Xu Jiayin encourages employees to participate in Hengchi 5 sales: Hengda property personnel place orders out of their own pockets for car sales

  On August 1, Hengchi 5, the first model of Hengchi Automobile, officially opened Dading: that is, customers who have paid a deposit of 1,000 yuan in the pre-sale stage can be converted into "Dading" customers who pay 9,000 yuan. The first 10,000 "Dading" customers enjoy a car purchase discount of 10,000 yuan to 20,000 yuan.

  Hengda sells cars, how is the effect? According to Liu Yongzhuo, president of Hengchi Automobile, the market response of Hengchi 5 is very good, "better than expected, Hengchi’s big sale is a foregone conclusion".

  On July 29, China Evergrande announced that since the pre-sale began on July 6, as of the announcement date, the cumulative pre-sale orders of Hengchi 5 exceeded 37,000 units.

  Everything looks so beautiful, really?

  According to the Financial Union News Agency, on July 11, Evergrande Group organized a meeting of executives related to the property sector and the automotive sector. Hengda Chairperson Xu Jiayin encouraged employees to actively participate in Hengchi 5 sales at the meeting

  It is reported that on the same day, Hengda Property also issued a sales assessment task for Hengchi 5.

  After receiving the task, the property staff have turned into car sales, and the Times financial reporter found that many Hengda community property center doors are posted with Hengchi 5 advertisements. Some staff said that in order to complete the task, they booked an order for 1,000 yuan from their own pockets, and booked 2-4 orders at the same time

  So it seems that the official announcement of the 37,000 orders, there is indeed a lot of water.

  As the first product of Hengchi Automobile, Hengchi has opened pre-sale 5 days ago, the price is 179,000 yuan, and it was once called "the best pure electric SUV within 300,000" by the president of Hengchi.

  Due to the well-known situation, Hengchi sold cars and pioneered a "notarized" car purchase model , the pre-sale deposit, subscription funds and the balance are all paid to the special account established by Tianjin Jinbin Notary Office, and are subject to the supervision of the Notary Office.

  But now, ordinary consumers are still skeptical about this car. As for how many units of Hengchi 5 have been sold, I am afraid that only Hengchi will know.

Hu Ge was questioned in "County Party Committee Courtyard" for not having acting skills? Although the talent is average, it has always been improving

Written by Wang Xiaogun, directed by Kong Sheng, and produced by Hou Hongliang, starring Hu Ge, Wu Yue, and Zhang Xincheng, "County Party Committee Courtyard" is being broadcast in full swing on CCTV.

With such a luxurious and amazing lineup, the audience rating of the drama went LIVE broke through two on the first day, breaking the record of the annual champion "Human World" and winning the best result of the first day broadcast of this year’s CCTV set. The dazzling results have also caused various controversies on the Internet, such as whether the life of grassroots cadres shown in the drama is real or not, whether the working environment within the system suffocates everyone, and whether the work of ordinary people is so difficult to do. A series of related discussions around the plot have been hanging on the hot search for several days.

In addition to everyone’s attention to the plot, the actors’ performances were also important. Especially the male protagonist Hu Ge, after all, this was his work that had not been in the TV series for five years. Before leaving, the "Langya Ranking" left to the audience was his transformation and the work of apotheosis.

In the new drama, he challenges himself to play a cadre and serve as the head of a county. The drama sets him up as a young cadre with a great future. In the face of the old fritters who have been in the officialdom for many years in the county party committee courtyard, this forces Hu Ge to mediate in front of a group of old actors and actors, and he is always tense. Where he can’t catch the play, he can’t hang up.

Of course, fans who had seen the drama said that Hu Ge’s acting skills were delicate and true. However, there were also discordant voices. Some netizens posted on Douban that Hu Ge had no acting skills at all. And this post actually received more than 5,000 likes on an unpopular website that basically didn’t have many people working. People couldn’t help but feel surprised. Could it be that Hu Ge’s acting skills have been blown out for so many years?

Let’s talk about the conclusion first, and give Hu Ge a pertinent evaluation of his acting skills, that is: more than enough.

This evaluation, as long as you look at his acting career, you can see it. The first stage is that Hu Ge plays freely and is invincible by his appearance.

Hu Ge, who was in his early 20s, met "Legend of Fairy Sword and Fairy Hero 1" and played the male lead Li Xiaoyao. The remake of "Legend of Fairy Sword and Fairy Hero 1" will soon meet with everyone, but everyone agrees that no one is Li Xiaoyao except Hu Ge. Li Xiaoyao became Hu Ge, and Hu Ge also became Li Xiaoyao. At that time, Hu Ge was young and high-spirited, and even without acting skills, he could easily interpret Li Xiaoyao’s chivalrous and youthful spirit.

At the same time, most of the TV dramas filmed by Hu Ge were mainly costume idol dramas. Because of this face, he can play all the roles completely without thinking and without any skills. There is nothing wrong with generosity, but it will always make everyone feel a little embarrassed if they need delicate feelings. For example, "Flying Immortals", "Liaozhai" and so on are all from this time period.

Maybe God saw that this handsome guy’s career was going too well, so he deliberately arranged some hardships for him, so that he got into a car accident, and the injured part of the car accident was the face he depended on for a living. Li Xiaoyao once had more than 100 stitches in her big clear and transparent eyes, and now he came to the second stage of Hu Ge.

At this time, he knew that he could no longer rely on his face to eat, and he wanted to transform. Even though he was still attached to the Tang Dynasty at that time, and he was still filming ancient costume idol dramas, he learned to bravely lift his bangs. Therefore, the audience saw Hu Ge deliberately pretending to be ugly and playing the villain in "The Scar of the Sky in Xuanyuan". I can understand that Hu Ge wanted the audience to stop looking at his appearance and see his acting skills. However, in an ancient costume idol drama, there is nothing for the actor to exert depth. The two roles played by Hu Ge made people complain that they were pretending to be crazy and acting stupid.

Indeed, acting ugly did not mean improving his acting skills. Then, Hu Ge came to the third stage. He stopped filming ancient costume idol dramas, went to acting in plays, polished his acting skills, and got to know the team of Shan Ying, which was the predecessor of Noon Sunshine. In this way, "Langya Bang" was born.

Hu Ge made up with himself in this drama. He didn’t pretend to be ugly on purpose, but was instead personable, but he was no longer a young man who used to be high-spirited and save the common people, but a weak and scheming strategist. When the drama needed to really take care of it and use the scenes of deep performance, he did it, which won him a good reputation over the years.

Therefore, based on Hu Ge’s acting experience, he was indeed not a gifted actor who could be enjoyed by God. As soon as he debuted, he was able to perform accurately. At first, he did not plan to take the route of the powerful faction, but he was willing to take one step at a time, constantly changing himself and breaking through himself. Taking a step back, Hu Ge’s acting level may not be comparable to many old actors for the time being, but with time, no one knows if he will change again.

Wang Sicong once again denounced the show plagiarism: really don’t **!

1905 movie network news The Muse Life Experience Show variety show created by a satellite TV made its debut last Saturday. Gold medalists He Jiong and Wang Han made their debut with ten popular Muses, which attracted much attention. However, once the show was broadcast, netizens found that the show was quite similar to the Korean variety show "Heroes". In the early morning of the 4th, Wang Sicong, "Secretary of the Discipline Committee of the Entertainment Industry", also forwarded the news that the media had bombarded the show for plagiarism, saying: "I really don’t understand if I copy it."

On the evening of the 4th, a certain satellite TV (Weibo number "Xiaoxiang Wolong") choked Wang Sicong through Weibo, saying: "Wang Sicong, you are really worried? Still watching after one o’clock in the morning? Innovation, happiness and nutrition, it seems that you still need to see and experience more. The world is so much more exciting, don’t follow what others say. In fact, there are many" right and wrong "people, and the same is true of the program. You should have a deep understanding of this —–"The picture on Weibo shows the dog who has been covering his eyes, and he has AT the official Weibo of the program, which has been forwarded by the official Weibo.

But the matter was not over yet. Then, Tang Ji’an once again posted on Weibo: "@Wang Sicong, what is the stalk you haven’t seen before? The old warehouse red carpet and the bridge section of the human-pulled plane really come from the east? There is a unique warehouse inside the dilapidated appearance. Our colleagues have used it more than ten or twenty years ago. We can find all kinds of the same style in the Beijing 798; take a red carpet and take a seat. Which award ceremony is not there? The Guinness record for human-pulled planes is constantly being refreshed. Of course, it is not uncommon for men to pull planes, but have you really seen beautiful women idols pulling planes? The same may be the same space and objects like once, the difference is only the people and the hearts of good and evil —-This will remain the same through the ages!" And the picture of this Weibo is also quite interesting: a little suckling pig wearing red rubber shoes. The intention is intriguing.

Wang Sicong, who was heartbroken by the entertainment industry, was still rebuking until the early morning, forwarding Tang Ji’an’s Weibo and attaching: "Really don’t **, plagiarism is not allowed to be said? Plagiarism You also copied out the sense of honor is also awesome. Can the poor toilet table of Guizhou donkey only rely on Weibo to tear up with me to hype this show? Copyright is not a legal issue, but it is a matter of IQ for you to copy so stupidly."

Then, the scolding war further escalated,Tang Ji’an posted another Weibo post on the afternoon of the 5th: "Good or bad, it doesn’t count if you say it! Beauty will only be more beautiful if it is surrounded by ugliness and evil! Let the stir-fry go away! Go home and take care of your one-acre and three-point land! Don’t pit D again!" Users commented one after another: "Plagiarism is plagiarism, mango platform has copied it all the time, what a ghost?", "Resistance at the top of your lungs, hahaha!"

The price is 79,800, and the glory version of BYD Qin PLUS has set off a new round of price war.

[Pacific Auto] On February 19th, the (|) Rong version was officially launched, and 10 models were launched in the new car, including 5 models of DM-i version, with the price range of 798-125,800, and two versions of pure electric cruising range (NEDC working condition) of 55km and 120km were available for selection.

With the launch of the Glory Edition of PLUS, its DM-i model entered the 70,000 range for the first time, and its EV model entered the 100,000 range. If BYD realized the era of "the same price of oil and electricity" ahead of schedule last year, this year will undoubtedly open a new era of "electricity is lower than oil", which will bring great pressure to the same joint venture brand models and independent brand models, and a new round of price war will also begin.

At the same time, Qin PLUS Glory Edition also launched a wealth of car rights, including:

1. Glory financial ceremony: the down payment is as low as 15%, and the term is as long as 60 or 24 installments with zero interest;

Among them, the front face of DM-i model adopts large-size grille design, while the EV model adopts closed design, which forms a good difference here and has high recognition.

The side lines of the car body are full and sharp, with five-spoke wheels, showing a good sense of movement, and the rear of the car adopts the popular through taillight design, which is highly recognizable after lighting.

In terms of body size, the length, width and height of Qin PLUS Glory Edition are 4765/1837/1495(1515)mm and 2718mm respectively.

At the same time, it also upgraded the intelligent voice continuous call, one wake-up, multiple interactions, and the whole system upgraded the intelligent power on and off, that is, start and go, automatically turn off the fire, get on the bus without pressing the start button, and get off and lock the car, further improving convenience.

In terms of power, Qin PLUS Glory DM-i is equipped with a plug-in hybrid system consisting of 1.5L and an electric motor, in which the engine is 110 HP, 180 HP /197 HP, and the transmission system is matched with an E- gearbox.

In terms of battery life, lithium iron phosphate batteries with capacity of 48 kWh and 57.6 kWh are available, and the pure electric cruising range of CLTC is 420km and 510km respectively.

In terms of chassis, Qin PLUS Glory Edition adopts the form of front and rear multi-link independent suspension.

Generally speaking, Qin PLUS Glory Edition will be listed at the price of 79,800 yuan, which will bring great impact to the whole compact car market, fully activate the increment of new energy market, accelerate the sinking of the market "oil to electricity", and other car companies are expected to follow suit at a reduced price in the future to maintain market competitiveness. This is undoubtedly very beneficial to consumers.

It is worth mentioning that in February 2023, BYD launched the Champion Edition of Qin PLUS DM-i, which set off a new price reduction frenzy with a starting price of 99,800 yuan, ushered in the era of "the same price of oil and electricity" in advance, and with the starting price of 99,800 yuan, the order for the Champion Edition of Qin PLUS DM-i was over 30,000 a week, and the cumulative sales of Qin family in 2023 exceeded 480,000.

How to make artists fully integrate into the IP confrontation? The general director of Ace to Ace has something to say.

Video: Ace-to-Ace Edition: More laughter is waiting for you.


In recent years, Zhejiang Satellite TV’s variety matrix brand has become more and more famous, and many programs that are familiar to the audience have been launched. Among them, "Ace to Ace", which combines song and dance, competition, theater and other links, has created its own sky in the field of variety in the shed. With a large number of loyal audiences, how is each program of "Ace" planned? Is it true that so many stars are attracted by sky-high salary as said on the Internet? A few days ago, the reporter interviewed Wu Tong, the general director of the program, and he will answer the audience’s curiosity and online rumors one by one.



Why did you launch Ace to Ace?


Outdoor reality show blowout, want to differentiate


The birth of every program will have a supporting point, and the fulcrum of the birth of "Ace" is the original intention of differentiation. After the fire in Running Man, the outdoor reality show showed a blowout trend. Wu Tong revealed that it was Wang Jun, director of Zhejiang Satellite TV, who proposed the direction at that time, and wanted to make a reality show in the shed to occupy another blue ocean area of variety industry with differentiation, so after the team constantly brainstormed and scrutinized the details, there was Ace to Ace, which focused on the variety in the shed and focused on the IP concept.




Because it is a completely original program, there is no reference model. It can be said that since the birth of "Ace", every program from the first season to the second season needs great efforts and efforts. As it turns out, this variety show in the shed has indeed achieved good results with its own differentiation and has become the hottest variety show in the TV shed in China.


How does a strong guest appeal come from? Platform cohesion is the key.


Viewers who have seen Ace to Ace will be amazed at the ability of the program to invite artists. Each issue is a heavyweight ace, from Jackie Chan, Zhang Guoli, Ceng Zhiwei and other "big brothers" in the circle to Fan Bingbing, Yang Mi, TFBOY, Lu Han and other popular goddesses to "play". Why can the ace have such a strong artist appeal? For the guests who had been rumored by the Internet that "Ace" was attracted by sky-high salary, the general director Wu Tong said that it was purely a rumor. The reason why the guests of the program were willing to participate in the program was firstly because Zhejiang Satellite TV’s platform was cohesive and attractive enough to attract stars, and secondly, the artists’ docking and communication skills were really strong, which was also an advantage of the platform.




Speaking of artists, Wu Tong also mentioned two words, namely "surprise" and "moved". "Ace" programs often arrange surprise guests for the coming artists. The confidentiality of this link is well done, so the artists themselves don’t know, and it is precisely because of this that unexpected situations often appear at the recording site, which makes the "Ace" team feel surprised and moved. For example, in the ninth episode of the first season, Quiet reappeared the image of "Da Yuer" in the classic TV series "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", and the director group specially invited Ma Jintao to play the leading actor "Dourgen" to give Quiet a surprise. Unexpectedly, Quiet was moved to tears when he saw Ma Jintao. This scene also moved the program group. In the seventh program of the second season, when Kimi suddenly appeared on the scene, not only the audience applauded and screamed for the reunited ipartment crew, but also Michael Chen, Loura and Sean immediately got high. The friends who rarely met together recalled the past on the stage, and the details were particularly touching. Similar surprises are staged in almost every issue. It can be said that surprises are mutual. The program group has prepared surprises for artists, and artists are constantly giving new surprises to the program group.

What kind of team is behind the show?


Most of the members are post-90s, and they are thoughtful for every detail.


Behind any excellent program, there are a group of hard-working people, and "Ace to Ace" is no exception. This program is basically from the planning, artist communication and details execution. They are big enough to know all kinds of hot events and new ways of playing, but they are still not careless in implementing the details. Every detail is carefully thought out and compared again and again before making a decision. Wu Tong, for example, said that in the case of the ninth program of the second season just aired, Athena Chu played the role of "Zi Xia Fairy" again after 22 years. In order to better reproduce the classic role, the costume program group just thought back and forth for a long time and prepared three sets of costumes with different stage effects, except for the transparency of 30% and 60%, and the materials of the clothes are also different, and the details are so accurate, just to bring the best programs to everyone.




Because "Ace to Ace" involves many links, the program group has a lot of preparation work to do, and it takes a lot of energy just to wear clothes and props. Wu Tong admits that the entire choreographer group sleeps less than 3 hours a day, and during the day, they do execution, such as communicating with artists and trying out costume props. They don’t start planning or summarizing until 12 o’clock in the evening, and call it a day. The hard work of the program team also shows that it is not easy to make a good program.


Wu Tong also said that compared with the first season, the second season showed more feelings, hoping to really leave something for the audience after the show. When it comes to the future, Wu Tong feels that if the audience likes it, they are willing to keep doing it, but they will not solidify their thinking, and they have been trying to bring more newer and more meaningful things to the audience.

The U.S. military slashed its defense budget just to aim at the "current war"?


US Secretary of Defense Robert Gates


  When US Defense Secretary Robert Gates announced the defense budget for 2010 on the 6th, he stressed that the US military should drastically reduce the expenditure on R&D and purchase expensive and advanced armaments, and invest more resources to meet the equipment demand in real battlefields such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Analysts said that although it is still unknown whether Gates’s budget can be approved by the US Congress, it reflects a certain shift in the US military strategy.


  Give up some "advanced" weapons


  According to the defense budget submitted by Gates, the US military plans to reduce or stop some expensive arms production and R&D projects that are not needed at present.


  As far as the navy is concerned, a plan to develop a new cruiser based on DDG1000 design will be abolished and the fleet upgrade plan will be suspended.


  In the future, the navy will continue to use the main ship type "Ali Burke" class destroyer used in recent years.


  It is said that the DDG1000 destroyer is a multi-functional warship that can avoid radar detection.


  After the design of this destroyer, it was delayed to be delivered for manufacture, but the cost climbed to more than $3 billion per ship in the past 10 years. Therefore, the US Navy called for abandoning the project, but under the lobbying pressure of congressional interest groups, it only reduced the number of reserved ships from 32 to 3.


  In the defense budget, Gates set the premise for purchasing the three ships under construction, that is, the contractor needs to move the two scattered construction sites to the same dock, otherwise the navy will only consider purchasing one of them.


  As far as the Army is concerned, the $160 billion future combat systems R&D project will be cut.


  Gates specifically pointed out that the chariot research and development project costing $87 billion in the system will be cancelled.


  In view of the fact that roadside low-tech bomb attacks are the main cause of American casualties in the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, Gates thinks that instead of developing light chariots with advanced concepts, it is better to spend money on anti-mine ambush vehicles. Based on a South African chariot in the early 1990s, this armored vehicle is said to have effectively reduced the casualties of American troops since it was put into use in Iraq.


  For the Air Force, Gates intends to cancel the VH-71 presidential helicopter project costing $13 billion, the C17 new transport aircraft project and an advanced military satellite research and development plan, and at the same time reduce the production of each F-22 fighter at a cost of $140 million, which will be discontinued after 187 fighters are produced.


  The F-22 fighter, nicknamed "Raptor", is the most expensive fighter in active service of the US military and the first fourth-generation fighter in the world. Although it has the functions of stealth and supersonic cruise, it is not suitable for helping the US military to deal with roadside bombs in Iraq or hunt down terrorists hiding in the mountains of Afghanistan. Gates said that F-22 fighters are of little use to American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan.


  Increase the need of real war


  While proposing to cancel and reduce many weapons programs, Gates announced that he would increase funds for other weapons programs. Gates suggested that the navy buy more ships with fast sailing speed, which is beneficial for the military to carry out offshore missions, and suggested that the Air Force increase the number of F-35 joint attack fighters purchased from 14 in fiscal year 2009 to 30 in fiscal year 2010, and the project funds increased from $6.8 billion to $11.2 billion. Gates also said that the Pentagon will increase the funds used to fight against anti-American militants in Iraq and Afghanistan, equip special forces to hunt down terrorists, stop reducing the number of air force and navy personnel, and expand the size of the US Army and Marine Corps, with an increase of 65,000 for the Army and 27,000 for the Marine Corps.


  Gates also proposed to allocate $2 billion for the research and development and application of surveillance technology, including the addition of 50 Predator drones. It is said that since the beginning of this year, the US military has repeatedly dispatched Predators to crack down on Al Qaeda and Taliban forces hiding in the border areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan. Serve the "current war"


  American public opinion believes that the main purpose of the defense budget submitted by Gates is to serve the "current war". The expensive armament project that Gates plans to cut is either a combat system formed during the Cold War or an advanced project aimed at mastering the hostile forces of super-sophisticated technology, which is not in line with the current situation. He stressed that what the United States needs is weapons that can be used to equip American soldiers to fight against real enemies.


  The Los Angeles Times believes that Gates’ purpose is to shift the focus of military spending from large-scale wars against traditional rivals such as China and Russia to small-scale conflicts against armed forces such as the Taliban, which is the first step for the Obama administration to rebuild the US military. This fundamental and directional change in the focus of national defense spending is essentially to increase the ability of rapid deployment of troops, global response and information warfare, reduce the equipment needed for large-scale wars, and reduce the investment and installation of heavy equipment and traditional large-scale weapons development projects in accordance with the "need to guide contracts", rather than mainly considering meeting the requirements of various services and arms and indulging their selfish greed.


  Correspondingly, the deployment of the US missile defense system may also be adjusted. In the defense budget submitted by Gates, the expenditure on missile defense projects will be reduced by $1.4 billion. He proposed to increase investment in regional anti-missile projects targeting missiles with short range and relatively limited strike capability, but to cancel or postpone the deployment of projects targeting intercontinental ballistic missiles.


  Although the day before Gates’ defense budget was published, North Korea announced the successful launch of an experimental communication satellite, and arms dealers such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin took the opportunity to lobby that Gates would strengthen the existing multi-layer missile defense system in the United States in the defense budget, but it was not adopted in the end.


  Military spending still ranks first in the world.


  Analysts said that Gates’ defense budget was a helpless move when the United States was mired in the financial crisis and faced with financial difficulties. Gates himself said bluntly that the purpose of proposing to cancel those eye-catching sophisticated weapons programs is to save money.


  Even so, once Gates’ plan was announced, it caused doubts in the United States. In addition to worrying about whether the United States has the ability to defend its homeland security after reducing conventional weapons, public opinion also believes that this plan will certainly not be approved by Congress. Because the plan harms the interests of arms dealers, these arms dealers will inevitably put pressure on members of Congress who represent their interests and obstruct the adoption of the plan. Even if it is passed, it must be transformed in the implementation.


  International public opinion generally believes that the so-called worry about the impact of Gates’ reduction of the defense budget on American security is simply unnecessary, because Gates’ plan to reduce large-scale advanced weapons and equipment is itself based on "the United States’ military strength is the only one." Although many armament projects have been drastically reduced, the total defense budget submitted by Gates in 2010 will still reach $534 billion, up from $519 billion in 2009. In fact, the total defense budget of the United States has accounted for more than 40% of the global military expenditure for many years. If the cost of counter-terrorism is added, its defense expenditure is almost equivalent to the sum of all other countries and regions in the world.
