Special feature of 1905 film network "I read it myself first. After reading it, I think it is suitable for my parents to have a look, because it can improve their vigilance. Then I bought them tickets and urged them to see them. " In the summer of 2023, Jun Wei, a media person in Beijing, bought tickets for his parents in his hometown of Cangzhou, Hebei Province. This is also the first time that two 60-year-old people walked into the cinema together after the new century. Before that, he had seen it with his parents respectively.

In the summer of 2023, there are not a few young people like Junwei. In addition, many viewers will recommend it to their relatives, friends, colleagues and classmates after reading it.

Many of these recommended people lack the habit of watching movies, and some have never even walked into a modern cinema. They became the new faces of watching movies in this summer’s box office record-breaking summer file.

According to the data insight of summer movies released by Cat’s Eye Research Institute, the proportion of new audiences in summer movies in 2023 reached 17.9%. Among them, the proportion of new audiences choosing movies for the first time is from high to low, with 19.6% of her disappearing, 17.4% of her putting all your eggs in one basket, 11.5% of her films and 10.2% of her films.

Who is the new audience in the film market?

"The’ new audience’ here refers to the audience who bought tickets on the cat’s eye platform for the first time." In an interview with 1905 Movie Network, Yin Tengyu, a senior analyst at Cat’s Eye Research Institute, said that "all the portraits of ticket buyers in movies are related to the content of the movie itself".

For several films in the summer file, the proportion of female audience in Disappeared She is getting higher and higher because of the high degree of women-related topics and discussions after the screening. The movie "Feng Shen I" is also a similar trend. The proportion of men is higher in the stage of wanting to see the film before screening and the first day of screening. However, with the spread of word of mouth and the increase of popularity after screening, more and more female audiences have been attracted, and the crowd has been "broken", and finally the proportion of female audiences has surpassed that of men.

The anti-fraud theme work "Put all your eggs in one basket" is still dominated by young audiences, but compared with itself, the proportion of audiences over 40 years old is indeed gradually increasing. The portrait of Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an was intended for younger users before screening, but the portrait of ticket purchase after screening was ultimately intended for parents and children, because the film itself was "entertaining" and suitable for family viewing.

On the whole, the explosive movies in the summer of 2023 re-read the data of the audience’s sex ratio and age distribution, which are closely related to the film theme.

As the "nerve endings" in the downstream of China film industry, the managers of the first-line cinemas feel this more intuitively. Manager Zhang, who opened the Nanchang Economic Development Store in Yuemu Studios, admitted that the audience of "She Disappeared" in the store was mainly women. Many female viewers will accompany their colleagues and friends for two or three brushes after watching the movie for the first time. Although the opening box office of Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an is not ideal, with the word-of-mouth fermentation, it has attracted many parent-child groups to enter the market.

In the "put all your eggs in one basket" show in the store, some elderly viewers are often seen entering the venue. According to manager Zhang’s observation, this part of the elderly audience is mainly divided into two categories: one is the elderly brought by their children; The other is the elderly with rich retirement life. The latter learned about the movie information through the recommendation of the media and short video platform, and then went into the cinema.

During the summer vacation, many factories and streets around the store also organized a "put all your eggs in one basket" booking activity. Among them, the street organization’s charter activities are mainly for the elderly audience. In the communication with the street staff, Manager Zhang learned that about 20% to 30% of the elderly audience entered the modern cinema for the first time.

He believes that the main prevention population of this anti-fraud film is the elderly aged 55 to 65. Because the elderly in this age group have just retired, there is not much pressure on the economy, and they also want to use retirement wages for financial management.

Junwei strongly recommended his parents to watch "Put All Your Eggs in One Egg" together, and also wanted them to be alert. Parents’ feedback after watching movies is also different. The young man played by his mother is very distressed. Just after graduating from college, he was cheated and his family was ruined. The father has a better understanding of the specific routines and means of fraud.

Social topicality has become a magic weapon to attract new audiences.

In the summer of 2023, new audiences accounted for a large number of films, mostly realistic works with high reputation and high social topics. This phenomenon has also appeared in similar works in other golden periods, such as the Spring Festival in 2021.

Yin Tengyu admits that word of mouth is the main way for the film to influence new audiences and reach out to the crowd. This is inseparable from the audience’s continuous enthusiasm for the discussion and recommendation of the film after the screening. Therefore, high-quality word-of-mouth and strong empathy of the audience are necessary for the new film. The realistic theme works adapted from social hot events are more likely to cause social discussion in a wider range, and then realize the circle-breaking communication.

"There are many types of movies and many themes, but movies with social topics and close to real life are more likely to attract new audiences." Manager Zhang also gave a similar view. In his memory, the 2018 summer box office champion also attracted many new audiences.

In addition, the head prime file is also more conducive to the film audience market to pull new and promote life.

"In the big holiday schedule, the proportion of new audiences will generally be higher than that in the traditional off-season schedule. On the one hand, because the audience has a stronger demand for watching movies in the big schedule, for example, during the Spring Festival, family viewing has gradually become a habit, because in the big schedule, the audience’s active attention to movies has increased; This also drives high-quality films to be more willing to choose the golden schedule for release, and it is easier to reach the core audience, and then spread the good word-of-mouth to a wider audience to achieve the effect of breaking the circle, and even reach some incremental audiences who usually watch less movies or have no movie habits. " Yin Tengyu believes that prime time and high-quality films complement each other and jointly increase the proportion of new audiences. In the traditional off-season schedule, it may be more difficult for high-quality films to break the circle, but as long as they have the above two points, they will still attract a large number of new audiences to attend the movie.

In the eyes of Manager Zhang, the sustained and stable admission of new audiences cannot be achieved by one or two excellent domestic films. Only when the collective quality of domestic films is getting higher and higher, and watching movies has become the most basic leisure and entertainment way for ordinary people, can the film market maximize the exploration of new audiences.

With the increasing number of elderly people, how to bring this part of "new audience" back to the cinema should also be a question for filmmakers.

Jun Wei bluntly said that when his parents were young, they often went to the old auditorium-style cinema. With the development of the times, the number of old-fashioned cinemas has gradually decreased, and the film industry in China was in a downturn in the early 21st century, so the movie-watching habits of their generation were broken. At present, Junwei can clearly feel that his parents don’t have much emotional resonance with cinema movies. They also have a lot of inadaptability to modern directors’ narrative methods and expression techniques.

Yin Tengyu believes that with the industrialization of domestic films, the production level of domestic films has been continuously improved, and more and more excellent films can attract new audiences to enter the cinema. This is very important to enhance the confidence of the whole industry in the future development: on the one hand, it encourages the creative end to continue to deepen the content and continue to export fine products; On the one hand, it also stimulates the layout optimization of the terminal market, especially the cinema construction in the sinking market, forming a good cycle.

With the joint help of new and old audiences, the box office of the summer file in 2023 created a new high in China film history. China film market needs more new audiences’ support while cultivating more outstanding new directors and actors.

On March 11th, SAIC Volkswagen launched 2024 outstanding models, including three models. On the basis of the elite version, luxury version and flagship version of the current 380TSI, they were added and renamed Longteng version, Longyao version and Longxiang version respectively. Perhaps it was influenced by BYD’s volume price tactics at the beginning of the year, and the new version launched by Volkswagen this time also directly reduced the price by 20,000.

The appearance of the new car still continues the design of the current model, with a sense of fashion in the main hand. The difference between the normal version and the starry sky version is mainly in the front air intake grille, the starry sky lattice grille is slightly fashionable, and the horizontal multi-section grille is more rich in business atmosphere. The side of the new car adopts a tough design, and straight lines run through the front fender to the rear. The rear part of the car still uses straight lines, which shows stability and has a good sense of hierarchy. It is worth mentioning that in addition to the Longteng version/Starry Dragon version, the other two models are equipped with inductive electric tailgates.

The size of the new car has not changed, with the length, width and height of 4948x1836x1469mm and the wheelbase of 2871 mm. The space performance is good, and both home and business are quite satisfactory. The old problem still exists: the height of the middle bulge in the back row is higher, and the passenger experience in the middle position is worse, which is also a common problem of German cars.

In terms of interior, the new car still continues the unique design style of the current Passat, and the design of the center console tilting to the driver’s side is more convenient to operate during driving. At the same time, the use of a large number of bright black paint, as well as a small number of chrome trim, makes the whole car look a certain sense of grade. However, from the current aesthetic point of view, the design at the bottom of the central control screen will be somewhat outdated, and it would be better if it could be simpler. Many people are worried that this price reduction will lead to a reduction in allocation. By comparing the configuration information, we can find that the difference between the new and old models is only the optional package, and the standard configuration is the same.

In the power part, the car is still equipped with a 2.0T engine, with a maximum output of 162kW and a peak torque of 350N·m, and the fastest acceleration time of 100 kilometers is only 7.4 seconds. The chassis suspension is still a multi-link independent suspension before McPherson. Users who are familiar with this car should know that Volkswagen’s suspension training of Passat is not bad, and its driving texture and shock absorption performance are good.

Next, let’s talk about these three configurations, which is the most cost-effective.

In terms of configuration, Longyao Edition has more lane departure warning, lane keeping assistance, lane merging assistance, automatic parking and electric induction trunk than Longteng Edition. Compared with Longyao version, Longxiang version has more safety and comfort configurations such as fatigue driving tips, side airbags, front knee airbags, steering wheel heating, front seat massage and rear seat heating. That is to say, there is no Longteng version with the above configuration price of 188,300 yuan. It should be emphasized here that the Longteng version of the car machine system also lacks many basic functions, such as car navigation, voice control, OTA upgrade and other functions.

From this point of view, the Longteng version with the lowest price among the three cars is extremely low in cost performance, and the price of 180,000 doesn’t even have some basic configurations. If the budget is sufficient, the top-mounted Longxiang version has the highest cost performance, and a series of safety functions and comfort configurations can be obtained at an additional cost of 16,000 yuan, so that such rich configurations are enough for both business and home use.

What do the audience in front of the screen think? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area for discussion.

It was officially launched in November last year. In order to meet the market demand, the car launched double sniper tactics, and the electric version/hybrid version was launched at the same time. Among them, the three DMH hybrid versions are 121,800-141,800 yuan, and the three EV electric versions are 143,800-170,800 yuan.

Roewe is full of hope when the new car goes on the market. Roewe has previously launched a volume model, but Roewe has not launched a peak product in the later period. According to the data, in 2020, Roewe sold 435,600 vehicles, in 2021, it sold 375,600 vehicles, and in 2022, the overall sales volume of Roewe was 286,000 vehicles, down 23.86% year-on-year. The market share of Roewe has been shrinking, and the decline in sales volume has become the norm. Therefore, Roewe urgently need to launch a volume model to pull itself back to the mainstream track.

However, the reality is cruel. According to the data provided by the Association, the wholesale sales volume of Roewe D7DMH in December was only over 800, and the wholesale sales volume of D7 EV version was only over 700, totaling less than 2,000. This also confirms the prediction of netizens who listed new cars.

For the Roewe D7 car, users generally reflect that the price is too high, so the price is bound to be cool, and the reality is indeed the same.

In addition, the product quality of Roewe Automobile has been frequently complained this year, which has also cast a shadow over Roewe’s brand image and formed a bad reputation.

In appearance, Roewe D7 adopts Roewe’s latest family-style design style. The appearance of the model is different from that of plug-in hybrid. The D7 EV adopts the design of closed front face and split headlights, and the D7 DMH adopts integrated headlights. In terms of body size, the length, width and height dimensions of DMH models are 4890/1890/1510mm, and those of EV models are 4890/1872/1510mm, with a wheelbase of 2810mm.

The interior part, with dual 12.3-inch LCD screens, supports the circulation between the locomotive and mobile navigation, automatic planning of long-distance charging, and effective reply of diverse voices.

In terms of power, the Roewe D7 DMH model is equipped with a plug-in hybrid of a 1.5L hybrid special engine and a motor combination. CLTC has a pure electric cruising range of 125km and a comprehensive cruising range of 1400km. The cruising range of D7 EV CLTC is 510km and 610km respectively, and the acceleration time from 0 to 100 km/h is 7.3 seconds and 6.5 seconds respectively.

On the whole, Roewe D7 performance is not excellent, and the bidding models include BYD and Changan medium-sized cars. Although the Roewe D7 seems to be slightly lower in terms of price, it is not as good as the first two cars in terms of positioning. In addition, the performance of Roewe D7 is not outstanding in terms of power. Naturally, it is not as good as the first two cars. The sales figures can also prove this. Seals sold more than 10,000 vehicles in December and Deep Blue SL03 sold more than 6,000 vehicles. Under the strong pressure of competing models, Roewe D7 will not get much benefit. It is worth mentioning that we saw the E-QM5 in the sales list of medium-sized cars in December, and its wholesale sales in December also reached more than 10,000. It is said that the car has a minimum of 100,000 cars, and the price of 160,000 is 100,000 yuan, so the sales volume will not come up at once. Breaking a bone is better than anything. How fragrant it is! Roewe D7 wants to sell, and its brand positioning can only be considered as the second line, and it is really difficult to sell without fracture promotion.

Nowadays, young people have various requirements for buying a car. In addition to high requirements for face value, they also hope that they can’t lag behind in terms of power and configuration, and only hope to bear the price. What I want to introduce to you today is. Let’s take a look at it together.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of RAV4 Rongfang first. The front face of RAV4 Rongfang looks simple, equipped with a large mouth grille, and looks full. Headlights are very fashionable and concise, and the overall look has a certain sense of hierarchy. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, front fog lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light and so on. Come to the side of the car, the car body size is 4600MM*1855MM*1685MM, the car adopts hard lines, and the car body gives people a very sharp feeling. With large-sized thick-walled tires, it gives people a very domineering and stylish feeling. In the design of the rear end, the rear end looks more capable, and the taillights show a fashionable and sporty design style. Together with the unique exhaust pipe, it is very individual.

When I came into the car, the interior design was more domineering and stylish, and the visual effect was very good. The practicality and face value of the three-spoke steering wheel of this car are not bad, and it is made of genuine leather, giving people a bright feeling. Let’s take a look at the central control. The car is decorated with a steady touch-control LCD central control screen, which makes the interior design quite layered and meets the aesthetic standards of most consumers. The dashboard and seats are equally eye-catching. The car is equipped with a stylish and generous LCD dashboard, which makes information reading easy and clear. The car adopts imitation leather seats, equipped with functions such as electric adjustment of auxiliary seats, electric adjustment of seats, and seat proportion tilting, with exquisite materials and comfortable ride.

RAV4 Rongfang is equipped with car networking, driving mode selection, remote control key, Bluetooth key, rear wiper and traction control (ASR/TCS, etc.), which can be said to be quite satisfactory.

What’s your main impression of this car after reading the whole article? I wonder if you are excited about this car introduced today?

"New Volkswagen CC Hunting Car"

"New Volkswagen CC"

● New car features:
The appearance is slightly adjusted, and LED daytime running lights running through the front face are added.

　　In terms of appearance, the changes in appearance and details of the new CC have been introduced many times before, so we won’t repeat them here, mainly talking about the interior part of the new car that was announced recently. If you want to see the appearance, you can move to "Gorgeous Turn and Shoot the New Volkswagen CC/CC Hunting Car".

The new car also uses a 10.3-inch full LCD instrument panel, as well as an 8-inch and 9.2-inch optional embedded central control multimedia touch screen, coupled with a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel and a touch air conditioning control panel. All these designs make the new car reflect a good sense of technology.

　　In terms of seats, the new car adopts a diamond-shaped grid pattern design and uses different colors of stitching to further deepen the luxury of the new car. It is worth mentioning that the car version will be available in the R-Line version, which will be embroidered with Volkswagen’s brand-new "R" logo on the headrest of the seat, and the interior ceiling of the new car will all be made of Alcantara material, showing the dynamic and fashionable attributes.

　　In terms of space, the new CC Hunting Edition adopts the classic traveling body design, and its slip-back shape and the design of the back-lift trunk lid have upgraded the car energy space of the new car to a new level; The sedan version is also equipped with a liftable trunk cover to enhance practicality. At the same time, the rear seats of the new car can also be put down in proportion, further expanding the use space of the trunk and increasing the practicality of the new car. In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the new Volkswagen CC are 4865/1870/1459mm and the wheelbase is 2841mm；; The length, width and height of CC hunting edition are 4869/1870/1459mm respectively, and the wheelbase is also 2841 mm..

● Model history:

Old Volkswagen CC

　　Volkswagen CC was launched in China on July 15th, 2010, and it has undergone two generations in ten years. Volkswagen CC was once known as "the most beautiful Volkswagen car", which attracted many young consumers with its beautiful body lines and the form of a coupe. However, this model has always been in an embarrassing situation in China. The total sales volume from January to September in 2020 was only 20,900, which was slightly unsatisfactory compared with other medium-sized cars. However, we have reason to believe that with the launch of the mid-term redesigned model, coupled with the fashionable, dynamic and practical model attributes of the hunting version, I believe that Volkswagen CC will develop better and better in the long river of history.

● Competitors:

Cadillac CT5』

　　According to the number of comparisons between different cars in car home Big Data, among the users who choose the old Volkswagen CC models, the top three models are Volkswagen Magotan, Audi A4L and Cadillac CT5. Such a set of numbers can actually reflect that Volkswagen CC may still prefer more home styles in the eyes of users. However, with the mid-term change, the fashionable style of new cars will be more prominent, or it will form a stronger competitive relationship with the younger models like Cadillac CT5.

"Audi A4avant"

　　The competitors of the hunting version may be more inclined to Volkswagen Weilan and Audi A4 Avant, but most of the competitive models in this class are imported versions, so the localized Volkswagen CC hunting version will have more advantages in terms of price.

● Edit Comment:

　　After the mid-term change, the Volkswagen CC family finally opened the pre-sale. I believe that you will have a further understanding and understanding of the new car after seeing the pre-sale price. Although this time, Volkswagen did not introduce the more pure hunting version of the overseas model, but added the attribute of cross-border style after it was made in China, this is mostly because it only needs to make a decision considering the domestic road conditions and the practicality of the domestic consumer market. After all, sales can survive. Next, let’s look forward to the price of the Volkswagen CC family after its official listing. (Text/car home graduated)

Republican candidate john kasich’s party primary celebration in New Hampshire. Jin Xiao Li tu

[Editor’s note]

On February 9, local time, the second battle of the 2016 US presidential election primary came to an end in New Hampshire (hereinafter referred to as NSW), and Trump, the Republican Party of the United States, won a big victory in this Republican primary. In the Republican camp, surprisingly, John Kasich, the governor of Ohio, performed well, ranking second only to Trump.

To China readers, kasich is a strange name compared with Hillary, Trump and Jeb Bush, and he is also "unknown" in American media. Who’s kasich? Why did he win the second place in the Republican primary in New Hampshire? Is his sudden emergence "a flash in the pan" or "enough stamina"?

On the same day, The Paper’s special contributor came to the scene of the NSW primary election celebration in kasich.Close contact with kasich and his supporters, trying to find the answers to these questions from the warm celebration atmosphere.

Just after the Iowa caucus, the Republican Party ushered in the second stop of the party’s primary election-New Hampshire. Although many people criticized that the proportion of white people in NSW was too large and too radical to predict the voting situation in the whole country, the results of NSW’s primary election were always extremely accurate. Since the state’s electoral reform in 1952, the final nominees of the Republican Party have won the top two in the state. Although Trump won NSW with an absolute advantage of 35% and became the biggest winner of this station, what was even more unexpected was the extraordinary performance of Ohio Governor John Kasich. He beat Cruz and Lu Biao, the other two popular candidates in the party, and won the second place with 16% support. The Paper and the US column team attended the primary celebration held by kasich on the evening of February 9th, and got close contact with kasich and his supporters.

Location of the celebration: Grappone Conference Center, a famous conference center in Concord, the capital of NSW. Jin Xiao Li tu

The celebration is located in the —Grappone Conference Center, a famous conference center in Concord, the capital of NSW. Since most polling stations closed their voting at 7: 00 pm, the celebration banquet also kicked off at 7: 00 pm. However, kasich, who was cautious, did not show up and deliver a speech until nearly 10: 00 pm, when more than 60% of the votes in the whole state were counted. The three hours in the middle are reserved for media, voters and special guests to socialize freely.

Actively prepare for the celebration to interview and shoot the major media around the world. Jin Xiao Li tu

Lock in the support of key party figures in New Hampshire

Most of the special guests are senior members of the Republican Party in New Hampshire, core members of the kasich campaign group and their families. On the way, we met Michael Coleman, the representative of the Republican Committee in Yorkshire, Maine. Coleman told us that kasich had already locked in the support of many key party figures in New Hampshire, such as John E. Sununu, a former senator from NSW. It is reported that sununu not only publicly endorsed kasich, but also served as the chairman of kasich’s campaign committee in NSW. The whole team has organized and coordinated nearly 190 public meetings in recent months. Sununu’s father, John H. John H. Sununu, is the 75th governor of NSW, and his younger brother, Chris Sununu, has also won the primary election in the new governor’s election, which shows that the entire sununu family has the right to speak in the NSW Republican Party. It is no wonder that kasich immediately expressed his special thanks to sununu at the beginning of his speech, even saying that without his unremitting support, he would not have achieved his second place today.

In the contact with kasich’s team at the meeting, we learned that sununu was not the only party supporter of kasich in New Hampshire, and a long list of election-supporting presidium was filled with the names of recent party leaders in the state, including former federal representatives Charlie Bass and Chuck Douglas. Gordon Humphrey, a former federal senator, Nancy Merrill, a former member of the Republican National Committee, Fergus Cullen, a former Republican chairman of the state, and Tom Rath, a former state attorney general, and so on. These leaders of the Republican Party in New Hampshire not only attended the celebration party that night, but sununu and Humphrey also acted as spokespersons for kasich’s interview with the media, striving to create a good impression for kasich in the major media. In the past few weeks, from The New York Times, a world-class media, to Nashua Telegraph and Concord Monitor, local media have voiced their endorsement for kasich. Although kasich is not well-known in the whole country, he can lock in a lot of media support, and his team’s former senior Republican officials can’t be underestimated.

Kasich: A Hawk in the American Budget

Among the special guests, we also had the honor to meet Ms. Shays, the wife of former Connecticut Congressman Chris Shays. She told us that kasich was well-known not only in the Republican Party in NSW, but also among his former congressional colleagues. Before becoming governor, kasich served as a senior member of the House of Representatives for 18 years, including 6 years as the chairman of the House Budget Committee, and has always maintained a good reputation in the House of Representatives. Her husband Shays worked with kasich on the Budget Committee, and was his good friend and admirer for many years.

Indeed, kasich’s moderate attitude on social issues such as same-sex marriage has made many people forget that he is a famous hawk on American financial issues.Kasich’s most outstanding achievement is to coordinate the budget plan with the White House, which helped the United States achieve a rare fiscal surplus in 1997 (the US budget deficit in 2016 was about $216 billion). Ms. Shays pointed out: "As the then chairman of the Budget Committee, the remarkable thing about kasich’s budget balance was that he was facing a Democratic president, Bill Clinton."The reduction of financial expenditure is often the best test of a politician’s cross-party communication ability. Although both parties are aware of the crisis of the huge deficit, whenever the Republican Party proposes to reduce its investment in social welfare, the Democratic Party says that it will cut its military expenditure in the same proportion. In the end, the two parties often break up in discord and achieve nothing. Ms Shays believes that kasich’s achievements in controlling the budget prove that he is not a politician who only talks empty words, but a real policy expert. Coincidentally, Portsmouth Herald, a well-known local newspaper in NSW, also mentioned in its endorsement to kasich: "In terms of government financial expenditure, experienced kasich deserves the trust and support of voters."

There are criticisms that kasich is too moderate? Ms Shays also defended him: "The most remarkable thing about kasich is that he knows when to cross-party cooperation and when to stick to principles. Some people say that kasich is too gentle like a teddy bear, because they don’t see kasich’s principled side. "

For example, on the issue of Ohio’s reduction of nursing house medical subsidy, kasich tried to defend the value of Republicans. It is understood that in the United States, elderly people who are ill can choose to live in nursing homes or receive treatment from hospitals at home, and the government will provide a large amount of subsidies to nursing homes every year. Although this has improved the service quality of nursing homes to a certain extent, it constitutes unfair competition for hospitals that provide home treatment services, and a large number of empty beds in nursing homes have also seriously wasted government subsidies and harmed the interests of taxpayers. In order to change this phenomenon, kasich proposed to reduce the subsidy for nursing homes by more than 400 million yuan in two years. As a result, it was opposed by three related lobbying teams in Ohio. They spent huge sums of money to make opposition advertisements and broadcast them on TV. However, this did not shake kasich’s determination, and he even used a controversial veto to protect his reform achievements in reducing subsidies.

Ms. Shays’ description can enrich the image of kasich in our hearts, but it is undeniable that many policies of kasich are actually controversial. For example, CBS News reported that in 2011, kasich, then governor of Ohio, supported the adoption of legislation to restrict social workers’ collective bargaining rights on work treatment, and as many as 350,000 people, including teachers, policemen and firefighters, were implicated. In the end, voters in the whole state overturned this legislation through a referendum convened by the trade union, which also reduced kasich’s support rate to around 30%. In 2015, kasich said that he would cut the financial subsidy for public schools by $84 million. This policy also brought a lot of opposition from the fiscal hawk.

Support voters: Tired of the endless mutual attacks within the Republican Party, kasich’s political outlook is very positive

Besides the special guests, we also met many ordinary supporters of kasich at the celebration. Because all tickets for the celebration are free to the public, any kasich supporter can enter the venue and wait for the process of counting votes together to witness the final ranking of kasich. What kind of voters are there in kasich? What qualities do voters value most about kasich? What we want to know most about this celebration dinner in kasich is which voters kasich has attracted.

Many kasich supporters present said that they were tired of the endless negative advertisements attacking each other in the Republican Party, while kasich paid more attention to policies and did not take a negative attack route, which was exactly what they appreciated. The Boston Globe also echoed the views of these voters and reported that,Choosing kasich is actually a positive political outlook, because he doesn’t win the election by arousing the fear of voters like other candidates.

The conference hall was crowded with guests from all walks of life and the media, which was very crowded and lively. Jin Xiao Li tu

In the interview, it was found that many supporters of kasich were independent voters without party affiliation. For example, an African-American female voter who supported kasich said that in 2008 and 2012, her choice had been the Democratic Obama. She believes that this year, the Democratic Party’s policy was too radical because of Saunders’ influence. She began to worry about the high property tax, so she turned to support kasich, which tends to be conservative in economic policies and more tolerant in social issues. Coming from an immigrant family, she noticed that kasich not only supported giving illegal immigrants legal status, but also did not completely deny illegal immigrants the right to eventually obtain citizenship like other Republicans, which gave kasich a lot of points in the support rate among immigrants.

Kasich smiled and shook hands with the audience after his speech. Jin Xiao Li tu

According to the exit poll conducted by Fox News at the exits of polling stations, among all independent voters, kasich was second only to Trump, with 17% of the votes. Among all the swing voters (late voter), kasich surpassed Trump to become the first with 21% of the votes. In 2008, John Sidney McCain, who was not favored by the establishment at first, conquered moderate independents and wavering voters in New Hampshire by a large number of grassroots gatherings, which was exactly the same as kasich’s strategy in New Hampshire.

However, after all, the voters attending the celebration are all loyal fans of kasich, and the advantages of kasich in their hearts are precisely the disadvantages of other voters. For example, in 1993, kasich led a draft proposal to deprive the children of illegal immigrants of their birth citizenship, and he reiterated this view in the 2010 governor’s election. In this year’s primary election, however, kasich saw clearly the antipathy of immigrant groups to Trump, perhaps in order to seize these votes, and he completely denied his previous position in order to gain the support of immigrant groups.The Boston Globe reported that in order to win over neutral voters, kasich blindly shifted his political stance to the left. Some independent voters in New Hampshire even said that they had hesitated between Sanders and kasich, which is enough to show that kasich’s position has changed greatly.

On-the-spot documentary: kasich took the second place unexpectedly, and the lobbying group came to express its demands.

In addition to voters, media and special guests, a group of people also appeared at kasich’s celebration that night. They have just arrived from Iowa, made a short stop in New Hampshire, and will soon follow the trajectory of the campaign to the next stop. They are a unique landscape in American politics-the Advocacy Group. Advocacy organizations, or lobbying groups, are organizations that promote certain policies and interests. They often attend the campaign activities of various candidates, and get in touch with various campaign teams before the candidates are elected, so as to uphold the interests they represent. At the celebration in kasich, we interviewed a small non-governmental lobbying group with the goal of "legalizing industrial Hemp (HEMP)".

Industrial hemp, also known as hemp, is different from medical hemp. Hemp is a recyclable energy used in agricultural planting, paper making, military supplies, chemical industry and so on. However, since 1937, the Marijuana in the United States began to strictly control all Cannabis crops, including hemp. At present, only four states in the United States can legally grow industrial cannabis. Hemp growers think that their interests have been seriously damaged. They actively contacted the National Hemp Association and organized this Road Trip after receiving financial support. The Hemp Team followed in the footsteps of the candidates with a national flag made entirely of Hemp, hoping that more candidates could show their support for the legalization of Hemp by taking photos with the national flag. As of the time of publication, they have made formal contact with Bernie Sanders team. According to the members of the organization, the Sanders team is coordinating an opportunity to communicate with them alone, listening to and considering the demands of the Chinese hemp organization.

At the end of the celebration, the scene was very crowded. Jin Xiao Li tu

In the crowded venue, Han Ma is by no means the only lobbying group that is gearing up. Compared with the folk nature of hemp organizations, many lobbying groups are more secretive interest groups. Many interest groups smell the news that kasich may be upset tonight, and are prepared to use the opportunity of the celebration to get face-to-face contact with the kasich team. For all kinds of lobbying organizations, kasich is definitely not the only choice. Which candidate has stronger momentum, where lobbying organizations will naturally increase. In the seemingly noisy environment of the celebration, many calm negotiations and political games have also begun in one corner.

At about 11 pm, the celebration in kasich officially ended, and many media were still reluctant to leave, racing against time to report the sudden emergence of kasich in New Hampshire. However, that happy atmosphere of the celebration did not erase the fact that kasich’s nationwide election was still not optimistic. In 2012, Newt Gingrich, the Republican candidate, put all his campaign centers in South Carolina. Although he won the first place in South Carolina, his nationwide momentum could not be compared with Romney, which is very similar to kasich’s strategy of betting all his money on New Hampshire this year. Even worse for kasich, his New Hampshire votes mainly came from urban areas, while the 13 states that held the primary election on March 1st "Super Tuesday" were located in the south, and their voters were relatively conservative, more like rural areas in New Hampshire. Kasich’s troubles don’t even have to wait until "Super Tuesday"-because the next stop of the primary election, South Carolina is one of the states with the highest proportion of black people and the most conservative ideology in the United States. Only by surviving the two stages of South Carolina and "Super Tuesday" first can kasich be said to be a new hope that the Republican establishment can rely on.

　　[Text/Observer Network Xiong Chaoran] In the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict, as a result of Israel’s relentless bombing of the Gaza Strip, as many as 800 EU officials wrote to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, criticizing her support for Israel’s "uncontrolled" (or "unrestricted").

　　On October 20th, local time, Al Jazeera pointed out that according to the contents of this letter, the signatories "can hardly agree with the values of the EU", and pointed out that in the past few days, the EU seemed indifferent to the ongoing "civilian massacre" in Gaza, ignoring human rights and international humanitarian law. These people are also sad about the "double standards" of the European Commission, because compared with the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip is "completely ignored".

　　"If the Israelis don’t stop immediately, the whole Gaza and its residents will disappear from the earth." Nearly a thousand EU officials shouted to Ursula von der Leyen in the letter: "We urge you to join the leaders of the whole EU in calling for a ceasefire and protecting civilian lives, which is the core of the EU’s existence." They also warned that otherwise, "the EU risks losing all its credibility".

　　Al Jazeera pointed out that the appearance of this letter represents "profound differences" within the EU on how to deal with the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which has caused thousands of deaths in less than two weeks.

　　According to reports, these EU officials did not shy away from criticizing the European Commission. The letter said: "The recent regrettable actions or positions of the European Commission seem to provide freedom for the acceleration and legality of war crimes in Gaza. If the EU calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities and indiscriminate violence against civilians, we will be proud."

　　In this case, the European Commission said that it has taken note of this letter and is ready to contact the staff and European citizens to understand their views and positions.

　　"Chairman (Ursula von der Leyen) has repeatedly stated that ‘ It is not contradictory to unite with Israel and meet the humanitarian needs of the Palestinian people. " A spokesperson for the European Commission told Al Jazeera: "She also said that we (the EU) cannot hesitate, and Europe will always stand on the side of humanity and human rights."

　　At present, Ursula von der Leyen is attending the US-Europe Summit in the United States. An EU source, who asked not to be named, admitted to Al Jazeera that the letter is unlikely to change EU policies, "but it shows that there are growing differences among many (EU) staff who want to see international law applied globally".

　　Another EU source also told Al Jazeera that opposition within the EU is on the rise because Ursula von der Leyen’s team "seems to have completely misjudged the situation".

　　"They — — She and her closest advisers — — Think that this Palestinian-Israeli conflict will be another ‘ Ukrainian moment ’ So they want to condemn the terrorists and win the moral debate. But I don’t think they understand the degree of oppression experienced by Palestinians at all, and they don’t understand that people generally believe that this conflict is a violent resistance to occupation. "

　　The official believes that Ursula von der Leyen is "still struggling morally about what position to take", adding that her position from now on may depend on "diplomatic efforts on a global scale and the position of US Secretary of State Blinken".

　　"The team (in Ursula von der Leyen) is trying to adjust its route and admit that they misjudged the situation. They are trying to rewrite a narrative in which they can still be regarded as a staunch ally of Israel and a diplomatic force in the region, while trying to continue to maintain a certain degree of credibility in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. " But the official changed the subject: "But in this case, it seems that Americans will be the adults in the room."

　　On October 20th, local time, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Michelle met with US President Biden in Washington. The US "politician" news network said on October 20 that the visit of the two EU leaders has an important goal, that is, to establish a United front on the Palestinian-Israeli issue. Nevertheless, even before the talks began, the differences between the two men were on the table — — Michelle met Biden in the Oval Office of the White House, while Ursula von der Leyen waited until after the talks to talk with Biden while walking in the White House Rose Garden.

　　At the same time, like Ursula von der Leyen, the current Speaker of the European Parliament, Metsola, has been questioned by her officials, after she went to Israel with Ursula von der Leyen. Borrell, the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, won the praise of some EU officials this time, thinking that his position in the current situation is different from that of Ursula von der Leyen and Metsola, and he often calls for the release of hostages and the rapid delivery of aid to the besieged areas on the verge of collapse.

　　Kristina Kausch, a senior researcher at the German Marshall Foundation, an American think tank, pointed out that in the past 10 years, the 27 EU countries "almost failed to make any joint statement" on the Palestinian-Israeli crisis. As a result, she said, the EU’s policy on the Palestinian-Israeli issue is "hopelessly stagnant", and the Palestinian-Israeli issue is a key criterion for the EU to become a "global actor".

　　On October 19th, local time, the European Parliament, headquartered in Strasbourg, France, passed a resolution calling on all parties to achieve a "humanitarian ceasefire" in the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict. However, some officials said that there were still a lot of differences, such as a debate on whether to use the wording "ceasefire" or "suspension of the conflict" in the resolution, and there was no mention of the Israeli occupation or blockade of the Gaza Strip.

　　"For our group of officials, ‘ (Conflict) Never come again ’ It is actually meaningful. " An EU official said: "We remember the September 11th incident, and many of us protested against the Iraq war. So I think that when Ursula von der Leyen and Metsola seem to provide full support to Israel in our name, many people are shocked and feel that the space for expressing solidarity with the Palestinians is shrinking. "

　　Al Jazeera finally pointed out that just before EU officials appealed to Ursula von der Leyen, there seemed to be other signs of political friction in the whole western world.

　　Following the resignation of Josh Paul, director of the State Council’s Political and Military Affairs Bureau, who was dissatisfied with the military aid to Israel, according to the Huffington Post on October 19th, local time, many officials in the State Council revealed that more people were prepared to formally raise objections to Biden’s administration on the handling of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, more and more people were considering resigning like Paul, and others were preparing an internal "objection telegram" criticizing the US foreign policy toward Israel.

　　According to the report, for the Palestinian-Israeli policy of the Biden administration, "Mutiny Brewing at all levels within the State Council."

　　As of October 20, this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict has caused more than 5,600 deaths on both sides. The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced on the 20 th that this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict has caused 4,218 deaths in Pakistan, including more than 4,137 deaths in the Gaza and more than 12,000 injuries; 81 people were killed and more than 1,400 injured in the West Bank. Israeli media quoted data from the Israeli Ministry of Health. As of the afternoon of the 18th, more than 1,400 Israelis and foreigners had died in Israel.

Tesla fell more than 10% on Friday, and its market value evaporated by more than 10 billion US dollars. Before that, Musk said that Tesla’s share price was too high.

Musk released a series of strange tweets on Friday, which even made investors think that Musk’s account was stolen.

At first, Musk claimed that he would sell "almost all tangible property, and there would be no house".

But what really has a negative impact on Tesla’s stock is his next tweet. He said, "In my opinion, Tesla’s stock price is too high." This led investors to sell Tesla shares sharply. Some investors think that he is selling Tesla shares, while others think that his account has been hacked.

Four minutes later, Musk said that the United States should "restore people’s freedom".

Then, Musk began to send star-spangled banner lyrics.

Judging from Musk’s consistent "outspoken", such remarks are also normal. Musk even lost the position of chairman because of privatization remarks.

When asked if Twitter’s comments about Tesla’s share price were censored or just a joke, Musk said "no". It is worth noting that Musk had previously agreed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that public speeches on Tesla’s finance and other topics would be submitted to his legal counsel for review.

The SEC declined to comment on Tesla CEO Musk’s tweet about "Tesla’s share price is too high". Although Tesla’s share price fell on Friday, it has still risen by more than 40% since May 1, 2019.

The government’s behavior is "fascism"

Musk also criticized the California government’s home order, which forced him to close Tesla’s factory in fremont, California.

Musk has always been "outspoken" about the coronavirus pandemic. He told investors in the company’s earnings conference call on Wednesday that the local asylum order "forcibly imprisoned people at home, which violated constitutional rights" and even called the government’s behavior "fascism".

Musk said he was worried that the factory in fremont, California would not be able to resume operation, and said that this possibility should be regarded as a "serious risk". Tesla initially said that the factory would continue to operate despite the local asylum order, but then the government said that the production of cars could not be regarded as a necessary business. Six counties, including Alameda (where the Tesla factory is located), recently extended the local asylum order until the end of May.

Previously, Tesla unexpectedly "immunized" in the first quarter and made a profit for the third consecutive quarter. Tesla’s revenue in the first quarter increased from $4.54 billion in the same period last year to $5.99 billion, and the market expectation was $5.90 billion. Excluding special items, Tesla earned $1.24 per share, compared with a loss of $2.90 in the same period last year. The market expects a loss of 36 cents per share.

(Cailian Wu Bin)

Lei Jun, undoubtedly the great online celebrity.

Last week, I appeared at the Guangzhou Auto Show, and the booth of Xiaomi Automobile had to queue up.

This afternoon, Lei Jun officially announced in Weibo that Xiaomi SU7 delivered over 100,000 units, fulfilling the annual target ahead of schedule.

Even more frightening, I want to tell you:

The gross profit margin of Xiaomi qi’c has reached 17.1%.

What about selling cars at a loss?

You see, Xiaomi Automobile has released its latest third-quarter financial report.

The gross profit margin of Xiaomi Automobile reached a new high, reaching 17.1%, and it was still 15.4% in the second quarter.

Think of JD.COM founder Liu Qiangdong that sentence:

"Don’t compete with Lei Jun in marketing. We can’t compete with him. He is not an ordinary person."

Do you know how exaggerated this is?

In the third quarter, Tesla’s gross profit margin was 16.4% (only counting the gross profit margin of automobile sales, mainly relying on the energy sector to make money).

Extreme krypton is 15.7%.

(Wei Lai and Tucki have not released Q3 data yet)

Hengchi Automobile has never made any money at all.

In a short time, Xiaomi has surpassed Tesla and Krypton.

Xiaomi said that there are two reasons for the increase in gross profit margin:

1. The delivery ratio of high version SU7 increased.The revenue of Xiaomi Automobile increased by 52% compared with last quarter.

According to the data released by Xiaomi, a total of 39,790 SU7s were delivered in the third quarter.

Car revenue was 9.5 billion, equivalent to an average selling price of 238,650 yuan per car, an increase from last quarter.

The cost of cars is 8.037 billion, which is equivalent to an average cost of 201.98 million per car.

In other words, every time Lei Jun sells a car, the gross profit is 36,700 yuan.

What about building a car at a loss?

2. The price of automobile core parts and the unit manufacturing cost are reduced.

The premium of the higher version of SU7 is also relatively high.

In the third quarter, the price of automobile core parts dropped, which reduced the profit of suppliers and increased the income of Xiaomi Automobile.

However, if other expenses are counted, Xiaomi Automobile is still making a car at a loss.

According to the latest financial report, the adjusted net loss of innovative businesses such as Xiaomi Smart Electric Vehicle is 1.5 billion yuan.

It can be referenced that Q1 has a net loss of 2.3 billion and Q2 has a net loss of 1.8 billion.

The losses are getting smaller and smaller.

When Faramie comes out, it is estimated that he will start making money.

What’s wrong with Xiaomi’s financial report?

That is, Xiaomi’s revenue in the third quarter was mainly boosted by the mainland, and the proportion of overseas income declined.

The proportion of income from Chinese mainland increased to 56.6%, while that from Indian and European countries decreased to 43.4%.

To the cat’s surprise, the shipment of Xiaomi air conditioner still increased by 55% in the third quarter, with a shipment of 1.7 million units.

I don’t know if I’m nervous with Gree.

Finally, let’s talk about the employees’ situation. Xiaomi’s per capita salary is not low, but it was also reduced in the third quarter.

Compared with the end of June, in the third quarter, the mainland and India increased by 4,499 and 33 employees respectively.

42,000 millet workers, with an average monthly salary of 45,200, a decrease of 2,800 yuan compared with the previous quarter.

Slight drop, not much drop, 5.8% pay cut.

With so many entrepreneurs who build cars across borders, Lei Jun can be regarded as a popular fried chicken.

Look at Evergrande, Baoneng and Weimar, and then look at the recent capital chain crisis of Hechuang and Nezha.

On the contrary, Xiaomi not only failed to take the main business of selling mobile phones, but also gained a wave of traffic in the car circle.

What do you think of Xiaomi’s future?

Pay attention to the wealth cat, we continue to pay attention ~
