Zhang Xinghai still remembers the scene when he first met Yu Chengdong.

At that meeting, the two exchanged in-depth views on new energy vehicles. Due to the same direction, the cooperation intention of Huawei and Cyrus was finalized after several hours of talks.

Later in public, Mr. Yu said: "What impresses me deeply about him [Zhang Xinghai] is his keen sense of smell and determination."

It was with this exceptional business sense that in the 1980s, Zhang Xinghai made a fortune in Baxian County, under the jurisdiction of Chongqing, by relying on a spring, and went south along the Jialing River and the Yangtze River to do business in Shanghai.

Then, with the pioneering energy of the people of Sichuan and Chongqing, he rushed into the automobile industry regardless of the outside world’s prejudice against traditional manufacturing. After more than 30 years of success in business, he chose the new energy automobile industry three times.

Today, Cyrus cars have been racing forward for 38 years. On February 5, the Cyrus Auto Super Factory was completed and put into operation and the first delivery event of the M9 was held in Chongqing. In this super factory under the "brain of the automobile industry", thousands of new cars are ready to go, and the scene is spectacular.

The Cyrus car represented by Zhang Xinghai has also undergone several important turns in the changing times, and has gradually become what it is now – leaving its own position in China’s new car movement and representing the progress of China’s industrial upgrading.

The following is the true story about Cyrus cars:

Zhang Xinghai’s story begins with a spring.

In the 1980s, Chongqing’s industry developed rapidly, but everyone was held back by a small spring.

Spring is an important component in industrial manufacturing. But in China at that time, spring manufacturing was monopolized by foreign companies, and the price of an imported spring exceeded $1.

Zhang Xinghai, a 23-year-old young man born in Baxian County, Chongqing, smelled of business opportunities. In 1986, Zhang Xinghai and several brothers invested only 8,000 yuan to establish a Phoenix Spring Factory in his hometown, Fenghuang Town, Baxian County, Chongqing, engaged in spring processing of household appliances.

The people around him were not optimistic about Zhang Xinghai’s career, and they all advised him not to waste his efforts. Everyone thought that "China cannot produce a square silk spring with the same performance as foreign countries". But Zhang Xinghai was not convinced and decided to make a high-level spring in Chongqing.

Hard work pays off, and it didn’t take long for Zhang Xinghai to produce a domestic spring with the same performance as an imported spring, but the price was only 1 yuan. After the cost was knocked down, high-quality and cheap domestic springs soon went into marketing activities in Chongqing, replacing local imported springs.

In order to make his own spring have a wider range of application scenarios, Zhang Xinghai took a green train for more than 20 hours to a factory in Jilin for door-to-door promotion and sales.

When the other party saw the spring brought by Zhang Xinghai, his eyes glowed and he shouted, "This is the spring we want." Before he could rub his swollen legs, Zhang Xinghai took the order.

Fenghuang Town has also become the place where Zhang Xinghai made his fortune. The Phoenix Spring Factory has changed from a small tile factory to a large local enterprise with multiple factories.

In the 1990s, Zhang Xinghai became a veritable Chinese "spring king", and he took a spring as an opportunity to enter the field of auto parts. Zhang Xinghai’s shock absorbers have been recognized by a number of manufacturers, including Changan Automobile and Jialing Motorcycle. The products are exported overseas, and a business office has also been established in Vietnam.

The industry of Phoenix Spring Factory is growing, and there are more and more customers for shock absorbers, gradually becoming a leader in China’s segmentation field.

In 2002, Yu’an Group was born.

"Yu" is the abbreviation of Chongqing, which has been divided into independent municipalities. Since Chongqing became a municipality in 1997, its industry has occupied a pivotal position in China. Named after the words "Yu" and "An", it not only means that the company has moved from a township enterprise to a bigger stage, but also means more business exploration in the future.

To some extent, from Baxian township enterprise to Chongqing representative group, it is not only the story of a young man seizing the opportunity of the times, but also the fundamental reason why Sailis was able to "do a line, specialize in a line, become a line", "do a car, specialize in a car, become a popular car".

Yu’an Group soon began a battle for "time".

In the year of the millennium, it is not easy to take the helm of a private enterprise that is not well-off. Chongqing, as an important industrial town in the southwest, is also a famous automobile city. Many companies are entering the vehicle business, and companies that take the train of the times are developing rapidly. Otherwise, if you hesitate, you will quickly fall behind.

Boat against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat.

At this time, although Yu’an had entered the field of auto parts supply, under a single business model, the company’s bottleneck was very obvious. "Only making parts, that is relying on others", and entering the whole vehicle became an inevitable choice.

This decision caused an uproar within the company. In the eyes of those who disagreed, automobiles are heavy industry, and if they press the wrong direction, they may fall short. As the absolute leader, Zhang Xinghai has long been dissatisfied with the business of a spring, and finally he still defied public opinion and entered the whole vehicle.

At first, the company chose to enter the motorcycle business. At this time, Chongqing, as the largest motorcycle producer in the country, owns Jialing, Lifan, Zongshen, Wangjiang, Wangjiang Suzuki and other brands. The market saturation competition is fierce, and it is difficult for "novice" Yu’an Group to obtain the market.

Just at this time, Changan Automobile opened up the market with the help of miniature cars, and Dongfeng Automobile began to look for joint ventures across the country to enter related industries. Zhang Xinghai, who sensed the opportunity, immediately decided to cooperate with Dongfeng Automobile, and thus transferred to the automobile track. During this period, Yu’an Group was changed into a more recognizable "well-off stock", echoing the "All People Run for Well-off" in the context of the times.

It was also an opportunity for mutual achievement – Dongfeng Motor, as the economic pillar of Hubei, could not leave Hubei, so it could not join forces with other companies that also shoulder the responsibility of staying in the local area.

In order to promote this cooperation, Xiaokang shares offered enough sincerity and agreed to locate the first phase of the factory in Shiyan, Hubei.

Zhang Xinghai saw it very thoroughly. "The automobile industry has a large investment and a long industrial chain. It cannot be advanced by saying that it can enter. It must have advantages in products, brands, talents and technology. Our joint venture and cooperation with Dongfeng is the integration of the advantages of all parties."

Due to the small reputation of the well-off, even after cooperating with Dongfeng, many people questioned its strength. But Zhang Xinghai did not respond at that time, and it was not until several years later that he publicly stated the situation at that time, "[At that time] I was not optimistic about me, and the more I wanted to do well."

Time gives the answer. In the next 20 years, Dongfeng Xiaokang’s branding impression even far exceeded Dongfeng Fengshen’s own brand.

Figure | On May 13, 2012, Dongfeng Xiaokang 1 million vehicles rolled off the assembly line

With policies such as "cars to the countryside", Dongfeng Xiaokang has firmly captured the market share of mini-cars. In 2009, it ranked among the top three in China’s mini-car industry, with a market share of more than 10% that year.

Dongfeng Xiaokang has become a representative of an era, and its classic bread models have also helped many Chinese small and micro enterprises achieve wealth. Xiaokang shares also listed on class A shares in 2016.

In previous reports, Zhang Xinghai is low-key and simple-looking, and has been called a "sweeping monk".

His actions also reveal that "doing business is not about making more money, but long-term", which is also a portrayal of his entrepreneurship.

In 2016, China regarded the new energy automobile industry as an important pillar industry in the 13th Five-Year Plan. Although the sales of new energy vehicles in that year were 507,000, which was less than a fraction of traditional fuel vehicles, and required huge upfront investment, the market recognition of new energy was not high.

Zhang Xinghai, who saw the future trend, decided to enter the field of new energy vehicles against all odds, and established a new brand "Sailis" to conquer the technology research and development of new energy vehicles.

In order to learn about new energy vehicles, 53-year-old Zhang Xinghai became the first Tesla owner in Chongqing, and also established a research and development institution in the United States to become an innovation pioneer. At one point, he mortgaged 70% of his shares.

These "measures" caused criticism from the industry, and even the company’s share price fell in response. Everyone was really not optimistic about Zhang Xinghai’s decision – at that time, the company did not even have the basic "three electricity" (battery, motor, electronic control) foundation, and there were more than 100 companies competing in the market, and most of the entrepreneurs were young generation.

In comparison, the Cyrus has few "bright spots".

But Zhang Xinghai insisted on his choice. "We are technically poor and afraid, so we must break through the technology blockade." As a witness to China’s economic take-off and the automotive industry, he is all too aware of the humiliating history of domestic traditional manufacturers being suppressed due to technical barriers. Since breaking through the "spring monopoly", he has regarded technology as the core of breaking through.

The layman looks at the facade, the expert looks at the back door.

In January 2019, Xiaokang and Huawei held a comprehensive cooperation signing ceremony. The two sides will further promote cooperation in the field of new energy vehicles and carry out comprehensive cooperation in the fields of industrial Internet, ICT infrastructure, new energy vehicle intelligence, and networking. Subsequently, the two sides jointly launched the AITO series of products, setting a series of industry records.

In 2022, Xiaokang officially renamed itself Cyrus, announcing its full entry into the new energy sector.

If the original cooperation with Dongfeng was for Xiaokang to obtain technical support from the other party, then this cooperation with Huawei shows the profound technical capabilities accumulated in the automotive industry for more than 20 years: such as industry-leading range extension technology, self-developed software and hardware platform technology, and advanced technologies in various fields such as chassis tuning, test platform, and quality control.

In the Sailis Automotive Smart Factory, there are more than 300 intelligent machines in the welding workshop alone to achieve 100% automation of key processes, and some production lines also use laser remote fly welding, which can quickly complete fine welding without contact.

All this was in exchange for Zhang Xinghai’s "smashing pots and selling iron". Even Yu Chengdong admits that Cyrus is "a rare car company that understands the market".

In 2023, Zhang Xinghai and his team traveled to Sichuan and Tibet, covering 2,200 kilometers in 41 hours

In order to pursue the ultimate product experience, in 2023, Zhang Xinghai decided to form a team with his friends as a user and go on a "trip to Sichuan and Tibet" of the Cyrus AITO series and other high-end brand fuel vehicles PK, which finally lasted 41 hours and crossed 2,200 kilometers, all the way to Lhasa.

Through extreme tenacity, Cyrus handed over a satisfactory answer.

Data show that the new AITO M7 jointly developed by Sailis Automobile and Huawei has been continuously breaking records since its launch in September last year, and the cumulative order has exceeded 140,000 units, becoming an industry phenomenon.

In 2023, the highest increase in the share price of Sailis reached 144.81%, ranking among the 100 billion market value, ranking third in the market value of China’s new energy vehicle companies. In addition, since the listing of AITO Q M9 in December 2023, the cumulative value of Dasheng has exceeded 40,000 units.

While Cyrus has achieved success, Zhang Xinghai’s vision is also changing.

"The traditional car manufacturing industry has been monopolized by foreign countries for too long, and the opportunity of new energy vehicles must be seized." At the 2023 two sessions, Zhang Xinghai focused on the transformation and upgrading of China’s automobile industry and high-quality development and gave relevant proposals. He hopes that in the field of new energy vehicles, China can achieve curve overtaking and more excellent enterprises can appear.

Throughout the 38-year entrepreneurial journey, from Phoenix Spring Factory to today’s Sailis Automobile, Zhang Xinghai’s entrepreneurial journey has run through the era of Chinese enterprise development.

Due to its complete experience of this era, Cyrus has become the best example for interpreting an era.

As an important figure in the new forces of car manufacturing, Zhang Xinghai’s introduction cannot be limited to the single dimension of the founder of the car company. As a witness to the 38-year cycle and the changes of Chinese car companies, Zhang Xinghai’s direction has not changed since the 1980s when he broke through the "spring monopoly".

On February 5th, the Sailis Automotive Super Factory held a completion and commissioning event in Chongqing and delivered the first batch of M9 owners.

In Zhang Xinghai’s words, "Cyrus Auto Super Factory is not only the benchmark of Cyrus and Chongqing, but also the benchmark factory in the world!" It is worth mentioning that in the top ten list of luxury brands in the Chinese market in January this year, Cyrus ranked among the top five, second only to traditional luxury car brands BBA and Tesla.

All of this is due to Zhang Xinghai’s initial persistence and Sailis’s adherence to the tenet of "user-centered, wholeheartedly serving users". The AITO Qinjie M9 is now not only the high-end of Sailis, the high-end of Chongqing, but also the high-end model of the world.

It can be predicted that for Zhang Xinghai, Cyrus will not be his end. The industry is developing vigorously, and he will always move forward.

Focus on the 2024 auto show-booth. At this year’s auto show, apart from the new car 007 and the high-definition version of the extreme krypton 009 market, the extreme krypton also brought its fifth production model, the extreme krypton MIX.

At the star-studded 2024 Beijing Auto Show, the world premiere of the krypton MIX not only attracted many media and insiders to watch and experience it, but also Zhou Hongyi, the "uncle in red" who recently made a big splash, and Li Xiang, the founder, all came to the krypton booth to deeply experience this new car. What kind of strength does the extreme krypton MIX from the vast -M architecture rely on to catch the wealth of the sky?

Even if you don’t feel anything about the extreme krypton cars and new energy vehicles, when you happened to pass by the extreme krypton booth at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show and saw this extreme krypton MIX, I think it’s hard not to be "entangled" by its high turn-back rate.

The official positioning of the extreme krypton MIX is "cross-border SUV". Under the outline of the minimalist design language of Hidden Energy, the extreme krypton MIX takes the form of "big bread" as the keynote, and after integrating the STARGATE integrated smart light curtain and canceling the traditional door opening method, the whole appearance is really full of scientific and technological sense.

By the way, the extreme krypton MIX also cancels the traditional B-pillar design and door handle of the car body, and adopts a split sliding door design, and the switch mode is a push-button electric switch. Especially when the car door is open, the turn-back rate of the extreme krypton MIX will inevitably not be low.

Moreover, the unique body design of the extreme krypton MIX also makes it have many advantages when catering to family travel scenes. For example, a larger door opening and closing angle and a lower boarding threshold will have more advantages for the convenience of getting on and off for the elderly, children, pregnant women and other groups when they are used for family trips.

In addition, with the body size of 4688/1995/1755mm, the extreme krypton MIX has achieved a wheelbase of 3008mm, which is not only the longest in its class, but also the cockpit utilization rate of the extreme krypton MIX exceeds 80%.

It is worth mentioning that in terms of the safety concerned by the consumer groups of family cars, Extreme Krypton has never lost points. Even if Extreme Krypton MIX cancels the traditional B-pillar of the car body, the safety optimization such as triangular double A-pillar, multi-layer steel-aluminum sill beam and ultra-high-strength seamless steel column double B-pillar also makes Extreme Krypton MIX meet the global five-star collision requirements.

From the interior visual point of view, the MIX center console maintains the same design language as the family members. In the back row, the new car provides a unique "ever-changing space" for the family. In terms of seats, the low version of MIX is a five-seat layout, and the high version is a four-seat layout. In addition to a fully flat floor, the car also provides a main and passenger seat that can rotate 270 degrees without pole.

Judging from the official map of MIX, in addition to the back row with leg rests and handrails, the central guide platform of the new car also has many extension properties, such as rotating the front seat of MIX and extending the guide platform out of the small table board when enjoying a parent-child outing, which can change the outdoor dining table of the whole family in seconds.

In terms of other configurations, in the extreme version of MIX, we will see the high-level intelligent driving with laser radar, including the rear leg rest exposed by the official map, which will also be exclusive. In terms of power, at present, MIX has applied for a rear-drive single motor version, with a total motor power of 310kW. The detailed accelerated performance and pure electric cruising range have not been officially announced.

However, it can be expected that even if it is a single-motor version of the krypton MIX, its acceleration performance will not be bad, and its driving and control performance will be flexible enough. After all, the vast -M platform has also brought a front wheel steering angle of over 50 degrees to the extreme krypton MIX, and the minimum turning radius will be less than 5 meters. For many novices or treasure moms who pursue flexible driving and convenient parking, the extreme krypton MIX will undoubtedly be more friendly in the same class.

Generally speaking, the brand-new model, the Extreme MIX, was unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show, mainly to "show muscles" and pave the way for the launch of new cars. With the electric drive platform+cross-border SUV attribute, the MIX has considerable space and high playability, which is almost unmatched in its segmentation field. Next, the key to determining whether this "smart home baby bus" can sell well may be pricing and pure electric cruising range.

[Mobile China News] Friends who use Xiaomi, Redmi mobile phones, or Xiao Ai speakers will definitely be familiar with Xiao Ai. As an artificial intelligence voice assistant, Xiao Ai has natural and smooth voice interaction capabilities, can control home devices through voice commands, and has various functions such as providing information inquiry and schedule management. According to Mobile China, Xiao Ai officially released Weibo on March 20 to celebrate the "6th anniversary of Xiao Ai" as scheduled.

Xiao Ai’s development process has received extensive attention and recognition. It has won many international awards, such as in the 2022 German iF Design Award, Xiao Ai won the iF Design Award user experience (UX) award with its all-round customization ability (Xiao Ai customization).

In August 2021, Xiaomi’s 2021 Q2 financial report was released, and Xiao Ai’s MAU users broke through 100 million. In the future, I believe Xiao Ai will continue to improve and develop.

The biggest dark horse in the 618 air conditioner market this year should be Xiaomi air conditioner, especially its star model giant power saving series, which sold out directly, sold 100,000 + units in a week, and topped the chart JD.com 1.5-horse first-class energy efficiency air conditioner sales ranking TOP1, cumulatively sold 1 million + units!

Xiaomi, which was once regarded as a "layman" by Gree, now ranks fourth in sales in the air-conditioning industry and third in sales. This achievement has stunned many air-conditioning brands, even the leading brand in the air-conditioning industry, Gree Midea, is willing to bow down!

So is the Xiaomi air conditioner worth buying? As a user who has been using Xiaomi air conditioners for more than a year, I would like to share my experience here. How is the quality of Xiaomi air conditioners? To provide you with some reference opinions.

1. Xiaomi 1.5-horse air conditioner hanging up huge power saving N1A1 use experience

There are many complaints on the Internet that Xiaomi air conditioners are OEM of Changhong, and the quality is not good, etc., but in fact Changhong’s own air conditioners are of good quality, but the sales volume is not as good as those of Glimei. (Personally feel that Changhong OEM is better than the previous TCL OEM quality)

And compared to Changhong’s own air conditioner, Xiaomi air conditioner is not just as simple as changing the logo, but also can use Mijia and Xiao Ai classmates, which is especially friendly for people with Xiaomi family buckets at home.

In terms of appearance design, Xiaomi air conditioner giant power saving N1A1 adopts a simple and fashionable appearance, and its unique shape and color scheme not only make the air conditioner itself a kind of decoration, but also improve the beauty of the whole home.

In terms of performance, Xiaomi air conditioner giant power saving N1A1 also performs well. Using full DC frequency conversion technology, 30 seconds of cooling and 60 seconds of rapid heating, whether it is cooling or heating, it can reach the set temperature in a short time, and maintain a stable operating state, greatly improving the user experience.The power saving effect is also very obvious. It took about 2 kWh to turn on for 9 hours.…

In terms of hardware parameters, it is also on par with or even beyond the models of big brands such as Gree, such as the energy efficiency ratio APF of 5.27, the circulating air volume of 680m 3/h, and the high temperature cooling and low temperature quick heating function at -32 ° C to 60 ° C. Basically, it has all the functions it should have.

In terms of actual experience, the cooling and heating effect is no different from other brands, but the noise is relatively loud when it is first turned on, but it is within the acceptable range.

In addition, the detailed design of Xiaomi air conditioner is also more intimate, such as the dual control function of temperature and humidity, as well as the one-button anti-direct blowing function and the top-mounted filter design, which can be used with other functional modules of Xiaomi air conditioner, making it very practical.

Of course, the most attractive thing is the price. In the past, a 1.5-horse air conditioner cost more than 2,000, but now the Xiaomi N1A1 only needs it.1799 yuan.It is hundreds cheaper than when I first started, and various discounts can be superimposed. Some lucky friends will eventually get unexpected discounts.

Second, the experience of using Xiaomi cabinet air conditioners

For the choice of living room air conditioner cabinet, the price advantage of Xiaomi’s giant power-saving 3-horse model is very prominent, about 4,500 yuan. The round design looks elegant, and it looks good in the corner of the living room.

The AFP value is 4.45, which is better than the national standard. The combination of a strong circulating air volume of 1200m 3/h and a large cross-flow fan allows for rapid cooling and long air supply distance in summer.

In terms of intelligent functions, Xiaomi air conditioner cabinets also perform well. It supports Mijia APP remote control, and users can adjust temperature, humidity and other parameters at 0.5 ° C anytime, anywhere to achieve precise control. At the same time, the independent dehumidification function is still more practical in the southern region.

Overall, Xiaomi’s three-horse vertical cabinet air conditioner is very resistant in terms of appearance, intelligent linkage, configuration, and price. After using it for more than a year, I feel satisfied in all aspects and deserve this price.

summary

Is it recommended to buy Xiaomi air conditioners? Overall, I personally think Xiaomi air conditioners are still very cost-effective. It not only performs well in terms of design, performance, quality, etc., but also has an intelligent operating system and energy-saving technology, making it more convenient and comfortable to use.

In addition, there are also big V reviews on the Internet, and the comprehensive score of Xiaomi air conditioner is still good, which also proves that the quality control of Xiaomi air conditioner is much better than before.

If you are considering buying a new air conditioner and seeking cost-effectiveness, Xiaomi Air Conditioning is a worthy option.

　　On February 1, Zheng Junkang, the secretary of the Liuzhou Municipal Party Committee of Guangxi, "angrily scolded" the city’s transportation bureau for not managing the taxi chaos, triggering a heated debate across the country. Ten days later, the secretary said again, asking the public security to take action to rectify the taxi, strictly investigating the monopoly and "black" situation. Half a month has passed, how about the rectification of the taxi chaos in Liuzhou City?　　

　　On February 13, people took a taxi in front of the Liuzhou bus terminal.

　　The secretary angrily scolded the transportation bureau: it is not good to manage the rental and take down the entire team

　　Previously, in Liuzhou railway station, airport and other places, taxi drivers did not set meters, sat on the ground to raise prices, refused to carry passengers, "picking and choosing", and pooling passengers to charge indiscriminately. This series of chaos has often been reported in the newspapers and has been criticized by citizens and tourists.

　　On the 1st, Zheng Junkang, secretary of the Communist Party of China’s Liuzhou Municipal Party Committee, put down his harsh words against the taxi chaos. He ordered the city’s transportation department to manage the taxi chaos within two months, otherwise it will be held accountable. He said: "The relevant departments can’t control this phenomenon, right? If you don’t manage it well, you will be dealt with by the entire team. If you don’t dare to control it, you will send someone who dares to control it."

　　After being named, the Liuzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau said it would use the most severe measures to rectify "chaos". The Liuzhou Municipal Transportation Bureau studied and formulated the "Liuzhou Taxi Car" Chaos "special project centralized rectification action plan", and carried out arrangements for taxi rectification actions. The city’s comprehensive traffic law enforcement detachment increased the intensity of road law enforcement and invested in unannounced visits to investigate and deal with taxis who were reported and complained. After filing a case, the reward was 200 yuan for **** people.

　　On the 13th, taxis in front of Liuzhou Railway Station entered the waiting point in an orderly manner to wait for passengers.

　　Unannounced visit: How is the taxi chaos rectified?

　　After a series of rectification for half a month, how is the current taxi chaos in Liuzhou? On the 13th, the reporter visited the Liuzhou Railway Station, Bus Terminal, South Bus Station, Airport and other problem-prone areas.

　　On February 13, people in Liuzhou Railway Station queued up in an orderly manner to take a taxi.

　　A warning sign was set up on the side of the road near the railway station, prohibiting taxis from parking and picking up passengers at will, and all taxis were only allowed to wait for passengers at the specified location… I saw a long queue of passengers in an orderly manner in front of the taxi waiting point at the railway station, and the staff of the Comprehensive Traffic Law Enforcement Detachment commanded here to help passengers stop cars and supervise taxis to regulate passengers. There were also taxi reporting and complaint phone warning signs on the scene, and it was difficult to see traces of "starting prices on the ground", "refusing to load" and "pooling".

　　On February 13, in front of the railway station in Liuzhou City, a prompt was set up to prohibit cruise taxis from picking up and dropping off passengers.

　　That night, when a passenger asked to put his luggage in a seat after taking a taxi, the taxi driver refused. At the scene, the staff of the Liuzhou Traffic Comprehensive Law Enforcement Detachment stepped forward to coordinate. The staff member said: "From 7:00 to 24:00 every day, there are additional law enforcement officers on duty to strengthen the management of taxi operation order."

　　At the South Bus Station, many passengers were able to reach taxis on the road in front of the station, and some taxi drivers got off to help passengers carry their luggage and place it in the trunk.

　　There are complaint telephone warning signs set up in the taxi and other passenger areas of Liuzhou Railway Station.

　　Although taxi chaos has been regulated to a certain extent, there are still "picking passengers" and "refusing to take them" in some areas. At the exit of the Liuzhou bus terminal, several taxis were waiting for passengers in the taxi passenger waiting area. At this time, Ms. Zeng came to take a taxi with a 26-inch suitcase and several boxes of apples, but was rejected. Ms. Zeng said that she was going to Liunan, but was rejected by a driver on the grounds that the road was a one-way street. Unfortunately, because Ms. Zeng had too much luggage, she could not carry things across the road to take a taxi by herself, so she had to wait in place for her family to pick her up.

　　Shortly after, another group of two adults and three children were about to take a taxi here, but the driver forcibly carpooled and asked them to wait for other passengers to leave. The passenger believed that there were already five people in the group who were unwilling to carpool and left to find a car.

　　In addition to the designated area, across the road from the bus terminal, the reporter observed that there were also many passengers waiting for a taxi, and most of the taxis were metered. The reporter randomly took a taxi to a destination one kilometer away. The driver did not think the distance was too close or shared a car, but went directly by metered.

　　Taxi passenger waiting area in front of Liuzhou Bus Terminal on February 13.

　　Strictly investigate monopolies and "black" situations

　　Previously, many people responded that taxis at Liuzhou Airport never used a meter, and the fare was one price. And taxis reported that Liuzhou Airport only allowed a small number of taxis who paid the fare to pick up passengers in the designated area in front of the terminal building, resulting in this situation. To this end, the Liuzhou Municipal Development and Reform Commission Discipline Inspection Team in the city and the Municipal Price Bureau launched an investigation and handling. After investigation, Liuzhou Airport, on the grounds of anti-terrorism, controlled a certain number of taxis to pick up passengers in the front area of the terminal building, charging 200 yuan per month. Only 50 taxis registered at Liuzhou Airport were allowed to undertake passenger transportation business at the airport, and other taxis could not enter the front area of the terminal to wait for passengers.

　　The practice of Liuzhou Airport restricts and excludes competition, resulting in taxis that have not been registered at Liuzhou Airport carrying passengers from the urban area to the airport after unloading passengers cannot enter the terminal to carry passengers. Unregistered taxis have the phenomenon of emptying the return journey. In order to make up for the loss caused by the return journey, taxi drivers charge passengers in the direction of the airport without meters.

　　On February 3, Liuzhou Price Bureau issued a "Notice of Order to Correct" to Liuzhou Airport, requiring Liuzhou Airport to correct immediately from the date of receipt of the notice. On February 4, Liuzhou Airport cancelled airport taxi parking fees and cancelled airport taxi filing limits.

　　At the same time, the Liuzhou Public Security Bureau has launched a month-long centralized rectification operation to comprehensively strengthen the rectification of taxi chaos and vigorously promote the rectification of five cars. If the evil forces involving taxis and "five cars" are found in the rectification operation, the public security organs will implement "zero tolerance" to crack down on them.

　　On February 13, staff of Liuzhou Transportation Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Team guided passengers to take a taxi in front of the railway station.

　　Can it be controlled or not?

　　At present, there are 11 cruise taxi enterprises in Liuzhou, and the number of cruise taxis is 2,398. Taxi refusal, arbitrary charging, carpooling and other chaos are management problems derived from the development of the taxi industry, and have always been the key rectification goals of taxi industry management departments across the country.

　　Regarding the chaos of taxis in Liuzhou City, the Liuzhou Municipal Transportation Administration responded: "There is no phenomenon that I dare not control, and there is no situation that I cannot control."

　　Hong Weilin, director of Liuzhou Road Transport Management Office, introduced that in recent years, the impact of online car-hailing and the increase in private car ownership have led to a sharp drop in the income of cruise taxi drivers, and some drivers expect to increase their income through carpooling and bargaining. At the same time, the taxi market is sluggish, the quality of the workforce is reduced, the main responsibility of the operator, and the weakening of administrative supervision have all led to taxi chaos.

　　After half a month of rectification, as of now, the Liuzhou Traffic Comprehensive Law Enforcement Detachment has carried out rectification and investigation of a total of 854 cruising taxis, accepted a total of 76 complaints, and verified that 1 complaint with prizes has been honored.

　　According to the rectification plan, anyone who refuses to intercept, negotiate, forcibly splice passengers, take a detour, or dump passengers halfway will be fined 2,000 yuan. Among them, a taxi with a license plate of Gui BT3935 from the car rental branch of Liuzhou Second Transportation Liability Co., Ltd. committed crimes against the wind within 3 days, and there were 2 illegal acts, and two fines of 1,000 yuan and 2,000 yuan were issued. A taxi with a license plate of Gui BT9762 from Liuzhou Tongbang Automobile Transportation Co., Ltd. has been temporarily detained for bargaining charges without dealing with the previous illegal act.

　　On February 13, people took a taxi at Liuzhou South Bus Station, and the driver got off to help carry luggage.

　　Rectification is not a gust of wind

　　Nowadays, the informatization construction of the taxi industry in Liuzhou has not kept up with the development of the times, and the on-board facilities have been seriously implemented. Some management systems in the industry have caused daily management to be difficult to be in place, and road law enforcement inspections alone cannot achieve overdue results. It is necessary to improve the long-term management mechanism and informatization construction as soon as possible.

　　Chen Jian, deputy director of the Liuzhou Transportation Bureau, said that in addition to increasing inspections and severe penalties for the chaos in the taxi industry, the city is planning to introduce some long-term management measures. These include the normalization of law enforcement supervision, the systematization of credit assessment, the intelligence of daily supervision, the popularization of civilization creation, the institutionalization of linkage management, and the legalization of operation management.

　　Through the development of a taxi driver registration system, unregistered taxi drivers will not be able to work in the future. At the same time, we will strengthen the assessment and management of taxi companies and drivers. Combined with administrative penalties and integrity assessments, we will study the blacklist mechanism. If it is serious, the driver’s qualification certificate will be cancelled, and other companies will not be allowed to hire again. In addition, we will use big data to improve on-board facilities and equipment, conduct scientific management, and use scientific and technological means to strengthen the supervision of drivers.

Mayday congratulates Huang Bo on his directorial debut　

Huang Bo said he hopes to hold concerts in the future

　

As a special star in the movie series of the Mayday "Life Infinity Company" tour concert, every time Huang Bo appeared on the big screen, he would cause bursts of cheers from the audience. On August 26, Huang Bo parachuted into the final stage of the Mayday Bird’s Nest concert. As soon as he appeared, he and Ah Xin sang a song "Don’t Listen to Slow Songs for Sad People", which instantly brought the atmosphere to a peak and gave fans a huge surprise.

　

After singing, Mayday first congratulated Huang Bo on his directorial debut "A Good Show", which won a double harvest of box office and word-of-mouth, and successfully unlocked his new identity as a director. Huang Bo also expressed his envy that Mayday could hold concerts on such a big stage, and bluntly hoped that he could have his own concerts like Mayday in the future, which was his dream since childhood.

　

Due to the fable of the movie "A Good Show" about the company’s employees who are shipwrecked on a team-building trip, forced to live together after being stranded on a desert island, and face a series of "human nature" problems, Ah Xin used this to playfully ask Huang Bo: "If Brother Bo, you want to take one person from Mayday to a desert island, who would you choose?" Huang Bo laughed after listening to the voices of the audience at the scene and said that he would take all five people away, and the best thing is that the 100,000 fans of the Bird’s Nest can also come together.

Mayday secretly prepares for Huang Bo’s birthday

Huang Bo Ashin sings the movie theme song "When Every Star"

Because of the arrival of Huang Bo, the two also sang "When Every Star" for the first time on the spot. The lyrics full of beautiful reverie, accompanied by swaying blue glow sticks, brought the audience back to the romantic story of the movie.

The 2023 Hua Chenyu Mars Concert has been announced in three cities – Hangzhou, Chengdu and Wuhan. This year’s "Mars Concert" will still bring the ultimate fusion of music and play, and will also add local characteristics to bring a unique and novel "garden-style" music experience. All four tickets in the Twin Cities are sold out, and the discussion of "Mars Concert" is a hot search on various platforms, once again witnessing Hua Chenyu’s box office appeal.

In the sound of fans’ "encore", Hua Chenyu announced that the Hangzhou station will be added on April 7 and the Chengdu station will be added on May 2, and announced that the Hangzhou station (April 7) will open for pre-sale on March 26. So far, the "Mars Concert" has been held in Haikou Wuyuanhe Stadium (four-sided platform) in 2019, Haikou Changying Global 100 Fantasy Park in 2021, and Hangzhou station and Chengdu station in 2023. Hua Chenyu will also become the only mainland singer to hold three consecutive days of concerts in Haikou, Hangzhou and Chengdu.

For a long time, Hua Chenyu and the Mars concert team have welcomed every Martian home with the utmost sincerity at all costs, insisting that the ticket price does not increase for ten years, the top stage beauty has a long standby time, and one ticket can enjoy two performances of "afternoon show + evening show". The performance duration is not less than 240 minutes, and there are no less than 30 songs per day. Martians can freely choose the way they like to experience the performance. There are also new songs, interactive patterns, romantic streamers and other rotating surprises, so that everyone can immerse themselves in the world of music, eat and drink, and feel the great mountains and rivers of the motherland. And every Martian also gives the "Mars team" a sense of security with the most practical response. Tickets for the Mars Concert in Hangzhou and Chengdu are still in short supply after two consecutive days, which is enough to show everyone’s unswerving expectations for the "Mars Concert". Recently, the organizers announced that the Hangzhou and Chengdu stations will be open for three consecutive days, and the first concert will be advanced to April 7, quietly advancing the pace of the "Mars Spring Season". This move not only tries to meet the expectations of the Martians, but also shows the extraordinary confidence of the Mars team.

The warm spring sun illuminates the pace of "Mars Concert" dream building. With the approaching performance of Hangzhou Station (April 7th & 8th & 9th), the "Mars Behind-the-Scenes Team" has been in Hangzhou Baima Lake Park for nearly a month in advance. Several large trucks with banners of "Mars Concert" slowly drove into the venue. A fantasy Mars paradise will soon be built on this empty land full of thoughts and expectations, and I look forward to every Martian with sincerity returning home. There are also local netizens who warm their hearts every day to post the real-time progress of Mars construction and witness the grand scene of "rising from the ground". The huge silver ring building draws the fairy tale of Mars in their hearts, evoking countless beautiful imaginations. Fans have expressed that this scene is full of a sense of belonging and security! Many fans have started to prepare the red "war robe" when they "go home", or the real-name squatting concert band rehearses the bed-the-scene, and prepares for the "Mars Spring Tour" early.

The third stop of this year’s "Mars Spring outing season" is Hua Chenyu’s hometown of Wuhan, Hubei. Ten years ago, he set out from here with a musical dream for more people to see. Ten years later, he brought the same passion and led tens of thousands of "Martians" home, bringing another layer of romance to this reunion. Looking forward to the pre-sale of the "Mars Concert" Hangzhou Station (April 7), Chengdu Station (May 2), and Wuhan Station (May 27/28), every Martian can go home smoothly!

There were Fujian people who built a palace on Mule Street to worship the statue of Mazu, and it was originally called "Tianfei Palace". It was a meeting place for Fujian merchants to develop business, and it was also a place for them to pray and worship. Later, Emperor Kangxi gave it the seal and renamed it "Tianhou Palace". The whole group of buildings of Tianhou Palace was originally three-way, and now there are the front hall and the main hall. The eaves of the front hall are stoned with "Haiyan" and "Heqing", and the calligraphy is dignified and elegant, which sustains the deep prayers of the people There is an open-air stone statue of Mazu in the courtyard, wearing a phoenix crown, holding Ruyi in the hand, solemn and kind, elegant and handsome facing the canal, as if walking on the waves.
