I stepped on the thunder! Is the "regulation" of the home furnishing company reasonable to pay the final payment first and then install the cabinet?

  Zhejiang Online April 28th (Reporter Li Xinyi)Recently, Ms. Yang, who lives in Xihu District of Hangzhou, went online to Zhejiang."line explosion"The column broke the news, indicating that she had encountered a headache during the renovation. When the customized cabinet was installed, it could not be embedded because of its large size. However, due to the payment of the final payment to the home furnishing company in advance, the merchant said that she was irresponsible and unwilling to negotiate. Ms. Yang felt very helpless.

  Pay the final payment before loading the cabinet.

  Who will be responsible for the problem?

  Ms. Yang told Zhejiang Online reporter that in February this year, she signed a home customization order contract with Wuyuan Mubinsen Furniture Factory (Hangzhou Store), entrusting the company to produce and process "panel customized cabinets". It includes services such as door-to-door measurement, custom-made cabinets, and door-to-door installation. Both parties agreed that the total price of customized cabinets was 16,500 yuan. Ms. Yang paid 13,400 yuan to Wuyuan Mubinsen Furniture Factory (Hangzhou Store) in advance, and the remaining 3,100 yuan was to be paid after the goods arrived.

  However, after the customization of the cabinet was completed, the merchant asked Ms. Yang to pay the final payment first, and then go to the door for delivery and installation. "At that time, I felt that this was the overlord clause, and the goods had not yet arrived for installation. How can I collect the final payment in advance?" Hearing this request from the other party, Ms. Yang kept drumming in her heart, but she still had no choice but to pay the final payment.

  "I didn’t expect that there was a problem during the installation. One of the customized bookcases was too large, which made it impossible to install it in the corresponding area. This also means that this bookcase is invalid, and it is necessary to spend money to customize a small bookcase. " Ms. Yang said.

  Why is the size of the customized bookcase too large? Ms. Yang explained: "At that time, when the cabinet company came to measure the size, it did not measure all the data. One of the size data was measured by the designer (another company) who asked me to do the decoration design. As a result, the designer was not professional enough in this respect, and the measurement was wrong. Afterwards, the cabinet company did not personally check the size, but simply listened to others’ reports. "

  "The cabinet company said that it was not their responsibility and asked me to spend money again to order new bookcases." Ms. Yang said that she was very upset. "This is all because the final payment has been paid in advance, and they began to shirk after they took the money."

  "It is unreasonable to pay the final payment in advance"

  Industry insiders give defense.Step on the thunder "prompt.

  In the WeChat group established by the cabinet company, Zhejiang online reporters saw that they thought the problem was the decoration designer (another company) who helped to measure the data, insisting that the designer reported the wrong size, which led to the large size of the cabinet they made.

  So who is responsible for the mistake? In this regard, Zhejiang online reporter consulted He Meili, a lawyer of Hangzhou Kuangzhen Law Firm. "First of all, in the early stage, the cabinet merchants did not actually measure the size, but only listened to others’ reports. This is the responsibility of the implementer (merchant), and the customer does not need to bear the responsibility." He Meili said.

  In addition, in response to the problem of paying the final payment in advance, Zhejiang online reporter contacted the company, and the relevant staff said: "It is our company’s long-standing rule to pay the final payment before installation."

  He Meili analyzed that according to the contract signed by Ms. Yang and the company, both parties agreed to pay the final payment after the goods arrived. However, in the actual process, the cabinet company asked the lady to pay the final payment before receiving the goods on the grounds of "company regulations", which is unreasonable. According to the relevant provisions of the Civil Code, the renovation contract signed by both parties through equal and voluntary consultation has legal effect, but the "company regulations" of the company’s staff have no legal effect.

  At the same time, she also reminded that when signing this kind of contract, it is best to write these important details such as the time of paying the final payment, the delivery time, the handling fee of the high floor, and the liability for breach of contract into the contract, so as to remind the merchants to perform their duties, and to leave strong evidence of rights protection.

  "In the decoration industry, there is usually a certain degree of advance payment requirements for purchasing materials and paying workers’ services. However, it is not a reasonable practice for merchants to ask for payment in advance. The final payment should usually be settled after the completion of the project, so that the customer can ensure that the quality of the project meets the contract and the customer’s expectations. If the merchant forces the payment of the final payment in advance, the customer may lose the opportunity to check the quality and details of the project, resulting in related problems not being solved in time. " He Meili said frankly.

  In addition, Zhejiang online reporters also reported this problem to Zhejiang Consumer Protection Committee through the telephone complaints of Zhejiang consumers. Zhejiang Consumer Protection Committee reminds consumers: First, when choosing a home improvement company, we should shop around and try to choose a company with good reputation; Second, we must sign a contract, clearly stipulate important matters (such as the payment of the final payment), write verbal commitments into the contract, and clarify the liability for breach of contract; The third is to consult more professionals to understand the process and key links of home improvement, so as to prevent being missed or misled.

Comprehensively promote the modernization of military theory

  The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly put forward the important task of "comprehensively promoting the modernization of military theory". To thoroughly study and understand the spirit of the important instructions of the Supreme Leader Chairman, we must deeply understand the great significance of promoting the modernization of military theory, give priority to the innovation of military theory, focus on building a modern military scientific research system, focus on building a team of high-quality military theory talents, and constantly consolidate the foundation of military theory modernization.
  Deeply understand the significance of comprehensively promoting the modernization of military theory
  The greater the era of great change, the more powerful theoretical support is needed. We should focus on realizing the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, take the party’s goal of strengthening the military in the new era as the guide, comprehensively promote the modernization of military theory, and provide scientific and powerful theoretical support for the practice of strengthening the military.
  The backwardness of military theory will inevitably lead to passive beatings, which is a profound lesson of China’s modern history. In modern times, the world’s military has evolved from the era of cold weapons to the era of gunpowder, and the rise of western military culture, represented by On War, has led to great changes in the military field. However, China’s feudal dynasty was deeply immersed in the thinking concept of the era of cold weapons, believed in "riding and shooting-oriented", and did nothing to innovate military culture, which led to a war tragedy in which foreign guns were confronted with big swords and spears before foreign invasion. At present, the new military revolution in the world is developing rapidly, the war form is accelerating to evolve into an information war, and new advanced military theories are emerging one after another. The backwardness of military theories means that historical tragedies are likely to repeat themselves.
  Paying attention to the development and application of military theory is an important magic weapon for our party to defeat the enemy. The first generation of leaders in the Communist Party of China (CPC), represented by Mao Zedong, focused on winning national independence and liberation, combined the universal truth of Marxism with the reality of China’s revolutionary war, put forward the way of building and managing the people’s army, invented the strategy and tactics of the people’s war, and formed Mao Zedong’s military ideological and theoretical system, which successfully made up for the deficiencies in weapons and equipment, logistics support, miraculously defeated the enemies at home and abroad armed to the teeth, and realized Chinese’s century-old dream of standing up. In the future, the main war opponents our army will face are very strong, and we must still base ourselves on defeating the strong with the weak, giving full play to the advantages of strategic planning and tactics, being flexible and flexible, and winning with cleverness and wisdom.
  Accelerating the modernization of military theory is an urgent requirement put forward by current military practice. At present, our army is under the new system. How to further deepen the research on the innovation and development of the Party’s military guidance theory, how to promote the scale structure, policy system, integration of defense and civilian technologies and other follow-up reform tasks in an orderly manner, how to scientifically build a joint operational command system, how to innovate and develop tactics that are suitable for our army’s actual situation, how to build and improve the theater strategy and the development strategy of services and arms, how to prepare for maritime rights protection, anti-terrorism and stability, and how to push military forces out, and so on, are all in urgent need of scientific answers.
Vigorously promote the innovation of military theory
  The great innovation of military theory in history often becomes the forerunner of military system reform. Whoever can put forward and apply advanced military theory first can seize the opportunity in the world military competition. This requires that the innovation of military theory should be taken as a breakthrough to comprehensively promote the modernization of military theory, vigorously carry forward the scientific spirit and the spirit of seeking truth, gather hundred schools of thought’s wisdom, understand the changes at all times and at home and abroad, and strive for the truth of war theory in the information age and the reality of national defense and army building practice.
  Always adhere to the research direction of Marxist military theory. Adhere to the supreme leader’s thought of strengthening the army as the fundamental guidance, establish correct scientific research values and academic orientation, and promote the innovative development of military theory.
  Pay close attention to the role of the new scientific and technological revolution theory. Grasp the great impetus of science and technology to the innovation of military theory, closely follow the development trend of the new round of scientific and technological revolution, recognize its huge value-added space of combat effectiveness, find theoretical growth points from it, foresee the changes of war characteristics as early as possible, seize the opportunity of military cognition and seize the highland of military theory.
  Handle the relationship between basic research and practical research. It is necessary to do a solid job in basic theoretical research, so that the research results are profound, strategic and long-term. It is also necessary to strengthen the realistic orientation, adhere to the combination of research and application, adhere to the focus on winning, keep up with the evolution of modern war forms, and focus on exploring and studying the methods of warfare in the information age, so as to draw on the construction, training and management of our army and continuously improve the contribution rate of military theoretical innovation to the growth of combat effectiveness.
  Handle the relationship between qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis. We not only pay attention to exploring military truth and revealing military laws through qualitative analysis methods such as induction and deduction and logical analysis, but also explore new scientific research modes supported by information technology, strengthen the application of experimental demonstration methods in subject research, and solve the problems of insufficient antagonism, lack of accuracy and low reliability of traditional military theoretical research through simulation, mathematical analysis and calculation and comparison.
  Handle the relationship between individual tackling key problems and collaborative innovation. We should not only base ourselves on our own efforts, strengthen our foundation and give full play to the role of "small core", but also walk away from the new path of collaborative innovation, strengthen joint research with military commission organs, war zones, military forces and scientific research institutions of local colleges and universities, and accelerate the formation of an open, cooperative and win-win scientific research pattern.
  Handle the relationship between learning from foreign troops and insisting on taking ourselves as the main factor. It is necessary to be a good scout and lookout at the forefront of military theoretical research, closely follow the latest trends of military powers such as the United States, Russia and Japan in the field of military theoretical research, and also adhere to the principle of promoting theoretical innovation based on ourselves, prevent "what you say is what you say is the US military", correct the practice of mechanically copying foreign military theoretical achievements regardless of our actual military, and create a military theoretical system that conforms to our actual situation and has our military characteristics.
  Strive to promote the reform of military scientific research system and mechanism
  The modernization of military theory is inseparable from the modernization of military scientific research system. At present, the shortcomings in the system and mechanism of military scientific research restrict and constrain the innovation of military scientific research. It is necessary to seize the favorable opportunity of deepening the reform of national defense and the army, improve the scientific military scientific research system and mechanism, get rid of the long-standing disadvantages that bind theoretical innovation, restore the spirit of learning from things and seeking true knowledge, and stimulate the vitality of scientific research and innovation.
  Integrating the spirit of professional research into the construction of new military think tanks. Firmly establish a correct view of military scientific research and regard how many useful and valuable ideas have been put forward as the highest standard for military scientific research evaluation; Strengthen the spirit of independent research, not only books, not only books, but also facts; Strengthen professionalism, gather military experts from all sides, and put forward professional and operational countermeasures and suggestions.
  Do a good job in military scientific research management around "who will manage, what and how to manage" Implement de-administration, establish lean scientific research institutions, and eliminate formalism and bureaucracy in scientific research management; Respect the law of scientific research, let the truly knowledgeable people engage in scientific research management, prevent laymen from leading experts, and reduce administrative intervention in scientific research; According to the demand-oriented, quality-oriented and transformation-oriented, we should do a good job in military project planning and design, and strengthen overall management, process control and quality supervision.
  Solve the problem of academic knowledge with open thinking. In view of the problems existing in military scientific research, such as "no connection with the upper level, no connection with the lower level, and no knowledge of the outside world", we should walk away from the normal way of researchers going to the military commission organs and troops to exchange jobs and solve the problem of "no connection with the upper level and no connection with the lower level"; Get rid of the way of open scientific research, and solve the problem of "not knowing the outside world" by cultivating researchers’ ability of academic exchange with foreign countries and cooperating with local high-end think tanks.
  Promoting military scientific research to go abroad with a broader world vision. Further open international horizons, actively participate in various international academic exchanges, and compete for academic discourse rights; Do a good job in academic exchange platforms such as Xiangshan Forum, actively voice in various fields of military science, show academic existence and enhance influence; Select outstanding researchers to study abroad and improve their ability to engage in international academic exchanges.
  Do a good job in building a team of military theoretical talents
  Talent is the foundation of strengthening the army and the foundation of modernization of military theory. At present, there are some problems in the military theoretical talent team of our army, such as uneven structure, low ability standard and weak professionalism. We should adapt to the urgent need of military theoretical research in the period of great change and do a good job in the construction of talent team.
  Create a capable and professional team of innovative talents. Strictly control the entrance, and select talents who are sharp-minded, professional and solid, have a clear understanding of the world’s military and our army’s reality, and are well versed in the reform of Chinese and foreign military construction and combat methods into the military theoretical research team; Take the opportunity of reform, do a good job in the integrated allocation of human resources, and form professional complementarity and integration advantages; Formulate and implement a scientific talent incentive mechanism and resolutely break the scientific research pot.
  Firmly establish the dominant position of researchers. Focus on giving full play to enthusiasm, initiative and innovation, strengthen the subjectivity of researchers, and build up the consciousness of serving scientific research in party committees and organs of scientific research institutes at all levels, so as to make military theoretical research a post with considerable professional requirements and value dignity.
  Strengthen the spirit of learning and dedication. Military theoretical researchers should be familiar with classic military works and lay a solid foundation for theoretical research; Read more books on philosophy and social sciences to improve logical thinking ability; More quiet and indifferent, willing to sit on the bench for ten years, and study with the tenacity of grinding a sword for ten years, and give good ideas and big ideas for strengthening the army.

The high-end layout has achieved results, and Xiaomi 2023 has made a new starting point.

Winter is getting farther and farther away, people are good with spring, and everything can be expected. After experiencing many uncertain challenges, Xiaomi Group ran out of profit in 2022, and it is likely to usher in another wave of upside in 2023.

On March 24th, Xiaomi Group released its annual financial report for 2022. The financial report shows that in 2022, Xiaomi achieved a total revenue of RMB 280 billion and an adjusted net profit of RMB 8.5 billion. Innovative business expenses such as smart electric vehicles are RMB 3.1 billion, and R&D expenditure in 2022 increased by 23% year-on-year.

The macroeconomic downturn, global inflation, the impact of the epidemic, consumer demand has been seriously challenged. IDC, an international data company, reported that in 2022, China’s smartphone market shipped about 286 million units, down 13.2% year-on-year, the biggest drop ever. After a lapse of 10 years, the shipments of smart phones in China once again fell to the market below 300 million yuan.

In the face of extremely difficult market environment, Xiaomi has enhanced its brand competitiveness with high-end strategy in the past three years, and the promotion of high-end strategy has achieved initial results. According to the financial report, Xiaomi’s global smartphone shipments remained the third, reaching 150 million units, and smartphone ASP achieved three consecutive years of growth. The monthly active users of Xiaomi’s global smartphones also ushered in a record high. As of December 2022, the number of monthly active users of MIUI worldwide increased by 14.4% year-on-year to 582 million, and the sustained growth momentum presented and promoted the company’s resilient development.

At the beginning of this year, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, recently issued an internal letter saying that 2023 is a year for Xiaomi to start a new development cycle, and it is also the time for a series of profound changes to enter the deep water area. The group is at the starting line of a new stage.

According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, many economic indicators showed positive changes, and the economic recovery started. Guosheng Securities believes that consumer electronics will experience a weak demand side in 2022 and is expected to usher in a replacement cycle repair in the next two years. This year, Xiaomi Group launched a new business strategy of "paying equal attention to scale and profit", and built up a strengthened system capability, laying a solid foundation for the long-term development in the next 5-10 years, and fully preparing for a new round of outbreaks in the next 2-3 years.

High-end strategy has achieved initial results

With the low-end market share, China brand has occupied more than half of the global mobile phone market, which on the one hand makes the market scale, on the other hand makes the brand face the dilemma of positioning and profit, and seriously limits its innovation ability. Standing at an important turning point of high-quality economic development, high-end layout has become the general trend of the transformation and upgrading of China brands and China manufacturing.

In 2022, the average selling price (ASP) of Xiaomi’s global smartphones reached a record high, reaching RMB 1111. At the same time, in the fourth quarter of 2022, the smartphone ASP in Xiaomi mainland increased by over 14% year-on-year, and the shipment of high-end smartphones (RMB3,000 and above) accounted for 6.8 percentage points year-on-year. According to third-party data, in the fourth quarter of 2022, the sales volume of Xiaomi smartphones in Chinese mainland market ranked first in the price range of RMB 3,000-4,000, and second in the price range of RMB 4,000-5,000.

In view of the trend of younger and more entertaining consumption and the increase of female users, in July 2022, Xiaomi launched the first Xiaomi 12S Ultra equipped with two self-developed chips, namely, 澎湃 G1 and 澎湃 P1, to realize the combination of one-inch outsole and Leica image aesthetics, and to provide a brand-new mobile image experience for image lovers. In August 2022, Xiaomi launched a new generation of folding screen flagship Xiaomi MIX Fold 2 to help Xiaomi open the ultra-high-end market of folding screen. The "high-end stable price" strategy maintained by these two high-end models during their life cycle has effectively promoted the rise of Xiaomi ASP, and is also conducive to Xiaomi’s further promotion of high-end strategy.

At the end of 2022, Xiaomi teamed up with Leica to build the Xiaomi 13 series with self-developed chips, and with the new MIUI14 system, the smooth experience was improved by 60%. Under the blessing of aesthetics and algorithms, the image experience was even better. It is reported that the Xiaomi 13 series has been ranked first in the price range of RMB 4,000-6,000 in the Android camp in Chinese mainland market for 7 consecutive weeks. As of January 12th, 2023, the favorable rate of this series in JD.COM was over 99%, which attracted loyal powder and iron powder, and will also witness and promote Xiaomi to grow into a high-end brand.

Dare to invest in the long run

Since 2007, smart phones in China have developed for nearly 16 years. Being a brand lies in the morning and evening, and so does being a high-end brand. Long-term activists should lay out the present based on the future.

High-end products depend on high-end technology. It can also be seen from the financial report that even under the pressure of internal and external pressure in 2022, Xiaomi still attaches importance to research and development and dares to invest. In 2022, Xiaomi Group’s R&D expenditure was RMB 16 billion, up by 23% year-on-year, with a five-year compound growth rate of 38.4%. Xiaomi estimates that the total R&D investment in five years (2022 -2026) will exceed RMB 100 billion. By December 2022, the proportion of Xiaomi R&D personnel in the total staff has increased to nearly 50%, accumulating human resources for continuous development and innovation.

The technological innovation in the intelligent era is a multi-dimensional integration of cross-industry, cross-scene and cross-region. Xiaomi actively deploys smart phones, smart cars, robots and other fields. It is estimated that the total R&D investment will exceed RMB 100 billion in five years (2022 -2026), and a perfect talent incentive mechanism will be established. By the end of 2022, Xiaomi’s R&D personnel accounted for nearly half, and held a million-dollar technology award for four consecutive years.

China brand has enjoyed the dividend of digital development, but the appearance of high-end final results still needs to go through many tests. Firmly believe and persist in investment, there will be accumulation and opportunities.

Going to overseas differentiation strategic market

"The macro environment will gradually improve, and it will still take some time for a full recovery." Lu Weibing, president of Xiaomi Group, attended the telephone call for the first time, and said that 2022 will be a year in which Xiaomi’s ability will be reborn. Looking forward to 2023, Xiaomi will still have to "cross the cycle". Crossing the cycle is not an easy task. The high-end strategy promotes Xiaomi products and brands to leap upwards, go overseas and seek a bigger world in a wider and higher place.

According to Xiaomi Group’s financial report, 75% of the global shipments of smartphones in 2022 came from overseas markets. "Focus on steady operation and differentiate our strategic market", Lu Weibing stressed at the telephone conference that Xiaomi will promote high-end brand in key markets around the world. At present, China mobile phone manufacturers still rely on low-end models to achieve "scale" overseas. It is reported that the international version of Xiaomi 13 series has been released in March this year. Whether the high-end flagship of Xiaomi it represents can really "profit" overseas, I believe the market will give an answer soon.

In addition to mobile phone products, Xiaomi’s overseas Internet business grew strongly in 2022, and its total annual revenue increased by 35.2% year-on-year to RMB 6.8 billion. In the fourth quarter of 2022, Xiaomi’s overseas Internet service revenue increased by 19.4% year-on-year, reaching RMB 1.9 billion, a record high, and its proportion in the overall Internet service revenue increased to 26.1%. As an important advantage of Xiaomi, the scale effect of intelligent hardware and digital ecological operation give Xiaomi the growth through different cycles.

Intelligent ecology strengthens core values

Based on the huge hardware installation base, Xiaomi has put high-quality, cost-effective and other rich product combinations into different life scenes through artificial intelligence technology and the Internet of Things, linking thousands of active users, stimulating the stickiness of high-frequency consumption, and building a smart ecosystem of Xiaomi, which has always been the core value of Xiaomi.

The product-side force leads to the user experience. In the financial report, it is directly reflected in the corresponding data growth. In 2022, the global shipment of Xiaomi Smart TV reached 12.4 million units, and the annual revenue of smart home appliances increased by over 40% year-on-year. In the fields of office and family entertainment, the annual shipments of Xiaomi tablet increased by over 160% year-on-year, and the shipments in Chinese mainland in the fourth quarter reached a single-season high. According to Canalys data, in 2022, the market share of Xiaomi tablet in Chinese mainland increased to the third place, and its leading edge continued to be released.

The synergy between channel layout and product structure has been further deepened. In 2022, the GMV of channel AIoT products under Xiaomi line increased by over 27% year-on-year, maintaining a good growth trend.

The financial report shows that in 2022, Xiaomi’s revenue from IoT and consumer products reached RMB 79.8 billion, of which the revenue in the fourth quarter was RMB 21.4 billion, achieving a 12.5% month-on-month increase. As of December 31, 2022, the number of connected devices (excluding smartphones, tablets and laptops) on Xiaomi AIoT platform increased by 35.8% year-on-year to 589 million; In December 2022, the number of monthly users of Xiaoai and Mijia APP increased by 7.1% and 18.6% respectively, reaching 115 million and 75.8 million.

Large-scale ecological creation tests the R&D and manufacturing capabilities behind the products, but ultimately depends on the improvement of efficiency and benefits brought by digitalization. This year, Xiaomi put forward the business idea of "paying equal attention to scale and profit" for the first time. At the same time, the Group Management Committee and the Group Human Resources Committee were established to coordinate and optimize the strategic structure, operation management and resource allocation, focus on improving quality and efficiency, and promote the construction of professional long-term management system.

It is foreseeable that the headwind factors brought by the macro-environment are gradually easing, and consumer demand and the vitality of scientific and technological innovation continue to be released. However, Lu Weibing stressed that Xiaomi should be cautiously optimistic about the market in 2023, "strengthen risk management and pay attention to steady operation." He hopes that by improving the internal efficiency of Xiaomi, the profit target will be finely managed at the executive level.

With caution and optimism, it remains to be seen how Xiaomi will perform in the new year as the company promotes innovative business, continues to tackle key scientific and technological problems and improve its management model.

Is it protecting the environment for female netizens to show off garbage and be exposed to posing?

  It was World Environment Day yesterday. Yesterday morning, a male netizen named "Han Liming leon" sent a Weibo, accusing a female netizen "cccci Zheng Jiayi" of putting on a show in the park, posing with four woven bags of garbage on the spot, then throwing them away and leaving.

  This "fake public welfare show" event quickly reached the hot search list in Weibo yesterday. However, just as netizens accused "cccci Zheng Jiayi" of hype, things reversed. The female netizen said that the above behavior was directed and performed by "Han Liming leon", and the purpose of their "reverse expression" was to make more people pay attention to environmental protection.

  Fangshan Public Security Bureau expressed its position after the intervention, and everyone should abide by the moral bottom line.

  "Han Liming leon" posted four screenshots of the park surveillance video, which proved that "cccci Zheng Jiayi" first took photos with four woven bags of garbage, dumped and scattered them before taking photos, and finally left a litter and walked away.

  "Han Liming leon" thinks that the photos sent by "cccci Zheng Jiayi" Weibo have reversed the above process, making netizens think that she cleaned the garbage.

  After "Han Liming leon" questioned Weibo, netizens’ comments also turned over: "Punching the face", "Large rollover scene", "Great strength", "reverse operation" and "flashback" … …

  Reverse again

  Female netizens said that self-directed self-acting is reverse propaganda.

  Yesterday afternoon, the topic of #cccci# quickly boarded the hot search in Weibo, and the netizens received rave reviews. Many netizens asked if there were any punishment measures, and some netizens @ Fangshan Public Security Bureau’s official Weibo "Fangshan Police Online". Fangshan police quickly intervened after the incident, and the police rushed to Fangshan Life Lake Aerobic Sports Park for investigation.

  However, at this time, "cccci Zheng Jiayi" sent another message to Weibo, saying that "the initial intention of doing this thing is to make more people pay attention to environmental protection. The only purpose of this reverse expression is to make more people pay attention to today, because today is World Environment Day. ".

  "If our reverse expression violates the law, as long as more people can realize the importance of environmental protection. We are also willing to be dealt with. " "cccci Zheng Jiayi" said in Weibo.

  In addition, she said in the Weibo that "Han Liming leon" played the role of a park management officer in this matter. In his reply to the police, "Han Liming leon" also admitted that this incident was self-directed and self-performed, and "reverse propaganda".

  the police

  No one has been found dumping garbage and posing. Everyone should abide by the bottom line of civilization and morality.

  The reporter learned from Fangshan police yesterday that the police found the shooting position in the suspected photo in the park, but the monitoring showed that no relevant personnel entered the park on June 3, and no behavior of dumping garbage and posing was found. No one in the Park Service released the surveillance video. At the same time, the cleaning staff did not find abandoned garbage.

  The police also said that there are surveillance cameras in the park, but they are not facing the position where the photos are taken. The four surveillance video screenshots released by "Han Liming leon" are all PS.

  Fangshan Police Online actively contacted two bloggers, cccci Zheng Jiayi and Han Liming leon, and asked to contact the police to explain the situation. Subsequently, two netizens posted what Weibo said was a reverse propaganda act to promote World Environment Day.

  Fangshan police suggested that everyone should abide by the standards and bottom line of civilization and morality and express their feelings in an appropriate way.

  Latest progress

  Many big V’s fell into the pit and two netizens emptied Weibo.

  Although the police responded to netizens’ concerns in time, there were still many netizens and Internet moguls who fell into the "pit". They forwarded "Han Liming leon"’ s previous questioning of Weibo and denounced and criticized "cccci Zheng Jiayi"’ s show behavior.

  Cccci Zheng Jiayi said in her latest Weibo that the move was not for "wanting to be red", but she was really "angry" yesterday. The reporter found that "cccci Zheng Jiayi" is not a big Internet V. When it released the Weibo for cleaning up garbage on June 4, the number of fans was only over 200, but by 8: 00 last night, her fans had reached 1,600, and Weibo’s comments had approached 30,000.

  However, last night, shortly after the police reported the investigation results of this incident, "cccci Zheng Jiayi" and "Han Liming leon" both emptied their Weibo.

"『Scrambler Sixty2 has three colors to choose from: atomic orange, ocean gray and dazzling black."

  The car adopts air-cooled L-shaped twin cylinders, with a displacement of 399cc, which is half that of the Scrambler self-propelled tour (with a displacement of 803cc) currently on sale, and the data of 41 horsepower and 34 Nm are basically half that of the Scrambler self-propelled tour in performance. Undoubtedly, this product is more suitable for entry-level users to choose. From the actual test drive experience, the power output of Scrambler Sixty2 is very smooth and soft. For daily use, the power is enough and it is suitable for novices to control. Its exhaust sound is also much quieter than the previous Ducati products.

Home of the car

  At the same time, the exhaust pipe design of L-type twin-cylinder engine is completely different from that of self-swimming, and it adopts the layout design of directly penetrating from the center of the car body, instead of arranging the exhaust path on the right side like Scrambler self-swimming. The exhaust path of Sixty2 is shorter and more direct, which brings another advantage that the right leg of the knight is no longer suffering from high temperature, and the engine displacement is small, so it is obviously felt that the heat generated during riding is much smaller than that of Scrambler self-swimming, and it is more comfortable to ride.

  In terms of chassis, as a more entry-level car model, there are many differences between Sixty2 and Scrambler. For example, the 41mm Kayaba inverted front fork has become a 41mm vertical Showa front fork on Sixty2, and the radial four-caliper of the front wheel has also become a double-piston caliper. However, the diameter of the front brake disc of Sixty2 remains at 320mm and that of Scrambler is 330 mm. There is not much difference in the size of the brake disc, while the rear brake is.

Home of the car

"The front is replaced with a vertical front fork and a double piston caliper."

Home of the car

Home of the car

"The rear rocker arm is no longer a cast rocker arm, but a steel pipe type rear rocker arm is adopted."

  Six-dimension 2′ s Kayaba is the same as the self-propelled rocker arm after the preload is adjusted, but the rear rocker arm is a steel tube structure, and the self-propelled rocker arm is an integrated cast rear rocker arm. The front and rear tires are still MT 60 RS series products, but the width of the standard rear tire is changed from 180mm to 160 mm. The curb weight of Sixty2 is 185 kg, which is 7.5 kg lighter than that of self-swimming, while the sitting height is still 790mm, which is suitable for drivers of 170 mm-180 mm.

  Finally, talk about the price. If we look at the displacement alone, a two-cylinder motorcycle of 400cc order sells for 83,800 yuan, which is higher than expected for many people. This price can buy Harley’s Street 750 in China, and there are many 600cc motorcycles to choose from, so there is no advantage in simply talking about cost performance. It seems that the 83,800-yuan Sixty2 and Scrambler self-tour have opened a clear gap in price, but from the perspective of "threshold", 80,000 yuan is still not an "approachable" level for the domestic mainstream motorcycle market.

Home of the car

  In North America, the price difference between Sixty2 (about $8,000) and Scrambler’s self-tour is only $500, while in Hong Kong, the price difference is HK$ 10,000, and Sixty2 sold for HK$ 99,800. Therefore, it is not only China that is "expensive". Ducati’s positioning and pricing of Sixty2 does not seem to be considered from the perspective of displacement. As far as I know, it is not a car built simply to lower the threshold, but a model positioned as a trendy product. It carries more "trendy" and "young" cultures and attitudes of "fun" and "self", and sells feelings, which has nothing to do with the displacement.

  Therefore, 83,800 yuan, for you, is not a 400cc motorcycle, but a personality and a flaunt, a culture, a Scrambler and a Ducati. Yes, that’s it. (Text/Figure car home Fan Xin)

AI identification algorithm of vehicle speed measuring UAV, a new weapon of intelligent traffic management.

With the acceleration of urbanization and the increase of traffic flow, the challenges faced by traffic management are increasing. Vehicle speeding not only threatens road safety, but also increases the risk of traffic accidents. In order to solve these problems, the AI identification algorithm of vehicle speed measuring UAV came into being. Fuya Intelligent provides a set of efficient and accurate vehicle speed measurement solutions through its advanced UAV AI identification algorithm.

Eight changes in Spring Festival travel rush in the past 40 years of reform and opening up: from 100 million to nearly 3 billion.

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 6th Title: Eight major changes in Spring Festival travel rush in the past 40 years of reform and opening up.

  Xinhua News Agency "Xinhua Viewpoint" reporters Qi Zhongxi, Fan Xi and Zhao Wenjun

  As the Spring Festival approaches, Spring Festival travel rush is getting busy. Looking back at Spring Festival travel rush since the reform and opening up 40 years ago, what great changes can we find?

  — — Change 1: from 100 million to nearly 3 billion, the scale has expanded 30 times.

  Looking through the history of Spring Festival travel rush in New China can be traced back to 1954 at the earliest. At that time, the word "Spring Festival travel rush" appeared in the media for the first time, and the relevant parties also determined the principle of "unified command and coordination by the Ministry of Railways, and when necessary, please ask the CPC Central Committee and the State Council to ask the provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions and the People’s Liberation Army for assistance" to do related work well.

  Spring Festival travel rush really became a social focus, but also from the beginning of reform and opening up. The spring tide of reform has enabled China’s population to move on a large scale, and the increase in income has given people spare money to travel. Migrant workers, students, visiting relatives and tourists have begun to converge in Spring Festival travel rush. In 1979, China’s Spring Festival travel rush made a historic breakthrough of 100 million person-times. "One vote is hard to find" has become the focus of Spring Festival travel rush every year since then.

  In 2018, Spring Festival travel rush is expected to send 2.98 billion passengers nationwide, which is basically the same as last year. In forty years, the size of Spring Festival travel rush has expanded 30 times.

  — — Change 2: the speed is 40 kilometers to 350 kilometers per hour, and the high-speed rail compresses the time and space distance.

  People who have experienced Spring Festival travel rush more than ten years ago or even earlier will never forget the green leather car. The carriages are full of yearning for their hometown, and also bear the hardships of the journey home, not only the crowded carriages, but also the slow speed of stop-and-go. At that time, the average speed of national railways was less than 40 kilometers per hour.

  On April 18, 2007, the first EMU train with a speed of 200 kilometers per hour started at Shanghai Station, and China entered the era of motor trains. At present, the national railway operating mileage reaches 127,000 kilometers, of which the high-speed railway with a speed of more than 250 kilometers per hour exceeds 25,000 kilometers, ranking first in the world.

  Nowadays, there are more and more "Fuxing" high-speed emus with a speed of 350 kilometers per hour. The distance from Beijing to Shanghai is about 1300 kilometers. It took almost one day and one night decades ago, but now it takes more than four hours at the earliest. High-speed rail greatly compresses the distance between time and space.

  In 2018, with the addition of 3,038 kilometers of new high-speed rail to Spring Festival travel rush, the total number of railway passengers will increase by at least 30 million, of which about 60% will travel by high-speed rail.

  — — Change 3: From "small window" to "big data", subverting the way of purchasing tickets.

  "Buying tickets" has been an eternal theme in Spring Festival travel rush for decades. But how to buy a ticket has been very different these years.

  Huang Xin, deputy director of the Passenger Transport Department of China Railway Corporation, used to work in Guangzhou Railway Group, and began to engage in passenger transport services in Spring Festival travel rush more than 20 years ago. According to his memory, at that time, the dense queues in front of Guangzhou station could throw out a few kilometers away. At night, people lay on the floor in front of the ticket window with bedrolls and lined up all night.

  Nowadays, with the popularity of the Internet and the development and use of the new generation railway ticket system, people can buy tickets by "moving their fingertips" through the Internet.

  "In 12306, the daily average page views reached 55.67 billion times, the page views reached 81.34 billion times at the peak, and the maximum number of hits in one hour was nearly 6 billion times, with an average of about 1.65 million times per second. The processing capacity reaches 15 million sheets per day. " Zhu Jiansheng, deputy director of Institute of Electronics, Academy of Iron Sciences, said.

  At present, the Internet, including mobile APP, accounts for more than 60% of the total ticket sales, and more than 80% in big cities.

  — — Change 4: From "battlefield" to "airport", the waiting environment is very different.

  "Just like fighting, I can’t go home at the station for dozens of days. I divert people in the station square and waiting room every day for fear of an accident." Whenever Spring Festival travel rush was mentioned, Yao Hongren, the retired former deputy secretary of the Party Committee of Beijing West Railway Station, still has a lingering fear.

  Huang Xin recalled the "thrilling scene" of that year and said that at that time, the station and waiting room were all full of people, and the dense heads looked scary. People are like the tide. After the tide recedes, the waiting square is full of squeezed shoes.

  "When I arrive in Spring Festival travel rush, I am most afraid that the people gathered in the station can’t walk every day, and there is an accident like trampling, and I am scared every day." Huang Xin said.

  In those days, the railway station in Spring Festival travel rush was like a "battlefield", which makes it hard for people who are used to high-speed trains to imagine. Today’s high-speed rail station is not much different from the airport. More people like to calculate the time to arrive at the station, print their tickets by electronic equipment, and then visit the shopping malls inside to buy some special products, or sit down for a cup of coffee.

  — — Change 5: From "starvation" to "online ordering", "internet plus" got on the train.

  "You can still eat hot and authentic braised pork on the train. I really didn’t dare to think about it before!" During his stay in Spring Festival travel rush, Mr. Chang, who lives in Baotou, said cheerfully in the dining car of the Z315 train from Beijing to Hohhot.

  This year in Spring Festival travel rush, Hohhot Railway Bureau Group took the lead in offering "Chinese fast food" reservation and delivery service on Z315/6 and Z317/8 trains for different levels of demand, so that passengers can enjoy the Spring Festival travel rush on the tip of their tongue.

  Eating by train is a big problem. In the past, it was not easy to get on the green leather car, so it was a luxury to eat hot meals and dishes on the car. With the gradual improvement of the ride environment, people can eat the box lunch provided by the train, and more people choose to bring their own dry food.

  According to the memories of some retired railway conductors, everything was brought at that time, including pancakes, green onions and lunch boxes. Later, more and more people brought bread, sausages and instant noodles, and even roast chicken beer was brought when conditions were better. There is a dining car on the train, and there is a box lunch delivered by a trolley. The cheapest box lunch on each train always sells the fastest.

  Now, there are more and more bento boxes on the train, ranging from 15 yuan to seventy or eighty yuan. Since last summer, the railway has launched the Internet ordering service for EMU trains, which has enriched people’s dining on high-speed trains: not only fast food such as KFC and Kung Fu, but also local specialties such as beef noodles, lion’s head and salted duck.

  — — Change 6: From "going around" to "extending in all directions", the road home is easier.

  In people’s memory, Spring Festival travel rush is always closely linked with railway trains. In fact, Spring Festival travel rush’s road trip is the "big head". Of the nearly 3 billion passengers this year, less than 400 million were transported by rail, and more than 80% went home by road.

  Because of the highway, we don’t have to take a tractor or even a carriage, but drive a car and get on a bus; Because of the bridge, we don’t have to take a small ferry anymore; Because of the tunnel, we don’t have to go around in the mountains anymore … … Nowadays, the road network extending in all directions makes the road home easier, faster and safer.

  In the early days of reform and opening up, the highway density per 100 square kilometers in China was only 9.1 kilometers. Now, this figure has expanded more than five times, reaching 48.92 kilometers per 100 square kilometers.

  China’s expressways didn’t start construction until the 1980s. In 1988, the Shanghai-Jiading Expressway was opened to traffic, marking a zero breakthrough in China’s expressways. In 1999, China’s expressway mileage exceeded 10,000 kilometers, and last year it reached 136,000 kilometers. The expressway has covered 97% of the cities and prefecture-level administrative centers with a population of more than 200,000.

  — — Change 7: From "pots and pans" to "express delivery", the less luggage, the easier it is.

  No matter how you go home, always take your luggage. Over the years, people’s luggage has also changed a lot.

  Ten years back, in railway stations and long-distance bus stations, the kind of "you carry the burden, I hold the child, bring all the pots and pans and bedrolls, and there is a small home in the luggage" is everywhere. People who go home from work bring as many new year’s goods as possible, as well as daily necessities that they can’t bear to throw away.

  Nowadays, in Spring Festival travel rush, the burden on people’s shoulders is getting lighter and lighter, and the steps are not as heavy as before. Less luggage, on the one hand, shows that life is better, and the gap between urban and rural areas has narrowed. What used to be only available in the city is now available in the countryside. On the other hand, the booming e-commerce has acted as a "porter" for new year’s goods.

  According to the person in charge of the Market Supervision and Research Department of the Development Research Center of the State Post Bureau, more and more people are shopping online for the Spring Festival in advance, and people have not arrived yet. During my stay in Spring Festival travel rush last year, more than 100 million parcels were on the road every day, of which more than 60% were new year’s goods.

  — — Change 8: From "going home" to "traveling", Spring Festival travel rush is all over the world.

  As the old saying goes, "If you have money, go home for the New Year". No matter how hard the journey is, you must go back to your hometown and parents for the New Year. In recent years, it has become fashionable to take family members out to travel for the New Year. Northerners go south to "warm up", southerners go north to "cat winter", and even more and more families travel abroad.

  During the Spring Festival of 2017, the country received a total of 344 million tourists, a year-on-year increase of 13.8%. This year, this figure is only a lot more.

  According to Ctrip’s travel forecast, the Spring Festival in 2018 will be the "hottest" Spring Festival in history, with more than 6 million outbound tourists, more than 100 departure cities, more than 60 countries and 280 destinations around the world, and the farthest to the South Pole.

In many places in the north, the temperature drop may reach 20℃ when the weather changes suddenly on the 15th.

  Beijing, March 15 (Reporter Zhang Ni) Recently, the rising temperature in most parts of the country made people feel the warmth of spring, and the temperature in many cities even hit a new high this year. However, from today, affected by cold air, the north will usher in a "weather change", and the temperature drop in some places may reach 20 C.

  The temperature in the north "reverses the daily limit" and Jinan cools down or reaches 20 C.

  Recently, the temperature in North China, Huanghuai and other places climbed to a new high this year.

  According to China Weather Network, the temperatures in Beijing, Shijiazhuang, Zhengzhou and other cities all hit new highs this year, while Linzhou (30.6℃) in Henan and Shexian (30.5℃) in Hebei exceeded 30℃, making them the first two cities in northern China to reach above 30℃ this year.

  On the 14th, the warmth in the north continued. The highest temperatures in Lanzhou and Xining were above 20℃, which was as warm as early May.

  However, after the warmth reached its peak, the temperature in the north ushered in a "daily limit reversal".

  The Central Meteorological Observatory issued a forecast on the 14th that in the next three days, the temperature in the central and eastern regions will reverse, and the temperature in the north of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River will drop by 6 ~ 10℃, and the local temperature drop can reach more than 12℃. Some areas in the northwest will also be accompanied by windy and dusty weather. At present, the temperature in the south is high and the unstable energy is sufficient, so it is easy to stimulate strong convective weather when it meets cold air.

  The reporter observed that there will be a "big diving" of temperature in some cities on the 15th, from spring to winter.

  For example, according to the data of Jinan Meteorological Bureau, the highest temperature in Jinan reached 27℃ during the day on the 14th, and it will be only 7℃ during the day on the 15th, with a drop of 20℃.

  In addition, the influence of cold air on North China, Huanghuai and other places will start from the night of 14th, and the temperature will dive sharply on 15th, and the maximum temperature will drop to around 10℃. At the same time, the arrival of cold air will obviously alleviate the low visibility weather that lasts for many days.

  The temperature plummeted, and the "cold spring" came?

  The attack of cold air makes people feel chilly in spring, so does it mean that the cold spring is coming?

  The reporter found that the cold in late spring refers to the weather phenomenon that the temperature rises rapidly in early spring (generally refers to the end of February and the beginning of March) and the temperature is lower than normal in late spring (generally refers to April).

  Long-term rainy weather or frequent cold air invasion, or strong radiation cooling on sunny nights under the control of continuous cold and high pressure, can easily cause late spring cold. The climate in early spring is changeable. If the cold air is strong, the temperature can drop below 10℃, even in rainy and snowy weather.

  However, the reporter noted that although it has been more than one month in beginning of spring, many areas have not yet entered the meteorological spring.

  According to the Division of Climatic Seasons, the 5-day moving average temperature based on the current year’s temperature series constitutes a moving average temperature series. When the moving average temperature series is more than 10℃ and less than 22℃ for 5 consecutive days, the first date in the corresponding current year’s temperature series that is more than 10℃ is taken as the start date of spring.

  According to this standard, many parts of the country, including Beijing, have not yet officially entered the spring, so this cooling can not be called "late spring cold".

  Why is the weather changeable in spring?

  The recent temperature "roller coaster" has made people realize what "a child’s face changes three times a day in spring".

  Why is the weather changeable in spring? In this regard, the meteorological department gave three reasons.

  First, the atmospheric circulation situation has been adjusted. In spring, the high-altitude westerly circulation affecting China becomes relatively flat, the intensity of the weather system weakens, and the mobility is very obvious. Cold air, like a passer-by, meets with warm air, and jointly staged a series of rainy and snowy weather "short plays".

  Second, the cold and warm air are evenly matched. In spring, the warm and humid air flow from the ocean is becoming more and more active, and at this time, the cold air is not willing to quit the weather stage. The two are frequently dispatched, and they advance and retreat with each other, staged scenes of spring thunder, rain and snow. Once the rain clears in the south, the temperature will rise again soon.

  Third, solar radiation began to strengthen. After entering March, the direct point of the sun gradually moved from the south of the equator to the north hemisphere. At this time, the sunshine was stronger than that in winter, but after all, it was not so strong, which made people feel that there was still cold in the morning and evening, and the temperature rose obviously around noon.

  At the same time, experts also remind the public to pay attention to "spring cover" when it is warm and cold, and adjust their clothes according to the temperature and humidity at that time. The temperature is lower in the morning and evening of spring than at noon, so it is better to wear more clothes than at noon in the morning and evening. When reducing clothes, you should reduce your coat first, then lower your clothes, and pay more attention to keeping your lower body warm. (End)
