8 seasons and 96 issues, "Extreme Challenge" is also an "Extreme Challenge"

In the eighth season of "Extreme Challenge", Dragon TV is using its own "challenging spirit" to meet the challenges of program iteration.

An "infinite loop" sightseeing bus, carrying the members of "Extreme Challenge" to their destination.

The number 8 in the eighth season is similar to the infinite symbol "∞". The show not only cleverly uses the setting of the hit drama "Beginning" at the beginning of the year, but also symbolizes the beginning of the new season, which still hides infinite possibilities…

On June 26, the eighth season of "Extreme Challenge", an inspirational variety show on Oriental Satellite TV, was broadcast. The new season invited Wang Xun, Yue Yunpeng, Jia Nailiang, Guo Jingfei, Huang Minghao, Huang Jingyu, Yang Chaoyue, and Gong Jun to form a new extreme challenge group to jointly start a journey full of joy and challenge.

As a comprehensive N-generation, what kind of "extreme challenge" is behind the eight-season and 96-episode programs?

In the midst of challenges, see laughter and see life

"Pie in the sky", using durian as a bowling ball, throwing golden eggs to those who want to be punished…

The first episode of the program walked into Wuzhizhou Island in Hainan. On this small island full of tropical vacation style, through fun games and faction battles between members, the new and old members embarked on a happy "ice-breaking journey".

"Welcome to the eighth season of Extreme Challenge, you have been eliminated!"

Under the challenge, reversals happen from time to time. The seemingly comfortable safe house has become a reward for the "bad guys", and the members who enter it will be eliminated. In the game "Who is Undercover 008", some members turn against their teammates, and some members forget the mission. Under the rules, some guests give up voting from beginning to end, and use the anti-routine gameplay to lead their teammates to win the "Sharing Good Brothers Combination Award" and complete the challenge together.

Transmitting happiness in the challenge also prompts thinking. It is precisely because member Gong Jun resisted the temptation throughout the process and did not vote for others to be eliminated that the group members finally won together, which also conveys the theme of this season’s "Challenge Together, Toward the Future" – on the basis of passing happiness, we also call on everyone to create a better future, and make the right choice in the face of life choices or temptations.

In the seventh season of "Extreme Challenge", the program combines topics such as the Beijing Olympic Winter Games, poverty reduction, and fire protection that the public cares about to convey the happiness of ordinary people and reflect the social picture of prosperity and development.

In this season, "Extreme Challenge" still draws inspiration from the times and life, and integrates marine protection, rural revitalization, cultural tourism development, seed industry innovation and other topics into a joyous game, enriching the form and content of the program while expanding the expression space of social value.

For example, in the first issue, in addition to the game, the island’s intelligent vacation experience is also impressive, demonstrating the flourishing attitude of Hainan’s cultural tourism industry. At the end of the collective thanks section, the audience was also introduced to the importance of marine ranching.

The content extended by the theme of "the future" is also a major attraction. In the challenge, the show presents a new era by showing the emerging lifestyle, the new development brought by the new business model, etc., and leads the audience to peek into the future – both the future life and the future era.

At the same time, from the perspective of young people, the program not only shows the current young people’s favorite camping, role-playing tabletop games, racing and other topics, but also focuses on strugglers from all walks of life, tells how Chinese wisdom solves global challenges, and shows a vivid "future in progress" through the positive mental outlook of today’s young people.

"Extreme Challenge" of 96 episodes in 8 seasons

"Extreme Challenge has become a part of my life." "This time I’m going to fight back!" "Let go and play, do my best, and try to be the best!" "I’m also that thorny rose!"…

At the beginning of the eighth season, the speeches of several new and old guests made many audiences emotional. As a show that has accompanied the audience for 7 years, from "Extreme Challenge, This is Love", to "River Running, Walking on the Waves", "Together, We Will Sure Win", "Let’s See Happiness", and then to "Challenge Together, Towards the Future", the slogan and theme of "Extreme Challenge" have been changing.

What is constant?

"The spirit of challenge," said Shi Jianing, associate director of the Oriental Satellite TV Center and general director of "Extreme Challenge." "Although there are some small changes every year, we have been trying to keep pace with the times. By combining the current hot topics, the audience can see the beauty and changes of life through walking and challenges, and inspire everyone to have a spirit of extreme challenge."

Eight seasons and 96 episodes are also an "extreme challenge" for the main creative team. Shi Jianing introduced that during the special period, this team, which was nicknamed "Extreme Challenge" and "Drifting Team", did not return home for several months, overcame difficulties and traveled to various places to shoot, worked hard to record the beautiful moments of life, brought laughter and laughter to the audience, and also outlined a corner of the production of domestic variety shows under the epidemic, showing the tenacity and challenging spirit of radio and television people.

In addition to the external "challenges", as a comprehensive N-generation, "Extreme Challenge" also has internal "challenges" – how to maintain long-term vitality and continue to go both ways with the audience?

"None of the content is repeated, and in terms of production difficulty, this is the most difficult show I have ever done," Shi Jianing said. The changes in "Extreme Challenge" have created many problems such as building new members and balancing new and old audiences. As society develops, so does the audience. It is in this process that the show develops and iterates, which means that more current content needs to be injected.

"Every generation of viewers has a constant liking – from grand propositions to new things, what moves them is what resonates with life."

Constant multi-dimensional innovation, adhering to the "spirit of challenge", and continuous attention to society, striving to balance fun and meaningful, may be the source of the vitality of this show.

Shi Jianing said that the challenge at the next stop may be the future.

The man said that Brother Xiao Yang sold fake Moutai in the live stream, and 14 of the 24 bottles were identified as fake! Three Sheep responded: The third-party appraisal agency is not authoritative

  On June 21, the Three Sheep Network passed"Crazy Little Brother Yang – Three Sheep" posted a statement saying that some consumers bought Moutai liquor in the company’s live stream a year ago, went to Moutai’s official anti-counterfeiting office to identify it as true, and were identified as fake by the so-called third-party appraisal studio.

  Three Sheep said that the company has always adhered to the guarantee of genuine products and promoted genuine Moutai wine to consumers in the live stream. So far, the products sold have never been officially identified as counterfeit wine.

  Three Sheep emphasizes that, as a high-value special category, the appraisal of Moutai liquor should be based on the official anti-counterfeiting rights protection phone number announced by Moutai to identify the authenticity of the official appraisal agency where it is located. The appraisal results of any third-party appraisal agency are not authoritative and legal.

  Three Sheep also said that if the Moutai wine purchased in the company’s live stream is officially identified as a counterfeit product, the company will compensate consumers in advance in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, and strictly investigate the legal responsibility of the seller.

  According to the official news of Henan TV station "City Report" on June 20, Mr. Zhang (pseudonym) from Wuhan, Hubei said that in May last year, he bought 10 bottles of Moutai at the "Jiujia Liquor Store" Douyin store under the recommendation of Crazy Brother Yang’s live stream. After being identified as true by the Moutai Anti-Counterfeiting Office, he purchased another 14 bottles for collection. This year, Mr. Zhang saw Moutai’s counterfeiting methods on the short video platform, which made him suspicious of the Moutai wine he snapped up, so he found a third-party platform for identification. As a result, 14 of the 24 bottles of Moutai were fake, and the "Jiujia Liquor Store" Douyin store also showed that it was "returned from the store".

  When the reporter came to Anhui Hefei Three Sheep Group to inquire, the staff said that when they cooperated with the "Jiujia Liquor franchise store" that sold the batch of Moutai, they conducted a specific review of the merchant’s qualifications and product procedures. But because the goods were not sent from their warehouse, there is no guarantee that the merchant will have "adulterated" behavior. Similarly, Mr. Zhang tore off the label and opened the wine box with the consent of the merchant for identification, so there is no way to prove whether the wine has been transferred. If the merchant sells fake wine, they will also hold the merchant accountable.

Many proposals were rejected, and the share price of Zhongju High-tech rose slightly

  The dispute over the company’s shareholding has heated up.

  Reporters He Hongyuan and Chen Sha report

  Markets seem to welcome () "scramble".

  On September 14, the company released the resolution announcement of the second extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in 2022. The meeting discussed five proposals on changing the use of the first share repurchase in 2021, the draft and summary of the 2022 employee stock ownership plan, and the management measures of Zhongju High-tech’s 2022 employee stock ownership plan.

  Among them, the opposition to the first four proposals exceeded 50%, but none of them were passed.

  According to the previous disclosure of the 2022 employee stock ownership plan (draft), the total number of employees participating in the employee stock ownership plan does not exceed 491 (excluding the reserved part), and the share source of the employee stock ownership plan is the company’s repurchase of the special securities account repurchased in the torch high-tech class A shares of common stock, the employee stock ownership plan transfer price is 18.14 yuan/share, the duration of 48 months.

  The draft proposed performance appraisal requirements are: 2022-2024, the corresponding revenue target value is 5.50 billion yuan, 6.30 billion yuan, 8 billion yuan, respectively, an increase of 7.51%, 14.55%, 26.98%, net asset return target value of 13%, 14%, 15%.

  On August 29, when Zhongju High-tech was reviewing the employee stock ownership plan, there was a big controversy. At that time, 9 directors passed the motion with 5 votes in favor, 3 votes against and 1 abstention.

  According to relevant announcements, the dissenters were director Yu Jianhua, director Wan Hequn, and independent director Gan Yaoren. The main reasons for the opposition were unreasonable unlocking conditions, the nature of benefits was greater than the incentive effect, and the controlling shareholders received 1.83% of the voting rights through the committee, which affected the interests of the majority of small and medium shareholders. Exclusive director Qin Zhihua abstained.

  It is worth noting that in the aforementioned plan, the revenue growth targets for 2023 and 2024 exceed the company’s performance expectations.

  Since Yu Jianhua and Wan Hequn both worked within the Torch Group system, it may mean that the opposition was mainly Torch Group at that time, and the agreeing party was mainly Zhongshan Runtian controlled by the major shareholder Baoneng. Behind Torch Group stands the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Torch District, which is also the former major shareholder of Zhongju High-tech.

  In fact, the company’s shareholding dispute has become intense. On September 14, the torch high-tech announcement showed that after the completion of the reduction plan, Zhongshan Runtian accounted for 17.72% of its total share capital, narrowing the shareholding gap with Torch Group to about 5%.

  In terms of performance, Zhongju High-tech is still in the growth range. In the first half of the year, its revenue was 2.652 billion yuan, an increase of 14.52% year-on-year; the net profit attributable to the parent was 313 million yuan, an increase of 11.91% year-on-year.

  On September 15, Zhongju High-tech received 33.07 yuan, an increase of 0.43%.

Confusion: Is concert audio recording okay?

  Recently, a celebrity posted a series of Weibo, expressing his views on whether audio recording, video recording and photography should be banned at concerts, which has aroused widespread discussion. The opinions of netizens vary. Some think that since they have paid for the concert, they should be in charge of themselves, and that taking photos and recording videos is only for sending Moments and should not be restricted. Some think that since they come to listen to live performances, they should respect the requirements of the performers, fully commit themselves, and should not use mobile phones. Some netizens think that audio recording and video recording infringe the copyright of the organizers, but photography is not used for profit, does not violate portrait rights, and prohibiting photography is a bit overkill. Can you record, video or take pictures when watching live performances? How is it defined in law?

  "Note to the audience" is a contract

  On the back of the performance tickets purchased by the audience, most of them are printed with "Audience Instructions", the most common clause of which is "Without permission, audio, video and photography are prohibited on the spot." This type of audience information is actually a format contract between the ticket seller, the ticket buyer and the user. The so-called format contract refers to a contract that is pre-drawn up by one party for repeated use and cannot be negotiated by the other party at the time of signing. Like the tickets we often come into contact with, the "Audience Instructions", "Visiting Instructions", "Park Instructions" and "Passenger Instructions" in the ticket are all format contracts. Because of its wide use, it is generally tacit that after appropriate prompts, the ticket buyer has been informed and approved of this type of contract requirements at the time of ticket purchase.

  Maybe everyone is a bit "talking about the tiger changing color" when it comes to the format contract, but if the party providing the format clause exempts its liability, increases the liability of the other party, and excludes the main rights of the other party, the format clause should be invalid. If the format clause is valid, then when the ticket holder accepts the contract, it should abide by the requirements of the corresponding clause; if it is invalid, the ticket holder is not bound by the invalidation clause. So, in the "Audience Notice", the "No audio, video and photography on the spot without permission" clause is invalid?

  Unauthorized audio and video recordings infringe copyright

  Copyright includes the right of publication, the right of authorship, the right of modification, the right to protect the integrity of the work, the right of reproduction, the right of performance, the right of information network dissemination, the right of filming, the right of compilation and other rights. Article 38 of the Copyright Law of the People’s Republic of China stipulates that performers have the right to license others to broadcast live and publicly transmit their live performances and receive remuneration for their performances; the right to license others to record and receive remuneration for their performances; the right to license others to copy and distribute the audio and video products of their performances and receive remuneration; and the right to license others to disseminate their performances to the public through information networks and receive remuneration. At the same time, Article 47 stipulates that without the permission of the performer, live broadcast or public transmission of his live performance, or recording his performance, is an infringement, and shall, according to the circumstances, bear civil liabilities such as stopping the infringement, eliminating the impact, apologizing, and compensating for losses.

  According to the above legal provisions, in a narrow sense, unauthorized audio and video recording during live performances is an infringement; and in a broad sense, the author believes that static designs such as stage arrangement, performance costume design, and performer modeling during performances also condense the creative work of the organizers, making public the results of a large number of intellectual activities of the organizers of the performance department, and restricting photography are also acts of performers and organizers to protect their own copyrights.

  When the audience purchases tickets to watch the performance, they actually enjoy only the right to watch the artistic performance provided by the performer and the organizer, and do not obtain the authorization to copy, record and disseminate the performance. The above format clause does not exclude the main rights of the audience, just as when visiting a museum, there are some exhibits that can only be appreciated and not allowed to be photographed due to the fact that the copyright has not expired.

  Therefore, whether from the perspective of copyright protection, or from the perspective of the legality and rationality of format contracts, audiences should abide by the regulations prohibiting audio recording, video recording, and photography. Especially now that live broadcast software is very popular, many live audiences broadcast live performances through software platforms without permission, which directly infringes the copyright of performers.

  Due to the above reasons, it is recommended that the general audience carefully read the "Audience Instructions" when watching live performances such as concerts, concerts, and dramas, abide by relevant regulations, do not use cameras, mobile phones, and other electronic devices to record, respect the intellectual achievements and legitimate rights and interests of others, and at the same time bring themselves a better viewing experience.

  Unauthorized photography or infringement of portrait rights

  Does taking photos at concerts infringe upon the image rights of celebrities? When it comes to portrait rights, everyone is not unfamiliar with it. Article 100 of the General Principles of the Civil Law of the People’s Republic of China stipulates: "Citizens enjoy portrait rights, and without their consent, they shall not use their portraits for profit."

  But it does not mean that other people’s portraits can be used at will without the purpose of profit. Article 120 of the General Principles of the Civil Law also stipulates: "If a citizen’s right to name, portrait, reputation, and honor has been infringed, he has the right to demand that the infringement be stopped, his reputation be restored, the impact be eliminated, and an apology be made, and he may demand compensation for the loss." In fact, the right to portrait, like the right to name, is an exclusive right. Without his permission, others cannot use it at will. That is to say, in the absence of illegal obstacles (such as retention of evidence, coverage, and the issuance of a "wanted notice" by the public security organ, etc.), the production, reproduction, dissemination, and exhibition of other people’s portraits shall be subject to his permission. Otherwise, the right to portrait of others shall be infringed.

  Malicious processing and defacement of other people’s portraits not only infringes the right of portrait, but also constitutes damage to the right of reputation. For example, the unauthorized use of celebrity photos to make peripheral products for sale, advertising, etc., are all acts of infringement of portrait rights. In addition, most of the popular emojis are made without their consent, which is also an act of infringement of portrait rights. If they are used for commercial purposes, they also need to bear corresponding compensation liabilities.

  It should be noted that in order to protect the public’s right to know, artists, well-known public officials, etc., as public figures, have the obligation to tolerate a certain degree of photojournalism in public. And for shooting that is not for the purpose of photojournalism, under the current laws of our country, there is still some controversy as to whether it should be regarded as an infringement of portrait rights. However, without permission, shooting in the private life of public figures, whether for news purposes or simply shooting without dissemination, is a candid shooting and may be investigated for civil liability. In daily life, everyone should know how to protect their privacy rights, portrait rights, and reputation rights, and at the same time respect the legitimate rights and interests of public figures.

Alternative to "old man music": new energy vehicles leverage the rural market

  How big is the market for new energy vehicles going to the countryside? Recently, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (hereinafter referred to as the China Automobile Association) issued the "Notice on the Application of New Energy Vehicles Going to the Countryside in 2022" (hereinafter referred to as the "Notice"). According to this document, in order to continuously eliminate old and discontinued models and promote more new energy models that adapt to rural consumption characteristics into the model catalog for going to the countryside, car companies need to make a unified declaration for the models participating in the going to the countryside. The deadline for declaration is March 10, 2022.

  Fu Bingfeng, vice-chairperson and secretary-general of the China Automobile Association, said: "This is a critical period for the promotion of new energy vehicles. It is very important to sink into the fourth and fifth tier markets and help rural consumption upgrade. This is an incremental market."

  According to the data of the China Automobile Association, the cumulative sales volume of new energy vehicles to the countryside in 2021 was 1.068 million, an increase of 169.2% year-on-year. In addition, among the 66 models of new energy vehicles to the countryside in 2021, the vehicles were mainly small and mini vehicles with a price of less than 100,000 yuan and a cruising range of less than 300 kilometers. It is generally believed in the industry that the small and micro models of new energy vehicles to the countryside will replace low-speed electric vehicles such as "Laotou Le" and have good prospects in the rural market.

  Sinking or normalization, replacing rural "old man music"

  In recent years, the income growth and consumption expenditure growth of rural residents in China are faster than those of urban residents, and their motorized travel needs are urgent, but the overall vehicle penetration rate is low. The electric vehicle utilization rate of rural residents is less than 1%, which is only 1/3 of that of urban residents, and has sufficient room for growth.

  In the industry’s view, the current auto growth area in our country has begun to expand and transfer from the east to the central and western regions, from first- and second-tier cities to third- and fourth-tier cities, and from cities to rural areas. According to the "China Rural Electric Vehicle Travel Research" released by the China Electric Vehicle 100 People’s Association, by 2030, the number of cars per thousand people in rural areas in our country will reach 159, and the total number of cars will be 70.01 million; this figure also includes the rigid demand of consumers in rural areas for the first purchase, and also includes the replacement demand for low-speed electric vehicles. The industry believes that the electrification of the rural market has great potential.

  From the demand of third- and fourth-tier cities and rural markets, consumers travel radius is small, more than 80% of households overall average daily travel mileage of less than 50 kilometers, short and medium range new energy models will be able to meet the needs of mainstream consumer groups; from the product and price span, the mileage of 120 kilometers to 400 kilometers, the price of the model between 30,000 – 80,000 yuan is more in line with market demand; from the rural market as a whole, due to the driving license, driver’s license and other restrictions, commonly known as "old man Le" low-speed electric vehicles in the rural market more popular.

  Therefore, among the 66 models of new energy vehicles to the countryside in 2021, the vehicles are mainly small and mini cars with a price of less than 100,000 yuan and a cruising range of less than 300 kilometers, and the car companies make profits ranging from 3,000 yuan to 8,000 yuan.

  Xu Haidong, deputy chief engineer of the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, believes that new energy vehicles have done better in terms of quality, handling, etc., with higher comfort and safety. The low cost of the A00 class, which focuses on the rural market, has also been highlighted to the greatest extent.

  The industry generally believes that A00-level new energy passenger vehicles are a substitute for low-speed electric vehicles such as "Old Man Le", and have a good development prospect in the rural market. Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the National Passenger Car Market Information Association, also has the same view. He believes that A00-level new energy passenger vehicles have a good market prospect in the rural market and can also help improve the travel environment in rural areas.

  Li Jinyong, president of the New Energy Vehicle Branch of the Automobile Chamber of Commerce of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, once said, "In 2021, unrestricted cities contributed 70% of the sales of new energy vehicles, of which 58% of users purchased A00-class electric vehicles. A00-class electric vehicles will take the lead in replacing fuel vehicles of the same level based on the advantages of more than half the travel cost of fuel vehicles. If the lack of core is not serious, the production and sales will reach 1.50 million to 2 million vehicles in 2022."

  The industry believes that, although there are fewer A00-class models currently available, due to the fact that they have attracted more attention under the impetus of new energy going to the countryside, car companies are also harvesting sales performance in new energy vehicles going to the countryside, so there may be more products developed for third- and fourth-tier and township rural areas.

  The industry expects that in the next few years, if the motorized travel needs of rural residents can be met, it is expected that a 500 billion-scale super car market will be successfully leveraged, among which small economical electric vehicles will become the main new products in the rural market, or will be formed in third- and fourth-tier cities and rural areas.

  Sales of new energy vehicles to the countryside are growing faster than the overall market

  2022 is already the third year for new energy vehicles to enter the countryside.

  In July 2020, MIIT, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued the "Notice on Launching Activities of New Energy Vehicles to the Countryside", which proposed to carry out activities of new energy vehicles to the countryside in China; thus also opened the curtain of new energy vehicles to the countryside. In March 2021, MIIT, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Comprehensive Department of the National Energy Administration jointly issued the "Notice on Launching Activities of New Energy Vehicles to the Countryside in 2021", which made it clear that activities of new energy vehicles to the countryside would be carried out from March to December. In 2021, the area of new energy vehicles to the countryside will be further expanded, from 5 provinces in 2020 to 11 provinces.

  From the recommended list of two batches of new energy vehicles going to the countryside in 2021, the main enterprises and models are independent brands and new car-making forces, including SAIC Motor Group, Dongfeng Motor, Great Wall Motor, BYD, Jianghuai Automobile, Chery Automobile, Weimar Automobile, and Zero Run Automobile.

  According to the data of the China Automobile Association, the cumulative sales volume of new energy vehicles to the countryside in 2021 was 1.068 million, an increase of 169.2% year-on-year, and the growth rate was about 10 percentage points higher than that of the overall new energy vehicle market.

  From the beginning of 2022, new energy vehicles going to the countryside will once again be included in the key tasks of various ministries and commissions.

  In early January, the "Opinions" jointly issued by the National Energy Administration, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and the National Rural Revitalization Bureau mentioned that it is necessary to guide charging business operators and new energy automobile enterprises to build charging and swapping power stations in large villages and towns, tourist attractions, and public parking lots. Priority is given to promoting the use of electric vehicles in official vehicles, buses, and taxis in counties, and promoting the application of new energy vehicles in tourist attractions and characteristic towns. Promote new energy vehicles to become an important part of rural microgrids, and vigorously support local development of new energy vehicles and home appliances to the countryside.

  On January 21, the National Development and Reform Commission and other seven departments issued the "Implementation Plan for Promoting Green Consumption", which proposes to carry out in-depth activities of new energy vehicles to the countryside, encourage automobile companies to develop and promote new energy vehicles that are suitable for the travel needs of rural residents, of high quality and low price, advanced and applicable, and promote the improvement of the rural operation and maintenance service system. Reasonably guide consumers to purchase lightweight, miniaturized, and low-emission passenger vehicles.

  According to the latest "Notice" issued by the China Automobile Association, the declared models of new energy vehicles going to the countryside still need to meet four conditions. First, the product quality is stable and suitable for rural consumption scenarios. Second, the price range of the model is basically the same as that of rural consumers. Third, there will be no suspension of production or sales of models in the next six months. Fourth, there is a suitable after-sales and sales network.

  The shortcomings need to be made up, and the supporting measures should also be submerged into the countryside

  It is generally believed that there are independent courtyards in rural areas, and the charging demand of new energy vehicles is relatively easy to meet. Consumers in rural areas can charge at home through slow charging. However, with the increase of vehicle mileage and driving radius, public charging piles also have an addressable market demand in rural areas.

  At present, domestic charging piles are mainly concentrated in first- and second-tier cities, while the proportion of public charging piles in rural areas has been hovering at a low level; at the same time, the power grid infrastructure in rural areas is relatively weak. Cui Dongshu said that the entire infrastructure and supporting services in the rural market are still lacking, and a large number of charging equipment needs to be built.

  In addition, the "Rural Electrification Survey Report" released by the China Electric Vehicle 100 People’s Association pointed out that although there are many models and versions of new energy passenger vehicles on sale in the domestic market, the sales of new energy vehicles to rural areas are still very limited. Existing models are greatly misaligned with the expectations of rural residents, and at the same time cannot meet the demand for light cargo in rural areas.

  Not only that, after-sales is also a major problem. From the perspective of after-sales network installation, fuel vehicles are more complete, while the after-sales network of pure electric vehicles is more complete in first- and second-tier cities, while rural areas are still relatively lacking.

  Xu Haidong said, "Car companies should further understand the needs of rural consumers, do a good job in cost control and quality control; in the current situation with a small number of outlets, do a good job in after-sales services and build infrastructure in rural areas."

  In addition, the level of subsidies will also become a factor affecting the deployment of new energy vehicles to the countryside. Xu Haidong analyzed that there is currently a lack of directly quantified state subsidies; while local government subsidies vary, and many fuel vehicles and new energy subsidies are not separated, and the time is not uniform. All of the above will reduce the degree of incentive for consumers.

  Although there are many shortcomings in new energy vehicles that need to be filled, it is undeniable that the third- and fourth-tier markets and rural markets are small in size but have great potential. They are one of the future incremental markets for new energy vehicles and will become a "booster" for the growth of the new energy vehicle market.
