E100 evaluation of No.9 electric vehicle: In addition to high face value, there are more intimate intelligent functions.

For most people, convenient travel is not only an important guarantee for work, but also can improve the quality of daily life. Besides buses, subways and taxis, people are more and more inclined to choose electric cars in recent years. The labels of flexible parking, strong mobility, convenience and worry-free, energy-saving and environmental protection have become important reasons for people to choose it.

Not long ago, Segway-Ninebot released the No.9 electric E-series product, which not only tried to further improve the design and performance of electric vehicles, but also created a smarter and more convenient use experience, so that you can easily travel by bike without keys. WeChat official account GeekChoice also experienced this product for the first time, so I would like to share its special features with you today.

Although it is the first time to enter this field, the first impression of the No.9 electric E100 is very fashionable. Its smooth shape and lines bring a sense of modernity and technology, and the design of each part also follows a simple style, so it can take into account the aesthetics of different users.         

The design of the headlights is very distinctive. The No.9 electric E100 headlight adopts 6-bead matrix LED headlights, which not only brings good illumination brightness and light range, but also has intelligent light sensing technology, which can automatically turn on or off the headlights according to the ambient brightness.

The taillights also maintain a similar style to the headlights, and adopt an integrated embracing design, which can automatically return after the turn signal is turned on, which is very convenient.

The dashboard is usually the "face" of a car. No.9 electric E100 has designed a very worry-free interface, without all kinds of complicated data, only key information such as speed, power and time, and lights are added on both sides of the dial to remind you of the current state of the electric car intuitively and conspicuously through different colors such as red, orange and blue. When the electric car is unoccupied and the temple is confiscated (not unready), the light strip is orange. When people sit in the car and put away the temple (ready state), the color of the light strip is blue. When you slow down and brake during riding, the light belt will be green, which means that the energy recovery braking system is working.

By designing the battery compartment under the pedal, the No.9 electric E100 has created a golden weight ratio of 50: 50 between the front and rear bodies, which helps to improve the stability of daily riding. In addition, the self-developed motorcycle shock absorber can filter out the slight vibration caused by pebbles and improve the driving stability.

When it comes to stability, I have to say the braking performance of this car. No.9 electric E100 adopts large-size front and rear double disc brakes. The large brake discs with 220mm front wheel and 180mm rear wheel bring good braking performance, and it also has an energy recovery braking system (EABS). In all cases, such braking is safer.

Cushion and bucket are another surprising place. Through a lot of riding data reference, the cushion design of this car is very good, which is not only highly suitable, but also very comfortable in the overall experience. After opening it, you can also have a large bucket with a capacity of 22L. After the practical test of the geek’s choice, it is no problem to install a full helmet, and it is very convenient to carry things in daily travel. In addition, the hidden foot supports designed on both sides of the car also facilitate daily manned travel.

On the whole, the No.9 electric E100 electric car gives a good first impression in design and product details, and it is also full of fashion and dynamic. For those young people who want to pursue fashion personality, No.9 electric E series also provides special color customization service, just like Nike’s custom shoe color, which allows you to customize your own unique electric car, which is also a major feature in today’s market.

For users who choose electric cars to travel, a good electric car experience should be all-round. It is not only excellent in speed, endurance and braking performance, but also should be considered in more details such as convenience and safety when riding. In these respects, the No.9 electric E100 evaluated this time has left us a good impression.

Let’s take a look at the configuration parameters first. No.9 electric E100 belongs to the mid-to high-end version of No.9 electric E series. This car is equipped with a customized 18650 lithium battery with a battery capacity of 1440Wh and a cruising range of 60-100km. Through intelligent multi-battery parallel technology (battery expansion), its maximum cruising range can reach 200km. Its rated power is 1.8kw, the maximum power is 2.4kw, the maximum daily driving speed is 60km/h, the wheel torque is 150N?m, the front and rear hydraulic springs are used for shock absorption, the front and rear disc brakes are used for energy recovery braking system (EABS), and IPX5-level waterproof for the whole vehicle and IPX7-level waterproof for the battery, so it can be used for commuting to work and short trips in different weather. Therefore, it can be said that this machine has strong comprehensive functions.

Don’t close the temple, don’t release the P gear.

After practical experience, this car not only feels very comfortable in daily driving, but also has the functions of cruise control and automatic return turn signal. At the first attempt, we found that its sidebars are related to P gear, and the normal driving of P gear can only be released when putting away the sidebars and sitting on the car seat. This design avoids the "speeding" caused by misoperation and makes driving safer. Of course, if you need to get off the cart, you can use the power-assisted option on your mobile phone.

In addition to good design and power, what really makes the No.9 electric E series different is its intelligent experience. Through the sensors and matching algorithm in the car, the vehicle can realize the perception of the surrounding environment. The first thing we experienced after getting started was the new function officially called Ninebot RideyGo intelligent system. This system includes Ninebot AirLock inductive unlocking technology, intelligent faucet lock, vehicle data bus, ride induction, iBeacon and intelligent VCU technology, which can let you get on the bus and leave without inserting or pulling out the key.

Car keys are indispensable for many people to ride. Although the No.9 electric E100 comes standard with car keys, it is more recommended to use the Ninebot AirLock induction unlocking function, that is, the electric car can sense the user at any time through the induction between the vehicle and the mobile phone. When you approach as the owner, you don’t need to take out your keys, just press the green AUTO button on the right to unlock and start. This experience not only greatly facilitates the daily travel experience, but also saves picking up when it is cold.

Similarly, the No.9 electric E100 also has Ninebot RideyGo when locking the car! With the support of the intelligent system, when you park the car, you can quickly lock the car by pressing and holding the AUTO button to turn it off, and then turning the handlebar to the left. This operation also does not need to take out the key, even if you want to open the back seat to store or take things, you only need to press the AUTO button twice, which greatly facilitates the daily use experience.

Double-click the AUTO key to open the trunk.

The experience without keys is convenient for users, but some people may be curious. Is this safe enough? In the anti-theft part, the No.9 electric E100 not only adds AHRS attitude sensing system to realize the alarm and notification of changes, but also has triple positioning protection of GPS+ Beidou+base station. After practical testing, its positioning on the mobile phone is more accurate and it is easier to find a car.

Before the No.9 electric E-series, there was no electric car on the market that could really drive at any time without a key. This car made a bold attempt on the premise of ensuring safety, and it also brought a convenient experience that people could not go back after using it. In the opinion of geeks, intelligent electric cars should bring such changes, and the matching mobile phone App can also bring more practical and interesting new functions through the subsequent OTA upgrade, which changed the experience of electric cars and surprised people.

With the implementation of the "Technical Specification for Electric Bicycle Safety" (the new national standard), the reshuffle of the electric vehicle industry has accelerated this year, and the market structure that was mixed before has become more standardized. Strictly speaking, there are only two options for people to buy electric cars nowadays: one is two-wheeled electric bicycles with limited weight and speed, which can legally go on the road without a driver’s license (but they should be licensed according to local standards); The second is the motor vehicles with higher speed and weight, which enter the motorcycle catalogue (also need to be licensed according to local standards). These products can bring stronger performance, but at the same time they must have a motorcycle driver’s license to use on the road.

In view of these two situations, Robot No.9 launched two series of No.9 electric C and No.9 electric E at the new product launch conference held in December. No.9 electric C belongs to the former, and now the No.9 electric E100 we evaluated belongs to the latter. From this hands-on experience, we can feel that although it is the first time to enter this field, the No.9 electric E100 does make the operation easier through intelligent technology on the basis of good face value and strong performance. This innovation is rarely seen in traditional electric vehicle brands.

Whether it’s Ninebot AirLock inductive unlocking technology that can unlock without a key, intelligent faucet lock function, or anti-theft by adding AHRS attitude sensing function, the No.9 electric E100 has brought a convenient experience that people can’t go back after using it on the premise of ensuring safety. This kind of feeling is very similar to the feeling when we first tried to unlock the fingerprint and pay for the face on the mobile phone, which is novel but convenient. In the geek’s choice, this upgrade is a breakthrough in the past.

Of course, being able to detect such potential demand is inseparable from the rich experience accumulated by Robot No.9 in balancing cars, robots and other products over the past years. These new technologies can not only bring more vitality to the electric vehicle industry, but also greatly facilitate our travel experience. The No.9 electric E series with a starting price of 4,999 yuan is the new beginning of the No.9 robot, and may also bring new surprises to more people’s travel.

Detective Chinatown 3 feature film exposed Wang Baoqiang Haoran Liu to join the carnival.


1905 movie network news filmDetective Chinatown 3After 7 days of release, the box office has exceeded 3.8 billion.

How many people make a fortune by professional counterfeiting?

Original Arts Life Youth Hengcai Development Association

Some time ago, a cucumber shoot made the restaurant owners in Zhuzhou, Hunan scared.

Behind the scenes are a father and son. The two often go to different restaurants to order cucumbers, and there is no problem when they eat them. But a few days after eating, these restaurants will receive rectification notices and be asked for high compensation.

Seeing the news of compensation, restaurant owners suddenly realized, and at the same time complained: this is a professional counterfeiter.

Go back to the beginning of the event. It turned out that the father and son reported the restaurant selling cucumber to the market supervision department on the grounds of "no cold food license" and demanded compensation of ten times the consumption amount.

Such a high amount has made many bosses complain: "I don’t necessarily earn this money by selling cucumbers for one year!"

There is also a boss surnamed Liu who feels more wronged.

There was no cucumber on his menu, but when the father and son went to the store for consumption, they repeatedly asked to make one, and they also kindly instructed him to "smash the cucumber, just sprinkle some pepper and add some vinegar."

Boss Liu did it without much thought. As expected, after the story, he was reported, rectified and compensated. There should be no less processes.

As for why they don’t apply for cold food business qualification, restaurant owners are also very helpless.

First of all, the threshold for handling cold food permits is not low, and special cold food production rooms, independent air conditioners and disinfection equipment are needed. A set costs about tens of thousands of dollars, and small restaurants simply can’t afford it.

In addition, many people who open restaurants simply don’t know that selling cold dishes requires a license for the manufacture and sale of cold food.

Grasping the two points of Xiaochengben and the lack of legal popularization, the father and son have repeatedly succeeded and achieved outstanding results: since 2020, they have reported 49 times.

In fact, there are not a few businesses targeted by professional counterfeiters.

After Chongqing tea merchants sold Mr. Jin Junmei a 100,000-yuan collection, customers took him to court because "the tea has passed the shelf life" and demanded compensation of 1 million yuan from Mr. Jin.

An old man in Guizhou who sells homemade sauerkraut in 9.9 yuan was sued by professional counterfeiters for selling three no products.

Some online shop owners were charged a personal fee of 1500 yuan because "the information on the title sold is inconsistent with the information on the product details page".

The public’s views on these behaviors of professional counterfeiters are also inconsistent.

Some people say that they are like woodpeckers, which have rectified the market environment. After all, fewer fakes are good for ordinary people.

However, the louder voice is: what woodpecker? I just want to make money.

Some professional counterfeiters drive luxury cars, live in luxury houses and earn millions of dollars a year.

What’s more, most professional counterfeiters buy fakes knowing that they are fakes. When they just bought fakes, they didn’t say anything, but they bought many more copies with their backhand, and then they had to pay compensation together. In some people’s eyes, this is to make a big ticket. Moreover, it is not easy for small vendors to make money, so why stare at them and ask for money?

What is even more shocking is that professional counterfeiting has already formed an industrial chain.

The mentoring system is popular in the anti-counterfeiting circle, and newcomers can get the "cheats" for claiming compensation by spending 30 yuan. If you want to learn the whole set, you have to spend 499 yuan to learn from the teacher.

△ Professional Claims "Tutorial", Source: The Paper

According to the mature veteran, this line of business is very profitable:

"Playing a single order is 500+, and two or three orders a day are no problem."

Even, there are slang words in the circle that outsiders can’t understand. For example, "getting on the bus" means forming a group with others to make a bill; "Getting off the bus" is the success of the action; "Fare" means to give money as a benefit when you get on the bus with others.

Take anti-counterfeiting e-commerce as an example. A complete process is roughly like this:

First, "find a car" and look for products with limit words such as "best" and "first"; After the arrival of the goods, on the grounds of suspected false propaganda, find the seller to negotiate 3 times compensation; If the seller does not agree, go to the regulatory authorities to complain; If the seller still insists, he will sue to the court.

Considering the time cost, most businesses will compromise.

Sometimes, counterfeiters also share resources internally, resulting in some businesses being claimed one after another.

There are also some impatient counterfeiters who directly put expired goods on supermarket shelves and put themselves in prison.

It is also for these reasons that the public opinion of professional counterfeiters that "justice is false and profit is true" is always lingering.

In fact, when professional counterfeiters first appeared, word of mouth was not polarized like this, but was uniformly praised.

The first batch of professional counterfeiters can be traced back to the 1990s.

At that time, the land of China was undergoing the baptism of reform and opening up, and making money in the sea became the consensus of countless people.

Under the tide of pursuing material desires, the consumer goods market is very irregular, and counterfeiting is prevalent. In 1994, the government promulgated the Law on the Protection of Consumers’ Rights and Interests, proposing that consumers can buy fakes in double indemnity.

The following year, a young man named Wang Hai put this law into practice.

On March 25th, 1995, Wang Hai bought two pairs of "Sony" headphones at 170 yuan price in Beijing Longfu Mansion.

In order to identify the true and false, Wang Hai traveled to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Technical Supervision Bureau and Sony Corporation, and spent a total of three days back and forth.

Wang Hai thinks that the hotel, meals and transportation expenses in these three days have already cost more than 200 yuan, even if the price of two pairs of headphones is compensated for 170 yuan, it will not be worth the loss after all.

So he came to Longfu Building again, bought 10 pairs of fake Sony headphones in one breath, and then complained to Dongcheng District Administration for Industry and Commerce.

This unprecedented operation attracted great attention at that time. In the end, Wang Hai successfully got compensation for 12 pairs of headphones.

After this battle, Wang Hai became famous.

At the end of 1995, China Consumer Protection Foundation awarded him the title of "The First Counterfeiter in China" and awarded him 5,000 yuan.

Southern Weekend called him a "down-to-earth patriot", economist Wu Jinglian wrote an inscription for him as a "market sweeper", and Clinton called him a "protector of consumers in China".

In 1996, Wang Hai was invited to participate in the first program "Who will protect consumers" of CCTV’s "Tell the truth". In the same year, Wang Hai set up a company and became a "professional counterfeiter".

△ Wang Hai in "Tell the truth"

Until now, Wang Hai is still active in the cause of counterfeiting. In November, 2020, he threw out a verification report on the Weibo, pointing out that the bird’s nest sold by Simba was "sugar water", which made the super online celebrity worshipped by countless old irons suffer the biggest waterloo.

Compared with 30 years ago, there are more and more professional counterfeiters today. However, in the eyes of the people and the judiciary, they are no longer pure messengers of justice.

In 2017, the General Office of the Supreme People’s Court proposed in an opinion reply to gradually curb the profit-making anti-counterfeiting behavior of professional counterfeiters.

In 2021, Chen Zhiqiang, known as "the youngest professional counterfeiter in China", was put on file for investigation by the public security organs.

Chen Zhiqiang, from Xuwen, Guangdong Province, began to "debut" in counterfeiting at the age of 18, and sued more than 800 cases in less than a year.

In the end, after suing an ordinary "counterfeiting lawsuit", Xuwen Court held that Chen Zhiqiang "used the merchant’s panic to force the merchant to compromise, repeatedly demanded money from the merchant, and was suspected of extortion" and transferred the clue to the public security organ.

On July 12, 2023, the General Administration of Market Supervision made a simplified license for the manufacture and sale of simple foods such as cucumbers.

To put it simply, it is more and more difficult to make money by professional counterfeiting.

But then again, in fact, professional counterfeiters are theoretically tenable.

Most of the products they reported were illegal according to the law. In reason, there is nothing wrong with exercising your rights within the scope of the law.

However, in love, it is really irritating for some counterfeiters to pick small vendors.

But I think the more critical question is, can food safety related to people’s livelihood really be solved by professional counterfeiters alone?

In the first program of "Tell the truth", Professor Xiao Zhuoji of Peking University asked the following questions to a staff member of a consumer association, and I think it also asked many people’s voices:

People like Wang Hai and others are needed to protect consumers’ rights and interests.

25 models of Xingyue L will be pre-sold on the 25th of this month, and Geely Sales announced that the electric seats will be fully covered!

When it comes to new cars, everyone can’t help but ask, is it really better?The 2025 Xingyue L will be launched on October 23, 2024. The new car has been upgraded in both configuration and appearance, but whether this change is an evolution or a cold rice, I am afraid everyone has their own opinions.

Since its launch, it has attracted much attention, and with its atmospheric appearance and rich configuration, it has become a popular model in the market for a while.The early Xingyue L was equipped with a 2.0T + 8AT power system, which gave drivers a lot of surprises.Moreover, the interior design of Xingyue L has always been its highlight, from seat massage to headrest audio, it is full of sincerity.

The new 2025 Xingyue L will launch two models, a two-wheel drive version and a four-wheel drive version.Both models are equipped with a 2.0T + 8AT powertrain, continuing the usual style of Xingyue L. However, the new car has added a green paint, a new shape of straight waterfall grille and a silver brand logo to make the car look more stylish.

In terms of interior design, the new car has added a white interior, which is a stunning change, but it has also caused some controversy.The white interior is easy to get dirty and troublesome to clean, which gives many car owners a headache.The new model has cancelled the physical button at the bottom of the central control screen and replaced it with an electronic stop lever of the same style. The position of the wireless charging pad has also been moved to the front of the armrest box.These changes look more modern, but whether they are actually convenient to use remains to be seen.

Some car owners complained on the forum: "It is inconvenient to cancel the physical button operation, especially during the driving process, it is really frustrating to grope for the button." Another car owner said: "Although the electronic gear bar looks high-end, I still like the traditional gear bar, which is easier to use."

In terms of power, the maximum engine power of the new car is 160kW and 175kW, and the peak torque is 325N · m and 350N · m, respectively, matching the 7-speed wet dual-clutch or Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission.The combined fuel consumption for 100 kilometers is 7.59L and 8.59L.The data sounds great, but whether the true driving experience is as advertised still needs to be verified by the majority of car owners.

Some owners shared their driving experience: "The power of the new model is really good, and the starting acceleration is awesome, but there is a gap between the fuel consumption and the publicity, and the fuel consumption is higher in actual use." Another owner said: "The power system is very smooth, the gear shift is also very smooth, and it is very comfortable to drive."

The new Xingyue L comes standard with headrest audio, seat massage, two-row power seats, and CDC variable damping suspension.These configurations look luxurious, but whether they are actually practical remains to be seen.Headrest sound and seat massage are certainly highlights, but for most car owners, these features are more of an icing on the cake than a necessity.

Some owners said on social media: "The headrest sound effect is average, you can’t feel it when driving, and the seat massage is quite comfortable." Another owner complained: "These configurations look tall, but in fact they are not used much, and they are more often decorated."

Judging from the market’s reaction, the pre-sale of the 2025 Xingyue L is not bad, and many car owners have expressed their expectations for the new model. However, there are also many people who take a wait-and-see attitude. After all, it will take time to verify the actual performance of the new car.

Some industry insiders analyzed: "The new Xingyue L has been upgraded in both configuration and appearance, but these upgrades are more about optimization and improvement, and there is not much breakthrough." Some experts also said: "The market performance of the new Xingyue L still needs to be observed, after all, consumer needs and tastes are constantly changing."

From the current point of view, the launch of the 2025 Xingyue L will undoubtedly bring a new wind to the market, but it will take time to test whether it can become a new favorite of consumers. The competition in the automotive industry is increasingly fierce, and only through continuous innovation and improvement can we remain invincible in the market.

Perhaps in the future, Xingyue L will launch more upgraded versions to meet the diverse needs of consumers. After all, cars are not just a means of transportation, but also a symbol of quality of life. I hope Xingyue L can bring us more surprises and expectations in the future development.

Overall, the launch of the 2025 Xingyue L is undoubtedly a positive attempt, but whether this change is an evolution or a cold rice will require the test of time and the market.After all, only the real user experience can determine the success or failure of a car. I hope that when you choose to buy a car, you can choose rationally according to your own needs. After all, what suits you is the best.

Boldly predict! Lynk & Co 08 price or 200,000, top match does not exceed 280,000, listed in July

Lynk & Co., as the pride of domestic cars, holds Volvo technology backed by Geely Dashan. In the past few years, its performance in the automobile market was quite dazzling. At its most brilliant time, with the two popular models 03 and 01, it became the first selling brand among domestic high-end brands in our country. However, since entering the new energy era, Lynk & Co has been slow in the field of new energy, and it has obviously fallen behind. Take the sales data in May. The sales performance of Lynk & Co is difficult to say.

The first selling model in May was the Lynk & Co 06, a model based on Geely’s BMA platform. Strictly speaking, it did not have the essence of Lynk & Co, and only sold 5,309 units. The second place was the Lynk & Co 03, with sales of 4,963 units. The third was the Lynk & Co 01, which sold 1,213 units. The fourth was the Lynk & Co 09, which sold 981 units. The fifth was the Lynk & Co 05, which sold 477 units. The following models were basically new energy extension vehicles and the fuel version of the Lynk & Co 09. Sales were in the hundreds or even double digits, while the Lynk & Co 02 did not sell a single unit.

It can be seen that the Lynk & Co brand is already in a quite dangerous situation. After all, the number of Lynk & Co’s 4S stores in the country has reached about 270. If you look at this level, the average sales volume of a store is 53 units. For Lynk & Co, the average sales volume of 53 units is no longer enough for the 4S stores in some areas to survive. If you want to make a breakthrough, Lynk & Co must make efforts in the field of new energy, and this force point is the Lynk & Co 08, which has been preheated for half a year but has not yet been listed. The Lynk & Co 08 is positioned as a medium-sized SUV. It is the first new energy exclusive platform SUV of Lynk & Co, and it is the big killer of Lynk & Co

However, Lynk & Co 08 has not been listed since it was exposed at the beginning of this year, and has not even entered the pre-sale stage. The Harvard Xiaolong MAX, Tang DM-i Champion, Galaxy L7, Dark Blue S7 and other models exposed during the same period have basically been listed or entered the pre-sale stage. The delay in the launch of Lynk & Co 08 has seriously affected consumers’ enthusiasm for consumption, and will make its leading technology outdated.

In fact, the reason why Lynk & Co 08 is not listed is also very simple, that is, the car market is too much, even a hot-selling brand like BYD has to reduce the guide price to launch the championship version of the model, as a competitor of Lynk & Co 08, the starting price of the Tang DM-i championship version is only 209,800, so the pricing of Lynk & Co is not sure, and can only wait for the opponent to choose after the listing.

China brand sails overseas smartphone market.

  Recently, the latest report released by Canalys, an international market research organization, shows that in 2023, the global smartphone shipments were 1.14 billion units, and China’s Xiaomi, OPPO and Voice were among the top five brands. In terms of sub-regions, China’s mobile phone brands have a high market share in India, Southeast Asia and Africa. In Europe, China’s smartphone brands are also accelerating their layout. With the development and maturity of smart phone industry in China, more and more China brands have gone overseas and gained consumer recognition.

  Seek business growth in overseas markets

  "China mobile phone manufacturers are becoming more and more innovative." According to the website of the German newspaper Le Monde, at the recent Mobile World Congress, the glory Magic6 Pro mobile phone uses artificial intelligence technology, and some functions can be controlled by eyes. Previously, Glory launched Magic V2, a foldable smart phone, with a thickness of only 9.9 mm, which is equivalent to that of ordinary mobile phones, which is the first time in the field of foldable smart phones.

  In recent years, with the development and maturity of China’s smart phone industry, China has become the world’s largest producer and exporter of mobile phones with the help of the wave of the global mobile Internet era. According to the statistics of China General Administration of Customs, in 2023, China exported 13.92 trillion yuan of mechanical and electrical products, accounting for 58.6% of the total export value. In the first two months of 2024, China exported 2.22 trillion yuan of mechanical and electrical products, up 11.8% year-on-year, accounting for 59.1% of the total export value, including 123.745 million mobile phones.

  According to the statistics of many international market research institutions, by the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, global smartphone sales had been declining for several consecutive quarters, showing a recovery trend. The total smartphone shipments in China market also stopped falling and rebounded in the fourth quarter of 2023.

  "In the bustling shopping area of downtown Nairobi, billboards of China mobile phone brands such as TECNO, itel and Infinix can be seen everywhere, and blue, red and black and white storefront signs attract customers. These mobile phone brands are all produced by Voice. This Shenzhen-based company once sold mobile phones only in Africa, and then gradually expanded its business to other markets such as Latin America, India, Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia. " The South China Morning Post quoted Ali Sachu, a sub-Saharan geo-economic analyst, as saying: China mobile phone brands are "everywhere in the whole African continent".

  According to a report quoted by Sputnik, in 2023, China brand smartphones accounted for 79% of Russian imported smartphones, which was 4 percentage points higher than that in 2022 and 29 percentage points higher than that in 2021.

  Liu Yixuan, research manager of Canalys, analyzed that at present, overseas markets, especially emerging markets, are an important breakthrough for China smart phone brands to seek business growth, and different mobile phone brands also have their own development areas. Xiaomi has made full efforts in markets such as Middle East, Africa, Europe and Latin America. The overseas markets of OPPO and vivo are mainly in the Asia-Pacific region, and the overseas focus of glory is in Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. Seeking business growth in overseas markets is a strategic choice for many China mobile phone brands.

  From "Winning by Price" to "Excellent Quality and Price"

  Why do China smart phone brands sail in overseas markets? The technological innovation, industrial chain layout, product positioning and marketing strategy of China smart phone brand have attracted attention in the global mobile phone market. Alceni Thiam, an associate researcher at the European Institute for Outlook and Security, said that China’s products have been "winning by price" in the past to "excellent in quality and price" now, and they have advantages in research and development in smart phones, electric vehicles and other fields. China’s products are being favored by more and more countries.

  Bai Ming, a member of the Academic Degree Committee of the Ministry of Commerce, said in an interview with this reporter that at present, China’s smart phones have occupied an important position in the international market and have strong market competitiveness in Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa. The advantages of smart phones in China are as follows: First, the cost performance is high, and the functional design meets the local needs of overseas markets; Second, China has infrastructure cooperation with many countries in the field of communication, which facilitates the matching of smart phones and communication technologies; Third, China’s domestic smart phone industry is mature, with many sub-categories, complete industrial chain and high product update frequency. After full competition in the domestic market, the products have strong "hard power" when participating in overseas market competition.

  Taking HONOR as an example, Canalys and Counterpoint data show that in the fourth quarter of 2023, it returned to overseas markets for less than two years, and its sales volume in Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and other regions has ranked among the top five in the market, and a global sales service network covering more than 70 countries and regions has been established. Zhao Ming, CEO of Glory Terminal Co., Ltd., said in an interview with this reporter that Glory has maintained a rapid growth trend in the context of the global smartphone market decline, thanks to Glory’s insistence on high-quality development, targeting user needs, strengthening global industrial chain cooperation, and transforming technological innovation into products needed by the market. In addition, glory focuses on adapting to local conditions in different regional markets, providing product portfolios that match the needs of local users, and strengthening communication and cooperation with local partners to better enhance the user experience.

  Advance into the developed market with "hard power"

  According to the trend data of smartphone price segment share in China from 2019 to 2023 recently released by IDC, an international market research institute, the high-end market share of China brands above $600 has been growing continuously for five years, reaching 27.4% in 2023, an increase of 3.7 percentage points over 2022, and a full double of that in 2019.

  According to Canalys data, in the recent fourth quarter of 2023, Apple’s share in the European smartphone market reached 33%, surpassing Samsung for the first time in seven quarters. Among the mobile phone brands in China, Xiaomi’s market share in Europe dropped from 17% to 16%, and Glory’s market share increased from 1% to 3%. At present, entering the developed markets has become a strategic choice for some smart phone brands in China.

  "2023, as a year of vigorous development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, brings a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and also brings new opportunities and challenges to the global smart terminal market. The European mobile phone market is a representative mature market in the world, with a relatively high proportion of high-end users and large operators, and a high demand for innovative products and high-end brands. " Zhao Ming said that Glory regards Europe as the "second local market" and hopes to enter the European market with "hard power" such as innovative technology and high-end products. For example, glory has invested as much as 10 billion yuan in research and development in the AI field, obtained more than 2,000 AI-related patents, and used platform-level AI technology to promote the application of innovative technologies such as cross-device collaboration and next-generation intention recognition human-computer interaction in smart phones.

  According to a recent report on the German newspaper Le Monde, it was not easy to buy a non-Apple brand smartphone in Germany a few months ago because there were not many choices. Previously, due to patent disputes, many Android mobile phone brands disappeared from the shelves of European countries. At the beginning of this year, related companies shelved patent disputes. China mobile phone manufacturers, including OPPO, Yijia, vivo and Realme, may try new things in Germany soon. As these brands re-enter the German market, the mobile phone brands that can be selected in the future should be more diversified.

  "With the emergence of more and more application scenarios and requirements and the development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, the iterative update of China smartphones in terms of functions and technologies is worth looking forward to." Bai Ming believes that at present, China is still facing a bottleneck in the field of high-end smart phone chips, and it is urgent to continue to promote technological breakthroughs. In addition, in the markets of developed countries in Europe and America, China’s smartphones still face certain development bottlenecks and policy risks, and it is still necessary to speed up localization, strengthen cooperation with local industries, and build a diversified supply chain system.

Ten Customs of Lantern Festival "Network China Festival Lantern Festival"

As the saying goes, "Lantern Festival is held on the fifteenth day of the first month". As another major traditional folk festival after the Spring Festival, the main theme of the Lantern Festival holiday atmosphere is the word "noisy".

Lantern Festival viewing began in the period of Emperor Han Ming in the East. When Emperor Wen was in the Han Dynasty, the government ordered the 15th day of the first month to be officially designated as the Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival in the Han Dynasty lasted for one day, which became three days in the Tang Dynasty and five days in the Song Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, the lights were lit from the eighth day until the night of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, for ten days. In the Qing dynasty, the festival was shortened to four or five days.

During the Lantern Festival, festivals and customs all over the country are colorful and numerous. Here are 10 famous ones:


First, walk on stilts

Walking on stilts is a very old folk performance, which appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period. On the Lantern Festival, this kind of folk activity of walking on stilts is popular in many places. Stilts are usually made of wood. Make a support point in the planed wooden stick to put your feet, and then tie them to your legs with ropes. Performers can not only walk freely on stilts, but also do various difficult movements such as splitting forks, jumping on benches, dancing yangko, dancing knives and making guns.

Second, the lion dance

Lion dance is an excellent folk art in China. During the Lantern Festival or other assembly ceremonies, the folk will entertain by dancing lions. This custom originated in the Three Kingdoms period and was popular in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It has a history of more than 1000 years.

Third, the flower viewing lamp

The custom of viewing lanterns on the Lantern Festival originated from the period of Emperor Han Ming. During the Yongping period, Emperor Hanming strongly advocated Buddhism and ordered "burning lamps for Buddha" in palaces and temples on the fifteenth night of the first month. Later, the custom of putting lights on Lantern Festival spread to the people in the court. Every time during the Lantern Festival, no matter the gentry or civilians, every household will hang lanterns and the streets will be brightly lit.

Fourth, playing dragon lanterns

Playing dragon lanterns, also known as "dragon dancing", has a history of more than two thousand years. Playing with dragon lanterns originated from people’s worship of dragons. In ancient times, people prayed for the blessing of dragons by dancing dragons, in order to have good weather and abundant crops in the coming year. The custom of dragon dancing has also been carried forward by overseas Chinese. Whenever China people have traditional festivals or major celebrations, they will dance lions and play dragon lanterns, showing a strong oriental atmosphere.

Five, yangko dance

In the Lantern Festival, simple northerners like to celebrate by dancing yangko. The style of yangko varies from place to place, including northern Shaanxi yangko, northeastern yangko, Hebei yangko, Shandong yangko and so on. Among them, the Northeast Yangko has the widest spread and the highest artistic level.

Sixth, solve riddles on the lanterns

"solve riddles on the lanterns", also called "playing riddles", is an activity added after the Lantern Festival. Lantern Festival is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and solve riddles on the lanterns adds a lot of elegance to the festive day. Some people write riddles on paper, stick them on colorful lanterns for people to guess, and hang riddles with lights, so they are called "riddles".

Seven, rowing a dry boat

According to folklore, rowing a dry boat is to commemorate Dayu’s flood control. Rowing a dry boat is also called running a dry boat, which is to imitate the action of boating on land. The performers are usually girls, putting fake boats on their bodies and rowing, singing some local tunes and dancing while running. This is rowing a dry boat.

Eight, Ying Zigu

Zigu is a poor and kind girl in folklore. It is said that she is a concubine of a large family. Because the housewife was jealous, she was killed in the toilet on the fifteenth day of the first month. People sympathize with her and miss her, and in some places, the custom of "welcoming Zigu on the fifteenth day of the first month" appeared conveniently.

Nine, walking away from all diseases

In addition to celebrations, there are also some religious activities in the Lantern Festival, that is, "walking away from all diseases", also known as "dispersing all diseases", "baking all diseases" and "eliminating all diseases". The participants are mainly women, who walk together, or cross the bridge, or walk by the wall, or walk in the suburbs, with the aim of driving away diseases and disasters.

Ten, eat Yuanxiao

"Yuanxiao" is the name of northerners, while southerners call it "Tangyuan" and "Tangtuan". According to our traditional folk custom, every family eats glutinous rice balls on the 15th day of the first month every year. Because these names are similar to the pronunciation of "reunion", they go to the meaning of reunion, and hope that the whole family will be round and round, harmonious and happy on the night of the full moon in May.

Under the expectation of huge profits, thousands of people in Zhengzhou lined up in the ice to catch up with the sales of fireworks and firecrackers.

On January 19th in Zhengzhou, the weather was very cold, and the water on the ground became ice. However, there was a long queue outside an office hall at the intersection of Jianshe Road and Xuancheng Road in zhongmou county, Zhengzhou.

They are all people who want to sell fireworks and firecrackers during the Spring Festival this year.

Li Xiaojun, who is waiting in line, said that he also sold fireworks and firecrackers in the local area during the Spring Festival last year. He sold more than 300,000 yuan in total, and finally earned 100,000 yuan. This year, as soon as he heard that he started to "apply for a certificate" again, he rushed over again.

"There are few people today," Li Xiaojun told the First Financial Reporter, pointing to a team of more than 30 meters long. If you want to come yesterday, there will be more people, and thousands of square meters of open space outside the service hall have been filled.

According to the official information released by zhongmou county, there are two "accreditation" locations in zhongmou county this year, one is the office hall where Li Xiaojun is located, and the other is near Tongcheng Avenue and Moxiang Street. Among them, a video of "Thousands of people queuing for fireworks and firecrackers licenses in Zhengzhou" spread on the Internet on January 18th was shot near Moxiang Street.

However, Lu Yan, a staff member of zhongmou county Emergency Management Bureau who is maintaining order at the scene, told CBN that the "accreditation" circulating everywhere on the Internet is actually a misunderstanding of the current policy in zhongmou county.

Lu Yan said that if you want to engage in the sales of fireworks and firecrackers, it is of course essential to apply for a fireworks and firecrackers business license, but what the local authorities are doing now is to conduct safety training for the potential fireworks sellers who have signed up first, and have not yet reached the step of "issuing a permit".

The local propaganda department also explained to the outside world that zhongmou county has not yet received the exact news about "banning and changing the restrictions" or "lifting the ban" in Zhengzhou.

This means that it is still unknown whether Zhongmou will finally allow fireworks and firecrackers to be set off this year. However, even so, the sales of fireworks and firecrackers were booming during the Spring Festival last year and the resulting huge profits in the industry. Many applicants flocked with the expectation of lifting the ban on fireworks and firecrackers this year.

The reporter noticed that among the people queuing at the scene, besides the fireworks distributor such as Li Xiaojun, who started to enter the business last year, there are also some new entrants.

A young man with a tender face told CBN that he was a freshman and was on winter vacation. He heard that selling fireworks could make a lot of money, so he signed up.

Standing behind this young man is a middle-aged man who is engaged in whole house customization. He said that he didn’t make any money this year and wanted to sell fireworks and firecrackers during the Spring Festival to earn some lucky money for his children.

Among this middle-aged population, a wealth story that he relishes is that one of his relatives sold fireworks and firecrackers in Zhengzhou last year. In many cases, his daily turnover was more than 200,000 yuan, which eventually became the biggest motivation for him to try to transform into a fireworks distributor this year.

However, some people are not optimistic about this year’s sales prospects. Li Xiaojun said that fireworks and firecrackers made more money last year, but there were fewer products and more demand. This year, with so many people signing up at once, the competition at the terminal will be fierce, and it is hard to say whether they can make money in the end.

But no matter whether you make money or not, the expenses you should pay and the process you should take are indispensable. Take Li Xiaojun as an example. The first fee he has to pay is the training fee 600 yuan.

According to the regulations of zhongmou county, a sales outlet must be equipped with at least two employees, namely, the sales director and the safety management personnel. The two employees must go through the unified training of a third-party company entrusted by the local government and pass the examination before they can qualify for sales. After the training is finished and the certificate of qualification is obtained, you have to find the booth quickly. After that, you have to check the safety and fire-fighting equipment of the booth by the street office and fire-fighting unit where the booth is located before you can get the business license and get the final sales qualification.

Moreover, even with the sales qualification, goods (fireworks and firecrackers) can’t be sold casually, and they must be purchased from designated fireworks and firecrackers wholesale enterprises. Moreover, goods are not allowed to be stored in warehouses and can only be sold on booths.

Interlocking, it seems to form a safe closed loop.

However, in the view of Zhou Jian, president of Henan Institute of Reform and Development, these security measures need to guard against another hidden danger, that is, will the market form a new gray industrial chain after the deep intervention of power?

"The so-called practice of issuing business licenses now is, in essence, actually franchising the market economy through power intervention." Zhou Jian said that the current measures to strengthen control over the sales of fireworks and firecrackers are of course conducive to safety, but the risk point of the whole fireworks and firecrackers should include not only the sales end, but also the consumer terminals with frequent safety accidents.

Zhou Jian said that in recent years, a background of fireworks ban is that many places have gradually implemented "global ban on burning" and "full-time ban on fireworks" because of the pressure of environmental assessment. Now, after the ban has been implemented for so many years, when the external environmental protection situation is still grim, it will suddenly "lift the ban" on fireworks, which will make some people confused about the introduction of policies, and it needs to be given a reasonable explanation.

The reporter noted that in the "Notice on the Setting of Fireworks and Firecrackers Sales Points in zhongmou county during the Spring Festival of 2023" issued by the local authorities in early 2023, the reason for "lifting the ban" was "to respond to the concerns of the masses, meet the spiritual needs of citizens and friends for the’ taste of the year’, create a happy and peaceful holiday atmosphere, and ensure the safety of the masses."

On the evening of January 19th, Zhengzhou issued the "Notice on Printing and Distributing the Implementation Plan of Fireworks and Firecrackers during the Spring Festival of 2024 in Zhengzhou" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"), and determined that the sales time of fireworks and firecrackers during the Spring Festival this year was from 7: 00 to 23: 00 every day from January 31st (the 21st day of the twelfth lunar month) to February 24th (the 15th day of the first lunar month), and the discharge time was limited to 7: 00 to 23: 00 on February 2nd (the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month). From 7: 00 on February 9 (New Year’s Eve) to 1: 00 on February 10 (the first day of the first month); 7: 00 to 23: 00 every day from February 10th (the first day of the first month) to February 14th (the fifth day of the first month); February 24th (15th day of the first month) from 7: 00 to 23: 00.

It is mentioned that the goal of the notice issued by Zhengzhou City is to effectively reduce environmental pollution and ensure that fireworks accidents do not occur by guiding the general public to consciously abide by the regulations on fireworks and firecrackers.

"This notice shall come into force as of the date of promulgation. The "Regulations on the Prohibition of Fireworks and Firecrackers in Zhengzhou City" (Order No.217 of the Municipal Government) was suspended at the same time, and it will be resumed immediately after the discharge time stipulated in this notice. " Zhengzhou City said in another Notice on Strengthening the Safety Management of Fireworks and Firecrackers during the Spring Festival in 2024.

For a fireworks distributor like Li Xiaojun, the long-hanging heart can finally be put down. Next, he will make full efforts to raise funds to prepare for the next peak season of fireworks sales.
