When it comes to vacuum packaging, most people think that this kind of food is not easy to go bad, and it doesn’t take much thought to store it, which is safer than the food in general packaging. Is this really the case?

✓

What has vacuum packaging changed?

Vacuum packaging is a "modified atmosphere preservation" process. The result of vacuum pumping is the elimination of oxygen in food.

The deterioration of food is closely related to oxygen. On the one hand, the oxidation of oil in aerobic environment will produce "spicy taste"; On the other hand, aerobic bacteria in food will grow, causing food to rot, become sour, smelly and sticky.

Vacuuming removes the oxygen in the packaging bag, the oxidation of oil is inhibited, the growth of aerobic bacteria is also inhibited, and the food can remain "unchanged" for a longer time. However, this "invariability" is only visual and olfactory. Nature is full of all kinds of bacteria. In the presence of air, aerobic bacteria can flourish and anaerobic bacteria can be inhibited. However, after vacuumizing, aerobic bacteria will be inhibited and anaerobic bacteria will be "like a duck to water".

Anaerobic bacteria will not make food sour, smelly and sticky when growing, but they can produce toxins. Among them, the most important is Clostridium botulinum, which is commonly known as Botox.

How "awesome" is Botox?

Botox exists widely in nature, such as vegetables, fish, meat and poultry. Botox itself is not harmful, and it can be killed by normal cooking conditions (cooking food). However, the terrible thing about Botox is that it can form spores. Spores are tenacious, and can "stubbornly persist" in boiling water for several hours under neutral conditions. When the conditions are right (such as at room temperature, without enough preservatives and in a non-acidic environment), Botox can grow up and then produce botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin is a very toxic biological toxin, and its lethal dose is in the order of microgram.

Ordinary cooking (cooking food) can kill Botox, but not spores. For example, at 100℃, it takes 5 hours to kill spores. Therefore, even in cooked food, there may be spores of botulinum. At this point, several situations may occur:

1. If these foods are eaten directly, then these spores will not cause problems; 2. Put the food in the refrigerator, because it is in a low temperature environment, these spores will not grow and produce toxins; 3. If the food containing spores is placed at room temperature, because there is oxygen in the air, these spores will not grow and produce toxins, but the food may be spoiled by other bacteria; 4. Vacuumize the food containing botulism spores, and put it in a normal temperature environment. At this time, the spores will grow into botulism and secrete toxins. On the surface, the food does not seem to go bad, but once people eat such food, they will be dizzy, weak and blurred, and even life-threatening.

✓

How to avoid botulinum toxin poisoning

Botox is widespread and botulinum toxin is "toxic", but there are not many actual poisoning cases. The reason is that when cooking at home or eating in a restaurant, most of the cases are made and eaten now, which will not give Botox any room to grow; In industrial production, as long as the norms are observed, the risks brought by Botox can also be avoided.

To put it simply, the basic techniques for avoiding the production of botulinum toxin in cooked food in the food industry are:

1. Low-moisture food

For example, foods such as nuts and biscuits have extremely low water content and will not grow bacteria. Vacuum packaging will inhibit oxidation, so that botulinum toxin will not be produced.

2. High-acid food with 2.pH below 4.6.

Under normal cooking conditions, the spores of botulinum can be killed, so that botulinum toxin will not be produced.

3. Neutral and high-moisture cooked food

Preservatives can be added to effectively inhibit botulinum, so that botulinum toxin will not be produced.

4. Neutral and high-moisture cooked food

Vacuum packaging (or non-vacuum) is adopted, and it is stored in cold storage/freezing condition, and the growth of botulinum is inhibited by low temperature, so that botulinum toxin will not be produced.

5. Neutral, high-moisture and preservative-free food

After ultra-high temperature heating and packaging under aseptic conditions, the spores of botulinum can be killed, and botulinum toxin will not grow in the later stage.

6. Neutral, high-moisture and preservative-free food

Through canned/soft canned packaging, after high temperature (not lower than 121℃) and long time (more than 20 minutes) heating, Botox is killed, and then stored at room temperature, so that botulinum toxin will not be produced.

You may wish to think about whether the ready-to-eat food you buy meets the above conditions. Simply put, it is meaningful to pack cooked food in vacuum, which can better maintain the flavor and taste. However, after vacuumizing, it is more necessary to carry out refrigeration, otherwise the safety risk will be higher.

middleGuo Shuqing, secretary of the Party Committee of the People’s Bank of China and chairman of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission of China, recently wrote in Qiushi magazine that the financial sector has faced new major challenges after the COVID-19 epidemic, and the financial system should strive to ensure that the economic and social development goals are achieved as scheduled. The important tasks at this stage include fully promoting the national economy to return to a normal cycle, accelerating the structural reform of the financial supply side, and further strengthening the party’s leadership over financial work.

A quick glance at the main points

1. The real estate bubble is the biggest "grey rhinoceros" threatening financial security, and the current real estate financialization bubble momentum has been curbed.

2. At present, some countries implement unlimited quantitative easing policy, and the long-term effect is very uncertain.

3. Credit risk is the most basic risk in the financial industry, and toxic assets are the focus that must be removed with determination. Covering up the delay will only delay the treatment and eventually bring serious consequences.

4. The risk of shadow banking is "low ignition point" and "high intensity". If there is any trouble, it may form a "prairie fire" and cause endless harm.

5. There are no high-return and low-risk financial products in the world, and there is no so-called "steady profit without loss" financial management project. It is financial fraud to promote "guaranteed capital and high income".

The trend of real estate financialization and bubble has been curbed.

Guo Shuqing said that the real estate bubble is the biggest "grey rhinoceros" threatening financial security. In recent years, various regions and departments have optimized the allocation of financial resources in accordance with the spirit of "housing and not speculating" and "one city, one policy" to prevent funds from flowing into the real estate market in violation of regulations. Compared with 2016, the growth rate of real estate loans decreased by 12 percentage points, and the proportion of new real estate loans in all new loans decreased by 10 percentage points. It not only meets the normal needs of the steady development of the real estate industry, but also avoids greater risks due to excessive concentration of funds.

There is uncertainty about the long-term effect of unlimited quantitative easing policy.

Guo Shuqing said that at present, many countries in the world, especially the most developed countries, have adopted strong stimulus measures. Some countries have implemented unlimited quantitative easing policies, and both fiscal and monetary policies have released a large amount of liquidity to the market, providing direct financing or guarantees to individuals and enterprises. In the short term, this approach is conducive to stabilizing the economy and finance, but there is great uncertainty about the long-term effect.

There is no free lunch in the world, and there is no feast that must come to an end. In the international monetary system dominated by the US dollar, the unprecedented unlimited quantitative easing policy in the United States actually consumes the credit of the US dollar and erodes the foundation of global financial stability, which will have unimaginable negative effects. Emerging economies may face multiple pressures such as imported inflation, shrinking foreign currency assets, exchange rate and capital market shocks. More seriously, the world may once again come to the brink of the global financial crisis.

Increase the disposal of non-performing assets

Guo Shuqing said that financial institutions should adopt a more prudent financial accounting system, classify real assets and fully expose non-performing assets. In daily supervision, it is not simple to take the rise of non-performing rate as a criterion. It is necessary to make use of the financial space vacated by the reduction of provision supervision requirements and increase the disposal of non-performing assets. Formulate realistic income and profit plans, and increase provision and capital replenishment. Clear the policy blocking point of non-performing assets disposal and create more favorable conditions for improving the stability of the financial system.

Guo Shuqing revealed in an interview with the media a few days ago, "It is estimated that the banking industry will dispose of 3.4 trillion yuan of non-performing loans this year, which is stronger than last year’s 2.3 trillion yuan. The disposal will be even stronger next year, because many loans have been postponed and some problems will only be exposed next year."

Maintain a high-pressure situation for high-risk businesses

Guo Shuqing said that it is necessary to adopt a series of macro-hedging policies to deal with the epidemic, and further efforts may be made in case of new abnormal situations during implementation. However, we can’t help but see that enterprises, residents and governments may increase their debts in the context of loose funds. After the expectation of downward consistency of interest rates is strengthened, it may encourage leveraged trading and speculation and give birth to a new round of asset bubbles. Real estate prices in some places began to rebound, and financial resources may once again be concentrated in high-risk areas. Borrowers with poor credit may maliciously evade debts by delaying repayment and other preferential policies, and high-risk shadow banks with complex structures are also prone to make a comeback.

He emphasized that at present, after unremitting governance, the risks of shadow banking have been controlled to a certain extent, but the soil for survival has not been completely eradicated. A slight relaxation of supervision is likely to fully regain its momentum, leading to all previous efforts being abandoned. It is necessary to maintain strategic strength and maintain a high-pressure situation for high-risk businesses. Highlight the principle of simplicity and transparency, standardize cross-financial products, so that the boundaries between public offerings and private offerings are clear, the risks of on-balance-sheet business and off-balance-sheet business are isolated, the entrusted business and self-operated business are operated separately, and the savings products and investment products are distinct. Strive to realize the clear responsibilities and orderly division of labor in the stock market, bond market, credit market and money market. At the same time, we will continue to rectify Internet financial risks and severely crack down on illegal financial activities such as illegal fund-raising.

Timely handling different types of institutional risks.

Guo Shuqing pointed out that institutions with different risks should make accurate and effective policies. High-risk financial groups shall be disposed of according to the established plan and division of labor. For rural financial institutions, adhere to the overall stability of county legal person status, and encourage the use of various ways to supplement capital and introduce strategic investors. For local legal institutions such as city commercial banks and trusts, support provincial governments to formulate and implement disposal plans, and financial management departments strengthen professional guidance. Pay close attention to the study and put forward the list of domestic systemically important banks, and organize the formulation of recovery and disposal plans for financial institutions in the list.

It is necessary to establish an efficient risk disposal mechanism for problem institutions. Financial institutions perform the main responsibilities, and shareholders, especially major shareholders, have to bear important responsibilities. When local party committees and governments perform territorial responsibilities, they should closely combine the responsibility of implementing local party leadership, the responsibility of managing local state-owned financial capital, the responsibility of handling risks in their jurisdictions and the responsibility of maintaining social stability. The financial management department shall perform the main responsibility of supervision. Improve the deposit insurance system and institutional system, and give full play to the role of early intervention, early warning and early disposal.

Actively participate in the formulation of international financial governance and regulatory rules.

Guo Shuqing pointed out that we should follow the principle of autonomy, order, equality and security, and strive to achieve a higher level of financial opening on the premise of ensuring financial sovereignty. Accelerate the construction of an open, transparent, stable and predictable regulatory policy environment, and encourage Chinese and foreign financial institutions to compete on an equal footing, deepen cooperation, learn from each other and promote innovation. Improve the macro-financial management and risk prevention and control capabilities under open conditions, and timely discover and effectively prevent external shocks from spreading to China. Actively participate in the formulation of international financial governance and regulatory rules, strengthen international coordination of macroeconomic policies, and improve the right to speak internationally.

Effectively strengthen the education and protection of financial consumers.

Guo Shuqing said that it is necessary to strengthen the popularization of financial knowledge, so that urban and rural residents can understand that investment is risky. Both institutional and individual investors should establish awareness of value investment, rational investment and risk prevention. Carry forward the spirit of contract, strengthen the awareness of the rule of law, adhere to the law, and increase the illegal cost. Simplify product structure, strictly stratify customers, and truthfully report risks. Strengthen information disclosure and improve market transparency. Accelerate the construction of social credit system, further improve the joint punishment mechanism for dishonesty, and promptly correct all kinds of illegal acts that mislead financial consumers.

Special feature of 1905 film network "As long as I have a breath, I will stand on the podium, do my best, give everything, and have no regrets when I die!"

Rooted in frontier education for more than 40 years, he promoted the establishment of the first free high school for girls in China. Since its establishment in 2008, he has helped more than 2,000 girls to go out of the mountains and enter universities. Zhang Guimei, the "burning lamp principal", has been widely praised for his touching deeds of blocking the intergenerational transmission of poverty through education.

Over the years, Zhang Guimei has successively won the title of "Model of the Times", "Touching the Person of the Year in China in 2020" and "July 1st Medal". Over the past two years, artists from all walks of life have created Zhang Guimei’s touching stories in various artistic forms, which has enabled the whole society to have a more comprehensive understanding and understanding of her.

Yunnan Theatre has launched a large-scale original drama "Teacher Gui Mei", which is developed in the form of modern drama of "repeating the past". Yunnan Yunnan Theatre integrates national characteristics, presents the Yunnan opera Zhang Guimei, and enters the stage of the National Grand Theatre. "Bloom" reproduces Zhang Guimei’s life as an original musical in the new era, starring singer Sitar tan, and successfully premiered in Beijing in September this year.

Picture musical "Bloom"

A few days ago, the drama series "Girls’ School in Dashan" based on Zhang Guimei’s true story released a poster to announce the boot plan. Similarly, the film "Great She" focusing on Zhang Guimei is also being produced.

What are the highlights of these works? At present, the film and television creation around the model of the times continues, and how to shoot and play the model characters well is also a challenge that the creators must face.

Are you looking forward to the movie "Zhang Guimei"?

"Girls’ School in Dashan" was filmed and put on record in May this year. It will tell the story of Zhang Guimei’s struggle and dedication on the education front from the establishment of a free high school for girls to attracting more and more children to apply for the exam. Later, her health went from bad to worse.

According to the summary, it can be seen that the drama truly follows Zhang Guimei’s real experience in the plot, and will comprehensively show the whole process of her hard work for mountain education from the past to the present.

Yang Fei is the director, Yuan Bullet, the screenwriter of Ode to Joy, Ding Han, the screenwriter of Island Keeper, and Yuan Keping, the screenwriter of Great Rivers, are the consultants. Judging from the screenwriter lineup, it has assembled the main behind-the-scenes creative forces of high-profile realistic film and television works in recent years.

Yang Fei has directed online dramas such as Angry Sunny Xiangxi, Longling Cave, Antique close encounter of mahjong Ⅱ: Looking for Porcelain by Looking for Ink, Splendid Stars and Splendid Moon Rising to the Sea, and is good at themes such as costume, suspense, fantasy and adventure. Girls’ School in the Mountains is a mainstream narrative drama featuring women, and it is an area he seldom touches. Such a director and screenwriter combination may collide with new sparks.

According to the true story of President Zhang Guimei, the cinema film "The Great She" released a casting group news some time ago.

According to public information, "Fuck off! Yuan Yuan, the screenwriter of tumor jun and Later Us, and Chen Qiling, a well-known writer, wrote the screenplay. Yuan Yuan was nominated for the Best Screenplay of Golden Rooster Award and Excellent Screenplay Award of China Film Watch Award, and Chen Qiling won the Excellent Screenplay Award of Xia Yanbei Film Screenplay Collection twice.

The film was directed by Dasheng Zheng and Yang Jin, and Dasheng Zheng was twice nominated for the Golden Rooster Award as the best director of Chinese film with 1921 and Village Drama. His works often draw on the reality from history to express his deep thinking on the development of China era. Yang Jin once directed films such as "Some people praise cleverness, others don’t", paying attention to rural theme creation.

This behind-the-scenes team includes two generations of directors who are deeply realistic films and two creators who are good at writing women’s emotional stories. The lineup is also worth looking forward to.

The film will focus on "the story of a determined woman and a group of teachers who have just graduated and are still immature, with more than 100 girls successfully changing their lives." It can be seen that the film not only has Zhang Guimei’s biography, but also shows many teachers’ roles with different characteristics and personalities.

The story of President Zhang Guimei in the creation of film and television works should follow the reality and also require new changes. The audience hopes to see a real Zhang Guimei in the light and shadow shaping, instead of routine, shouting slogans, deliberately sensational, exaggerated praise, and presenting this typical figure with different perspectives, structures and styles.

The theme creation of paying tribute to the model of the times is booming.

Since 2014, Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China has organized and awarded a number of advanced typical "model of the times" titles every year, and film and television creators have shot a series of biographies around them, writing big feelings with short stories and showing big themes with small incisions.

There are Li Baoguo, Mao Fengmei and Huang Danian with their titles, and there are prototypes of Happiness Coming Soon (prototype: Ma Shanxiang), Border Guard (prototype: Wei Deyou), My Himalaya (prototype: Zhuoga, Sister Yang Zong), HUANG WENXIU (prototype: Huang Wenxiu), and.

The Islander, based on the true story of Wang Jicai and Wang Shihua, won the Best Feature Film Award in the 34th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award in 2021. The film shows the ordinary and great dedication story of Wang Jicai and his wife Wang Shihua who have been guarding the border island of the motherland for 32 years, which embodies the lofty character of "people’s model" and touches everyone.

The theme of the model of the times has become an important content in the creation of current film and television works, expanding the new pattern and new realm of mainstream realistic themes.

Especially in recent years, many commercial cinema blockbusters have also explored the different heroic model images of each era in terms of materials, and gained high box office and good reputation. For example, "My Father and I" depicts the astronauts, Chinese Doctors truly depicts the heroic group of frontline medical staff fighting against the epidemic, and The Battle at Lake Changjin reproduces the heroic feats of heroic soldiers fighting against US aggression and aiding Korea on the battlefield.

Last year’s hit TV series "Meritorious Work" used unit dramas to tell the wonderful stories of eight meritorious deeds, all of whom were model figures who made great contributions to New China, including Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, Shen Jilan, who initiated "equal pay for equal work for men and women", and Tu Youyou, the first Nobel Prize winner in medicine in China. There is also Zhang Fuqing, who suffered hardships in the War of Liberation. After retiring, he resolutely went to poor mountainous areas to dedicate his life. He was awarded the title of "Model of the Times" in 2019.

"Meritorious Work" won the Award of Excellent TV Series and Excellent Actor in the 33rd China TV Series Flying Award. Minning Town, who also won the Award of Excellent TV Series, Excellent Screenplay and Excellent Actress, also reflected the glorious story of the model of the times.

Since 1996, the people of Fujian and Ningxia have created the "Min-Ning model" of the counterpart poverty alleviation cooperation between the east and the west, which has become a much-told story in poverty alleviation work. The plot in Minning Town also reshaped the image and history of Fujian-Ningxia counterparts in poverty alleviation and cooperation.

Not long ago, during the China Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival in 2022 and the 35th Golden Rooster Award of China Film, Wanda Pictures released a new film "Shen Jilan", which was directed by Haas Chaolu and starred by Yue Hong, and will reproduce Shen Jilan’s unshakable revolutionary beliefs and enduring labor qualities.

The film and television creation for model figures is becoming more and more hot, and how to film them well is quite challenging.

Chen Li, director of Islander, once admitted in an interview that she was afraid of making a didactic film, fearing that the film was not as touching as a report. After filming, she concluded that the focus of filming a good English model film is to experience life, go deep into life and capture moving details. "Don’t shout slogans, and don’t be tall." "Don’t be arrogant, but give the audience a sincerity."

How to perform a good role model is also a big challenge for actors. Only when the role is established and performed well can the work have a solid foundation and stand firm.

Li Xuejian once won the Golden Rooster Award in Chinese Film and the Best Actor Award in Hundred Flowers Award in Popular Film for his Jiao Yulu. He vividly interpreted the image of Jiao Yulu as a model cadre who loved the people and loved the people and worked hard. It is reported that at that time, in order to be close to Jiao Yulu’s body shape, he experienced life during the day and stayed up late at night to slim himself down, losing more than 20 kilograms and feeling tired.

The director of Jiao Yulu once praised, "Li Xuejian’s performance is surprisingly good. He is performing with his heart and soul." "Similarity" was achieved, and Li Xuejian tried his best to be "spiritual".

I hope that every next work on the theme of the model of the times will be able to shoot their true deeds with heart, affection and hard work. Only when an actor learns from and respects the model figures and puts his heart and soul into them can he turn him into me, perform brilliantly and live up to expectations.

[Global Times correspondent in the United States Zheng Ke Global Times reporter Ding Yazhi Global Times correspondent Xin Bin] The US Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis point rate hike on the 26th local time, which is the 11th rate hike since March 2022. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell said at a news conference that he would evaluate inflation, employment and economic data before deciding on his next move. Fearing that high interest rates will lead to rising borrowing costs and hit the economy, many analysts believe that it is unlikely that the Fed will continue to raise interest rates this year. On the evening of 27th, the US Department of Commerce released the year-on-year growth data of real GDP in the second quarter, which exceeded market expectations. It is even more difficult to predict whether the Fed will stop raising interest rates.

Or because of inflation?

The Federal Reserve held a meeting on the 26th local time, announcing the resumption of the pace of interest rate hike, with a rate hike of 25 percentage points, pushing the interest rate to the range of 5.25% to 5.5%, reaching the highest level in 22 years.

After the Fed made this interest rate decision, the market was mixed. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose for 13 consecutive trading days, with an increase of 0.2%, setting a record for the longest consecutive increase since 1987. The S&P 500 index closed flat on the 26th, while the Nasdaq index, dominated by technology stocks, fell slightly.

Xu Weihong, vice president of Yongxing Securities, told the Global Times reporter on the 27th that the Fed raised interest rates mainly for two reasons. On the one hand, the pressure of inflation in the United States is still great, and there is still a long way to go before the inflation rate falls to 2%. On the other hand, the employment data in the United States is strong, and the employment demand is still greater than the supply. Therefore, the Fed believes that the economy is hot and needs to raise interest rates to cool down.

Powell said that inflation has slowed down since the middle of last year, but there is still a long way to go to reach the Fed’s goal of 2%. Statistics show that the inflation rate in the United States has dropped from the 40-year high set last summer. In June, the consumer price index (CPI) rose by 3% year-on-year, far below the peak of 9.1% in June 2022. However, the Wall Street Journal pointed out that the core CPI in June still rose by 4.8% compared with the same period of last year. Fed officials have been worried that the potential price pressure may be more persistent, and the tight labor market allows workers to bargain for higher wages, which makes it more difficult to further reduce inflation.

"The Titanic began to crack."

Fed policymakers strive to keep the inflation rate at 2% for a long time, but raising interest rates to fight inflation will lead to tightening financial conditions, rising borrowing costs, falling stock prices and strengthening the dollar. Continuous interest rate hikes have led to the closure of three regional banks, so the Federal Reserve decided to suspend interest rate hikes in June to reassess the economic situation. The New York Times said that Fed officials believe that the current interest rate is high enough to put pressure on the economy, so they have been taking action more slowly.

USA Today reported on the 27th that the recent interest rate hike means that the borrowing costs of consumers and enterprises have risen again. Interest rates on loans such as credit cards, real estate and cars will rise again. The Fed’s rapid interest rate hike has undoubtedly brought a heavy blow to consumers’ wallets. According to WalletHub data, since the interest rate was raised by 500 basis points from March 2022 to May 2023, the borrower will pay an additional interest fee of $34.4 billion in the next 12 months. The Federal Reserve announced on the 26th that it would raise interest rates by another 25 basis points, which will make consumers spend another $1.72 billion.

In Xu Weihong’s view, people are debating whether the economy will decline. More and more people think that interest rates should not be raised. They are worried that raising interest rates will increase the possibility of economic recession. After the bankruptcies of several banks, such as American signature bank, Silicon Valley bank and First Total Bank, the Federal Reserve used a large number of short-term "window guidance" or refinancing tools to provide funds for American banks to ensure liquidity and ensure that there was no run. If the interest rate hike continues, the banking industry will face the risk of sustained losses.

"We have begun to see cracks, and the Titanic has not yet sunk." Kevin ollie Li, an investor in the American investment reality show "Winner of Creativity", told CNBC. He predicted that the cost of capital is rising rapidly, which is "strangling" the regional banks that support 60% of the American economy.

Last rate hike?

"I don’t think the Fed’s interest rate hike will last." Xu Weihong told reporters that there are two kinds of interest rates, one is "nominal interest rate" and the other is "real interest rate". At present, the interest rate of 5.25% to 5.5% belongs to "nominal interest rate", and the inflation rate is about 4%, so the real interest rate is actually just over 1: 00. Only positive interest rate can restrain investment and consumption. Previously, the nominal interest rate of the US dollar was lower than the inflation rate, and it has been in a negative interest rate cycle. By raising interest rates, the US dollar began to enter the era of positive interest rates, and the inhibitory effect of interest rate hikes on economic investment and consumption has just begun.

Tiffany Wilding of Pacific Investment Management Company predicts that with the Fed raising interest rates and tightening credit, labor demand and economic activities will be hit. She doesn’t think there will be further interest rate hikes this year. Jonathan Pingle, chief economist of UBS, also predicted that the Fed would stay put after taking action on Wednesday. However, he said that core inflation is still higher than the Fed’s 2% level, and it is too early to say that the Fed has completely given up raising interest rates.

What I bring to you today is a-. The following small series will tell you in detail.

Let’s take a look at the appearance of Arteon first. The front face of Arteon feels very stable and looks simple. The front headlights are very streamlined and look beautiful as a whole. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic opening and closing, adaptive far and near light, automatic steering, delayed closing, rain and fog mode and so on. Coming to the side of the car, the body size of the car is 4866 mm * 1871 mm * 1447 mm. The car adopts solid lines, and the side gives people a very domineering feeling. With large-sized thick-walled tires, smooth lines run through the whole side of the car. Looking back, the rear of the car echoes the front face, the taillights are very round, and the overall shape is still very attractive.

Coming into the Arteon car, the Arteon interior looks very dynamic and easily touches the hearts of young consumers. The steering wheel of the car is very in line with the interior style, and it is made of genuine leather. Everything looks very cold. Take a look at the central control, with a 9.2-inch central control screen, which makes the interior style impressive, and the details are still in place. Let Xiaobian introduce the dashboard and seats. The car is equipped with a simple and generous dashboard, which looks simple and fashionable. The car uses leather seats, which are wide and thick, and the overall comfort is good.

Arteon is matched with a wet dual clutch (DCT) gearbox, with a maximum power of 140KW and a maximum torque of 320N.m, and the power performance is good.

Look at the configuration again. Arteon is equipped with driving mode selection, remote control key, rear wiper, interior atmosphere light, engine start and stop and other configurations.

What’s your main impression of this car after reading the whole article? The moderate size of the car is a very suitable choice for many families, and the internal space is enough for daily use in families.

What is cross-country? Camping, long-distance self-driving, sand washing, climbing mountains and mountains … Everyone has a different definition. No matter which form, safety comes first. However, at present, there are too many cars that claim to be "off-road" in the market, especially new energy vehicles. Using the shape of a square box with electric four-wheel drive often gives people the illusion of hard-core off-road.

As an ordinary consumer, it is difficult to match the vehicle performance with the scene. In view of this situation, Great Wall Motor classifies off-road vehicles in a responsible attitude towards users.

Great Wall Motor divides off-road into four grades, from high to low, they are super off-road, strong off-road, pan-off-road and urban SUV. The tank brand products will cover three levels: super off-road, strong off-road and pan-off-road. The super off-road has not been released yet, and this level of vehicles is often used for emergency rescue, or only a few off-road players may contact it. At present, including, tank 400 Hi4-T, tank 500 Hi4-T and tank 700 Hi4-T, all belong to the strong off-road level. At this level, tanks have a relatively complete product matrix and user base.

Next, I believe that the tank brand will focus on the pan-off-road market. For this reason, the tank has released a new vertical dual-motor hybrid architecture HI4-Z.

An important feature of the Hi4-Z platform model is that it pays equal attention to energy consumption and performance. Compared with the Hi4-T model, it will be equipped with a larger capacity battery, with a longer battery life, exceeding 200km under WLTC working conditions, and even meeting the needs of most urban users for a week. At the same time, its maximum charging power can reach 163kW, and its battery life can be 120km after 15 minutes of charging.

At the same time, compared with Hi4, its performance is stronger. Hi4-Z uses P2+P4 dual-motor layout, in which P2 motor is both power generation and driving, P4 motor is driven at the rear axle, and the engine has 2.0T and 3.0T options, matching a self-developed vertical 3-speed DHT gearbox, which can adapt different gears according to different road conditions. Under this system, the comprehensive power of the vehicle can reach 715kW, and the three power sources simultaneously exert their power, which can realize 4s-class zero-hundred acceleration! At the same time, the Hi4-Z is also a decoupled off-road architecture that can be directly driven by a full-speed engine. The engine can be involved in driving at any speed, and even if it is fed, it can still achieve 5 s-class zero acceleration.

Red dot observation

The sales volume of tank brand reached 500,000 vehicles in 44 months, which fully proved the hard power and user recognition of its products. Although some achievements have been made, the tank brand has not stopped. Next, it will meet the needs of users more pertinently, and provide users with a better solution for each outdoor scene by adopting the multi-line method of Hi4-T, Hi4-Z, gasoline, diesel and hydrogen energy.

1905 movie network news With the continuous exposure and fermentation of the sexual assault on several female stars by harvey weinstein, the founder of Varnstam Company, the films under the name of Varnstam Company have finally been affected, especially those that are expected to participate in the Oscar competition. Recently, it was reported that the release of "Battle of Electricity" under the name of Varnstam Company was postponed.

"Battle of Power" was originally scheduled for November 24, 2017, which is a traditional shopping day in the United States, Black Friday. However, due to the consideration of box office, word of mouth and Oscar, Varnstam has postponed the film to 2018. Although the exact time is unknown, it is an indisputable fact that the film has been "dealt with". However, as long as the film is released before the closing time of Oscar registration, there is still hope that "Battle of Electricity" will participate in the Oscar.

Earlier reports pointed out that even if the film can enter the Oscar finals, it is also a technical award. In terms of art awards, the film has not made much achievements. Although there are two power entrepreneurs, Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse, in the film, the story does not tell the process of the invention of electricity, but focuses on the "commercial war".

Historically, Edison, played by benedict cumberbatch, was the inventor of direct current, while Westinghouse Electric, founded by westinghouse, took the lead in introducing high-voltage alternating current into the transmission system in the United States, breaking the situation that direct current dominated the world. The film "Battle of Electricity" will use dramatic methods to reproduce this unique confrontation that took place in the era of the second industrial revolution. It is worth mentioning that this is also the second time that Benny plays a genius after Van Gogh (), Hawking (), Sherlock Holmes () and Turing ().

The Battle of Electricity was directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rehong, the director of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, and Michael Mitnick () wrote the script for the film. Other stars include nicholas hoult (Tesla), katherine waterston (House’s wife) and Tom Holland (Edison’s assistant).

Judging from the current situation, Varnstam Company has not made large-scale adjustments to many of its films, only the War of Electric Power has been affected. It is almost the same schedule of "Pat Li De" and none of them have changed their schedules.
