Bill Gates asserted in "Climate Economy and the Future of Mankind": "Those who took the lead in establishing the great ‘ Zero carbon ’ Enterprise and the Great ‘ Zero carbon ’ Industrial countries will lead the global economy in the coming decades. "

Entrepreneurs who have devoted themselves to science and technology have never been stingy with the grand imagination of depicting the future picture of mankind. Surprisingly, in this uncertain environment, it seems difficult for you to find a common divisor that is accepted by most countries and industries.

Everything about carbon is an exception. Under the imminent crisis of survival brought by climate change, this understanding is gradually accepted:Carbon reduction is in progress, and zero carbon is ideal.

Although we know that the destination is there, which way to go is still a mystery — — Just like this summer, a war around the periodic table of elements in new energy batteries started in turn. After carefully calculating the cost of electricity, eager investors can only hope for scientific and technological progress and business model innovation.

Is "zero carbon" really just a utopia that no one has ever seen?

On the endless plateau desert in Inner Mongolia, China, a large number of modern factories have sprung up. Of course, it is not unusual to build a new factory. What is unusual is that they gave up the east, which is closer to the market, and instead built the factory to the west of Hu Huanyong Line, which is not so bright in traditional economic geography. Surprisingly, it can achieve stable, low-cost and green energy supply in the face of global energy crisis; Surprisingly, the products produced here can easily meet the EU’s carbon footprint requirements, and are exported to the world without fear of carbon tariffs.

This is Ordos, once the world-famous largest "coal capital" in China.In the past year, another name that was frequently mentioned was "Manchester" on the Yellow River.— — The world industrial revolution originated in Britain, and the British industrial revolution originated in Manchester. Today, Ordos has become a force that cannot be ignored in the new round of green industrial revolution.

All this is because Ordos made a bold experiment: in April this year, the world’s first zero-carbon industrial park — — Vision Ordos Zero Carbon Industrial Park landed here. In less than a year, it has flourished at a speed exceeding expectations.A new power system with new energy as the main body has been built, digital energy and carbon management technologies have been applied, and the scale of 100 billion-level new energy industrial clusters has begun to appear.

In July this year, we saw that the zero-carbon industrial park model pioneered in Ordos has been "exported" overseas: Yuanjing Technology Group signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Spanish government to promote the carbon neutrality process in Spain, and both parties agreed to build the first zero-carbon industrial park in continental Europe in Spain, and to lay out power battery super factory, intelligent IOT technology center, green hydrogen factory, intelligent wind power equipment and other businesses to help Spain build a new zero-carbon industrial system and intelligent digital technology ecology.Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez witnessed the signing of the contract, and China’s zero-carbon model is being replicated and promoted around the world.

Perhaps by asking the reasons behind the success of the vision to build a zero-carbon industrial park, we can blow away the carbon dioxide shrouded in the vague and unpredictable "zero-carbon world" and get closer to the zero-carbon vision.

　

Pay tribute to coal and move towards zero carbon.

At the Ordos Zero Carbon Industry Summit, which introduced the zero carbon industrial park to the world for the first time in October last year, Zhang lei, CEO of Yuanjing Technology Group, said in his keynote speech:He wants to pay tribute to the 1 trillion tons of coal underground in Ordos Plateau.

"As a green technology company, Vision has been struggling to find the most efficient carbon sequestration and carbon capture technology. After studying for a long time, it suddenly became clear that coal was the most perfect and efficient carbon sequestration technology 300 million years ago." Zhang lei said when explaining the origin of this tribute.

In fact, the birth of zero-carbon industrial park is inextricably linked with the identity of Ordos as a "coal city".

Inner Mongolia’s coal reserves account for about 1/6 of the whole country, and about 330,000 fuel trucks are needed for transportation every year.If these fuel heavy trucks can be replaced by electric heavy trucks, it is equivalent to the demand of 100GWh batteries. More importantly, if they all use green electricity in the future, they can reduce emissions by 30 million tons per year.For China, which is marching towards the goal of "double carbon", this is a dream.

In today’s Ordos area, two smart heavy-duty truck-changing power stations are particularly eye-catching, and the field of heavy-duty truck-changing has also become one of the important scenes of green electricity consumption.

Zhao Weijun, executive director of Yuanjing Power and president of China District, told the reporter that through intelligent dispatching, this intelligent heavy truck power exchange station can effectively improve the efficiency of power exchange operation, provide safe and rapid clean energy supply for heavy trucks in local mining areas, participate in power grid load dispatching, and realize peak shaving, valley filling and green power consumption.

Vision Power, a power battery enterprise under Vision Technology Group, has laid out power and energy storage battery factories in Ordos Industrial Park.At present, the largest battery factory in the northern region, with an east-west direction of 530 meters, has put into production the power battery and energy storage battery capacity of 10GWh in the first phase.

The longer-term consideration behind the power battery project entering the zero-carbon industrial park is the threat of international carbon tariffs.In June this year, the amendment to the draft EU carbon border adjustment mechanism was formally adopted. According to the proposal, 2023-2025 is the transition period for the implementation of carbon tariffs in the European Union. Imported products do not need to pay carbon tariffs, but importers are required to submit quarterly reports including the total amount of imported products, direct and indirect carbon emissions of products and other information. From 2026, the EU will formally and comprehensively levy carbon tariffs.

Among them, the revision of the EU carbon tariff and the revision of the EU New Battery Regulation mean that the control of the local power battery industry chain in Europe will be stricter, and it will challenge China power battery industry chain enterprises to enter the European market.

This means that the cost of goods exported from China to Europe will further increase, and China needs to accelerate its zero-carbon transformation and obtain a "green pass".

According to Zhao Weijun’s calculation, taking a 100-degree battery pack as an example, the carbon emission in the manufacturing stage is about 5 tons. According to the recent carbon transaction price of 100 euros/ton, the potential carbon cost faced by exports is about 500 euros.

Interestingly, this is not only "not a problem" for enterprises in zero-carbon industrial parks, but an opportunity.

The "new power system" and "zero-carbon digital operating system" laid out in the zero-carbon industrial park jointly support the realization of intelligent manufacturing of zero-carbon batteries in the future — — The new power system provides 100% zero-carbon energy supply for battery production; Based on the intelligent IOT operating system EnOS and Ark Energy Carbon Management Platform, the zero-carbon digital authentication system gives each battery a "zero-carbon green code" that can be traced back to the source, conforms to various international standards, and has been certified by authoritative organizations, without fear of carbon tariffs, and is unimpeded in the world.

At present, a number of new energy head enterprises have settled in the park, initially forming.A battery and energy storage industry chain with vision as the leader and Huajing, Wanlitai and Rongli as the supporting facilities; The photovoltaic industry chain led by Longji; The manufacturing industrial chain of hydrogen fuel cells and green hydrogen equipment led by Meijin Guohong and GCL Group; The new energy automobile manufacturing industry chain led by Shangqi Hongyan and Jiehydrogen Technology.

With the rise of green new industrial clusters of new energy batteries, new energy equipment and new energy vehicles, Yuanjing Erdos Zero Carbon Industrial Park will become a model of global green industrial revolution.

Zhang lei said at the 2022 Erdos Zero Carbon Summit that the green industrial revolution is not limited to the energy field. Under the fourth industrial revolution, a grand integration system will be built in the fields of wind power, photovoltaic, energy storage, power batteries and electric vehicles. Only by empowering the new industrial system and combining it with the information and Internet of Things technology in the third industrial revolution, especially artificial intelligence technology, can this system make the renewable energy system greener, more efficient and more stable, and effectively promote the development of the green industrial revolution.

　

Why zero carbon?

Despite the lack of an internationally recognized clear definition, the general logic of a zero-carbon industrial park is not difficult to understand — — Through the use of clean energy development and trading, industrial technological transformation and other means, the greenhouse gases generated in the park will be reduced and offset, and the production and operation of the park will achieve net zero emission.

Energy and industry have always been closely linked. In order to achieve zero carbon in industry, it is imperative to reduce carbon from the energy supply side. Zhang Yuan, senior director of strategy of Yuanjing Science and Technology Group, said that 80% of the electricity in the zero-carbon industrial park is directly supplied by renewable energy in the region, and 20% is traded with the power grid to realize 100% green zero-carbon energy supply.

Whether it is wind power or photovoltaic, as a renewable energy, it is inevitable to escape the dilemma of "looking at the sky and eating", but industrial production cannot stop. In order to solve this problem, Yuanjing Erdos Zero Carbon Industrial Park provides two solutions: exploring smart microgrid and large-scale energy storage.

The first is the control and scheduling of new power system based on renewable energy.As a park-level project, its components are different from those of large power grids. The high proportion of direct supply of wind, light and green electricity makes the energy structure different from that of the grid power which is still dominated by thermal power at present, and the number of downstream users is less than that of the grid power, which means that the load balance space is more limited. Therefore, it must be realized by accurately forecasting the wind and solar power, establishing a reasonable power market trading mechanism in the park, and actively interacting with large power grids and optimizing power flow management, all of which need to integrate this set of iterative optimization algorithms into the new power system.

The second is large-scale energy storage.Not only one kind, but a variety of energy storage methods are integrated. Electrochemical energy storage can only store energy for 4 hours within the current technology and price range. The park not only reserves the interaction between 20% electricity and the power grid, but also explores the integration of energy storage for a longer period of time, such as liquid air energy storage, which can realize energy storage at the level of days or even weeks.

"The new power system is to balance three core issues. The first issue is to achieve a high proportion of green energy, the second is to maintain the stability of the power grid, and the third is to realize that electricity prices are competitive. These three things are in a process of constant balance. " Zhang Yuan briefly pointed out the difficulties.

In fact, this difficult balance has been almost achieved in the zero-carbon industrial park. In addition to achieving stable and green energy, the electricity price in Yuanjing Zero Carbon Industrial Park is 20% lower than the industrial and commercial electricity price in Inner Mongolia.

In the past industrial system of China, because the electricity price was relatively low and stable, the problem of electricity cost was not widely and deeply considered. However, this situation is changing. This year, all industrial and commercial enterprises bought electricity, bid farewell to the government catalogue electricity price that has been used for many years, and adopted the market-oriented electricity price that fluctuates with the on-grid electricity price of coal-fired electricity. The price transmission is not smooth due to the weak downstream demand, so enterprises have to think about the coping strategies of reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

Qiu Lin, chief scientist of Yuanjing intelligent zero-carbon products, believes that the zero-carbon industrial park is actually the local consumption of green electricity, which will further improve the economic benefits of green electricity and reduce the energy consumption cost of enterprises.

However, it is not easy to build a new power system with the local power grid, and it needs local support in policy innovation. Zhang Yuan said that Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region practiced the concept of "ecological priority and green development" and launched a series of policies.

　

"Insist that Castle Peak will not relax"

Anyone who has visited Ordos Zero-carbon Industrial Park will be convinced that this large-scale zero-carbon experiment is definitely a "two-way trip" between enterprises and the government, capital technology and institutional mechanisms.

"There is no precedent and no reference for building a zero-carbon industrial park. We can only grope our way forward." Du Yanbin, deputy flag-bearer of the People’s Government of Ejinhoro Banner in Ordos, admitted frankly at the 2022 Ordos Zero Carbon Industry Summit that in the face of different voices and numerous challenges, the government grasped the new energy projects with the tenacity of "sticking to the green hills and not relaxing" and the determination of "not turning back until reaching the goal", which led to the gathering of the whole industrial chain of "scenery hydrogen storage vehicles" and the momentum of building a zero carbon industrial park competing with generate.

In order to do a good job as a "support group", governments at all levels have set up special classes for the construction of zero-carbon industrial parks, covering all functional departments and enterprises involved, and established a vertical and horizontal communication and cooperation mechanism. Through close scheduling to solve problems, exchange views and build consensus, a good pattern of government building, enterprise singing opera and industry matchmaking has been formed, which has injected strong confidence and inexhaustible motivation into the early completion of the zero-carbon industrial park.

"The autonomous region attaches great importance to our zero-carbon industrial park and has set up a special class. In terms of the approval process, the government has done a lot of optimization and streamlining, which has made our industrial park land very fast. At the same time, there are a lot of scenic resources and industrial bases around Ordos, which are suitable for making a zero-carbon industrial park. These are the factors that we choose to make a zero-carbon industrial park together." Gu Lizhen, product director of Yuanjing Zero Carbon Business, said.

From the autonomous region to the development zone, there is no support.In order to seize the commanding heights of the equipment manufacturing industry, in recent years, Inner Mongolia has intensified its top-level design and launched a number of policy documents to fully promote the high-end, clustered and large-scale development of the equipment manufacturing industry.

From the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Modern Equipment Manufacturing Industry Development Plan (2013— 2020) to "Several Opinions on Further Supporting the Accelerated Development of Modern Equipment Manufacturing Industry", and then to "Implementation Plan for High-quality Development of New Energy Equipment Manufacturing Industry in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region (2021— In 2025), the thinking is gradually clear, the direction is clearer, and the measures are more specific. "Strive to build Inner Mongolia into a modern equipment manufacturing industrial base in China" is being put into practice from the vision.

Up to now, the achievements of the project have begun to show: the context of the construction of zero-carbon industrial park has become clearer, and the practice of "1+2+5+8" innovative demonstration system to realize the zero-carbon concept has been gradually implemented: large-scale scenery storage projects are planned to be connected to the grid during the year, new energy planning has been completed for approval, the standard of "Evaluation Method for Green Power Application" in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has been officially released, the standard of "Construction Specification for Zero-carbon Industrial Park" will be officially released soon, and eight innovative demonstrations are being cultivated.

The vision has never concealed the ambition of promoting zero-carbon industrial parks around the world. Zhang lei said,In the future, the mission of the vision is to make the zero-carbon industrial park — — China’s original products and standards go global, and it can become an important promoter of the green industrial revolution with more partners. By 2030, Vision will join hands with partners to build 100 zero-carbon industrial parks and realize 1 billion tons of carbon emission reduction worldwide every year.

From experiment to popularization, from Ordos to the whole world, this seemingly grand and distant goal is becoming a reality step by step.

In the autumn of 1347, the twilight of Europe shone on the sparkling sea, and merchant ships slowly sailed into the port of Messina in Sicily, Italy. These ships from Genoa not only brought precious goods from the East, but also mysterious exotic customs and wealth, which disturbed the tranquility of Europe in the Middle Ages under the impetus of sea breeze. People are busy exchanging goods in the port, enjoying the prosperity and joy brought by business, but no one expected that the shadow of death had quietly come.

The source of the plague is those rats in groups in the cabin. They carry the deadly Yersinia pestis and quietly penetrate into every corner of the port. All these disasters originated from the battlefield in Mongolia. At that time, when the Mongolian army besieged Kafa City, it threw the infected bodies into the city and infected the residents in the city. With the footsteps of businessmen and rats, the plague spread from the Middle East to Europe.

The port of Messina became the first battlefield of the Black Death. With the continuous navigation of merchant ships, the plague spread like wildfire and swept across Italy. It mercilessly took countless lives, turned the vibrant and lively city into a dead ruin, and the laughter of the past was replaced by the silence of death.

Boccaccio, a great literary master at that time, vividly described the horror brought by this disaster in decameron. On the street, people suddenly fell down, and the bodies at home rotted, giving off a stench, until the neighbors noticed that death was coming quietly. Piles of bodies were transported to the church, and the cemetery could no longer accommodate them. The citizens had to dig huge potholes outside the city and bury the bodies in batches.

Under the shadow of this death, people’s hearts are full of helplessness and fear. Many people tried to escape from this disaster, eager to escape the shadow of death. However, the flight of most people only made the spread of the plague more rapid. The Catholic Church sternly appealed to believers not to escape, but in endless despair, people began to look for various ways to survive.

A heretical belief called "whipping school" came into being at this time. Believers beat themselves with whips, trying to redeem their sins in this extreme way and praying for God’s forgiveness. However, neither escape, prayer nor self-punishment can stop the pace of death, and the Black Death is still raging.

The plague has reduced Italy’s population by more than one third, and the death rate in the worst-hit areas is as high as 35% to 40%. This unprecedented disaster immersed Italy in deep sorrow and despair, but it also promoted the process of history. Under the heavy pressure of death, people began to reflect and think.

This disaster has revealed the importance of medicine and knowledge. In response to this epidemic, in April 1348, Florence City Council set up an epidemic prevention committee and began to implement the isolation system. The government issues health certificates to uninfected people and severely punishes those who violate the isolation regulations. Although this measure failed to completely eradicate the plague, it provided valuable experience for future generations’ epidemic prevention work, and the isolation and quarantine system gradually became one of the important methods to deal with the epidemic.

At the same time, the spread of the Black Death broke the shackles of medieval theology on people’s thoughts. People began to reflect on blind worship and superstition, and longed for the power of reason and knowledge. The theological concept of anti-intelligence is pale and powerless in the face of the horror of plague. People began to tend to explore science and rationality, and the seeds of the Renaissance quietly took root in this longing, and gradually blossomed with the passage of time.

Such as Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael and other great artists and scientists, their wisdom and talent have opened a new chapter in human history. Italy, a land that was hit hard by the Black Death, eventually became the cradle of the Renaissance, which deeply influenced the history and culture of Europe as a whole. It is against this background of pain and despair that the Italians found the spark of hope, lit the glory of civilization, once again lit up the whole of Europe and pushed the wheel of history forward.

01 Porsche responds to "Mi Shijie" for the first time

At the end of March, Xiaomi SU7, the first model of Xiaomi Automobile, went on the market, just like a catfish stirring the whole automobile industry.

Because Xiaomi SU7 looks like Porsche, it has been controversial and has been ridiculed by netizens as "Mi Shijie" or "Bao Shimi".

On the second day after the listing of Xiaomi SU7, a street photo of "Mi Shijie" and "Porsche" appeared on the Internet. If you don’t look at the logo, you really can’t tell who is who.

Lei Jun said at the press conference that Xiaomi Automobile wants to build a Dream Car comparable to Porsche and Tesla.

After the release of Xiaomi SU7, Porsche’s official live broadcast room was also lively.

What is even more embarrassing is that in the live broadcast rooms of some Porsche dealers, many people ran to ask Xiaomi Automobile, and some anchors couldn’t help but post it directly: This is Porsche! Not Xiaomi!

Xiaomi SU7 looks like Porsche. If it is viewed from product identification and communication, Xiaomi Automobile is "successful".

On April 14th, some media interviewed the president of Porsche China and asked how to look at "Mi Shijie". Michael Kirsc, President and CEO of Porsche China, said: Maybe a good design always has a heart.

This is compared with the embarrassed, surprised and helpless frown expressions that Porsche executives showed when they saw Zotye’s "cottage" Cayenne model at the auto show a few years ago. This time, the answer of Porsche China’s top leader is very clever.

Some netizens commented that Porsche is worthy of being a world famous brand and its pattern is large enough. Some netizens also commented that emotional intelligence is very high.

It is undeniable that the design of Porsche models can not only affect Xiaomi, but also the products of many car companies are very similar to Porsche, such as "time-saving race".

When Xiaomi SU7 was first listed, New Product Finance talked with a senior person in the automobile industry about its design topic, and he replied: I dare not buy it!

To put it more bluntly, from the design point of view, many new car-making forces in China are crossing the river by touching Porsche.

Porsche is really starting to get anxious.

Since last year, the sales volume of Porsche in China market has declined, which has aroused considerable concern in the market.

Porsche sold 320,221 vehicles worldwide in 2023, an increase of 3% over 2022. In 2023, the sales volume of Porsche in China market was 79,283 vehicles, which was 15% lower than that of 93,286 vehicles in 2022.

In the third quarter of 2023, Porsche’s sales in China market plummeted by 40%. In the first quarter of this year, Porsche delivered 16,340 vehicles in China, a year-on-year decrease of 24%, which once again attracted market attention.

You know, Porsche entered the mainland market of China in 2001, and it has been soaring all the way. Since 2015, the China market has become the largest single market for Porsche in the world.

As for the reasons for the decline in sales, Ke Shimai, President and CEO of Porsche China, replied that there was a time gap between the release and delivery of new products, and Porsche adhered to the strategy of "quality is more important than quantity", coupled with the staged sales rebound in the same period last year due to the epidemic, which made the base of the same period last year higher.

However, the market has different views on the decline of Porsche sales.

After careful observation, it will be found that the sales of the Cayenne and Macan, the two main models sold by Porsche in the China market, declined in 2023, and the sales of Macan, the lower-priced vehicle, declined even more seriously.

What’s even more surprising is that since 2013, dealers all over the country have shouted discounts, and the price reduction behavior of dealers has also affected Porsche’s brand reputation.

What is more noteworthy is that Porsche’s buying crowd and consumption behavior are changing.

Porsche has publicly stated that compared with other Porsche markets, the average age of car owners in China is the youngest, and the proportion of female car owners has reached about 50% of the highest. Take Macan as an example. At present, Macan’s biggest market is in China. The average age of car owners in China is mainly between 20 and 55, and the average age is 20 years younger than that in Europe and America, among which 61% are female car owners.

Cosmai said that at present, more than 70% of Porsche customers in China are self-employed, and they are more cautious about consumption during the economic recovery period. This shows that Porsche also has its own judgment on the luxury car consumption market in China.

There is another data worthy of attention. Porsche said that Generation Z has become the main consumer group, accounting for about 15% of the market.

The new generation of young people, represented by Generation Z, is obviously different from the consumers of previous generations of traditional luxury cars. Besides brand factors, they also care about exclusivity, cultural attributes and the different feelings that brands can bring to themselves.

Porsche’s sales decline and lost market share in China were taken away not only by rivals such as BMW X5, but also by new energy luxury car brands. The latter point deserves more attention.

A new generation of young China consumers used to focus on luxury brands such as BBA and Porsche, such as Macan, which was favored by many middle-class families and young Bai Fumei.

Nowadays, many young consumers have turned to buy high-end brands of new forces in China, and even many young consumers are willing to spend 400,000 to 500,000 yuan, or even higher, to buy a car of new forces in China for early adopters.

Therefore, Porsche is really anxious for many reasons, such as the replacement of Porsche, the competition in the automobile industry and the changes in the luxury car consumption market.

The era of Porsche’s lying win is over.

In the era of traditional fuel vehicles, Porsche is a big winner brand, and its brand positioning is between luxury cars and ultra-luxury brands. When many BBA owners change cars, if the brand is up, but the budget is not enough, Porsche is a main choice.

BYD, which took the lead in the transformation of traditional fuel vehicle brands, also launched luxury and super brands such as Tengshi, Equation Leopard and Wangwang, and became a strong rising force.

In the field of new energy vehicles, the high-end and luxury brands of new energy vehicles represented by Weilai and Ideality have attracted a large part of China consumers, including young consumers.

Owners who can buy a domestic high-end luxury new energy brand will definitely buy a Porsche Macan in terms of consumption power, which will naturally take away Porsche customers.

Therefore, the era of Porsche winning in China market is over.

According to New Product Finance, Porsche can only accelerate its change, development and running in the China market in the future, so as to save the downward trend of sales and rise again.

First, Porsche should put down its posture and face up to multi-faceted competition.

Porsche is a luxury brand, which can stand out from the rest in the era of traditional fuel vehicles. However, in the current China automobile market, the win-win era is over, and Porsche must first put down its posture.

Recently, at the press conference, Porsche clearly listed nine competitors, including Mercedes-Benz and BMW, as well as five rival brands from China, such as Lotus, Zhiji, Polar Star, Weilai and Extreme Krypton.

It seems that Porsche has also begun to face up to China’s rival brands.

Second, Porsche should accelerate the electrification of China automobile market and further accelerate its localization.

Porsche is backed by audi ag, and audi ag is the best in the transformation and development of new energy among all traditional and established car companies. In 2023, the sales volume of pure electric vehicles in audi ag was 771,100, up 34.7% year-on-year, ranking third in the world, including Porsche.

Porsche has launched a brand-new electric Macan, and the first batch of new cars are expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of this year, which still attracts a lot of attention.

Porsche still has brand influence in China market, and consumers will still be willing to buy Porsche plug-in hybrid and pure electric brand models. In the future, Porsche needs to further accelerate its localization.

Third, Porsche needs to be more sincere and sincere in the China market.

There have been many negative news about Porsche in China market. Because of arrogance, consumers have different views on Porsche.

Two years ago, due to the lack of cores, Porsche reduced the number of vehicles owned by China owners, and reduced the electric adjustment function of steering column to "manual steering column". Not only did the promised free upgrade plan not be honored, but the original replacement plan was replaced with a voucher worth 2,300 yuan (the cost of installing electronic steering in 4S stores was about 30,000 yuan), which made the owners angry and gradually evolved into collective rights protection.

Porsche’s double-standard attitude towards domestic and foreign car owners has made many consumers chilling.

Now, China is the largest single market for Porsche. Only by paying enough attention to the China market and showing sincerity can Porsche attract more consumers in China.

In the future, whether in the traditional fuel vehicle market or the pure electric market, Porsche will still be a big player, and its advantages will still be there, but the competitive pressure it will face will be greater and greater.

speed up apply the brakes oil consumption second rice rise Cherish testing Corvette C7 Stingray for others’ dreams. Evaluation editor-Yu Han:

This is a unique sports car, and it should be a sports car that you think will cost millions, but you can actually buy it with a fraction. But its domestic price is several times that of the United States, and when we bought it, our mood was completely different from that of Americans. Even if Corvette is an American sports car, I will give it 10 points for its progress and dream.

Evaluation editor-Shi Muhua:

Culture is hard to understand in different environments. I can’t personally understand what an 8-cylinder naturally aspirated sports car means to Americans. But I clearly know how much I wish we could have our own Corvette.

Evaluation Editor-Hu Zhengyu:

The representative work of American sports car is not perfect, but sexy and grounded. In its birthplace, it is a dream that ordinary people can realize through struggle. As the seventh generation product, C7 Stingray has well continued these family temperament. If you travel to the United States, you should rent one and experience the American dream on the straight route 66.

On June 26, 2018, the Aston Martin family’s new masterpiece DBS Superleggera made a stunning appearance, which announced the return of DBS series and Superleggera elements, among which DBS series came out in 1967, and the named Superleggera part aims to pay tribute to Touring, an Italian body manufacturer who first proposed the concept of ultra-lightweight.　

As the flagship super GT sports car of the family, it will replace the Vanquish S model and upgrade its product strength in an all-round way. In terms of the most eye-catching power, it is equipped with a 5.2-liter V12 twin-turbo engine with a maximum output of 725 HP and a peak torque of 900 Nm. The top speed can reach 340 km/h, which is matched with the ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox, and the acceleration of 100 km takes only 3.4 seconds. With the brand-new active valve and four-out exhaust system, it brings a very powerful exhaust sound to the new car. In order to achieve more precise control, the new car is also equipped with a mechanical limited slip differential and a torque vector distribution system.

The new car has made great efforts in aerodynamics, for example, it adopts the hidden flower-shaped air passage design formed by shark gill vent and front wheel arch and the second generation of "wind blade" technology. A double-layer diffuser inspired by F1 racing cars was also introduced. With these help, the new car can generate 180 kilograms of downforce when driving at the top speed, which is by far the largest production model under Aston Martin. In addition, the new car not only uses lightweight bonded aluminum structure, but also is equipped with forged double wishbone front suspension and multi-link rear suspension. With the support of the latest generation of adaptive damping system, the engine and chassis are provided with three dynamic modes to choose from.

　　[Global Times special correspondent in Russia and Germany Wang Jiabo Aoki Global Times reporter Gu Di Liu Yupeng Yu Xiang] According to the Russian newspaper Kommersant, a spokesman for the Russian Liberal Democratic Party said that at 4 pm on the 8 th, the party held a rally in Manige Square in Moscow to protest the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Belovezh Agreement. Twenty-five years ago, they held a rally in this square to protest against the disintegration of the Soviet Union. The Russian Communist Party said that it would hold a hearing in the small hall of the State Duma to discuss the Belovezh Agreement and Yeltsin’s overall policy. Zyuganov, chairman of the Russian Communist Party, suggested that the Yeltsin Center should be banned from activities in Russia, because it was Yeltsin who caused the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Kashin, vice chairman of the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party, said that a large-scale event will be held on the birthday of Stalin on December 21, during which the Belovezh Agreement will be discussed to denounce the acts that caused the disintegration of a powerful country. However, other political parties, including the ruling United Russia Party, have not announced any activity plans.

　　On December 8, 1991, Shushkevich, then chairman of the Belarusian Supreme Soviet, received Russian President Yeltsin and Ukrainian President kravchuk at the hunting palace near Belovezh and held secret talks. The three men signed the Belovezh Agreement on the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the establishment of the Commonwealth of Independent States, declaring that the Soviet Union no longer exists "according to international law and geopolitical status quo". Then on December 25th, Soviet President Gorbachev announced his resignation, and the Soviet Union officially disintegrated.

　　Russian Interfax news agency reported on the 7th that Gorbachev said in an interview with the agency that the disintegration of the Soviet Union was caused by the personal ambition and power desire of the participants in the Belovezh Agreement. At that time, the Soviet Union might have survived, but he failed to stop those who were eager to split the country. "I am saddened by the disintegration of the Soviet Union. I called for the preservation of the Soviet Union everywhere, but the people remained silent. It is normal for someone to want to be president. At that time, Russian leaders took the lead in splitting the Soviet Union. " Regarding the role played by the West in the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev said that all the faults should not be blamed on the Western countries. When the West saw what happened in the Soviet Union, they were happy to rub their hands there, not only watching, but also participating.

　　According to a poll released by the Levada Center of Russia, an independent investigation agency, 51% of Russians think that the disintegration of the Soviet Union could have been avoided, 56% of the respondents feel sorry for the Soviet Union’s disappearance, and only 29% of the respondents think that the disintegration of the Soviet Union is inevitable. When explaining the reasons for their negative attitude towards the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the two options most recognized by the respondents were that the unified economic system was destroyed (53%) and people lost the feeling that they were citizens of a great country (43%). 29% of the respondents believe that the reason for the disintegration of the Soviet Union is that "the leaders of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus signed the Belovezh Agreement irresponsibly and without foundation", and 23% saw "the conspiracy of external hostile forces" in the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Gora zhdanov, deputy director of the Levada Center, said that although the nostalgia for the Soviet Union in Russian society is decreasing, it is still very common among the elderly.

　　Sputnik news agency & radio said on the 8th that the results of the "Satellite Viewpoint" poll showed that 69% of Germans, 55% of French and 51% of Italians believed that after the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, the United States became the only superpower, but it failed to play the role of a world leader. Only 24% of German respondents, 35% of French respondents and 42% of Italian respondents believe that the United States is qualified for this role.
