How to improve the battery life of Huawei’s HarmonyOS system mobile phone How to improve the battery life of Huawei’s HarmonyOS system mobile phone [detailed explanation]

  HarmonyOS system was introduced by Huawei, and many friends have updated their experience. Dear friends may not know how to improve the battery life of Huawei HarmonyOS system mobile phones. Xiaobian is very happy to solve this problem for everyone, and then I will provide you with an analysis of the method of improving battery life. Xiaobian hopes that this method can help you.

  1. After upgrading, the equipment with fast power consumption needs to be "digested"

  After the upgrade, some self-optimization and adaptation actions of the system may lead to the machine heating and fast power consumption. It is safe to use it, and it will recover itself after a period of time. It is recommended to charge for more than one hour during the idle time, and the system will be optimized once during the charging period to ensure the rapid adaptation of mobile phone applications.

  2. Self-starting management is unnecessary and not self-starting.

  Self-startup is allowed by default after the application is installed. If there are many self-startup applications, they will also consume power when running in the background, and unnecessary applications can be turned off for self-startup to extend battery life.

  Set the path: enter the mobile phone housekeeper APP→ Application startup management → Turn off all automatic management, only set the necessary applications as automatic management, such as instant messaging applications, mail applications, etc., and other non-essential applications are not allowed to have background activities.

  3. Turn on the off-screen display and touch display mode.

  Touch display mode means that the off-screen pattern will be displayed only after touching the screen. Compared with turning on the off-screen display all day, the battery life will be correspondingly increased under touch display. The opening method of touch display mode: setting → Desktop and wallpaper → Off-screen display → Display mode → Touch the display.

  4, low battery mode to extend the battery life.

  When the power of your equipment is low and there is no way to replenish it in time, you can start the low power mode (or power saving mode), and the system will automatically optimize the operation and extend the battery life of the equipment.

  Opening method of low battery mode (or power saving mode): Set → Battery → Low battery mode (or power saving mode).

Flash share price breaks: the valuation has shrunk dramatically, and the customer unit price has been declining. How can the Red Sea competition break through?

  Shi Zifu, Harbor Business Watch

  In the sub-field of matching in the same city, flash delivery is usually regarded as a leading participant in the industry. However, this market is highly competitive, and only the well-known SF City, JD.COM Hours and Dada Seconds are not small rivals.

  On October 4th, Flash (FLX.US) was successfully listed on NASDAQ, with an issue price of US$ 16.5 /ADS and a total fundraising of US$ 66 million. As of 9: 38 EDT on October 8th, the stock price of Flash dropped to about US$ 15. According to Tianyancha, the domestic operation entity of Flash is Beijing Tongcheng Bing Technology Co., Ltd..

  01

  Achieve profitability in 2023.

  Official website introduced that Flash Delivery is a one-to-one express delivery platform in the same city’s instant delivery industry, providing personal and corporate customers with special express delivery services on demand. The brand of Flash Delivery is FlashEx or Flash Delivery, which means instant delivery.

  According to the data of iResearch, in terms of revenue in 2023, Flash is the largest independent on-demand express service provider in China. In 2023, the market share of Flash in China’s independent on-demand express service is about 33.9%.

  Different from the delivery service provider that adopts the order consolidation mode, Flash initiated and always focused on the special delivery mode of on-demand delivery. For each order, Flash will assign a special Flash-Rider to pick up the order and deliver it to the recipient without merging multiple orders or changing hands on the route.

  As of June 30, 2024, Flash has about 2.7 million registered riders, and its service coverage has been extended to 295 cities in China.

  From 2021-2023 and January-June 2024 (hereinafter referred to as the reporting period), Flash Delivery fulfilled 158.6 million, 213.4 million, 270.7 million and 138.1 million orders respectively; In the current period, the company realized revenue of RMB 3,039.8 million, RMB 4,002.7 million, RMB 4,528.8 million and RMB 2,284.5 million respectively, and realized gross profit of RMB 189 million, RMB 259 million, RMB 395 million and RMB 257 million respectively, with gross profit margins of 6.2%, RMB 6.5%, RMB 8.7% and RMB 11.3 respectively.

  It is not difficult to understand the reason for the increase in revenue, which is related to the increase in the company’s orders in the current period. In terms of net profit, flash delivery generated a net loss of 291 million yuan and 180.4 million yuan in 2021 and 2022 respectively, and realized a net profit of 110 million yuan (US$ 15.205 million) and 124 million yuan (1702.0) in 2023 and January-June 2024 respectively.

  For the realization of profit in 2023, the flash payment is attributed to the increase of other income caused by the increase of government subsidies. In 2023, other income from flash delivery was 74.3 million yuan (US$ 10.2 million), compared with 9.2 million yuan in the same period in 2022.

  In the revenue composition of Flash-Riders, the salary and incentive paid to Flash-Riders are the biggest components of the company’s revenue cost. During the reporting period, it was 2.751 billion yuan, 3.614 billion yuan, 3.975 billion yuan and 1.951 billion yuan respectively, accounting for 90.5%, 90.3%, 87.8% and 85.4% of the total income of the current period respectively.

  In addition, the attention of the outside world is high. During the reporting period, the average income of a single order delivered by flash was 19.2 yuan, 18.8 yuan, 16.7 yuan and 16.5 yuan respectively, showing an obvious downward trend. Although the order volume is rising, the continuous decline of single income is still likely to affect the overall operating performance of the company.

  02

  Downgrading various fees, more than 8,000 complaints.

  The operating expenses of flash delivery include sales and marketing expenses, general and management expenses and research and development expenses. In the total cost, sales and marketing expenses account for the vast majority.

  According to the prospectus, the sales and marketing expenses of flash delivery mainly include: advertising and marketing expenses, staff costs related to sales and marketing functions, rent and depreciation, and advertising expenses mainly include endorsement fees and advertising fees. During the reporting period, the sales and marketing expenses of flash delivery were 272 million yuan, 240 million yuan, 188 million yuan and 89.738 million yuan respectively, accounting for 8.9%, 6.0%, 4.2% and 3.9% of the corresponding income respectively.

  General and administrative expenses of flash delivery mainly include: salaries and related costs of employees engaged in general company functions, professional fees and other general company expenses, as well as expenses related to the use of facilities and equipment. During the reporting period, the company’s general and administrative expenses were 113 million yuan, 103 million yuan, 105 million yuan and 45.505 million yuan respectively, accounting for 3.7%, 2.6%, 2.3% and 2.0% of the corresponding income respectively.

  In addition, R&D expenses mainly include: staff costs, rent and depreciation related to R&D functions, and other expenses related to R&D functions. During the reporting period, the R&D expenses of Flash were 105 million yuan, 119 million yuan, 90.847 million yuan and 41.306 million yuan, respectively, accounting for 3.4%, 3.0%, 2.0% and 1.8% of the revenue in the corresponding period.

  In the first half of 2024, Flash reduced the sales and marketing expenses, general and administrative expenses, and research and development expenses, by 8.56%, 13.17% and 18.6% respectively compared with the previous year. Some market participants told Harbor Business Watch that it is not ruled out that this year is facing fierce market competition and the consumption environment is weak. In order to improve profitability and IPO, Flash delivery has carried out all-round cost control.

  Flash accounts payable mainly refer to the remuneration payable to Flash-Riders. By the end of 2022, 2023 and the end of the first half of 2024, the accounts payable for flash were 356.1 million yuan, 339.8 million yuan and 314.6 million yuan respectively. In the same period, the company’s cash and cash equivalents were 622 million yuan, 699 million yuan and 712 million yuan respectively.

  In 2021 and 2022, the net cash used in flash business activities was 194.9 million yuan and 86.8 million yuan respectively, and in 2023, the net cash provided by flash business activities was 45.7 million yuan.

  In the first half of 2024, the net cash provided by Flash business activities was 20.7 million yuan (US$ 2.8 million). Flash mentioned that the company’s main source of liquidity was equity financing income. In March, April and May, 2021, the company obtained 747.8 million RMB from D2 financing. As of June 30, 2024, Flash had cash and cash equivalents of 711.7 million yuan (US$ 97.9 million).

  Flash delivery mentioned in the prospectus that the company does not employ any lightning riders, and provides special express service for individual and corporate customers by relying on Flash-Riders. The company usually regards such lightning riders as independent contractors.

  In this context, there are also many consumer complaints about flash delivery. As of October 8, the keyword "flash delivery" was searched on the black cat complaint platform, with a total of 8,128 complaints, and 5,744 complaints have been completed. In the last 30 days, there were 213 complaints, with an average of 7.1 complaints per day. Consumer complaints focus on time delay, overlord clauses, arbitrary deduction of service fees, unreasonable punishment of riders, and unauthorized cancellation of orders.

  Valuation has shrunk dramatically, how to break through the competition in the Red Sea?

  Tianyancha shows that at the beginning of its establishment in March 2014, Flash received millions of RMB angel round financing from Jingwei Venture Capital; In June of the same year, the company also received millions of dollars in Series A financing from Jingwei Venture Capital and CDH Investment. In July and August, 2015, Flash completed $50 million in Series B financing and Series B+ financing respectively, with investors including Jiuding Investment, Light Source Growth Fund and Tiantu Investment.

  In February and June of 2017, Flash completed the C and C+ rounds of financing respectively, and the transaction amount of both rounds was USD 50 million. In August, 2017, August, 2018 and March, 2021, Flash completed the D, D+ and D++ rounds of financing respectively, among which the investors in the D+ round of financing included Haisong Capital, Wuyue Capital, Yuanxing Capital, Haina Asia Venture Capital, Shunwei Capital, Changbai Xing Capital, Shunliang Investment, Hearst Capital and Light Source Venture Capital, with a transaction amount of 60 million.

  The investors in the flash D++ financing include Shunzhi Capital, Wuyue Capital, Haina Asia Venture Capital Fund, Tiantu Investment, Haisong Capital, AlphaSquare Group, Qiyuan Investment Axiom Asia Private Capital, Qian Shan Capital and Zhongcai Capital, and the transaction amount reached 125 million US dollars.

  However, in the instant delivery market, flash delivery faces a lot of market competition.

  In the field of traditional logistics and distribution, SF Express’s SF Express delivery, running errands, and helping to buy services, with an average of one hour in the whole city; JD.COM’s instant retail business is aimed at consumers’ JD.COM Hours, and in May 2024, JD.COM Hours and other brands were upgraded to "JD.COM Seconds Delivery"; Dada Group’s Dada seconds to send help, help to send, run errands, 1 hour; Hungry? Hummingbird, its real-time logistics platform, also provides consumers with comprehensive life services such as home catering service, supermarket service, help buy and help deliver.

  In addition, after the completion of the D++ round of financing in March 2021, the valuation of flash delivery reached 2 billion US dollars (equivalent to about 14 billion yuan). According to the Hurun Global Unicorn List in 2024, the flash valuation is about 7 billion yuan, down about 40% from 2021. Up to now, the flash market value is about $1.078 billion.

  According to the Research Report on Instant Distribution Industry in China released by iResearch, the scale of the instant distribution industry will be about 341 billion yuan in 2023, and it is estimated that the scale of the industry will exceed 810 billion yuan in 2028.

  Mo Daiqing, director and senior analyst of the online retail department of the E-commerce Research Center of NetEconomy & Society, pointed out that the competition in the instant delivery market is becoming more and more fierce. For example, Dada Group and SF Express have been successfully listed in the same city, and the rookie also announced to upgrade its express delivery service in the same city and launched the "half-day service". Backed by giants such as JD.COM, SF Express and Ali, they have strong financial support and business resources. In addition, there are some new "showstopper". For example, last year, the cargo Lala announced the online errands business; Didi also launched Didi errands service; Gaode Map announced that it has cooperated with a number of instant delivery companies to provide errands through its platform; Tik Tok, Aauto Quicker, Oriental Selection, etc. are also accelerating the trial of instant retail.

  Although it has been successfully listed, on the one hand, its profitability is under great pressure, and on the other hand, how to successfully break through in the Red Sea industry has also been tested.

Demystifying Xiaomi’s ecological chain: Xiaomi has invested in 55 entrepreneurial teams, and four of them have a valuation of over 1 billion US dollars.

Xiaomi once said that he would copy 100 millet in five years. According to Sun Ran, a reporter from China Business News, after two years’ operation, there are 55 Xiaomi eco-chain enterprises, and there are four unicorns with a valuation of more than one billion dollars. Lei Jun scored 99.99 points.

Xiaomi is famous for making explosions, and its recent product logic is still the same. In the case of giving birth to four small unicorns, it is a big unicorn with a valuation of 46 billion US dollars. Therefore, in the 16,000-word long article, Tiger Sniff only picked two parts: the explosion logic and the fate of unicorns to help readers quickly understand the Xiaomi ecological chain.

Liu De, head of Xiaomi Eco-chain and co-founder of Xiaomi, believes that eco-chain investment is the value, methodology and existing resources of products exported by Xiaomi, including e-commerce platform, marketing team, brand, etc., and builds an aircraft carrier fleet around itself. In finding and screening the invested team and locking in the field, Xiaomi follows a complete set of logic:

First, the market in a specific field is large enough to play the demographic dividend model of the Internet; Second, the products in this field have serious shortcomings in cost performance and quality, and there is a chance to be transformed; Third, the products can be iterated or have consumables to ensure that the company’s durability is concerned by the market; Fourth, the product users match the characteristics of Xiaomi’s 150 million user groups (concentrated in 18-35 years old, with 70% of science and technology men), and it is easy to detonate by using Xiaomi platform; Fifth, the technology is excellent, and a professional team like "Niu Dao" is used to do "killing chickens". For example, the developer in mi band is actually a mobile phone team; Sixth, we share common values with Xiaomi, do not make quick money, and have the desire to make new domestic products.

This set of screening criteria corresponds to 80% of mass consumer users in the market. "The Internet is a demographic dividend business and is not suitable for niche markets. In a mature economic system, two or three enterprises should monopolize 80% of the market. What Xiaomi wants to do is to make the middle class live a decent life and become a national enterprise with reasonable price and good quality. The remaining 20% of luxury goods and features are not considered by Xiaomi. " Liu De said.

Strictly speaking, Liu De relies on a set of military theories to control Xiaomi ecological chain enterprises-precision strikes and small-scale special forces operations. The former pursues single product explosion and mass sales, while the latter pursues small-scale surprise attack and counter-attack.

Explosion logic

Understanding the above can help us better understand the explosion logic of Xiaomi and its ecological chain. They must highly recognize this product logic of Xiaomi to become an ecological chain enterprise of Xiaomi:

In Xiaomi’s product logic, what Xiaomi wants to do is not the product with the highest technical content, but the product that can meet the basic needs of 80% of the public and achieve the best cost performance. Therefore, it is necessary to define the product accurately.

In Su Jun’s view, traditional enterprises develop products by trial and error. First, they put in dozens of models, which one sells well, and then they produce more and invest more resources. The whole management system, management system and even data are standardized and healthy, which also disperses risks, but it lacks one thing, that is, the precise definition of the product side.

Take the air purifier as an example. There are many products on the market, but there is actually only one "public version" product. It is a fan plus an Archimedes curve duct, and the front and rear air inlets and the top air outlets are basically a routine. This is true from a technical point of view, but from the product experience, it is a piece of "furniture". To be integrated into the family, the appearance must be beautiful. Moreover, domestic home appliance enterprises still use the operation logic established by Japanese home appliance enterprises. For example, Japanese people will read the instructions carefully after buying products, and the instructions are still very thick, which is the habit of Japanese people. However, this kind of operational logic is very different from the current mobile Internet era. "Should have changed, and it is easy to change. Do not change because there is no pursuit. "

Xiaomi’s "precise definition" and "aiming at a little punching" are risky, but Su Jun believes that the product manager of Xiaomi system has enough confidence in the user experience, industry situation and the definition of good products to avoid this risk. "Sometimes we are absolutely confident that this product is what consumers want."

In fact, the product managers and directors in the Xiaomi Eco-chain team have a great decision on the definition of products and whether they can finally go public. Before the product comes out, it will go through two or three rounds of trial and internal spit. "The internal spit group is very powerful, and sometimes a product will be smashed to pieces." Many products in the Xiaomi ecological chain that failed to reach 80% satisfaction in internal testing were killed before listing. In Su Jun’s view, this is actually doing hardware with the idea of doing software, running in small steps and iterating quickly.

"Without 1 million units, I failed. The single product (annual sales volume) must also be guaranteed at least between 1 million and 10 million units. " This is the standard for Liu De, the head of Xiaomi Ecological Chain, to measure the success of a member enterprise."Eco-chain companies should be the first in the world in every field, and the second is fine, but it is no problem to be the first in China."

After two years of business, the Xiaomi mobile power supply made by Zimi sold 20 million units in 2015, ranking first in the world among similar products. Another Huami, which makes bracelets, sold 13 million bracelets in 2015, and it is also approaching the number one position in the world. Liu De thinks it is not difficult to become the world’s number one. "When you are based on a dividend market, you should have the number one base in the world."

Single product, mass production and explosion are the product logic that Xiaomi eco-chain enterprises follow together: they focus on a single product line, aim at 80% of the mass consumer goods market, sell high-configuration products at a low price close to the cost, and strive to reach the first position in the sub-sector within two or three years.Xiaomi saw clearly that the opportunity of the Internet model comes from the demographic dividend. Therefore, in this logic, scale is the core of everything, whether it is for profit or for maintaining benign operation.

Xiaomi requires every eco-enterprise to agree with the values of "don’t make quick money, don’t make huge profits and pay attention to quality".At the beginning, Su Jun set the price of 899 yuan, which was based on a set of "assuming success formula", that is, the cost of millions of sets of sales that could be imagined, plus the operating cost.

For example,

Zhang Feng, CEO of Zimi Technology, takes Xiaomi mobile power supply as an example. The average cost of 50 million units is much lower than that of 500,000 units and 5 million units. Assuming that a power supply (profit) costs 1 yuan money, there may be a profit of 30 million to 50 million yuan. If the profit rate is 10% and 5 million units are sold, there will be a profit of 20 million to 30 million yuan.

The decreasing cost effect brought by scale is one reason, and it is also very important to "cooperate" with the supply chain in a benign way. Before entering the Xiaomi ecological chain, Zhang Feng was the general manager of Inventec, a Xiaomi mobile phone OEM factory, and had been in the supply chain circle for more than ten years. When Xiaomi Mobile Power Supply was first introduced, 69 yuan’s pricing plan could not be formed without the support of a bunch of suppliers. In the eyes of many people in the industry, it is the unspoken rule of the industry that hardware manufacturers cut prices by squeezing the supply chain. However, Zhang Feng believes that "every expense of long-term cooperative suppliers is the same as their own, and their efficiency is our efficiency."

In the off-season, purple rice will allow manufacturers to continue production and build a part of their own inventory to take risks. "The plan we gave them is not two or three months, but six months, and their personnel should be kept stable. When machines and people are running, the efficiency is improved, the efficiency is improved, and the processing cost is reduced. "

At the same time, the realization of the cost-effective model also depends on the design ideas of Xiaomi products. Xiaomi enterprises have cut off all unnecessary functions in their products and the expenses they bring. This is related to Xiaomi’s positioning. What it wants to do is not the product with the highest technical content, but the product that can meet the basic needs of 80% of the public and achieve the best cost performance. Corresponding to this set of design ideas, Xiaomi Eco-enterprise does not use sophisticated "black technology", but mature industrial-grade solutions and accessories, which avoids the high cost of becoming a laboratory product.


The fate of unicorns

Most of Xiaomi’s investments are intelligent hardware entrepreneurs with traditional enterprise backgrounds, and their tolerance for price is much lower than Xiaomi’s. Therefore, when they run in with Xiaomi’s investment team, the most painful and tormenting thing for them is product pricing, but the price/performance ratio is the biggest weapon of destruction for Xiaomi and its eco-chain enterprises.

How to run in between eco-chain enterprises and Xiaomi;

Several Xiaomi eco-chain entrepreneurs have used the words "torture", "force" and "pain", especially in the pricing process. The earliest market price of the cooperative model of Ninebot and Xiaomi was 14,900 yuan, and the price was set at 2,999 yuan when negotiating with Xiaomi in the early stage. Gao Lufeng thought this was a very "millet" pricing style, but he didn’t expect it to be just the beginning. "Chatting and chatting, I don’t know when I started running for 1900 yuan." He recalled.

What does it mean to cut the price of 1000 yuan again? According to Ninebot’s previous manufacturing experience, such a price is almost impossible to achieve.

Therefore, on the premise of ensuring safety and performance, the team finally carried out a lot of algorithm optimization to improve efficiency, and replaced many high-precision parts with high prices and low production with mature industrial-grade devices and solutions with high prices and low prices. Gao Lufeng said: "We are very clear that basically no one in the industry can achieve this level of price. This is a conscience production, which is basically the cost price. " Xiaomi’s support through the supply chain is also an indispensable condition for the realization of this "floor price". "For example, like LG batteries, with our original production capacity and bargaining power, it is difficult to talk about good prices. The Xiaomi ecological chain took us to talk, and soon the price was’ beaten’."

Like Ninebot, Yeelight, the bedside lamp brand in Xiaomi ecological chain, has also experienced this "bargaining" process. Jiang Zhaoning, the founder of the company, said that the original price of Yeelight in 500 yuan was cut to 299 yuan. However, according to the original sales method, channel and advertising expenses accounted for at least 50% of the selling price, and this part of the expenses was covered by Xiaomi’s existing e-commerce channels and marketing team after cooperation with Xiaomi.

Chen Xiaoping, the founder of Yunmi Technology, was born in a traditional household appliance enterprise. He revealed that taking water purifier products as an example, the cost of the traditional household appliance industry only accounts for one-third to one-sixth of the retail price. But in the face of Xiaomi’s cost pricing method, they still experienced some struggles.

Gao Lufeng later imagined that even if the price of the product was set at 2999 yuan at the beginning, it would be subversive to the balance car market. Even if the price was higher in 500 yuan, there would be a net profit for 500 yuan, but there was no assumption in business. "If the price was not hard enough for yourself, Ninebot would not be as unique as it is now."

Ninebot may be the most experienced enterprise in the whole ecological chain for the attack of Xiaomi’s cost-effective model. This understanding stems from the strong contrast between two fates: on the one hand, Ninebot quickly opened up the volume of the balance car market under the transformation of Xiaomi; On the other hand, Segway, an industry tycoon, has always taken the mid-to-high-end route, entrenched in enterprise-level and niche markets. However, due to its high cost and eclipsed performance, it was eventually taken over by Ninebot. Therefore, Wang Ye, another founder of Ninebot, shouted the slogan very early: Don’t be the second Segway, be a consumer product.

For eco-chain enterprises, the biggest difficulty is not to straighten out the price, but to pass the product manager of Xiaomi and even Lei Jun before the product goes on the market. Jiang Zhaoning didn’t adapt to it at first. "Sometimes it takes two to three months for internal testing and public testing to add up. We have developed products for American customers before, and we have never suffered such torture."

Ninebot’s most uneasy and fastest-growing period is also the eve of the listing of the No.9 balance car. That product was originally scheduled to be launched on July 21, 2015, but one day in June, after seeing the prototype, Lei Jun thought that the appearance and many details did not reach the extreme he requested. "Ray always commanded, we basically didn’t resist, and the appearance was all over again. It was officially released on October 19 th. " Gao Lufeng said.

During the three months after Lei Jun proposed the revision, more than a dozen designers of Ninebot moved their computers to work in a conference room on the first floor of Xiaomi Company every day. "That stage was particularly painful. Our industrial design team completely collapsed after getting the instructions to reinvent the appearance." Gao Lufeng said.

The effect is also obvious. Under the impetus of Xiaomi, Ninebot, a startup company established only three years ago, acquired Segway, the originator of the balance car with a history of 16 years. The success of Ninebot is Liu De’s masterpiece. "Give it a push and you will buy Segway". Zhimi Technology and Huami Technology were both valued at nearly $300 million in the last round of financing, and now they are growing exponentially. Ninebot’s latest valuation has also risen to $1.2 billion, and it will launch an overseas listing plan. It seems that they are "forced" by Xiaomi, and this one is worth it. But more importantly, can these unicorns hatched by Xiaomi become truly "billion-dollar enterprises" after gradually reducing their dependence on Xiaomi?

Biodiesel made from "gutter oil", do you want to try your car? Pilot projects of two gas stations in Shanghai

?

"For ten years, this dream has finally taken a substantial step!" On the afternoon of October 30th, Lou Deming, a professor at Tongji University, stood in front of the biodiesel oiler at Zhuanghang Gas Station in Fengxian, Sinopec.

?

From now on, two Sinopec gas stations in Fengxian District and Pudong New Area of Shanghai will start to sell B5 biodiesel as a pilot. This means that biodiesel made from kitchen waste oil has finally got rid of the "laboratory" stage and opened up the "last mile" of marketization, and it is just around the corner to realize large-scale replication and popularization.

?

Lou Deming said that it has always been his dream to market biodiesel.

?


"Free delivery" of biodiesel.

?

After removing impurities, chemical reaction, distillation and other processes, refined fatty acid methyl ester, also known as biodiesel, can be obtained from kitchen waste oil. According to China’s national standard "biodiesel blended fuel", biodiesel that can be used in vehicles must be "blended oil". For example, B5 biodiesel provided by the two pilot gas stations is blended with 5% biodiesel and 95% mineral diesel. At the same time, dozens of quality indexes such as sulfur content, acid value, water content, condensation point and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons have to be examined.

?

The reporter of Jiefang Daily Shangguan saw in a gas station at the intersection of Nanting Highway and Puwei Highway that two oilers have been modified, and four oilers can provide the service of filling B5 biodiesel, and the "biodiesel" mark with white characters on the green background is affixed to the ground of the relevant refueling stations; On the stop sign erected at the gas station, the four characters "biodiesel" have also been added to remind the passing vehicles.

?

Looking at the oil price, the average diesel in this station is 6.02 yuan/liter, while the B5 biodiesel can be discounted by 9.5, and the price is 5.72 yuan/liter. "There is 5% biodiesel in every liter of oil, and this preferential price is equivalent to giving biodiesel free of charge." The gas station attendant said that this would attract some car owners to switch to biodiesel, and the invoice would also indicate "biodiesel".

?

On the left is the unit price of B5 biodiesel, and on the right is the unit price of ordinary diesel, with preferential 0.3 yuan/liter.

?

At present, this gas station in Fengxian reserves about 10 tons of B5 biodiesel, and it is estimated that it can be filled in four or five days if each vehicle is filled with 60 liters at a time. The waiter said that at the beginning, many car owners may be influenced by traditional ideas, and may not necessarily accept biodiesel. There may also be many people pursuing green environmental protection, and the specific effect remains to be seen. Before they fill the vehicle, they will take the initiative to express the oil and ask the driver’s wishes.

?


It is almost the same as ordinary diesel.

?

The reporter interviewed several car owners who came to the station to refuel at random. They generally welcomed biodiesel, but they didn’t choose biodiesel on the grounds of "not sure about the quality" and "may not accept it when reimbursing".

?

In this regard, Lou Deming said that the quality of biodiesel that can enter the pilot of Sinopec gas station has been repeatedly tested, and it is almost the same as ordinary diesel. According to him, since September 29th, 2013, when the first No.70 bus in Shanghai was put into operation, as of September 30th, 2017, a total of 104 buses have participated in the project "Research on Shanghai Application System of Biodiesel Made from High Proportion of Kitchen Waste Oils". These buses that use biodiesel mixed fuels of three specifications (B5, B10 and B20) run for a total of 15,607,200 kilometers, and consume 456,300 liters of waste oil from kitchen to make biodiesel. In the past 10 months, another 32 sanitation vehicles have participated in the above-mentioned experiments, running 83,100 kilometers in total and consuming 2,405.6 liters of kitchen waste oil to produce biodiesel.

The results show that after using B5 biodiesel, there is no carbon deposit on the surface of the piston top, valve, injector and other key parts of the test vehicle engine, and there is no fault related to the oil circuit. Some vehicles have also seen an improvement in exhaust emissions. Compared with pure diesel, the emissions of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and ultrafine particles have all decreased slightly.

A sanitation truck is waiting to be filled with B5 biodiesel. Driver Ye Jinqing said that on average, it saves a few dollars per day compared with adding fossil diesel, and the tail gas pollution seems to be a little less.

Solve the problem of "not enough to eat" and "no money to earn"

?

Lou Deming said frankly that "gutter oil" became the technology of vehicle fuel, and it was conquered more than ten years ago. The project achievement "Key Technology and Application of Mixed Diesel Fuel Vehicle" won the first prize of scientific and technological progress in Shanghai in 2012, but since then, it has been a very difficult road to make "gutter oil" completely leave the laboratory and go to the market. To sum up, there are two levels: "not enough to eat" and "no money to earn".

?

The so-called "not enough to eat" means that there is no stable source of "gutter oil" and it is impossible to guarantee the stable mass production of biodiesel.

?

This problem was solved in 2013. Under the leadership of Shanghai Food Safety Office, Shanghai Food Safety Office, Municipal Greening and Appearance Bureau, Municipal Food Safety Federation, Tongji University, Shanghai Huayi Group and Shanghai Zhongqi Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. signed the "Six-Party Cooperation Agreement on the Recycling of Kitchen Waste Oils in Shanghai", which clarified that the kitchen waste oils collected in the whole city were given priority to the bus pilot project. As long as conditions permit, about 30,000 to 40,000 tons of kitchen waste oil produced in Shanghai every year can be transported to designated units to produce biodiesel.

?

The so-called "no money to earn" is subject to higher collection, transportation and disposal costs, and Shanghai biodiesel production enterprises have long been in the dilemma of cost inversion. Starting from 2010, the purchase price of "waste oil" of Shanghai disposal enterprises should be calculated according to a certain proportion of the sum of the international prices of crude oil, palm oil and methyl ester. Once the international oil price falls, the longer the production line is opened, the more it will lose money.

?

"At present, it is still in a state of loss, and it loses several hundred yuan for every ton sold." Zhang Xuewang, chairman of Sinochem Environmental Protection, said frankly that at present, the purchase price of "waste oil" is about 3,600 yuan/ton, and the direct production cost of about 2,000 yuan has exceeded the market price of biodiesel of more than 5,000 yuan/ton. Therefore, although the disposal capacity can reach 150 tons/day, China Environmental Protection actually only disposes about 60 tons of "waste oil" every day.

?

This problem was solved in 2016, and the "Emergency Support Measures for the Collection, Transportation and Disposal of Biodiesel Made from Waste Kitchen Oils in Shanghai" was promulgated, which will subsidize the losses of related disposal enterprises in case of market failure to ensure their normal operation. In addition, Shanghai has set up a budget to promote the application of biodiesel. At present, the costs and expenses arising from the production and distribution of B5 biodiesel related to two pilot gas stations are included in this budget, which will also reduce the burden on related enterprises.

?

The attendant at the gas station is filling the vehicle with B5 biodiesel, which the industry has been waiting for for a long time.

?

Zheng Shusong, deputy secretary-general of Shanghai Food Safety Federation, said that the promotion of biodiesel depends largely on the financial support of the government, so that the energy cost borne by enterprises is lower than the current pure fossil diesel model, so that enterprises will have the enthusiasm to use it. However, relying on financial support is not a long-term solution. The key is to find a way out of the market. This time, biodiesel has entered the social gas station, which is a huge step.

?

"If a gas station can accept biodiesel, the public can really get in touch with biodiesel. Only by understanding, the whole society will further accept and recognize this new energy consumption mode." Zheng Shusong said that it is foreseeable that the sales of biodiesel will become wider and wider, and its value will also increase. At that time, disposal enterprises can no longer rely on financial subsidies and take a purely market-oriented road.

Closed-loop management of "waste oil"

?

"Waste cooking oil" generally refers to the oil produced and processed by non-food raw materials such as kitchen waste, meat processing waste and unqualified livestock and poultry products. In recent years, all parts of the country have continuously intensified the crackdown and strengthened the source control, and the illegal and criminal activities of manufacturing and selling "gutter oil" with kitchen waste as raw materials have been curbed. However, the long-term mechanism for the comprehensive improvement of "gutter oil" has not been fully established, and the illegal and criminal problems of manufacturing and selling "gutter oil" still occur from time to time. In April this year, the State Council issued the "Opinions on Further Strengthening the Governance of Waste Oil", which clearly pointed out that it is necessary to strictly supervise law enforcement, strengthen source governance, and prevent waste oil from flowing to the table; It is also necessary to increase policy support and establish a long-term mechanism to jointly promote the harmless treatment and resource utilization of kitchen waste. It is necessary to regard the treatment of "gutter oil" as the key task of food safety during the 13 th Five-Year Plan period, and strive to make a breakthrough.

?

Experts believe that there is no very accurate detection method for "gutter oil" at present, and it is difficult to achieve it only by "person-to-person" supervision. At present, the main breakthrough is resource utilization, and the "sparse" market replaces the "blocking" supervision.

?

Referring to the international advanced experience, San Francisco, USA, recycles waste oil from restaurants in the city free of charge, converts it into biofuel and directly forces it to be used in municipal public transport; Japan put forward the "comprehensive strategy of bio-energy", which clearly gives the recycling of waste edible oil an important position in biodiesel fuel, and formulates the policy of state support for cooperative enterprises. Waste oil professional recycling companies basically recycle waste oil from catering enterprises for free, and after a series of treatment and refining, it becomes biodiesel, and then sells it to the government at several times the cost.

?

Shanghai has also gained valuable exploration experience in this regard. "Through the path of biodiesel, Shanghai has achieved closed-loop management of kitchen waste oil." Yang Jinsong, director of Shanghai Food and Drug Administration, said that in the future, Shanghai will continue to upgrade its technical standards, use the market-oriented operation mode, promote the diversified application of biodiesel from kitchen waste oil, expand from buses and sanitation vehicles to logistics vehicles and Yangtze River cargo ships, and explore the establishment of a safe and reliable mixed diesel fuel storage and filling system that is suitable for the actual situation of Shanghai and can effectively reduce costs, so as to further improve the supervision system and market operation mode of the whole industry chain.

Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of Honda Accord. Do you still want to buy it after reading it?

In today’s era of electrification, how should consumers choose a "good car"? Honda, as one of the most influential automobile brands in China, is recognized as a good car by the media and users. Every time it is replaced, it will reorganize the market value and pattern.

Friends who are familiar with Honda know that the Accord is a very popular model in the market. It has long dominated the top three in the domestic B-class car market, and its sales volume is directly crushing the Volkswagen and other models.

I believe many people have considered the Accord when choosing a B-class car. Then, today we will learn about the advantages and disadvantages of the Accord. After reading it, remember to forward it to friends who are about to buy a car. Maybe it will come in handy. ↓↓

The first is the advantage part ↓

Honda Accord is equipped with two "Dream Technologies" of 1.5T and 2.0T. The 1.5T is matched with a very durable CVt gearbox, and the 2.0t hybrid version is matched with an ECVT continuously variable gearbox, which is very fuel-efficient and durable.

Whether it is a hybrid version of 2.0T or a fuel version of 1.5T, the fuel consumption of Honda Accord is a leader in the same class.

After all, for consumers who like this class of cars, fuel saving is the key.

The Accord has a length of nearly 5 meters and a width of 1.9 meters. No matter the trunk space or the internal seating space, it is undoubtedly very large, which has great advantages compared with other cars of the same class.

The large space of Honda Accord has always been a significant advantage of itself.

Since the six-generation Accord was made in China, the Accord basically belongs to the car with the largest space among the B-class models of the same level, especially the rear row space is very spacious, which is also very satisfactory to most consumers.

You must have heard of "buy an engine and send a car" before. Honda’s engine has always been its strong point, and its dynamic response is also very rapid. Whether it is the fuel version or the hybrid version of the Accord, its acceleration ability is very good, which can meet daily use and occasionally be passionate.

It is worth mentioning that the Accord is equipped withThe 1.5T Earth Dream Technology can explode more than 170 horsepower, directly crushing many 2.0T cars on the market.

After the new upgrade of Honda Accord, both the interior and the appearance have been improved in terms of "face value", getting rid of the previous "mature and steady" characteristics and becoming more fashionable and sporty, which is deeply liked by young people.

Next, let’s take a look at the shortcomings ↓

The sound insulation effect of Honda Accord is not very good, and the tire noise is relatively high. However, the poor sound insulation of Honda is a well-known old problem. Except for the China market, almost no car has a leading sound insulation effect in the same class.

After all, its main power and control are relatively primary and secondary.

Honda Accord adopts the mainstream front McPherson+rear multi-link independent suspension of the same level. Perhaps in order to ensure the handling performance, the suspension adjustment of the car is relatively hard, butThe advantage is that the curve support is good, but the disadvantage is also obvious.

If you take some rugged roads, the sense of bumps is obvious, and the overall riding feeling is not very comfortable, but it is very suitable for taking high-speed. This is a matter of opinion.

Thin car paint can be said to be a big "feature". Although the thin paint does not mean that the safety of the vehicle is poor, the paint surface is easily scratched if it is not careful.

When encountering some slight scratches, a car with thin paint can easily be peeled off, which will only increase the repair cost, so this is also a place criticized by many car owners.

Suggestion ↓

It is recommended that qualified consumers try to choose hybrid models.

Although there may be many consumers who are worried that the batteries of hybrid models are not durable, in fact, today’s Honda hybrid technology is very mature, and the vehicles are driving normally. It will definitely be no problem in ten or eight years.

Moreover, hybrid models can bring users a better driving sense, stronger acceleration power and better fuel economy.

As long as you are used to driving hybrid vehicles, I believe it is difficult for most people to drive back to fuel vehicles.

Generally speaking, the new Honda Accord has a certain improvement in "face value", and has a good performance in terms of space and fuel economy. Dynamic performance is Honda’s consistent advantage, but it also has some shortcomings, such as poor sound insulation effect, hard suspension and thin paint.

As the saying goes, no one is perfect, and the car is never finished. Consumers must understand clearly before buying a car, and then choose a car that suits them after comprehensive consideration.

The EZ-6 internal invoice was accidentally exposed, and the new car pricing may have been settled!

Recently, a suspected Changan Mazda EZ-6 car purchase invoice has attracted widespread attention on the Internet. The invoice shows that the model is an EZ-6 pure electric BEV, priced at 221,800 yuan. This has caused quite a stir in the automotive industry. As Changan Mazda’s first new energy product and the only model in the joint venture B-class sedan market that provides range-extending power options, the exposure of this pricing undoubtedly sends a signal to the market that "the comer is not good".

Let’s take a look at the verification of the authenticity of the invoice first. In the exposed picture, the invoice date for this car purchase is August 16, which is more than a month earlier than the pre-sale time. Normally, when a new car is launched, the car company has a complete time advancement process. For a joint venture car company like Changan Mazda, it is not surprising that China and Japan need to make joint decisions and agree on the price 2 months in advance. In addition, although sensitive information such as the invoice code is coded, from the information of the invoicing party and the invoice seal of Changan Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., this invoice does not look like a counterfeit, and it is quite reliable. Since the invoice may be genuine, the price of the product shown on the invoice is most likely the true price of the EZ-6.

In fact, since the Changan Mazda EZ-6 made its debut at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, it has quickly become one of the most eye-catching sedans in the joint venture new energy field. Its wide attention is not accidental, on the one hand, because the EZ-6 stands at the forefront of the joint venture new energy field in terms of shape design, and on the other hand, it is the only model in the B-class sedan market that provides extended range power options, making up for the gap in the joint venture new energy field. This positioning has undoubtedly attracted the attention of a large number of consumers and industry insiders.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the EZ-6 are 4921/1890/1485mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2895mm, which makes it very spacious. The vehicle adopts a frameless door and a hatchback design. Although the shape is more new and energy-oriented, the through taillights and four round gun downlights still retain the shadow of Mazda’s classic design elements. In terms of power, the EZ-6 will be available in two forms: pure electric and extended range, with a rear-drive layout. The power parameters of the pure electric version are 190kW, while the extended version is equipped with the same 1.5-liter range extender, and the power parameters are exactly the same. In terms of battery life, according to the capacity of the battery pack, the range of the pure electric model is 480km and 600km respectively. The extended range vehicle can achieve a range of more than 1300km on a single charge and a tank of oil.

In terms of intelligent configuration, the EZ-6 also shows a very high level. The vehicle is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon third-generation 8155 chip, 14.6-inch floating central control screen, full LCD instrument panel, AR-HUD head-up display, 180-degree panoramic chassis, adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance and other advanced technologies. With high-end configurations such as rare Sony audio, 64-color ambient lights, and zero-gravity seats, its luxury sense is even higher.

So how competitive is this Changan Mazda EZ-6 with a price of 221,800 yuan in the market? First of all, from the perspective of configuration, the EZ-6 has far exceeded the joint venture models of the same level. As a joint venture pure electric intermediate car, compared with the same level of Tesla, the price of about 300,000 yuan and the starting price of Volkswagen ID7 of 227,700 yuan, the price of the EZ-6 pure electric version at 221,800 yuan can be said to be very reasonable, and even some unexpected benefits. This pricing strategy will undoubtedly bring a lot of pressure to other joint venture new energy models in the market.

Based on historical experience, Mazda has always had a relatively flexible pricing strategy, and often can break the market deadlock and lead the trend. Therefore, it is expected that the final price of the EZ-6 will likely fall within the range of 18-240,000 yuan. If the pre-sale stage is accompanied by some exciting preferential policies, the EZ-6 is expected to become a popular model in the market and seize a huge share of the joint venture new energy B-class car market.

It is reported that the EZ-6 will start pre-sale on September 28, and is planned to be officially launched at the end of October. With the final price announced, there will definitely be more discussions and comparisons about it in the market. But it is foreseeable that whether the Changan Mazda EZ-6 can truly shake the market and cause industry changes will soon be revealed, which deserves further attention from consumers and industry insiders.

How do you feel about the pricing of the Changan Mazda EZ-6? Please share your thoughts and insights in the comment section.

The advantages and disadvantages of the Cadillac XT5 are obvious. Can you buy it?

A fan backstage wanted me to chat and ask if this model was worth buying, and he himself has a 300,000-400,000 car purchase budget.

In fact, I like to talk about the Cadillac model, because the biggest advantage of the Cadillac model is its high price range, which gives us the feeling that it is really a conscientious price. But we can’t just look at the price of the car, we need to take a deeper look at whether this model is worth buying.

First of all, let’s take a look at the manufacturer’s guide price of this XT5 model, 329,700 yuan to 469,700 yuan. The discount range of this model is up to 70,000, but in fact only the preferential price of top or stock cars can reach so much. Generally speaking, the price of naked cars for entry-level dealers is about 270,000 yuan, of course, each city is different. According to this calculation, its discount range is about 60,000 yuan.

In terms of exterior design, the exterior design is our common Cadillac family shape, and the front of the car is particularly recognizable. The forward air net uses the design of Cadillac shield shape, and the interior is filled with honeycomb blackened material. The edge of the LED headlights is decorated by a vertical LED light strip from top to bottom, which is integrated with the fog lamp Led light source. From the exaggerated design in front, the sports fan and business fan are the characteristics of this XT5.

The side of the model creates an outstanding sense of muscle vision for us, and the waist line that gradually rises from front to back allows us to know what is called a sense of strength. A feeling of diving, ready to go, arises spontaneously, which is one of the most commonly used techniques in American muscle construction.

On the rear side of the model, the diamond-cut taillights can tell from a distance that this is a Cadillac. In addition, the XT5 also uses two-sided chrome exhaust pipes, which shows that the power is relatively strong.

As far as the overall design is concerned, the appearance is quite high, and of course the lines of the entire body are also designed to be relatively tough, which is very appealing to young consumers, but it is not very attractive to consumers who like mediocre designs.

Looking at the specific body data, the length, width and height are 4813/1903/1682mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2857mm. This is a medium-sized SUV, and the body data performance is actually quite good, especially the excellent width of this model, which makes the ride comfort in this XT5 very high.

The interior atmosphere of the car is an all-black interior, and the entire interior is still the familiar Cadillac model. The materials used in the whole car are relatively willing, and a large area of soft materials is used to cover the car, which feels particularly good. However, this XT5 still has a more troublesome problem, that is, there are many electronic devices used in the car, which makes the central control and gear handles easy to get fingerprints, which is particularly troublesome.

Overall, I personally think the interior of this XT5 model is quite well designed, with a sense of luxury in place. And the essence of the design of the American sofa is also reflected in this model. The seats are fully filled and comfortable to ride.

The rear row space is also relatively spacious, and is equipped with a separate air conditioner out of trend, which is more comfortable. In addition, attentive friends may have found that its floor bulge is very low, almost flat. Why is this? Many friends may have guessed that, yes, this is a front-wheel drive car.

Let’s take a look at the power part. This XT5 uses a 2.0T engine with a maximum power of 237 horsepower and a peak torque of 350N · m. There is no distinction between high and low power versions, which is one of the biggest differences from the German SUV.

As for the gearbox part, it uses a nine-speed automatic gearbox, which is very reliable. I personally think it is more reassuring than a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox.

The chassis structure uses a front McPherson independent suspension, a rear five-bar independent suspension, and a timely four-wheel drive system is used on the medium and high configuration.

What do you think of this design? In fact, the price you want to talk about is really very affordable, but the price is affordable. In addition to the second-tier brand factors, it is also more related to the body design, such as its chassis structure. We all know that the front and rear five-bar independent suspension is used, but on the top, it uses the McPherson-style independent suspension commonly used in joint-venture medium-sized SUVs, which is really not up to the first-tier luxury cars.

If you want to say that this one has its own characteristics, it does have American muscle feel, strong power, and cheap price. But if you want to say that its shortcomings are actually particularly obvious, that is, it uses a lower-cost former McPherson-style independent suspension, so cheap is also reasonable. So what do you think of this Kai’s cost performance? Welcome to the comment area to discuss and leave a message.
