3 million Bentley only wants 620 thousand? Whoever buys an ultra-low-priced parallel luxury car regrets it.

  More than 300,000 yuan for Porsche and 600,000 yuan for Bentley Rolls Royce? Smart, when you see such an advertisement, you must know that there are a lot of tricks. However, all-media reporters have noticed on major websites and community platforms that similar advertisements for selling luxury cars at ultra-low prices are endless every year, especially near the end of the year. Recently, the traffic police department announced some cases of car inspection, pointing to the risks and hazards of buying low-priced luxury cars. However, there are still many people who are willing to "pretend to be confused" and covet small bargains. Che Tianxiajun digs the stories behind these low-priced luxury cars for everyone.

  Text/Photo: Guangzhou Daily All-Media Reporter Deng Li

  [Price Check] There is a market for smuggling cars at a low price.

  Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini … … These familiar luxury cars are super-running, which is the dream of many people. Where there is demand, there is a market. A shady smuggling channel has been quietly selling ultra-low-priced luxury cars in the market for many years. This is what we often call water trucks. How cheap is the smuggling car? Take a 2015 Porsche Cayenne GTS as an example. The guide price of a new car is more than 1.5 million yuan, and the price of a used car with a car age of about 1-2 years ranges from 1 million to 1.3 million yuan, but it only takes more than 300,000 yuan to smuggle. A 2012 Bentley speeding at a price of 5 million yuan, the normal second-hand price is 1.3 million to 2 million yuan, but the smuggling car only needs 600,000 to 700,000 yuan. In other words, you can buy a top luxury car at the price of a small BMW or a big Mercedes-Benz. No wonder some people are excited.

  The reporter noticed that the current "publicity" channels of car smugglers mainly rely on automobile communities and forums, followed by the spread of WeChat friends circle. In a rider forum, a reporter casually saw an advertisement: "Hummer, Porsche, 400,000 yuan, Touareg, 300,000 yuan, Bentley, 600,000 yuan can win … …” Followed by more than a dozen riders’ consultation posts. As for why it is so cheap, the poster explained that the original imported new cars sold by domestic 4S stores are all declared in the form of bulk import trade, and the state has imposed a high import tax. Their original imported cars are declared in the form of small import trade or goods, so the price is attractive. It sounds like that, but is it?

  [Source Exploration] Most of them are illegal inflows of used cars in the United States.

  The vehicle management department pointed out that at present, there are only two legal channels for regular imported cars. One is the medium-sized imported cars imported by automobile OEMs and sold by authorized dealers, and the other is the parallel imported cars imported through regular ports in countries such as Tianjin Port and Nansha Port. Those imported luxury cars that are far below the market price are not the same as the "parallel imported cars" that have already obtained the import status through formal channels.

  How did these cars get into the domestic market? All-media reporters contacted a car smuggler by selling the phone number of car smuggling online. The other party claimed that he was in Dongguan. If the price was satisfactory, he could drive the car to Guangzhou and pay for it. After several communications, the smuggler also revealed a lot of information. He said that Huangjiang, Dongguan, where he is located, is the most concentrated place for smuggling cars, and most of them come from the used car market in Europe, America and Europe.

  All-media reporters learned that the warranty period of new cars in the United States is generally three years, and the warranty cost will increase greatly after the warranty period, so many Americans will sell them after the warranty period. Therefore, the used car market in the United States is very large and cheap. These cheap used cars have become the main source of smuggled cars in China. Car dealers first import cars to Hong Kong duty-free and then smuggle them to the mainland through Hong Kong. The vehicle management department pointed out that these smuggled cars do not have legal "identity cards" and cannot be licensed in the vehicle management office.

  [Turning into the road] All rely on the "deck" traffic police to directly detain the car.

  There are policies and countermeasures, and car dealers try their best to sell smuggled cars. The traffic police department pointed out that the most common way for car smugglers to help buyers "get on the card" is "deck", and it has formed a "professional" operation. Through their own channels, these illegal car dealers first find the regular vehicles with the same model and color as the smuggling vehicles, and then according to the real information of the regular vehicles, transform the identification code, frame number and engine number of the smuggling vehicles into the same as the legal vehicles, and forge a set of identical documents at the same time. This is the most common method of licensing the smuggling vehicles.

  "Others directly set the license plates of the same model bought by their relatives and friends. They are separated by two places, and each driving their own car does not interfere with each other, and it is even more difficult to be found." The traffic police pointed out that the deck car is definitely not transferable. Of course, there is also a wonderful way to set up a deck, let the owner report the loss of a set of driving license, and then change the frame number and engine number of the smuggled car to the same as the legal car under his name. In this way, it can be used in different parts of the country with less money. Some car smugglers will find various underground channels to handle legal temporary license plates, which is also a relatively more "safe" deck method. Although there are many ways for smugglers to deck cars, the traffic police pointed out that the risk of deck cars is very high, and once they are found, they will directly detain them. "No matter how realistic the fake license and number plate are, they can be easily identified." According to China’s traffic laws and regulations, vehicles that use forged license plates will be detained without relevant formal and legal procedures, and those involved will be fined less than 5,000 yuan.

  [Tip] Don’t get carried away by the cheap.

  The price of smuggling cars is very low, but don’t be carried away by the cheapness. Mr. Liu, a local second-hand car practitioner, told the reporter that smuggling cars is not only illegal on the road, but also risky from its source. It is reported that at present, the sources of smuggling cars are not only domestic used cars eliminated in European and American markets, but also foreign stolen vehicles, scrapped or smuggled parts assembled vehicles. Many of these smuggled cars are accident cars and scrapped cars. After dismantling the flying roof and reassembling the paint, the appearance looks bright and beautiful, but the vehicles can’t meet the safety standards originally designed. In addition, due to the different sales areas, the condition of smuggled cars may not be suitable for domestic use. For example, some smuggled cars are equipped with a temperature protection device for their engines in cold areas. Once such vehicles are used in the south of China, the engines will frequently stall and cannot be used normally. Moreover, domestic oil products and road conditions are also easy to make smugglers "acclimatized" and cause endless troubles to car owners in maintenance.

  [Case link] More than 3 million Bentley 620,000 bought?

  Recently, a post-90s boy in Hunan bought a Bentley car worth more than 3 million yuan "smoothly" for only 620,000 yuan, and happily drove home in a luxury car. However, on the afternoon of December 14th, the young man and his Bentley were stopped by the traffic police at Xiaotang Toll Station of Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao Expressway. When the traffic police checked Bentley’s driving license and license plate, they found that all of them were forged and the license plate was also a deck. The young man told the traffic police that this Bentley was purchased after he saw the barrage advertisement on a website. Although he once suspected that the vehicle was not quite right, he found a so-called friend to help him check and said that there was nothing wrong with the car. Now this Bentley has been seized by the local traffic police and is suspected to be a parallel deck car. The young man’s car purchase of 620,000 yuan is a waste of water. Although it is really undesirable to be so greedy and cheap, there are quite a few similar cases, and there are different ways to buy them. "The Porsche I bought is basically used in my hometown and countryside. As long as it is not illegal, it has never been checked. If I need to drive a long distance or drive in a big city, I will still drive the car bought through formal channels. " Mr. Kong Kong of Guangxi, who is doing business in Guangzhou, told reporters that he bought two smuggling cars. A year ago, I spent 350,000 yuan to buy a smuggled Land Rover. After my fresh addiction, I recently contacted the same used car company. After selling Land Rover for 400,000 yuan, I spent 300,000 yuan to buy a Porsche Cayenne, which was enough for luxury car addiction.

Metaphor of Plague | daisy miller: Died of Rome Fever and Identity Anxiety.

[Introduction]

In 1978, susan sontag, who suffered from cancer, finished Metaphor of Disease. The skin-cutting experience and daily experience of the disease gave her an observation angle to examine and analyze the disease discourse in the literary tradition. Fifty years later, an infectious disease came unexpectedly in China, and the long and painful tug-of-war seemed to be an immersive tragicomedy being staged. Everyone had to be involved in it, and had to face up to complex social problems and taste the subtle life situation. This gives us an eagerness to re-examine the expression of plague in various literary works at different stages, and the personal experience from real life will also bring a different perspective to literary interpretation.

Daisy miller, Henry James/Happy, Zou Hailun/Translated, Zhejiang Literature and Art Publishing House, September 2011.

Daisy miller is perhaps the most popular and popular work of American writer Henry James. It was written in 1878, serialized in magazines at first, and published as a book in 1879.

Henry James was born in new york in 1843. Before he wrote daisy miller, he had repeatedly crossed the Atlantic and traveled in Europe for many years. Since childhood, Henry James has traveled in Europe with his parents, and stayed in hotels all over Europe in Switzerland, France and Italy. As described in daisy miller, "Except hotels, they are hotels". James’s father, eager for Europe, not only explored and appreciated Europe’s long-standing culture, but also out of a cultural impulse of the United States in the 19th century. As an educated American, it seems necessary to go to Europe and the old world to find American spiritual ancestors. What Americans really look like and what they should look like, it needs a different culture to be distinguished. It can be said that for upper-class Americans, Europe is a touchstone of identity, whether their identity is noble, whether their tastes are elegant, whether their behavior is decent, and whether their morality is pure. European standards are the yardstick for Americans to define themselves.

In the 1970s when daisy miller was written, with the end of the American Civil War and the great development of industry, railroad tycoon, mining tycoons, speculators and adventurers were born overnight. Although the affluent class in the United States still yearns for Europe tirelessly, the purpose of going to Europe has quietly changed. The trip to Europe is no longer just a spiritual journey to pursue noble culture, but more a way of enjoyment. More generally speaking, European travel has changed from a unique fashion of the upper class to a fashionable way of spending money by the new rich. For a time, American beauties wore eye-catching luxury clothes, lived in expensive high-end hotels, and entered the European upper-class social circle with amazing wealth and self-confidence. The upstarts not only hit Europeans, bringing them dramatic surprises and surprises, but also hit American groups living in Europe.

This is the background of the birth of daisy miller. As a representative of American upstarts, daisy miller, a beautiful girl, met all kinds of Americans when traveling in Europe. Her simplicity, openness and naturalness have been severely accused by American compatriots, and Winterbourne, the hero, is puzzled between Daisy’s simplicity and debauchery. Finally, daisy miller died dramatically of Roman fever, an infectious disease thought to be related to miasma in ancient Rome. (In fact, it may be Malaria spread by mosquito bites. In English, malaria malaria comes from the medieval Italian word "mala aria", which means miasma, and is named because malaria occurs mostly in swamps. )

Researchers usually regard daisy miller as one of Henry James’ representative works during his "international theme" creation period. The works of this period often focus on the acclimatization of Americans when facing the impact of European culture, and the simplicity and openness of American style are vulnerable to the complexity and sophistication of Europe. Obviously, daisy miller is a microcosm of the pure and open America, but in the novel, her opponents are not sophisticated Europeans, but Americans who have lived in Europe for a long time. Europe’s long history, complexity and gloom are conveyed by these Americans who already know the way of Europe. In addition to the wrestling between Europe and the United States, there is also an internal contest in the American circle. As mentioned above, the upstarts come to Europe to stir not only the air in Europe, but also the restless nerves and identity anxiety of the upper-class Americans living in Europe.

Henry James

Warwick: the Back Garden of the Puritans

The beginning of the novel is very distinctive. The story is told by an omniscient narrator who takes readers to the resort town of Wowei near Geneva, two or three years after the unfortunate events in daisy miller. After describing the lakes, mountains and tourist sights of the town, the author fine-tuned the time axis forward and introduced the hero of the novel, Winterborn, an American boy who was deeply educated in European culture. After that, the story is narrated through the omniscient third person, and Winterborn’s subjective perspective is introduced as a filter.

Winterborn met daisy miller, a beautifully dressed American lady, in the garden and recommended herself as a tour guide for Miss Miller. Winterborn felt that the behavior of traveling with single women was not in line with European tradition, but this little deviance made him excited. However, Winterborn found that the young lady was "not embarrassed at all" and "not angry or upset", as if it was normal to associate with men. The attitude of the Millers also puzzled Winterborn, and Daisy’s mother was completely free from the nervousness of her guardian. Although Winterborn is fascinated by Miss Miller’s nature and beauty, she can’t help wondering whether Miss Miller is an honest lady or a rude girl. Is her frankness a national trait or a personal upbringing?

After daisy miller and Winterborn traveled alone for 30 years, E·M· Forster described the proper way for "educated" European men and women to get along in the novel Room with a View published in 1908. When George’s father warmly invited Miss Lucy to change a room with a view, Miss bartlett, Lucy’s companion, became so angry that she couldn’t believe that a man would make such an unreasonable conversation. Perhaps in 1908, Miss bartlett’s anger was somewhat outdated, but in Europe 30 years ago, I’m afraid American girls did their own thing.

Henry James’s novel style is often awkward, ambiguous and full of implications and hints. Although daisy miller is unusually vivid and lively, it does not prevent Henry James from burying subtle clues in the novel. It is no accident that the novel begins in the small town of Warwick near Geneva. Geneva, as the center of Calvinism, represents a rigorous and conservative European atmosphere, and also represents the self-admonition of Americans who carefully seek identity in Europe. In order to get rid of the reckless, vulgar, lack of integrity of the American impression, upper-class Americans do not hesitate to strengthen their Puritan rigor and defend the tradition more fiercely to prove themselves.

But Warwick is different. The beauty and laziness of this resort town, the surprisingly blue lake and the mild moonlight all soften the Puritans’ serious temperament, so that young Americans like Winterborn can temporarily escape from the suffocating air, tentatively break the rules and take social risks. For the Millers who lack social experience, Wowei’s lakes and mountains distract their attention. At this time, they have not yet noticed the hidden contradictions in the circle of Europeans and Americans.

Rome: Ambiguous and Complicated Space

Winterborn’s strict aunt, Mrs. Kostrov, hinted to him that although the Millers looked elegant and rich, their position in the social hierarchy was not too high. This is daisy miller’s first evaluation in the circle of European and American people.

In January, Winterborn came to Italy as promised, and the location of the story changed from a simple holiday town to a broader, complex and ambiguous space: Rome. Different from rigorous Geneva, Europe represented by Rome is divided into two dimensions. On the one hand, ancient art and tradition are admirable, on the other hand, it is chaotic and full of unknown risks. In this field, several kinds of Europeans and Americans, represented by Daisy, Winterborn and Mrs. Walker, began to collide.

The first new figure to appear is Mrs. Walker, who has lived in Geneva for many years and is spending the winter in Rome. This is also a hint, another American who disciplined himself under the European tradition. Mrs. Walker can be regarded as a supplement to the strict and conservative Aunt Costello, because the arrogant Aunt Costello has sternly refused to meet Miss Miller, and the appearance of the slightly gentle Mrs. Walker aims to make readers feel the confrontation between the old and the new nobles.

In the social arena, Miss Miller’s wildness and her own way are a whirlwind. Not only does she not abide by the code of conduct of upper-class women, but this time she introduces a more dangerous factor-foreign men with suspicious identities-than traveling alone with upper-class American men in Warwick. "I casually made friends with half a dozen Roman men who specialize in chasing rich women and took them everywhere." If the Millers’ rural nouveau riche background triggered a subtle but unobtrusive rejection from the upper class, Daisy’s association with the lower class was an intolerable and dangerous act, like introducing a virus into the stable and closed upper class, which made people fidgety.

The dramatic scene took place outside Mrs. Walker’s apartment. Daisy is going to the nearby Pinzio Park for a walk with her "suspicious" Italian friend Chovan Neni. At this time, the threat of Roman fever first appeared in the novel. First, Mrs. Walker tried her best to persuade her, because it was easy to catch fever during the rush hour. Daisy miller didn’t listen to advice, and then Mrs Walker hurried out with the carriage, trying to finally save the wild girl. "Tell her to get on the bus and walk around here with her for half an hour, so people will find that she is not too wild, and then send her back to the hotel."

This is not so much a threat of infectious diseases as an identity anxiety of strangers. What makes Mrs Walker nervous is the chain reaction caused by daisy miller’s lack of education. Her carelessness will make Americans look suspicious and vulgar in front of European traditions, and will make Americans living in Europe encounter a collective identity crisis. Daisy seems to be a suspected infected person. She rashly broke through the boundaries of class and came into contact with the rude virus of the lower class. If she is not isolated and exiled in time, she will endanger the health of the whole upper-class American.

Stills of the movie of the same name (1974) adapted from the novel.

Colosseum: the punishment of plague

In a sense, Winterborn’s hesitation, confusion and delay in daisy miller constitute the tension and structural advancement of the whole novel. In the face of the slander thrown at Daisy, he sometimes dismissed it, thinking that Daisy was sincere and simple, and sometimes it was difficult to convince himself that Daisy’s repeated behavior of breaking through class boundaries was a proper lady’s behavior.

Winterborn’s feelings for Daisy are divided along two tendencies: one is to try to find proof of Daisy’s innocence, so that when he claims to be in love with her, he won’t make a "fatal mistake" on class issues; The second is an impulse to belittle Daisy’s class, so that he can return to the stable and unified values of American upper-class compatriots without any worries.

At the hesitant stall in Winterborn, American immigrants gradually gave up daisy miller. Winterborn "never saw her again in those acquaintances’ homes", "They no longer invited her as a guest, but also said that they would solemnly announce to keen Europeans that although Miss daisy miller is an American girl, her behavior is not representative, and even her compatriots think that her behavior is very abnormal". Daisy miller, suspected of being infected with the dangerous virus of the lower class, was gradually isolated from the American social circle.

But daisy miller seems unconcerned and still goes his own way. Finally, when Winterborn saw daisy miller and Chovan Nene enjoying the night scene in the Colosseum in the middle of the night, he made up his mind to define daisy miller as a frivolous woman, and no longer had any respect for her. At this time, the miasma of disease in ancient Rome revived again, turning into a moral admonition and punishment, engulfing women who did not obey social rules and protect themselves, and making careless girls die in infectious diseases. This social rule not only includes the correct way of communication between men and women, but also includes whether women choose the right communication object. It should be noted that just six months ago, in the small town of Warwick, Winterborn also politely invited daisy miller to go boating for a night outing. However, under the double guarantee of Puritans and upper-class status, such a night outing was obviously not in danger of getting sick.

More than 50 years later, Roman fever in the Colosseum in ancient Rome has a more gloomy meaning in Edith Wharton’s works. A woman set a trap to compete for her husband. She used an impostor love letter to let her rival go to the Colosseum for a tryst, with the intention of exposing her rival to Roman fever in dangerous air and dying. Like the daisy miller incident, the miasma in the Colosseum never spared any women with moral defects. But unlike Miss Miller, who was bent on her own way, this reckless woman learned from a bitter experience after being infected with fever, abandoned the past dust, seized the opportunity of her last marriage and returned to the upper class again. She was seriously ill, but she survived.

Judging from our compatriots in daisy miller, daisy miller may have died of recklessness, misconduct and moral defects, but we can also say that daisy miller died of the curse and murder of our compatriots in the United States who were eager to get rid of it.

Is it necessary to vaccinate the elderly over 80 years old? National CDC responded

  CCTV News:On the afternoon of December 8th, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council held a press conference with the theme of "further optimizing the implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures". Responsible comrades of the National Health and Wellness Commission and relevant departments of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention and relevant experts attended the conference and answered questions from the media.

  At the press conference, a reporter asked, many elderly people over the age of 80 are inconvenient to move, suffer from a variety of chronic diseases, and generally rarely go to public places. Why do they need vaccination? What facilities are provided for the disabled and semi-disabled elderly in the service?

  Xia Gang, director of the Department of Health and Immunity of the National Bureau for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the current epidemic situation is still severe and complicated, and vaccination still has good effects in preventing serious illness and death. Vulnerable groups such as the elderly can easily develop into severe illness, critical illness or even death after being infected with Covid-19, and vaccination with COVID-19 vaccine will benefit the most.

  Xia Gang said that a considerable number of disabled and semi-disabled elderly people in China live at home for a long time and rarely go out. However, infection may still lead to illness or even serious illness and death during the company or visit of relatives, so it is still necessary to vaccinate. At the same time, considering the mobility of these elderly people, in order to make them more convenient for vaccination, we have continued some previous good practices, including using mobile vaccination vehicles, driving special vaccination sessions for the elderly, opening green channels for vaccination for the elderly, etc. At the same time, it is proposed that all localities can send medical personnel with rich experience in diagnosis and vaccination to form vaccination teams, and provide home vaccination services for disabled and semi-disabled elderly people with common equipment and medicines needed during post-vaccination observation, so that these elderly people can complete vaccination without leaving home.

A few yuan a set of wearable nail art, a baby cloth book in 10 yuan, an electronic watch in 20 yuan, and solar outdoor lighting in 300 yuan … These are the products displayed by many merchants at the "Cross-border E-commerce+Industry Belt" activity site in Guangdong Province recently. On the same day, hundreds of cross-border e-commerce sellers and cross-border e-commerce platforms conducted face-to-face docking.

On-site merchants told the Securities Times that most of these goods will be sold around the world through cross-border e-commerce platforms. The cross-border e-commerce channel monopolized by Amazon a few years ago is now being replaced by many Chinese cross-border e-commerce platforms such as AliExpress and SHEIN.

According to data released by the General Administration of Customs, the import and export of cross-border e-commerce in China in the first quarter was 577.6 billion yuan, an increase of 9.6%. After years of development, cross-border e-commerce, a new format, together with general trade and processing trade, constitutes three major trade modes in China and has become a new kinetic energy to stimulate foreign trade growth. While the scale of cross-border e-commerce has expanded, a number of new-generation cross-border e-commerce platforms have developed rapidly in overseas markets and become "Chinese forces" that cannot be ignored. Nowadays, these cross-border e-commerce platforms have been expanding their global market share and become a new choice for global consumers to shop.

Why did the Chinese e-commerce platform rise?

Among many cross-border e-commerce platforms, the TikTok Shop launched by SHEIN, Pinduoduo’s Temu, AliExpress and ByteDance’s TikTok is the most eye-catching, and is called "Four Little Dragons" by the industry.

According to the report released by the market analysis organization Data.ai at the beginning of the year, SHEIN won the global shopping APP download champion again in 2023. On this list, Temu and AliExpress ranked second and ninth. Amazon, the American e-commerce giant, ranked third.

Before 2020, the overseas cross-border e-commerce platform represented by Amazon will become the first choice for sellers in China with a large number of overseas users. But Amazon’s massive titles to China sellers changed the whole ecology. Since April, 2021, Amazon has continued to seal up the accounts of China sellers who violate the rules, and many head sellers have been closed and their funds frozen.

A seller who once opened a 3C store in Amazon told reporters that he violated Amazon’s relevant policies by guiding users to evaluate products, and the store was finally closed by Amazon.

Then he turned to Ali’s AliExpress, and the effect was good. Next, he plans to open a shop in Temu, hoping to return to the American market.

Although the large-scale titles of Amazon have improved the standardization of the whole industry, it has also made many China sellers realize that they can’t put all their eggs in one basket. They urgently need to find a new platform to share risks.

In 2022, Temu and TikTok Shop were established successively. SHEIN, which has been operating overseas for many years under its own brand, was officially opened to third-party sellers, attracting third-party sellers to join and rapidly expanding its scale. Together with Alibaba AliExpress, which has been operating in Europe and America for many years, the Chinese cross-border e-commerce platform entered the field of vision of China sellers.

"Four Little Dragons" have their own characteristics.

The "four little dragons" can rise rapidly, and each has its own "trick".

Temu, which was established in September, 2022, became a shining star in the cross-border e-commerce industry with its parent company, Pinduoduo, who has been deeply involved in the field of affordable e-commerce for many years, and with ultra-low-priced goods and generous advertising promotion.

"Cheap" is Temu’s trademark. According to a report from JPMorgan Chase, according to the statistics of randomly selected commodities, the average price advantage of Temu is less than 20% for high-priced/brand commodities with a price higher than $30, and the average price discount of Temu is more than 50% for commodities with a price lower than $10.

According to the data of the third-party organization Sensor Tower, from September 2022 to November 2023, the global download volume of Temu exceeded 300 million times. In 2023, Temu successively entered the markets of Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, and launched sites in Korea, Mexico, Chile, Israel and Malaysia.

"In terms of the global business of the Group, Temu has entered 50 countries and regions since it was launched in September 2022." At the fourth quarter performance exchange meeting in Pinduoduo in 2023, Chen Lei, Chairman and Co-CEO of Pinduoduo, revealed.

Another trump card of Temu is to take the lead in adopting the full custody mode for platform sellers, that is, the merchants are only responsible for loading the goods, and the platform is responsible for the whole process from product selection to performance to sales.

Ning Fujie, an analyst at Zheshang Securities, believes that the full custody mode basically solves the problems of gray production, empty packages and fake goods. For sellers, full custody is also a way with the lowest cost of measuring money and trial and error. Under the strict price comparison, horse racing and marketing mechanism, the purchase price of Temu is lower than that of major platforms.

Compared with the birth of Temu, the veteran e-commerce company SHEIN is telling more new stories.

Founded in 2012, SHEIN mainly sells women’s fast fashion related categories in overseas markets. In the domestic market, SHEIN has always been a very low-key presence. It was not until the epidemic period that overseas users accelerated online consumption, the frequent appearance of SHEIN on foreign APP download lists, and its repeated breakthroughs in valuation attracted domestic attention. At present, SHEIN has developed into a super unicorn enterprise with a valuation of more than 60 billion US dollars.

Yang Renwen, director of Guohai Securities Research Institute, believes that SHEIN’s rise in overseas markets lies in its "flexible supply chain+high-frequency innovation and cost performance+public and private domain marketing". SHEIN’s operation process is that the back-end data center quickly updates and tests products according to big data analysis, and the supplier adopts the mode of small order and quick reaction, and quickly responds according to the sales situation of goods, chasing orders for explosive products, or modifying and retesting non-explosive products, relying on this efficient iterative rhythm to maintain the output of explosive products. In addition, the company’s marketing method of combining public and private domains not only ensures the acquisition of new customers, but also promotes user activity and realizes the long-term growth of brand value.

Since 2023, SHEIN has continuously deepened its platformization strategy, faced the global market, invited more third-party sellers to settle in, and gradually formed a "self-operated brand+platform" dual-engine development model.

The relevant person in charge of SHEIN told the reporter that unlike the traditional e-commerce platform, SHEIN emphasized the deepening of the platform model, including agency operation and independent operation. Under the agent operation mode (similar to the full custody mode of Temu), SHEIN provides one-stop empowerment and services, including commodity operation, warehousing, logistics, customer service and after-sales. In the autonomous operation mode, sellers can operate independently, including self-management of product selection, shelving, marketing strategy, sales, inventory, logistics, etc. SHEIN proposed to support brand building by relying on platform resources and brand influence.

Shenzhen Cross-border E-commerce Association has analyzed the advantages of the "Four Little Dragons" and the traditional giant Amazon. The association believes that AliExpress is outstanding in logistics, market and user coverage; SHEIN is a fast fashion company. Its main advantages are a strong digital supply chain system and a large number of young users and brand loyalty accumulated in the early stage. TikTok Shop has TikTok’s global mass user base, which stimulates users to place orders through short videos to plant grass products and live broadcast and key opinion leaders (KOL). Temu, on the other hand, focuses on the low-cost strategy, and quickly accumulates a large number of users by social fission to seize the market.

Arel, executive president of Shenzhen Cross-border E-commerce Association, said in an interview with the Securities Times that after the success of Temu’s full hosting model, the most mainstream cross-border e-commerce platform in China has embraced the full hosting model. At present, this model is continuing to be promoted and practiced in the global mainstream e-commerce platforms, which is unstoppable, greatly expanding the influence of cross-border e-commerce products in China overseas.

According to the customs statistics of Shanghai Pudong International Airport, the number of export declarations of Pinduoduo, TikTok and SHEIN3 through Shanghai Airport Port in 2023 increased by more than 10 times year-on-year.

Behind the triumphant March

Controversy continues

The Chinese-funded cross-border e-commerce platform has made great strides overseas, but it has also attracted a lot of controversy.

Take Temu as an example. Many sellers complain about Temu’s full hosting model, mainly focusing on Temu’s price reduction. Many sellers in Pinduoduo told reporters that Temu has a strict price review mechanism. If the seller’s quotation on Temu is higher than the price of similar products of domestic wholesale e-commerce company 1688, the platform will let the seller re-quote, and the subsequent goods preparation process can only be carried out after the verification price is passed. Because of the strength of the platform, most enterprises can only choose "tolerance".

In addition, under the full hosting mode, the long logistics time also restricts the development of the platform.

Deng Wenhui, an analyst at Guolian Securities, believes that the price advantage of Temu in full custody mode is obvious compared with Amazon, but the logistics timeliness is poor. According to her sampling survey on the prices of various commodities on the two platforms of Temu and Amazon, the prices of commodities with less than $10 on Temu platform and similar commodities on Amazon platform are about 2-3 times that of Temu. However, in terms of delivery timeliness, according to the official disclosure of Temu, it takes about 8-12 days for free standard delivery and 5-9 days for fast delivery of fees. Because Amazon has a local warehouse to stock up in advance and a strong logistics system, the delivery time in the United States only takes about 2 ~ 3 days.

The rapid development of Chinese-funded cross-border e-commerce platforms has inevitably moved the "cakes" of many national local platforms.

Taking South Korea as an example, the development of both AliExpress and Temu in the Korean market has shown a strong growth trend this year. As of March, the users of the two platforms in Korea were 8.88 million and 8.3 million respectively, second only to the Korean e-commerce giant Coupang. However, according to Yonhap News Agency, relevant Korean institutions are investigating the collection and use of personal information on cross-border e-commerce platforms in China. Previously, AliExpress had been inspected by KFTC, the Korean antitrust regulator, because of the increase in consumer complaints in Korea. There are indications that the South Korean government is stepping up its supervision of cross-border e-commerce platforms, which can be regarded as a protective measure for domestic enterprises to some extent.

Arel suggested that in 2024, cross-border e-commerce sellers should pay more attention to and invest in new global markets such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Russia, Africa and Latin America. Compared with the European and American markets with many sellers and fierce competition, emerging markets with rapid growth and great potential in 2024 will bring new performance growth points to cross-border sellers. In addition, with the sharp increase in compliance costs in Europe, Brazil, Southeast Asia and other markets, compliance in 2024 will be the primary issue that cross-border sellers must pay attention to.

After watching "City Lights", talk about those villains who hate and suck powder.

"Lovely and charming villain" — — Huston Rockets


Special feature of 1905 film network "In order to prevent the world from being destroyed, to protect the peace of the world, to carry out the evil of love and truth, a lovely and charming villain … …” I believe that many friends like me who are in Grade 2 are familiar with the classic and magical lines in this cartoon Poké mon. It’s not easy to really be a charming villain.It can make people (within the correct scope of the three views) gnash their teeth and feel pity, which is indispensable and impressive, and can be described as the highest realm.


 Heath Ledger’s "Clown" Image


There are very few "top-level" villains who can meet the above conditions one by one, butJoker, the clown played by Heath Ledger in the film, is undoubtedly one of them..In the years since Nolan’s Batman series was deified, both the character’s own creativity and Heath Ledger’s personal performance have been analyzed in detail countless times, and it is unnecessary to repeat them: everyone is afraid of clowns, and the endless and unreasonable crimes he brings are disgusting and chilling, but his extremely tragic life makes people willing to understand his desperate resistance to fate.

Villain Jiangya

 

At present, the villain Jiangya is a bit of a clown, but he seems to be more like a combination of a clown and Batman:Pretending to be "the light of the city", because "the city needs a beam of light", he completed the "dark trial" of the evildoers in the city in his own way (murder full of ritual sense), but he also had no scruples about involving innocent people in his own murder plan.

 

A mysterious, cautious, evil and full of "sense of justice" contradiction, which is exactly what Remy, the original author of "Psychological Crime" series, wants to describe as a "different and charming" villain in the final chapter of the first season. As a person standing on the opposite side of "justice", the stories, emotions and conflicts that the villain needs to bear and express are more complicated and intense."A good villain should have a complete set of values that belong to him. This value may be absurd, but it must be convincing and may even confuse people."Remy understands the creation of villains like this.

 

Jiangya villain image is very complicated.

From the plot of "City Light of Psychological Crime", we can see the shadow of childhood domestic violence hidden in Jiangya’s heart. This victim’s identity is not only the basis of his opponent’s worship (even distorted worship), but also gives the most reasonable motivation for his birth and action after "City Light".The real world is never simply black and white. The more three-dimensional the complexity of human nature is, the more it can touch people’s hearts."Jiang Ya incarnated’ justice’ in the middle of the night. This kind of revenge (at the first time) will make people feel very Japanese, but how should we choose when we really face the law? Such a role may arouse the audience’s relatively complicated feelings towards him. " Remy said. In other words,I’m afraid this kind of complexity is our own struggle between the correctness of the three views and the deep sympathy.


Batman confronts the clown

 

The clown and Jiang Ya also introduce another important attribute of the "charming" villain — —Only above the successful villain can we see better heroes.The clown throws a dilemma multiple-choice question, which makes Batman finally understand where the just soul is after experiencing confusion and pain. The same is true of Jiangya, who uses a series of murders to stir up the high emotions of the people and also test the bottom line of the protagonist. It was the murder of an innocent little girl that made Fang Mu determined to fight to the death with the "city light" in extreme resentment and collapse.

Andrew scott plays Professor moriarty in Sherlock.

 

Tracing back to the classics, Professor moglia in the detective novel adventures of sherlock holmes can also be called such a figure. Since the publication of the original work in the 19th century, it has been adapted into numerous versions by film and television. In the most popular BBC English drama version in recent years, actor andrew scott once again gave this deadly enemy a brand-new look with a version of moriarty, which is as crazy and magical as a clown.

 

Of course, in addition to these villains who need to build on the plot to display their "charming" charm, there is also a class of villains who are relatively simple and rude. They can easily circle the powder by eating people and setting bonuses.Ill-tempered, self-willed, anyway, stories and characters give infinite space, as long as you boldly release yourself, there will be a large number of fans willing to fall for it.


Tom Hiddleston plays the evil god Loki 3.

 

The absolute leader of this kind of villains is Loki, the evil god in the series of Raytheon by MCU. When it comes to doing bad things, he can disturb the order of the universe, destroy the heaven, piss off Dad and brush his brother around. Although it’s not bad to the bone, it’s still an absolute TOP in the jerk index. As for PK’s popularity, Loki is not lost to many characters in the same universe.

 

The charm of villains like them stems from this fearless madness in their hearts.Compared with all the positive characters who have to think twice about justice and the overall situation, people like Loki can be more reckless and go their own way about their persistent things, not only for the audience who saw the movie, but also for the performers, which should be a more enjoyable experience.


Many actors have expressed their desire to challenge the villain.

 

After writing this article, I specially searched the search engine for the keywords "Want to challenge the villain role". Among more than 150,000 related results, a series of familiar actors’ names appeared, such as Lu Han, Haoran Liu, Karry, Liu Shishi, Han Geng, Jiang Jinfu, etc. They all expressed their interest in this kind of role at a certain moment. It seems that there are really many people who have been circled by the villain. On the premise that the three views are correct, we really expect to see more and more classic villains in the future and become another kind of "light" in film and television works.

HarmonyOS system welcomes the "decisive moment" as a "key battle"

  The scenery ahead is infinite, and the footsteps are powerful. Standing in 2024, the construction of Huawei’s HarmonyOS operating system ushered in a "decisive moment". A few days ago, china securities journal reporter found that despite the enormous challenges and uncertainties, HarmonyOS’s success already has multiple favorable factors, and once it crosses the critical point, HarmonyOS will realize Huawei’s historic leap in the operating system field.

  According to Huawei’s plan, in the fourth quarter of this year, Huawei will launch the HarmonyOS Xinghe version of the operating system, which is no longer compatible with Android. This means that HarmonyOS’s operating system will bid farewell to the early compatibility strategy and go on its own, so netizens call it "pure blood HarmonyOS". "Pure blood HarmonyOS" means that the system only supports native Applications, that is, the app needs to be rewritten, otherwise it cannot be used. Huawei’s goal this year is to have 5,000 apps supporting Pure Blood HarmonyOS, and its future goal is to have 500,000 native apps for Pure Blood HarmonyOS. Apple’s iOS and Android App are both on the order of 2 million native applications, and there is a huge gap in front of HarmonyOS.

  Xu Zhijun, vice chairman and rotating chairman of Huawei, recently shouted at the 2024 Huawei Analyst Conference, hoping that all developers in the country would join HarmonyOS’s native application ecology as soon as possible. "Huawei has managed 5,000 applications and another 1 million applications, hoping that the whole society will develop them together."

  Ren Zhengfei, president of Huawei, once said, "Let those who can hear the sound of guns call for gunfire". Now, HarmonyOS is facing a "decisive moment", and Huawei’s call is urgent. Can the market hear it? How do companies react? How is the development of native applications going? What is HarmonyOS’s odds in the future?

  "Give enough money to people" to rebuild infrastructure

  Operating system is called the soul of computer system, and there are only a few successful cases in the market, such as Windows, Apple and Android. Operating system technology is not difficult, difficult in ecology, and difficult to be accepted by the market.

  The good news is that china securities journal reporters have learned from many interviews and investigations that based on the future prospects of HarmonyOS’s industry, Alipay, Taobao, Meituan, JD.COM, Nail, Gaode, Xiaohongshu and other head App application manufacturers have started the development of HarmonyOS native applications at the first time. Many manufacturers "give enough money to people" and work overtime to invest in development.

  Meituan is the first Internet giant to join HarmonyOS’s native application ecology. Wang Zhiyu, executive director of HarmonyOS Xinghe Edition Meituan App Development Project, told china securities journal that in September 2023, Huawei and Meituan discussed the development of native applications in HarmonyOS, and in November 2023, the two parties signed a contract. According to the delivery schedule, internal testing will begin in March 2024 and public testing will be conducted in June.

  Wang Zhiyu said: "The HarmonyOS Xinghe version of Meituan App was developed from scratch. Meituan urgently deployed R&D personnel in various business groups to invest in project development in November last year. We started from the research and development of the underlying infrastructure, and everyone learned while working, and the construction period was very tight."

  It is understood that Meituan completed the core function development of HarmonyOS Xinghe Meituan App in six weeks, and ordered the first HarmonyOS Xinghe Meituan App takeaway. The first HarmonyOS Xinghe version of Meituan App covers food, hotel, medicine, take-away, flash purchase, optimization, grocery shopping and other businesses, and is currently being tested. "When users order take-out in HarmonyOS Xinghe version of Meituan App in the future, they can check the progress and details of Meituan take-out orders in time through the live window, and see the key dynamics of take-out at a glance." Wang Zhiyu said.

  At the end of March this year, Yangguang. com was the first in the industry to complete the full version development of native applications in HarmonyOS. All the functional modules of Yangguang. com App on Apple’s iOS and Android, and HarmonyOS Xinghe Edition have achieved full coverage. Gong Xiaoou, the head of client development of Yangguang. com Technology Center, told china securities journal that in August 2023, Yangguang. com invested 20 staff members to start the development of native applications in HarmonyOS, which took nearly seven months. At the end of March this year, it was launched internally to test the HarmonyOS Xinghe version of Yangguang. com App. HarmonyOS Xinghe Edition Yangguang. com App has also completed the adaptation on terminal devices such as folding screen mobile phones and tablets.

  Gong Xiaoou said, "Pure Blood HarmonyOS" is a brand-new ecology, and it has just started. As the national team of Internet news dissemination and an important new media platform of China Central Radio and Television Station, the earlier it joins HarmonyOS’s native application ecology, the more it can seize the opportunity, be downloaded and paid attention to by more users, and provide rich information services for more users.

  According to Huawei, more and more partners have made breakthrough innovations. Bilibili, Xiaohongshu, Iqiyi, Himalaya, WPS Office, China Merchants Bank, Postal Savings Bank and other head applications have completed the development of the test version of HarmonyOS Xinghe App, and the products are being continuously polished.

  WPS Office is a very basic application office software under Jinshan Office, which has a wide user base. By the end of 2023, the number of monthly active devices of WPS Office mobile version reached 330 million. Yao Dong, vice president of Jinshan Office, told china securities journal: "WPS Office is the first partner to join the native application development in HarmonyOS. We attach great importance to this cooperation and quickly set up a development team of hundreds of people. At the same time, Huawei also has resident R&D personnel to jointly develop, adjust and optimize HarmonyOS Xinghe WPS Office. "

  By other’s faults, wise men correct their own. China securities journal reporter learned from the investigation that the addition of the third-party platform will get twice the result with half the effort for the growth of the native application ecology in HarmonyOS. In November, 2023, mPaaS, a mobile development platform of Ant Digital Branch, signed a cooperation contract with Huawei in HarmonyOS. MPaaS serves hundreds of large and medium-sized customers and thousands of small and medium-sized customers in China, including financial customers such as large state-owned banks, joint-stock banks and Toucheng Rural Commercial Bank.

  Qi Xiaolong, general manager of mobile technology products of Ant Digital, said: "The mPaaS platform of Ant Digital has more than 2,000 partners. Based on our platform, Android App and Apple iOS App have been developed. Our cooperation with Huawei will not only help us to provide a more compatible version, improve the development efficiency of old customers, but also accelerate the promotion of native applications in HarmonyOS. "

  According to Qi Xiaolong, mPaaS, an ant math department, participated in some code and architecture design in HarmonyOS. On April 16th, it launched the HarmonyOS native application beta capability set, which can ensure customers to give full play to the performance of HarmonyOS and reduce the difficulty of accessing HarmonyOS Xinghe Edition. At present, about 30 institutions have entered the testing stage.

  According to the reporter’s understanding, Alibaba Cloud audio and video terminal SDK (software package), Gaode map SDK, Weibo login sharing SDK and other third-party SDKs have adapted to HarmonyOS Galaxy Edition, which will further reduce the development workload of partners and drive more partners to accelerate the development process of native applications in HarmonyOS.

  According to Huawei, at present, HarmonyOS’s native application ecology has achieved perfect vertical industry coverage, including convenient life, travel, financial management, social information, productivity tools, government and people’s livelihood, news media, audio-visual entertainment, games and other fields, and head applications are scrambling to accelerate the development of native applications in HarmonyOS, continuously injecting new blood into HarmonyOS’s native application ecology.

  According to industry insiders, the favorite thing about the operating system is that everyone comes to use it. The more users, the better, and the more applications, the better, which is convenient for the operating system to continuously find problems and iterate; What I fear most is that the market ignores it, and the result of indifference is death, which is the home of most operating systems. HarmonyOS system has attracted the attention of many manufacturers, who are willing to invest real money to develop native applications, which is the greatest support and affirmation for HarmonyOS.

  "Internet of Everything" is the biggest advantage

  Huawei released Harmony OS (HarmonyOS system) in 2019, which was first applied to Huawei’s smart screen, and began to be applied to Huawei’s mobile phone field in 2021. Counterpoint data show that in the first quarter of 2022, HarmonyOS’s share in the domestic mobile phone market was only 3%, and it increased to 8% in the fourth quarter of 2022 and 16% in the fourth quarter of 2023, showing a steady upward trend. HarmonyOS’s share in the global market reached 4% in the fourth quarter of 2023, making it the third largest mobile operating system in the world after Android and Apple’s iOS.

  In September 2023, Huawei announced the full launch of HarmonyOS native applications; In January 2024, Huawei said that HarmonyOS Xinghe Edition will be released in the fourth quarter of 2024. The insiders believe that mobile phones are the most important terminal products of Huawei. With the return of Huawei mobile phones to the market, the confidence of consumers and developers in Huawei has been restored. It is timely for Huawei to launch HarmonyOS native applications. Although HarmonyOS’s native application has just started, its three advantages have great appeal to developers.

  First, Huawei has a large number of terminal equipment. At present, with the return of Huawei’s mobile phone king, products such as tablet, PC, smart screen and smart car are continuously introduced, which will increase the installed capacity of HarmonyOS system. A native Application developer in HarmonyOS bluntly said that Huawei has a huge number of end users, which is the key reason to attract various manufacturers to develop HarmonyOS Xinghe version of the app. "Alipay sees a large number of users of Huawei mobile phones, and definitely hopes that users can use Alipay App on Huawei mobile phones." An insider said frankly.

  The data shows that there are more than 800 million ecological devices in HarmonyOS, including more than 300 million owned by Huawei. Wang Zhiyu said: "Huawei is an important user channel for Meituan, which is an important consideration for Meituan to join HarmonyOS’s native application ecology."

  Secondly, technically, HarmonyOS has the advantages of seamless collaborative experience across terminals and multi-terminal deployment at one time. Liu Shuangfeng, chief analyst of CITIC Jiantou Securities and Electronics Industry, believes that Google’s Android system is dominant with its open source characteristics and rich application ecology. Apple’s iOS system has won the favor of a large number of users with its closed ecosystem and excellent user experience. Huawei’s HarmonyOS system takes a different approach, focusing on distributed capabilities. According to the reporter’s understanding, HarmonyOS not only allows users to switch freely between mobile phones, tablets, computers and other devices through distributed technology, but also realizes resource sharing among multiple devices, making it more convenient for users to use.

  In addition, Zhu Yonggang, president of Huawei Terminal Cloud, said: "The important characteristics of HarmonyOS’s one-time development of multi-terminal deployment enable applications to realize continuous access to services in the fields of tablets, PCs, smart screens, televisions, watches, smart cars, etc., and at the same time reduce the cost of developers. With only one development, new opportunities for commercial returns can be generated on various devices."

  Many native application developers in HarmonyOS bluntly told china securities journal that although they encountered some technical problems during the development of HarmonyOS Xinghe App, they were able to communicate directly and smoothly with Huawei team, which reduced the communication cost. "We put forward some demands to Huawei, and the Huawei team can respond quickly, which is unmatched by Android and Apple iOS." A developer said.

  Third, HarmonyOS has huge industrial space. Huawei put forward the strategy of "1+8+N" (1 stands for mobile phone, 8 stands for tablet computer, PC, VR device, wearable device, smart screen, smart audio, smart speaker, car, and N stands for pan-IoT device). HarmonyOS is not just a mobile phone operating system, but an operating system for the Internet of Everything era. According to Haitong Securities Research Report, compared with Android and Apple iOS, HarmonyOS has a large market share in a variety of terminal products, and has a huge market space in the future.

  Liu Kai, an analyst at Everbright Securities, believes that after half a century’s development, the application software and hardware devices have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the development of the operating system has gone through two complete eras. The first era is the computer era dominated by Windows and Mac OS, and the second era is the smartphone era marked by Android and Apple iOS. With the continuous evolution of technology and the constant change of equipment form, the number of devices connected by the Internet of Things has exceeded 10 billion units, and it has quietly become the most important part of networked equipment terminals, and the era of the Internet of Things has arrived. HarmonyOS, which is oriented to the next generation operating system, is expected to become the leader of the Internet of Things operating system.

  On January 18th, at the sailing ceremony of HarmonyOS Eco-Qian Fan, Yu Chengdong, managing director of Huawei, CEO of terminal business and chairman of BU, a smart car solution, said that HarmonyOS would open a new blue ocean with a trillion yuan industry. Qi Xiaolong told china securities journal that unlike other OSs, HarmonyOS has a large number of IoT terminal devices, and HarmonyOS has huge industrial space, which is the reason for attracting the mPaaS platform of ant science to join the native application ecology of HarmonyOS. "As a third-party development platform for multi-terminals, we look forward to building an ecosystem with partners such as Huawei and Runhe Software to achieve mutual benefit and win-win."

  The horizon dawned.

  It has always been the wish of China people to have their own operating system. But it is not easy to realize this long-cherished wish. This depends on people’s efforts, but also on the progress of the times. Every generation of operating systems can win, which is to seize the cusp of the times. In the Internet of Things era, there should be a new operating system.

  TechInsights, a research institute, predicts that Android and Apple’s iOS will continue to play a dominant role in the world, and from 2024, HarmonyOS will become the second largest smartphone operating system in China.

  "Building HarmonyOS’s native application ecology is the most critical thing for Huawei in 2024." On April 17th, Xu Zhijun said that in the past, HarmonyOS’s operating system mostly adapted to various terminal devices in the south, but it still shared the application ecology of Android in the north. Huawei hopes that in 2024, 5,000 applications commonly used on smart phones (the usage time accounts for 99% of the total user usage time) will be fully migrated to the native operating system in HarmonyOS, and the operating system and application ecology will be truly unified.

  For HarmonyOS system, the dawn of the horizon appears at first sight. In April 2021, Yang Haisong, then vice president of Huawei’s consumer business AI and full-scenario business department, said in an interview that for an ecology, especially for the underlying platform such as operating system, software usage and market share are the core factors for its survival and success, and 16% market share is a life-and-death line. Yang Lin, an analyst at Haitong Securities, believes that there are more than 800 million ecological devices in HarmonyOS at present. From this calculation, HarmonyOS’s global market share has reached 13.11%, which is very close to the life-and-death line of 16%.

  The reporter learned from the investigation that Huawei’s technical support for developers is indispensable because HarmonyOS is a brand-new operating system. On March 15th, Zhu Yonggang said that Huawei will assist enterprises and institutions to develop more than 5,000 native applications in HarmonyOS by the end of 2024, and finally realize the development of more than 500,000 native applications in HarmonyOS. On April 7, Huawei said that from January 18 this year, Huawei announced that the first batch of more than 200 application vendors were accelerating the development of native applications in HarmonyOS, and by the end of March, more than 4,000 applications had joined the native application ecology in HarmonyOS, with a growth rate of about 20 times in just two months.

  Zhu Yong just said bluntly that it is impossible to build a native application ecology in HarmonyOS only by relying on the strength of Huawei. The HarmonyOS adaptation of mPaaS, a branch of ant mathematics, means that it will effectively accelerate the "HarmonyOS" of thousands of apps from point to area, and become one of the boosters for the development and growth of native applications in HarmonyOS.

  Although HarmonyOS’s native applied ecology is developing like a bamboo, it has to face some challenges.

  First of all, after the technological breakthrough, there is a big gap in the number of ecological applications in HarmonyOS, and it still needs to catch up. As early as May 2019, when Ren Zhengfei talked about the operating system in an interview with the media, he said frankly: "The operating system is not difficult technically, but the difficulty is ecology."

  According to public information, in the global market, Apple launched the Apple App Store in 2008, and currently there are nearly 2 million apps in the App Store; The Android ecosystem has 2.8 million apps. In contrast, HarmonyOS’s native application ecology has just started, and there is a huge gap. It is urgent to accelerate the development of native applications in HarmonyOS.

  Secondly, some manufacturers are on the sidelines. An engineer from a big Internet company told china securities journal that many manufacturers are watching Huawei. For example, some big companies are just adding some applications to the native application ecology in HarmonyOS. Xu Zhijun called on all application developers and application owners in China to join HarmonyOS’s native application ecology as soon as possible. In this way, when HarmonyOS Xinghe Edition is really used, it can bring good experience to consumers.

  At present, Tencent’s WeChat has not announced its participation in HarmonyOS’s native application ecology. By the end of 2023, the combined monthly active users of WeChat and WeChat were 1.343 billion. A native application developer in HarmonyOS bluntly told the china securities journal reporter: "WeChat has a large number of users. In fact, everyone is most concerned about when it will join the native application ecology in HarmonyOS."

  It is reported that Huawei and Tencent are talking about the collapse, but according to a person familiar with the matter, it is false news that the two sides are talking about the collapse.

  Many native application developers in HarmonyOS admitted to china securities journal that the native application ecology in HarmonyOS is developing with each passing day. The sooner you join the native application ecology in HarmonyOS, the higher the attention you may get and the greater the traffic. However, for applications such as WeChat, we can’t generalize, and both parties may involve commercial interests and other factors. HarmonyOS’s native application ecology should be enlarged, and developers should also share the industrial cake.

  In order to promote the native application ecology in HarmonyOS, Huawei has launched the "Yaoxing Plan" of 7 billion yuan, which continuously encourages ecological innovations such as native applications, meta-services and SDK in HarmonyOS. Xu Zhijun said: "When we migrated these 5,000 applications and thousands of other applications to the HarmonyOS operating system, the HarmonyOS operating system was completed and truly became the third largest mobile operating system in the world besides Apple iOS and Google Android."

Traffic police in many places in Sichuan try Moments "collect praise and punish" netizens like humanization

  "I parked indiscriminately in the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, violating traffic laws, and was seized by the traffic police. Now I have a deep understanding of my mistake, please give me a like…" "I was driving a battery car that did not follow the non-motorized road, and was seized by the traffic police at the intersection of Banana Forest on Checheng Avenue… The traffic police asked to collect all 10 likes, please support my initiative"…

  On April 25, on the road section of Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, taxis parked illegally, and the driver collected praise for 20 and then got back the suspended driver’s license. On April 26, on the road section of Ziyang City, battery cars did not drive according to non-motor vehicle lanes, and cyclists collected praise for 10, experienced duty and accepted fines and were released. On April 16, on the road section of Dazhou City, battery cars were driving in reverse, and cyclists collected praise for 20 and were released.

  Over the past few days, traffic police in many places in Sichuan have taken the "WeChat Moments Collection" approach to deal with some traffic violations of motor vehicles and battery cars. This move has attracted widespread attention in the society. Many people praise this fresh approach, praising it for being "humane" and "advancing with the times". However, some citizens and netizens believe that more attention should be paid to whether there is a legal basis for "collecting praise and punishing".

  case

  Leshan: Taxi illegally parked and waiting for passenger drivers to collect praise for 20 fines

  On April 25, Du Moumou, a taxi driver in Leshan, parked illegally outside the east gate of the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area to wait for passengers. "There are a lot of tourists. Although I know I can’t stop, in order to receive business, I still took a chance and parked the car on the side of the road, waiting for the guests to come out." Du told the cover news reporter of the West China Metropolis Daily that he saw the traffic police walking over not long after stopping. "I thought to myself, this time I will be fined and fined, which is really not worth the loss."

  After the police on duty came over, they first informed Du that parking was prohibited on Lingyun Road in Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, and a conspicuous ban sign was specially set up next to the road. According to relevant regulations, drivers who violate the ban sign will be fined 100 yuan and get 3 points on their driver’s license. Subsequently, the police temporarily detained a copy of their driver’s license. But to Du’s surprise, after the police informed him, they said that they could share their illegal behavior with WeChat Moments as required, and the driver’s license could be returned after collecting 20 likes.

  "I parked indiscriminately in the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, violating traffic laws, and was caught by the traffic police. Now I have a deep understanding of my mistake, please give me a like. Please follow the traffic rules in the future." Under the guidance of the police, Du posted the illegal act to his Moments and distributed pictures of his illegal scene. Then, Du drove away with suspicion.

  After running for a while, although he was ridiculed by his friends in the circle of friends, he still collected enough likes for 20. Then, Du drove back to Lingyun Road again, and the police gave him a copy of his driver’s license without a fine or points. But the police saved a screenshot of the Moments article, saying that if he committed another offense next time, he would be severely punished.

  The relevant person in charge of the traffic police brigade of the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area said that there are many tourists in the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area, and the traffic flow on Lingyun Road has always been very large. Parking vehicles at will can easily cause congestion. In order to better manage traffic and publicize traffic laws and regulations more widely, the brigade learned from the practices of other cities in China and piloted this new treatment and education method for motor vehicles parked indiscriminately, parked and dropped passengers illegally, etc., starting from April 21.

  Ziyang: Electric carThere are a lot of fines for not driving by the lane

  "Dad, have you had enough likes? I’m going to be late for class." At about 8 am on April 26, at the intersection of Banaolin on Checheng Avenue in Ziyang City, a little boy around 8 years old followed his father’s butt with an anxious look. However, his father was wearing a "yellow vest" and had to go to the intersection to experience the traffic police on duty, collect 10 likes on WeChat Moments, and accept a fine of 20 yuan in order to retrieve the battery car and continue to send his son to school.

  And this is only because the little boy’s father, Mr. Yang, did not follow the prescribed lane on the way to send his son to school. When passing through the intersection of Bajiaolin on Checheng Avenue, he was stopped by the traffic police when he was about to turn right from the right motor vehicle lane. It is in this round of multi-department centralized rectification of non-motor vehicle violations that Ziyang traffic police have adopted the most popular "WeChat collection and praise" method.

  However, unlike the general "collection of praise on behalf of punishment", when the traffic police seize non-motor vehicle violations, the parties can choose to experience the traffic police on duty for half an hour and accept the corresponding fine, or they can choose to send Moments to collect praise, experience the traffic police on duty during the collection of praise, and then accept the corresponding fine. Considering that his son is rushing to school, WeChat collection praise can shorten the time, Mr. Yang decisively sent Moments.

  "I was driving a battery car that did not follow the non-motorized lane, and was seized by the traffic police at the intersection of Bajiaolin on Checheng Avenue… The traffic police asked to collect 10 likes, please support my initiative…" After more than 10 minutes, Mr. Yang collected 10 likes, quickly took off his "yellow vest", and accepted a fine of 20 yuan, and rushed to school with his son.

  On the same day, Ziyang traffic police set up a total of six rectification and education points in the urban area to strictly investigate non-motor vehicles driving in reverse, running red lights and other illegal acts. At the intersection of Bajiaolin on Checheng Avenue alone, within an hour, the traffic police stopped 35 non-motor vehicles driving illegally. Most people chose Moments to collect praise. A woman posted Moments and no one liked it, so she had to call a friend to "tie it up".

  What if you don’t want to collect likes?

  Voluntary choice of punishment

  In addition to the traffic police in Leshan and Ziyang, the traffic police in Dazhou used the method of "WeChat Moments Collection of Likes" as early as April 16 to deal with the illegal drivers of battery cars. The parties exposed their illegal behavior in the circle of friends, and they could be released after collecting 20 likes. In just three days, more than 10 people chose "Collection of Likes on behalf of Punishment".

  Outside of Sichuan, in Handan, Hebei, Jiangyin, Jiangsu and other places, traffic police departments have faced similar penalties for minor traffic violations, which has aroused widespread attention and discussion across the country. "If Moments self-exposes, how can you have the face to meet people in the future?" Among them, some netizens asked, what if the driver is unwilling to self-expose in Moments because of face, or does not want to expose privacy?

  In response, a brigade directly under the traffic police of Dazhou City responded that this kind of gathering praise method is only for the first minor violation of pedestrians and non-motor vehicles, and the parties involved in the violation are deeply aware of their mistakes. At the same time, in addition to choosing the "gathering praise on behalf of punishment" method, offenders can also voluntarily choose other methods such as fines. The relevant person in charge of the traffic police brigade of the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area also said that "the method is not single."

  What is the specific effect?

  All the praise collectors said "very profound"

  Du Moumou, a Leshan taxi driver who chose Moments, said the "Moments Collection Like" format was very humane and made him feel "very profound." At the same time, many colleagues in the circle of friends also took screenshots and forwarded the message. "Not only is it a lesson for myself, but it also reminds my colleagues not to park indiscriminately."

  In Ziyang on April 26, while waiting for the collection of praise, Mr. Yang kept apologizing to his son and told the traffic police that he realized his mistake. "My father should not take the motor vehicle lane, and he will be supervised to abide by the rules in the future." Not only that, in this "profound lesson", Mr. Yang’s son also deeply understood. According to the police on duty, many people said after the Moments collection that day that they were "too shameless, and they will never [violate the law] again."

  "Through this form, education and learning can achieve results." The relevant person in charge of the Ziyang City Traffic Police Detachment said that exposing oneself through Moments can also play a role in educating relatives and friends around you, further amplifying the effect of law enforcement. The relevant person in charge of the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area Traffic Police Brigade also said that using WeChat Moments to carry out legal publicity and education can be very good, so that more people can abide by traffic laws.

  dissent

  Can Jizan be punished?

  Can’t just look at the effect is more important than the law?

  In the heated discussion between citizens and netizens, in addition to many applause voices, some people also hold different views. "The form and standard of punishment for illegal acts are statutory." Netizen "Kwai Kui" questioned, what right does the traffic police have to create their own form of punishment? Netizen "Still Water Flow Deep" also believes that from the perspective of strict "administration according to law", "no authorization without law" is a basic criterion, and any punishment set outside the law is suspected of "no basis for law", even if the original intention is good and the effect is good, it is debatable.

  According to relevant laws and regulations, if a motor vehicle violates the prohibition sign, the driver’s license will be charged with 3 points and a fine of 20 to 200 yuan, generally a fine of 100 yuan; if a non-motor vehicle is driving in the opposite direction, a fine of 20 yuan; if a non-motor vehicle does not pass in accordance with the traffic light regulations, a fine of 20 yuan will be imposed; if a non-motor vehicle fails to drive in a non-motor vehicle lane, a fine of 50 yuan will be imposed; if there is a crosswalk, a non-motor vehicle does not cross the motor vehicle lane from the crosswalk, a fine of 10 yuan will be imposed.

  Based on the above specific regulations, Ziyang traffic police not only required "collection of praise", but also punished the illegal parties with experience on duty and fines. The relevant person in charge of the Leshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area Traffic Police Brigade who implemented "collection of praise on behalf of punishment" said that in the process of handling traffic violations, for minor violations, publicity and education can be the main way to deal with them. The "collection of praise on behalf of punishment" method is also one of the manifestations of the education method. "Punishment is not the goal, and ensuring everyone’s safe travel is the ultimate goal. This is the true meaning of this work."
