Practical Logic of Building Modern Civilization of Chinese Nation

  Authors: Zhang Ming and Guo Guangyin (both special researchers of the New Era Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought Research Center, the supreme leader of Jiangsu Province)

  Culture is related to the country’s foundation and national luck, and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation cannot be achieved without the prosperity of culture. It is our new cultural mission in the new era to continue to promote cultural prosperity, build a cultural power and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation at a new starting point. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the historic achievements in propaganda, ideological and cultural work lie in the fact that the General Secretary of the Supreme Leader is at the helm and the scientific guidance of Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era of the Supreme Leader. General Secretary Supreme Leader’s new ideas, new viewpoints and new judgments on cultural construction in the new era are rich in connotation and profound in exposition. They are the theoretical summary of the practical experience of the Party’s cultural construction in the new era, enrich and develop Marxist cultural theory, constitute the cultural chapter of Supreme Leader’s Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought in the new era, and form the cultural thought of Supreme Leader. Adhering to the guidance of the supreme leader’s cultural thought and building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation in the great practice of deepening Chinese modernization is an inherent and inevitable requirement for realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, and it is also an important task put forward by historical progress and the development of the times.

  1. Leadership: firmly adhere to the party’s cultural leadership.

  Propaganda and ideological and cultural work is related to the future and destiny of the party, the long-term stability of the country, the national cohesion and centripetal force, and it is an extremely important work. As an important manifestation of superstructure, culture is a theoretical reflection based on a specific economy, a concentrated expression of a specific class position and class interests, and has distinct ideological attributes. The Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership is the most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and upholding the overall leadership of the Party is the fundamental guarantee for promoting the development of modern civilization of the Chinese nation in the right direction.

  Consolidate the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee established the fundamental system of adhering to the guiding position of Marxism in the ideological field, which is a historical conclusion and a realistic necessity. Marxism, with its thorough scientificity, popularity, practicality and openness, illuminates the road for human beings to explore the truth and realize liberation, and also rewrites the track of social and historical development in China since modern times, enabling the people of China to realize the ideological transformation from passive to active. The "modern" dimension of Chinese modern civilization is endowed by the scientific truth of Marxism from the perspective of world outlook and methodology. Chinese traditional civilization emerged into a contemporary form under the "activation" of Marxist truth power, and realized a modern transformation in the interaction with contemporary practice and contemporary life.

  Consolidate the common ideological foundation of the United struggle of the whole party and the people of the whole country. Ideals and beliefs are the "master switch" of world outlook, values and outlook on life. In the new era and new journey, we must strengthen the lofty ideal of communism and the common ideal of Socialism with Chinese characteristics, and consolidate the ideological foundation of the people’s United struggle throughout the country. Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought, the supreme leader in the new era, adheres to the Marxist standpoint, viewpoint and method, adheres to the basic principles of scientific socialism, profoundly sums up and makes full use of the historical experience of the party’s century-long struggle, inherits and carries forward the essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture, enriches and develops Marxism with brand-new ideological content according to the development and changes of the times and practice, and forms a systematic and scientific theoretical system. To create a new culture that belongs to our era and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must persistently arm our minds, guide practice and promote work with the Party’s innovative theory.

  Carry out the overall leadership of the party in all aspects of propaganda, ideological and cultural work. The Communist Party of China (CPC) is not only an active leader and practitioner of China’s advanced culture, but also a faithful inheritor and promoter of Chinese excellent traditional culture. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has systematically planned and deployed the propaganda and ideological and cultural work from the overall situation and strategic height. Held two national conferences on propaganda and ideological work, emphasizing that "the whole party must do a good job in propaganda and ideological work"; At the symposium on literary and artistic work, he pointed out that "the leadership of the party is the fundamental guarantee for the development of socialist literature and art"; At the party’s forum on news and public opinion work, it was emphasized that "the media sponsored by the party and the government are the propaganda positions of the party and the government and must be surnamed the party"; At the symposium on network security and informatization, it is required that "where the masses are, our leading cadres will go"; At the symposium on the work of philosophy and social sciences, he pointed out that "strengthening and improving the party’s leadership over the work of philosophy and social sciences is the fundamental guarantee for the prosperity and development of the cause of philosophy and social sciences in China"; At the national conference on ideological and political work in colleges and universities, it was emphasized that "the Party’s leadership over the work in colleges and universities should be firmly grasped" … … China’s propaganda, ideological and cultural work is constantly opening up a new situation, and the party’s cultural leadership is always unshakable. It is the fundamental guarantee that the party’s leadership runs through all aspects and links of the work.

  2. Spiritual foundation: strengthen cultural self-confidence and enhance historical initiative.

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader emphasized that "China has firm road confidence, theoretical confidence and institutional confidence, and its essence is cultural confidence based on more than 5,000 years of civilization inheritance". Only when a country or a nation has full confidence in its own cultural ideals and values, as well as its own cultural vitality and creativity, can it have the determination to persist, the courage to work hard and the vitality to innovate and create. Building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is the proper meaning of strengthening cultural self-confidence, and it is also the concentrated expression and future extension of cultural self-confidence.

  The core content of Chinese excellent traditional culture has become the most basic cultural gene of the Chinese nation, which exerts a subtle influence on China people’s way of thinking and behavior. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Without the 5,000-year civilization of China, where would there be any China characteristics? If it is not the characteristics of China, how can we have such a successful Socialism with Chinese characteristics road today? " The world view, world view, social view and moral view contained in Chinese excellent traditional culture are highly compatible with the scientific socialist values. To build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation under the new historical conditions, we must keep the "root vein" of Chinese excellent traditional culture and absorb the wisdom and nourishment of contemporary China cultural construction from the rich resource pool of traditional culture; At the same time, we should go out of the "study" and "classics" to promote the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, so that it can be integrated with contemporary social production and contemporary cultural forms.

  Revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture are precious spiritual wealth with the characteristics of the times, national characteristics, China style and China style. They not only reflect the inheritance of Chinese excellent traditional culture, but also demonstrate the creative transformation and innovative development of Chinese excellent traditional culture, which is a powerful spiritual force to inspire the whole party and people of all ethnic groups to March forward courageously. In particular, the spiritual pedigree of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people, which originated from the great spirit of party building, is a vivid embodiment of revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture, and has become a powerful spiritual driving force to inspire the whole party and people of all ethnic groups to explore a scientific road that conforms to their own reality with self-confidence and self-reliance, and to constantly overcome difficulties and move from victory to victory. Revolutionary culture and advanced socialist culture not only have profound nationality, but also have distinct characteristics of the times and politics. They are powerful forces to shape the internal characteristics of modern Chinese civilization and important support to highlight the socialist value attribute of modern Chinese civilization.

  To strengthen cultural self-confidence and build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must stick to our own path. On the basis of remarkable achievements since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up, historic achievements and changes have taken place in the cause of the party and the state in the new era, which is the most solid foundation for promoting the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation and strengthening cultural self-confidence. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "The primary task of strengthening cultural self-confidence is to base on the great historical practice and contemporary practice of the Chinese nation, sum up China’s experience with China’s truth, and upgrade China’s experience to China’s theory, neither blindly following various dogmas nor copying foreign theories, so as to achieve spiritual independence." To strengthen cultural self-confidence and build a modern civilization of the Chinese nation is essentially to proceed from the historical depth of culture, profoundly grasp the inherent regularity and purpose of our choice of Socialism with Chinese characteristics road, and constantly enhance the theoretical confidence of unswervingly taking our own road from the cultural and civilized levels.

  3. Fundamental method: further promote the "second combination"

  General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "‘ The second combination ’ It is another ideological emancipation that allows us to make full use of the valuable resources of Chinese excellent traditional culture in a broader cultural space and explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations. " The "second combination" shows that our party’s understanding of China’s road, theory and system has reached a new height, that our party’s historical self-confidence and cultural self-confidence have reached a new height, and that our party’s consciousness of promoting cultural innovation in inheriting Chinese excellent traditional culture has reached a new height. Deepening the "second combination" is the fundamental way to build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

  Correctly handle the relationship between modernity and tradition, that is, the relationship between Marxist theory based on modern mechanized mass production and Chinese excellent traditional culture based on natural economy. The "second combination" is not a rigid combination in form, nor a simple physical reaction, but a profound chemical reaction based on mutual integration. Through "combination", Marxism and Chinese excellent traditional culture have achieved each other, forming a modern new civilization that not only follows the basic principles of Marxism but also highlights the profound connotation of Chinese civilization. On the one hand, it activates Chinese excellent traditional culture with the power of Marxist truth, and through creative transformation and innovative development, it blends Chinese excellent traditional culture with Chinese modernization, with modern social life, and with contemporary cultural forms to become modern, thus developing the modern form of Chinese civilization. On the other hand, the great spirit and rich wisdom of the Chinese nation will be injected into Marxism at a deeper level, and the essence of Marxist thought will be integrated with the essence of Chinese excellent traditional culture, which will be fused into new theoretical advantages and make Marxism become China’s.

  Explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations in a broader cultural space. Chinese excellent traditional culture contains rich practical wisdom accumulated in the long history, which has important reference and enlightenment significance in the great practice of governing the country in the new era. From the people-oriented concept of "people are the foundation of the country" to the development idea of "adhering to the people-centered", from the great practice of "Taoism is natural", "harmony between man and nature" to "Lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets", from "harmony among all nations" to "building a community of human destiny", the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core insists on combining the basic principles of Marxism with Chinese excellent traditional culture. We should dig deep into the unique cultural genes and spirit contained in Chinese excellent traditional culture, make full use of the precious resources of Chinese excellent traditional culture, and explore future-oriented theoretical and institutional innovations in a broader cultural space, which has provided a steady stream of power support for building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

  Constantly consolidate the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation in "combination". A culture must have its own subjectivity in order to stand and go far. Since modern times, the Chinese nation has suffered from the disaster of "national humiliation, people’s hardship and civilization", and the cultural subjectivity has suffered a great impact. Rebuilding cultural subjectivity to realize the revival of civilization has become an important dimension to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The Communist Party of China (CPC) stands at the forefront of the times, shoulders the heavy responsibility of rejuvenation, unites and leads the people of China, takes root in China, adheres to the Chinese cultural stance, combines the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete reality of China and the excellent traditional Chinese culture, promotes the creative transformation and innovative development of the excellent traditional Chinese culture, inherits the revolutionary culture, develops the advanced socialist culture, draws lessons from and absorbs all the outstanding achievements of human civilization, and constantly consolidates the cultural subjectivity of the Chinese nation. The creation of the new era of the supreme leader, Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought, is a powerful manifestation of cultural subjectivity.

  4. Promotion path: adhere to the organic unity of taking root locally and facing the world.

  Building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is not only the renewal of civilization, but also a great creation based on the practice of contemporary China. We must firmly adhere to taking root in the native land and absorb the nutrients and strength of civilization construction from the great practice of comprehensively promoting the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization; Adhere to openness and tolerance, and constantly enrich the garden of human civilization in promoting exchanges and mutual learning among civilizations.

  Consolidate the realistic foundation of building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation with Chinese modernization. Building the modern civilization of the Chinese nation is not to "sort out the national heritage" by returning to the study, nor is it simply to transform the traditional cultural expressions with modern concepts, but to make the excellent traditional Chinese culture adapt to modern production and connect with modern life. The modern civilization of the Chinese nation should be constantly generated in the great practice of Chinese-style modernization, and constantly mature in the mutual blending and adjustment with modern production and modern culture. Chinese-style modernization not only endows Chinese civilization with modern power, but also constructs a profound cultural heritage of Chinese-style modernization. As General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "Chinese-style modernization is to continue the modernization of ancient civilization, not to eliminate it;" It is a modernization that grows from the land of China, not the modernization of other countries; It is the result of the renewal of civilization, not the product of the fracture of civilization. " Chinese modernization not only follows the general law of modernization, but also highlights the distinctive characteristics of China’s reality and cultural factors; It not only represents the modern development direction of Chinese civilization, but also highlights the new form of human civilization development, providing a steady stream of nutrients for the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation.

  The modern civilization of the Chinese nation is both national and global. The concept expression of Chinese modern civilization includes two key words: "Chinese nation" and "modernity". "Chinese nation" shows the "Chinese and Western dimensions" of civilization construction, while "modernity" shows the "ancient and modern dimensions" of civilization construction. In fact, since modern times, people with lofty ideals in China have always been faced with the "dispute between ancient and modern China and the West", and there is a bipolar opposition between "total westernization" and "retro conservatism". Chinese civilization is a collection of diverse cultures, and it has outstanding inclusive characteristics, which fundamentally determines the openness of Chinese culture to the world civilization. The Communist Party of China (CPC) insists on not forgetting the original, absorbing foreign countries and facing the future, and correctly handles the dialectical relationship between the native land and the world, tradition and modernity in deepening the "two combinations", thus building a scientific path for the construction of modern civilization of the Chinese nation. General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out: "After long-term efforts, we are more qualified to crack ‘ The dispute between ancient and modern China and the West ’ ,It is also more urgent than any previous era to need a batch of cultural achievements that melt and cast ancient and modern, and connect China and the West. To build the modern civilization of the Chinese nation, we must realize the organic unity of "adhering to the ancestors" and "speaking new words". We must not only inherit and develop China’s excellent traditional culture under the new historical conditions, but also uphold the concept of civilized exchange and mutual learning, constantly absorb all positive achievements of human civilization, promote the localization of foreign cultures, and constantly create new forms of human civilization.

  Guangming Daily (January 2, 2024, 06 edition)

On the joys and sorrows of A-shares in 2015

  As the saying goes, "bull market makes people crazy, bear market makes people grow". In the past year, all investors of A shares must have felt deeply about this. From the "leveraged bull" and "reformed bull" at the beginning of the year, to the huge earthquake in the middle of the year and the gradual stabilization at the end of the year, investors generally felt the feeling of riding a roller coaster, and the scenes of "down limit of thousands of shares", "daily limit of thousands of shares" and even "suspension of thousands of shares" also increased everyone’s knowledge. On the first trading day in early 2016, investors may wish to review the A-share market in 2015, hoping that the future market can move forward in reflection and truly let investors feel the dividends brought by the "reform cow" in the new year.

  9.4%

  A-shares rose by 9.4% in 2015, the first time in eight years that they rose for two consecutive years.

  72%

  What is violent shock? In 2015, the annual amplitude of the Shanghai Composite Index was as high as 72%. The warning of ambush in the ups and downs of the market is never out of date: the stock market is risky and investment needs to be cautious.

  5178.19

  On June 12, 2015, the Shanghai Composite Index reached the highest point of this bull market: 5178.19 points, setting a new high in the past seven and a half years. Li Daxiao, chief economist of Yingda Securities, called this "the top of the earth".

  2850.70

  From June 15th to August 26th, the Shanghai Composite Index dropped by 45%, and the lowest point was 2850.70 on August 26th, and the biggest drop of the Growth Enterprise Market was 56%.

  20222

  The data shows that in 2015, the per capita profit of A-share shareholders was 20,222 yuan, with a yield of 12.41%. The proportion of profitable people is 62%, and the proportion of losing people is 38%. Shareholders with a profit rate of less than 20% accounted for the largest proportion, accounting for 46.52%; 22.77% made a profit of more than 50%. Among the shareholders who lost money, the proportion of shareholders who lost less than 20% was 51.84%, and the proportion of shareholders who lost more than 50% was 8.08%. Among the profit-making people, about 70% of the shareholders earn less than 50,000 yuan, and about 80% of the shareholders lose less than 50,000 yuan. According to the regional ranking, Shanghai investors are the most profitable, with a per capita profit of 39,950 yuan.

  5129

  By the end of 2015, there were 5,129 companies listed on the New Third Board, 3.26 times that at the end of 2014; The total market value reached 2.46 trillion yuan, 4.35 times higher than the total market value of 459.1 billion yuan at the end of 2014. At present, the price-earnings ratio of the New Third Board is 47.23 times.

  From the perspective of the world, A-shares delivered a good report card in 2015, with Shenzhen Component Index slightly ahead of Germany DAX Index, followed by Shanghai Composite Index. However, A-shares are not the most "crazy" stock market. In fact, the most "crazy" stock market in the world is Venezuela, with an increase of 278%, and the Venezuelan stock market has been ranked first in the global stock market for several consecutive years. However, the surge in Venezuela’s stock market is not due to the strong economy. On the contrary, the rise in Venezuela’s stock market is mainly the result of the currency collapse. Some analysts said that panicked investors used the stock market to hedge against the rapid depreciation of the currency. The market index of Jamaica Stock Exchange, a Caribbean island country, ranked second in the world with an increase of 93% during the year.

  Thousand-share limit

  The thousand-share limit is probably one of the most representative shots of the stock market turmoil in 2015. According to statistics, the market has fallen by more than 5% for more than 10 times this year, with the biggest drop of 8.49% on August 24, while the previous drop of more than 8% was on July 27, less than a month apart. The plunge occurred intensively in June, July and August.

  From June 19, 2015 to September 16, 2015, in just three months, there were 16 scenes of A-shares’ daily limit, and it was very rare that there was a daily limit of 1,000 shares in an average of four trading days. It is worth noting that there was a daily limit of more than 2,000 shares on August 24th, and only 15 stocks rose, which was the least among the previous daily limit of 1,000 shares. The turnover was also at the level of land volume, and the market was extremely weak. Statistics show that this round of turmoil has reduced the market value of circulation in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets by a total of 22.9 trillion yuan, and the per capita loss of investors is nearly 240,000 yuan, with a loss ratio as high as 40%.

  Specifically, the margin financing and securities lending system has given the A-share futures market-oriented core, but some analysts believe that the rapid proliferation of leverage has shaken the fulcrum of the market (the financing scale exceeded 100 billion yuan in mid-January 2013, 23 months later, it exceeded 1 trillion yuan in mid-December 2014, and reached a historical peak of 2.27 trillion yuan on June 18, 2015). The abnormal scale comparison of margin financing and securities lending hinders the hedging of the market’s long-short mechanism (on April 9, 2015, the balance of margin financing reached a record high of 10.233 billion yuan, while the financing scale peaked at 2.27 trillion yuan, which was 222 times that of the former).

  In addition, some insiders attributed the A-share plunge to the high proportion of retail investors: as of the end of September 2015, 76.25% of the accounts held less than 100,000 yuan, and only 2.13% held positions with a market value of more than 1 million yuan.

  2015 "National Team" Rescue Timetable

  ★ On June 27th, after the "6.26" plunge of more than 7%, the central bank announced that financial institutions would implement the targeted cuts to required reserve ratios and cut interest rates by 0.25 percentage points from June 28th.

  ★ On July 1st, Shenzhen-Shanghai Stock Exchange announced that it would reduce the market transaction costs. When the plunge occurred, the CSRC relaxed the restrictions on the two financings, and the brokers and customers negotiated on their own.

  Securities companies buy a large number of shares in the capacity of "stabilization fund". From entering the market in early July to August 14th, the Securities and Futures Commission announced "generally not entering the market", and the total amount of funds used to rescue the market was at least 1.5 trillion yuan. According to Wind’s statistics, as of September 30th, among the top 10 tradable shareholders disclosed by A-share listed companies, there were 1,365 listed companies, accounting for 49% of A-shares, including 561 in Shanghai, 233 in Shenzhen, 354 in small and medium-sized board and 217 in Growth Enterprise Market, accounting for about 7% of the total A-share tradable shares.

  HOMS system and umbrella trust

  Noun interpretation

  HOMS is a system developed by Hang Seng Electronics Company in 2012, and its full name is "Hang Seng Order Management System". HOMS system has two important functions: first, it can separate the assets managed by private equity funds and hand them over to different traders for management; The second is to divide positions flexibly, thus solving the practical problems such as insufficient traders and division of positions in private equity funds.

  In actual operation, the fund-matching company uses HOMS system to distribute the funds under a securities account into several independent small units for independent trading and accounting functions (that is, umbrella warehouse). Through cooperation with brokers, it provides leveraged transactions in the name of entrusted fund management or income exchange. The parent account is directly connected with brokers by HOMS system, and the sub-accounts are distributed to individuals for operation, and the annual interest of financing is agreed. In this process, the real-name registration system of the securities firm is completely overhead, and the fund-raising company acts as a fund broker. The essence of its business is to raise funds at a relatively low interest rate from financial institutions such as banks or higher-level fund-raising platforms, and then lend them to investors for stock trading at a higher interest rate, thus earning the intermediate interest margin. It can be said that through HOMS system, OTC fund-raising companies easily broke through the restrictions of account real-name registration system, and started trading with brokers and banks, and were not regulated.

  Before HOMS appeared, off-site fund-raising had existed for a long time. However, the previous off-site fund-raising was conducted in an offline and manual way, which was always difficult to expand due to the restrictions of account opening, capital and manpower. With the help of HOMS system, under the wave of Internet finance, a large number of P2P platforms set foot in the fund-raising business, and easily mobilized highly leveraged fund-raising funds by batch processing the fund-raising demand. At the same time, a large number of funds from the banking system also flowed into the stock market through fixed-income products, which formed a potential risk to the entire financial system.

  In fact, HOMS is not the only tool for OTC fund-raising to access securities companies. According to the data disclosed by China Securities Association on June 30th, OTC fund-raising is mainly operated through the HOMS system of Hang Seng Company and the systems of Shanghai Mingchuang and Straight Flush. The customer assets accessed by the three systems totaled nearly 500 billion yuan, of which HOMS system was about 440 billion yuan, Shanghai Mingchuang was about 36 billion yuan, and Flush was about 6 billion yuan.

  On July 13, 2015, the CSRC organized inspection and law enforcement forces to go to Hang Seng Electronics to interview relevant executives. On July 16th, after the visit of the Supervision Bureau, Hang Seng Electronics announced that it would close the HOMS account opening function and would not increase the capital of the existing account.

No.9 electric car: starting from the high end, trapped in the niche.

Text | Niu Dao Finance Jiang Tong

With the success of Company No.9, Gao Lufeng entered the Red Sea of electric bicycles.

The electric bicycle industry is extremely involuted, which goes deep into villages and towns in China. It is not easy to get out of many enterprises, and the secret of the success of Company No.9 is the differentiated high-end.

Not long ago, Company No.9 held a new product launch conference. Gao Lufeng, founder and chairman of No.9 Company, said, "Based on our scientific and technological innovation and market insight, we hope to make the blue ocean bigger and the red sea blue, and win-win with the market and users."

In the eyes of the public, Company No.9, which firmly occupies the high-end market of electric vehicles, seems to be the most promising king to subvert the electric vehicle market.

However, if a fish knows how to drink cold and warm, it will become a high-end company, and at the same time, Company No.9 can’t escape the niche.

For a long time, the sales volume of No.9 electric vehicle is not at the same level as that of Yadea and Emma.

According to Sina Finance, in 2022, the total annual sales volume of electric scooters and electric bicycles in Yadea was 14.01 million, while the annual sales volume of Emma’s electric bicycles and electric two-wheeled motorcycles was 10.51 million. According to the annual report of No.9 Company, as of March 2023, the cumulative domestic shipment of No.9 electric vehicles was 1.5 million.

With such a big sales gap, can Company No.9 really rely on hard-core technology to achieve counterattack?

Relying on science and technology, Company No.9 is firmly in the high-end market.

In 2012, Gao Lufeng and Wang Ye jointly founded Company No.9, mainly involved in the field of short-distance transportation.

Different from ordinary entrepreneurs, Gao Lufeng, who graduated from Beihang University majoring in aircraft manufacturing, has been focusing on science and technology and innovation since the beginning of his business.

Gao Lufeng once said: "The company’s performance growth is mainly based on continuous innovation, constantly improving the scientific and technological content of products and enabling products to land."

At that time, Company No.9 successfully earned the first bucket of gold by relying on the first generation of intelligent balance cars with self-balance status.

Around 2013, with the rapid growth of mobile phone business, Xiaomi announced the "Xiaomi Ecological Chain" plan, and prepared to invest in 100 AIoT enterprises in the next five years.

Gao Lufeng was keenly aware that this was an opportunity for the rise of Company No.9, so he reached a cooperation with Xiaomi Company. In 2014, with advanced science and technology, Company No.9 became a member of Xiaomi’s ecological chain, and received A-round investment of more than 80 million US dollars from stars such as Xiaomi, Sequoia and Shunwei.

Facts have proved that Gao Lufeng’s choice is very correct, and cooperation with Xiaomi has indeed laid the foundation for the future development of No.9 company.

On October 19, 2015, with the official appearance of the No.9 balance car at the Xiaomi conference, Lei Jun also announced that it would be sold in Xiaomi omni-channel, and the No.9 balance car quickly became popular in the market and instantly became a phenomenal explosion product.

At the same time, in order to improve the technical core strength of No.9 Company, in 2015, No.9 Company successfully acquired Segway, the originator of the world balance car. After the completion of the acquisition, Company No.9 not only owns more than 400 global industry core patents, but also becomes a global leader in the field of intelligent short-distance transportation.

Since then, with the development strategy change of No.9 Company, the balance car is no longer its core business, but its concept of product strength has not changed.

According to the data of iResearch, one of the important elements that more and more consumers consider when buying a car is intelligent function.

The No.9 electric vehicle has a strong lead over other products in software and intelligent technology. In December 2019, Company No.9 officially released its first intelligent electric two-wheeled vehicle, which not only has a product design with both practicality and recognition, but also brings a subversive riding experience with its technological sense design. Many No.9 users feel that "No.9 is Tesla in the electric vehicle industry", which will be unforgettable once it is used.

With advanced scientific and technological design, the No.9 electric vehicle has quickly occupied the high-end market of smart electric vehicles since its listing.

According to the annual report of No.9 electric vehicle, in 2020, the sales volume of No.9 intelligent two-wheeled electric vehicle will exceed 100,000 in the first year of listing; In 2021, the production and sales volume of No.9 intelligent two-wheeled electric vehicle reached 420,000, with a year-on-year growth rate of 300%; In 2022, the sales volume of No.9 intelligent two-wheeled electric vehicle was 826,000, with a year-on-year growth rate of 96.6%.

According to the data of "White Paper on Two-wheeled Electric Vehicle Industry in China in 2023", Company No.9 has always been the first in the high-end market of two-wheeled electric vehicles by continuously focusing on brand technology innovation. According to the comprehensive sales data of two-wheeled electric vehicles in 2022, among the high-end product lines of more than 5,000 yuan, the sales volume of Company No.9 is in the first position in the industry, among which among the top10 models with sales volume of more than 5,000 yuan, Company No.9 has 8 models on the list.

In October, 2020, Company No.9 was listed in science and technology innovation board, Shanghai Stock Exchange, and successfully completed a gorgeous turn of a startup.

02 high-end positioning, but in the embarrassing position of small profits.

With the rapid development of No.9 company, its revenue level has been rising in recent years.

According to the annual report of Company No.9, in 2020, Company No.9 realized annual revenue of 6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 30.88%, turning losses into profits for the first time, and the net profit attributable to owners of the parent company was 73.3264 million yuan; In 2021, Company No.9 achieved annual revenue of 9.146 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 52.36%, and net profit attributable to owners of the parent company was 411 million yuan; In 2022, the revenue exceeded 10.1 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 10.7%, and the net profit returned to the mother was 451 million yuan.

However, although the operating income statement of Company No.9 is strong, its gross profit margin is not optimistic or even ugly.

According to the financial report of No.9 company, although the company’s operating income has increased year by year and the growth rate is not low, its gross profit margin has been declining all the way.

From 2018 to 2021, its gross profit margin was 28.86%, 27.42%, 27.69% and 23.23% respectively.

Although compared with other two-wheeled electric vehicles, the gross profit margin of No.9 electric vehicle is very considerable, but as a brand focusing on the high-end market, its revenue has increased well, but its gross profit margin has been declining, which is not a good sign.

All along, Company No.9 has been in an awkward position of small profits, which has a great relationship with the deep bundling of Xiaomi Company.

In the early days, relying on the big tree of Xiaomi Group, Company No.9 did not worry about order income even though its wings were not full. In 2017, Xiaomi Group contributed more than 1 billion yuan in orders to Company No.9, accounting for 74% of its total revenue; In 2018, Company No.9 received an order of 2.434 billion yuan from Xiaomi Group.

However, although the income is good, it is difficult for suppliers to obtain high profits because Xiaomi products win with cost performance.

According to the prospectus No.9, the products of Company No.9 are in a state of small profits because Xiaomi products are oriented to cost performance and mainly adopt the profit sharing model. From 2017 to 2019, the gross profit margin of Xiaomi’s products sold by No.9 Company was 22.46%, 20.79% and 15.11% respectively, while the gross profit margin of No.9 Company’s own brand was as high as 42.58%, and the gross profit margin of Xiaomi’s products was significantly lower than that of its own brand products.

In order to increase the gross profit margin, Company No.9 chose to gradually untie Xiaomi Company and reduce the proportion of Xiaomi products in the company’s operating income.

I have to say that this move has indeed improved the gross profit margin of Company No.9.. According to the financial report, in 2022, the gross profit margin of Company No.9 rose to 25.97%, up 2.74 percentage points year-on-year. However, the net interest rate of Company No.9 also dropped to 4.43%, down 0.03 percentage point from the same period of last year.

At the same time, after leaving Xiaomi, the performance growth of Company No.9 is basically at a standstill.

Although the revenue and net profit of Company No.9 in 2022 still showed a double increase trend, compared with 2021, the growth rate of revenue and net profit returned to the mother dropped significantly.

In this regard, Company No.9 explained to the media that due to the epidemic situation, the logistics in some areas was interrupted, which led to the shortage of some important raw materials and parts of the company, resulting in delayed delivery.

However, Zheshang Securities analyzed that there will be some pressure on the short-term income of Company No.9, which is actually related to the decline of Xiaomi channel income.

Obviously, although Company No.9 wants to leave Xiaomi to achieve soaring, it seems that the road ahead is not easy.

03 quality problems are frequent, and the prospect of No.9 is not optimistic.

What’s even more embarrassing is that although Company No.9 relies on powerful intelligent technology to achieve cornering overtaking in the two-wheeled electric vehicle market, its product quality problems are frequent, so it has been criticized by many consumers.

According to Shandong Business Daily, in June 2022, Ms. Liao, who lives in Shantou, Guangdong Province, bought a No.9 n70c electric bicycle worth 3,599 yuan in a local No.9 electric bicycle shop.

Unexpectedly, less than half a year after the purchase, there were various failures. Although several dashboards were replaced, they still failed to solve the problem. There are still system failures such as black screen, Bluetooth unable to connect, and APP showing that the vehicle is offline, but the vehicle has been unable to start and use normally, and it has become an electric brick.

On the black cat complaint platform, there are more than 8,100 complaints about No.9, most of which are about quality problems such as "the battery starved to death", "the intelligent system failed during the warranty period" and "the electric vehicle has great safety hazards".

In addition to frequent quality problems, consumers are also very dissatisfied with the after-sales service of No.9 company.

A consumer said on the black cat complaint platform that his No.9 electric car had 40 batteries left, but it broke down and couldn’t be started at all. After contacting the store, the other party asked him to send it to a 12-kilometer store by himself. After contact, no one handled it, and the store said that only one master could not come to the door. He was very disappointed with the after-sales attitude of Company No.9..

In the sampling inspection of relevant departments, the No.9 electric vehicle also failed many times.

In October 2022, Beijing Fengtai District Market Supervision Administration announced the results of product quality supervision and spot check in 2021, which showed that a No.9 electric bicycle produced by No.9 Technology Co., Ltd. was found to be unqualified, and the items involved were "speed warning sound and short circuit protection".

With more and more consumers complaining about the quality of No.9 electric vehicle after use, it will inevitably bring bad reputation to No.9 company.

Recently, in order to find a new growth curve, Company No.9 began to touch the "other economy", hoping to find a new competitive advantage in the unique consumption field of young women.

However, although this group has great consumption potential, it obviously has higher requirements and pays more attention to consumption quality, experience and service.

If Company No.9 can’t actively improve after-sales service and product quality, then the new growth curve may be just a mirage and may not be realized.

Although the dream of Company No.9 is good and it has advantages in the field of intelligence development, it still needs a lot of efforts to make the blue ocean bigger and the red sea blue.

Last night, the Academy Awards first paid tribute to the filmmakers who died in 2018, including Jin Yong, Lan Jieying, Lin Lingdong and Ji Chunhua, who came from various positions in the film industry.

Andy Lau made an opening speech on the stage, hoping that the vitality of Hong Kong films would last forever, and at the same time led to the song and dance performance "Blast", which is also the theme song of Stephen Chow’s "New king of comedy".

Subsequently, Daniel Wu, Feng Delun, Nicholas Tse and Li Canchen, starring in "New Special Police Man", came to the stage as the best visual effects award winners.

This year’s "Professional Spirit Award" was given to Liu Yun, a martial artist of the Dragon and Tiger. This is also the first time in history that a martial artist of the Dragon and Tiger has won the Golden Award.

"Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Master" is a special type of work in Hong Kong movies, which refers to martial arts masters who specialize in filming. They practice martial arts and play thugs and minions in movies. It is common for them to be beaten and injured.

Liu Yun is 70 years old. In 1968, he joined the film circle as a dragon and tiger martial artist. He is the most important dragon and tiger martial artist in the history of Hong Kong movies. He worked with Jackie Chan and other kung fu stars and suffered numerous injuries. In the 1970s, humorous kung fu films were hot, and Liu Yun developed in front of the curtain with the stage name of "Fish Head Yun". In the 1990s, he returned to his original post as a Dragon and Tiger Martial Arts Master, and has been doing so ever since.

This year’s Lifetime Achievement Award went to Xie Xian. Xie Xian, the 83-year-old father of Nicholas Tse, is the witness of Hong Kong entertainment circle for half a century. He was called "the fourth brother" by his peers because he ranked fourth at home, and starred in the movies "The Condor Heroes" and "The True Color of Heroes".

He said on the stage, "I am old. I have been in this business for more than 60 years. I am very happy to see you again. I hope everyone will be happy and healthy. I hope that I will shoot more good plays in the future and show them to you. "

"Warriors" won 7 awards.

Become the biggest winner

In the end, The Warriors won seven awards, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Photography, Best Editing, Best production designer and Best Fashion Design, and won 7 out of 17 awards, becoming the biggest winner of the night.

Yu Dong, the producer of "Warriors", said that he and Zhuang Wenqiang talked about the idea of "Warriors" when they collaborated on the first "Eavesdropping Storm", which lasted for 13 years. The original story outline was in 2006, and it took more than ten years to temper this story.

Zhuang Wenqiang himself won two awards, Best Director and Best Screenplay, at the Academy Awards last night. He was shortlisted for best director four times and won the first prize. He thanked his wife on the stage, "because she always thought my film was a success!" "

Operation Red Sea, who received eight nominations, finally won only three technical awards: Best Action Guidance, Best Visual Effect and Best Sound Effect.

Two award-winning films

It’s all about marginal people

This year, several films reflecting the theme of marginalized people won performance awards at the Academy Awards.

Fallen Man tells the story of two little people in Hong Kong.

Liang Changrong, a middle-aged man, was separated by injuries, and the young Filipino maid had to become a maid because of reality. The unexpected meeting of two strangers taught them how to face the four seasons of life.

Chen Xiaojuan, the director of Fallen Man, is also the winner of the best new director.

Although it is a work directed by a newcomer, The Fallen Man has a high degree of completion. It takes the daily life of the little people as the starting point and substitutes the audience’s emotions with daily warm pictures. It is a typical "little movie".

The film star said on the stage: "I am honored to receive this award from Louis Koo. It turns out that my acting is still very good. I want to thank the director Xiao Juan for her kindness and talent. She treated me like a child at the scene and thanked the producer Chen Guo. Without him, the play would not have been possible. Thanks to my boss for his financial support, so that I can shoot this play without receiving money. "

The best actress was won by Zeng Mei Hui Zi, who played "Sanfu". In her acceptance speech, she thanked Leslie Cheung. "In my heart, my brother gave me great encouragement, and I learned from him what’ the drama is bigger than the sky’."

Kara Wai won the Best Supporting Actress Award for Trish, which is the second time that she won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Academy Awards, and it is also her fifth personal Academy Award.

Sister Hong said on the stage: "It can be said that I am an actor who supports the new director most in Hong Kong. There must be young people in Hong Kong movies. It doesn’t matter how much money an old man like me earns. If Hong Kong movies can blossom, I feel so happy because I am honored to participate."

"Trish" also contributed a best supporting actor, Foo Wa Yuen, who was nominated for the Academy Award for the first time.

He said excitedly: "I am a native of Hong Kong, and Hong Kong movies have accompanied me to grow up. I have witnessed Hong Kong movies shine, and I want to be an actor because of Hong Kong movies. Even if I have no achievements, I have persisted silently for many years. Thanks to the boss Louis Koo, it is not easy to find investment in this subject. " (Lu Fang)

  Editor’s note: April 23rd is the Navy Memorial Day of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army. From the fishermen’s small wooden boats crossing the river in those days to the modern fleet of the blue ocean today, the people’s navy has grown from scratch and from weak to strong. So, where was the People’s Navy born? What kind of process did it go through when it was established? What memories and history are still preserved today?

  Another Navy Memorial Day is coming. Walking into the Memorial Hall of the Birthplace of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy, we can find the answer here … …

  Taizhou Baima Temple

  Witness the birth of the People’s Navy.

  A historical record of Zhang Zhengui is displayed in the exhibition hall of the memorial hall, which shows the reply of the Central Military Commission on the date of the establishment of the navy in 1989: "It is agreed that the date of the establishment of the navy of the East China Military Region on April 23, 1949 is the date of the establishment of the navy of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army."

  This is where it all started. On January 8, 1949, the the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee Conference put forward: "In 1949 and 1950, we should strive to form an operational air force and a navy to defend the coastal areas along the river." At the beginning of that year, the Central Military Commission handed over the important task of forming the People’s Navy to the Third Field Army. In late March, Chen Yi, commander of the Third Field Army, conveyed the decision of the Central Military Commission on the establishment of the People’s Navy to Zhang Aiping, deputy commander of the Central China Military Region and member of the Third Field Committee, and instructed him to be responsible for the establishment of the People’s Navy.

  At the beginning of April, Taizhou Baima Temple became the headquarters of Sanye, with Su Yu, deputy commander and second deputy political commissar of Sanye, and Zhang zhen, chief of staff, leading his troops. "The geographical location here is good, not far from the Yangtze River, which is convenient for the command and flexible dispatch of troops in the battle of crossing the river; At the same time, as an old liberated area, it has a good mass base and convenient transportation. " Wang Mingzhe, a researcher at the memorial hall, said that the headquarters of the Third Field Army Crossing the River was located in the reading building of Wang Jinghu, a large local family. Zhang Aiping rushed to Baima Temple overnight. Under the leadership of Su Yu, he actively participated in the investigation, research and planning of preparing for the establishment of the navy, and began all the preparations for the formation of the People’s Navy.

  On April 20th, the battle of crossing the river started. On the 23rd, the main force of Sanye crossed the river successfully, and the 35th Army of the 8th Corps of Sanye liberated Nanjing. On the same day, the Central Military Commission sent an urgent telegram to Sanye: immediately set up a navy, named the Navy of the East China Military Region of the China People’s Liberation Army. At 1: 30 pm, Zhang Aiping called 13 people, including Li Jin, deputy chief of staff of the 84th Division of the 28th Army, in the conference room on the second floor of Baimamiao Reading Building to hold the inaugural meeting of the East China Military Region Navy.

  In this way, the first unit of the People’s Navy was proclaimed. The White Horse Temple thus became the birthplace of the navy and was written in history.

  Hundreds of cultural relics

  Show the development process from scratch

  The former site of the headquarters of the third field army crossing the river has been preserved for many years. In 1989, the reading building and hall house were officially opened to the public after renovation. In 2006, the former site was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit.

  Today, in six exhibition rooms in four exhibition areas of the former site, rich pictures and detailed words tell the story of the victory of the East Line Group under the command of Sanye Command. The reading building in the former courtyard has a history of more than 130 years. On the second floor of the reading building, the scene of the conference room of the Sanye River Crossing Campaign Command Center is reproduced; Downstairs, the bedrooms and offices of Su Yu, Zhang zhen and Zhang Aiping have been restored, and Chen Zhan has more than 50 physical objects such as carved wooden couches, wooden boxes and coffee tables that the generals have used.

  About 500 meters west of the former site of the birthplace of the navy, it is the memorial hall (new hall) of the birthplace of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Navy. It was completed and opened in April 1999, the 50th anniversary of the birth of the People’s Navy. From a distance, it looks like a huge warship sailing in the sea. On the memorial square, there are more than 20 pieces of navy decommissioning equipment, such as fighter planes, helicopters, mines, radars, missiles and naval guns.

  Enter the exhibition hall from the square through a "gangway". The exhibition area, full of naval elements, consists of five parts: Modern Vicissitudes, Building a White Horse, Powerful Seas, Developing and Growing, and Deep Fish and Water, showing the development process of the People’s Navy from scratch and from weak to strong. More than 300 precious literature and history materials are convenient for the audience to browse and flip through with the help of rear projection TV and touch screen.

  Wooden boat before crossing the river

  Reproduce the history of military and civilian fighting side by side

  The "treasure of the town hall" in the memorial hall is a special wooden boat before crossing the river. From the bullet holes and the traces of cork blocking the eyes covered with it, it is not difficult to imagine the scene when the people braved the bullets to support the liberation army to cross the river.

  This wooden boat before crossing the river, which was unanimously evaluated as a national first-class revolutionary cultural relic by the expert group, was used by the father of Zhou Dehong, a fisherman in Yonganzhou Town, gaogang district, Taizhou, and was collected into the museum in 1999 when the memorial hall was built.

  Zhou Dehong’s father made a living by fishing in Yonganzhou on the Yangtze River, which coincided with the People’s Liberation Army collecting ships and preparing to cross the Yangtze River. Zhou Dehong’s father took the lead in responding and modified his fishing boat to cross the river. After taking the initiative to donate, Zhou’s fishing boat and other collecting vessels moored in Jiajiang, Yonganzhou, along the Yangtze River for short-term training. Later, Zhou Fu paddled the boat and took part in the work before crossing the river. After the victory of crossing the river, this wooden boat has been repaired many times and has been used as a fishing boat by Zhou family.

  "At that time, the People’s Liberation Army almost relied on this wooden fishing boat to cross the Yangtze River. Many unknown boatmen were also behind-the-scenes heroes of this battle, reflecting the history of the military and civilians fighting side by side." Yang Development, director of the memorial office, said.

  Rapid upgrading of naval equipment

  The second aircraft carrier

  The aircraft carrier was developed by China itself. On April 26, 2017, the main hull of the aircraft carrier was completed, and the main system equipment such as power and electricity were installed in place, and the launching ceremony was held in Dalian. This indicates that China’s independent design and construction of aircraft carriers has achieved significant stage results. From rebuilding to building an aircraft carrier independently, it shows that China has fully mastered the relevant technology and management experience of aircraft carriers.

  New 10,000-ton destroyer

  This type of ship is completely independently developed by China, equipped with new air defense, anti-missile, anti-ship and anti-submarine weapons, and has strong information perception, air defense and anti-missile and sea attack capabilities. It is a landmark warship for the navy to achieve strategic transformation and development. On June 28, 2017, the ship was launched in Shanghai Jiangnan Shipbuilding (Group) Co., Ltd., which marked a new step in the development of destroyers in China.

  New integrated supply ship

  This ship is a new type of comprehensive supply ship independently developed by China with the world advanced level, which can provide maritime accompanying supply for our naval aircraft carrier formation and offshore mobile formation. The first ship, Hulun Lake Ship (Ship No.965), was listed on September 1, 2017. The entry of the ship laid a more solid equipment foundation for naval vessels to go deep blue, marking the naval ocean support capability jumping to a new level.

  Other equipment

  Since March 21, 2014, new guided missile destroyers such as Kunming Ship, Hefei Ship and Xining Ship have been listed one after another, which has enhanced the regional air defense and sea strike capability of the surface combat vessels formation; Since January 31, 2013, new guided missile destroyers such as Changchun Ship, Zhengzhou Ship and Xi ‘an Ship have been in service successively. Because of their excellent regional air defense and over-the-horizon strike capability, they have been praised as "China Aegis" by military fans.

  In addition, carrier-based fighters were delivered in batches, early warning aircraft and carrier-based helicopters were added to the family, and the people’s navy team grew stronger.

Changan Auchan z6idd real reputation, Changan Auchan z6idd hybrid is worth buying?

Changan Auchan, as a sub-brand of Changan, shares the technology R&D, procurement and manufacturing system with Changan Automobile, so what is the performance of Changan Auchan Z6 iDD? Let’s understand the real evaluation of the owner:

1. Sufficient power reserve

Changan Auchan Z6 iDD is equipped with a 1.5T engine +110kW drive motor, which matches the 6th gear powershift. The acceleration time of the vehicle is 7.4 seconds and the maximum speed can reach 200km/h.. Compared with many compact plug-in SUVs, Auchan Z6 iDD has advantages in acceleration performance and extreme speed, and can drive at will on both urban roads and high speed.

2. The car cost is low.

Chang ‘an Auchan Z6 iDD has a NEDC pure electric cruising range of 150 kilometers, which can meet the needs of commuting when driving in urban areas every day, and basically does not need to use fuel. Thanks to the Blue Whale 1.5T hybrid engine and the powertrain of 6th-speed powershift, the vehicle can achieve 6L/100km fuel consumption in the state of power loss and direct drive. Even at high speed, the fuel consumption of Auchan Z6 iDD will not exceed 7L/100km.

3. The space is practical enough.

Although Auchan Z6 iDD is a compact SUV, its body size is not excellent in its class, but the rear platform in the car is completely flat, the rear space is spacious, and the leg space and head space are very large. The trunk space is also very spacious, the volume is larger than many compact SUVs, and there are many storage spaces in the front and rear rows of the car, which is very practical.

4. high price–performance ratio

The official guide price of Changan Auchan Z6 iDD is 15.58-17.58 million yuan. Now, under the preferential policies, the price of bare cars remains around 13-15 million yuan. Compared with many compact plug-in SUVs on the market, the advantages of Auchan Z6 iDD are that the whole system comes standard with a long battery life of 150KM, as well as 360 panoramic images, cruise control, keyless entry, electric adjustment of the main driver’s seat, central control of three screens, intelligent voice assistant, independent air outlets in the rear row and other configurations. Combined with the advantages of strong vehicle power, low vehicle cost and large space, the discounted Auchan Z6 iDD is very cost-effective.

5. Insufficient market recognition

Changan’s iDD is a relatively new hybrid technology, and its performance in durability, reliability and stability needs to be tested in the long-term market. As a sub-brand of Changan, Changan Auchan’s market recognition is also insufficient, and Auchan’s logo is more like the logo of a brand-name car in the eyes of many people. It should be pointed out that Auchan is not a mainstream brand.

6. The ride comfort is average

Changan Auchan Z6 iDD is equipped with a 6-speed powershift. Compared with the large-scale use of E-CVT transmission, Changan Auchan Z6 iDD can obviously feel the shift of the vehicle during driving, and its ride comfort is not as good as other new energy vehicles of the same level.

7. Chassis texture is hard.

The chassis suspension of Changan Auchan Z6 iDD adopts the combination of front McPherson and rear multi-links. During driving, the chassis texture is hard, and it has a good filtering effect on large shocks and bumps, but it has an average filtering effect on fine shocks.

8. Driving noise is loud.

According to feedback from many car owners, the sound insulation effect of Changan Auchan Z6 iDD is average, and the tire noise is obvious after the vehicle speed rises. There will be a large wind noise in the A-pillar area when driving at high speed, and the low-speed warning sound of the vehicle is too loud and the sound is relatively cheap when driving at low speed.

长安欧尚Z6

To sum up, if you need a car with both power and fuel consumption, large space and high cost performance, Changan Auchan Z6 iDD hybrid is worth buying. However, it is necessary to pay attention to its above shortcomings, and it is recommended to go directly to the 4s shop for test drive experience before buying.
