Exclusive dialogue with the four knights of the apocalypse in "The Thieves 2"

The Thieves 2 poster


1905 movie network feature The good news is that the new movie "The Thieves 2" by your Jay Chou, Curly Hair, Potter and the Hulk has been released in North America earlier this month.

 

The bad news is that you won’t be able to see it in China until June 24th.

 

Another piece of good news, the 1905 movie network has poked a bunch of exclusive behind-the-scenes information for you to see how your family is going to play tricks this time.

 

After watching "Amazing Magic Troupe 2", we can say responsibly that director Zhu Haowei has definitely graced the Chinese face. The sequel is better looking and more brain-burning than the first one, lying to you that you are a puppy.


Director Zhu Haowei


In the first, the beloved Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse use magic and illusions to rob the rich and help the poor, and play the FBI like a monkey to become a popular hero. The sequel follows this story and traces the family feud between FBI detective Dylan ("Hulk" Mark Ruffalo) and the "villain" Thaddeus (Morgan Freeman) in the previous episode. The Four Horsemen, who are hunted by the FBI and incognito, take on a new job to expose a tech president’s global new product launch and plan to use this opportunity to see the light of day again.

 

As a result, the action is accidentally disrupted by a more powerful master. Dylan and the Four Horsemen inexplicably come to Macau, meet the mastermind Walter (played by Daniel Radcliffe), and are immediately sent to steal a powerful chip. This action is a matter of life and death for the Four Horsemen, so the plot in Macau and London is very tense, and the characters are also very strange. Did the Hulk and Curly Hair fight? Potter came to persuade him to fight?

 

 

I can only say so much, and there will be spoilers.


Who are the three good students of the magic school?

 

Ella Fischer, the female magician in the first installment, was unable to participate in the filming of the sequel because she was pregnant. The new female member of the Four Horsemen is Liz Capan, the heroine of the American TV series "Masters of Sex".

 

 

This magical girl has a strong taste and belongs to the "Geek Magician", which is the kind of magician who often uses bloody scenes to create magic effects. She cut off her head and hands at the beginning of the scene, and later cut off the head of the white dove, which made the black cat sheriff very sad.

 

1905: How did you land this role?

Liz Capan: I managed to fertilize Ira Fischer and get pregnant, so I managed to kick her out. (Laughter) Hopefully by the time I do the third film, I won’t be pregnant. (Laughter) The fact is, the director David Chu really liked my performance of "Party Crazy," and he came to me and asked if I wanted to do it. It was a dream come true for me, because my selfish desire was to spend a few months with my boyfriend while filming in London.


Liz Capan

 

1905: How did you practice these magic tricks?

Liz Capan: We crammed into a crash course in magic. The so-called magic classroom is actually a conference room. We had classes every day for two weeks before shooting. As you all know, no one can become very skilled at magic in a short time, so our task was to learn "pretend to know magic", such as how my body should bend so that I don’t wear it on camera when my head falls off. The only trick I learned was to let pigeons sleep in my sleeve, which should be practical.

 

1905: Can you tell us the secret of this "trick"?

Liz Capan: Well, you just put the cubes in warm clothing and they fall asleep… and then, if they wake up, you go up and punch them, and the pigeons fall asleep again.

 

1905: You have a scene where you untie your underwear in the air. Please tell me about the filming process.

Liz Capan: In that scene, it was based on the camera position, and it looked like from an angle. I didn’t do it, and the bra buckle came loose. I can now take off the bras of all the women in the room without you noticing. To be honest, even if you don’t know magic, a woman can take off her little underwear in any situation without taking off her clothes. (mischievous laugh)


 

1905: So, what did this magic school teach you?

Liz Capan: Actually, card magic is still the focus of this movie. Dave Franco is very good. After two movies, he really understands card magic. It is the pride of our magic teacher. When other people learn cards, they just throw them around and make the classroom floor full of cards.

 

Jessie Eisenberg: Dave is definitely talented. His fingers are especially dexterous. After a few practice sessions, he will know, unlike us unqualified people.


 

That’s right, cards are indeed a big part of the movie. This card, the four of them threw it for a full ten minutes.

 

 

Dave, who was praised by Liz, also had a romantic scene this time, and the first couple of the Four Horsemen was officially born. Lula, played by Liz Capan, and Jack Sparks, played by Dave Franco, also played mischievously stealing wallets and undoing belts.

 

 

1905: Liz and Jesse both say you’re a card god, right?

Dave Franco: Call me "God", which is too flattering, but I like it~ (laughs) We did think about doing a magic show with four people to promote the movie, but after testing, none of us were at the level of professional card magicians. The skills are terrible, and no one will buy a ticket to see it.

 

1905: In the sequel, your character will also learn hypnotism. Do you believe that people can really be hypnotized?

Dave Franco: I did learn a few tricks from the master hypnotist Keith Berry, and I thought it was too difficult. It requires the hypnotist to have excellent control over his voice, pitch and speed, which are the basic elements of being hypnotized, and I don’t think I can do it in my life. But I do believe that some people can be hypnotized, and I’m a very alert person myself, so hypnosis is not very useful for me.

 

1905: Magic is a technique of deceiving the eye, so to speak. Have you ever been deceived severely?

Dave Franco: Movies are a deceptive trick, haha. Every time I take on a project, I feel confident that I know exactly where the story is going and how the visuals are presented, but every time I see the finished film, I’m stunned. Every time is completely different from what I imagined, so I’ve learned a lot over the years. Some projects can be taken, and some projects are more risky. A movie as interesting as "The Sorcerers", even if it makes 57, I will continue to play it.

 

One night in Macau, who wins and who loses?

 

Marc Ruffalo’s Macao Street Fighter was filmed in a London studio, but the Four Horsemen and Daniel Radcliffe both went to Macau. When everyone thought they were setting off a casino scene, the Four Horsemen’s answer was "We only have a chance to go to the casino on the last night before we leave." Radcliffe, who has a relatively small role, had the opportunity to gamble everywhere.


Macau stills of the film


1905: What did you see in Macau? What did you do?

Liz Capan: Macau is the craziest city I’ve ever seen. At first glance, it’s a Las Vegas; at second glance, it looks like Portugal; at second glance, it’s completely Chinese. I don’t know, the world is amazing! Macau was our last stop, and everyone was severely sleep-deprived and didn’t have time for jet lag, so everyone was sleepwalking, and this feeling is the most suitable for Macau, because it’s amazing.

 

Jessie Eisenberg: Las Vegas + China + Portugal = Macau. The culture of this place is very special, and the atmosphere is very suitable for the whole story. When the Four Horsemen came to Macau, they didn’t know where they were. It just so happens that in Macau, we all feel like we are in the clouds. On the other hand, the story says that Macau is one of the origins of magic, which explains why Daniel Radcliffe’s villain magician came here, and the Four Horsemen are familiar with the background of the magicians in the Macau circus, so it makes sense.

 

Liz Capan: Probably the biggest headache for the crew is Woody Harrelson’s diet, which only eats raw vegetables and fruits, so in Macau, it’s quite embarrassing.

 

Jess Eisenberg: Being a vegetarian in China is difficult, but luckily I can say "no meat, thank you" in Chinese.

 

 

1905: Did you take a gamble?

Liz Capan: After our last day of filming, we went out and played Daniel Radcliffe’s favorite, a card called "Baccarat," and I remember I seemed to win a little bit, but I had no idea how I did it because I didn’t even know the rules.

 

Woody Harrelson: I always lose every bet, so I’ve always been careful to take what I see. As a result, there were too many casinos in Macau, so I won some small money. On the way back, I went into a few more casinos and lost.

 

Dave Franco: There was so much to play with that I didn’t have time to look at it. With so much cash in my pocket, I made a bet and was ready to lose and leave. In the end, I probably won ten dollars.

 

In front of Jay Chou, Harry Potter is not even a coffee!

 

 

Zhou Dong’s appearance was very calm, and the English of "Hello everyone, I’m Xiao Li" was also a bunker.

 

When interviewing four foreign stars, their eyes lit up every time Jay Chou was mentioned.

 

JESSIE EISENBERG: I guess Jay is a perfectionist, and he wants to be the best at whatever he does. I only knew he was the Michael Jackson of China, but I didn’t expect him to be so dedicated and good at acting on set. To be honest, I guessed that this Asian Jackson couldn’t act, but I was wrong. He was also very good at funny in English, very accurate in details, and sometimes improvised.


Mark Ruffalo and Jay Chou for a photo


Mark Ruffalo: I’m a fan of him, to be honest. For me, Jay Chou is the Elvis Presley of Asia. He is very funny and stylish, and I especially enjoy working with musicians, who always bring unexpected surprises to movies.

 

Liz Capan: I was looking forward to working with the world-class child actor "Harry Potter" at first, and when I learned how famous Jay Chou was, Daniel Radcliffe was directly turned into a piece of dust.

 

Woody Harrelson: When I left Macau, the person I most wanted to take with me was Jay Chou!

 

Director Zhu Haowei said that Jay Chou also directed the Hulk’s Chinese lines at the scene, but unfortunately, when the great god Morgan Freeman opened his mouth, the standard and vicissitudes of the pronunciation directly turned the Hulk’s Chinese into Meow Xingyu. Zhu Haowei was surprised that Director Chou knew magic and was so skilled. The magic shot in the movie that did not need to use the camera to "deceive" the audience came from "Director Chou" Jay Chou, which surprised the director. Everyone can look forward to it.

 

Zhu Haowei, who has also filmed music videos, said that he thought he would direct the filming of the theme song, but when he learned that Jay Chou had been directing and acting in the music video, he gave up the idea directly. As the global theme song of "The Magic Group 2", Jay Chou’s "Now You See Me" was the first Chinese global theme song to appear in a Hollywood movie.

 

And finally, the coolest shot of Jesse with his curly hair.


Network NIO will lay off 10% -20%, the official said that the relevant information has not been received, it is difficult to break the "20,000 car curse"

  Red Star Capital Bureau news on November 2nd, 1st, some netizens broke the news in Maimai that NIO (09866.HK/NIO.US) started layoffs, ranging from 10% to 20%, involving multiple departments and positions. Employees certified as NIO Technology (Anhui) Co., Ltd. also confirmed the news on Maimai.

  However, on the afternoon of November 2, the original post was deleted. NIO told the Red Star Capital Bureau that it had not received relevant information. A number of NIO front-line sales and marketing personnel also said that they had not heard of any layoffs.

Screenshot of Maimai's revelation

  NIO is hard to break "20,000 car spell"

  On November 1, car companies disclosed sales in October. Li Auto (02015.HK/LI.US) has sold more than 40,000 vehicles a month; XPeng Motors (09868.HK/XPEV.US), which was once at the bottom, reversed the decline and broke through the 20,000 mark; AITO asked the single model to deliver more than 10,000 vehicles a month, holding 80,000 orders menacing; Zero car (09863.HK), extreme krypton cars have also set a monthly delivery record.

  NIO delivered 16,000 vehicles in October, an increase of 2.77% month-on-month, still failing to reach the 20,000 mark. Li Bin, chairperson of NIO, previously announced: "Confident that sales will achieve 20,000 vehicles in a single month in the second half of the year". From January to October, NIO delivered a total of 126,000 new vehicles, and the annual delivery target (245,000 vehicles) was just over half.

  In April and May, sales fell to more than 6,000 vehicles; at the end of May, the new ES6, known as the "hope of the whole village", began to be delivered, and in June NIO deliveries returned to 10,000 vehicles; on June 12, NIO announced a price reduction of 30,000 yuan for all new cars, and deliveries in July soared to 20,000 vehicles; but it fell again in August, and hovered around 16,000 vehicles in September and October.

  Although there are remedies such as a price reduction of 30,000 yuan and the same price of ET5T and ET5, NIO still cannot escape the "20,000 car curse".

  26,800 employees in 2022,

  Over 11.20 billion yuan salary

  At the end of last year, Li Bin said that "as long as the salary can be issued, it is easy to avoid layoffs." "Maintaining 100% of the people and completing 150% of the work, this should be what we should do."

  However, in January this year, Li Bin’s letter to all staff mentioned the need to streamline the team. The letter pointed out that the team will continue to expand in 2022, but there are many cases of unclear responsibilities, inconsistent goals, imperfect processes, and repeated construction, and there is still much room for improvement in efficiency.

  The 2022 annual report shows that NIO has 26,800 employees, ideally 19,400 employees, and Xiaopeng has 15,800 employees.

  NIO paid more than 11.20 billion yuan in employee compensation in 2022, and if it layoffs 10% -20%, it can save about 11.2-22 40 million yuan.

  As of June 30 this year, NIO’s cash reserves were 31.50 billion yuan, a decrease of 6.30 billion yuan from the first quarter. In July, NIO completed a $738.50 million strategic equity investment from Abu Dhabi investment institutions. On September 19, NIO announced its intention to issue a $1 billion convertible senior bond.

  NIO’s material cash requirements due within one year, which mainly include capital commitments, operating and finance lease commitments, short-term and long-term bank borrowings, convertible bonds, and asset-backed securities and bonds, are $19.708 billion.

  Self-developed chips, operating systems, mobile phones, batteries,

  "All of it" is expensive

  In the second quarter, NIO’s net loss was 6.056 billion yuan. According to the delivery volume of 54,600 vehicles in the first half of the year, NIO sold an average car at a loss of 200,000 yuan; the overall gross profit margin fell to 1%, 1.5% in the first quarter, and 13% in the same period last year. Li Bin postponed the break-even date from the fourth quarter of this year by less than one year.

  In the third quarter, NIO’s sales increased by 135.74% to 55,400 vehicles, but the performance is not optimistic. Although NIO cancelled the free power exchange and reduced the owner’s rights, the remaining expenses are all "hard bones".

  R & D investment cannot be saved. Smart cars are all about technology, and car companies are not hesitant to invest. NIO’s R & D expenses in the second quarter reached 3.345 billion yuan. Li Bin previously said that the average R & D expenses per quarter in 2023 will remain at 3 billion – 3.50 billion yuan.

  Supplementary energy system also need to increase investment, which is the core competitiveness of NIO. NIO plans to build a total of more than 2,300 substation in 2023, according to the second generation station 150-2 million yuan construction cost calculation, to invest at least 3.45 billion yuan.

  Service-related expenses are difficult to reduce. NIO’s positioning is a "user-based enterprise", and the ultimate service is the core of the brand and the competitiveness of differentiation.

  "NIO wants everything, the stall is too big," Hao Liu, an independent automotive analyst, told Red Star Capital.

  NIO’s self-developed chip "Yang Jian" was mass-produced in October, with a chip research and development team of 800 people; self-developed vehicle global operating system Tianshu SkyOS; NIO is currently the only new car manufacturer with a self-built mobile phone team, and NIO Phone has been listed.

  Previously, NIO was also exposed to develop lithium manganese iron phosphate and 4680 batteries, and plans to mass-produce these two batteries to supply NIO (NIO) and its sub-brand Alps.

  Li Bin mentioned in the third quarter of 2022 earnings call that NIO expects to invest 3 billion-4 billion yuan in sub-brands, batteries, chips, mobile phones and other related businesses in 2023, and will not stop investing in new businesses before the fourth quarter of 2023.

  Will NIO be China’s future automaker?

  According to data from the Passenger Federation, the number of passenger car companies in China was 82 by the end of 2022, and 64 by September 2023, a decrease of 18 in nine months.

  The collapse of Weimar Automobile has sounded the alarm for the industry. Although the official denied the rumors that Chairperson Shen Hui ran overseas, saying that the company is actively saving itself and has not filed for bankruptcy, the fact is that Weimar Automobile has fallen behind in sales since 2022, selling one at a loss, financing difficulties, and the capital chain is broken.

  Wang Xing, Meituan’s founder, predicted in early 2020: "China’s car companies are basically competing for the next two rounds of the ‘3 + 3 + 3 ‘competition. In addition to three central enterprises, three local state-owned enterprises and three private enterprises, the three new forces are Ideal, NIO and Xiaopeng."

  This pattern may change, but it is an industry consensus that the number of Chinese automakers will be limited in the future.

  At the 2023 China Automobile Chongqing Forum, Yin Tongyue, chairperson of Chery Automobile, Ding Lei, chairperson of Gaohe Automobile, Zhu Jiangming, chairperson of Zero Run Automobile, Ma Donghui, president of Li Auto, Yu Chengdong, executive director of Huawei, and Shen Feng, executive vice president of NIO, expressed their views on the future industry structure. They believe that there will be less than 10 Chinese car companies in the future, and maybe even less than or equal to 5.

  The industry generally believes that 2024 will be the year of life and death for the auto market. Li Bin also said in late 2022 that 2024 is the final stage of the new energy vehicle industry. "We believe we have the qualification to participate in the finals."

  

Musk’s greatest achievement is brain-computer interface, which is far ahead in building the highest medical technology. Brain-computer interface can not only help more people stand up, but also live l

On October 27th, according to Tianjin Daily, recently, a new generation of domestic chip dedicated to brain-computer interface acquisition was successfully developed in Tianjin.

Affected by this news, in the early morning of October 27th, many brain-computer concept stocks such as innovative medical care, Xinzhi cognition, Guanhao biology, Sanbo Brain Department, international medicine and Nanjing Panda changed.

At the close, Guanhao Bio increased by 7.89%, innovative medical care increased by 5.68%, Nanjing Panda increased by 4.54%, and Sanbo Brain Department increased by 3.58%, ranking among the top gainers.

New progress of brain-computer interface

Brain-computer interface (BCI or Brain-Machine Interface,BMI) refers to the direct connection between human or animal brain and external equipment, which realizes the information exchange between brain and equipment, and is known as the "information superhighway" for human brain to communicate with the outside world.

With the continuous progress of brain science, brain-like science and artificial intelligence technology, people’s interest in brain-computer interface is increasing day by day. Various research institutions and companies have invested in this research.

According to the analysis data of Rui Beast, from 2014 to August 20th, 2023, there were 170 financing incidents in the brain-computer interface industry in China, involving 60 companies, and 78 incidents in which the financing amount was disclosed, with a total financing amount of 5.845 billion RMB, involving 149 investment institutions. From the breakdown of the track, the biomedical field is the most active, followed by brain-computer interface equipment. In addition, EEG acquisition platforms and electrodes/probes have also concentrated many high-quality enterprises to attract capital investment.

Since the second half of this year, good news in the field of brain-computer interface in China has continued, and a number of policies have supported industrial research and development. In August, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other four departments issued the "Implementation Plan for Standardization Pilot Project of New Industries (2023-2035)", in which the future industries will focus on nine major areas, such as meta-universe and brain-computer interface. On September 13th, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology organized the unveiling of the future industrial innovation tasks in 2023, aiming at four key directions: metauniverse, humanoid robot, brain-computer interface and general artificial intelligence.

According to reports, the chip successfully developed in Tianjin is jointly developed by Haihe Laboratory of Brain-Computer Interaction and Human-Computer Integration and China Electronic Information Industry Group. It has completely independent intellectual property rights and can be used for non-invasive brain-computer interface and multi-modal neuroelectrophysiological equipment. It can be widely used in smart medical care, aerospace, human-computer interaction, games and entertainment, etc., and will transform the achievements of enterprises in Tiankai Park.

Among them, Yishi Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., an enterprise hatched by Haihe Laboratory of Brain Machine aiming at the innovation achievements, is negotiating and docking with a number of 3A hospitals, scientific research institutes and medical device enterprises. After the trial production of the chip sample is successful, it will be formally applied to self-developed EEG acquisition modules and wearable portable devices, and put into various civil and special brain-computer interface application scenarios to accelerate the transformation and promotion of follow-up products.

Brain-computer interface is an interdisciplinary subject in the fields of materials science, neuroscience, brain science and information science. Relevant research reports show that brain-computer interface technology is widely used in the market. Among them, medical health is the largest market application field of brain-computer interface at present, and it is also the fastest growing field, mainly focusing on four functions: monitoring, improvement/recovery, substitution and enhancement.

Brain-computer interface technology can directly realize the interaction between the brain and external devices, cross the conventional brain information output path, and is widely used in medical and health fields. At the same time, with the continuous exploration of the structure and function of the brain by modern medicine, human beings have made in-depth research on the functional areas of the brain, such as movement, vision, hearing and language, so obtaining and analyzing the information of these brain areas through brain-computer interface equipment has a wide range of applications in the fields of physical examination and diagnosis, screening and monitoring, treatment and rehabilitation of neurological and mental system diseases.

In the future, after removing obstacles such as ethics and technical maturity, it will gradually penetrate into entertainment, smart home, military and other fields and become one of the important forms of human-computer interaction.

Innovative medical care is suspected of speculation.

According to public information, in the A-share market, many listed companies, including Innovative Medical Care, Sanbo Brain Department, Nanjing Panda, Jiahe Intelligent, century huatong, Tomcat and so on, have started brain-computer interface business.

In the early morning of October 27, there was a change in the brain-computer interface plate. Among them, Innovative Medical jumped 8% to the daily limit in 5 minutes, and the closing price was 8.37 yuan/share, an increase of 5.68%.

This is not the first time that innovative medical care has experienced a daily limit due to the concept of brain-computer interface. In June this year, innovative medical care gained 5 consecutive boards. According to the announcement of abnormal fluctuation of stock trading released on June 13th, on June 8th, 9th and 12th, the deviation value of closing price decline of innovative medical stocks for three consecutive trading days totaled more than 20%.

According to the announcement, the company’s production and operation situation and internal and external operating environment have not changed significantly recently, so investors are advised to pay attention to the trading risks in the secondary market.

According to the data, innovative medical treatment was mainly engaged in the cultivation, processing and sales of freshwater pearls. In February 2016, the company successfully completed a major asset restructuring. In 2016, the company’s main business expanded to the medical service industry and transformed into a big health industry, from a single aquaculture processing enterprise to a dual-main listed company with pearl jewelry processing and production, wholesale and retail and medical services. The company achieved diversified development.

This also makes many investors suspect that the brain-computer interface may be another false concept of harvesting leeks. "This company’s business has nothing to do with the brain-computer interface at all. It has been losing money since 2019 and has never made any money. It’s just that a company called Boling Brain Machine was set up by participating in the stock market, and it caught the east wind of brain-computer interface. In fact, this company was only established in 2021, and everything is in ruins. The so-called brain-computer business has not been lost. "

Innovative Medical previously stated on the interactive question-and-answer platform of investors that the company’s shareholding in Boling Brain Computer (Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. was 40%. According to public information, Boling Brain Machine (Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on the development of brain-computer interface and the core technology of pan-brain application medical instruments, focusing on the social problems of treatment and rehabilitation of stroke with high morbidity and disability in international clinics, and developing new brain-computer interface technologies to improve the rehabilitation effect of patients and enable patients to maximize their functional improvement and self-care ability.

After the close of trading on October 27th, Innovative Medical released the results announcement for the third quarter of 2023, with revenue of 607 million yuan in the first three quarters, up by 12.32% year-on-year; The net profit loss attributable to shareholders of listed companies was 14.21 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 10.52%. Among them, the net profit loss attributable to the owners of the parent company in the third quarter was 10.761 million yuan, compared with 35.2151 million yuan in the same period of last year, which turned from profit to loss; Operating income 2.02100 million yuan, down 1.53%.

New Energy Vehicles: What’s the difference between changing electricity and charging?

The limit test of electric muck car's power changing mode-charging and power changing energy demonstration station.

The limit test of electric muck car’s power changing mode-charging and power changing energy demonstration station.

  A few days ago, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Notice on Launching the Pilot Work of the New Energy Vehicle Switching Mode Application" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"). There are 11 cities included in the pilot scope, including 8 comprehensive application cities, and Nanjing is one of the pilot cities. What are the advantages of changing electricity compared with charging? The reporter visited different types of power exchange stations that have landed in Nanjing.

  Yangzi Evening News/Zi Niu News reporter Liu Liyuan

  With the increasing number of electric vehicle users, slow charging and queuing for charging greatly affect the user experience. During the National Day this year, new energy vehicles in high-speed service areas once rushed to the hot search. As the name implies, changing electricity is to replace the battery. Compared with the current charging efficiency of electric vehicles, changing electricity is more time-saving.

  In the aspect of replacing electricity for passenger cars, Weilai, a brand of new energy vehicles, started early. Weilai staff told reporters that Weilai has built a station in Nanjing since 2018. Up to now, a total of 17 power stations have been laid in Nanjing. In Nanjing Xianlin Life Science and Technology Park, the Weilai Second Generation Power Station, which was recently launched, only needs four standard parking spaces, but it is quite efficient and convenient to operate, and it can be replaced in a few minutes. The staff said that on average, there are about 50 orders for changing power stations every day, and there are 100 orders when there are many.

  This year, State Grid Nanjing Power Supply Company and the municipal government also started the relevant exploration of replacing electricity with special vehicles. In the demonstration station of charging and replacing electric energy, which is located in Lishui, it takes only 5 minutes for an electric muck truck with insufficient battery to drive to the charging and replacing power station and replace it with a fully charged battery. In this demonstration station, the single power exchange time can be controlled within 5-7 minutes, which can provide power exchange service for 50 muck trucks. In addition, the demonstration station also bears another responsibility: compare the advantages and disadvantages of electric vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles in terms of actual cruising range, adaptability to complex road conditions, charging and replacing efficiency, user operating costs, driving experience, etc., so as to optimize and transform electric muck trucks according to the data and promote the popularization and application of electric muck trucks.

  Last year, the largest intelligent charging building for electric vehicles in China — — The electric vehicle geek space Jiangbei New District Station in Nanjing has been put into operation. The reporter learned that the station has planned a power exchange service in addition to non-inductive charging, which can exchange power for various electric vehicles such as civilian cars and network cars in the future. At present, various types of power exchange stations have not fully realized the cross-exchange of power between different brands of vehicles and different models of batteries. In view of this phenomenon, Oscar Chan, a fifth-level employee of State Grid Nanjing Power Supply Company, told reporters that establishing and improving the technical standard system for power exchange, breaking the barriers between different brands of power exchange agreements and creating a good industrial ecology for power exchange mode are important components of the pilot work of the application of power exchange mode for new energy vehicles.

    American football star michael vick, who was criticized for his involvement in illegal dog fighting, attended a hearing in the Virginia District Court on the 27th and formally pleaded guilty. Vic apologized to the public for his behavior. He said that he is not mature enough and needs to grow up.


    District Court Judge Henry Hudson said that Vic’s plea agreement may not help him reduce his punishment, and he still faces up to five years in prison.


    punish severely


    Vic arrived at the court to attend the hearing accompanied by supporters and lawyers on the 27th, and also waiting outside the court were protesters holding up photos of "defeated dogs" who were injured in dog fighting competitions. Dog fighting is a bloody game, and Vic has been strongly criticized by the media and animal protectionists.


    At the hearing, Judge Hudson asked Vic, "In an conspiracy charge, do you admit guilt because you are really guilty?" Vic replied, "Yes, your honor."


    Dog fighting is illegal in 50 States in the United States, and 48 of them even make it a felony. A new bill passed by the US Congress stipulates that "dog fighting" in cross-border transportation is a federal crime. According to the relevant laws and regulations, if convicted, Vic faces up to five years in prison.


    Prosecutor Chuck Rosenberg said in a statement: "The person who committed dog fighting for the first time may not be sentenced to imprisonment, but we believe that this case is disgusting, cruel and inhuman, so three of the four defendants, including Vic, should be punished more severely."


    The prosecutor suggested that the judge sentence Vic to 12 to 18 months’ imprisonment.


    Hudson said that the prosecutor’s suggestion is of great significance to the judgment, but even so, the final judgment is not completely limited by the prosecution’s suggestion.


    "You must face any decision I make," Hudson told Vic in court. "If I think you need to serve five years, you must obey." Vic replied again, "Yes, your honor."

    apology


    Vic, 27, is the star quarterback of Atlanta Falcon, an American professional football team. His 10-year salary of $130 million ranks second among NFL players.


    Vic told the media on the 27th that he apologized to the public for "everything I have done". He not only apologized to his coach, teammates and NFL, but also apologized for "immature behavior to all children".


    "What I did is very immature, which means I need to grow up," Vic said. "I am responsible for my actions, and now I have to pay for it."


    Vic said that he was "disappointed" with himself and "through this incident, I realized my mistake".


    "Fighting dogs is a bad thing, and I should resist such a thing," he said. "I apologize to everyone and I will redeem myself. I have to do this. "


    Vic admitted on the 24th that he and three other people participated in an illegal inter-state dog fighting organization called "Bad News from Dog kennel" from 2001 to April 2007, and funded dog fighting activities, and admitted that the activities of this dog fighting organization involved gambling and his own participation in the execution of defeated dogs.

In the United States, the scene and consequences of dog fighting are quite cruel. The duration of a dog fighting is as short as 15 minutes and as long as five or six hours until one dog bites the neck of another dog. All 50 States in the United States stipulate that dog fighting is illegal, and 48 of them even list dog fighting as a felony. Even so, the bloody game of dog fighting is still rampant in the United States. Xinhua News Agency/AFP


    lose


    Vic’s dog fighting behavior not only faced legal sanctions, but also dealt a heavy blow to his football career. Vic has lost most of his sponsorship since he was accused. Nike, a sporting goods manufacturer, suspended the release of a sports shoe named after Vic.


    The NFL announced a one-season ban on Vic. Atlanta’s "Falcon" team said that they would not fire Vic immediately, because he had received a dividend of $22 million from the contract signed with the team in 2004, and the "Falcon" team hoped that Vic would return the money.


    In a letter to Vic on 24th, Roger Ghoder, a member of NFL Committee, said: "What you admit is not only illegal, but also cruel and should be condemned. Your team, NFL and fans are all hurt by your actions. " (Yan Chao)
