and outrageous in the history of basketball in China.

There was a conflict between the two teams in this campaign, and there was a smell of gunpowder. They fought desperately for the championship prize of 120 thousand, and even some players stayed on the court after seven fouls. In the whole game, the commentary was tired, the players were tired, the referee was tired, and even the fans were tired. The bloody battle between the two sides lasted for nearly three and a half hours, with 88 fouls and 114 free throws. To be honest, this scene may not even be seen by fans for so many years. This is the case in the game of Xinjiang playing Shenzhen.

There must be some conflicts in this campaign, and both sides almost fought. In the fourth quarter, when Lutubula fell to the ground, he directly knocked down a piece with the opposite Li Muhao. After two people fell to the ground at the same time, Lutubula directly kicked Li Muhao on the ground, and Li Muhao got up and was about to fight. Both sides almost fought, but fortunately they were persuaded to leave.

Of course, in this game, the fight on the field is just an episode. What is the point? It is because the two teams played this ball more or less. A simple example is that the two sides actually fouled 88 times, Xinjiang fouled 46 times and Shenzhen fouled 42 times. Can there be fewer free throws in the case of so many fouls? There must be free throws. The Shenzhen team got 65 free throws, and the Xinjiang team also got a lot of free throws, up to 49, 65 free throws and 49 free throws. As a result, they were 32 out of 49 and 43 out of 65, respectively. Your free throw percentage is so poor (65.7%). Yao Ming really laughed and cried after reading it. Qiao Shuai didn’t want to bring a men’s basketball team after reading it.

This is a test of basic skills. The two teams fined 114 goals, but the hit rate was so low. That’s why basketball in China is not good. Can the younger generation do it without practicing basic skills? How can it be better? This is a wonderful scene. Whenever the two teams score a few more penalties, there is not so much overtime. Not only that, but there is also a low level, that is, the referee is really bragging.

There were 88 fouls committed by two teams, 46 in Xinjiang and 42 in Shenzhen, and even seven fouls were played in Liu Bowen. Because there were too many injured people, many people were sent off for six fouls, five people from two teams made six fouls, and then one made seven fouls. How did the referee brag?

More importantly, the game could have ended early. At the last moment of the first overtime, Sun Haoqin made a three-pointer at that time, and the referee had already blown a foul. He used to end a game with a penalty, and the score was even. As a result, after watching the replay, the referee canceled the foul and went on playing. What else can we say? The amateur referees are like this, which can explain why there are no China referees among the 44 referees in the Basketball World Cup.

There may be a lot of people in this game who feel very emotional and fierce. In the end, the champion Xinjiang team won 120,000 yuan, and the runner-up Shenzhen won 80,000 yuan, just for the difference of 40,000 yuan in the middle. But in fact, the most important thing is to let Yao Ming see how bad the players in China are, and the level of the referee in China is really not very high. Qiao Shuai probably wants to leave directly after reading it.

At the same time, the release of chatgpt greatly shocked the AI academic circles and industries in China, and made them catch up, completely transforming their research advantages into technological and product advantages. Fudan University released MOSS, and Baidu released Wenxin. Ali Dharma Institute won the first place in the GLUE Benchmark before, and this year began to exert its strength in the natural language pre-training model.

The internet and the people have also set off a wave of ChatGPT’s attention. I just didn’t expect that in terms of search index, China ranked first, while the United States ranked 28th.
